3-5 page paper and a 10 slide powerpoint on a specific topic should be easy but i don’t have the time before tomorrow and want to make sure you guys can complete this, depend on you, and get me a good grade A.





Objective


To provide students an opportunity to deepen topics covered our current class.



Note that ACTG 1A and 1B are the prerequisites for many subsequent more advanced accounting classes at Foothill and other colleges and universities, so this project could be useful in advancing some of the topics that you will study in Intermediate Accounting.



Sample topics you could select for this paper/project are:




  • Plant Assets

  • Partnerships

  • Equity/Corporate Transactions

  • Bond Pricing

  • Investments

  • Statement of Cash Flows

  • Financial Statement Analysis



You can select any topic from the ones covered in our textbook or other directly related topics from other accounting classes. You can also narrow the topics above to a specific aspect of each (ie. Plant Assets: Exchanges).





Project Description


You will choose 1 topicanddevelop a lesson, based on your first-year of accounting textbook and/or any other source that you find useful. You can consult others outside of the class (e.g. accounting professionals, websites, youtube) to provide you assistance.





Assume that I will use your Lesson and Presentations in future classes, so your write-up should be written with an average accounting student audience in mind. In other words, please keep it focused and simple. In your summaries, discuss the topic in general – provide a brief, but comprehensive overview. Then in your presentation, focus on a specific aspect (subtopic) of the topic or on a single application example and explain how the topic applies. Keep in mind that you can take any angle you wish on the topic and presentation. It is up to you to get as much benefit from learning about the topic by teaching it to others.



This project also complies with one the primary demands of industry (and one of our required student learning outcomes): students will demonstrate the ability to collaborate effectively, using appropriate methods and technology. With this in mind, you could “recruit” classmates/colleagues from this class or others to help you with the paper. But do include in the reflection component their names, positions, and in what way each were helpful to you.



Deliverable Components of Paper


This paper consists of 2 parts:



  1. The paper:



  • ~3-5 pages or approximately 1,500~2,000 words suggested (could be longer if needed)

  • Note that substance and contents is more important than number of pages or words.

  • single-spaced, with 1-inch margins and 10-12 point font. Tables and graphs in the body of the paper should be included where appropriate. Other tables and graphs not included in the body of the paper should be attached as appendices or exhibits. Other paper format and content requirements are listed below.




  1. the powerpoint presentation



  • Create a powerpoint presentation, based on the paper topic selected (you decide the scope of the lesson, comprehensive or focused)

  • ~10+ slide powerpoint presentation (could be longer if needed)



Paper Sections and Package


The paper should include the following sections:



Total Paper Package[100 Total Raw Points]



  • Title Page and Table of Contents[-10 points, if missing]

  • Lesson[80 Points]



  • Pages 1-2+:Body of Paper(s)



  • Page 1:Introduction of Topic(theory)[20 Points]

  • Page 2:Application of Topic(using a related problem from the ones you solved from the homework or illustrations in your first-year-of-accounting textbook or similar problem on the internet or similar)[40 Points]

  • Page 3:Summary(key points to remember related to the theory or the application)[20 Points]




  • Powerpoint presentation(should parallel the body of the paper)[20 Points]



NOTE:I am mostly interested in having a basic, but comprehensive overview of your selected topic, so that I can use it in future classes. Keep in mind that I am not asking for academic writing. I rather have a more practical and functional deliverable. If you can come up with a better organization for this paper, by all means use it. You can be as creative as you can, but make sure to provide your future classmates with a useful learning activity.

Brief introduction about the topic:
The cash flow statement is part of a financial statement that summarizes the movement of cash inflows and outflows during a particular period and shows the cash generation and management capability of an organization. The cash flow statements are a mandatory requirement under US GAAP and the entities are required to mandatorily prepare a statement of cash flows during the end of each fiscal year along with a balance sheet and income statement. The statement also includes cash equivalents which are not cash but can be easily converted into cash. The cash flows statement can be prepared using two methods i.e. direct method as well as the indirect method. Under the direct method of cash flows, the net cash receipts and cash payments are recorded such as cash collection from customers, cash payments to suppliers for operating and other expenses, etc. Under the indirect method of cash flows, the net income is considered as the basis for cash inflows and outflows and the working capital changes are adjusted to derive the cash flow movement.
Various aspects of cash flow statement:
The cash flows statement (CFS) shows the cash generation and spending capacity of an organization during a period and efficient cash flows management is treated as a strong and positive financial performance indicator for the organization. The CFS of an entity is equally important for an investor because the CFS explains the financial ground and liquidity of an entity and it can only be analyzed from a cash flow statement. Investors can make more informed decision-making based on cash flow statements and cash movement during a particular period. Under US GAAP the exception is granted to certain companies from mandatory preparation of CFS such as investment companies covered under the scope of ASC 946 and defined benefit pension plans covered under ASC 960 otherwise all other companies are required to prepare a statement of cash flow statement. The CFS can be prepared using direct and indirect methods under US GAAP (Chris B Murphy, 2022).
Most companies are preparing cash flows statement using an indirect method in which the cash movements can be segregated into three sections i.e. investing, financing activities, and operating activities. The net movement of all three activities is clubbed together and is known as net changes in cash and cash equivalents. The opening balance of cash and cash equivalent is added to the net changes in cash movement during the period and the closing balance of cash and cash equivalent is derived. Apart from three activities bifurcation, the non-cash activities are also included as per GAAP.
The operating cash flows show the movement in cash due to business operations and the positive operational cash flows are treated as a strong financial indicator for an organization. The operating activities are treated as the principal revenue-generating...
