Setting up a Financial Statement, Accounting homework help

/in /by

As a nonaccounting manager, you will examine your company’s financial statements as well as the financial statements of other companies. You must be able to recognize differences in these statements and have a general understanding of the various accounts listed on each statement.

In this assignment, you will determine the nature of various financial statement accounts, using the example of Compnet International.

Note: You will apply your learning from this assignment to calculate ratios for Compnet in the discussion for this week.

Tasks:

Consider the following scenario for this assignment: You are a manager at Compnet and your CEO has asked you to break down the financial statements into categories of accounts so that you can analyze trends within the company.

Part I: Computations

Select the links that follow to download and review the financial statements of Compnet International:

As you create the new Excel worksheet, use the prepared financial statements of Compnet.

Complete the following:

  • Create a horizontal trend analysis of the reported Compnet financial statements. This worksheet should list each financial statement (balance sheet and income statement in this order) on two Excel worksheets (one worksheet file).
  • In column A, you would list each account on the statement (make sure you show the various categories of accounts).
  • In column B and following, you would present the annual totals of each account with a monetary difference (absolute) column to compare one year to the next year and a percentage difference column.
  • Therefore, for each of the two years reported, you will have Y1, Y2, Difference, and Percentage Difference columns. Your trend analysis must include three historical years. Therefore you need to compare Y1 to Y2 and then Y2 to Y3 (fiscal years 2012–2014).

Part II: Summary

After completing the computations on each of the three financial statements, provide a 1-page summary of the trends that you have observed. Describe the material trends by the category of accounts. Did that category of account increase, decrease, and if so by what amount and percentage. Remember to only discuss the major or material trends that you have observed.

Submission Details:

Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Submit both parts 1 and 2 together and be sure to clearly label each part.

Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A1.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M2_A1.doc.

By Week 2, Day 3, deliver your assignment to the M2: Assignment 1 Dropbox.

HIV Prevention Plan

/in /by

You will be creating an HIV prevention plan. This plan will focus on
how to reduce new HIV infections among heterosexuals, homosexuals, IV
drug users, infants/children, or adolescents in a culture of your choice.

How you go about this is up to you, but it is important to use the
research when formulating your plan. Any variables you select should
be backed up by research.

In 1,000-1,500 words, do the following:

  1. Choose a culture. Gain approval for the culture with your
    instructor before you begin this assignment.
  2. Describe the
    characteristics of the culture for which you are planning a
    prevention program. What is their background? Historically do they
    have a positive or a negative relationship with health
    care/prevention? Why is it important to implement a prevention
    program for this culture? Why do you think this is an important
    culture to apply a prevention program to (risk factors/current rates
    of HIV)?
  3. Describe several facets of your plan. What
    variables (e.g., education) will you choose to focus on and why
    (make sure your why connects directly to the background of your
    culture)? You should use research to support the variables chosen
    for your plan.
  4. Using research and psychological principles
    to support your plan, discuss how you would make this plan
    successful in your chosen culture. Include information on how you
    would positively affect variables to promote success. Discuss how
    you would implement such a plan logistically (Who specifically would
    you target for your plan and why? Where your plan would be based?
    How would your plan be different from those that are currently out
    there? Do you anticipate any obstacles? How do you plan to overcome
    them?).

Your plan should be written in paragraph form (not in bullet
points), but an “introduction” and “conclusion”
are not necessary.

You should use four to six outside peer-reviewed journal articles to
formulate your response. These should be cited in-text as well as in
your References section.
