Alfa-Group, together with its subsidiaries as a group, is principally engaged in the provision of integrated logistic services, which include the planning, procurement and logistics management of construction materials mainly for infrastructure projects in Banten Province.Mr. Dono suggested in his report that no depreciation is required for the warehouses since they are investment properties rather than property, plant and equipment.Warehouses are investment properties because rental is charged to the customers if they delay the receipt of cargoes from the warehouses.
Required: Assume that you are Mr. Kasino, the finance manager, and draft a report for Mr. Indro, the Chairman of Alfa-Group. In your report, you should discuss and comment on Mr. Dono’s argument that the warehouses should be treated as investment properties so thatthey are not subject to depreciation.

- The Blair Company’s three assembly plants are located in California, Georgia, and New Jersey. Previously, the company purchased a major subassembly, which becomes part of the final product, from an outside firm. Blair has decided to manufacture the subassemblies within the company and must now consider whether to rent one centrally located facility (e.g., in Missouri, where all the subassemblies would be manufactured) or to rent three separate facilities, each located near one of the assembly plants, where each facility would manufacture only the subassemblies needed for the nearby assembly plant. A single, centrally located facility, with a production capacity of 18,000 units per year, would have fixed costs of $900,000 per year and a variable cost of $250 per unit. Three separate decentralized facilities, with production capacities of 8,000, 6,000, and 4,000 units per year, would have fixed costs of $475,000, $425,000, and $400,000, respectively, and variable costs per unit of only…arrow_forwardBlackburn Inc. uses Otavalo Manufacturing and Piura Company to buy two precision machined parts used in the manufacture of its permanent-magnet motors: Part #625 and Part #827.

You have the opportunity to expand your product line to include a new semi-conductor wafer fabrication line. In order to produce the new wafer, you must invest in a new production process. In addition to doing nothing, two mutually exclusive processes are currently available to produce the wafer. Should you produce this new wafer? In other words, which, if either, of the alternative processes should be chosen? Note: IRR for Alternative I = 15.7 %, and IRR for Alternative II = 15.6%. Assume that the capital investment for each alternative occurs at year 0 and that the annual revenues and expenses first occur at the end of year one.

- A plastic-manufacturing company owns and operates a polypropylene-production facility that converts the propylene from one of its cracking facilities to polypropylene plastics for outside sale. The polypropylene-production facility is currently forced to operate at less than capacity due to lack of enough propylene-production capacity in its hydrocarbon-cracking facility. The chemical engineers are considering alternatives for supplying additional propylene to the polypropylene productionfacility. Some of the feasible alternatives are as follows:Option 1: Build a pipeline to the nearest outs.ide supply source.Option 2: Provide additional propylene by truck from an outside source.The engineers also gathered the following projected cost estimates:Hi Future costs for purchased propylene, excluding delivery: $0.215 per lb1. Cost of pipeline construction: $200,000 per pipeline mile2. Estimated length of pipeline: 180 miles3.
