María has 2 “carretas” for selling her products in shopping centers (One “carreta” per location: Plaza Carolina, Plaza del Sol). Each location sells annually $285,000 (Total Sales Revenues $570000 = 285000 * 2) with a 40% Gross Margin. Annually each location has salaries and related expenses of $45,000. Annual expenses for Rent and all other expenses are $56,000 for each location.
To improve sales and profits, Maria is considering the strategy of adding a “carreta” in Plaza Las Américas (PLA) where she expects to sell per year $345000. In PLA annual salaries and related expenses would also be $45,000, but rent and other costs would be $68000. The initial investment to start in PLA would be $25,000 (for inventory and some rent prepayments). Required Return is 20%.
What is the strategy Net Present Value (adding Plaza Las Américas)?
Solve the following:
A company recently established a branch to sell its most popular fan. The company purchases these fans and stores them in a warehouse. The fans are then shipped from the warehouse to both the home office and the new branch, FOB destination. Home office management is responsible for setting the transfer price of the fans charged to the branch in a manner that will measure the long-run incremental cost of supplying the fans to the branch on a continuing basis. Per unit costs for the fans are
P50.00 purchase price
P2.50 shipping cost to warehouse
P3.00 handling cost including P1.00 of allocated administrative overhead
P3.50 shipping cost to branch paid by home office
P1.25 shipping cost to home office
The minimum transfer price that home office should charge the branch to meet its measurement objective is?

Carlos Ruiz, one of the firms founders, appreciates the success his firm has enjoyed and wants to give something back to his community. He believes that an inexpensive accounting services clinic could provide basic accounting services for small businesses located in the barrio. He wants to price the services at cost. Since the clinic is brand new, it has no experience to go on. Carlos decided to operate the clinic for 2 months before determining how much to charge per hour on an ongoing basis. As a temporary measure, the clinic adopted an hourly charge of 25, half the amount charged by Fonseca, Ruiz, and Dunn for professional services. The accounting services clinic opened on January 1. During January, the clinic had 120 hours of professional service. During February, the activity was 150 hours. Costs for these two levels of activity usage are as follows: Required: 1. Classify each cost as fixed, variable, or mixed, using hours of professional service as the activity driver. 2. Use the high-low method to separate the mixed costs into their fixed and variable components. (Note: Round variable rates to two decimal places and fixed amounts to the nearest dollar.) 3. Luz Mondragon, the chief paraprofessional of the clinic, has estimated that the clinic will average 140 professional hours per month. If the clinic is to be operated as a nonprofit organization, how much will it need to charge per professional hour ? How much of this charge is variable? How much is fixed? (Note: Round answers to two decimal places.) 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose the accounting center averages 170 professional hours per month. How much would need to be charged per hour for the center to cover its costs ? Explain why the per-hour charge decreased as the activity output increased.

- Simple Rate of Return; Payback Period; Internal Rate of Return The Elberta Fruit Farm of Ontario always has hired transient workers to pick its annual cherry crop. Janessa Wright, the farm manager, just received information on a cherry picking machine that is being purchased by many fruit farms.

Ms. Wright has gathered the following information to decide whether a cherry picker would be a profitable investment for the Elberta Fruit Farm: a. Currently, the farm is paying an average of $40,000 per year to transient workers to pick the cherries. b. The cherry picker would cost $94,500, and it would have an estimated 12-year useful life.
