Sandhill Holdings Inc., a publicly listed company in Canada, ventured into construction of a mega-shopping mall in Edmonton, which is rated as the largest shopping mall in North America. The company’s board of directors, after much market research, decided that instead of selling the shopping mall to a local investor who had approached them several times with excellent offers that he steadily increased during the year of construction, the company would hold this property for the purposes of capital appreciation and earning rental income from mall tenants. The construction of the mall ended on December 31, 2019. Sandhill Holdings retained the services of a real estate company to find and attract many important retailers to rent space in the shopping mall. The shopping mall was fully occupied soon after construction was completed.According to the company’s accounting department, the total construction cost of the shopping mall was $50 million.

- Manny Carson, certified management accountant and controller of Wakeman Enterprises, has been given permission to acquire a new computer and software for the companys accounting system. The capital investment analysis showed an NPV of 100,000. However, the initial estimates of acquisition and installation costs were made on the basis of tentative costs without any formal bids. Manny now has two formal bids, one that would allow the firm to meet or beat the original projected NPV and one that would reduce the projected NPV by 50,000. The second bid involves a system that would increase both the initial cost and the operating cost. Normally, Manny would take the first bid without hesitation. However, Todd Downing, the owner of the firm presenting the second bid, is a close friend. Manny called Todd and explained the situation, offering Todd an opportunity to alter his bid and win the job. Todd thanked Manny and then made a counteroffer. Todd: Listen, Manny, this job at the original price is the key to a successful year for me. The revenues will help me gain approval for the loan I need for renovation and expansion. If I dont get that loan, I see hard times ahead. The financial stats for loan approval are so marginal that reducing the bid price may blow my chances. Manny: Losing the bid altogether would be even worse, dont you think? Todd: True. However, if you award me the job, Ill be able to add personnel. I know that your son is looking for a job, and I can offer him a good salary and a promising future. Additionally, Ill be able to take you and your wife on that vacation to Hawaii that weve been talking about. Manny: Well, you have a point. My son is having an awful time finding a job, and he has a wife and three kids to support. My wife is tired of having them live with us. She and I could use a vacation. I doubt that the other bidder would make any fuss if we turned it down. Its offices are out of state, after all. Todd: Out of state? All the more reason to turn it down. Given the states economy, it seems almost criminal to take business outside. Those are the kind of business decisions that cause problems for people like your son. Required: Evaluate the ethical behavior of Manny. Should Manny have called Todd in the first place? Would there have been any problems if Todd had agreed to meet the lower bid price? Identify the parts of the Statement of Ethical Professional Practice (Chapter 1) that Manny may be violating, if any.arrow_forwardABC Fund has decided to enter into a joint venture with Newtown Development Inc. to develop and operate an office building that will require an initial investment of $100 million to cover all the development costs (hard and soft costs). There will be no debt financing for the joint venture.

ABC Fund will invest $45 million and Newtown Development Inc. will invest the remaining $55 million needed for the development costs. The $50 million development costs already include a developer fee to Newtown Development Inc. and the cash flow projections for each year above are net of a property management fee being paid to Newtown Development Inc.

The building is now required to be valued at fair value as of the balance sheet date. Smith originally paid $375,000 for the building and the current carrying value is $350,000. External valuations have determined that the building's fair value should be $360,000. Smith's CEO has argued Smith Corporation would never sell the building for less than $425,000. What is the correct fair value and why? Question 10 options: a) $350,000 because that is the carrying value of the building b) $425,000 because that is the minimum sales price Smith would accept c) $360,000 because that is the perspective of the market d) $375,000 because that is the entrance pricearrow_forward
- Treetop Associated Group (TAG) is seeking financing for acquisition and development of 147 homesites. The land will cost $1.5 million, and TAG estimates direct development costs to be an additional $2.7 million. City Federal Bank will make a loan covering 40 percent of the land acquisition cost, 100 percent of direct improvement cost, and interest carry at 11 percent interest with a 3 percent loan origination fee. TAG has decided to split the development into two parcel types, standard and deluxe, with the standard parcels comprising 87 of the 147 total homesites. Also, TAG thinks that the deluxe sites will be priced at a $2,000 premium over the standard parcel price of $36,000. The total project revenue will be $5,412,000. After making a 60 percent down payment for the land and incurring closing costs of $50,000, TAG believes that the remaining development costs will be drawn down at $600,000 a month for the first three months and $300,000 a month for the next three months.

- Pelé Corp. owns a popular convenience store in Washington state. Messi Corp. is hoping to purchase the store from Pelé for $8,500,000.

- McClelland Corporation agreed to purchase some landscaping equipment from Agri-Products for a cash price of $500,000. Before accepting delivery of the equipment, McClelland learned that the same equipment could be purchased from another dealer for $460,000. To avoid losing the sale, Agri-Products has offered McClelland a “no interest” payment plan—McClelland would pay $100,000 at delivery, $200,000 one year later, and the final $200,000 in two years.

The facility itself cost $1,490,000 to build. As of now, the book value of the land and the facility are $149,000 and $1,248,000, respectively. The firm owes no debt on either the land or the facility at the present time. The firm received a bid of $1,240,000 for the land and facility last week.
