- A company is considering expanding a production line, which is expected to remain operational for the foreseeable future. There are two machines, A and B, which could do the job. However, the two machinces are not the same. First of all the price of A is 400 MUSD and the price of B is 300 MUSD. Furthermore, A needs to be replaced every 8, whereas B needs to be replaced every 4. Otherwise, the machines perform similarly, producing 20 MUD additional cashflow every year. The firm's cost of capital is 22.0%, 1. What is the cost equivalent of A? MUSD/year 2. What is the npv of the project if A is selected? MUSDThe Windshield division of Fast Car Co. makes windshields for use in Fast Car’s Assembly division. The Windshield division incurs variable costs of $200 per windshield and has capacity to make 500,000 windshields per year. The market price is $450 per windshield. The Windshield division incurs total fixed costs of $3,000,000 per year. If the Windshield division is operating at full capacity, what transfer price should be used on transfers between the Windshield and Assembly divisions?Waterways is thinking of mass-producing one of its special-order sprinklers. To do so would increase unit variable costs for all sprinklers by an average of $0.70. The company also estimates that this change could increase the overall number of sprinklers sold by 10%, and the average unit sales price would increase $0.20. Waterways currently sells 490.000 sprinkler units at an average unit selling price of $28.60. The manufacturing costs are $7,866,260 variable and $2.011,486 fixed. Selling and administrative costs are $2,644.240 variable and $809,370 fixed. If Waterways begins mass-producing its special-order sprinklers, how would this affect the company?

- A bicycle manufacturer currently produces 237,000 units a year and expects output levels to remain steady in the future. It buys chains from an outside supplier at a price of $2.20 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 $1.60 per chain. The necessary machinery would cost $293,000 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 $44,000 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 $21,975. 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…A process control manager is considering two robots to improve materials handling capacity in the production of rigid shaft couplings that mate dissimilar drive components. Robot X has a first cost of $84,000, an annual M&O cost of $31,000, a $40,000 salvage value, and will improve revenues by $96,000 per year. Robot Y has a first cost of $146,000, an annual M&O cost of $28,000, a $47,000 salvage value, and will increase revenues by $119,000 per year. The company’s MARR is 15% per year and it uses a 3-year study period for economic evaluations. Which one should the manager select (a) on the basis of ROR values, and (b) on the basis of the incremental ROR value? (c) Which is the correct selection basis? Perform the analysis by hand or spreadsheet, as instructed.FAE Technologies is deciding whether it should begin production of a new toy robot. It has manufactured children’s toys before but nothing as advanced as its latest robot so historical data is at a minimum. The company believes that they can secure the materials for manufacture for between $65-85 per unit and labor costs would be between $15-25 per unit. Management’s expectations are that materials will cost $70 per unit and labor $25 per unit and that 800 units will be sold monthly. Should FAE decide to manufacture the robots in-house, maintenance of the factory machine would cost $15,000 per month. However, management has found that another alternative is for the company to outsource the labor for a flat rate of $35 per unit. The company expects to sell between 750-1000 units per month initially at a price of $149. Provide recommendations for FAE technologies that will maximize profit. Also include base, worst, and best case scenario calculations and provide a scenario summary. Be…
- Madetaylor Inc. manufactures financial calculators. The company is deciding whether to introduce a new calculator. This calculator will sell for $130. The company feels that sales will be 18,000, 22,000, 24,000, 22,000, and 18,000 units annually for the next five years. Variable costs will be 21% of sales, and fixed costs are $500,000 annually. The firm hired a marketing team to analyze the product's viability, and the marketing analysis cost $1,250,000. The company plans to manufacture and store the calculators in a vacant warehouse. Based on a recent appraisal, the warehouse and the property are worth $2.5 million after tax. If the company does not sell the property today, it will sell it five years from today at the currently appraised value. This project will require an injection of net working capital at the onset of the project, $250,000. The firm recovers the net working capital at the end of the project.
