Redline Publishers, Inc. creates a wide range of publications, from computer software instruction manuals to guides detailing how to set up and run massive industrial machines. The company's financial statement showed total assets of $62 million and total liabilities of $40 million as of the end of the previous year.. There was an increase of around 3 percent from the previous year in the income statement's net income of $1.1 million for 2016. The company's effective tax rate is 30%. Several investments were made to upgrade the production equipment of the firm at the end of 2016. The company's materiality level for such expenses is $750, hence none of these expenses were capitalized. Despite the fact that the overhauls prolonged the equipment's useful life, the costs were deducted rather than capitalized. The controller of the corporation, John Henderson, is concerned about how the overhaul costs will be handled. Despite the fact that no one expense went beyond the'materiality'…

JW Office Supplies, Inc., is a wholesale distributor of office supplies. It sells pencils and pens, paper goods (including computer paper and forms), staplers, calendars, and other items, excluding furniture and other major items such as copy machines that you would expect to find in an office. Sales have been growing at 5 percent per year during the past several years. Mr. Kay, the president of JW Office Supplies, recently attended a national office supplies convention. In conversations during that convention, he discovered that sales for ABC Office Supplies competitors have been growing at 15 percent per year. Arriving back home, he did a quick investigation and discovered the following: JW Office Supplies customer turnover is significantly higher than the industry average. JW Office Supplies vendor turnover is significantly lower than the industry average. The new market analysis system was supposed to be ready two years ago but has been delayed for more than one year in systems development. A staff position, reporting to the president, for a person to prepare and analyze cash budgets was created two years ago but has never been filled. Mr. Kay has called on you to conduct a systems survey of this situation. You are to assume that a request for systems development has been prepared and approved. The information system at JW Office Supplies is much like that depicted in Chapters 10 through 16. Make and describe all assumptions that you believe are necessary to solve any of the following: a. What are the specific tasks of this systems survey? b. Indicate specific quantifiable benefits and costs that should be examined in assessing the economic feasibility of any solutions that might be proposed. Explain how you would go about quantifying each benefit or cost. c. Propose and explain three different scopes for the systems analysis. Use a context diagram to describe each scope alternative. Hint: What subsystems might be involved in an analysis?
Costco is the largest chain of membership warehouse clubs in the world based on sales volume, and it is the fifth largest general retailer in the United States. Costco focuses on selling products at low prices, often at a very high volume. These goods are usually bulk-packaged and marketed primarily to large families and businesses. Costco became the first company to grow from zero to 3 billion in sales in less than six years. In a recent fiscal year, Costcos sales totaled 76.3 billion, a 29.3 percent increase from 2006, and its net income reached 1.30 billion, an 18.1 percent increase from 2006. This information, and much more, can be derived from the financial statements that merchandising firms such as Costco prepare on a regular basis to provide shareholders and other interested parties information about the companys activities and financial performance. 1. What type of information would a classified income statement provide to shareholders and other interested parties? 2. What type of information would a classified balance sheet provide to shareholders and other interested parties? Why would this information be important for calculating the working capital and the current ratio, for example?

Redline Publishers, Inc., produces various manuals ranging from computer software instructional booklets to manuals explaining the installation and use of large pieces of industrial equipment.

Computer Associates International, Inc., the world's leading business software company, delivers the end-to-end infrastructure to enable e-business through innovative technology, services, and education. Recently, Computer Associates had 19,000 employees worldwide and revenue of over $6 billion. The following information is from the company's annual report. The Company has experienced a pattern of business whereby revenue for its third and fourth fiscal quarters reflects an increase over first- and second-quarter revenue. The Company attributes this increase to clients' increased spending at the end of their calendar year budgetary periods and the culmination of its annual sales plan. Since the Company's costs do not increase proportionately with the third- and fourth-quarters' increase in revenue, the higher revenue in these quarters results in greater profit margins and income. Fourth-quarter profitability is traditionally affected by significant new hirings, training, and…
