Walter Farms has already spent $11,200 to harvest vegetables. The vegetables can be sold as is for $201,600. Instead, the company could incur further processing costs of $107,520 and process the vegetables into salsa. The resulting salsa can be sold for $282,240. The incremental income to sell the vegetables ‘as is’ is
Graham Corporation has 1,000 cartons of oranges that were harvested at a cost of $30,000. The oranges can be sold as is for $35,760.

Chauhan Restaurant is considering the purchase of a soufflé maker that costs $10,100. The soufflé maker has an economic life of 6 years and will be fully depreciated by the straight-line method. The machine will produce 1,700 soufflés per year, with each costing $2.80 to make and priced at $4.75. The discount rate is 12 percent and the tax rate is 25 percent. What is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

A salad oil bottling plant can either buy caps for the glass bottles at 5 cents each or install $500,000 worth of plastic molding equipment and manufacture the caps at the plant. The manufacturing engineer estimates the material, labor, and other costs would be 3 cents per cap. (a) If 11 million caps per year are needed and the molding equipment is installed, what is the payback period? (b) The plastic molding equipment would be depreciated by straightline depreciation using a 6-year useful life and no salvage value. Assuming a combined 26% income tax rate, what is the after-tax payback period, and what is the after-tax rate of return?

A component manufacturer currently produces 200,000 units a year. It buys component lids from an outside supplier at a price of $2 a lid. The plant manager believes that it would be cheaper to make these lids rather than buy them. Direct production costs are estimated to be only $1.50 a lid. The necessary machinery would cost $150,000 and would last 10 years. This investment could be written o§ immediately for tax purposes. The plant manager estimates that the operation would require additional working capital of $30,000 but argues that this sum can be ignored since it is recoverable at the end of the 10 years. If the company pays tax at a rate of 21% and the opportunity cost of capital is 15%, would you support the plant managerís proposal? State clearly any additional assumptions that you need to make.
Maple Inc. manufactures a product that costs $25 per unit plus $43,000 in fixed costs each month. Maple currently sells 6,000 of these units per month for $47 each. If Maple leased a machine for $12,000 a month, it could add features to the product that would allow it to sell for $53 each. It would cost an additional $9 per unit to add these features. How much would Maple's profit be affected if it leased the machine and added features to its product? Multiple Choice Increase $252,000 Decrease $252,000 Increase $6,000 Decrease $30,000

Kerrigan Lumber Yard receives 12,000 large trees each year that they process into rough logs. Currently, Kerrigan sells the rough logs for $75 each. Kerrigan is considering processing the logs further into refined lumber. Each log can be processed into 200 feet of refined lumber at an additional cost of $0.40 per foot. The refined lumber can be sold for $0.95 per foot. Assume that the cost of getting the 12,000 large trees falls by half. Should Kerrigan sell the rough logs at split-off or process it further? Process further, the reduction in the cost of trees makes that option more profitable than it was before. Sell at split-off because the decrease in the cost of the trees makes that option more profitable than it was before. Sell at split-off, the reduction in the cost of the trees is irrelevant. Process further, the reduction in the cost of the trees will lower further processing costs. Process further because the reduction in the cost of the trees is irrelevant
