Scholes Systems supplies a particular type of office chair to large retailers such as Target, Costco, and Office Max. Scholes is concerned about the possible effects of inflation on its operations. Presently, the company sells 96,000 units for $60 per unit. The variable production costs are $30, and fixed costs amount to $1,560,000. Production engineers have advised management that they expect unit labor costs to rise by 20 percent and unit materials costs to rise by 5 percent in the coming year. Of the $30 variable costs, 60 percent are from labor and 20 percent are from materials. Variable overhead costs are expected to increase by 25 percent. Sales prices cannot increase more than 10 percent. It is also expected that fixed costs will rise by 6 percent as a result of increased taxes and other miscellaneous fixed charges. The company wishes to maintain the same level of profit in real dollar terms. It is expected that to accomplish this objective, profits must increase by 7 percent during the year. Required: a. Compute the volume in units and the dollar sales level necessary to maintain the present profit level, assuming that the maximum price increase is implemented. b. Compute the volume of sales and the dollar sales level necessary to provide the 7 percent increase in profits, assuming that the maximum price increase is implemented. c. If the volume of sales were to remain at 96,000 units, what price change would be required to attain the 7 percent increase in profits? Calculate the new price.

Jackpot Mining Company operates a copper mine in central Montana. The company paid $2,000,000 in 2018 for the mining site and spent an additional $800,000 to prepare the mine for extraction of the copper. After the copper is extracted in approximately four years, the company is required to restore the land to its original condition, including repaving of roads and replacing a greenbelt. The company has provided the following three cash flow possibilities for the restoration costs (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.):

To aid extraction, Jackpot purchased some new equipment on July 1, 2018, for $160,000. After the copper is removed from this mine, the equipment will be sold for an estimated residual amount of $40,000. There will be no residual value for the copper mine. The credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest is 15%.

The company expects to extract 12.0 million pounds of copper from the mine. Actual production was 3.6 million pounds in 2018 and 5.0 million pounds in 2019.

Required:
1. Compute depletion and depreciation on the mine and mining equipment for 2018 and 2019. The units-of-production method is used to calculate depreciation. (The expected format for rounding is presented in the appropriate rows of the table. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.)

V & T Faces, Inc., would like to open a retail store in Miami. The initial investment to purchase the building is $420,000, and an additional $50,000 in working capital is required. Since this store will be operating for many years, the working capital will not be returned in the near future.

V & T Faces expects to remodel the store at the end of 3 years at a cost of $100,000. Annual net cash receipts from daily operations (cash receipts minus cash payments) are expected to be as follows:

The company’s required rate of return is 13 percent. Assume management decided to limit the analysis to 7 years.
