Explanation:

<em>From the example given, Joel Kimmel is not behaving in professional manner . </em>

<em>The function  of  Bank Reconciliation Statement at normal interval is to restore the differences in  the bank cash book and pass book</em>

Answer:

Joel is behaving in a totally unprofessional & unethical manner

Explanation:

As assistant controller, Joel Kimmel's job specification & responsibility includes financial statement preparation & combination, putting of internal controls in place, detailed analysis & reporting of cost variance, acts as the go-between with external auditors amongst other such responsibilities.

As such, when Joel discovered the cost discrepancy during the reconciliation, it was actually his responsibility to call the bank's attention to the variance. This is something that clearly falls under his job specification & can be considered as neglect of duty. Joel's decision defeats the very purpose of bank reconciliation, which is to correct any such discrepancy & to the ensure the rectification of transactions. Most importantly, the decision Joel plans to take is very unethical & is against standard accounting practices

We can therefore, say that Joel's decision is thoroughly unethical & unprofessional

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

1. Depreciation or Amortization of Assets

2.Profit or Loss on sale of Assets

Explanation:

Operating Cash Flow is very different to Net Income. The earlier represent cash movement and the latter represent profit movement.Cash and profit literally are different.

So in the profit calculation you would find some non-cash items that include estimate of depreciation expense or amortization cost of intangible assets or a profit or loss on sale of a PPE item.

Whereas in Operating Cash Flow determination only cash items are considered and all non-cash items are removed from profit of the year to reach an amount of Operating Cash Flow.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19

As the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.

Explanation:

The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project.  If the NPV is positive, we should proceed with the project and vice versa.

NPV = CF1 / (1+r)  +  CF2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  + CFn / (1+r)^n  -  Initial Cost

Where,

  • CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
  • r is the required rate of return

NPV = 3200 / (1+0.17)  +  3200 (1+0.17)^2  +  3200 (1+0.17)^3  +  

3200 (1+0.17)^4  +  5700 (1+0.17)^5  -  9800

NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
