Answer:
What does the IRR rule say about whether you should accept this opportunity?
The IRR rule basically states that if the project's internal rate of return (IRR) is higher than the cost of capital (discount rate or WACC), then the project should be accepted. In this case, we are not given the company's WACC or any discount rate we can use, therefore there is nothing to compare the project's IRR against.
Based on prior experience, this project's IRR will not be very high and if we consider the cost of keeping the site clean forever, I really doubt that the project is profitable. If you calculate the project's IRR without including the perpetual cleaning cost, IRR = 11%.
If we assume any of the 3 WACCs I used as an example below, the project's IRR including cleaning costs:
- if WACC = 12%, then IRR = 9.26% REJECTED
- if WACC = 10%, then IRR = 8.98% REJECTED
- if WACC = 9%, then IRR = 8.79% REJECTED
- if WACC = 8%, then IRR = 8.54% ACCEPTED
In order for this project to be profitable, the WACC would need to be very low (around 8% or less).
Explanation:
cost of opening a new mine $120 million
annual cash flow $20 million
expected cleaning costs $2 per year in perpetuity
the cost of keeping the site clean forever = $2 million / discount rate or WACC:
- if WACC = 12%, then perpetual cost = $16.67 million
- if WACC = 10%, then perpetual cost = $20 million
- if WACC = 9%, then perpetual cost = $22.22 million
- if WACC = 8%, then perpetual cost = $25 million
Answer:
A) true
Explanation:
Manufacturing involves converting raw materials into useful finished product. Manufacturers engage different production processes in creation of goods/ services, and the choice of process to use is dependent on the kind of products/ goods that were to be produced. In choosing process or production methods desires of the market as well as available resources and volumes need to be put into consideration. For instance, in steel manufacturing, the process is one that requires a continuous process, therefore, CONTINUOUS PROCESS is used. A production plant involving working together of both workers and robot works together in assembling if automobiles requires a "ASSEMBLY PROCESS"

Answer:
25 containers
Explanation:
The computation of the number of kanban containers required is shown below:
= (Lead time demand + Safety stock) ÷ Container size
where,
Lead time demand is
= 2,000 units × 4 days
= 8,000 units
Container size = 400 units
Safety Stock is
= 1 day × 2,000 units
= 2,000 units
So, the number of kanban containers required is
= (8,000 units + 2,000 units) ÷ (400 units)
= 25 containers
We simply applied the above formula
