2) management of sourwine corporation is considering whether to purchase a new
model 320 machine costing $389,000 or a new model 280 machine costing $318,000 to
replace a machine that was purchased 6 years ago for $376,000. the old machine was
used to make product c78p until it broke down last week. unfortunately, the old
machine cannot be repaired.
management has decided to buy the new model 280 machine. it has less capacity than
the new model 320 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product
c78p.
management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product
c78p. if that were done, instead of investing $318,000 in the new machine, the money
could be invested in a project that would return a total of $405,000.
in making the decision to buy the model 280 machine rather than the model 320
machine, the differential cost was:
a.$58,000
b.$13,000
c.$29,000
d.$71,000
