Northrop Grumman manage and assess our business based on their performance under contracts and programs (typically two or more closely-related contracts). Sales from their portfolio of long-term contracts are primarily recognized using the cost-to-cost method of percentage of completion accounting, but in some cases the units-of-delivery method of percentage of completion accounting is utilized. As a result, sales tend to fluctuate in concert with costs incurred across our large portfolio of contracts. Due to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) rules that govern our U.S Government business and related Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), most types of costs are allocable to U.S. Government contracts, and we do not focus on individual cost groupings (such as manufacturing, engineering and design labor costs, subcontractor costs, material costs, overhead costs and general and administrative costs), as much as we do on total contract cost, which is the key driver of our sales and operating income.

A down payment of $70,000 would be required, and a first year interest payment of $45,370 (Exhibit 9). It is expected that the two machines would run at 40% capacity bringing in incremental revenue of $613,225, and incremental operating income of $234,855. The cost breakdown structure and the incremental gains for the laser cutter and water cutter can be seen in Exhibit 10. The ROI at 40% capacity is 33.80% (Exhibit 5), which is well above the banks lending rate. The payback period at 40% capacity is the lowest of all options at 3 years (Exhibit 6). With a score of 30, this option scored the highest against the decision criteria (Exhibit 7). This is largely due strongest cash flow, highest ROI, and emphasis on maintaining a high quality product and excellent costumer service.
