The termination of Kristofer's employment was motivated by the fact that his decision to acquire Fjords Unlimited at the cost of $9 million in today's present value when the predicted revenue from the investment would yield $7,985,420.07 in present value terms.

  • This implies that Kristofer made a poor investment that had cost Norwegian Cruises more than the expected cash inflows.  The investment was a loss-making one and could not have been authorized by the board of directors.

  • If Kristofer had invested the $9 million at the short-term interest rate of 8% per year, his company would be richer by $5,544,000 {($9,000,000 x 1.616) - $9,000,000} after 5 years.

Thus, the acquisition investment in Fjords Umlimited by Kristofer was very poor.

Data and Calculations:

Short-term interest rate = 8%

Present value of cash outflow for the acquisition of Fjords Unlimited = $9 million

Predicted annual sales revenue from the acquisition = $2 million

From finance calculator:

N (# of periods) = 5 years

I/Y (Interest per year) = 8%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $2,000,000

FV (Future Value) =  $0

PV (Present Value of Revenue) = $7,985,420.07

Sum of all cash receipts over 5 years = $10,000,000.00

Marianna [84]

Trescott company had the following results of operations for the past year:

Sales (20,000 units at $22) $440,000

Direct materials and direct labor $200,000

Overhead (40% variable) 100,000

Selling and Administrative expenses (all fixed) 92,000 (392,000)

Operating income $ 48,000

A foreign company (whose sales will not affect Trescott's market) offers to buy 3,000 units at $17.00 per unit. In addition to the variable manufacturing costs, selling these units would increase fixed overhead by $500 and selling and administrative costs by $1,000. If Trescott accepts the offer, its profits will increase (decrease) by:

Answer : If Cornish accepts this order, its profits will increase by $13,500.

<u>Calculation of Variable Costs per unit :</u>

Direct Material and labor per unit = Total Direct Material and labor / No. of units sold

Direct Material and labor per unit =200000/20000 = $10

Variable Overhead per unit = Total Variable Overhead / No. of units sold

Variable Overhead per unit = (100000*0.4)/20000 = $2

Variable Cost per unit = $12 (Direct Material and labor per unit + Variable Overhead per unit)

Selling price of new order = $17 per unit

No. of units = 3,000

Increase in Fixed Costs = Inc in fixed overhead + inc in S&A Expenses

Increase in Fixed Costs = $1500 (500 + 1000)

Total Cost of new order = (Variable Cost per unit * No. of units) + Increased Fixed Cost

Total Cost of new order = (12*3000) + 1500 = $37,500

Total Revenues from new order = Selling price per unit * No. of units sold

Total Revenues = $51,000 (17 *3,000)

Profit from new order = Total Revenues from new order - Total Cost of new order

Profit from new order = 51000 - 37500 = $13,500
