Giving the following information:
Mettel Products sells 100,000 flash drives annually to industrial distributors who resell the drives to business customers for $40 each. The distributors’ margins are 25%. Mettel Products’ cost of goods sold is $10.00 each. Mettel’s total variable costs (including selling costs) are $15.00 per drive.
Selling price= 40/1.25= $32
A) Gross margin= 32 - 15= 17
%= 53%
B) Mettel is considering increasing its annual advertising spending from $75,000 to $150,000.
Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin
Break-even points= 150,000/17= 8,824 units
C) Break-even points= 75,000/14= 5,357 units

Explanation:
Adjusted Present Value (APV) and Net Present Value (NPV) are tools used in valuation of business operations or business projects. APV differs from NPV as the former uses cost of equity as the discount rate whereas the latter uses the WACC(weighted average cost of capital). Other business valuation methods are Payback period which is used to determine the number of years it takes for a project's future cashflows to fully recover the initial amount invested. Another example is Internal Rate of Return (IRR) which is the rate that determines how attractive a project; that which makes the NPV equal to zero.
