  1. Bradley Corporation's required rate of return is 14%. The company has an opportunity to be the exclusive distributor of a very popular consumer item. No new equipment would be needed, but the company would have to use one-fourth of the space in a warehouse it owns. The warehouse cost $200,000 new. The warehouse is currently half-empty and there are no other plans to use the empty space. In addition, the company would have to invest $100,000 in working capital to carry inventories and accounts receivable for the new product line. The company would have the distributorship for only 5 years. The distributorship would generate a $17,000 annual net cash inflow. (Ignore income taxes in this problem.)


    What is the net present value of the project? What is the project’s internal rate of return?

Please show all steps.

  1. List and briefly explain
    1. Four costs associated with expected inflation
    2. Suppose that Brazil is in a state of hyperinflation. If the goal of the Brazilian Central Bank is to stabilize the price level, explain carefully what path the money supply should follow. (Assume that money demand depends on the nominal interest rate). Assuming that the Central Bank’s policy is successful, show and briefly explain the path of the price level, the inflation rate, the nominal interest rate, the money supply, and the level of real balances both during and after the hyperinflation.

Some states and cities have or have plans to raise the minimum wages to $15/hour. In July, the House of Representatives passed legislation to raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hour. There also have been many protests (especially in the fast food industry) over the past 2 years about setting a $15 minimum wage. Amazon has raised its minimum wage to $15, Target plans to have a $15 starting wage by 2020, WalMart is working toward $15, and Senator Sanders (Vermont) has been pressuring companies to raise their minimum wages to $15/hour. Discuss and analyze the economic implications about this topic. How does the political aspect of the debate affect the economic analysis?

soft drink manufacturer wishes to know how many soft drinks adults drink each week. They want to construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean and are assuming that the population standard deviation for the number of soft drinks consumed each week is 1. The study found that for a sample of 898 adults the mean number of soft drinks consumed per week is 6.4. Construct the desired confidence interval. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Management Decision
Cultural Backlash in India
As you look at the latest quarterly earnings report of your clothing and accessories company, you congratulate yourself. It was your idea to move manufacturing to India last year, and it was your idea to partner with a local retail chain to get your products to Indian consumers. So even though your U.S. sales fell 5 percent, much in part due to the recession, your company’s profits actually rose 35 percent, thanks to all the money you made in India. Almost every day, you walk through the city, and you see young, affluent Indians wearing your jeans, clutching your purses, donning your sunglasses, and you are unbelievably glad that you decided to come into this dynamic, fast-growing market that really likes Western fashion.
There are many people, however, who aren’t so fond of your styles, and of Western culture in general. Various religious and political conservative groups have recently been protesting the growing influence of Western culture in India, sometimes in quite violent ways. Recently, on Valentine’s Day, a group of men publicly beat young couples who were holding hands or having a romantic dinner. In another city, a group of people attacked women who were at bars and dance clubs. And just the other day, you saw a crowd of people throwing your jeans, purses, and sunglasses into a big bonfire as a statement against Western fashion. Even businesses are getting into the anti-American sentiment; a local beverage company announced that it would take on the popularity of Coke and Pepsi by selling a beverage based on cow urine, which is considered a holy, medicinal drink by Hindus.
When you came up with the idea of expanding into India, you certainly didn’t think that you would find yourself in the middle of a cultural clash. “I’m just here to sell jeans,” you think, “not to tell people how to live.” But clearly, many people view companies like yours as a threat to their culture and heritage.
Questions
1. How would you, as the manager of this company, deal with the risk associated with doing business in countries that feel threatened by American culture?
2. How might your company use an alliance with local companies to adapt to local concerns about American culture?

As a facilities supervisor, you would like to be able to estimate maintenance costs using machine hours as the cost driver. To do this, you perform a linear regression with machine hours as the independent (X) variable, and maintenance costs as the dependent (Y) variable. This results in the following output:
