olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The fraud was discovered Option D: The operations manager found a check made payable to Phillips while searching Phillips' desk for some accounting records.

Explanation:

In the given case study, Ernie Phillips had got a job as a 'controller'. He had started writing checks to himself other than the payroll checks.

This fraud can be discovered when the operations manager found a check on Phillips desk which was payable to himself and it was other than the payroll check. Thus, Option D is the statement as an answer.

Cancelled checks do not have to do anything with the fraud, as per Option A, because cancelled checks are never cleared in the bank. The receiver doesn't usually receive a call before check clearance. So, Option B is also incorrect. No error was there in the check as stated in Option C.

Your company, which has a MARR of 12%, is considering the following two investment alternatives:

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

future worth:

project A 11,615.26

project B 12,139.18‬

It should choose project B as their future value is greater

IRR of project A: 13.54%

We should remember that the IRR is the rate at which the net value is zero thus, equals the inflow with the cash outlay

It is calculate with excel or financial calculator due to the complex of the formula.

Explanation:

Project A

We calculate the future value of the cash flow per year and cost as we are asked for future value. The salvage value is already at the end of the project life so we don't adjust it.

Revenues future value

$C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\$

C 15,000

time 8

rate 0.12

$15000 \times \frac{(1+0.12)^{8} -1}{0.12} = FV\\$

FV $184,495.3970

Expenses future value

$C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\$

C 3,000

time 10

rate 0.12

$3000 \times \frac{(1+0.12)^{10} -1}{0.12} = FV\\$

FV $52,646.2052

Cost future value

$Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount$

Principal 40,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.12000

$40000 \: (1+ 0.12)^{10} = Amount$

Amount 124,233.93

Net future worth:

-124,233.93 cost - 52,646.21 expenses + 184,495.40 revenues + 4,000 salvage value

future worth 11,615.26

Project B

cost:

$Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount$

Principal 60,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.12000

$60000 \: (1+ 0.12)^{10} = Amount$

Amount 186,350.89

expenses 52,646.21 (same as previous)

revenues

$C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} }{rate} = FV\\$

C 24,000

time 7

rate 0.12

$24000 \times \frac{(1+0.12)^{7} -1}{0.12} = FV\\$

FV $242,136.2815

TOTAL

242,136.28 + 9,000 - 52,646.21 - 186,350.89 = 12,139.18‬

Internal rate of return of project A

we write the time and cash flow for each period.

Time Cash flow

0 -40,000

1 -3,000

2 -3,000

3 12,000

4 12,000

5 12,000

6 12,000

7 12,000

8 12,000

9 12,000

10 16,000

IRR 13.54%

Then we write on excel the function =IRR(select the cashflow)

and we got the IRR of the project

kow [346]

The price elasticity of baseball bats is −0.77, this indicates that the demand for bats tends to inelasticity. Therefore, if the manager wants to dispose of his inventory, he would advise you not to lower the price because it would cause a decrease in income. He could raise the price and earn more since being an inelastic demand, the quantity demanded would not be modified as much as the price would change.
