Valuation of USAK Truck Inc. When determining the appropriate intrinsic value of USAK Truck
Inc. 815 million shares of stock outstanding, it is suitable for this mature company with a stable
history of growth to use the constant growth model. Expected growth rates vary somewhat among
companies, but dividend growth for the most mature firms is generally expected to continue in the
future at about the same rate as nominal gross domestic product. In order to determine the required
rate of return to value stocks I used the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Using USAK's beta of 1.17, the
risk free rate of 1.35% (based on the t–bill rate) and the return on the market of 9% (the market
average over the past 75 years), the required rate of return for USAK's stock is 10.2835%.

advantages of finance lease are company can preserve the cash to use in other way. It is tax
deductable which the money will be record in expenses of the company. Avoiding risk of finance
lease is can't be cancel by the lenders and repayment is fixed so that it gives the company certainty.
Other than that it is easy to access and less paper work compare to hire purchase. Besides become
the lessee, Astion can become lessor which to purchase the assets to lessee. The company can get the
interest from the lessee, so that Astion can get a fix amount of payment from lessee. It also is
secured which the agreement can't be canceled by the lessee. Second long term source of finance is
warrants. Warrant is a type of long term call option which to purchase a fixed number of shares of
common stock at a predetermined price during a specified time period. Astion can use warrant in
case of they may have a new project in future which it will use a huge number of money. By using

Saving And Planning For The Future
Saving and planning for the future is an important task that every individual should plan for.
However, many times individuals feel overwhelmed and are anxious about how it is possible to
survive and plan for the future. The Bible gives us good insight into how we should plan and
manage our finances that pleases the Lord. 2 Corinthians 9:6 states "[w]hoever sows sparingly will
also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously" (ESV). It is possible to
save for the future while at the same time pleasing the Lord. For those who love the Lord and live
by his directions knows that God is a God of plans. Jeremiah tells us "For I know the plans that I
have for you, ' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and
hope" (Jeremiah 29:11, NASV). Concerning long–term finance, there is one story, in particular, the
story of Joseph the King of Dreams. In this story, God gave two prisoners a dream and gave Joseph
the ability to interpret them. That revelation of the dreams came to pass and in time, Pharaoh had a
dream. The news came to him of Joseph's ability to interpret the dream, and he sent for Joseph. The
dream was that there would be seven years of good and plenty, followed by seven years of famine
and destitution. Upon this revelation, Pharaoh made Joseph ruler over the house and land. God gave
Joseph a contingency plan. First, let us talk about what a contingency is. Contingency is any

Accounting Standards Update: Fair Market Value Of Penny
A farm machinery company has reacquired tractors and other parts and equipment from farmers. In
addition, the firm has acquired some miscellaneous inventory from competitors experiencing the
same misfortune. Penny, a first controller in this company, needs to determine how accurately the
inventory on the books reflects its fair market value. Ron, the inventory control clerk, told Penny
that only about a third of these items are repossessions, most are from overruns or the recession. As
Penny inquires further, it appears that this inventory moves slowly. When the inventory does sell, it

behavior imposes an obligation on professional accountants to comply with relevant laws and
regulations and avoid any action that may bring discredit to the profession. This includes actions
which a reasonable and informed third party, having knowledge of all relevant information, would
conclude negatively affects the good reputation of the profession. So if Art persists in manipulating

The Strategy Of The Deutsche Brauerei Essay
After evaluating the Deutsche Brauerei, I am giving my recommendation to Greta Schweitzer on the
January 2001 Board of Directors meeting agenda. The items we will be focusing are
The approval of the 2001 financial budget.
The declaration of quarterly dividends.
The compensation scheme of Oleg Pinchuk.
On the 2001 financial budget, Deutsche Brauerei calls for a EUR 7 million investment in plant and
equipment to be built in the Ukraine. I believe this investment will not benefit Deutsche Brauerei for
the reason that Ukraine distributors have defaulted on their payments since 1998. Deutsche Brauerei
has relaxed their terms to 2% 10, net 80 and yet they have not been able to meet their due dates.
Based on this I recommend Greta to: Tighten credit policy toward the Ukrainian distributors. Slow
capital expansion towards Ukraine in order to collect outstanding receivables. Focus on isolated
cities in the Ukraine that are meeting company standards (Kiev, Odessa)
The debt at Deutsche Brauerei is consistently rising and something needs to be done so the firm
does not over leverage itself. Current analysis of the breakeven point, degree of operating leverage,
financial leverage, and combined leverage indicate the company is approaching diminishing returns
(see exhibit 1). Debt growth will need to be minimized and reduced in the future financial plan.

