  • Little's Law, a Fundamental Tool to Define Supply Chain Metrics
    Little’s Law, a fundamental tool to define supply chain metrics Sangdo (Sam) Choi Harry F. Byrd, Jr. School of Business, Shenandoah University, Winchester, VA 22601, USA [email protected] Abstract We review Little's Law to define inventory turnover and other asset-turnovers. We relate Little's Law with EOQ model and turnovers. We suggest a new definition of cash-to-cash cycle for manufacturers, because the current one is for retailers. We analyze several industries using an earns-turns matrix based on Little's Law. Keyword: Little’s Law · Inventory Turnover · Earns-Turns Matrix IS INVENTORY AN ASSET OR LIABILITY? Supply chain professionals regard inventory as liability, whereas it appears as an asset on a financial statement, balance sheet. Inventory investments are substantial in a balance sheet, 10 ~ 30% of total investments for manufacturers, 25 ~ 40% for retailers. As a new technology or product penetrates in the market, the value of inventory decreases. Invested funds in inventories are tied up until sales occur. Physical spaces are required to keep inventories and information systems are used to keep track of inventory records. Funds tied up with inventories are hidden cash or reserves that, if managed efficiently, can be utilized to finance the current and future expansion of the business. The cash used to finance the account receivable and inventories should be freed as soon as possible and in amount as much as possible, so that the available cash can be invested in other more profitable avenues and thereby gain and hold a competitive edge over other players in supply chains (Attari and Raza 2012).

  • Goodwill Impairment Used for Earnings Management
    Goodwill Impairment Used For Earnings Management Student name: Navdeep Mander Student number: 6063829 Date of final version: 17-08-2015 Word count: 18,284 MSc Accountancy & Control, variant Accountancy Amsterdam Business School Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Amsterdam Supervisor: dhr. drs. J.J.F. van Raak Statement of Originality This document is written by student Navdeep Mander who declares to take full responsibility for the contents of this document. I declare that the text and the work presented in this document is original and that no sources other than those mentioned in the text and its references have been used in creating it. The Faculty of Economics and Business is responsible solely for the supervision of completion of the work, not for the contents. 2 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether goodwill impairments are used as a tool for earnings management when earnings are unexpectedly high or low. This thesis will particularly examine U.S. companies after the issuance of standard SFAS 142 and the time period examined is from 2005-2014. Based on a sample of 3059 firm-year observations I have found a positive relation between goodwill impairment and earnings management. I will specifically examine whether managers use big bath accounting or income smoothing through the use of goodwill impairment. This study contributes to existing literature from Van de Poel et al. (2008) and Francis et al. (1996) as there is evidence that earnings are managed when earnings are either unexpectedly low in the recession period from 2007-2009. I also contribute to the existing literature by looking at whether a new CEO with a maximum tenure of three year in a firm with unexpectedly low earnings uses bath accounting by impairing goodwill.

    Solutions to Problems P2-1. LG 1: Reviewing basic financial statements Basic Income statement: In this one-year summary of the firm’s operations, Technica, Inc. showed a net profit for 2009 and the ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders. Balance sheet: The financial condition of Technica, Inc. at December 31, 2008 and 2009 is shown as a summary of assets and liabilities. Technica, Inc. has an excess of current assets over current liabilities, demonstrating liquidity. The firm’s fixed assets represent over one-half of total assets ($270,000 of $408,300). The firm is financed by short-term debt, long-term debt, common stock, and retained earnings. It appears that it repurchased 500 shares of common stock in 2009.

The results show that the firms adopted a moderate–conservative strategy for their working capital management. Moreover, the evidence confirms that the COVID-19 pandemic crisis did not change Working Capital Management (WCM) strategies significantly. The companies that have high financial security as a result of the high ratio of Liquidity, Quick, and cash conversion cycle (CCC) have tried to attract more new customers in the market by increasing the due date of accounts receivable so they can improve their sales performance, and also reduce the liabilities turnover to be able to work with more suppliers in the market. Moreover, among the various WCM strategies, the companies with a higher CCC ratio, along with those whose bulk of current assets consisted of accounts receivable and short-term investments, managed to have higher Citation: Zimon, Grzegorz, and sales returns. Finally, our outcomes indicate that the firms operating in large cities have lower sales Hossein Tarighi. 2021.
