- FORECASTING THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF ABERCROMBIE FITCH Use online resources to work on this chapters questions. Please note that website information changes over time, and these changes may limit your ability to answer some of these questions. Clothing retailer Abercrombie Fitch enjoyed phenomenal success in the late 1990s. Between 1996 and 2000, its sales grew almost fourfoldfrom 335 million to more than 1.2 billionand its stock price soared by more than 500%. However, in 2002, its growth rate had begun to slow down, and Abercrombie had a hard time meeting its quarterly earnings targets. As a result, the stock price in late 2002 was about half of what it was 3 years earlier. Abercrombies struggles resulted from increased competition, a sluggish economy, and the challenges of staying ahead of the fashion curve. From late 2002 until November 2007, the companys stock rebounded strongly; however, its stock price declined during the 2008 economic downturn. Its stock price rebounded until late October 2011, when it began a downward trend again. Questions remain about the firms long-term growth prospects. However the company has been cutting costs and trying to improve productivity with its focus on the supply chain. In addition, it has been actively repurchasing shares, indicating that management believes its shares are undervalued. The company continues to steadily expand stores abroad while closing under-performing domestic stores. Given the questions about Abercrombies future growth rate, analysts have focused on the companys earnings reports. Financial websites such as Yahoo! Finance, Morningstar, and MSN Money (www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets) provide information on the companys recent earnings history along with a summary of analysts earnings forecasts. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Based on analysts forecasts, what is the expected long-term (5-year) growth rate in earnings?arrow_forwardCodification Situation You are conducting an accounting research project for your boss. Your boss has asked you to determine the appropriate U.S. GAAP that specifies how your company should recognize revenues from the sales of products in a retail store. Your boss is confused because most customers pay cash, but some customers purchase on credit terms, and pay in cash 30 days later. Your manager also wants you to determine the GAAP guidance for how revenue should be recognized in income. Your manager has a lot of knowledge and experience in accounting and has heard about, but has never used, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification system. Directions Use the FASB Accounting Standards Codification system to conduct the research your manager has assigned to you. Use the Codification to determine how to recognize revenue from retail sales, including the right to return. Be prepared to show your manager the specific FASB ASC references that provide the appropriate guidance. Also prepare a brief memo explaining to your manager the different levels of the Codification and how to use the Codification system.arrow_forwardV5.arrow_forward
