1. Estimated costs of producing the average Supremo bike (avg. unit costs, assuming a constant mix of models):
		Direct Materials	12	Euros more than the average Bissan bike
		Direct Labour	20%	higher than the average Bissan bike
		Variable Overhead	50%	of Direct Labour
		Total Fixed Overhead	7.087.500	(the "per bike" amount depends on production levels)
2. Unit price and annual volume:
MikRos has guaranteed an order of 24,000 mountain bikes and will pay an average price of EUR325.
3. Asset-related costs include:
Pretax cost of funds (interest to finance receivables or inventories)						18,0%
Effective tax rate						46,5%
4. Assumptions for Supremo related added inventories (average over the year) and cash:
Required Materials: 2 months' supply
Work in Process: 1,000 bikes, half completed for all cost categories
Finished Goods: 500 bikes awaiting next truckload shipment to MikRos warehouse
Goods in MikRos regional warehouse: Two months (on average) production
Accounts Receivable: Cash tied up due to the "net 30 days" policy
5. Cetin Ceviz's opinion on the effect on Bissan sales if proposal is accepted:
Some customers comparison shop for bikes, and some may purchase a challenger bike as a good value purchase.
My best guess is that our sales over the next year will be about 150,000 bikes a year if we forego the MikRos deal.
If we accept it, I think we we'll lose about 3,000 units of our regular sales over the year. These estimates do not include
the possibility that a few of our current dealers might drop our line if they find out we're making bikes for MikRos.

1	If Bissan accepts the deal, how many Supremo bikes will be produced each month?
2	In order to increase production to satisfy the MikRos demand, Bissan needs to spend more money on things like raw materials and direct labour. At any given time, a certain amount of cash will be tied up in production. Determine how much extra cash will be needed for this project by breaking the costs down into stages of production as follows (refer to Exhibit B). Assume that 2,000 Supremo bikes are produced every month.
a)	The cost of raw material for two months:
b)	The cost of 1,000 bikes in work-in-progress inventory (half of all variable costs):
c)	The cost of 500 finished bikes awaiting shipment to a warehouse:
d)	The cost of two months stock of finished bikes in a regional warehouse:
e)	The total cash tied up in accounts receivable if MikRos's policy is net 30 days:
f)	What is the net additional investment required to produce the bikes? (i.e. the sum of the five parts from above)
3 a)	Look at Bissan's Balance Sheet. How much cash is currently available to produce the bikes?
b)	Because Bissan does not have enough money to produce the additional bikes, the company will need to borrow money. Suppose Bissan borrows 2,200,000 and assume an annual interest rate of 7%. How much interest will Bissan need to pay in total next year if the project goes ahead?
c)	Since Bissan will only need to pay this interest amount if they produce the bikes, we can consider it to be another variable cost of production. What is the interest amount that would be spent per bike produced?
d)	Assume that the contribution margin for the Supremo is 70.00 without considering this per bike cost of funds. Take into account this borrowing expense and report the new contribution margin.
