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…

May I please have the solution for the following exercise?
Thank you!
The price of San Diego-based Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ACAD) is currently $15 per share. The company pays no dividends and has negative earnings. However, they have drugs in development for the treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. The 1-year target estimate price on Yahoo is $25.28. The Value Line does not give a prediction for their future price. After attending the annual shareholder meeting here in San Diego, we predict that Acadia will be selling for $25 in three years. If our desired rate of return is 14%, would this be a potentially good buy for us? What price would we value the stock? Which dividend discount model can we use even if the company pays no dividends? How would you rate the risk level of this company?
Vignette 6.4 SHOULD THE BOARD CHAIRPERSON BE AN EXECUTIVE?
Burrin Corporation's sales and profits had slipped from their highs of 3
years ago. 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.
By the time Lopez's agenda item was reached, it was late in the evening
and some of…

The economics professor says investment occurs when companies buy equipment and build factories. Yet Harry has always heard people talk about investing as a method of saving when they put money in the bank or purchase securities. He's confused by these dissimilar uses of the word and has asked you to explain. After asking for your help, Harry happily states that there's one thing he does understand perfectly about what the econ prof says, and that is "savings equals investment." Since investing in stocks and bonds is also saving money, it's obvious that savings equal investment! Write a brief explanation to help Harry out.arrow_forward
- Question 5 The Finance Director of Kawabwa Construction plc recently overhauled the control system and designed a new method of assessing capital investments that applies the NPV rule to all new investment proposals and will assess performance of current of investments by the same method. He has created a report that will go to the board of directors monthly. This will give an NPV estimation to the cash flows produced and expected by each investment, and CFO plans to use this as a signaling device on the performance of all investments. This, he claims, will introduce rigour into the whole use of capital process. The Chairman ventured the opinion that this approach was a receipt for disaster.
