Division Y has asked Division X of the same company to supply it with 8,400 units of part L763 this year to use in one of its products. Division Y has received a bid from an outside supplier for the parts at a price of $50 per unit. Division X has the capacity to produce 33,600 units of part L763 per year. Division X expects to sell 30,240 units of part L763 to outside customers this year at a price of $54.40 per unit. To fill the order from Division Y, Division X would have to cut back its sales to outside customers. Division X produces part L763 at a variable cost of $42 per unit. The cost of packing and shipping the parts for outside customers is $2 per unit. These packing and shipping costs would not have to be incurred on sales of the parts to Division Y.

- Heer Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 160,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next three years, and you've decided to bid on the contract. It will cost you $840,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production and you estimate that it can be salvaged for $160,000 at the end of the three-year contract. Your fixed production costs will be $290,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $8.50 per carton. If you require a 12 percent return on your investment, what is the minimum bid price you should submit?arrow_forwardDivision Y has asked Division X of the same company to supply it with 9,000 units of part L763 this year to use in one of its products.

(Round your final answers…arrow_forwardGold Star Industries is contemplating a purchase of computers. The firm has narrowed its choices to the SAL 5000 and the HAL 1000. The company would need nine SALs, and each SAL costs $3,250 and requires $300 of maintenance each year. At the end of the computer’s eight-year life, each one could be sold for $195. Alternatively, the company could buy seven HALs. Each HAL costs $3,600 and requires $355 of maintenance every year. Each HAL lasts for six years and has a resale value of $140 at the end of its economic life. The company will continue to purchase the model that it chooses today into perpetuity, and the tax rate is 25 percent. Assume that the maintenance costs occur at year-end. Depreciation is straight-line to zero. What is the EAC of each model if the appropriate discount rate is 12 percent? (Your answers should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)arrow_forward
- X-Cee-Ski Company recently expanded its manufacturing capacity, which will allow it to produce up to 21,000 pairs of cross-country skis of the mountaineering model or the touring model. The Sales Department assures management that it can sell between 9,000 and 14,000 pairs of either product this year. Because the models are very similar, X-Cee-Ski will produce only one of the two models. Fixed costs will total $320,000 if the mountaineering model is produced but will be only$220,000 if the touring model is produced. X-Cee-Ski is subject to a 40 percent income tax rate.Required: 1. If X-Cee-Ski Company desires an after-tax net income of $48,000, how many pairs of tour-ing model skis will the company have to sell? 2. Suppose that X-Cee-Ski Company decided to produce only one model of skis. What is the total sales revenue at which X-Cee-Ski Company would make the same profit or loss regard less of the ski model it decided to produce? 3. If the Sales Department could guarantee the annual…arrow_forwardMersey Chemicals manufactures polypropylene that it ships to its customers via tank car. Currently it plans to add two additional tank cars to its fleet four years from now. However, a proposed plant expansion will require Mersey's transport division to add these two additional tank cars in 1 years' time rather than in 4 years. The current cost of a tank car is $1.9 million, and this cost is expected to remain constant. Also, while tank cars will last indefinitely, they will be depreciated straight-line over a five-year life for tax purposes. Suppose Mersey's tax rate is 20%. When evaluating the proposed expansion, what incremental free cash flows should be included to account for the need to accelerate the purchase of the tank cars? Incremental FCF for year 0 is how much? (Round to two decimal places and outflows as negative values.)arrow_forwardWaterways mass-produces a special connector unit that it normally sells for $3.60. It sells approximately 31,700 of these units each year. The variable costs for each unit are $2.10. A company in Canada that has been unable to produce enough of a similar connector to meet customer demand would like to buy 16,500 of these units at $2.40 per unit. The production of these units is near full capacity at Waterways, so to accept the offer from the Canadian company would require temporarily adding another shift to its production line. To do this would increase variable manufacturing costs by $0.30 per unit. However, variable selling costs would be reduced by $0.20 a unit.An irrigation company has asked for a special order of 2,100 of the connectors. To meet this special order, Waterways would not need an additional shift, and the irrigation company is willing to pay $3.00 per unit.arrow_forward
- Planet Airways has been given a 5-year license to start a budget airline between Stardust and Sundown. This service requires two planes which cost $6.5 million each, payable in one year’s time. Each aircraft will make one daily return trip, allowing for 350 flyable days per year. The remaining days of the year will be used to service the planes. The capacity of each plane is 200 passengers and the price per ticket is $550 per return trip. The average passenger load is 80 percent. The carrier’s office building will cost $26 million. Half of this amount is payable now and the balance is to be paid in a year’s time. The aircrafts and the building can be depreciated, for tax purposes, at the rate of 10% per annum of the initial cost. At the end of five years, the salvage values of the planes and the building are $2.6 million per plane and $7.8 million respectively.The operational costs will be $16,000 per one way trip (per flying day) and $6,000 per non-flying day, for each plane.

The company wants to introduce a new portable camper to fill out its product line; it hopes to sell 20,619 of these campers per year at $20,526 each. An independent consultant has determined that if Winnebagel introduces the new campers, it should boost the sales of its existing motor homes by 7,988 units per year, and reduce the sales of its motor coaches by 504 units per year. What is the amount to use as the annual sales figure when evaluating this project?arrow_forward
