Bank Suva was the oldest and largest of the three in a city in a city of 2 million people. Profits had stagnated in recent years. The president was concerned about the erosion of the bank's profitability and wanted to turn the situation around. A research consultant, who was completing his doctorate in business administration, was asked to help the president.
Preliminary discussions between the research consultant and the president indicated that a decline in the level of deposits affected profits. The deposits were linked to the bank's competitive position.

- Exeter is a building contractor on the Gulf Coast. After losing a number of big lawsuits, it was facing its first annual net loss as the end of the year approached. The owner, Hank Snow, was under intense pressure from the company’s creditors to report positive net income for the year. However, he knew that the controller, Alice Li, had arranged a short-term bank loan of $10,000 to cover a temporary shortfall of cash. He told Alice to record the incoming cash as “construction revenue” instead of a loan. That would nudge the company’s income into positive territory for the year, and then, he said, the entry could be corrected in January when the loan was repaid. Requirement How would this action affect the year-end income statement? how would it affect the year-end balance sheet? If you were one of the company's creditors, how would this fraudulent action affect you?Strivant Industries is a struggling company whose profits are dropping.

The bank requested financial statements as a basis for granting the loan. Helen instructed her accountant to provide the bank with a balance sheet, but to omit the other financial statements because her business incurred a net loss last year. Helen contends that as the owner of the business, it is her right to withhold certain financial statements from the bank. Do you agree with Helen? Why or why not? What type of information would banks require from a loan applicant and why would the loan officer request this information?
- Assume you serve on the board of a local golf and country club. In preparation for renegotiating the club’s bank loans, the president indicates that the club needs to increase its operating cash flows before the end of the current year. The club’s treasurer reassures the president and other board members that he knows a couple of ways to boost the club’s operating cash flows. First, he says, the club can sell some of its accounts receivable to a collections company that is willing to pay the club $97,000 up front for the right to collect $1 00,000 of the overdue accounts. That will immediately boost operating cash flows. Second, he indicates that the club paid about $200,000 last month to relocate the 18th fairway and green closer to the clubhouse. The treasurer indicates that although these costs have been reported as expenses in the club’s own monthly financial statements, he feels an argument can be made for reporting them as part of land and land improvements (a long-lived asset)…brenda, an accounts payable employee, is going out on maternity leave for three months. susan, another member of the accounting department who is responsible for bank reconciliations and filing, has given her two weeks’ notice. their departures leave just your three existing members of the accounting department. what is your plan to cover their responsibilities? write a memo to the ceo of your company, from a controller’s perspective, considering the need for internal controls.Scenario: Joe Babbitt, a former executive of T-Mart, just started a term as mayor of Saulk Center. For the past several days, he has been looking for a way to keep his campaign promise to increase services without raising taxes or service charges. While lunching at the country club with the treasurer of T-Mart, the subject of a recent sale and leaseback of one of T-Mart’s stores came up. Following a common practice in retailing, T-Mart had erected a building and sold it to an investor. It then signed a long-term lease on the building. “Bingo! That’s it,” thought Mayor Babbitt. “We can sell several of the city’s buildings—as well as police cars, fire engines, and other vehicles—to investors and lease them back. That will give us the revenues we desperately need. Now I can concentrate on fighting crime.” Question: Do you agree with Mayor Babbitt?
- Otis is the CEO of Bay Corp. The company has been struggling for the last few years and is in danger of defaulting on several of its bank loan covenants. Otis is facing significant pressure from the board of directors to turn the company around. Unless he meets all of the financial goals for the year, he will be out the door without a golden parachute. To improve the financial appearance of the company, Otis undertakes a scheme to boost the balance sheet by faking inventory. The analysis of what financial ratio would most likely bring this scheme to light? Inventory turnover Quick ratio Collection ratio Profit marginBest Exports has noticed their current year net income is only $60,000. In order to get a loan from their bank to assist the business they will need to provide a statement of cash flows. In reviewing the statement of cash flows, you notice a large increase ($80,000) in accounts receivable due to two of your largest customers being behind in payments. Since the bank looks at the operating activities, this increase will create concern. You make a suggestion to reclassify the accounts receivables to long-term, thus removing them from current assets will increase the net cash from operations.

Unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. So, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. The firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. It earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $750,000 in dividends to common shareholders. Throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.4 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. You have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $440,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. Finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1 million at a 7% interest…
