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.)

In 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. An income statement for last year follows.

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.

The initial cost to get the business running with a September 1st launch date would be $2,000. You estimate that the revenues would approximately offset your costs (e.g. paper, toner, etc.) in the first month of operation so that the monthly profit would be $0. Afterwards, you estimate that profits would increase by $80 each month until the end of the academic year (i.e. $80 profit in October, $160 profit in November, etc. until the end of April). Your annual MARR is 10%, compounded monthly. (a) Calculate the internal rate of return for your investment based on an 8 months study period. Select the appropriate IRR between options 1 to 4 below. (b) Suppose that you now consider another investment opportunity for your printing business services, also with monthly profits, and the internal rate of return of 3%. Is this alternative economically feasible based on IRR?arrow_forward
