Your Role

This week, you’ll assume the role of Senior Accountant with SunsTruck Sunglasses.

WHAT IS A SENIOR ACCOUNTANT?

Senior accountants take ownership of reporting costs, profitability, margins and expenditures for a given business. They use the principles of accounting to analyze sales information, create financial reports, make recommendations about the financial health of the company, and more. They are also responsible for training junior accounting staff.

For the last six months, SunsTruck has partnered with the discount retail store to run a pop-up sunglasses stand in their stores for a big summer promotion. Due to high customer purchase rate, the store has requested stock for five additional stores. SunsTruck needs to increase its production to meet the additional demand. In order to increase production, SunsTruck needs additional money.

In this assignment, you will need to help determine which type of financing option is best for your company and train your company junior accountants on the accounting cycle and financial statements.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Financing

The junior accounting team has assembled a Financing Report that (a) offers three options for securing the additional funds required to meet the new order; and (b) details the criteria Shaun, the owner of SunsTruck, would like you to consider when choosing one of the three options. Based on this report:

• Identify which financing option you think is the best option for SunsTruck to pursue given Shaun’s constraints. Write 2-5 sentences explaining the rationale for your decision.

Note: You should complete Steps 2 & 3 after reading the material in Week 5.

Step 2: Accounting Cycle

A junior accountant is working to get everything in order for the new financing and has come to you with a question about what do next in the accounting cycle.

• Read the email the junior accountant sent you and identify the best next step to take in the accounting cycle. Write 1-3 sentences explaining your reasoning.

Step 3: Financial Statements

A potential investor has been identified, but before it is willing to commit, it has requested information about SunsTruck’s current debt from the junior accountants.

• Identify the correct financial statement for your junior accountants that will provide the investor with the information it has requested. Write 1-3 sentences to explain to your junior accountants why you are giving them this financial statement and where the debt information is located.

Create an outline for the assignment below

You have been appointed to be a part of a special committee that is responsible for devising policy procedures and a budget for the organization’s earthquake preparedness. The last earthquake in 2003 exposed areas of weakness within the organization, regarding the need for emergency equipment and supplies. You and your committee will need to draft a proposal that will address what earthquake emergency equipment and supplies will be required, as well as a budget that will show how much the items and overall expenses will cost to maintain and replace expired items. 

The budget needs to include how many staff members will be needed to operate the emergency preparedness department. You should begin your proposal by identifying the population size being served by your public administration organization and by identifying any other factors about the population being served that are relevant to your overall proposal. Examples of other factors could be matters related to geography, the needs of a particular sub population, or regional weather patterns.

Secondly, the committee will need to propose an earthquake policy to address the proper protocols if and when an earthquake should occur. The policy needs to stipulate what emergency procedures need to be followed. The policy should include the frequency of earthquake drills by all personnel and who is responsible for stocking the earthquake supplies and maintaining the emergency preparedness budget. 

Finally, the committee needs to include a rationale in the proposal for what challenges the organization may face in implementing and maintaining the operations of the emergency earthquake preparedness.
