Your firm needs to purchase 1,200 traffic cones from a supplier. One supplier demands apayment of $1,000.00 today plus $10.59 per cone payable in one year.

Davao has a potential foreign customer that has offered to buy 1,500 tons at P450 per ton. Assume that all of Davao’s costs would be at the same levels and rates as last year. What net income after taxes would Davao make if it took this order and rejected some business from regular customers so as not to exceed capacity? If the sales volume is estimated to be 2,100 tons in the next year, and if the prices and costs stay at the same levels and amounts next year, the after-tax income that Davao can expect for next year is? Assume that Davao plans to market its product in a new territory. Davao estimates that an advertising and promotion program costing P61,500 annually would need to be undertaken for the next two or three years. In addition, a P25 per ton sales commission over and above the current commission to the sales force in the new territory would be required. How many tons would have to be sold in the new territory to maintain Davao’s current after-tax income of P94,500?
1. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 25,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 5,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.80 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the tmits. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. If Polaski Comprany accepts the order, by how much will profits increase or decrease for the year? 2. Assume the srune situation as that described in requirement 2, except that the company expects to sell 30,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army's order would require giving up regular sales of 5,000 Rets. If the Army's order is accepted, by how much will profits increase or decrease from what they would be if the 5,000 Rets were sold through regular…
EFU Group is considering changing its credit period from “net 45" (which has resulted in 8 A/R "Turns" per year) to "net 60" (which is expected to result in 6 A/R “Turns" per year). EFU Group is currently producing a single product with variable costs of $150 and a selling price of $180. Additional annual credit sales of $180,000 from new customers are forecasted, in addition to the current $1.5 million in annual credit sales. The before-tax opportunity cost for each dollar of funds "tied-up" in additional receivables is 30%. Ignoring any additional bad-debt losses that may arise, should EFU Group relax their credit period?
