Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. As the Marketing Manager for Southeastern Corrugated, what would you do upon receiving the request for quotation from Coastal Products?

Your company operates a fleet of light trucks that are used to provide contract delivery services. As the engineering and technical manager, you are analyzing the purchase of 55 new trucks as an addition to the fleet. These trucks would be used for a new contract the sales staff is trying to obtain. If purchased, the trucks would cost $21,200 each; estimated use is 20,000 miles per year per truck; estimated operation and maintenance and other related expenses (year-zero dollars) are $0.45 per mile, which is forecasted to increase at the rate of 5% per year; and the trucks are MACRS (GDS) three-year property class assets. The analysis period is four years; t = 38%; MARR = 15% per year (after taxes; includes an inflation component); and the estimated MV at the end of four years (in year-zero dollars) is 35% of the purchase price of the vehicles. This estimate is expected to increase at the rate of 2% per year. Based on an after-tax, actual-dollar analysis, what is the annual revenue…
