supplier of auto repair parts used in the after-market with products from Daimler AG,
Ford, Toyota and other automakers. Your boss, the chief financial officer (CFO), has
just handed you an assignment that includes the estimated cash flows for two
proposed projects. The project's are related to the firm's ignition system line, but

Exploring the Secrets of Accounting
You have just been promoted from vice president of marketing of BrainDrain Corporation to president and CEO! That's the good news.
Unfortunately, while you know marketing like the back of your hand, you know next to nothing about finance. Worse still, the "word on the
street" is that BrainDrain is in danger of failure if steps to correct large and continuing financial losses are not taken immediately.
Accordingly, you have asked the vice president of finance and accounting for a complete set of accounting statements detailing the
financial operations of the company over the past several years.
Recovering from the dual shocks of your promotion and feeling the weight of the firm's complete accounting report for the very first time, you decide to
attack the problem systematically and learn the "hidden secrets" of the company, statement by…

Everyone knew that the company faced increasing pressure from foreign competition and general maturing of the industry. However, some directors wondered whether Jay Kelly, CEO and chairman of the board, was the man to turn the company around. Kelly was a "numbers man" who had come up through corporate finance. He had an exceptionally good feel for the bottom line but had demonstrated little ability to sense technological and market trends. Prior to the June bimonthly board meeting, venture capitalist Linda Lopez and another independent board member requested a full discussion of Kelly's performance. Kelly had no option but to comply. However, he manufactured 12 other agenda issues, guaranteed to generate extensive discussion, and put them ahead of Lopez's item.

He has been a long time bank customer and getting the bank overdraft facility is not too difficult for him to obtain. It is indeed, the company practice to use only one current account, and at the moment his business is supported by an overdraft facility. Within one month of operation in December 2020, the owner has instructed his Senior Finance Officer to lay out and present a proper financial statement with the objective of paying settling the bank overdraft from any source of cash surplus.
