Question 4

Proposal 3 should be chosen as the NPV of Proposal 3 is greater than that of Proposal 1, 2, 3 & 4. As per the calculations attached in excel sheet, we can easily say that Proposal 3 is the most suitable one for Bevan Industries Plc. We have analyzed the given cash flows of two Proposals using techniques such as Net Present Value (NPV), payback period and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The reason for analyzing two Proposals by multiple techniques is to increase the reliability and authenticity of our forecast. From the following table, we can easily see that Net Present Value of Proposal 3 is greater than that of Proposal 1, 2, 3 & 4. We accept the Proposal having highest value of NPV because higher the NPV, greater would be the returns and profitability of the Proposal.

An approach used in capital budgeting where the present value of cash inflows is subtracted by the present value of cash outflows. NPV is used to analyze the profitability of an investment or project. NPV compares the value of a dollar today versus the value of that same dollar in the future, after taking inflation and return into account. If the NPV of a prospective project is positive, then it should be accepted. However, if it is negative, then the project probably should be rejected because cash flows are negative.

The role of a financial manager cannot be solely the command of the finances; it also needs to include the ability to help the organization achieve its goals.

Governmental managers must be able to assess the work environment and adapt their style accordingly.

The task for successful leaders is to determine the applicability of these theories and practices to their environment and to develop their peer? interactive? and conflict management skills in order to deal with the ambiguity of the workplace. The development of a leadership style(s) that is effective in that organization and at that time is a critical element of successful leadership. The most effective leader is able to match the style to the situation.

Effective financial managers have developed resource allocation skills for their organizations. One of the most important roles of management is the allocation of resources to achieve the end result. The financial manager is an important participant in the overall goal-setting process for the organization and has a role in working with the chief executive and policy makers to set achievable goals using available ...
