- Hi! I find these two difficult. Can you please answer both of them for me? You can add an explanation if you want. Thank you! I would really appreciate it. If plotted on a graph (X-axis: time; Y-axis: ₱), the depreciation charges under the straight-line method would show a. a downward line sloping to the left. b. an upward line sloping to the right. c. a curvilinear line sloping here and there. d. a straight-line. At the end of the period, Entity A has taxable temporary difference of ₱100,000. Entity A’s income tax rate is 30%. Entity A’s statement of financial position would report which of the following? a. 30,000 income tax expense b. 30,000 deferred tax liability c. 30,000 deferred tax asset d. 30,000 deferred tax expensearrow_forwardIn a developing country, two alternatives are under consideration for delivering water from a mountainous area to an arid area in the country’s southern region. A coated heavy-gauge plastic pipeline can be installed,with pumps spaced appropriately along the pipeline. Alternatively, a canal can be built; however, it will have greater water loss than the pipeline, due to evaporation and poaching along the canal route. To compensate for the water loss, the canal will have a greater carrying capacity than the pipeline. It is estimated it will cost $125 million to install the pipeline. Major replacements are planned every 15 years at a cost of $10 million. Pumping and other annual operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be $5million. The canal will cost $200 million to construct; its annual operating and maintenance costs are anticipated to be $1 million. Major upgrades of the canal are anticipated every 10 years, at a cost of $5 million. Based on a five percent MARR and an…arrow_forwardPlease answer Part C. Refer to the images to answer C A mining company is considering a new project. Because the mine has received a permit, the project would be legal; but it would cause significant harm to a nearby river. The firm could spend an additional $11 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental Problem, but it would not be required to do so. Developing the mine (without mitigation) would cost $69 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $23 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $24 million. The risk-adjusted WACC is 14%. A. Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. Enter your answer for NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Do not round intermediate calculations.

- In this problem you will examine competing plans for the stewardship of the reefs of Jaxaland. The first plan is to protect the reefs of Javaland by means of a marine park. The marine park requires an initial investment in buildings and boats and recurring expenses for park guards, fuel and so on. The benefits of the marine park would come from increased tourism that the park could sustain beyond what would normally be possible without such park management. The second project envisions large-scale and rapid mining of Jaxaland's reefs for limestone. The reef would be mined and the limestone sold in the first year. Unfortunately, the reef destruction that results from the mining would cause increased beach erosion, and this would be a direct cost for the economy. The spreadsheet on the next page states all the costs and benefits of the two projects over the next ten years (an eternity by Jaxaland standards). Your job is to determine which project is the best.

- In the texts provided about the major national/ international issues/problems and their possible approaches I don't wanna read the entirety text so can someone make summarize the major points of this text 3. SWITZERLAND SWISS ALPS IS VULNERABLE TO CLIMATE CHANGE: Switzerland Swiss Alps attracts lots of tourists around the world and climate change and the Swiss Alps are delicate as because of climate change summers are expected to keep getting warming and drier, rising temperatures already cause rock falls as permafrost zones are now melting in which can be direct threats to villages. POSSIBLE APPROACH: Switzerland is taking many measures to protect the environment and prevent climate change as Switzerland is working on decreasing its CO2 footprint, for example by making the right choices for transportation and by recycling waste. But the country is also fighting the problems that climate change already caused, and is preparing for future climate change.arrow_forwardIn the aftermath of Hurricane Thelma, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is considering two alternative approaches to protect a freshwater wetland from the encroaching seawater during high tides. The first alternative, the construction of a 5-mile long, 20-foot-high levee, would have an investment cost of $25,000,000 with annual upkeep costs estimated at$725,000. A new roadway along the top of the levee would provide two major benefits: (1) improved recreational access for fishermen and (2) reduction of the driving distance between the towns at opposite ends of the proposed levee by 11 miles. The annual benefit for the levee has been estimated at $1,500,000. The second alternative, a channel-dredging operation, would have an investment cost of $15,000,000. The annual cost of maintaining the channel is estimated at $375,000. There are no documented benefits for the channel-dredging project. Using a MARR of 8% and assuming a 25-year life for either alternative, apply the incremental B–C…arrow_forwardthe significance of protecting the environment.arrow_forward
- You are an accountant at a large research university. The controller is considering switching its accounting policy so that it is in line with other universities. The current policy requires all assets be depreciated on a straight-line basis with no salvage value and a full year of depreciation taken in the year of acquisition regardless of the acquisition date. The proposed policy would require all asset depreciated on a straight-line basis with no salvage value and depreciation taken based on the nearest full month from the acquisition date. The data provided shows all assets that are in use even though some assets have already been fully depreciated. The controller has provided a dashboard visualization that shows the differences between the two depreciation policies for the period ending December 31, 2018 and asks you to answer the questions below.
