Post-investment audits

  2. Serve as a control mechanism.
  3. Allow the outcome of a project to be evaluated as soon as possible.
  4. Deter managers from proposing profitable investments.

Answer(s): B

The accounting rate of return

  1. Is synonymous with the internal rate of return.
  2. Focuses on income as opposed to cash flows.
  3. Is inconsistent with the divisional performance measure known as return on investment.
  4. Recognizes the time value of money.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The accounting rate of return (also called the unadjusted rate of return or book value rate of return) is calculated by dividing the increase in accounting net income by the required investment. Sometimes the denominator is the average investment rather than the initial investment. This method ignores the time value of money and focuses on income as opposed to cash flows.

When using the net present value method for capital budgeting analysis1 the required rate of return is called all of the following except the

  1. Risk-free rate.
  2. Cost of capital.
  3. Discount rate.
  4. Cutoff rate.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The rate used to discount future cash flows is sometimes called the cost of capital, the discount rate, the cutoff rate, or the hurdle rate. A risk1ree rate is the rate available on risk-free investments such as government bonds. The risk-free rate is not equivalent to the cost of capital because the latter must incorporate a risk premium.

The study package is helpful in passing your exam since the practice questions are copied from real exam. But in order to learn the modules in details you need books.
