PLEASE USE MEMO TEMPLET 
The purpose of this assignment is to analyze stockholders’
equity to recommend strategies for generating cash. Understanding a company’s
position as it relates to stockholders and stockholders’ equity is important
when considering options and making decisions related to the strategies that
should be implemented to generate cash for the company.
The chief executive officer (CFO) of the company wants to
generate cash for the organization and has tasked you to review the current
stockholders’ equity position for the company and use your findings to
recommend strategies for generating cash flow. The CEO has requested you
summarize your findings in a memo that is addressed to the CFO, but one that
could be shared with other stakeholders. To access a memo template, refer to
“Effective Business Writing,” located in the Class Resources. In the
“Effective Business Writing” section on the Student Success Center,
you will find a “Templates” section with a “Memo Template”
you may download and utilize for this assignment.
Refer to the “Annual Reports for Approved Companies” and
access the Form 10-K for one of the companies. Review and study the following
information related to stocks:
Identify and discuss the current types of stock, such
as common or preferred stock, currently issued, and outstanding. Include a
narrative description along with the values and number of shares found on
the balance sheet.
Identify the presence of treasury stock and its
impact on overall stockholders’ equity. If the company does not have
treasury stock, indicate the absence of treasury stock and provide some
discussion as to why the company may not have purchased back any of its
originally issued stock.
Review the notes to the financial statements to
determine if the company has any convertible bonds and summarize the
characteristics of those bonds. If there are no convertible bonds in the
notes, discuss why a company may want to consider convertible bonds in the
future.
Discuss the pros and cons of issuing new stock,
reissuing treasury stock (if applicable), and issuing convertible bonds.
In addition, include your recommendations on how the
company could generate cash from issuing new common stock, preferred
stock, convertible bonds or reissuing treasury stock. Support your
recommendations with examples that show the impact on cash.
General Requirements:
Using the five items above as a guide, summarize your
findings and recommendations for the CFO.
Submit the Word memo document to the dropbox. with the
naming convention LastnameFirstinitial.T6memo.

Unit IV Journal
Assignment Content
The purpose of this journal is to evaluate the use of activity-based costing (ABC) and its impact.
Using your favorite search engine, choose a company which uses the ABC method for costing inventory. For instance, Toyota and Coca-Cola.
Assume you are the owner of the company that produces the product. You have been offered the option to outsource the product’s component parts instead of making them. What cost factors would need to be considered? Does it make more financial sense to outsource these parts? Explain with examples/assumptions.
Assume the product was being made on an old piece of machinery that is slowing down production and causing delayed completion times. You have been given the option to either buy a new replacement piece of machinery or have this current machine reworked/repaired. Which option would you choose? What factors would be considered? State all assumptions and be sure to describe how incremental analysis would be used to make this decision.
Provide background on the firm and how it utilizes the ABC method within its operations.
What are possible alternatives to this costing method? Provide 2–3 examples.
How does the ABC method provide a more accurate and realistic way of valuing indirect costs? What types of resources are needed to use this method? Hint: Think about time studies, activity drivers, activity pools, and activity bases. Does the engineering team or marketing need to be involved? Explain.
Finally, explain the major strengths and weaknesses of the ABC method. Are the benefits worth the costs? Explain.
