...Carolyn Gaudioso 8-29-12 Intermediate Accounting Homework 1 CAC: a) Coca cola b) Coca cola- 34% Pepsi-32% c) Pepsi co had more depreciation and amortization expense, there is a difference in these amounts because coca cola had a higher percentage increase from 2008 to 2009 and also a greater 5 year average growth rate which shows that coca cola is a more popular company and there is a reduction in a capital account of the value of an asset over time. Also their equipment that they use can depreciate faster than coca-cola’s equipment. FSAC: a) Percentage change in sales from 2008- 2007 is 9% increase and from 2008-2009 is decreased 2%. The percentage change in operating profits from 2007 to 2008 is 4% and from 2008-2009 it is 2%. The change in net cash flow less capital expenditures from 2007-2008 is decreased 2% and from 2008-2009 is 57%. b) The trend that seems to be more favorable is the sales and the trend that seems less favorable is the net cash flow less capital expenditures. The significance of the trend being less favorable from net cash flow less capital expenditure is that is shows that the net cash flow in 2008 is less than the capital expenditure thus causing a decrease in 2008 which causes a decrease of 2%.

The second difference is that the fund statements concentrate on individual major governmental and enterprise funds. A third difference is that fund statements include the fiduciary funds but exclude the discretely presented component units. The government wide statements exclude the fiduciary funds but include the discretely presented component units. 2. The column headings generally used in governmental wide statement of net position are governmental activities; business type activities; total of those two columns; discretely presented component units. 3.

...ACT 564 Homework Problem 1.1 Information technology is continually changing the nature of accounting and the role of accountants. Write a two-page report describing what you think the nature of the accounting function and accounting information system in a large company will be like in the year 2020. When thinking about the future of accounting and the accounting function and accounting information system, it is hard to imagine what it will be like in the future. We have come so far in such a little time technology wise. The year 2020 isn’t that far off into the future if you actually think about it and so much is bound to change! Though as a side note, if I started thinking about the Mayan calendar and how they believe the world will end on December 21, 2012. If this is true, will there even be the year 2020 to look forward to? I can remember my cousin, who is an accountant, doing all her work on paper and in a book. She always stayed late to make sure she wouldn’t get behind on her work. Now ten years later ninety percent of her work is all on the computer. Not only does this save her time but it can also make things easier when automated. In the next eight years, I believe that ninety-eight percent will all be done on the computer. The only thing that will need to be hands on or on paper will be backup copies in case something happens to the computer database. I expect large companies will only need maybe two accountants once everything is almost automatic...

...Chapter 8 Business Income, Deductions, and Accounting Methods SOLUTIONS MANUAL Discussion Questions 1. [LO 1] What is an “ordinary and necessary” business expenditure? “Ordinary” and “necessary” imply that an expense must be customary and helpful, respectively. Because these terms are subjective, the tests are ambiguous. However, ordinary is interpreted by the courts as including expenses which may be unusual for a specific taxpayer (but not for that type of business) and necessary is not interpreted as only essential expenses. These limits can be contrasted with the reasonable limit on amounts and the bona fide requirement for profit motivation. 2. [LO 1] Is cost of goods sold deductible as a business expense for a business selling inventory? Explain. No. Under the return of capital principal, cost of goods sold represents a reduction in gross income rather than a business expense. For example, if a taxpayer sells inventory for $100,000 and reports a cost of goods sold of $40,000, the business’s gross income is $60,000 ($100,000 – 40,000) not $100,000. 3. [LO 1] Tom is an attorney who often represents individuals injured while working (worker liability claims). This year -Tom spent $50 on a book entitled Plumbing For Dummies and paid $500 to take a course on plumbing residences and rental housing. Can you imagine circumstances in which these expenditures would be deductible as “ordinary and necessary” for an attorney. Explain. “Ordinary” and “necessary”...

Davis, Jr. ACC/542 October 21, 2013 Irene Branum Preface In the last few weeks the accounting firm, Team D has looked into characteristics of Kudler Fine Foods and provided recommendations to update and replace existing components of the IT system. These recommendations made can yield in the company’s increased productivity, profitability, and remove potential threats. Team D determined that industry specific software is useful in comparison to customized software. Four main modules such as payroll, account payable, accounts receivable, and inventory were developed as well as enhancement of each flowchart based on the appropriate system. Team D examined the database completeness at Kudler’s intranet and developed a pivot table; therefore, making the decision-making process easy. External and internal risks were analyzed and internal control points were developed by incorporating both risks and controls into a flowchart. Team D also showed why findings and recommendations are more useful to the company in comparison to SAS70 and SAS94 audits. The team identified events that will lessen the dependence on auditing through computer and showed a brief description how the audit should be conducted. System Integrity and Validation Kudler Finer Foods has looked for recommendations regarding the company, to include computer information system, automated process of an accounting information system, data table analysis, internal control and risk evaluation, and auditing procedures...
