Required:
1. Assuming that the company has no alternative use for the facilities now being used to produce the thermostat, should the outside suppliers' offer be accepted? Show all computations.
2. Suppose that if the thermostats were purchased, Climate-Control, Inc., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $65,000 per year. Should Climate-Control, Inc., accept the offer to buy the thermostats from the outside supplier for $20 cash each? Show computations.
