Budweiser is thinking about making wine… Expected sales per unit 230,000 bottles sold in the first...

Budweiser is thinking about making wine…

  • Expected sales per unit
    • 230,000 bottles sold in the first year. Sales revenue declines 10% per year (ie, sales growth = -10%)
  • Proposed selling price per bottle = $5.10. Variable cost per bottle = $2
  • Fixed costs = $230K/year in maintenance and labor
  • Budweiser also expects to lose $300K pretax per year (revenue net of expenses) from beer sales as people switch from beer to wine
  • Working capital necessary = $50K
  • Wine-making equipment would cost $750K, plus $50K in modifications required on the assembly line (included in depreciable basis)
    • depreciated 5-year MACRS
  • After five years, project ends as everyone realizes Budweiser wine is disgusting all remaining working capital recouped
    • wine-making equipment sold for $400,000
  • Tax rate = 30%
  • Assume any negative taxes can be treated as an immediate tax credit. (=treat negative taxes as a positive CF.)

Required return rate = 10%. Calculate the NPV and the IRR of the project. Should the company pursue this project?

Silver Company

Silver Company makes a product that is very popular as a Mother's Day gift. Thus, peak sales occur in May of each year, as shown in the company's sales budget for the second quarter given below:

 

 AprilMayJuneTotal
Budgeted sales (all on account)$400,000$600,000$190,000$1,190,000

From past experience, the company has learned that 30% of a month's sales are collected in the month of sale, another 60% are collected in the month following the sale, and the remaining 10% are collected in the second month following the sale. Bad debts are negligible and can be ignored. February sales totaled $330,000, and March sales totaled $360,000.

1. Prepare a schedule of expected cash collections from sales, by month and in total, for the second quarter.

2. Assume that the company will prepare a budgeted balance sheet as of June 30. Compute the accounts receivable as of that date.

Sales Budget

A sales budget is a plan prepared by the management to estimate the revenue generation of a company in a specific time period. It can be prepared in terms of the number of units to be sold or in terms of revenue generation. It is essential for the management to know the forecast of revenues to develop strategies and run the business efficiently.
