Case Study #1 BRIC is an acronym that refers to the countries of Brazil, Russia, India, and China, which are all considered to be at a comparable phase of recently progressive economic development.

During my sophomore winter term in college, I took a course called the Global Rise of BRICS. I vividly remember my first day in the class. Our lecturer, Yelena Biberman-Ocakli was a young professor from Chechnya. After the class introduction, Professor Biberman-Ocakli purposely raised up the topic of U.S. foreign policy.

African countries it should become more attractive to the world and this is why I think South Africa should focus on improving its own continent rather than focusing all its attentions on BRICS and CIVETS.

Digitalis’ investment. This evaluation tool allows us to understand the investor 's yield on their initial investment. Digitalis should opt for a project that has an IRR value greater than its cost of capital of 15%. China has the highest IRR (30%) of all BRICS projects when compared to cost of capital.

Since NPV is greater than 0 and IRR is greater than the discount rate, the investment into China seems promising.
