Scarce resources are resources that have limited availability relative to desired use. They include labor, capital, land, or entrepreneurship.  There is also the term scarcity, which denotes condition of limited resources and unlimited wants and needs. Resources are limited, so if a manufacturer uses fewer scarce resources, the benefit will be that the product would be less expensive to produce.

Investor Palmer has a diversified portfolio consisting of equity and debt valued at $365,000 at the start of the year. During th
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The return after taxes is 7.9%

Explanation:

At the start of the year the portfolio is valued at $365,000.

At the end, his portfolio has returns by dividends ($3,579), interests ($2,783) and portolio's valuation (389,648-365,000=$24,648).

The tax is applied to the dividends and interests, as:

Tax = 0.35 * (3579+2783) = 0.35*6362 = $2,226.70

We can then calculate the investor's return as

R = profit after taxes / initial portfolio valuation

R = ((3579 + 2783 - 2226.70)+24648)/365000

R= 28,783.30 / 365,000 = 0.079 = 7.9%

EBIT = Operating cash flow - Depreciation + Taxes  

EBIT = 10.28 million - 0.95 million + 2.1 4 million

EBIT = $11.47 million

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Project A

Years      Cashflows     Discount factor     Present values

0            250,000                    1                           -250,000

1-10            45,100                   6.144                     277,094.40

Sum of all present value=NPV=27,094.40

IRR (by using trial and error method) = 12.4696%

Note: Discount factor for the year 1-10 is calculated by using annuity formula i.e [1-(1+10%)]/10% = 6.144

Project B

Years Cashflows Discount factor  Present values

0        (350,000)           1                              (350,000)

1           72,500               0.91                   65,975  

2           65,500               0.83                    54,365  

3           73,800                  0.75                    55,350  

4            71,500                  0.68                    48,620  

5           69,800                  0.62                   43,276  

6           75,500             0.56                   42,280  

7           31,000                  0.51                            15,810  

8           47,500                  0.47                           22,325  

9           55,500                  0.42                   23,310  

10           29,200                  0.38                    11,096

Sum of all present values=NPV=32,407

IRR(by using trial and error method=12.4186%

On the basis of NPV project B is better because it gives higher NPV than project A. Whereas, Project A is better than project B on the basis of IRR because project A has slightly higher IRR than project B.

b)The conflict between both the investment appraisal technique is likely due to different cash flow patterns of both the project. In such situation decision should be based on NPV because this is an absolute measure
