Net Income
Reject Order Accept Order Increase (Decrease)
Revenues $ -0- $22,000 $22,000
Costs -0- 16,000 (16,000)
Net income $ -0- $ 6,000 $ 6,000
Net Income
Make Buy Increase (Decrease)
Direct materials $ 50,000 $ -0- $ 50,000
Direct labor 75,000 -0- 75,000
Variable manufacturing costs 40,000 -0- 40,000
Fixed manufacturing costs 60,000 50,000 10,000
Purchase price -0- 200,000 (200,000)
Total annual cost $225,000 $250,000 $ (25,000)
Net Income
Make Buy Increase (Decrease)
Total annual cost $225,000 $250,000 $(25,000)
Opportunity cost 28,000 -0- 28,000
Total cost $253,000 $250,000 $ 3,000
Decision Rule:
Process further as long as
the incremental revenue from
such processing exceeds the
incremental processing costs
INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS
Sell or Process Further
Single-Product Case
Cost to manufacture one unfinished table:
Direct materials $15
Direct labor 10
Variable manufacturing overhead 6
Fixed manufacturing overhead 4
Manufacturing cost per unit $35
Selling price of unfinished unit is $50
Unused capacity used to finish the tables to sell for $6
0 per table.
Relevant unit costs of finishing tables:
Direct materials increase $2
Direct labor increase $4
Variable manufacturing overhead costs increase by $2.4
0 (60 percent of direct labor increase)
Fixed manufacturing costs will not increase
INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS
Sell or Process Further
Single-Product Case (Continued)
Joint costs
all costs incurred prior to split-off point
allocate to individual products based on relative sales value
Sunk costs
already incurred and cannot be changed
irrelevant for sell or process
further decisions
Joint costs are sunk costs for sell or process further decisions.
INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS
Sell or Process Further
Multiple-Product Case
Example
Assessment of replacement of a factory machine:
Old Machine New Machine
Book value $40,000
Cost $120,000
Remaining useful life four years four years
Scrap value -0- -0-
Variable costs:
Decrease from $160,000
to $125,000 annually
INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS
Retain or Replace Equipment
Example (Continued)
Net Income
Retain Replace Increase (Decrease)
Variable manufacturing costs $640,000a $500,000b $140,000
New machine cost 120,000 (120,000)
Total $640,000 $620,000 $ 20,000
Decision:
Shift sales mix to standard sets or increa
se machine capacity
INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS
Allocate Limited Resources
Example (Continued)
To maximize net income, all 600 hours should be used to produce
standard sets.
INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS
Theory of Constraints
– Opportunity costs
– Incremental cost
– Sunk cost
– Marginal cost
Let’s Review
In a decision to retain or replace equipm
ent, the book value of the old equipment
is a (an):
– Opportunity costs
– Incremental cost
– Sunk cost
– Marginal cost
Summary of Study Objectives
Identify the steps in management’s decision-making process
.
Identify the problem and assign responsibility
Determine and evaluate courses of action
Make the decision
