You work for a pharmaceutical company that has developed a new drug. The patent on the drug will last 1717 years. You expect tha
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: The present value of the new drug is $19.33 million

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Expected Revenues from the drug in year 1(P)   $2 million

Growth Rate (g)                                                        2% p.a.

No. of years  (n)                                                      17 years  

Discount rate (r)                                                        9% p.a.

Since the revenues are expected to grow at a constant rate of 2% p.a, we can treat this series of cash flows as a <u>growing annuity. </u>

We calculate the Present Value of a growing annuity with the following formula:

PV = \frac{P}{r-g}*\left [ 1- \left (\frac{1+g}{1+r}\right)^{n}\right]

Substituting the values we get,

PV = \frac{2}{0.09-0.02}*\left [ 1- \left (\frac{1+0.02}{1+0.09}\right)^{17}\right]

PV = \frac{2}{0.07}*\left [1- 0.323558233\right]

PV = 28.57142857 * 0.676441767

PV = 19.32690763

Suppose the Shelly Group has identified two possible demand levels for copies per​ month:              Copies ​(per month) Proba
vazorg [7]

Answer:

expected cost = $2800 per month

Explanation:

given data

Copies ​(per month)  = 4,000

probability = 40%

copies (per month) = 9,000

probability = 60%

lease new copier = $1,050

variable cost = $0.25

to find out

What is the expected cost

solution

we know that expected cost is here

expected cost = fixed cost + variable cost     .................1

and here demand of copies per month is express as

= ( 40 % of 4000 ) + ( 60% of 9000 )

= 1600 + 5400 = 7000

so from equation 1

expected cost = fixed cost + variable cost

expected cost = 1050 + 0.25 × 7000

expected cost = 1050 + 1750

expected cost = $2800 per month

A bank account has an initial balance of $450. The account holder deposits $125 every week. How many weeks (excluding any intere
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
It will take the account holder 15 weeks to come up with a principal balance of $2325.

How?

Principal Balance - Initial Balance: $2325 - $450 = $1875

The account holder needs $1875 more in order to come up with the total principal balance of $2325.

$1875 / Weekly Deposits: $1875 / $125 = 15 Weeks

(CO 9) The Wiscow Manufacturing Company recorded overhead costs of $14,182 at an activity level of 4,200 machine hours and $8,74
ioda

Answer:

2.86 Q + 2,170 = overhead cost

Explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}High&4,200&14,182\\Low&2,300&8,748\\Diference&1,900&5,434\\\end{array}\right]

We subtract one activity level from another, the result is telling us that 1,900 units generate 5,434 additional cost

That is variable cost we divide and get the unit variable cost

cost 5434 / Unis 1900 =  variable cost 2.86

Next we calcualte the fixed cost on any of both

Total Cost 14182

  Variable -12012 (4,200 x 2.86)

Fixed Cost   2170

Total Cost 8748

Variable    6578 ( 2,300 x 2.86)

Fixed Cost 2170

the cost equation would be:

2.86 Q + 2,170 = overhead cost
