Comfy Mattresses, Inc., is opening a new plant in Orlando, Florida. Ron Lane, distribution manager, has been asked to find the lowest cost outbound logistics system. Given an annual sales volume of 24,000 mattresses, determine the costs associated with each option below.

a. Build a private warehouse near the plant for $300,000. The variable cost, including warehouse maintenance and labor, is estimated at $5 per unit. Contract carrier transportation costs $12.50 per unit on average. No external transportation services are necessary for shipment of mattresses from the plant to the warehouse in this scenario. The fixed warehouse investment can be depreciated evenly over 10 years.

b. Rent space in a public warehouse 10 miles from the plant. The public warehouse requires no fixed investment but has variable costs of $8 per unit. Outbound contract carrier transportation would cost $12.50 per unit on average. The carrier at charges $5 per unit to deliver the mattresses to the warehouse from the plant.

c. Contract the warehousing and transportation services to the Freeflow Logistic Company, an integrated logistics firm with a warehouse location 25 miles from the plan. Freeflow requires a fixed investment of $150,000 and charges $20 per unit for all services originating at the plant. The fixed investment covers a 10-year agreement with Freeflow.

d. Name a few advantages aside from cost that the low-cost alternative above may have over the other alternatives.

Explanation:

Let us weigh different options for Comfy Mattresses:

Option A

building cost for a private warehouse near the plant(one time fixed cost)  = $300,000

maintenance warehouse of  $ 5 per unit= (24000 X5) = $120,000

cost of contract carrier $12.50 per unit = (24000X12.50) = $300,000

Total cost = $420,000 $(120000+300000)

Depreciation @ 10% = $30,000

Total cost in a year = $450,000 (Total cost + Depreciation = $(420000 +30000))

Option 2

Variable cost=  (24000 X8) $192000

Transportation of outbound carrier = (24000X12.50) $300,000

Carrier charges from warehouse to plant= (24000 X5) $120,000

Total = $612,000 (192000+300000+120000)

Option 3

Company's freeflow Logistic - Fixed investment = $150,000

Other charges =  (24000 X20) = $480,000

Total = $630,000 = $(150000 + 480000)

The best option is the first option. The investment in the first  is more, but after deducting a depreciation of 10% every year the cost would be much less. The total cost in the first year  would be $750,000 if we take depreciation which is more than the 2nd and 3rd option.

The cost will be drastically reduced for the second year. It will  be $450,000, which covers the extra investment done in the warehouse during the first year. From the third year onward, the benefit of going with the first option will start showing.

If we are to  rate all the options, Option 3 would be second in order, after the first option. Here Comfy Mattresses Inc outsources all the services to a private vendor  by paying little extra amount than Option 2. Ina way all the risk as well as tension of transportation and running the plant is passed on the the vendor (Freeflow Logistic Company).

​Martinville, Inc. earned revenues of $ 17,000 and incurred expenses of $ 7,000. The company declared and paid cash dividends of
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

A company's income is either shared out as dividends or kept in as retained earnings. Therefore, the total of retained earnings and dividend paid out is the net income. This is the amount that will reflect in the income statement. In other words, income is calculated first before dividends or retained earnings are declared.

For ​Martinville, income will be calculated first before dividends are paid. Net income will be

=revenue - expenses

=$17,000 -$7,000

=$10,000

Balance in the Income Summary account was $10,000

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.

a) Income Statement for Year Ending December 31

                                                              Year 1              Year 2 (Forecasted)

Net sales                                              $30,000,000       $37,500,000

Less: Operating costs                            19,500,000          24,375,000

Depreciation &amortization expenses    1,200,000            1,200,000

Operating income (or EBIT)                  $9,300,000         $11,925,000

Less: Interest expense                              930,000              1,788,750

Pre-tax income (or EBT)                          8,370,000            10,136,250

Less: Taxes (40%)                                   3,348,000             4,054,500

Earnings after taxes                            $5,022,000            $6,081,750

Less: Preferred stock dividends               100,000                 100,000

Earnings to common shareholders      4,922,000              5,981,750

Less: Common stock dividends           2,008,800              2,432,700

Contribution to retained earnings      $2,913,200           $3,549,050

b) In Year 2, if Green Caterpillar has 5,000 shares of preferred stocks issued and outstanding, then each preferred share should expect to receive _ $20 _ in annual dividends.

-If Green Caterpillars has 400,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, then the firm's earnings per share (EPS) is expected to change from _ $12.31 _ in Year 1 to _ $14.95 _ in Year 2.

-Green Caterpillar's before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) value changed from _ $10,500,000 _ in Year 1 to _ $13,125,000_ in Year 2.

-It is _ wrong _ to say that Green Caterpillar's net inflows and outflows of cash at the end of Years 1 and 2 are equal to the company's annual contribution to retained earnings, $2,913,200 and $3,549,050, respectively. This is because _ not all_ of the items reported in the income statement involve payments and receipts of cash.

Explanation:

a) The preferred dividend per share = Preferred Dividends divided the number of preferred stock shares.

b) The EPS is the Earnings Per Share and is calculated as Net Income to Common Stockholders divided by the number of common stock shares outstanding.

The operating cost figure may not be based on a cash basis.  It could be accrued costs.  Similarly, the net sales may as well involve sales on credit, which do not involve cash flows.
