Potentiality of the New Project:

Opined to Bebbington, Unerman and O’Dwyer (2014), when the net present value (NPV) of the project is considered as positive, a firm should take the project under consideration. Here, the organization Emu electronics should manufacture the smart phones as this will result into positive earnings. The reason behind this is that the calculated net present value is positive. Moreover, the payback period (PBP) of the particular project is also considered as attractive as the duration of the particular project for recovering the initial amount is relatively lesser.  

Penalty for Loss on Other Models:

The loss takes place due to the decreased quantity of sale of the smart phone models that have been formerly launched is enclosed by the revenue that is generated by selling the new model of smart phones (Christensen et al. 2015). This new model of smart phone has been introduced into the market by the organization Emu Electronics. Thus, it can be said that if any loss takes place, then it will be enclosed by the due in order to sell the new model of the smart phones. In this circumstance, only the new smart phone model would be introduced into the market by the particular organization.

The weighted average cost of debt is considered as a different factor, especially, when the rate of interest is used according to the market and book value (Gitman and Zutter 2012). The rates of the book value of the firm have been used but this would not be able to prepare any true claim regarding the monetary outstanding. On the other hand, as per Asx.com.au (2016) the market value organizes the accurate financial claim.

IRR Calculation

The market value that is used for calculating ‘weighted average cost of capital’ is equivalent to 4.51 % (Hribar, Kravet and Wilson 2014). Moreover, based on the book value, it can be said that the “weighted average cost of capital” is 4.27%. The particular calculations are as follows:

When the “cost of capital” is deliberated by using the market value, the value that is determined out is considered as more pertinent. The particular value is more authentic as the present circumstance is to depict the data from this rate (Johnson and Noguera 2012). This might be of great use for both the shareholders and the investors of the particular organization, who are eager to make investment within the organization.

The organization that generally uses the “pure play approach” for identifying the estimated cost of capital might come up with different issues (Mintz 2016). The particular reason behind this is that the definite investment that is made by the firm would not be able to scrutinize. The organization uses the estimated value of the beta by using the particular firm that can be contrasted to the provided organization by utilizing the “pure play approach”. The company return is studied by using this specified approach that would not be able to scrutinize the investment return. The firm’s beta cannot be calculated in a straight method. The true value of this investment might not be obtained from the particular “pure play approach”. The cause is that the substitute values are utilized for identifying the return from the investments and the situation might also be dissimilar especially when it is included within the real line of business (Weil, Schipper and Francis 2013). Thus, the true worth of the particular investment that is made along with the return that is developed might not be replicated by using the true worth.
