Caledonia Products Integrative Problem 1. Why should Caledonia focus on visualise free notes flows as opposed to the accounting wampum earned by the project when analyzing whether to undertake the project? Free cash flows are being focused on because it the number that Caledonia will receive and they will be open to reinvest that amount. Caledonia should analyze the free cash flow so that they are able to see the real amount of value or what the cost may be. The marginal value from the project would be in the incremental cash flow. The earnings would be much less if they were looking at it through the accounting profits.It would be less because of the depreciation would be con attitudered an expense causing a larger expense for Caledonia. Describe factors Caledonia mustiness consider if it were to lease versus buy First Caledonia must figure out if they will have plenteous cash flow to pay the bill each month. Leasing would give Caledonia the benefit of decreasing costs. The d own side of leasing would mean that Caledonia will not be out of the lease until it has been paid off and the company who contract the property will be the owners until that is completed.Buying property means that the item is usually in offend condition, better value, and they will own it. Prices are often better when buying than with leasing. Tax expenses may be a downside of owning the property. 2.
