Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a small plant that relies heavily on direct labor workers. Thus, variable expenses are high, totaling $15.00 per ball, of which 60% is direct labor cost.

Last year, the company sold 32,000 of these balls, with the following results:

5. Refer to the original data. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40.00%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company’s new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?

6. Refer to the data in (5) above.

a. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $109,000, as last year?

b. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 32,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and compute the degree of operating leverage.

1. The EPA is considering an application from the state of Colorado for a large dam project on the Colorado River. The basic costs and benefits of the project (in inflation-adjusted dollar values) are as follows:

1. Do a formal Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) using the quantifiable factors listed above. Assume that the operating lifespan of the dam is 30 years. Assume construction begins in year 1. All other impacts start when the dam is completed (at the beginning of Year 4) and continue for 30 years, which implies the full lifespan for the project is 33 years.
2. Using the same parameters and results from part (a.), adjust the interest rate to determine the level of discounting necessary to just break even. (Hint: I would start by changing the interest rate in 1% increments and then refine the changes as you get close to the break-even point.) What does this increase or decrease in interest rate imply about the relationship between costs and benefits over time?
3. (Return to the setup from part (a.) with a 7% discount rate.) In addition to the components of the project listed above, what other costs and/or benefits do you think are missing that should be included? How do you think they will impact the overall conclusion regarding the profitability of the project? (Hint: I would suggest thinking about this in terms of existence values – i.e., based on our discussion in class surrounding the development of ANWR what values may need to be built into this analysis and how would you go about getting them. There isn’t one right answer – you just need to defend your reasoning for what you come up with. I would suggest starting by thinking about how many households there are in the US and how much each would pay per year to protect the ecosystems associated with the dam.)
4. Finally, holding constant the analysis you did in part (c.) what happens when you increase the acre-foot price of irrigation water from $700 to $1500 and/or the price per kilowatt hour of electricity from $0.125 to $0.15?

Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago is considering a renovation that will improve some physical facilities at a cost of $1,800,000. Addition of new species will cost another $310,000. Additional maintenance, food, and animal care and replacement will cost $145,000 in the 1st year, increasing by 3 % each year thereafter. The zoo has been in operation since 1868 and is expected to continue indefinitely; however, it is common to use a 20-year planning horizon on all new investments. Salvage value on facilities after 20 years will be 40 % of initial cost. Interest is 7 %. An estimated 1.5 million visits per year are made to the zoo, and the cost remains free year-round. How much additional benefit per visit, on average, must the visitors perceive to justify the renovation? ..............$

Identify (3) three revenue management “factors” that will have an impact on a hotel with respect to optimizing revenue generation. Explain and elaborate each concept.

The Wellington Plaza Hotel is located close to the main railway station in a large regional city. Its main client base is business people visiting the city for work-related purposes. The second-largest group of clients consists of groups of (mainly) women visiting the city for its great shopping. All major department stores have a presence in the city and there are a number of specialty shops and factory outlets. Another large group of clients are groups of (mainly) men visiting the city for various sports events, including several important hockey games during the winter. Occupancy rates have been reasonable but stagnant for several years, providing a steady but unsatisfactory rate of return for the owners of the hotel. Revenues have only been sufficient to cover operating costs. In an effort to increase the hotel’s profitability, a major renovation program was undertaken and completed earlier this year. The renovation was predicted to increase the relative attractiveness of the hotel to guests. It was also undertaken to earn additional revenue from the rent of a new coffee shop on the ground floor. The coffee shop is run by a separate company that has purchased a franchise of a major international brand. An economic slow down means business travel is down by 25 percent across the country. Further, discretionary retail spending is down by 40 percent. Several specialty shops in the city have already shut down and others are cutting their opening hours. In addition, the hockey series was won by the local team in four games (instead of the possible seven games). Thousands of visitors left the city early once the final game was over. Just before the hockey games began, the coffee-shop owners went bankrupt and closed down, breaking their lease. The hotel owners are seeking legal advice on whether they can claim penalty fees on the broken lease. Finally, the hotel owners’ bank is warning that the short-term financing obtained for the renovations will not be renewed when it is due (one month after year end). The hotel managers had expected to repay the debt from this year’s bookings and the coffee-shop lease. The hotel owners are still hopeful that the summer will bring a large increase in occupancy (and revenue) as the weather is expected to be nice. This expected summer trade is essential to meet repayments on the long-term debt and to convince the bank to extend the short-term debt. (a) New attempt is in progress. Some of the new entries may impact the last attempt grading.Your answer is incorrect. Which of the following conditions in this case may cast doubt on the client’s ability to continue as a going concern? (There may be more than one correct answer)

A.Economic slowdown

B.Prolonged losses

C.Inability to renew short-term financing when it comes due

D.Supplier reluctance to provide goods on credit

E.Lower occupancy fees due to reduced demand from customers

F.Loss of rent from coffee shop with uncertainty about a new lease

G.Rapid growth with insufficient planning

H.Falling behind competitors
