The corn dogs are dipped by hand. Austin Beagle, production manager, is considering purchasing a machine that will make the corn dogs. Austin has shopped for machines and found that the machine he wants will cost $215,000. In addition, Austin estimates that the new machine will increase the company’s annual net cash inflows by $33,000. The machine will have a 12-year useful life and no salvage value.Instructions(a) Calculate the cash payback period.(b) Calculate the machine’s internal rate of return.(c) Calculate the machine’s net present value using a discount rate of 10%.(d) Assuming Corn Doggy, Inc.’s cost of capital is 10%, is the investment acceptable? Why or why not?23.Flagstaff, Inc. uses standard costing for its one product, baseball bats. The standards call for 3 board-feet of wood at $1.40 per board-foot, and 45 minutes of work at $12 per hour per bat. Total manufacturing overhead costs were estimated at $9,450, of which the variable portion was $0.50 per bat and the fixed portion was $1.00 per bat with an estimate of 6,300 bats to be produced. Flagstaff identifies price variances at the earliest possible point in time.During March, the company had the following results:Direct labor used = 4,800 hours at a cost of $56,400Actual manufacturing overhead fixed costs = $6,000Actual manufacturing overhead variable costs = $3,100Bats produced = 6,000InstructionsCompute the following variances for March.1. Labor quantity variance2. Total labor variancea3. Overhead controllable variancea4. Overhead volume variance24. Riggins, Inc. manufactures one product called tybos.
