Special People
Industries (SPI) is a nonprofit organization that employs only
people with physical or mental disabilities. One of the
organization’s activities is to make cookies for its snack food
store. Several years ago, Special People Industries purchased a
special cookie-cutting machine. As of December 31, 20x0, this
machine will have been used for three years. Management is
considering the purchase of a newer, more efficient machine. If
purchased, the new machine would be acquired on December 31, 20x0.
Management expects to sell 300,000 dozen cookies in each of the
next six years. The selling price of the cookies is expected to
average $1.15 per dozen.
Special People Industries has two options: continue to operate the
old machine or sell the old machine and purchase the new machine.
No trade-in was offered by the seller of the new machine. The
following information has been assembled to help management decide
which option is more desirable.
