Previous Nextarrow_forwardEthics in Action Danielle Hastings was recently hired as a cost analyst by CareNet Medical Supplies Inc. One of Danielles first assignments was to perform a net present value analysis for a new warehouse. Danielle performed the analysis and determined a present value index of 0.75. The plant manager, Jerrod Moore, is very intent on purchasing the warehouse because he believes that more storage space is needed. Jerrod asks Danielle into his office and the following conversation takes place: Jerrod: Danielle, youre new here, arent you? Danielle: Yes, I am. Jerrod: Well, Danielle, Im not at all pleased with the capital investment analysis that you performed on this new warehouse. I need that warehouse for my production. If I dont get it, where am I going to place our output? Danielle: Well, we need to get product into our customers hands. Jerrod: I agree, and we need a warehouse to do that. Danielle: My analysis does not support constructing a new warehouse. The numbers dont lie; the warehouse does not meet our investment return targets. In fact, it seems to me that purchasing a warehouse does not add much value to the business. We need to be producing product to satisfy customer orders, not to fill a warehouse. Jerrod: The headquarters people will not allow me to build the warehouse if the numbers dont add up. You know as well as I that many assumptions go into your net present value analysis. Why dont you relax some of your assumptions so that the financial savings will offset the cost? Danielle: Im willing to discuss my assumptions with you. Maybe I overlooked something. Jerrod: Good. Heres what I want you to do. I see in your analysis that you dont project greater sales as a result of the warehouse. It seems to me that if we can store more goods, then we will have more to sell. Thus, logically, a larger warehouse translates into more sales. If you incorporate this into your analysis, I think youll see that the numbers will work out. Why dont you work it through and come back with a new analysis. Im really counting on you on this one. Lets get off to a good start together and see if we can get this project accepted. What is your advice to Danielle?arrow_forwardEnumerate the 7 steps in engineering economy study. Apply it on a situation you can encounter in your daily life. ( Ex.
