A large brokerage company is assessing the introduction of a new computer system to improve routing and execution of customer orders. The managing director wants to install a new Smart Routing system, whereas another director prefers the Direct Routing system. Each machine provides the same order-execution ability and can satisfy the broker’s obligation to give investors the best possible order execution. The initial cost of each system is $170,000, but because of differing software, maintenance, and processing requirements, estimates of the after-tax costs of operation differ. These are as follows: Period Smart Routing Direct Routing 1 39,000 56,000 2 48,000 61,000 3 48,000 61,000 4…
Lidl makes a deal with SAP for a new specialised inventory software system. Once completed and installed the system is expected to deliver £750 m in savings for Lidl, but it is valueless to any other company. SAP needs to make an investment of £300 m to develop the system. They strike an initial agreement that will eventually make Lidl pay £500 m for the system. However, after the project is completed by SAP, Lidl seek to back out from the deal citing the pandemic as a reason. It insists that it will pay only £200 m for the system or the whole deal is off. What is the size/value of the hold-up problem in this example? a. -£100m. b. £300m. c. £500m. d. £200m.
Explain why proponents of LIFO argue that it provides a better match of revenue and expenses. In what situations would it not provide a better match? Be specific. The management of the Esquire Oil Company believes that the wholesale price of heating oil that they sell to homeowners will increase again as the result of increased political problems in the Middle East. The company is currently paying $0.80 per gallon. If they are willing to enter an agreement in November 2021 to purchase a million gallons of heating oil during the winter of 2022, their supplier will guarantee the price at $0.80 per gallon. However, if the winter is a mild one, Esquire would not be able to sell a million gallons unless they reduced their retail price and thereby increase the risk of a loss for the year. On the other hand, if the wholesale price did increase substantially, they would be in a favorable position with respect to their competitors. The company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

Assume that Rolando Corporation is considering the renovation and/or replacement of some of its older and outdated carpet-manufacturing equipment. Its objective is to improve the efficiency of operations in terms of both speed and reduction in the number of defects. The company’s finance department has compiled pertinent data that will allow it to conduct a marginal cost–benefit analysis for the proposed equipment replacement. The cash outlay for new equipment would be approximately $600,000. The net book value of the old equipment and its potential net selling price add up to $250,000. The total benefits from the new equipment (measured in today’s dollars) would be $900,000. The benefits of the old equipment over a similar period of time (measured in today’s dollars) would be $300,000. TO DO Create a spreadsheet to conduct a marginal cost–benefit analysis for Rolando Corporation, and determine the: 1. The marginal (added) benefits of the proposed new equipment. *

Your company has a customer who is shutting down a production line, and it is your responsibility to dispose of the extrusion machine. The company could keep it in inventory for a possible future product and estimates that the reservation value is $100,000. Your dealings on the secondhand market lead you to believe that if you commit to a price of $200,000, there is a 0.4 chance you will be able to sell the machine. If you commit to a price of $300,000, there is a 0.25 chance you will be able to sell the machine. If you commit to a price of $400,000, there is a 0.1 chance you will be able to sell the machine. These probabilities are summarized in the following table. For each posted price, enter the expected value of attempting to sell the machine at that price. (Hint: Be sure to take into account the value of the machine to your company in the event that you are not be able to sell the machine.)

A Company is seeking financial advice as to whether to replace its old equipment. Some of its printing machines have reached the end of their useful working life and they are considering whether to replace them with the latest computer-based equipment. Such equipment will be costly, but the firm expects to be able to reduce its staffing levels to compensate. There are two options currently under review. Under the first option, the firm will purchase a standard piece of equipment at a cost of £10,000 payable now. Over the next five years, however, the firm expects to be able to reduce its staffing costs by £3,500 per year, in the first three years, and then by £3,000 in year 4 and £2,500 in year 5. At the end of the five years, the equipment would have reached the end of its life and would need replacing. Under the second option, the firm would purchase a slightly more sophisticated piece of equipment for an initial cost of £12,000. In the first two years, staff cost savings is…

The following two statements concern depreciation: 1. Because our plant was shut down for part of the year, we will not depreciate it. Depreciating it for the full year would increase our costs and overstate the inventory. 2. I think we should have increasing depreciation expense each period because it will increase the funds recovered near the end of the assets life when maintenance costs are high and we will need to replace the asset. Also, I think tax rates will be higher toward the end of the assets life, so we will be better off to have a larger amount of depreciation expense then. Required: Prepare a short report that evaluates each of the following statements separately.
