Some of the other main points in this story are that Suki’s father owned shipping, mining and hotel companies in South Korea and that the Kim family was millionaires who lived in a mansion on top of a hill surrounded by ponds, peacocks and orchards with chauffeurs and maids. They had lived in a society were money, education and family history dictated who you were and how you lived. “Gone in an instant was my small world, made possible by my father’s shipping company, mining business and hotels. In queens, most of my E.S.L. classmates came from our families who had escaped Korea’s ridge class hierarchy, one dictated by education level, family background and financial status”, (2004, pgs. 62-63). Suki’s family has to flee South Korea because her father went bankrupt and in South Korea bankruptcy is a crime punishable by jail time so the family immigrated to New York. Arriving in Queens in the early 80’s Suki’s family was penniless; they had to share a two story brownstone in Woodside with a Korean family that ran a dry cleaner in Harlem. Suki’s made friends with Billy and Andy the sons of the family that ran the dry cleaners. The first word she learned in English was “fresh off the boat” (F.O.B.). She wondered why people would say that about her when she arrived in New...

Distinguish between perpetual and periodic inventory systems. Identify the effects of inventory errors on the financial statements. Understand the items to include as inventory cost. Describe and compare the cost flow assumptions used to account for inventories. Explain the significance and use of a LIFO reserve. Understand the effect of LIFO liquidations. Explain the dollar-value LIFO method. Identify the major advantages and disadvantages of LIFO. Understand why companies select given inventory methods. Inventories in the Crystal Ball A substantial increase in inventory may be a leading indicator of an upcoming decline in profit margins. Take the auto industry as an example. Detroit’s inventories have been growing for several years because the domestic manufacturers like to run the factories at full capacity, even if they are not selling cars as fast as they can make them. The current arrangement is particularly tough for General Motors. It overproduces and then tries to push the sales with incentives and month-long “blow-out” sales. GM is hoping that the ever-growing market will cover the problem until customer demand grows to the point where the cars are purchased without so many incentives. But recently, all that was growing was GM inventories...

...8394d_c08.qxd 6/11/02 12:30 PM Page 345 mac62 mac62:1253_GE: Accounting for Inventories Inventories in the Crystal Ball Policy makers, economists, and investors all want to know where the economy is headed. For example, if the economy is headed for a slow-down, it might be prudent on the part of the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates or for Congress to consider a tax cut to head off an economic downturn. Information on inventories is a key input into various decision makers’ economic prediction models. For example, every month the U.S. Commerce Department reports data on inventory levels and sales. As shown in the table below, in a recent month these data indicated an increasing level of inventories. November Inventory and Sales (billions of dollars, seasonally adjusted) Total business inventories Total business sales Inventory/Sales ratio 1999 $1,145 $ 862 1.33 2000 $1,221 $ 896 1.36 Percent Change ϩ6.64% ϩ3.94% More importantly, not only were inventories rising, but they were rising at a faster rate than sales. These data raised some warnings about future economic growth, because rising inventory levels relative to sales indicate that consumers are trimming spending faster than companies can slow production.1 These data also raised warning flags for investors in individual companies. As one analyst remarked, “When inventory grows faster than sales, profits drop.” That is, when companies face slowing sales and growing inventory...

...Topic: Cash basis versus Accrual basis of accounting The cash basis of accounting, sometimes called cash accounting, is still used by some small companies whose business activity is uniform throughout the year--receiving and disbursing roughly the same amount of cash each month. Many individuals also use cash accounting.( Edmonds, McNair, Milam, and Olds, Fundamental Financial Accounting Concepts, 4th edition, McGraw-Hill Irwin, 2002) In the cash basis of accounting, the business records are "cash in" (deposits to the bank account) called cash receipts, and "cash out" (checks) called cash disbursements. Cash receipts - Cash disbursement = Cash flow. Each month's cash flow is added to the preceding month's cash balance yielding the current month’s cash balance. The cash basis of accounting is more likely to be used by service businesses than by retail or manufacturing businesses. Service businesses usually do not need equipment and can sell a service they perform with nothing more than their own hands and minds. Think of people who are lawyers, writers, public relations and advertising personnel, and accountants. There are two problems with cash accounting: 1) A business has difficulty in determining if it is earning a profit unless it is a small service business that does not own any property or equipment and does not have a number of contracts in progress, and 2) A business cannot keep track of any asset except cash. The cash basis of accounting does a poor job of...

