Olympic Auto Supply, Inc., produces and distributes auto supplies. The company is anxious to enter the rapidly growing market for long-life batteries that is based on lithium technology. Management believes that to be fully competitive, the price of the new battery that the company is developing cannot exceed P65. At this price, management is confident that the company can sell 50,000 batteries per year. The batteries would require an investment of P2,500,000, and the desired ROI is 20%. Required: Compute the target cost of one battery.

90 Questions remaining Before going on vacation, your insured trades in his outboard boat, motor and trailer for new, more exper sve models without your knowledge. When he returns, six weeks later, he advises you of the transaction and at the same time reports riking a rock with the motor while he was away, which cost $1,000 to repair. His Homeowners policy contains a "Watert caft, Outboard Motor. Trailer and Miscellaneous Equipment" rider. What would be your response? A) You will report the change to the insurer, assure him the policy covers the loss and ask him to submit the repair bill. OB) The policy does not cover the loss since he did not report the new acquisition within 30 days. OC) The policy will cover only the proportion that the value of the equipment trade bears to the value of the new equipment. OD) since he had not paid the extra premium for the higher valued equipment, the policy will not cover
Imagine that you run a business that manufactures a unique medical product. The potential demand for the product is very short lived and uncertain. Your production cycle is very long, which means you need to have the products ready in advance. If the demand for your product arises (only 30% chance), they will be sold well; if not, the products will remain unsold and you will need to liquidate them for $500 each. You predict that the demand will be normally distributed with mean= 15000 and standard deviation= 7000. The production cost of your product is, on average, $5500. You will sell your product for $12500. Suppose you make 18000 products, and you get lucky and demand will occur this year. What is your expected profit?

You want to establish your own business and are thinking about releasing a new product. Customers will pay P150 for it, according to market research, and your sales team believes they can sell at least 1,000 units every month. The equipment you'll need to make the product will require a monthly fixed cost of P400,000 and lease of facility at P500,000. Costs of producing the product are direct labor P20, direct materials P15, shipping P5 and sales commission P10. What is the breakeven point? Will this be a profitable venture? Justify you answer.
You are a purchasing director for a group of grocery stores in the northeastern United States. You have signed a contract with a farmer in Illinois to provide you with a certain amount of corn for a set price. That corn is nearly ready to be harvested and sent to your stores. Title to the corn will transfer when the corn is picked and the risk of loss will remain with the farmer until the corn is delivered to your store. The first half of the payment for the corn is due in two weeks, when the corn is to be picked. You see on the news one morning that several major storms moved through Illinois overnight, and the reporters are showing and reporting that nearly all crops in the region have been destroyed. You are worried that the corn from your contract has been destroyed and you do not want to send the payment for the corn. Explain what you will do in this situation.
In your country, the demand curve of a litre of petrol is given by: P = 124 - 3QD. Due to political unrest coupled with the slow recovery from pandemic, the global price of petrol surged which led to an increase of price per litre of petrol in your country from TK58 to TK88. After the price rise, the employees of the company you work for demanded a pay-raise. Your employer, hence, increased your income from 32954 taka to 42762 taka. The new demand curve at the new income level is P = 139 - 3QD. i. Calculate the income elasticity of demand (YED). ii. Now assume that the increase in income (and the subsequent shift of the demand curve) had occured before the rise in price, then what would the YED be?
Jasmine owns 12 apartment buildings in a college town, which it rents exclusively to students. Each apartment building contains 120 rental units, but the owner is having cash flow problems due to an average vacancy rate of nearly 50 percent. The apartments in each building have comparable floor plans, but some buildings are closer to campus than others. Jasmine’s accumulated data from last year on the number of apartments rented, the rental price (in dollars), and the amount spent on advertising (in hundreds of dollars) at each of the 12 apartments are available below. These data, along with the distance (in miles) from each apartment building to campus, are presented below. Jasmine is looking for expert advice on the available data to inform administrative and business policy. By applying this scenario, help her regress the quantity demanded of her apartments on price, advertising, and distance datasets by using Excel or SPSS.

Nippon Steel's expenses for heating and cooling a large manufacturing facility are expected to increase according to an arithmetic gradient beginning in year 2. If the cost is $550,000 this year (year 0) and will be $550,000 again in year 1, but then it is estimated to increase by $45,000 each year through year 12, what is the equivalent annual worth in years 1 to 12 of these energy costs at an interest rate of 11% per year? The equivalent annual worth is determined to be $
