Problem 7-23 (Algo) Comprehensive Problem [LO7-1, LO7-2, LO7-3, L07-5, LO7-6] Lou Barlow, a divisional manager for Sage Company, has an opportunity to manufacture and sell one of two new products for a five- year period. His annual pay raises are determined by his division's return on investment (ROI), which has exceeded 22% each of the last three years. He has computed the cost and revenue estimates for each product as follows: Initial investment: Cost of equipment (zero salvage value) Annual revenues and costs: Sales revenues Variable expenses Depreciation expense Fixed out-of-pocket operating costs The company's discount rate is 20%. Click here to view Exhibit 7B-1 and Exhibit 7B 2, to determine the appropriate discount factor using tables. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for each product. 2. Calculate the net present value for each product. 3. Calculate the internal rate of return for each product. 4. Calculate the project profitability index for each product. 5.…

Tom uses his computer to calculate the following regression formula:Weekly total costs = $18,791 + ($19.97 * Number of orders per week) Draw the regression line on your graph. Use your graph to evaluate the regression line using the criteria of economic plausibility, goodness of fit, and significance of the independent variable. Is the cost function estimated using the high-low method a close approximation of the cost function estimated using the regression method? Explain briefly.

Maximus Steel plans to introduce one of three new products code-named: Wren, Hawk, and Nightingale. The marketing department indicated that the success of any product depends on the market conditions (Favorable, Neutral, or Unfavorable). The profit the company will earn also depends on the market conditions.  The table below shows the probability estimated for each market condition and the profits Maximus Steel will realize within those conditions: Product Code Market Conditions Favorable P = 0.2 Neutral P = 0.7 Unfavorable P = 0.1 Wren $120,000 $70,000 ($30,000) Hawk $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 Nightingale $35,000 $30,000 $30,000 Part 1 Instructions: Compute the expected value for each alternative.

Please find the Asset Beta (IndustryBeta) based on the following information below: Currently, Ljutic A/I Inc. has hired a consulting firm (Oakland Association-OA) to estimate the size of the market and hence expected unit sales for its main product (E-toral application sensor). OA’s work resulted in unit sales estimates of 318,331, 341,342, 368,769, 383,432, and 376,532 units respectively for the next five years conditioned on Ljutic adhering to an average sales price of $568 per unit for the first two years and $387 in years three, four, and five.  From that point going forward, growth in unit sales is predicted to be 2.72% indefinitely. The results of an independent outside analysis by a leading market research firm has determined that the company can manufacture its product line at a variable cost per unit expected to be $63.47 growing at 2.23% per year for the first 5 years and 3.17% per year indefinitely thereafter while overall fixed costs are estimated to be $10,482,000…
