5. (TCO 11) Regal Products has a budget of $900,000 in 20X6 for prevention costs. If it decides to automate a portion of its prevention activities, it will save $60,000 in variable costs. The new method will require $18,000 in training costs and $120,000 in annual equipment costs. Management is willing to adjust the budget for an amount up to the cost of the new equipment. The budgeted production level is 150,000 units. Appraisal costs for the year are budgeted at $600,000. The new prevention procedures will save appraisal costs of $30,000. Internal failure costs average $15 per failed unit of finished goods. The internal failure rate is expected to be 3% of all completed items. The proposed changes will cut the internal failure rate by one-third. Internal failure units are destroyed. External failure costs average $54 per failed unit. The company's average external failures average 3% of units sold. The new proposal will reduce this rate by 50%. Assume all units produced are sold and there are no ending inventories. How much will internal failure costs change if the internal product failures are reduced by 50% with the new procedures? (Points: 3)

There are no flag displays on hand but Liberty had scheduled 60 equal production runs of the display sets for the coming year, the first of which is to be run immediately. Liberty Celebrations has 250 business days per year. Assume that sales occur uniformly throughout the year and that production is instantaneous. If Liberty Celebrations does not maintain a safety stock, the estimated total carrying cost for the flag displays for the coming year is the estimated total setup cost for the flag displays for the coming year is (Points: 3)

Sepracor, Inc., a U.S. drug company, reported the following information
International Reporting Case
Sepracor, Inc., a U.S. drug company, reported the following information. The company prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
2007 (,000)
Current Liabilities $ 554,114
Convertible Subordinated Debt 648,020
Total Liabilities 1,228,313
Stockholders’ Equity 176,413
Net Income 58,333
Analysts attempting to compare Sepracor to international drug companies may face a challenge due to differences in accounting for convertible debt under iGAAP. Under IAS 32, Financial Instruments, convertible bonds, at issuance, must be classified separately into their debt and equity components based on estimated fair value.
INSTRUCTIONS:
(a) Compute the following rations for Sepracor, Inc. (assume that year-end balances approximate annual averages.)
(1) Return on assets.
(2) Return on stockholders’ equity
(3) Debt to asset ratio
(b) Briefly discuss the operating performance and financial position of Sepracor. Industry averages for these ratios in 2007were: ROA 3.5%; return on equity 16%; and debt to assets 75%. Based on this analysis would you make an investment in the company's 5% convertible bonds? Explain.
(c) Assume you want to compare Sepracor to an international company, like Bayer (which prepares its financial statements in accordance with iGAAP). Assuming that the fair value of the equity components of Sepracor's convertible bonds is $150,000, how would you adjust the analysis above to make valid comparisons between Sepracor and Bayer.
