How would you describe this situation in terms of the NPV analysis upon which the situation will be based. Question 1Answer a. There is a negative externality equal to $425,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis for the gluten-free pizza project. b. There is a positive externality equal to $425,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis for the gluten-free pizza project. c. There is a positive externality equal to $75,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis for the gluten-free pizza project. d. There is a negative externality equal to $75,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis for the gluten-free pizza project.

PLEASE SOLVE IN EXCEL :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 60 percent chance of success. However, the firm can conduct customer segment research, which will take a year and cost $1.21 million. By going through research, the company will be able to better target potential customers and will increase the probability of success to 75 percent. If successful, the baby powder will bring a present value profit (at time of initial selling) of $19.1 million. If unsuccessful, the present value payoff is only $6.1 million. The appropriate discount rate is 14 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.)

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.

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
