Editor's Notes

  • #2 Hello, my name is Tyler Madison, and this is my presentation for my Business Accounting course Week 4 portfolio assignment.
  • #3 The purpose of this presentation is to analyze the financial performance of production company Gemstar Productions. Acting as a Production Accountant for this company, I will be explaining Gemstar’s balance sheet, the asset and liability ratio, the profit and loss relating to the budget I created, the company’s cash flow and internal controls I’ve implemented to support the company.
  • #4 The balance sheet shown here is a synopsis of the latest month’s financial statements. This sheet shows Gemstar’s asset and liability accounts. The assets are the cash account, supplies inventory account, vehicles (a long-term asset) and a deposit at vendor account. The amount in the cash account is $40,000 because of a bank loan plus additional interest. The amount for the Supplies Inventory account is due to an initial balance of $2,000 minus a supplies expense of $666. The account for vehicles is due to an initial purchase of $14,250 with a depreciation expense of $296. The Deposit at Vendor is the original deposit for an event for the Sound Stage Arena.
  • #5 The main 3 ratios are debt to assets, return on assets, and return on equity. To calculate debt to assets, you divide the total debt of a company by the total assets. This calculation is intended to assess the company’s financial risk and overall ability to cover their obligations. To calculate return on assets, you divide the net income by the average total assets. This calculation is used to measure the efficiency of a company’s use of assets to generate profits. To calculate return on equity, you divide net income by shareholder’s equity. This calculation is used to measure a company’s ability to effectively generate profit for shareholder investments.
  • #6 The purpose of a profit and loss statement is to summarize the revenue, expenses, and net income of a company for a specific time period. With my determined budget of $15,000, there are several variances. The utilities and payroll expense variances were caused by reduced overtime and shortened business hours. The depreciation expense was a result of a minor part replacement of one of the assets. The interest expense is a result of small investments. The office expense variance was most likely caused by an overestimate of necessary supplies. The insurance expense variance was a result of the company adjusting its insurance policy. And lastly, the equipment rental expense was due to a refund on an unused equipment rental. 
  • #7 The purpose of cash flow statements is to provide a summary of the cash coming in and going out of a company. It primarily tracks cash generation by operating, investing, and financing activities. Operating activities represent the operational cash flows, investing activities represent flows from buying and/or selling of primarily long-term assets, and financing activities represent flows from loans, stock activity, or dividend payouts. The Deposit at Venue used cash because it was an immediate and verifiable way to pay a deposit to the venue. The Vehicle(s) was a cash purchase exclusively for business purposes. The Common Stock was an internal investment in the company from its president paid with cash.
  • #8 The 5 Internal Controls I chose for Gemstar were physical safeguards, employee training and awareness, regular audits, documentation and record keeping, and lastly reconciliation of accounts. Physical safeguards include key passes, personalized security codes for employees, and palm scans, which are maintained by records of use and surveillance of checkpoints. Employee training and awareness are intended to help maintain the physical safeguards and are maintained by routine training and meetings to recognize and report accounting oddities and suspicious behavior​. Regular audits are to help with record keeping and employee accountability. This will be maintained b​y scheduled audits performed by authorized employees and determined by department heads. Documentation and record keeping is another way to keep employees accountable and accurate records of accounts and employee activity. These can be done on paper and/or electronically. Lastly, the control of reconciliation of accounts. This is another measure that helps with accurate accounting, employee accountability, and prevention of suspicious activity. This measure is maintained by authorized employees performing special accounting across departments and finalized by higher management.
  • #9 Three concepts I've appreciated learning this month are the accounts for cash balancing, internal controls and the accounting ratios. Before this course, I knew very little about accounting, and these things gave me a broader understanding of the process of accounting, the importance of details for accurate accounting, and taught me how to properly create and execute a budget.
  • #10 Thank you.
