Before attempting this assignment:
Study the relevant topics in the study material as indicated on page 17 of Tutorial Letter

Take note that, as prerequisites for MAC3761, both MAC2601 and MAC2602 form part of
an important foundation on which MAC3761 builds. The MAC2601 and MAC2602 study
materials are therefore regarded as prior knowledge and all the work covered in MAC2601
and MAC2602 is examinable in MAC3761 (whether or not it was revisited in MAC3761). It
is for this reason that this assignment includes revision of some of the work covered in
MAC2601 and MAC2602.

work.

MAC3761/Assignment01/0/2021
Use the following information to answer questions 1 to 15 (all inclusive):
Industrial Printers Limited’s (“InduPrint”) overall organisational activities and processes aimed at value
creation for its shareholders and stakeholders are the manufacturing of paper and the large-scale
printing of paper solutions. In the main, the manufacturing of the paper takes place at the company’s
plantation while the printing activities relates to the printing of: personnel diaries; promotional,
advertising and awareness banners; workshop study materials; training manuals; and policy documents
for various corporate entities and government institutions. The company provides, transforms and
employs the following six “system of inputs” through its organisational activities: (i) short and long-term
financing resources (cash, debt and equity); (ii) paper manufacturing infrastructure, plant, and
equipment; (iii) paper manufacturing patents, copyrights and self-developed technologies; (iv)
management staff and blue-collar workers; (v) a network of established relationships with various
institutions, communities, and stakeholders; and (vi) plantation (land) and irrigation water.
As part of selecting the most appropriate strategy for the company, InduPrint’s management assessed
both the internal and external environments within which the company operates. This assessment
included the following amongst others, the desired company culture; possible regulatory impediments;
identification of suppliers and materials; decision on product offering; the rate of industry’s technological
advancement; and envisaged competitive position. In this regard, it was noted with concern that while
adequate mitigating measures are in place for internal environment risks, the external environment
poses the most significant risks to the company’s growth prospect. In responding to the strategic analysis
of the risks relating to both internal and external environment of the company, InduPrint adopted a
strategy that is grounded on (i) alliances; (ii) new markets and organic growth; and (iii) acquisitions.
To minimise the impact of its carbon emission, InduPrint is situated in a remote industrial area. The
company powers its operation with the electricity supplied by the country’s power utility. However, due
to ongoing loadshedding, the company’s growth prospect is at risk. As such, InduPrint is considering
investing in 20 wind turbines. According to InduPrint, this investment is poised to reduce the prevalence
of business disruptions resulting from power-outages and subsequently improve the company’s
competitive edge through achieving one of its strategic objectives of “commitment to environmentally
friendly operations through renewable energy”. The proposed 20 turbines will be acquired from and
installed by an overseas-based company at a cost of €73 500 per turbine. The exchange rate applicable
to this purchase and installation is R1: €0,0525. The investment in the turbines will first be funded by all
the cash resources available as at 31 March 2021. The resulting shortfall (if any) will be funded by a
combination of the existing long-term funding instruments in accordance with the book value capital
structure as at 31 March 2021. Where necessary, in funding this investment, ordinary shares will be
issued at their market price as at 31 March 2021. InduPrint has access to R20 million bank overdraft
facility for short-term funding requirements only. This facility is only used if cash resources are depleted.
