"in my opinion, we ought to stop making our own drums and accept that outside supplier's offer," said wim niewindt, managing dir

ector of antilles refining, n.v., of aruba. "at a price of $21 per drum, we would be paying $4.70 less than it costs us to manufacture the drums in our own plant. since we use 70,000 drums a year, that would be an annual cost savings of $329,000." antilles refining's current cost to manufacture one drum is given below (based on 70,000 drums per year):

Answer:

Net income under variable costing would be $429,000.

Explanation:

Under the variable costing method the most important point to understand here is that fixed cost of the previous period ( 3000 units in this case ) would not be carried over to current period. Which means that the fixed cost and cost of goods sold be less now and the profit will increase.

NET INCOME =

SALES                                   = $ 1035,000  ( 23,000 X 45 )

(-) COST OF GOODS SOLD  = ($ 391,000) ( 23000 X 17 )

 ( We have multiplied 23,000 units by 17 because now those fixed cost of $5 are not carried forward to this period)

GROSS CONTRIBUTION MARGIN  = $1035,000 - $391,000

                                                          = $644,000

(-)VARIABLE SELLING AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES = ($69,000)

 ( $115,000 X 60% )

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN = $644,000 - $69,000

                                           = $575,000

(LESS) FIXED COSTS          = ($146,000)   [ $100,000 + $46,000 ]

1) MANUFACTURING COST = 20,000 X $5

                                              = $100,000

2) SELLING AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES = $115,000 X 40%

                                                                                = $46,000

INCOME  = $575,000 - $146,000

                = $429,000

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

City                    2% 10%         20%  30%          50% 100%

Denver        80.93 -22.58 -100.47 -147.92 -200.06 -248.20

Dallas        453.59 180.88 -24.31 -149.32 -286.69 -413.54

SanAntonio 407.08 174.19 -1.05 -107.81 -225.13 -333.46

LosAngeles 473.36 140.93 -109.19 -261.57 -429.03 -583.65

Cleveland -18.14 -53.97 -80.93 -97.36 -115.40 -132.07

Atlanta       158.95 61.41 -11.98 -56.69 -105.82 -151.19

Chicago         0.00 0.00   0.00    0.00     0.00     0.00

b) The manufacturing plant should be located in Dallas (IRR=19%).

Explanation:

We have the cost and uniform annual benefits for each city:

Plant Location First Cost ($000s) Uniform Annual Benefit($000s)

Denver 300 52

Dallas 550 137

San Antonio 450 117

Los Angeles 750 167

Cleveland 150 18

Atlanta 200 49

Chicago 0 0

The cash flow can be written as:

NPV=-I_0+CF[\frac{1-(1+i)^{-8})}{i}]=-I_0+CF\cdot A

where:

I0: first cost.

CF: uniform annual benefit

i: discount rate

A: annuity factor

The annuity factor that multiplies the CF is equal for every city, so it can be calculated beforehand:

A=\frac{1-(1+i)^{-8})}{i}

For some rate of returns, we have:

r=2% A=7.33

r=10% A=5.33

r=20% A=3.84

r=30% A=2.92

r=50% A=1.92

r=100% A=1.00

a) Then, for each city, we have this NPV, in function of differents discount rates:

City                    2% 10%         20%  30%          50% 100%

Denver        80.93 -22.58 -100.47 -147.92 -200.06 -248.20

Dallas        453.59 180.88 -24.31 -149.32 -286.69 -413.54

SanAntonio 407.08 174.19 -1.05 -107.81 -225.13 -333.46

LosAngeles 473.36 140.93 -109.19 -261.57 -429.03 -583.65

Cleveland -18.14 -53.97 -80.93 -97.36 -115.40 -132.07

Atlanta       158.95 61.41 -11.98 -56.69 -105.82 -151.19

Chicago         0.00 0.00   0.00    0.00     0.00     0.00

b) The firm uses a 10% annual interest. For this situation, we can look up in the table from the previos question and see that Dallas has the higher NPV at this discount rate.

So the manufacturing plant should be located in Dallas.

(NOTE: the IRR of the project relocating to Dallas is 19%)
