...Caledonia Products Integrative Problem Adam Pugh, Estee Vargas-Nichols, Jenny Clark University of Phoenix FIN 370 Cassandra Ryder April 26, 2012 Caledonia Products Integrative Problem When companies are determining whether an investment must be undertaken, they decide if the investment will add to or detract from the value of the firm. There are several determining factors in evaluating an investment. These include project free cash flow versus accounting profits, incremental cash flows, net present value, and internal rate of return. Caledonia Products is deciding whether to undertake a new investment project. The firm must determine the cash flows for the life of the project, calculate the net present value and the internal rate of return, and decide whether the project is a sound investment. Caledonia must focus on free cash flow somewhat than accounting earnings because the free cash flow profits the society obtains, which can invested.

...Introduction Every business requires funds to operate. A company may need money to expand its business, buy assets, pay wages, or pay its debt. Others may need funds to cover the cost of unforeseen events such as accidents or natural disasters. The difficulties in obtaining these funds constitute one of the major challenges in running a business. The two major sources of business finance are internal and external funding. This paper examines the differences between internal and external sources of finance. It will also examine the advantages and disadvantages of each source. Internal sources of Finance Internal source of finance refers to funding generated within the business as opposed to financing obtained from outside sources. Internal funding can be obtained from retained earnings, sale of assets, depreciation, reduction or control of capital. Retained earnings: These are profits left over after a firm has settled its debts and paid out dividends to shareholders. The leftover funds can then be ploughed back into the business. The advantage of this method is that there is no borrowing cost associated with it. The firm has total control over the decision to use the funds and is not subjected to any vetting by lenders. The disadvantage of using retained profits as a source of funding is that the company may not have cash readily available in times of urgent need (Timimi, 2010). Sale of asset: The sale of assets is another source of internal financing. A business may...

Accounting for leases, however, is not so clear cut. Since there are various ways to account for leases, many companies pick and choose which they feel best suits their situation, even when this sweeps dirt under the rug along 3 the way. The financial procedures for dealing with leases should entail benefits as well as limitations to ensure each company is fairly representing all of its financial information.

Enron and the Special Purpose Entity. Use or Abuse? The Real Problem - The Real Focus Abstract In December of 2001, Enron Corporation filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; one of the largest corporate bankruptcy filings at that time. When the investigations commenced and the tangled Enron web was unraveled, it was discovered that Enron had perpetrated a very sophisticated form of accounting fraud through its repeated use of what are referred to as Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”). In their most basic forms, SPEs are business entities formed for the purpose of conducting a well specified activity such as construction of a gas pipeline, or collection of a specific group of accounts receivable. However, because of their complex nature, SPEs can be used to manipulate a corporation’s financial results, which was the primary use for which Enron employed the SPE structure. As a result, the investment and financial community has cast a dark cloud over the special purpose entity, depicting the SPE as an inherently evil structure whose only purpose is to...
