Part s00 is used in one of morsey corporation's products. the company makes 6,000 units of this part each year. the company's accounting department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: per unit direct materials $1.40 direct labor $2.40 variable manufacturing overhead $7.20 supervisor's salary $3.60 depreciation of special equipment $8.90 allocated general overhead $4.50 an outside supplier has offered to produce this part and sell it to the company for $16.10 each. if this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. the special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. the allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. if the outside supplier's offer were accepted, only $6,000 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided. if management decides to buy part s00 from the outside supplier rather than to continue making the part, what would be the annual impact on the company's overall net operating income?

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?

Alarge university wanted to study the relationship between completing an internship during college and students' future earning potential. prom the same graduating class, they selected a random sample of 80 students who completed an internship and 100 students who did not complete an internship and examined their salaries five years after graduation. they found that there was a statistically higher mean salary for the internship group than for the noninternship group. which of the following interpretations is the most appropriate? a. there could be a confounding variable, such as student major, that explains the difference in mean salary between the internship and no internship groups. b. we cannot infer anything from these data since the distribution of salaries is likely right skewed. c. you cannot draw any valid conclusions because the sample sizes are different. d. more students should complete internships because having an internship produces a higher salary.
