Setia Maju Bhd uses titanium in the production of its specialty drivers. Setia Maju Bhd anticipates that it will need to purchase 20,000 kilograms of titanium in October 2020, for clubs that will be shipped in the holiday shopping season. However, if the price of titanium increases, this will increase the cost to produce the clubs, which will result in lower profit margins. To hedge the risk of increased titanium prices, on May 1, 2020, Setia Maju Bhd enters into a titanium futures contract and designates this futures contract as a cash flow hedge of the anticipated titanium purchase. The notional amount of the contract is 20,000 kilograms, and the terms of the contract give Setia Maju Bhd the right and the obligation to purchase titanium at a price of RM50 per kilogram. The price will be good until the contract expires on November 30, 2020. Assume the following data with respect to the price of the titanium inventory purchase. Spot Price for November Delivery Date May 1, 2020 June 30, 2020 September 30, 2020 RM50 per kilogram RM52_per kilogram RM53 per kilogram

Hyperion, Inc. currently sells its latest high-speed color printer, the Hyper 500, for $350. It plans to lower the price to $300 next year. Its cost of goods sold for the Hyper 500 is $200 per unit, and thi year's sales are expected to be 20,000 units.a) Suppose that if Hyperion drops the price to $300 immediatley, it can increase this year's sales by 25% to 25,000 units. What would be the incremental impact on this eyar's EBIT of such a price drop?b) Suppose that for each printer sold, Hyperion expects additional sales of $75 per year on ink cartridges for the next years, and Hyperion has a gross profit margin of 70% on ink cartridges. What is the incremntal impact on EBIT for the next three years of a priced drop this year?
Keener Clothiers Inc. is considering investing $2 million in an automatic sewing machine to produce a newly designed line of dresses. The dresses will be priced at $200, and management expects to sell 12,000 per year for six years. There is, however, some uncertainty about production costs associated with the new machine. The production department has estimated operating costs at 70% of revenues, but senior management realizes that this figure could turn out to be as low as 65% or as high as 75%. The new machine will be depreciated at a rate of $200,000 per year for six years (straight line, zero salvage). Keener’s cost of capital is 14% and its marginal tax rate is 35%. Calculate a point estimate along with best and worst case scenarios for the project’s NPV.
Perot Corporation is developing a new CPU chip based on a new type of technology. Its new chip, the Patay2 chip, will take two years to develop. However, because other chip manufacturers will be able to copy the technology, it will have a market life of two years after it is introduced. Perot expects to be able to price the chip higher in the i rst year, and it anticipates a signii cant production cost reduction after the i rst year as well. The relevant information for developing and selling the Patay2 is given below. Patay2 Chip Product EstimatesDevelopment Cost $20,000,000Pilot Testing $5,000,000Debug $3,000,000Ramp-up Cost…
Expo Lube is interested in producing and selling an industrial line of oil filters. Market research indicates that wholesale customers are currently willing to pay $8 for similar filters, and that Expo Lube could sell 80,000 units per year at that price. a. If Expo Lube requires a 19 percent return on sales, what is its target cost for the proposed industrial line of filters? b. Assume that market research reveals several of Expo Lube’s direct competitors are likely to lower the wholesale price of similar filters to $7 per unit. To remain competitive, what will Expo Lube’s target cost have to be to maintain a 19 percent return on sales? c. At a wholesale price of $7, Expo Lube estimates that it can sell 83,100 industrial filters per year instead of 80,000 units. Assuming its target costs are attainable, how much more or less profit per year will the company earn at the $7 wholesale price compared to the initial wholesale price estimate of $8?
NUBD Inc. is considering two average-risk alternative ways of producing its patented polo shirts. Process X has a cost of P8,000 and will produce net cash flows of P5,000 per year for 2 years. Process Y will cost P11,500 and will produce cash flows of P4,000 per year for 4 years. The company has a contract that requires it to produce the shirts for 4 years, but the patent will expire after 4 years, so the shirts will not be produced after 4 years. Inflation is expected to be zero during the next 4 years. If cash inflows occur at the end of each year, and if NUBD’s cost of capital is 10 percent, by what amount will the better project increase NUBD’s value?

DEF Corporation is considering a new product line. The company currently manufactures several lines of snow skiing apparel. The new products, insulated ski bikinis, are expected to generate sales of RM1 million per year for the next five years. They expect that during this five year period, they will lose about RM250,000 in sales on their existing lines of longer ski pants. The new line will require no additional equipment or space in the plant and can be produced in the same manner as the apparel products. The new project will, however, require that the company spend an additional RM80,000 per year on insurance in case customers sue for frostbite. Also, a new marketing director would be hired to oversee the line at RM45,000 per year in salary and benefits. Because of the different construction of the bikinis, an increase in inventory of 3,800 would be required initially. If the marginal tax rate is 30%, compute the incremental after tax cash flows for years 1-5. Select one: a.…

Billingham Packaging is considering expanding its production capacity by purchasing a new machine, the XC-750. The cost of the XC-750 is $2.77 million. Unfortunately, installing this machine will take several months and will partially disrupt production. The firm has just completed a $45,000 feasibility study to analyze the decision to buy the XC-750, resulting in the following estimates: • Marketing: Once the XC-750 is operational next year, the extra capacity is expected to generate $10.05 million per year in additional sales, which will continue for the 10-year life of the machine. • Operations: The disruption caused by the installation will decrease sales by $5.09 million this year. As with Billingham's existing products, the cost of goods for the products produced by the XC-750 is expected to be 72% of their sale price. The increased production will also require increased inventory on hand of $1.11 million during the life of the project, including year 0. • Human Resources: The…
