    If the project is completed on time then there is no risk for completion. All of the regular risks that apply to a project built on time apply to this one regardless of whether you are building a new infrastructure or modifying an older one. If the project is finished one month early, the quantitative risk really does not exist. It is basically comparable to completing the project on time. Since the project is quoted at 3 million dollars it will stay the same regardless of how fast the project is finished. However, you may see differences. When you rush a project this large you could possibly cut corners or receive poor quality results. If the project is finished two months late there are additional risks. If the company expects to make $20 million dollars annually, and assuming that the 4% penalty is levied against this yearly figure and not within smaller period of time, one month late means that US Industries Incorporated loses $800,000 annually. There doesn't appear to be any additional risk, however, further penalties and the possible eventual loss of the contract to a competitor could result in a poor product. There again appears to be no real quantitative risk involved if the project is finished a month early with the security requirements. If the originally quoted $3 million dollars remains the same regardless of how fast the project is finished and not coupled with hourly or daily wages, then there is nothing to lose financially. However the companies go beyond the required 1.5% completion benchmarks that the contract demands. Rushing a project of this scale also comes with rushed results possibly cut corners or poor quality. The credibility of the company is at stake with such a high profile, high income project such as this, and it is important to use all of the time available to ensure the best product is on display for any customer. The finished project should meet both the time and security requirements but not the service agreement. There does not…

    Atlas Metal Company use payback period and ROI for evaluating projects. Both of these methods have some drawbacks which lead to manager to give wrong decision. Firstly, the firm use payback period by simply calculating the average time when project’s cash flow exceeds the initial investment cost. This method ignores the cash flow after the payback period. In other words, there may be some negative cash flow after payback period which may incur extra costs to company. Moreover, it also ignores the time value of money which causes a miscalculation of expected future cash flows. Secondly, increasing the ROI and deciding projects according to only ROI might harm company in the long-run. If a company always accepts higher ROI projects, company’s average return will also increase which also lead higher risk. Furthermore, there is a time difference between incurring the initial cost for project and later future cash flow. Therefore, this is difficult to evaluate the project with its cost and return in the same time. Also,…

    Ok first of all you are awesome. Kairos is awesome. So it’s perfect that you two have come together! Ok seriously, Kairos was the best experience of my life. I hope you get as much out of it as I did. You’ll form so many new friendships that you never would have without this experience. You’ll understand people in way you never would have thought. You have to put in to Kairos what you want to get out of it. You have to really open up. Tell your story. Let others know any problem you are struggling with. No matter how small it seems to you, no problem is too small if it matters to you. Let others know so that they can help you through it. Listen to others so you can help them. Stay up all night. DO NOT SLEEP. Stay up and talk with all the guys. That is where some of your best friendships come from. Don’t be afraid to say anything and everything. Kairos is an accepting and loving environment. (I have so many thoughts right now and they are all coming out so this doesn’t make sense. Sorry.)…
