Assume that a company is considering purchasing a new piece of equipment for $240,000 that would have a useful life of '10 years and a salvage value of $24,000. The new equipment would cost $20,000 per year to operate and it would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $64,000 per year to operate. The old equipment currently being used could be sold for a salvage value of $40,000. The payback period for the new equipment is closest to: Multiple Choice O 5.4 years. O 4.5 years. O 10.4 years. O 4.9 years.Assume a company is considering using available space to make 10,000 units of a component part that it has been buying from a supplier for a price of $41.25 per unit. The company's accounting system estimates the following costs of making the part: 10,000 Units Per Unit per Year Direct materials $ 19 $190 , 000 Direct labor 12 120, 000 Variable manufacturing overhead 2 20, 000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 8 80, 000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 40, 000 Total cost $47 $450, 000 One-half of the traceable fixed manufacturing overhead relates to a supervisor that would have to be hired to oversee production of the part. The remainder of the traceable fixed manufacturing overhead relates to depreciation of equipment that the company already owns. This equipment has 20,000 units of unused capacity, no resale value, and it does wear out through use. The allocated fixed manufacturing overhead relates to general overhead costs, such as the plant manager's salary, lighting, heating and cooling costs, and plant insurance costs. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of making 10,000 units instead of buying them from the supplier?Multiple Choice O $20,000 O $(20,000) O $42,500 O $(42,500)
