Answer:

Pam and Lenny's Ice Cream Shop

a. The effect of the promotion on operating income for the second week of February is an increase by $350.

b. The promotion should occur.  The shop will make additional operating income of $350 within the second week.  And there will be spillover positive effects during the coming weeks after the promotion.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price per cone of ice cream = $1.60

Variable expenses = $0.35

Contribution = $1.25

Fixed costs per month = $2,200

Additional sales from the promotion = 650 cones

Revenue from additional sales = $1,040.00 ($1.60 * 650)

Variable cost                                     227.50 ($0.35 * 650)

Cost of promotions:

Giveaways                                        297.50 ($0.35 * 850)

Advertising costs                              165.00

Total costs                                      $690.00

Additional income                          $350.00

If $ 9 comma 000 is invested in a certain business at the start of the​ year, the investor will receive $ 2 comma 700 at the end
laiz [17]

Answer:

NPV= 1,036.16

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment= $9,000

Cash flows= $2,700 at the end of each of the next four years.

Interest rate= 3%

To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf1= 2,700/1.03= 2,621.36

Cf2= 2,700/1.03^2= 2,545

Cf3= 2,700/1.03^3= 2,470.88

Cf4= 2,700/1.03^4= 2,398.92

Total= 10,036.16

NPV= -9,000 + 10,036.16

NPV= 1,036.16