This memorandum is based on the findings of my review of Big Time Publishing & Printing Inc and
its' current year financials. The overview of my assignment was to identify areas of concern by
looking at ratios, trend analysis, and reasonable analysis. My main goal was to find areas which
would take up additional time and/or require further investigation when we conduct the actual audit.
I also compared Big Time's financials with the industry's current average to give me a better
understanding of what the norm is. I would like to provide some insight on what areas are working. I
looked at what accounts appeared to be aligned with the industry's standards and are reasonable
when compared to the previous year's account balances. One important fact is that the percentage of
gross profit increased by 2.7% from 2015 to this year, due to the company having better sales
perhaps in regard to the rebounding economy. Another thing I would like to touch on is the
reduction we see in long term debt from 2015 to 2016, suggesting Big Time made payments to
reduce the principal owed and this theory is supported by the decrease we see in our cash account
from 2015 to 2016. The current ratio is a good example of another normal area, even though the
ratio went down from 2.12 in 2015 to 1.63 in 2016. According to the consumer publishing industry's
statistics this would still be within the reasonable range, which is anything between 2 and 1. The last

The Financial Performance of Low–Cost and Full–Service Airlines in Times of Crisis
Triant Flouris, Thomas John Walker. Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences. Halifax: Mar
2005. Vol. 22, Iss. 1; pg. 3, 18 pgs
Abstract
This paper examines the stock and accounting performance of three major airlines in the United
States in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. September 11 (9/11) resulted in
dramatic changes in the airline industry and had significant implications for the economic gains and
future prospects of most airlines. Our study focuses on the stock market's perception of the viability
of low–cost versus full–service business models in the aftermath of 9/11. We choose Southwest
Airlines as a typical ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Lawton (2003) advances the argument that low–cost carriers (LCCs) were in a position to go on the
offensive and aggressively exploit the changed industry climate after 9/11 by renegotiating labour
contracts, by negotiating lower prices for new airplanes in what had suddenly become a buyer's
market for new aircraft, and by pursuing aggressive pricing strategies to increase their market share
relative to legacy carriers. Legacy carriers, being exposed to a significantly higher overhead burden,
were forced into defensive strategies that provided them with little operational flexibility. These
developments are difficult to observe in the airlines' accounting figures in the short term, but if they
are perceived to change a firm's future cash flows they should be reflected in the market's valuation
of the firm's stock.
When investigating the impact that the events of 9/11 had on each airline's risk, we consider both the
systematic and unsystematic volatility of the stocks' returns. This allows us to differentiate between
risk factors that affected the market as a whole and risk factors that affected the firms specifically.
Although we employ only a small sample, our results are highly consistent.2 We observe that
Southwest performed significantly better after 9/11 than its mainstream competitors

Financial Crisis in This Time is Different by Reinhart and...
People always think that the technology renovations, institutional changes and experience gains can
make the world emerge from financial crisis saying that 'this time is different'. But they may be too
optimistic. The outrageous truth is that each new financial crisis is not predicted or forestalled. As
Reinhart and Rogoff said in their book 'This Time is Different', technology is changing, fashion is
changing, but self–deception of governments and investors are not.
A banking crisis usually refers to a situation in a general "market adjustment" when faith in banking
institutions falls, and people start trying to move their money to other places for safe keeping.
(RationalWiki) If we need to find something in common for all financial crises, that will be
excessive build–ups of debt. Excessive debt accumulation makes banking industry more profitable
and more stable than it really is and it will easily be ignored at the beginning. However, if the
equilibrate has been destroyed, systemic risk will grow and increases more quickly and greater than
usual.

Old Age Security And Modern Welfare System
Old age security has long since become a basic building block in any modern welfare system.
Likewise it has long since become a standard element in the battery of expectations held and shared
by citizens towards society. Pension systems are the vehicles by which these expectations are
catered for. Their effectiveness and reliability are extremely important to individuals as well as
societies. [] As reported by the Public Health England (PHE), individuals in the UK are expected to
live longer than before – the population of the UK is ageing. Men can now expect to live for a
further 19 years at age 65, 12 years at 75, 6 years at 85 and 3 years at 95 Women can expect to live
for a further 21 years at age 65, 13 years at 75, 7 years at 85, and 3 years at 95 With 10 million
people above the age of 65 years due to rise by approximately 5.5 million by 2020 and a further 19
million by 2050 according to census in 2010 by the UK government.[] This poses a challenge as it is
reported that 55%, £114bn in 2014/15, of the welfare spending is paid out to pensioners.[] As seen

