1. Bill Anders retires in 8 years. He has $650,000 to invest and is considering a franchise for a fast-food outlet. He would have to purchase equipment costing $500,000 to equip the outlet and invest an additional $150,000 for inventories and other working capital needs. Other outlets in the fast-food chain have an annual net cash inflow of about $160,000. Mr. Anders would close the outlet in 8 years. He estimates that the equipment could be sold at that time for about 10% of its original cost. Mr. Anders' required rate of return is 16%.
Required:
What is the investment's net present value when the discount rate is 16 percent? Is this an acceptable investment?

2. The company's total depreciation would not be affected by dropping C.
3. Eliminating Product C will reduce the monthly utility bill from $1,500 to $800.
4. All supervisors' salaries are avoidable.
5. If Product C is discontinued, the maintenance department will be able to reduce monthly expenses from $3,000 to $2,000.

4. The Hayes Company manufactures and sells several products, one of which is called a slip differential. The company normally sells 30,000 units of the slip differential each month. At this activity level, unit costs are:
Direct materials............................ $4
Direct labor.................................. 3
Variable manufacturing overhead..... 4
Fixed manufacturing overhead......... 5
Variable selling.............................. 3
Fixed selling................................. 1
An outside supplier has offered to produce the slip differentials for the Hayes Company, and to ship them directly to the Hayes Company's customers. This arrangement would permit the Hayes Company to reduce its variable selling expenses by one third (due to elimination of freight costs). The facilities now being used to produce the slip differentials would be idle and fixed manufacturing overhead would continue at 60 percent of its present level. The total fixed selling expenses of the company would be unaffected by this decision.
Required:
What is the maximum acceptable price quotation for the slip differentials from the outside supplier?

Variable (sales commissions)................... $6 per unit
Fixed (annual)....................................... $15,000

The company has received a special order for 500 units at a selling price of $45 each. Regular sales would not be affected, and sales commissions on the 500 units would be reduced by one-third. This special order would have no impact on total fixed costs.
Required:
Determine whether the company should accept the special order. Show all computations.

Recent Feedback
  • "I got this feedback and I wanted to know if you can explain it to me. I noticed something within your workings which I believe is incorrect.  It looks like you've mistaken the Debt ratio for the Equity Multiplier.  You've done a calculation to determine Return on Equity (ROE) but if you take a look at the ratios provided for us you'll see ROE listed on the bottom line already.  You can use ROE, Profit Margin and Total Asset Turnover to figure out the Equity Multiplier amount.  Equity multiplier is not provided for us and we need to calculate it.  I really hope this is helpful to you.  "
