Based on $400,000 spent on market research and $600,000 spent on consulting prior to the project, the firm can increase its annual operating cash flow by $3,000,000 if they begin selling overseas. While the firm was thinking about the expansion, it spent $2,000,000 to purchase land for a new factory. However, someone is making an offer to pay Beckingham Sports $3,000,000 for the purchased land meant for a new factory. Which of the following is the relevant to include capital budgeting?a. $400,000 for the market study
b. $600,000 for the consulting
c. $2,000,000 to purchase the new land
d. $3,000,000 of the offer price of the land.
e. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is E)

Explanation:

Capital budgeting is an accounting method that corporations use to decide which planned acquisitions of fixed assets will be approved and which should be refused.

Some examples of Capital Expenditures include:

1. Construction of an additional building
2. Procurement of delivery vehicles
3. Procurement of new equipment
4. Rehabilitation of existing equipment

If one of the criteria for classification under Capital Expenditure is that it must be in the plan, then none of the above items mentioned in the question will fly.

Monies have already been expended on the options A, B, and C.

Option D is an offer to purchase an existing asset, not a planned investment. Therefore it also does not qualify.

Hence the correct answer is E.
