At a recent staff meeting, the vice president of marketing appeared confused. The controller had assured him that the parent com

pany and each of the subsidiary companies had properly accounted for all transactions during the year. After several other questions, he finally asked, "If it has been done properly, then why must you spend so much time and make so many changes to the amounts reported by the individual companies when you prepare the consolidated financial statements each month? You should be able to just add the reported balances together." Required: Prepare an appropriate response to help the controller answer the marketing vice president's question.

Answer:

The accountant might be having issues with consolidating the reports of the individual subsidiary.

Explanation:

Below are appropriate responses:

(1) The accounting policies, principles adopted by each subsidiary might be different, hence this could lead to discrepancies and readjustments of the report by the controller.

(2) In order to ensure fair presentation and accuracy of financial information of the subsidiaries, the controller, might need to look over the financial statements.

(3) If the subsidiaries are foreign subsidiaries, the controller would need to translate the financial information, using the functional currency.

(4) Where, they are intra-group transactions (goods in transit, cash in transit, intra group sales and transfers), the controller would need to make adjustments of those transactions .

Suppose your employer offers you a choice between a $ 4 comma 600 bonus and 200 shares of the company stock. Whichever one you c
Virty [35]

Answer:

a. Suppose that if you receive the stock​ bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you​ choose? What is its​ value?

I would choose the stock bonus because the current market price = 200 x $64 = $12,800 which is much higher than $4,600 (cash bonus)

b. Suppose that if you receive the stock​ bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus​ now? What will your decision depend​ on?

Even if you are required to hold the stock for one year, the price difference with the cash bonus is too great = ($12,800 - $4,600) / $4,600 = 178% higher. Since you are employed by the company, you should know if the company is doing well or not, and the probable future stock price.

Only if something catastrophic happened to the company would make the cash bonus more attractive.
