Answer:

a. Describe how the average accounting return is usually calculated and describe the information this measure provides about a sequence of cash flows. What is the AAR criterion decision rule?

Average accounting return = average net income / average investment

The problem with AAR is that net cash flows are not equal to net income since depreciation expense and changes in net working capital are not accounted for by AAR.

The criterion decision rule is that projects with an AAR above a certain measure.

b. What are the problems associated with using the AAR as a means of evaluating a project’s cash flows? What underlying feature of AAR is most troubling to you from a financial perspective? Does the AAR have any redeeming qualities?

it doesn't consider net cash flows, nor time value of money. Personally, accounting is an extremely important tool but it only reflects a partial perspective of a business. E.g. a business might have a huge net income but if it doesn't have enough cash to function, it will go bankrupt. In finance, cash is king.

Personally, my biggest problem with AAR is that it doesn't consider net cash flows. I've been on situations where the company I worked for was apparently doing great, but our accounts receivables were huge and we couldn't collect money fast enough. My job was basically go to different banks and convince them of loaning us cash. The worst part was that even without being able to collect cash, we still had to pay taxes and that was another huge problem.

I believe that AAR is still used because of its simplicity. Also, taxes are paid based on accounting profits and many firms base they compensation plans on them.

Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

In this case, the ideal is to reject a task that is not mandatory in your contract. The boss's attitude in this situation was somewhat sexist, as it reduced the professional skills of a female investment analyst to having to be liked and serving coffee to bankers, since the professional was there to make a great professional presentation.

These unprofessional attitudes can be combated with an assertive attitude, without the professional feeling cornered by the possibility of suffering reprisals, but it is by maintaining an ethical, professional attitude and imposing respect, that it is possible for such unethical acts to be combated and not accepted any more. formal work environment.
