Marston Manufacturing Company has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighte

d average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project? Reject the project Accept the project On what grounds do you base your accept–reject decision? Division H’s project should be accepted, as its return is greater than the risk-based cost of capital for the division. Division H’s project should be rejected since its return is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division.

Answer:

Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?

Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.

Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.

Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).

Explanation:

Division H's risk = 14%

Division L's risk = 8%

WACC = 11%

Answer:

The answer is False.                                        

Explanation:

The qualities of effective communication are:

  1. <em>Completeness.</em> Effective communications are complete, i.e. the receiver gets all the information he needs to process the message and take action. If the information is complete there is no need to see HR for any questions.
  2. <em>Conciseness:</em> The communication was fairly concise. Conciseness is about keeping your message to a point.
  3. <em>Consideration:</em> Effective communication takes into account the receiver’s background and points of view. There was no compliments at the beginning of the message. Second, the message assumed on point 2 that people will know what to do with the Tab for Requests.
  4. <em>Concreteness: </em> Concreteness mitigates the risk of misunderstanding, fosters trust and encourages constructive criticism.
  5. <em>Courtesy: </em>The tone of the email lacked courtesy.
  6. Clearness: Clear communications build on exact terminology and concrete words, to reduce ambiguities and confusion in the communication process.
  7. <em>Correctness: </em>Correct grammar and syntax vouch for increased effectiveness and credibility of your message. Formal errors might affect the clarity of your message, trigger ambiguity and raise doubts. The email opens up with an address to Dear Mr. Trujillo when it is supposed to go to all staff.

Cheers!

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Debit Depreciation expense $570,000

Credit Accumulated depreciation $570,000

<em>(To record the accumulated depreciation for 3 years)</em>

Explanation:

Using a Straight-line depreciation method, depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

Depreciation expense = $2,090,000 / 11 years = $190,000 yearly

We would assume that the internal auditors detected the error at the beginning of Year 2022, so the accumulated depreciation for 3 years (Jan 2019 - Dec 2021) would be $190,000 x 3 years = $570,000

The following correctional entries will apply:

Debit Fixed asset - Machine $2,090,000

Credit Expense account $2,090,000

<em>(To appropriately record the purchase of machine)</em>

The required adjustment fot the accumulated depreciation is recorded above under the answer section.
