A positive net present value (NPV) has been calculated for a project to launch a new product. An additional calculation is required to identify the sensitivity of the NPV to changes in the forecast total sales volume.
The present value of which of the following would be used in the calculation?

A project requires an initial investment of $160,000 in an asset for which the annual depreciation charge will be $40,000. The forecast profits from the investment are as follows.

Place each of the activities described below against the correct classification of quality costs.
A company makes three products, E, F and G. Total overheads for the year are expected to be $1.2 million, with the following split between cost pools:
Cost driver information has been estimated as follows:
The company plans to make 10,000 units of product E in the year, with an expected direct cost of $0.60 per unit. This annual production of product E is expected to require 20 quality inspections, 28 purchase requisitions, and 400 kilogrammes of materials.

Which of the following correctly defines the expected value of a project?
A large manufacturing company sells a range of products. Details of one of these products are as follows.
Each completed batch is delivered immediately in full to the one customer that purchases this product. The delivery vehicle is currently only 50% full when it makes these deliveries. The customer will accept deliveries of any size.
Managers are considering changing the production batch size to 150 units.
Increased material storage would be needed; this can be rented nearby at a cost of $1,500 per month.
The additional storage facility would enable an increase in the reorder quantity for the materials. As a result a 5% discount would be received on all materials purchased.
Using direct product profitability (DPP), what will be the monthly profit attributable to the product if the production batch size is changed to 150 units?
Give your answer to the nearest whole $.
A company expects to sell 3,600 units of Product A at a selling price of $750 per unit during the forthcoming year. The currently expected variable cost per unit is $860 per unit.
