Timberly
Construction negotiates a lump-sum purchase of several assets from a company
that is going out of business. The purchase is completed on January 1, 2013,
at a total cash price of $830,000 for a building, land, land improvements,
and four vehicles. The estimated market values of the assets are building,
$514,250; land, $299,200; land improvements, $28,050; and four vehicles,
$93,500. The company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

Required:

1.1

In
January 2013, Mitzu Co. pays $2,750,000 for a tract of land with two
buildings on it. It plans to demolish Building 1 and build a new store in its
place. Building 2 will be a company office; it is appraised at $720,000, with
a useful life of 20 years and an $85,000 salvage value. A lighted parking lot
near Building 1 has improvements (Land Improvements 1) valued at $510,000

Description

1. A manufacturing company has a small production line dedicated to the production of a
particular product. The line has four stations in serial. Inputs arrive at station 1 and the
output from station 1 becomes the input to station 2. The output from station 2 is the input
to station 3 and so on. The output from station 4 is the fi nished product. Station 1 can
process 2,700 units per month, station 2 can process 2,500/month, station 3 can process
2,300/month, and station 4 can process 2,100/month. What station sets the maximum possible
output from this system? What is that maximum output number?

4. You are in a line at the bank drive-through and 10 cars are in front of you. You estimate
that the clerk is taking about fi ve minutes per car to serve. How long do you expect to wait
in line?

10. An enterprising student has set up an internship clearinghouse for business students. Each
student who uses the service fi lls out a form and lists up to 10 companies that he or she
would like to have contacted. The clearinghouse has a choice of two methods to use for processing
the forms. The traditional method requires about 20 minutes to review the form and
arrange the information in the proper order for processing. Once this setup is done, it takes
only two minutes per company requested to complete the processing. The other alternative
uses an optical scan/retrieve system, which takes only a minute to prepare but requires fi ve
minutes per company for completing the processing. If it costs about the same amount per
minute for processing with either of the two methods, when should each be used?
11. Rockness Recycling refurbishes rundown business students. The process uses a moving
belt, which carries each student through the fi ve steps of the process in sequence. The fi ve
steps are as follows:
Time Required
Step Description per Student
1 Unpack and place on belt 1.0 minute
2 Strip off bad habits 1.5 minutes
3 Scrub and clean mind 0.8 minute
4 Insert modern methods 1.0 minute
5 Polish and pack 1.2 minutes
One faculty member is assigned to each of these steps. Faculty members work a
40-hour week and rotate jobs each week. Mr. Rockness has been working on a contract
from General Eclectic, which requires delivery of 2,000 refurbished students per
week. A representative of the human resources department has just called complaining
that the company hasn’t been receiving the agreed-upon number of students. A check
of fi nished goods inventory by Mr. Rockness reveals that there is no stock left. What
is going on?

13. A local market research fi rm has just won a contract for several thousand small projects
involving data gathering and statistical analysis. In the past, the fi rm has assigned each
project to a single member of its highly trained professional staff. This person would both
gather and analyze the data. Using this approach, an experienced person can complete an
average of 10 such projects in an eight-hour day.
The fi rm’s management is thinking of assigning two people to each project in order to
allow them to specialize and become more effi cient. The process would require the data
290 section 2 MANUFACTURING AND SERVICE PROCESSES
gatherer to fi ll out a matrix on the computer, check it, and transmit it to the statistical
analysis program for the analyst to complete. Data can be gathered on one project while
the analysis is being completed on another, but the analysis must be complete before the
statistical analysis program can accept the new data. After some practice, the new process
can be completed with a standard time of 20 minutes for the data gathering and 30 minutes
for the analysis.
a. What is the production (output per hour) for each alternative? What is the productivity
(output per labor hour)?
b. How long would it take to complete 1,000 projects with each alternative? What
would be the labor content (total number of labor hours) for 1,000 projects for each
alternative?

18. I-mart is a discount optical shop that can fi ll most prescription orders in around 1 hour.
The management is analyzing the processes at the store. There currently is one person
assigned to each task below. The optometrist assigned to task B takes an hour off for
lunch and the other employees work the entire day.
Task Time
A. Greet/register the patient 2 minutes/patient
B. Optometrist conducts eye exam 25 minutes/patient
C. Frame/lenses selection 20 minutes/patient
D. Glasses made (process can run 6 pairs of
glasses at the same time) 60 minutes/patient
E. Final fi tting 5 minutes/patient
For a typical 10-hour retail day (10 a.m.–8 p.m.), the manager would like to calculate the
following:
a. What is the current maximum output of the process per day (assuming every patient
requires glasses)?
b. If another person were added, where would be the logical place?
c. What effect would a mail order lab (where the glasses are made off-site and returned in
5–7 days) have on the process?

