Accounting Project
A retail company begins operations late in 2000 by purchasing $600,000 of merchandise. There are no sales in 2000. During 2001 additional merchandise of $3,000,000 is purchased. Operating expenses (excluding management bonuses) $400,000, and sales are $6,000,000. The management compensation agreement provides for incentive bonuses totaling 1% of after-tax income (before bonuses). Taxes are 25%, and accounting a taxable income will be the same.
The company is undecided about the selection of LIFO or FIFO inventory methods. For the year ending inventory would be $700,000 and $1,000,000 respectively under LIFO and FIFO. Required: 1) How are financial statements used to monitor the performances of corporate executives? 2) Determine FIFO bonus amount? 3) Determine LIFO bonus amount? 4) Which one would increase the firms value and why? 5) Why is the bonus pay-plan counter-productive in this assignment? 6) Devise an alternative bonus system to avoid the problem in the existing plan? |
