Management of Modugno Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model 370 machine costing $525,000 or a new model 240 machine costing $423,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 8 years ago for $488,000. The old machine was used to make product M25A until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired.

Management has decided to buy the new model 240 machine. It has less capacity than the new model 370 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product M25A.

Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product M25A. If that were done, instead of investing $423,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $450,000.

In making the decision to buy the model 240 machine rather than the model 370 machine, the differential cost was:

Description

1. A stock is expected
to pay a year-end dividend of $2.00, i.e., D1 = $2.00. The dividend is expected to decline at a rate
of 5% a year forever (g = -5%). If the
company’s expected and required rate of return is 15%, which of the following
statements is CORRECT?

a. The company’s
current stock price is $20.

b. The company’s
dividend yield 5 years from now is expected to be 10%.

c. The constant growth
model cannot be used because the growth rate is negative.

d. The company’s
expected capital gains yield is 5%.

e. The company’s stock
price next year is expected to be $9.50.

2. A share of common
stock has just paid a dividend of $2.00.
If the expected long-run growth rate for this stock is 6.0%, and if
investors’ required rate of return is 10.5%, what is the stock’s intrinsic
value?

3. E. M. Roussakis
Inc.’s stock currently sells for $55 per share.
The stock’s dividend is projected to increase at a constant rate of 4%
per year. The required rate of return on
the stock, rs, is 15.50%. What is Roussakis’
expected price 5 years from now?

4. Carter’s preferred
stock pays a dividend of $1.40 per quarter.
If the price of the stock is $60.00, what is its nominal (not effective)
annual expected rate of return?

5. Schnusenberg
Corporation just paid a dividend of $1.25 per share, and that dividend is
expected to grow at a constant rate of 7.00% per year in the future. The company’s beta is 1.15, the required
return on the market is 10.50%, and the risk-free rate is 4.00%. What is the intrinsic value for
Schnusenberg’s stock?

6. Rentz RVs Inc. (RRV)
is presently enjoying relatively high growth because of a surge in the demand
for recreational vehicles. Management
expects earnings and dividends to grow at a rate of 30% for the next 4 years,
after which high gas prices will probably reduce the growth rate in earnings
and dividends to zero, i.e., g = 0. The company’s last dividend, D0, was $1.25.
RRV’s beta is 1.20, the market risk premium is 5.75%, and the risk-free rate is
3.00%. What is the intrinsic value of RRV’s common stock?

7. Using the
information on Rentz RVs Inc. from problem 6, what is the dividend yield
expected for the next year?

8. The Wei Company’s
last paid dividend was $2.75. The
dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 2.50% for 2 years, after
which dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 8.00% forever. Wei’s required return (rs) is 16.00%. What is the intrinsic value of Wei’s stock?

9. Using the
information on Wei Company from problem 8, what should be the price of Wei’s
stock at the end of Year 5?

10. You are an analyst
studying Beranek Technologies, which was founded 10 years ago. It has been profitable for the last 5 years,
but it has needed all of its earnings to support growth and thus has never paid
a dividend. Management has indicated
that it plans to pay a $0.50 dividend 3 years from today, then to increase it
at a relatively rapid rate for 2 years with 50% dividend growth in year 4 and
25% dividend growth in year 5, and then to increase its dividend at a constant growth
rate of 6.00% per year thereafter.
Assuming a required return of 15.00%, what is your estimate of the intrinsic
value of Beranek’s stock?

11. Schalheim Sisters
Inc. has always paid out all of its earnings as dividends, and hence has no
retained earnings. This same situation is expected to persist in the
future. The company uses the CAPM to
calculate its cost of equity. Its target
capital structure consists of common stock, preferred stock, and debt. Which of the following events would reduce its
WACC?

a. The market risk premium declines.

b. The flotation costs associated with
issuing new common stock increase.

c. The company’s beta increases.

d. Expected inflation increases.

e. The flotation costs associated with
issuing preferred stock increase.

12. Hettenhouse Company’s
(HC) perpetual preferred stock sells for $105.50 per share, and it pays a $9.50
annual dividend. If the company were to
sell a new preferred issue, it would incur a flotation cost of 6.00% of the price
paid by investors. HC’s marginal tax
rate is 30%. What is the company’s cost
of preferred stock for use in calculating the WACC?

13. Scanlon Inc.’s CFO
hired you as a consultant to help her estimate the cost of capital. You have been provided with the following
data: the risk–free rate of return is 4.00%;
the market risk premium is 6.00%; and Scanlon’s beta is 1.25. Based on the CAPM approach, what is the cost
of equity from retained earnings?

14. Assume that you are a
consultant to Broske Inc., and you have been provided with the following
data: D1 = $2.10; P0 = $45.50; and g =
7.00% (constant). What is the cost of
equity from retained earnings based on the DCF approach?

15. P. Lange Inc. hired your
consulting firm to help them estimate the cost of equity. The yield on Lange’s bonds is 7.25%, and your
firm’s economists believe that the cost of equity can be estimated using a risk
premium of 4.00% over a firm’s own cost of debt. What is an estimate of Lange’s cost of equity
from retained earnings?

16. In their most recent
fiscal year, XYZ, Inc. had net income of $18 million and total common equity of
$200 million. Also, XYZ, Inc. pays out
40% of its earnings as dividends. Using
the Retention Growth Model, what is your best estimate of XYZ’s expected growth
rate?

17. Several years ago the
Pettijohn Company sold a $1,000 par value, noncallable bond that now has 15
years to maturity and a 7.00% annual coupon that is paid semiannually. The bond currently sells for $950, and the
company’s tax rate is 25%. To issue new
bonds, Pettijohn would incur 3% flotation costs. What is the component cost of debt for use in
the WACC calculation?

18. LePage Co. expects to
earn $2.50 per share during the current year, its expected dividend payout
ratio is 65%, its expected constant dividend growth rate is 6.0%, and its
common stock currently sells for $22.50 per share. New stock can be sold to the public at the
current price, but a flotation cost of 10% would be incurred. What would be the cost of equity from new
common stock?

19. You were hired as a
consultant to Quigley Company, whose target capital structure is 40% debt, 10%
preferred, and 50% common equity. The
interest rate on new debt is 6.50%, the yield on the preferred is 6.00%, the cost
of retained earnings is 16.25%, and the tax rate is 34%. The firm will not be issuing any new
stock. What is Quigley’s WACC?

20. Roxie Epoxy’s balance
sheet shows a total of $50 million long-term debt with a coupon rate of 8.00%
and a yield to maturity of 7.00%. This
debt currently has a market value of $55 million. The balance sheet also shows that that the
company has 20 million shares of common stock, and the book value of the common
equity (common stock plus retained earnings) is $65 million. The current stock price is $8.50 per share;
stockholders’ required return, rs, is 16.00%; and the firm’s tax rate is 35%. Based on market value weights, and assuming
the firm is currently at its target capital structure, what WACC should Roxie
use to evaluate capital budgeting projects?

21. Projects C and D are
mutually exclusive and have normal cash flows with an initial outflow followed
by a series of positive cash inflows. Project C has a higher NPV if the WACC is

29. Walker & Campsey
wants to invest in a new computer system, and management has narrowed the
choice to Systems A and B.

System A requires an up-front cost of $100,000, after which it
generates positive after-tax cash flows of $60,000 at the end of each of the
next 2 years. The system could be
replaced every 2 years, and the cash inflows and outflows would remain the
same.

System B also requires an up-front cost of $100,000, after which it
would generate positive after-tax cash flows of $48,000 at the end of each of
the next 3 years. System B can be
replaced every 3 years, but each time the system is replaced, both the cash
outflows and cash inflows would increase by 10%.

The company needs a computer system for 6 years, after which the
current owners plan to retire and liquidate the firm. The company’s cost of capital is 14%. What is the NPV (on a 6-year extended basis)
of the system that adds the most value?

30. Using the information
from problem 29 on Walker & Campsey, what is the equivalent annual annuity
(EAA) for System A?

Management of Modugno Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model 370 machine costing $496,000 or a new model 240 machine costing $481,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 6 years ago for $486,000. The old machine was used to make product M25A until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired.

Management has decided to buy the new model 240 machine. It has less capacity than the new model 370 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product M25A.

Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product M25A. If that were done, instead of investing $481,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $483,000.

