Explanation:
Fist we will calculate the present value of $10,000 payment
A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The discounting of these payment on a specified rate is known as present value of annuity. The value of the annuity is also determined by the present value of annuity payment.
Formula for Present value of annuity is as follow
PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]
Where
P = Annual payment = $10,000
r = rate of return = 10% / 2 = 5%
n = number of period = 5 years x 2 semiannual payments per year = 10 payments
PV of annuity = $10,000 x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 0.05 )^-10 ) / 0.05 ]
PV of Annuity = $77,217
Now we will use the discounting method to calculate the present value of lump sum payment of $20,000
Present value = Future value x Present value factor
PV = FV x ( 1 + r )^-n
PV = $20,000 x ( 1 + 0.1 )^-6
PV = $11,289
Question:
A potato chip manufacturer purchases a potato farm. Which of the following regarding its strategy is true?
A. The manufacturer has effectively used vertical integration to increase its bargaining position and reduce transaction costs.
B. The manufacturer has enhanced utilisation by allowing depreciation and other fixed costs to be spread over a larger unit volume.
C. The manufacturer has sacrificed quality by using a lower-cost input.
D. The manufacturer has efficiently capitalised on the experience and learning-curve effects within the company.
E. The manufacturer has effectively reduced its operating costs by outsourcing its activities.
Answer:
A. the Manufacturer has effectively used vertical integration to increase it's bargaining position and reduce transaction costs.
Explanation:
Vertical integration is a business strategy whereby a business acquires ownership or controls its suppliers, distributors, or retail locations to control its value or supply chain.
It may also be said that vertical integration has to do with the purchase of a part of all of the production or sales process that was previously outsourced, to have it done in-house.
An example of companies who have done this are:
1. Apple
2. Netflix
3. Comcast (Which acquired NBC)
Businesses can integrate by
- purchasing their suppliers to reduce the costs of manufacturing or
- controlling the distribution process that is, owning and controlling the warehousing and delivery of their products etc.
