An accounting intern for a local CPA firm was reviewing the financial statements of a client in the electronics industry. The intern noticed that the client used the FIFO method of determining ending inventory and cost of goods sold. When she asked a colleague why the firm used FIFO instead of LIFO, she was told that the client used FIFO to minimize its income tax liability. This response puzzled the intern because she thought that LIFO would minimize income tax liability. Required: What would you tell the intern to resolve the confusion?
Mr X, head of the accounting department, conducted a meeting with a system professional, Miss Tiffany, to develop a new accounting information system. During this meeting, Miss Tiffany suggested that the best way to start is first to examine the old system, such as reviewing key documents and observing the workers perform their tasks. Then, it can be determined which aspects are working well and which should be preserved.
Mr X disagrees with this suggestion. He argues that they have been through these types of projects before and what always ends up happening is that they do not get the new system they are promised; instead they get a modified version of the old system.
Miss Tiffany assures him that it will not happen this time. Tiffany is of the view that she just wants a thorough understanding of what is working well and what is not.
However, Mr X does not agree with this opinion. His stance is as follows:

Suppose you are a part of a group of students from a prominent university and were sent out as a team to work with a leading merchandizing company as a part of a work experience program. The team having been introduced to the general manger was told that the Accountant who normally prepares the financial statements has suddenly resigned and there is no one available to prepare the company’s financial statements which are now due. As aspiring university students, you and your group members have expressed an interest in taking on the task. As a group, you are required to collaborate and analyse the problem at hand then apply the accrual basis of accounting in the preparation of the company’s financial statements.

- Consider again the scenario described in Problem 4. The Center for Business Analytics is considering a refund policy for no-shows. No refund would be given for members who do not attend, but nonmembers who do not attend will be refunded 50% of the price. Extend the model you developed in Problem 4 for the Business Intelligence Symposium to account for the fact that, historically, 25% of members who registered do not show and 10% of registered nonmembers do not attend. The center pays the caterer for breakfast and lunch based on the number of registrants (not the number of attendees). However, the center pays for parking only for those who attend. What is the profit if each corporate member registers their full allotment of tickets and 127 nonmembers register? Use a two-way data table to show how profit changes as a function of number of registered nonmembers and the no-show percentage of nonmembers. Vary the number of nonmember registrants from 80 to 160 in increments of 5 and the percentage of nonmember no-shows from 10 to 30% in increments of 2%. 4. The University of Cincinnati Center for Business Analytics is an outreach center that collaborates with industry partners on applied research and continuing education in business analytics. One of the programs offered by the center is a quarterly Business Intelligence Symposium. Each symposium features three speakers on the real-world use of analytics. Each corporate member of the center (there are currently 10) receives five free seats to each symposium. Nonmembers wishing to attend must pay $75 per person. Each attendee receives breakfast, lunch, and free parking. The following are the costs incurred for putting on this event: Build a spreadsheet model that calculates a profit or loss based on the number of nonmember registrants. Use Goal Seek to find the number of nonmember registrants that will make the event break even.arrow_forwardSuppose you are a part of a group of students from a prominent university and were sent out as a team to work with a leading merchandizing company as a part of a work experience program.

The plant is nonunion, and employees have been compensated with only an hourly-rate plan. Julie Phelps, Vice President–Manufacturing, is concerned that the move to an incentive compensation plan will cause direct laborers to speed up production and, thus, compromise quality. Step 1 - With that information in mind, discuss the following questions. Your posting should be at least 500 words* in length. This means you should elaborate on your answers, not simply answer each question with one or two words. You should also reference information already learned in our studies. How might Kelley accomplish his goals while alleviating Phelps’ concerns? Does the compensation have to be all hourly rate or all incentives? Can incentive compensation also apply to service businesses?arrow_forwardAllright Test Design Company creates, produces, and sells Internet-based CPA and CMA review courses for individual use. Davis Webber, head of human resources, is convinced that question development employees must have strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

One of the problems Andrea developed is based on the following data for a mythical company (Mythic, Inc.) for the previous year: Conversion cost was $139,000 and was four times the prime cost. Direct materials used in production equaled $5,200. Cost of goods manufactured was $153,200. Ending work in process is 50 percent of the cost of beginning work in process. There are no beginning or ending inventories for direct materials. Cost of goods sold was 110 percent of cost of goods manufactured. Beginning finished goods inventory was $22,190.
