Please consider the following, and offer three (3) responses between one (1) and three (3) sentences in length.

Scenario: You read in the local newspaper (ok, probably on your iPhone) that Genitempo-Cardoza Drilling (GC-D), the division of PEMEX specializing in light, sweet crude, has tapped another substantial deposit. This discovery and access means major profits for GC-D, and also new contracting opportunities for various support companies. Schlumberger and Morgan-Ali-Perry Corporation (MAP Corp) are competing to provide cementing field services and related support. You are a consultant to GC-D and MAP Corp and have been given a waiver (possible conflicts of interest, right?) to advise both clients in a joint meeting on three (3) issues.

If GC-D contracts with both Schlumberger and MAP Corp to provide services as independent contractors:

1) Should GC-D carry both Schlumberger and MAP Corp under its employment insurance?

2) If Schlumberger is providing only labor/people to operate and MAP Corp is providing only equipment, will Schlumberger and MAP Corp need to establish contracts with each other/between their two companies, or just GC-D independently?

3) If MAP Corp is shipping its equipment from its Texas base to Mexico, what entities (government and private) might be involved in that transfer?

Assume you are a new employee at Payroll Inc. a company which process payroll, advises small businesses on payroll issues, and remits all withheld funds to the government along with payroll forms required. Processing payroll and completing forms is a routine process which is repeated for each client and payroll period. Payroll advising is unique to each client.

In your initial post discuss the aspects of Payroll Inc.'s processes that lend themselves to process costing and which processes would more closely align with job order costing. How would you set up Payroll Inc.'s accounting system? Would you use job order or process costing? Or some other type of system? Why?

The first financial instrument was a loan. On January 1, the company borrowed 5million on a key shareholder at rate of 3%, at that time when the market rate of interest was 5%. In order to convince the shareholder to lend the money to the company at a rate lower the the market rate of interest, the company agreed that, in 5 years the shareholder would have the option of either accepting full repayment of the debt, or receiving 500,000 shares in the company. The second financial instrument was a compensatory stock option plan that was granted to 10 key management positions for the first time. The company wanted to provide these employees with additional compensation and due to financial constraints could not increase salaries. The plan allowed these management employees to purchase 5,000 options each to purchase shares at $50 each when they were actually worth $100. The options were granted on January 1, 2017 and were exercisable within a two year period. Total compensation was estimated to be $550,000. And the expected period of benefit was one year beginning on the grant date. No other management employees exercised their options during the year but you exercised all of your options on December 31st 2017. The final transaction.
