What is the primary difference between financial statement analysis and operating indicator analysis and why are both types useful to health services managers? A financial statement analysis is the process of using data contained in a business’s financial statements to make judgments about financial condition.

...1) After spending years of effort to integrate Warner Lambert and Pharmacia into Pfizer, should its management have avoided another huge acquisition like Wyeth? Should Pfizer have gone after smaller bio tech firms in a series of small acquisitions in 2008 and 2009? A number of these bio tech firms could have been acquired for the $68 billion price of the huge Wyeth acquisition. Present arguments for and against buying several small firms versus one large firm. In my opinion, when it comes to the option of bigger or smaller firm acquisition, Pfizer should have invested in a large acquisition like wryeth. This is because Pfizer’s focus is not really on how many firms it can acquire but proceeds and profit margins these acquisitions can bring in. Basing on the case, its previous large acquisitions such as Warner Lambert and Pharmacia. In 2000 and 2003 where quiet good investments bringing in large profit margin of up to 90% from the Warner. A large problem of staffing is also worsened by over acquisition. According to the case overtime acquired firms have brought in excess staff for Pfizer and this has become a problem as managers for each line have increased and thus larger costs in terms of salaries as well. Larger firm acquisitions have also evidently brought stronger products than Pfizer itself can produce. Drugs such as Lipitor from an acquired firm brought in sales of about 12 billion annually while Pfizer produced drugs have failed i.e. T-pill Furthermore larger...

They avoided micromanagement and bureaucracy, working in a decentralized environment. This type of implementation was an integral part in the company’s success. 2. Why did Blue Rhino have to revamp its systems and business processes? Because of Blue Rhino’s vast success, it reached a capitalization above $75 million. Therefore they were forced to meet the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which “requires upper-level executives of companies with market capitalization above $ 75 million to take greater responsibility for the income statements and balance sheets of their business.” However, Blue Rhino was already planning on revamping its processes since they were having difficulty with the control over its inventory, financial operations, and with the human resources department; this act only motivated them. 3.

...Financial Statement Differentiation Paper Jason Raines ACC/561 January 9, 2012 Cathleen Davis Financial Statement Differentiation Paper There are four basic financial statements that help business keep track of what is coming and going on a daily basis. “They are: (1) balance sheets; (2) income statements; (3) cash flow statements; and (4) statements of shareholders’ equity” (Beginner’s, 2007). Each one of these statements has it own unique way of showing where the company’s money came from, where went, and where it is now. This is why it is important to have better understanding how each statement can help keep accurate financial records for the business. Balance Sheet A balance sheet is really an easy concept to understand because when it comes to the balance sheet company’s use them to balance out there financials. This financial statement shows a company’s “assets, liabilities, and share holders equity at certain point of time in a business cycle” (Balance Sheet, 2011). There is a simple equation that can describe the balance sheet which is Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder’s Equity, using this equation company’s should be able to keep accurate records of their finances. Although investors, creditors, and management all look at the balance sheet for reassurance it would seem that the creditors would more interested in the balance sheet because creditors can look at the balance sheet and make a determination on whether or not they are going...

...earnings? Why or why not? Yes, it is clearly unethical to intentionally understate earnings since the management makes representations that the financial statements are complete and accurate. It is obvious that intentionally understating earnings is done to allow the company to later overstate earnings by using falsified reserves to cover the inadequate current period earnings. These manipulations and misrepresentations do not allow fair comparisons of the results of operations between years. In this case the misrepresentation gave a totally false picture of the success of its subscription television systems and interfered with the ability of users to correctly analyze the financial information of the firm. These misrepresentations impaired the decision-making ability of the financial statement users and defeated the purpose of financial statements presenting a true and accurate picture of the company. 2. Should auditors be equally concerned with potential understatements and potential overstatements of a client’s revenues and expenses? Identify audit techniques that may be particularly helpful in uncovering understatements of revenues and overstatements of expenses. Auditors are required to plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the client’s financial statements are free of material misstatements. These misstatements include overstatements and understatements of both revenues and expenses, and auditors should be concerned...

...Financial Statements Paper April T. Worriax ACC/280 February 30, 2011 Michelle Turk CPA Accounting Accounting is one key element to any business or company. Accounting consists of four basic financial statements that a business or company will use. The four financial statements are very helpful to managers, supervisors, investors, creditors, and employees. Accounting is an important part of any company because it provides the information needed for sound economic decision making (“Financial Accounting,” 1999-2010). Accounting identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of a company to interested users (Weygandt, 2008). The first financial statement is the income statement. The income statement shows the results of the company’s operations for a certain time. This statement lists revenues first and then the company’s expenses. After the completion of this financial statement an individual will be able to tell if the company is a net income or a net loss. For instance, if revenue is more than expenses, will be a net income, but if expenses are more than revenue, there will be a net loss (Weygandt, 2008). The second financial statement is the balance sheet. The balance sheet shows a company what is currently happening within the company. It helps to see how the company is balancing...
