...Date Task 1 The investment project in consideration for Fantasy Airlines is worth for £350 million for an estimated ten years of their life. There are majorly two large plane manufacturers Airbus and Boeing, considering the history of safety we decide to pursue Boeing as the supplier of these aircrafts. Since Fantasy Airlines is a public limited company therefore, debt, preferred shares and equity options are available to Fantasy Airlines to finance this fleet purchase. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of all options, we will review our results separately with every option available. Basic investment appraisal techniques that will be used in the analysis will include: • Net Present Value • Accounting Rate of Return • Internal Rate of Return • Payback Period • Profitability Index The following assumptions are necessary for our investment analysis: • Option 1: Cost of capital (in case of debt) = 1.15% • Option 2: Cost of capital (in case of equity) = 1.5% • Option 3: Cost of capital (in case of preferred shares) = 1.25% • Option 4: Weighted average cost of capital (in case of 50% debt, 25% preferred shares and 25% equity) = 1.18% Net Present Value Net present value is capital budgeting technique, which emphasizes that the bottom line net present value should be positive after all obligations are met. Option with highest net present value is the most viable one. The estimated...

...Schneider (1995) documented the fact that the controversy regarding the accounting for goodwill in US and abroad had existed since the early 1900s. The controversy focused on the recognition of goodwill as an asset, on its treatment and its link to the income statement. A search of the accounting literature yields two definitions of goodwill. One is that goodwill is the excess of purchase price over fair value of the net assets acquired. Alternatively, goodwill is defined as the price paid for excess earnings where excess earnings are defined as the difference between the earnings of the acquired asset over the normal earnings for a similar business. Historically, there are three views on the treatment of goodwill. The first suggests that goodwill should be written off immediately against retained earnings. The second view holds that goodwill is a wasting asset and it should be amortized over a useful life. Further, the amount of goodwill amortized should be allocated to periods where it contributes to company’s earnings. Goodwill arises is calculated as the difference between the value of the business as a whole and the aggregate of the fair values of its various identifiable assets both tangible and intangible. As outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 350: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142), Goodwill is “an asset representing future economic benefits...
