(a) The sales value at the split-off method
(b) The physical measure method
2. Allocate the joint costs to the two products Soda and Basalt using the net realizable method .
3. What is the gross margin for each product under each of the three methods of allocation?
The net present value of a project refers to the difference between the present value of the inflow of cash and the present value of the outflow of cash over a period of time. NPV essentially reflects the profitability of an investment project. Furthermore, the internal rate of return refers to the discount rate that essentially values the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows in regards to a particular project that is equal to zero. It should be noted here that the NPV and IRR are derived from the same formula. The issue presented in the question is that the two projects have been considered, Project A and B. An initial investment of AED 11,000 is required. The cash inflows occur at the end of each year. Therefore, the following computations have been carried out on the basis of the given considerations (Magni & Martin, 2017).

The above table that has been presented shows the net present value and the internal rate of return computations for both of the projects. The table deduces that the internal rate of return and the Net present value of the projects are greater in case of Project B in comparison to Project A. Therefore, the project, which the Company should accept, is Project B.

The payback period for each project refers to the time period that is needed by an investment project for the purpose of deriving the projected returns from the respective investment ventures. The payback period for Project A is 4.20 years and that for Project B is2.67 years.
In case the Company has the policy of accepting projects with 3 years or less, the company should accept the Project B.

The Net Present values of the three projects that have been computed shows the NPV of the three options. The NPV of option 1 reflects a positive value (AED 25,135,745) while the NPV of option 2 and that of option 3 reveals a negative figure of AED -3,674,756 and AED -4,114,470. This means that the option that should be used by the Company is Option 1. This is because it reflects a positive NPV. However, it should be noted here that the option 1 and the option 2 could also be considered by observing the following factors:
- The production level of 65,000 units with the existing equipment has been sourced out at a cost of AED 80 per unit.
- Moreover, the excess capacity in any of the five years period could be used for meeting the demands of other companies at a lower price. The lower price would result in ten dirhams per unit.
- Therefore, in order to derive a positive net present value in case of Option 2 and Option 3 the lower price should be more than 10 dirhams per unit.
