Question 21 of 32
Management of Lubowitz Co is considering whether to purchase a new model 370 machine costing $489,000 or a new model 170 machine costing $436,400 to replace a
machine that was purchased 6 years ago for $399,800. The old machine was used to make toilet flanges until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine
cannot be repaired.
Management has decided to buy the new model 170 machine. It has less capacity than the new model 370 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making toilet
flanges.
Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply stopping making toilet flanges. If that were done, instead of investing $436,400 in the new machine, the
money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $434,800.
In making the decision to buy the model 170 machine rather than the model 370 machine, the sunk cost was:
$436,400
$399,800
$434,800
None of the above
