Imagine you’re the CFO of a company with 10 product lines and an infrastructure that includes several functional departments which support some or all of these product lines. The CEO is curious as to what effect dropping one of the product lines or increasing investment in certain product lines might have on company profits.

Based specifically on what we’ve been reading about in recent weeks, what information should the CFO be gathering and key metrics calculated to help the CEO make such decisions? What are “fixed” expenses, are they truly “fixed” and how should they be considered when making such decisions?

Question 1 10 marks Charles, the CEO of JB Inc., and Frank, the accountant for JB Inc., were recently having a meeting to discuss the upcoming release of the company’s financial statements. Following is an excerpt of their conversation:

Charles: These financial statements do not show the hours of hard work that we have put in to restore this company to financial health. In fact, these results may actually prevent us from obtaining loans that are critical to our future.

Frank: Accounting does allow for judgment. Tell me your primary concerns, and let us see if we can work something out.

Charles: My first concern is that the company does not appear very liquid. As you can see, our current assets are only slightly more than current liabilities. The company has always paid its bills, even when cash was tight. It is not really fair that the financial statements don’t reflect this.

Frank: Well, we could reclassify some of the long-term investments as current assets instead of noncurrent assets. Our expectation is that we will hold these investments for several years, but we could sell them at any time; therefore, it is fair to count these as current assets. We could also reclassify some of the accounts payable as noncurrent. Even though we expect to pay them within the next year, no one will ever look close enough to see what we have done. Together these two changes should make us appear more liquid and properly reflect the hard work we have done.

Charles: I agree. However, if we make these changes, our long-term assets will be smaller and our long-term debt will be larger. Many analysts may view this as a sign of financial trouble. Is there not something we can do?

Frank: Our long-term assets are undervalued. Many were purchased years ago and recorded at historical cost. However, companies that bought similar assets are allowed to record them at an amount closer to their current market values. I have always thought this was misleading. If we increase the value of these long-term assets to their market value, this should provide the users of the financial statements with more relevant information and solve our problem, too.

Charles: Brilliant! Let us implement these actions quickly and get back to work.

Required: 1. Describe any ethical issues that might arise because of Charles and Frank’s conversation. (6)

2. Name at least 4 companies that misled its stakeholders by making use of Unethical accounting practices (4)
