Answer:

The company should not develop the new product as The operation cash flow is too low as compared to the OCF that results in zero NPV .

Explanation:

In order to know if the company should develop the new product we would have to make the following calculations:

The No, of units the company expects to sell = Market share*Market size = 4.5%*120,000 = 5,400

Total contribution = No. of units sold*contribution margin per unit = 5400*87.20 = $470,880

Fixed costs = $418,000

Profit before tax = Total contribution - Fixed costs = $470,880 - $418,000 = $52,000

Net profit = (1-Tax rate)*Profit before tax = (1-34%)*$52,000 = $34,320

Since there are no depreciation costs(assumed), net profit is the operating cash flow.

Therefore, the company should not develop the new product as The operation cash flow is too low as compared to the OCF that results in zero NPV .

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The correct option here is D) $450,000.

Explanation:

The differential revenue from the acceptance offer is the additional amount of revenue that will be generated without affecting the revenue generated from the domestic sales in the normal course of operations.

The differential revenue from acceptance of offer can be calculated as -

= Selling price per unit per offer x number of units per offer

= $15 x 30,000

= $450,000

Therefore $450,000 is the differential revenue from the acceptance of offer.

A consumer has two basic choices: rent a DVD movie for $4.00 and spend 2 hours watching it, or spend $13 for a miniature golf ga
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Play miniature golf instead of renting the movie.

Explanation: Marginal utility is the added satisfaction derived from spending an extra unit of money.

Now we can see that the consumer values time at $12 per hour, and they'll spend a total of $24 on watching the DVD because this will take 2 hours, the consumer will also spend just $12 on miniature golf because this takes just one hour.

Now factoring the costs of the DVD and the miniature golf into the equation, we have:

Total cost of renting and watching the DVD:

$4 + $24 = $28

Total cost of playing miniature golf:

$13 + $12 = $25

We can see that the consumer will spend less in playing miniature, while getting the same marginal utility with the other option.
