Kabul Inc. wished to buy a company that produced and sold burglar alarms. Accordingly, Kabul formed a Alarmaway Inc., for the sole purpose of buying and operating the business. Kabul contributed $2 million in cash to Alarmaway and held 100% of its stock. After several profitable months, sales began to fall until its total assets dwindled to only $10,000. Alarmaway finally ceased doing business altogether, although it owed its largest creditor, AUAF, Inc. $400,000. AUAF is attempting to hold Kabul, Inc. liable for this debt. Should the court pierce the corporate veil and hold Kabul liable for Alarmaway’s debt?

Doc did all the baking, and Lyn handled marketing and distribution. Because of increased sales, Doc left his other job, and Lyn followed shortly. The company hired additional workers to meet demand, but the fast growth led to cash-flow and capacity problems. Doc and Lyn approached a local bank for short-term financial help. What is the nature of the financial problem that Doc and Lyn are facing?arrow_forwardAerotech Corp is a multinational company that offers various products to its customers. The company provides discounts to its clients as part of its sales strategy. However, accounting for these discounts can be complex due to different types of discounts and the timing of recognition. Aerotech Corp recently offered a volume-based discount to one of its major customers, which resulted in a significant reduction in revenue for the current financial year. The finance team is struggling to account for this discount correctly. Can you provide a comprehensive step-by-step explanation of how Aerotech Corp should account for this volume-based discount in its financial statements in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)?arrow_forward
- Golf Challenge Corp. is a retail sports store carrying golf apparel and equipment. The store is at the end of its second year of operation and is struggling. A major problem is that its cost of inventory has continually increased in the past two years. In the first year of operations, the store assigned inventory costs using LIFO. A loan agreement the store has with its bank, its prime source of financing, requires the store to maintain a certain profit margin and current ratio. The store’s owner is currently looking over Golf Challenge’s preliminary financial statements for its second year. The numbers are not favorable. The only way the store can meet the financial ratios agreed on with the bank is to change from LIFO to FIFO. The store originally decided on LIFO because of its tax advantages. The owner recalculates ending inventory using FIFO and submits those numbers and statements to the loan officer for the required bank review. The owner thankfully reflects on the available…arrow_forwardTarget Corporation believed it could increase the company’s profits by closing its stores in Canada. Other companies have also tried to improve their financial performance by downsizing. In November 2017, General Electric announced it would begin a downsizing operation that would result in their exiting businesses that were using over $20 billion in assets in the next one to two years. In January 2018, Newell Brands, the company whose products include Tupperware, Sharpie pens, Elmer’s Glue, and Rawlings sports products, announced it would be reducing its product offerings to the extent that it would close half of its facilities and reduce its revenues by 20 percent. Consider the additional information presented as follows, which is hypothetical. All dollar amounts are in thousands, unit amounts are not. Assume that a manufacturer of breakfast cereals decides to eliminate one of its products called Sugar-Bits from a segment that currently produces three products. As a result, the…arrow_forwardComputers have drastically altered the way accounting records are maintained. Almost all businesses now keep the bulk of their accounting records on computers.

- Bryce Company manufactures pet supplies. However, Bryces electronic accounting system recently crashed and, unfortunately, only a partial recovery of the companys year-end accounting records (which included several profitability ratios) was possible. As a result, Bryces controller, a bright young CMA named Jeanette, must compute various lost financial account balances using the recovered information listed below. Long-term liabilities: 1,500,000 Ending inventory is the same as beginning inventory. Gross margin: 3,000,000 Net sales: 8,000,000 Accounts receivable turnover: 50 Ending accounts receivable is the same as beginning accounts receivable. Total liabilities: 2,000,000 Current ratio: 2.5 Cash: 600,000 Quick ratio: 2.0 Inventory turnover in days: 3.65 Required: 1. Calculate current liabilities. 2. Calculate current assets. 3. Calculate average accounts receivable 4. Calculate marketable securities. 5. Calculate average inventory.arrow_forwardUpton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Uptons balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, is shown here (millions of dollars): Sales for 2019 were 350 million, and net income for the year was 10.5 million, so the firms profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of 4.2 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate was 25%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios, (spontaneous liabilities)/sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remain constant in 2020. a. If sales are projected to increase by 70 million, or 20%, during 2020, use the AFN equation to determine Uptons projected external capital requirements. b. Using the AFN equation, determine Uptons self-supporting growth rate. That is, what is the maximum growth rate the firm can achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds? c. Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast Uptons balance sheet for December 31, 2020. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Assume Uptons profit margin and dividend payout ratio will be the same in 2020 as they were in 2019. What is the amount of the line of credit reported on the 2020 forecasted balance sheets? (Hint: You dont need to forecast the income statements because the line of credit is taken out on the last day of the year and you are given the projected sales, profit margin, and dividend payout ratio; these figures allow you to calculate the 2020 addition to retained earnings for the balance sheet without actually constructing a full income statement.)arrow_forwardTUV Hardware Stores is a major retailer of lumber and building products. They are privately owned but professionally managed. Recently, they took out a bank loan to build a new robotic warehouse. Debt to equity is now .2:1, and the bank has asked for financial statements. They have approached your audit firm to provide some assurance based on your excellent reputation. Each retail store is franchised and there are no corporate-owned stores. In 2020, franchise fees are expected to be $176 million while wholesale sales to stores are expected to be $2,416 million and wholesale sales direct to major builders are expected to be $203 million. Gross profit on wholesale sales is around 5%. The franchise fee goes to such things as store support (training, point of sale inventory, pricing systems) and advertising, and a 20% profit. TUV has operations across Canada with major warehouses in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Brampton, and St. John, New Brunswick. The new warehouse will be built in Kitchener.…arrow_forward