Decision For Setting Non Financial Targets Essay
Introduction In the rapidly changing business environment, there is enormous pressure to conduct
activities in a better, controlled and efficient manner. The accelerating change creates uncertainties
and complexities thus creating challenges for management in their strategic plans. Management
cannot continue to rely on Management Accounting Control Systems whose primary emphasis is on
financial targets since such traditional analytical approaches can fail to adapt to the quick and
unexpected economic landscape. This paper provides that managers must not rely on quantitative
performance targets hence supports the argument for setting non–financial targets in organizational
objectives Discussion The measurement of performance is a great challenge in the contemporary
business world since the non–financial targets are hard to ascertain. It implies that an organization
could end up with inefficient and ineffective MACS that lead to poor utilization of resources and
ultimately increase the probability of organizational failure. The increasing strategic uncertainty
creates a problem to quantify the non–financial factors that could be incorporated in internal
controls (Hirst, 1983). Unavailability of qualitative targets also creates cases of dysfunctional
behaviors by subordinates in achieving organizational objectives. For a holistic perspective on
performance, control strategies must incorporate non–financial indicators since the gains are more
than the associated costs (Otley,

tracking also allows you to generate better models of spending your money and ensure that you are
able to improve your financial habits. There are various benefits of financial activity tracking. These
benefits have given rise to the use of automated financial managers in the modern times.

You can only take the right financial decisions if you understand the need for using a tool for rightly
tracking your financial activities. There are many points that stress on the need for using financial
activity tracking. Some of the important ones are the following:
Financial activity tracking allows people to monitor how they are spending. This monitoring then

start of a month.
It also allows you to revise your initial budget and create a new plan. The creation of a new plan
allows you to manage your finances in a more realistic manner. Midterm revisions in your budget

What Financial Planning Can Help People Plan For The Future
Larson, Brian talks about what financial planning is and how to help people plan for the future. How
many of you want to be able to go to college and be able to pay it off? Long term financial planning
is what people do when they are getting older and thinking about graduating. The key word here is
'Long–Term' this means that you will need to start planning now rather than later. The sooner you
start the better off you will be. This will mean that when you get older you will have enough money
to pay off college loans and sustain yourself. This can be a hard thing to do and that is why there are
people who can help you plan for the future and save money so that you won't go broke after four or
more years of college. So, the first thing we need to discuss is what long term financial planning
means. Long term financial planning is when you decide how much money you have now and how
much money you want to have after college or for retirement. Once you know that information, you
must create a plan to decide how much money you will need to save in order to accumulate assets. I

Ethics Case 6-4: Ethics Case report for Rate of Return Essay
The Damon Investment Company manages a mutual fund composed mostly of speculative stocks.
You recently saw an ad claiming that investments in the funds have been earning a rate of return of
21%. This rate seemed quite high so you called a friend who works for one of Damon's competitors.
The friend told you that the 21% return figure was determined by dividing the two–year
appreciation on investments in the fund by the average investment. In other words, $100 invested in
the fund two years ago would have grown to $121 ($21 ÷ $100 = 21%).

Persuasive Essay On Teen Curfew
"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the

majority of the people who have night jobs are teens. Teens trying to make a better life for
themselves. Yet the people of the city council wish to set a boundary on the dreams of many teens
by enforcing a 10pm curfew. All because some ignorant teens decided to do something dumb,
resulting the city council giving all teens a 10pm curfew. A curfew that may limit the growth of
many. This is not fair to all the good teens; the ones who wish to do something with there life.
Curfews generally don't work, because the disobedient children they are made for can commit any
crime during the day that they can at night. Some people my say that an early curfew will give
students more time to do school work. If a student does not get there work done at school then they
are not going to do it at home when they could be out with there friends. The curfew the city council
wishes to inforce may limit the growth of many teens. Such as teens who currently have after school

True Wealth Book Report
This chapter is all about taking the information from the previous four chapters and putting it to
work in the real world. My overall aim in this book is to teach you how to use your new–found
knowledge–your financial literacy–to create wealth. While I do that, it's important to look at the
knowledge I'm sharing as cumulative. Therefore, right now I want to circle back and remind you of
the primary lesson from Chapter One: the goal is to create true wealth, which I believe consists of
five categories: material wealth, physical wealth, psychological wealth, emotional wealth, and
spiritual wealth. These categories of wealth work synergistically to help you create a peaceful,
harmonious, stress–free life. They don't stand alone; each feeds into the other, and when they're all

In a nutshell, it's about creating assets and minimizing liabilities. You work because your time is an
asset, and you use it to put money in your pocket. You work because your native intelligence and
learned skills are assets–and you use them to put money in your pocket.
In the end, your work, your money and what you do with it is all about you: it's about controlling
what you can control, and not concerning yourself with what everyone else is doing. And don't
worry! It is possible to get your house in order and have total control, even in the current economic
climate.
Investments
When I say we're not going to worry about what everyone else is doing, I'm not saying we're going

Ethics Case 6-4: Ethics Case report for Rate of Return Essay
The Damon Investment Company manages a mutual fund composed mostly of speculative stocks.
You recently saw an ad claiming that investments in the funds have been earning a rate of return of
21%. This rate seemed quite high so you called a friend who works for one of Damon's competitors.
The friend told you that the 21% return figure was determined by dividing the two–year
appreciation on investments in the fund by the average investment. In other words, $100 invested in
the fund two years ago would have grown to $121 ($21 ÷ $100 = 21%).
Required:
Discuss the ethics of the 21% return claim made by the Damon Investment Company.

