W7 Q5 A paper published in the Harvard Business Review points out a new way to calculate economic profit that could be more appropriate for service firms and other people-intensive companies. Instead of focusing on investment and return on investment, the focus is on employee productivity, in terms of both generating revenues and reducing costs. The approach is to first determine economic profit in the conventional way, except that we ignore taxes, so that economic profit is before tax, as follows: Economic profit = Operating profit − Capital charge Assume the following information for a hotel chain that wishes to adopt the new method. The firm has $100 million in operating profit, has $1 billion in investment, and uses a cost of capital rate of 5%, so the capital charge is $50 million and the economic profit is $50 million. Relevant calculations are contained in Part 1 of the following schedule: Part 1: Economic Profit (in thousands, except cost of capital rate) Revenue…

A bank has two types of branches. A satellite branch employs 3 people, requires $400,000 to construct and open, and generates an average daily revenue of $10,000. A full-service branch employs 6 people, requires $560,000 to construct and open, and generates an average daily revenue of $18,000. The bank has up to $11.92 million available to open new branches and has decided to limit the new branches to a maximum of 25 and to hire at most 120 new employees. (a) How many branches of each type should the bank open to maximize the average daily revenue? Find the maximum average daily revenue. satellite branches = ?full-service branches = ?maximum revenue = $? (b) At the optimal solution from part (a), analyze the bank's constraints (number of new branches, number of new employees, and budget) to determine the "Amount Available," "Amount Used," and "Amount Not Used (Slack)." branchespossible = ?used = ?not used = ? employeespossible = ?used = ?not used = ?budgetpossible = $?…
A local restaurateur who had been running a profitable business for many years recently purchased a three-way liquor license. This license gives the owner the legal right to sell beer, wine, and spirits in her restaurant. The cost of obtaining the three-way license was about $90,000, since only 300 such licenses are issued by the state. While the license is transferable, only $75,000 is refundable if the owner chooses not to use the license. After selling alcoholic beverages for about one year, the restaurateur came to the realization that she was losing dinner customers and that her profitable restaurant was turning into a noisy, unprofitable bar. Subsequently, she spent about $8,000 placing advertisements in various newspapers and restaurant magazines across the state offering to sell the license for $80,000. After a long wait, she finally received one offer to purchase her license for $77,000. What is your opinion of the restaurateur’s decisions? Would you recommend that she accept…
