Question:
The firm you work for is consider investing $100,000 in employee training (an operating expense) to improve employee retention. It has been estimated the costs savings from the improved retention is approximately $30,000 per year. Another analyst at the firm suggests that if the present value of the increase in the firm’s after-tax operating profit (from the cost savings due to the improved retention) is greater than the $100,000 outflow, then the firm should invest. Do you agree with this analyst’s statement? Fully Explain!