1. Publish the ad stating a 21% return, but not stating the time period over which this return was
earned.
2. Publish the ad including an explanation that the 21% rate is earned over a two year period. This
would still be somewhat misleading because they would not be following industry standards for
stating rates. This could be presented adjacent to the 21% rate or in fine print at the end of the
advertisement.
3. Publish an ad which correctly states the effective annual rate of the mutual fund.
Step 5–Evaluation of Alternatives in Terms of Values:
Alternative 1
Loyalty to the employer – while this is questionable over the long term, in the short term they would
be attracting more leads with a possibility of converting to customers.
Alternative 2
Honesty – Damon could explain their rate which would align with the value of honesty, but because
this presentation does not follow industry standards it would not follow any of the other values.
Alternative 3
Competence, Integrity and objectivity – the rate would be stated based on professional, industry and
ethical standards from an objective standpoint.
Honesty – the information is presented in a reliable manner that will be easily understood.
Loyalty to the employer – from a long term perspective the company's reputation and credibility in

Research And Development Teams May Not Be Based On...
Research and development teams may or may not know the uncertainties behind or surround new
technologies considering they are in the process of developing the product or service. It may try to
resist attempts to quantify value; but on the other hand; the financial department would think
otherwise, as it is evidence of woolly thinking. Of course, both sides are right in their own way.
When a newly modern advanced product is near to completion, no company will proceed without
detailed financial figures first. However, when an intriguing new idea is first generated, the decision
to take it further should not and must not be based on financial calculations alone.
Once future cash flows are forecast conservatively and cautiously and an appropriate discount rate is
chosen, next the present value will be calculated. Managers should acknowledge that, in valuing an
innovation project, there are not estimating the value of something that exists today but making a
prediction of the performance and goodness that the new product or service will generate in the
future. Leading companies treat the valuation and selection of innovation projects not as a single
decision but as an incentive for the prognostication process, in which the prediction of value
develops and improves over time. In a bit of ways it is comparable to weather forecasting, where the

Why Sports Organizations Develop Short And Long Term...
There are several reasons pertaining to why sports organizations develop short and long term
financial plans in order to move their organization in a positive direction. When it comes down to
developing short and long financial plans, we must first define them. Based on class lectures, short
term planning is a financial strategy that typically lasts less than two years that requires a company
to meet specific objectives while making decisions based off working capital along with a
reasonable cash budget that fulfills the company requirements. Also, one of the authors in Review of
Business and Finance Studies defined short–term financial planning as a concentration on a cash
venture's needs, which is considered as a source of lifeblood for any business venture, so they can
survive dreadful operating costs during its early stages (Whited). In relation to short term planning,
long–term financial planning lasts for at least two years or more and is considered to be more
future–oriented that focuses mainly on industry trends.
When it comes to short and long term financial planning, there are important concepts along with
other financial strategies that need to be covered. First, I will address major concepts that include

Dave Ramsey once said, "It's funny, when I began to listen to God and built an emergency fund, it
seems like I stopped having emergencies." To a degree, God will tell you his plans via dreams,
scriptures, messages or other people. He will warn you of trials and tribulations and he will also
provide you a way out; if only you will listen. The Bible can serve as an excellent source of wisdom
for how a Christian should save for the future. At the same time, the Bible calls us to give to further
God's kingdom on Earth. Sometimes, Christian's can find it hard to balance both, which can lead to
fear, and anxiety. The Bible calls us to trust the Lord, and acknowledge him always. Proverbs 3:5–6
states "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your
ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight" (ESV). God calls us to lean on Him
for strength, knowledge, and wisdom, but He also calls us not to be idle. The Bible references
providing for our household in 1 Timothy 5:8 "But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and
especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever"
(ESV). As Christians, we should work hard to make sure that our family is taken care of, and
provided for. At the same time, the Bible also calls us to give with our time and our money. We are

prices" (ft.com, 12 May 2004)
Increases were seen across all geographical regions of between 3 and 5%. Europe was the one
exception to this where revenues fell 2.8%, again due to continued pressure on ticket prices and
aggressive competition from ‘no–frills ' carriers.
A second consecutive year of rising revenues was experienced in 2006; an increase of 9.0% or

Despite the increased costs of tickets due to these surcharges, demand for air travel continued to

