4.

Production cost per helmet = $151,300 [from 3.] 10,000 = $15.13.

5.

The Armstrong Helmet Company likely uses a process cost system.

Process costing is used when large volumes of a homogenous product are
produced on a continuous basis. Armstrong Helmet Company would find
it useful, using a process costing system, to identify the cost of each
production batch of bicycle helmets.

6.

If Armstrong Helmet Company decides to produce additional helmets

(e.g., baseball, hockey, football, etc., or different models of bicycle
helmets), it may find it useful to move to a job order costing system.

12,000 X $100 X 5 years = $6,000,000.

$6,000,000 X 110% = $6,600,000.
$6,000,000 X (100% 25%) = $4,500,000.
$6,600,000 X (100% 30%) = $4,620,000.
$140,000 + $4,000 + $6,000 = $150,000.

Note: To be provided in Memo format with supporting evidence!

The new machine should be purchased. The incremental analysis shows that net
income will increase from $100,000 to $275,000 over the five years with the new
machine.
