Concepts for Analysis CA16-4
CA16-4 (Stock Compensation Plans) The following two items appeared on the Internet concerning the passage of SFAS No. 123(R).

WASHINGTON, D.C.—February 17, 2005 Congressman David Dreier (R–CA), Chairman of the House Rules Committee, and Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (D–CA) reintroduced legislation today that will preserve broad-based employee stock option plans and give investors critical information they need to understand how employee stock options impact the value of their shares.

“Last year, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted for legislation that would have ensured the continued ability of innovative companies to offer stock options to rank-and-file employees,” Dreier stated. “Both the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continue to ignore our calls to address legitimate concerns about the impact of FASB’s new standard on workers’ ability to have an ownership stake in the New Economy, and its failure to address the real need of shareholders: accurate and meaningful information about a company’s use of stock options.”

“In December 2004, FASB issued a stock option expensing standard that will render a huge blow to the 21st century economy,” Dreier said. “Their action and the SEC’s apparent lack of concern for protecting shareholders, requires us to once again take a firm stand on the side of investors and economic growth. Giving investors the ability to understand how stock options impact the value of their shares is critical. And equally important is preserving the ability of companies to use this innovative tool to attract talented employees.”

“Here We Go Again!” by Jack Ciesielski (2/21/2005, http://www.accountingobserver.com/blog/2005/02/herewe- go-again) On February 17, Congressman David Dreier (R–CA), and Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (D–CA), officially entered Silicon Valley’s bid to gum up the launch of honest reporting of stock option compensation: They co-sponsored a bill to “preserve broad-based employee stock option plans and give investors critical information they need to understand how employee stock options impact the value of their shares.” You know what “critical information” they mean: stuff like the stock compensation for the top five officers in a company, with a rigged value set as close to zero as possible. Investors crave this kind of information. Other ways the good Congresspersons want to “help” investors: The bill “also requires the SEC to study the effectiveness of those disclosures over three years, during which time, no new accounting standard related to the treatment of stock options could be recognized. Finally, the bill requires the Secretary of Commerce to conduct a study and report to Congress on the impact of broad-based employee stock option plans on expanding employee corporate ownership, skilled worker recruitment and retention, research and innovation, economic growth, and international competitiveness.”

It’s the old “four corners” basketball strategy: stall, stall, stall. In the meantime, hope for regime change at your opponent, the FASB.

Instructions

(a) What are the major recommendations of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”?

(b) How do the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) differ from the bill introduced by members of Congress (Dreier and Eshoo), which would require expensing for options issued to only the top five officers in a company? Which approach do you think would result in more useful information? (Focus on comparability.)

(c) The bill in Congress urges the FASB to develop a rule that preserves “the ability of companies to use this innovative tool to attract talented employees.” Write a response to these Congress-people explaining the importance of neutrality in financial accounting and reporting.

Ethical Issue 12-1 Stan Sewell paid $50,000 for a franchise that entitled him- ANSWER KEY


Ethical Issue 12-1

Note: This case is based on an actual situation.

Stan Sewell paid $50,000 for a franchise that entitled him to market software programs in the countries of the European Union. Sewell intended to sell individual franchises for the major language groups of Western Europe—German, French, English, Spanish, and Italian. Naturally, investors considering buying a franchise from Sewell asked to see the financial statements of his business.
Believing the value of the franchise to be $500,000, Sewell sought to capitalize his own franchise at $500,000. The law firm of St. Charles & LaDue helped Sewell form a corporation chartered to issue 500,000 shares of common stock with par value of $1 per share. Attorneys suggested the following chain of transactions:
a. Sewell's cousin, Bob, borrows $500,000 from a bank and purchases the franchise from Sewell.
b. Sewell pays the corporation $500,000 to acquire all its stock.
c. The corporation buys the franchise from Cousin Bob.
d. Cousin Bob repays the $500,000 loan to the bank.
In the final analysis, Cousin Bob is debt-free and out of the picture. Sewell owns all the corporation's stock, and the corporation owns the franchise. The corporation's balance sheet lists a franchise acquired at a cost of $500,000. This balance sheet is Sewell's most valuable marketing tool.

Fraud Case 14-1 Frank Lou had recently been promoted to construction manager- ANSWER KEY

ACC 206 Week 2

The Statement of Cash Flows

From Chapter 14, Fraud Case 14-1. Complete all parts of the case.

Frank Lou had recently been promoted to construction manager at a development firm. He was responsible for dealing with contractors who were bidding on a multi-million dollar excavation job for the new high-rise. Times were tough, several contractors had gone under recently, and the ones left standing were viciously competitive. That morning, four bids were sitting on Frank’s desk. The deadline was midnight, and the bids would be opened the next morning. The first bidder, Bo Freely, was a tough but personable character that Frank had known for years. Frank had lunch with him today, and after a few beers, Bo hinted that if Frank "inadvertently" mentioned the amount of the lowest bid, he'd receive a "birthday card" with a gift of cash.

Appendix D: Tax Return problem 2

Entity Tax Case


The Rite-Way Plumbing Co. began business March 1, 2007 in Sarasota. Its business address is 124 Division Lane, Sarasota, FL 33645. Its employer identification number is 69-3456789. Its principal business activity is plumbing installation and repair and its business code number is 238220. It files its income tax returns on the calendar-year basis.

The business was formed as a limited partnership by two brothers, John Henry (SSN 555-55-5555) and James Henry (SSN 666-66-6666), who work full-time in the business, and their father Tom Henry (SSN 888-88-8888), the limited partner. The brothers each have a 25% interest in the income, loss, and capital of the business while their father owns a 50% interest in income, loss, and capital, but takes no active interest in the business other than as that of an investor.

At the end of 2010, its operations showed cash gross receipts of $1,240,000 and the following cash expenditure items:

Salaries and wages (excluding John and James) $378,000
Repairs and Maintenance 2,000
Rent 28,000
Taxes and Licenses 38,000
Advertising 3,000
Pension Plans (excluding John and James) 15,000

Office Expenses 6,000
Utilities/Telephone 8,000
Meals/Entertainment 4,000
Draw John 75,000
Draw James 60,000
Total Cash Expenditures $966,000

John and James each receive a guaranteed payment of $75,000 in addition to the payment of their health and dental insurance premiums, which were $3,000 each. The other insurance payments include the $1,500 premiums for $200,000 term life insurance policies each on John and James that name the partnership as beneficiary.

Although the company maintains a certain level of plumbing supplies for its business inventory is not a material income producing factor; thus, material purchases are expenses. The partnership uses the cash method of accounting for revenue and expenses.

The company purchased the following items for use solely in the business during 2010: a new truck (weighing over 6,000 pounds) bought on June 21 that cost $21,250; a new computer system bought on August 17 costing $3,200; additional new office furniture bought on December 4 costing $2,500.

At the beginning of 2010, the company owned the following items that were all purchased the month the company began business. In that year, the company did not elect bonus depreciation or Section 179 expensing for any of its truck, equipment, or furniture purchases:

Asset Cost basis
Trucks $78,000
Plumbing equipment (7 year property) 23,000
Office furniture 16,000
Computer system 4,000

On March 12, 2010, it sold one of its old trucks for $6,000 that had originally cost $17,000. It also was able to sell its old computer system on September 12, 2010 for $250. It donated two pieces of its old office furniture to Goodwill Industries. This furniture had cost $1,500 and had a current value of $600.
