During Year 2, Fanning Manufacturing Company incurred $147,000,000 of research and development (R&D) costs to create a long-life battery to use in computers. In accordance with FASB standards, the entire R&D cost was recognized as an expense in Year 2. Manufacturing costs (direct materials, direct labor, and overhead) are expected to be $52 per unit. Packaging, shipping, and sales commissions are expected to be $16 per unit. Fanning expects to sell 3,000,000 batteries before new research renders the battery design technologically obsolete. During Year 2, Fanning made 446,000 batteries and sold 400,000 of them. Required a. Identify the upstream and downstream costs. b. Determine the Year 2 amount of cost of goods sold and the ending inventory balance that would appear on the financial statements that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. c. Determine the sales price assuming that Fanning desires to earn a profit margin that is equal to 30 percent of the total cost of developing, making, and distributing the batteries.

The net profit, that is, profit after operating costs, is split equally (that is, 50% each) between the city and the operator of the camera system. What will be the rate of return over a 3-year period to the contractor that paid for, installed, and operates the system, if its initial cost was $10 million and the profit for each of the 3 years is the same as it was in 2016? Should the company invest in this project at MARR of 15% per year?
