Examination and Report Assessment
You have been engaged as a management consultant by Scylace plc, a grocery retail chain. You have been asked to evaluate two alternative proposals for building a new superstore and a proposal to make a takeover bid for Helibeb plc. You have the option to build the superstore at one of two locations.
Using the figures which you have calculated in your examination, write a report with recommendations on whether to build either or both of the two superstores and on whether to make a bid for Helibeb plc.
If you recommend that
(a) both superstores should be built or
(b) at least one superstore should be built while Scylace also seeks to acquire Helibeb, you must provide a recommendation on which investments should take priority if resources are insufficient to make all the investments you are recommending.
