Inventories, accounts payable, and accounts receivable are all expected to increase (as noted) to support the heightened activity. The press is expected to be sold after three years for the given salvage value. The tax rate and appropriate discount rate are noted. Find the NPV of this project and indicate if the press should be purchased. A Gross Sales A Variable cost $2,727,000|A Inventory $3,848,222 $45,450 $54,540 A Accounts Payable $204,525 Salvage Value $204,525 $1,150,853 Base Price modification $1,363,500 A Accounts Receivable Discount rate 12% Tax rate 30%

The Bremer Co. manufactures cordless telephones Bremer is planning to implement a JIT production system, which requires annual tooling costs of $150,000. Bremer estimates that the following annual benefits would arise from JIT production. a. Average inventory will decline by $700,000 from $900,000 to $200,00 b. Insurance, space, materials handling, and setup costs, which currently total $200,00 would decline by 30% c. The emphasis on quality inherent in JIT system would reduce rework costs by 20% Bremer currently incurs $350,000 on rework. d. Better quality would eneble Bremer to raise the prices of its products by $3 per unit. Bremer sells $30,000 unit each year. Bremer required rate of return on inventory investment is 12% per year Required: Calculate the net benefit or cost to the Bremer Corporation From implementing a JIT production system.
Ashley’s company is looking to add two new printers that will increase fixed costs by $75,000. The variable costs are $50 per order. The two new printers allow the business to increase their orders by 5000 annually. How many orders would have to be added to justify buying these new printers, vs not making any changes and continuing as they are? What other considerations might you consider in whether or not to make this purchase or not?
Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $240,000 to $270,000 and would decrease the current variable costs of $70 by $10 per unit. The selling price of $120 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $520,000 and current break-even units are 9,000. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised contribution margin ratio would be:
The Knot manufactures men’s neckwear at its Spartanburg plant. The Knot is considering implementing a JIT production system. The following are the estimated costs and benefits of JIT production: a. Annual additional tooling costs $250,000 annually. b. Average inventory would decline by 80% from the current level of $1,000,000. c. Insurance, space, materials-handling, and setup costs, which currently total $400,000 annually, would decline by 20%. d. The emphasis on quality inherent in JIT production would reduce rework costs by 25%. The Knot currently incurs $160,000 in annual rework costs. e. Improved product quality under JIT production would enable The Knot to raise the price of its product by $2 per unit. The Knot sells 100,000 units each year. The Knot’s required rate of return on inventory investment is 15% per year. Q. Suppose The Knot implements JIT production at its Spartanburg plant. Give examples of performance measures The Knot could use to evaluate and control JIT…
Markland Manufacturing manufactures desk lamps intends to increase capacity by obtaining new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The purchase cost for proposal A is $30,000, and for proposal B, $80,000. Each proposal will produce lamps of the same quality. Proposal A is expected to produce lamps at $15.00/lamp, while proposal B is significantly more efficient and will produce them at $10.00/lamp. The revenue generated by the sale of each lamp is $20.00/unit. A. What is the point of indifference?B. The manufacturer expects to sell 12,000 lamps and has informed the vendors that it has chosen proposal B. The vendor of proposal A has offered to re-negotiate the purchase price of its proposal in order to win the contract. What purchase price will cause the manufacturerto reconsider its decision?
A distributor of fasteners is opening a new plant and considering whether to use a mechanized process or a manual process to package the product. The manual process will have a fixed cost of $36,234 and a variable cost of $2.14 per bag. The mechanized process would have a fixed cost of $84,420 and a variable cost of $1.85 per bag. The company expects to sell each bag of fasteners for $2.75. a) What is the break-even point for the manual process (in units)? b) What is the break-even point for the mechanized process (in units)? c) A point of indifference for two processes is quantity at which each process generates the same amount of profit (review video). What is the point of indifference for the two processes? (Hint: 1) Use equations to set profit of manual process equal to mechanized process and solve for quantity; 2) (Excel) If you have a break-even for each process - have only one cell that represents quantity that be used to calculates costs/revenues for each process and use Goal…
A distribution company is considering three different alternatives to satisfy their customer's demands. Their options are to rent a ready distribution center (D01), Rent and mobilize a center (D02), or outsourcing (OS). The estimate for each method is shown.

Hair Zone manufactures a brand of hair-styling gel. It is considering adding a modified version of the product – a foam that provides stronger hold. Hair Zone’s variable costs and prices to wholesalers are: Hair Zone expects to sell 1 million units of the new styling foam in the first year after introduction, but it expects that 60 per cent of those sales will come from buyers whonormally purchase Hair Zone’s styling gel. Hair Zone estimates that it would sell 1.5 million units of the gel if it did not introduce the foam. If the fixed cost of launching the new foam will be €100,000 during the first year, should Hair Zone add the new product to its line? Why or why not?

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,030,000, and it would cost another $25,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $473,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $18,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $396,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%. (Ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method.) Cash outflows, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
