(TCO 11) Regal Products has a budget of $900,000 in 20X6 for
prevention costs. If it decides to automate a portion of its prevention
activities, it will save $60,000 in variable costs. The new method will require
$18,000 in training costs and $120,000 in annual equipment costs. Management
iswilling to adjust the budget for an amount up to the cost of the new
equipment. The budgeted production level is 150,000 units. Appraisal costs for
the year are budgeted at $600,000. The new prevention procedures will save
appraisal costs of $30,000. Internal failure costs average $15 per failed unit
of finished goods. The internal failure rate is expected to be 3%of all
completed items. The proposed changes will cut the internal failure rate by
one-third. Internal failure units are destroyed. External failure costs average
$54 per failed unit. The company’s average external failuresaverage 3% of units
sold. The new proposal will reduce this rate by 50%. Assume all units produced
