d Teak-wood rocking chair. For this purpose, the company needs a warehouse to store the goods. The company has forecasted the demand of the chair to be 4000 units each year for the next four years. The revenue generated by the company is Rs.20000 per chair. A single chair takes up an area of about 10 square feet. Swift Logistics, a warehousing expert company, has offered to provide its services for storage of the goods. It has presented two alternatives: either to Lease the warehouse at the rate of Rs.10000 per 100 square feet or have it on Spot Market rate which is Rs.15000 per 100 square feet. Task: a) Being the supply chain manager of “The Designers”, you have to decide either to hire the warehouse on Lease or choose On Spot rate on the basis of a Discounted Cash Flow Analysis with discount rate of 15%; considering the fact that the only relevant cost is the warehouse cost (7 marks) b) If the company decides to shut down the production after two years, will the option chosen in Part (a) still be feasible? Provide justification for your answer (3 marks) Instructions:  In this assignment, you have to calculate the NPV (Net Present Value) of both options.  You are required to show the necessary calculations in solution.  No theoretical definitions and explanations a

Answer:

a. I would consider consider leasing since the profits gained from leasing ($216,978,355.60) is greater compared to the profits if a spot rate is considered ($214,676,191.10) in 4 years.

b. I would consider consider leasing since the value gained from leasing ($123,553,875.20) is greater compared to the value if a spot rate is considered ($120,982,986.80) in 2 years.  

Explanation:

a. Determine best option

<em>Step 1: Determine total revenue per year if they meet the demand.</em>

Total revenue per year=revenue per chair×number of chairs per year

where;

revenue per chair=Rs.20,000

number of chairs per year=4,000 units

replacing;

Total revenue per year=(20,000×4,000)=$80,000,000

<em>Step 2: Determine the net revenue per year for Leasing</em>

Net revenue=total revenue-total cost for leasing

total cost for leasing=cost per chair per square feet×area per chair×number of chairs

where;

cost per chair per square feet=10,000/100=$100

area per chair=10 square feet

number of chairs=4,000

replacing;

total cost for leasing=100×10×4,000=$4,000,000

Net revenue=80,000,000-4,000,000=76,000,000 per year

<em>Step 3: Determine the present value of the net revenue per year for Leasing</em>

Year       Future cash flow            Present cash flow                 Amount

 1            76,000,000               76,000,000/{(1+0.15)^1}         66,086,956.52

 2           76,000,000               76,000,000/{(1+0.15)^2}         57,466,918.71

 3           76,000,000               76,000,000/{(1+0.15)^3}         49,971,233.66

 4           76,000,000               76,000,000/{(1+0.15)^4}         43,453,246.67

Total present value of the future net revenue for leasing=(66,086,956.52+57,466,918.71+49,971,233.66+43,453,246.67)=

$216,978,355.60

<em>Step 3: Determine the present value for the cost for spot Market rate</em>

Since the spot market rate is paid once;

Total cost=(15,000/100)×10×4,000=$6,000,000

Total cost in four years=6,000,000×4=$24,000,000

Present value of spot rate cost=24,000,000/{(1+0.15)^4}=$13,722,077.89

<em>Step 4: Determine the present value of the revenue per year </em>

Year       Future cash flow            Present cash flow                 Amount

 1            80,000,000               80,000,000/{(1+0.15)^1}         69,565,217.39

 2           80,000,000               80,000,000/{(1+0.15)^2}         60,491,493.38

 3           80,000,000               80,000,000/{(1+0.15)^3}         52,601,298.59

 4           80,000,000               80,000,000/{(1+0.15)^4}         45,740,259.65

Present value of Total revenue=69,565,217.39+60,491,493.38+52,601,298.59+45,740,259.65=

$228,398,269

<em>Step 5: Determine the present value of the net revenue per year for sport rate</em>

Net present value=(228,398,269-13,722,077.89)=$214,676,191.10

I would consider consider leasing since the profits gained from leasing ($216,978,355.60) is greater compared to the profits if a spot rate is considered ($214,676,191.10).

b.

<em>Step 6: Consider NPV for 2 years if they Lease</em>

Year       Future cash flow            Present cash flow                 Amount

 1            76,000,000               76,000,000/{(1+0.15)^1}         66,086,956.52

 2           76,000,000               76,000,000/{(1+0.15)^2}         57,466,918.71

Net present value=(66,086,956.52+57,466,918.71)=$123,553,875.20

<em>Step 7: Consider total revenue if the use a spot rate</em>

Year       Future cash flow            Present cash flow                 Amount

 1            80,000,000               80,000,000/{(1+0.15)^1}         69,565,217.39

 2           80,000,000               80,000,000/{(1+0.15)^2}         60,491,493.38

Total revenue=(69,565,217.39+60,491,493.38)=$130,056,710.80

<em>Step 7: Consider cost for 2 years if they use a spot rate</em>

Total cost=6,000,000×2=$12,000,000

Present value=12,000,000/{(1+0.15)^2}=$9,073,724.008

Net present value=130,056,710.80-9,073,724.008=$120,982,986.80

I would consider consider leasing since the value gained from leasing ($123,553,875.20) is greater compared to the value if a spot rate is considered ($120,982,986.80) in 2 years.

Given the following make-buy information, what would be the break-even point?Make Option Buy OptionFixed Costs $15000$1250Variab
grin007 [14]

Answer:

d. 2750 units

Explanation:

The break-even point occurs when the make option cost equals the buy option cost. The number of units 'x' needed in order for both options to yield the same costs is given by:

\$15,000+x*\$5=\$1,250+x*\$10\\\\x=\frac{\$15,000-\$1,250}{\$10-\$5}\\\\x=2,750\ units

The break-even point is 2,750 units
