Case Study on Application of Modified Internal Rate of Return Method for Watershed Evaluation

Case Study about Application of Modified Internal Rate of Return Method for Watershed Evaluation

Abstract: The use of modified IRR in developmental projects has been demonstrated by using data pertaining to four watersheds two from Tamil Nadu and two from Maharashtra. The conventional internal rate of return (IRR) widely used in project evaluation, suffers from certain problems, most important one being the assumption of reinvestment at the rate of IRR, which has been often contested in project evaluation literature. The ranking of projects based on IRR and NPV may also come into conflict due to this assumption. Scale and time span differences across projects often make it difficult to compare.



Case Study on Internal Rate of Return

Introduction: Technical interventions have been the hall mark of developmental processes. They are capital-intensive with flow of benefits extended over a longer period of time. Since large amounts of public funds are spent in such interventions, there is a need for economic justification for the investment and for prioritisation of projects competing for limited resources. Thus, evaluation of various public investments is necessary.

A Case Study on The Aynak Copper Deposit, Afghanistan

A Case Study about The Aynak Copper Deposit, Afghanistan

Overview: Mineral resource development today can affect a nation for many years, sometimes for generations to come. Consequently, the award of mineral rights can be one of the most far-reaching activities a government undertakes. Mineral resource development is thus often enshrined in constitutions and overarching mineral laws to ensure that such development is undertaken in the public interest, in recognition of the strategic and economic contribution of minerals to the nation, and with the greater good of society in mind.



Case Study on Aynak Copper Deposit

In a majority of countries, subsurface rights (mining cadastre) take precedence over surface rights (land cadastre). Subsurface rights and access to explore and extract a mineral resource can be granted to a third party by the state for a defined period of time; it is in most cases the esponsibility of the subsurface rights owner to negotiate rights to access the property, within the provisions of applicable laws and regulations, with the surface land owner.

Objectives of the Study: The classification of NBFCs have been changed over a period of time. The functioning of different categories of NBFCs are not governed by the homogeneous factors. Therefore financial implication can differ for different group of companies. The financial performance of 10 leasing companies has been examined by Seem Saggar at disaggragate level and compared with other groups of NBFCs for a period of 1985-90. Moreover, the performance of all NBFCs taken together in terms of cost of debt, operating margin, net profit margin, return on net worth, asset turn over ratio etc. The study by Seema Saggar does not reflect the overall performance of NBFCs as it is based on selected 10 companies.

Case Study on Stirling Council

Challenge: Stirling Council, serving one of the fastest growing cities in Scotland, receives 320,000 calls a year from local citizens, mostly for its ‘fix-it’ services, such as cleansing, pest control, road and street lighting, and housing repairs. These enquiries were traditionally handled by a number of different answering points within the council and subsequently logged, categorized and forwarded to the relevant service department; a time and labor intensive process that was slowing the council’s response to requests. Since the process of distribution for bills of work was manual, work reports could get lost or misplaced for a period of time, delaying and inhibiting the services the council provided to its citizens.
