The Opportunity Richard Larson was excited about the challenge of improving PFVC’s profitability. He just completed the difficult task reorganizing and consolidating PFVC’s office in Sturgeon Bay with several long-term, highly-valued employees from the individually acquired vegetable companies no longer being severed. His assembled team in Sturgeon Bay was ready to tackle the task at hand. Several months ago, Carlos Rico, a marketing manager approached him with an innovative new convenience food product idea combining frozen vegetables, spaetzels (a coated seasoned pasta), and chicken in the same bag. It was designed to compete against other convenience foods such a frozen pizza. Based on preliminary analysis, the new product represented a potential homerun for PFVC with company sales expected to increase by 20 percent and predicted gross margins nearly double the current vegetable offerings. While the potential for this new product was palpable, Richard was a realist given PFVC’s history of new product introductions. The latest was Soup-in-a-Flash —a microwaveable soup starter kit introduced by PFVC’s predecessor Anchor Vegetables that failed miserably. It ended with the write-off of $10 million of unsold finished goods, packaging and manufacturing lines during the company reorganization. This represented half of the company’s profits from the prior year and served as a painful reminder to Richard of the team’s challenge. As a result, Parson Company executives were cautious and not enthusiastic about investing in another PFVC new product even though the management team associated with Soup-in-a-Flash was no longer with the company. Richard mused, “If this new product fails, my tenure as the CEO of the largest vegetable company in the United States may be short-lived.” Failure was not an option. The Team Richard decided to assemble a cross functional team of PFVC’s best sales, production and financial professionals to pursue this apparent golden opportunity of a new, healthy frozen convenience meal. Richard addressed the team, “Congratulations and welcome. You have been selected to participate in potentially the most important new product initiative in PFVC’s history. As you might recall, our last new product initiative Soup-in-a-Flash was not a rousing success. The new product you will be working on has the potential to create a whole new category of higher-margin convenience foods for PFVC. Initial projections look promising. This is Carlos’ idea, so I will let him explain.” As Richard gestured, Carlos stood and moved to the front of the conference room. “Thanks, Richard. Good afternoon. As many of you aware, we currently produce Pasta Done, a microwaveable product consisting of vegetables and spaetzels. But this innovative new product idea is going to take that concept one step further and is unlike anything on the market. We are going to add protein—in this case cooked chicken—to the vegetables and spaetzels .

The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of a company's annual report. Users of financial information need to understand the notes to accurately analyze a company. Harmonization does not exist on information included and calculations released in footnote disclosures. Below is a footnote disclosure from AT&T's 2007 Annual Report regarding foreign currency translation. The footnote below follows U.S. GAAP. Foreign Currency Translation Our foreign investments and foreign subsidiaries generally report their earnings in their local currencies. We translate our share of their foreign assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. We translate our share of their revenues and expenses using average rates during the year. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from exchange-rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in earnings as incurred. We have also entered into foreign currency contracts to minimize our exposure to risk of adverse changes in currency exchange rates. We are subject to foreign exchange risk for foreign currency-denominated transactions, such as debt issued, recognized payables and receivables and forecasted transactions. At December 31, 2007, our foreign currency exposures were principally Euros, British pound sterling, Danish krone and Japanese yen. Rewrite the footnote based upon the GAAP of the country USA .

THE NEED FOR EVIDENCE Almost all reasoning we encounter includes beliefs about the way the world was, is, or is going to be that the communicator wants us to accept as “facts.” These beliefs can be conclusions, reasons, or assumptions. We can refer to such beliefs as factual claims. The first question you should ask about a factual claim is, “Why should I believe it?” Your next question is, “Does the claim need evidence to support it?” If it does, and if there is no evidence, the claim is a mere assertion, meaning a claim that is not backed up in any way. You should seriously question the dependability of mere assertions! If there is evidence, your next question is, “How good is the evidence?” To evaluate reasoning, we need to remember that some factual claims can be counted on more than others. For example, you probably feel quite certain that the claim “most U.S. senators are men” is true, but less certain that the assertion “practicing yoga reduces the risk of cancer” is true. Because it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to establish the absolute truth or falsity of most claims, rather than asking whether they are true, we prefer to ask whether they are dependable. In essence, we want to ask, “Can we count on such beliefs?” The greater the quality and quantity of evidence supporting a claim, the more we can depend on it, and the more we can call the claim a “fact.” For example, abundant evidence exists that George Washington was the first president of the United States of America. Thus, we can treat that claim as a fact. On the other hand, there is much conflicting evidence for the belief “bottled water is safer to drink than tap water.” We thus can’t treat this belief as a fact. The major difference between claims that are opinions and those that are facts is the present state of the relevant evidence. The more supporting evidence there is for a belief, the more “factual” the belief becomes. Before we judge the persuasiveness of a communication, we need to know which factual claims are most dependable. How do we determine dependability? We ask questions like the following: What is your proof? How do you know that’s true? Where’s the evidence? Why do you believe that? Are you sure that’s true? Can you prove it? You will be well on your way to being among the best critical thinkers when you develop the habit of regularly asking these questions. They require those making arguments to be responsible by revealing the basis for their arguments. Anyone with an argument that you should consider will not hesitate to answer these questions. They know they have substantial support for their claims and, consequently, will want to share their evidence in the hope that you will learn to share their conclusions. When people react to simple requests for evidence with anger or withdrawal, they usually do so because they are embarrassed as they realize that, without evidence, they should have been less assertive about their beliefs. When we regula.
