Answer:
Projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.
Optimal Capital is $5,750,000
Explanation:
The accept-or-reject rule, using the IRR method, is to acceptthe project if its Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is higher than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital(k) [r>k]. The project shall berejected if its internal rate of return is e lower than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital cost of (r<k)
Accept if r>k
Reject if r<k
Mayaccept if r = k
If the Weighted Average Cost of Capitl (WACC) is less than IRRrate, then the project has positive NPV; if it is equal to IRR, theproject has a Zero NPV, and if it is greater than the IRR, theproject has negative NPV.
The projects should be accepted as the rate of return on theproject is higher than the WACC(10.8%) which means that theprojects will be profitable as the returns are higher than the costof the project (capital). Considering this projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.
And considering the sizes the Optimal Capital is $5,750,000 (the addition of sizes of all projects)

Answer:
Option B, an overstatement of net income, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option “B” is correct because when the prepaid expenses occur then it is recorded in the balance sheet on the asset side and the cash will be reduced by the same amount. However, if the prepaid expenses have not been adjusted then it will show the overstatement of net income because cash has been gone so actual cash will be lower than the recoded cash. Thus, option B is right.
