Diane Dennison is a financial analyst working for a large chain of discount retail stores. Her company is looking at the possibility of replacing the existing fluorescent lights in all of its stores with LED lights. The main advantage of making this switch is that the LED lights are much more efficient and cost less to operate. In addition, LED lights last much longer and will have to be replaced after ten years, whereas the existing lights have to be replaced after five years. Of course, making this change will require a large investment to purchase new LED lights and to pay for the labor of switching out tens of thousands of bulbs. Diane plans to use a 10-year horizon to analyze this proposal, figuring that changes to lighting technology will eventually make this investment obsolete. Diane's friend and coworker, David, has analyzed another energy-saving investment opportunity that involves replacing outdoor lighting with solar-powered fixtures in a few of the company's…

please no excel!! please show all work and calculations thank you
You are considering adding a new software title to those published by your highly successful software company. If you add the new product, it will use capacity on your disk duplicating machines that you had planned on using for your flagship product, "Battlin" Bobby." You had planned on using the unused capacity to start selling "BB" on the West coast in two years. You would eventually have had to purchase additional duplicating machines 10 years from today, but using the capacity for your new product will require moving this purchase up to 2 years from today. If the new machines will cost $101,000 and can be expensed under Section 179, your marginal tax rate is 21 percent, and your cost of capital is 10 percent, what is the opportunity cost associated with using the unused capacity for the new product? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Opportunity cost
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…

Zynex Co manufactures a range of electronic devices, which it sells to online stores and retail outlets. It has a risk-seeking attitude and its objective is to maximise profit. Six months ago it released a new version of its smartphone, the ZV. Zynex Co's main smartphone competitor has announced that it will launch a new version of its smartphone in one month's time and Zynex Co is concerned about the effect of the launch of this rival product on future demand for the ZV. For each of the previous ten smartphones launched by its competitors, Zynex Co's marketing team has analysed the impact on Zynex Co's sales performance. This data was retained specifically for the purpose of forecasting future demand of Zynex Co's smartphones and is stored in the company's financial database. Based on this analysis, the marketing team has identified three possible outcomes for the impact on the demand of the ZV: a small decrease, a medium decrease and a large decrease.

A beauty product company is developing a new fragrance named Happy Forever. There is a probability of .52 that consumers will love Happy Forever, and in this case, annual sales will be 1.02 million bottles; a probability of .37 that consumers will find the smell acceptable and annual sales will be 228,000 bottles; and a probability of .11 that consumers will find the smell unpleasant and annual sales will be only 50,000 bottles. The selling price is $36, and the variable cost is $11 per bottle. Fixed production costs will be $1.08 million per year, and depreciation will be $1.15 million. Assume that the marginal rate tax is 27 percent. What are the expected annual incremental after-tax free cash flows from the new fragrance?
