Question 3

Dominik Corporation purchased a machine 5 years ago for $527,000 when it launched product M08Y. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model 310 machine costing $545,000 or by a new model 240 machine costing $450,000. Management has decided to buy the model 240 machine. It has less capacity than the model 310 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product M08Y. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product M08Y and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $450,000 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $532,000.

GALAXY TOYS INTERNAL MEMO
Sept 15
To:
 Harry Wilson,Controller
Fm:
 Gary Resnick,Executive Vice President
As you know,we won't start recording many sales until October when stores start accepting shipments from us for the Christmas season.Meanwhile,we are producing flat-out and are building up our finished goods inventories so that we will be ready to ship next month.
Unfortunately,we are in a bind right now since it looks like the net income for the quarter ending on Sept 30 is going to be pretty awful.This may get us in trouble with the bank since they always review the quarterly financial reports and may call in our loan if they don't like what they see.Is there any possibility that we could change the classification of some of our period costs to product costs--such as the rent on the finished goods warehouse?
Please let me know as soon as possible.The President is pushing for results.
Mary didn't know what to do about the memo.It wasn't intended for her,but its contents were alarming.
Required:
