SIU is a university in the UK catering for international students. There are currently 950 students. Fees were £16,000 for the last year and the president is concerned that adverse changes in the economic and educational environment are threatening the university’s future. The income of the market is expected to decline next year by 2%, and it is also expected that the average fee of competitive institutions will fall from £14,000 to £12,000. 10% of revenue is currently spent on promotion. The president does some research and estimates that the relevant demand elasticities are as follows:

PED = -1.6, YED = 2.2, AED = 1.8, CED = 0.8.

  1. Briefly outline other marketing mix options for achieving the target (50 words).

  1. Enterprise Rental Car needs to buy up to 200 new cars with $5,123,000. The cars will be three types: Smart cars at $24,000, sedans at $27,000, and luxury cars at $32,000. The new owners of the company want to purchase at least as many smart cars as sedans and luxury cars combined. They feel they need to have a minimum of 25 of each possible to rent. If they can earn $40 a day for smart cars, $45 a day for sedans, and $50 a day for luxury cars, how many of each should they buy in order to maximize their daily revenue?

Business is becoming more and more competitive, and organisations have realised that purchasing and Supply Chain Management (SCM) are key factors in satisfying customers. Buyers and supply chain managers can contribute significantly to the organisation's profits. An organisation can spend as much as 50% of its sales revenue on purchasing parts, services, components and raw material. Therefore, efficient, mutually beneficial and constructive relationships with suppliers are very important to the organisation's short-term financial position and long-term competitive power.

1. Differentiate between constructive and competitive negotiation. (10)
2. Discuss the guidelines for maintaining positive supplier and customer relationships. (10)

Imagine you are representing one of the members of the OPEC, and you are motivated by an increase of your revenue from the sale of crude oil. You have to compromise on current decision on possible output decrease as to stimulate the world price of gas. Please consider the historical relation of the reaction of the gas price at the pump to the world price of the crude oil per barrel. Please resort to the NYU STERN case on The Petroleum Market: 1970 – 2000 (via link provided below the assignment), but most of all to the research on the following issues in the summer of 2008 in the US and now, and the political debate on the energy crisis, environmental protection and renewable sources of energy.

(a) The manufacturing firm Rebo is considering a new capital investment project. The project will last for five years. The anticipated sales revenue from the project is $3 million in year 1 and $4.2 million in each of years 2 – 5. The cost of materials and labour is 50% of sales revenue and other expenses are $1 million in each year. The project will require working capital investment equal to 20% of the expected sales revenue for each year. This investment must be in place at the start of each year. Working capital will be recovered at the end of the project’s life. UL20/0419 Page 4 of 8 The project will require $2.5 million to be spent now on new machinery which will have zero value at the end of the project and will be depreciated each year at 20% of the original cost. The tax rate is 25%. Rebo uses a discount rate of 11% to evaluate its capital investment projects.

(i) What is the net income in each year?

(ii) What is the free cash flow in each year and the net present value (NPV)?

(iii)You discover the following additional information: • The project will utilise a building that the firm leases. No other activities take place in it. If this project does not go ahead the firm will terminate the lease in one year’s time if no other use for it has been found. • Part of each year’s cash flows from the project will be used to increase the dividend payment to shareholders. For each of these items, explain briefly whether or not you would incorporate the information into your analysis of the project’s value.

(b) Zuti has a capital investment project that could start immediately. The project will require a machine costing $2.4 million. The total discounted value now of the cash inflows from the project will be either $2.6 million or $1.9 million with equal probability. The risk-free rate is 3%. Instead of starting immediately the project could be delayed until one year from now to gain more market information. Its total discounted cash inflows at that time will be known as either $2.6 million, or $1.9 million, with certainty.

(i) What is the present value of the option to delay?

(ii) The supplier of the machine has offered to deliver it (if required) in one year’s time at a price of only $2 million, if Zuti pays a non-refundable deposit now. What is the maximum the firm should pay as a deposit now? What type of real option does this represent for Zuti? Identify the specific components of the option contract.
