Assume that your company sells portable housing to both general contractors and the government. It sells jobs to contractors on a bid basis. A contractor asks for three bids from different manufacturers. The combination of low bid and high quality wins the job. However, jobs sold to the government are bid on a cost-plus basis. This means the price is determined by adding all costs plus a profit based on cost at a specified percent, such as 10%. You observe that the amount of overhead applied to government jobs is higher than that applied to contract jobs. These allocations concern you. Point: Students could compare responses and discuss differences in concerns with allocating overhead.\u00a0
Required
Write a half-page memo to your company\u2019s chief financial officer outlining your concerns with overhead allocation. <\/p>\n
(300 WORDS, 1 REQUIRED SOURCE FOR THIS PART)Many accounting and accounting-related professionals are skilled in financial analysis, but most are not skilled in manufacturing. This is especially the case for process manufacturing environments (for example, a bottling plant or chemical factory). To provide professional accounting and financial \u00adservices, one must understand the industry, product, and processes. We have an ethical responsibility to develop this understanding before offering services to clients in these areas. <\/p>\n
Required
Write a one-page action plan, in memorandum format, discussing how you would obtain an understanding of key business processes of a company that hires you to provide financial services. The memorandum should specify an industry, a product, and one selected process and should draw on at least one reference, such as a professional journal or industry magazine. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
