Answer: Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Sarah who is the controller of a large beverage supplier, supervises two employees and that her boss, Vladimir, told her to increase the company's inventory balance for an amount that is material to the financial statements by crediting several small "miscellaneous" expense accounts.
We are further told that Sarah does not know the reason behind this but told one of her staff to make them because she has been instructed to do so.
We can see that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue. She didn't evaluate the effect of what she is doing. In this case, what her boss told her to do could be a case of fraud and she just obliged without asking questions which will put her conscience at ease in case anything happens but the fact that she just did it without asking questions or thinking if what she has done is morally right or wrong, it shows that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.

Answer:
The correct answer is D. Is the return investors require on the total assets of the firm.
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Capital Cost (WACC) is a financial measure, which has the purpose of encompassing in a single figure expressed in percentage terms, the cost of the different sources of financing that a company will use to fund a specific project.
To calculate the WACC, it is necessary to know the amounts, interest rates and tax effects of each of the selected sources of financing, so it is worth taking the time to analyze different combinations of these sources and take the one that provides the lower figure
.
Comparatively, without going into the detail of the project evaluation, "the WACC must be less than the profitability of the project to be funded" or expressed in another order, "the project performance must be greater than the WACC."
