In order to support decision making, management accounting information categorizes costs in a variety of ways.
Responsibility accounting primarily distinguishes between costs on the basis that they are either:

A company is considering four mutually exclusive projects. There are three possible future demand conditions but the company has no idea of the probability of each of these demand conditions occurring. The forecast net present values (NPVs) of each of the four projects, under each of the three possible future demand conditions, are as follows.

Using the maximax criterion, which investment should be selected?

A company comprises several divisions.
One of these divisions was originally expected to earn an operating profit next year of $800,000 on net assets of $4 million.
However, the divisional manager is considering investing in a project that would generate a project return on investment (ROI) of 38% on additional net assets of $500,000.
What would be the divisional ROI next year if the project was implemented?

To which technique for dealing with risk and uncertainty do ALL of the following statements apply?
* It requires that only one factor is considered at a time.
* It identifies areas which are crucial to a project, which can then be monitored if the project is chosen.
* It does not provide an indication of the likelihood of any change in the factors.
* Following the calculation, it requires the exercising of judgement to decide whether to accept or reject a project.

A company has a maximum of $2 million to invest and has identified four viable projects, E, F, G and H.
The initial investment for each of the projects is the maximum amount that can be invested in the project, but any amount up to the maximum can be invested. The projects are divisible.
The projects have been evaluated using net present value, as below. All figures are $ millions.

In which project should the company invest $2 million?
