Differential Analysis for Further Processing

The management of International Aluminum Co. is considering whether to process aluminum ingot further into rolled aluminum. Rolled aluminum can be sold for $2,200 per ton, and ingot can be sold without further processing for $1,100 per ton. Ingot is produced in batches of 80 tons by smelting 500 tons of bauxite, which costs $105 per ton of bauxite. Rolled aluminum will require additional processing costs of $620 per ton of ingot, and 1.25 tons of ingot will produce 1 ton of rolled aluminum (due to trim losses).

Required:

1. Prepare a differential analysis as of February 5 to determine whether to sell aluminum ingot (Alternative 1) or process further into rolled aluminum (Alternative 2). Use a minus sign to indicate subtracted amounts, negative amounts, or a loss.

Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $39 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:

*One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value).

Required:

1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 21,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted? yes or no

3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $210,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 21,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted? yes or no

Having trouble trying to solve these:

3. Calculate the internal rate of return for each product. (Round percentage answers to 1 decimal place. i.e. 0.1234 should be considered as 12.3% and round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places.)

4. Calculate the project profitability index for each product. (Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

5. Calculate the simple rate of return for each product. (Round percentage answers to 1 decimal place. i.e. 0.1234 should be considered as 12.3%.)

6a. For each measure, identify whether Product A or Product B is preferred.
