20X2 The Tennis Association Foundation, funded partly by the government, is planning an investment in the sport in order to encourage more children to take up tennis. This funding will lead to an increased number of children's tennis facilities being available in 20X2 and a corresponding rise in the sale of tennis racquets. The sales volume ratio for the year is expected to be 3:5 for badminton and tennis racquets respectively, with a weighted average contribution to sales (C/S) ratio of 52.21%. Racquetz Co has budgeted to sell badminton racquets for $22 per unit and tennis racquets for $32 per unit. Fixed costs are expected to be $604,750 for the year.

Tocor is considering the implementation of a lockbox collection system for its mid- western and western sales regions. Sales in those two regions are 30 percent of Tocor's annual sales of $560 million. The lockbox system will cost $187,000 a year and reduce collection time by 3 days. If Tocor could invest any released funds at 10.85 percent, should it use the lockbox system? Assume 365 days per year.

Investing $2,000,000 in TQM's Channel Support Systems initiative will at a minimum increase demand for your products 3.0% in this and in all future rounds. (Refer to the TQM Initiative worksheet in the CompXM Decisions menu.) Looking at the Round 0 Inquirer for Andrews, last year's sales were $163,608,638. Assuming similar sales next year, the 3.0% increase in demand will provide $4,908,259 of additional revenue. With the overall contribution margin of 34.2%, after direct costs this revenue will add $1,678,625 to the bottom line. For simplicity, assume that the demand increase and margins will remain at last year's levels. How long will it take to achieve payback on the initial $2,000,000 TQM investment, rounded to the nearest month? A. 10 months B. TQM investment will not have a significant financial impact C. 14 months D. 5 months

1. Suppose a proposed new road to be constructed in North Carolina between Raleigh and Morehead City will lower the average cost per trip by car from $5 to $4. Currently, 500,000 trips are made between the two cities per year. An estimate indicates that, all other things being equal, the new road will increase the number of trips per year to 600,000. Calculate the annual benefits to motorists of the new road as based on their willingness to pay. 2. A new tax is levied on airline profits to finance improvements in the nation’s airports. The current market rate of interest is 8 percent. However, airline profits are subject to a 50 percent tax. A cost-benefit analysis calculates the percent return to the investment in new air facilities to be 12 percent. Will net benefits from resource use increase as a result of construction of new air travel facilities?

A university's college of engineering would like to determine how much it will cost to keep its computing equipment current. In today's dollars, the college estimates that it will cost $110,000 to replace old computing equipment. Due to decreasing prices on computers, it estimates that this cost will decrease each of the following years by 3%. What would the present worth of computing updates for years 1-5 be, assuming a required 16% real return on its investments?
The Dallas Cowboys, an important NFL football team is considering three different investment scenarios to improve their training facilities. The estimated cash flows for each scenario are as follows: Scenario A: Initial Investment: $290,000// Cash Flows: $100,000 per year for 5 years Scenario B: Initial Investment: $480,000 // Cash Flows: $200,000 per year for 3 years Scenario C: Initial Investment: $431,000 // Cash Flows: $300,000 per year for 2 years The team's required rate of return is 10%.

A university is trying to determine how much it should charge for tickets to basketball games to help offset the expenses of the new arena. The cost to build the arena including labor, materials. e tc. was $92 million. Each year the maintenance cost is expected to increase by 5% as the building gets older. 1l1e maintenance cost for the first year is $150.000. Utilities arc expected to average about $200.000 per year and labor costs $300,000. The average attendance at basketball games over the year is expected to be 100,000 people (or 100,000 tickets sold to events). Assuming the arena has no other source of income besides regular ticket sales (not including student tickets) for basketball games, what should the university charge so that it can recover at least a 6% cost of borrowing on its investment? The university expects the arena to be used for 40 years and 10 have no appreciable salvage value
