Can i get a step by step please 4a2) A new watch project for the Omegga company has the following data. The estimated sales price of the new watch is $200 and the sales volume to be 1,000 units in year 1, 1,250 units in year 2, and 1,325 units in year 3. The project has a three-year life. Variable costs amount to $125 per unit and fixed costs are $135,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $178,000, which is depreciated straight-line to zero over the three-year project life. The actual market value of the initial investment at the end of year 3 is $52,000. Initial net working capital investment is $57,000 and NWC will maintain a level equal to 18% of sales each year thereafter. The tax rate is 35% and the required return on the project is 11%. Given the $57,000 initial investment in NWC, what change occurs for NWC during year 1? Explain.
Question 1 Health for All (“H4A”) is launching a new innovative hand sanitizer. However, due to intense research and development required to meet regulatory requirements, H4A wants to ensure they charge the correct price to recover all these costs. Through their research they identified that if they charge $60 per bottle of sanitizer, 250 000 bottles will be demanded per year. They expect that the demand for sanitizers will fall in the next three years therefore they have estimated this product to have a life of 3 years. Given the current Covid-19 pandemic, many other businesses are also selling hand sanitizers. Therefore the market that H4A wants to enter has a very high elastic demand. It has thus been observed that if H4A increases its price by $2, the demand will fall by 2 000 bottles while a reduction in price by the same amount will increase demand by 2 000 bottles as well. The production of the sanitizers will incur the following costs per year at differing levels of production.…
Please answer questions 4a-4d only. Neptune Company has developed a small inflatable toy that it is anxious to introduce to its customers. The company’s Marketing Department estimates that demand for the new toy will range between 20,000 units and 35,000 units per month. The new toy will sell for $9.00 per unit. Enough capacity exists in the company’s plant to produce 25,000 units of the toy each month. Variable expenses to manufacture and sell one unit would be $5.00 , and incremental fixed expenses associated with the toy would total $30,000 per month. Neptune has also identified an outside supplier who could produce the toy for a price of $4.00 per unit plus a fixed fee of $71,000 per month for any production volume up to 25,000 units. For a production volume between 25,001 and 55,000 units the fixed fee would increase to a total of $142,000 per month. Required: 1. Calculate the break-even point in unit sales assuming that Neptune does not hire the outside supplier. 2. How much…
question 15 After spending a year and $49,000,you finally have the design of your new product ready. In order to start production, you will need $31,000 in raw materials and you will also need to use some existing equipment that you've fully depreciated, but which has a market value of $103,000. Your colleague notes that the new product could represent 10% of the company's overall sales and that 10% of overhead is $60,000. Your tax rate is 25%.As you start your analysis of the product, what should be your initial incremental free cash flow? The initial incremental free cash flow is $________.(Round to the nearest dollar. Be sure to use a negative sign if the answer is negative.)

Question 2 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…
8-8 Lemington Enterprises is considering a project to replace its fleet of 10 vehicles. The company makes a fleet replacement decision every five years. Its current fleet of 10 vehicles was purchased five years ago at $50,000 each and can be sold for $10,000 each today. The new vehicles will cost $60,000 each and will bring cost savings of $100,000 per year. In five years, the new vehicles can be sold for $12,000 each. If the fleet is not replaced today, the current fleet will have no salvage value in five years’ time. The CCA rate on these vehicles is 30%, and the company’s marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the PV(CCATS) for this replacement project, assuming a required rate of return of 10%? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Select one: a. $115,626 b. $135,672 c. $130,295 d. $105,725 e. $148,711

question 20 Billingham Packaging is considering expanding its production capacity by purchasing a new machine, the XC-750. The cost of the XC-750 is $2.75 million. Unfortunately, installing this machine will take several months and will partially disrupt production. The firm has just completed a $50,000 feasibility study to analyze the decision to buy the XC-750, resulting in the following estimates: • Marketing: Once the XC-750 is operational next year, the extra capacity is expected to generate $10.00 million per year in additional sales, which will continue for the 10-year life of the machine. • Operations: The disruption caused by the installation will decrease sales by $5.00 million this year. As with Billingham's existing products, the cost of goods for the products produced by the XC-750 is expected to be 70% of their sale price. The increased production will also require increased inventory on hand of $1.00 million during the life of the project, including…
Part A A software company is considering launching a new product in the market. To record consumer behavior, the company participated in two domestic software fairs in Athens and Thessaloniki that costed €7,000. The results showed that there are two Scenarios (A and B) whose probabilities of occurrence are 60% and 40% respectively, based on consumers’ willingness to buy the new product. To start production, €100,000 is required for new machinery, plus another €2,000 for transport costs and €1,000 for installation costs. This is a state-of-the-art technology machinery, thus, its economic life is only two years. The new machinery will be fully depreciated at the end of its economic life and the company applies the straight-line depreciation method. Table 1 shows the estimated figures on sales, variable costs, selling price, management and distribution costs and working capital needs. At the end of the second year the working capital will be recovered. Table 1: Estimated financial data…
