You are required to complete a course project that reveals mastery in application of the management accounting concepts and finance emphasised in the course. This involves reporting on a specific organisation within an industry and the management accounting and finance practices that affect the value of the chosen firm. This project should be a formal business report that provides both specific processes and strategies involving:-


1-budgeting


,2- costing,


3-capital decision making,


4-capital acquisition,



5-and cost of capital structure of the chosen firm (
International Business Machine Corp (IBM)

. These processes and strategies are to be supported with management accounting concepts..
This week you will continue to work on your Final Project for this module. Prepare an annotated outline of your Final Project, briefly indicating the content you plan to include in each section of the report and the concepts and techniques you plan to apply for analysing any data and developing your argument. This is due to be handed in next week. The outline should not include detailed sections of the Final Project. Instead, it should be a specific and crisp overview of the contents that will comprise the final report, which will provide a detailed account of the five tasks listed below.


Remember that the tasks required for the Final Project are to:



  1. Assess the budgeting process and procedures for the organisation with regards to preparation techniques, uses for evaluation, differences between business units/divisions, etc.



  1. Analyse how the organisation collects, stores, and prepares management accounting information, particularly the use of a management accounting system (MAS) and how information is disseminated throughout the organisation.



  1. Evaluate the costing process and procedures of the organisation with respect to method or approach utilised.



  1. Assess the capital decision making process within the organisation with regards to what methods are utilised, how such methods are chosen, how projects are selected and managed, and what measures are employed to evaluate performance.



  1. Evaluate the criteria or mechanisms used by the organisation for deciding how best to acquire capital and analyse the capital structure of the company.


The annotated outline should address each of the tasks listed above.
You need to briefly describe what information you will include in each section of the report that will satisfy these requirements. The work that will be carried out in the outline should represent a higher-level view than the contents of the Final Project. As such, you must remain at this level to avoid reusing the same wording in the final document.
here is feedback from my Professor about my proposal final project last week
Thank you for the proposal.
A few thoughts:
1. Where is the actual outline?
2. Where are the capital structure, capital acquisition, and capital budgeting?
3. Academic research needs to be strengthened.”

International Business Machine Corporation
International Business Machine Corpiraiton (IBM) established in Armonk , New York,
in the year 1910 is engaged with products and services pertained to information technology
across the globe with its expertise in the IT infrastructure as well (Yahoo Finance,2012). Some
of the business segments of the compan
y are (a) Global Business Services (b) Systems and
Technology (c) Global Technology Services (d) Global Consuling and Infrastructure Services
and (e) Software (IBM, 2011). IT consulting and infrastructure services along with hosting
services rendered by the company helped to generate revenue across the globe. The company
pertains to Information Technology Industry as a leader in the same industry. The long vintage of
the company in the line of business and diversified portfolio attracted investors , while the
company was listed in many renowned stock exchanges across the globe. The quality of work
and strong customer relationship along with the brightness of the information sector could help
to increase the stock prices for the company. Today , IBM has the highest market capitalization
in the industry as compared to all the competitors (IBM, 2013).As part of the project , we look
forward the analysis and contribution made by the multinational company IBM to its
stakeholders from few prospectives like “management,” accounting concepts and finance
concepts. With the help of “management” accounting concept , we try to understand the pricing
concepts used by the company and overhead analysis and the true value of the company is
decided with the help of financial concepts.
Information Used
We have used annual reports of Southwest Airlines for last few years along with yahoo
finance “website” and few more reports generated by analysts or stock brokers. The help of the
said information would propel us to arrive at the true value of the company.
Techniques And Concepts Applied
Concepts Pertained To Finance
Net Asset Value (NAV) gives a strength to every investor, how much asset will be left over after
meeting liabilities. The formula to calculate NAV is as follows:
NAV = Total Assets Over Total Liabilities Divided By Total Number Of Shares.
Over the last ten years, the company has an average NAV of $16.82 and it is very minimal as
compared to the present market price of the share.
Every Investor needs to understand the implication of price earning ratio. Price Earnings ratios
signify how many times the market is ready to offer for every dollar of earnings. Higher the PE
ratio, better it is. Hence every investor is much worried about this ratio while getting invested in
the company. Price Earnings Ratio is calculated with the formula - market price of each share
divided by earnings per share.
We could draw a comparative analysis among the competitors of IBM in terms of PE ratio.
While comparing the PE ratio of all the below mentioned companies, we may say the PE ratio of
13.87 for IBM is at better positions as compared to HP and Intel and in similar lines with the
EPS of Microsoft and Oracle.
Particulars Intel Microsoft Oracle HP IBM
Share Price 20.51 26.96 33.27 14.04 192.71
EPS 2.29 1.85 2.12 -6.45 13.89
PE Ratio 8.96 14.57 15.69 N.A. 13.87
Fiscal Period Dec 02 Dec 03 Dec 04 Dec 05 Dec 06 Dec 07 Dec 08 Dec 09 Dec 10 Dec 11
Total Assets 96484 104457 109183 105748 103234 120431 109524 109022 113452 116433
