Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information: we are to:

a)  Prepare an income statement for Ponzi for today and for each of the next three quarters. Ignore taxes. (LO1)

An income statement involves depicts the achievement of a certain business over  a period of time .

The income statement for Ponzi for today and for each of the next three quarters is as follows:

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Sales                   $0                  $550              $600             $0

 (-)

cost of goods       0                   $500              $500             $0

sold

Net income           0                  $50                 $100               0

We will see that  in the first and the fourth quarter ; the firm neither pay any cash to purchase goods nor collect cash for sales. Thus ; the cashflow will be zero in those instances and we will consider only the second and the fourth quarter for sales income and production cost.

SO:

Quarter 2 sales = 50 × 11 = $550

Quarter 3 sales = 50 × 12 = $600

(b) What are the cash flows for the company today and in each of the next three quarters?

Cash flow is like a database that helps to keep tracks and records the cash inflows and cash outflows of a financial instrument.

The cash flow in each month is as follows:

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Sales                   $0                  $550              $600             $0

 (-)

cost of goods       0                   $500              $500             $0

sold

Net income           0                  $50                 $100               0

Inventories         $1000          $500                   0                  0

Account

Receivables       0                    550                  600                0

Net working

capital                 $1000          $1050             $600                0

Change in WC   $1000           $50                 $450              $600

CashFlow           $1000          $0                  $550              $600

Hint:

The Cash flow = net income - change in net working capital

The net working capital = Inventory + Account receivables

Quarter 2 sales = 50 × 11 = $550

Quarter 3 sales = 50 × 12 = $600

(c) What is Ponzi’s net working capital in each quarter? (LO1)

The net working capital in each quarter can be illustrated as :

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Inventories        $1000             $500              0                    $0

Account recei-    0                   $550              $600             $0

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Pack-and-Go

1. From a financial perspective, Pack-and-Go should invest in the new technology.  It will enjoy a contribution margin of 97.5%.

2. The break-even increase in annual revenue that would justify the investment in the new technology is:

Fixed cost = Contribution

$80,000 = Contribution - $8,000

= $72,000 ($80,000 - $8,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expected cost of new technology investment = $80,000

Delivery performance:

                                           Decision Alternative

                                              After Implementing

Item                               Current System      New Technology

On-time delivery rate              80%                       95%

Variable cost per package lost

 or damaged                          $30                        $30

Allocated fixed cost per

 package lost or damaged   $10                         $10

Annual number of packages

 lost or damaged                 300                         100

Variable cost for lost or

 damaged packages      $9,000 (300*$30)      $3,000 (100*$30)

Fixed cost for lost or

 damaged packages        3,000 (300*$10)       $1,000 (100*$10)

Total cost for lost or

damaged packages      $12,000                       $4,000

Increase in the on-time performance rate = 95% - 80% = 15%

Increase in annual Revenue = $10,000 * 15 = $150,000

Savings from lost or damaged packages =           8,000 ($12,000 - $4,000)

Total savings from new technology =              $158,000

Annual cost of new technology =                       (80,000)

Net savings from new technology =                  $78,000

Contribution margin based on net savings = $78,000/$80,000 * 100 = 97.5%

Average contribution margin = 40%
