Question - CostFollowing are independent assumptions: Jobs, Inc. has recently started the manufacture of Tri-Robo, a three-wheeled robot that can scan a home for fires and gas leaks and then transmit this information to a smartphone. The cost structure to manufacture 20,000 Tri-Robos is as follows:
Direct materials ($48 per robot) $960,000
Direct labor ($40 per robot) 800,000
Variable overhead ($6 per robot) 120,000
Allocated fixed overhead ($30 per robot) 600,000
Total $2,480,000
Jobs is approached by Tienh Inc., which offers to make Tri-Robo for $113 per unit or $2,260,000.
Assume that $405,000 of the fixed overhead cost can be avoided.
Using incremental analysis, determine whether Jobs should accept this offer.
Rihanna Company is considering purchasing new equipment for $584,800. It is expected that the equipment will produce net annual cash flows of $68,000 over its 10-year useful life. Annual depreciation will be $58,480. Compute the cash payback period.
