Answer:

1. Understand difference in the reporting manner for Management Accountants and Financial Accountants.

2. Refer to Company policy documents and International Reporting Standards to clearly expose the difference.

3. Consult with other co-workers on who the information is intended and agree on whose opinion to base the reporting.

Explanation:

Management Accountants or CMA prepare Financial Statements for Management use and there are no Statotory or Strict guidelines on how these  statements are prepared.

Whilst Financial Accountants prepare Financial Statements for External reporting and have to abide by the Reporting Standards (either GAAP or IFRS).

So, they will be always be differences in the manner of reporting.

The solution is to understand the user of those statements that are being prepared and <em>take the opinion that meets those users needs</em>.

How does efficient frontier analysis (EFA) differ from other forms of complex risk assessment techniques? What limitations might
dsp73

Answer:

Check the following explanation

Explanation:

Efficient frontier analysis gives the highest level of expected return for any given level of risk and any combination of assets in the portfolio. It accesses the risk vs. return for an investment portfolio. The main difference in efficient frontier and other risk assessment techniques is that it gives the highest level of portfolio return at any given level of risk and the financial values of the individual assets are key to the analysis.

The problems faced by analyst while using efficient frontier analysis is misunderstanding of the nature of an efficient frontier model and the assumptions on which it relies. It is just like giving the powerful tool on the wrong hands. Efficient frontier models rely on historical data and relationships to generate the "perfect" portfolio. It treats investing as a science as only a few minimal alterations in the expected returns, standard deviations, and correlations of an asset portfolio will result in dramatically different asset allocation based on efficient frontier analysis. So we an investor cannot know in advance the exact levels for returns, correlations, and standard deviations as assumed by an efficient frontier model. Analyst need to put some constraint on asset portfolio to make it an effective model such as international assets not exceed 30 percent or 40 percent of the portfolio.

Before communicating the results of analysis the analyst should consider the goals of the decision makers and then logically design the communication. Making sure all participants understand by incorporating practically-obtainable information. A focus grid could be used to determine which content areas should be included, and which 8 might be omitted while delivering the results. Written reports, electronic communications and well-documented analytical models are important part of the plan. Slide presentations can be very effective.

Dividends paid on Gorky common stock                (800,000)

The following data represent the beginning inventory and, in order of occurrence, the purchases and sales of Delacour, Inc. for
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

$2040

Explanation:

FIFO under the perpetual inventory system is one in which the sale or purchase of inventory is immediately updated in the inventory account such that the true position of inventory available per time is known.

FIFO is first in first out which means that inventory purchased first are sold first.

Given;

                                     Units   Unit Cost   Total Cost        Units Sold

Beginning Inventory     30        $28             $ 840

Sale No. 1                                                                                   20

Purchase No. 1             50         $40             $2,000

Sale No. 2                                                                                  40

Purchase No. 2            20         $44              $880

Totals                           100                             $3,720               60

Cost of goods sold = $28 * 20 + $28 * 10 + $40 * 30

= $560 + $280 + $1200

= $2040

Quality Timber Pty Ltd is a well-established logging company. With below-average performance, their packaging department is cons
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Quality Timber Pty Ltd

In this scenario, the performance norms are _below-average____ and cohesiveness is _ high____, so productivity is _low___.

Explanation:

It has been established that group norms influence individual behavior and group performance.  Performance Norms refer to how a person should work in a given group and what his or her output should be.

Cohesion, according to wikipedia.com, "can be more specifically defined as the tendency for a group to be in unity while working towards a goal or to satisfy the emotional needs of its members."  Employees of the packaging department tend to be enjoying so much group cohesiveness.  But, they need to break some habits to focus on achieving corporate goals by increasing their productivity.

According to Paul Krugman of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, "Productivity is commonly defined as a ratio between the output volume and the volume of inputs.  In other words, it measures how efficiently production inputs, such as labour and capital, are being used in an economy to produce a given level of output."  A rough assessment of the packaging department employees' performance shows low productivity, as they are "consistently behind schedule and take long lunch breaks, and frequently chat with co-workers," instead of concentrating on their jobs.

If you put $700 in a savings account with a 10% nominal rate of interest compounded monthly, what will the investment be worth i
aksik [14]
<span>To find the compound interest of an investment you have to use this formula, A = P(1 + r/n)^nt, where A is the total amount you have after the investment period, P is the amount you invest or the amount you put in, r is the rate of the of the compound interest in this case 10%, n is the amount of time the interest will be compounded for example, 4 months a year(quarterly) or 6 months a year(semi annually), and t is the amount of time you invest in years. So in this case you are going to substitute everything in the formula with their given value. So P = $700, r = 10%, n = 21 (because it is the number of months we invest for), and t = 2 years (because 21 months fit perfectly in 2 years, and t must always be in years). The resulting formula will be A = $700(1 + 0.1/21)^(21 x 2), which will give you an answer of $855 rounded to the nearest dollar.</span>
