The value of fixed assets typically decreases over time. The amount of the decrease each year is accounted for and is called depreciation. Depreciation for the year is expensed on the income statement and added to the accumulated depreciation account on the balance sheet. So the value of the fixed assets on the balance sheet is reduced by the accumulated depreciation.

According to ValueLine estimates in Figure 1, James River’s expected an­nu­al dividend growth rate from the 91–93 to 97–99 period is 5.50%, and the next dividend (1995) is expected to be $0.60. Assume that the re­quired return for James River was 8.36% on January 1 1995 and that the 5.50% growth rate was expected to continue indefinitely.

Provision of tax is not percentage of sales and calculates based in income before tax. Since goodwill does not change with sales, it remains at the same level. The percentage increase does not affect the acquired tangible assets so values remain the same. Accounts payable receives adjustments in order to equalize the balance sheet. Common stock will not change with assets and stays the same. The retained earnings increase with the net income for 2008. Accumulated other comprehensive income may not change with sales and is taken at the same level.

The more assets a creditor, lender, or investor can view on a company’s books the more appealing the companies are to the creditor’s, lender’s, or investors. Assets are used to earn the company money in order to pay or pay off its debt. This can cause improper asset valuation of such accounts as: accounts receivable, fixed assets, and or inventory. Considering the complexity of inventory records, management finds inventory as an attractive place to commit financial statement fraud. Inventory is sometimes comprised of larger number items and distributed from several locations making it easier for the improper creation of estimates for slow moving or dated goods. Additionally, management will create non-existing inventory, manipulate the physical count, fail to record the actual purchase, and improperly capitalize inventory, (Colby, n.d).

Although it is non-cash expense, the acknowledgment of depreciation illustrates the loss (decline) in fixed assets value (About, 2010). It is charged against gross profit, which gives an edge in the precision to the net income reported. According to Ben (2007) Income statement profit is relied on for the computation of tax, dividends and investment policies making it more convincing that it does reflects the truth in the entity’s performance. The Keating (1999) journal further expands on the essential of depreciation recognition against profit, stating that it gives a more effective ‘internal decision making and control’ within the entity. While Scot (2004) argues that ‘The depreciation/amortization method, the useful life and the salvage value are all subjective decisions.’ Although this is true; however, depreciation accounts for an insight into what cannot be physically seen but is known to affect profit. Overall, Dickinson concluded that – ‘in other words, every appreciation of assets is a profit & every depreciation is a loss’ (Mac Neal, 1970). Dickinson gives the impression that the physical and non-physical changes in assets, has to be recognised to affect profit in the income statement.

Firstly, with regards to current assets (cash and other assets that are expected to be converted to cash within a year), both the companies amortise their loans and receivables at cost using effective interest method less impairment. Secondly, the value of their inventories in the consolidated financial statement are stated at cost or net realizable value, which is lower. The method used to weigh the value of these inventories at a particular time is determined by the weighted average method. Net realizable value represents the estimate selling price for the inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make a sale. Similarly, prepaid expenses are amortised over their beneficial periods using the straight-line method. Next, the non-current assets (company’s long-term investments where the full value will not be realized within the accounting year) of the companies include: Account receivables which are impaired at each reporting date when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset. And are derecognized when the right to receive the cashflow have expired or the group has transferred its rights to receive cash

The above table the growth Red Bull experienced from 1996 to 2004. The data points with an asterisk next them are based off estimates from information provided throughout the case. In terms of sales the base for the calculation was 170.00 million cans sold which occurred in 1999 after quadrupling from the prior year. There taking 170/4 resulted in approximately 42.5 million cans sold in 1996 and having triple in 1998, resulting in and estimated 28.33 million cans sold in 1997 and 14.16 million sold in 1996. Projection the calculation forward from 2000-2004 the estimated growth rate was 68.84% ((62.00-36.72)/36.72). By applying that growth rate to the 260 million cans sold in 2004, an estimate of 438.98 million cans were sold in the United Kingdom in 2004.
