Answer:
1. Damaged or obsolete goods are not counted in inventory if they cannot be sold.
2. If these can be sold… Cost should be reduced to Net Realizable Value
Explanation:
The law relating to the valuation of inventory is that ''inventory should be valued at lower of 'Cost' and 'Net Realizable Value'.
Therefore in the case of damaged or obsolete goods, they have to be eliminated from inventory, otherwise it will lead to overvaluation.
However in the case where these can be sold, They have to be valued at lower of 'cost' or 'salable value', implying that 'Cost' should be reduced to 'Net Realizable Value'
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The first part was true. A higher WACC results in a lower NPV simply because a higher discount rate results in a lower present value.
E.g. 100 / (1 + 6%)³ = 83.96, but if we increase r to 10%, then 100 / (1 + 10%)³ = 75.13
The second part is wrong because under the IRR method, the decision rule is very simple, all projects are accepted if their IRR is higher than the project's WACC (or discount rate). I.e. if hte project's WACC increases, so does the chance of the project being rejected because the IRR might be lower than the WACC.

Answer:
If Jeff's wage rate rises, he decides to work more hours. From this, we can infer that for Jeff, the substitution effect is greater than the income effect - option C.
Explanation:
The substitution effect is stronger than the income effect in a case whereby the supply of labor increases as the wage rate increases .
On the other hand, when the supply of labor decreases as the wage rate increases, then the income effect is stronger than the substitution effect.
With regards to the scenario given in the question - with an increase in the wage rate, Jeff has decided to work more hours.
Thus, in the given case, it can be inferred that for Jeff, the substitution effect is greater than the income effect.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
