Ms. Faye Santos is an accounting major at a Midwestern state university located approximately 60 miles from a major city.
Ms. Faye Santos is an accounting major at a Midwestern state university located approximately 60 miles from a major city. Many of the students attending the university are from the metropolitan areas and visit their homes regularly on the weekends. Faye, an entrepreneur at heart, realizes that few good commuting alternatives are available for students doing weekend travel. She believes that a weekend commuting service could be organized and run profitably from several suburban and downtown shopping mall locations. Faye has gathered the following investment information.
Five used vans would cost a total of $75,000 to purchase and would have a three-year useful life with negligible salvage value. Faye plans to use straight-line depreciation.
Ten drivers would have to be employed at a total payroll expense of $48,000. 3. Other annual out-of-pocket expenses…
Requirement: She wants advice on stopping her business to pursue education, as she can't imagine going down both paths simultaneously. If Sky decides to continue with the business, she wants to emphasize ethics as she believes that is the best long-term approach. Any advice on this aspect of business, and her situation specifically, would be appreciated.
Sky wants to rent a small retail space for $2,000 a month. Sky expects that her current sales volume would double in 2023 if she went in this direction. With either the online or storefront approach, Sky would need to invest in new machinery which could either be purchased for $10,000 or leased for $200 a month (5 year lease).
The machinery is expected to last five years and Sky expects the usage to be pretty consistently annually but there would be higher usage in the summer months. She is wondering what the appropriate accounting and tax treatment for the machinery would be. If Sky were to purchase the machine outright, she could…

- Cost Information and Ethical Behavior, Service Organization Jean Erickson, manager and owner of an advertising company in Charlotte, North Carolina, arranged a meeting with Leroy Gee, the chief accountant of a large, local competitor. The two are lifelong friends. They grew up together in a small town and attended the same university. Leroy is a competent, successful accountant but is having some personal financial difficulties after some of his investments turned sour, leaving him with a 15,000 personal loan to pay offjust when his oldest son is starting college. Jean, on the other hand, is struggling to establish a successful advertising business. She had recently acquired the rights to open a branch office of a large regional advertising firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. During her first 2 years, she was able to build a small, profitable practice. However, the chance to gain a significant foothold in Charlotte hinged on the success of winning a bid to represent the state of North Carolina in a major campaign to attract new industry and tourism. The meeting she had scheduled with Leroy concerned the bid she planned to submit. Jean: Leroy, Im at a critical point in my business venture. If I can win the bid for the states advertising dollars, Ill be set. Winning the bid will bring 600,000 to 700,000 of revenues into the firm. On top of that, I estimate that the publicity will bring another 200,000 to 300,000 of new business. Leroy: I understand. My boss is anxious to win that business as well. It would mean a huge increase in profits for my firm. Its a competitive business, though. As new as you are, I doubt that youll have much chance of winning. Jean: Youre forgetting two very important considerations. First, I have the backing of all the resources and talent of a regional firm. Second, I have some political connections. Last year, I was hired to run the publicity side of the governors campaign. He was impressed with my work and would like me to have this business. I am confident that the proposals I submit will be very competitive. My only concern is to submit a bid that beats your firm. If I come in with a lower bid and good proposals, the governor can see to it that I get the work. Leroy: Sounds promising. If you do win, however, there will be a lot of upset people. After all, they are going to claim that the business should have been given to local advertisers, not to some out-of-state firm. Given the size of your office, youll have to get support from Atlanta. You could take a lot of heat. Jean: True. But I am the owner of the branch office. That fact alone should blunt most of the criticism. Who can argue that Im not a local? Listen, with your help, I think I can win this bid. Furthermore, if I do win it, you can reap some direct benefits. With that kind of business, I can afford to hire an accountant, and Ill make it worthwhile for you to transfer jobs. I can offer you an up-front bonus of 15,000. On top of that, Ill increase your annual salary by 20%. That should solve most of your financial difficulties. After all, we have been friends since day oneand what are friends for? Leroy: Jean, my wife would be ecstatic if I were able to improve our financial position as quickly as this opportunity affords. I certainly hope that you win the bid. What kind of help can I provide? Jean: Simple. To win, all I have to do is beat the bid of your firm. Before I submit my bid, I would like you to review it. With the financial skills you have, it should be easy for you to spot any excessive costs that I may have included. Or perhaps I included the wrong kind of costs. By cutting excessive costs and eliminating costs that may not be directly related to the project, my bid should be competitive enough to meet or beat your firms bid. Required: 1. What would you do if you were Leroy? Fully explain the reasons for your choice. What do you suppose the code of conduct for Leroys company would say about this situation? 