Accounting question: I have "ACME Company" which makes widgets, and now I'm trying to start a new company "BUFO Company" which will service whatnots. The startup costs to receive "BUFO" established, legal fees, computers, etc, will be paid by "ACME" to start with, but once "BUFO" is solvent will pay those expenses back to "ACME". So in ACME's accounting, how should I best book those costs? Create a "BUFO expense" account? Or is it an asset account; an "Investment in BUFO" (asset)?

Open Question: Car people - I want to purchase a 1994 3 series BMW 325IC - V6 - Opinions?

I was wondering if this is a decent investment. I was told from many people that if it was well maintained and I maintain it well that it could last a lifetime. I have a 2000 protégé and decided I wanted to upgrade but of course I am actually considering buying an older car (1994). The selling price is 6600$ with a difficult top included so I can steer in 4 seasons. So far everything seems to be in good/working condition only has 176KM. A pal from work is selling… I’ve had a few comments from friends saying that I am better off putting my money in a newer car or leasing one. I am not a fan of having monthly payments and this car is fun esp in the summer. I guess I am looking for an opinion of someone who bought an older BMW and if they had a lot of problems ( I knw the parts can be pricey) Let me know your thoughts.

Open Question: fair value option project?

Case 08-8 Gainey car, Inc. Albert Gator, the controller of Gainey car Inc. ("Gainey"), has requested a meeting with the engagement team and the chief financial officer of Gainey to discuss implementation issues associated with the adoption of FASB Statements No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, and No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Gainey has just filed its September 30, 2007, Form 10-Q and is interested in understanding the implications of the adoption of the fair value option ("FVO") for certain assets and liabilities. Gainey understands that in order to apply the FVO to the selected items for fiscal 2008, the company must make and document its elections by January 1, 2008, but Gainey is unclear as to every of the implications. Albert indicated that Gainey is considering electing the fair value option for certain 1 investments in debt securities that are accounted for as available-for-sale ("AFS"), an investment in a joint venture, forward commodity contracts, an issuance of long-term debt, and a warranty obligation. Albert has provided the following details about these assets and liabilities. . Assets include: • AFS debt securities which are traded on exchanges that are considered "active markets." • A 50 percent limited partnership ownership interest in a joint venture called Tebow. The Tebow investment is accounted for below the equity method of accounting. Tebow owns and operates a tire manufacturing plant in Jacksonville, Florida. Gainey also funded the Tebow joint venture start-up activities through an advance that is recorded as a loan receivable on Gainey's balance sheet at a carrying value of $19.5 million as of October 1, 2007. • Ninety-day forward commodity contracts to purchase steel used in production of its vehicles. These contracts do not meet the definition of a derivative below FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and are not currently reported on the balance sheet, except for periodic contract settlement balances. Liabilities include: • $2 billion of fixed rate public debt that is actively traded on an exchange. This debt is fully hedged with an interest rate swap (notional equals face value of debt) that meets the hedging criteria in Statement 133 and is appropriately accounted for as a fair value hedge. Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with this debt instrument are $4 million as of October 1, 2007. • • A warranty program providing replacement parts, including any related service (e.g., installation) for defective products for up to five years. below the program, Gainey may only settle the warranty by providing replacement parts and services (i.e., Gainey cannot settle a claim in cash or pay a third party to perform below the warranty). In preparation for implementing Statement 159 on January 1, 2008, including having every of the required documentation in place, Gainey performed a "mock" implementation as of October 1, 2007. Before the meeting, Albert gave the engagement team an analysis of the carrying value and estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities as of October 1, 2007, (the hypothetical date of adoption), as presented below. Albert and the CFO would like the engagement team to review the analysis and discuss whether management's analysis is reasonable and appropriate. Albert and the CFO are planning to gift this information to the Board of Directors later in the month. : "Mock" Implementation — Gainey Analysis as of October 1, 2007 Type of Instrument Assets AFS securities (look note A) Investment in Tebow Commodity contracts Liabilities Public fixed-rate debt (look note B) Interest rate swap Warranty obligation October 1,2 Preelection Carrying Value ;•;;.: Br/(Cr) $ 35,000 $ 45,000 $- $ (1,975,000) $ (25,000) $(1,400,000) 007- | : Fair Value; Dr/(Cr) 1 in OOO's $ 33,000 $ 47,000 $ 600,000 $ (2,100,000) $ (25,000) $ (1,300,000) Y Pretax H Impact of Initial 1 Adoption $ 2,000 $- $ (600,000) $ 125,000 $- $ (100,000) Notes: A: Because Gainey holds a substantial position in certain AFS securities, Gainey's management believes the company would probably receive less than the quoted market price if it were to liquidate the entire position at once. Therefore, Gainey reduced the quoted market value of these securities by $2 million to arrive at the fair value (i.e., Gainey incorporated a block discount). B: Unamortized debt issuance costs were $4 million as of October 1. 2007. Required: Answer the following questions, documenting any issues identified and every professional literature used to support recommendations and conclusions for resolving these issues. Issue 1: Is the election of the FVO and the measurement below Statement 157 of the , items listed below appropriate, accurate, and complete? If not, what observations i caused the engagement team concern? Instruments Is t

Open Question: Short Sale Vs Foreclosure?

I'm in a situation where I have the opportunity to short sale my property instead of letting it go to foreclosure. This might seem like a very easy answer, of course do the short sale, but there seems to be some compounding factors which may guide to foreclosure being the best option. My unique situation requires that I pay partial closing of $5000 to do the short sale. I'll explain.... My outstanding balance on the home is $205k, the buyers final offer was $140k, and the bank is requiring $145k to close. My realtor is requiring me to pay $5k to close the gap between the buyer and bank. The buyer appears to be some investment company that buys distressed properties for profit. My reason for questioning the short sale... I've read an article online about, "Deficiency Judgments." The bank can seek a deficiency judgment for the shortage on the actual amount received versus the amount that was due. Using my unique situation, the judgment may be recorded against me for $60,000. If the bank does pursue a deficiency judgment against me, I may have to file bankruptcy at a later date to remove the judgment. I refuse to pay 5 grand and still end up having to claim bankruptcy... Is there a way to require the bank to forgive the deficiency..? The property is in Maryland I am 18months behind
