Answer:

However, the economy has been characterised by a structural shift in output over the past four decades.

Since the early 1990s, economic growth has been driven mainly by the tertiary sector – which includes wholesale and retail trade, tourism and communications. Now South Africa is moving towards becoming a knowledge-based economy, with a greater focus on technology, e-commerce and financial and other services.

Among the key sectors that contribute to the gross domestic product and keep the economic engine running are manufacturing, retail, financial services, communications, mining, agriculture and tourism.

Explanation:

South Africa’s economy has traditionally been in the primary sectors – the result of a wealth of mineral resources and favourable agricultural conditions.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

future worth:

project A 11,615.26

project B 12,139.18‬

It should choose project B as their future value is greater

IRR of project A: 13.54%

We should remember that the IRR is the rate at which the net value is zero thus, equals the inflow with the cash outlay

It is calculate with excel or financial calculator due to the complex of the formula.

Explanation:

Project A

We calculate the future value of the cash flow per year and cost as we are asked for future value. The salvage value is already at the end of the project life so we don't adjust it.

Revenues future value

$C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\$

C 15,000

time 8

rate 0.12

$15000 \times \frac{(1+0.12)^{8} -1}{0.12} = FV\\$

FV $184,495.3970

Expenses future value

$C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\$

C 3,000

time 10

rate 0.12

$3000 \times \frac{(1+0.12)^{10} -1}{0.12} = FV\\$

FV $52,646.2052

Cost future value

$Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount$

Principal 40,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.12000

$40000 \: (1+ 0.12)^{10} = Amount$

Amount 124,233.93

Net future worth:

-124,233.93 cost - 52,646.21 expenses + 184,495.40 revenues + 4,000 salvage value

future worth 11,615.26

Project B

cost:

$Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount$

Principal 60,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.12000

$60000 \: (1+ 0.12)^{10} = Amount$

Amount 186,350.89

expenses 52,646.21 (same as previous)

revenues

$C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} }{rate} = FV\\$

C 24,000

time 7

rate 0.12

$24000 \times \frac{(1+0.12)^{7} -1}{0.12} = FV\\$

FV $242,136.2815

TOTAL

242,136.28 + 9,000 - 52,646.21 - 186,350.89 = 12,139.18‬

Internal rate of return of project A

we write the time and cash flow for each period.

Time Cash flow

0 -40,000

1 -3,000

2 -3,000

3 12,000

4 12,000

5 12,000

6 12,000

7 12,000

8 12,000

9 12,000

10 16,000

IRR 13.54%

Then we write on excel the function =IRR(select the cashflow)

and we got the IRR of the project
