Ahlia Co specializes in the production of a range of air conditioning appliances for industrial premises. It is about to launch a new product, the 'Energy Buster', a unique air conditioning unit which is capable of providing unprecedented levels of air conditioning using a minimal amount of electricity. The technology used in the Energy Buster is unique so Ahlia Co has patented it so that no competitors can enter the market for two years. The company's development costs have been high and it is expected that the product will only have a five-year life cycle. Ahlia Co is now trying to ascertain the best pricing policy that they should adopt for the Energy Buster's launch onto the market. Demand is very responsive to price changes and research has established that for every $15 increase in price, demand would be expected to fall by 1,000 units. If the company sets the retail price at $735, only 1,000 units would be demanded. The costs of producing each air conditioning unit are as…
You are considering investing in ICI. Suppose ICI is currently undergoing expansion and is not expected to change its cash dividend while expanding for the next 4 years. This means that its current annual $3.00 dividend will remain for the next 4 years. After the expansion is completed, higher earnings are expected to result causing a 30% increase in dividends each year for 3 years. After these three years of 30% growth, the dividend growth rate is expected to be 2% per year forever. If the required return for ICI commonstock is 11%, what is a share worth today?

The gaming commission is introducing a new lottery game called Infinite Progresso. The winner of the Infinite Progresso jackpot will receive $600 at the end of January, $1,600 at the end of February, $2,600 at the end of March, and so on up to $11,600 at the end of December. At the beginning of the next year, the sequence repeats starting at $600 in January and ending at $11,600 in December. This annual sequence of payments repeats indefinitely. If the gaming commission expects to sell a minimum of 1,150,000 tickets, what is the minimum price they can charge for the tickets to break even, assuming the commission earns 3.00% /per/year/month on its investments and there is exactly one winning ticket?