Edge Equipment Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope
products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope
for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product
XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its
total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $180
selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are
expected to be $154,800, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope.
Forecasted variable costs are $144 per 100 yards of XT rope.

National Co. manufactures and sells three products: red, white,
and blue. Their unit sales prices are red, $65; white, $95; and blue, $120.
The per unit variable costs to manufacture and sell these products are red,
$50; white, $70; and blue, $90. Their sales mix is reflected in a ratio of
2:2:1 (red:white:blue). Annual fixed costs shared by all three products are
$160,000. One type of raw material has been used to manufacture all three
products. The company has developed a new material of equal quality for less
cost. The new material would reduce variable costs per unit as follows: red,
by $7; white, by $17; and blue, by $7. However, the new material requires new
equipment, which will increase annual fixed costs by $30,000.

Required:

1.

Assume if the company continues to use the old material,
determine its break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of each
individual product.(Always round your composite units up (ceiling rounding) to next

The Vest school of Vocational Technology
has organized the school training programs
into three departments. Each department provides training in a different area
as follows: nursing assistant, dental hygiene, and office technology. The
schools owner, Candice Vest, wants to know how much it cost to operate each of
the three departments. To accumulate the total cost for each department, the
accountant has identified several indirect costs that must be allocated to
each. These costs are $10,080 of telephone expense, $ 2,016 of supplies

Description

Submit your responses to the
following 4 problems in a single Microsoft Word Document. Make sure that you
clearly label each problem/part.

Problems

1. In each of the following independent
situations involving transfers of tangible property, determine which transfer
pricing methods applies and compute a transfer price using the appropriate
method. Show all of your computations.

a.Dougco, a domestic corporation, owns
100% of Thaico, a Thailand corporation. Dougco manufactures top-of-the-line
offi ce chairs at a cost of $300 per unit and sells them to Thaico, which
resells the goods (without any further processing) to unrelated foreign
customers for $450 each. Independent foreign distributors typically earn
commissions of 20% (expressed as a percentage of the sales price) on the
purchase and resale of products comparable to those produced by Dougco

b.Clairco, a domestic corporation,
owns 100% of Shuco, a foreign corporation that manufactures women’s running
shoes at a cost of $30 each and sells them to Clairco. Clairco attaches its
trade name to the shoes (which has a significant effect on their resale price),
and resells them to unrelated customers in the United States for $80 each.
Independent foreign manufacturers producing similar running shoes typically
earn a gross profit mark-up (expressed as a percentage of the manufacturing
costs) of 15%.

c. Tomco, a domestic corporation, owns
100% of Swissco, a Swiss corporation. Tomco manufactures riding lawn mowers at
a cost of $2,500 per unit, and sells them to unrelated foreign distributors at
a price of $3,750 per unit. Tomco also sells the equipment to Swissco, which
then resells the goods to unrelated foreign customers for $4,250 each. The
conditions of Tomco’s sales to Swissco are essentially equivalent to those of
the sales made to unrelated foreign distributors.

2. USAco, a domestic corporation, forms
a Canadian subsidiary, CANco, to distribute USAco’s widgets in Canada. USAco
sells widgets to CANco for resale in Canada, provides CANco with USAco’s unique
distribution software, and provides the use of USAco’s collections staff to
collect receivables from delinquent accounts.

What are the intercompany transactions that USAco must price
at arm’s length?

What compliance techniques may USAco employ to minimize the
risk of a transfer pricing penalty?

3. Erica is a citizen of a foreign
country, and is employed by a foreign-based computer manufacturer. Erica’s job
is to provide technical assistance to customers who purchase the company’s
mainframe computers. Many of Erica’s customers are located in the United
States. As a consequence, Erica consistently spends about 100 working days per
year in the United States. In addition, Erica spends about 20 vacation days per
year in Las Vegas, since she loves to gamble and also enjoys the desert
climate. Erica does not possess a green card. Assume that the United States has
entered into an income tax treaty with Erica’s home country that is identical
to the United States Model Income Tax Convention of November 15, 2006.

How does the United States tax Erica’s activities?

