Question 4: Tullius Corporation has received a request for a special order of 8,000 units of product C64 for $50.00 each.

The normal selling price of this product is $53.25 each, but the units would need to be modified slightly for the customer. The normal unit product cost of product C64 is computed as follows:

Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs.

The customer would like some modifications made to product C64 that would increase the variable costs by $5.00 per unit and that would require a one-time investment of $43,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales.

The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order.

Question 5:

Hinck Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a new machine for $520,000 that would have an 8 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $134,000 per year in cash operating costs. The company's current equipment would be sold for scrap now, yielding $22,000. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $65,000.

Required: What is the simple rate of return on the investment to the nearest tenth of a percent?
