- HighFlyer Airlines wants to build new airplanes with greatly increased cabin space. This will allow HighFlyer Airlines to give passengers more comfort and sell more tickets at a higher price. However, redesigning the cabin means rethinking many other elements of the airplane as well, like engine and luggage placement, and the most efficient shape of the plane for moving through the air, which requires investment spending. The table below shows the level of R&D spending necessary to achieve different rates of return (due to higher ticket revenue). Private Rate of Return Level of R&D Spending 12% $100 10% $200 8% $300 6% $400 4% $500 If the opportunity cost of financial capital for HighFlyer Airlines is 6%, how much should the firm invest in R&D?
