Answer: Whether the costs are variable or fixed and whether they are directly traceable to the responsibility center.
Explanation:
The Responsibility Income Statement is one where the different centers in a business have their own sub income statement so that the activities of each center and their profitability is measured and monitored.
In this statement, costs are classified as Variable and Fixed so it is important that it is known whether the costs are variable or fixed.
As the statements are per center, the costs in them would have to be only those that are directly traceable to that center so that a truer reflection of the statements can be seen.
Answer:
D) Project importance is enhanced by setting authority equal to that of functional departments.
Explanation:
A matrix organization is characterized by, multiple command system and overlapping of command, control and behavioral pattern.
Here, temporary project groups are created so as to handle short term projects. Personnel are drawn from functional department and their activities are controlled and coordinated by a project manager.
Once a project is completed, the structure is disbanded and the personnel return to their original departments i.e functional department.
During the project duration, a person is responsible and reports to two bosses, one being the project manager and secondly to the functional boss. Thus, under such a structure exists dual reporting.
Under matrix structure for project management, the project manager is not allowed to use resources exclusively for the project i.e like in project management. Rather, such a manager is required to share resources with the organization.

Answer:
c) $5.68
Explanation:
The worth of this stock today is the present value of the future dividends which is computed by discounting future dividends as well as the terminal value using the required rate of return of 14.5% as the appropriate discount rate as shown thus:
Year 1 dividend=$.65
Year 2 dividend=$0.70
Year 3 dividend=$0.75
terminal value of dividends=Year 3 dividend*(1+g)/Ke-g
g=dividend terminal growth rate=2%
Ke=required rate of return=14.5%
terminal value of dividends=$0.75*(1+2%)/(14.5%-2%)=$ 6.12
Share price=$.65/(1+14.5%)^1+$.70/(1+14.5%)^2+$.75/(1+14.5%)^3+$6.12/(1+14.5%)^3
share price=$5.68
