Part 1: If bowls are discontinued

Question 1: What will happen to the Pre-tax profit if Bowls are discontinued?

Part 2: If bowls are outsourced

McVay Industries (MI) is looking for ways to improve profitability and are considering outsourcing production of bowls. If the bowls are outsourced, fixed manufacturing overhead costs of $366,500 to lease machinery related to bowls production (direct FMOH) could be eliminated. Assume that direct fixed SG&A expenses relate directly to the bowls line and could be completely eliminated if the bowls product line is dropped. Additionally, if the bowls are outsourced, the company would have excess capacity and could produce and sell additional 20,000 scoops (for the same selling price of $4 per scoop), and additional 10,000 shake makers (for the same selling price of $25 per shake maker). Excess capacity means no additional fixed costs will be required.

Question 2: What is the maximum amount MI should pay for the bowl from an independent supplier (price per unit) to be no worse off financially? Show your work. Round your answer to two decimals.
