A fashion label is considering inclusive sizing which would expand its offerings to plus size and petite clothing. It estimates that a move to inclusive sizing would have an initial cost of $650,000 and would require an additional annual investment $55,000 per year. If each piece of inclusively sized clothing sold generates on average $27.9 of revenue, a. What is the minimum number of pieces of inclusive sized clothing would the fashion label need to sell per year to break even in 7 years assuming their MARR is 7.9%? b. The fashion retail is also less certain about the annual costs and hires an operations manager who predicts that the annual costs is either $55,000, $25,000 or $120,000 with associated probabilities of 0.6, 0.3 and 0.1 respectively. If the selling price of clothing remains same what is the expected value of the

H2. A clothing manufacturer is considering whether to add hoodies to its range of products. The hoodies would sell for $45 each and the company expects to sell 10,000 units per year. Selling hoodies, however, would cause sales of conventional jumpers to decrease by 1,000 units per year. The jumpers sell for $43 per unit. The variable costs of production are $25 per unit for hoodies and $20 per unit for jumpers. If the company adds hoodies to its range of products, fixed costs will increase by $56,000 per year and annual depreciation will increase by $21,000. What is the incremental operating cash flow from selling hoodies, if the corporate tax rate is 30%? Please show proper step by step calculation

Aylmer-in-You (AIY) Inc. projects unit sales for a new opera tenor emulation implant as follows: Year Unit Sales 1 101,000 2 115,000 3 125,000 4 145,000 5 90,000 Production of the implants will require $753,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 15% of the projected sales increase for the following year. (Because sales are expected to fall in Year 5, there is no NWC cash flow occurring for Year 4.) Total fixed costs are $177,000 per year, variable production costs are $309 per unit, and the units are priced at $360 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $10.0 million. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus falls into Class 8 for tax purposes (20%). In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 20% of its acquisition cost. AIY is in the 40% marginal tax bracket and has a required…
Question 1 The sales and finance team of a car company is evaluating a new proposed luxury model of its brand that will require an investment of $1Billion in a new machine for car interior decoration. Demand for the company’s car is expected to begin at 100,000 units in year 1, with 10% annual growth thereafter. Production cost will be $40,000 per unit in the first year, and increase by a rate of either 3% or 5% per year as a result of wage increase. Selling price will start at $35,000 and increase by 5% of the production cost. The model will be phased out at the end of year 10. In addition, 0.3%, 2% and 1% of before tax profit per year will be spent on social corporate responsibility, commercial (including promotions) and recalls respectively. Assume taxes will be 30% of yearly profit and that inflation will remain at 0% per year throughout the 10 year of production. Also assume interest rate is expected to be 3% per year in the first 5 years and 5% in the last 5 years.a. Based on…
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
