Early in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, San Antonio Outfitters finalized plans to expand operations. The first stage was completed on March 28 with the purchase of a tract of land on the outskirts of the city. The land and existing building were purchased for $1,080,000. San Antonio paid $340,000 and signed a noninterest-bearing note requiring the company to pay the remaining $740,000 on March 28, 2020. An interest rate of 6% properly reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement. Title search, insurance, and other closing costs totaling $34,000 were paid at closing.
   
During April, the old building was demolished at a cost of $84,000, and an additional $64,000 was paid to clear and grade the land. Construction of a new building began on May 1 and was completed on October 29. Construction expenditures were as follows: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

San Antonio borrowed $5,500,000 at 6% on May 1 to help finance construction. This loan, plus interest, will be paid in 2019. The company also had the following debt outstanding throughout 2018:

In November, the company purchased 10 identical pieces of equipment and office furniture and fixtures for a lump-sum price of $740,000. The fair values of the equipment and the furniture and fixtures were $546,000 and $294,000, respectively. In December, San Antonio paid a contractor $355,000 for the construction of parking lots and for landscaping.
  
Required:
1. Determine the initial values of the various assets that San Antonio acquired or constructed during 2018. The company uses the specific interest method to determine the amount of interest capitalized on the building construction.

Your consulting services have been requested by the CEO of a large international corporation. The CEO is concerned about ethical issues surrounding corporate governance from a global perspective. A common example may be where a corporate board of directors breached one or more duties, such as the duty of loyalty, to its shareholders—although there are many other areas where business ethics are at the center of a case that originated at the governance level of an organization.

You are asked to conduct research and analyze a case involving ethical issues surrounding corporate governance from a global position. Briefly describe the facts of the case, the legal issue, and the decision of the court. In addition, discuss the effect of the case from a global business perspective, on society in general, and how the corporation could prevent such issues in the future.

cenario You are the global marketing vice president at Dyson. You have been asked to attend a meeting with James Dyson, the company's founder. Dyson's CEO and the head of Dyson's New Product Innovation department will also be in attendance. "Thanks for meeting with me today," James says. "Market intelligence has shown that our major competitors—Hoover, Shark, and Bissell—are all developing new cordless vacuum cleaners with a longer battery life than what's currently available." James Dyson looks to you: "I need you to participate in a new cross-functional product development team that will research the feasibility of creating a cordless vacuum cleaner that works for one hour on a single charge. We also need to know if there's even a market for this type of vacuum," he says. "We envision that this new vacuum will be used primarily in the home, but keep in mind, we want to be able to adapt it easily and cheaply for light commercial use. One way of doing this is by using swappable battery packs." "Have an actionable marketing plan ready for me in three weeks," James says. You know that to give the CEO the most thorough report, you'll need to conduct an internal analysis of Dyson and an environmental scan for the new vacuum cleaner. You'll need to have a detailed plan for identifying marketing opportunities, and you'll need to research the home and commercial vacuum cleaner industry, market trends, and Dyson's major global competition.

Your financial analysis should include average unit cost, average unit price, number of units per batch, any outsourcing costs, a breakeven analysis, a sales forecast, and an expense forecast (including marketing and sales expenses). In addition, explain your schedule for implementation, the controls you intend to put in place, and how you intend to proceed (i.e., contingency plans) when your benchmarks are not met.

Milestone 6: Submit a one page document explaining your financial analysis and implementation for the startup of a new Dyson vacuum cleaner.
