Assignment Content Managerial accounting can be a complex job. As you learned in this week’s practice assignment, many different calculations need to be completed to assist an organization with its financial statements. Write a 250-word response reflecting on your experience making the calculations from the practice assignment. In your reflection, share your thoughts on the activities within this week’s readings. Consider how calculating financial statements will help drive effective business decisions. Address the following questions within your response: Which calculations were challenging for you? Why? Which ratios were difficult to understand? What will you do differently in the following weeks? If you did not have any challenges, respond to the following questions: What prepared you for these calculations? What advice would you give a classmate who needs assistance? Exam Content For this assignment, refer to the scenario located in “Problems – Series A” section 10-19A of Ch. 10, “Planning for Capital Investments” of Fundamental Managerial Accounting Concepts. This scenario puts you at the task as a Senior Accountant for Donovan Enterprises to identify the preferred method and best investment opportunity for the company. Read the scenario in the textbook and complete the activity below. Use Microsoft® Excel®—showing all work and formulas—to compute the following: Compute the net present value of each project. Round your computations to 2 decimal points. Compute the approximate internal rate of return for each project. Round your rates to 6 decimal points Create a PowerPoint® presentation showing the comparison of the net present value approach with the internal rate of return approach calculated above. Complete the following in your presentation: Analyze the results of the net present value calculations and the significance of these results, supported with examples. Determine which project should be adopted based on the net present value approach and provide a rationale for your decision. Analyze the results of the internal rate of return calculation and the significance of these results, supported with examples. Determine which project should be adopted based on the internal rate of return approach and provide a rationale for your decision. Determine the preferred method in the given circumstances and provide reasoning and details to support the method selected. Synthesize results of analyses and computations to determine the best investment opportunity to recommend to the president of Donovan Enterprises.

The Short-Run and Long-Run Relationship Between Unemployment and Inflation Unemployment and inflation are an economy’s two most important macroeconomic issues. The federal government’s fiscal policy and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy try to maintain both a low unemployment rate around a natural rate and a low inflation rate around 2%.In your Final Paper, Evaluate the historical relationship between unemployment and inflation. (hint: You may start from A.W. Phillips’s finding of the relationship between unemployment and inflation.) Distinguish between the short-run and the long-run in a macroeconomic analysis. Why is the relationship between unemployment and inflation different in the short-run and the long-run? Assess the recent 20-year U.S. unemployment and inflation data. Do the current U.S. unemployment and inflation data confirm the short-run Phillips curve? Analyze why the recent 20-year U.S. unemployment and inflation data approves or disproves the short-run Phillips curve. Evaluate whether the Phillips curve can still validly resolve today’s issue of unemployment and inflation and forecast unemployment and inflation. Why or why not? Recommend any policy, method, or opinions for the current U.S. unemployment and inflation as a policy maker for either fiscal policy or monetary policy (or both). The Short-Run and Long-Run Relationship Between Unemployment and Inflation Final Paper Must be eight to 10 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center APA Style resource (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Must include a separate title page with the following: Title of paper Student’s name Course name and number Instructor’s name Date submitted Must utilize academic voice. Must include an introduction and conclusion paragraph. Your introduction paragraph needs to end with a clear thesis statement that indicates the purpose of your paper. Must use at least five scholarly, peer-reviewed, and other credible sources in addition to the course text. Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Exercise 1In macroeconomics there are two questions that serve as foundation to any subsequent analysis: 1) how to measure (real) output growth? and 2) how is growth connected to wellbeing? As for the first question, there are three ways that can be done, starting with the basic definition of percentage difference between two numbers, say x1 compared to x0. For the economy, the focus is on real GDP growth, which holds prices constant on a given year (base year) the then apply them before, during, and after that year in order to calculate the total dollar value of all goods and services produced (i.e. we need prices to add up quantities in dollar terms). The second question refers to a mapping from goods and services, to subjective well‐being. Yes, there is a way. Work out the algebraic steps to: (1) go from the first to the second equation in slide 8; (2) from that same top equation in slide 8 to the one in slide 9; and (3) show the relationship in slide 10.
