The Rosy company, is planning to start an egg packing factory in the country of Bevery. The initial investment for the egg packing factory is $5Million and it will generate net revenues for every year for the next 10 years starting as $1M in the first year, and increasing by $0.5Million every year (e.g, 1M, 1.5M, 2M, 2.5M...). Currently £1 is equal to $20. However, the $ is being devalued (losing value) against the £ by 12% every year (so next year £1 will be $22.4 ). If Rosy company has a MARR of 30% in Bevery, what is the PW of this egg packing factory in £?
Assume that you are employed by the government of Tanzania in 1964, a new nation recently independent from Britain. The Tanzanian parliament has decided that it will spend 10 million shillings on schools, roads, and healthcare for the year. You estimate that the net taxes for the year are eight million shillings. The difference will be financed by selling 10-year government bonds at 12% interest per year. The interest on outstanding bonds must be added to government expenditure each year. Assume that additional taxes are added to finance this increase in government expenditure so the gap between government spending is always two million. If the school, road, and healthcare budget are unchanged, compute the value of the accumulated debt in 10 years.
Now suppose you invest in both a factory and the research for the production of Green jetpacks. Look at the factory and research as a total investment. Calculate the net present value (NPV) before tax on the investment based on the following information: The investment cost is paid in full in quarter 0, and the cost of the factory is 100000 while the cost of the research is also 100000. The factory has a lifetime of 20 quarters (5 years) and the value of the factory at the end of quarter 20 is 0 Only green jetpacks should be produced at the factory throughout its lifetime. There is no investment in research to streamline production or material consumption. Suppose the quarterly demand in the market is constant and given at P = 338 - 0.018 * Q, where P is price and Q is the number of jetpacks in demand. There are 5 competitors in the market (including you), and all sell the same number of jetpacks each quarter at the price of 248 each. You produce as much as you sell. The costs…

Bob lives in Toronto and runs a business that sells guitars. In an average year, he receives $701,000 from selling guitars. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $420,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totalling $247,000. He owns his show room; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $9,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this show room does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Bob does not operate this guitar business, he can work as a financial advisor, receive an annual salary of $32,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his show room at the $9,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this guitar business.

4. A company introduced a new product to the market in the first month of the year which was supported by the corresponding advertising campaign and showed steady growth in the following months. The initial price was set at a level of 30% above average cost (MK). The company's goal is to cover its overheads and achieve maximization in profits and that's why I'm wondering if the price of €7,5 is optimal. With the continuous growth of sales, the company conducted market research and found that the elasticity of demand towards the price is -3. The formula for calculating the demand elasticity to the price is given: ε T = [-MK/(T-MK)] - 1 Sales (tons) and cost (mm. (EUR) For the next 3 months they are estimated as follows: JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH Sales (volume) 2.250 2.500 2.750 Raw materials €1.400 €1.550 €1.700 Work €3.350 €4.050 €4.950 Other industrial costs €3.000 €3.075 €3.150 Administrative expenses €2.150 €2.150…
