The Brisbane Manufacturing Company produces a single model of a CD player. Each player is sold for $182 with a resulting contrib

ution margin of $71. Brisbane's management is considering a change in its quality control system. Currently, Brisbane spends $42,000 a year to inspect the CD players. An average of 1,900 units turn out to be defective: 1,520 of them are detected in the inspection process and are repaired for $75. If a defective CD player is not identified in the inspection process, the customer who receives it is given a full refund of the purchase price. The proposed quality control system involves the purchase of an x-ray machine for $210,000. The machine would last for five years and would have salvage value at that time of $18,000. Brisbane would also spend $470,000 immediately to train workers to better detect and repair defective units. Annual inspection costs would increase by $25,000. Brisbane expects this new control system to reduce the number of defective units to 400 per year. 350 of these defective units would be detected and repaired at a cost of only $41 per unit. Customers who still receive defective players will be given a refund equal to 120% of the purchase price.
Required:
a. What is the Year 3 cash flow if Brisbane keeps using its current system?
b. What is the Year 3 cash flow if Brisbane replaces its current system?
c. Assuming a discount rate of 8%, what is the net present value if Brisbane keeps using its current system?
d. Assuming a discount rate of 8%, what is the net present value if Brisbane replaces its current system?

Answer:

Year 3 cashflow:

current system: 243,360

alternative system: 102,240

Present cost:

current system PV -$971,665.9146

alternative system PV  -$1,075,964.17

Explanation:

<u>Current Scenario:</u>

42,000 inspection cost

<u>Repairs:</u>

1,520 identified x  $75 = 114,000

<u>Refunds:</u>

480 units x $182 = 87,360

Total yearly cost: 243,360

PV of an annuity of $243,360 during 5 years:

Present Value of Annuity  

C \times \displaystyle \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\  

C 243,360

time 5

rate 0.08

243360 \times \displaystyle \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-5} }{0.08} = PV\\  

PV $971,665.9146  

<u>New Scenario:</u>

Inspection cost: $42,000  + $25,000 = $77,000

Repair cost: 350 units x $41 = $14,320

Refunds: 50 units x $182 x 120% = $10,920

Total yearly cost: $102,240

F0 cost:

470,000 workers trainings

210,000 purchase cost

Total F0 cost: 680,000

Present Value of Annuity  

C \times \displaystyle \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\  

C 102,240

time 5

rate 0.08

102240 \times \displaystyle \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-5} }{0.08} = PV\\  

PV $408,214.6742  

PV of residual value:

PRESENT VALUE OF LUMP SUM  

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  18,000.00

time   5.00  

rate  0.08

\frac{18000}{(1 + 0.08)^{5} } = PV  

PV   12,250.50  

Net present value:

- 680,000 -408,214.67 + 12,250.50 = 1,075,964.17

Softa [21]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

In this case option A is the correct option, i.e. Carolina will accept the new cosmetic line but Sanders will reject the new cosmetic line. This is because Carolina being the president of Deed Corporation would like to take the cosmetic line differently and with the expected rate of return of 12%, i.e. higher than the minimum required rate of return of 8%.

However, Sanders has achieved a 14% rate of return from his cosmetic division thus, being the manger he would not like his performance to go down with 12% return from the new cosmetic line. Thus, option A is the correct option.
