An existing turning operation in an small parts manufacturing plant is currently generating 25% scrap. The value of the scrap including material, labor and overhead costs is $20.00/unit. The current rate of process is 2000 units / month of both good an bad product. The existing equipment was purchased 5 years ago for $500,000. Current operating costs are $20,000 per year. The equipment's market value currently is $150,000. It has 4 more years of life remaining.

A quality improvement team has determined that the scrap rate can be reduced to 7% if new tooling and major overhaul work could be performed and some of the major components be replaced. The improvements would also reduce the annual operating costs to $15,000 per year.

If the organization requires a 20% IRR what is the maximum that could be spent on the equipment to reduce the scrap rate?

Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $240,845. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7:

Year 1 $391,000
2 399,100
3 411,000
4 426,000
5 433,200
6 435,300
7 436,500


The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $379,800. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $94,900 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%.



Use the net present value method to determine the following: (If net present value is negative then enter with negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45). Round present value answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.)

A dynamometer test lab currently has 45 computers with 20 printers. The computers cost $3,500 each and the printers were $350 each when purchased 2 years ago. The market value of the computers is estimated at $750 each today and the printers $75 each today. It is expected that the current equipment will last another 4 years and have no salvage value at that time. Operating expenses are $350 for each computer and $150 for each printer per year.

A new networked system is being considered that would have 45 terminal with a cost of $2.500 each; 7 printers would be purchased at $1000 each. The life of the new system is 6 years with a salvage value of $500 for the terminals and $400 for the printers at the end of that time. Operating expenses for the networked system are $6,000 per year.

Krandolph Metals, Inc., is a manufacturer of aluminum cans for the beverage industry. Krandolph

purchases aluminum and other raw materials from several vendors. The purchasing process at

Krandolph occurs as follows:

When inventory of any raw material seems low, a purchasing agent examines the records to

determine the vendor who supplied the last purchase of that raw material. The purchasing agent

prepares a three

copy PO and mails the top copy to the vendor. One copy is filed in the purchasing

department, and one copy is forwarded to the inventory control department (inventory record

keeping). Inventory control personnel update the inventory subsidiary ledger and file the PO by

number in the inventory control files.

When the goods arrive at the receiving dock, a receiving report is prepared from information on

the packing slip. One copy of the receiving report is filed in the receiving department, and one

copy is forwarded to purchasing so that the purchasing department is informed of the receipt of

goods.

The vendor mails an invoice for the raw materials directly to the accounts payable department.

When the invoice is received, accounts payable personnel prepare a cash disbursement voucher to

approve payment. The voucher is forwarded to the cash disbursements department. The accounts

payable department also updates the accounts payable subsidiary ledger and files the invoice by

invoice number.

Upon receiving the cash disbursement voucher, an employee in the cash disbursements department

prepares a two

copy check. The top copy of the check is mailed to the vendor, and the second copy

is forwarded to the general ledger department. The cash disbursement voucher is stamped “paid”

and returned to the accounts payable department. The voucher is filed with the invoice in the

accounts payable department.

The general ledger department records the check in the general ledger and returns the check copy

to the cash disbursements department, where it is filed.

2. Draw two BPDs to reflect the business processes at Krandolph. One BPD should depict the

purchasing processes, and the second BPD should depict the cash disbursements processes.

Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company...

Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 50,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:

Unit Total
Direct materials $ 20 $ 1,000,000
Direct labor 8 400,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 3 150,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead 7 350,000
Variable selling expense 2 100,000
Fixed selling expense 6 300,000
Total cost $ 46 $ 2,300,000

The Rets normally sell for $51 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $350,000 per year within the range of 45,000 through 50,000 Rets per year.

Required:

1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 45,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 5,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 5,000 units. This machine would cost $10,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 45,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 5,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.20 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?

3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 50,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army’s order would require giving up regular sales of 5,000 Rets. Given this new information, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?

1. Financial advantage

3. Financial (disadvantage)
