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 $33.5 million. If the DVDR fails, the present value of the payoff is $11.5 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 50 percent chance of success. Alternatively, Ang can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.25 million to test market the DVDR. Test marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 80 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent. Calculate the NPV of going directly to market and the NPV of test marketing before going to market.(Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount. (e.g., 32))

Answer:

The NPV of going directly to market and the NPV of test marketing before going to market is $22.5 million and  $24.97 million respectively

Explanation:

The computation of the NPV of going directly to market is shown below:

=  Present value of the payoff i.e market × success percentage + Present value of the payoff × failure percentage

= $33.5 million × 50% + $11.5 million × 50%

= $16.75 million + $5.75  billion

= $22.5 million

And, The computation of the NPV of going directly to market is shown below:

=  (Present value of the payoff i.e market × success percentage + Present value of the payoff × failure percentage) ÷ ( 1 + discount rate) - spending amount

= ($33.5 million × 80% + $11.5 million × 20%) ÷ ( 1 + 0.11) - $1.25 million

= ($26.80 million + $2.30  million) ÷ (1.11) -  $1.25 million

= ($29.10 million) ÷ (1.11) -  $1.25 million

= $24.97 million

Suppose that, in an attempt to raise more revenue, Anywhere State University increases its tuition. Will this necessarily result
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

1. That will not necessarily result in more revenue because it depends on the price elasticity of demand for the schools tuition fees

Explanation:

Suppose that, in an attempt to raise more revenue, Anywhere State University increases its tuition.

1. That will not necessarily result in more revenue because it depends on the price elasticity of demand for the schools tuition fees

2. Under the conditions that price is in-elastic, revenue will rise,

Under the conditions that price is elastic, revenue will fall,

Depending on the mix of reaction, if there is a 50% elasticity and 50% in-elasticity, revenue may remain the same.

3. Explain this process, focusing on the relationship between the increased revenue from students enrolling at ASU despite the higher tuition

<em>This would mean that schooling at ASU has an inelastic demand as earlier stated.</em>

4. Explain the process of  lost revenue from possible lower enrollment.

<em>This would mean that schooling at ASU has an elastic demand as earlier stated.</em>

5. If the true price elasticity were -1.1, what would you suggest the university do to expand revenue?

<em>Above unitary elasticity implies that the demand for the school is very elastic i.e. revenue will fall with increase in tuition fees</em>

<em />

6. If I were the president of ASU, I would tackle this problem <em>based on what I have learned about price elasticity by reducing tuition fees a little to increase revenue much more since the price elasticity is above 1.</em>

Buyers rush to purchase stocks in California vineyards following a forecast of a 30 percent decline in this year's grape harvest
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The demand curve for wine shifts to the right

Explanation:

As per the forecast, there should be a decline in grape harvest. This induces the buyers to purchase more quantity of grapes in an anticipation of decline in future harvest which would eventually make grapes costlier than now.

Production of wine depends upon the availability of inputs. Grape being one of the necessary inputs. This means if in future, price of grapes rise, the production of wine would be costlier, which would raise the price of wine.

As a consequence of such an announcement, the wine market would experience an immediate increase in demand for wine which would shift the demand curve to the right.

When managers use a management information system, no management action is needed if?
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Management information systems (MIS) are very useful tools that managers can use to obtain information from internal and external sources. The advantage of using management information systems is that they can convert a lot of data into useful information and us it in decision making processes.

But MIS are just one more tool that managers can use, it doesn't replace managers and it doesn't make decisions by itself, its main purpose is to provide useful information that managers can use.

An important goal of a responsibility accounting framework is to help ensure which of the following?
MariettaO [177]
<h2>segment and company financial goals are congruent.</h2>

Explanation:

I think the options are missed and hence given below for your reference:

a) decision-making is made by the top executives.

b) investments made by each segment are minimized.

c) identification of operating segments that should be closed.

d) segment and company financial goals are congruent.

Let us understand the meaning:

Congruent: It means two or more things coincides when superimposed.

Financial goals: The target which needs to be achieved in the current financial year.

Segments: Segment speaks about the location, product or service provided by the company.

Financial goals are necessary so that it would be easy to organize and work towards the specific goal.

For the business goal to be achieved, every organization should frame financial targets or goals.

So the important goal is to achieve segment and company financial goals and they become congruent when achieved.

Presented below is information related to equipment owned by Bramble Company at December 31, 2020. Cost $10,260,000 Accumulated
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry to record the impairment of the loss is shown below:

Loss on impairment Dr $3,670,800  

         To Accumulated depreciation - Equipment $3,670,800

(Being the loss on impairment is recorded)

For recording this we debited the loss on impairment as it increased the losses and credited the accumulated depreciation as it increased the balance of accumulated depreciation

Working note:

Cost $10,260,000

Less: Accumulated depreciation -$1,140,000  

Carrying Amount $9,120,000  

Less Fair value -$5,472,000  

Plus: Cost of disposal $22,800  

Loss on impairment $3,670,800
