LaCrosse Products has a budget of $907,000 in 2017 for prevention costs. If it decides to automate a portion of its prevention activities, it will save $80,700 in variable costs. The new method will require $40,200 in training costs and $102,000 in annual equipment costs. Management is willing to adjust the budget for an amount up to the cost of the new equipment. The budgeted production level is 155,000 units.
Appraisal costs for the year are budgeted at $600,000. The new prevention procedures will save appraisal costs of $50,000. Internal failure costs average $15 per failed unit of finished goods. The internal failure rate is expected to be 2% 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 failures average 2% of units sold. The new proposal will reduce this rate by 45%. Assume all units produced are sold and there are no ending inventories.
How much will internal failure costs change if the internal product failures are reduced by 1/3 with the new procedures? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
