For Beer Chang, 0 (15000) × 1 = (15000) PVIFA (r=10%) n 1-10 3000 × 6.145 = 18435 10 1500 × 0.386 = 579 NPV = 4014 For EduCare, 0 (10,000) × 1 = (10000) 1 (500) × 0.909 = (454.5) 2 1500 ×0.826 = 1239 3 2500 × 0.751 = 1877.5 4 3500 × 0.683 = 2390.5 5 4500 × 0.621 = 2794.5 6 5500 × 0.564 = 3102 7 6000 × 0.513 = 3078 8 5400 × 0.467 = 2521.8 9 4400 × 0.424 = 1865.6 10 2000 × 0.386 = 772 9186.4 Due to NPV method, the final results show that both investments show positive answer and are possible.

... Reference: BTEC Group B Subject: How managing the resources of the organisation and effective budgetary control can improve the performance of a business. Introduction: In this report I will be speaking about how managing the resources of an organisation and effective budgetary control can lead to improved performance of a business. Findings/ Main Body: As I have talked about with you before, managing the resources of an organisation and looking closely at its budgetary control is absolutely vital in business. It improves performance over every department and gives the business management team a clear view on where they can expand and develop in the future. Every public limited company that allows people to buy shares within their business must publish their accounts so that investors can see how well they are doing and judge whether or not to buy their shares on the stock exchange. All the top dog companies have a clear view on their resources and budgets; this is evident from Tesco who have lists of all their resources and a clear cash flow all on one financial statement. They made profits of over £2 billion in 2005 and this tells us that managing budgets and resources well really does improve businesses performance. Managing resources of an organisation improves performance as it gives more cash flow, providing you cut back on unnecessary resources; this gives more to re-invest or to pay off liabilities. E.g. If John Lewis...

Desai HISTORICALLY, the finance functions in large U.S. and European firms have focused on cost control, operating budgets, and internal auditing. But as corporations go global, a world of finance opens up within them, presenting new opportunities and challenges for CFOs. Rather than simply make aggregate capital-structure and dividend decisions, for example, they also have to wrestle with the capital structure and profit repatriation policies of their companies’ subsidiaries. Capital budgeting decisions and valuation must reflect not only divisional differences but also the complications introduced by currency, tax, and country risks. Incentive systems need to measure and reward managers operating in various economic and financial settings. The existence of what amounts to internal markets for capital gives global corporations a powerful mechanism for arbitrage across national financial markets...

...HCA240 September 3, 2012 Determining Financial Viability What’s the difference – Finance and accounting, accounting and finance? Accounting is a necessary input and subfunction to finance (World Academy, n.d.). The treatment of funds and decision making, relate to the primary distinction between accounting and finance. Finance and accounting are not the same, but accounting is concerned with financial records, while finance relies on accounting reports and data base. The future depends on past events as pointers. The principles of accounting organize and prepare financial statements for an organization (Cleverly, 2011). The success to any business is critical from both accounting and finance. Accounting is knowledge and finance is the know what to do with that knowledge. Viability is about being able to generate sufficient income to meet the commitments, debts, payments, and where applicable, to all or growth while maintaining service levels in a health Care organization. Both accounting and finance are different; however, they have a close relationship to each other. Accounting involves the preparation of a balance sheet, which at a certain date will reflect on the financial position of an organization (Let’s learn finance, n.d.). Accounting shows the profit or loss of an organization during the year with concerns of recording of business transactions of a company, then presenting it in a profit and loss account. On the broader end of this concept, finance makes use...

...necessary for managing a successful business. The fact that organizations are made of people the management structure must accomplish its objectives by working through the people. Since the director’s of companies cannot execute their company’s strategies on their own, they have to rely on people and thus create an organization structure that allows decentralization of management responsibilities. According to Hoskin & Macve (1990, pg. 17), management invented modern business. Early forms of management accounting integrated both decision-making and analysis, going beyond financial and operational performance data. Chandler stated that before managerial, there was no equivalent of the modem multi-unit organization as there was nothing remotely like the divisional Wed corporation (Chandler 1977, pg.18). Chandler states that the managerial revolution invents something new which it is frequently misunderstood as the "modern business enterprise". This did nothing less than overturn the old economic world which is a world within which he tells much basic economic theory is still distressingly rooted. The new form of management was accelerated by industrial revolutions in the 19th century. After the 20th century the impending requirements by financial accounting in most organizations developed new pressures placed on the capital markets, creditors and taxation (Schaltegger et al 2006, pg. 72). Decentralization involves the distribution of decision-making authority within...

...administrators of the business. For a business to succeed, managers are assigned different functions in the most vital departments of the business (Cook & Macaulay, 2013). These departments include human resource, finance, marketing and, operations. The departments oversee the critical segments of the business allowing the business to run smoothly with the help of managers who have specified roles for each department. The roles of the managers in each department are unique considering the difference in the requirements and activities of the departments. The functional areas of a business are run by managers who are responsible for all activities and provide reports to the main governing body of the business. The role of managers in all functional areas of the business is critical for the success of the business (Cook & Macaulay, 2013).. The human resource of the business is an important department because it deals one-on-one with employees of the organization. The purpose of human resource is essentially to reinforce the relationship of employees and their employers. The manager is therefore expected to foster the goal of human resource in a business (Suttle, 2014). The manger is responsible for the competence of all employees of the business. The role of a manger in the human resources department ensures competence of employees through recruiting and training able persons for the vacancies in the business. The manager ensures that all needs of employees in terms of compensation...

BLURB: If we are to compete in a dynamic business world; if we are to provide our decision makers with transparent information; if we are create value for our customers; then we must be bold and objectively reevaluate our management practices; we must adopt a management philosophy that mirrors the way the business world behaves! "I dreamed a thousand new paths... I woke and walked my old one" Chinese Proverb Information is the lifeblood of an organization. Information is also one of the most improperly used tools in managing a firm. Organizations become mesmerized with information organized and analyzed according to generally accepted practices and processed with the latest state-of-the-art software. This “formula for success” puts blinders on managers and prevents organizations from viewing information in innovative ways. If an organization is to prosper, it must ask itself if it needs an information transformation. An information transformation begins by challenging the myths that freezes an organization into inactivity and distorts an organization’s culture. Some of the most egregious management myths include the following: Myth 1 Accounting information fairly represents business facts—Today’s financial information...
