Martin and Stoneroller Preparation of Student Reports
Question Description
Martin and Stoneroller have made the following observations:
- Sales projections related to the preparation of student reports and term papers are based on the following assumptions:
- Eighty percent of the 12,000 students at the university, or 9,600 students, prepare at least two reports each 12-month period. This gives a projection of 19,200 reports (9,600 × 2 = 19,200).
- The firm will get 3 percent of the student market in the first year, which will increase to 5 percent and 7 percent in the following two years, respectively. c. Student reports will average 16 pages in length, for which the firm will receive $20 per report.
- Revenue forecasts associated with the businesses needing the firm’s services are based on the following assumptions:
- Sixty percent of the 100 local businesses will need at least 10 reports each 12-month period.
- The firm will obtain 6 percent of the business market in the first year, which will increase to 10 percent and 12 percent in the following two years, respectively.
- Business reports will average 30 pages in length, for which the firm will received $40 per report.
- On average, students will want one copy of their report in addition to the original; businesses will want five copies. The firm will charge $0.06 a page for copies.
- Practically all copies of reports will be bound, for a charge of $1 per copy.
- The effective income tax rate will be 20 percent.
- The firm will extend credit to its business customers. Accounts receivable should be about 15 percent of annual business sales, and inventories should run about 12 percent of annual total sales. However, supplies are expected to provide credit to the firm, which is estimated at 6 percent of annual sales.
- The average cost of producing each report is estimated to be $12 in labor and $0.50 in materials. Martin and Stoneroller have an option for a rent-free office in the university’s student activities building. This arrangement was negotiated based on an understanding that they will provide the university with a special pricing schedule after 12 months of operations. The initial operation will include two personal computers with word-processing, spreadsheet, and database software. One laser printer and two photocopying machines will also be needed. The total equipment’s costs will be as follows: Computers $12,000 Printers and copiers $ 5,000 Total equipment costs $17,000 The equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over a five-year life expectancy. Financing is expected to come from the following sources: · As the founders, Martin and Stoneroller will each invest $2,000 in the business. · Additional equity will be raising in the amount of $4,000 from an outside investor: $3,000 will be invested at start-up and the remaining $1,000 at the conclusion of the first year of operations. · TD Canada Trust has agreed to loan the firm $3,000 to be repaid within one year, but with the option to renew each year, provided the business is doing well. The interest rate is expected to be 9 percent. · The $17,000 in equipment will be purchased with a down payment of $7,000; the remaining balance will be paid off at $2,000 in principal per year, plus interest due on the remaining balance at an interest rate of 10 percent.
