The company expects to sell $950,000 of the new product in the first year and $1,500,000 each year thereafter. Direct costs including labor and materials will be 45% of sales. Indirect incremental costs are estimated at $95,000 a year. The project requires a new plant that will cost a total of $1,500,000, which will be a depreciated straight line over the next 5 years. The new line will also require an additional net investment in inventory and receivables in the amount of $200,000. Assume there is no need for additional investment in building the land for the project. To receive full credit on this assignment, please show all work, including formulae and calculations used to arrive at financial values. Prepare a statement showing the incremental cash flows for this project over an 8-year period. Calculate 500 word essay format (P/B) and the net present value (NPV) for the project. Do you think the project should be accepted? Assume the company has a P/B (payback) policy of not accepting projects with life of over 3 years. If the project required additional investment in land and building, how would this affect your decision?
This builds pace and stresses the important parts of an argument. These three rhetorical techniques, by the way, are also used in essay writing. Next time you write an English paper or Social Studies paper, try using rhetoric to create your essay. Check here for further tips on writing and delivering speeches! 2. Once you have written your speech (about 2 pages, double spaced), print out a copy of your speech. Check your work for grammar errors before you print. 3. You want to divide up the speech between you and your partner. Decide who is going to deliver what part of the speech. Both partners must deliver a portion of the speech. 3. After deciding who will deliver what part of the speech, cut the speech up using scissors. 4. Paste or tape your speech onto index cards. 5. Use the cards to rehearse your speech. Practice your speech delivery by reading your note cards to your partner. You will have time next class to continue practicing. This article was generated with GSA Content Generator DEMO!
