Current Assets
- Assets are considered current if they're expected to be liquidated during normal business operations.
- Current assets are readily sold or consumed within the normal business cycle.
Total Production Costs
- Total production costs encompass expenses incurred during normal business operations.
Sensitivity Analysis
- Sensitivity analysis identifies the minimum production or sales levels for a project's financial viability.
- It evaluates how changes in one or more factors affect the project's results.
Acid-Test Ratio
- The acid-test ratio isn't an actual ratio; it's a concept described as the "acid test."
- It's calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
Net Present Value (NPV)
- NPV calculates the present value of future cash flows, subtracting the initial investment.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
- IRR is the discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of a project equal to zero.
- IRR is the rate of return earned by an investment over time.
Environmental Impact Assessment
- The goal of an environmental impact assessment is to identify, predict, and describe both positive and negative project impacts.
