E3 Your company plans to raise price on product A by 5% per year. Due to competition, sales volume from product A is expected to decline at 10% per year. Revenue will be $5M for this year. Alternatively, based on the projection from the marketing department, you may reduce the sales volume decline from 10% to 5% if the price is kept unchanged. The product will be discontinued at the end of year 5 for both scenarios. If the firm's TVOM is 10%, Determine the revenue cash flow streams for both alternatives. What is the Excel financial function to compute PW of the revenue streams?
SLP manufacturing requires painting 8,000 sq. ft. surface area. Two kinds of paint are available whose Davis and Boysen. Davis cost Php 1.40 per sq. ft. but needs renewal at the end of 4 years while Boysen cost Php 1.80 sq. ft. If the money is worth 12% effective, how often should paint B be renewed so that it will be economical as point A?
A small company heats its building and spends $8,000 per year on natural gas for this purpose. Cost increases of natural gas are expected to be 10% per year starting one year from now (i.e., the first cash flow is $8,800 at EOY one). Their maintenance on the gas furnace is $345 per year, and this expense is expected to increase by 15% per year starting one year from now. If the planning horizon is 15 years, what is the total annual equivalent expense for operating and maintaining the furnace? The interest rate is 18% per year.
The maintenance cost for furnaces will be $100,000 per year for 2 years, then changed to $120,000 per year for 2 years, and $140,000 for the last year. If the interest rate will be 8% per year for the first 3 years and then increased to 10% in years 4 and 5. What is the equivalent present worth of the maintenance cost?

Calisto Launch Services is an independent space corporation and has been contracted to develop and launch one oftwo different satellites. Initial equipment will cost $750,000 for the first satellite and $850,000 for the second.Development will take 5 years at an expected cost of $150,000 per year for the first satellite; $120,000 per year forthe second. The same launch vehicle can be used for either satellite and will cost $275,000 at the time of the launch5 years from now. At the conclusion of the launch, the contracting company will pay Calisto $2,500,000 for eithersatellite.Calisto is also considering whether they should consider launching both satellites. Because Calisto would haveto upgrade its facilities to handle two concurrent projects, the initial costs would rise by $150,000 in addition to thefirst costs of each satellite. Calisto would need to hire additional engineers and workers, raising the yearly costs to atotal of $400,000. An additional compartment would be added to…
