I know there is a Bartleby on this, but the commas are all out of place and I'm still confused. Could you give a more in-depth solution and explain on how to calcultae FCF, specifically with excel functions? We are entering the widget business. It costs $500,000, payable in year 1, to develop a prototype. This cost can be depreciated on a straight-line basis during years 1-5. Each widget sells for $40 and incurs a variable cost of $20. During year 1 the market size is 100,000, and the market size is growing at 10% per year. Profits are taxed at 40%, but there are no taxes on negative profits. a) Given our other assumptions, what market share (in %) is needed to ensure the total free cash flow (FCF) of $0 over the five year period? Note: FCF during a year equals after-tax profits plus depreciation minus fixed costs (if any).b) Describe how an increase in percent market growth rate changes total FCF over years 1-5.c) Describe how simultaneous changes in percent market share and changes…
Required Information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below] For many years, Thomson Company manufactured a single product called LEC 40. Then three years ago, the company automated a portion of its plant and at the same time introduced a second product called LEC 90 that has become Increasingly popular. The LEC 90 is a more complex product, requiring 0.80 hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture and extensive machining in the automated portion of the plant. The LEC 40 requires only 0.40 hours of direct labor time per unit and only a small amount of machining. Manufacturing overhead costs are currently assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. Despite the growing popularity of the company's new LEC 90, profits have been declining steadily. Management is beginning to believe that there may be a problem with the company's costing system. Direct material and direct labor costs per unit are as follows: Direct materials Direct labor…
An IE works in the automation department of a surgical equipment manufacturing company that produces specially ordered equipment for hospitals. To upgrade the quality of the assembly process of the camera used in laparoscopic surgery probes, two approaches are available: make and buy. The make alternative has an initial equipment cost of $175,000, a life of 5 years, a $25,000 salvage value, a processing cost of $3,000 per camera, and an M&O cost of $65,000. The buy alternative requires contracting the assembly operation externally at a cost of $6,000 per camera. If the MARR is 12% per year, how many cameras per year must be assembled to justify the make alternative? cameras must be assembled per year to justify the make alternative.
Polaris Industries wishes to purchase a multiple-use in-plan ”road test” simulator that can be used for ATVs, motorcycles, and snowmobiles. It takes digital data from relatively short drives on a desired surface - from smooth to exceptionally harsh - and simulates the ride over and over while the vehicle is mounted to a test stand under load. It can run continuously if desired and provides opportunities to redesign in areas of poor reliability. It costs $128,000 and its market value decreases 30% each year. Operating costs are modest; however, maintenance costs can be significant due to the rugged use. O&M in the first year is expected to be 10,000, increasing 25% each subsequent year. MARR is 15%. What is the optimum replacement interval? Show screen shots of any formulas used in Excel.
Harrington Manufacturing Inc. began operation 5 years ago producing the probo, a new type of instrument it hoped to sell to doctors, dentist, and hospitals. The demand for probos far exceeded initial expectations, and the company was unable to produce enough probos to meet that demand. Harrington was manufacturing probos on equipment built at the start of its operations, but it needed more efficient equipment to meet demand. The company management decided to design and build the equipment, because no equipment currently available on the market was suitable for producing probos. In 2021, a section of the plant was devoted to development of the new equipment and a special staff of personnel was hired. Within six months, a machine was developed at a cost of $170,000that increased production and reduced labor cost substantially. Sparked by the success the new machine, the company built three more machines of the same type at a cost of $80,000 each. Required: In addition to satisfying a…

A machine that produces a certain piece must be turned off by the operator after each piece is completed. The machine "coasts" for 15 seconds after it is turned off, thus preventing the operator from removing the piece quickly before producing the next piece. An engineer has suggested installing a brake that would reduce the coasting time to 3 seconds. The machine produces 50,000 pieces a year. The time to produce one piece is 1 minute 45 seconds, excluding coastint time. The operator earns $13 an hour and direct costs for operation are $2 an hour. The direct costs are incurred whenever the operator has to work. The brake will require servicing every 587 hours of operation. It will take the operator 30 minutes to perform the necessary maintenance and will require $60 in parts and material. The brake is expected to last 7,500 hours of operation (with proper maintenance) and will have no salvage value. How much could be spent for the brake if the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return is 10%…
