The economic outlook in 2021 and 2022 is not going to be better as the world is facing the COVID 19 pandemic. The quantity demanded is expected to decrease by 20% in 2021. IMH cannot increase the selling price as it will pull the level of sales further down. It might have to reduce the selling price as the competitors are selling at RM5.00 per bottle. Explain the effect of reducing the price as set by the competitors based on numerical analysis. Suggest any other strategies that could be implemented to reduce any negative impacts on the business’s profitability

Argo, a firm organizing adventure travel, has returns that vary with the economy. Argo predicts that there is a 20% probability of a strong economy, a 50% probability of a normal economy, and a 30% probability of a weak economy. Given a strong economy, Argo expects a 35% return, given a normal economy, Argo expects a 14% return, and given a weak economy, Argo expects to lose 20%. What is the variance of returns for Argo?
Adam Andler Corp is analyzing an average-risk project, and the following data have been developed. Unit sales will be constant, but the sales price should increase with inflation. Fixed costs will also be constant, but variable costs should rise with inflation. The project should last for 3 years. This is just one of many projects for the firm, so any losses on this project can be used to offset gains on other firm projects. What is the project's expected NPV? Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number. WACC or cost of capital Net investment cost (depreciable basis) The salvage value of its equipment No other fixed assets will be acquired for following years The company will require an increase in net working capital at the $10,000 beginning The company will liquidate all working capital at the end of the project -10,000 Units sold (constant through years) 60,000 $30.00 $50,000 $17.00 Average price per unit, Year 1 Fixed operating…

ou are considering setting up a firm to produce widgets. The cost of the project is $30 today. The demand for widgets is uncertain. It can be either high or low with equal probability. When the demand is high, cash flows in t = 1 are $66 and when the demand is low, cash flows in t = 1 are $34. The discount rate is 10%. What is the NPV of the project? Suppose you can commission a study that tells you whether the demand for widgets will be high or low. The study takes one year to complete. That is, if you commission the study you must decide in t = 1 whether to invest. If you invest the cash flows will arrive in t = 2. What is the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the study today?
Need help with a and b. Also how high can the discount rate be before you would reject the project?
