Barbour Corporation, located in Buffalo, New York, is a retailer of hightech products and is known for its excellent quality and innovation. Recently the firm conducted a relevant cost analysis of one of its product that has only two products, T-1 and T-2. The sales for T-2 are decreasing and the purchase costs are increasing. The firm might drop T-2 and sell only T-1.

     Barbour allocates fixed costs to products on the basis of sales revenue. When the president of Barbour saw the income statement, he agreed that T-2 should be dropped. If this is done, sales of T-1 are expected to increase by 10% next year; the firm’s cost structure will remain the same.

T1 T2
SALES $295,000 $336,000
VARIABLE COGS 89,000 168,000
CONTRIBUTION MARGIN 206,000 168,000

FIXED CORPORATE COSTS 79,000 94,000
VARIABLE SELLING / ADMIN 29,000 69,000
FIXED SELLING / ADMIN 31,000 40,000
TOTAL EXPENSES: 139,000

203,000

OPERATING INCOME/LOSS 67,000 (35,000)

1. Find the expected change in annual operating income by dropping T-2 and selling only T-1.

2. By what percentage would sales from T-1 have to increase in order to make up the financial loss form dropping T-2? Round to 2 decimal places.

3. What is the required percentage increase in sales from T-1 to compensate for lost margin from T-2, if total fixed costs can be reduced to $57,000? Round to 2 decimal places.

8.4 An airline is choosing between two engine systems for its planes. Each has the same useful life and the same repair record and maintenance costs.

? System A costs US$2 million and uses 30,000 gallons per 1,000 hours of operation at the average load of passenger service.

? System B costs US$3 million and uses 20,000 gallons per 1,000 hours of operation at the same level of passenger service.

In addition, the following information is relevant to both engine systems:

? Both systems have four-year lives before any major overhaul is required. At the end of the fourth year, each system has a salvage value equal to 10% of its initial investment.

? The fuel consumption of both systems is expected to increase at a rate of 5% per year because of degrading engine efficiency.

? The price of jet fuel on 31 March 2017 was US$15 per gallon. The airline will use this price to evaluate the two systems.

? The airline will assume 2,000 hours of operation per year and use a MARR of 10%.

Use the annual worth (AW) method to compare the two engine systems. Which one should the airline choose? Explain your answers in the following steps:

a) Calculate the annual equivalent cost of fuel (AWA(10%)fuel) for System A.

b) Calculate the total annual equivalent cost (AWA(10%)) of System A.

c) Calculate the annual equivalent cost of fuel (AWB(10%)fuel) for System B.

d) Calculate the total annual equivalent cost (AWB(10%)) of System B.

e) State your conclusion.

f) If the airline expects the price of jet fuel to rise significantly in the near future, will it make the same choice? Explain your answer briefly without any calculation.
