Paramel Beverages bottles two soft drinks under licence to Cadaver Ltd. at its Newcastle plant. Bottling at this plant is highly repetitive, automated process. Empty bottles are removed from their carton, placed on a conveyor, and cleaned, rinsed, dried, filled, capped and heated (to reduce condensation). The only stock held is direct materials or else finished goods. There is no work in process. The two soft drinks bottled by Paramel Beverages are lemonade and diet lemonade. The syrup for both soft drinks is purchase from Cadaver Ltd. Syrup for the regular brand contains a higher sugar content than the syrup for the diet brand. Paramel Beverages uses a lot size of 1,000 cases as the unit of analysis in its budget. (Each case contains 24 bottles). Direct materials are expressed in terms of lots, where one lot of direct materials is the input necessary to yield one lot (1,000 cases) of beverage. In 2010, the following purchase prices ae forecast for direct materials: Lemonade Diet Lemonade Syrup $1,200 per lot $1,100 per lot Containers (bottles, caps, etc.) $1,000 per lot $1,000 per lot Packaging $800 per lot $800 per lot The two soft drinks are bottled using the same equipment. The equipment is cleaned daily, but it is only rinsed when a switch is made during the day between diet lemonade and 3 lemonade. Diet lemonade is always bottled first each day to reduce the risk of sugar contamination. The only difference in the bottling process for the two drinks is syrup. Summary data used in developing budgets for 2010 are as follows: a Sales • Lemonade, 1080 lots at $9,000 selling price per lot • Diet lemonade, 540 lots at $8,500 selling price per lot b Opening (1 January 2010) stock of direct materials • Syrup for lemonade, 80 lots at $1,100 purchase price per lot • Syrup for diet lemonade, 70 lots at $1,000 purchase price per lot • Containers, 200 lots at $950 purchase price per lot • Packaging, 400 lots at $900 purchase price per lot c Opening (1 January 2010) stock of finished goods • Lemonade, 100 lots at $5,300 per lot • Diet lemonade, 50 lots at $5,200 per lot d Target closing (31 December 2010) stock of direct materials • Syrup for lemonade, 30 lots. • Syrup for diet lemonade, 20 lots. • Containers, 100 lots. • Packaging, 200 lots. e Target closing (31 December 2010) stock of finished goods • Lemonade, 20 lots. • Diet lemonade, 10 lots. f Each lot requires 20 direct manufacturing labour hours at the 2010 budgeted rate of $25 per hour. Indirect manufacturing labour costs are included in the manufacturing overhead budget. g Variable manufacturing overhead is forecast to be $600 per hour of bottling time; bottling time is the time the filling equipment is in operation. It takes 2 hours to bottle 4 one lot of lemonade and 2 hours to bottle one lot of diet lemonade. Fixed manufacturing overhead is forecast to be $1,200,000 for 2010. h Hours of budgeted bottling time is the sole allocation base for all fixed manufacturing overheads. I Administration costs are forecast to be 10% of the cost of goods manufactured for 2010. Marketing costs are forecast to be 12% of sales for 2010. Distributions costs are forecast to be 8% of sales for 2010. Required: Assume Paramel Beverages uses the first in– first out (FIFO) method of costing all stock. On the basis of the preceding data, prepare the following budgets (in units and/or dollars as applicable) for 2010: 7. Closing finished goods stock budget 8. Cost of goods sold budget 9. Marketing cost budget (1 mark) 10. Distribution cost budget (1 mark) 11. Administration cots budget 12. Budgeted profit & loss.

Delsing Canning Company is considering an expansion of its facilities. Its current income statement is as follows:

The company is currently financed with 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity (common stock, par value of $10). In order to expand the facilities, Mr. Delsing estimates a need for $3.6 million in additional financing. His investment banker has laid out three plans for him to consider:

1. Sell $3.6 million of debt at 12 percent.
2. Sell $3.6 million of common stock at $30 per share.
3. Sell $1.80 million of debt at 11 percent and $1.80 million of common stock at $40 per share.

Variable costs are expected to stay at 50 percent of sales, while fixed expenses will increase to $2,460,000 per year. Delsing is not sure how much this expansion will add to sales, but he estimates that sales will rise by $1 million per year for the next five years

Delsing is interested in a thorough analysis of his expansion plans and methods of financing.He would like you to analyze the following:

a. The break-even point for operating expenses before and after expansion (in sales dollars). (Enter your answers in dollars not in millions, i.e, $1,234,567.)

b. The degree of operating leverage before and after expansion. Assume sales of $6.6 million before expansion and $7.6 million after expansion. Use the formula: DOL = (S − TVC) / (S − TVC − FC). (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

c-1. The degree of financial leverage before expansion. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

c-2. The degree of financial leverage for all three methods after expansion. Assume sales of $7.6 million for this question. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

d. Compute EPS under all three methods of financing the expansion at $7.6 million in sales (first year) and $10.5 million in sales (last year). (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
