Consider the hand bag market.

Assume this market is monopolistic competition.

1. Select a company and its handbags and explain how their handbags are distinguished in the market. (For example, Bottega Veneta uses a cross woven leather that makes its hand bags, supple, durable and attractive).

Because of that distinguishing characteristic, assume your company is earning a profit.

2. Please draw a monopolistic competition diagram showing that your company is earning a profit (note: careful with the demand line - it should be distinguished from a monopoly diagram - see section 10.1 in your text and the diagrams in "perceived demand …)

3. Assume now that competition has heated up and a competitor has a handbag out that is similar to your own (For example Michael Kors might come out with a cross hatched leather hand bag). Please explain this competition and show how it effects the demand of your handbag as well as your profits on the diagram.

4. Given this event, assume that your company would like to maintain its profits. Explain what it might do, and explain how it would effect your diagram.

5. Please explain some of the efficiency issues with monopolistic competition as they relate to your example..

6. Please explain some of the advantages of monopolistic competition as they relate to your example.

It has not used any trade financing because the importing firm always pays its bill in a timely manner upon receipt of the computer chips. However, Bronx Co. was concerned that the foreign government may impose foreign exchange controls. Bronx Co. reconsidered whether it should use some form of trade financing that would ensure that it would be paid for its exports upon delivery. How could Bronx Co. have achieved its goal?

Problem 4 Hart Insurance is a regulated insurance company. During the 4th quarter of 2014 the company declared a dividend that was paid to shareholders at year end. Also, in the fourth quarter the company had to record a significant insurance loss associated with insurance coverage in an area hit by a major hurricane. As a result the company of the impairment and the dividend, the company had a retained deficit. However, state insurance laws prohibit paying a dividend when the company has an accumulated deficit.

Questions: Describe the ethical responsibilities of a CPA:

 Who is also the audit partner on the annual audit of Hart Insurance (i.e. what are the ethical responsibilities of a CPA who is also the audit partner on an audit engagement).

 Who is also the CFO (i.e. what are the ethical responsibilities of a CPA who also serves as a CFO for a company)?

 Who has also been hired by an attorney to investigate a potential violation of law on behalf of the board of directors?

The following case studies use the conceptual frameworks for members in public practice and for members in business that are embedded in new Codification of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. The conceptual frameworks were approved by the AICPA Professional Ethics Executive Committee in January of 2014 and it are effective beginning December 15, 2015. The AICPA Code of Professional Conduct (see reference above) includes both conceptual frameworks.
