    Thank you both!

    Yes it does make sense. I was getting confused when they added the WACC to the IRR and the hurdle, but you guys explained it better than the book.

    I got it right however am fuzzy on exactly why I got it right… can anyone explain this one too me:
    A company uses its fixed assets of $1,000,000 at 95% capacity to generate sales of $2,000,000. The company wishes to generate sales of $3,000,000. What amount of additional fixed assets must be acquired, assuming that all fixed assets will operate at maximum capacity?

    Correct A.
    $425,000

    B.
    $475,000

    C.
    $500,000

    D.
    $578,000

    and they ask me why I drink...

    FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
    REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
    BEC- 8/11
    AUD- 9/2

    and another question– why wouldn't you take the discount out of the AR balance?
    Jackson Distributors sells to retail stores on credit terms of 2/10, net 30. Daily sales average 150 units at a price of $300 each. Assuming that all sales are on credit and 60% of customers take the discount and pay on Day 10 while the rest of the customers pay on Day 30, the amount of Jackson's accounts receivable is:

    A.
    $1,350,000.

    B.
    $990,000.

    C.
    $900,000.

    Correct D.
    $810,000.

    10-Day Accounts Receivable:

    Collection Ratio = 10 = Accounts receivable / Average daily sales
    10 = Accounts receivable / ($45,000 x 60%)
    solve for A/R: Accounts receivable = $270,000
    30-Day Accounts Receivable:

    30-day Accounts Receivable:
    Collection ratio = 30 = Accounts receivable / Average daily sales
    30 = Accounts receivable / ($45,000 x 40%)
    solve for A/R: Accounts receivable $540,000
    ——–
    Total Accounts Receivable: $810,000

    and they ask me why I drink...

    Let x be the amount of Fixed Asset needed to generate $3,000,000 of sales

    (95%*$1,000,000)/2,000,000 = x / 3,000,000

    x = 1,425,000

    The company already has $1,000,000 fixed asset, so additional $425,000 is needed.

    @mckan514w That first question is a weird one but $425,000 is correct because you know the company used fixed assets of $950,000 ($1,000,000 @ 95% capacity) to create $2,000,000 in sales, so to have a 150% increase in sales to $3,000,000, fixed assets should also be increased 150% to get $1,425,000 ($950,000 x 150%) of needed fixed assets, of which they already have $1,000,000 so the answer is $425,000.

    As for the second question, you would never take the discount out of the AR balance because a company doesn't know if a client will pay early until they receive a check at which point they would take the full amount out of AR as follows:

    DR Cash XX
    DR Customer Discount Expense XX
    CR Accounts Receivable XX

    Thanks to both of you guys- marqzho's way is how I worked it but Kaymay your explanation seems to click with me more than working the actual problem which is what I needed..

    And duh on the AR part… look below and my 61 in FAR might be better explained ha ha ha ha…. Good grief it is hard keeping everything straight.

    THANKS SO MUCH!

    I don't think “never take the discount out of the AR balance” is an accurate statement. There are two method to record AR and Sales, one is Gross Method and one is Net method. Gross method is what you are referring to in your statement but Net method said you assume all clients take discount. So you record your AR at discount and do the adjustment if your clients don't take the discount.

    But this is for FAR. $810,000 is the best answer here.LOL

    Friends,

    Questions of COSO,Corp Gov which I saw in the BEC exam is sometimes on topics which are not covered in either of study guides which I have..Wiley & NINJA. Applications I understand..they test on our concepts…but some conceptual questions are itself very tricky…

    Any suggestions please, how to go ahead in solving those questions?

    User- the link I posted for you above is from the COSO website- since I have not sat for BEC yet you know way more than I do on the type of questions you saw so figure out why you didn't get them right… to be honest you are ahead of all of us if you remember the COSO questions and why you got them wrong. If you don't know why you got them wrong then I suggest you go through and read up on it. Google COSO and read what you can on it. Thats the best I can offer

    Everyone is different. How long did it take you to study for FAR? I think the norm is 4-5 weeks but that also depends on how many hours you put in.

    Question about ABC method:

    Why were both Separating & Roasting and Packing & Shipping divided by 500 pounds?

    Ugh I suck at ABC– but I think that you divide both by 500 because you are being asked to find out how much it is per pound. So you multiply out the separating and roasting by their driver – machine hours and then divide it by the pounds to get the price per pound… but honestly this is just a guess.

    ABC is so complicated. I like a sample problem if it's using a traditional costing approach. It's so simple. It has only one cost driver.

    Solving ABC is like driving a car with multiple “Know-It-All” drivers with you in a car telling you how, what, and what not to do while turning the steering wheel.
