Question
2.Wilson Co. is a highly successful supplier of leather to manufacturers of leather goods. Wilson is considering expanding into the U.S. luxury auto seat market. It is estimated that although selling leather to U.S. auto manufacturers will bring additional annual sales of $1,000,000, a high 10% of those accounts will be uncollectible. The cost of conditioning and selling the leather is 60% of sales.Wilson's tax rate is 30%.
a). Calculate Tanner's incremental net income on the new sales.
b). Assume Wilson has a receivables turnover of 4. Calculate Wilson's incremental accounts receivable investment and after-tax return on that investment.
c). Wilson's minimum required ROI is 15%. Should Wilson expand into the auto market? Why or why not?
Explanation / Answer
Answer to Part a)
Incremental Net Income = Income before Taxes – Taxes
Expenses = Bad Debt Expense + Conditioning and Selling Expense
Bad Debt Expense = $1,000,000 * 10% = $100,000
Conditioning and Selling Expense = $1,000,000 * 60% = $600,000
Expense = $100,000 + $600,000 = $700,000
Income before Taxes = $1,000,000 - $700,000 = $300,000
Taxes = 30% of $300,000 = $90,000
Incremental Net Income = $300,000 - $90,000
Incremental Net Income = $210,000
Answer to Part b)
Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales / Accounts Receivable
4 = 1,000,000 / Incremental Accounts Receivable
Incremental Accounts Receivable = $250,000
Return on Investment = Net Income / Accounts Receivable
Return on Investment = 210,000 / 250,000
Return on Investment = 84%
Answer to Part c)
Wilson should expand into Auto Market, as the Return on Investment is more than the minimum required ROI of 15%.
