A new marketing campaign will cost $1 million to produce in year 0. After the campaign is released, it is expected to generate $800,000 in profits in year 1, which will decrease by 50% each year until year 4. Profits from the campaign are shared with a partnering company, who will receive $50,000 each year for 4 years. If the MARR is 15%, what is the NPV of this campaign? (Round to nearest dollar)

Investing $2,000,000 in TQM's Channel Support Systems initiative will at a minimum increase demand for your products 3.0% in this and in all future rounds. (Refer to the TQM Initiative worksheet in the CompXM Decisions menu.) Looking at the Round 0 Inquirer for Andrews, last year's sales were $163,608,638. Assuming similar sales next year, the 3.0% increase in demand will provide $4,908,259 of additional revenue. With the overall contribution margin of 34.2%, after direct costs this revenue will add $1,678,625 to the bottom line. For simplicity, assume that the demand increase and margins will remain at last year's levels. How long will it take to achieve payback on the initial $2,000,000 TQM investment, rounded to the nearest month? A. 10 months B. TQM investment will not have a significant financial impact C. 14 months D. 5 months

If the company's MARR is 8 percent, is this a good investment? The IRR is percent, which is the MARR, so the advertising campaign a good investment. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Suppose we are asked to decide whether a new consumer product should be launched. Based on projected sales and costs, we expect that the cash flows over the five-year life of the project will be $2,000 in the first two years, $4,000 in the next two, and $5,000 in the last year. It will cost about $10,000 to begin production. We use a 10% discount rate to evaluate new products. a. Calculate the NPV of the project. b. Should we take the project?
