Concept explainers
Karen’s Quilts is considering the purchase of a new Long-arm Quilt Machine that will cost $17,500 and will increase her fixed costs by $119. What would happen if she purchased the new quilt machine to realize the variable cost savings of $5.00 per quilt, and what would happen if she raised her price by just $5.00? She feels confident that such a small price increase will not decrease the sales in units that will help her offset the increase in fixed costs. Given the following current prices how would the break-even in units and dollars change? Complete the monthly contribution margin income statement for each of these cases.

If they buy the new truck, they will sell the old truck to a used truck dealer for $4,000. Based on the information given, what is the immediate total incremental cost or benefit of buying the new truck? (Indicate a net benefit as a positive number and a net cost as a negative number.)arrow_forwardAshley’s company is looking to add two new printers that will increase fixed costs by $75,000. The variable costs are $50 per order. The two new printers allow the business to increase their orders by 5000 annually.

What other considerations might you consider in whether or not to make this purchase or not?arrow_forwardIngrid is planning to expand her business by taking on a new product that costs $7.56.

She would need to lease equipment, at a cost of $66 per month. To process the pictures, she estimates that she would have supplies expenses of $4 per picture. Xia-Ming estimates that she can sell 60 pictures per month. (a) What price should she charge to break even? (b) Compute the break-even point in sales dollars. The picture frames should be sold for $ to break even. (Round to the nearest cent as needed. Round all intermediate values to six decimal places as needed.)

It is considering purchasing a machine instead, and is comparing two options: Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $150,000. This machine will require $20,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $250,000. This machine will require $15,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $10,000 per year. Also, $35,000 will be spent upfront in training the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 8% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the rental of the machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The marginal corporate tax rate is 35%. Should Beryl’s Iced…arrow_forward
