- Materials used by the Instrument Division of Ziegler Inc. are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of 1,350 per unit. However, the same materials are available from the Components Division. The Components Division has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by the Instrument Division at a variable cost of 900 per unit. a. If a transfer price of 1,000 per unit is established and 75,000 units of materials are transferred, with no reduction in the Components Divisions current sales, how much would Ziegler Inc.s total operating income increase? b. How much would the Instrument Divisions operating income increase? c. How much would the Components Divisions operating income increase?arrow_forwardA firm that plans to expand its product line must decide whether to build a small or a large facilityto produce the new products. If it builds a small facility and demand is low, the net present valueafter deducting for building costs will be $400,000. If demand is high, the firm can either maintainthe small facility or expand it. Expansion would have a net present value of $450,000, and maintaining the small facility would have a net present value of $50,000.If a large facility is built and demand is high, the estimated net present value is $800,000. If demandturns out to be low, the net present value will be – $10,000.The probability that demand will be high is estimated to be .60, and the probability of low demandis estimated to be .40.a. Analyze using a tree diagram.b. Compute the EVPI. How could this information be used?c. Determine the range over which each alternative would be best in terms of the value of P(demand low).arrow_forwardThe RV company, engaged in the fabrication of automobile engine part withproduction capacity of 700,000 units per year, is only operating at 65% capacity due to unavailability of the necessary foreign currency to finance the importation of their raw materials.

- Kolenda Technology Group has a contract to build a network for a customer for a total sales price of $10 million. Th is network will take an estimated three years to build, but considerable uncertainty surrounds total building costs because new technologies are involved. In other words, the outcome cannot be reliably measured, but it is probable that the costs up to the agreed upon price will be recovered. Assuming the following expenditures, how much revenue, expense (cost of construction), and income would the company recognize each year under IFRS and using the completed contract method under US GAAP? Th e amounts periodically billed to the customer and received from the customer are not necessarily equivalent to the amount of revenue being recognized in the period. For simplicity, assume Kolenda pays cash for all expenditures. 1 . At the end of Year 1, Kolenda has spent $3 million. 2 . At the end of Year 2, Kolenda has spent a total of $5.4 million. 3 . At the end of Year 3, the…arrow_forwardAny one of these different product lines can be produced by Bubble Mills, Inc., with the present equipment in one of the divisions.

- The Plastics Division of Minock Manufacturing currently earns $2.53 million and has divisional assets of $22 million. The division manager is considering the acquisition of a new asset that will add to profit. The investment has a cost of $5,514,000 and will have a yearly cash flow of $1,470,500. The asset will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a five-year life and is expected to have no salvage value. Divisional performance is measured using ROI with beginning-of-year net book values in the denominator. The company’s cost of capital is 7 percent. Ignore taxes. Required: What is the divisional ROI before acquisition of the new asset? What is the divisional ROI in the first year after acquisition of the new asset? Note: For all requirements, enter your answers as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 32.1).arrow_forwardAssume that a company is considering purchasing a machine for $100,000 that will have a seven-year useful life and a $16,500 salvage value. The machine will lower operating costs by $18,000 per year and increase sales volume by 1,000 units per year. The company earns a contribution margin of $3.00 per unit. The company also expects this investment to provide qualitative benefits that it is struggling to incorporate into its financial analysis. Assuming the company’s required rate of return is 17%, the minimum dollar value per year that must be provided by the machine’s qualitative benefits to justify the $100,000 investment is closest to: Click here to view Exhibit 7B-1 and Exhibit 7B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.arrow_forwardLast year Jain Technologies had $250 million of sales and $100 million of fixed assets, so its Fixed Assets/Sales ratio was 40%. However, its fixed assets were used at only 40% of capacity. Now the company is developing its financial forecast for the coming year. As part of that process, the company wants to set its target Fixed Assets/Sales ratio at the level, it would have had, had it been operating at full capacity. What target Fixed Assets/Sales ratio should the company set? Please explain the process and show calculations.arrow_forward

Division B has a weighted average cost of capital of 9.5% and is looking at a new project that will generate a profit of $1,350,000 from a machine that costs $5,000.000. A. Calculate the EVA for each of Banyans divisions. B. Calculate the RI for each of Banyans division. C. If Banyan uses EVA to evaluate the projects, which division has the better project and by how much? D. If Banyan uses RI, which division has the better project and by how much? E.

Ryland Computer Company is considering a plant expansion to enable the company to begin production of a new computer product. The companys president must determine whether to make the expansion a medium- or large-scale project. Demand for the new product is uncertain, which for planning purposes may be low demand, medium demand, or high demand. The probability estimates for demand are 0.20, 0.50, and 0.30, respectively. Letting x and y indicate the annual profit in thousands of dollars, the firms planners developed the following profit forecasts for the medium-and large-scale expansion projects. a.