How would your answer
change if Erica were a self-employed technician rather than an employee?

4. Finco is a wholly owned Finnish
manufacturing subsidiary of Winco, a domestic corporation that manufactures and
markets residential window products throughout the world. Winco has been
Finco’s sole shareholder since Finco was organized in 1990. At the end of the
current year, Winco sells all of Finco’s stock to an unrelated foreign buyer
for $25 million. At that time, Finco had $6 million of post-1986 undistributed
earnings, and $2 million of post-1986 foreign income taxes that have not yet
been deemed paid by Winco. Winco’s basis in Finco’s stock was $5 million
immediately prior to the sale.

Assume Winco’s capital gain on the sale of Finco’s stock is
not subject to any foreign taxes, and that the U.S. corporate tax rate is 35%.
What are the U.S. tax consequences of this sale for Winco?

Now assume that instead of selling the stock of Finco, Winco
completely liquidates Finco, and receives property with a market value of $25
million in the transaction. As in the previous scenario, at the time of the
liquidation, Finco had $6 million of accumulated earnings and profi ts, and $2
million of foreign income taxes that have not yet been deemed paid by Winco.
Assume that Winco’s basis in Finco’s stock was $5 million immediately prior to
the liquidation, and that the U.S. corporate tax rate is 35%. What are the U.S.
tax consequences of this liquidation for Winco?

Source of Capital Market Value
Bonds $3,500,000
Preferred Stock $1,800,000
Common Stock $5,900,000

To finance the purchase, Ranch manufacturing will sell 10 year bonds paying 6.6% per year at the market price of $1031. Preferred stock paying a $1.95 dividend can be sold for $25.53. Common stock for Ranch Manufacturing is currently selling for $54.38 per share and the firm paid a $2.98 dividend last year. Dividends are expected to continue growing at a rate of 5.4% per year into the indefinite future. If the firm’s tax rate is 30%, what discount rate should you use to evaluate the equipment purchase?

Plan A is an all-common-equity structure in which $2.3 million dollars would be raised by selling 80,000 shares of common stock.

Plan B: would involve issuing $1.2 million dollars in long-term bonds with an effective interest rate of 11.7% plus $1.1 million would be raised by selling 40,000 shares of common stock. The debt funds raised under plan B have no fixed maturity date, in that this amount of financial leverage is considered a permanent part of the firm’s capital structure.

Abe and is partners plan to use a 34% tax rate in their analysis, and they have hired you on a consulting basis to do the following:
a. Find the EBIT indifference level associated with two financing plans.
b. Prepare a pre forma income statement for the EBIT level solved for in part a. that shows EPS will be the same regardless whether plan a or b is chosen.

“Plan A: is an all-common-equity capital structure. $2.1 million dollars would be raised by selling common stock at $10 per common share.

Plan B: involves the use of financial leverage. $1.1 million dollars would be raised by selling bonds with an effective interest rate of 11.3% (per annum), and the remaining $1.0 million would be raised by selling common stock at the $10 price per share. The use of financial leverage is considered to be a permanent part of the firm’s capitalization, so no fixed maturity date is needed for the analysis. A 35% tax rate is deemed appropriate for the analysis.”
a. Find the EBIT indifference level associated with two financing plans.
B. A detailed financial analysis of the firm’s prospects suggest that the long-term EBIT will be above $323,000 annually. Taking this into consideration, which plan will generate the higher EPS?

Crypton Electronics has a capital structure consisting of 44% common stock and 56% debt.

Description

Problem1. Using present value techniques to evaluate alternative investment opportunities.
Fast Delivery is a small company that transports business packages between New York and Chicago. It operates a fleet of small vans that moves packages to and from a central depot within each city and uses a common carrier to deliver the packages between the depots in the two cities. Fast recently acquired approximately $6 million of cash capital from its owners, and its president. Don Keenon, is trying to identify the most profitable way to invest these funds.
Clarence Roy, the company’s operations manager, believes that the money should be used to expand the fleet of city vans at a cost of $720,000. He argues that more vans would enable the company to expand its services into new markets, thereby increasing the revenue base. More specifically, he expects cash inflows to increase by $280,000 per year. The additional vans are expected to have an average useful life of four years and a combined salvage value of $100,000. Operating the vans will require additional working capital of $40,000, which will be recovered at the end of the fourth year.
In contrast, Patricia Lipa, the company’s chief accountant, believes that the funds should be used to purchase large trucks to deliver the packages between the depots in the two cities. The conversion process would produce continuing improvement in operating savings with reductions in cash outflows as the following.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
$160,000 $320,000 $400,000 $440,000
The large trucks are expected to cost $800,000 and to have a four-year useful life and a $80,000 salvage value. In addition to the purchase price of the trucks, up-front training costs are expected to amount to $16,000. Fast Delivery’s management has established a 16 percent desired rate of return.
Required
a. Determine the net present value of the two investment alternatives.
b. Calculate the present value index for each alternative.
c. Indicate which investment alternative you would recommend. Explain your choice.

