Peer Responds

/in /by

There is not a minimum or maximum of words, however, your posts must exhibit a well thought out scholarly posts and responses. You are also to “avoid quoting” material, as that will not help you articulate and synthesize the material. The purpose of your peer review is to not scrutinize your peers’ writing (e.g., spelling errors, etc.), but to comment on what you found informative (be specific) and offer further knowledge you gained (e.g., additional interventions, ways of coding and justifying a diagnosis, etc.). Note: comments like, “I agree with you,” “good presentation … learned a lot,” or “That’s a good idea” does not reflect critical thought and are not scholarly. By providing critical thought you will prevent your grade from being reduced.

Students are required to respond by posting their scholarly responses a minimum of two times during the week. One of your two posts (hopefully you posted more than two 🙂 ) needs to be based on your review of another teams’ or individual’s case study post. The other post can be replying – as long as it meets the standards of the assignment/rubric—to a peer’s response to your own case study

1.You are to come up with one initial post.

Intermediate acct

/in /by

You have joined Member Company as an accounting manager. You were reviewing the financial statements to get yourself familiar with the company. While conducting the review, you had some concerns about their pension assets.

Member Company had pension assets of $14 million and vested pension obligation of $12 million, but the projected benefit obligation was about $16 million. The pension assets were underfunded because the obligations were $16 million compared to the assets of $14 million.

You approached the controller Bill Jensen and said to him, “Bill, while reviewing the financial statements, I noticed that we have a problem with the pension assets being underfunded by $2 million. We have pension assets worth $14 million compared to our outstanding obligations of $16 million. We need to clean that up and put some more funds in the pension assets.”

Bill looked unconcerned. He replied, “I noticed that. No problem! Why don’t we fire the employees who are not vested because the vested pension obligation is $12 million compared to the pension assets of $14 million? What do you think?”

  • How should you respond?
