Consider the financial reporting implications under (i) U.S. GAAP and (ii) IFRS for a timber company that has significant standing timber (such as Plum Creek). a. How is standing timber treated under U.S. GAAP? b. How is standing timber treated under IFRS? c.

...The FASB Accounting Standards Codification Group members: 1) Asset Classification Your manager, Jane Murphy, is reviewing the preliminary balance sheet you compiled for your company. She asks, "We prepaid six months of next year's rent. Why is prepaid rent classified as a current asset? We're not converting rent payments into cash. Shouldn't it be concurrent?" Research the appropriate accounting standards and explain why prepaid expenses are current assets even though no cash will be received. Cite your references. 2) Inventory Valuation AgroCo operates several farms that produce a variety of agricultural products, including corn. At any given time, AgroCo has a significant amount of corn in its warehouses ready for sale to third party food product manufacturers. AgroCo currently values its agricultural inventory using an average cost system. The president of AgroCo asks, “Since the price of corn has risen recently, is it possible for us to reflect our corn stocks at market prices, rather than at historical costs?” Research the relevant GAAP and prepare a memo advising the president of his options. 3) Maintenance Costs.

...The University of Illinois Executive MBA Case Summaries Accy 401, EMBA; Fall 2000 Accounting courses are usually separated into five general categories. Two, taxes and auditing, are usually quite technical and often focus on CPA preparation. The other three categories are more general: 1. Financial accounting deals almost strictly with financial statement preparation. It focuses on pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the SEC, and on accounting concepts such as materiality, matching revenues and expenses, relevance, and consistency. It also considers highly technical details about consolidated financial statements, leases, pensions, income taxes, and inventory valuation methods that are often found on the CPA exam. 2. Financial accounting from a management perspective covers many of the same topics as financial accounting but it does so from the view of a manager using financial accounting information to help make decisions or to report an organization’s performance to others. This is the typical focus of an MBA financial accounting course, or a financial accounting course in a non-degreed program for executives. It is the primary focus of Accy 401, EMBA. 3. Cost and managerial accounting deals almost exclusively with accounting as a tool to help manage and understand a business. These courses focus on areas such as fixed and variable costs, how costs behave over time (e.g., the learning curve), cost...

...Metering Formula 1. Meter Multiplier Meter Multiplier - the multiplier applied to the register reading to obtain kilowatt-hours. M = Kh X Rr X Rs X CTR X VTR 10,000 Where ; Kh = watt-hour constant of the meter in watt-hour per revolution Rr = register ratio = the number of revolutions of the register worm wheel for a revolution of the first dial pointer (right hand). Rs = gear ratio = the number of revolution of the disk for one revolution of the first point CTR = current transformer ratio VTR = voltage transformer ratio Example #1: A G.E., three phase, three wire, 120 volts, type VM-63-A, Form 5A, Class 20, KWh meter indicates Kh of 2.4 at its nameplate and register ratio of 166-2/3 was installed at 13.2 KV wye grounded system having a current transformer of 25:5 ratio. Determine the following; a). The internal multiplier b). The billing multiplier Solution: a). Internal Multiplier = Kh X Rr X Rs 10,000 For G.E.; Rs =50 for Type V-60, DS-50 and DS-60 Family Rs = 100 for Other family For Sangamo; Rs = 100 for J3 meters Rs = 50 for J4 and Polyphase meters For Westinghouse; Rs = 100 for all types of meter Internal Multiplier = 2.4 X 166-2/3 X 50 10,000 Internal Multiplier = 2 b).
