Answer:
a. Describe how the average accounting return is usually calculated and describe the information this measure provides about a sequence of cash flows. What is the AAR criterion decision rule?
Average accounting return = average net income / average investment
The problem with AAR is that net cash flows are not equal to net income since depreciation expense and changes in net working capital are not accounted for by AAR.
The criterion decision rule is that projects with an AAR above a certain measure.
b. What are the problems associated with using the AAR as a means of evaluating a project’s cash flows? What underlying feature of AAR is most troubling to you from a financial perspective? Does the AAR have any redeeming qualities?
it doesn't consider net cash flows, nor time value of money. Personally, accounting is an extremely important tool but it only reflects a partial perspective of a business. E.g. a business might have a huge net income but if it doesn't have enough cash to function, it will go bankrupt. In finance, cash is king.
Personally, my biggest problem with AAR is that it doesn't consider net cash flows. I've been on situations where the company I worked for was apparently doing great, but our accounts receivables were huge and we couldn't collect money fast enough. My job was basically go to different banks and convince them of loaning us cash. The worst part was that even without being able to collect cash, we still had to pay taxes and that was another huge problem.
I believe that AAR is still used because of its simplicity. Also, taxes are paid based on accounting profits and many firms base they compensation plans on them.

Answer:
True
Explanation:
Once the company starts taking loans to fund its investment their financial risk starts growing which is only beared by the Shareholders not by the bond holders. This additional risk faced by the ordinary share investors means that now they will require additional return. Remember the financial risk only exist if their is the use of leverage or we can say if the financial leverage increases then the financial risk increase. And if the financial risk increases then this additional risk is only beared by the ordinary share investors. Now additional risk beared is the reason why ordinary shareholders means that this has increased the riskiness of their equity investment.
Answer:
7.5 Years
Explanation:
The computation of the payback period of the given machine is shown below:
<u>Year Initial outflow Cash flow Cumulative cash flow</u>
(52000)
1 10,000 10,000
2 10,000 20,000
3 10,000 30,000
4 8,000 38,000
5 8,000 46,000
6 2,000 48,000
7 2,000 50,000
8 4,000 54000
9 4,000 58000
10 4,000 62000
Now the Payback period is
= Completed years+ required cash ÷ annual cash inflow
= 7 years + 2000 ÷ 4000
= 7.5 Years
Answer:
Macy is liable. The Federal Trade Commission states that both the credit rating agency and Macy's are responsible for correcting the erroneous credit report. It is very hard to sue and win a credit rating agency because they will place the blame on the company that made the initial mistake (Macy's), but lately courts have accepted cases against the companies that cause all this mess.
Courts have lately ruled in favor people alleging that a bad credit report damaged them since a good credit rating is considered an intangible asset. The company that cause the mistakes are liable for any possible damages resulting from a poor credit rating.
