Five years ago, when the relevant cost index was 120, a nuclear centrifuge cost $40,000. The centrifuge had a capacity of separating 1500 gallons of ionized solution per hour. Today, it is desired to build a new centrifuge with capacity of 4500 gallons per hour, but the cost index now is 300. Assuming a power sizing exponent to reflect economies of scale, x, of 0.75, use the power sizing model to determine the approximate cost (expressed in today's dollars) of the new reactor.

20. WACC and NPV [LO3, 5] Sommer, Inc., is considering a project that will result
in initial aftertax cash savings of $2.3 million at the end of the first year, and these
savings will grow at a rate of 2 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target
4.6 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the
firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +3 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. Under what

Petro Motors Inc. (PMI) produces small gasoline-powered motors for use in lawn mowers. The company has been growing steadily over the past five years and is operating at full capacity. PMI recently completed the addition of new plant and equipment at a cost of $7.800.000, thereby increasing its manufacturing capacity to 100.000 motors annually. The addition to plant and equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years. Sales of motors were 60.000 units prior to the completion of the additional capacity. Cost records indicated that manufacturing costs had totaled $60 per motor, of which $48 per motor was considered to be variable manufacturing costs. PMI has used the volume of activity at full capacity as the basis for applying fixed manufacturing overhead. The normal selling price is $80 per motor, and PMI pays a 5% commission on the sale of its motors. LawnPro.com offered to purchase 35,000 motors at a price of $60 per unit to test the viability of distributing lawn mower replacement motors through its website. PMI would be expected to produce the motors, store them in its warehouse, and ship individual motors to LawnPro.com customers. As orders are placed directly through the LawnPro.com website, they would be forwarded instantly to PMI. No commissions will be paid on this special sales order, and freight charges will be paid by the customer purchasing a motor.

Required:
a. Calculate the cost per motor, for cost accounting purposes, after completion of the additional plant capacity.
b. Identify all the relevant costs that PMI should consider in evaluating the special sales order from LawnPro.

Denison Specialty Hospital is planning its master budget for the coming year. The budget wil include operating, capital, cash and flexible budgets. The hospital is noted for its three fine programs: oncology (cancer), cardiac (heart), and rhinoplasty (nose jobs).
Section A
The managers at Denison have been busy working. They have reviewed past records and considered changes in competition, the general economy, and overall medical trends. Using past charges and anticipated rates of medical inflation, they have also made a first attempt at setting thier prices.
Based on a thorough review and discussion of these data, they have projected that next year they will have 240 patients. They expect 120 oncology patients, 80 caridace patients, and 40 rhinoplasty patients.
The charge, of list price, for oncology patient will average $50,000. Cardiac patients will be charged on average of $40,000, and rhinoplasty, $25,000 per patient. However, those charges are not the actual amounts ultimately received.
The amount the hospital receives depends on whether patients pay their own hospital bills or have healthcare insurance. Assume that private insurance companies pay the full charge or list price. However, Medicare and Medicaid have announced rates they will pay for the coming year as follow: oncology patients $40,000, cardiac patients $30,000, and rhinoplasty patients $10,000. Self-pay patients are supposed to pay the full charge, but generally 25 percent of self-pay charges become a bad credit. Note that bad credit are treated as an expense in healthcare. They may not be shown as a reduction lowering revenues. The full charge for self-pay patients is shown as revenues, and then the uncollectible amount is shown as an expense. No payment for charity care is ever recieved, and charity care is not shown s a revenue or expense.
The payer mix is as follows:
Private insurance Medicare/Medicaid Self-Pay Charity
Oncology 30% 50% 10% 10%
Cardiac 20% 60% 10% 10%
Rhinoplasty 10% 20% 60% 10%
Gift shop revenue is projected to be $120,000 for the current year and is expected to remain the same. However, this revenue will increase or decline in proportion to charges in patient volume.
Denison Hospital has an endowment of $1,000,000. It is invested as follows:
a-$500,000 in 6 percent U.S. Governement Bonds that pay interest annually
b-$250,000 in AT&T stock, which pays a dividend of 8 percent annually
c-$250,000 in growth stocks that pay no dividend
Section A requirements:
1. Calculate patient revenue on an accural basis for the coming year. Subdivide revenue by program, and with each program subdivide it by type of payer.
2. Calculate endowment revenue on an accural basis for the coming year.
3. Prepare a revenue budget on an accural basis, including all sources of revenue discussed previously. The revenue budget does not have to show all of the detail from requirements 1 and 2, but should show each major source of revenue, such as patient services and endowment.
Section B
The hospital expects to employ worker in the following departments
Radiology Nursing Administration Total
Managers 100,000 200,000 200,000 500,000
Staff 1,900,000 4,200,000 300,000 6,400,000
Total 2,000,000 4,400,000 500,000 6,900,000
Supplies are expected to be purchased throughout the year for the departments, as follows:
Total
Radiology 360,000
Nursing 160,000
Administration 20,000
Total 540,000
Assume that all supply use varies with the number of patients.
Denison Hospital currently pays rent on its building and equipment for $300,000 per year. Rent is expected to be unchanged next year. The rent is paid $75,000 each quarter.
To better serve its patients, Denison would like to buy $500,000 of new oncology equipment at the start of the year. It would be paid for immediately upon purchase. The equipment has a 5-year life and would be expected to be used up evenly over that lifetime. Although the capital budget would normally include justification for why the equipment is needed, it is sufficient for our purpose to know that the capital budget for Denison is $500,000 and the equipment to be purchased has 5-year useful life. It will have no value left at the end of the 5 years. Denison charges the cost of its capital acquisitions on a straight-line depreciation basis. The means that the cost is spread out over the useful life, with an equal being charged as an expense, called depreciation expense, each year.
Section B Requirements:
1. Calculate expected bad debt expenses on an accural basis for the coming year
2. Calculate an expense budget on a accural basis for the coming year. The expense budget does not require detailed information by program or department, but should show each type of expense as salaries and supplies. Be sure to consider the impact of capital acquisitions on the expense budget.
3. Combine the revenue (section A) and expense budget to present an operating budget for the coming year.
