Abuela Pastries operates a chain of bakeries and is considering the sprinkle cookie project, which would involve selling sprinkle cookies for 1 year. The firm expects sales of sprinkle cookies to be $158,000 and associated costs from flour, butter, sugar, etc. used to make sprinkle cookies to be $69,000. The firm believes that sales of frosted cookies, a type of cookie that is currently offered by the firm, would be $33,000 less with the addition of sprinkle cookies, and that costs associated with frosted cookies would be $18,000 less with the addition of sprinkle cookies. Finally, Abuela Pastries believes that selling sprinkle cookies would increase traffic to its bakeries, which would increase expected sales of bread, cakes, and other items by $23,000 more than it would be without the addition of sprinkle cookies, and increase costs of bread, cakes, and other items by $15,000 more than it would be without the addition of sprinkle cookies. What is the operating cash flow (OCF) for…

Smith Petroleum has spent $204,000 to refine 64,000 gallons of petroleum distillate, which can be sold for $6.20 per gallon. Alternatively, Smith can process the distillate further and produce 53,000 gallons of cleaner fluid. The additional processing will cost $1.80 per gallon of distillate. The cleaner fluid can be sold for $9.30 per gallon. To sell cleaner fluid, Smith must pay a sales commission of $0.10 per gallon and a transportation charge of $0.16 per gallon. Read the requirements. Requirement 1. Fill in the diagram for Smith's alternatives.

The Sweetwater Candy Company would like to buy a new machine that would automatically “dip” chocolates. The dipping operation currently is done largely by hand. The machine the company is considering costs $210,000. The manufacturer estimates that the machine would be usable for five years but would require the replacement of several key parts at the end of the third year. These parts would cost $11,300, including installation. After five years, the machine could be sold for $6,000. The company estimates that the cost to operate the machine will be $9,300 per year. The present method of dipping chocolates costs $53,000 per year. In addition to reducing costs, the new machine will increase production by 5,000 boxes of chocolates per year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.65 per box. A 19% rate of return is required on all investments.

Milliken uses a digitally controlled dyer for placing intricate and integrated patterns on manufactured carpet squares for home and commercial use. It is purchased for $450,000. It is expected to last 8 years and has a salvage value of $30,000. Increased before tax cash flow due to this dyer is $97,500 per year. Milliken's tax rate is 40%, and the after-tax MARR is 12%. Develop tables using a spreadsheet to determine the ATCF for each year and the after-tax PW, AW, IRR, and ERR after 8 years. Use straight-line depreciation (no half-year convention). Use MACRS-GDS and state the appropriate property class. Use double declining balance depreciation (no half-year convention, no switching). (Round your answer to 2 decimal places for PW and AW. Do not round intermediate computations. Tolerance is +/- 1.00. Round to 2 decimal places and present in percentage format IRR and ERR. Tolerance is +/- 0.02.) ERR IRR AW PW a. b.
