Advanced Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a wholesale distributor of prescription drugs to independent retail and hospital-based pharmacies. Management believes that top-notch customer representatives are the key factor in determining whether the company will be successful in the future. Customer representatives serve as the company’s liaison with customers—helping pharmacies monitor their stocks, delivering drugs when customer stocks run low, and providing up-to-date information on drugs from many different companies. Customer representatives must be ultra-reliable and are highly trained. Good customer representatives are hard to come by and are not easily replaced.
Customer representatives routinely record the amount of time they spend serving each pharmacy. This time includes travel time to and from the company’s central warehouse as well as time spent replenishing stocks, dealing with complaints, answering questions about drugs, informing pharmacists of the latest developments and newest products, reviewing bills, explaining procedures, and so on. Some pharmacies require more hand-holding and attention than others and consequently they consume more of the representatives’ time.
Recently, customer representatives have made more frequent complaints that it is impossible to do their jobs without working well beyond normal working hours. This has led to an alarming increase in the number of customer representatives quitting for jobs in other organizations. As a consequence, management is considering dropping some customers to reduce the workload on customer representatives.

Required:
1. Rank the four customers in terms of their profitability.
2. Customer representatives are currently paid $35 per hour plus a commission of 1% of sales revenues. If these four pharmacies are indeed representative of the company’s customers, could the company afford to pay its customer representatives more in order to retain them?

Question 2 [15 marks]
Edwards Industries is a manufacturer of healthcare products. The company is evaluating the feasibility of a new household disinfectant product that uses ultraviolet radiation technology. The project has a lifespan of 10 years and is expected to generate a yearly revenue of $5.2 million and a yearly operating expense of $1.2. The new manufacturing equipment will cost $15 million, and production and sales will require an initial $5 million investment in working capital. The equipment will be fully depreciated using the straight-line method over the life of the project with a salvage value of $2 million (after tax). In addition, the company spent $150,000 in research related to the product last year. Rather than acquiring a new building, the company plans to install the equipment in a building that it owns but currently unoccupied. The building could be sold for $3 million after taxes and relevant fees. The company's tax rate is 30%.
If the expected return from shareholders is 12% per year, what is the project's NPV? Should the project be accepted?
