Q1. Let us assume that a telecom company has just started its operations in the neighboring town of Kharkhoda on 01 September 2021. Their marketing campaign, which had cost INR 200,000 (INR 2 Lakhs), had resulted in 4000 customers joining the company on 01 September 2021. Further, the firm projects an addition of 100 customers from Kharkhoda and nearby areas every year now onwards. The profit per customer is INR 80 in the first year, and it is projected to increase by INR 20 each year (INR 100, 120, 140 and so on). The first year’s customer retention percentage is expected to be at 60%, increasing by 5% every year (63%, 66.15%, and so on).
The WACC (weighed cost of capital) of this company is 12%. Calculate the total cohort value (net of acquisition cost) for the initial cohort, at the end of the 5th year.

S7.18
Markland Manufacturing intends to increase capacity by overcoming a bottleneck operation by adding
new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The fixed costs for proposal A are $50,000, and
for proposal B, $70,000. The variable cost for A is $12.00, and for B, $10.00. The revenue generated by
each unit is $20.00.
Using the data in Problem
a) What is the break-even point in dollars for proposal A if you add $10,000 installation to the fixed cost?
b) What is the break-even point in dollars for proposal B if you add $10,000 installation to the fixed
cost?
How did you calculate the reduced cost, allowable increase, and allowable decrease in the table for range of opitmality?

Several graduate students at ABC University formed a company called the ABC River Rafting Company to produce rubber rafts. The initial investment in plant and equipment is estimated to be $2,000. Labor and material cost is approximately $5 per raft. (a) If the rafts can be sold at a price of $10 each, what volume of demand would be necessary to break-even? (b) The students believe demand for their product will far exceed the break-even point in (a). They are now contemplating a larger initial investment of $10,000 for more-automated equipment that would reduce the variable cost of manufacture to $2 per raft, what is the break-even for this new process?

- Scenario 9.9"Gollee those cats sure go through a lot of food," Geoff exclaimed as he saw the shopping list pad that had been pre-printed with the words "cat food" at the top. He pondered a different approach to shopping for the furry little darlings, reviewed his shopping records, and discovered the following. The price of cat food has held steady at 89 cents per can. Despite feigning indifference, each of the seven cats nibbles their way through an average of one can per day, three hundred sixty five days a year. The price of gasoline has held constant at $3.50 per gallon and his pickup uses a gallon each way to the cat food store. The cost to hold a can of cat food is 10% of the unit price.Use the information in Scenario 9.9 to determine the average pantry space occupied by cat food if each can takes up 13 cubic inches and Geoff obeys an EOQ policy for managing the cat food purchase process.arrow_forwardThe owner of Old-Fashioned Berry Pies, S.

These fees have caused some shifts in customer behavior, as more airline passengers bring their own snacks on the airline and pack a smaller bag that is acceptable for “carry-on”. By using carry-on luggage, the airline customer can save $25 or more in baggage-checking fees. This situation has resulted in a cost shifting for passengers, airlines, and airport security. As the number of checked bag decreases, the cost of baggage handling for the airlines decreases (and revenues increase for those bags that are checked). In contrast, the costs and delays in security checkpoints increase as security personnel must check additional carry-on bags, causing delays for passengers and the need for additional security personnel to handle the increased number of…arrow_forward
