CH5 #10 A company is considering two alternative marketing strategies for a new product. Introducing the product will require an outlay of $15,000. With a low price, the product will generate cash proceeds of $10,000 per year and will have a life of two years. With a high price, the product will generate cash proceeds of $18,000 but will have a life of only one year. The hurdle rate for this project is 0.05.
Which marketing strategy should be accepted?
A3 8aii
You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $680,000, have a four-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 100 units per year, price per unit will be $19,000, variable cost per unit will be $14,000, and fixed costs will be $150,000 per year. The required return on the project is 15%, and the relevant tax rate is 35%. Ignore the half-year rule for accounting for depreciation.
a. Calculate the following six numbers for this project. Round your answers to two decimal places.

For questions 12 and 13, please use the following information: Ang Electronics, Inc., has developed a new DVDR. If the DVDR is successful, the present value of the payoff (when the product is brought to market) is $28.6 million. If the DVDR fails, the present value of the payoff is $10.2 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 40 percent chance of success. Alternatively, the company can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.42 million to test market the DVDR. Test marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 70 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent.
