The biggest challenges throughout the planning process is determining start up costs, determining inventory and determining the location of the store. The start up costs are a big challenge due to there being a number of variables such as how much inventory is smart to start off with, how much to pay in utilities (can easily fluctuate), and how much to pay in advertising the store to customers. Determining inventory is also a challenge because orders must be placed to keep up with inventory and determining a schedule for that is based on revenue, but during the planning process revenue can only be projected and not consistently known. Determining the location of the store is also a challenge, it is an extremely important decision that will make or break the success of the store. Calculating how many customers are nearby, as well as type of income (lower-class, middle-class, upper class, etc.) is also challenging.

The growth potential of my business is tremendous. I view after a few months, for there to be a solid foundation for revenue. The first few months may be tough because the public either doesn’t know about the store, or don’t have a trust built with the store yet. Once I am established, I see my store serving the community with well needed convenience products and establishing a

casual customer base. Once I’m established after a few months, I expect revenue to climb and stabilize. After a few years I expect to be financially in a great position. Some profits can be diverted to upgrades for the store, improving customer experience (maybe experiment with new and diverse products). After a few years, I see myself expanding by buying other Circle K franchises to open or try to buy established stores from owners. This would require saving up a lot of the profit but in the long run it is a great investment in my opinion.

Washington County’s Board of Representatives is considering the construction of a longer runway at the county...

Washington County’s Board of Representatives is considering the construction of a longer runway at the county airport. Currently, the airport can handle only private aircraft and small commuter jets. A new, long runway would enable the airport to handle the midsize jets used on many domestic flights. Data pertinent to the board’s decision appear below.

Cost of acquiring additional land for runway $ 79,500
Cost of runway construction 270,000
Cost of extending perimeter fence 19,840
Cost of runway lights 43,000
Annual cost of maintaining new runway 21,500
Annual incremental revenue from landing fees 52,500


In addition to the preceding data, two other facts are relevant to the decision. First, a longer runway will require a new snowplow, which will cost $170,000. The old snowplow could be sold now for $17,000. The new, larger plow will cost $15,000 more in annual operating costs. Second, the County Board of Representatives believes that the proposed long runway, and the major jet service it will bring to the county, will increase economic activity in the community. The board projects that the increased economic activity will result in $76,000 per year in additional tax revenue for the county.

In analyzing the runway proposal, the board has decided to use a 10-year time horizon. The county’s hurdle rate for capital projects is 12 percent.

In analyzing the runway proposal, the board has decided to use a 10-year time horizon. The county’s hurdle rate for capital projects is 12 percent. The County Board of Representatives believes that if the county conducts a promotional effort costing $27,000 per year, the proposed long runway will result in substantially greater economic development than was projected originally. However, the board is uncertain about the actual increase in county tax revenue that will result.

Required:

Suppose the board builds the long runway and conducts the promotional campaign. What would the increase in the county’s annual tax revenue need to be in order for the proposed runway’s internal rate of return to equal the county’s hurdle rate of 12 percent? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

4 . Individual Problems 22-1

Suppose that a paper mill “feeds” a downstream box mill. For the downstream mill, the marginal profitability of producing boxes declines with volume. For example, the first unit of boxes increases earnings by $30, the second by $27, the third by $24, and so on, until the tenth unit increases profit by just $3.

The cost the upstream mill incurs for producing enough paper (one “unit” of paper) to make one unit of boxes is $9.50.

Assume the two mills operate as separate profit centers, and the paper mill sets the price of paper. It follows that the marginal profitability of boxes represents the highest price that the box division would be willing to pay the paper division for boxes.. Furthermore, assume that fixed costs are $0 for the paper mill.

The following table summarizes the quantity, total revenue, and marginal costs from the perspective of the paper mill for selling paper to the box mill at various prices.

In the following table, fill in the marginal revenue, total cost, and total profit for the paper mill when selling paper to the box mill at each given price.

If the paper mill sets the price of paper to sell to the box mill, it will set a price of (_____ ) and sell (______) units of paper to the box mill. Profits will be(_____)

for the paper mill. Companywide  profits will be(______). (Hint: Recall that the prices in the table represent the marginal profitability of each unit of paper, or box, to the box mill.)

Suppose the paper mill is forced to transfer paper to the box mill at marginal cost ($9.50).

In this case, the box mill will demand(_____) units of paper. This leads to companywide profits of (_____).
