As manager of The Ranch, Peter Clark must be prepared to receive feedback, which is critical for success. Management at The Ranch uses feedback to ensure “the players are getting service...

...MKTG 6218 Section #1 Marketing in the Service Sector Week #4 Assignment #1; Case Study #2 Playa Dorada Tennis Club: Expansion Strategy Submitted by: Jesse Felix 8/14/13 With the guest population at the Playa Dorada Beach & Resort expected to double and the popularity of tennis on the rise, Douglas Hall and the club are faced with a seasonal demand for tennis courts. His dilemma to resolve insufficient capacity issues is coupled with the challenge of making all organizational departments such as marketing, finance, and operations satisfied at the same time. He needs to create an expansion plan to address these concerns during peak seasons as many guests are starting to become discouraged by their inability to play. Since holding off with expansion is not an option Douglas needs to decide whether to build additional courts immediately or look for short term solutions to resolve the inefficient use of space while the long-term expansion plans are being created. Each option comes with a different expense and he needs to calculate the benefits with the risks of each option. In addition to the expansion decision, Douglas also needs to find a way to boost the attractiveness of tennis services in hopes that guests will be interested in purchasing real estate. Since Playa Dorada uses tennis as a key selling feature, it is important that this program is offering the best service available. While plans to expand the resort and add additional tennis facilities to new areas...

...Kansas City Zephyrs Baseball Club, Inc. Case Study Antecedents: the Professional Baseball Players Association (PBPA) and the Owner-Player Committee (OPC) were engaged in a collective bargaining dispute where the PBPA believes they should share in the teams' profits. The OPC maintains, however, that the teams were losing money each year. Both sides had independent meetings with an arbitrator to evaluate and recommend a viable decision ”Who is right?” The case illustrate major areas in which both sides disputed the way the financial information is been presented, and the way key accounting concepts had been used taking in consideration the recognition of revenues and the matching concept: 1. - Players salary expenses, current roster salary, amortization of signing bonuses and non-roster guaranteed contract expenses 2. - Roster depreciation expense 3. - Related-party transactions (Stadium operations) 1. - Players salary expenses, current roster salary, amortization of signing bonuses and non-roster guaranteed contract expenses. A significant portion of players’ compensation packages is not paid in cash immediately. PBPA think the salaries due to players who are no longer on the roster should be recognized when the cash is paid out and not when the players leave the roster, GAAP however only allow the deferred compensation to be expensed when earned. Therefore, OPC is right. Some part of players’ signing bonuses as per the PBPA suggestion should be spread over...

...Kansas City Zephrys Baseball Club, Inc. Case Study Issue: The PBPA believes the OPC should share with the baseball players the profits of the major league baseball teams Who is right? & Why? Roster depreciation Regarding roster depreciation, I would agree with the PBPA lawyer, Mr. Hanrahan, that depreciation expense should not be included in the income statement of the team since there are no plans on selling the equipment, only plans of sharing profits with the team players. Besides, experience can definitely add value to the team and increase revenue for the team. The better the players become, the better the games, the better the games, the greater the audience. Who is right? & Why? Overstated player salary expense Spreading players’ bonuses over the length of the player’s contracts would effectively reduce the Salary Expense per year for the team and better distribute salary expense over the player’s contract, but that would effectively defeat the purpose of the bonus. In my opinion, the transaction has to be recorded when it happens. Those bonuses are paid in the signing year of the player to motivate the player to play good. Changing this would be a very controversial issue since many players may want to get their bonus in advanced. Although, I don’t agree with distributing the player’s bonuses over the life of the contract like Mr. Hanrahan proposes, I would definitely agree with him that right thing to do is to report only the Salaries paid to the players...
