Part 5
Analysis: The net present value using MACRS depreciation is greater than the
net present value using straight-line depreciation because the cash flows are
larger in the earlier years of the asset’s life under MACRS depreciation. They
are larger because the depreciation deductions are larger, resulting in less
income taxes paid in the earlier years.

Sales Mix Recommendation with Second Shift If the second shift is added,
the maximum possible output of R will double:
However, this level of output exceeds the company’s market constraint of

The output of Product T with 132 production hours is

From T................................................................. 132 35 4,620
Less extra shift costs......................................... (3,250)
Total contribution margin................................... $23,370
Management decision This amount of $23,370 exceeds the contribution
margin of $17,600 generated by one shift alone (see part 2). Therefore,
management should add the second shift.

Problem 25-5B (Continued)
Part 4
Sales Mix Recommendation By incurring additional marketing cost, the
company can relax the market constraint for sales of Product R up to the
point where 675 units can be sold. This means the company can produce
675 units of Product R, and commit the remainder of its productive
capacity to Product T. These computations are:
Units of Product R........................................................... = 675 units per month
The output of Product T with 82 production hours is
Contribution Margin with This Sales Mix
Units Contr./unit Total
From R................................................................. 675 $40 $27,000
Management decision This amount of $22,120 is less than the contribution
margin of $23,370 generated under the existing market constraint (see part
3). Therefore, management should not undertake this marketing strategy.
