This question refers to the spreadsheet that we used in our lectures to analyze a New Product Venture. This spreadsheet is titled MODULE 4 – NEW PRODUCT VENTURE – BASE CASE.xls Re-set everything in the spreadsheet. In particular, make sure that the tax rate is 40%, the initial sales volume is 2000, and the R&D costs are $20,000 in years 1 and 2. Check that everything is correctly reset by making sure the NPV = $26,624 and the IRR = 11.5%. Suppose we offer to let customers pay later in the hope that it stimulates more sales. Specifically, suppose customers only pay 80% of the purchase price in the year of the sale (and 20 percent the next year), but that this increases Sales volume per year to 2300 units. What is new Net Present Value of the proposed new product venture?

The spreadsheet below models the costs and potential revenues of manufacturing speakers, assuming that the full order is sold. In the spreadsheet, four different sets of cells have been designated as A, B, C, and D. Assume there is an expedited manufacturing option that results in a 50% reduction in time for customers to receive their goods. However, that expedited service increases the cost of the order by 25%. Which designated set of cells is the logical place to insert that potential 25% cost increase as a variable?

Assume that you have a company that assembles final products from a large variety of components that are supplied by factories located in various parts of the world. In the past you have experienced disruptions in the flow of your supply of components as the result of bad weather, such as a strong El Niño phenomenon, as well as other uncontrollable events. You have back-up suppliers, but each have different capacities and delivery schedules. So you created a model that includes sets of assumptions about changes in suppliers and delivery times in the event of unusual disruptive events. The Excel tool specifically designed for your use in this case is:
