Q

differential approach
vs
total cost approach

A

-only relevant costs are considered
vs
- All the revenue and costs are displayed on the income statement, then the difference in NOI between two alternatives is compared.

16
Q

drop or retain a segment decision rule

A

drop segment if its avoidable fixed costs exceed its CM

17
Q

vertically integrated

A

when company is involved in more than one activity in the value chain

18
Q

make or buy decision

A

alternative that has the greater net incremental revenue over incremental costs

19
Q

Accept a special order decision

A

accept a special order if its incremental revenue exceeds the incremental expense of producing it
*assume fixed costs are unaffected by the order and that variable marketing costs must be incurred on special order.

20
Q

utilization of constrained resources

A

given a bottleneck, emphasize the products w/ the greatest CM per unit of contained resource.

21
Q

contraint

bottleneck

A

anything that prevents an organization from satisfying demand.
when a constraint resource is a machine or work center

22
Q

joint product

A

continue to process a joint product after the split-off point if the incremental revenue after further processing exceeds the incremental costs of more processing.

23
Q

Capital budgeting decisions:
screening decision-
preference decision-

A

does project meet or exceed hurdle rate

for projects that do meet/exceed hurdle rate, which one is best

24
Q

considers time value of money:

does not consider time value of money:

A
  • NPV, IRR, Profitability index

- payback period, accounting rate of return

25
Q

Net present value (NPV)

A

pv of cash inflows - pv of cash outflows

26
Q

profitability index

A

NPV / investment

*higher the index, the more desirable the project

27
Q

least cost decision

A

choose the investment with the lowest NPV

28
Q 
IRR factor (internal rate of return)
*rate of return promised by an investment project over its useful life
A

investment / net annual cash flow

  • accept proposal if the IRR is greater than the minimum required rate of return
  • greater IRR factor = less return annually
29
Q

payback period

*ignores the time value of cash flows

A

investment required / net annual cash inflow

30
Q

simple rate of return
*ignores time value of cash flows

*Numerator: cash inflow - outflow - depreciation

A

annual incremental net operating income / initial investment

***reduce initial investment by any salvage value from the sale of the old equipment and then divide by years to get DEPRECIATION

31
Q

how to get depreciation

how to get salvage value

A
  • initial investment - salvage / life of investment

- initial investment / useful life

32
Q

After-Tax Cost of any tax-deductible cash expense

net cash outflow

A

After - Tax Cost = (1 - tax rate) * tax-deductible cash expense

33
Q

Depreciation acts as a tax shield by doing what

A

reducing net income, so less income is taxed trigging a savings

34
Q

tax shield =

A

tax * deductible expense

35
Q

w/ tax

w/o tx

A
  • use depreciation (inflow)

- don’t use depreciation
