Perform an analysis to show whether or not Fahmi Enterprise should adopt the new policy?
Under Current Policy:
Cost being incurred = 2000*8= $16000
Sales Revenue= 2000*15= $30000
Net Present Value= 30000-16000= $14000
Under New Policy:
Cost being incurred= 2050*8.4= $17220
Sales Revenue after one month= 2050*15.5= $31775
After discounting with required return of 0.75% per month, Sales Revenue= 31775/1.0075= $31538.46
Net Presnt Value= 31538.46-17220= $14318.46
