10.4 The staff of Jefferson Medical Services has estimated the following net cash flows for a food services operation that it may open in its outpatient clinic: Year Expected Net Cash Flow 0 ($100,000) 1 30,000 2 30,000 3 30,000 4 30,000 5 30,000 5 (salvage value) 20,000 The time 0 cash flow is the net investment outlay, while the final amount is the terminal cash flow. (The clinic is expected to move to a new building in five years.) All other flows represent net operating cash flows. Jefferson’s corporate cost of capital is 10 percent. What is the project’s IRR? Assuming the project has average risk, what is its NPV? Now, assume that the operating cash flows in years 1 through 5 could be as low as $20,000 or as high as $40,000. Furthermore, the salvage value cash flow at the end of year 5 could be as low as $0 or as high as $30,000. What are the worst-case and best-case IRRs? The worst-case and best-case NPVs?

As public awareness of the need to recycle, reuse and repair has grown, TerraCycle has found that it has needed to create more recycling centres around the country to meet the new demand. 1. Identify two points of time throughout a one-year period where the capacity of the TerraCycle Recycling Centres will exceed their normal operations capacity and explain why there is an increase in demand during these periods. 2. Discuss at least three different approaches to managing capacity about TerraCycle and the challenges which each approach may face. 3. Recommend one action based on your analysis of TerraCycle to improve capacity management and explain how this could be implemented and monitored in the long run.

Problem 8-2 The owner of Genuine Subs, Inc., hopes to expand the present operation by adding one new outlet. She has studied three locations. Each would have the same labor and materials costs (food, serving containers, napkins, etc.) of $1.70 per sandwich. Sandwiches sell for $2.50 each in all locations. Rent and equipment costs would be $5,050 per month for location A, $5,570 per month for location B, and $5,740 per month for location C. a. Determine the volume necessary at each location to realize a monthly profit of $9,500. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Location Monthly Volume A B C b-1. If expected sales at A, B, and C are 20,800 per month, 22,100 per month, and 23,300 per month, respectively, calculate the profit of the each locations?

Mick Karra is the manager of MCZ Drilling Products, which produces a variety of specialty Valves for oil equipment. Recent activity in the oil fields has caused demand to increase drastically, and a decision has been made to open a new manufacturing facility. Three locations are being considered and the size of the facility would not be the same in each location. Thus, overtime might be necessary at times. The following table gives the total monthly cost (in $1,000s) for each possible location under each demand possibility. The probabilities for the demand levels have been determined to be 20% for low demand, 30% for medium demand, and 50% for high demand. Demand is low Demand is medium Demand is High Ardmore, Ok 85 110 150 Sweetwater, Tx 90 100 120 lake Charles, LA 110 120 130 (a) Which location would be selected based on the optimistic criterion?(b) Which location would be selected based on the pessimistic…
eCabs is a newly created taxi service company that provides online booking for clients in the Lusaka province. eCabs has considered developing a simple website for an online booking System with the capability to enable clients access from their mobile devices and to book for a trip. At the time of their first booking, clients should be able to enter their details into an online form, along with their credit card details. However, clients can also have an account with eCabs and for any subsequent bookings, they can log in to their own account and make a booking for a taxi. They need to be able to enter their trip origin and destination. The system will give them an estimate of cost according to their trip description. Assuming you have been assigned to design and develop the system for eCabs. You are given three weeks to come up with a blueprint of the system design and present the design to a team of consultants. The online booking System should be able to perform a number of…
