ID LAST Name Printed: FIRST Name An INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS of the DoIt 4 case [of Ch 6, p238]. Rexfield Corp., a company specializing in crime scene investigations, is contemplating an investment in automated mass-spectrometers. Its current process re- lies on a high number of lab technicians. The new equipment would employ a computerized expert system, costing $800,000 fixed payment per year while reducing the variable cost by $800,000, if decided to be used for the next three years when the sales revenue is expected be $2,000,000. The company's CEO has requested a comparison of the old technology versus the new technology. The accounting department has prepared the following CVP income statements for use in your analysis.
