- Consider the dilemma you might someday face if you are the CFO of a company that is struggling to satisfy investors, creditors, stockholders, and internal company managers. All of these financial statement users are clamoring for higher profits and more net assets (also known as equity). If at some point, you suddenly found yourself not meeting the internal and external earnings and equity targets that these parties expect, you would probably search for some way to make the financial statements look better. What if your boss, the CEO, suggested that maybe you should make just one simple journal entry to record all the goods that your company is holding on consignment, as if that significant amount of goods were owned by your company? She might say that this action on your part would fix a lot of problems at once, since adding the consigned goods to merchandise inventory would simultaneously increase net assets on the balance sheet and increase net income on the income statement (since it would decrease cost of goods sold). How would you respond to this request? Write a memo, detailing your willingness or not to embrace this suggestion, giving reasons behind your decision. Remember to exercise diplomacy, even if you must dissent from the opinion of a supervisor. Note that the challenge of the assignment is to keep your integrity intact while also keeping your job, if possible.arrow_forwardAssume that you work for a Fortune 500 level company at corporate headquarters. Due to your excellent performance and the fact that the CEO of your firm noticed that you had listed on your resume' that you had taken a graduate-level Management Accounting course from a reputable institution, the CEO has sent you an email containing a request that you respond to two very important questions. The CEO needs your answers within a relatively short time frame of making the request. The questions are: #1. What criteria should the operating units (i.e. producing segments of the firm) use when deciding whether to use job-order costing or process costing approaches for costing the products they produce? #2. For costs that cannot be traced, what tests should a cost allocation basis (not the cost allocation method) meet before that cost allocation basis (direct labor hours, machine hours, direct labor cost, etc.) can be used to allocate costs in the organization?arrow_forwardProblem 1 For each situation, indicate whether it is indicative of poor corporate governance. Explain the reasoning for your assessment. a. The company is in the financial services sector and has a large number of consumer loans, including mortgages, outstanding. b. The CEO's and CFO's compensation is based on three components: (a) assets and profits, and (c) base salary, (b) bonus based on growth significant stock options. c. The audit committee meets semiannually. It is chaired by a retired CFO who knows the company well because she had served as the CFO of a division of the firm. The other two members are local community members - one is the president of the Chamber of Commerce and the other is a retired executive from a successful local manufacturing firm. d. The company has an internal auditor who reports directly to the CFO and makes an annual report to the audit committee. e. The CEO is a dominating personality - not unusual in this environment.

- Case Study #2: Chapter 5 Business Analysis - Harry, a friend of yours, is taking a course in economics and has become confused by some of the terminologies because of the way people commonly use the same words. 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_forwardConsider the dilemma you might someday face if you are the chief financial officer of a company that is struggling to maintain a positive cash flow, despite the fact that the company is reporting a substantial positive net income. Maybe the problem is so severe that there is often insufficient cash to pay ordinary business expenses, like utilities, salaries, and payments to suppliers. Assume that you have been asked to communicate to your board of directors about your companys year, in retrospect, as well as your vision for the companys future. Write a memo that expresses your insights about past experience and present prospects for the company. Note that the challenge of the assignment is to keep your integrity intact, while putting a positive spin on the situation, as much as is reasonably possible. How can you envision the situation turning into a success story?arrow_forwardCommunication Todd Johnson is the Vice President of Finance for Boz Zeppelin Industries Inc. At a recent finance meeting, Todd made the following statement: The managers of a company should use the same information as the shareholders of the firm. When managers use the same information to guide their internal operations as shareholders use in evaluating their investments, the managers will be aligned with the stockholders profit objectives. Prepare a one-half page memo to Todd discussing any concerns you might have with his statement.arrow_forward
- ASSIGNMENT REVIEW QUEST IONS Direction: Answer comprehensively the following questions. 1. Why should corporate governance be in place? 2. In a large corporation, what are the two distinct groups that report to the chief financial officer? Which group is the focus of corporate finance? 3. Would our goal of maximizing the value of the equity shares be different if we were thinking about financial management in a foreign country? Why or why not?arrow_forwardCHAPTER SUMMARY Ethical issues in finance are important because they bear on our financial well-being. Ethical misconduct, whether it be by individuals acting alone or by financial institutions, has the potential to rob people of their life savings. Because so much money is involved in financial dealings, there must be well-developed and effective safeguards in place to ensure personal and organizational ethics. Although the law governs much financial activity, strong emphasis must be placed on the integrity of finance professionals and on ethical leadership in our financial institutions. Some of the principles in finance ethics are common to other aspects of business, especially the duties of fiduciaries and fairness in sales practices and securities markets. However, such activities as insider trading and hostile takeovers raise unique issues that require special consideration. Insider trading is prohibited because it involves trading of information not publicly available or…arrow_forwardQuestion 1 Financial management in business organizations seeks to make financial decisions that would avoid some of the problems that organizations may encounter.