In making the decision to buy the model 240 machine rather than the model 370 machine, the differential cost was:

of private investors in the Atlanta, Georgia area is interested in financing
the startup company and two financing plans have been put forth for
consideration:

The
first plan (plan A) is an all-common-equity capital structure. 2.3 million
dollars would be raised by selling common stock at $10 per common share
– Plan
B would involve the use of financial leverage. 1.1 million dollars would be
raised by selling bonds with an effective interest rate of 10.8% (per annum)
and the remaining 1.2 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 firms capitalization, so no fixed maturity date is needed
for the analysis. A 34% tax rate is deemed appropriate for the analysis.
A.
Find the EBIT indifference level associated with the two financial plans. $

detailed financial analysis of the firms prospects suggests that the long term
EBIT will be above $318,000 annually. Taking this into consideration, which

Description

1. The constraint at Mcglathery Corporation is time on a particular machine. The company makes three products that use this machine. Data concerning those products appear below:

UE BI CR
Selling price per unit $335.20 $228.48 $199.23
Variable cost per unit $259.22 $173.04 $159.57
Minutes on the constraint 7.70 4.50 5.70

Assume that sufficient time is available on the constrained machine to satisfy demand for all but the least profitable product. Up to how much should the company be willing to pay to acquire more of the constrained resource? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

$39.66 per unit

$75.98 per unit

$6.96 per minute

$12.32 per minute

2. Austin Wool Products purchases raw wool and processes it into yarn. The spindles of yarn can then be sold directly to stores or they can be used by Austin Wool Products to make afghans. Each afghan requires one spindle of yarn. Current cost and revenue data for the spindles of yarn and for the afghans are as follows:

Data for one spindle of yarn:
Selling price $17
Variable production cost $13
Fixed production cost (based on 3,200 spindles of yarn produced) $7

Data for one afghan:
Selling price $35
Production cost per spindle of yarn $20
Variable production cost to process the yarn into an afghan $19
Avoidable fixed production cost to process the yarn into an afghan
(based on 3,200 afghans produced) $15

Each month 3,200 spindles of yarn are produced that can either be sold outright or processed into afghans.

If Austin chooses to produce 3,200 afghans each month, the change in the monthly net operating income as compared to selling 3,200 spindles of yarn is:

$12,800 increase

$-51,200 increase

$-51,200 decrease

$12,800 decrease

3. The Tingey Company has 400 obsolete microcomputers that are carried in inventory at a total cost of $576,000. If these microcomputers are upgraded at a total cost of $130,000, they can be sold for a total of $190,000. As an alternative, the microcomputers can be sold in their present condition for $40,000.

Suppose the selling price of the upgraded computers has not been set. At what selling price per unit would the company be as well off upgrading the computers as if it just sold the computers in their present condition?

$65

$308

$425

$140

4. Talboe Company makes wheels which it uses in the production of children’s wagons. Talboe’s costs to produce 130,000 wheels annually are as follows:

Direct material $ 26,000
Direct labor 39,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 19,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead 61,000
Total $145,500

An outside supplier has offered to sell Talboe similar wheels for $0.80 per wheel. If the wheels are purchased from the outside supplier, $16,000 of annual fixed manufacturing overhead would be avoided and the facilities now being used to make the wheels would be rented to another company for $42,500 per year.

If Talboe chooses to buy the wheel from the outside supplier, then the change in annual net operating income is a:

$39,000 increase

$3,500 decrease

$26,000 increase

$38,500 increase

5. The Varone Company makes a single product called a Hom. The company has the capacity to produce 40,000 Homs per year. Per unit costs to produce and sell one Hom at that activity level are:

Direct materials $29
Direct labor $19
Variable manufacturing overhead $14
Fixed manufacturing overhead $16
Variable selling expense $10
Fixed selling expense $9

The regular selling price for one Hom is $90. A special order has been received at Varone from the Fairview Company to purchase 7,700 Homs next year at 20% off the regular selling price. If this special order were accepted, the variable selling expense would be reduced by 30%. However, Varone would have to purchase a specialized machine to engrave the Fairview name on each Hom in the special order. This machine would cost $11,700 and it would have no use after the special order was filled. The total fixed costs, both manufacturing and selling, are constant within the relevant range of 30,000 to 40,000 Homs per year. Assume direct labor is a variable cost.

