Answer:

BAUM, UNIDO, and DEPSA all refer to types of project development cycles.

A. The BAUM project lifecycle refers to the World Banks' project development cycle as described by Warren Baum.

The BAUM project life cycle features 6 stages namely:

identification of opportunity
preparation for the project
appraisal of the project
negotiations related to the project
implementation and supervision of the project and
ex-post evaluation

B. UNIDO - The UNIDO model features three major stages which are also broken down into various steps.

Pre-investment phase

This phase is further divided into:

A study of the opportunity presented. This has to do with identifying ideas to be invested in.
Pre-feasibility study. This stage involves the formulation, and selection of project alternatives)

Feasibility study. When the project is selected, then it is tested to economic feasibility.
Submission of report on the evaluation

2. Investment phase

This stage is further broken down into:

Project design stage: At this stage, the criteria for success, and key deliverables are spelt out.
Construction stage (For engineering or building projects)
Pre-production marketing stage

Training of staff
Kick-off stage

3. Operational phase

This is also broken down into:

Replacement of equipment due to wear and tear or upgrade to better technologies

Development, invasion or liquidation states.

C. DEPSA stands for "Development Project Studies Authority".

This variant of the Project Lifecycle also consists of three major stages. They are:

Pre-investment phase
Investment and
Operation

The DEPSA stage is very similar to the UNIDO project life cycle. Both are defined according to an Investment Cycle paradigm and that's the reason why you have pre-investment, investment and operations phase for both methodologies.

Whilst the UNIDO model is more 'universal' in that it speaks to a wide range of businesses including engineering projects, DEPSA seems a little skewed towards engineering projects.

This is evident in the terminologies used in the investment phases. With DEPSA you would notice terms like 'detailed engineering design'

'construction', and 'erection'. The UNIDO the investment phase contains engineering terms but also speaks to 'marketing' and 'training'

While the BAUM project lifecycle contains all the basic stages in the DEPSA and UNIDO life cycles, it holds a universal outlook and seems applicable to both business and engineering projects.

Answer:

Export

True

False

True

Explanation:

Free trade is a form of trade policy where there are no restrictions to imports or exports of goods and services.

The price of meekers is $30 in Meekertown and $40 In the world. Because meeker's are cheaper in Meekertown, it means that Meekertown is efficient in the production of meekers. As a result, they would export meekers to the rest of the world. It would be cost efficient for the rest of the world to import from Meekertown.

Consumers in Meekertown are worse of because of the trade because the price of Meekers would rise.

Producers are better off because they would earn more profits from the sale of Meekers at the world price.

Free trade increases total surplus because of efficient production. If a country is inefficient in production, it would import . This would increase consumer surplus and if it is efficient in production, it would export increasing producer surplus.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

A. It will stay the same.

Explanation:

The formula to compute the dividend yield is shown below:

= (Annual dividend ÷ market price) × 100

Since in the question, it is given that the expected dividend is growing at the constant growth rate i.e 6.50%, so the expected dividend yield will remain the same in the future.

As it shows a direct relationship between the growth rate and the dividend yield plus the market price is growing at a steady rate

A company's flexible budget for the range of 35,000 units to 45,000 units of production showed variable overhead costs of $2 per

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

c. $3,200 favorable.

Explanation:

We know that

Total controllable cost variance = Budgeted overhead cost - actual overhead cost

where,

Budgeted overhead cost = Variable overhead + Fixed overhead

where,

Variable overhead = 40,000 units × $2 = $80,000

And, the fixed overhead = $72,000

So, the budgeted overhead = $152,000

And, the actual one is $148,800

So, the total controllable cost variance would be

= $152,000 - $148,800

= $3,200 favorable
