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.)

Triad Children's Center (TCC), a non-profit organization, uses relevant cost analysis to determine whether new services are desirable. TCC is looking at adding a new educational program for grade school children who are having difficulty with their reading and math skills. The following relevant costs are expected if the program is accepted:
Costs (per year)
Program Director salary
$
39,000
Part-time Assistants
$
28,000
Variable cost per child

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%.

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.…arrow_forwardSocial Media, Inc.
