Every project is unique. It requires the doing of something different, something that was not done previously. Even in what are often called “routine” projects such as home construction, the variables such as terrain, access, zoning laws, labour market, public services and local utilities make each project different. A project is a one-time, once-off activity, never to be repeated exactly the same way again.
Projects are temporary activities. A project is an ad hoc organization of staff, material, equipment and facilities that is put together to accomplish a goal. This goal is within a specific time-frame. Once the goal is achieved, the organization created for it is disbanded or sometimes it is reconstituted to begin work on a new goal (project).

Company A Company B Market Value of Equity $400,000 $600,000 Market Value of Debt $100,000 $800,000 Cost of Equity 9% 9% Cost of Debt 3% 4% Tax Rate 35% 35% Based solely on their current weighted average cost of capital, which company should pursue an investment opportunity with an expected return of 6.5%
Answer:
Company B should pursue the investment
Explanation:
To determine a profitable investment opportunity to pursue, we would compare the weighted average cost of capital WACC to the expected return on the investment opportunity. An investment return greater than the cost of capital implies a profitable investment and vice versa
The weighted average cost of capital (WAAC) is the average cost of all the various sources of long-term finance used by a business weighted according to the proportion which each source of finance bears to the the entire pool of fund.
Lets first work the after tax cost of debt for the companies:
After tax- cost of debt = cost of debt × (1-tax rate)
Company A= 3%× (1-35%) = 1.95%
Company B = 4%× (1-35%)= 2.6%
WACC coy A= 9%× (4/4+1) + 1.95% × 1/(4+1) = 7.6%
WACC coy B= 9%× (6/6+8) + 2.6% × 8/(6+8) = 5.3%
Company B has a cost of capital of 5.3% which represents the minimum
return required by by the providers of capital. An investment an expected return of 6.% appears profitable as it is greater than the company's cost of fund of 5.3%
Company B should pursue the investment
Swifty Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,453,700 and retained earnings of $5,392,600 at December 31, 2020. Swifty later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $102,820 and $37,880, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings.
Answer:
Corrected cost of goods sold $1,388,760
Corrected retained earnings $5,354,720
Explanation:
First, we need to determine corrected cost of goods sold
Corrected cost of goods sold at December 31, 2020
= Beginning inventory - Purchases - Ending inventory
= $1,453,700 - [$102,820 - $37,880]
= $1,453,700 - $64,930
= $1,388,760
The December 31,2020 corrected retained earnings would be computed as;
= Ending retained earnings - Overstated ending inventories at December 31, 2020
= $5,392,600 - $37,880
= $5,354,720
a company acquired a truck for 130,000 residual value was estimated to be $20,000 the truck can be driven for 50,000 miles or a useful life of four years. Actual usage of the truck was recorded as 10,000 miles for the first year. What is the amount of depreciation expesne for the first year calculated by the double
Answer:
$65,000
Explanation:
Depreciation Expense = 2 x SLDP x BVSLDP
where,
SLDP = 100 ÷ 4 = 25 %
BVSLDP = $130,000 (FIRST YEAR)
therefore,
Depreciation Expense = 2 x 25 % x $130,000 = $65,000

Name one thing you're afraid of when you think of college and career.
The multiplier effect occurs when an initial increase (or decrease) in autonomous expenditure produces a greater increase (or decrease) in real GDP than the initial change. In which type of discretionary fiscal policy does the multiplier play a role? tax changes only neither government spending changes nor tax changes government spending changes only both government spending changes and tax changes Assume a marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of 0.5. Which discretionary fiscal policy would have a more pronounced impact on the economy? A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending, or a 800 billion dollar tax cut, would both have an equal impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending would have a more pronounced impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar tax cut would have a more pronounced impact on the economy.
Answer:
The answer is "Choice d and Choice b".
Explanation:
In question 1:
The multiplier effect is produced whenever an initial rise (or decrease) of self-employed market capitalization (or decreases) GDP Growth higher than the original change. Where both increases in public spending or adjustments in taxes are produced by a budgetary monetary strategy, a multiplier mostly on the economy plays a major role in public spending and new taxes.
In question 2:
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a more noticeable influence on financial spending, via an 800 billion dollar increase in government expenditure. This will have more major economic effects on fiscal policy. More noticeable effects of increased spending will have on the aggregate throughout the economy.
The use of government budget funding policies to impact economic factors, particularly macroeconomic variables such as aggregate consumer spending, employment, inflation, and economic growth, is referred to as fiscal policy.
How is a fiscal policy that is discretionarily chosen?The multiplier impact occurs anytime an initial increase (or drop) in self-employed market capitalization (or reduces) GDP Growth that is greater than the original change.
When a fiscal monetary strategy produces both increases in public expenditure and tax adjustments, a multiplier based primarily on the economy plays a significant role in both public spending and new taxes.
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a greater impact on financial expenditures, resulting in an 800 billion dollar rise in government spending.
This will have a greater impact on budgetary policy. The aggregate consequences of higher expenditure will be more visible throughout the economy.
Thus, Options B and D are correct.

