Vang Enterprises, which is debt-free and finances only with equity from retained earnings, is considering 7 equal-sized capital

budgeting projects. Its CFO hired you to assist in deciding whether none, some, or all of the projects should be accepted. You have the following information: rRF= 4.50%; RPM = 5.50%; and b = 0.93. The company adds or subtracts a specified percentage to the corporate WACC when it evaluates projects that have above- or below-average risk. Data on the 7 projects are shown below. If these are the only projects under consideration, how large should the capital budget be?

-$64000. The calculation of the net total occurs as follows: Direct material = $11.30, Direct labor = $22.70, Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.20, Fixed manufacturing overhead ($24.70 - $21.90) = $2.80. The total relevant cost is derived from the sum of the direct material, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead, and fixed manufacturing overhead totaling $38.00. The total cost associated with manufacturing is derived from relevant cost per unit multiplied by the number of units plus the opportunity contribution margin lost, calculated to be $1,784,000. The overall cost for purchasing stands at $1,848,000. Thus, the net total equals the total cost of making minus the total cost of buying, amounting to -$64000.

Scilla [3833]

Answer:

1.                                            Variable           Fixed

Cost of goods sold          70,000,000     30,000,000

Selling Expenses             12,000,000        4,000,000

Administrative Exp.           6,000,000         6,000,000

Total                                  88,000,000     40,000,000

Note:

Cost of goods sold: 70% variable and 30% fixed on 10,000,000 respectively

Selling expenses: 75% variable and 25% fixed on $16,000,000 respectively

Administrative expenses: 50% variable and 50% fixed on $12,000,000 respectively

2. Unit Variable cost = Total variable cost / Units produced

Total Variable cost          88,000,000

Units produced                  1,000,000

Unit variable cost                  88      

Unit Contribution margin = Selling Price - Variable cost per unit

Selling Price                    $188

- Variable cost per unit       $88

Unit Contribution margin   $100

3. Break even Point (Units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                    40,000,000

Contribution margin per Unit           100    

Break even Point (Units)               400,000

4. Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                           40,000,000

Increased Fixed cost                           5,000,000

Total New fixed cost                          45,000,000

Contribution margin per unit                   100      

Break even point (units)                      450,000

5. Determined sales units = (New fixed cost + Desired Income) / Contribution margin

New Fixed Cost                45,000,000

Desired Income                60,000,000

                                         105,000,000

Contribution margin                100        

per unit

Determined sales units      1,050,000

6. Maximum Income from operation = Total New sales - Total New variable cost - Total Fixed cost

Sales                               188,000,000

Increased sales               11,280,000

Total New sales              199,289,000

Variable cost                    88,000,000

New Variable cost     5,280,000

Total New Variable cost   93,280,000

Total New Fixed cost       45,000,000

Maximum Income from   61,000,000

operation

Number of units = Increase in sales / Price per unit

New variable cost = Number of units * Unit variable cost

Increased sales                    11,280,000

Price per unit                            188    

Number of units                      60,000

Unit variable cost x                  88.00

New Variable cost                 5,280,000

7. Net income = Sales - Variable cost - New fixed cost

Sales                           188,000,000

Less: Variable cost      88,000,000

Less: New fixed cost   45,000,000

Net Income                  55,000,000

8. Option b. Supporting the proposal due to its potential to boost operational income.

A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the IRR rule. A project under consideration has the following cash flows:Year C
marusya05 [3725]

Answer:

IRR = 14.96%

The project should be rejected, because the calculated internal rate of return falls short of the required return (14.96% < 16%).

Explanation:

The internal rate of return (IRR) is an essential calculation in capital budgeting for assessing potential investment profitability. The IRR rule guides whether to pursue a project or investment, stipulating that if the IRR exceeds the minimum required return, the project should be accepted. Conversely, if it’s lower than the cost of capital or the requisite return, the project should be turned down.

The formula used is as follows:

$0 = (initial investment x -1) + CF1 / (1 + IRR) ^ 1 + CF2 / (1 + IRR) ^ 2 +... + CFX / (1 + IRR) ^ X

Initial Investment = Total initial investment costs year x-1

CFx = Cash Flow during period X

IRR = Internal rate of return

Due to the nature of the IRR formula, it cannot be computed analytically; it must be derived through trial and error or via specialized software for IRR calculation.

In this instance:

IRR = -27200 + 11200 / (1 + IRR) ^ 1 + 14200 / (1 + IRR) ^ 2 + 10200 / (1 + IRR) ^ 3

IRR = 14.96%

The company should not proceed with the investment, as the calculated IRR is less than what is required (14.96% < 16%).
