Target Corporation prepares its financial statements according to U.S. GAAP. Target's financial statements and disclosure notes for the year ended February 3, 2018, are - This material also is available under the Investor Relations link at the company's website.
1. On what line of Target's income statement is revenue reported? What was the amount of revenue Target reported for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018? 2. Disclosure Note 2 indicates that Target generally records revenue in retail stores at the point of sale. Does that suggest that Target generally records revenue at a point in time or over a period of time? Explain. 3. Disclosure Note 2 indicates that customers ("guests") can return some merchandise within 90 days of purchase and can return other merchandise within a year of purchase. How is Target's revenue and net income affected by returns, given that it does not know at the time a sale is made which items will be returned? 4. Disclosure Note 2 indicates that "Commissions earned on sales generated by leased departments are included within sales and were $44 million ... in 2017." Do you think it likely that Target is accounting for those sales as a principal or an agent? Explain.
5. Disclosure Note 2 discusses Target's accounting for gift card sales. Does Target recognize revenue when it sells a gift card to a customer? If not, when does it recognize revenue? Explain. 6. Disclosure Note 4 discussed how Target accounts for consideration received from vendors, which they call "vendor income." Does that consideration produce revenue for Target? Does that consideration produce revenue for Target's vendors? Explain.

The balance sheet includes the following information:

When a firm declares dividends:

For a firm that provides services, revenue is recognized when:

Walmart's 2020 annual report said the following about its gift card sales:

“Customer purchases of gift cards are not recognized as sales until the card is redeemed and the customer purchases merchandise using the gift card.”

When a customer purchases a gift card from Walmart, what impact does this have on Walmart’s financial statements?

Walmart’s 2020 annual report said the following about its gift card sales:

“Customer purchases of gift cards are not recognized as sales until the card is redeemed and the customer purchases merchandise using the gift card.”

When a customer redeems a previously purchased gift card, what impact does this transaction have on Walmart's financial statements?

Identify (3) three revenue management “factors” that will have an impact on a hotel with respect to optimizing revenue generation. Explain and elaborate each concept.

On June 15, 2018, Sanderson Construction entered into a long-term construction contract to build a baseball stadium in Washington, D.C., for $310 million. The expected completion date is April 1, 2020, just in time for the 2020 baseball season. Costs incurred and estimated costs to complete at year-end for the life of the contract are as follows ($ in millions):

Required:
1. Compute the revenue and gross profit will Sanderson report in its 2018, 2019, and 2020 income statements related to this contract assuming Sanderson recognizes revenue over time according to percentage of completion.

Run two different multiple regressions using excel. One should include two of the three idepenedent variables and the other should include all three variables. The first multiple regression equation is Gross Revenue = 766.981 + 2.977*Daily Tour Income - 12.31*Number of Tourists.

1. What is the second multiple regression equation?  

Would adding dummy variables for the three days for my second regression work? l  need 2 dummy variables since I have 3 categories (days, in this case). What would the equation look like? What's the regression table using excel?

a. The marketing manager for an automobile manufacturer is interested in determining the proportion of new compact-car owners who would have purchased a passenger-side inflatable air bag if it had been available for an additional cost of $300. The manager believes from previous information that the proportion is 0.30. Suppose that a survey of 200 new compact-car owners is selected and 79 indicate that they would have purchased the inflatable air bags. If you were to conduct a test to determine whether there is evidence that the proportion is different from 0.30 and decided not to reject the null hypothesis, what conclusion could you draw?

Write your conclusion below. You have to just write your conclusion and not all 7-steps as per our 7-steps method.

b. The owner of a local nightclub has recently surveyed a random sample of n = 25 customers of the club. She would now like to determine whether or not the mean age of her customers is over 35. If so, she plans to alter the entertainment to appeal to an older crowd. If not, no entertainment changes will be made. Suppose she found that the sample mean was 38 years and the sample standard deviation was 3.5 years. What is the p-value associated with the test statistic? You need to show your calculations for p value below including any graphs that you need to draw.

c. A pharmaceutical company has come up with a new drug and has applied for FDA approval. To approve the drug, FDA must find that it is safe for patients. What would be a Type II error in this case? You need to write the statement for Type II error by QMB 500 first formulating a null and alternate hypothesis. (Hint: See a similar problem like this in practice questions for Chapter 9).

d. Suppose, in testing a hypothesis about a proportion, the Z test statistic is computed to be 2.04.

What should be your decision about the null hypothesis if the chosen level of significance is 0.01 and a two-tailed test is used?

Write your decision below and provide reason for your decision along with any relevant calculations to support your decision. Do not write all 7-steps from the 7-step method discussed in the class.

For 2017, Permatemp reported the following book income statement and balance sheet, excluding the federal income tax expense, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities:

Additional information for 2017: • Because of limitations, $30,000 of the meals and entertainment expenses will be disallowed for tax purposes.

• Depreciation for tax purposes is $2.45 million under MACRS.

• Bad debt expense for tax purposes is $425,000 under the direct write-off method.

• Ignore the U.S. production activities deduction

• The corporate tax rate in 2017 was 34%. • At the end of 2017, Congress reduced the corporate tax rate to 21% effective for 2018.

a. Prepare page 1 of the 2017 Form 1120, computing the corporation’s taxable income and tax liability.

b. Determine the corporation’s deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability situation, and then complete the income statement and balance sheet to reflect proper GAAP accounting ASC 740. Because of the enacted tax rate change, deferred assets and liabilities at the end of 2017 will need to be valued at 21%. Use the balance sheet information to prepare Schedule L of the 2017 Form 1120.

c. Prepare the 2017 Schedule M-3 for Form 1120. d. Prepare a schedule that reconciles the corporation’s effective tax rate to the statutory 34% tax rate. This schedule will need a line to reflect the change in the future tax rate.
