Global Services is considering a promotional campaign that will
increase annual credit sales by $650,000. The company will require
investments in accounts receivable, inventory, and plant and
equipment. The turnover for each is as follows:
Accounts receivable | 2 | times |
Inventory | 4 | times |
Plant and equipment | 2 | times |
All $650,000 of the sales will be collectible. However, collection
costs will be 6 percent of sales, and production and selling costs
will be 76 percent of sales. The cost to carry inventory will be 4
percent of inventory. Depreciation expense on plant and equipment
will be 10 percent of plant and equipment. The tax rate is 35
percent.
a. Compute the investments in accounts receivable,
inventory, and plant and equipment based on the turnover ratios.
Add the three together.
b. Compute the accounts receivable collection
costs and production and selling costs and then add the two figures
together.
c. Compute the costs of carrying inventory.
d. Compute the depreciation expense on new plant
and equipment.
e. Compute the total of all costs from parts b
through d.
f. Compute income after taxes.
