Suppose you manufacture 10 million hard drives per year specifically for Dell laptop computers. If your average variable cost C=$20/unit, annualized cost of investment to build a hard drive factory I=$30 million, and market price (bailout market price in the event Dell does not buy) Pm=$22/unit, what is your company's RSI (relationship specific investment)?
Find the expected value assuming the risk factor is 30 % and the interest rate 12%, if you will receive $20,000 one year from today.please show work
The University Eye Institute in upper New-York state is a state-of-the-art ophthalmology center that specializes in a sophisticated laser surgery to correct myopia. Current annual volume is 1000 operations. A major customer of the center is the United Health Insurance system. United currently sends the University Eye Institute 200 patients per year or 20% of the total.
United pays $2,500 per operation as does every payor. The United Health Insurance Company is satisfied with the quality and service provided by the University Eye Institute and has proposed that they send the Center an additional 100 patients (operations) per year. United proposes that the fee be reduced to $2,000 for the additional 100 patients and for the prior 200 patients. Assume the fee paid by payors other than United Health remains the same.
a) What is the marginal revenue per patient if the proposal is accepted?
b) What is the marginal cost per patient if the proposal is accepted? Here are some cost data to…

- The business manager decides to access the latest macroeconomic predictions from the Bank of England. This provides him with the following probabilities: Recession (15%), Low Growth (30%), Medium Growth (35%), and High Growth (20%).

What attitude to risk does this represent?arrow_forwardYou have been asked to forecast the additional funds needed (AFN) for a firm, which is planning its operation for the coming year. The firm is operating at full capacity. Data for use in the forecast are shown below. However, the CEO is concerned about the impact of a change in the payout ratio from the 10% that was used in the past to 50%, which the firm's investment bankers have recommended. Based on the AFN equation, by how much would the AFN for the coming year change if the firm increased the payout from 10% to the new and higher level? All euros are in millions. Last year's sales = S0 €300.0 Last year's accounts payable €50.0 Sales growth rate = g 40% Last year's notes payable €15.0 Last year's total assets = A0* €500.0 Last year's accruals €20.0 Last year's profit margin = PM 20.0% Initial payout ratio 10.0% AFN = (A0*/S0)DS - (L0*/S0)DS - Profit margin ´ S1 ´ (1 -Payout)arrow_forwardJohn wants to invest $1 000 000.

It is estimated that a small number in the pool will have significant pre- existing conditions as indicated in the table. Based on the age of these 115 people, the insurance company estimates the following distribution of health care claims (which includes necessary profit and administrative costs of the insurance company).

The standard deviation in weekly demand is 20 units. The lead-time for the item is six weeks, and it costs the company $30 to process each order. The holding cost for each unit is $10 per year. The company operates 52 weeks per year.

- You are considering opening a new plant. The plant will cost $101.3 million up front and will take one year to build. After that it is expected to produce profits of $30.5 million at the end of every year of production. The cash flows are expected to last forever. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity if your cost of capital is 8.6%. Should you make the investment? Calculate the IRR and use it to determine the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged. The NPV of the project will be $ 225.3 million. (Round to one decimal place.) You should make the investment. (Select from the drop-down menu.) The IRR is %. (Round to two decimal places.) 23arrow_forwardThe following graph has plots of the net PW of an investment as functions of %-ge changes in the values of the input variables V1, V2, V3 and V4.

You will list the home at the median home price for your area $425,000. You have done some research and most homes in this value range are closing within 26 days of being listed. The typical commission for homes in your value range is 6%. You and your realtor have signed a sales agreement for a 6% commission. The commission is typically split between the agent for the seller and the agent for the buyer, i.e. 3% of the 6% commission will go to your agent. Research shows that realtors in your area, when selling their properties, typically leave the properties listed for 10 days longer than the average listing-to-closing time of 26 days. After 15 days on the market, you receive an offer of $405,000. The agent recommends that you accept the offer. Also, see the help provided in the discussion preparation.

- PNG’s managers estimate that a 50% increase in price would cause an 80% reduction in the quantity of product sold. Total fixed costs for the product are $5000 and total variable costs are $4000, based on production of 400 units. The following values may be useful. 1n (0.2) = –1.609 1n (1.5) = 0.405 1n (0.5) = –0.693 1n (4000) = 8.294 1n (0.8) = –0.223 1n (5000) = 8.517 What is PNG’s price elasticity of demand? –0.252 +0.322 –3.973 +3.108arrow_forwardDescribe the net future worth of the project?arrow_forwardPhillip Witt, president of Witt Input Devices, wishes to create a portfolio of local suppliers for his new line of keyboards. Suppose that Phillip is willing to use one local supplier and up to two more located in other territories within the country. This would reduce the probability of a "super-event" that might shut down all suppliers at the same time at least 2 weeks to 0.6%, but due to increased distance the annual costs for managing each of the distant suppliers would be $24,500 (still $16,000 for the local supplier). A total shutdown would cost the company approximately $380,000. He estimates the "unique-event" risk for any of the suppliers to be 4%. Assuming that the local supplier would be the first one chosen, how many suppliers should Witt Input Devices use? Find the EMV for alternatives using 1, 2, or 3 suppliers. EMV(1) = $ 36210 (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)arrow_forward
