EnCom Corporation
Stage 1 1. $1,720 (S1)
The beginning investment must cover the Capital Expenditure and the first Inventory purchase. Additional investment of $120 is required in the following period. 2. $2,059.87 (S1) 3. 14.76% (S1) 4. Statement 2 5.
For investment and operations purchases cash flow cannot be ignore but for a corporation’s performance every period the earnings are the best measure. The earnings number is the best matching of revenues and expenses. In cash flow the connection between expense and revenues is distorted.

I consider this to be a neutral approach. It matches the GAAP matching principle by expensing the marketing cost to the period in which the benefits of the marketing are realized. 5. Statement 6

The first method lowers the 1st years ROE while inflating the ROE of the next 2 years.
The second method provides a more balanced ROE throughout.
The third method inflates the ROE of the first three years and significantly lowers the 4th years ROE. 8. The
