Lon Timur is an accounting major at a midwestern state university located approximately 60 miles from a major city. Many of the students attending the university are from the metropolitan area and visit their homes regularly on the weekends. Lon, an entrepreneur at heart, realizes that few good commuting alternatives are available for students doing weekend travel. He believes that a weekend commuting service could be organized and run profitably from several suburban and downtown shopping mall locations. Lon has gathered the following investment information.

1. Five used vans would cost a total of $75,300 to purchase and would have a 3-year useful life with negligible salvage value. Lon plans to use straight-line depreciation.
2. Ten drivers would have to be employed at a total payroll expense of $47,990.
3. Other annual out-of-pocket expenses associated with running the commuter service would include Gasoline $15,990, Maintenance $3,310, Repairs $4,000, Insurance $4,200, and Advertising $2,510.
4. Lon has visited several financial institutions to discuss funding. The best interest rate he has been able to negotiate is 15%. Use this rate for cost of capital.
5. Lon expects each van to make ten round trips weekly and carry an average of six students each trip. The service is expected to operate 30 weeks each year, and each student will be charged $12.05 for a round-trip ticket.

(a)

Determine the annual (1) net income and (2) net annual cash flows for the commuter service. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

Net income $ ??????

(b)

Cash payback period ???? years
Annual rate of return ???? %

(c)

Compute the net present value of the commuter service. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.)

Jeeler​'s Netballs is a manufacturer of​ high-quality basketballs and volleyballs. Setup costs are driven by the number of batches. Equipment and maintenance costs increase with the number of​ machine-hours, and lease rent is paid per square foot.

The Stellar Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Stellar has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Stellar will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs.

Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $618,100, useful life 26 years.

Building B: Lease for 26 years with annual lease payments of $70,340 being made at the beginning of the year.

Building C: Purchase for $653,200 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 26 years at a net annual rental of $6,540. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Stellar Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.

Maglie Company manufactures two video game consoles: handheld and home. The handheld consoles are smaller and less expensive than the home consoles. The company only recently began producing the home model. Since the introduction of the new product, profits have been steadily declining. Management believes that the accounting system is not accurately allocating costs to products, particularly because sales of the new product have been increasing.

Management has asked you to investigate the cost allocation problem. You find that manufacturing overhead is currently assigned to products based on their direct labor costs. For your investigation, you have data from last year. Manufacturing overhead was $1,580,000 based on production of 350,000 handheld consoles and 85,000 home consoles. Direct labor and direct materials costs were as follows:

Handheld Home Total
Direct labor $ 1,570,000 $ 405,000 $ 1,975,000
Materials 770,000 707,000 1,477,000

Management has determined that overhead costs are caused by three cost drivers. These drivers and their costs for last year are as follows:

Activity Level
Cost Driver Costs Assigned Handheld Home Total
Number of production runs $ 840,000 45 15 60
Quality tests performed 544,000 14 20 34
Shipping orders processed 196,000 100 40 140
Total overhead $ 1,580,000

Required:

a. How much overhead will be assigned to each product if these three cost drivers are used to allocate overhead? What is the total cost per unit produced for each product? (Round "Total cost per unit" to 2 decimal places.)

b. How much overhead will be assigned to each product if direct labor cost is used to allocate overhead? What is the total cost per unit produced for each product? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Total cost per unit" to 2 decimal places.)

Barbour Corporation, located in Buffalo, New York, is a retailer of high-tech products and is known for its excellent quality and innovation. Recently, the firm conducted a relevant cost analysis of one of its product lines that has only two products, T-1 and T-2. The sales for T-2 are decreasing and the purchase costs are increasing. The firm might drop T-2 and sell only T-1.

Barbour allocates fixed costs to products on the basis of sales revenue. When the president of Barbour saw the income statements (see below), he agreed that T-2 should be dropped. If T-2 is dropped, sales of T-1 are expected to increase by 10% next year, but the firm’s cost structure will remain the same.

T-1 T-2
Sales $ 285,000 $ 328,000
Variable costs:
Cost of goods sold 87,000 164,000
Selling & administrative 27,000 67,000

Fixed selling and administrative 29,000 38,000
Total fixed expenses $ 106,000 $ 130,000
Operating income $ 65,000 $ (33,000 )

Required:

1. Find the expected change in annual operating income by dropping T-2 and selling only T-1.

2. By what percentage would sales from T-1 have to increase in order to make up the financial loss from dropping T-2? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e. 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)

3. What is the required percentage increase in sales from T-1 to compensate for lost margin from T-2, if total fixed costs can be reduced by $54,000? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e. 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)
