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 20,800 tri-robos is as follows. cost direct materials ($50 per robot) $1,040,000 direct labor ($40 per robot) 832,000 variable overhead ($6 per robot) 124,800 allocated fixed overhead ($29 per robot) 600,000 total $2,596,800. jobs is approached by tienh inc., which offers to make tri-robo for $104 per unit or $2,084,160.using incremental analysis, determine whether jobs should accept this offer under each of the following independent assumptions. assume that $260,520 of the fixed overhead cost can be reduced (avoided). based on the above assumptions, indicate whether the offer should be accepted or rejected?

Shrieves casting company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by sidney johnson, a recently graduated mba. the production line would be set up in unused space in the main plant. the machinery’s invoice price would be approximately $200,000, another $10,000 in shipping charges would be required, and it would cost an additional $30,000 to install the equipment. the machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and shrieves has obtained a special tax ruling that places the equipment in the macrs 3-year class. the machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $25,000 after 4 years of use. the new line would generate incremental sales of 1,250 units per year for 4 years at an incremental cost of $100 per unit in the first year, excluding depreciation. each unit can be sold for $200 in the first year. the sales price and cost are both expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working capital would have to increase by an amount equal to 12% of sales revenues. the firm’s tax rate is 40%, and its overall weighted average cost of capital, which is the risk-adjusted cost of capital for an average project (r), is 10%. define “incremental cash flow.” (1) should you subtract interest expense or dividends when calculating project cash flow?
