Case 7Make or Buy Analysis Dixie Holdings • Introduction • Assumptions • Analysis • Conclusions • Recommendations
I. Introduction • Company Overview • Current Situation • Analysis’ Objectives • Financial theory applied in case
Company Overview • Dixie Holding • Dixie Air • Dixie Properties • Dixie Support • Dixie Support provides support services to Holding, including print services
Current Situation • Dixie Support not capable of accommodating printing needs of Holding • $830,000 in 2003 for commercial print services • $293,000 can be brought in-house • EBIT of $50,000 in 2004 and EBIT of $75,000 in 2005 in local commercial printing (external business)
Analysis’ Objectives • Should Dixie Support outsource or expand print shop? • 3 Alternatives for Dixie Support • Close print shop completely and use outside vendors for all printing. • Expand print shop and perform all feasible printing in-house. • Expand print shop as above and enter commercial printing business.
Financial Theory • Make vs. Buy Analysis • Purpose • Choosing a discount rate (riskiness) or cost of capital (CC) • Project financial indicators • NPV (dollar contribution of project) • IRR (expected rate of return) • MIRR (forces reinvestment at cost of capital)
Financial Theory • Risk Assessment • Sensitivity Analysis (used in this case) • Scenario Analysis • Monte Carlo Simulation • Cash Flows • Estimating • Discounting • Investment project vs. Borrowing project • Differences
II. Assumptions • 3% annual inflation rate for vendor pricing • 2% annual volume increase in printing needs • Supplies as % of billing (30%) • No additional maintenance costs for alternative 2 and 3 • Marketing/Sales expenses for alternative 3 are included in EBIT • Five year analysis assumes no additional external factors other than specified
III. Analysis • Overview • Summary of case information • Alternatives’ analysis
Alternatives Overview • Alternative 1. Close the print shop completely and use outside vendors for all printing. • Alternative 2. Expand the print shop as envisioned to perform all feasible work in-house. • Alternative 3. Expand the print shop as in Alternative 2 to perform all feasible work in-house. In addition, the print shop will enter the commercial printing business.
Case Information • General • Cost of Capital • Assumptions • Current costs and values for alternatives 1, 2 and 3 • New costs for alternatives 2 and 3 • Incremental savings for alternatives 2 and 3 • External Revenues for alternative 3
Current costs and values for alternatives 1, 2 and 3 – Yr (2003)
Incremental savings for alternatives 2 and 3 – Yr 2003
Alternative 2 • Risk Analysis • Most conservative alternative • Extension of work performed by the Dixie Support subsidiary • Control in house • Cost of Capital • Use Dixie Support CC (8%)
Net cash flows (000s) 4 5 2 3 0 1 8% $92 $101 ($266) $77 $82 $87 NPV = $80. IRR = 18.3%. MIRR = 13.8%.
Alternative 1 • Risk Analysis • Second most conservative alternative. Higher risk than alternative 1 • All work performed by vendors • No control in house • Cost of Capital • Penalize the Dixie Support CC (8%) by 2% to incorporate higher risk • It is a borrowing project. CC = 8% – 2% = 6%
Net cash flows (000s) 4 5 2 3 0 1 6% ($45) ($52) $234 ($38) ($41) ($43) NPV = $51. IRR = -2.3%. MIRR = 11.3%.
Alternative 3 • Risk Analysis • Least conservative alternative. Higher risk than alternatives 1 and 2 due to external cash flows • Extension of work performed by the Dixie Support subsidiary + commercial printing business • Some control in house
Alternative 3 • Cost of Capital • Lower EBIT and ROA in Louisiana • Penalize the Dixie Support CC (8%) by 3% to incorporate higher risk for external cash flows • It is an investment project. CC = 8% + 3% = 11% • Use Dixie Support CC (8%) for internal cash flows
Net cash flows (000s) 4 5 2 3 0 1 8% Internal $92 $101 ($266) $77 $82 $87 4 5 2 3 0 1 11% External $50 $53 $30 $45 $47 4 5 2 3 0 1 Net $142 $153 ($266) $107 $127 $134 NPV = $242. IRR = 37.6%. MIRR = 23.6%.
Sensitivity Analysis - Overview • Most likely case • NPV and MIRR vs internal cost of capital • External CC = Internal CC + 3% • Worst case • NPV and MIRR vs internal cost of capital • External CC = Internal CC * 2
IV. Conclusions • Summary • Alternative 3 • Higher NPV and MIRR under assumed conditions. • Best alternative in sensitivity analysis. It has the higher NPV and MIRR under different scenarios.
Alternative 3 Expand the print shop as envisioned to perform all feasible work in-house. In addition, the print shop will enter the commercial printing business. NPV($241,530) and MIRR(23.6%) V. Recommendations
Centrally control printing contracts Reduce the list of printing vendors from 9 to 2 Get better prices and payment conditions
Improve assumptions by using industry or historic data Expand cash flow analysis to more than 5 years Pro: higher precision in our results if future flows are know, otherwise it will increase uncertainty. Con: more difficult to calculate results. Unlikely to change recommendation.
Perform lease vs. buy analysis for building for equipment Buy additional equipment to perform 100% of work in-house instead of 90% of graphics printing 25% of forms printing Explore ways to reduce cost and improve productivity Recycling cartridges and paper Print same colors in batch to reduce rollers’ wash-up charges
Perform additional analysis as part of business plan for alternative 3 Window of opportunity Market environment (demand and supply) Competitor analysis Market positioning Risk recognition Risk reduction strategies Financial Plan
