Your uncle and two friends started a small office supply store several years ago. The company has expanded and now has several large locations. Your uncle knows that you are taking a financial accounting class and asks you the following question: “When we first got started, our accountant told us to use LIFO for our inventory. We were paying her a lot of money so we followed that advice. One of our biggest customers is owned by a company located in Italy. Recently, the manager for that company was telling me that their accounting is based on IFRS rather than U.S. GAAP and that IFRS apparently believes that LIFO is theoretically flawed. Why are we using a flawed system? I don’t even what impact LIFO has on our financial statements. I know that we started out this year with 100,000 units that cost $5 each and then we bought another 400,000 units for $8.00. At the end of the year, because of our sales during the period, we only had 100,000 units left. What difference did LIFO make?”

- A few years ago, I decided to expand my coffee shop business and bought a coffee roaster. I created my own brand, America’s famous, and started selling vacuum-packed coffee in local supermarkets. It was a huge success! Sales of my vacuum-packed coffee skyrocket and soon become the item most sold in my company. To be honest, I have concentrated on sales and no other items in the income statement or balance sheet. A finance intern from Kean University prepared the Table below. I am a little embarrassed to confess that I don’t know what most of the ratios mean. However, I noticed that some of the ratios are below the industry median, and I am anxious. Should I be worried? Is my business on the edge of being broke? What can you say about the financial performance of The America’s famous Co? Do you have any suggestions? The America’s famous Co. Industry Median Current ratio 0.74 1.43 Quick ratio 0.39 0.35 Cash ratio 0.15 0.21 Total asset turnover 2.01 0.85 Inventory turnover…20 years ago, I opened a coffee shop in a small town in New Jersey. My small business grew, and after 12 years, I have opened more than 7 coffee shops in different parts of the state. I decided to retire in Costa Rica and enjoy life with my family. My biggest mistake was leaving my best friend, the most trusted employee, in charge of my stores. He had been in the company since its foundation and always was diligent. However, soon after I left for Costa Rica, my friend started his own coffee shop business while still managing my shops. Two years later, after wondering why sales in my coffee shops had declined, I decided to come in person to find out why. To my surprise – and frankly to my sadness-, my friend had opened four coffee shops near (one of them in front of) my businesses. He claimed that he opened his stores near my stores to take care of my business and his business at the same time. However, he never mentioned to me that he had opened his own stores. More appalling, while…After working for years as a regional manager for a retail organization, Scott Parry opened his own business with Susan Gonzalez, one of his district managers, as his partner. They formed S&S to sell appliances and consumer electronics. Scott and Susan pursued a “clicks and bricks” strategy by renting a building in a busy part of town and adding an electronic storefront. Scott and Susan invested enough money to see them through the first six months. They will hire 15 employees within the next two weeks – three to stock the shelves, four sales representatives, six checkout clerks, and two to develop and maintain the electronic storefront. Scott and Susan will host S&S’s grand opening in five weeks. To meet that deadline, they have to address the following important issues: 16. What business processes are needed, and how should they be carried out? 17. What functionality should be provided on the website?
- How Is He Doing? Ted Mohr had worked as a mid-level manager for a large retail chain with a regional headquarters in Fairfield County, Connecticut. For over fifteen years he had commuted on I95, and worried that too much of his family time was spent in traffic jams. Two years ago he acted on one of his dreams and relocated to New Hampshire to open a restaurant and novelty shop. The shop had been in its current location for over twelve years and had achieved a reputation for service and a wide range of tourist novelties. Ted ran the operations of the store, and his wife handled all the office and administrative functions. In the past year he had withdrawn $35,000 from the business for living expenses. During next year’s slow season he hoped that he and his wife would be able to take at least four weeks as a vacation. At a business luncheon a professor from the local university spoke about the university’s offer to help small businesses in the state with free consulting from its…After working for years as a regional manager for a retail organization, Scott Parry opened his own business with Susan Gonzalez, one of his district managers, as his partner.

During the summer he buys hats that cost $5.00 each and sells them at the beach for $12.00 each. Other than the cost of the hat, his only other expense last summer was $120 for parking. He sold 78 hats last summer. His accountant prepared a financial statement for him and he has several questions about the income statement. He asks: What does the cost of goods sold and gross profit mean? How much gross profit do I make on each hat? Why show both gross profit and net income? Using Jim's figures, calculate his cost of goods sold, gross profit and net income - SHOW YOUR CALCULATIONS If I have hats returned or a give a discount, how will that be shown on the income statement?
- Zumo Wang came to Northern Ireland from China six years ago to study at university for a degree in Computing and Electronics. After graduating he worked as an information technology manager for a computer company and saved his wages to build up the capital needed to invest in his own business. Zumo’s friend Charles Wu, had recently put his computing consultancy business up for sale – ‘PC: IT’. PC: IT was set up ten years ago, and seemed quite successful. The premises were located on a busy street in the town centre of Enniskillen, and operated a ‘collect and return’ service, enabling computers to be serviced without the customer having to leave their home. Upon purchase of the business from Charles, Zumo acquired a number of fixed assets for use in the business. These included a personal computer, a laptop computer and various machines facilitating welding and electronic engineering to be carried out on computer circuit boards, rebuilding computers and other assembly activities.

ProduceR-Us was started by an immigrant family 20 years ago and has grown to a national company with sales of $10 million annually. Although the business has grown, the family-owned business strives to maintain a “family atmosphere” and stresses trust. Because of Sarah’s honesty and hard work, the manager quickly promoted her, and she now signs checks for amounts under $5,000 and also has responsibilities for Accounts Payable. Now, however, the owners are suspicious of Sarah’s recent lifestyle changes and have hired you to determine whether Sarah is embezzling from the company.

- Five years ago when Bobby Bret joined Crystal Productions as a junior accountant, he felt that he was on his way up. He had just graduated with a B+ average from college, where he was well liked by his peers and by the faculty and had been an officer in several student organizations. Bobby had shown a natural ability to get along with people as well as to get things done. He remembered what Roger Friedman, the controller at Crystal, had told him when he was hired: “I think you will do well here, Bobby. You’ve come highly recommended. You are the kind of guy that can expect to move right on up the ladder.” Bobby felt that he had done a good job at Crystal, and everybody seemed to like him. In addition, his performance appraisals had been excellent. However, after five years he was still a junior accountant. Hehad applied for two senior accountant positions that had opened, but they were both filled by people hired from outside the firm. When the accounting supervisor’s job came open…This year you obtain a new client, Lee Corporation, a regional distributor of appliances. Before becoming your client, Lee had installed a microcomputer-based accounting system to handle its receivable, payables general ledger and payroll. Lee purchases its microcomputer with off-the-shelf software and appears very pleased with it. You notice that the computer sits on the bookkeeper’s desk. You ask Christian Lee, the president, about his feelings about the computer system, and he states: “The system is absolutely great. It has already saved us a lot of time and money. I get reports when I want them, not days later. In fact, it is so good, why don’t you try it? The password is LEE. You can go ahead and use it. If you want any backup files, they are stored in the supply room. We sure saved a lot of money by purchasing the system from a mail-order operation.
