ABC company's vice president of marketing proposes a new program to significantly increase product sales by 250,000 units per year throughout the 1998-2004 period. Specifically, it is suggested that the company take the following actions: A. Spend $2.5 million over the period of 1998-2000 as promotional expenditures - for example, spend $1.0 million each in the years 1998, 1999, and $0.5 million in the year 2000. B. Make a one-time investment of $1.4 million in plants and equipment needed at the beginning of 1998 to generate these additional products. No new warehouse capability is needed. This investment is to be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the seven-year period. There will be no salvage values for these plants and equipment in 2005. It is further assumed that the product unit cost is $8.00 in 1998, and it is estimated to increase by 3 percent per year. The product unit price is $20 in 1998, and it is estimated to change as manifested in the following table: Items 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Unit Price $20.00 $20.60 $21.00 $21.15 $21.25 $21.25 $21.00 The SG&A expenditure is estimated at $1.25 million in 1998, and it will increase by 3 percent per year during the six-year period. A corporate tax of 40 percent must be paid for any marginal income. There is an interest charge during this period, and the company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 8 percent. If the company's hurdle rate for this type of investment is 25 percent, and the NPV (Net Present Value) for the proposed marketing initiative is negative at that hurdle rate of 0.25, why would you not recommend the marketing initiative be approved? Explain in depth.

Aggregate demand/supply

Since Brexit, the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU) have been negotiating a new relationship. The success of the UK economy in benefitting from this new relationship depends very significantly on the government of UK instilling confidence in people that this new relationship will not significantly diminish UK access to EU markets, thereby generating positive expectations about the UK's future. Why? Explain using appropriate graphs. Note there is both a domestic and an international dimension to this analysis.

A United Kingdom firm is planning to hedge an import payment of USD 10 million dollars due in 9 months (i.e. the firm will expect to pay the US $10 million in 9 months-time). The spot rate is 1 UK = 1.25 USD. Note: UK = UK pounds. USD = US Dollars. The 9-month forward rate is 1 UK = 1.2575 USD. The nine-month interest rate for borrowing (and lending) in the United Kingdom (UK) is 1.00% p.a. and in the United States (US) is 2.60% p.a. respectively. All interest rates are continuously compounded rates. Required: What is the best way for the company to hedge its future USD payment or cash outflow? Of the two possible alternative options to hedge the USD payment how much better off in UK pounds are you under the best option at time t = 9 months hence? Assume the firm can borrow or lend UK pounds and / or US dollars at the interest rates quoted above and also transact at the quoted spot and forward rates. If necessary state any other assumptions you make.

a. option one .. option two .. b. How much better off in UK pounds are you under the best option at time t = 9 months hence?

Mr. Smith is a resident of the UK. Last year he sold an apartment in Germany. According to the DTC between UK and Germany income derived from immovable property is taxable in the Contracting State in which the property is situated (Article 6). Besides this, Article 13(1) of the same DTC provides that gains arising on the disposal of immovable property are taxable in the Contracting State in which the property is situated. Finally, Article 23 of the tax treaty regarding the exemption method provides as follows:

‘a) Income and property other than that referred to below in point (b) of this paragraph shall be exempt from the UK taxes referred to in Article 2(3)(b), where that income or property may be taxed in Germany under this convention.

b) Notwithstanding the provisions of points (a) and (b) of this paragraph, UK tax on the part of income which is taxable in UK under this convention may be calculated at the rate of tax corresponding to the total amount of taxable income in accordance with UK tax legislation’.

Due to the sale of the apartment, Mr. Smith acknowledged a loss of 500 000 EUR in his income tax return. He stressed that he did not have any income in Germany form which he could deduct the loss. However, in the UK he had capital gains from the sale of shares of 1.000 000 EUR. The UK Tax Agency did not allow him to deduct the losses, which he sustained on the sale of immovable property in Germany from the income charged to tax in the UK.
