We need to place a large order for bulbs for our solar kits. As you know, we import these bulbs from Japan. I have been watching the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen very carefully. The current exchange rate is $1 to 106.94 yen. However, sources tell me that the exchange rate is expected to be $1 to 115 yen very soon. Do you want me to place the order now or wait until the exchange rate changes?

Please advise how you want me to proceed.

Tullius Corporation has received a request for a special order of 8,600 units of product C64 for $45.50 each. The normal selling price of this product is $50.60 each, but the units would need to be modified slightly for the customer. The normal unit product cost of product C64 is computed as follows:
Direct materials $ 16.30
Direct labor 5.60
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.80
Fixed manufacturing overhead 5.70
Unit product cost $ 30.40
Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like some modifications made to product C64 that would increase the variable costs by $5.20 per unit and that would require a one-time investment of $45,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order.
Required: Determine the effect on the company's total net operating income of accepting the special order.

Conducting scenario analysis helps managers see the: potential changes in long-term debt over the course of a proposed project. impact an individual variable has on the outcome of a project. potential range of outcomes from a proposed project. distribution of funds for capital projects under conditions of hard rationing. possible range of market prices for a firm's stock over the life of a project.

What would be the consequences if managers of a firm evaluated a project based on its actual dollar cash flows, but used a real rate to discount the cash flows? Would the project be more likely to be accepted, or more likely to be rejected? What kind of error could be committed? Please provide an example of how a project evaluation was affected by inflation considerations, either from your own experience, or do some online search for examples.

The state of Oregon's wine industry specializes in the production of Pinot Noir wine, a type of red wine. Oregon's Pinot Noir is very similar to wines made in Santa Barbara and the Burgundy region of France. Oregon's Pinot Noir is also known to pair well with lamb, that is, many people choose to drink Pinot Noir while eating lamb.

For many years, states levy a special sales tax on wine often called a "sin tax". The reasoning behind these special sales taxes is that wine consumption can lead to particular social costs such as drunk driving, violence, etc.

However, many medical studies have demonstrated that moderate consumption of red wine can lower the risks for many diseases such as coronary heart disease. Thus, there are social benefits as well.

Suppose that states, in recognition of some of the benefits to wine consumption, decide to decrease the sales tax on Oregon Pinot Noir. What effect will this have on consumer surplus, producer surplus and deadweight loss.
A. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss decreases.
B. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus decreases, the deadweight loss decreases.
C. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss is unchanged.
D. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss increases.
