    Pleasure Craft Inc.

    Since beginning 40 years ago, Pleasure Craft INC. has been successful in both the domestic and international marketplace. Currently producing two products, snowmobiles and personal watercraft, both of which have become mature markets and thus giving little room to grow, two options have been determined to further the growth of Pleasure Craft INC.. First being to start production on outboard motors. This option allows Pleasure Craft INC. to remain in a familiar market, utilizing current contacts and sales tactics. The second option draws upon Pleasure Craft INC.’s experience with small engine manufacturing but unfamiliar sales market, which is producing front end loaders. Front end loaders would be sold to construction companies, farmers, ranchers, the military and to municipal governments. Pleasure Craft INC. would sell the front end loaders to retailers to serve the construction, farming and ranching markets. But sell directly to the military and municipal governments. The sales of the front end loaders would require a new sales staff, entirely dedicated to this products sales. A national sales manager, two regional sales managers as well as 10 sales staff would need to be hired.…

    Lessee, Ltd

    Case 11-6 Lessee Ltd. Lessee Ltd., a British company that applies IFRSs, leased equipment from Lessor Inc. on January 1, 2007, for a period of three years. Lease payments of $100,000 are due to Lessor Inc. each year. Other expenses (e.g., insurance, taxes, maintenance) are also to be paid by Lessee Ltd. and amount to $2,000 per year. The lessor did not incur any initial direct costs. The lease contains no purchase or renewal options and the equipment reverts back to Lessor Inc. on the expiration of the lease. The remaining useful life of the equipment is four years. The fair value of the equipment at lease inception is $265,000. Lessee Ltd. has guaranteed $20,000 as the residual value at the end of the lease term. The $20,000 represents the expected value of the leased equipment to the lessee at the end of the lease term. The salvage value of the equipment is expected to be $2,000 after the end of its economic life. The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is 11 percent (Lessor’s implicit rate is 10 percent and is calculable by the lessee from the lease agreement). The junior accountant of Lessee Ltd. analyzed the assets under lease and prepared a computation. The senior accountant of Lessee Ltd. reviewed the analysis and the computation and prepared a separate analysis. As the finance controller, you were given both of the computations to determine the correct accounting treatment. Calculations and journal entries performed by your junior and senior accountant are below. Present Value of the Lease Obligation Using the rate implicit in the lease (10 percent), the present value of the guaranteed residual value would be $15,026 ($20,000 × 0.7513), and the present value of the annual payments would be $248,690 ($100,000 × 2.4869). Using the incremental borrowing rate (11 percent), the present value of the guaranteed residual value would be $14,624 ($20,000 × 0.7312), and the present value of the annual payments would be $244,370 ($100,000 × 2.4437). Computations by the…

    Branded by Alissa Quart

    Alissa Quart’s novel should have had a warning label on the front stating, “Would you like to know what’s really going on around you or just keep living your life.” While reading this novel I felt like I was being led by Morpheus, showing me the world after ingesting the red pill. Quart explaining the different pressures that society forces on young teens was very eye opening. Quart sparked a lot of childhood memories when explaining brand identification and the pressures peers put on each other. One memory that really sticks out is walking through the mall with my mom and buying clothes for the start of seventh grade. I insisted on only going to Abercrombie and telling her that I wasn’t shopping at Old Navy or Gap any more. Looking back made me realize how silly I was, but I understand why I felt this way. Quart explains how marketers bombarde magazines, commercials, billboards, etc with their advertisements. Back in seventh grade, Abercrombie was cool. Everyone wanted to be one of those sexy models in their ads. Quart did make me feel a little brainwashed; I didn’t choose the clothes because I liked them but only because advertisements told me too. So much of our daily lives has media exposure that its hard not to look, especially at young ages when your open to almost anything.…

    2. Increasing Mass media Advertising, allows Calyx Flowers to tap into the market share of the other leading Floral Companies like FTD which primarily does Mass Media Advertising to advertise its products . Since Calyx flowers ships flowers to the customer directly from the grower, the customer can be rest assured that the flowers shipped from the Calyx warehouse appear to be the same as the flowers displayed on Calyx’s website, unlike FTD which cannot guarantee the flowers delivered to the recipient are the same as they appear on the floral magazine, since orders through FTD are forwarded to different florists depending on the recipient’s location. This tactic of “predictability” would be attractive to FTD customers who would want to switch to Calyx Flowers.…
