YGH has recently completed a post completion audit on a five year contract that has only recently come to a conclusion. The main finding was that the project delivered most of the expected benefits, but that it cost significantly more to implement than had been anticipated at the project appraisal stage. YGH would not have proceeded if the true cost had been known at that stage. The project was the responsibility of the production department, which is presently managed by G. When the project was proposed, the production department was managed by H. H is now YGH's Director of Operations.
How should the finding from this post completion audit be interpreted?

  1. YGH should consider introducing more detailed checking of the assumptions underlying the costs of future projects.
  2. The production department should not be granted funding for future projects unless there are compelling reasons to proceed.
  3. G should be held accountable for the overspend on the project.
  4. H should be held accountable for the overspend on the project.

Answer(s): A



A UK based company is considering an investment of GB£1,000,000 in a project in the US

    Currently GB£1.00 is worth US$1.30.
    The expected inflation rates in the two countries over the next four years are 2% in the UK and 4% in the US. Applying the Purchasing Power Parity Theory, which of the following represents the expected net present value of the project in GP£ (to the nearest whole pound)?
  2. GB£287,639
