Accounting for Business Decisions – Starbucks
You are to submit an individual one to two-page report answering the following from an accounting perspective, not a marketing/management perspective:
You are required to:
1. Of all the risks (risks are listed at the bottom) that Starbuck’s management discloses, which one do you think could most adversely affect the Balance Sheet and Income Statement at the store level and why? Demonstrate your understanding by showing an effect one on at least one of the ratios you produced in deliverable one. Ratio Analysis, Balance Sheet, Income Statement is presented below.
2. Starbuck’s normally displays its refrigerated inventory openly. What items do you believe have the highest and lowest gross profit margin? If a person steals one of the high gross profit margin inventory items, how many more does Starbucks have to sell to make up the cost of the stolen item? How many for the lowest gross profit margin inventory items? Demonstrate your understanding by provide calculations to support your claim.
3. a) Starbucks has many fixed assets in its stores. For example, they have various machines to make drinks or cook food. Identify one of those pieces of equipment, conduct internet research to estimate a replacement cost if it were destroyed today, assuming it is January 1st (cost). How many years do you estimate it will be functional and useful to help Starbucks produce revenue (estimated useful life)? In that time period in the future, how much do you think Starbucks can sell it for (salvage value)?
b) Once you have the cost of a machine, an estimated useful life and a salvage value, calculate the item’s depreciation expense for its first year. Extrapolate your results over all Starbucks stores and determine the affect on the balance sheet and income statements by comparing if the item were to be depreciated using the straightline verse double-declining balance methods, over the estimated cost, estimated useful life and estimated salvage values you choose. You must show calculations. To answer this question, you may have to conduct research to determine the make/model machines they use. If you can’t figure it out, use a close substitute.
4. From everything you read, analyzed and understand to date about Starbucks, what would you change that would help it increase revenue, control its expenses, or make its assets more efficient? Show how that beneficial change would affect at least one ratio in the next year that financial statements would be produced.
