Please make it easy to understand by bolding the answers only Silven Industries, which manufactures and sells a highly successful line of summer lotions and insect repellents, has decided to diversify in order to stabilize sales throughout the year. A natural area for the company to consider is the production of winter lotions and creams to prevent dry and chapped skin. After considerable research, a winter products line has been developed. However, Silven’s president has decided to introduce only one of the new products for this coming winter. If the product is a success, further expansion in future years will be initiated. The product selected (called Chap-Off) is a lip balm that will be sold in a lipstick-type tube. The product will be sold to wholesalers in boxes of 24 tubes for $8 per box. Because of excess capacity, no additional fixed manufacturing overhead costs will be incurred to produce the product. However, a $135,000 charge for fixed…arrow_forwardRefer to Exercise 10.7 for data. At the end of Year 2, the manager of the Houseware Division is concerned about the divisions performance. As a result, he is considering the opportunity to invest in two independent projects. The first is called the Espresso-Pro; it is an in-home espresso maker that can brew regular coffee as well as make espresso and latte drinks. While the market for espresso drinkers is small initially, he believes this market can grow, especially around gift-giving occasions. The second is the Mini-Prep appliance that can be used to do small chopping and dicing chores that do not require a full-sized food processor. Without the investments, the division expects that Year 2 data will remain unchanged. The expected operating incomes and the outlay required for each investment are as follows: Jarriots corporate headquarters has made available up to 500,000 of capital for this division. Any funds not invested by the division will be retained by headquarters and invested to earn the companys minimum required rate of return, 9 percent. Required: 1. Compute the ROI for each investment. 2. Compute the divisional ROI (rounded to four significant digits) for each of the following four alternatives: a. The Espresso-Pro is added. b. The Mini-Prep is added. c. Both investments are added. d. Neither investment is made; the status quo is maintained. Assuming that divisional managers are evaluated and rewarded on the basis of ROI performance, which alternative do you think the divisional manager will choose?arrow_forward

Just-in-time principles Warm Space Inc. manufactures electric space heaters. While the CEO, Gwen Willis, is visiting the production facility, the following conversation takes place with the plant manager, Tyra Chastain: Gwen: As I walk around the facility, I can't help noticing all the materials inventories. What's going on? Tyra: I have found our suppliers to be very unreliable in meeting their delivery commitments. Thus, I keep a lot of materials on hand so as to not risk running out and shutting down production. Gwen: Not only do I see a lot of materials inventory, but there also seems to be a lot of finished goods inventory on hand. Why is this? Tyra: As you know, I am evaluated on maintaining a low cost per unit. The one way that I am able to reduce my unit costs is by producing as many space heaters as possible. This a.llows me to spread my fixed costs over a larger base. When orders are down, the excess production builds up as inventory, as we are seeing now.

This allows me to spread my fixed costs over a larger base. When orders are down, the excess production builds up as inventory, as we are seeing now. But don't worry—I'm really keeping our unit costs down this way. Gwen: I'm not so sure. It seems that this inventory must cost us something. Tyra: Not really. I'll eventually use the materials, and we'll eventually sell the finished goods. By keeping the plant busy, I'm using our plant assets wisely. This is reflected in the low unit costs that I'm able to maintain. If you were Gwen Willis, how would you respond to Tyra Chastain?
