Question: RenK 2 is currently evaluating a plan to introduce the action figure San Lolo. RenK 2 plans to sell the action figure for two years
RenK is currently evaluating a plan to introduce the action figure San Lolo. RenK plans to sell
the action figure for two years as the character's timeline in a popular movie franchise seems to
be ending. Below is some data for the current plan.
RenK has to purchase a machine for $ that can only be used for San Lolo. Its
useful life is years and will be depreciated over the useful life to zero using straightline
depreciation. This machine has to be paid in full at the beginning of year
There are additional fixed manufacturing costs of $ per year salaries of
employees that need to be hired for the manufacturing of the figures
RenK will not have to supply any working capital.
Per unit, RenK charges $ and incurs $ in variable manufacturing costs.
Assume that all cash flows other than the initial purchase of the machine occur at year
end.
RenK has a cost of capital of yes it is this simplifies the calculations!
c The CFO of RenK realized that the company can produce and sell the units
for year and then switch to a different character, Daisy Rey.
a RenK expects to be able to sell Rey figures year and another
Rey figures in year
b Each Rey figure will be sold at $ and has $ variable manufacturing costs.
c No additional investment will be necessary.
d Because the machine for production will not be useable in year RenK plans to
produce San Lolo and Rey figures in year and produce
Rey figures in year
e As a result, instead of $ in years and RenK will face fixed
manufacturing costs of $ in year and just $ in year
f RenK will face no fixed manufacturing costs in year
In Year RenK will first sell the units produced in year
RenK will allocate all manufacturing overhead costs to products based on variable
manufacturing costs.

plan is implemented?
