ABC Beverage, LLC purchases its 355-ml cans in large bulk from Wald-China Can Corporation. The finish on the anodized aluminum surface is produced by mechanical finishing technologies called brushing or bead blasting. Engineers at Wald are switching to more efficient, faster, and cheaper machines to supply ABC. Use the estimates and MARR = 8% per year to select between the two alternatives. Brush alternative: P = $−400,000; n = 10 years; S = $50,000; nonlabor AOC = $−60,000 in year 1, decreasing by $5000 annually starting in year 2 Bead blasting alternative: P = $−400,000; n is large, assume permanent; no salvage; nonlabor AOC = $−70,000 per year

The current purchase price is $1,500 per unit. Efforts to standardize parts succeeded to the point that this same component can now be used in five different products. Annual component usage should increase from 150 to 750 units. Management wonders whether it is time to make the component in-house rather than to continue buying it from the supplier. Fixed costs would increase by about $40,000 per year for the new equipment and tooling needed. The cost of raw materials and variable overhead would be about $1,100 per unit, and labor costs would be $300 per unit produced. so What other considerations might be important?arrow_forward
