The Hudson Corporation has 8,000 obsolete units of a product that are carried in inventory at a manufacturing cost of $160,000. If the units are remachined for $40,000, they could be sold for $72,000. Alternatively, the units could be sold for scrap for $28,000. Which alternative is more desirable and what are the total relevant costs for that alternative?   [removed]A) Remachine; $40,000.   [removed]B) Remachine; $200,000.   [removed]C) Scrap; $132,000.   [removed]D) Scrap; $160,000.     3
A study has been conducted to determine if one of the product lines of Kalamazoo Company should be discontinued. This product line generates a contribution margin of $300,000 per year. Fixed expenses allocated to the product line are $390,000 per year. It is estimated that $240,000 of these fixed expenses could be eliminated if the product line is discontinued. These data indicate that if the product line is discontinued, the company’s overall net operating income would:   [removed]A) decrease by $60,000 per year.   [removed]B) increase by $60,000 per year.   [removed]C) decrease by $150,000 per year.   [removed]D) increase by $150,000 per year.     4
Ferguson Company manufactures 4,000 parts per year; the parts are used in the assembly of one of the company’s products. The unit product cost of these parts is:

The part can be purchased from an outside supplier at $40 per unit. If the part is purchased from the outside supplier, two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing costs can be eliminated. The annual impact on the company’s net operating income as a result of buying the part from the outside supplier would be:   [removed]A) $8,000 increase.   [removed]B) $8,000 decrease.   [removed]C) $16,000 increase.   [removed]D) $16,000 decrease.     5
