  • You are an Entrepreneur Assignment

    $35.00

    Student life does not generally afford a great deal of free time to pursue your personal interests; however, at one point, you may have considered turning a personal interest or hobby into an official enterprise. Today, you have finally decided to turn that hobby into a business but have realized that you need start-up capital from a lender or investor.

    To obtain funding, you need to convince a lender / investor that your business is more than a hobby. You need to demonstrate that you have a firm grasp of your business, the accounting practices that impact your business, the controls needed to safeguard assets, and which accounting system will produce accurate and relevant financial information.

    Develop a Business Plan

    1.Describe the type of business you have created including:

    a. The product or service, and general staffing plan. Provide a rationale for your plan.

    b. The form of your business and the benefits it offers your particular business,

    c. A chart of accounts specific to your business, including a rationale as to the selection of each account. (Note: The chart of accounts is a blueprint of your business for the lender/investor. It should report the expected resources that you will consume in your business (assets), the sources of those resources (liabilities and equity), the sources of revenue, and expenditures that you expect to incur to earn those revenues. You may build a detailed chart that includes business units, divisions, product lines, etc.)

    2. Based on the form of your business, analyze whether or not you will be required to use Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) accounting methods and how the IFRS / GAAP convergence will impact your business. Suggest how you will incorporate any changes into your books and records. (Note: You need to demonstrate to the lender/investor that you have recognized possible changes to GAAP that may impact the accounting and reporting of your accounting events.)

    3. Prepare a pro forma balance sheet and income statement providing the assumptions made and support the valuations assigned.

    4. Considering the value of assets (assigned per your balance sheet) used within your business, recommend two (2) specific internal controls that you will implement to protect your company’s assets and resources, justifying how each will provide assurances to management. (NOTE: Safeguarding assets and protecting personal data are paramount to ensuring the viability of a business. Demonstrate to the lender/investor that your assets will be safeguarded and customer information (if applicable) will be protected.)

    5. Based on the internal control recommendations that you made, suggest how you will implement each within your business environment, indicating how challenges or resistances will be overcome.

    6. Evaluate the impact of the regulatory environment, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other regulatory requirements, on your business venture, giving considering to how you intend to comply with the requirements and the general impact to decision making within your business.

    7. Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.

  • Of the three primary statements, which one is the most important

    $10.00

    We have now covered the three major financial statements – the Income Statement, the Balance Sheet, and the Cash Flow Statement. We have identified the formats of the statements and we have covered in some detail the different items specifically presented in each. Furthermore, we have begun to cover the tools available to us to help us interpret and analyze the statements. Knowing what you now know of the statements, so please review in your minds all that we have discussed thus far in this course as it relates to the statements and respond to the following:

    First – of the three primary statements, which one is the most important or most beneficial to analysts and WHY?

    Second – keeping in mind what you will discuss relative to Section 6 of the Research Project Assignment, what are the major items or information that each of the three statements convey to us and what will you focus on relative to these three primary financial statements in Section 6 of your research effort?

    (For this, try to think as an analyst – why do we read the statements and what do we hope to learn from each one? Remember, analysis is all about looking at observations we make relative to the statements and then asking the question WHY? or SO WHAT?)
    In addressing this discussion, think about KROGER as a company and what you see as the more important issue or issues you have observed thus far relative to each statement.

  • Case Study Report for Accounting Information Systems

    $39.00

    This is a case study report for Accounting Information System;. Please follow all of the requirements and answer all of the questions.

    Accounting Information systems

    You are required to use the following case study and complete the tasks that are listed at the end of it and submit your answers as a report.

    ‘Ready To Eat’

    ‘Ready To Eat’ (RTE) is a small business owned and run by Rebecca Smith, single mother of three, in the coastal town of Yowie 200 kilometers away from the state capital city. RTE prepares and supplies pre‐packed healthy meals.

    Rebecca realized a need for healthy pre‐packed meals in her town for locals and also for tourists and started the business in her own kitchen in 2000 with one kitchen‐hand who was also the delivery person. The meals’ variety was put together by a qualified nutrition specialist. The meals were packed and delivered on a daily basis to participating local businesses such as service stations, gyms, and corner shops. Sometimes, there were also lunch orders from local offices in CBD area. In the beginning, the business was slow but soon progressed further and started making a nice profit.

