Total operating costs = FC + (Q x VC)
Total operating costs = $73,500 + (21,000 x $10.48)
Total operating costs= $293,580
c)
2,000 x 12 = 24,000 CDs per year. 2,000 records per month exceeds the operating breakeven by
3,000 records per year. Barry should go into the CD business.
d)
EBIT = (P x Q) - FC - (VC x Q)
EBIT = ($13.98 x 24,000) - $73,500 - ($10.48 x 24,000)
EBIT = $335,520 - $73,500 - $251,520
EBIT = $10,500
P13-3)
a)
AAI = 360 6 times inventory = 60 days
OC = AAI + ACP
= 60 days + 45 days
= 105 days
CCC = OC - APP
= 105 days - 30 days
= 75 days
Daily Financing = $3,000,000 360
= $8,333
Resources needed = Daily financing x CCC
= $8,333 x 75
= $624,975
b)
OC = 55 days + 35 days
= 90 days
CCC = 90 days - 40 days
= 50 days
Resources needed
= $8,333 x 50
=$416,650
c)
Additional profit =(Daily expenditure x reduction in CCC) x financing rate
= ($8,333 x 25) x .13
= $27,082
d)
Reject the proposed techniques because costs ($35,000) exceed savings ($27,082).
