Question:
Mayne Manufacturing Company has incurred substantial losses for several years and has become insolvent. On March 31, 20X4, Mayne petitioned the court for protection from creditors and submitted the following statement of financial position:
Mayne's management informed the court that the company has developed a new product and that a prospective customer is willing to sign a contract for the purchase of 10,000 units of this product during the year ending March \(31,20 \mathrm{X} 5 ; 12,000\) units of this product during the year ending March 31, 20X6; and 15,000 units of this product during the year ending March 31, 20X7, at a price of \(\$ 90\) per unit. This product can be manufactured using Mayne's present facilities. Monthly production with immediate delivery is expected to be uniform within each year. Receivables are expected to be collected during the calendar month following sales.
Unit production costs of the new product are expected to be as follows:.
Purchases of direct materials will be paid during the calendar month following purchase. Fixed costs, direct manufacturing labor, and variable overhead will be paid as incurred. Inventory of direct materials will be equal to 60 days' usage. After the first month of operations, 30 days' usage of materials will be ordered each month.
The general creditors have agreed to reduce their total claims to 60 percent of their March 31 , 20X4, balances, under the following conditions:
a. Existing accounts receivable and inventories are to be liquidated immediately, with the proceeds turned over to the general creditors.
\(b\). The balance of reduced accounts payable is to be paid as cash is generated from future operations, but in no event later than March 31, 20X6. No interest will be paid on these obligations.
Under this proposed plan, the general creditors would receive \(\$ 110,000\) more than the current liquidation value of Mayne's assets. The court has engaged you to determine the feasibility of the plan.
