Another reason is that Oman International has very few current liabilities compared to Oman National and it does not have inventories. This gives Oman International an upper hand for investors to be attracted to it. However, the difficulty in evaluating and using non-financial information in investment appraisal resulting from challenges in translating the nonfinancial data into monetary terms causes managers to underestimate the importance of non-financial factors. For instance, Adler (2000) argued that the intangibility and lack of measurability of non-financial factors often makes their analysis subjective resulting in many organizations failing to realize the important contribution of nonfinancial information in the economic analysis of business projects. Bhimani and Langfield-Smith (2007) postulated that the reason why non-financial factors are rarely considered in project appraisal is as a result of a lack of an analytic framework which would provide awareness on the important of non-financial information and guidelines for their incorporation in project appraisals.

Nonetheless, financial decision making can take into consideration the subjective interpretation of non-financial factors since it is still a challenge in the estimation and quantification of non-financial information in project appraisals. One of the non-financial factors includes organizational strategy. Lastly, past and future trends are likely to impact the potentiality of an investment. If the cash flows has been increasing or decreasing in the past, managers will be guided on how to make decisions (Bhimani & Langfield-Smith 2007). Task 4: Investment Advice Based on market share Oman National shows a high book value of 2. and earnings per share of 0. than Oman International that has a book value of 0. Task 4: Demand Product A has lower fixed costs than product B while Product B has lower variable cost per unit than product A.

In times of high demand Product B will earn more profit because the cost per unit of production is low so it can produce more products easily. In times of low demand product A seems profitable because the fixed costs are low even if the sales price per unit will reduce than product B. On the other hand, both products can operate simultaneously since the variable costs in one is covered (same) as fixed costs in the other. Task 5: The Role of BEP in Business Decision Making. In other words, for a company to attain the BEP, it should be able to reach a point where the sales or revenues produced must equal all of its expenses. Therefore, at the BEP, the company should make neither a loss nor a profit.

Hence, the calculation of the BEP enables the manager to know whether the costs of producing a certain volume of products is sufficiently covered by the revenues generated from the sale of those products or services. Subsequently, the BEP information in the CVP can be used by the management in making decisions such as pricing, development of competitive bids, and the evaluation of viable financing plans. Similarly, at the economic perspective, the BEP enables the manager to understand the volume of goods at which the decision of the manager in regard to the CVP would be indifferent. Additionally, the BEP helps the business to realize the margin contribution each product or service makes to the total profit making the manager to easily decide the profitability or the unprofitability of a new product or service in due time before the company’s profit margins are adversely affected (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Kieso 2011).

Question 3 Task 1: ARR Calculations Investment 1 Investment 2 Annual depreciation = RO( 260,000- 20,000)/5 = RO 48,000 Annual depreciation = RO( 180,000 – 15,000)/5 = RO 33,000 Average accounting = RO (64000-48000) = RO 16,000 Average accounting = RO (50,000-33,000) = RO 17,000 ARR = RO ( 16,000/260,000) ARR = RO ( 17,000/180,000) ARR = 6. ARR= 9. Task 2: ARR Rule, Merits and Demerits The Accounting Rate of Return, a derivative of accounting information, incorporates all accounting data used in the determination of profitability. Conversely, for the ARR, all the calculated accounting profits are determined from assumptions, and which include the non-cash items. Ignores the economies of scale of a project. ii. ARR separates individual investments and may not record the effect of a project to the entire organization both effectively and ineffectively. iii. It does not consider the risk in long term projects which is presumed to be a higher risk (Magni and Peasnell, 2012).
