Financial Report (900 words; Word document; structure below) Requirement - Prepare a brief report that summarises the financial position of Marvel Landscaping, addressing the following considerations: a. Financial Statements – include and summarise the Financial Statements from the Excel document (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity) You may choose to include the Financial Statements in the main body of the report (Section 2.0), or in the Appendix. Please give them titles and introduce each of them. You should refer to them in the report. They are not included in the word count. It is okay if the figures in your Financial Statements are not the same as the solution or other submissions – you should discuss them based on what your figures are. b. Comment on the financial performance AND financial position of the business after its first year of operations. Refer to your included Financial Statements. What policies or strategies might the business consider changing or adopting to increase its future profits? Again, this should directly refer to the figures in YOUR statements. When discussing financial performance and position, think about the statement that best reflects this information. You may want to lists these as sub-headings in section 2. c. Marvel Landscaping expects to invest in further assets in the coming year. Briefly describe the depreciation methods available and the main differences and benefits of each. Please answer this question in section 2, with a sub-heading. Break this question down to make sure you answer all parts of it. Look at the depreciation methods and expense that your business has used and provide independent advice. Look back at the lecture slides and textbook for ideas. d. The business used the weighted average Perpetual inventory method for FY 2018. What other methods could be used and how might they impact on the financial position of the business at the end of the period? Once again, please answer this in Section 2, and consider an appropriate sub-heading. Think about what financial position means and how the different inventory methods might change it. If the business didn’t use weighted average, what method could it used and why might it consider one of these? e. What internal control mechanisms do you recommend (eg Bank Reconciliation; cash controls)? Refer to the textbook and lecture slides for ideas. Think about the particular business model when you are making recommendations and justify it. Eg ‘It is recommended that the business conduct regular bank reconciliations as a way of ensuring internal control over cash. This recommendation is made on the basis that the business has significant assets held as cash.’ Report Structure: Title Page Table of Contents – consider making links like has been done in the EXCEL tip sheet. You may want to include any subheadings 1.0 Introduction – should be brief 1-2 paragraphs 100-200 words. Introduce the business and what this report is 2.0 The Report (use subheadings) – this is the main body and should contain most of the words, 500-600 words. It should have sub-headings (see above) and should answer ALL of the questions at a.-e. above. You must refer to the data found in YOUR financial statements as well as information about the business in the Instructions document. This section should contain references – see the Harvard Referencing guide in Blackboard for how to do this. You must reference in-text eg ‘accounting controls include the methods and procedures that safeguard assets’ (Nobles et al 2016) 3.0 Conclusion (including Recommendations)- should be one to two paragraphs. It should be based on your findings in the report. When you answer the questions in the report, you will most likely identify some things the business could or should do eg conduct regular bank reconciliations. It would be a good idea to refer to these recommendations (briefly) in the conclusion. This could be dot points or in paragraph form. 4.0 List of References – using Harvard Style. You would probably only need a few, perhaps 3 or 4. See the style guide in Blackboard, ask your teacher or academic skills for advice Eg: Noble, T, Mattison, B, Matsumura, E, Best, P, Fraser, R, Willet, R 2016, Horngren’s Accounting, 8th edn, Pearson Australia, Melbourne. Appendix (not included in word count) – anything you refer to that might add more substance to your argument but is too bulky for the body. You may choose to include the financial statements here. Eg Appendix I: Marvel Landscaping Balance Sheet Microsoft Word - ACC506 ATMC Task 2 Instructions S1 2019.docx Chalkboard Supplies – Task 2 Instructions 1 ACC506 ATMC Task 2 – Semester 1, 2019 1.

Financial Statements
Introduction
Financial statements are important and helps in presenting different aspects of the company’s performance. When the company is planning to expand its operations the board of directors would be mainly interested in the four major financial statements i.e. income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statements. All the financial statements are important to the board of directors as they will provide the adequate information required for expansion. With the income statement the company would be able to analyse on its profitability whereas with the help of other financial statements like balance sheet the company would be able to analyse on its financial position by knowing its assets, liability and equity that is held by the company. This would help the company to know its worth as well as the resources that it needs for expansion as well as the current creditability of the company. With the statement of cash flows, the company would be able to analyse the sources and uses of the cash and will help in utilizing its cash according to the requirements of the expansion. Income statements is the statement which helps in analysing the profitability of the company. Income statement is the form of an income statement which classifies the revenues and expenses of the company in much more systematic way. In the multistep income statement, the company is able to identify the main source of the income as well as the other sources of the income through the statement. The income statement also classifies the operating and the non-operating expenses which are incurred by the company. The company classifies the operating expenses in selling expenses and administrative expenses, which helps in knowing different expenses that are borne by the company.
Financial performance
Considering the financial position of the company we can see that the company has very low profitability because of the very high depreciation expenses. Thus, with the high depreciation expense, the company has incurred losses, though its cash flow and cash position would be strong as depreciation is a non-cash expense and does not effect the cash flows. So, the company would have high liquidity as well as solvency and efficiency but low profitability.
Depreciation methods
