Mazeppa Corporation sells relays at a selling price of $28 per unit. The company's cost per unit, based on full capacity of 160,000 units, is as follows:

Direct materials $6
Direct labor 4
Overhead (2/3 of which is variable) 9

Mazeppa has been approached by a distributor in Montana offering to buy a special order consisting of 30,000 relays. Mazeppa has the capacity to fill the order. However, it will incur an additional shipping cost of $2 for each relay it sells to the distributor.

Required:
a. Assume that Mazeppa is currently operating at a level of 100,000 units. Show the calculation for the unit price to charge the distributor which will generate an increase in operating income of $2 per unit.
b. Assume that Mazeppa is currently operating at full capacity. To fill the special order, regular customers will have to be turned away. Now what unit price should it charge the distributor if it wishes to increase total operating income by $60,000 more than it would be without accepting the special order?

Answer:

a. $20.00

b. $28,75

Explanation:

Find the total incremental costs to satisfy the special order and add $2.00 profit (because we are aiming for a profit not to just break-even).

Calculation of Total Incremental Unit Costs

Direct materials                                          $6 .00

Direct labor                                                 $4.00

Variable Overheads (2/3 × $9)                  $6.00

Shipping Cost                                             $2.00

Total Incremental Unit Cost                      $18.00

Add Profit Element                                     $2.00

Unit Selling Price for the Special Order  $20.00

In this case no changes will occur on fixed overheads, hence it is irrelevant.

Calculation of Desired Net Operating Income

Sales ($28 × 160,000 units)                                     $4,480,000

Less Product Costs :

Direct materials ($6 .00 × 160,000 units)                 ($960,000)

Direct labor ($4.00 × 160,000 units)                        ($640,000)

Variable Overheads ($6.00 × 160,000 units)          ($960,000)

Fixed Overheads ($3.00 × 160,000 units)               ($480,000)

Current Operating Income                                       $1,440,000

Add Desired Increase in Operating Income               $60,000

Desired Operating Income                                      $1,500,000

Unit Profit = $1,500,000 ÷ 160,000 units

                  = $9.375

Unit Profit = Unit Selling Price - Total Unit Costs - Unit Incremental Profit

therefore,

Unit Selling Price = Unit Profit  + Total Unit Costs + Unit Incremental Profit

                             = $9.375 + $19.00 + $0.375

                             = $28,75

Much has been written about how to identify and interpret signs that indicate that a new organizational form is needed. Grinnell and Apple have identified five signs in addition to those previously described in Section 3.625:Management is satisfied with its technical skills, but projects are not meeting time, cost, and other project requirements.There is a high commitment to getting project work done, but great fluctuation in how well performance specifications are met.Highly talented specialists involved in the project feel exploited and misused.Particular technical groups or individuals constantly blame each other for failure to meet specifications or delivery dates.Projects are on time and to specification, but groups and individuals aren’t satisfied with the achievement. Grinnell and Apple state that there is a good chance that a matrix structure will eliminate or alleviate these problems. Do you agree or disagree? Does your answer depend on the type of project? Give examples or counterexamples to defend your answers.

The value of a share of common stock depends on the cash flows it is expected to provide, and those flows consist of the dividends the investor receives each year while holding the stock and the price the investor receives when the stock is sold. The final price includes the original price paid plus an expected capital gain. The actions of the marginal investor determine the equilibrium stock price. Market equilibrium occurs when the stock's price is -Select-less thanequal togreater thanCorrect 1 of Item 1 its intrinsic value. If the stock market is reasonably efficient, differences between the stock price and intrinsic value should not be very large and they should not persist for very long. When investing in common stocks, an investor's goal is to purchase stocks that are undervalued (the price is -Select-abovebelowequivalent toCorrect 2 of Item 1 the stock's intrinsic value) and avoid stocks that are overvalued.
The value of a stock today can be calculated as the present value of -Select-a finitean infiniteCorrect 3 of Item 1 stream of dividends:
This is the generalized stock valuation model. We will now look at 3 different situations where we can adapt this generalized model to each of these situations to determine a stock's intrinsic value:
1. Constant Growth Stocks;
2. Zero Growth Stocks;
3. Nonconstant Growth Stocks.
Constant Growth Stocks:
For many companies it is reasonable to predict that dividends will grow at a constant rate, so we can rewrite the generalized model as follows:
This is known as the constant growth model or Gordon model, named after Myron J. Gordon who developed and popularized it. There are several conditions that must exist before this equation can be used. First, the required rate of return, rs, must be greater than the long-run growth rate, g. Second, the constant growth model is not appropriate unless a company's growth rate is expected to remain constant in the future. This condition almost never holds for -Select-maturestart-upCorrect 4 of Item 1 firms, but it does exist for many -Select-maturestart-upCorrect 5 of Item 1 companies.
Which of the following assumptions would cause the constant growth stock valuation model to be invalid?
The growth rate is zero.
The growth rate is negative.
The required rate of return is greater than the growth rate.
The required rate of return is more than 50%.
None of the above assumptions would invalidate the model.

Quantitative Problem 1: Hubbard Industries just paid a common dividend, D0, of $1.60. It expects to grow at a constant rate of 2% per year. If investors require a 10% return on equity, what is the current price of Hubbard's common stock? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
$ per share
Zero Growth Stocks:
The constant growth model is sufficiently general to handle the case of a zero growth stock, where the dividend is expected to remain constant over time. In this situation, the equation is:
Note that this is the same equation developed in Chapter 5 to value a perpetuity, and it is the same equation used to value a perpetual preferred stock that entitles its owners to regular, fixed dividend payments in perpetuity. The valuation equation is simply the current dividend divided by the required rate of return.
Quantitative Problem 2: Carlysle Corporation has perpetual preferred stock outstanding that pays a constant annual dividend of $2.00 at the end of each year. If investors require an 10% return on the preferred stock, what is the price of the firm's perpetual preferred stock? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
$ per share
Nonconstant Growth Stocks:
For many companies, it is not appropriate to assume that dividends will grow at a constant rate. Most firms go through life cycles where they experience different growth rates during different parts of the cycle. For valuing these firms, the generalized valuation and the constant growth equations are combined to arrive at the nonconstant growth valuation equation:
Basically, this equation calculates the present value of dividends received during the nonconstant growth period and the present value of the stock's horizon value, which is the value at the horizon date of all dividends expected thereafter.
Quantitative Problem 3: Assume today is December 31, 2013. Imagine Works Inc. just paid a dividend of $1.15 per share at the end of 2013. The dividend is expected to grow at 15% per year for 3 years, after which time it is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% annually. The company's cost of equity (rs) is 9.5%. Using the dividend growth model (allowing for nonconstant growth), what should be the price of the company's stock today (December 31, 2013)? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
