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.
Answer:
B. immediately recall the product.
Explanation:
If a safety issue is identified in one of my product as a company owner, the first thing to do is to immediately recall the product. Recalling means asking people that are currently in charge of the product to return it in order to determine the ROOT CAUSE of the issue.
Once the product is recalled, then further investigation can be carried out. First is to determine what might be the root cause of the issue. This is done by questioning those that are in charge of the production processes. After different and diverse answers to questions, then I can streamline the answers to those we considered as the root cause of the problem to minimum before proffering necessary measures to be carried out in order to prevent the issue from occurring in the future.
The next step will be the implementation of the measures. If the measures that were put in place were able to solve the safety issue, then we can document and validate it so that can it can be referenced to in future in case of similar occurrence.
Answer:
a) $19610 credit
Explanation:
Given: Accounts receivables as on Dec 1, 2017 = $12770
Credit sale during the month = $34200
Collections during the month = $27360
Accounts Receivable balance at the end of the month = Opening Accounts Receivable balance + credit sales during the month - cash collected during the month
= $12770 + $34200 - $27360
Accounts Receivable balance as on Dec 31, 2017 = $19610 credit

Answer: $42000
Explanation:
Saginaw's foreign tax credit on its 2018 tax return will be calculated thus:
= Foreign source taxable income × precredit U.S tax/Taxable income
= 200000 × 105000/500000
= 200000 × 0.21
= 42000
Therefore, the foreign tax credit will be the least between $60,000 paid to the German government or $42000. In this case, the answer is $42000
