1.Lusk Corporation produces and sells 14,400 units of Product X each month. The selling price of Product X is $26 per unit, and variable expenses are $20 per unit. A study has been made concerning whether Product X should be discontinued. The study shows that $72,000 of the $101,000 in monthly fixed expenses charged to Product X would not be avoidable even if the product was discontinued. If Product X is discontinued, the monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company of eliminating this product should be:

The SP Corporation mat-res 40.000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials $10.50 Direct labor $ 0.50 Variable manufacturing overhead 3 3.05 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.00 ' An outside supplier recentigl.r began producing a comparable motor that couid be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to SP Corporation for this motor is $20.05. If SP Corporation decides not to make the motors. there would be no other use for the production facilities and none ofthe xed manufacturing overhead cost oould be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. The annual nancial advantage {disadvantage} for the co mpanv as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be: The management of Bonga Corporation is considering dropping product D74F.
