Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.Paul Duncan, financial manager of EduSoft Inc., is facing a dilemma. The firm was founded 5 years ago to provide educational software for the rapidly expanding primary and secondary school markets. Although EduSoft has done well, the firm's founder believes an industry shakeout is imminent. To survive, EduSoft must grab market share now, and this will require a large infusion of new capital.Because he expects earnings to continue rising sharply and looks for the stock price to follow suit, Mr. Duncan does not think it would be wise to issue new common stock at this time. On the other hand, interest rates are currently high by historical standards, and the firm's B rating means that interest payments on a new debt issue would be prohibitive.…

- Please step by step process. Professor von Nordenflycht presents Dean Kayande with two new proposals for offering a graduate certificate program. Both programs will cost $60,000, for classroom and instructor time. Both programs are projected to have two possible revenue outcomes. Program 1, which focuses on accounting, is projected to have a 50% chance of generating $150,000 in revenue and a 50% chance of generating $100,000 in revenue. Project 2, which focuses on cryptocurrencies, is predicted to have a 62.5% chance of generating $200,000 in revenue or, otherwise, generating no revenue! a.

Refer to the introductory story in chapter 1 (see page 43) for additional background. (The components of the Caesars serial case can be completed in any order.) Caesars Palace® Las Vegas made headlines when it undertook a $75 million renovation. In mid-September 2015, the hotel closed its then-named Roman Tower, which was last updated in 2001, and started a major renovation of the 567 rooms housed in that tower . On January 1, 2016, the newly renamed Julius Tower reopened, replacing the Roman Tower. In addition to renovating the existing rooms and suites in the former Roman Tower, 20 guest rooms were added to the Roman Tower. With the renovation completed, Caesars expects the Julius Tower room rate to average around $149 per night. This increase, a $25 or 20…arrow_forwardIn an effort to raise the demand for reading tests, managers are planning to lower the price from $36 per test to $20 per test, the current price of the math test. They believe that doing so will increase the demand for reading tests to 60,000. Prepare a contribution format income statement reflecting Abado’s new pricing and demand structure. Abado Profiles provides testing services to school districts that wish to assess students’ reading and mathematical abilities. Last year Abado evaluated 60,000 math tests and 20,000 reading tests.

- Sandhill’s managers have determined that variable costs per unit will increase by 20% beginning next month. To offset this increase in costs, they are considering a 20% increase in the sales price. Market research indicates that the price increase will result in a 2% decrease in the number of learning systems Sandhill sells. What will be Sandhill’s expected operating income if the price increase is implemented? (Round per unit calculations to 2 decimal places e.g. 52.75 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

The school administrator is not technology savvy and therefore sought advice from three of the board members who were knowledgeable in the information systems and technology field. One director advised the administrator to purchase an off-the-shelf solution which would allow the school to get the system configured and up and running in a short period with reasonable costs. The second advised the administrator to invest in the development of a unique system to meet the custom requirements of the school’s administration. He suggested that this would create a closer fit to the school’s needs compared to purchasing software, but will cost more. The third director suggested using an open source solution which would have little if any upfront costs but may take some time to set up. i) Identify the…arrow_forwardThe actual and planned data for Underwater University for the Fall term were as follows: Actual Planned Enrollment 4,500 4,125 Tuition per credit hour $120 $135 Credit hours 60,450 43,200 Registration, records, and marketing costs per enrolled student $275 $275 Instructional costs per credit hour $64 $60 Depreciation on classrooms and equipment $825,600 $825,600 Registration, records, and marketing costs vary by the number of enrolled students, while instructional costs vary by the number of credit hours.

The following shown table shows the results for the first two units produced. The firm has an order for two additional units. Assuming the pattern of learning curve continues (same rate): Solve, a. At what rate is learning occurring? b. How long will it take to produce the fourth unit? c.
