How physical assets valuation and development and research pose risk.​

Business
1 answer:
Alex Ar [27]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The differences between US GAAP and IFRS pose an extra cost because international corporations must prepare two separate accounting statements. But besides that, other potential risks include paying higher taxes than what the companies should pay int their home countries and the uncertainty generated by changing rules.

Not only do current tax rates affect potential investments, e.g. currently companies in the US pay relatively low corporate taxes (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) but these benefits end on 2025. But also different methods for valuating physical assets and R&D costs can represent higher than expected taxes. E.g. depending on a company's needs, it may be beneficial to expense all R&D costs right away, or maybe it would be better to capitalize some of them after technical feasibility is achieved (IFRS).

The main advantage of having uniform rules (e.g. UCC) is that all the companies know exactly what to expect and how to act. Certainty decreases risk, and less risk reduces costs.

Explanation:

In the US, the vast majority of firms use US GAAP as their accounting method, but around the world the IFRS method is used.

Physical asset valuation is the process of determining the value of your physical assets including P, P & E, and also inventories.

  • When valuing inventories IFRS uses FIFO, while US GAAP allows FIFO, LIFO or weighted average costing methods. US GAAP also values inventory at lesser of cost or market value, while IFRS values inventory at lesser of cost or net realizable value.
  • US GAAP uses the cost method to determine the historic cost of an asset, while IFRS uses basically the same method but does not include all the costs of location of the assets (e.g. cost of removing or clearing a facility).
  • US GAAP recognizes non-monetary exchanges while IFRS doesn't.
  • IFRS also allows the cost of asset to be revalued, which can result in unrealized gains or losses. The US GAAP only considers historic costs.
  • There are also other minor differences regarding depreciation, disposals and impairment rules.

Research and development must be expensed right away under US GAAP, while IFRS basically requires the same, it allows some capitalization of development expenditures if certain criteria is met (technical feasibility is achieved).

Kay [80]

Answer: a project

Explanation:

A classic statement regarding project termination and closeout is that the termination of a project is a project. This is because during the project termination stage, many other things are still being done. Project termination stage in a project occurs after the completion of the implementation phase whereby the project deliverables have been given to the client.

The main purpose this stage is to know how well the project team has performed, and also to learn lessons for future purpose. During the project termination and closeout, a final project status report will be prepared and every significant variances has to be explained here after which a project review will be done with the stakeholders and the client. So, the project termination and closeout phase is actually another work on its own.

A manufacturing company leases a building for $100,000 per year for its production facilities. In addition the machinery used in
aksik [14]

Answer:

(E) $30,000

Explanation:

For computing the annual profit, the following formula is used.

Annual Profit = Total revenues - total cost

where,

Total revenue = Number of units × selling price per unit

                        = 10,000 units × $40

                        = $40,000

And, the total cost = lease cost + installment amount + variable cost

                              = $100,000 + $20,000 + ($10,000 units × $15 + $10,000 units × $10)

                              = $120,000 + $250,000

                              = $370,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be equal to

= $400,000 - $370,000

= $30,000

Effectus [21]

Answer:

$12

Explanation:

The standalone price is the price at which the seller (Verma) would sell its products or services (discount coupon) separately to other customers.

to determine the standalone price of the discount coupon we must multiply the change in discount by the expected use of the coupons:

  • change in discount = $150 x (50% - 10%)  = $150 x 40% = $60
  • expected use = 20%

= $60 x 20% = $12
