The company currently manufactures several lines of snow skiing apparel. The new products, insulated ski shorts, are expected to generate sales less cost of goods sold of P1 million per year for the next five years. They expect that during this five year period, they will lose about P200,000 per year in sales less cost of goods sold on their existing lines of longer ski pants as a result of the introduction of the new product line. The new line will require no additional equipment or space in the plant and can be produced in the same manner as the existing apparel products. The new project will, however, require that the company spend an additional P80,000 per year on insurance in case customers sue for frostbite. Also, a new marketing director would be hired to oversee the line at P45,000 per year in salary and benefits. Because of the different construction of the shorts, an increase in inventory of 3,800 would be required initially.…arrow_forward

- Juja farm company has an ageing piece of equipment which is less efficient that more modern equivalents. This equipment will continue to operate or another 15 years but operating and maintenance costs will be Shs 3,500,000 per year. Alternatively it could be sold, raising shs. 2,000,000 more and replaced with modern equivalent which costs Shs 7,000,000 but has reduced operating maintenance costs at Shs 3,000,000 per year. This machine could be sold at the end of its 15 yea life for scrap for Shs 500,000. The third possibility is to spend Shs. 2,500,000 for an immediate overhaul of the old machine which will improve its efficiency for the rest of its life. So that operating and maintenance costs become Sh 3,200,000 per annum. The old equipment will have a zero scrap value in 15 years whether or not it is overhauled.
