Desired profit = Total assets 8. = Expected selling price Desired profit 9. Unit contribution margin per production bottleneck hour = Unit contribution margin/ Exercises 1. Charleston Affair currently has a piece of equipment that is no longer needed. The current book value of the piece of the equipment is $12,000. The company has the option to lease the equipment for the next three years for $5,500 each year, or sell the equipment for $16,000. If leased, the equipment would have no residual value at the end of the lease. The company expects that maintenance and other expenses during the lease would total $2,000. If sold, Charleston Affair would pay a 5% commission. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if the company should sell (Alternative 1) or lease (Alternative 2) the equipment. 2. Wake Coffee Co. has a piece of equipment no longer needed for production. The company purchased the equipment for $75,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $10,000 related to the equipment. Wake Coffee Co. has determined it can either lease the equipment for the next ten years, for yearly revenues of $9,000, or sell the equipment for $70,000. If leased, the company expects to incur repairs and other expenses of $22,000 over the life of the lease. The equipment would also have a $3,500 salvage value. If sold, the broker requires a 4% broker commission. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if the company should sell (Alternative 1) or lease (Alternative 2) the equipment.

3 Differential Analysis and Product Pricing 3 3. Blair Designs is considering two alternatives for an outdated piece of machinery: leasing the machinery for five years, which would produce revenue of $8,000 year or selling the machinery for $38,000. The asset has a current book value of $25,000. If leased, the company expects to incur $7,000 of expenses for maintenance and taxes, and the equipment will have a $4,000 salvage value. If sold, the broker charges a 5% commission fee. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if the company should sell (Alternative 1) or lease (Alternative 2) the machinery. 4. Product B at Charleston Affair generates sales of $59,000 for 10,000 units. Each unit has variable costs of $4.50 apiece and total fixed costs of $18,000. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if Product B should be continued (Alternative 1) or discontinued (Alternative 2) if the fixed costs are unaffected by the decision. 5. Wake Coffee Co. incurs a loss from operations for the Standard Coffee line. Sales revenues for the line total $72,000, while incurring variable costs of goods sold of $19,500, variable selling expenses of $17,400, and fixed costs of $49,000. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if the Standard Coffee line should be continued (Alternative 1) or discontinued (Alternative 2). Assume the company will incur the fixed costs regardless of the decision. 6. Product BW of Blair Designs generates sales revenue of $40,000. The product incurs variable costs of goods sold of $22,000, fixed selling costs of $22,000, and fixed factory overhead of $21,000. Use a differential analysis to determine if Product BW should be continued (Alternative 1) or discontinued (Alternative 2). Assume that the company will incur the fixed factory overhead regardless of the decision. 7. Charleston Affair currently makes the King Component, incurring variable costs of $18 per unit and fixed costs of $4 per unit. The company has the option to purchase the component for $20 per unit. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the King Component. Assume that the fixed costs will be incurred in each situation. 8. The Wake Coffee Co. currently produces the Sealable Coffee Bag and incurs the following costs per unit: direct materials, $2; direct labor, $3; variable factory overhead, $2.50; and fixed factory overhead, $3.50. The company also has the option to purchase the product for $9.50 per unit. The seller charges a $1.25 freight fee per unit. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if Wake Coffee Co. should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the product, assuming that the fixed costs will be incurred regardless of the decision.

4 4 Chapter Blair Designs currently produces a Subcomponent, incurring variable direct costs of $4.25 per unit, variable factory overhead of $2.25 per unit, and fixed factory overhead of $5.00 per unit. The company could also buy the Subcomponent for $7.50 from an outside provider, which would also charge a freight fee of $2.00 per unit. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if Blair Designs should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the Subcomponent, assuming that fixed factory overhead will be incurred if the product is made or sold. 10. Charleston Affair is considering replacing an outdated piece of machinery. Use the information below for the old piece of machinery and new machinery to prepare a differential analysis to determine if Charleston Affair should continue (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine.
