Andy Mendoza makes handcrafted dolls, which he cells at craft fairs. He is considering mass-producing the dolls to sell in stores. He estimates that the initial investment for plant and equipment will be $25,000, whereas labor, material, packaging, and shipping will be about $10, per doll. If the dolls are sold for $30 each, what sales volume is necessary for Andy to break even?

Your task is to help him figure out how many rooms he has to rent each night to break even. Here are the key assumptions you will need to complete the analysis: -Billy Bob’s cost of just keeping the B & B open for business in $500.00 per day. (Rent and Utilities) -He has 10 rooms available to rent. -He calculates the variable cost of renting a room to be $20.00. (Maid Service, towel and sheet cleaning) -He figures he can rent a room for $125.00 per night. 1. Assuming he rents all 10 rooms, what is Billy-Bob's total fixed cost per day. (Remember fixed cost is the cost that doesn’t vary with sales or production.) 2. Assuming Billy Bob rents all 10 rooms, what is his variable cost for the day? (Remember variable costs changes with sales and production). 3. What is Billy Bob’s total cost for the day when he…

Pappy's Potato has come up with a new product, the Potato Pet (they are freeze-dried to last longer). Pappy's paid $120,000 for a marketing survey to determine the viability of the product. It is felt that Potato Pet will generate sales of $915,000 per year. The fixed costs associated with this will be $235,000 per year, and variable costs will amount to 20 percent of sales. The equipment necessary for production of the Potato Pet will cost $890,000 and will be depreciated in a straight-line manner for the four years of the product life (as with all fads, it is felt the sales will end quickly). This is the only initial cost for the production. The tax rate is 23 percent and the required return is 13 percent. Calculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR.

The Elberta Fruit Farm of Ontario is considering buying a cherry-picking machine to replace the part-time workers it usually hires to harvest its annual cherry crop. The machine shakes the cherry tree, causing the cherries to fall onto plastic tarps that funnel the cherries into bins. The company gathered the following information: The farm pays part-time workers $200,000 per year to pick the cherries. The cherry picker would cost $540,000, have a 8-year useful life with no salvage value, and be depreciated using the straight-line method. The cherry picker’s annual out-of-pocket costs would be cost of an operator and an assistant, $85,000; insurance, $4,000; fuel, $12,000; and a maintenance contract, $15,000.
