Project 2- Capital Budgeting
John is considering opening a hotdog stand on Michigan Avenue. John’s market research shows that the clientele is young professionals, typically without children, who like the traditional aspect of eating hotdogs, but also relish his gourmet, specially manufactured low-fat hotdogs and the healthy side dishes his stand also sells. John's overall plan is to get the stand up and running for five years, and then sell the stand off to a new owner and retire to Florida.
John estimates that the cost of starting up a stand will be as follows:
Purchase of retail kiosk (mobile retail food outlet) $500,000
Specialized kitchen equipment $50,000
Installation of the kitchen equipment $10,000
Furniture and fittings $50,000
John estimates that annual operating costs for his stand as follows:
Kitchen and service staff (5 people)- total of $200,000 per year
License and rent costs $150,000
Raw materials:
-Hotdogs- $2 per hotdog. Raw material price per burger goes…
Profit Planning and Control
This case is a manufacturer and could make specialty bikes, ski or outdoor equipment, computers, food like chocolates, saltwater taffy, cookies, or donuts, etc.
Create the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of the cash flow from the following information.
Use the following information for the learning experiences
Sales volume units = 11,000
Sales price/unit = $100
Variable manufacturing costs/unit = $60
Fixed manufacturing costs = $210,000
Fixed sales & administration costs = $190,000
Business income tax rate = 25%
Current assets = $250,000 (Cash $50,000, Accounts Receivables $100,000, Inventory $100,000)
Fixed assets = $750,000
Current liabilities = $200,000 (Accounts Payable $100,000, Short Term Debt $100,000)
Long Term Debt = $300,000
Owners' Equity = $500,000
Over the semester we have learned that one of the three pillars of our economy is capital expenditures (CAPEX) by private and public businesses. On an annual basis companies allocate a certain amount of their free cash to develop projects that will facilitate company growth and earnings, which will, in turn, improve stock prices and shareholder value. Inside this process is the selection of projects that will be selected among many different available projects. Those companies that make the best choices are the ones that will successfully grow. Those that do not will join the garbage heap of companies that fail. You have that choice as the CFO of Almost Done (AD) Enterprises. Below are the specifics about a project that has been presented. Questions concerning this project follow the specifics of the project.

The final tally is in: This year’s operating costs were down $100,000, a decrease directly attributable to the $520,000 investment in the automated materials handling system put in place at the beginning of the year. If this level of annual savings continues for five more years, resulting in six total years of annual savings, what compounded annual rate of return will that represent? If these annual savings continue for nine more years, what compounded annual rate of return will that represent? (You may ignore income taxes.) Correct answer: Interest in 6 years: 4% Interest in 9 years: 12% Question: How did it arrive to such answers?arrow_forwardReview of Basic Capital Budgeting Procedures Dr. Whitley Avard, a plastic surgeon, had just returned from a conference in which she learned of a new surgical procedure for removing wrinkles around eyes, reducing the time to perform the normal procedure by 50%. Given her patient-load pressures. Dr. Avard is excited to try out the new technique. By decreasing the time spent on eye treatments or procedures, she can increase her total revenues by performing more services within a work period. In order to implement the new procedure, special equipment costing 74,000 is needed. The equipment has an expected life of 4 years, with a salvage value of 6,000. Dr. Avard estimates that her cash revenues will increase by the following amounts: She also expects additional cash expenses amounting to 3,000 per year. The cost of capital is 12%. Assume that there are no income taxes. Required: 1. Compute the payback period for the new equipment. 2. Compute the ARR. Round the percentage to two decimal places. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the NPV and IRR for the project. Use 14% as your first guess for IRR. Should Dr. Avard purchase the new equipment? Should she be concerned about payback or the ARR in making this decision? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Before finalizing her decision. Dr. Avard decided to call two plastic surgeons who have been using the new procedure for the past 6 months. The conversations revealed a somewhat less glowing report than she received at the conference. The new procedure reduced the time required by about 25% rather than the advertised 50%. Dr. Avard estimated that the net operating cash flows of the procedure would be cut by one-third because of the extra time and cost involved (salvage value would be unaffected). Using this information, recompute the NPV of the project. What would you now recommend?arrow_forward

The purchase price of the required equipment is $280,000, including shipping and installation costs, and the equipment is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. In addition, inventories would rise by $25,000, while accounts payable would increase by $5,000. All of these costs would be incurred at t = 0. The project is expected to operate for 4 years, at which time it will be terminated.
