Linda is working on the budgeted fixed-MOH rate for the upcoming year. Her company has recently purchased some new equipment to increase its capacity. If all resources are in place and everything runs perfectly, the production department can generate 545 units per hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. More realistically, however, the plant will shut down completely for 9 full days a year to observe national holidays, while maintenance and other down time will consume 3 hours of each day, with output being closer to 465 units per hour. Calculate Linda's theoretical and practical capacity for next year. If budgeted fixed-MOH costs are expected to be $2,720,000, what will the fixed-MOH rate be for the theoretical level? The practical level? (Round per unit answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

The Elite Car Rental Corporation is contemplating expanding its short-term rental fleet by 30 automobiles at a cost of $900,000. It expects to keep the autos for only two years and to sell them at the end of that period for 60 percent, on average, of what they cost. The plan is to generate $21,000 of incremental revenue per additional auto in each year of operation. The controller estimates that other costs will amount to 20 cents per kilometre on an average of 40,000 kilometres per car per year. She also estimates that the new business will require an investment of $10,000 in additional working capital. The firm is in a 30 percent tax bracket and uses 12 percent as a cost of capital a. Calculate the NPV (Do not round the intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to the nearest whole dollar. Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.

You are investigating the cost of project to renovate the kitchens in a large apartment building, the payments for this work will be $32,500 up front and $13500 a month for 8 months, followed by a completion payment of $31500. To start this project you will need to purchase equipment for $70,000 at the beginning of the project and you expect monthly materials and operating costs to be about $7,500. The Rate of Return is 12%. What is the total PV of the 8 monthly payments of $13500 per month. You should assume that the payments are made at the end months 1 through 8. (So this is a ordinary simple annuity). Round your answer to the nearest penny. Your Answer: Answer
Margaret is working on the budgeted fixed-MOH rate for the upcoming year. Her company has recently purchased some new equipment to increase its capacity. If all resources are in place and everything runs perfectly, the production department can generate 540 units per hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. More realistically, however, the plant will shut down completely for 10 full days a year to observe national holidays, while maintenance and other down time will consume 3 hours of each day, with output being closer to 495 units per hour. Calculate Margaret's theoretical and practical capacity for next year. If budgeted fixed-MOH costs are expected to be $3,060,000, what will the fixed-MOH rate be for the theoretical level?

Heer Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 160,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next three years, and you've decided to bid on the contract. It will cost you $840,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production and you estimate that it can be salvaged for $160,000 at the end of the three-year contract. Your fixed production costs will be $290,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $8.50 per carton. If you require a 12 percent return on your investment, what is the minimum bid price you should submit?
a. Campbell Manufacturing is considering the purchase of a new welding system. The cash benefits will be $480,000 per year. The system costs $2,450,000 and will last 10 years. b. Evee Cardenas is interested in investing in a women's specialty shop. The cost of the investment is $230,000. She estimates that the return from owning her own shop will be $55,000 per year. She estimates that the shop will have a useful life of 6 years. c. Barker Company calculated the NPV of a project and found it to be $63,900. The project's life was estimated to be 8 years. The required rate of return used for the NPV calculation was 10%. The project was expected to produce annual after-tax cash flows of $135,000. Required: 1. Compute the NPV for Campbell Manufacturing, assuming a discount rate of 12%. If required, round all present value calculations to the nearest dollar. Use the minus sign to indicate a negative NPV.

Consider a project to supply Detroit with 27,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $6,000,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for 6 years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $1,450,000 and that variable costs should be $275 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 6-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $825,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $392 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $580,000. You require a return of 11 percent and face a tax rate of 22 percent on this project. a-1. What is the estimated OCF for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. and round your answer to the nearest whole number,…
Mersey Chemicals manufactures polypropylene that it ships to its customers via tank car. Currently it plans to add two additional tank cars to its fleet four years from now. However, a proposed plant expansion will require Mersey's transport division to add these two additional tank cars in 1 years' time rather than in 4 years. The current cost of a tank car is $1.9 million, and this cost is expected to remain constant. Also, while tank cars will last indefinitely, they will be depreciated straight-line over a five-year life for tax purposes. Suppose Mersey's tax rate is 20%. When evaluating the proposed expansion, what incremental free cash flows should be included to account for the need to accelerate the purchase of the tank cars? Incremental FCF for year 0 is how much? (Round to two decimal places and outflows as negative values.)
After you prepared the operating budget for the first quarter, Lockden learned that one of the two molding machines used by the company needs a major overhaul soon. Since the company is considering cost reduction strategies in response to the economic uncertainty, this news was unfavorable. But Lockden realized that the overhaul is important and has decided to do the overhaul during the first quarter of 2020. The overhaul will cost US$100,000,7 and the machine will not be operational during the overhaul (i.e., the entire duration of the first quarter). The company is exploring the viability of the following options to handle this operational challenge: Option 1: Lockitt, Inc. will run the functional molding machine two shifts per day, instead of one. Since LB075 labor is paid hourly, this proposal will not change the labor hours required. But the company must pay a higher wage rate to the employees in the second shift, causing the average LB075 rate to increase to $45 per hour.…

Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $435,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 6-year life. It will be worth $54,000 at the end of that time. You will save $157,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $43,000 at the beginning of the project. Working capital will revert back to normal at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 23 percent, what is the IRR for this project? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. IRR 25.73 %
FEX, a grocery store, is considering offering one-hour photo developing in their store. The firm expects that sales from the new one-hour machine will be $139,000 per year. FEX currently offers overnight film processing with annual sales of $90,000. While FEX expects that many of the one-hour photo sales will be to new customers, it also expects that most of the old customers will switch to the new one-hour machine. Specifically, FEX estimates that 75% of their current overnight photo customers will switch and use the one-hour service. Given these expectations, the level of incremental sales associated with introducing the new one hour photo service is closest to O $206,500 O $36,300 O $71,500 $139,000 O $121,800 O $94,800
