Answer:

Project 1, 2 and 3 should be rejected.

Explanation:

This problem required us to tell which project we should not accept. To solve this we have to apply this rule that is accept the project with positive NPV.

The detail calculation are given below.

The discount factors to be used for CFO, CF1, CF2 and CF3 is 1, 0.74, 0.55 and 0.41 respectively. It is calculated by using following formula.

               DF= (1 + i)^-n (n is period and i is 35%)

So now calculating NPV of each project by multiplying cashflow with discount factor.

Project 1 = -100+ (50*0.74 ) + (50*0.55) + (50*0.41) = -15 M dollars

Project 2 = -80 + (40*0.74) + (45*0.55) + (50*0.41) = -5.15 M dollars

Project 3 = -70 + (30 *0.74) + (40*0.55) + (50*0.41) = -5.3 M dollars

Project 4 = -60 + (30 *0.74) + (40*0.55) + (60*0.41) = 8.8 M dollars

Project 5 = -50 + (25 *0.74) + (30*0.55) + (70*0.41) =  13.7 M dollars

The following situations suggest a strength or a weakness in internal control. Identify each as a strength or weakness​, and giv
Mkey [24]

Answer: Options A and C are strengths while options B and D are weaknesses. See explanation below.

Explanation:

a. All employees must take at least five consecutive days off each year.

This is a strength in internal control. This would help to maintain stability in operational process and ensure leave days are effectively utilized. It also prevents staff from taking the leave days in piecemeal and sporadic manner thereby disrupting the operational process and causing team instability. It is also used to ensure leave days are promptly utilised and well accounted for.

b. The accounting department orders merchandise and approves invoices for payment.

This is a weakness in internal control. There should be a check and balance in this regard. In some organizations, proper scrutiny of the vendor and invoice is done by the Procurement Unit and the Expense Control Unit respectively. Even within the accounting department, there is approval hierarchy. Also, the unit within accounting department that is making the order should not be the one to approve the transaction.

c. Cash received over the counter is controlled by the sales​ clerk, who rings up the sale and places the cash in the register. The daily sales are recorded in the accounting records by the accounting department.

This is a strength in internal control as it ensures checks and balances. Fraud and error can be detected through this means. The accounting department should verify the transactions to the relevant supporting document before recording the transaction in the system.

d. The officer who signs checks need not examine the payment packet because he is confident the amounts are correct.

This is a weakness in internal control in the sense that checks signed by the officer is binding in the court of law. The officer cannot claim ignorance if anything goes wrong. There is therefore a need for proper scrutiny and relevant questions asked before checks are signed.

The taxpayer’s marginal tax bracket is 25%. Which would the taxpayer prefer? a. $1.00 taxable income rather than $1.25 tax-exemp
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

option (d) $1.40 taxable income rather than $1.00 tax-exempt income

Explanation:

The taxpayer would prefer option (d) $1.40 taxable income rather than $1.00 tax-exempt income

The above statement will be chosen because in this case the after tax income will be greater than the tax exempt according to the condition given in the question

Given:

Marginal Tax bracket = 25%

thus,

Taxable income = $1.40

Tax = $1.40 × 0.25 = $0.35

Therefore,

The net income = Taxable income  - Tax = $1.40 - $0.35 = $1.05

and,

$1.05 > $1.00

Veseljchak [2.6K]
Yes I would sacrifice potentially winning the state title. Using performance enhancing drugs is both morally wrong, and illegal. If my team was to win states I would want it to be because we deserved it, not because players were taking drugs. Not only that, but the players who took the drugs could be causing a lot of harm to their bodies, something that isn't worth a title.
