Combined net income ………………………………………………………………….$ 48,600
Less Dept. Z’s lost sales………………………………….…….…….…….…….….(175,000)
ANALYSIS
Department Z’s avoidable expenses of $181,960 are $6,960 greater than its
revenues of $175,000. This means the company’s annual net income would
be $6,960 higher from eliminating Department Z. This analysis suggests
management should probably go ahead with the elimination of the
department as planned.

1. The internal rate of return (given here as 10%) is the rate which yields a
net present value of zero for an investment. The annuity factor for 10
periods and a discount rate of 10% is 6.1446. This means we can solve
2. Answer depends on the information obtained.
Comparative Analysis — BTN 25-2
1. Answer depends on the newspaper selected and its price for advertising
2. If we assume that the average product of Apple and Google sells for
around $400, then the contribution margin per product is about $80

discount rate is approximately $32. This is computed as $100 x 0.322.
2. We need to be concerned about any project with expected long-term
cash inflows. This is especially the case if the larger cash inflows are