If Varone can expect to sell 32,000 Homs next year through regular channels and the special order is accepted at 20% off the regular selling price, the effect on net operating income next year due to accepting this order would be a:

$11,400 increase

$51,700 increase

$77,000 increase

$24,300 decrease

6. The constraint at Dalbey Corporation is time on a particular machine. The company makes three products that use this machine. Data concerning those products appear below:

8. The management of Freshwater Corporation is considering dropping product C11B. Data from the company’s accounting system appear below:

Sales $919,000
Variable expenses $403,500
Fixed manufacturing expenses $333,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $240,000

All fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products in the company’s accounting system. Further investigation has revealed that $205,500 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $116,500 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product C11B is discontinued.

What would be the effect on the company’s overall net operating income if product C11B were dropped?

Overall net operating income would increase by $193,500.

Overall net operating income would increase by $57,500.

Overall net operating income would decrease by $57,500.

Overall net operating income would decrease by $193,500.

9. Sohr Corporation processes sugar beets that it purchases from farmers. Sugar beets are processed in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $41 to buy from farmers and $12 to crush in the company’s plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $17 or processed further for $16 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $51. The beet juice can be sold as is for $34 or processed further for $20 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $51.

How much profit (loss) does the company make by processing the intermediate product beet juice into refined sugar rather than selling it as is?

Description

Steven Clark and two of his colleagues are considering opening a law office in a large metropolitan area that would make inexpensive legal services available to those who could not otherwise afford services. The intent is to provide easy access for their clients by having the office open 360 days per year, 16 hours each day from7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.The office would be staffed by a lawyer, paralegal, legal secretary, and clerk-receptionist for each of the two eight-hour shifts.
In order to determine the feasibility of the project, Clark hired a marketing consultant to assist with market projections. The results of this study show that if the firm spends $1,035,000 on advertising the first year, the number of new clients expected each day will be 61. Clark and his associates believe this number is reasonable and are prepared to spend the $1,035,000 on advertising. Other pertinent information about the operation of the office follows:

• The only charge to each new client would be $71 for the initial consultation. All cases that warrant further legal work will be accepted on a contingency basis with the firm earning 30 percent of any favorable settlements or judgments. Clark estimates that 20 percent of new client consultations will result in favorable settlements or judgments averaging $5,100 each. It is not expected that there will be repeat clients during the first year of operations.
• The hourly wages of the staff are projected to be $61 for the lawyer, $51 for the paralegal, $41 for the legal secretary, and $31 for the clerk-receptionist. Fringe benefit expense will be 40 percent of the wages paid. A total of 620 hours of overtime is expected for the year; this will be divided equally between the legal secretary and the clerk-receptionist positions. Overtime will be paid at one and one-half times the regular wage, and the fringe benefit expense will apply to the full wage.
• Clark has located 6,000 square feet of suitable office space which rents for $67 per square foot annually. Associated expenses will be $59,500 for property insurance and $82,800 for utilities.
• It will be necessary for the group to purchase malpractice insurance, which is expected to cost $371,000 annually.
• The initial investment in the office equipment will be $131,000. This equipment has an estimated useful life of four years.
• The cost of office supplies has been estimated to be $12 per expected new client consultation.

Required:
1. Determine how many new clients must visit the law office being considered by Steven Clark and his colleagues in order for the venture to break even during its first year of operations. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer up to nearest whole number.)

2. Compute the law firm’s safety margin. (Round final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Answer both Q1 and Q2

Question 1

Toni had worked as an apprentice baker in a large bakery
that supplied different types of bread – from the standard white loaf to the
speciality bread such as rye, gluten-free and organic. At the end of her training, she decided to
start a small business specialising in producing cakes – in particular, cakes
with ornate decorations made from icing sugar – and Danish pastries because she
did not want to compete with the large bakeries for the “bread
market”. As she was close to office
buildings, she decided to try and increase her daily cash-flow by selling
“fresh-cut” sandwiches.

Having spent most of her savings on purchasing equipment and
supplies, renovating shop premises, and employing two shop assistants, she did not
want to spend

money for an accountant to set up an accounting system. She wondered whether she should base her
cost-management system on the system adopted in the large bakery.

