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:
The answer is $1,402,000
Explanation:
Cost of an asset is the total cost of acquiring and asset plus the cost incurred in bringing the asset to a working condition e.g cost of transporting the asset to factory, cost of installation etc.
Cost of the machine is:
Cost of acquisition $4,000,000
Cost of installation. $10,000
Building a clean room. $3,000,000
Total cost is. $7,010,000
No salvage value
Useful life is 5 years
Cost of depreciation using the straight-line method is
(cost of the asset - salvage value) ÷ number of useful life
$7,010,000 ÷ 5
= $1,402,000
Answer:
The broker is doing two different jobs; so it is okay to have two different licenses.
Explanation:
In this case, since the broker is doing two different jobs then it is okay for him to have two different licenses. In a hypothetical case that the individual Broker was doing the same job role for two different companies then that would be considered a form of conflict of interest and may cause problems with both firms in the future. Since this is not the case, then he should not have any problem.
Answer:
Pros and cons are for every method listed below. A person can only see his strength and power during self assessment and he may ignore all his mistakes as it can be his over confidence in himself. Graphic rating may be disappointing as many employees can get same rating and there will not be any difference among them in the pay rise.
Explanation:
There are four major performance appraisal tools
1. Self assessment
2. Graphic Rating
3. Behavioral Checklist
4. 360 degree feedback
