Raindeer PLC is a highly profitable electronics company that manufactures a range of innovativeproducts for industrial use. Its success is based to a large extent on the ability of the company’sdevelopment group to generate new ideas that result in commercially viable products. The latestof these products is just about to undergo some final tests and a decision has to be taken whetheror not to proceed with an investment in the facilities required for manufacturing. You have beenasked to undertake an evaluation of this investment.The company has already spent £750,000 on the development of this product. The final testing ofthe product will cost about £40,000. The head of the development group is very confident that thetests will be successful based on the work already undertaken. Another company has alreadyoffered Raindeer £1.10 million for the product’s patent and an exclusive right to its manufactureand sale, even though the final tests are still to be completed. This sum being…

The inhabitants of a small island begin exporting beautiful cloth made from a rare plant that grows only on their island. Seeing how popular the small quantity that they export has been, they steadily raise their prices. A clothing maker from New York, thinking that he can save money by "cutting out the middleman," decides to travel to the small island and buy the cloth himself. Ignorant of the local custom of offering strangers outrageous prices and then negotiating down, the clothing maker accepts (much to everyone's surpise) the initial price of 400 tepizes/m². The price of this cloth in New York is 120 dollars/yard². Part A If the clothing maker bought 500 m² of this fabric, how much money did he lose? Use 1 tepiz = 0.625 dollar and 0.9144 m = 1 yard.
