If the Rhine Company ignores the possibility that other firms may enter its market, it should set a price of $10,000 for its product, which is a power tool. But if it does so, other firms will begin to enter the market. During the next two years it will earn $4 million per year, but in the following two years it will earn $1 million per year. On the other hand, if it sets a price of $7,000, it will earn $2.5 million in each of the next four years because no entrants will appear. Try various discount (interest) rates and draw a conclusion about the timing of profits

But if it does so, other firms will begin to enter the market. During the next two years it will earn $4 million per year, but in the following two years it will earn $1 million per year. On the other hand, if it sets a price of $7,000, it will earn $2.5 million in each of the next four years because no entrants will appear. If the interest rate is 8 percent, should the Rhine Company set a price of $7,000 or $10,000? a. NPV $10.0M for $7,000 price b. NPV $10.0M for $10,000 price c. NPV $7.3M for $7,000 price d. NPV $8.7M for $10,000 priceA corporation is trying to decide whether to buy the patent for a productdesigned by another company. The decision to buy will require an investment of $8 million, and the demand for the product is not known. If demand is light, the company expects a return of $1.3 million each year for three years. If the demand is moderate, the return will be $2.5 million each year for four years, and high demand will mean a return of $4 million each year for four years. It is estimated that the probability of high demand is 0.4 and the probability of a light demand is 0.2. The firm's interest rate (risk-free) is 12%. Calculate the expected present worth of the investment. On this basis, should the company make the investment? (All figures represent after-tax values.)A bank is considering two alternatives for handling its service calls in the next decade ( treat this as one period). The projected number of service calls is 10,000,000. If the bank sets up its own service call center in the U.S., the fixed cost is estimated to be $2,700,000, and the variable cost is calculated to be 32 cents per call. If the call service is outsourced to a foreign company, the fixed cost would be $240,000, and the unit charge would be 57 cents per call. (a)What is the break-even number of service calls? (b)Would the bank set up its own service call center or outsource call handlings? (Enter 1 for Produce or enter O for Outsource) (C)What would be the dollar amount that the bank can save by choosing the better option? (Cost difference between the two options)
- Expando, Inc. is considering the possibility of building an additional factory that would produce a new addition to its product line. The company is currently considering two options. The first is a small facility that it could build at a cost of $7 million. If demand for new products is low, the company expects to receive $11 million in discounted revenues (present value of future revenues) with the small facility. On the other hand, if demand is high, it expects $14 million in discounted revenues using the small facility. The second option is to build a large factory at a cost of $12 million. Were demand to be low, the company would expect $13 million in discounted revenues with the large plant. If demand is high, the company estimates that the discounted revenues would be $17 million. In either case, the probability of demand being high is 0.50, and the probability of it being low is 0.50. Not constructing a new factory would result in no additional revenue being generated because…Expando, Inc. is considering the possibility of building an additional factory that would produce a new addition to its product line.

The segment margin of the new product would be $200,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 20,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
- A firm must decide whether to construct a small, medium, or large stamping plant. A consultant’s report indicates a 0.20 probability that demand will be low and a 0.80 probability that demand will be high. If the firms builds a small facility and demand turns out to be low, the net present value will be $42 million. If demand turns out to be high, the firm can either subcontract and realize the net present value of $42 million or expand greatly for a net present value of $48 million. The firm could build a medium size facility as a hedge: if demand turns out to be low, its net present value is estimated at $22 million; if demand turns out to be high, the firm could do nothing and realize a net present value of $46 million, or it could expand and realize a net present value of $50 million. If the firm builds a large facility and demand is low, the net present value will be -$20 million, whereas high demand will result in a net present value of $72 million. Analyze and prepare a decision…Lewin Corp. has the capacity to produce 100,000 units of product per year.
