Svahn, AB, is a Swedish manufacturer of sailing yachts

Accounting Nov 22, 2020

Svahn, AB, is a Swedish manufacturer of sailing yachts. The company has assembled the information shown below that pertains to tw independent decision-making contexts. Case A The company chronically has no idle capacity and the old Model B100 machine is the company's constraint. Management is considering purchasing a Model 1300 machine to use in addition to the company's present Model B100 machine. The old Model B10 machine will continue to be used to capacity as before, with the new Model B300 machine being used to expand production. This wil increase the company's production and sales. The increase in volume will be large enough to require increases in fixed selling expenses and in general administrative overhead, but not in the fixed manufacturing overhead. Case B: The old Model B100 machine is not the company's constraint, but management is considering replacing it with a new Model 8300 machine because of the potential savings in direct materials with the new machine. The Model B100 machine would be sold. This change will have no effect on production or sales, other than some savings in direct materials costs due to less waste. Required: Based on the information provided above indicate in the appropriate column whether each item is relevant or irrelevant to the decis context described in Case A and Case B.

Relevants factors are those which are going to be affected (increase/decrese) due to the possible effects of the decision that we are about to make (Change in Revenues and expenses) or which would influence the decision that we are about to make (e.g. initial outlay or scrapping of machine). If any item does not satisfy that criteria then it is Not Relevant.