Leading central banks around the world assisted in regaining the financial system and bringing the

economic stability. The United States' central bank is known as the Federal Reserve, and they are

slow down the upcoming crisis. Throughout this paper I will discuss what steps were taken and what
steps should have been taken to help the United States during this time of financial instability.
The primary objective during a time of financial crisis, for all central banks, is stability. They try to
obtain this stability by attempting to do the following; implementing low and stable inflation, having
high and stable real growth, along with high employment, sustaining stable financial markets and
institutions, maintaining stable interest rates, and creating a stable exchange rate. It is impossible to
achieve all of these objectives at once, therefore tradeoffs must be made. Too much instability in one
of the five objectives could result in economy–wide risk. The United States subsequently failed in 3

valuable experience to develop my ability on how to analyze financial report more effectively, and
gain strength of my interpersonal communication skill with others in the workplace. There were
three main goals that I would love to achieve by the end of my internship. During my internship, I
believe that I receive the expected result that I did not reliable as beginning of my internship. So I
think I do not need to revise any goals and plans for this internship. Furthermore, there are many
different things that I love to learn more but three months doing the internship may be still the short
term that I hope I would like to have more time to be able of learning these new things that will help
for my professional life.

financial report more effectively and correctly by learning and practicing on those task assignments

along with three main goals that I need to achieve, so I just follow all the goals that I have to make

Majority Of Investors And Financial Analysts From Time

  • 1. Majority Of Investors And Financial Analysts From Time Majority of investors and financial analysts from time to time utilize the fundamental analysis so as to enable buyers and sellers of stocks to make an informed decision. In this project I will specifically perform thorough market value analysis of the United States Truck Inc. and Celadon Group, Inc. which is the main competitor in logistics industry, perform ratio analysis and use these ratios to evaluate the company against its primary competitor and finally analyze the company on each of the ratios both in time series and cross–sectional analysis. To start, it is prudent to have a better brief overview of these two companies. Brief overview of USA Truck Inc. This company is specialized in offering general logistics services ...

In offering logistic solutions Celadon uses modern facilities which has enable it to effectively satisfy the needs and wants of its consumers more than its competitors. This has made Celadon to attract and retain large pool of partners in the logistics sector. Valuation of USAK Truck Inc. When determining the appropriate intrinsic value of USAK Truck Inc. 815 million shares of stock outstanding, it is suitable for this mature company with a stable history of growth to use the constant growth model. Expected growth rates vary somewhat among companies, but dividend growth for the most mature firms is generally expected to continue in the future at about the same rate as nominal gross domestic product. In order to determine the required rate of return to value stocks I used the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Using USAK's beta of 1.17, the risk free rate of 1.35% (based on the t–bill rate) and the return on the market of 9% (the market average over the past 75 years), the required rate of return for USAK's stock is 10.2835%. Using USAK's reported dividend growth rate of 8.2% the expected dividends for the years 2014, 2015, 2016 are .8115, .8780, .95 respectively. This was ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

So we suggest some way for generating fund when this company running project which is over the amount of company retains earning. Those ways can different into 2 categories which are short term sources of finance and long term sources of finance. The first short term source of finance is debt factoring.

The advantages of finance lease are company can preserve the cash to use in other way. It is tax deductable which the money will be record in expenses of the company. Avoiding risk of finance lease is can't be cancel by the lenders and repayment is fixed so that it gives the company certainty. Other than that it is easy to access and less paper work compare to hire purchase. Besides become the lessee, Astion can become lessor which to purchase the assets to lessee. The company can get the interest from the lessee, so that Astion can get a fix amount of payment from lessee. It also is secured which the agreement can't be canceled by the lessee. Second long term source of finance is warrants. Warrant is a type of long term call option which to purchase a fixed number of shares of common stock at a predetermined price during a specified time period. Astion can use warrant in case of they may have a new project in future which it will use a huge number of money.

  • 9. Saving And Planning For The Future Saving and planning for the future is an important task that every individual should plan for. However, many times individuals feel overwhelmed and are anxious about how it is possible to survive and plan for the future. The Bible gives us good insight into how we should plan and manage our finances that pleases the Lord. 2 Corinthians 9:6 states "[w]hoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously" (ESV). It is possible to save for the future while at the same time pleasing the Lord. For those who love the Lord and live by his directions knows that God is a God of plans. Jeremiah tells us "For I know the plans that I have for you, ' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and hope" (Jeremiah 29:11, NASV). Concerning long–term finance, there is one story, in particular, the story of Joseph the King of Dreams. In this story, God gave two prisoners a dream and gave Joseph the ability to interpret them. That revelation of the dreams came to pass and in time, Pharaoh had a dream. The news came to him of Joseph's ability to interpret the dream, and he sent for Joseph. The dream was that there would be seven years of good and plenty, followed by seven years of famine and destitution. Upon this revelation, Pharaoh made Joseph ruler over the house and land. God gave Joseph a contingency plan. First, let us talk about what a contingency is. Contingency is any unexpected situation ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

