Cutting Edge Sensors Ltd. has taken $2.5M worth of investor stock to start a 3 year project that is estimated to earn $5M by the end of the project ( $2M at end of year 2 , and $3M at the end of year 3 ). The yearly costs involved are $500,000 for the length of the project. Investors had the opportunity to invest in another project expected to earn 10% per year. What is the ROI? (format: xx.x e.g. 99.9 or 99.9 ) To complicate the situation, the CEO is considering the possibility of buying infrastructure that would make inhouse manufacturing of component parts normally bought from suppliers. This would increase the initial cost required to fund the project to a total of $4M (from $2.5M ). This would reduce ongoing yearly costs to $150,000 (from $500,000). What is the updated ROI ? (format: x.x e.g. 99.9 or 99.9 ) Are there any other benefitsegatives of this infrastructure investment that the CEO should be made aware of? (aside from the NPV/ROI). Select one or more: a. The infrastructure would definitely increase the variable costs per unit of their sensors. b. The infrastructure would reduce fixed costs for producing the sensors. c. You could sell usage of the infrastructure for extra income. d. The infrastructure will wear outeed maintaining, so would be a liability. e. The infrastructure may allow for greater economies of scale and/or create a barrier to entry for smaller competitors. The project undertaken by Cutting Edge Sensors Ltd. Is progressing. Currently they have spent $750,000 of their approved $500,000 proportion of the total budget ( $2.5M total budget for the 3 year long project). The estimates of how they are progressing suggests they are 20% complete of all tasks up to this point in the project (currently 18 months in). What is the Rate of Performance (RP)?
