properly analyze those events to identify the impact on both cash and
accrual accounting methods.
Assignment Steps
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Scenario: BizCon, a consulting firm, has just completed its first year of
operations. The company's sales growth was explosive. To encourage
clients to hire its services, BizCon offered 180-day financing - meaning
its largest customers do not pay for nearly 6 months. Because BizCon is
a new company, its equipment suppliers insist on being paid cash on
delivery. Also, it had to pay up front for 2 years of insurance. At the end
of the year, BizCon owed employees for one full month of salaries, but
due to a cash shortfall, it promised to pay them the first week of next
year.
As the senior accountant, the Chief Financial Officer has asked you to
prepare a memo to be sent to management notifying them of the delayed
wage payments.
Prepare the memo in a maximum 700 words including the following
information to better outline the situation:
• Explain how cash and accrual accounting differs for each of the events
listed in the above scenario and describe the proper accrual accounting.

• Assess how at the end of the year, BizCon reported a favorable net
income, yet the company's management is concerned because the
company is very short of cash. Explain to management how BizCon
could have positive net income and yet run out of cash.

ACC 561 Week 5 Assignment Case Study CVP, Break-even,
margin of safety (Mary Willis, New Syllabus)

www.newtonhelp.com
Week Five Individual Assignment
The Case Study focuses on CVP (Cost-Volume-Profit), break-even, and
margin of safety analyses which allows students to experience working
through a business scenario and applying these tools in managerial
decision making.
Assignment Steps
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Scenario: Mary Willis is the advertising manager for Bargain Shoe
Store. She is currently working on a major promotional campaign. Her
ideas include the installation of a new lighting system and increased
display space that will add $24,000 in fixed costs to the $270,000 in
fixed costs currently spent. In addition, Mary is proposing a 5% price
decrease ($40 to $38) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume
(20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at $24 per pair of shoes.
Management is impressed with Mary's ideas but concerned about the
effects these changes will have on the break-even point and the margin
of safety.

• Compute the current break-even point in units, and compare it to the
break-even point in units if Mary's ideas are used.
• Compute the margin of safety ratio for current operations and after
Mary's changes are introduced (Round to nearest full percent).
• Prepare a CVP (Cost-Volume-Profit) income statement for current
operations and after Mary's changes are introduced.
Prepare a maximum 700-word informal memo to management
addressing Mary's suggested changes.
• Explain whether Mary's changes should be adopted. Why or why not?
Analyze the above information (three bullet points above) and use this
information to support your suggestion.

Review the case study posted to the week five projects thread and write
a paper between 1,000 and 2,000 words addressing the following:

Part 1: Respond to the questions incorporated with the case study.
Part 2: Assume your team decides to invest in the business. Prepare a
variable costing income statement using monthly projections for revenue
and expenses. In order to support your findings, include a list of all
assumptions, issues, and factors directly or indirectly related to your
conclusions. Complete sections (1) and (2) from the case study a second
time using your team's projections of sales volume, variable expenses,
and fixed expenses.
Format the paper consistent with APA guidelines. In addition to the
paper, include an Excel spreadsheet that supports all numbers and
calculations. Submit the paper, spreadsheet, and plagiarism review file
via the assignment files tab.
Many of you will some day own your own business. One rapidly
growing opportunity is no-frills workout centers. Such centers attract
customers who want to take advantage of state-of-the-art fitness
equipment but do not need the other amenities of full-service health
clubs. One way to own your own fitness business is to buy a franchise.
Snap Fitness is a Minnesota-based business that offers franchise
opportunities. For a very low monthly fee ($27, without an annual
contract) customers can access a Snap Fitness center 24 hours a day.
The Snap Fitness website (www.snapfitness.com) indicates that start-up
costs range from $60,000 to $184,000. This initial investment covers the
following pre-opening costs: franchise fee, grand opening marketing,
leasehold improvements, utility/rent deposits, and training.
Part 1 (Sections 1 - 4):

Section 1: Suppose that Snap Fitness estimates that each location incurs
$5,000 per month in general fixed operating expenses and $1,000 to
lease equipment. Mixed costs are equal to $500 per/month (fixed) plus
$1 per membership sale (variable). Total variable costs were not
provided. A recent newspaper article describing no-frills fitness centers
indicated that a Snap Fitness site might require only 320 members to
break even. Members pay on a monthly basis. Using the information
provided above, and your knowledge of CVP analysis, estimate the
amount of variable costs. (When performing your analysis, assume that
fixed costs include estimated monthly operating expenses, equipment
lease and the fixed part of mixed costs.)
Section 2: Using the information from part 1, section 1, what would
monthly sales in members and dollars have to be to achieve a target net
income of $15,000 for the month?
Section 3: Provide several examples of variable costs and fixed costs for
a fitness center. Discuss how a fitness center's cost structure, relevant
range, margin of safety, cost behaviors, and CVP apply to the case
study. How do you plan to use this in order to manage the business and
plan for profitability? What type of internal accounting reports would
you like to review in order to help you make informed decisions?
Section 4: Go to a competitor's internet site and find information about
purchasing their franchise. Summarize the pertinent information
required to make an informed investment decision. Which franchise do
you believe is a better business opportunity? Explain your answer.
Part 2: See CVP and Break Even Analysis project instructions for
further details.

