Trademark Inc. is planning to set up a new manufacturing plant in New York to produce safety tools. The company bought some land six years ago for $4.3 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would sell for $4.6 million on an after-tax basis. In four years, the land could be sold for $4.8 million after taxes. The company hired a marketing firm to analyze the market at a cost of $250,000. Here is the summary of marketing report: We believe that the company will be able to sell 5,600, 6,300, 7,200, and 5,900 units each year for the next four years, respectively. We believe that $550 can be charged for each unit. We believe at the end of the four-year period, sales should be discontinued. The company believes that fixed costs for the project will be $615,000 per year. Variable costs are $462,000, $519,750, $594,000, 486,750 each year for the next four years, respectively. The equipment necessary for production will cost $2.5 million and will be depreciated according to a three-year MACRS schedule. At the end of the project, the equipment can be scrapped for $450,000. Net working capital of $325,000 will be required immediately. The company has a 21 percent tax rate, and the required return on the project is 9 percent.

Which of the following is true

$250,000 is an incremental cash flow and it will be part of the total project cash flow of year zero as an outflow.

$4,300,000 is an incremental cash flow since it is the original cost of land.

$4,800,000 is an opportunity cost and it will be part of the project cash flow of year zero as an outflow.

$4,600,000 is an opportunity cost and it will be part of the total project cash flow of year zero as an outflow.

$4,300,000 and $250,000 are sunk costs and they will be part of the total project cash flow of year zero as outflows.

Starfax, Inc., manufactures a small part that is widely used in various electronic products such as home computers. Operating results for the first three years of activity were as follows (absorption costing basis):

  

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
  Sales $ 1,100,000   $ 880,000 $ 1,100,000   
  Cost of goods sold 835,000   588,000 885,000   
  Gross margin 265,000 292,000 215,000   
  Selling and administrative expenses 260,000   220,000 260,000   
  Net operating income (loss) $ 5,000 $ 72,000 $ (45,000)   

  

    In the latter part of Year 2, a competitor went out of business and in the process dumped a large number of units on the market. As a result, Starfax’s Sales dropped by 20% during Year 2 even though production increased during the year. Management had expected sales to remain constant at 50,000 units; the increased production was designed to provide the company with a buffer of protection against unexpected spurts in demand. By the start of Year 3, management could see that inventory was excessive and that spurts in demand were unlikely. To reduce the excessive inventories, Starfax cut back production during Year 3, as shown below:

  

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
  Production in units 50,000    60,000    40,000   
  Sales in units 50,000    40,000    50,000   

  

Additional information about the company follows:
a.

The company’s plant is highly automated. Variable manufacturing expenses (direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead) total only $4.70 per unit, and fixed manufacturing overhead expenses total $600,000 per year.

b.

Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are applied to units of product on the basis of each year’s production. That is, a new fixed manufacturing overhead rate is computed each year.

c.

Variable selling and administrative expenses were $4 per unit sold in each year. Fixed selling and administrative expenses totaled $60,000 per year.

d. The company uses a FIFO inventory flow assumption.

  

    Starfax’s management can’t understand why profits doubled during Year 2 when sales dropped by 20%, and why a loss was incurred during Year 3 when sales recovered to previous levels.

2a.

Compute the unit product cost in each year under absorption costing.

2b.

Reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing net operating income for each year.

5b.

If Lean Production had been used during Year 2 and Year 3 and the predetermined overhead rate is based on 50,000 units per year, what would the company’s net operating income (or loss) have been in each year under absorption costing?

Suppose a company wants to decide whether to lease or purchase an asset.

Purchase: The capital cost required to purchase the asset is $1,000,000 (at time zero) with a salvage value of $500,000 at the end of the 5th year. The purchased asset can be depreciated based on MACRS 5-year life depreciation with the half year convention (table A-1 at IRS (https://www.irs.gov/publications/p946) over six years (from year 0 to year 5).

Lease: The asset can be leased for 5 years and annual operating lease payments (LP) of $250,000 (from year 1 to year 5).

The asset would yield the annual revenue of $350,000 for five years (from year 1 to year 5) and operating cost of $60,000 for year 1 to 5.

Considering income tax of 35% and minimum ROR of 16%, calculate the ATCF and NPV for both alternatives and conclude which alternative is a better decision.

Keiper, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.7 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $2,080,000 in annual sales, with costs of $775,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $300,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $210,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the project’s year 0 net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
