Answer:
a. net income= understated, retained earnings= understated
Explanation:
In accounting and auditing it is established that ending inventory and net income moves in the same direction when it comes to being overstated or understated. That implies that if <u>ending inventory is understated</u>, then cost of goods sold will be overstated by the same amount, and when costs are overstated it finally leads to <u>net income and gross profit being understated.</u>
Furthermore, since it is the net income that will be added to retained earnings thereafter, it implies that the lesser the net income the lesser will be retained earnings. Hence, understatement of ending inventory is understatement of net income and also retained earnings.
The correct answer is
"A great deal often just happens by accident"
Great deals require searching and planning.
Answer:
Project A
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 250,000 1 -250,000
1-10 45,100 6.144 277,094.40
Sum of all present value=NPV=27,094.40
IRR (by using trial and error method) = 12.4696%
Note: Discount factor for the year 1-10 is calculated by using annuity formula i.e [1-(1+10%)]/10% = 6.144
Project B
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 (350,000) 1 (350,000)
1 72,500 0.91 65,975
2 65,500 0.83 54,365
3 73,800 0.75 55,350
4 71,500 0.68 48,620
5 69,800 0.62 43,276
6 75,500 0.56 42,280
7 31,000 0.51 15,810
8 47,500 0.47 22,325
9 55,500 0.42 23,310
10 29,200 0.38 11,096
Sum of all present values=NPV=32,407
IRR(by using trial and error method=12.4186%
On the basis of NPV project B is better because it gives higher NPV than project A. Whereas, Project A is better than project B on the basis of IRR because project A has slightly higher IRR than project B.
b)The conflict between both the investment appraisal technique is likely due to different cash flow patterns of both the project. In such situation decision should be based on NPV because this is an absolute measure
Answer:
The correct answer is that the company should <u>charge more to the business travelers</u> and <u>charges less to the vacationers</u>.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept called ''elasticity'', in the field of economics, refers to the variation that occurs when a change in one variable affects a change in another variable. Moreover, this concept has many applications regarding if the main subject is the supply of a product or the demand of a product.
Secondly, the <em>price elasticity of demand</em> is an elasticity application in economics that establishes the changes that occur to the demand of a product when the price changes. This elasticity could be inelastic or elastic. In addition, if the price elasticity of demand is inelastic then when the price changes the quantity demanded of that product will not change drastically while in the other hand, if the price elasticity of demand is elastic then when the price changes the quantity demanded of that product will change drastically so therefore the consumers reject the change in the price.
Finally, if the company wants to increase its total revenue then it must increase the price that charges to the business travelers and decrease the price that charges to the vacationers.
