Concept Introduction:
ARR: Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) is the rate of return earned on the investment made in a project. ARR is calculated by dividing the Average Accounting profits by Average Investment.
The formula to calculate ARR is as follows:
Payback Period: Payback period is the period in which the project recovers its initial cost of the investment. It can be calculated by dividing the initial investment by the annual cash inflow from the project.
NPV: Net present value (NPV) is the method to evaluate the project feasibility. This method calculates the present value of cash inflows and outflows, and then calculates the net present value of the investment. A project should be accepted if it has a positive NPV. The formula to calculate the NPV is as follows:
IRR: Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the rate at which the NPV of the project is 0 or we can say that IRR is the rate of return at which the project is at breakeven. IRR is calculated using excel or approximation method.

Requirement-e:
To Indicate:
The decision for the investment
Answer to Problem 16.38C
The project should not be accepted
Explanation of Solution
The project has the following analytical results:
| Sunset beach Inc. | |
| NPV | $ (1,974) |
| PV Ratio | 0.99 |
| IRR | 11.61% |
| Payback | 3.38 Years |
The project has negative NPV and IRR is less that the required rate 12%, hence the project should not be accepted.
Concept Introduction:
Decision making plays an important role in the management. The decisions taken by managers are called managerial decisions. Managerial Decisions are decisions taken by managers for the operations of a firm. These decisions include setting target growth rates, hiring or firing employees, and deciding what products to sell. Manager's decisions are taken on the basis of quantitative as well as the qualitative measures. The managerial decision includes the decisions like make or buy, accept or reject new offers, sell or further process etc. These decisions are taken on the basis of relevant costs.
Relevant costs are the costs that are relevant for any decision making. Relevant costs are helpful for take managerial decisions like make or buy, accept or reject new offers, sell or further process etc.
Two basic types of the relevant costs are as follows:
- Out-of-pocket costs
- Opportunity costs
Requirement-f:
To Indicate:
The key qualitative factors to be considered for the investment decision
Answer to Problem 16.38C
The key qualitative factors to be considered for the investment decision are as follows:
- Quality of the Products to be sold
- Effect on current Market share after accepting this order
- Effect on current production after committing the additional production

Bean operates two factories that produce its popular Bean boots (also known as "duck boots") in its home state of Maine. Since L.L. Bean prides itself on manufacturing its boots in Maine and not outsourcing, backorders for its boots can be high. In 2014, L.L. Bean sold about 450,000 pairs of the boots. At one point during 2014, it had a backorder level of about 100,000 pairs of boots. L.L.
