Johnson and Gomez, Inc. is a small firm involved in the production and sale of electronic business products. The company is well known for its attention to quality and innovation.

During the past 15 months, a new product has been under development that allows users improved access to e-mail and video images. Johnson and Gomez code named the product the Wireless Wizard and has been quietly designing two models: Basic and Enhanced. Development costs have amounted to $183,000 and $264,000, respectively. The total market demand for each model is expected to be 41,000 units, and management anticipates being able to obtain the following market shares: Basic, 20 percent; Enhanced, 15 percent. Forecasted data follow.

Basic Enhanced
Projected Selling Price $350.00 $450.00
Per-unit productions costs:
Direct material 43.00 69.00
Direct labor 23.00 31.00
Variable overhead 37.00 49.00
Marketing and advertising (fixed but avoidable) 196,000 305,000
Sales commissions* 15% 10%
*Computed on the basis of sales dollars.

Since the start of development work on the Wireless Wizard, advances in technology have altered the market somewhat, and management now believes that the company can introduce only one of the two models. Consultants confirmed this fact not too long ago, with Johnson and Gomez paying $35,000 for an in-depth market study. Sales salaries (excluding commission) will be $88,000 no matter which product is sold. The marketing and advertising costs indicated for each product are incurred only if that product is sold. Other fixed overhead is expected to be the same, regardless of which product is introduced.

Compute the unit contribution margin for both models.

If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. there are two approaches to use to account for flotation costs. the first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. the second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows: . the difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment. quantitative problem: barton industries expects next year's annual dividend, d1, to be $1.90 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.3%. the firm's current common stock price, p0, is $22.00. if it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 6% flotation cost, f. assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. what is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retaine
