Creating a new product does not ensure a reduction in cost of production. This is so because some products cost more to produce than others.

Answer:

We'll take this one after the other.

A. First Physical Asset Valuation (PAV) refers to the act of writing up or writing down the carrying value of an organisations assets in its balance sheet.

In simple terms, it refers to increasing upwards or downwards the value of an organisations asset in its balance sheet.

When assets are written down, the following are likely to occur:

Critical changes to an organization’s business model or strategy, such as termination of the business and loss of a regulatory licence;

A significant reduction in the cash flow or bottom line of the business;

when the long term growth rates, interest rates or other financial factors such as prices or value of currencies, upon which a business valuation based decline, this impacts the valuation of an asset negatively.

B. Research and Development (R&D)

R&D refers to all the studies, scientific investigations and experiments carried out to enable the discovery and creation of a new or innovative product or service that is more efficient and effective.

The reason there is a risk associated with R&D is that there are usually many elements of uncertainty.

The ideas being tested are usually novel and have not been tried before.

Some of the risks associated with R&D are:

the possibility that the new product will fail in the market;

a new product or service that is does not work

the possibility of cost creep. That is a situation where the cost of the R&D outweighs the potential profit from the product or service.

Cheers!

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= 208,500 units.

Sales:

second quarter= 417,000 units

third quarter= 469,000 units

fourth quarter= 289,500 units.

Desired ending inventory= 50% of the next quarter's budgeted sales.

To calculate the production for each quarter, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Second-quarter:

Sales= 417,000

Desired ending inventory= 0.5*469,000= 234,500

Beginning inventory= (208,500)

Total production= 443,000

Third-quarter:

Sales= 469,000

Desired ending inventory= 0.5*289,500= 144,750

Beginning inventory= (234,500)

Total production= 379,250
