Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $225 and $175, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $6 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 130,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below:

Alpha Beta
Direct materials $ 42 $ 24
Direct labor 42 32
Variable manufacturing overhead 26 24
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 34 37
Variable selling expenses 31 27
Common fixed expenses 34 29
Total cost per unit $ 209 $ 173

The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

1. What is the total amount of traceable fixed manufacturing overhead for each of the two products, Alpha and Beta? and What is the company’s total amount of common fixed expenses?

2. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 99,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer who is willing to buy 29,000 additional Alphas for a price of $156 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the new customer's order?

3. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 109,000 Betas during the current year. One of Cane’s sales representatives has found a new customer who is willing to buy 5,000 additional Betas for a price of $82 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the new customer's order?

4. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 114,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer who is willing to buy 29,000 additional Alphas for a price of $156 per unit; however pursuing this opportunity will decrease Alpha sales to regular customers by 13,000 units. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the new customer’s order?

Photochronograph Corporation (PC) manufactures time series photographic equipment. It is currently at its target debt-equity ratio of .65. It’s considering building a new $74 million manufacturing facility. This new plant is expected to generate aftertax cash flows of $8.9 million in perpetuity. The company raises all equity from outside financing. There are three financing options:

1.

A new issue of common stock: The flotation costs of the new common stock would be 6.5 percent of the amount raised. The required return on the company’s new equity is 14 percent.

2.

A new issue of 20-year bonds: The flotation costs of the new bonds would be 2.8 percent of the proceeds. If the company issues these new bonds at an annual coupon rate of 7 percent, they will sell at par.

3.

Increased use of accounts payable financing: Because this financing is part of the company’s ongoing daily business, it has no flotation costs, and the company assigns it a cost that is the same as the overall firm WACC. Management has a target ratio of accounts payable to long-term debt of .15. (Assume there is no difference between the pretax and aftertax accounts payable cost.)

What is the NPV of the new plant? Assume that PC has a 22 percent tax rate. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,567.)

  1. Rockbottom Sand and Gravel Company has contracts to deliver the following amounts of broken rock to six customers:

Customer                                 A          B          C          D          E          F

Contracted amount (tons)         1          2          6          2          3          4

Rockbottom has five trucks that may be used to make these deliveries. With the use of dividers, a truck can deliver to multiple customers, as long as it does not exceed the truck’s capacity. However, a customer’s order cannot be broken up and delivered by multiple trucks. The available trucks and their capacities are:

Truck #                         1          2          3          4          5

Capacity (tons)              4          8          4          8          6

The costs, in $000s, for each truck to deliver the required load to each customer are:

     Customer

            Truck                A          B          C          D          E          F          

                 1                  17        19        21        20        20        21

                 2                  15        18        20        18        19        23

                 3                  18        19        22        22        21        22

                 4                  15        16        19        18        18        20

                 5                  16        15        20        22        19        20

Develop a linear program to determine the delivery plan that will allow Rockbottom to minimize the cost of fulfilling their contracts.
