Chrysler is considering a cost reduction program with its major suppliers wherein the suppliersmust reduce the cost of the components that they furnish to Chrysler by 5% each year. (The total amount of savings would increase each year.) The initial costs for setting up the program include the following: Chrysler is currently paying a total of $85,000,000 per year for components purchased from the vendors who will be involved in this program. (Assume that, if the program is not approved, the annual cost of purchased components will remain constant at $85,000,000 per year.) The program has been designed as a five-year initiative, and Chrysler’s MARR for such projects is 12% (im). There will be annual operating expenses associated with the program for further training of vendors, updating internal documentation, and so on. Given the projected savings in purchased components, what would be the maximumannual operating expense for this programsuch that it is marginally justified?

Ocean Tide Industries is planning to introduce a new product with a projected life of eight years. The project is in the government’s preferred industry list and qualifies for a one-time subsidy of $2,000,000 at the start of the project. Initial equipment (IE) will cost $14,000,000 and an additional equipment (AE) costing $1,000,000 will be needed at the end of year 2. At the end of 8 years, the original equipment, IE, will have no resale value but the supplementary equipment, AE, can be sold for its book value of $100,000. A working capital of $1,500,000 will be needed. The sales volume over the eight-year period have been forecast as follows: Year 1 80,000 units Year 2 120,000 units Years 3-5 300,000 units Years 6-8 200,000 units A sale price of $100 per unit is expected and the variable expenses will amount to 40% of sales revenue.

Celebrity Food is evaluating the kale crisper project. During year 1, the kale crisper project is expected to have relevant revenue of $400,000, relevant variable costs of $125,000, and relevant depreciation of $40,000. In addition, Celebrity Food would have one source of fixed costs associated with the kale crisper project. Celebrity Food just signed a deal with Lights Camera Action to develop an advertising campaign for use in the project. The terms of the deal require Celebrity Food to pay Lights Camera Action either $80,000 in 1 year if the project is pursued or $110,000 in 1 year if the project is not pursued. Relevant net income for the kale crisper project in year 1 is expected to be $200,000. calculate is the tax rate expected to be in year 1?

Precision Dyes wants to supply 100,000 bottles of a specialized industrial color to its customer per year, who wants to pay $250 per bottle. The contract will last for 4 years. It will cost Precision $6 million to install the necessary equipment to start production. The equipment can be depreciated using the 5-year MACRS method (20%, 32%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, 5.76%). Precision estimates that in four years, this equipment can be salvaged for $200,000. The fixed production costs will be $4 million per year, and the variable production costs should be $150 per bottle. Precision also needs an initial investment in net working capital of $600,000, all of which will be recovered when the project ends. The tax rate is 22 percent and Precision requires a return of 12 percent. Should Precision go forward with this deal? Why? Explain
