  Memorandum: Write a memo based on the following plan

  $5.00

  Write a memo based on the following plan:

  Buffer:

  At the end of each fiscal year, it is important to assess the overall profitability of the company and the individual contribution to operating income from each of the company’s division. We are fortunate that all but one of the company’s operating divisions are reporting profits and contributing well to overall operating income.

  Reasons:

  Direction from the CEO and board of directors specifies that each of the firm’s divisions should provide a positive contribution to operating income. Decisions should be made with complete objectivity. Unless there is a qualitative reason to retain a segment that is not contributing positive operating income, the segment should be eliminated.

  Bad News:

  The Denver Division’s bottom line shows negative numbers. However, sometimes allocated and unavoidable fixed costs create an incorrect picture of what a segment actually contributes to overall company operating profits. In order to be completely sure that the Denver Division is not contributing a hidden positive operating income, I should remove all unavoidable fixed costs. . While we would all prefer the continuance of this division, the overall computation shows that the Denver Division is causing a reduction of $27,800 in company operating profits. If the $27,800 is eliminated, profits will incrase a striking 45.6% of current operating income.

  Conclusion:

  Serious consideration should be given to closing the Denver Division. Qualitative factors and possibility of income improvement should be considered before making the final decision; however, in the absence of any reason not to close Denver, it should likely be eliminated.

  Case 1 Assignment: You are controller of Finn Manufacturing Company

  $5.00

  You are controller of Finn Manufacturing Company and have been advised by a colleague that the sales director is unlawfully declaring fuel benefits in order to save substantial taxes. This has been creating higher profit margins and if declared those margins will go down. There is potential that this could push the company into insolvency, which would result in job losses for 300 employees. You have made the other directorsaware of the situation but they have expressed a wish not to disclose the misleading tax bill. You are aware that by declaring this information to the tax authorities, as required by law, that the organization may have to declare insolvency and those 300 employees could lose their jobs.

  The Board of Directors has asked that you write a memo covering the details of the issue and providing a recommendation for going forward.

  Organize your thoughts by considering: 1) introducing the issue; 2) the facts; 3) recommendations and 4) closing comments. (Do not assume that there is only one way to deal with this issue.)

  The memo should be in good format for a professional memo and have citations for any source used.

Identify your key stakeholder groups, and discuss the appropriate report and delivery strategy for each.

  In addition to answering the discussion question, before the end of the week, begin commenting on at least 2 of your peers’ responses to the discussion question.
