Investment appraisal: Among the most critical decisions companies have to make are investment decisions - whether buying new machinery or taking over another company. This clip examines the different investment appraisal techniques companies use to help them make those decisions. Payback, profit, and opportunity cost are all important factors companies consider - but the figures rarely tell the whole story. Contribution: A business may make a wide range of products. But how does it work out which products are making the biggest (or smallest) contribution to its profits? This process involves calculating variable and fixed costs - and this can be used to work out the contribution of individual shops and departments, too. But in the real world these calculations are never easy.
