Calculate Earnings per share and total asset turnover ratio for both unadjusted and adjusted balances and to explain the causes of the differences and the impact of the changes on financial analysis.

Explanation of Solution
Calculation of earnings per share:
For Unadjusted:
For adjusted:
Calculation of total asset turnover:
For Unadjusted:
For Adjusted:
Explain the causes of the differences and the impact of the changes on financial analysis:
Both ratios were affected by presence of the adjustments with net income, revenue, and assets decreasing.
- For earnings per share, the numerator net income has been decreased while the denominator did not, resulting in a significantly lower figure.
- For the total asset turnover ratio, both the numerator and denominator have been decreased, but the denominator average total assets have been decreased more than the numerator revenues, causing an increase in the ratio.

Write a letter to the company explaining the results of the adjustments regarding analysis and decision about the loan.
5.
Explanation of Solution
Write a letter to the company explaining the results of the adjustments regarding analysis and decision about the loan as given below:
To
The Stockholders of Corporation SM
We regret to inform you that your plea for a $30,000 loan has been disavowed.
Our analysis showed that various adjustments were essential to the original set of financial statements provided to us. The original financial statements overstated the net income for 2017 by $28,510
Total assets amounting to $13,200
An assessment of key financial ratios shows that the adjustments adversely affected the earnings per share, even though the total asset turnover increased from 2.073 to 2.267. However, the adjusted ratios should be compared with the other start-up companies that are operating the same industry.
We entail that there should be sufficient collateral pledged against the loan before we can approve it. The current market value of the equipment should be able to provide additional collateral against which the loan could be protected. Your personal investments may also be considered feasible collateral if you are agreeable to sign an agreement pledging these assets as a collateral for the loan. This is a common requirement for similar and small start-up businesses.
If you would like us to reassess your application, kindly provide us the current market values of any assets that you would pledge as collateral.
Regards,
XYZ

Determine the bad debt estimation for 2019. C. Describe a benefit to Fortune in 2019 as a result of its earnings management.arrow_forwardAssume that you are the controller of a business that provides legal services to clients. Suppose that the company has had a tough year, so the revenues have been lagging behind, based on previous years standards. What would you do if your boss (the chief executive officer [CEO] of the company) asked to reclassify a transaction to report loan proceeds of $150,000 as if the cash came from service fee revenue from clients instead. Would following the CEOs advice impact the companys accounting equation? How would reclassifying this one transaction change the outcome of the balance sheet, the income statement, and the statement of retained earnings? Would making this reclassification change the perception that users of the financial statements would have of the companys current year success and future year potential? Write a memo, detailing your willingness (or not) to embrace this suggestion, giving reasons behind your decision. Remember to exercise diplomacy, even if you must dissent from the opinion of a supervisor. Note that the challenge of the assignment is to keep your integrity intact, while also keeping your job, if possible.arrow_forwardi.
