Your local athletic center is planning a $1.32 million expansion to its current facility. This cost will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 20-year period. The expanded area is expected to generate $624,000 in additional annual sales. Variable costs are 38 percent of sales, the annual fixed costs are $79,400, and the tax rate is 25 percent. The athletic center paid $125,000 on a feasibility study and estimates interest expenses to be $65,000 per year. The expansion of the athletic center will reduce the metered parking area and the athletic center will lose $32,000 annually from the loss in parking. What is the annual operating cash flow of this project?

You have $1,000,000 (One million USD). This week, you will purchase the currency of a country with this amount. In Week 6, you will exchange that currency back into $ (USD). You cannot trade this currency in the intervening time – one purchase this Week and one sale in Week 6.  

For your written assignment, clearly state what you purchased and when. Write a minimum of 1 page on your prediction of what will happen with this currency exchange rate by Week 6. What besides just a guess can you use to make your prediction? What events might drive the currencies up or down in these two countries? Are there any economic, political or cultural trends or anticipated risks that might impact this rate? Any analysis that you have researched or tools that can help you in your prediction? Think of your facilitator as the CFO of your company, who knows little about this country, and how helpful your prediction will be.

Costing systems provide information that is used for a large variety of business decisions including planning production of goods and services, pricing products, and controlling associated costs of production.

1. In what type of situation would a company use multiple cost accounting systems?
2. What factors should a company take into consideration in deciding whether to use job order costing or process costing?
3. Describe two products or services that might use both process and job order costing methods to determine the cost of a finished unit.

Johnson Controls Corp., a major U.S. auto parts supplier, has a manufacturing subsidiary in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, which assembles wiring harnesses for auto electrical systems. Quarterly, Johnson Controls must consolidate the financial statements of all its foreign subsidiaries into one overall corporate-wide financial statement as required by U.S. accounting standards. This results in translation gains and losses as exchange rates fluctuate against the U.S. dollar. The Mexican peso has been particularly volatile the last few years so the Treasurer of Johnson Controls has been following the translation exposure of the Mexican subsidiary with unusual interest. Prepare the Translation Exposure Report by both the current rate and temporal methods from the balance sheet information for the Mexican subsidiary presented below (all accounts are in pesos 000’s).
