Net revenue from the new line of pizzas is expected to total $500,000 per year, but 15% of this net revenue is forecast to consist of people switching from the regular pizzas to the gluten-free pizzas. How would you describe this situation in terms of the NPV analysis upon which the situation will be based. Question 1Answer a. There is a negative externality equal to $425,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis for the gluten-free pizza project. b.

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. When those drones' life is over, they would again be sold and, again, brand-new ones would be purchased - all for the same prices as for the initial drones, and so on, over and over.

- B&B has a new baby powder ready to market. If the firm goes directly to the market with the product, there is only a 55 percent chance of success. However, the firm can conduct customer segment research, which will take a year and cost $1.18 million. By going through research, the company will be able to better target potential customers and will increase the probability of success to 70 percent. If successful, the baby powder will bring a present value profit (at time of initial selling) of $18.8 million. If unsuccessful, the present value payoff is only $5.8 million. The appropriate discount rate is 15 percent. Calculate the NPV for the firm if it goes to market immediately and if it conducts customer segment research.
