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?

The supplier has bid $0.10 per part, given a forecast you provided of 100,000 parts in year 1; 300,000 in year 2; and 500,000 in year 3. Shipping and handling of parts from the supplier's factory is estimated at $0.01 per unit. Additional inventory handling charges should amount to $0.003 per unit. Finally, administrative costs are estimated at $30 per month. Although your plant is able to continue producing the part, the plant would need to invest in another molding machine, which would cost $20,000. Direct materials can be purchased for $0.05 per unit. Direct labor is estimated at $0.04 per unit for wages plus a 50 percent surcharge for benefits and, indirect labor is estimated at $0.011 per unit plus 50 percent benefits. Up-front engineering and design costs will amount to $50,000. Finally, management has insisted that overhead be…arrow_forward

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_forward

- Q1:A/ The Office Supplies Company offers two types of pens, the first type has high specifications, while the second type has normal specifications. The expected profit from selling each unit of the first type is half a dollar, and from selling each unit of the second type is a quarter of a dollar. The time taken to manufacture the first type is twice the time taken to manufacture the second type for the purpose of producing no more than 1,000 pens of both types per week. The company can produce at most 400 units of the first type per week, and it can produce no more than 700 units of the second type per week. Note that the company can produce each of them separately.
