Answer:(a): I will challenge my sponsor.

(c). The sponsor might have little knowledge about the project.

Explanation:

(a). Challenging sponsors: as a project manager, i am to continuosly challenge my sponsor.

(b). Challenging the sponsor can lead to disagreement and face off but this will make the sponsor to understand that he has a role to play, and he should not ' mess up ' the project.

My second alternative is to report this to the executive steering committee for resolution. This will make the resolution to be resolved quickly although it might cause serious harm to the company.

(c). The supervisor might not have enough technical knowledge about the project

OR

He might be occupied with other activity and may not be devoted to sponsorship

OR

Some company may want sponsors who have no knowledge about the project.

You are the payables accountant for a medium sized electrical contracting company. You are paying bills with purchase discounts
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Memo

To: The Finance Manager

From: The Payables Accountant

Subject: Bank Loan to Pay Suppliers

Date: October 5, 2020

The above subject on our previous discussion refers.

This memo clarifies the advantage of borrowing from our bank the sum of $100,000 in order to offset the account of our supplier who has offered us the trade terms of 2/10, n/30.

Recall that the bank loan's interest rate is 6% per annum.  If we borrow within the month and repay 30 days after, the interest cost will be $500 ($100,000 * 6%/12).

You can compare this to the discount we shall receive from the supplier totaling $2,000 ($100,000 * 2%).  We can even extend the bank loan to 2 months, thereby paying a total interest cost of $1,000 ($500 * 2).

The implication is that we shall be making some gains by taking advantage of the cash discount.  May you approve the loan based on this clarifications.

Regards,

Tony Ohagwam

Explanation:

This memorandum attempts to justify the request for a bank loan in order to settle the bill of one of our company's suppliers.  It demonstrates the huge financial benefits that are implicit in accepting cash discounts from suppliers.

Honeycutt Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 12,700 shares of stock and $109,250 in debt.
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Check the following calculations

Explanation:

All-Equity Plan:

Number of shares = 15,000

Plan I:

Number of shares = 12,700

Value of debt = $109,250

Price per share = Value of debt / (Number of shares under All-Equity Plan - Number of shares under Plan I)

Price per share = $109,250 / (15,000 - 12,700)

Price per share = $109,250 / 2,300

Price per share = $47.50

Plan II:

Number of shares = 9,800

Value of debt = $247,000

Price per share = Value of debt / (Number of shares under All-Equity Plan - Number of shares under Plan II)

Price per share = $247,000 / (15,000 - 9,800)

Price per share = $247,000 / 5,200

Price per share = $47.50
