Base scenario:
Your company plans to purchase a new machine. Its purchase price is estimated at 500.000 . You plan to use the machine for 5 years. After that period you will be able to sell the used machine for 30.000 . During usage you have to bear costs for maintenance and repair that amount to 10.000 in the first year of usage and increase by 10.000 per year afterwards. Using that machine you could avoid purchasing components from external suppliers which currently cost 250.000 per year. You have calculated the NPV as shown in the following table.
Description of sub-tasks (weights might be different in actual THE!):
1. Calculation (40%)
You want to contrast NPV with another measure and decide to calculate the accounting rate of return for the investment. Make necessary assumptions to convert cash flow figures into cost and revenue figures and calculate the average accounting rate of return.
2. Interpretation/explanation (40%)
Is this an attractive investment? Why or why not?
How would you explain NPV and rate of return to decision makers who are not familiar with these indicators?
3. Conceptual question (20%)
Which non-monetary factors might influence your decision? How would you try to integrate these factors in your analysis?

Raffies Kids, a nonprofit organization that provides aid to victims of domestic violence, low-income families, and special-needs children, has a 30-year, 5% mortgage on the existing building. The mortgage requires monthly payments of $3,000. Raffies bookkeeper is preparing financial statements for the board and, in doing so, lists the mortgage balance of $287,000 under current liabilities because the board hopes to be able to pay the mortgage off in full next year. Of the mortgage principal, $20,000 will be paid next year if Raffies pays according to the mortgage agreement. The board members call you, their trusted CPA, to advise them on how Raffies Kids should report the mortgage on its balance sheet.

US-Russian Relations
Watch the PBS documentary Cuban Missile Crisis: Three Men Go to War (available electronically through the Henry Madden library website). Follow this link below, then log in with your campus username and password to access the video.
https://fod-infobase-com.hmlproxy.lib.csufresno.edu/p_ViewVideo.aspx?xtid=151202&tScript=0
After watching the documentary, go on to the internet and do some reading in newspapers and foreign policy outlets about the current state of US-Russian relations (you should be able to find a ton of these just by typing US-Russian Relations into any search engine; oddly enough you will get different results depending on the search engine you use, so try different search engines and dont just hang on to the first few results, skip around a bit and get a feel for what you think is happening).
Summarize what you think the state is of US-Russian relations (30%). Then discuss whether the history of the US-Soviet relations during the Cold War is helpful for understanding contemporary US-Russian relations and why (30%). Is there a chance that the events of the Cuban Missile Crisis could occur again in the near future? Explain why or why not (40%).
Guidelines
Your paper should be 2 pages long, double-spaced (minimum 500 words).
You should be using a 12 pt font. Anything else is unacceptable.
Margins should be 1 all around.
You should appropriately document all of your sources using either parenthetical references or endnotes. Likewise, a bibliography should appear at the end of your paper (note: endnotes and bibliography do not count toward your total page count).
Your textbook cannot be used as a reference.
Review your work before submitting to ensure your sentences are clear and errors are corrected. Up to 10% (out of a 100 total) may be deducted for writing errors. More credit will be lost for any factual errors.
The final paper should be on Alices Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, or both of thembut I would suggest you choose just oneand will engage with two outside secondary sources of an academic nature. This is the equivalent of the final paper for the course. This should be approximately 4-5 pages, and use correct grammar, mechanics, quoting/citing, etc.
