You are a financial manager for Zoom Corp., which manufactures bicycles. In the most recent fiscal year,

Zoom manufactured and sold 20,000 bicycles. Wheels, seats, and brake calipers are three components of

the bicycles currently manufactured by Zoom. Three different vendors have proposed to provide those

components to Zoom, and quoted prices (including shipping) for their delivery. Your task is to determine

which, if any, of these proposals should be accepted.

Prepare a make vs. buy incremental analysis for each possible course of action in an Excel worksheet. Your

grade will be based on the correctness of your answers, as well as the use of Excel. That is, where possible,

you should use formulas to get your answers, rather than keyed-in values. See your instructor for help with

Excel basics if you need it.

In a Word document, prepare a memo stating which of the proposals you suggest accepting, as well as the

basis for your conclusions. Also identify any nonfinancial factors you should consider before accepting any

of the outsourcing proposals.

Below is cost data for Zoom's production of wheels, seats, and calipers. Outside suppliers have offered to

provide wheels for $7.26, seats for $7.76, and calipers for $2.56 per piece. Both wheels and seats are branded

with the Zoom logo, and that logo will need to be added at the Zoom factory at a cost of $0.50 each for any

of these components that are outsourced. For all three components, 75% of the fixed costs are avoidable, and

will be eliminated if the component's production is outsourced. In addition, seats and calipers are both

produced out of the same small factory space. If both seats and calipers were outsourced, Zoom could lease

the space out and increase net income by $6,000 per year, while eliminating all fixed costs for the two

components.

Hints: Prepare incremental analyses for each component separately. Make wheels vs. buy wheels, etc. Since

there are additional implications to outsourcing both seats and calipers, do a make vs. buy analysis assuming

both are outsourced. A correct solution, then, will likely have at least four incremental analyses.

The following data relate to the operations of love Company, a wholesale distributor of consumer goods:

1. The gross margin is 25% of sales.

2. Actual and budgeted sales data:

3. Sales are 60% for cash and 40% on credit. Credit sales are collected in the month following sale. The accounts receivable at March 31 are a result of March credit sales.

4. Each month’s ending inventory should equal 80% of the following month’s budgeted cost of goods sold.

5. One-half of a month’s inventory purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other half is paid for in the following month. The accounts payable at March 31 are the result of March purchases of inventory.

6. Monthly expenses are as follows: commissions, 12% of sales; rent, $4,000 per month; other expenses (excluding depreciation), 6% of sales. Assume that these expenses are paid monthly. Depreciation is $783 per month (includes depreciation on new assets).

7. Equipment costing $3,200 will be purchased for cash in April.

8. Management would like to maintain a minimum cash balance of at least $4,000 at the end of each month. The company has an agreement with a local bank that allows the company to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan balance of $20,000. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month and for simplicity we will assume that interest is not compounded. The company would, as far as it is able, repay the loan plus accumulated interest at the end of the quarter.

Using the preceding data:

Prepare a balance sheet as of June 30.

Discuss 3 risks and 3 benefits of cloud-based computing especially as it relates to the expenditure cycle of an organization.

Question (a): Prior to liquidating their partnership, Perkins and Brooks had capital accounts of $46,000 and $74,000, respectively. Prior to liquidation, the partnership had no cash assets other than what was realized from the sale of assets. These partnership assets were sold for $144,000. The partnership had $5,000 of liabilities. Perkins and Brooks share income and losses equally. Determine the amount received by Brooks as a final distribution from liquidation of the partnership.

Question (b): Steve Conyers and Chelsy Poodle formed a partnership, dividing income as follows: Annual salary allowance to Poodle of $170,500. Interest of 6% on each partner's capital balance on January 1. Any remaining net income divided to Conyers and Poodle, 1:2. Conyers and Poodle had $77,600 and $75,000, respectively, in their January 1 capital balances. Net income for the year was $310,000. How much is distributed to Conyers and Poodle?

Question (c): On January 1, 2016, Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments had a zero balance. On December 31, 2016, the cost of the available-for-sale securities was $84,200, and the fair value was $77,810.

Derek and Meagan Jacoby recently graduated from State University and Derek accepted a job in business consulting while Meagan accepted a job in computer programming. Meagan inherited $75,000 from her grandfather who recently passed away. The couple is debating whether they should buy or rent a home. They located a rental home that meets their needs. The monthly rent is $2,250. They also found a three-bedroom home that would cost $475,000 to purchase. The Jacobys could use Meagan’s inheritance for a down payment on the home. Thus, they would need to borrow $400,000 to acquire the home. They have the option of paying 2 discount points to receive a fixed interest rate of 4.50 percent on the loan or paying no points and receiving a fixed interest rate of 5.75 percent for a 30-year fixed loan.

Though anything could happen, the couple expects to live in the home for no more than five years before relocating to a different region of the country. Derek and Meagan don’t have any school-related debt, so they will save the $75,000 if they don’t purchase a home. Also, consider the following information:

• The couple’s marginal tax rate is 24 percent.
• Regardless of whether they buy or rent, the couple will itemize their deductions.
• If they buy, the Jacobys would purchase and move into the home on January 1, 2018.
• If they buy the home, the property taxes for the year are $3,600.
• Disregard loan-related fees not mentioned above.
• If the couple does not buy a home, they will put their money into their savings account where they earn 5 percent annual interest.
• Assume that all unstated costs are equal between the buy and rent option.

Required: Help the Jacobys with their decisions by answering the following questions: (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)

a. If the Jacobys decide to rent the home, what is their after-tax cost of the rental for the first year? (include income from the savings account in your analysis.)

b. What is the approximate break-even point in years for paying the points to receive a reduced interest rate? (To simplify this computation, assume the Jacobys will make interest-only payments, and ignore the time value of money.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 1 decimal place.)

c. What is the after-tax cost (in interest and property taxes) of living in the home for 2018? Assume that the Jacobys' interest rate is 5.75 percent, they do not pay discount points, they make interest-only payments for the first year, and the value of the home does not change during the year.

d. Assume that on March 1, 2018, the Jacobys sold their home for $525,000, so that Derek and Meagan could accept job opportunities in a different state. The Jacobys used the sale proceeds to (1) pay off the $400,000 principal of the mortgage, (2) pay a $10,000 commission to their real estate broker, and (3) make a down payment on a new home in the different state. However, the new home cost only $300,000. Assume they make interest-only payments on the loan.

Required:

1. d1. What gain or loss do the Jacobys realize and recognize on the sale of their home?
2. d2. What amount of taxes must they pay on the gain, if any?