In addition, the firm has acquired some miscellaneous inventory from competitors experiencing the same misfortune. Penny, a first controller in this company, needs to determine how accurately the inventory on the books reflects its fair market value. Ron, the inventory control clerk, told Penny that only about a third of these items are repossessions, most are from overruns or the recession. As Penny inquires further, it appears that this inventory moves slowly. When the inventory does sell, it is at a significant discount. But Art, the Company President, asked Penny not to point out this problem to the auditors and falsify records if it looked ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... First, Penny tells Art the risks and the consequences if he asks Penny to falsify records. Once auditors find "cooked" financial statement, Art will assume the main responsibility as a President Director. Code of ethic for professional accountant §150 states that the principle of professional behavior imposes an obligation on professional accountants to comply with relevant laws and regulations and avoid any action that may bring discredit to the profession. This includes actions which a reasonable and informed third party, having knowledge of all relevant information, would conclude negatively affects the good reputation of the profession. So if Art persists in manipulating the record, as a professional accountant, Penny should correct books records. So she cannot falsify the records and lie. In this process, Art may impede disclosure.

  • 17. The Strategy Of The Deutsche Brauerei Essay After evaluating the Deutsche Brauerei, I am giving my recommendation to Greta Schweitzer on the January 2001 Board of Directors meeting agenda. The items we will be focusing are The approval of the 2001 financial budget. The declaration of quarterly dividends. The compensation scheme of Oleg Pinchuk. On the 2001 financial budget, Deutsche Brauerei calls for a EUR 7 million investment in plant and equipment to be built in the Ukraine. I believe this investment will not benefit Deutsche Brauerei for the reason that Ukraine distributors have defaulted on their payments since 1998. Deutsche Brauerei has relaxed their terms to 2% 10, net 80 and yet they have not been able to meet their due dates. Based on this I recommend Greta to: Tighten credit policy toward the Ukrainian distributors. Slow capital expansion towards Ukraine in order to collect outstanding receivables. Focus on isolated cities in the Ukraine that are meeting company standards (Kiev, Odessa) The debt at Deutsche Brauerei is consistently rising and something needs to be done so the firm does not over leverage itself. Current analysis of the breakeven point, degree of operating leverage, financial leverage, and combined leverage indicate the company is approaching diminishing returns (see exhibit 1). Debt growth will need to be minimized and reduced in the future financial plan. After viewing ratios, we see a significant increase in short term borrowings, consequently witnessing long term borrowing ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The overview of my assignment was to identify areas of concern by looking at ratios, trend analysis, and reasonable analysis. My main goal was to find areas which would take up additional time and/or require further investigation when we conduct the actual audit. I also compared Big Time's financials with the industry's current average to give me a better understanding of what the norm is. I would like to provide some insight on what areas are working. I looked at what accounts appeared to be aligned with the industry's standards and are reasonable when compared to the previous year's account balances. One important fact is that the percentage of gross profit increased by 2.7% from 2015 to this year, due to the company having better sales perhaps in regard to the rebounding economy. Another thing I would like to touch on is the reduction we see in long term debt from 2015 to 2016, suggesting Big Time made payments to reduce the principal owed and this theory is supported by the decrease we see in our cash account from 2015 to 2016. The current ratio is a good example of another normal area, even though the ratio went down from 2.12 in 2015 to 1.63 in 2016. According to the consumer publishing industry's statistics this would still be within the reasonable range, which is anything between 2 and 1. The last two accounts that I would consider normal is ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences. Halifax: Mar 2005. Vol. 22, Iss. 1; pg. 3, 18 pgs Abstract This paper examines the stock and accounting performance of three major airlines in the United States in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. September 11 (9/11) resulted in dramatic changes in the airline industry and had significant implications for the economic gains and future prospects of most airlines. Our study focuses on the stock market's perception of the viability of low–cost versus full–service business models in the aftermath of 9/11. We choose Southwest Airlines as a typical ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Lawton (2003) advances the argument that low–cost carriers (LCCs) were in a position to go on the offensive and aggressively exploit the changed industry climate after 9/11 by renegotiating labour contracts, by negotiating lower prices for new airplanes in what had suddenly become a buyer's market for new aircraft, and by pursuing aggressive pricing strategies to increase their market share relative to legacy carriers. Legacy carriers, being exposed to a significantly higher overhead burden, were forced into defensive strategies that provided them with little operational flexibility. These developments are difficult to observe in the airlines' accounting figures in the short term, but if they are perceived to change a firm's future cash flows they should be reflected in the market's valuation of the firm's stock. When investigating the impact that the events of 9/11 had on each airline's risk, we consider both the systematic and unsystematic volatility of the stocks' returns. This allows us to differentiate between risk factors that affected the market as a whole and risk factors that affected the firms specifically. Although we employ only a small sample, our results are highly consistent.2 We observe that Southwest performed significantly better after 9/11 than its mainstream competitors ...

