Nautical Creations is one of the largest producers of miniature ships in a bottle. An especially complex part of one of the ships needs special production equipment that is not useful for other products. The company purchased this equipment early in 2018 for $200,000. It's now January 1, 2020, and the manager of the Model Ships Division, Jeri Finley, is considering two alternatives. Alternative 1 Produce the complex part using the current equipment. The following are last year's average perunit manufacturing costs, when production was 7,400 ships: Direct materials Direct labor Variable overhead Fixed overhead The equipment will last for ve more years with zero disposal value at that time. It can be sold immediately for $35,000. The cost of the new equipment is $230,000 and will have a veyear useful life with an estimated disposal value at that time of $35,000. The sales representative selling the new equipment stated, "The new equipment will allow direct labor and variable overhead to be reduced by a total of $2.10 per unit." Finley thinks this estimate is accurate, but also knows that a higher quality of direct material will be necessary with the new equipment, costing $0.19 more per unit. In addition, xed overhead costs will increase by $2,500. Finley expects production to continue at 7,400 ships in each of the next five years.
