...Through week four of accounting 291, the team got to view a lot of information about the different types of common ratios that companies use to analyze financial information. From the readings this week and discussions the team came to the conclusion that ratios play an important role in accounting. Week four went in-depth about the different types of common ratios that companies use to analyze its financial information. The team spoke about what common ratios are more important, and examples of how companies use ratios in the decision-making process. Some common ratios used to analyze financial information profitability ratios, efficiency ratios, liquidity ratios, and solvency ratios. Profitability ratios are the company's gross, operating, and net profit margins. The gross profit margin measures profitability after considering the cost of goods sold, whereas the operating profit margin measures profitability as a result of earnings before interest and tax expense. The net profit takes all expenses into consideration and is often viewed as the bottom line. Efficiency ratios measure how effective management is managing the turnover rates and returns on assets. Sales to receivables and inventory turnover is also in the efficiency ratios. When a company measures inventory turnover and sales to receivables a higher number proves better efficiency. Measuring return on assets involves comparing net income to total assets. The third type of ratio is liquidity which evaluates the company's...

...Week Four Reflections Allyson Bara, Courtney Heiser, Torie Jones, Kristie Laughinghouse, Stefanie Olney, Lynette Plowe ACC/291 Principles of Accounting II April 29, 2013 Professor Beth Baligrosky Week Four Team Reflection In week four, the objectives were define as prepare a statement of cash flows using both direct and indirect methods, apply ratio, vertical, and horizontal analyses to financial statements and prepare journal entries associated with the issuance of preferred and common stocks and the declaration and payment of dividends. Cash flows will identify a company's sources and uses of cash. Companies are required to prepare a statement of cash flows in their annual reports because it contains essential data for others, such as lenders and investors, who make economic decisions about the companies. It shows the bases and uses of cash and is a basis for cash flow analysis. Companies produce and consume cash in different ways, so the cash flow statement is divided into three sections: cash flows from operations, financing and investing. Basically, the sections on operations and financing show how the company gets its cash, while the investing section shows how the company spends its cash. Each section can give you a snap shot of a company’s cash management viewpoint. This can also tell you whether dividends have actually been paid out or whether they are accruing. According to Financial accounting “Operating activities include receipts and payments from normal...

...Learning with Cases INTRODUCTION The case study method of teaching used in management education is quite different from most of the methods of teaching used at the school and undergraduate course levels. Unlike traditional lecture-based teaching where student participation in the classroom is minimal, the case method is an active learning method, which requires participation and involvement from the student in the classroom. For students who have been exposed only to the traditional teaching methods, this calls for a major change in their approach to learning. This introduction is intended to provide students with some basic information about the case method, and guidelines about what they must do to gain the maximum benefit from the method. We begin by taking a brief look at what case studies are, and how they are used in the classroom. Then we discuss what the student needs to do to prepare for a class, and what she can expect during the case discussion. We also explain how student performance is evaluated in a case study based course. Finally, we describe the benefits a student of management can expect to gain through the use of the case method. WHAT IS A CASE STUDY? There is no universally accepted definition for a case study, and the case method means different things to different people. Consequently, all case studies are not structured similarly, and variations abound in terms of style, structure and approach. Case material ranges from small caselets (a few paragraphs...