As an apprentice, she had not been involved in the
management aspects of operating a bakery, and she did not know what sort of
information she would need to ensure that she did not lose her investment in
her business. She was certain that there
was a ready and reasonably large market for her bakery products. She felt

that all she needed was a cash-statement each week to show
her what her receipts and payments were, and an annual set of accounts to make
sure that she was operating at a profit. To ensure that she recovered her
costs, she intended to follow the product costing strategy used by the large
bakery that she was an apprentice in.

The large bakery produced a variety of bread using highly
automated processes. In ascertaining the
cost of its different types of bread, the large bakery treated flour as a
direct cost. All other costs were treated as indirect costs, and were
allocated. It was a simple system that
Toni thought she could emulate. However,
the large bakery did not produce cakes and pastries. Cakes and pastries require highly specialised

labour skills because the processes may not be easily
standardised and automated.

Required:

Toni is relying on weekly cash flow and annual financial
accounts to ensure that she remains in business in the long-term. She is also attempting to ensure that her
pricing and cost-management strategies are appropriate by adopting the cost
management system used in the large bakery.
Do you agree with Toni’s approach? Support your opinion by addressing
the following issues:

a) How does one ensure that a cost-management system
provides relevant and useful information?

(5 marks).

b) Toni is relying on financial feedback, and the product
costing method adopted by the large bakery. What are the strengths and
weaknesses of these approaches?

(10 marks).

c) Outline any changes you would recommend that would help
Toni to manage her business. Explain how
your changes would address the weaknesses that you have identified in Toni’s
proposed system.

(5 marks).

When answering Question 1, please maintain the 3 parts (a to
c above). The word length: the answer to
each part should address the question for the marks awarded to each part.

[Total: 20 marks]

Question 2

Zubick Corporation produces and supplies 2 types of
component parts to industrial equipment manufacturers. These parts are known as X123 and R907.

There are 2 departments in the factory: the machining and
assembly departments. The machining department has highly automated operations,
while assembly has labour-intensive operations.

The overhead cost incurred in the Machining department was
$1,300,000, while the overhead cost in the Assembly department was $350,000.

The manager, Rex, decided to allocate costs to the 2
products in the following manner: he divided the total overhead costs of
$1,650,000 by the total number of labour hours utilised in the factory (ie
(1000 x5) plus (2000 x 15) = 35,000 DLH).

Therefore his overhead rate was $1,650,000/35,000 = $47.14
per DLH.

The overhead allocated to each product using Rex’s rate was
as follows:

Product X123 = 5 DLH x$47.14 = $235.70

Product R907 = 15 DLH x $47.14 = $707.10

But Rex was losing sales of product R907 to his competitor
who was able to sell a similar product at a lower price, and recover all costs
of production.

Additional information:

is consumed by each product in each production department.

Question
Richardson Motors uses ten units of part Number T305 each month in the production of large
Diesel engines.
The cost to manufacture one unit of T305 is presented below:
Direct Material: $2000
Material Handling
20% of direct material cost: 400
Direct Labor: 16000
Manufacturing Overhead
150% of direct labor cost: 24000
Material handling, which is not included in manufacturing overhead, represents the direct
variable
costs of the receiving department that are applied to direct materials and purchased
components on the

basis of their costs. Richardson's annual manufacturing overhead budget is
one-third variable and two-thirds fixed) Simpson Castings, one of Richardson's reliable
vendors,
has offered to supply T305 at a unit price of $30,000.
Assume Richardson Motors is able to rent all idle capacity for $50,000 per month. If Richardson
decides to purchase the ten units from Simpson Castings, Richardson's monthly
Cost for T305 would:
1.Decrease $14,000
2.Increase $46,000
3.Decrease $34,000
4.Decrease $64,000
Cost of manufacturing 10 units = ($2,000+$16,000) x 10 +$24,000 =$204,000
Cost of buying 10 units = $30,000 x 10 =$300,000
Increase in cost = $300,000 - $204,000 = $96,000/Rental Income of $50,000 would reduce the cost by $50,000.
Thus, Net Increase in the cost = $96,000 -$50,000 = $46,000/Question
