Kites Galore is considering making and selling custom kites in two sizes. The small kites would be priced at $14 and the large kites would be $21. The variable cost per unit is $8 and $12, respectively. Tom, the owner, feels that he could sell 3,800 of the small kites and 2,400 of the large kites each year. The fixed costs would only be $4,000 a year and the tax rate is 35 percent. What is the annual operating cash flow if the annual depreciation expense is $2,700? $27,845 $26,260 $27,205 $29,245 $29,130

McSwing Inc. has decided to sell a new line of golf clubs. They will sell for $925 per set and have a variable cost of $480 per set. The company has determined that they will sell 75,000 units per year for the next 5 years. The fixed cost each year will be $14 million dollars. The company has to spend $1 million dollars on R&D for the club as a one time expense. The plant and equipment required will cost $50 million and will depreciate straight line to zero over five years. The expected salvage value of the plant and equipment is $3 million dollars. The new clubs will require an increase in net working capital of $3.5 million. The tax rate is 23% and the cost of capital is 14%. Calculate NPV. Based on this information, will you do the project?
Rust Industrial Systems Company is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $320,000, has a four-year life, and requires $117,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $400,000, has a six-year life, and requires $111,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Suppose the company always needs a conveyor belt system; when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 21 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the EAC for both conveyor belt systems. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Xavi sells seashore paintings. His annual Fixed Costs are $1,000 and the Variable Costs are $8 per painting. After looking at the numbers, Xavi realizes he can only paint about 25 paintings per year and maintain his high quality standards. What would be his breakeven price at this volume of work per year?
H2. A clothing manufacturer is considering whether to add hoodies to its range of products. The hoodies would sell for $45 each and the company expects to sell 10,000 units per year. Selling hoodies, however, would cause sales of conventional jumpers to decrease by 1,000 units per year. The jumpers sell for $43 per unit. The variable costs of production are $25 per unit for hoodies and $20 per unit for jumpers. If the company adds hoodies to its range of products, fixed costs will increase by $56,000 per year and annual depreciation will increase by $21,000. What is the incremental operating cash flow from selling hoodies, if the corporate tax rate is 30%? Please show proper step by step calculation

You are considering the purchase of one of two machines used in your manufacturing plant. Machine A has a life of two years, costs $80 initially, and then requires $125 per year in maintenance costs. Machine B costs $150 initially, has a life of three years, and requires $100 in annual maintenance costs. Either machine must be replaced at the end of its life with an equivalent machine. The discount rate is 12 percent and the tax rate is zero. Calculate the EAC. Which one should you choose?
Your uncle is considering investing in a new company that will produce high quality stereo speakers. The sales price would be set at 1.5 times the variable cost per unit; the variable cost per unit is estimated to be $75.00; and fixed costs are estimated at $1,200,000. What sales volume would be required to break even, i.e., to have EBIT = zero? O 28,880 O 16,000 O none of the above O 30,400 Ⓒ33,600
Mike's Bikes is thinking about carrying a new line of adult tricycles. To carry this new line, Mike's Bikes would have to invest $27,210 in training and equipment. The new bikes would earn Mike's Bikes a 33% contribution margin as percent of selling price. Mike's Bikes will not take on the new line unless the company is assured of earning a 14% return on sales. Calculate breakeven sales in DOLLARS, while achieving the ROS% target. (Rounding: penny.)
Reagan, Inc., has developed a chew-proof dog bed—the Tuff-Pup. Fixed costs are $204,400 per year. The average price for the Tuff-Pup is $36, and the average variable cost is $22 per unit.Currently, Reagan produces and sells 20,000 Tuff-Pups annually.Required:1. How many Tuff-Pups must be sold to break even?2. If Reagan wants to earn $95,900 in profit, how many Tuff-Pups must be sold? Prepare a variable-costing income statement to verify your answer.3. Suppose that Reagan would like to lower the break-even units to 12,000. The company does not believe that the price or fixed cost can be changed. Calculate the new unit variable costthat would result in break-even units of 12,000. (Round to the nearest cent.)4. What is Reagan’s current contribution margin and operating income? Calculate the degree of operating leverage (round your answer to four decimal places). If sales increased by 10percent next year, what would the percent change in operating income be? What would the new total…
Kayla's Kayaks is also evaluating the extension of credit to a new customer, Ray's River Guides. Kayla estimates that this new customer would add $50,000 in additional credit sales, with 5% likely to be uncollectible. She estimates that she will incur $5,000 in additional collection expenses. Kayla's production and marketing costs represent 65% of her sales and the company is in the 30% tax bracket. She will not need any other asset buildup to service this new customer. Kayla's average collection period is 90 days and she has an 8% desired return. Should Kayla accept this new customer? Please provide her with the applicable calculations to back up your recommendation. Additionally, if you recommend that she accept this new customer, please explain the risks of doing so, specifically in terms of the percentage estimates she has given to you. If you recommend that she not accept this new customer, please give Kayla some ideas about what she could do to make this proposition more…
Knarly Knife Kompany is thinking about launching a new kitchen knife set. Relevant fixed costs for this launch would be $1.3 million. The knife sets would sell for $55 each, earning a contribution margin of $22.93 per set. Suppose Knarly introduces the new knife set and sells exactly 45,600 knife sets. What would be Knarly's profit or loss on the launch, in dollars? (If it is a loss, be sure to include a negative sign. Rounding: whole dollar.) Answer is: -254,392, but HOW is that the answer? Please explain.
Jason is interested in finding the breakeven point for a new pump it plans to produce. The price of the pump is $250 and the variable cost ratio is 50% of the price. Jason calculated that the fixed costs will be about $400,000. What is the breakeven point of operations?
