Joseph just closed a tough year. His new product idea got a much slower sales start than he hoped, generating significant losses in the first year. He was confident Year 2 would be better. If he anticipates first-quarter sales volume to be 300 units at a selling price of $9.00 per unit, with increasing sales volume of 20% each successive quarter after that, how much revenue would he earn each quarter and in total for the year? (Round number of units to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125 and final answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5,125.25.) revenue $ Quarter 1 $ Quarter 2 $ Quarter 3 $ Quarter 4

You are upgrading to better production equipment for your firm's only product. The new equipment will allow you to make more of your product in the same amount of time. Thus, you forecast that total sales will increase next year by 24% over the current amount of 106,000 units. If your sales price is $19 per unit, what are the incremental revenues next year from the upgrade? The incremental revenues are $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)

A new product will cost $750,000 to design, test prototypes, and set up for production. Net revenue the first year is projected to be $225,000. Marketing is unsure whether future year revenues will (a) increase by $25,000 per year as the product’s advantages become more widely known or (b) decrease by 10% per year due to competition. A third pattern of increasing by $25,000 for one year and then decreasing by 10% per year has been suggested as being more realistic. The firm evaluates projects with a 12% interest rate, and it believes that this product will have a 5-year life. Calculate the present worth and rate of return for each scenario.
Suppose that you expect a ceteris paribus decrease in average incomes of 10% this year compared to last year. How many aircrafts do you estimate that your company will sell this year? How will it impact total revenues?

Poleski Manufacturing, which maintains the same level of inventory at the end of each year, provided the following information about expenses anticipated for next year: The selling price of Poleskis single product is 16. In recent years, profits have fallen and Poleskis management is now considering a number of alternatives. Poleski wants to have a net income next year of 250,000, but expects to sell only 120,000 units unless some changes are made. The president of Poleski has asked you to calculate the companys projected net income (assuming 120,000 units are sold) and the sales needed to achieve the companys net income objective for next year. Also, compute Poleskis contribution margin per unit, contribution margin ratio, and break-even point for next year. The worksheet CVP has been provided to assist you. Note that the data from the problem have already been entered into the Data Section of the worksheet.
Gidget has a new widget to bring to market. If the firm goes directly to market with the product, there is a 60% chance of success. However, the firm can conduct customer segment research, which will take a year and cost $5,000,000. By going through research, the company can better target potential customers and increase the probability of success to 75%. If successful, the widget will bring a present value profit (at the time of initial selling) of $90 million. If unsuccessful, the present value profit is only $15 million. The appropriate discount rate is 10%. Calculate the NPV for conducting customer segment research. (Enter whole numbers, e.g. 5 million should be 5,000,000)

B&B has a new baby powder ready to market. If the firm goes directly to the market with the product, there is only a 55 percent chance of success. However, the firm can conduct customer segment research, which will take a year and cost $1.18 million. By going through research, the company will be able to better target potential customers and will increase the probability of success to 70 percent. If successful, the baby powder will bring a present value profit (at time of initial selling) of $18.8 million. If unsuccessful, the present value payoff is only $5.8 million. The appropriate discount rate is 15 percent. Calculate the NPV for the firm if it goes to market immediately and if it conducts customer segment research. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)
