Anarel [89]

Complete Question:

Pribuss Engineering prepares its financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards. During 2018, the company incurred the following costs related to a new product design:

Research for New Design $2.4M

DVMPT of New Product $1.3M

Patent Filing Fees $52K

The development costs were incurred after technological and commercial feasibility was established and after the future economic benefits were deemed probable. The project was successfully completed and the new product was patented before the end of the 2018 fiscal year. What amount should Pribuss expense in its 2018 income statement related to the above expenditures?

Answer:

The Research expenses of $2.4M that are written as expense in the Income statement and the Development costs of $1.3M and patent legal fees of $53k are capitalized.

Explanation:

The reason is that the International Standard IAS 38 Intangible Assets says that the expenditure incurred on the research that hasn't entered development phase must be written as expense in the year and the expenditure incurred on the development phase of the research outcomes must be capitalized to the extent it is ready for use. In this case $1.3M is clearly a development cost and patent legal fees of $53k is the expenditure that will prepare the asset and making it ready for use, so it must also be capitalized.

babymother [125]

Therefore options:

Advertising provides consumers with price and quality information about products.
Advertising manipulates people's tastes and can reduce competition.

The only option that considers the cost of advertisement is: The most effective advertising is very expensive and, therefore, wasteful. It refers to the high costs of effective advertisement, and it implies that the money is not used carefully.

Greengage, Inc., a successful nursery, is considering several expansion projects. All of the alternatives promise to produce an

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A. Project A

B. Project A has lowest Standard Deviation

C. Project D

Explanation:

A.

The higher the range, the more risky the project is. Based on the table, project A has the smallest range, and therefore is the least risky based on range.

B.

The standard deviation is not scale-free, i.e. it is not adjusted for the level of returns. Hence, a project that has the same distribution of returns, but a higher average return, will have a higher standard deviation. But the project is not any more risky. Hence, the standard deviation might not be an appropriate measure of risk.

C.

The Coefficient of Variation (CV) is calculated as follows:

CV = Standard deviation / expected return

Applying this formula, the coefficient of variation for each project is:

Project A: 2.9% / 12.0% = 0.242

Project B: 3.2% / 12.5% = 0.256

Project C: 3.5% / 13.0% = 0.269

Project D: 3.0% / 12.8% = 0.23 4

Based on the coefficient of variation, project D has the lowest coefficient. It means that the project has the lowest risk per unit of return generated, and thus is the best project and should be chosen.

An investor holds a 6% callable bond purchased at 105. If the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) rea

myrzilka [38]

Answer: less than the coupon

Explanation:

When a bond that is bought at a premium of 205 is called before the bond matures by the issuer, this implies that the accelerated premium loss will have to be reflected in calculated yield to maturity.

It should also be noted that the YTC is the lowest among the yields for the premium bonds. Therefore, if the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) realized by the investor would be less than the coupon.

Option B is correct.
