CHAPTER 9 CASE Jackson Erectors Making Capital Investment Decisions
Jackson Erectors is a midsized electronics manufacturer located in Austin, Texas. The company president is Shelly Couts, who inherited the company. The company originally repaired radios and other household appliances when it was founded more than 70 years ago. Over the years, the company has expanded, and it is now an established manufacturer of various specialty electronic items. The company’s finance department has hired YOU, a recent MBA graduate to do an analysis of a proposed new product.
One of the major revenue-producing items manufactured by Jackson is a “controller” which are used in various types of automated equipment. Jackson currently has one model on the market and sales have been good. The technology in electronic devices is constantly changing. However, as with any electronic item, technology changes rapidly, and the current model has limited features in comparison with newer models. Jackson spent $400,000 to develop a prototype for a new controller that will be “state of the art”. The company has spent a further $100,000 for a marketing study to determine the expected sales figures for the new model.
Jackson can manufacture the new controller for $300 each in variable costs. Fixed costs for the operation are estimated to run $4.0 million per year. The estimated sales volume is 70,000, 90,000, 95,000, 85,000, and 75,000 per year for the next five years, respectively. The unit price of the new controller will be $550. The necessary equipment can be purchased for $40.0 million and will be depreciated on a seven-year MACRS schedule. It is believed the value of the equipment in five years will be $2.5 million.
Net working capital for the controller will be 15 percent of sales and will occur with the timing of the cash flows for the year (i.e., there is no initial outlay for NWC). Changes in NWC will thus first occur in Year 1 with the first year's sales. Jackson has a 30 percent corporate tax rate and a required return of 12 percent. Shelly has asked you to prepare a report that answers the following questions:

onch Republic Electronics is a midsized electronics manufacturer located in Key West, Florida. The company president is Shelly Couts, who inherited the company. The company originally repaired radios and other household appliances when it was founded more than 70 years ago. Over the years, the company has expanded, and it is now a reputable manufacturer of various specialty electronic items. Jay McCanless, a recent MBA graduate, has been hired by the company in its finance department.
One of the major revenue-producing items manufactured by Conch Republic is a smartphone. Conch Republic currently has one smartphone model on the market and sales have been excellent. The smartphone is a unique item in that it comes in a variety of tropical colors and is preprogrammed to play Jimmy Buffett music. However, as with any electronic item, technology changes rapidly, and the current smartphone has limited features in comparison with newer models. Conch Republic spent $750,000 to develop a prototype for a new smartphone that has all the features of the existing one but adds new features such as wifi tethering. The company has spent a further $200,000 for a marketing study to determine the expected sales figures for the new smartphone.
Conch Republic can manufacture the new smartphone for $205 each in variable costs. Fixed costs for the operation are estimated to run $5.1 million per year. The estimated sales volume is 64,000, 106,000, 87,000, 78,000, and 54,000 per year for the next five years, respectively. The unit price of the new smartphone will be $485. The necessary equipment can be purchased for $34.5 million and will be depreciated on a seven-year MACRS schedule. It is believed the value of the equipment in five years will be $5.5 million.
Net working capital for the smartphones will be 20 percent of sales and will occur with the timing of the cash flows for the year (i.e., there is no initial outlay for NWC). Changes in NWC will thus first occur in Year 1 with the first year's sales. Conch Republic has a 35 percent corporate tax rate and a required return of 12 percent.
Shelly has asked Jay to prepare a report that answers the following questions:
What is the payback period of the project?
What is the profitability index of the project?
What is the IRR of the project?
What is the NPV of the project?
How sensitive is the NPV to changes in the price of the new smartphone?
How sensitive is the NPV to changes in the quantity sold?
Should Conch Republic produce the new smartphone?
Suppose Conch Republic loses sales on other models because of the introduction of the new model. How would this affect your analysis?

Bob has completed another year here at XYZ as a plant distribution employee. Bob's primary responsibilities include, ensuring that each outgoing shipment is complete, all items are free of defects, and there are no discrepancies in inventory. Within the past few months, there have been multiple customer complains about their shipments. In two cases, nearly every item in a shipment contained a defect. Upon further investigation, we discovered that all of the orders in question fall under Bob's responsibility.
Having defects in our shipments are not only going to hurt our sales, but also our reputation here at XYZ. It is of the utmost importance that Bob is able acknowledge these mistakes and implement a change to avoid defective shipments in the future. I believe that Bob should follow along with a shipment checklist that has detailed explanations, as well as visuals, of the proper methods we have established. I will use the verbal delivery method to get my points across to Bob effectively.
Prior to my sit-down review with Bob, I am going to write up a step by step process, with visuals, to present to Bob and request that he start using this method. I will discuss with Bob the issues that have been arising and make sure he is aware of the changes that need to be made. Within each shipment, the items need to be checked and the exact status of each item will need to be written down prior to leaving the warehouse. This is going to be a first step, and Bob and I will have a follow up, non-professional, review in a month to check up on the status of his shipments and make sure that changes are actually being made.
It is important to address Bob verbally and not with a written delivery for multiple reasons. First, Bob can observe nonverbal cues that I am giving him with my presentation of the checklist. I can also easily demonstrate my intentions right away. Clarification and explanation can help Bob to remit his old habits. Lastly, Bob can have a chance to respond to the concerns immediately and have an open discussion about his job. Although people do not like to get bad news, they expect the truth" (Cardon 2016) I backup this statement because if we are not honest with Bob he will never truly learn and therefore he won't be able to change his actions.
Required
Describe how the changes proposed in the above post could be implemented on a larger, department-wide scale to ensure all employees are informed and the issues can be avoided. Would the same change management principles work when applied to the organization, or would changes have to be made?

Program: Java
Write a Java program using good programming principles that will
aggregate the values from several input files to calculate relevant
percentages and write the values to an output file.
You have been tasked with reading in values from multiple files
that contains different pieces of information by
semester. The Department of Education (DOE) would
like the aggregate values of performance and demographic
information by academic year. A school year begins at the fall
semester and concludes at the end of the summer semester the
following year. Fall 2019 - Summer 2020 is considered one academic
year.
Input Files
These input files contain the data for three programs on
campus:
Program code 3624
Program code 5651
Program code 6635
Input file layout (all integer values) by semester:

Calculations
The following values must be calculated:
For each semester:
- the percentage of students completers (total number
of student completers / total number of students enrolled)
For each individual program code:
- grand totals for each category (enrolled,
completers, gender, and ethnicity)
Aggregate for all semesters:
- the total number of students enrolled
- the total number of student completers
- the total number by gender
- the total number by each ethnicity
- the percentage of student completers (total
completers / total enrolled)
- the percentage of female completers (total number of
female completers / total number of female enrolled)
- the percentage of male completers
- the percentage of each ethnicity
