A beauty product company is developing a new fragrance named Happy Forever. There is a probability of 0.46 that consumers will love Happy Forever, and in this case, annual sales will be 1.03 million bottles; a probability of 0.36 that consumers will find the smell acceptable and annual sales will be 227,000 bottles; and a probability of 0.18 that consumers will find the smell unpleasant and annual sales will be only 52,000 bottles. The selling price is $37, and the variable cost is $9 per bottle. Fixed production costs will be $1.05 million per year, and depreciation will be $1.17 million. Assume that the marginal tax rate is 27 percent. What are the expected annual incremental after-tax free cash flows from the new fragrance? (Round answer to O decimal places, e.g. 5,275)

A company is trying to predict the long-run market share of a new men's deodorant. Based on initial marketing studies, they believe that 30% of new purchasers in this market will ultimately try this brand, and of these, about 55% will purchase it in the future. Preliminary data also suggest that the brand will attract heavier-than-average buyers, such as those who exercise frequently and participate in sports, and that they will purchase about 15% more than the average buyer. Complete parts a and b. a. Calculate the long-run market share that the company can anticipate under these assumptions. The long-run market share is (Type an integer or a decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) b. Let T = proportion of customers trying the brand, R = proportion of customers who repurchase, and B = buyer index (which is 1.0 for the average buyer). Develop a general model for predicting long-run market share, L. (Simplify your answer.)
Chan’s Spring Roll (CSR), a seller of frozen spring roll, is considering introducing a healthier version of its product that will be low in sugar and gluten-free. The firm expects that sales of the new spring roll will be $20 million per year. While many of these sales will be to new customers, CSR estimates that 50% will come from customers who switch to the new, healthier spring roll instead of buying the original version. Suppose that 25% of the customers who would switch from CSR’s original spring roll to its healthier version will switch to another brand if CSR does not introduce a healthier spring roll. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new spring roll in this case? $15 million $10 million $17.5 million $12.5 million
Howard Weiss, Inc., is considering building a sensitive new radiation scanning device. His managers believe that there is a probability of 0.4 that the ATR Co. will come out with a competitive product. If Weiss adds an assembly line for the product and ATR Co does not follow with a competitive product, Weiss's expected profit is $40,000, if Weiss adds an assembly line and ATR follows suit, Weiss still expects $10,000 profit. If Weiss adds a new plant addition and ATR does not produce a competitive product, Weiss expects a profit of $600,000, if ATR does compete for this market, Weiss expects a loss of $100,000 a) Determine the EMV of each decision. b) Compute the expected value of perfect information.
Maximus Steel plans to introduce one of three new products code-named: Wren, Hawk, and Nightingale. The marketing department indicated that the success of any product depends on the market conditions (Favorable, Neutral, or Unfavorable). The profit the company will earn also depends on the market conditions. The table below shows the probability estimated for each market condition and the profits Maximus Steel will realize within those conditions: Product Code Market Conditions Favorable P = 0.2 Neutral P = 0.7 Unfavorable P = 0.1 Wren $120,000 $70,000 ($30,000) Hawk $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 Nightingale $35,000 $30,000 $30,000 Part 1 Instructions: Compute the expected value for each alternative. What is the best option for the company?
Mme. Giselle's boutique in Cleveland, Ohio is planning to sell a Parisian frock. If the public view it as being the latest style, the frocks will be worth $12,000. However, if the frocks are viewed as passe, they will be worth only $3,000. If the probability that they are stylish is 10%, what is the expected value of the frocks? The expected value of the frocks (EV) is EV $ (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
After considerable research, a winter products line has been developed. However, Silven's president has decided to introduce only one of the new products for this coming winter. If the product is a success, further expansion in future years will be initiated. The product selected (called Chap-Off) is a lip balm that will be sold in a lipstick-type tube. The product will be sold to wholesalers in boxes of 24 tubes for $11 per box. Because of excess capacity, no additional fixed manufacturing overhead costs will be incurred to produce the product. However, a $99,000 charge for fixed manufacturing overhead will be absorbed by the product under the company's absorption costing system. Using the estimated sales and production of 110,000 boxes of Chap-Off, the Accounting Department has developed the following manufacturing cost per box: Direct material Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Total cost $ 5.10 3.40 2.30 $ 10.80 The costs above relate to making both the lip balm and the tube that…
