Accounting

/in /by

The primary objective of financial accounting is providing information useful for decision makers, which has been the focus of the class.

Now, put what you’ve learned to use.

You have been asked to analyze your randomly selected companies’ financial statements (use the most recent annual financial statements), with a primary focus on if you would choose to invest in that particular company based on the information presented. (Remember the ultimate goal of financial accounting is to provide information useful to decision makers.)

Ask yourself these questions:

  • How strong is the company’s balance sheet?
  • How liquid is the company?
  • How have sales been?
  • How strong are the components of income?
  • How have expenses lined up year over year? (Has any particular expense increased more than expected?)
  • What is included in the notes to the financial statements?

When analyzing a company, you cannot learn much information when merely comparing the company to itself, so you must also determine how the company performed in comparison to prior years, as well as how it is performing when compared to competitors. Remember apples to apples comparisons. If you are looking at your companies’ 2018 financial statements, you should also be looking at the competitor(s)’ financial statements for the same period of time.

Objectives 4.6 and 5.10 provide techniques for analyzing financial statements. However, keep in mind that not all ratios will be relevant for all companies. (Hint: Think of what may be most important to know for the industry in which your company operates.)

After you’ve completed the numerical analysis, please provide a written summary, inclusive of your final determination.

Worth 200 points and 10% of your grade, your project will be measured on the following:

  • Analysis (includes ratios/analysis selected along with calculation)* – 40%
  • Written Communication (grammar and form) – 40%
  • Overall presentation (i.e. originality and overall layout) – 15%
  • Supporting documentation* – 5%

*Several websites provide company ratio analysis. If you provide no additional analysis for how said numbers were calculated and your own separate calculation, you will not get any points for the Analysis and Supporting documentation components.

Copy and paste the link below, to access and stream the movie The Big Buy: How Tom Delay Stole Congress, free online. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6rzv (Links to an external site.)

Choose from one of the prompts below, to respond to

  1. Thinking about federalism and the how power is distributed between multiple levels of government, including the federal and state level, identify current federal and Texas laws that regulate elections, such as those that provide for determining electoral processes, eligibility to participate in an election, selection methods, winning requirements, candidate qualifications, determining when and where election is held. Discuss inconsistencies and provide some possible examples to explain the potential effects these could have on electoral outcomes, of who is deemed winner, and ultimately achieving democratic representation of the appropriate people (constituents) who will be electorally linked and impacted by the winner of a political office.
  2. In your own opinion, is re-redistricting, before the decennial census, a crime, based on statutory and constitutional law? Or, given the nature and number of state level elections, across a wide geography made up of an extremely demographically heterogenous population, make it democratically necessary that re-mapping between census’s be a reserved power of the states, in order to maximize representative democracy. How could the remapping of Texas be applied to example and explain the state’s Don’t Mess With Texas, age old attitude, and individualistic political culture.
  3. How could you defend an argument that re-redistricting was not illegal, and how could you defend the argument that re-redistricting violated the Voting Rights Act. Despite, the Texas remapping controversy, should the federal judicial system be involved, in what Justice Felix Frankfurter called the “political thicket” of partisan redistricting?  Especially, since the power to redistrict is a power reserved to for the state, and its people. If political gerrymandering is a problem, should its resolve be left to the voters, state by state, and jurisdiction by jurisdiction, or to the federal government (i.e. oversight, regulation, intervention, law…what do you think).

Journal

Name key differences between Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, and Richard Brinsley Peake’s early dramatic adaptation, “Presumption, or the Fate of Frankenstein,” included in your text. Mary Shelley saw the production, and noted “the story was not well managed,” but also that it “created a breathless excitement in the audience.” Indeed, she marked the moment as key to her fame, writing, “Lo and behold, I found myself famous.” What was done to adapt the play? What does she mean the story is “not well managed”? How do Peake’s alterations effect the meaning of Shelley’s original?

Pay for Performance

/in /by

In the Lecture and Research Update, eight (8) limitations of performance-based pay are listed.  (A 1½-page response is required.)

  1. Discuss      four (4) limitations of performance-based pay in light of the relevant      theories discussed in the Lecture and Research Update and your      text (pp. 262-264). For example, you may discuss the limitation of      excessive dependence on monetary rewards in light of the expectancy and      goal setting theories.
  2. Use      this information to draw a conclusion as to whether the notion of      performance-based pay is fundamentally flawed or if it often fails because      of poor implementation.