Organizations with low turnover and satisfied employees tend to perform better. On the other side of the coin, organizations have to act when an employee's performance consistently falls short. Based on these concepts, organizations may distinguish between involuntary and voluntary turnover, recognize their effects on the organization, develop measures to encourage top performers to stay, and develop ways to manage the separation process fairly. Any organization wants to retain good performers and encourage or force low-performing employees to leave. There are two types of employee turnover. Involuntary turnover occurs when the employer requires employees to leave, often when they would prefer to stay. This action may potentially result in lawsuits and violence. Voluntary turnover occurs when employees initiate the turnover, often when the organization would prefer to keep them. These employees may retire or leave to work with different organizations. Both types of turnovers are costly because of subsequent needs to recruit, hire, and train replacements.

Involuntary Turnover:
Workplace Violence: An employer may decide to fire an employee who engages in workplace violence. This is what is known as spontaneous turnover.
Violating: If an employee is found to be in breach of the company's rules, he will be dismissed, resulting in involuntary turnover.
Employee layoffs: Forced turnover occurs when a company's employees are laid off in large numbers.

Lindsey Company uses activity-based costing. The company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 5,000 units and of Product B is 2,000 units. There are three activity cost pools, with estimated total cost and expected activity as follows: Estimated Expected Activity Activity Cost Pools Overhead Cost Product A Product B Total Activity 1 $ 24,000 200 800 1,000 Activity 2 $ 36,900 750 150 900 Activity 3 $ 63,000 1,000 800 1,800 The overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 24,000 / 1,000= $24 per activity unit
Activity 2= 36,900 / 900= $41 per activity unit
Activity 3= 63,000 / 1,800= $35 per activity unit
Now, we can allocate costs to product A:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 24*200= $4,800
Activity 2= 41*750= $30,750
Activity 3= 35*1,000= $35,000
Total allocated costs= $70,550
Finally, the unitary cost:
Unitary cost= 70,550 / 5,000= $14.11
Suppose you are the money manager of a $5.21 million investment fund. The fund consists of four stocks with the following investments and betas: Stock Investment Beta A $ 320,000 1.50 B 780,000 (0.50) C 1,260,000 1.25 D 2,850,000 0.75 If the market's required rate of return is 10% and the risk-free rate is 5%, what is the fund's required rate of return
Answer: 8.65%
Explanation:
First find the weights of the stocks:
Total = 320,000 + 780,000 + 1,260,000 + 2,850,000
= $5,210,000
Stock A:
= 320,000 / 5,210,000
= 6.14%
Stock B:
= 780,000 / 5,210,000
= 14.97%
Stock C:
= 1,260,000 / 5,210,000
= 24.18%
Stock D:
= 2,850,000 / 5,210,000
= 54.70%
Then calculate Portfolio Beta.
Portfolio beta = (6.14% * 1.50) + (14.97% * - 0.5) + (24.18% * 1.25) + (54.72% * 0.75)
= 0.7299
Required rate of return using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
= Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
= 5% + 0.7299 * (10% - 5%)
= 8.65%

In its December 31, Year 1 balance sheet, Lake should report a deferred income tax liability of
Answer: $0
Explanation:
A deferred income tax is simply referred to as the liability that's being recorded in the balance sheet when there's a difference in the income that's recognized by the company and the tax laws.
First, we should note that the premium on officer's life insurance will make no difference to the taxable income. Also, the interest received on municipal bonds which is $20,000 are usually exempted from the federal income tax and should not be taxable as well.
Therefore, based on the above explanation, Lake should report a deferred income tax liability of $0.

