Suggested Answer: C

Choice 'c' is correct. The most logical sequence in planning and controlling capital expenditures is to begin with identifying capital addition projects and other capital needs.

Choice 'a' is incorrect. Analyzing capital addition proposals omits other capital needs.

Choice 'b' is incorrect. Analyzing and evaluating all promising alternatives is beyond the scope of planning and controlling capital expenditures.

Choice 'd' is incorrect. Developing capital budgets is the same as planning and controlling capital expenditures.

I bet the Keego Company wishes they had a crystal ball for this one. Time to put on my accounting wizard hat and figure this out.

Oof, the projected cash flows look like a roller coaster ride. I hope the Keego Company has a strong stomach for these kinds of investments!

Alright, let's see... the correct answer has to be the one that makes the least sense, right? Just kidding, I'm going to focus and get this one right.
