McFriendly Software recently developed new spreadsheet software, Easy-Calc, which it intends to market by mail through ads in computer magazines. Just prior to introducing Easy-Calc, McFriendly receives an unexpected offer from Jupiter Computer to buy all rights to the software for $10 million cash.
Instructions
a. Is the $10 million offer “relevant” financial information?
b. Describe McFriendly’s opportunity cost if it (1) accepts Jupiter’s offer and (2) turns down the offer and markets Easy-Calc itself. Would these opportunity costs be recorded in McFriend- ly’s accounting records? If so, explain the journal entry to record these costs.
c. Briefly describe the extent to which the dollar amounts of the two opportunity costs described in part b are known to management at the time the decision is made to accept or reject Jupi- ter’s offer.
d. Might there be any other opportunity costs to consider at the time of making this decision? If so, explain briefly.
