Answer to question 2:
Real estate investment organization deals in ownership, purchase, rental, management
and sales of real assets for the purpose of making profits. The real value of entire
organization is driven by management of an opportunity by viewing unique challenges and
needs of developers, investors, property and businesses (Wang et al. 2014).
The main benefits of real estate business developers is the generation of income
stream as the property is easily convertible into rental units and income can also be earned in
the form of rent. Investors can himself utilize the property that is one of the important reasons
that has attracted investment into the real estate business. Value of property does not tend to
fluctuate compared to other assets such as bonds and stocks and therefore owning property
offers a sense of interest (Patten 2015). However, a thorough research is required to be
conducted before making investment in real estate.
Structure of real estate developers comes with several drawbacks in terms of property
tax, cost of maintenance and legal difficulties. Valuation of property should incorporate the

14ACCOUNTING FOR MANAGEMENT DECISIONS
property tax that has considerable impact on the profits earned by organization. Property
maintenance cost is also one of the drawbacks of the real estate investor as it causes them to
lose money (Cooke et al. 2017).
Real estate business has attracted many parties attention for the past few decades.
Many investors are interested in making direct investment in real estate companies and direct
investment involves purchasing of commercial and residential property that would be used as
for reselling at future time and an income purchasing assets. Developers, corporate occupiers
and consumers are the users who would be attracted in making investment into the country
(Arena et al. 2015).
The structure of established real estate company is the joint venture that is a general
partnership foe which the deal would be limited to single real estate deal.
Answer to question 3:
The collapse of building resulting in injuries and death and lead to destabilizing the
foundation. If the natural impacts such as occurrence of earthquake and its impact on the
business conditions are quantified, it would be easier to conduct the costing and financial
analysis. Converting of impact of natural factors on the financial and environmental aspects
of business can be seen in terms of overall business conditions (Ortas et al. 2015). It is
essential for organization to have proper accounting for environmental costs as in the given
case that is the damaging impact of earthquake on building should be accounted for in terms
of numbers. Now a day, it is important for companies to increase their responsibility towards
all the aspects of environment and causing less environmental damage for adapting to
existing practices. The way business makes decision is an important factor impacting the
environment and it is important to understand how the corporate decision making is
influenced by requirement of performance accountability and business accounting system.

15ACCOUNTING FOR MANAGEMENT DECISIONS
Relation between the managerial behaviour and feasible measures of accountability has
always been problematic. Furthermore, the environmental objective of company can be
expressed by setting targets such that it is possible to measure the performance and
environmental targets and the same should be reported in quantifiable financial or technical
terms. Accounting system of organization would be benefitted in the pursuit of identified
environmental objectives; actions are taken on amount and detail of nature of incurred
expenditures. The financial implications of the environmental factors should be quantified so
that it would be suitable for organization to make proper reporting of its environmental
impact (Ortas et al. 2015). It is also so because it would account to environmental investment
by organization.