...punishable by jail time, so Kim and her family fled to America penniless. Unfortunately, this move was very hard due to the fact that her and her family were used to living a catered life with chauffeurs and butlers. After arriving they ended up with a Korean family in Harlem NY. Life of poverty was not so easy being classified as “f.o.b, (fresh off the boat)” knowing little English was hard to communicate and make friends. When it came to school it was strange having to take public transportation and doing homework without governess. In America Kim says the students were very ‘disrespectful in the eyes of Korean schools “were they were taught to bow to a teacher.” In America students did not really pay the teachers any mind and in the “ghetto” were they did search and police guarded doors. In her ESL (English as second language) class there was more peace were she could actually be with others like herself speaking and acting in their culture. But easily found out that they “had nothing in common” due to the “hierarchy of Korea’s class that dictates on education and family status.” She learned that being a teenager coming from Korea and knows being in America you were classified as “1.5 generation”. This was a common ground between second generation Korean Americans an first generation which merely used “minimal English traps”. The tone of this story is informative to help others like her out. Once they arrived it was not easy...

...Suki Kim starts out in the early 80’s. Suki and her family came to America from Korea because her father lost his business and in Korea you could be placed in jail for bankruptcy. Suki and her family stayed in a house that belonged to another Korean family. Suki thought the house was ugly. There in the house she met her first playmates Billy and Andy. They spoke English and she learned to speak from them. One of the first term she learned from being around them was F.O.B(Fresh off the Boat). She couldn’t understand what they meant, but she was pretty sure she flew on a plane from Korea. Being in America life changed for her, from having people do things for her such as laundry to her being chaffureffed everywhere. Now she had to do all things as she said “Each week I found it humiliating to wheel out dirty clothes to a bleak place called the laundromat”. (Kim,2002 para.3) Manners and being respectful were taught to all Korean school children, but here in America kids didn’t bow, girls wore skimpy clothing and made out with boys in class. The school also was different, graffiti on the walls, guards at the front doors with metal detectors to check book bags. Suki found that she had little in common with her fellow Koreans. She realized that they were put into separate classes like back home in Korea. You had the wealthy Koreans and then you had the poor ones. So when it came to schools it was either private or public. So off to public school she went. Coming from Korea she...

I hate science, math, English. Love P.E, music dance and drama — I play rugby. No, I am good at rugby. And if I am lucky my future in rugby might be sealed, not to reveal my flaws in education which are faulty because hey, who needs to be able to quote Shakespeare if you can play rugby? I will probably never graduate and if I do then I will be the first. Either by myself or with a baby in or beside me, victim of teen pregnancy with a guy in high school I thought was ‘skux’.

(T/F) “Goods” include all things which are movable at the time of contract formation. 2. True 2-105(1). 3. Andy owns a hot dog cart in Balboa Park. He has a license from the park authority to operate the stand at a very visible and busy location in front of one of the museums. Andy contracts to sell the hot dog stand business, including the cart, the inventory, and the license, to Bill. Bill repudiates. At a subsequent trial for damages, which portions of the sale (i.e., the cart, the inventory, the license) will be governed by Article 2? 3. The answer depends on the local case law. By 2-102, Article 2 “applies to transactions in goods.” 2-105(1) defines “goods” as “all things...which are movable at the time of identification to the contract.” 2-501(1)(a) defines “identification” as occurring “when the contract is made if it is for the sale of goods already existing and identified.” Here, the “goods” are the cart and the inventory, but not the license. The license is an intangible. And since the goods were in existence at the time of contract formation, they have been identified to the contract, and movable at the time of identification to the contract. Some courts will use the “primary purpose” test to determine whether the entire contract is governed by Article 2. Here, the intent of the parties...
