Flemming corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools--machining, order filling, and other. the costs in those activity cost pools appear below: machining $ 20,900 order filling $ 22,900 other $ 29,200 machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (mhs) and order filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. the costs in the other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. activity data appear below: mhs (machining) orders (order filling) product u6 9,600 600 product z8 400 400 finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with machining and order filling costs to determine product margins. product u6 product z8 sales (total) $ 185,100 $ 178,100 direct materials (total) $ 56,600 $ 98,600 direct labor (total) $ 83,400 $ 63,700 what is the product margin for product u6 under activity-based costing

Shrieves casting company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by sidney johnson, a recently graduated mba. the production line would be set up in unused space in the main plant. the machinery’s invoice price would be approximately $200,000, another $10,000 in shipping charges would be required, and it would cost an additional $30,000 to install the equipment. the machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and shrieves has obtained a special tax ruling that places the equipment in the macrs 3-year class. the machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $25,000 after 4 years of use. the new line would generate incremental sales of 1,250 units per year for 4 years at an incremental cost of $100 per unit in the first year, excluding depreciation. each unit can be sold for $200 in the first year. the sales price and cost are both expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working capital would have to increase by an amount equal to 12% of sales revenues. the firm’s tax rate is 40%, and its overall weighted average cost of capital, which is the risk-adjusted cost of capital for an average project (r), is 10%. define “incremental cash flow.” (1) should you subtract interest expense or dividends when calculating project cash flow?
