1. Explain the concept of profit maximization when the marginal revenue equals marginal cost
2. Differentiate: Average Fixed Cost, Average Variable Cost, and Average Total Cost
In: Economics
In 2018, X Company's revenue-based profit function was 0.35R - $76,800. Only one change is expected in 2019, a 10% decrease in total fixed costs. What must revenue be in 2019 for X Company to earn $38,000?
In 2018, X Company sold 5,000 units of its only product for
$35.70 each. Unit costs were as follows:
| Variable manufacturing | $15.30 | ||
| Fixed manufacturing | 3.21 | ||
| Variable selling | 5.13 | ||
| Fixed selling | 3.43 | ||
| Total | 27.07 | ||
In 2019, the selling price, variable costs per unit, and total
fixed costs are not expected to change. Assuming a tax rate of 31%,
how many units must X Company sell in 2019 in order to earn $64,000
after taxes?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X Company, a merchandiser, had the following income statement
for 2018:
| Sales | $210,418 |
| Cost of goods sold | 116,728 |
| Gross margin | $93,690 |
| Other operating expenses | 45,123 |
| Profit | $48,567 |
$97,828 of the cost of goods sold were variable, and $28,423 of the
other operating expenses were variable. If cost behavior in 2019 is
expected to continue as it did in 2018, what must total sales be in
2019 in order for X Company to break even?

You are a manager at Percolated Fiber, which is considering expanding its operations in synthetic fiber manufacturing. Your boss comes into your office, drops a consultant's report on your desk, and complains, "We owe these consultants
$1.4
million for this report, and I am not sure their analysis makes sense. Before we spend the
$15
million on new equipment needed for this project, look it over and give me your opinion." You open the report and find the following estimates (in millions of dollars):
All of the estimates in the report seem correct. You note that the consultants used straight-line depreciation for the new equipment that will be purchased today (year 0), which is what the accounting department recommended. The report concludes that because the project will increase earnings by
$6.800
million per year for ten years, the project is worth
$68 million
. You think back to your halcyon days in finance class and realize there is more work to be done!
First, you note that the consultants have not factored in the fact that the project will require
$7 million in working capital upfront (year 0), which will be fully recovered in year 10. Next, you see they have attributed
$1.2 million of selling, general and administrative expenses to the project, but you know that
$0.6 million of this amount is overhead that will be incurred even if the project is not accepted. Finally, you know that accounting earnings are not the right thing to focus on!
a. Given the available information, what are the free cash flows in years 0 through 10 that should be used to evaluate the proposed project?
b. If the cost of capital for this project is
13%,
what is your estimate of the value of the new project?
