Martin Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 118,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

$15.66 per carton

Explanation:

118,000 cartons of machine screws

equipment cost $785,000

depreciation per year = $785,000 / 5 = $157,000

fixed manufacturing costs $415,000 per year

variable costs per carton = $10.05 x 118,000 = $1,185,900

initial investment in net working capital $68,000

tax rate 24%

discount rate 12%

price per carton?

initial investment = -$853,000

CF₁ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₂ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₃ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₄ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₅ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 + $68,000 = 0.76R + $1,110,320

$853,000 = (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12 + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12² + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12³ + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12⁴ + (0.76R + $1,110,320 ) / 1.12⁵ = 0.6786R - $1,052,071.43 + 0.6059R - $939,349.49 + 0.541R - $838,704.90 + 0.483R - $748,943.66 + 0.4312R + $630,025.39

$853,000 = 2.7397R - $4,209,094.87

$5,062,094.87 = 2.7397R

R = $5,062,094.87 / 2.7397 = $1,847,682.18

total revenue = $1,847,682.18

revenue per carton = $1,847,682.18 / 118,000 = $15.6583 = $15.66

Answer:

Break even point in dollar sales = $1,050,000

Explanation:

Break Even Point in dollar sales = Fixed Cost/ Contribution margin percentage

Contribution margin percentage = (Contribution margin/ Sales) X 100

Here we have for the year 2017

Contribution margin = $194,750

Sales = $779,000

Contribution margin percentage = ($194,750/$779,000) X 100 = 25%

Break even point in dollar sales = Fixed Cost $262,500/25%

= $1,050,000

A machine costs $1,000 and has a 3-year life. the estimated salvage value at the end of three years is $100. the project is expe

AnnyKZ [126]

Cost of machine = $1,000

$NPV of revenues = p( \frac{1- (1+RoR)^{-n} }{RoR} )$ = $600( \frac{1- (1+0.1)^{-3} }{0.1} )$ = $1,492.11

$NPV of salvage value = FV ( \frac{1}{ (1+RoR)^{n} }$ )= $100( \frac{1}{ (1+0.1)^{3} } )$ = $75.13

Total NPV = -1000+1492.11+75.13 = $567.24 ≈ $567
