21. Lattimer Company had the following results of operations for the past year:

Variable manufacturing costs	$105,000
Fixed manufacturing costs	28,500
Selling and administrative expenses (all fixed)	43,500	(177,000)
Operating income		$10,500

A foreign company whose sales will not affect Lattimer's market offers to buy 6,000 units at $8.50 per unit. In addition to existing costs, selling these units would add a $0.35 selling cost for export fees. If Lattimer accepts this additional business, the special order will yield a:

$9,000 profit.
$2,400 loss.
$4,500 loss.
$6,900 profit.
$10,500 loss.

22. Bluebird Mfg. has received a special one-time order for 15,000 bird feeders at $3.10 per unit. Bluebird currently produces and sells 75,000 units at $7.10 each. This level represents 80% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $3.65 per unit, which includes $2.30 variable cost and $1.35 fixed cost. If Bluebird accepts this additional business, the effect on net income will be:
$46,500 increase.
$12,000 increase.
$34,500 increase.
$8,250 decrease.
$34,500 decrease.

23. Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $39,000 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $21,800. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $118,000 and receive $21,800 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $18,800 per year over the four-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is:

$21,000 increase
$75,200 decrease
$17,200 decrease
$51,300 increase
$21,000 decrease

24. Walters manufactures a specialty food product that can currently be sold for $22.50 per unit and has 20,500 units on hand. Alternatively, it can be further processed at a cost of $12,500 and converted into 12,500 units of Deluxe and 6,500 units of Super. The selling price of Deluxe and Super are $30.50 and $20.50, respectively. The incremental net income of processing further would be:

$53,250.
$40,750.
$18,500.
$44,500.
$12,500.

25. Paxton Company can produce a component of its product that incurs the following costs per unit: direct materials, $9.40; direct labor, $13.40, variable overhead $2.40 and fixed overhead, $7.40.

26. Granfield Company is considering eliminating its backpack division, which reported an operating loss for the recent year of $42,800. The division sales for the year were $975,200 and the variable costs were $483,000. The fixed costs of the division were $535,000. If the backpack division is dropped, 40% of the fixed costs allocated to that division could be eliminated. The impact on Granfield's operating income for eliminating this business segment would be:

$278,200 increase
$492,200 decrease
$214,000 increase
$278,200 decrease
$492,200 increase

27. Chang Industries has 3,000 defective units of product that have already cost $15.00 each to produce. A salvage company will purchase the defective units as they are for $6.00 each. Chang's production manager reports that the defects can be corrected for $5.00 per unit, enabling them to be sold at their regular market price of $23.00. The incremental income or loss on reworking the units is:

$36,000 loss.
$36,000 income.
$15,000 loss.
$51,000 income.
$54,000 income.

28. Factor Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs:

Direct material	$8.60
Direct labor	24.60
Overhead	43.00
Total costs per unit	$76.20

An outside supplier offers to provide Factor with all the units it needs at $48.40 per unit. If Factor buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 60% of its overhead. Factor should choose to:

Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $59.00.
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $50.40.
Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $50.40.
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $33.20.
Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $33.20.

29. Maxim manufactures a cat food product called Green Health. Maxim currently has 10,000 bags of Green Health on hand. The variable production costs per bag are $2.40 and total fixed costs are $10,000. The cat food can be sold as it is for $9.65 per bag or be processed further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe at an additional $2,600 cost. The additional processing will yield 10,000 bags of Premium Green and 3,600 bags of Green Deluxe, which can be sold for $8.65 and $6.65 per bag, respectively. If Green Health is processed further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe, the total gross profit would be:
$107,840.
$73,840.
$113,040.
$83,840.
$110,440.

30. Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,200 light fixtures (units) at $18 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 6,000 units at $19.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $24.00 per unit, which includes $16.00 variable cost and $8.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $800 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. If Minor wishes to earn $1,600 on the special order, the size of the order would need to be:
67 units.
1,200 units.
1,125 units.
4,800 units.
2,400 units.

31. B2B Co. is considering the purchase of equipment that would allow the company to add a new product to its line. The equipment is expected to cost $382,400 with a 6-year life and no salvage value. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis.The company expects to sell 152,960 units of the equipment's product each year. The expected annual income related to this equipment follows. If at least an 9% return on this investment must be earned, compute the net present value. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Most Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two new projects. Project Y requires a $310,000 investment for new machinery with a six-year life and no salvage value. Project Z requires a $310,000 investment for new machinery with a five-year life and no salvage value. The two projects yield the following predicted annual results. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and cash flows occur evenly throughout each year. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

	Project Y					Project Z
Sales		$	385,000				$	308,000
