What is the net effect on appraisal costs for 20x6


Metropolitan Manufacturing expects to spend $400,000 in 20X6 in appraisal costs if it does not change its incoming materials inspection method. If it decides to implement a new receiving method, it will save $40,000 in fixed appraisal costs and variable costs of $0.40 per unit of finished product. The new method involves $60,000 in training costs and an additional $160,000 in annual equipment rental. It takes two units of material for each finished product.

Internal failure costs average $80 per failed unit of finished goods. During 20X5, 5% of all completed items had to be reworked. External failure costs average $200 per failed unit. The company's average external failures are 1% of units sold. The company carries no ending inventories, because all jobs are on a per order basis and a just-in-time inventory ordering method is used.


What is the net effect on appraisal costs for 20X6, assuming the new receiving method is implemented and that 800,000 material units are received?