This Tutorial contains 2 PPT of this Assignment
Week Five Learning Team Assignment
The case study focuses on break-even, margin of safety, and incremental
analysis and allows students to experience working through a business
scenario to apply these tools in managerial decision making. Students

are required to make decisions and provide solutions based on their
evaluation of financial data.
Assignment Steps
Scenario: Shelley Jones has just been elected as president of the
Circular Club of Auburn, Kansas, and she has been asked to suggest a
new fundraising activity for the club. After a considerable amount of
research, Shelley proposed the Circular Club sponsor a professional
rodeo. In her presentation to the club, Shelley recommends the
fundraiser become an annual activity with the following goals:
· Continue to grow each year
· Give back to the community
· Provide the club a presence in the community
Shelley's goal in the first year is to have an activity that would become
an "annual community event" and would break even the first year and
raise $5,000 the following year. In addition, based on the experience of
other communities, Shelley believed a rodeo could grow in popularity so
the club would eventually earn an average of $20,000 annually.
A rodeo committee was formed. Shelley contacted the world's oldest and
largest rodeo-sanctioning agency to apply to sponsor a professional
rodeo. The sanctioning agency requires a rodeo to consist of the
following five events: Bareback Riding, Bronco Riding, Steer Wrestling,
Bull Riding, and Calf Roping, Team Roping and Women's Barrels. Prize
money in the amount of $3,000 would be paid to winners in each of the
seven events. Members of the rodeo committee contracted with RJ
Cattle Company, a livestock contractor on the rodeo circuit, to provide

bucking stock, fencing, and chutes. Realizing costs associated with the
rodeo were tremendous and ticket sales would probably not be sufficient
to cover the costs, the rodeo committee sent letters to local businesses
soliciting contributions in exchange for various sponsorships. Exhibiting
Sponsorships are $1,000 to exhibit products or services, while Major
Sponsorships are $600, and Chute Sponsorships are $500 to have the
name of the sponsor's business on one of the six bucking chutes. For a
contribution of $100, individual sponsors will be included in a Friends
of Rodeo list found in the rodeo programs.
A local youth group will be contacted to provide concessions to the
public and divide the profits with the Circular Club. The Auburn
Circular Club Pro Rodeo Roundup will be held on June 1, 2, and 3. The
cost of an adult ticket is set at $8 in advance or $10 at the gate; the cost
of a ticket for a child 12 or younger is set at $6 in advance or $8 at the
gate. Tickets are not date-specific. Rather, one ticket will admit an
individual to one performance of his or her choice-- Friday, Saturday, or
Sunday. The rodeo committee is able to secure a location through the
county supervisors' board at a nominal cost to the Circular Club. The
arrangement allows for the use of the county fair grounds and arena for a
one-week period. Several months prior to the rodeo, members of the
rodeo committee were notified the bleachers at the arena would hold
2,500 patrons. On Saturday night, paid attendance was 1,663, but all
seats were filled due to poor gate controls. Attendance was
898 Friday and 769 on Sunday.
The following revenue and expense figures relate to the first year of the
rodeo.
Receipts
Contributions from sponsors $22,000
Receipts from ticket sales $28,971
Share of concession profits $1,513

Sale of programs $600
Total receipts $53,084
Expenses
Livestock contractor $26,000
Prize money $21,000
Contestant hospitality $3,341*
Sponsor signs for arena $1,900
Insurance $1,800
Ticket printing $1,050
Sanctioning fees $925
Entertainment $859
Judging fees $750
Port-a-potties $716
Rent $600
Hay for horses $538
Programs $500
Western hats to first 500 children $450
Hotel rooms for stock contractor $325
Utilities $300
Sand for arena $251
Miscellaneous fixed costs $105
Total expenses $61,410
Net loss $ (8,326)
*The club contracted with a local caterer to provide a tent and food for
the contestants. The cost of the food was contingent on the number of
contestants each evening. Information concerning the number of
contestants and the costs incurred are as follows:
Contestants Total Cost
Friday 68 $998
Saturday 96 $1,243

