TASK:
You have been hired to provide a profitability analysis for each quarter during the fiscal year 2009. Keep in mind that revenues have already been projected for 2009 (Exhibit 2). Your task is to come up with projected exenses (there are 10 expenses: salaries and wages; aircraft fuel; aircraft rentals, airport fees; aircraft maintenance; depreciation; distribution costs; passenger services; regional capacity purchases and other) so that you can compute projected profits
(Revenues – Expenses = Profit). Additionally, compute and report the Contribution Margin percentage for each quarter
in 2009.
Your client is concerned about incurring losses and would like your professional advice as a cost accountant on this
matter. While your primary job is to come up with the profitability report for each quarter in 2009, a secondary task will
be to provide possible solutions for the reduction of costs. Since you are in the best position to understand what drives
costs, your input to the client in this regard is very important.
You will report your findings in a memorandum addressed to Global Airline’s CEO. One of your challenges is to address
the issues completely yet concisely. It does not help your grade to write more than is necessary. Your ONE page memo
(front side of paper only, think of it as an executive summary) must be clearly supported and cross-referenced with your
supporting profitability projections (e.g. tables, charts, external evidence, etc. in the appendix). Effective cross-
referencing between the memo and the supporting financial projections is VERY important; please make sure it is clear
to me where the numbers are coming from. While the written memo should not exceed ONE page, the appendix with
tables, charts, external evidence, etc. does not have a limitation on length.
Keep in mind that there is no one right answer as these type of analyses require judgement and differing assumptions.
Your accounting analysis will vary from everyone in class and that is OK. Your grade is mostly based on how well you
make and support a persuasive argument to your client
MS Excel Add-in required:
For purposes of completing Case 1, you will need to use regression analysis in MS Excel. In order to perform regression
analysis in MS Excel, you must have the Data Analysis toolpack loaded on the software. This is a free add in for MS Excel
and it’s relatively easy to load; just do a search online for your version of MS Excel.

Current liabilities are debts or obligations owed to others outside the business and due within one year. All businesses and organizations incur current liabilities as part of their routine operations. For example, a sporting goods store purchases goods (sports equipment) on account in anticipation of the upcoming season. It also has current liabilities for utility bills, rent, etc. Current liabilities recorded for utilities, rent, etc. are also recorded as expenses. This ensures companies are following the matching principle.
Whether it is a known, estimated, or contingent liability, companies incur these liabilities in the course of their operations. It’s inevitable. This is why it’s important to understand the different types of current liabilities and how they are classified. Contingent liabilities are generally not known and are contingent on an event happening. Over the last decade, arguments have been made on whether contingent liabilities should be recorded, disclosed, or remote. A good example is British Petroleum (BP). BP had a huge oil spill and many liabilities arose from this event. BP had to disclose this event in its annual report in 2010 because, at the time, it could not estimate an amount. However, in 2011, many of these disclosed contingent liabilities were recorded because past transactions were estimable.

Although stocks and bonds may both be viewed as investment opportunities, there are major differences between the two. Stock represents capital, the financial investment or equity, in a corporation. In a publicly-traded corporation, individuals and groups buy and own shares of stock in the company. Shares of stock are traded (bought and sold) on one of the stock exchanges. For example, you might buy shares of stock in Coca-Cola, a publicly-traded company. Publicly traded companies are very different from privately-owned companies. Private corporations do not sell stock on a public exchange. For example, ECPI is a privately-owned company. Its stock is not available to outside investors, nor is it traded on an exchange.
Bonds are debt issued by a government or corporation. Individuals and groups buy and hold these bonds as an investment. The government or corporation that issues these bonds guarantees payment of the original investment plus interest earned at a specific future date. For example, if New York City wants to build a new tunnel and bridge, the city might issue a bond to finance this project.
Both stocks and bonds are used to raise money. Issuing bonds allows the corporation to maintain control since ownership is not changed. Issuing stock gives up control to the stockholders (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2014).
