Problem 4-2 (Essay)

On November 1, 2016, Campbell Corporation management decided to discontinue operation of its Rocketeer Division and approved a formal plan to dispose of the division. Campbell is a successful corporation with earnings of $150 million or more before tax for each of the past five years. The Rocketeer Division, a major part of Campbell’s operations, is being discontinued because it has not contributed to this profitable performance.

The division’s main assets are the land, building, and equipment used to manufacture engine components. The land, building, and equipment had a net book value of $42 million on November 1, 2016.

Campbell’s management has entered into negotiations for a cash sale of the division for $36 million (net of costs to sell). The sale date and final disposal date of the division is expected to be July 1, 2017. Campbell Corporation has a fiscal year ending May 31. The results of operations for the Rocketeer Division for the 2016–17 fiscal year and the estimated results for June 2017 are presented below. The before-tax losses after October 31, 2016, are calculated without depreciation on the building and equipment.

The Rocketeer Division will be accounted for as a discontinued operation on Campbell’s financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2017. Campbell’s tax rate is 25% on operating income and all gains and losses. Campbell prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

(d)
Assume that Campbell Corporation management was debating whether the sale of the Rocketeer Division qualified for discontinued operations accounting treatment under IFRS. List specific factors or arguments that management would use to suggest that the Rocketeer Division should be treated as a discontinued operation. Why might management have a particular preference about which treatment is given? From an external user’s perspective, what relevance does the presentation of the discontinued operation have when interpreting the financial results?

Taxpayer is considering the following investment.

Compute the present value of the after-tax cash flows of this investment, using a discount rate of 6%. Note: This investment begins with year 1, not year 0. Your cash flows should be discounted accordingly.

What effect do nutrient additions have on plant species diversity? Long-term experiments at the Rothamstead Experimental Station in the U.K. sought to investigate the relationship, with some interesting findings.

The data can be found in the linked Google Sheets document  - you'll want to copy it to Excel and use the Data Analysis ToolPak.

1) Produce a scatter plot of the data (click here for a generic youtube video on creating a scatter plot from excel data - this is for informational purposes only - it's not your data)

• Which is the explanatory variable? (nutrients OR species)
• Which is the response variable? (nutrients OR species)
• Looking at your scatter plot, do you observe a positive or negative relationship?  

2) Add the least-squares regression line to your scatter plot. (click here for a generic youtube video on adding trendlines to scatter plots - this is for informational purposes only - it's not your data)

• What fraction of the variation in the number of plant species is "explained" by the number of nutrients added? Answer to two decimal places.

3) Test the hypothesis of no treatment effect on the number of plant species.

• What is your t-value?  
• Do you accept or reject the null hypothesis?
