Rowell Company spent $3 million two years ago to build a plant for a new product. It then decided not to go forward with the pro

ject, so the building is available for sale or for a new product. Rowell owns the building free and clear, that is, there is no mortgage on it. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. Since the building has been paid for, it can be used by another project with no additional cost. Therefore, it should not be reflected in the cash flows for any new project.
B. If the building could be sold, then the after-tax proceeds that would be generated by any such sale should be charged as a cost to any new project that would use it.
C. This is an example of an externality, because the very existence of the building affects the cash flows for any new project that Rowell might consider.
D. Since the building was built in the past, its cost is a sunk cost and thus need not be considered when new projects are being evaluated, even if it would be used by those new projects.
E. If there is a mortgage loan on the building, then the interest on that loan would have to be charged to any new project that used the building.

Answer:

B. If the building could be sold, then the after-tax proceeds that would be generated by any such sale should be charged as a cost to any new project that would use it.

Explanation:

The proceeds from a potential sale are the opportunity cost of using the building for a given project instead of selling to a third party. Not including any cost will lead to project not recovering the entire capital used in it.

Is important to notice this is the after-tax proceeds from the sale of the building.

How could an accident impact production quality and affect your company's profits?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The correct options could be 2, 3 and 4.

Explanation:

When an accident happens in a production unit, usually the work is stopped to make the things up and put them back to work. If workers gets injured due to that accident, they are replaced with the new workers immediately, and to hire the workers for this job immediately may result in the hiring of less competent workers that might do the same job in more time, thus reducing the productivity and can harm the quality of the product due to less knowledge or training about the job. Secondly, when accident happens, the work is stopped up till all security checks are done. So a lot of time is wasted and when the work gets start again, the quality could slip in effort to make up for the lost time. In this way the quality of the product may be affected and the profits of the organization may get down.

coldgirl [10]

aalyn [17]

Answer:

A. 40,000

Explanation:

Data provided

Sold units = 39,000

Beginning units = 16,000

Ending units = 17,000

The computation of units is shown below:-

Production units = Sale unit + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory

= 39,000 + 17,000 - 16,000

= 56,000 - 16,000

= 40,000

So, for computing the production sales we simply applied the above formula.
