Good morning,

I noticed you previously completed a 10K report for Accounting 321 (Cost Accounting). Would you be willing to do a 10K report for "Monster Beverage Company". I have attached the link to their 10K that I am using.

This is a detailed description of what is due.

Accounting Program Overview: SEC 10K Report Project for ACCT 321 In Cost Accounting, the SEC 10K project focuses on cost-related accounts and disclosures found in the financial statements and disclosure of the SEC 10K Report of a manufacturing corporation. Using knowledge learned in prior accounting courses, students compare and contrast the SEC 10K Report of a manufacturing to a non-manufacturing corporation. ACCT 321: Cost Accounting//SEC 10K Project Requirements Summary: This SEC 10-K project challenges students to review, analyze, and interpret financial statements and disclosures of a corporation headquartered in the U.S. To simulate processes used by practicing accountants, students present analyses and findings to the class and participate in a peer review process. The final deliverables include the following: a paper, spreadsheet, and presentation file. Outcomes: Analyze, interpret, and prepare a report on a U.S. publicly traded manufacturing corporation using its most current SEC 10K report. Competencies: Review components of SEC 10K Report, analyze financial statements, compare and contrast with SEC 10K Report of non-manufacturing corporation, and interpret results. Assessments: Assessments will include three documents: a paper, spreadsheet, and presentation. Process: 1. Microsoft Word document: Copy and paste key financial statements into your word document They do not affect page count You may find graphics in the SEC 10-K that illustrate topics These items will assist readers as they review your paper: Identify highlights of your financial analysis, and contrast to a nonmanufacturing (or manufacturing) corporation's financial statements using your OWN WORDS. What do you learn about the company? What areas are changing and may be opportunities for cost control and improved profits Pricing and Sales: how are sales changing? While the SEC 10-K may not reveal details (consider competitive advantage versus required disclosure) As sales change, how does gross profit and net income change? Vertical analysis, comparatively, from year to year, is helpful Estimated length: five to seven (5-7) pages 1 inch margins top & bottom; 1 to 1.25 inches on left & right sides Line spacing: single spacing with double spacing between paragraphs Font size: 12 CPI Font style: Times New Roman 2. FINAL Microsoft Excel spreadsheet: After reviewing and considering student feedback and making revisions if necessary on your DRAFT spreadsheet, post the following: Company information Income Statement Balance Sheet Financial statement ratios related to accounts specific to cost accounting for manufacturing corporations. For example, ratios related to the three inventory accounts, calculation of cost of goods sold, different product line sales in relation to total sales, etc. Be creative and create meaningful cost accounting ratios to assist managements decision making. Formulas must be embedded into the cells (preferable) or written beside the cells. 3. Microsoft Power Point presentation Imagine that you are preparing slides to make a formal presentation to the senior management team of the corporation on opportunities for the future. You may wish to add audio to the Power Point presentation file or provide speakers notes embedded into the file in the notes section. Prepare the following: 1. Cover slide 2. Brief description of corporation 3. Financial statement ratios you created and computed 4. Cost of goods sold calculation 5. Comparison of profitability of various product lines 6. Potential opportunities to control costs in particular product lines, departments, divisions, etc. 7. Recommendations for sustaining existing product(s) lines based on cost analysis 8. Recommendations for eliminating or transitioning existing product(s) lines based on cost analysis 9. Recommendations for potential market opportunities 10. Concluding thoughts (Would you recommend investment in this company?) Additional Guidance on preparing the 3 deliverables: 1. The grading rubric found in the syllabus will be used to grade the deliverables. 2. Take care to avoid academic dishonesty. Create, read, and edit your work. Explain the financial analysis you prepared in Excel, discuss relevant financial statement disclosure notes, and any other cost accounting-related information using your own words. 3. Copying information from the Web and pasting it into LEO is plagiarism. Plagiarism is cheating. Papers, spreadsheets, and discussion postings and all submissions must complete with UMUC policies on this issue. Do not risk failure to comply. 4. Resources needed to complete this project are the SEC 10-K report, weekly discussion questions and your answers, and course content in LEO. Additional research beyond these resources is optional.
