The new revenue recognition standard issue by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) will call for major changes in the way companies in the airline industry recognize revenue. Airlines may have to change how they account for loyalty status benefits, mileage credits, change fees, and breakage for tickets that expire unused. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has formed an airlines task force to address implementation issues of the new standard for the airline industry. Assume that you have been called upon to present an analysis of the impact of the new standard on Southwest Airlines.
Refer to Southwest’s (ticker symbol: LUV) current/most recent financial statements (10-K) and the accompanying notes to answer the following questions. The current/most recent financial statement can be found on https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html. Search for the company in the ‘Fast Search’ box by using the ticker symbol provided above. In the list of results, find the latest filing labeled 10-K and select the ‘Documents’ link. On the next page, select the document of type ’10-K’ to open it.
A. For each of the following revenue categories, describe the current accounting, the likely changes (if any) that the new revenue recognition standard will require, and the potential impact of those changes on patterns of revenue recognition.
1) Flight Transportation (for tickets used and for ticket breakage)
2) Loyalty Program
3) Ancillary Services and Other Revenue
B. Identify any areas that will require more discretion and judgment and specify why.

Chris’s Florist Shop records all prepaid costs as assets and all revenue collected in advance as liabilities, and makes adjustments only at its fiscal year end, which is June 30th. All of Chris’s purchases are for cash unless stated otherwise. The following information relates to Chris’s June 30, 2011 year end, its first year of operations.
1. On July 2nd, 2010, Chris purchased equipment for $12,000. The equipment is expected to have a useful life of 8 years.
2. On August 1, 2010 a one-year insurance policy was purchased for $1,740.
3. On February 1, 2011 a corporate customer paid $2,080 as full payment for a one year contract for fresh flowers to be delivered to its offices every Monday morning. At June 30, 21 of the required 52 deliveries had been completed.
4. On July 2, 2010 Chris purchased enough supplies to last the entire first year of operations for $4,400. At June 30, 2011, Chris counted the supplies on hand and calculated the cost, which amounted to $1,035.
5. On May 31, Chris borrows $20,000 from the bank to increase the amount of inventory and expand the business. The interest rate on the loan is 6% and requires monthly payments of interest on the first of each month. The principal is due in one year’s time. The first interest payment is due July 1.
6 Chris pays her store assistant on alternate Fridays. The last pay day in June was June 20th and the first pay day after year end July is July 4th. The assistant worked 30 hours during this period, of which 20 were in July, and the rest in June. The assistant earns $9.50 an hour.
7. June 28th is a busy day and Chris has to make deliveries to numerous customers. On July 5th she reviews her June billings, and realizes that she made one large sale for $325 on June 30th for flowers that were delivered, but for which no invoice was issued. The sale was to a regular customer who will pay promptly when the invoice is sent.
8. Chris offers customers a coupon valued at $20 every ten floral arrangements that a customer buys. At June 30th, she reviews her records and finds that 18 customers have purchased enough flowers to claim coupons. Chris records the cost of these coupons as “Coupon Expense” when the customer becomes entitled to them.

At the end of 2016, its first year of operations, Swelland Company reported a pretax operating loss of $32,000 for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. At that time, Swelland had no positive verifiable evidence that it would earn future taxable income. However, due to successful management, the company reported pretax operating income (and taxable income) of $70,000 in 2017. During both years, the income tax rate was 30%, and no change had been enacted for future years.

A queueing system serves two types of customers. Type 1 customers arrive according to a Poisson process with a mean rate of 5 per hour. Type 2 customers arrive according to a Poisson process at a mean rate of 3 per hour. The system has two servers, both of which serve both types of customer. All service times have exponential distribution with a mean of 10 minutes. Service is provided on a first-come-first-served basis.
a. What is the probability distribution of the time between consecutive arrivals of customers of any type, what is its mean?
b. Assume that when a Type 2 customer arrives, he finds two Type 1 customers being served and no other customers in the system. What is the probability distribution of this Type 2 customer’s waiting time in the queue and its mean?

Henry Hawkins uses an accrual-based accounting system. That means they report sales revenues on the income statement in the period the revenues are earned and they report expenses on the income statement in the period the expenses were incurred to earn the revenue.
Based on the following information, calculate the cash received from customers for 2016.
Sales for 2016 (all on account) $1,545,000
Accounts receivable, January 1, 2016 $81,600
Accounts receivable, December 31, 2016 $100,800

Assume that the only thing happening in Accounts Payable is the purchase and payment of inventory. Based on the following information, calculate the cash paid for inventory for 2016:
Cost of goods sold $525,000
Inventory, January 1, 2016 $158,600
Accounts payable, January 1, 2016 $66,700

please answer with details:
Q- International Electronic Products Ltd. (IEP) have sales revenue of€365m p.a. earned evenly throughout the year. They offer all customers 30 days credit, half of whom adhere to the terms, while the other half takes an average of 70 days credit. The business is considering offering a 2% discount to all customers who adhere to the 30 days credit term. Market research shows that this 2% discount offer will result in half of those who pay in 70 days paying in 30 days, but the balance will still take 70 days. But importantly, the scheme is also expected to reduce bad debts by €300,000 per annum.
i- Calculate the cost / benefit of this proposal, if IEP are currently paying 12% per annum interest on a continuing overdraft of approx €50m.
ii- Comment on whether should IEP go ahead with the proposed scheme?
