When you have a question that may be answered as a percentage, answer it instead as a decimal.

Introduction

1. Your answer should show at least the first 3 rounded non-zero digits followed by zeros.
A)  For Example:  If the answer is 278,915, the first 3 rounded non-zero digits is 279 and an answer of 279,000 is acceptable. An answer of 278,915 is also acceptable.
B)  Another Example: Suppose the answer is 0.08297, then an answer of 0.083 is acceptable.  0.0830 and 0.08297 are also acceptable.

2. Do not use currency signs. Suppose the answer is $40.42, then you should answer 40.4 or 40.42.
 
3.  Do not use (…) to show negative quantities. If the answer is –0.5192, then do not answer (0.519), rather answer –0.519 or –0.5192.
 
4. When you have a question that may be answered as a percentage, answer it instead as a decimal. For example, if the answer for a rate of return is 10.5%, then enter the answer as 0.105 instead of 10.5 or 10.5%.  Basically answer the question as the actual number instead of answering it as a percentage.

Question 5 Unsaved

Howell Corporation produces an executive jet for which it currently manufactures a fuel valve; the cost of the valve is indicated below:

 
  Cost per Unit
Variable costs  
Direct material $900
Direct labor 600
Variable overhead 300
   
   
Fixed costs  
Depreciation of equipment 500
Depreciation of building 300
Supervisory salaries 300
   
   

The company has an offer from Duvall Valves to produce the part for $2,000 per unit and supply 1,000 valves (the number needed in the coming year). If the company accepts this offer and shuts down production of valves, production workers and supervisors will be reassigned to other areas. The equipment cannot be used elsewhere in the company, and it has no market value. However, the space occupied by the production of the valve can be used by another production group that is currently leasing space for $55,000 per year.

What is the incremental savings of buying the valves? (The answer should be stated in a per-unit format and is a positive number)
