Svahn, AB, is a Swedish manufacturer of sailing yachts. The company has assembled the information shown below that pertains to two independent decision-making contexts.

Case A: The company chronically has no idle capacity and the old Model B100 machine is the companys constraint. Management is considering purchasing a Model B300 machine to use in addition to the companys present Model B100 machine. The old Model B100 machine will continue to be used to capacity as before, with the new Model B300 machine being used to expand production. This will increase the companys production and sales. The increase in volume will be large enough to require increases in fixed selling expenses and in general administrative overhead, but not in the fixed manufacturing overhead.

Case B:The old Model B100 machine is not the companys constraint, but management is considering replacing it with a new Model B300 machine because of the potential savings in direct materials with the new machine. The Model B100 machine would be sold. This change will have no effect on production or sales, other than some savings in direct materials costs due to less waste.

Required:

Based on the information provided above indicate in the appropriate column whether each item is relevant or irrelevant to the decision context described in Case A and Case B.

Kindly add a "reason for case b", follow the format or pattern for Case A. Thank you
