As Charlie wrapped up the meeting, he ticked off a few key reminders for everyone involved in the asset identification project. “Okay, everyone, before we finish, please remember that you should try to make your asset lists complete, but be sure to focus your attention on the more valuable assets first. Also, remember that we evaluate our assets based on business impact to profitability first, and then economic cost of replacement. Make sure you check with me about any questions that come up. We will schedule our next meeting in two weeks, so please have your draft inventories ready.” Will the company get useful information from the team it has assembled? Why or why not?

Following a tendering process your firm has recently been appointed external auditor of Dazzle Ltd (Dazzle) for the year ending 31 July 20X1. The audit engagement letter is still to be signed. The previous auditor did not seek reappointment. Your firm has also been invited to provide tax planning and compliance work for the company.

Explanation In the first example, your initial amount of money is $200, which enable you to invest in the first, second, fourth and fifth project that needs only $200 each. By establishing these four projects apart, the investor will have $200*4 (profit) +$200 (initial basic) = $1000. This amount of money will enable the establishment the 3rd project that needs $500 of investment to gain $200 of profit. Finally, to calculate the overall profit, you have collected $1200, where $200 of them are the initial basic and hence the profit is $1200 - $200 = $1000. In the second example, your initial amount of money is $150, which enable you to invest in the 3rd project only. By doing so, your budget will increases to $200 and hence be able to invest in the 1st project to again increase your budget to $290. However, this is not enough to invest in the 3rd project. Finally, you collected $290, where $150 of them are the initial basic and hence the profit is $290 - $150 = $140. """ I want…
