I think the answer is 204 million
Answer:
Projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.
Optimal Capital is $5,750,000
Explanation:
The accept-or-reject rule, using the IRR method, is to acceptthe project if its Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is higher than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital(k) [r>k]. The project shall berejected if its internal rate of return is e lower than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital cost of (r<k)
Accept if r>k
Reject if r<k
Mayaccept if r = k
If the Weighted Average Cost of Capitl (WACC) is less than IRRrate, then the project has positive NPV; if it is equal to IRR, theproject has a Zero NPV, and if it is greater than the IRR, theproject has negative NPV.
The projects should be accepted as the rate of return on theproject is higher than the WACC(10.8%) which means that theprojects will be profitable as the returns are higher than the costof the project (capital). Considering this projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.
And considering the sizes the Optimal Capital is $5,750,000 (the addition of sizes of all projects)
Answer:
b) overall low-cost leadership
Explanation:
By Michael Porter, this is one of the <em>generic strategies</em>. This strategy implies that the company is dominating the market by securing a low-cost approach across all channels (supplier side, customers, rivals). This is generally achieved by low operating costs and by the factors listed out in the example itself (influencing rivals and suppliers). This type of strategy puts a company ahead of most of its competitors.
<span>Because farm products have a low elasticity of demand a small change in output will have a similar effect on the price. Since the low elasticity of demand directly relates to </span>pricing, when the smaller change in output happens, a smaller drop in profits does as well. The price of the item will decrease to compensate for less products selling.
