Solution :
Expected sales = current sales x (1 + projected sale next year increase)
= 5,700 x (1 + 15%)
= $ 6555
Expected cost = current cost x (1 + projected sale next year increase)
= 4200 x (1 + 15%)
= $ 4830
Taxable income = 1500 x ( 1 + 15%)
= $ 1725
Taxes (34%) = 510 x (1+15%)
= $ 586.5
Net income = sales - cost - taxes
= 6555 - 4830 - 586.5
= $ 1138.5
Calculation of total asset :
Current asset = 3,900 x 1.15
= $ 4485
Fixed asset = 8100 x 1.15
= $ 9315
Total asset = 4485 + 9315
= $ 13800
Calculation of total liabilities
Current liabilities = 2200 x 1.15
= $ 2530
Long term debt = $ 3,750
Equity = $ 6050 + (1138.5 x 0.50 )
= $ 7189
Total liabilities = $ 2530 + $ 3,750 + $ 7189
= $ 13, 469
Therefore the external financial needed is = $ 13800 - $ 13, 469
= $ 331
Answer:
Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B)
0 -37,500 -37,500
1 17,300 5,700
2 16,200 12,900
3 13,800 16,300
4 7,600 27,500
1) Using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function:
IRR project A = 20%
IRR project B = 19%
2) Using the IRR decision rule, Bruin should choose project A.
3) In this case, since the length of the projects is only 4 years, then there should be no problem with the IRR decision rule, but for projects with longer time lengths, the discounts rates might vary and the best option is to use the modified internal rate of return (MIRR). But in this case the NPV of project B is higher, then Bruin should probably project B because it has a higher NPV. The NPV is always more important then the IRR.
4) Again using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function:
NPV project A = $6,331
NPV project B = $8,139
5) first we must subtract cash flows from A by the cash flows from B:
1 $11,600
2 $3,300
3 -$2,500
4 -$19,900
then we calculate the IRR = 16%
Bruin should be indifferent between the two projects at a 16% discount rate. That means that at discount rates above 16%, you should choose project A, but at discount rates below 16%, you should choose project B

They use a <span>Straight Piecework Plan </span>as an incentive to their employees.
The Straight Piece-Work System is the simplest incentive approach in which the rate in keeping with unit of output is fixed, and the income of the employee are computed with the aid of multiplying his total output by rate per unit. We can also define this as the system or plan in which the employers or workers are paid according to the number of units produced during a defined time period at fixed rate.
