There are several reasons why this type of projects are nearly impossible to stop once they have been approved, even when costs skyrocket.

First, it is difficult to stop these projects because, when these start, a lot of moeny is put into them. When the cost begins to skyrocket, people believe that to stop the project would mean wasting all the money already invested. This prevents people from stopping the projects.

Another reason is the fact that many different companies, investors and institutions are involved in these projects. Coordination is difficult, and pmany parties have a vested interest in the completion of such works. This makes it difficult for the different parties to agree on the right moment to stop.

kiruha [24]

Answer: $535,251.25

Explanation:

Cash flow to investors from operating activities is calculated by:

= EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

EBIT = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Depreciation

= 1,484,000 - 803,000 - 175,000

= $506,000

Taxes = Tax rate * (EBIT - Interest)

= 35% * (506,000 - 89,575)

= $145,748.75

Cash flow to investors = 506,000 + 175,000 - 145,748.75

= $535,251.25

Which of the following is true of assigning costs to cost objects? a.Assigning costs to cost objects can be accomplished in a nu
podryga [215]

Answer:

A and B.

Explanation:

Understand  cost classification used for assigning costs to cost objects can be divided in direct costs and indirect costs.

Direct costs are those who can be easily and conveniently traced to a unit of product or other cost object. Examples are direct material and labor.

Indirect costs are those who cannot be easily and conveniently traced to a unit of product or other cost object. Example manufacturing overhead.

The common costs are the indirect costs incurred in support a number of cost objects. These costs cannot be traced to any individual cost object.

Determining cost tracing and allocation is more art than science, as it's difficult to trace costs with 100 percent accuracy.

Tracing costs becomes even more difficult when a cost goes toward producing multiple goods or services.