Problem 2Using the payback period and unadjusted rate of return to evaluate alternative investment opportunities.
Louis Gallo owns a small retail ice cream parlor. He is considering expanding the business and has identified two attractive alternatives. One involved purchasing a machine that would enable Mr. Gallo to offer frozen yogurt to customers. The machine would cost $8,100 and has an expected useful life of three years with no salvage value. Additional annual cash revenues and cash operating expenses associated with selling yogurt are expected to be $5.940 and $900, respectively.
Alternatively, Mr. Gallo could purchase for $10,080 the equipment necessary to serve cappuccino. That equipment has an expected useful life of four years and no salvage value. Additional annual cash revenues and cash operating expenses associated with selling cappuccino are expected to be $8,280 and $2,430 respectively.
Income before taxes earned by the ice cream parlor is taxed at an effective rate of 20 percent.
Required
a. Determine the payback period and unadjusted rate of return (use average investment) for each alternative.
b. Indicate which investment alternative you would recommend. Explain your choice.

Problem 3Using net present value and internal rate of return to evaluate investment opportunities.
Veronica Tanner, the present of Tanner Enterprises, is considering two investment opportunities. Because of limited resources, she will be able to invest in only one of them. Project A is to purchase a machine that will enable factory automation; the machine is expected to have a useful life of four years and no salvage value. Project B supports a training program that will improve the skills of employees operating the current equipment. Initial cash expenditures for Project A are $100,000 and for Project B are $40,000. The annual expected cash inflows are $31,487 for Project A and $13,169 for Project B. Both investments are expected to provide cash flow benefits for the next four years. Tanner Enterprise’s cost of capital is 8 percent.
Required
a. Compare the net present value of each project. Which project should be adopted based on the net present value approach?
b. Compute the approximate internal rate of return on each project. Which one should be adopted based on the internal rate of return approach?
c. Compare the net present value approach with the internal rate of return approach. Which method is better in the given circumstances? Why?

behavior classifications

Pacific Bank’s start-up division
establishes new branch banks. Each
branch opens with three tellers. Total
teller cost per branch is $90,000 per year.
The three tellers combined can process up to 90,000 customer
transactions per year. IF a branch does
not attain a volume of at least 60,000 transactions during its first year of
operations, it is closed. If the demand
for services exceeds 90,000 transactions, and additional teller is hired, and
the branch is transferred from the start-up division to regular operations.

Required

a. What is the relevant range of activity
for new branch banks?

b. Determine the amount of teller cost in
total and the teller cost per transaction for

branch that processes, 60,000, 70,000, 80,000, or 90,000
transactions. In this case (the

activity base is the number of transactions for a specific branch), is
the teller cost a

fixed or a variable cost?

c. Determine the amount of teller cost in
total and the teller cost per branch for Pacific

Bank, assuming that the start-up division operates 10, 15, 20, or 25
branches. In this

case (the activity base is the number of branches), is the teller cost a
fixed or a variable

cost?

12-15 Selecting an appropriate cost
driver (What is the base?)

The Vest School of Vocational Technology
has organized the school training programs into three departments. Each department provides training in a
different area as follow: nursing assistant, dental hygiene, and office
technology. The school’s owner, Wilma
Vest, wants to know how much it costs to operate each of the three departments. To accumulate the total cost for each
department, the accountant has identified several indirect costs that must be
allocated to each. These costs are
$10,080 of telephone expense, $2,016 of supplies expense, $720,000 of office
rent, $144,000 of janitorial services, and $150,000 of salary paid to the dean
of students. To provide a reasonably
accurate allocation of costs, the accountant has identified several possible
cost drivers. These drivers and their
association with each department follow.

