Statistics

Statistics
You’ve just been hired onto ABC Company as the corporate controller. ABC Company is a manufacturing firm that specializes in making cedar roofing and siding shingles. The company currently has annual sales of around $1.2 million, a 25% increase from the previous year. The company has an aggressive growth target of reaching $3 million annual sales within the next 3 years. The CEO has been trying to find additional products that can leverage the current ABC employee skillset as well as the manufacturing facilities.

As the controller of ABC Company, the CEO has come to you with a new opportunity that he’s been working on. The CEO would like to use the some of the shingle scrap materials to build cedar dollhouses. While this new product line would add additional raw materials and be more time-intensive to manufacture than the cedar shingles, this new product line will be able to leverage ABC’s existing manufacturing facilities as well as the current staff. Although this product line will require added expenses, it will provide additional revenue and gross profit to help reach the growth targets. The CEO is relying on you to help decide how this project can be afforded Provide details about the estimated product costs, what is needed to break even on the project, and what level of return this product is expected to provide.

In order to help out the CEO, prepare a six- to eight-page report that will contain the following information (including exhibits, but excluding your references and title page). Refer to the accompanying Excel spreadsheet (available through your online course) for some specific cost and profit information to complete the calculations.

I. An overall risk profile of the company based on current economic and industry issues that it may be facing.

II. Current company cash flow

a. You need to complete a cash flow statement for the company using the direct method.
b. Once you’ve completed the cash flow statement, answer the following questions:

 

i. What does this statement of cash flow tell you about the sources and uses of the company?
ii. Is there anything ABC Company can do to improve the cash flow?
iii. Can this project be financed with current cash flow from the company? Why or why not?
iv. If the company needs additional financing beyond what ABC Company can provide internally (either now or sometime throughout the life of the project), how would you suggest the company obtain the additional financing, equity or corporate debt, and why?
III. Product cost: ABC Company believes that it has an additional 5,000 machine hours available in the current facility before it would need to expand. ABC Company uses machine hours to allocate the fixed factory overhead, and units sold to allocate the fixed sales expenses. ABC Company expects that it will take twice as long to produce the expansion product as it currently takes to produce its existing product.

a. What is the product cost for the expansion product?
b. By adding this new expansion product, it helps to absorb the fixed factory and sales expenses. How much cheaper does this expansion make the existing product?
c. Assuming ABC Company wants a 40% gross margin for the new product, what selling price should it set for the expansion product?
d. Assuming the same sales mix of these two products, what are the contribution margins and break-even points by product?

IV. Potential investments to accelerate profit: ABC company has the option to purchase additional equipment that will cost about $42,000, and this new equipment will produce the following savings in factory overhead costs over the next five years:

Year 1, $15,000
Year 2, $13,000
Year 3, $10,000
Year 4, $10,000
Year 5, $6,000

ABC Company uses the net-present-value method to analyze investments and desires a minimum rate of return of 12% on the equipment.

a. What is the net present value of the proposed investment ignore income taxes and depreciation?
b. Assuming a 5-year straight-line depreciation, how will this impact the factory’s fixed costs for each of the 5 years (and the implied product costs)? What about cash flow?
c. Considering the cash flow impact of the equipment as well as the time-value of money, would you recommend that ABC Company purchases the equipment? Why or why not?

V. Conclusion:

a. What are the major risk factors that you see in this project?
b. As the controller and a management accountant, what is your responsibility to this project?
c. What do you recommend the CEO do?

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS/MARKETING INVESTIGATIONS

PROJECT BRIEFING
This project requires you to develop a proposal for a piece of primary research which examines some aspect of the debate between two schools of thought, Global Convergence and Global Divergence. The project is in two parts and both parts carry equal weighting.
Part 1: Theoretical Foundations
You are required to develop an annotated bibliography of 10 journal articles which you believe have made an important contribution to the debate around Global Convergence and Global Divergence. The annotated bibliography needs to explain:
• Why you believe each article is important;
• The philosophical underpinning and methodological approach taken in each article;
• The main findings and key conclusions of the article;
• The overall character of the bibliography as a whole in terms of philosophical underpinnings, methodologies, findings and how representative it is of the debate between Global Convergence and Global Divergence as a whole.
Part 2: Primary Research Proposal
You are required to write a proposal for a piece of primary research which would contribute to the debate between the Global Convergence and Global Divergence schools of thought. The proposal should be consistent with the typical expectations for primary research placed on an MSc student. The proposal should contain:
• A clearly stated research question which is derived from an element of the literature in the annotated bibliography in Part 1 of the project;
• A discussion of the different ways in which this research question could be answered with a consideration of the strengths and weaknesses of each approach;
• A clear explanation of the proposed methodological approach, its weaknesses and the implications of those weaknesses for any results that may come out of it;
• An explanation of the rationale for this approach and why it was chosen.

