Investing $2,000,000 in tqm's channel support systems initiative will at a minimum increase demand for your products 3.0% in this and in all future rounds. (refer to the tqm initiative worksheet in the compxm decisions menu.) looking at the round 0 inquirer for andrews, last year's sales were $163,508,343. Assuming similar sales next year, the 3.0% increase in demand will provide $4,905,250 of additional revenue. With the overall contribution margin of 34.1%, after direct costs this revenue will add $1,672,690 to the bottom line. For simplicity, assume that the demand increase and margins will remain at last year's levels. How long will it take to achieve payback on the initial $2,000,000 tqm investment, rounded to the nearest month?

Total amount of investment = $2,000,000 in the channel support system of TQM.
Minimum increase in demand is 3%.
Amount of Sale in last year = $163,508,343. If we assume similar sales in next year, 3.0% increase in demand would provide $4,905,250 additionally as revenue.
The margin for overall contribution = 34.1%.
After adding direct costs the revenue would add $1,672,690 to bottom line.
We also assume that demand increase, margins would remain at the level of last year.
Hence, It would take 14 months to achieve payback on initial $2,000,000 TQM investment.
