...MKTG 390: Individual Assignment 1 Coors Distributorship: Back-of-the-Envelope Break-Even For this assignment, you need to help Mr. Brownlow make the investment decision by using the information in the case and the data from the studies listed below. You may also need to make your own assumptions (e.g., interest rate) in order to carry out the break-even analysis. Your analysis should involve the following steps: 1. First, find out whether Mr. Brownlow will break even in the first year (1990) given all the information he has. If yes, he should go ahead with the distributorship. If not, he should seriously reconsider the investment decision. 2. If you think he will break even, then what is the expected profit for the first year (1990)? 3. Finally, conduct some sensitivity analyses to assess how his attitude towards risk may influence the conclusion. Please follow the guidelines I provided below. Please submit your assignment onto Blackboard before class on Nov 5. Please make sure you provide enough information of your analysis so that your assignment can be evaluated without further explanation. 1. Industry demand (1990): The first step in the break-even analysis is to figure out the industry demand for 1990, using the Per Capita Method or the Tax Paid Method. Try both and see if they would give you similar answers. Per Capita Method: Study B: Entire population for Kent and Sussex for 1990 (112,200 + 116,800) Study A: 27.2 gallons/person...

...Assignment 1: Operations Decision Kimberly D Coello Prof. James Ibe, Ph.D., CAE. ECO 550 Managerial Economics and Globalization 20 July 2012 Assignment Assume you have been hired as a managing consultant by a company to offer some advice that will help it make a decision as to whether it should shut down completely or continue its operations. It currently uses 100 workers to produce 6,000 units of output per month (working 20 days / month). The daily wage (per worker) is $70, and the price of the firm's output is $32.

The IT application will be the main thing that will play a huge part, and seeing if the customers will stay loyal or transfer to the other company. Even though the national chain supports that the two prices will highly expensive, if the regional chain wants to implement small companies like markets or stores, with sales drop the customer loyalty program can easily be abandon. The main key here would be to focus more on the customers rather than the other things they may get into the way. The article shows that discounts can have a huge value for winning customers, because everybody loves saving money. (Butcher, 1998) In today’s industry, every company has some sort of plan or scheme to draw their customers to them. For example, you have companies that will lower prices, offer discounts and even contracts and long term agreements. (Butcher, 1998) The main objective of the program is to offer the customers joy by rewarding them as much as possible to keep their attention directed to the company.

...Corporate Finance & Asset Markets M1 – Finance & Economics Track Solutions to Assignment 5: Section 8 - Interest Rates and Bonds Solutions to Part A: Practice Problems 1. When you are paying out money, you prefer not to pay interest on interest. Thus, you would prefer a low compounding frequency, which is monthly. 2. If the term structure is flat and a 2-year bond with a face value of $1,000 and a 3.5% annual coupon (paid semi-annually) is selling at par, this means that the annual discount rate (compounded semi-annually) is 3.5%, since 4 1, 000 = t=1 1, 000 17.50 + . t (1 + 0.0175) (1 + 0.0175)4 But then it is straightforward to value bonds with any coupon rate and maturity: (a) 10-year bond with a 2% coupon: 20 V = t=1 10 1, 000 + t (1 + 0.0175) (1 + 0.0175)20 1− 1 (1 + 0.0175)20 + 1, 000 (1 + 0.0175)20 = 10 0.0175 = 874. (b) 10-year bond with a 6% coupon: 20 V = t=1 1, 000 30 + t (1 + 0.0175) (1 + 0.175)20 1− 1 (1 + 0.0175)20 + 1, 000 (1 + 0.0175)20 = 30 0.0175 = 1, 209. 3. Expressing the present values bond prices B(0, t), we get A : 92.70 B : 102.10 C : 111.25 of the coupon bonds in terms of the pure discount = 103 B1 = 6 B1 + 106 B2 = 12 B1 + 12 B2 + 112 B3 Solving sequentially, the solution is B1 = 0.900, B2 = 0.912, and B3 = 0.799. 1 4. (a) The discount factors B1 and B2 implicit in the bonds prices should satisfy: 82.0 = 100 B2 92.5 = 6 B1 + 106 B2 102.5 = 12 B1 + 112 B2 Solving for B1 and B2...
