定成本过高，设备是否老化，需要关闭生产线、厂房，降

所有咨询公司面试可能用到的分析结构

Advanced concepts & frameworks

MBAs and other candidates with business background, take note - interviewers will e xpect you to have a more detailed take on your case than an undergraduate would hav e. Here are some commonly used case concepts.

Net present value

Perhaps the most important type of decision company managers must make on a daily b asis is whether to undertake a proposed investment. For example, should the company buy a certain piece of equipment? Build a particular factory? Invest in a new proj ect? These types of decisions are called capital budgeting decisions. The consultan t makes such decisions by calculating the net present value of each proposed invest ment and making only those investments that have positive net present values.

Example: Hernandez is the CFO of Western Manufacturing Corp., an automobile manufac turer. The company is considering opening a new factory in Ohio that will require a n initial investment of $1 million. The company forecasts that the factory will gen erate after-tax cash flows of $100,000 in Year 1, $200,000 in Year 2, $400,000 in Y ear 3, and $400,000 in Year 4. At the end of Year 4, the company would then sell th e factory for $200,000. The company uses a discount rate of 12 percent. Hernandez m ust determine whether the company should go ahead and build the factory. To make th is decision, Hernandez must calculate the net present value of the investment. The cash flows associated with the factory are as follows:

Hernandez then calculates the NPV of the factory as follows:

Since the factory has a negative net present value, Hernandez correctly decides tha t the factory should not be built.

The net present value rule

Note from the example above that once the consultant has figured out the NPV of a p roposed investment, she then decides whether to undertake the investment by applyin g the net present value rule:

Make only those investments that have a positive net present value.

As long as the consultant follows this rule, she can be confident that each investm ent is making a positive net contribution to the company.

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

In the above example, we assumed a given discount rate. However, part of a consulta nt's job is to determine an appropriate discount rate (r) to use when calculating n et present values. The discount rate may vary depending on the investment.

Beta

The first step in arriving at an appropriate discount rate for a given investment i s determining the investments riskiness. The market risk of an investment is measur ed by its "beta" (?), which measures riskiness when compared to the market as a who
