Healthy Foods Inc is considering introducing a new line of dried flowers. The firm expects to be able to generate $ 4 million in revenues from this new line, each year for the next 10 years. Customers who come to buy the flowers often buy the firm’s traditional offerings (fresh fruit and baked goods) and it is anticipated that the revenues on these goods will increase from $ 14 million to $ 17 million as a consequence. The firm has a 40% pre-tax operating margin on all of its products. Assuming a 8-year life, a 10% cost of capital, a 40% tax rate and no salvage value or depreciation, what is the maximum that you would be willing to invest in this new product line?

FAE Technologies is deciding whether it should begin production of a new toy robot. It has manufactured children’s toys before but nothing as advanced as its latest robot so historical data is at a minimum. The company believes that they can secure the materials for manufacture for between $65-85 per unit and labor costs would be between $15-25 per unit. Management’s expectations are that materials will cost $70 per unit and labor $25 per unit and that 800 units will be sold monthly. Should FAE decide to manufacture the robots in-house, maintenance of the factory machine would cost $15,000 per month. However, management has found that another alternative is for the company to outsource the labor for a flat rate of $35 per unit. The company expects to sell between 750-1000 units per month initially at a price of $149. Provide recommendations for FAE technologies that will maximize profit. Also include base, worst, and best case scenario calculations and provide a scenario summary. Be…
