Answer:

Dean probably will be able to get the painting back.

A mutual mistake was made since both parties involved, Dean and Susan, made an important factual error. They both were convinced that the painting was an ordinary copy and that it was worth very little money.

Sholpan [36]
Specialization. The characteristic of bureaucracy that Google is attempting to address this changes is the formal rules since it is stated on the first part that Google has "implemented employment policies" with regards to hiring women and the maternity benefits. These are the standard operating procedure that everyone in the hierarchy formally follows and plays a big role in the decision-making process.

Casey Motors recently reported net income of $148 million. The firm's tax rate was 40.0% and interest expense was $46 million. T
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

$61,640,000

Explanation:

Earning before tax:

= Net income ÷ 60%

= $148,000,000 ÷ 60%

= $246,666,667

EBIT:

= Earning before tax + Interest expense

= $246,666,667 + $46,000,000

= $292,666,667

EVA:

= EBIT(1 - t) - (Capital employed × cost of capital)

= $292,666,667(1 - 0.4) - ($1,036,000,000 × 11%)

= $175,600,000 - 113,960,000

= $61,640,000

You have been recently hired as an assistant controller for XYZ Industries, a large, publically held manufacturing company. Your
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

XYZ

a. The Effect on Income Before Taxes of the Change of Ageing Analysis:

The Income before Taxes would be $45,000 ($180,000 - $20,000) -   ($135,000 - 20,000) more than the income that should have been reported.  Assuming the Income Taxes were to be based on the increased income figure, XYZ would have an increased tax liability by say $18,000 (45,000 x 40%).  This reduces the Retained Earnings (or Stockholders Equity) by $18,000.  The company would in actual fact, be reporting a net income of $27,000 more than it should have reported.  This is very deceptive for all those who would be using the reported financial statement in making their decisions.  Unfortunately, we would have showed the affected customer that we are dubious in our business practise, further jeopardizing the chance of full recovery of the debt.  This is apart from taking into consideration the type of customer that would be ready to accept a revised invoice that was formerly past due.

b.  The ethical dilemma is doing the right thing according to Rights Theory.  We cannot say we have adhered to a set of rules (the U.S GAAP or the IFRS) when in fact we are violating an important rule of fair presentation of the elements of the financial statement.

I would try to convince the controller to rescind his suggestion and follow the rules.  We understand that making allowance for uncollectibles is an estimate based on judgement.  However, since we have established the basis and even stated it in the notes to the financial statements, I think that we should follow through.

Explanation:

The year's Uncollectible Expense should be $160,000 ($180,000 - $20,000).  If the allowance for the year were to be adjusted from $180,000 to $135,000, it means that the Uncollectible Expense would then be $115,000 ($135,000 - $20,000).  We will be under-reporting the Uncollectible Expense by a difference of $45,000 ($160,000 - $115,000), thereby boosting the net income before tax by $45,000.