    RTE operates seven days a week and the kitchen staff work from 6am to 2pm and the delivery staff from 9am to 5pm. The business does not operate on public holidays. Over the years, Rebecca thought many times about opening the business on public holidays as well due to more visitors in the town on these days, but could not decide as she wanted to spend public holidays with her family. Also, being the main person in the managing role, it would have been difficult to open the business and not being contactable.

    Rebecca had done a business management certificate course which helped her in setting up the business. Later, she bought a personal computer (PC) with essential business and productivity software and managed the business quite nicely by keeping a grip on customers’ details, meals variety and pricing information, wages, details of fruits and vegetables and other raw material, packaging material, other overheads, invoices and calculating the financial figures.

    Last year, the demand for the pre‐packed meals had grown to a level that Rebecca had to hire three more staff in the kitchen and also one full‐time delivery person, making it six staff altogether including Rebecca. It was getting difficult for Rebecca to run operations smoothly with the existing PC and the software. She was also having difficulty in managing the pricing information and raw material (as the varieties had increased) and communicating with the customers. It was not just the PC and the software, but also she did not have enough time to do things she used to when the business was quite small.

    Lately, a competitor has come in the market; another small business owned by a regional company and started to challenge RTE’s products. With Rebecca’s problems in managing the business, the competitor has started to take some business away from RTE. Rebecca realized she had to do something to keep a grip on things as she used to. Rebecca knew that computers could help her in managing the business well, but did not know much about them and how computers may be helpful.

    So, she contacted a local IT consulting company which is owned and run by you.

    Tasks：

    Complete the following tasks and submit your answers as report. Make sure to follow the requirements and report structure mentioned below under a separate heading.

    As the business/IT consultant, you need to advise Rebecca Smith on possibilities that would best suit the requirements. She will need advice on what types of information systems can help the business and how the introduction of information systems will impact the business. You need to write a report which should cover the following tasks:

    1. Define information systems; explain how they work; and describe their benefits for business.What types of information systems could be used to support RTE?
    2. Explain how these information systems could help RTE in managing the business. How will the introduction of information systems affect management decision‐making?
    3. Use Porter’s Competitive Forces Model to explain how these information systems could be used to gain competitive advantages.
    4. What are the information requirements of RTE? What business processes should RTE consider making computerised? Why?
    5. What management challenges will affect organisational change during the implementation of the computerised information system?
    6. State and explain the security and ethical issues may arise from the introduction of information systems in the business?

    Requirements & report structure

    Reference sources from general websites are not acceptable.

    At least six (6) credible references must be used and at least three (3) of these must be from academic (scholarly) journals. The remaining three (3) may be from industry magazines or books.

You can use material from organisational web sites as an example to support your arguments but it is not counted towards the references’ quota (i.e., 6 references).

    Weighting FINAL Report – 40%

     

    Context:

    This Assessment builds upon the first assessment but focuses on the implementation of portfolio management. This assessment is designed to highlight the skills, methodologies, tools and techniques required in project selection and management of a portfolio in order for an organisation to meet its specific business objectives. As organisations become more multi-faceted, evaluating the performance of their project portfolios becomes more complex and new methods of evaluation must be developed to account for this complexity.

    Improving performance is also a key determinant for achieving organisational success which, in turn, is related to the project portfolio management maturity level of the organisation which may vary considerably. During implementation, organisations will be impacted by changes created by project and portfolio management initiatives and the project manager’s response must be cognisant of the corporate culture in which it is taking place and the strategies needed to account for any adverse impacts.

    Instructions:

    You have been successful in convincing executive management of CISCO Systems that the organisation should introduce a portfolio management function and now that all the planning has been completed, you have been given the responsibility for its implementation. However, not everyone in the organisation of CISCO is convinced that it is the right approach to take and you can already feel the forces of resistance starting to build from those who will be directly affected by its day-to-day operation.

    You have determined that the status quo for managing projects in the organisation is not an option and will argue against it at every opportunity. The best way to convince your CISCO colleagues of the benefits of implementing project portfolio management is to review the processes and assess whether improvements to project selection, performance and success have been made, greater potential exists for aligning the business operations with strategic objectives, the benefits of enhanced portfolio management and evaluation to meet more complex needs are evident, and whether you think there is the potential for improving the maturity level of the organisation in project portfolio management in the future.

