Company X is looking to expand their operations to add a second product line capable of producing 1.25 Million units per year. The total estimated investment cost for the new line is $25 Million, with a salvage value equal to 20% of the purchase price at the end of the 6-year project life. The annual expected sales volume is shown below, in thousands of units: Year 1 2 3 4 5 6Volume 525,000 600,000 725,000 800,000 925,000 1,000,000
The average selling price is fixed for the project life at $125 per unit. Variable costs (per unit) include $35 for materials, $20 for manufacturing, and $18 for labor. There are additional fixed operating and maintenance costs totaling $14.25 Million per year. The company’s working capital calculations are based on a 2.5-month supply of raw materials and 1.5 months of combined inventory (WIP and finished goods) that it maintains to balance overall industry demand.

Required:
Calculate the number of students KCA should enroll in order to breakeven if it intends to charge annual fee of Ksh.40,000 per student.
Using the level of enrolment obtained in (i) above, compute the level of expected total revenue and total cost of the college.

- It is being decided whether or not to replace an existing piece of equipment with a newer, more productive one that costs $80,000 and has an estimated MV of $20,000 at the end of its useful life of six years. Installation charges for the new equipment will amount to $3,000; this is not added to the capital investment but will be an expensed item during the first year of operation. MACRS (GDS) depreciation (five-year property class) will be used. The new equipment will reduce direct costs (labor, maintenance, rework, etc.) by $10,000 in the first year, and this amount is expected to increase by $500 each year thereafter during its six-year life. It is also known that the BV of the fully depreciated old machine is $0 butthat its present fair MV is $14,000. The MV of the old machine will be zero in six years.

- A4-5 A production facility is currently utilizing carbon steel tubing. The current process will require the injection of chemicals to control tubing corrosion due to high temperatures, pressures, and corrosive chlorides in the transported product. It is proposed to replace the car- bon steel that cost $12 per foot with an installation cost of $125,000 last year, with a chrome stainless steel tubing that would cost $68 per foot today (time zero). 20,000 feet of tubing would be required and installation costs are estimated to total $500,000 (also at time zero). Annual cost savings in chemicals, labor, and chemical injection equip- ment are projected to be $550,000 in year one. The year one savings would escalate at an annually compounded rate of 7% per year beginning in year 2. For simplicity, use a 6-year evaluation life with a salvage value of zero at the end of year 6.
