...According to FASB, This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. The argument behind the use of present value techniques is that more relevant information is produced due to factoring in the uncertainties and risks associated with the amount and timing of cash flows. This form of accounting measurement is designed to capture the economic substance of a set of cash flows in a manner similar to that of how the market behaves. Present value techniques attempt to measure assets (or liabilities) at their fair value. Present value in accounting measurements argues that its application results in a decrease in the reliability of accounting information. A present value calculation requires numerous estimates regarding the timing and amount of future cash flows, interest rates, and economic conditions. The use of these estimates is seen as a threat to the reliability of accounting information either through differing opinions as to future conditions...

...Week 7 Discussion Welcome to Week 7 Discussions! Let's begin by discussing the difference between capital budgeting screening decisions and capital budgeting preference decisions. According to the text screening decision are determined when solutions are measured against “preset hurdles” (pg. 628). For example there are certain predetermined phases that a solution would have to pass in regards to making a final decision. For budgets, their maybe certain profit goals or certain costs that need to be met in order for a company to move forward on either instituting a new product or cutting a product. Preference decisions are made by measuring a solution to different alternative opportunities. I believe the decision is made from a team’s or individual’s preference after the solution has been challenged by each alternative opportunity. How important is employee "buy-in" in a project? Please provide examples of projects that you have seen succeed and fail due to employee buy-in. My company owns and develops the GRE which is now called the Revised General Test.

Break-even point in passengers and revenues per month = 35,000; $5,600,000 1) Per Passenger Sales $160 Variable Expenses 70 Unit Contribution Margin $90 Fixed expenses ÷ Unit CM = $3,150,000 ÷ 90 = 35,000 passengers in break-even point 2) Contribution Margin Ratio (CM Ratio) = Contribution Margin ÷ Selling Price = $90 ÷ $160 = .5625 Break-even point in dollars = Fixed costs ÷ CM Ratio = $3,150,000 ÷ .5625 = $5,600,000 B. Break-even point in number of passenger train cars per month = 556 Number of seats per train car = Average load factor × Number of seats per train car = .70 × 90 = 63 passengers per train on average Passengers in break-even point ÷ Number of seats per passenger train = Number of passenger train cars per month to break-even 35,000 ÷ 63 = 555.5 or 556 train cars C. Monthly break-even point in number of passenger cars when fare is raised to $190 = 486 Number of seats per train car = Average load factor × Number of seats per train = .60 × 90 = 54 passengers per train on average Per Unit Sales $190 Variable Expenses 70 Unit Contribution Margin $120 Fixed Expenses ÷ Contribution Margin = $3,150,000 ÷ $120 = 26,250 passengers to break even Break-even point in passengers ÷ average passengers per train = Break-even point in train cars = 26,250 ÷ 54 = 486.11 or 486 train cars to break-even D.

...Capital Budgeting Decision AC505 Managerial Accounting I would recommend the acceptance of this proposal of making paint cans for several reasons. First, we look at the payback period. From our analysis, it will take 3.4 years to recover the initial investment. Though Clark Paints has not established a maximum payback period for comparison, an investment has a 3.4 year payback period is considerably a short period of time. It has less uncertainty and is less risky for the company to accept this proposal. Then we look at the annual rate of return, also known as simple rate of return. It calculates the percentage of the annual incremental accounting income of the investment. The simple rate of return of making the paint cans is 13.18% of the investment. Again, this is not a bad investment in terms of the company’s net operating income. Next, net present value is the difference between the cost of the investment and the present value of the cash flow. At a minimum return rate of 12%, the present value of the cash flow is $233,035. Since the cost of the investment is $200,000. We get a positive net present value of $33,035. As a rule of thumb, the positive net present value is a sign of an acceptable proposal. Finally, the internal rate of return also proves that it is better to make the paint cans than to buy from the vendor. The internal rate of return is the discount rate where present value of the future cash inflows equals to the present value of the cash outflow. From the...

...Lynda AC505/Term Project Direct material cost is known as any material cost that can be identified specifically with a final cost objective. Material costs must not be charged to a contract as a direct cost if other material costs incurred for the same purpose in like circumstances have been charged as an indirect cost to that contract or any other contract. All material costs specifically identified with other contracts are direct costs for those contracts and must not be charged to another contract directly or indirectly. Example of a direct material cost is a radio installed in an automobile. A direct labor cost is any labor cost that can be identified specifically with a final cost objective (e.g., a particular contract). Labor costs identified specifically with a particular contract are direct costs of the contract and must be charged to that contract. Labor costs must not be charged to a contract as a direct cost if other labor costs incurred for the same purpose in like circumstances have been charged as an indirect cost to that contract or any other contract. All labor costs specifically identified with other contracts are direct costs for those contracts and must not be charged to another contract directly or indirectly.

Cost of goods sold = $20 * 5,900 = $118,000 c. The difference between cost of goods manufactured and cost of goods sold is in the finished goods inventory account on the balance sheet.
