Ohio Limestone plans to market its product in a new territory. Management estimates that an advertising and promotion program costing $61,500 annually would be needed for the next two or three years. In addition, a $25 per ton sales commission to the sales force in the new territory, over and above the current commission, would be required. How many tons would have to be sold in the new territory to maintain the firm’s current net income? Assume that sales and costs will continue as in 20x1 in the firm’s established territories.

Answer: 307.5 tons

Explanation:

To maintain the current Net Income, the company would have to be making a zero profit (breakeven) in the new territory.

Breakeven = Fixed Cost/ Contribution margin

Fixed cost for the new territory = $61,500

Contribution Margin = Sales - Variable cost

Assuming that sales and costs will continue as in 20x1 in the firm’s established territories.

Sales price per unit = 900,000/1,800 tons

= $500 per unit

Variable Cost = 495,000/1,800 tons

= $275 per unit

Variable cost will increase due to sales commission in new territory.

= 275 + 25

= $300 per unit

Contribution Margin for new territory = 500 - 300 = $200

Breakeven point = 61,500/200

= 307.5 tons will need to be sold to maintain net income

Bruce Church, Inc. is a company engaged in extensive commercial farming in Arizona and California. A provision of the Arizona Fruit and Vegetable Standardization Act requires that all cantaloupes grown in Arizona "be packed in regular compact arrangement in closed standard containers approved by the supervisor." Arizona, through its agent Pike, issued an order prohibiting Bruce Church from transporting uncrated cantaloupes from its range in Parker, Arizona, to nearby Blythe, California, for packing and processing. It would take many months and $200,000 for Bruce Church to construct a processing plan int Parker. Further, Bruce Church had $700,000 worth of cantaloupes ready for transportation. Bruce Church filed suit in federal district court challenging the constitutionality of the Arizona statutory provision on shipping cantaloupes. The court issued an injunction (essentially saying the statute was not constitutional) against the enforcement of the act on the grounds that it was an undue hardship on interstate commerce. Answer the following questions: 1. What is the Commerce Clause? 2. Will the Arizona regulation withstand Commerce Clause scrutiny? Why or why not?

Asset management ratios are important - firms need to manage assets efficiently because capital obtained to acquire those assets is expensive. These ratios include the: (1) Inventory turnover ratio, (2) Days sales outstanding, (3) Fixed assets turnover, and (4) Total assets turnover. The inventory turnover ratio indicates how many times during the year inventory is -Select- and restocked. Its equation is: Excess inventory is unproductive and represents an investment with a -Select- rate of return. An alternative definition of the inventory turnover ratio replaces sales in the numerator with -Select- . The rationale for this measurement is that inventory is carried at cost, so sales in the numerator overstates the true inventory turnover ratio. The days sales outstanding (DSO) ratio is also called the average collection period (ACP). Its equation is:
