- Santa Rosa recently purchased a new boat to help ship product overseas. The following information is related to that purchase: Purchase price $4,500,000 Cost to bring boat to production facility $25,000 Yearly insurance cost $25,000 Annual maintenance cost of $30,000 Received 8% discount on sales price Determine the acquisition cost of the boat, and record the journal entry needed.Filkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $190,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $87,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $360,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins’ cost of capital is 14%. Should the firm replace its old knitting machine? If so, which new machine should it use? By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine?Jonfran Company manufactures three different models of paper shredders including the waste container, which serves as the base. While the shredder heads are different for all three models, the waste container is the same. The number of waste containers that Jonfran will need during the following years is estimated as follows: The equipment used to manufacture the waste container must be replaced because it is broken and cannot be repaired. The new equipment would have a purchase price of 945,000 with terms of 2/10, n/30; the companys policy is to take all purchase discounts. The freight on the equipment would be 11,000, and installation costs would total 22,900. The equipment would be purchased in December 20x4 and placed into service on January 1, 20x5. It would have a five-year economic life and would be treated as three-year property under MACRS. This equipment is expected to have a salvage value of 12,000 at the end of its economic life in 20x9. The new equipment would be more efficient than the old equipment, resulting in a 25 percent reduction in both direct materials and variable overhead. The savings in direct materials would result in an additional one-time decrease in working capital requirements of 2,500, resulting from a reduction in direct material inventories. This working capital reduction would be recognized at the time of equipment acquisition. The old equipment is fully depreciated and is not included in the fixed overhead. The old equipment from the plant can be sold for a salvage amount of 1,500. Rather than replace the equipment, one of Jonfrans production managers has suggested that the waste containers be purchased. One supplier has quoted a price of 27 per container. This price is 8 less than Jonfrans current manufacturing cost, which is as follows: Jonfran uses a plantwide fixed overhead rate in its operations. If the waste containers are purchased outside, the salary and benefits of one supervisor, included in fixed overhead at 45,000, would be eliminated. There would be no other changes in the other cash and noncash items included in fixed overhead except depreciation on the new equipment. Jonfran is subject to a 40 percent tax rate. Management assumes that all cash flows occur at the end of the year and uses a 12 percent after-tax discount rate. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the make alternative. Calculate the NPV of the make alternative. 2. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the buy alternative. Calculate the NPV of the buy alternative. 3. Which should Jonfran domake or buy the containers? What qualitative factors should be considered? (CMA adapted)
- Godwin Co. owns three delivery trucks. Details for each truck at the end of the most recent year follow: At the beginning of the year, a hydraulic lift is added to Truck 1 at a cost of 4,500. The addition of the hydraulic lift will allow the company to deliver much larger objects than could previously be delivered. At the beginning of the year, the engine of Truck 2 is overhauled at a cost of 5,000. The engine overhaul will extend the trucks useful life by three years. Write a short memo to Godwins chief financial officer explaining the financial statement effects of the expenditures associated with Trucks 1 and 2.The activity of moving materials uses four forklifts, each leased for 18,000 per year. A forklift is capable of making 5,000 moves per year, where a move is defined as a round trip from the plant to the warehouse and back. During the year, a total of 18,000 moves were made. What is the cost of the unused capacity for the moving goods activity? a. 5,400 b. 1,800 c. 7,200 d. 3,600St. Johns Medical Center (SJMC) has five medical technicians who are responsible for conducting cardiac catheterization testing in SJMCs Cath Lab. Each technician is paid a salary of 36,000 and is capable of conducting 1,000 procedures per year. The cardiac catheterization equipment is one year old and was purchased for 250,000. It is expected to last five years. The equipments capacity is 25,000 procedures over its life. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, with no salvage value expected. The reading of the catheterization results is conducted by an outside physician whose fee is 120 per test. The technicians report with the outside physicians note of results is sent to the referring physician. In addition to the salaries and equipment, SJMC spends 50,000 for supplies and other costs needed to operate the equipment (assuming 5,000 procedures are conducted). When SJMC purchased the equipment, it fully expected to perform 5,000 procedures per year. In fact, during its first year of operation, 5,000 procedures were run. However, a larger hospital has established a clinic in the city and will siphon off some of SJMCs business. During the coming years, SJMC expects to run only 4,200 cath procedures yearly. SJMC has been charging 850 for the procedureenough to cover the direct costs of the procedure plus an assignment of general overhead (e.g., depreciation on the hospital building, lighting and heating, and janitorial services). At the beginning of the second year, an HMO from a neighboring community approached SJMC and offered to send its clients to SJMC for cardiac catheterization provided that the charge per procedure would be 550. The HMO estimates that it can provide about 500 patients per year. The HMO has indicated that the arrangement is temporaryfor one year only. The HMO expects to have its own testing capabilities within one year. Required: 1. Classify the resources associated with the cardiac catheterization activity into one of the following: (1) committed resources, or (2) flexible resources. 2. Calculate the activity rate for the cardiac catheterization activity. Break the activity rate into fixed and variable components. Now, classify each activity resource as relevant or irrelevant with respect to the following alternatives: (1) accept the HMO offer, or (2) reject the HMO offer. Explain your reasoning. 3. Assume that SJMC will accept the HMO offer if it reduces the hospitals operating costs. Should the HMO offer be accepted? 4. Jerold Bosserman, SJMCs hospital controller, argued against accepting the HMOs offer. Instead, he argued that the hospital should be increasing the charge per procedure rather than accepting business that doesnt even cover full costs. He also was concerned about local physician reaction if word got out that the HMO was receiving procedures for 550. Discuss the merits of Jerolds position. Include in your discussion an assessment of the price increase that would be needed if the objective is to maintain total revenues from cardiac catheterizations experienced in the first year of operation. 5. Chandra Denton, SJMCs administrator, has been informed that one of the Cath Lab technicians is leaving for an opportunity at a larger hospital. She met with the other technicians, and they agreed to increase their hours to pick up the slack so that SJMC wont need to hire another technician. By working a couple hours extra every week, each remaining technician can perform 1,050 procedures per year. They agreed to do this for an increase in salary of 2,000 per year. How does this outcome affect the analysis of the HMO offer? 6. Assuming that SJMC wants to bring in the same revenues earned in the cardiac catheterization activitys first year less the reduction in resource spending attributable to using only four technicians, how much must SJMC charge for a procedure?
