B is a horticultural retailer with limited funds available to acquire new retail property.
B's Finance Manager has analysed two potential property investments. Investing in property P shows an IRR of 21% while the IRR on property Q is 17%.
The Finance Manager has also advised that the NPV for property P is $750K, while the NPV of property Q is
$850K.
The Board needs to choose between the two properties as it has insufficient funds for both. Based purely on the Finance Manager's analysis, which of the following is true?

As part of risk assessment exercise for a low-cost airline you are requested to match the risks listed below with the most approriate method of minimising or dealing with each risk.

YHJ is considering an investment in a project that will cost $20 million. Annual fixed costs will be $12 million per year, excluding depreciation. Annual sales are forecast at 5 million units, with a contribution per unit of
$8. After five years the equipment will be worn out and YHJ will have to spend $50 million on disposal costs.
The discount rate is 10%.
Calculate the sensitivity of the net present value of this project to a 20% increase in the disposal costs.

YGH has recently completed a post completion audit on a five year contract that has only recently come to a conclusion. The main finding was that the project delivered most of the expected benefits, but that it cost significantly more to implement than had been anticipated at the project appraisal stage. YGH would not have proceeded if the true cost had been known at that stage.
The project was the responsibility of the production department, which is presently managed by G.
When the project was proposed, the production department was managed by H.
H is now YGH's Director of Operations.
How should the finding from this post completion audit be interpreted?

Smalltown had a problem with people parking cars on the town's mam shopping streets instead of in the nearby car parks The parked cars created congestion and made it difficult for delivery vehicles to unload Smalltown's local government had employed traffic wardens to enforce parking regulations by issuing parking fines to motorists who parked for more than the permitted 30 minutes.
The local government took further action to deal with this problem It banned parking on the busiest streets, it introduced parking charges in the remaining streets and it made it free to park m the town's car parks for up to two hours Fewer people now park cars on the streets because of the charges, but those who do generate significant revenues for the local government Fewer traffic wardens are required and so wage costs have reduced The local goverment auditors have decided to carry out a value for money audit of the parking system Which of the following is a measure of effectiveness?
