You are pitching a marketing proposal to a company that sells electronic equipment. For a particular product line, their current sales price is $20 per unit, cost is $9 per unit and they have $20,000 in fixed costs associated with this line. Last year, they sold 8,200 units. You are proposing that the company implement your marketing plan which will cost $3,000 per year. You believe this will increase their sales units by 350 units. Calculate the contribution margin ratio at the projected levels, the projected change in operating income of your proposal and the projected ROI. Additionally, if the company requires a 12% return on its investments, calculate the maximum you could charge for your marketing plan.

Hey, I need some help in Business Analytics. I have no idea what I am doing, here is the problem. The manager of a small firm is considering whether to produce a new product that would require leasing some special equipment at a cost of $20,000 per month. In addition to this leasing cost, a production cost of $10 would be incurred for each unit of the product produced. Each unit sold would generate $20 in revenue. Develop a mathematical expression for the monthly profit that would be generated by this product in terms of the number of units produced and sold per month. Then determine how large this number needs to be each month to make it profitable to produce the product.

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. However, the firm can conduct customer segment research, which will take a year and cost $5,000,000. By going through research, the company can better target potential customers and increase the probability of success to 75%. If successful, the widget will bring a present value profit (at the time of initial selling) of $90 million. If unsuccessful, the present value profit is only $15 million. The appropriate discount rate is 10%. Calculate the NPV for conducting customer segment research. (Enter whole numbers, e.g. 5 million should be 5,000,000)
