Chapter 17 - 1989 Finances and Recommendations

Movie Recommendations

This year, the movies that we recommend are: Batman; Look Who's Talking; Honey, I Shrunk the Kids; Back to the Future Part II; Ghostbusters II; The Little Mermaid; Field of Dreams; Pet Sematary; Major League; Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure; Lean on Me; and A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child.

The total collected by movies was originally $4.108 billion, and is projected to increase to $5.135 billion. Our fees from our services are $51.35 million.

Video Game Recommendations

The recommended games for this year for NES are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Tetris. For Game Boy, we recommend The Final Fantasy Legend and Tetris. We will also recommend Populous for PC. This year, we will make $100 million from our services to the video game industry.

Our fees from these services were $51.35 million for movies, $100 million for gaming, and music from the previous year was $39.42 million.

The total revenue would be $190.77 million, and the tax rate has been changed to 34% so that we will be charged $64.86 million. The remaining profit is $125.91 million, so Ms. Lee will make over $12.59 million for her fee. This leaves $113.32 million to add to whatever remains of last year's operating budget.

Recommended TV Shows

Roseanne, Cheers, A Different World, The Golden Girls, The Wonder Years, Empty Nest, Unsolved Mysteries, Who's the Boss?, Coach, In the Heat of the Night, Matlock, Growing Pains, Full House, The Simpsons, Night Court, Family Matters, Seinfeld

Music Recommendations

This was a weak year for music albums in 1990, so we can only recommend Madonna- The Immaculate Collection, The Black Crowes- Shake Your Money Maker, Depeche Mode-Violator, and Alice in Chains-Facelift.

The estimated number of units for the remaining best-selling albums for 1990 is 511 million at the average cost of $10 per album, which should give us a share of $51.13 million.

Video Game Recommendations

The recommended games for this year for NES are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Tetris. For Game Boy, we recommend The Final Fantasy Legend and Tetris. We will also recommend Populous for PC. This year, we will make $100 million from our services to the video game industry.
