Assignment:
In this simulation, you will act as the Capital Committee of New Heritage Doll Company, tasked with selecting and allocating capital across the company's three divisions. You will evaluate a diverse set of competing investment proposals and make decisions regarding 27 separate proposals over a five-year period.
You will confront a range of project types including replacement investments, expansion investments, investments in mutually exclusive projects, interdependent projects, and projects with growth options. To evaluate them, you must examine outlays, cash flow patterns, and common metrics such as NPV, IRR, and Payback, with or without capital constraints.
This simulation will give you a chance to apply the fundamental concepts we've learned up to this point in a real-life setting as you make the hard choices amongst projects vying for capital at New Heritage Doll Company. Between now and next Sunday, you should complete the Capital Budgeting Simulation on your own. You should also prepare a 4 to 6 slide PowerPoint presentation that outlines the results of the simulation and your key takeaways from the simulation.