    You recognise that during implementation, the changes created by the initiative have caused resistance from the CISCO colleagues and that your assessment must be cognisant of the CISCO corporate culture in the organisation and include strategies to account for different perspectives from key stakeholders and any other adverse impacts this may cause. In responding to this ‘challenge’, you have decided to document your findings in a report that will be presented to the CISCO executive management as part of the organisation’s annual review process which MUST address ALL the following 20 (twenty) requirements:

    1. Is the organisation investing in the right projects?
    2. Is the organisation optimising its capacity?
    3. How well is the organisation executing?
    4. Can the organisation absorb all the changes?
    5. Is the organisation realising the promised benefits? Portfolio Evaluation
    6. What method is the organisation using to evaluate its overall project portfolio?
    7. What is the justification of using the chosen method in comparison to some of the others that are available?
    8. Are there any challenges that the organisation might face in using the current method if it were to operate in a global environment?
    9. Is the benefits management lifecycle incorporated in the evaluation process?
    10. How might benefits management be helpful in successfully meeting the deliverable goals of the organisation’s projects? Portfolio Management
    11. How is project portfolio management ensuring that the organisation’s collective projects are aligning with its strategic objectives?
    12. Has a Project Management Office been introduced into the organisation and, if so, has it played a role in terms of standardising practices and increasing project success rates? If not, why not? What alternative approaches are available?
    13. What quantitative and qualitative tools and techniques is the organisation currently using to manage its project portfolio and are they effective? Maturity Levels
    14. At what maturity level do you believe the organisation is at in terms of its approach to project portfolio management?
    15. What are the key best practices which can be adopted to improve the maturity level and which model (e.g. PRINCE2, OPM3) do you think would be appropriate?
    16. How might you go about implementing this change and what assistance from the organisation would you require? Corporate Culture
    17. Assess the corporate culture of the organisation and whether it is likely to be different in terms of key internal stakeholder influence and input (e.g. HR Director, Technology Manager, Facilities Manager, Accountant).
    18. Will any change management initiative in terms of project portfolio management process improvement and benefits realisation need to take into account the different perspectives of these stakeholders and what concerns might each stakeholder express?
    19. What aspects of the corporate culture do you think would support project portfolio management and its sustainability criteria? And;
    20. Are there any challenges involved in getting project portfolio management and its sustainability criteria embraced by the organisation?

    In considering these requirements, be mindful of the differing views and staff perspectives on the benefits and potential outcomes and highlight key instances where the implementation of project portfolio management is having both positive and/or negative effects and how they should be addressed.

  • Tesco Financial Analysis Paper

    $20.00

    Individual Written Coursework 2

    Format

    The assignment is a 1,500 word report.  Word count +/- 10% is acceptable.

    Your report should be an analysis of the financial performance of Tesco PLC (Company number 00445790).

    Start the main body of your report with an overview of Tesco’s recent history and any significant

    changes that have happened within the company.

    You should calculate at least 2 financial ratios from each of the 5 types of ratios: Profitability; Efficiency; Liquidity; Financial Structure; Stock Market measures (i.e. 10 in total). For each of your 10 ratios, calculate 2 successive years’ performance – e.g. 2012 and 2013.

    You should analyse and discuss any differences between the ratios calculated and suggest reasons why the figures are different.   For example, if Gross Margin % has decreased, is this due to an increase in costs, or a decrease in revenue?    If costs have increased, might this be to increase oil prices?   Remember to back up statements with evidence (referenced appropriately) and logical, reasoned argument.  You may wish to also use a ratio from a company in a similar market, or a competitor to Whitbread and draw appropriate conclusions.

    Repetitive statements along the lines of “It’s because of the recession” will not be rewarded!  Try and

    be more creative, original, and THINK!

    Referencing

    In your assignment, you should ensure that you cite and reference all your sources properly, according to the Harvard convention.

    If you have doubts about how to use this convention, refer to the document at  http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/studysupport/69049.htm

    You should include references to all cited sources in a single list at the end of the assignment.
