Required:
Â
1.      Assuming that the company has no alternative use for the facilities now being used to produce the thermostat, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted? Show all computations.
Â
2.      Suppose that if the thermostats were purchased, Climate-Control, Inc., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $65,000 per year. Should Climate-Control, Inc., accept the offer to buy the thermostats from the out- side supplier for $20 each? Show computations.
