Poullus Limited (PL), a high-tech electronics manufacturing company, is currently operating at 70% of its maximum capacity. A new customer in Lesotho has asked PL to provide a special order for 200 virtual reality headsets at R2,500 per unit. The potential customer is not a current customer of PL, but the directors of PL are keen to try and win the contract as they believe that this may lead to more contracts in the future from Lesotho. As a result, they intend pricing the contract using relevant costs. 800 kilograms of material B will be required. This material will have to be purchased for the contract because it is not otherwise used by PL. The minimum order quantity from the supplier is 1 000 kilograms at a cost of R180 per kilogram. PL does not expect to have any use for any of this material that remains after this contract is completed.

You are considering adding a new software title to those published by your highly successful software company. If you add the new product, it will use capacity on your disk duplicating machines that you had planned on using for your flagship product, “Battlin’ Bobby.” You had planned on using the unused capacity to start selling “BB” on the West coast in two years. You would eventually have had to purchase additional duplicating machines 10 years from today, but using the capacity for your new product will require moving this purchase up to 2 years from today. If the new machines will cost $113,000 and can be expensed under Section 179, your marginal tax rate is 21 percent, and your cost of capital is 14 percent, what is the opportunity cost associated with using the unused capacity for the new product? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Focus on ethics (Note: This case is based on an actual situation.) Stan Sewell paid $50000 for a franchise that entitled him to market software programs in the countries of the European Union. Sewell intended to sell individual franchises for the major language groups of Western Europe-German, French, English, Spanish and Italian. Naturally, investors considering buying a franchise from Sewell asked to see the financial statements of his business. Believing the value of the franchise to be $500000, Sewell sought to capitalise his own franchise at $500000. The law firm of St Charles & LaDue helped Sewell form a company empowered to issue 500000 ordinary shares.