  • 29. Money Has Time Value On The Financial Investment Market Essay EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Money has time value in the financial investment market. The time value of money affects to a greater extent to many investors. So investor has to take account of time value for money. When investment is made in securities, it is found that volatility is more. Every person wants to save money and the money saved by those persons they do not keep it as idle and invest that money to make appreciation money. They are number of investment alternatives. The choice is up to investor who wants to invest according to their interest and it depends upon the rate of return or the amount of return and risk expect from the individual. Some individual want high return and ready to take high risk. Investors who want to take high risk will go for equity they earn more returns. If the individual does not want to take more risk they will prefer for depositing in banks. Investment in mutual fund, debentures, bonds, preference share, Govt.

People always think that the technology renovations, institutional changes and experience gains can make the world emerge from financial crisis saying that 'this time is different'. But they may be too optimistic. The outrageous truth is that each new financial crisis is not predicted or forestalled. As Reinhart and Rogoff said in their book 'This Time is Different', technology is changing, fashion is changing, but self–deception of governments and investors are not. A banking crisis usually refers to a situation in a general "market adjustment" when faith in banking institutions falls, and people start trying to move their money to other places for safe keeping. (RationalWiki) If we need to find something in common for all financial crises, that will be excessive build–ups of debt. Excessive debt accumulation makes banking industry more profitable and more stable than it really is and it will easily be ignored at the beginning. However, if the equilibrate has been destroyed, systemic risk will grow and increases more quickly and greater than usual.

Likewise it has long since become a standard element in the battery of expectations held and shared by citizens towards society. Pension systems are the vehicles by which these expectations are catered for. Their effectiveness and reliability are extremely important to individuals as well as societies. [] As reported by the Public Health England (PHE), individuals in the UK are expected to live longer than before – the population of the UK is ageing. Men can now expect to live for a further 19 years at age 65, 12 years at 75, 6 years at 85 and 3 years at 95 Women can expect to live for a further 21 years at age 65, 13 years at 75, 7 years at 85, and 3 years at 95 With 10 million people above the age of 65 years due to rise by approximately 5.5 million by 2020 and a further 19 million by 2050 according to census in 2010 by the UK government.[] This poses a challenge as it is reported that 55%, £114bn in 2014/15, of the welfare spending is paid out to pensioners.[] As seen in the chart above, it is due to further increase and will put more pressure on the public finances – finances whose strain will fall on the shoulders of small working–age population.

Decision For Setting Non Financial Targets Essay Introduction In the rapidly changing business environment, there is enormous pressure to conduct activities in a better, controlled and efficient manner. The accelerating change creates uncertainties and complexities thus creating challenges for management in their strategic plans. Management cannot continue to rely on Management Accounting Control Systems whose primary emphasis is on financial targets since such traditional analytical approaches can fail to adapt to the quick and unexpected economic landscape. This paper provides that managers must not rely on quantitative performance targets hence supports the argument for setting non–financial targets in organizational objectives Discussion The measurement of performance is a great challenge in the contemporary business world since the non–financial targets are hard to ascertain. It implies that an organization could end up with inefficient and ineffective MACS that lead to poor utilization of resources and ultimately increase the probability of organizational failure. The increasing strategic uncertainty creates a problem to quantify the non–financial factors that could be incorporated in internal controls (Hirst, 1983). Unavailability of qualitative targets also creates cases of dysfunctional behaviors by subordinates in achieving organizational objectives. For a holistic perspective on performance, control strategies must incorporate non–financial indicators since the gains are more than the associated costs (Otley, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

How many of you want to be able to go to college and be able to pay it off? Long term financial planning is what people do when they are getting older and thinking about graduating. The key word here is 'Long–Term' this means that you will need to start planning now rather than later. The sooner you start the better off you will be. This will mean that when you get older you will have enough money to pay off college loans and sustain yourself.

The friend told you that the 21% return figure was determined by dividing the two–year appreciation on investments in the fund by the average investment. In other words, $100 invested in the fund two years ago would have grown to $121 ($21 ÷ $100 = 21%). Required: Discuss the ethics of the 21% return claim made by the Damon Investment Company.

