Andy Mendoza makes handcrafted dolls, which he sells at craft fairs. He is considering mass-producing the dolls to sell in stores. He estimates that the initial investment for plant and equipment will be $15,000, while labor, materials, packaging, and shipping will be about $4 per doll. He has determined that monthly sales volume is related to price, according to the following equation: v = 1000 - 20p + (1000/p) Find the optimal price, the optimal volume, and the maximal profit per month with a relationship between volume and price.
An oil and gas exploration firm invested $2,400,000 in drilling for natural gas in a new gas field. The firm's geologist believes the field has the potential to produce gas for 25 years. The revenue resulting from the gas well the first year after drilling is $740,000; based on previous experiences with similar types of wells, it is expected the annual revenue will decrease at an annual rate of 1%. Likewise, the costs of operating the well the first year totals $160,000; costs are expected to increase at an annual rate of 3%. Based on a 25-year planning horizon and a MARR of 20%, what is the firm's external rate of return for the investment? Click here to access the TVM Factor Table calculator. %
A typical tube-style incandescent light bulb lasts for 1,000 hours and is available to consumers for $3.30 per bulb. A manufacturer has produced a tube-style halogen light bulb that gives the same amount of light as the incandescent bulb but lasts for 1,400 hours. The halogen bulb also uses less energy than the incandescent bulb, saving the consumer $0.50 in electricity costs for every 1,000 hours of light-bulb use. (a) What is the value to the customer of the manufacturer’s tube-style halogen light bulb to consumers who are currently buying tube-style incandescent light bulbs? Show your work. (b) If the manufacturer’s variable costs for producing these halogen light bulbs are $2.25 per bulb, specify the price ceiling and the price floor for these halogen bulbs. Explain your reasoning. (c) According to the course material, what is meant by the strategic prominence of price? If the halogen light bulb manufacturer wants to make price the lead activity in the marketing mix,…
Your boss has asked you to evaluate the economics of replacing 1,000 60-Watt incandescent light bulbs (ILBs) with 1,000 compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) for a particular lighting application. During your investigation you discover that 13-Watt CFLs costing $2.00 each will provide the same illumination as standard 60-Watt ILBs costing $0.50 each. Interestingly, CFLs last, on average, eight times as long as incandescent bulbs. The average life of an ILB is one year over the anticipated usage of 1,000 hours each year. Each incandescent bulb costs $2.00 to install/replace. Installation of a single CFL costs $3.00, and it will also be used 1,000 hours per year. Electricity costs $0.12 per kiloWatt hour (kWh), and you decide to compare the two lighting options over an 8-year study period. If the MARR is 12% per year, compare the economics of the two alternatives and write a brief report of your findings for the boss.
You and one of your classmates are considering setting up a prescription delivery service for local residents in Mount Pearl. In order to start the business you will need to purchase a car for $7,200 which you expect you will be able to sell for $3,600 at the end of every two years (you'll have to purchase a new equivalent car at that time). Insurance costs are $560 for each six months of operation, starting immediately, and advertising costs (flyers, newspaper ads, etc.) are estimated to be $110 per month. All calculations are performed using 4 significant figures. The big question is how many customers you will have, but you figuring on setting a fee of $2 per delivery, which will be payable by your clients at the end of each month. Assuming a stable interest rate of 6% per year, compounded monthly what is the break even number of deliveries per month?
Jonathan is considering opening a shop for online baseball memorabilia. He has two options. He can build the web site himself and only pay for hosting. This would cost him $2,000/year. The average item for sale is $4.01. Average costs associated with each sale are $2.99. His second option is to use an existing e-commerce service. This incurs an additional monthly cost of $15/month. The site takes a cut of his sales of $0.22/item, so he is planning on also increasing his prices by $0.46/item. The remaining costs stay the same. If Jonathan sells 700 items, which option does he prefer? a. He prefers to build the site himself at Q=700. b. None of the other options. c. He is indifferent between the two options at Q=700. d. He prefers to use the e-commerce site at Q=700.
Lang Industrial Systems Company (LISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $252,000, has a four-year life, and requires $78,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $354,000, has a six-year life, and requires $72,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Suppose LISC always needs a conveyor belt system; when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 34 percent and the discount rate is 8 percent. Calculate the EAC for both conveyor belt systems. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) System A System B EAC 127564.C Which conveyor belt system should the firm choose? • System B ○ System A

A subsidiary of a major furniture company manufactures wooden pallets. The plant has the capacity to produce 300,000 pallets per year. Presently the plant is operating at 70% of capacity. The selling price of the pallets is $18.25 per pallet and the variable cost per pallet is $15.75. At zero output, the subsidiary plant’s annual fixed costs are $550,000. This amount remains constant for any production rate between zero and plant capacity. Solve, a. With the present 70% of capacity production, what is the expected annualprofit or loss for the subsidiary plant. b. What annual volume of sales (units) is required in order for the plant to break even? c. What would be the annual profit or loss if the plant were operating at 90% of capacity? d. If fixed costs could be reduced by 40%, what would be the new breakeven sales volume?
Air Alberta is considering replacing the firm's regional jets with a new model, which has a total purchase price of $15 million. The new jets will generate additional revenue of $3.5 million per year for the 20 years of the useful life of the jets. Expected added operational costs of the jets are 25% of revenues. Air Alberta expects to use the new jets for 20 years, at which time, they would be replaced. The company estimates that all the new planes could be sold for a total of $4.7 million (salvage value). The new regional jets have a CCA rate of 25% (d = .25). Air Alberta has a corporate tax rate of 35%. The purchase would require a $2,000,000 increase in net working capital, which would be returned to Air Alberta when it sold the jets after 20 years. Required: Using a discount rate of 15%, calculate the NPV of the new jet purchase. Prepare a short memo and discuss your recommendation on the purchase of the regional jets.
