South British Company is a solar energy company located in the southern part of the United Kingdom. The company specializes in generating electricity, which is then sold to local towns and villages. Due to the global decrease in oil prices, the demand for solar energy is very limited and as a result there are very few companies worldwide that specialize in solar energy production. Recent technological advances have led South British Company to consider replacing its exiting solar panels with high-tech micro-wafer panels that produce five times the amount of electricity as the old panels. On January 1, 2015, South British Company decided to lease 2,500 of the new high-tech panels from EuroLease Company. The two companies decided that the lease term is 5 years with yearly lease payments of $1,291,326 starting on January 1, 2015 and then each December 31 thereafter. The details of the agreement indicate that the interest rate agreed upon by the two companies is 8%. Additional details suggest that the useful life of the solar panels is eight years with no residual value. Although, EuroLease had just recently purchased the solar panels for $8,500,000. On the date of signing the contract between the two companies, the directing manager of EuroLease told the representative from South British Company the following:
“It is interesting that you would want to lease these high-tech panels at this time. As you know these are specialized equipment that only a few companies worldwide can use. However, an American company called New York Solar leased the exact same panels today. Their lease term agreements are the same as yours. The only difference is that South British Company is located in the United Kingdom, while New York Solar is located in the United States.”
Required:
1. Discuss some of the challenges that face accountants worldwide when conducting international transactions.
2. Discuss the major difference GAAP and IFRS.
3. With respect to leasing the high-tech panels, describe the amount and nature of expense that South British Company and New York Solar will record for the year 2015.
4. If South British Company and New York Solar had the choice to select accounting standards to use for this lease transaction, which standards would provide the most benefit to each company? Your discussion should focus only on how choosing a set of standards would affect the leasing situation that is mentioned above.
Dissertation Pre-Proposal
This Dissertation Pre-Proposal will be used to develop and/or refine my Dissertation Committed. Please formulate an 8 page research paper addressing the following areas:
1. Research topic. Online education, innovation, and the challenge of change in Christian higher education: A study identifying financial factors which impact the decision to adopt, implement, and operate online education at Christian institutions of higher education.
2. Background of the study. What is the general problem of interest to you? In what settings does this problem occur, and whom does it affect? What did you find in the literature about the problem? What is already known? What are the current best explanations of the problem? What issues remain to be understood? How do you situate yourself with respect to this inquiry (positionality)?
3. What theoretical/conceptual framework is the study going to use to understand the problem?
4. A problem statement. A general issue, concern, controversy that narrows the topic. It is a rationale for the problem based on past research and practice.
5. A study purpose. The major objective or intent of the study used to address the problem.
6. Research questions narrow the purpose into specific questions that the researcher would like to address. Quantitative studies develop hypothesis (declarative statements in which a researcher makes a prediction about the outcome) and variables (independent & dependent). Qualitative studies should articulate a clear phenomenon of interest/central phenomenon.
7. Research methodology. A plan of action or design lying behind the choice of particular methods. Describe the proposed sampling procedure, and the research design and procedures (What are your data sources? How will your data allow you to answer your research questions?)
These elements will serve as a basis to develop a dissertation pre-proposal (8 pages) that you will share with your potential chairperson. Please be sure this proposal is at least 8 pages (not even one paragraph less; and completed in APA 6th Edition Format.
