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:

Pessimistic Expected Optimistic
Price Quantity Price Quantity Price Quantity
Sleepeze $173 12,700 $188 15,600 $188 17,960
Plushette 302 10,130 349 12,700 363 14,440
Ultima 890 2,170 980 5,100 1,200 5,100

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:


Gene
Research
Assistant
Administrative
Assistant
Research - 75 % -
Shipping 30 % - 15 %
Jobbers 10 10 25
Basic ads - 15 40
Ultima ads 35 - 5
Office management 25 - 15

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.

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 5th 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 5th year and other items in the initial investment remain the same).
  6. Calculate the Operational Cash Flow (OCF) of the 3rd year of this project.

The text states, "Over sufficiently long time periods, net income equals cash inflows minus cash outflows, other than cash flows with owners." Demonstrate the accuracy of this statement in the following scenario: Two friends contributed $50,000 each to form a new business. The owners used the amounts contributed to purchase a machine for $100,000 cash. They estimated that the useful life of the machine was five years and the salvage value was $20,000. They rented out the machine to a customer for an annual rental of $25,000 a year for five years. Annual cash operating costs for insurance, taxes, and other items totaled $6,000 annually. At the end of the fifth year, the owners sold the equipment for $22,000, instead of the $20,000 salvage value initially estimated. (Hint: Compute the total net income and the total cash flows other than cash flows with owners for the five-year period as a whole.)

Milden Company has an exclusive franchise to purchase a product from the manufacturer and distribute it on the retail level. As an aid in planning, the company has decided to start using a contribution format income statement. To have data to prepare such a statement, the company has analyzed its expenses and has developed the following cost formulas:

  Cost Cost Formula
  Cost of good sold    $26 per unit sold
  Advertising expense    $183,000 per quarter
  Sales commissions    7% of sales
  Shipping expense    ?
  Administrative salaries    $93,000 per quarter
  Insurance expense    $10,300 per quarter
  Depreciation expense    $63,000 per quarter

Management has concluded that shipping expense is a mixed cost, containing both variable and fixed cost elements. Units sold and the related shipping expense over the last eight quarters follow:

  Quarter     Units Sold Shipping
Expense
  Year 1:
      First 29,000    $ 173,000
      Second 31,000      $ 188,000
      Third 36,000      $ 230,000
      Fourth 32,000      $ 193,000
  Year 2:
      First 30,000    $ 183,000
      Second 33,000    $ 198,000
      Third 47,000    $ 245,000
      Fourth 44,000     $ 221,000

Milden Company’s president would like a cost formula derived for shipping expense so that a budgeted contribution format income statement can be prepared for the next quarter.

2. In the first quarter of Year 3, the company plans to sell 35,000 units at a selling price of $56 per unit. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the quarter. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
