Chapter 8, Problem 4P
Hyperion, Inc. currently sells its latest high-speed color printer, the Hyper 500, for $350. It plans to lower the price to $300 next year. Its cost of goods sold for the Hyper 500 is $200 per unit, and this year's sales are expected to be 20,000 units.
- a. Suppose that if Hyperion drops the price to $300 immediately, it can increase this year's sales by 25% to 25,000 units. What would be the Incremental Impact on this year's EBIT of such a price drop?
- b. Suppose that for each printer sold, Hyperion expects additional sales of $75 per year on ink cartridges for the next three years, and Hyperion has a gross profit margin of 70% on Ink cartridges. What is the incremental Impact on EBIT for the next three years of a price drop this year?

quick computing currently sells 7 million computer chips each year at a price of $12 per chip. It is about to introduce a new chip, and it forecasts annual sales of 22 million of these improved chips at a price of $15 each. However, demand for the old chip will decrease, and sales of the old chip are expected to fall to 1 million per year. The old chips cost $6 each to manufacture, and the new ones will cost $10 each. What is the proper cash flow to use to evaluate the present value of the introduction of the new chip?
APQ Company currently sells a piece of equipment for $150 per unit. It plans on lowering the price of the unit to $119 per unit. The cost of goods for each unit is consistent each year, at $52 per unit. The company expects to sell 100,000 units in the current year. Suppose that if APQ drops the price on the equipment immediately, it can increase sales over the next year by 30% to 130,000 units. Will this price decrease have a positive or negative impact on the company's EBIT? What will be the dollar value of the incremental impact of this price drop on the firm's EBIT? Will this have a positive or negative impact on the EBIT for the company? What will the dollar value of the incremental impact of the price drop be for the company? (Enter a negative for a loss, positive for a gain; round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

- Quick Computing currently sells 11 million computer chips each year at a price of $31 per chip. It is about to introduce a new chip, and it forecasts annual sales of 21 million of these improved chips at a price of $39 each. However, demand for the old chip will decrease, and sales of the old chip are expected to fall to 1 million per year. The old chips cost $16 each to manufacture, and the new ones will cost $10 each. What is the proper cash flow to use to evaluate the present value of the introduction of the new chip? cash flow = _____ milionarrow_forwardMikes Bike Co. currently sells 11 million bike tires each year at a price of $17 per tire. It is about to introduce a new tire, and it forecasts annual sales of 17 million of these improved tires at a price of $23 each. However, demand for the old tire will decrease, and sales of the old tire are expected to fall to 4 million per year (note, this says "fall TO 4 million per year," not "fall BY."). The old tire costs $6 each to manufacture, and the new ones will cost $9 each. What is the proper cash flow to use to evaluate the present value of the introduction of the new tire? (Hint: Realized cash inflows from new tire sales minus unrealized cash inflows from old tire sales.)arrow_forwardStraight-Line is a company that does land surveys and engineering consulting.

For this project, $116,000 would need to be spent right away to buy the required fleet of drones. The drones will be losing their economic value in equal amount each year, fully over their 6-year economic lives. Once the drones economic life is over, they would all be sold for $8,700 selling price to a new owner, and Amazon would then immediately purchase the same but brand-new drones for the same price as what it paid for the initial fleet of drones.

The company would need nine SALs, and each SAL costs $3,250 and requires $300 of maintenance each year. At the end of the computer’s eight-year life, each one could be sold for $195. Alternatively, the company could buy seven HALs. Each HAL costs $3,600 and requires $355 of maintenance every year. Each HAL lasts for six years and has a resale value of $140 at the end of its economic life. The company will continue to purchase the model that it chooses today into perpetuity, and the tax rate is 25 percent. Assume that the maintenance costs occur at year-end. Depreciation is straight-line to zero. What is the EAC of each model if the appropriate discount rate is 12 percent? (Your answers should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign.
