Both of these cases considered the capital investment choices to be made by executives of this substantial business in January 2001. The 'A' case presents a go/no-go job assessment involving advancements to a polypropylene production plant. The 'B' case reviews the same job but from one level higher, where the executive confronts either/or investment decision between two mutually exclusive endeavors. The goal of the two cases will be to expose pupils to a broad array of capital-budgeting dilemmas which include, among others, the identification of related cash flows, the critical assessment of a capital investment evaluation procedure, the classic "cross-over" dilemma, in which the project’s ranks disagree on the grounds of net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR).
This is just an excerpt. This case is about FINANCE & ACCOUNTING.
