You are on the leadership team for a small business, XYZ Incorporated. After years of growth, sales have begun to stagnate over the last two years. Sales for XYZ have been constant at $900,000. Net Income was $50,000 last year and is expected to be $30,000 this current year if a change isn't made. XYZ has $85,000 in reserves to cover any shortfall. A change is needed to hopefully revitalize XYZ into a new period of growth. The leadership of XYZ is willing to take out a loan in order to finance this change. The maximum amount of the loan would be $250,000 at 5% interest with payments amortized over 20 years and a balloon payment at the end of 5 years. In working with a consultant, the leadership team has settled on two options that are good candidates for change. Option A will cost the full $250,000. The leadership team has settled on the following probability scenarios. The Total Return at End of 5th Year is based on the $50,000 net income from last year (e.g., 100% return would mean…
Elise Carpets Inc. has just acquired a new backing division that produces a rubber backing, which it sells for $3.30 per square yard. Sales are about 1,200,000 square yards per year. Since the Backing Division has a capacity of 2,000,000 square yards per year, top management is thinking that it might be wise for the company's Tufting Division to start purchasing from the newly acquired Backing Divi- sion. The Tufting Division now purchases 600,000 square yards per year from an outside supplier at a price of $3.00 per square yard. The current price is lower than the competitive $3.30 price as a result of the large quantity discounts. The Backing Division's cost per square yard follows. Direct materials.. Direct labor.... Variable overhead.. Fixed overhead (1,200,000 level) Total cost.... $1.80 0.45 0.37 0.15 $2.77 Required a. If both divisions are to be treated as investment centers and their performance evaluated by the ROI formula, what transfer price would you recommend? Why? b. If…
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. Required: 1. Assuming the company’s discount rate is 16%, calculate the net present value of the store manager’s investment opportunity. 2. Calculate the annual margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI) provided by the store manager’s investment…