FDE Manufacturing
Company has a normal plant capacity of 37,500 units per month. Because of an
extra large quantity of inventory on hand, it expects to produce only 30,000
units in May. Monthly fixed costs and expenses are $112,500 ($3 per unit at
normal plant capacity) and variable costs and expenses are $8.25 per unit. The
present selling price is $13.50 per unit. The company has an opportunity to
sell 7,500 additional units at $9.90 per unit to an exporter who plans to
market the product under its own brand name in a foreign market. The additional
business is therefore not expected to affect the regular selling price or
quantity of sales of FDE Manufacturing Company.

Description

29. The
Spartan Technology Company has a proposed contract with the Digital Systems
Company of Michigan.
The initial investment in land and equipment will be $120,000. Of this amount,
$70,000 is subject to five-year MACRS depreciation. The balance is in
nondepreciable property. The contract covers six years; at the end of six
years, the nondepreciable assets will be sold for $50,000, which is their
original cost. The depreciated assets will have zero resale value.

The contract will require an additional investment of $55,000 in
working capital at the beginning of the first year and, of this amount, $25,000
will be returned to the Spartan Technology Company after six years.

The investment will produce $50,000 in
income before depreciation and taxes for each of the six years. The corporation
is in a 40 percent tax bracket and has a 10 percent cost of capital.

Should the investment be undertaken? Use the net present value
method.

30. An asset was purchased three years ago for
$140,000. It falls into the five-year category for MACRS depreciation. The firm
is in a 35 percent tax bracket. Compute the:

a. Tax loss on the sale and the related tax
benefit if the asset is sold now for $15,320.

b. Gain
and related tax on the sale if the asset is sold now for $58,820. (Refer to
footnote 3.)

31. Polycom Technology is considering the
purchase of a new piece of equipment for
$110,000. It has a nine-year midpoint of its asset depreciation range (ADR). It
will require an additional initial investment of $60,000 in nondepreciable
working capital. Fifteen thousand dollars of this investment will be recovered
after the sixth year and will provide additional cash flow for that year.
Income before depreciation and taxes for the next
six years will be:

28. The Thorpe Corporation is considering the
purchase of manufacturing equipment with a 10-year midpoint in its asset
depreciation range (ADR). Carefully refer to Table 12-8 to determine in what
depreciation category the asset falls. (Hint: It is not 10 years.) The asset
will cost $80,000, and it will produce earnings before depreciation and taxes
of $28,000 per year for three years, and then $12,000 a year for seven more
years. The firm has a tax rate of 34 percent. With a cost of capital of 12

investment, if undertaken, will double the firm’s total assets. If kRF is 7 percent and the market
return is 10 percent, should the firm undertake the invest­ment? (Choose the best answer.)

a.Yes;theexpectedreturnofthe asset(7%)exceedstherequiredreturn (6.5%).

b.Yes; the beta of the asset will reduce the risk
of the firm.

c.No; the expected return of the asset (7%) is
less than the required return (8.5%).

d.No; the risk of the asset (beta) will increase
the firm’s beta.

9A-[42]. Assume you are the director of capital
budgeting for an all-equity firm. The firm’s current cost of equity is 16
percent; the risk-free rate is 10 percent; and the market risk premium is 5
percent. You are considering a new
project that has 50 percent more beta risk than your firm’s assets currently
have, that is, its beta is 50 percent larger than the firm’s existing
beta. The expected return on the new
project is 18 percent. Should the
project be accepted if beta risk is the appropriate risk measure? Choose the correct statement.

a.Yes; its expected return is greater than the
firm’s cost of capital.

b.Yes; the project’s risk-adjusted required
return is less than its expected return.

c.No; a 50 percent increase in beta risk gives a
risk-adjusted required return of 24 percent.

d.No; the project’s risk-adjusted required return
is 2 percentage points above its expected return.

e.No; the project’s risk-adjusted required return
is 1 percentage point above its expected return.

project that has a return of 13 percent and is not related to
transportation. However, a pure play
proxy firm has been identified that is exclusively engaged in the new line of
busi­ness. The proxy firm has a beta of
1.38. Both firms have a marginal tax
rate of 40 percent, and Interstate’s before-tax cost of debt is 12
percent. The risk-free rate is 10
percent and the market risk premium is 5 percent. The firm should

a.Reject the project; its return is less than the
firm’s required rate of return on the project of 16.9 percent.

b.Accept the project; its return is greater than
the firm’s required rate of return on the project of 12.05 percent.

c.Reject the project; its return is only 13
percent.

d.Accept the project; its return exceeds the
risk-free rate and the before-tax cost of debt.
