Direct materials refer to those materials used in the production process which can be traced to a particular unit or department. A good example of a direct material is the raw materials used in the production unit for the production of a particular product.
Direct labour refers to the salaries and wages of those employees that are directly involved in the production process or in carrying out a particular operation. An example of a direct labour for the production of chocolates is the salary of those workers in the production unit.
Overhead cost refers to all other costs that are incurred during the process of production.These costs can not be traced to a specific department per say, but it cover the whole business unit. Overhead cost is of two types: administrative and manufacturing overheads. Examples of overhead costs are rent, utilities, insurance, depreciation, etc.
Answer:
Project A Project B
Initial investments ($170,000) ($115,000)
CF Year 1 $42,500 $34,500
CF Year 2 $58,500 $52,500
CF Year 3 $82,795 $68,500
CF Year 4 $92,900 $68,500
CF Year 5 $67,500 $68,500
using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function, the internal rate of return of each project is:
- Project A's IRR = 26.02%
- Project B's IRR = 36.31%
We can use the discount rate (12%) to calculate the projects' NPV, we do not need it to calculate their IRR:
- Project A's NPV = $70,855
- Project B's NPV = $88,815
