  Flame Fixtures, Inc. Case Study Business Application of Purchasing Power Parity

  $15.00

  Unit III Case Study
  Flame Fixtures, Inc. Case Study
  Business Application of Purchasing Power Parity
  Flame Fixtures, Inc. is a small U.S. business in Arizona that produces and sells lamp fixtures. Its costs and revenues have been very stable over time. Its profits have been adequate, but Flame has been searching for a means of increasing profits in the future.
  It has recently been negotiating with a Mexican firm called Corón Company, from which it will purchase some of the necessary parts. Every three months, Corón Company will send a specified number of parts with the bill invoiced in Mexican pesos. By having the parts produced by Corón, Flame expects to save about 20 percent on production costs. Corón is only willing to work out a deal if it is assured that it will receive a minimum specified amount of orders every 3 months over the next 10 years, for a minimum specified amount. Flame will be required to use its assets to serve as collateral in case it does not fulfill its obligation. The price of the parts will change over time in response to the costs of production. Flame recognizes that the cost to Corón will increase substantially over time as a result of the very high inflation rate in Mexico. Therefore, the price charged in pesos likely will rise substantially every three months. However, Flame feels that, because of the concept of purchasing power parity (PPP), its dollar payments to Corón will be very stable.
  According to PPP, if Mexican inflation is much higher than U.S. inflation, the peso will weaken against the dollar by that difference. Since Flame does not have much liquidity, it could experience a severe cash shortage if its expenses are much higher than anticipated. The demand for Flame’s product has been very stable and is expected to continue that way. Since the U.S. inflation rate is expected to be very low, Flame likely will continue pricing its lamps at today’s prices (in dollars). It believes that by saving 20 percent on production costs it will substantially increase its profits. It is about ready to sign a contract with Corón Company.

  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.

  ‘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. The references can be from printed or online sources and must be current (i.e. within the last seven (7) years). 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).
