According to analyzes by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be expansion of complex goods and services, which require greater education in their production and marketing. Thus, these services tend to cater to those people who have the resources to pay for it. This means that the rapid expansion of services expected over the next five years will focus on the richest. Healthcare, education and leisure firms will tend to produce more personalized services to increase their profitability. This is basically the market logic of the economy.
Yes it does. Unemployment is when a person isn't currently hired at a work pleace. If people are unemployed they are making no income so less people are in need of products so it lowers the demand.
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
Answer:
different time horizon
Explanation:
The time horizon is a certain time when a planned event/process expected to be finished. A different department can have different considerations/priorities when making the ideal time horizon. In this case, the marketing team wants the product released faster(in the first quarter) to capture market share as the main consideration. But the production team who responsible for the product quality wants more time to develop the product.
