Accounting

The CGMA Competency Framework incorporates technical, business, leadership, and people skills needed in the workplace today.  Consider the foundation in Financial Accounting you have received in this course (principals of accounting I) as an integral part of this skill set and as a building block for your future academic and professional journey. Additionally, take a look at the graphic explaining the concept of competency integration in accounting education. Notice how business and accounting have many points of intersection. CGMA Graphic:  https://www.cgma.org/resources/tools/cgma-competency-framework-2014.html Your supervisor has asked you to explain the value of the fact that you completed this accounting course.  Complete a two- to three-page report with your comments on the relationship of these concepts to accounting and to your organization to fulfill a request from your supervisor to explain the value of the accounting course supported with funding by your employer.    Use the following site for reference:  https://www.principlesofaccounting.com/

This assignment is about a subtle difference in auditing that took place after Sarbanes-Oxley in 2002 that affects only publicly-held companies. 1. In the multiple-choice question from chapter 11 pasted below, what does the word “non-issuer” mean? (you may use Google to find the answer)?     2. How might the answer differ if the client was an issuer (hint: go back to the Boeing assignment as the beginning of the semester)

Discuss differential analysis and provide an example.  Share your personal and/or professional experience using all or elements of differential analysis to make a decision.

Project: Evaluate the Capital Investment Scenario Shoals Corporation puts significant emphasis on cash flow when planning capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8 percent based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Shoals Corporation then uses different methods to determine the most appropriate capital outlays. This year, Shoals Corporation is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now owns. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes. The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes: Old Backhoes New Backhoes Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000 Salvage value now $42,000 Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000 Salvage value in 8 years $15,000 $90,000 Remaining life 8 years 8 years Net cash flow generated each year $30,425 $43,900 Instructions 1. Evaluate, discuss, and compare whether to purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.) Calculate the net present value of the old backhoes and the new backhoes. Discuss the net present value of each, including what the calculations reveal about whether the company should purchase the new backhoes or continue using the old backhoes. Calculate the payback period for keeping the old backhoes and purchasing the new backhoes. (Hint: For the old machines, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.) Discuss the payback method and what the payback periods of the old backhoes and new backhoes reveal about whether the company should purchase new backhoes or continue using the old backhoes. Calculate the profitability index for keeping the old backhoes and purchasing new backhoes. Discuss the profitability index of each, including what the calculations reveal about whether the company should purchase the new backhoes or continue using the old backhoes. 2. Identify and discuss any intangible benefits that might influence this decision. 3. Answer the following: Should the company purchase the new backhoes or continue using the old backhoes? Explain your decision.

Understanding what the net present value (NPV) tells us. The NPV decision rule says to accept the project if the NPV is greater than zero. You perform a thorough capital budgeting analysis on a project that requires a $1,000,000,000 initial investment and calculate the net present value (NPV) as $1. Following the rule, you tell your boss she should accept the project. She laughs and says “do you think I would really invest $1,000,000,000 for a measly $1 NPV? You should be fired” How would you respond to her? Real Options Give two examples of “real options” that you have come across in your professional life, or that may come up in projects in a business you wish to start, or that may come up in the projects at a company in which you hope to be employed. Your initial post should be at least 200 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources
