However, an asset purchased 20 years ago could be worth substantially more than the balance sheet shows. Many advocate using what is called fair value accounting, where the market price or fair value of the asset should be shown on the balance sheet. Please discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each and which you think should prevail.
Discussion #4 Under what circumstances would you (as an investor) prefer to receive cash dividends rather than stock dividends? And, conversely, under what circumstances would you prefer to receive stock dividends to cash dividends?
Discussion #6 You are the controller of a privately-held corporation. The company has just created a product that is expected to yield substantial profits in a couple of years. Right now though, the company is experiencing financial difficulties; and because of a lack of working capital, is close to default on a note they have outstanding with the bank. At the end of the most recent fiscal year, the CEO instructed you not to record several invoices as accounts payable, which reflect bona-fide liabilities of a substantial amount, until after year-end, at which time it was expected that additional financing could be obtained. How would you handle the situation?
