Chapter 6, Problem 6.21E
Sales budget, service setting. In 2017 Hart & Sons, a small environmental-testing firm, performed 11,400 radon tests for $260 each and 15,000 lead tests for $210 each. Because newer homes are being built with lead-free pipes, lead-testing volume is expected to decrease by 12% next year. However, awareness of radon-related health hazards is expected to result in a 5% increase in radon-test volume each year in the near future. Jim Hart feels that if he lowers his price for lead testing to $200 per test, he will have to face only a 4% decline in lead-test sales in 2018.
- 1. Prepare a 2018 sales budget for Hart & Sons assuming that Hart holds prices at 2017 levels.
- 2. Prepare a 2018 sales budget for Hart & Sons assuming that Hart lowers the price of a lead test to $200. Should Hart lower the price of a lead test in 2018 if the company’s goal is to maximize sales revenue?

In 2017, Cole & Sons, a small environmental-testing firm, performed 11,200 radon tests for $290 each and 15,800 lead tests for $240 each. Because newer homes are being built with lead-free pipes, lead-testing volume is expected to decrease by 12% next year. However, awareness of radon-related health hazards is expected to result in a 4% increase in radon-test volume each year in the near future. Jim Cole feels that if he lowers his price for lead testing to $230 per test, he will have to face only an 7% decline in lead-test sales in 2018.

- Thomasville Furniture Industries offers several types of high-performance fabrics that are capable of withstanding chemicals as harsh as chlorine. A Midwestern manufacturing company that uses fabric in several products has a report showing that the present worth of fabric purchases over a specified 5-year period was $900,000.

- An automobile manufacturer plans to spend $1 billion to improve the quality of a new model. The manufacturer expects the quality-improvement program to eliminate the need for recall and reduce the costs forother warranty repairs. The firm’s experience had been, on average, 1.5 recalls for each new model at acost of $300 per vehicle per recall. The average cost per recall, if one is needed, is expected to increase by10% for the new model. Costs for other warranty repairs are expected to decrease from $200 to $80 per unitsold. Sales of the new model were expected to be 500,000 units without the quality-improvement program.The company believes that the well-publicized quality-improvement program will increase total sales to650,000 units. If there is a profit of $5,000 per unit on any incremental sales attributable to the qualityimprovement program, is the $1 billion expenditure justified?arrow_forward42) A company is going to import a product, where we know by the manufacturer's announcement, that 5% has failures to be repaired according to insurance contract.

- Consider a proposal to enhance the vision system used by a postal service to sort mail. The new system is estimated to cost $1.1 million and will incur an additiona $200,000 per year in maintenance costs. The system will produce annual savings of $500,000 each year (primarily by decreasing the percentage of misdirected mail and reducing the amount of mail that must be sorted manually). The MARR is 10% per year, and the study period is five years at which time the system will be technologically obsolete (worthless). The PW of this proposal is PW(10%) = −$1,100,000 + ($500,000 − $200,000)(P/A, 10%, 5) = $37,236. Determine how sensitive the decision to invest in the system is to the estimates of investment cost and annual savings.arrow_forwardA state department of health is considering a public awareness campaign to encourage vaccination. It determines that the cost of this campaign would be $750,000 per year for the next 6 years. It estimates that the campaign would reduce rates of illness and communicable disease. At the end of the first year of the campaign, the resulting savings would be $1,040,000; the savings would decrease by $80,000 each of the following 5 years. Assuming a discounting factor of 8%, compute the benefit cost ratio. Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and them round your final answer to two decimal places.arrow_forwardA new product will cost $750,000 to design, test prototypes, and set up for production. Net revenue the first year is projected to be $225,000. Marketing is unsure whether future year revenues will (a) increase by $25,000 per year as the product’s advantages become more widely known or (b) decrease by 10% per year due to competition. A third pattern of increasing by $25,000 for one year and then decreasing by 10% per year has been suggested as being more realistic. The firm evaluates projects with a 12% interest rate, and it believes that this product will have a 5-year life. Calculate the present worth and rate of return for each scenario.arrow_forward
- A car rental agency has a budget of $2.38 million to purchase at most 110 new cars. The agency will purchase either subcompact cars at $17,000 each or midsized cars at $34,000 each. From past rental patterns, the agency decides to purchase at most 50 midsized cars and expects an annual profit of $7,500 per subcompact car and $14,000 per midsized car. How many of each type of car should be purchased to obtain the maximum profit while satisfying budgetary and other planning constraints?

The center needs to forecast its profitability over the next three years to plan for capital growth projects. For the first year, the hospital anticipates serving 1,400 patients, which is expected to grow by 9% per year. Based on current reimbursement formulas, each patient provides an average billing of $120,000, which will grow by 3% each year. However, because of managed care, the center collects only 25% of billings. Variable costs for supplies and drugs are calculated to be 10% of billings. Fixed costs for salaries, utilities, and so on will amount to $20,000,000 in the first year and are assumed to increase by 6% per year.
