Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Incorporated (DEI), a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems (RDSS). The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSS. This will be a five-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $7.2 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. If the land were sold today, the net proceeds would be $7.66 million after taxes. In five years, the land will be worth $7.96 million after taxes. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $13.24 million to build. The following market data on DEI's securities are current: Debt: Common stock: Preferred stock: Market: 91,200 6.9 percent coupon bonds outstanding, 23 years to maturity, selling for 94.4 percent of par; the…

When William first pitched a new product idea to his manager, it was very well received because he did such a thorough job of researching and analyzing it. He presented a comprehensive forecast that included both possible and probable levels of returns to be earned from this investment. As a result, the company handed over the money and put William in charge of the project. The company planned to evaluate the investment based on his "probable" forecast. One year into the project, money started getting tight in other divisions of the company. Pressure was on for William to provide some proof that this 3-year investment was starting to work. As of the end of that first year, $12,000 in operating costs and $12,000 in new operating cash inflows (both reflect after-tax amounts) had been realized. William had collected the following information but clearly still only had projections for the remaining 2 years of this project. Estimated (and actual) initial project investment Estimated annual…
Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Incorporated (DEI), a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems (RDSs). The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSs. This will be a five-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $3.8 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. The land was appraised last week for $6.9 million on an aftertax basis. In five years, the aftertax value of the land will be $7.3 million, but the company expects to keep the land for a future project. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant and equipment will cost $33.5 million to build. The following market data on DEI’s securities are current: Debt: 145,000 bonds with a coupon rate of 6.9 percent outstanding, 22…

Lisa is a contractor, and she owns a small home renovation company that specializes in kitchen renovations. Lisa fears she has been underbidding her projects, and that translates into lost profits that could help sustain her through slow periods. She is putting together an estimate for a potential client and has determined the following activities: Activity Cost Driver Rate Estimated Use for Job Demo of Existing Space Square Footage $3.26 /square foot 520 square feet Cabinet Installation # of Hours $205 /hour 8 hours Countertop Installation Square Footage $12.00/square foot 280 square feet Previously, Lisa was billing at a flat rate of $16 per square foot of the demo space with no additional markup. Lisa would like to add a 20% markup to the cost to arrive at the final bid price. Using Activity-Based Costing (ABC), what is the final bid price for her potential customer? (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places, eg. 25,000.25.) Final bid price $

As a cost accountant for San Francisco Cannery, you have been approached by Phil Perriman, canning room supervisor, about the 2020 costs charged to his department. In particular, he is concerned about the line item “depreciation.” Perriman is very proud of the excellent condition of his canning room equipment. He has always been vigilant about keeping all equipment serviced and well oiled. He is sure that the huge charge to depreciation is a mistake; it does not at all reflect the cost of minimal wear and tear that the machines have experienced over the last year. He believes that the charge should be considerably lower. The machines being depreciated are six automatic canning machines. All were put into use on January 1, 2020. Each cost $625,000, having a salvage value of $55,000 and a useful life of 12 years. San Francisco depreciates this and similar assets using double-declining-balance depreciation. Perriman has also pointed out that if you used straight-line depreciation, the…
