...Unit 1: The business environment Help sheet 1.1.1 P1 Describe the type of business, purpose and ownership of two contrasting businesses To achieve P1, you must complete Task sheet 1.1.1, a case study, as well as Worksheets 1.1.1 to 1.1.4. You must also write a detailed presentation about two organisations. • You must ensure that the two organisations chosen are very different. For example, a large plc, such as Tesco, and a charity, such as Save the Children. This will make it easier to compare the environments. • It is a good idea to choose organisations that you are interested in, but that also have a large amount of information available. Therefore, spend some time researching a few organisations that might be of interest to see which one will make this task the easiest. • The same organisations will be used for tasks other than P1 so look ahead in the assignment to make sure the information you will need is available. • Once you have chosen your organisations, you need to research them in order to be able to identify the type of businesses they are. You must identify which scale they operate at and what sector they operate in. Make sure you give evidence and reasoning to back up your decisions. • The purpose and ownership of a business can often be seen on its website. However, you may find a phone interview very useful for collecting all the information you need. This can then be used as evidence. Remember to reference your work when necessary. ...

...CHAPTER 6 INTERCOMPANY INVENTORY TRANSACTIONS ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q6-1 All inventory transfers between related companies must be eliminated to avoid an overstatement of revenue and cost of goods sold in the consolidated income statement. In addition, when unrealized profits exist at the end of the period, the eliminations are needed to avoid overstating inventory and consolidated net income. Q6-2 An inventory transfer at cost results in an overstatement of sales and cost of goods sold. While net income is not affected, gross profit ratios and other financial statement analysis may be substantially in error if appropriate eliminations are not made. Q6-3 An upstream sale occurs when the parent purchases items from one or more subsidiaries. A downstream sale occurs when the sale is made by the parent to one or more subsidiaries. Knowledge of the direction of sale is important when there are unrealized profits so that the person preparing the consolidation worksheet will know whether to reduce consolidated net income assigned to the controlling interest by the full amount of the unrealized profit (downstream) or reduce consolidated income assigned to the controlling and noncontrolling interests on a proportionate basis (upstream). Q6-4 As in all cases, the total amount of the unrealized profit must be eliminated in preparing the consolidated statements. When the profits are on the parent company's books, consolidated net income and income assigned to the...

In general term, Loonies’ performance is very successful and the company is mostly favoured by Juliet market’s customers and investors. However, Sonite product market is highly competitive, where Loonies’ projects such as Loop (high-ended, Professionals and High Earners targeted product) and Lock (low-ended, Savers and partially Shoppers targeted model) take the 2nd and the 6th places respectively in terms of popularity and profitability. One more valid point analysed in current market situation is Loonies main competitors. Loop faces threats from ROCK and TONE, which have a similar set of features and functions but slightly more expensive then Loop. At the same...
