Mt. Kinley is a strategy consulting firm that divides its consultants into three classes: associates, managers, and partners. The firm has been stable in size for the last 20 years, ignoring growth opportunities in the 90’s, but also not suffering from a need to downsize in the recession at the beginning of the 21^st century. Specifically, there have been--- and are expected to be--- 300 associates, 100 managers, and 30 partners.

The work environment at Mt. Kinley is rather competitive. After five years of working as an associate, a consultant goes “either up or out”; that is, becomes a manager or is dismissed from the company. Similarly, after another five years, a manger either becomes a partner or is dismissed. The company recruits MBAs as associate consultants; no hires are made at the manager or partner level. A partner stays with the company for another 10 years (a total of 20 years with the company).

How many new MBA graduates does Mt. Kinley have to hire every year?

What are the odds that a new hire at Mt. Kinley will become partner (as opposed to being dismissed after 5 years or 10 years)?

On January 1, 20X8, Pace Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Spin PLC, a British Company, for $350,000. Spin's net assets on the date of acquisition were 250,000 pounds (£). On January 1, 20X8, the book and fair values of the Spin's identifiable assets and liabilities approximated their fair values except for property, plant, and equipment and trademarks. The fair value of Spin's property, plant, and equipment exceeded its book value by $25,000. The remaining useful life of Spin's equipment at January 1, 20X8, was 10 years. The remainder of the differential was attributable to a trademark having an estimated useful life of 5 years. Spin's trial balance on December 31, 20X8, in pounds, follows:

Additional Information

1. Spin uses the FIFO method for its inventory. The beginning inventory was acquired on December 31, 20X7, and ending inventory was acquired on December 26, 20X8. Purchases of £300,000 were made evenly throughout 20X8.

2. Spin acquired all of its property, plant, and equipment on March 1, 20X6, and uses straight-line depreciation.

3. Spin's sales were made evenly throughout 20X8, and its operating expenses were incurred evenly throughout 20X8.

4. The dividends were declared and paid on November 1, 20X8.

5. Pace's income from its own operations was $150,000 for 20X8, and its total stockholders' equity on January 1, 20X8, was $1,000,000. Pace declared $50,000 of dividends during 20X8.

6. Exchange rates were as follows:

Required:

1) Prepare a schedule translating the trial balance from British pounds into U.S. dollars. Assume the pound is the functional currency.

2) Assume that Pace uses the fully adjusted equity method. Record all journal entries that relate to its investment in the British subsidiary during 20X8. Provide the necessary documentation and support for the amounts in the journal entries, including a schedule of the translation adjustment related to the differential.

3) Prepare a schedule that determines Pace's consolidated comprehensive income for 20X8.

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. The company decided to enter a contract to purchase U.S currency (December 15 2017). The company agreed to buy $7 million in U.S. currency for $7,070,000 (U.S. $1 = Canadian $1.01) from foreign currency inc. using a 90 day forward contract. Any changes to the Canadian dollars will be transferred to the company. On December 31, 2017 the new value was U.S. $1 = Canadian $ 1.02. Assume fair value of contract was 50,000$ at December 31, 2017

Required:

B) determine the carrying amount of each statement of financial portion at near end, December 31, 2017

Ben Bates graduated from college six years ago with a finance undergraduate degree. Although he is satisfied with his current job, his goal is to become an investment banker. He feels that an MBA degree would allow him to achieve this goal. After examining schools, he has narrowed his choice to Wilton University. Ben currently works at the money management firm. His annual salary at the firm is $65,000 per year, and his salary is expected to increase at 3 percent per year until retirement. He is currently 28 years old and expects to work for 40 more years. His current average tax rate is 26 percent. Ben has a savings account with enough money to cover the entire cost of his MBA program. The MBA degree at Wilton University requires two years of full-time enrollment at the university. The annual tuition and other supplies cost $78,000, payable at the beginning of each school year. Ben expects that after graduation from Wilton, he will receive a job offer for about $110,000 per year and work for 38 years. The salary at this job will increase at 4 percent per year. Because of the higher salary, his average income tax rate will increase to 31 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 6.5 percent. Assuming all salaries are paid at the end of each year, what is the best option for Ben—from a strictly financial standpoint?

Case 5.0: Incentives in the Firm – Compensating the CEO

Let’s work through an incentive concept and problem. “Moral hazard” problems arise when someone – the “principal” – hires an agent to do something, but the agent has an incentive to do something else. For example, firm owners may want their management team to maximize profits, but maximizing profits is hard, time-consuming work that could interfere with the management team’s preference for playing golf. If top management simply receives a salary, the problem is aggravated because the managers may not be motivated to satisfy the owners, and the owners can’t easily monitor management activity to know if they’re really doing a good job. The problem is resolved in large part if the owners tie most or all of management compensation to firm profits, as income is often a pretty good motivator (although some golf nuts will still pause for a while over this one.) We can set up a scenario to explore this incentive issue further, and this problem will also help fix in our minds the difference between maximizing revenue and maximizing profit.

A small firm faces an inverse demand function of P = 100 - Q. Its total cost function is given by TC = .5Q².   (You should see right away that marginal revenue is thus MR = 100 – 2Q, and it also happens that marginal cost is just MC = Q. Both MR and MC are the first derivatives of total revenue and total cost. And a quick comment on MC: unlike some marginal cost functions we’ve seen, this one is not constant, because marginal cost is getting $1 higher with each additional unit of output.)

The Chief Executive Officer will manage the firm, choosing output and price. Currently, the CEO is negotiating an incentive-based contract with the shareholders of the company. The CEO has proposed that she get 20% of the total revenue brought in by the firm. The shareholders' representative has counter-offered that 10% of total revenue be given to the CEO. (Hint: basing compensation on revenue will motivate revenue maximization rather than profit maximization!)

1.    How much income will each plan generate for the CEO and for the shareholders, respectively? (Hint: since both plans create incentives for the CEO to maximize revenue rather than profit, you should not set MR = MC at this point. BIG hint: revenue is maximized when selling an additional unit won’t increase your revenue, or in math terms, when MR = 0.)

CEO’s proposal: she keeps 20% of TR.

Owners’ proposal: CEO keeps 10% of TR.

2.    Suppose you are asked to mediate in the negotiations. Can you propose an incentive-based compensation scheme for the CEO that both parties are likely to accept, assuming everyone would like to maximize their income?

Your proposal:

Demonstration that everyone is better off than under their own proposal and thus should accept your proposal:

3.    Now thinking even more shrewdly: what’s the maximum price you could charge for your consulting services and still leave everyone better off?
