McGilla Golf is evaluating a new line of golf clubs. The clubs will sell for $950 per set and have a variable cost of $415 per set. The company has spent $150,000 for a marketing study that determined the company will sell 50,000 sets per year for seven years. The marketing study also determined that the company will lose sales of 9,000 sets of its high-priced clubs. The high-priced clubs sell at $1,450 and have variable costs of $590. The company also will increase sales of its cheap clubs by 12,000 sets. The cheap clubs sell for $475 and have variable costs of $210 per set. The fixed costs each year will be $9.4 million. The company has also spent $1 million on research and development for the new clubs. The plant and equipment required will cost $29.4 million and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to a zero salvage value. The new clubs also will require an increase in net working capital of $2.4 million that will be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 24…
Last year Minden Company introduced a new product and sold 25, 200 units of it at a price of $93 per unit. The product's variable expenses are $63 per unit and its fixed expenses are $ 832,500 per year. 3. Assume the company has conducted a marketing study that estimates it can increase annual sales of this product by 5,000 units for each $2 reduction in its selling price. If the company will only consider price reductions in increments of $2 (e.g., $68, $66, etc.), what is the maximum annual profit that it can earn on this product? What sales volume and selling price per unit generate the maximum profit? 4. What would be the break- even point in unit sales and in dollar sales using the selling price that you determined in requirement 3 ?

Chan’s Spring Roll (CSR), a seller of frozen spring roll, is considering introducing a healthier version of its product that will be low in sugar and gluten-free. The firm expects that sales of the new spring roll will be $20 million per year. While many of these sales will be to new customers, CSR estimates that 50% will come from customers who switch to the new, healthier spring roll instead of buying the original version. Suppose that 25% of the customers who would switch from CSR’s original spring roll to its healthier version will switch to another brand if CSR does not introduce a healthier spring roll. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new spring roll in this case? $15 million $10 million $17.5 million $12.5 million
A bicycle manufacturer currently produces 395,000 units a year and expects output levels to remain steady in the future. It buys chains from an outside supplier at a price of $1.90 a chain. The plant manager believes that it would be cheaper to make these chains rather than buy them. Direct in-house production costs are estimated to be only $1.40 per chain. The necessary machinery would cost $231,000 and would be obsolete after 10 years. This investment could be depreciated to zero for tax purposes using a 10-year straight-line depreciation schedule. The plant manager estimates that the operation would require $42,000 of inventory and other working capital upfront (year 0), but argues that this sum can be ignored since it is recoverable at the end of the 10 years. Expected proceeds from scrapping the machinery after 10 years are $17,325. If the company pays tax at a rate of 35% and the opportunity cost of capital is 15%, what is the net present value of the decision to produce the…
Winnebagel Corp. currently sells 39,089 motor homes per year at $41,847 each, and 10,363 luxury motor coaches per year at $118,784 each. The company wants to introduce a new portable camper to fill out its product line; it hopes to sell 16,138 of these campers per year at $11,428 each. An independent consultant has determined that if Winnebagel introduces the new campers, it should boost the sales of its existing motor homes by 4,091 units per year, and reduce the sales of its motor coaches by 1,489 units per year. What is the amount to use as the annual sales figure when evaluating this project?

Simmons Company is a merchandiser with multiple store locations. One of its store managers is considering a shift in her store's product mix in anticipation of a strengthening economy. Her store would invest $800,000 in more expensive merchandise (an increase in its working capital) with the expectation that it would increase annual sales and variable expenses by $400,000 and $250,000, respectively for three years. At the end of the three-year period, the store manager believes that the economic surge will subside; therefore, she will release the additional investment in working capital. The store manager's pay raises are largely determined by her store's return on investment (ROI), which has exceeded 22% each of the last three years.
