Problem 1 Bisha Corporation is considering trading a truck with a book value of SAR 52,000 with an estimated five-year life for a new truck that would cost SAR 80,000. The old truck could be sold for SAR 55,000. The new truck has a five-year life with no residual value. The new truck would reduce annual operating costs by SAR 4,300 per year. Prepare a differential analysis on whether to continue with the old machine (Alternative 1) or purchase the new machine (Alternative 2). Problem 2 A condensed income statement by product line for Yanbu Baking Inc. indicated the following for Almond Cookies for the past year: Sales SAR 1,200,000 Cost of goods sold 700,000 Gross profit 500,000 Operating expenses 570,000 Loss from operations |(SAR 70,000) It is estimated that 20% of the cost of goods sold represents fixed factory overhead costs, and that 25% of the operating expenses are fixed. Because Almond Cookies is only one of the many products, the fixed costs will not be materially affected if the product is discontinued. Prepare a differential analysis to determine whether Almond Cookies should be continued (Alternative 1) or discontinued (Alternative 2). Should Almond Cookies be retained? Explain and indicate the dollar difference in favor or against. Problem 3 Asbtar Company manufactures various-sized plastic bottles for its medicinal product.
