The Tray Company has offered to sell 20,000 units of part no. 498 to Reno for $60
per unit. Reno will make the decision to buy the part from Tray if there is a
savings of $25,000 for Reno. If Reno accepts Tray's offer, $9 per unit of the fixed
overhead applied would be totally eliminated. Furthermore, Reno has determined
that the released facilities could be used to save relevant costs in the manufacture
of part no. 575. In order to have a savings of $25,000, the amount of relevant
costs that would be saved by using the released facilities in the manufacture of
part no. 575 would have to be:

(b) $85,000
(c) $125,000
(d) $140,000
Harrison Ford Company has been approached by a new customer with an
offer to purchase 10,000 units of its model U4 at a price of $3.90 each. The

produces 75,000 units of 14 per year but only plans to produce and sell
60,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is 412 per unit. Unit cost
information for the normal level activity is as follows:
Direct materials
Direct labor
$1.75
2.50
Variable overhead 1.50
Fixed overhead
Total
