...What Would You Do? FORD MOTOR COMPANY Dearborn, Michigan. As you look out the window of the “Glass House” headquarters, you comment to yourself that it has not been a fun place to work these past few years. As you contemplate the future opportunities for the company, you are left with the thought that this company will look radically different in the next few years. An icon of U.S. manufacturing, Ford Motor Company has been one of the most prominent automobile producers in the world for almost 100 years. Founded by Henry Ford and eleven business associates in 1903, Ford Motor Company pioneered the moving assembly line, in which workers remained in place performing the same job on each automobile that came down the line. Henry Ford’s vision was the production of cars that were affordable to the masses. Today, Ford’s product lines include Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Volvo. Despite the proliferation of nameplates, Ford Motor has been losing money for years, particularly in its North American operations. Ford produces more vehicles than it can sell and does so under very difficult personnel conditions that are part of the industry’s history. The United Auto Workers (UAW) represents most of the company’s production employees, and the contract terms over the years have been designed to provide significant long-term support to those employees. Generous conditions for retirement, benefits, and job protection, developed when the industry was...

...before finalizing their purchase. For time’s sake however, we will take a look at a few major differences one may look at, when faced with such a purchase. We will also be suggesting that this is an individual who only has the option of a free-standing stove, and due to the inconvenience of their geographic location, can only have a unit that either burns wood or propane. It must also be noted that these are actual differences that must be recognized when making the purchase of anything that has to do directly with keeping you and/or your family warm during the cold season in any mountainous location while being as price effective as possible. These differences are as follows, the cost of fuel to operate the appliance, the cost of miscellaneous parts or installation, and finally, the cost of the unit itself injunction with the cost of its maintenance. The first stove we will discuss is the free-standing, wood burning stove that is large enough to sufficiently heat a typical, 2-story, A-frame cabin. The first expense one must consider is the cost of the fuel in which it operates. For the wood burning stove, if not already previously owned by the individual, the individual must purchase enough wood to last them a full winter/cold season, about 4-5 months, equals...

...appears that the first accountants under-depreciated these assets by around $9,000 in 2002 and 2003. These miscalculations caused material errors in the Accumulated Depreciation account as well. The straight-line method should have been used over the life of these assets, but was not used in 2002 or 2003. This error most likely resulted in an overpayment of taxes for those years. The second set of accountants correctly calculated the depreciation for the last three years. They did however misstate the depreciation expense in 2004 on the financial statements, but corrected said error the following year. An adjusting entry should take place to fix the original errors. 3. Miscellaneous There are very few instances when an expense should be placed in the Miscellaneous account. Each miscellaneous expense needs to be verified and possibly transferred to a different...

...Sophie is stressed because during the sales training course, she learned that the expense vouchers are very important and they should be completed as the company indicates. 2. Not enough space to write miscellaneous expenses as tipping waiters, cab drivers, etc.: According her mentor, Emma, the salespeople complain because the expense vouchers don’t have enough space for the extra tip that she normally gives to waiters, cab drivers, bell hops, airport baggage handles, and else. Apparently the expense vouchers just only contain the basic space for the basic expenses as lodging, airfare, and meals. 3. Paradigms about expense report form.: The accounting supervisor maintains the same report during the time, but the expense vouchers don’t give the salespeople that they need, more space, and obviously the accounting supervisor doesn’t like the salespeople because he told Emma that they are overpaid. This point doesn’t have relation with the request that Emma did. But Sophie and Emma have to complete their expense vouchers with the space that the report actually has. 4. Include in her expense report the miscellaneous expenses using cab drivers blank receipts: This point is generating in Sophie questions about following company policies because she knows that report miscellaneous expenses as cab drivers receipts are against company policy and...

...Scarce skills Jobs are scarce. What plan can you make to secure a job in today’s world of work? The answer is to study for a scarce skill! What is a scarce skill? A scarce skill is a qualification or job for which there are too little people in South Africa doing the job. Government would like to set South Africa on a winning economic pathway, by developing the skills of our people and assisting people to find employment more easily. Studying for a scarce skill would not only mean helping your country, but also helping yourself! A scarcity in qualifications or jobs, can come from the fact that the occupation is new and very few people have studied to fill these posts. It can also happen that people have not chosen to study for the course and a scarcity developed in the job. Sometimes special experience is required, for example people with years of experience of management, or in other cases people are needed in certain towns, cities or geographical areas. Scarcity can also be in terms of equity, for example too few women enter into a specific career. 2 How can you benefit? Choose to study for a scarce skill. Not only will you be able to find a job more easily, but chances are that you will be paid better and progress to the top of your career path more easily, because employers will snap you up. Also, some qualifications are scarce all over the world, which means that opportunities open up for you much more easily. You can make an appointment with one of the Department’s careers...
