Natalia wants to increase her selling price just enough to absorb thisincreased cost. If Natalia wants to earn the same profit in 2021 and 2022 andbelieves she will sell 1,350 units in both years, what does her per unit selling priceneed to be in 2022 to pass the increased space fee cost along to her customers?Assume that the necklaces' selling price was $46 in 2021 and that all costs otherthan the space rental fee are unchanged from 2021 to 2022.

Marsha Jones has bought a used Mercedes horse transporter for her Connecticut estate. It cost $36,000. The object is to save on horse transporter rentals. Marsha had been renting a transporter every other week for $201 per week plus $1.05 per mile. Most of the trips are 90 miles in total. Marsha usually gives the driver a $45 tip. With the new transporter she will only have to pay for diesel fuel and maintenance, at about $.46 per mile. Insurance costs for Marsha’s transporter are $1,250 per year. The transporter will probably be worth $16,000 (in real terms) after eight years, when Marsha’s horse Nike will be ready to retire. Assume a nominal discount rate of 10% and a forecasted inflation rate of 4%. Marsha’s transporter is a personal outlay, not a business or financial investment, so taxes can be ignored. Hint: All numbers given in the questions are in real terms. Assume CF at end of year, for simplicity. Calculate the NPV of the investment. (Do not round intermediate calculations.…

1.Link wants to make $100,000 after tax on his new venture into selling pizza-on-a-stick, using a "push along" cart at the beach. For each pizza-on-a-stick, he incurs raw material costs of $5 and sells them for $10. He pays a salary to his friend Zelda, who operates the cart for $50,000. If he buys the cart himself, he will incur fixed expenses of $20,000. Or, he can rent the cart and pay $1 to the cart supplier each time he sells a pizza stick. What is his point of indifference? That is, at what volume of pizza sticks is he indifferent about renting or buying the cart? (Insert a number ONLY) 2. Like Link, Chrom sells pizza-on-a-stick at the beach.
