Ethical Issue: Moss Exports is having a bad year. Net Income is only $60,000. Also, two important overseas customers are falling behind in their payments to Moss, and Moss's Accounts Receivable are ballooning (these two customers owe Moss $80,000 combined). The company desperately needs a loan. The Moss Exports Board of Directors is considering ways to put the best face on the company's financial statements. Moss's bank closely examines cash flow from operating activities. Daniel Peavey, Moss's Controller, suggests reclassifying the receivables from the two overseas customers as long-term assets. He explains to the Board that removing the $80,000 increase in Accounts Receivable from current assets will increase the net cash provided by operations.This approach may help get Moss the loan.
1. Using only the amounts given, compute net cash provided by operations, both without and with the reclassification of the receivables.
Which reporting makes Moss look better?

- Glencoe First National Bank operated for years under the assumption that profitability can be increased by increasing dollar volumes. Historically, First Nationals efforts were directed toward increasing total dollars of sales and total dollars of account balances. In recent years, however, First Nationals profits have been eroding. Increased competition, particularly from savings and loan institutions, was the cause of the difficulties. As key managers discussed the banks problems, it became apparent that they had no idea what their products were costing. Upon reflection, they realized that they had often made decisions to offer a new product which promised to increase dollar balances without any consideration of what it cost to provide the service. After some discussion, the bank decided to hire a consultant to compute the costs of three products: checking accounts, personal loans, and the gold VISA. The consultant identified the following activities, costs, and activity drivers (annual data): The following annual information on the three products was also made available: In light of the new cost information, Larry Roberts, the bank president, wanted to know whether a decision made two years ago to modify the banks checking account product was sound. At that time, the service charge was eliminated on accounts with an average annual balance greater than 1,000. Based on increases in the total dollars in checking, Larry was pleased with the new product. The checking account product is described as follows: (1) checking account balances greater than 500 earn interest of 2 percent per year, and (2) a service charge of 5 per month is charged for balances less than 1,000. The bank earns 4 percent on checking account deposits. Fifty percent of the accounts are less than 500 and have an average balance of 400 per account. Ten percent of the accounts are between 500 and 1,000 and average 750 per account. Twenty-five percent of the accounts are between 1,000 and 2,767; the average balance is 2,000. The remaining accounts carry a balance greater than 2,767. The average balance for these accounts is 5,000. Research indicates that the 2,000 category was by far the greatest contributor to the increase in dollar volume when the checking account product was modified two years ago. Required: 1. Calculate rates for each activity. 2. Using the rates computed in Requirement 1, calculate the cost of each product. 3. Evaluate the checking account product. Are all accounts profitable? Compute the average annual profitability per account for the four categories of accounts described in the problem. What recommendations would you make to increase the profitability of the checking account product? (Break-even analysis for the unprofitable categories may be helpful.)arrow_forwardMastery Problem: Statement of Cash Flows Championship Boxing, Inc.

The CEO is, however, concerned about the potential disruption that the implementation will have on operations. In an announcement letter to Baker’s employees, the CEO stated that: “I have contracted Flybynight Consulting Group to do the needs analysis, system selection, and design work. The programming and implementation will be performed in-house using existing IT department staff. The development process will be unobtrusive to user departments because Flybynight knows what needs to be done. They will work independently, in the background, and will not disrupt departmental and internal audit work flow with time consuming interviews, surveys, and questionnaires. This promises to be an efficient process that will produce a system that will be appreciated by all users.” Required: Draft a memo from George…arrow_forwardCorrecting internal control weakness Each of the following situations has an internal control weakness.

The firm provides additional incentives to its sales force, uses overtime to boost shipments but now has additional expenses to contend with (incentives and overtime), so it does not fully accrue all its consulting expenses. Third quarter rolls around and sales still haven't improved enough, but the analysts keep increasing targets. Because this time, operating tactics are not sufficient, management pressures the CFO to meet analyst forecast numbers. The CFO becomes aggressive in the interpretation of installment sales and expense accruals. As expectations keep rising, so does the firm's stock price.” What form or forms of financial statement fraud is this?

Maybe the problem is so severe that there is often insufficient cash to pay ordinary business expenses, like utilities, salaries, and payments to suppliers.

Write a memo that expresses your insights about past experience and present prospects for the company.