Sunday 83 $1,100
$3,341
On Wednesday after the rodeo, members of the rodeo committee met to
discuss and critique the rodeo. Jonathan Edmunds, CPA and President of
the Circular Club, commented that the club did not lose money. Rather,
Jonathan said, "The club made an investment in the rodeo." The rodeo
committee has requested an analysis of the rodeos performance and
evaluation of the CPA's review.
Create a minimum 10-slide presentation, including detailed speaker
notes, as the committee's consultation team and respond to the
following:
· What did Jonathan Edmunds mean when he said the club had made an
investment in the rodeo? Is his comment consistent with Shelley's idea
that the club should have a fundraiser that would:
o Continue to get better each year.
o Give back to the community.
o Provide the club a presence in the community? Why or why not?
· Shelley, Jonathan, and Adrian Stein, the Fundraising Chairperson, are
beginning to make plans for next year's rodeo. Shelley believes by
negotiating with local feed stores, inn- keepers, and other business
owners, costs can be cut dramatically. Jonathan agrees. After carefully
analyzing costs, Jonathan has estimated the fixed expenses can be pared
to approximately $51,000. In addition, Jonathan estimates variable costs
are 4% of total gross receipts. After talking with business owners who
attended the rodeo, Adrian is confident the funds solicited from sponsors
will increase. Adrian is comfortable in budgeting revenue from sponsors
at $25,600. The local youth group is unwilling to provide concessions to
the audience unless they receive all of the profits. Not having the
personnel to staff the concession booth, members of the Circular Club
reluctantly agree to let the youth group have 100% of the profits from

the concessions. In addition, members of the rodeo committee,
recognizing the net income from programs was only $100, decide not to
sell rodeo programs next year.
o Compute the break-even point in dollars of ticket sales assuming
Adrian and Jonathan are correct in their assumptions.
· Shelley has just learned you are calculating the break-even point in
dollars of ticket sales. She is still convinced the Club can make a profit
using the assumptions above (second bullet point above).
o Calculate the dollars of ticket sales needed to earn a target profit of
$6,000.
o Calculate the dollars of ticket sales needed to earn a target profit of
$12,000.
· Are the facilities at the fairgrounds adequate to handle crowds needed
to generate ticket revenues calculated above (third bullet point above) to
earn a $6,000 profit? Show calculations to support your answers.
· A few members in the Circular Club do not want to continue with the
annual rodeo. However, Shelley is insistent the Club must continue to
conduct the rodeo as an annual fundraiser. Shelley argues she has spent
hundreds of dollars on western boots, hats, and other items of clothing to
wear to the rodeo. Are the expenses related to Shelley's purchases of
rodeo clothing relevant costs? Why or why not?
· Rather than hire the local catering company to cater the Contestant
Hospitality Tent, members of the Circular Club are considering asking
Shady's Bar-B-Q to cater the event in exchange for a $600 Major
Sponsor spot. In addition, The Fun Shop, a local party supply business,
will be asked to donate a tent to use for the event. The Fun Shop will
also be given a $600 Major Sponsor spot. Several members of the Club
are opposed to this consideration, arguing that the two Major Sponsor
spots will take away from the money to be earned through other
sponsors. Adrian Stein has explained to the members the Major Sponsor

signs for the arena cost only $48 each. In addition, there is more than
enough room to display two additional sponsor signs. What would you
encourage the Club to do concerning the Contestant Hospitality Tent?
Would your answer be different if the arena were limited in the number
of additional signs that could be displayed? What kind of cost would you
consider in this situation that would not be found on a financial
statement?
· Assume you are elected chair of the rodeo committee for next year.
What steps would you suggest the committee take to make the rodeo
profitable?

ACC 561 Week 6 Assignment Managerial Analysis
Assessment (Green Pasture, New Syllabus, 2 Papers)
www.newtonhelp.com
Week Six Individual Assignment
This comprehensive case requires students to evaluate a static budget
and prepare flexible budgets to meet managerial needs. Students are

required to calculate and analyze variances and discuss how variances
are critical to managerial decision making.
Assignment Steps
Securities and Exchange Committee (SEC), Green Pastures Static
Budget Income Statement
Scenario: Green Pastures is a 400-acre farm on the outskirts of the
Kentucky Bluegrass, specializing in the boarding of broodmares and
their foals. A recent economic downturn in the thoroughbred industry
has led to a decline in breeding activities, and it has made the boarding
business extremely competitive. To meet the competition, Green
Pastures planned in 2017 to entertain clients, advertise more extensively,
and absorb expenses formerly paid by clients such as veterinary and
blacksmith fees.
The budget report for 2017 is presented as an attachment. As shown, the
static income statement budget for the year is based on an expected
21,900 boarding days at $25 per mare. The variable expenses per mare
per day were budgeted: feed $5, veterinary fees $3, blacksmith fees
$0.25, and supplies $0.55. All other budgeted expenses were either
semifixed or fixed.
During the year, management decided not to replace a worker who quit
in March, but it did issue a new advertising brochure and did more
entertaining of clients.
• Based on the static budget report:
o What was the primary cause(s) of the loss in net income?

o Did management do a good, average, or poor job of controlling
expenses?
o Were management's decisions to stay competitive sound?
• Prepare a flexible budget report for the year.
• Based on the flexible budget report:
o What was the primary cause(s) of the loss in net income?
o Did management do a good, average, or poor job of controlling
expenses?
o Were management's decisions to stay competitive sound?
• What course of action do you recommend for the management of
Green Pastures?
