Holmes Institute HI5002 Memo 02 – T02, 2015
Mr. de Ville, the owner of Tasman Ian de Ville Investments Ltd. (TIDI) has asked
you to evaluate five investment projects. TIDI has a $10,000,000 investment
budget, an investment hurdle rate of 11.0 %, and the owner has a requirement that
all investments have a Payback Period (PBP) of 3.5 years. Also, Project 2 brings
the offices and warehouse up to the current fire code and the listed savings are the
“facilitation payments” (e.g. bribes) that will no longer need to be made to
inspectors to avoid the office being shut-down.