2. What is the likely outcome if Leroy agrees to review the bid? Is there much risk to him personally if he reviews the bid? Should the degree of risk have any bearing on his decision?arrow_forwardEthical Behavior Consider the following scenario between Dave, a printer, and Steve, an assistant in the local universitys athletic department. Steve: Dave, our department needs to have 10,000 posters printed for the basketball team for next year. Heres the mock-up, and well need them in a month. How much will you charge? Dave: Well, given the costs I have for ink and paper, 1 can come in at around 5,000. Steve: Great, heres what I want you to do. Print me up an invoice for 7,500. Huts our budget. Then, when they pay you, you give me a check for 2,500. Ill make sure that you get the job. Required: CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Is Steves proposal ethical? What should Dave do?arrow_forwardBridget Youhzi works for a large firm. Her alma mater has asked her to make a presentation to the upcoming accounting honor societys annual scholarship dinner. Her firm supports the presentation because it hopes to recruit more excellent employees like Bridget. The university is 196 miles from her office. In order to get to the dinner by 5:00 p.m., she will need to leave work at 1:00 pm. She can drive her personal car and be reimbursed $0.50 per mile. The dinner ends at 9:00 p.m. Company policy allows her to spend the night if the return trip is tour hours or more. There is a student-run inn and conference center across the street from campus that charges $101 per night. Instead of driving, she could catch a 3:00 p.m. flight that has a round, trip fare of $300. Flying would require her to rent a car for $39 per day and pay an airport parking fee of $25 for the day. The company pays a per diem of $35 for incidentals if the employee spends at least six hours out of town. (The per diem would be for one 24-hour period for either flying or driving.) As a manager, Bridget is responsible for recruiting within a budget and wants to determine which is more economical. Use the information provided to answer these questions. A. What is the total amount of expenses Bridget would include on her expense report if she drives? B. What is the total amount of expenses she would include on her expense report if she flies? C. What is the relevant cost of driving? D. What is the relevant cost of flying? E. What is the differential cost of flying over driving? F. What other factors should Bridget consider in her decision between driving and flying?arrow_forward
- Attracting and retaining the best employees is crucial to operating a business. Employees will join a company based on opportunities for advancement, training, company culture, and salary and benefits provided. One business that is often listed in Fortune magazines 100 Best Companies to Work For is Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI). REI is committed to inspiring, educating, and outfitting its customers for a lifetime of outdoor adventure. REI offers competitive salaries as well as benefits, including paid sabbaticals, an onsite fitness center, healthcare coverage, telecommuting, and a compressed workweek. The accounting department at REI is responsible for determining salaries/wages and benefits for employees, calculating payroll deductions for taxes and other expenses, and ensuring that company payrolls are processed in a timely and accurate manner. In this chapter, you learned how companies such as REI complete the payroll records for their employees. Why do you think timely and accurate payroll information is so important to a company such as REI?arrow_forwardEthics and professional conduct in business Erin Haywood was recently hired as a cost analyst by Wind River Medical Supplies Inc. Oneof Erin’s first assignments was to perform a net present value analysis for a new warehouse.Et-in performed the analysis and calculated a present value index of 0.8. The plant manager.ZuhairBarbat, is very intent on purchasing the warehouse because he believes that more storage space is needed. Zuhair asks Erín into his office and the following conversation takes place: ZubairErín, you’re new here, aren’t you? EHii: Yes, sir. Zubair: V.dl, Erin, let me tell you something. ¡m not at all pleased with the capital investment analysis that you performed on this new warehouse. T need that warehouse for my production. If I dont get it, where am I going to place our output? Erín: Hopefully with the customer, sir. Zithair: Now don’t get smart with me. Erín: No, really. I was being serious. My analysis does not support constructing a new ware- house. The numbers don’t lie: the warehouse does not meet our investment return targets. In fact, it seems to me that purchasing a warehouse dots not add much value to the business. We need to be producing product to satisfy customer orders, not to fill a warehouse. Zubair Listen, you need to understand sonwthing. The headquarters people will not allow mv to build the warehouse if the numbers dont add up. You know as well as I that many assump tions go into your net present value analysis. Why don’t you relax some of your assumptions so that the f́nancial savings will offset the cost? Erín: I’m willing to discuss my assumptions with you. Maybe I overlooked something. Zubafr Good. Here’s what I want you to do. 1 see in your analysis tha you don’t project greater sales as a result of the warehouse. It seems to me, if we can store more goxLs, then will have more to sell. Thus, logically, a larger warehouse translates into more sales. If you incorporate this into your analysis, I think you’ll see that the numbers will work out. Why don’t you work it through and come back with a new analysis? I’m really counting on you on this one. Let’s get off to a good start together and see if we can get this project accepted. What is your advice to Erin?arrow_forwardRather than going directly to college, some students take time off to travel abroad, learn new skills, or volunteer. This period is known as a gap year Real Gap Experience provides hundreds of gap year traveling opportunities in over 45 countries around the world. The company offers everything from volunteering to building houses in Guatemala to teaching in China (for pay) to taking a year-long, around-the-world trip. What does this have to do with accounting, and why is it important? Every company needs to keep a record of its financial activities so that financial statements can be presented and used for decision making. Real Gap Experiences accounting records are most likely computerized, but the company still needs to go through the closing process. Why is the closing process important to a company such as Real Gap Experience? What types of accounts would be used during the closing process for this company?arrow_forward

- Case Study You have applied for a public relations (PR) position with a RM 10.2 million savings and loan association, a conservative financial institution that has been in existence for over 50 years. The organization has never employed a PR person before. Now that its assets have risen above 10 million, however, the president of the institution feels it is time to hire someone to ‘do the PR’. During an interview, the president admits he is not sure what PR is, but he is fairly sure he wants the person he hires to plan promotions and stage events that will attract new customers, write stories that will get free space and time in the local media and start an employee publication. The president also states that he is open to suggestions about the position and asks you to explain how you would establish a professional, effective PR program if you were hired.arrow_forwardAssume that you are the financial manager for your company.
