Aunt Sally’s Sauces Inc., is considering expansion into a new line of all-natural, cholesterol-free, sodium-free, fat-free, low-calorie tomato sauces. Sally has paid $50,000 for a marketing study which indicates that the new product line would have sales of$650,000 per year for the next six years. Manufacturing plant and equipment would cost $500,000, and will be depreciated using the following annual depreciation rates: 0.2, 0.32, 0.1920, 0.1152, 0.1152, 0.0576. The fixed assets will have no market value at the end of six years. Annual fixed costs are projected at$80,000 and variable costs are projected at 60% of sales. Net operating working capital requirements are $75,000 for the six-year life of the project; the outlay for working capital will be recovered at the end of six years. Aunt Sally’s tax rate is 34% and the firm requires a 16% return. a. Compute the annual depreciation and the ending book value of the fixed assets. b. Prepare pro forma income statements for the project for years 1 through 6. c. Compute operating cash flow (NOPAT) for the project for years 1 through 6. d. Compute total projected cash flows for years 0 through 6 for the project. e. Compute the NPV and IRR for the new product line.

The firm projects that the sales will increase by 15% in year 2002 and 20% in year 2003. The after tax profit on sales has been 11% but the management is pessimistic about future operating costs and intends to use an after-tax profit on sales rate of 8% per annum. The firm intends to maintain its dividend payout ratio of 80%. Assets are expected to vary directly with sales while trade creditors and accrued expenses form the spontaneous sources of financing. Any external financing will be affected through the use of commercial paper. (a) Determine the amount of external financial requirements for the next two years.

In: Finance ##### TufStuff, Inc., sells a wide range of drums, bins, boxes, and other containers that are used... TufStuff, Inc., sells a wide range of drums, bins, boxes, and other containers that are used in the chemical industry. One of the company’s products is a heavy-duty corrosion-resistant metal drum, called the WVD drum, used to store toxic wastes. Production is constrained by the capacity of an automated welding machine that is used to make precision welds. A total of 2,140 hours of welding time is available annually on the machine. Because each drum requires 0.4 hours of welding machine time, annual production is limited to 5,175 drums. At present, the welding machine is used exclusively to make the WVD drums. The accounting department has provided the following financial data concerning the WVD drums: WVD Drums Selling price per drum$ 177.00 Cost per drum: Direct materials $52.10 Direct labor ($25 per hour) 5.00 Manufacturing overhead 8.70 Selling and administrative expense 31.20 97.00 Margin per drum $80.00 Management believes 6,275 WVD drums could be sold each year if the company had sufficient manufacturing capacity. As an alternative to adding another welding machine, management has considered buying additional drums from an outside supplier. Harcor Industries, Inc., a supplier of quality products, would be able to provide up to 4,175 WVD-type drums per year at a price of$159 per drum, which TufStuff would resell to its customers at its normal selling price after appropriate relabeling. Megan Flores, TufStuff’s production manager, has suggested that the company could make better use of the welding machine by manufacturing bike frames, which would require only 0.5 hours of welding machine time per frame and yet sell for far more than the drums. Megan believes that TufStuff could sell up to 1,740 bike frames per year to bike manufacturers at a price of $274 each. The accounting department has provided the following data concerning the proposed new product: Bike Frames Selling price per frame$ 274.00 Cost per frame: Direct materials $103.60 Direct labor ($18 per hour) 40.00 Manufacturing overhead 43.00 Selling and administrative expense 53.40 240.00 Margin per frame $34.00 The bike frames could be produced with existing equipment and personnel. Manufacturing overhead is allocated to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. Most of the manufacturing overhead consists of fixed common costs such as rent on the factory building, but some of it is variable. The variable manufacturing overhead has been estimated at$1.35 per WVD drum and $1.90 per bike frame. The variable manufacturing overhead cost would not be incurred on drums acquired from the outside supplier. Selling and administrative expenses are allocated to products on the basis of revenues. Almost all of the selling and administrative expenses are fixed common costs, but it has been estimated that variable selling and administrative expenses amount to$.75 per WVD drum whether made or purchased and would be $2.00 per bike frame. All of the company’s employees—direct and indirect—are paid for full 40.00-hour work weeks and the company has a policy of laying off workers only in major recessions. As soon as your analysis was shown to the top management team at TufStuff, several managers got into an argument concerning how direct labor costs should be treated when making this decision. One manager argued that direct labor is always treated as a variable cost in textbooks and in practice and has always been considered a variable cost at TufStuff. After all, “direct” means you can directly trace the cost to products. “If direct labor is not a variable cost, what is?” Another manager argued just as strenuously that direct labor should be considered a fixed cost at TufStuff. No one had been laid off in over a decade, and for all practical purposes, everyone at the plant is on a monthly salary. Everyone classified as direct labor works a regular 40.00-hour workweek and overtime has not been necessary since the company adopted Lean Production techniques. Whether the welding machine is used to make drums or frames, the total payroll would be exactly the same. There is enough slack, in the form of idle time, to accommodate any increase in total direct labor time that the bike frames would require. Required: 1. Compute the contribution margin per unit. [assume direct labor is a variable cost] 2. Compute the contribution margin per welding hour. [assume direct labor is a variable cost] 3. Assuming direct labor is a variable cost: a. Determine the number of WVD drums (if any) that should be purchased and the number of WVD drums and/or bike frames (if any) that should be manufactured. [Assume direct labor is a variable cost] b. What is the increase (decrease) in net operating income that would result from this plan over current In: Accounting ##### Classify Manufacturing Costs (9 marks) A Car Company had the following costs during January 2020 a)...

There are a number of statistics computed to measure the price level, such as the GDP deflator and the CPI. The choice of which of these measures to use depends in many cases on the specific question in which you are interested. For each of the following situations, state whether the CPI or GDP deflator is a more appropriate measure to use and explain why. 1. (5 pts) The government is interested in whether increases in defense spending are affecting the price level. 2. (5 pts)An economic consulting firm is investigating the impact on the aggregate price level of more computers and electronic technology used in production.
