Description for case is given below :
In June 2015, a new analyst at an investment fund company had to review the financial performance of a potential investment target, the North West Company Inc. (NWC), and make a recommendation. NWC was a food retailer operating in underserved markets. The company operated retail locations in Western and Northern Canada, Alaska, the South Pacific, and the Caribbean, reporting total sales of CA$1.6 billion in 2014. Twelve years after NWC’s initial push outside of Canada, international sales accounted for 35.8 per cent of the company’s business. Whereas rivalry among competitors and consumer choice defined the mainstream Canadian market, food retail in Northern Canadian markets was characterized by limited offerings, high prices, and few competitors.The analyst’s report needed to include an assessment of NWC’s profitability, liquidity, and financial structure. The analyst was particularly interested in NWC’s international operations; although international expansion carried with it the potential for significant revenue growth, she wondered whether the profit potential was as great as that of NWC’s operations in Northern and Western Canada. She also knew that if NWC did choose to expand its international operations, it would require significant capital investment. Was NWC a good investment opportunity?

On January 17, 2015, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) released service cost estimates to all municipalities under its new municipal billing model. The new billing model, according to the recommendations of the auditor general, was designed to provide a more consistent, transparent, and accurate reflection of municipal servicing costs. Several mayors were not entirely sold on the new model and had their own opinion on how each municipality should be billed. Municipal officials needed consistent year-to-year service costs to accurately forecast their annual budgets. The OPP had to demonstrate the merit of the new billing model to ensure its adoption by all municipalities.

In August 2015, an intern at Asante Teaching Hospital, a prestigious not-for-profit hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, wanted to organize the cost data she had gathered from staff interviews into clear recommendations for the hospital’s chief executive officer. Asante Teaching Hospital’s maternity ward competitors had begun offering bundled pricing for natural births, and the intern wondered if Asante Teaching Hospital should do the same. In order to calculate the costs of the service, she planned to employ both activity-based and time-driven activity-based costing techniques. With this information, she could present the results of her analysis and recommendations for a pricing strategy.

Description for case is given below :
On November 25, 2012, the head of Revenue Recognition at ESol Limited (ESol) India was preparing for a meeting with the company’s sales team at the head office in Bangalore. ESol Limited was a large, U.S.-based multinational information technology corporation, which had moved into India in 2000. Since then, its management had insisted on the need for close monitoring of accounting procedures in strict adherence to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Although the sales team had negotiated the Request for Proposal with MoveForward, a large research firm in India handling and processing high volumes of sensitive data, in good faith, the revenue recognition team felt that clauses dealing with penalties, liquidated damages and termination put their company at risk and wished to defer all of the revenue proposed for the contract until these issues were resolved. The friction between the two teams put the entire deal in jeopardy.

Case Length :    17 pages

Description for case is given below :
Penn West Petroleum Ltd. (Penn West), a large Canadian oil company, made multiple acquisitions that led to a buildup of goodwill (i.e., the purchase price was higher than the net book value of the acquisitions). When the economic environment worsened, there was concern that this goodwill had been impaired. The concern deepened as economic factors improved but Penn West’s stock performance continued to be poor, indicating that the market believed that the company was potentially overvalued. A review of Penn West’s accounting practices revealed irregularities, and industry analysts – as well as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission – began to question the value of the company’s goodwill. It was becoming clear that Penn West had been overly optimistic in its forecasts regarding revenue streams from its properties. Would the company be able to move forward? How?

Plagiarism : NO (100% Original work)
Description for case is given below :
A well-reputed innovative technology company had introduced a new operating system and two new smartphone devices with the goal of turning around the company’s slumping hardware sales. Despite positive product reviews in the media, the models did not sell as well as expected. Consequently, the lower demand led to impairment of inventory and supply commitments at various times throughout the following fiscal year. At the end of the fiscal year, the task facing the company’s chief financial officer was deciding whether or not further impairment was required. Because this decision came at a time of significant uncertainty about the company’s future in the competitive marketplace, the task also involved considering the impact of a potential adjustment on the company’s financial statements and on shareholder confidence.

Case Solution for Olam: Accounting for Biological Assets

Source :              Ivey Publishing
Case ID :           9B15A042 / W15369
Discipline :        Accounting
Case Length :    14 pages
Plagiarism : NO (100% Original work)
Description for case is given below :
In 2012, an equity research firm based in California accused Singapore-based Olam International Limited (Olam) of engaging in potentially misleading and dangerous accounting practices. The firm – Muddy Waters Research – further stated that Olam was on the verge of bankruptcy. The primary complaint made against Olam by Muddy Waters was that Olam allegedly made aggressive use of “non-cash accounting gains,” particularly when reporting on Olam’s biological assets. Olam’s share price tumbled after the accusations were made public. Olam defended itself by asserting that it had applied Singapore Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 41 – Agriculture appropriately and that the fair value gains of the biological assets were justifiably derived. FRS 41, equivalent to International Financial Accounting Standards 41 – Agriculture, required Singapore-listed companies to use fair value in the measurement of biological assets. This case examines the complex challenges that valuators face when presented with different valuation models, the application of financial reporting standards and the fine balance between reliability and relevance in the accounting of assets in the real world.
