Research two (2) publically traded U.S. companies, and download their financial statements. Assume that you are the CEO of one of the selected companies. You are responsible for gaining control over the other company. You have three (3) choices, either of which you believe that the Board of Directors will support. Choice 1: Your company acquires 35% of the voting stock of the target company. Choice 2: Your company acquires 51% of the voting stock of the target company. Choice 3: Your company acquires 100% of the voting stock of the target company.

1) Provide a brief background introduction on both the company that you are working for and the company that you are responsible for gaining control over.

2) Specify the overall manner in which the acquisition fits into your company’ strategic direction. Next, identify at least three (3) possible synergies that could occur as a result of the proposed acquisition.

3) Select two (2) out of the three (3) choices provided in the above scenario, and analyze the key accounting requirements for each of the two (2) choices that you selected. Next, suggest one (1) strategy in which you would prepare the financial statements for your company after the acquisition under each of the two (2) choices.

4) Select the choice that you consider to be the most advantageous to your company. Explain to the Board of Directors at least three (3) reasons why your selected choice is the most advantageous to the company.

5) Assume two (2) years after the acquisition, your Board of Directors wants to offer the shares back to the public in hopes of making a large profit. Assume that in each of the two (2) years your company and the target company have had exactly the same reported net income as they did in the year of acquisition. Determine the type of value, (e.g., cost of fair value) that you would use to report the subsidiary’s net asset in the subsidiary’s financial statements, which the company will distribute to the public with the public offering. Provide support for your rationale.

6) Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Case study 5
Reebok is a sporting goods manufacturing company in the United Kingdom. It is one of the best- sellers among top other finest sporting brands. The company’s footwear, clothing, accessories, and sports equipment are in wide demand in many counties across the globe, and they are challengers for core branded companies for a quite span of time. For a long time, no competitor could compete with their products, and then came the Adidas Company of Germany in 1949 as more challenging with more satisfactory and reasonably priced products to the customers. Though all the products are sporting products, there will be always various tastes and preferences in the minds of the customers. Reebok consumers like the way companies shoes are featured, and the consumers of Adidas companies prefer in this brand due to the low priced products and as well for the high quality.
Adidas has larger product line product than the Reebok. Adidas Company is also very clear that they connect and engage with its customers as per their need and demand. Adidas sells a range of clothing items, varying from men's and women's t-shirts, jackets, hoodies, pants, and leggings. Adidas has many other business locations around the world such as Portland OR, Hong Kong, Toronto, Taiwan, England, Japan, Australia, and Spain. One of the main focuses of Adidas has always been football kits, and the associated equipment. Adidas is a significant global manufacturer of team kits for football teams and clubs to foreign organizations. Adidas Performance was designed to maintain their devotion to the athlete; in comparison the Reebok Company has relatively less products than the giant Adidas Company. Thus the customers of Adidas were overwhelmed with the services and products of the second-largest best sporting manufacturing company in the globe.

Question 5

i) Evaluate the marketing mix adopted by Adidas.
(4 Marks–100 /125 words)

ii) Discuss why most of the consumers wanted to buy Adidas products instead of Reebok products.
(3 Marks–75 / 100 words)

iii) Did Adidas follow the new product pricing effectively? Justify. (3 Marks–75 / 100 words)
