Activity-Based Budget

Olympus, Inc., manufactures three models of mattresses: the Sleepeze, the Plushette, and the Ultima. Forecast sales for next year are 15,600 for the Sleepeze, 12,700 for the Plushette, and 5,100 for the Ultima. Gene Dixon, vice president of sales, has provided the following information:

1. Salaries for his office (including himself at $64,250, a marketing research assistant at $36,350, and an administrative assistant at $25,650) are budgeted for $126,250 next year.
2. Depreciation on the offices and equipment is $18,550 per year.
3. Office supplies and other expenses total $23,350 per year.
4. Advertising has been steady at $19,400 per year. However, the Ultima is a new product and will require extensive advertising to educate consumers on the unique features of this high-end mattress. Gene believes the company should spend 10 percent of first-year Ultima sales for a print and television campaign.
5. Commissions on the Sleepeze and Plushette lines are 3 percent of sales. These commissions are paid to independent jobbers who sell the mattresses to retail stores.
6. Last year, shipping for the Sleepeze and Plushette lines averaged $45 per unit sold. Gene expects the Ultima line to ship for $80 per unit sold since this model features a larger mattress.

Suppose that Gene is considering three sales scenarios as follows:

Suppose Gene determines that next year's Sales Division activities include the following:

Research—researching current and future conditions in the industry

Shipping—arranging for shipping of mattresses and handling calls from purchasing agents at retail stores to trace shipments and correct errors

Jobbers—coordinating the efforts of the independent jobbers who sell the mattresses

Basic ads—placing print and television ads for the Sleepeze and Plushette lines

Ultima ads—choosing and working with the advertising agency on the Ultima account

Office management—operating the Sales Division office

The percentage of time spent by each employee of the Sales Division on each of the above activities is given in the following table:

Additional information is as follows:

1. Depreciation on the office equipment belongs to the office management activity.
2. Of the $23,350 for office supplies and other expenses, $4,600 can be assigned to telephone costs which can be split evenly between the shipping and jobbers' activities. An additional $2,300 per year is attributable to Internet connections and fees, and the bulk of these costs (75 percent) are assignable to research. The remainder is a cost of office management. All other office supplies and costs are assigned to the office management activity.

Required:

1. Prepare an activity-based budget for next year by activity. Use the expected level of sales activity. If required, round answers to the nearest dollar.

2. On the basis of the budget prepared in Requirement 1, advise Gene regarding actions that might be taken to reduce expenses.

The company Smart Inc. is a company that produces T-shirts in Toronto area. The results of the company which has been mediocre for the past couple of years have been presented in the annual financial statement.

Sales (1 million units x 16$) 16 000 000$

Fixed Costs (10 000 000)

Variable Costs (1 million units x 10$) (10 000 000)

Depreciation (3 000 000)

Annual Profit (loss) (7 000 000)

According to the experts, this loss has been caused by the poor performance of the equipment in the factory. They suggest to the board of directors to replace the old equipment by new ones. Considering following information, the board of directors asks you to evaluate this project for the company.

• The new equipments would increase the level of production and allow the company to avoid this loss entirely, but there is no projection concerning any profit. The purchase (including the installation) of the new equipment requires an initial investment for an amount of 18 000 000$. The old equipment can be sold in the beginning of project on the market for 1 500 000$ (For simplification, consider this amount as an exchange value).

• The new equipment will be sold for 2 000 000$ in 10 years (end of project). The purchase of the equipment requires a new issue of long term bonds with a coupon rate of 8% over 10 years. The project also requires major renovation of the old building for the amount of 500 000$ and an additional investment in heavy machinery for the total amount of 1 000 000$ at the end of 5^th year (Both amounts are depreciable with declining method under the tax law).
• The project requires the purchase of a land for 1 200 000$ which will be sold in 10 years (end of project) for 2 200 000$. Suppose that at this moment 50% of capital gains are tax-free under tax law.

• The company also has to build a new building for an amount of 2 400 000$ which will be sold at the end of the project for 3 200 000$. This amount is depreciable with declining method.

• The project also requires an additional investment in new Computers and furniture for a total amount of 400 000$ in the beginning of project. Computers and furniture have to be replaced by new ones after 5 years for the amount of 600 000$. The do not have any salvage value.

• At the present time, supplier account and client account are at 1 000 000$ each. The project would increase client account and decrease supplier account by 50%. All related accounts will return to zero at the end of project.

• At the present time, Smart Inc is renting a warehouse for the annual rent of 50 000$ (paid at the end of year). If the company undertakes the new project, they will need to cancel the lease of the old warehouse and to rent a larger warehouse for the annual rent of 200 000$ (to be paid annually at the end of each year). The cancellation of the old lease does not cause any penalty.

• The project also requires 5 new technicians today with annual salary of 60 000$ for each and 5 other technicians in 5 years for annual salary of 75 000$ each. Given the performance of new equipment, Smart Inc could lay off 80 employees whose annual salaries is 40 000$. The lay-offs will oblige the company to pay lay-off premiums in the amount of 10 000$ to each employee which will be tax deductible.

The corporate tax rate is at 40%. The new equipment and new heavy machinery are in the category with a depreciation of 20%, the major renovations are depreciated at 25%, the new building is depreciated at 10%, all items depreciations are calculated with decreasing (declining) method. The computers and furniture are depreciated by linear method at 20%. Investors require 12% return on this type of project. Given this information, answer the following questions:

Questions:

1. Identify ONE BY ONE each item of the investment and calculate separately the present value of the total investment in this project.
2. Identify ONE BY ONE and calculate separately the present value of each periodical cash flow (annual incomes and expenses) during the project.
3. Identify ONE BY ONE and calculate separately the present value of each cash flow of the end of the project.
4. Calculate the Net Present Value of this project (You just have to add up your responses in 1, 2 and 3 for this one).
5. Calculate the maximum price that Smart Inc can afford to invest in the new equipment in the beginning of project in order to keep the project profitable. (That means the additional investment at the end of 5^th year and other items in the initial investment remain the same).
6. Calculate the Operational Cash Flow (OCF) of the 3^rd year of this project.
