Winnebagel Corp. currently sells 32,000 motor homes per year at $70,000 each, and 13,000 luxury motor coaches per year at $107,000 each. The company wants to introduce a new portable camper to fill out its product line; it hopes to sell 27,000 of these campers per year at $15,000 each. An independent consultant has determined that if Winnebagel introduces the new campers, it should boost the sales of its existing motor homes by 2,300 units per year and reduce the sales of its motor coaches by 1,000 units per year. What is the amount to use as the annual sales figure when evaluating this project?

Elise Carpets Inc. has just acquired a new backing division that produces a rubber backing, which it sells for $3.30 per square yard. Sales are about 1,200,000 square yards per year. Since the Backing Division has a capacity of 2,000,000 square yards per year, top management is thinking that it might be wise for the company's Tufting Division to start purchasing from the newly acquired Backing Divi- sion. The Tufting Division now purchases 600,000 square yards per year from an outside supplier at a price of $3.00 per square yard. The current price is lower than the competitive $3.30 price as a result of the large quantity discounts. The Backing Division's cost per square yard follows. Direct materials.. Direct labor.... Variable overhead.. Fixed overhead (1,200,000 level) Total cost.... $1.80 0.45 0.37 0.15 $2.77 Required a.

Pappy’s Potato has come up with a new product, the Potato Pet (they are freeze-dried to last longer). Pappy’s paid $175,000 for a marketing survey to determine the viability of the product. It is felt that Potato Pet will generate sales of $890,000 per year. The fixed costs associated with this will be $226,000 per year, and variable costs will amount to 22 percent of sales. The equipment necessary for production of the Potato Pet will cost $960,000 and will be depreciated in a straight-line manner for the four years of the product life (as with all fads, it is felt the sales will end quickly). This is the only initial cost for the production. Pappy's has a tax rate of 21 percent and a required return of 15 percent. Calculate the payback period for this project. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Calculate the NPV for this project.
