Case 3-1 Accrued revenue
The following is an excerpt from a conversation between Monte Trask and Jamie Palk just before they boarded a flight to Berlin on American Airlines. They are going to Berlin to attend their company’s annual sales conference. Monte: Jamie, aren’t you taking an introductory accounting course at college? Jamie: Yes, I decided it’s about time I learned something about accounting. You know, our annual bonuses are based on the sales figures that come from the accounting department. Monte: I guess I never really thought about it. Jamie: You should think about it! Last year, I placed a $900,000 order on December 27. But when I got my bonus, the $900,000 sale wasn’t included. They said it didn’t ship until January 5, so it would have to count in next year’s bonus. Monte: A real bummer! Jamie: Right! I was counting on that bonus, including the $900,000 sale. Monte: Did you complain?
Jamie: Yes, but it didn’t do any good. Sophia, the head accountant, said something about matching revenues and expenses. Also, something about not recording revenues until the sale is final. I figured I’d take the accounting course and find out whether she’s just jerking me around.
Monte: I never really thought about it. When do you think American Airlines will record its revenues from this flight?
Jamie: Hmmm, I guess it could record the revenue when it sells the ticket . . . or when the boarding passes are taken at the door . . . or when we get off the plane . . . or when our company pays for the tickets . . . or I don’t know. I’ll ask my accounting instructor.
Discuss when American Airlines should recognize the revenue from ticket sales to properly match revenues and expenses.

Environmental Issues Crucial to studying population, urbanization, and environmental issues is the use of big data.

/in , /by

Crucial to studying population, urbanization, and environmental issues is the use of big data. Big data is exactly what it sounds like, collecting a large amount of data for research analysis. For example, demography, the study of population, uses population data to calculate fertility rate, mortality rate, and COVID-19 infection rate. Demography is also useful in studying migration patterns or environmental racism by understanding which groups move in and out of different neighborhoods. For this discussion/activity, we will use The CalEnviroScreen dataset from the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) to uncover the connections between areas of concentrated pollution and the people who live in them. The OEHHA publishes pollution, human health indicators, and demographic data for every census tract in California. The research question we are trying to answer is “Which communities (race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, etc.) bear the pollution burden?”

The CalEnviroScreen map has census tracts outlined and color-coded by relative pollution burden. Each census tract contains the same number of people—smaller census tracts have a higher density of people in them. Please follow the instructions and record your response in the discussion.

Use the CalEnviroScreen 4.0Links to an external site. mapping tool
Choose one green, one red, and one orange or yellow census tract (a total of 3), and take a screenshot of each showing the map and the Overall Percentiles. The colors on the map indicate the level of pollution burden, green indicates lower pollution burden, and pollution burden increases as with yellow, orange, and red, respectively.
Examine the data from the 3 census tracts you chose, and answer the following questions:
What are the racial/ethnicity profiles of the green, red, and orange or yellow census tracts you selected?
What is the poverty percentile for each?
What connections can you make between race/ethnicity, poverty, and pollution burden?
What other information did you find interesting in comparing and contrasting the pollution burden between the 3 census tracts?
Reflect on what you have learned from this activity.
Provide at least one solution to how you can contribute to environmental change in your community.
Remember to engage in the discussion by responding to TWO posts from your peers thoughtfully.

Use the respective Xcel template while answering the following TWO questions:

/in , /by

Use the respective Xcel template while answering the following TWO questions:

Question 1. Finn Fixes is a new charity that repairs donated cars for use by unemployed job seekers. Finn collects the cars from area junkyards. The first year Finn is in operation, jobs programs bought cars from the organization for $60,000. They paid Finn $45,000 during the year and owe $15,000. Finn uses donated, unskilled labor and free garage space at a local high school. Its only cost is for parts. Total parts cost $58,000 for the year. During that first year Finn paid its parts suppliers $52,000. It owes its suppliers the balance.
What is the profit or loss to Finn Fixes on a cash basis?
What is the profit or loss to Finn Fixes on an accrual basis?
If Finn Fixes were to stop operating at the end of the first year but received payment from the jobs programs and paid its suppliers, what would its cash budget for the next year be?
How much cash would Finn Fixes have on hand at the end of the second year? How does that amount compare to its budgeted accrual basis profit or loss for the first year?
Which basis reflects the long-term stability of the organization?

Question 2. The executive director of Mutt Rescue (MR) animal shelter has asked you to prepare an annual budget for the coming fiscal year as well as a flexible budget based on a 5 percent increase in the number of dogs taken into MR’s shelter during the year. She has given you the following guidelines:
Number of dogs rescued and placed by MR: 800
Average length of stay for a dog in the shelter: 12 days
Daily cost of feeding one dog: $1.10
Number of veterinary visits per dog on average: 1.2
Cost per veterinary visit: $45
Cost of spay/neuter and transportation per dog rescued: $60
Cost of the kennel and related equipment: $400,000
Useful life of the kennel and related equipment: 20 years
MR uses straight-line depreciation
Salvage value of the kennel and related equipment: $0
MR has three full-time employees: an executive director who earns $40,000 per year, an evaluator/trainer who earns $30,000 per year, and a kennel manager who earns $25,000. Fringe benefits are equal to 25 percent of each employee’s annual salary.

MR expects to place all the dogs that it takes into the program by the last day of the fiscal year. It charges an adoption fee of $225 per dog. Experience has shown that 15 percent of the people elect to make an additional donation to MR at the time of adoption. Historically, these extra donations have averaged $175. In addition, MR has an active fundraising program and expects to raise $40,000 in donations during the fiscal year.

Social Theory by Karl Marx

Karl Marx discusses the struggle between the ruling class and the working class. The ruling class controls capital while the working class provide labour and are alienated. The theory explains capitalism today and the conflict between workers and employers (Karlsson & Månson, 2017).

Organic and Mechanical Solidarity theory by Durkheim. The theory explains the relationship of people in society. In small undifferentiated societies, there is a mechanical relationship. However, differentiated societies have an organic relationship with a complex division of labour. The theory explains the relationships between people in urban areas and rural areas (Karlsson & Månson, 2017).

Protestant Ethics by Weber argues that Protestants played a considerable role in spreading capitalism through the doctrine of predestination. The theory helps understand modern capitalism, which sees profit as the main objective (Karlsson & Månson, 2017).