small accounting firm is considering the purchase of a computer software package that would greatly reduce the amount of time needed to prepare tax forms. The software costs $2150 and this expense will be incurred immediately. The firm estimates that it will save $650 of cash flow at the end of each year beginning in one year for 5 consecutive years, and also save $1788 in year 6. What is the payback on the computer package
Answer:
Pay back period =3 years 4 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time it takes cash inflow from a project to recoup the cash outflow.
The payback period uses cash flows and not profit.
The payback period can be determined by accumulation the cash inflow consecutively to ascertain the length of time it will take the sum to equate the initial cost.
This will be done as follows:
The sum of the cash in flows for the first three years would equal
650× 3= 1,950
The balance required to equate 2,150 would be
balance = 2150-1950 = 200
Pay back period = 3 years + (200/650)× 12 months
= 3 years 3.6months
Pay back period =3 years 4 months

Sunland purchased the license for distribution of a popular consumer product on January 1, 2020, for $158,000. It is expected that this product will generate cash flows for an indefinite period of time. The license has an initial term of 5 years but by paying a nominal fee, Sunland can renew the license indefinitely for successive 5-year terms. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2020
Answer:
No amount should be amortized since the license can be renewed indefinitely for successive 5-year terms.
Instead, the license should be tested for impairment annually to determine impairment loss.
Explanation:
An intangible asset that can be used indefinitely is treated like purchased Goodwill. It should never be amortized. Annually, the asset should be tested for impairment. The test is to compare the market value of the license with the book value.

Item4 3 points eBookHintPrintReferencesItem 4 Spotter Corporation reported the following for June in its periodic inventory records. Date Description Units Unit Cost Total Cost June 1 Beginning 12 $ 8 $ 96 11 Purchase 38 9 342 24 Purchase 20 11 220 30 Ending 24 Required: Calculate the cost of ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under the (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average cost methods.
Answer:
a. FIFO
cost of ending inventory = $256
cost of goods sold = $402
b. LIFO
cost of ending inventory = $204
cost of goods sold = $454
c. Weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory = $225.60
cost of goods sold = $432.40
Explanation:
Periodic method means cost of sales and inventory balance are determined at the end of the period.
Step 1 : Units Sold
Units Sold = Units available for Sale - Units in Inventory
= (12 + 38 + 20) - 24
= 46
Step 2 : FIFO
FIFO assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 20 x $11 + 4 x $9 = $256
cost of goods sold = 12 x $8 x 34 x $9 = $402
Step 3 : LIFO
LIFO assumes that the units to arrive last, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 12 x $9 + 12 x $8 = $204
cost of goods sold = 20 x $11 x 26 x $9 = $454
Step 4 : Weighted average cost
Weighted average cost method calculates a new unit cost with every purchase made. this unit cost is then used to calculated cost of sale and ending inventory.
Unit Cost = Total Costs ÷ Units available for sale
= (12 x $8 + 38 x $9 + 20 x $11 ) ÷ (12 + 38 + 20)
= $9.40
cost of ending inventory = Units in Inventory x Unit Cost
= 24 x $9.40
= $225.60
cost of goods sold = Units Sold x Unit Cost
= 46 x $9.40
= $432.40
Myrna and Geoffrey filed a joint tax return in 2018. Their AGI was $85,000, and itemized deductions were $24,700, which included $7,000 in state income tax and no other state or local taxes. In 2019, they received a $1,800 refund of the state income taxes that they paid in 2018. The standard deduction for married filing jointly in 2018 was $24,000.
Under the tax benefit rule, what amount of the state income tax refund is included in gross income in 2019?
Answer:
$700
Explanation:
Calculation for what amount of the state income tax refund is included in gross income in 2019
Standard deduction for married filing jointly in 2018 $24,000
Less itemized deductions ($24,700)
State income tax refund included in gross income in 2019 $700
($24,000-$24,700)
Therefore the state income tax refund that is included in gross income in 2019 will be $700