Research and development teams may or may not know the uncertainties behind or surround new technologies considering they are in the process of developing the product or service. It may try to resist attempts to quantify value; but on the other hand; the financial department would think otherwise, as it is evidence of woolly thinking. Of course, both sides are right in their own way. When a newly modern advanced product is near to completion, no company will proceed without detailed financial figures first. However, when an intriguing new idea is first generated, the decision to take it further should not and must not be based on financial calculations alone. Once future cash flows are forecast conservatively and cautiously and an appropriate discount rate is chosen, next the present value will be calculated. Managers should acknowledge that, in valuing an innovation project, there are not estimating the value of something that exists today but making a prediction of the performance and goodness that the new product or service will generate in the future. Leading companies treat the valuation and selection of innovation projects not as a single decision but as an incentive for the prognostication process, in which the prediction of value develops and improves over time.

There are several reasons pertaining to why sports organizations develop short and long term financial plans in order to move their organization in a positive direction. When it comes down to developing short and long financial plans, we must first define them. Based on class lectures, short term planning is a financial strategy that typically lasts less than two years that requires a company to meet specific objectives while making decisions based off working capital along with a reasonable cash budget that fulfills the company requirements. Also, one of the authors in Review of Business and Finance Studies defined short–term financial planning as a concentration on a cash venture's needs, which is considered as a source of lifeblood for any business venture, so they can survive dreadful operating costs during its early stages (Whited). In relation to short term planning, long–term financial planning lasts for at least two years or more and is considered to be more future–oriented that focuses mainly on industry trends. When it comes to short and long term financial planning, there are important concepts along with other financial strategies that need to be covered.

To a degree, God will tell you his plans via dreams, scriptures, messages or other people. He will warn you of trials and tribulations and he will also provide you a way out; if only you will listen. The Bible can serve as an excellent source of wisdom for how a Christian should save for the future. At the same time, the Bible calls us to give to further God's kingdom on Earth. Sometimes, Christian's can find it hard to balance both, which can lead to fear, and anxiety. The Bible calls us to trust the Lord, and acknowledge him always. Proverbs 3:5–6 states "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight" (ESV). God calls us to lean on Him for strength, knowledge, and wisdom, but He also calls us not to be idle. The Bible references providing for our household in 1 Timothy 5:8 "But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever" (ESV). As Christians, we should work hard to make sure that our family is taken care of, and provided for. At the same time, the Bible also calls us to give with our time and our money. We are to give of our time and talents to further the kingdom of God, and we are to do that ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Financial Forecasting Time Series Models for Forecasting New One–Family Houses Sold in the United States Introduction The economic recession felt in the United States since the collapse of the housing market in 2007 can be seen by various trends in the housing market. This collapse claimed some of the largest financial institutions in the U.S. such as Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers, as they held over– leveraged positions in the mortgage backed securities market. Credit became widely available to unqualified borrowers during the nineties and the early part of the next decade which caused bankers to act predatorily in their lending practices, as they could easily sell and package subprime mortgage loans on leverage.

We will use a larger sample, in this case 24 months, so that we can see the regularly reoccurring fluctuations from one year to the next. When we look at the graph in Figure 3 we notice great increases with lag 12 and lag 24.

The tremendous forfeitures that the housing and stock market are experiencing have in turn caused a credit calamity in America. According to the Institute for Policy Studies and United for a Fair Economy (2007), "last year CEOs of companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index on average took in 10.5 million in pay, which was 344 times the average U.S. worker" (as cited in Reuters, 2008). If the government is going to ask tax payers to bail out the financial industry, the top executives of these mortgage institutions should be held responsible for getting these institutions back on track, and it should begin with compensation reductions not increases. Even after the economy does recover, these executives should not be able to regain the salary that they lost.

Helping The United States During The Time Of Financial Crisis Leading central banks around the world assisted in regaining the financial system and bringing the economy back to good terms at the peak of the financial crisis. Together they helped stop the financial system from upturning, and with tremendous effort, helped reestablish financial and economic stability. The United States' central bank is known as the Federal Reserve, and they are accountable for making sure the country's financial system functions effortlessly. During the crisis of 2007–2009 the Federal Reserve was passive and did not take the lengths necessary to help stop or slow down the upcoming crisis. Throughout this paper I will discuss what steps were taken and what steps should have been taken to help the United States during this time of financial instability. The primary objective during a time of financial crisis, for all central banks, is stability. They try to obtain this stability by attempting to do the following; implementing low and stable inflation, having high and stable real growth, along with high employment, sustaining stable financial markets and institutions, maintaining stable interest rates, and creating a stable exchange rate. It is impossible to achieve all of these objectives at once, therefore tradeoffs must be made. Too much instability in one of the five objectives could result in economy–wide risk. The United States subsequently failed in 3 or more of these objectives causing the financial crisis. The first they failed in was low and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
