d. Recalculate part (a) using a time horizon of 14 years at an annual interest rate of6 percent.

Question-4
(Related to checkpoint 13.4) (Break-even Analysis) The Marvel Mfg company is considering whether or not to construct a new robotic production facility. The cost of this new facility is $600,000 and it is expected to have a six-year life with annual depreciation expense of $100,000 and no salvage value. Annual sales from the new facility are expected to be 2,050 units with a price of $950 per unit. Variable production costs are $620 per unit, while fixed cash expenses are $85,000 per year.
A. Find the accounting and the cash break-even units of production
B. Will the plane make a profit based on its current expected level of operations?
C. Will the plant contribute cash flow to the firm at the expected level of operations?
Question-5
(Break-even analysis) Given the following information:
Project Acct BEP (in units) Price per unit Variable cost FC Depreciation
A 6,270 ? $54 $98,000 $27,000
B 750 $950 ? $500,000 $103,000
C 1,970 $ 22 $15 $4,800 ?
D 1,970 $ 22 $7 ? $13,000
a. Calculate the missing information for each of the above projects.
b. Note that Projects C and D share the same accounting break-even. If sales are above the break-even point, which project would you prefer? Explain why.
c. Calculate the cash break-even for each of the above projects. What do the differences in accounting and cash break-even tell you about the four projects?
Question-6
(Preparation of a Cash budget) The Sharpe Corporation’s projected sales for the first eight months of 2014 are as follows:
January $ 90,800 May $299,800
February 120,800 June 270,300
March 134,900 July 224,200
April 240,800 August 149,700
Of Sharpe’s sales, 10 percent is for cash, another 60 percent is collected in the month following sale, and 30 percent is collected in the second month following sale. November and December sales for 2013 were $220,300 and $174,600, respectively.
Sharpe purchases its raw materials two months in advance of its sales equal to 60 percent of their final sales price. The supplier is paid one month after it makes delivery. For example, purchases for April sales are made in February and payment is made in March.
In addition, Sharpe pays $9,500 per month for rent and $20,000 each month for other expenditures.
Tax prepayments of $23,500 are made each quarter, beginning in March.
The company’s cash balance at December 31, 2013, was $21,100; a minimum balance of $15,000 must be maintained at all times. Assume that any short-term financing needed to maintain the cash balance is paid off in the month following the month of financing if sufficient funds are available.
Interest on short-term loans (10 percent) is paid monthly. Borrowing to meet estimated monthly cash needs takes place at the beginning of the month. Thus, if in the month of April the firm expects to have a need for an additional $65,340, these funds would be borrowed at the beginning of April
with interest of $653 (i.e., 0.12x1/12x65,340) owed for April and paid at the beginning of May.
a. Prepare a cash budget for Sharpe covering the first seven months of 2014
b. Sharpe has $199,200 in notes payable due in July that must be repaid or renegotiated for an extension. Will the firm have sufficient cash to repay the notes?
