A firm has analyzed its operating conditions, prices, and cost have developed the following functions: R = 400 – 4q2 (per thousand naira) and Cost = q2 + 10q + 30 (per thousand naira) where q is the number of units produced and sold. If the firm wishes to maximize profit: (a) What quantity should be sold and at what price? (b) What will be the amount of profit? 2. Find the point of maximum value of the revenue function given as P = 400 – 4q. Hence, find the revenue.
A worldwide cosmetic company can upgrade the quality of one of its products by purchasing new equipment at a cost of k240,000. The new equipment would replace old equipment that has a current market value of k80,000. The old equipment originally cost k150,000 three years ago and is been depreciated over it’s 15 year life on a straight line basis to zero salvage value. New equipment has an expected life of 12 years . It’s salvage value is estimated at k30,000. By upgrading the quality of this product, the company would be able to increase sales price. As a result, the operating income before tax will increase by k10,000 per year over its 12 year life. The company’s tax rate is 40% and it’s cost of capital after tax is 15%. Compute the Net present value and the internal rate of return for the investment.
