RS p.1.c. manufactures domestic food mixers. It is investigating whether or not to accept a three-year contract to make a new model for sale through a supermarket chain. The contract uses skilled labour which cannot be increased above that currently available and RS p.1.c. will receive a fixed price of £42 per mixer for all the mixers it can produce in the three-year period. The following estimates have been made:

Capital investment £50000 payable now, with nil scrap value.

Additional overhead £25000 per annum.

Materials £30 per mixer Labour £6 per hour.

The factory manager knows from experience of similar machines that there will be a learning effect for labour. He estimates that this will take the form:

y = ax^-0.3

where y = average labour hours per unit

a = labour hours for first unit

x = cumulative production

He estimates that the first mixer will take 10 hours to produce and that the fixed amount of labour available will enable 5000 mixers to be produced in the first year. Apart from the capital investment, all cash flows can be assumed to arise at year ends. The company has a cost of capital of 15%. You are required

(a) to calculate the NPV of the proposed contract

(b) to state what other factors need to be considered before a final decision is made.

5. Interest, inflation, and purchasing power Suppose Neha is a cinephile and buys only movie tickets. Neha deposits $2,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 5%. Assume this interest rate is fixed—that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a movie ticket is priced at $20.00. Initially, the purchasing power of Neha's $2,000 deposit is movie tickets. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a movie ticket, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Neha's deposit after one year in the first row of the table for each inflation rate. Finally, enter the value for the real interest rate at each of the given inflation rates. Hint: Round your answers in the first row down to the nearest movie ticket. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 movie tickets, you would round the purchasing power down to 20 movie tickets under the assumption that Neha will not buy seven-tenths of a movie ticket. Annual Inflation Rate 0% 5% 8% Number of Tickets Neha Can Purchase after One Year Real Interest Rate % % % When the rate of inflation is less than the interest rate on Neha's deposit, the purchasing power of her deposit over the course of the year.

AM REALLY IN NEED OF THE NARRATIVE ANALYSIS PART

Question 1: Your first task is to determine whether your firm is in a competitive industry.

Based on the following demand function for the firm's product, what would you answer?

Q = 50,000 – 25*P

Q is the amount produced and P is the price.

.

Submit your Competitive Industry Report and Calculations to the dropbox below. Be sure to show your calculations in Excel and provide a narrative analysis in PowerPoint. Your narrative analysis should summarize the results of your analysis and make recommendations for the benefit of company.

Now that you have examined whether your firm is in a competitive industry, let's take a look at some questions related to price, cost, and profit analysis.

Question 2: At the profit-maximizing level, what is the relationship between marginal cost, marginal revenue, price, and average cost for firms in competitive and oligopolistic industries?

The CFO has provided the following information to you:

fixed costs for the MiniZ are $2.75 million

variable cost per unit is $200

She wants you to analyze the fixed and variable costs, optimal level of production, and profit for the MiniZ component.

Question 3: Find Q, P, average cost, and profit for the MiniZ at the profit-maximizing level. (Again, the demand function for the MiniZ is: Q = 50,000 – 25*P.)

Here's the situation:
Charlize Theron conquered the peaceful land of Rombus as the people in this land actually agreed with the Mirror that Kristen Stewart is prettier than Charlize. You are now the economic advisor for Charlize the Supreme Overlord of Rombus. All people of Rombus really really love eating chicken nuggets and the demand of chicken nuggets is highly inelastic. The supply of chicken nuggets is fairly elastic. Charlize hates chicken nuggets as they generally look like Kristen. The general public is angry about being conquered and Charlize wants to institute a policy to stop chicken nugget sales without angering the people. Charlize wants to implement either one of two grand ideas. Her first idea is to place a large tax on the sales of chicken nuggets to provide a disincentive for producers to sell chicken nuggets. Her second idea is to place a very low price ceiling on chicken nuggets. This price ceiling would force chicken nugget prices to be far lower than the current market clearing price for chicken nuggets. She believes implementing either policy will force chicken nugget producers out of industry and shift public anger regarding the reduction of chicken nuggets onto the producers and not her.

Please help me answer these questions!!:

(1) What is the initial incidence of the tax?

(2) Burden of the tax?

(3) The effect of a price ceiling on the market of chicken nuggets? and,

(4) whether there will be a shortage or surplus?

(5) The welfare impact of implementing these policies?

I APPRECIATE IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME!!
