Net Present Value-Unequal Lives

Daisy’s Creamery Inc. is considering one of two investment options. Option 1 is a $69,000 investment in new blending equipment that is expected to produce equal annual cash flows of $21,000 for each of seven years. Option 2 is a $79,000 investment in a new computer system that is expected to produce equal annual cash flows of $27,000 for each of five years. The residual value of the blending equipment at the end of the fifth year is estimated to be $14,000. The computer system has no expected residual value at the end of the fifth year.

“In my opinion, we ought to stop making our own drums and accept that outside supplier’s...

“In my opinion, we ought to stop making our own drums and accept that outside supplier’s offer,” said Wim Niewindt, managing director of Antilles Refining, N.V., of Aruba. “At a price of $19 per drum, we would be paying $5.45 less than it costs us to manufacture the drums in our own plant. Since we use 85,000 drums a year, that would be an annual cost savings of $463,250.” Antilles Refining’s current cost to manufacture one drum is given below (based on 85,000 drums per year):

Direct materials $ 10.70
Direct labor 5.50
Variable overhead 1.50
Fixed overhead ($3.70 general company overhead, $2.05 depreciation, and $1.00 supervision) 6.75
Total cost per drum $ 24.45

A decision about whether to make or buy the drums is especially important at this time because the equipment being used to make the drums is completely worn out and must be replaced. The choices facing the company are:

Alternative 1: Rent new equipment and continue to make the drums. The equipment would be rented for $255,000 per year.

Alternative 2: Purchase the drums from an outside supplier at $19 per drum.

The new equipment would be more efficient than the equipment that Antilles Refining has been using and, according to the manufacturer, would reduce direct labor and variable overhead costs by 30%. The old equipment has no resale value. Supervision cost ($85,000 per year) and direct materials cost per drum would not be affected by the new equipment. The new equipment’s capacity would be 125,000 drums per year.

The company’s total general company overhead would be unaffected by this decision.

Required:

1. Assuming that 85,000 drums are needed each year, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying the drums from an outside supplier?

2. Assuming that 100,000 drums are needed each year, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying the drums from an outside supplier?

3. Assuming that 125,000 drums are needed each year, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying the drums from an outside supplier?

Zachary Moran manages the cutting department of Greene Adams Company. He purchased a tree-cutting machine on January 1, 2018, for $500,000. The machine had an estimated useful life of 5 years and zero salvage value, and the cost to operate it is $104,000 per year. Technological developments resulted in the development of a more advanced machine available for purchase on January 1, 2019, that would allow a 20 percent reduction in operating costs. The new machine would cost $290,000 and have a 4-year useful life and zero salvage value. The current market value of the old machine on January 1, 2019, is $260,000, and its book value is $400,000 on that date. Straight-line depreciation is used for both machines. The company expects to generate $285,000 of revenue per year from the use of either machine.

Required

  1. Recommend whether to replace the old machine on January 1, 2019.

  2. Prepare income statements for four years (2019 through 2022) assuming that the old machine is retained.

  3. Prepare income statements for four years (2019 through 2022) assuming that the old machine is replaced.

Munoz Company is a retail company that specializes in selling outdoor camping equipment. The company is considering opening a new store on October 1, 2019. The company president formed a planning committee to prepare a master budget for the first three months of operation. As budget coordinator, you have been assigned the following tasks:

Required

  1. October sales are estimated to be $400,000, of which 45 percent will be cash and 55 percent will be credit. The company expects sales to increase at the rate of 20 percent per month. Prepare a sales budget.

  2. The company expects to collect 100 percent of the accounts receivable generated by credit sales in the month following the sale. Prepare a schedule of cash receipts.

  3. The cost of goods sold is 70 percent of sales. The company desires to maintain a minimum ending inventory equal to 20 percent of the next month’s cost of goods sold. However, ending inventory of December is expected to be $13,900. Assume that all purchases are made on account. Prepare an inventory purchases budget.

  4. The company pays 80 percent of accounts payable in the month of purchase and the remaining 20 percent in the following month. Prepare a cash payments budget for inventory purchases.

  5. Budgeted selling and administrative expenses per month follow:

Salary expense (fixed) $ 19,900
Sales commissions 4 % of Sales
Supplies expense 2 % of Sales
Utilities (fixed) $ 3,300
Depreciation on store fixtures (fixed)* $ 5,900
Rent (fixed) $ 6,700

*The capital expenditures budget indicates that Munoz will spend $180,600 on October 1 for store fixtures, which are expected to have a $39,000 salvage value and a two-year (24-month) useful life.

Use this information to prepare a selling and administrative expenses budget.

  1. Utilities and sales commissions are paid the month after they are incurred; all other expenses are paid in the month in which they are incurred. Prepare a cash payments budget for selling and administrative expenses.

  2. Munoz borrows funds, in increments of $1,000, and repays them on the last day of the month. Repayments may be made in any amount available. The company also pays its vendors on the last day of the month. It pays interest of 2 percent per month in cash on the last day of the month. To be prudent, the company desires to maintain a $31,000 cash cushion. Prepare a cash budget.

  3. Prepare a pro forma income statement for the quarter.

  4. Prepare a pro forma balance sheet at the end of the quarter.

  5. Prepare a pro forma statement of cash flows for the quarter.

Safe Inc. is a service firm that sells home security systems, which it installs and maintains. After the sales force makes initial contact with a new customer and completes the sale, setting up the new service requires two processes: (1) a home visit where the equipment is physically installed and (2) the remote connection from off-site at corporate headquarters. Given the different levels of skill and work required, Safe Inc. tracks costs separately for the Installation and Connection processes. Nevertheless, given the relative simplicity of these processes, Safe Inc. tracks them both on a single product cost report with one direct materials category for the equipment and two conversion cost categories for installation and connection services. Assume that all home installations are completed the same day they are started. After installation, there is sometimes a delay of up to two days before the remote connection is completed. However, in the ideal situation, both the home installation and connection are completed on the same day. What is Safe Inc.’s ending Cost of Contracts Completed and Incomplete Contracts for July, assuming it uses the FIFO costing method? Page 2 * The sales team closed 2,050 new security contracts during July. * Safe Inc. pays its suppliers $400, on average, to purchase one security system. However, the price experiences some variation due to fluctuations in suppliers cost of raw materials. * On average, the installation of each system requires approximately 3 labor hours and establishing and testing the connection requires 2 labor hours. However, Safe Inc. does encounter some variation across employees. * Labor and overhead costs for installation is approximately $20/hour. * Labor and overhead costs for connection costs approximately $35/hour. * Assume that the contracts outstanding at the beginning of July include $1,206 for equipment and $179 of installation costs. * Also assume that Safe Inc. actually incurs $816,270 for new equipment installed during July plus $119,652 of installation costs and $147,825 of connection-related costs. * At the beginning of July, Safe Inc. had 95 incomplete sales contracts. Of these incomplete contracts, 92 were awaiting both installation and connection and 3 had been installed but were still awaiting connection. * At the end of July, Safe Inc. had 120 incomplete sales contracts. Of these incomplete contracts, 114 jobs were awaiting both installation and connection and 6 jobs had been installed but were still awaiting connection.
