6. |
Variable costs may not change under alternative courses of action, while fixed costs may change. |
|

When deciding whether to accept an order at a special price, management should make its decision on the basis of the total cost per unit and the expected revenue. |
|
8. |
If a company is operating at full capacity, the incremental costs of a special order will likely include fixed manufacturing costs. |
|
9. |
An example of an incremental analysis decision is make or buy. |

The basic decision rule in a sell or process further decision is: sell without further processing as long as the incremental revenue from processing exceeds the incremental processing costs. |
|
12. |

|
13. |
An important factor to be considered in a retain or replace equipment decision is the book value of the old equipment. |

The cash payback technique identifies the time period required to recover the cost of the capital investment from the net annual cash inflow produced by the investment. |
|
21. |
The most informative and best conceptual approach to capital budgeting is the discounted cash flow technique. |
|
22. |
The discounted cash flow technique considers estimated total cash inflows from the investment but not the time value of money. |

23. |
Under the net present value method, a proposal is acceptable only when there is a positive net present value. |
|
24. |

|
25. |
Under the internal rate of return method, the project is rejected when the internal rate of return is less than the required rate. |
