David is trying to decide if it makes sense to outsource the purchasing function. He has a chain of 12 restaurants and employs two buyers at an annual fixed cost of $85,000. David estimates that the variable cost of each purchase order placed is $15. An outsourced company will perform the purchasing function for a fixed annual fee of $100,000 plus $5 for each purchase order placed. Last year, David placed 1400 purchase orders.

Required:
a. What was the in-house purchasing cost last year?
b. What would the cost be if outsourced?
c. If David estimates it will place 1600 purchase orders next year, should he outsourced?

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

a) The In-house purchasing cost last year is

= Fixed costs + Variable costs

 =$85,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order

 = $85,000 + 1400 × 15

= $106,000

b)

The outsourcing cost is

Outsourcing cost = Fixed costs +Variable costs

 = $100,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order

= $100,000 + 1400 × 5

 = $107,000

c) Total number of purchase orders = 1600

In-house purchasing cost = 85,000 + 1600 × $15 = $109000

Outsourcing cost = $100,000 + 1600 × $5 = $108000

Yes, David should outsource as the outsourcing cost is less than the in-house purchasing cost.

The George Company has a policy of maintaining an end-of-month cash balance of at least $37,000. In months where a shortfall is expected, the company can draw in $1,000 increments on a line of credit it has with a local bank, at an interest rate of 12% per annum. All borrowings are assumed for budgeting purposes to occur at the beginning of the month, while all loan repayments (in $1,000 increments of principal) are assumed to occur at the end of the month. Interest is paid at the end of each month. For April, an end-of-month cash balance (prior to any financing and interest expense) of $24,000 is budgeted; for May, an excess of cash collected over cash payments (prior to any interest payments and loan repayments) of $28,000 is anticipated.
1.What is the interest payment estimated for April (there is no bank loan outstanding at the end of March)? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
2.What is the total financing effect (cash interest plus loan transaction) for May? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