Thematic Approach to Learning

Introduction

Each day, a teacher enters the classroom and looks at all the different requirements that must be met before the day or year’s end. In the elementary school setting, the variety of curricula that must be presented to the students can seem daunting. “Being able to ‘do it all’ can be an insurmountable task even for veteran teachers” (R. Martin, Sexton, Franklin, & Gerlovich, 2005, p. 260). Tying curriculum requirements to a specific theme is a useful tool in helping students grasp the scientific concepts. D. J. Martin (2006)suggests that “science without language is like a ship without a compass” (p.385).

The idea that curriculums must work together for effective student learning leads toward the concept of related themes. That is, that high quality content is dependent upon a variety of curriculum pieces working together. Science is a natural catalyst that allows students to combine their writing, reading, technology, and math skills into a cohesive learning experience.

Thematic Instruction

Thematic instruction is sometimes referred to as integrated instruction. Looking at each standard that an elementary teacher is expected to cover within one school year can be very overwhelming. Applying the required standards collectively is the idea of integrated instruction that places the “cognitive skills such as reading, mathematics, science, and writing in the context of a real-world subject that is both specific enough to be practical, and broad enough to allow creative exploration” (D. J. Martin et al., 2005, p. 261).

By carefully reviewing the standards that are made available for each grade level, classroom teachers can begin to see opportunities for similarities in the way they might support some real-world ideas. They might be in the area of environmental concerns, family living requirements, identification of different objects within various biomes, etc. To prepare for the integration, teachers must look into each discipline to determine the particular standards or benchmarks that are required for their specific grade levels.

Step-by-Step Process

An old Chinese proverb states: A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. This is also true when venturing into the area of thematic unit development. Teachers new to the process must proceed slowly and begin with a key concept in mind. The initial unit, for example, might only combine reading and science, where the students refer to a literature book about a small ant when they are studying insects. This will allow the teacher to use the literature books as resources for great pictures and perhaps, if the unit is written carefully, some facts about insects can be added to the students’ knowledge base. In other cases, it might be advisable to look at a particular question that needs to be answered as the centerpiece that supports all the other program or discipline areas.

In the lesson, the teacher writes both the objective (tied to the required benchmark) for science understanding and also includes the literature objective (created from the benchmark) that supports one or more of the reading requirements for this grade level. As the instructor adds other curriculum areas to the lesson, they also continue to build the number of benchmarks that the activity will support. Before long, the creation has grown to include four or five different disciplines, with at least the same number of required standards in one thematic unit of study.

The concept of a thematic unit means that it might include a number of individual lesson plans to complete the entire process. This allows for an even larger and more inclusive unit that can easily share a variety of accomplishments through careful assessment throughout the unit of study. Evaluation is an important piece, as it will help to validate the effectiveness of the unit for those who question the specific knowledge students will acquire.

Confirming Research

It is important to note that curriculum integration in the form of thematic units has proven to be an effective way to support student learning. As reported in Carin, Bass, and Contant (2005), relevant research studies suggest the following:

· Integrated learning activities are more appealing because they require fewer scheduling changes and can be done by one teacher (Kober, 1993).

· Science and the other included subjects are learned more effectively (Koballa & Bethel, 1985).

· The integration of science with other disciplines has potential for improving both the quantity and quality of science instruction and learning (Pappas, Kiefer, & Levstik, 1990).

Conclusion

Weaving science into other areas of the curriculum is not only natural, but has proven to be an effective pedagogical tool. It is important to first understand the requirements of the various benchmarks that each teacher and grade level must meet on a yearly basis. Once the benchmarks are thoroughly understood, teachers can move toward integration of these required areas of study through slow, significant, and deliberate steps. As positive evaluations confirm a growing understanding by each student, teachers will have renewed energy to create more thematic units during each and every year to come.
