Question:
Use following information for options #1 and #2 (they are independent of one another)
Han Company sells Product X for $20 per unit.
Variable costs to make are $10 per unit and to sell the product are $2 per unit.
Fixed costs are $5 per unit at a normal volume of 400,000 units per year.
Sales volume recently has been equal to normal volume and is expected to continue at that level.
Current net income: $1,200,000
Evaluate the profitability of the two different alternative courses of action open to management. Compare each with the present situation. Show change in net income of each one.
Option 1:
Han can increase the quality of the product by spending $1 more on the material in each unit. This will require a new piece of equipment that costs $200,000 and will last one year and be discarded with no salvage value. They expect sales in units would increase 20%. Compute change in net income.
Option 2:
Han can spend $1,000,000 more on advertising and raise their price by $2 per unit. They expect to sell 50,000 more units. Compute change in net income.
