The given statement " One of the steps the U.S. Sentencing Commission delineated companies must implement to demonstrate due diligence is that a firm must develop and disseminate a code of conduct that communicates required standards and identifies key risk areas for the organization " is TRUE
Explanation:
The US Sentencing Commission is an official disciplinary body of the United States federal government.
The commission outlined 7 measures to show due diligence for businesses:
1. The company shall establish and disseminate a code of ethics outlining the necessary requirements and defining key danger areas for the organization.
2. Oversight of the system is provided by top-ranking agencies considered to conform with business regulatory and ethical requirements (such as an ethics director, vice president of operations, general advocates and so forth).
3. Nobody should be positioned in a position of authority with a proven potential for wrongdoing.
4. There will also be a training program (Ethics Training) for disseminating principles and procedures.

<h3><u>Changes considered to reduce the cost of the project: </u></h3>
Cost Estimates of a Residential Design have the following elements:
1) Quantity Takeoff
2) Labor Hours
3) Labor Rates
4) Material Prices
5) Equipment Costs
6) Subcontractor Quotes
7) Indirect Costs
8) Profit Margin
Quantity Takeoff is the very basic element required in Residential Building. Labor hours and rates depends on the location, work difficulty, market value, and other extrinsic factors. Material prices and Subcontractor Quotes again depends on location, supply and demand. Equipment Costs depends on the location, place of purchase, transportation cost, size of equipment, etc. Indirect costs are overheads for labor and contractors.
As we can check the above elements, we cannot change Quantity takeoff, as no one wants to compromise in the quality. However, we can try to slightly negotiate with Labor rates and Subcontractor Quotes. Again, as mentioned the budget is significantly high, so we need to work on reducing 2 costs, which are Equipment Costs and Material Prices.
Answer:
$133,600
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (cost of asset - salvage value) / number of year
Cost of asset = $340,000 + $14,000 + $40,000 = $394,000
($394,000 - $60,000) / 5 = $66,800
The amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2018 = $66,800 x 2 = $133,600
Answer:
$1,290,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Cash flow to creditors = -$85,000
Cash flow to stockholders = $170,000
Firm’s net capital spending for 2018 = $1,250,000
Firm reduced its net working capital investment by $45,000
Cash Flow from Assets:
= Cash Flow to Creditor + Cash Flow to Stockholders
= -$85,000 + $170,000
= $85,000
Cash Flow from Assets = OCF - Net Capital Spending - Change in Net Working Capital
$85,000 = OCF - $1,250,000 - (-$45,000)
OCF = $85,000 + $1,250,000 - $45,000
= $1,290,000
