ANTECEDENTES

Lawn Depot Inc, es una Compañía fabricante de cortadora de césped para uso doméstico e institucional, fundada en el Sur de los Estados Unidos, en 1986 y desde entonces ha experimentado un rápido crecimiento en sus ventas con utilidades en todos los años a partir de 1988. A la fecha cuenta con una capacidad de producción equivalente a un volumen de US$25 millones por año.

Más de dos terceras partes de las ventas anuales se dan en los seis primeros meses del año, mientras que la producción se mantiene estable a través de todo el año. Ha financiado su expansión a través de una línea de crédito con un banco de la localidad y con un préstamo hipotecario a una empresa aseguradora.

Normalmente los préstamos se dan a principios de enero y se pagan a mediados de julio. Sin embargo para 1996 hubo un atraso en la cancelación del préstamo, seguido inmediatamente de una solicitud de crédito adicional, con un saldo de US$1,620.000. A finales de 1996 se inician las negociaciones para la compra de equipo nuevo con un costo de US $ 400, 000, a instalarse en marzo de 1997.

En los Estados Unidos existen 200 empresas que se dedican a la fabricación de máquinas de podar césped, de las cuales, el 40% domina el 90% del mercado, lo cual se muestra en la GRAFICA NO1.

    Energy Inc. case

    • 1469 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Energy Inc. has a present obligation (IAS 37-17) and probable liability (ASC 450-20-25-2) on December 31, 2011 as a result of a past event, the contamination of the land, because it is virtually certain that a draft law requiring cleaning up will be enacted. It is probable (more likely than not) that Energy Inc. will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement which is an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits in settlement (IAS 37-23). The amount of the obligation or loss can also be estimated reliably since Energy Inc. has made similar payments for cleanup in other countries, which is the best estimate of the costs of the clean (IAS 37-36/ASC 450-20-25-2). As a result, according to IAS 37-14, Energy Inc. should recognize a provision in reporting to its U.K. parent under IFRSs and based on ASC 450-20-25-2, a provision needs to be recognized in reporting to its U.S.-based lender in accordance with U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2011. However, in the case that Energy Inc. cannot reasonably estimate the cost of the cleanup, a provision should not be recognized but disclosed provision in reporting to its U.K. parent under IFRSs and U.S.-based lender in accordance with U.S. GAAP (ASC 450-20-50-5).…

    Deere & Company (also known as John Deere, after its founder) is a world-leading manufacturer, distributor, and financier of equipment for agriculture, construction, forestry, and commercial and consumer applications (lawn and grounds care). Deere’s objective has consistently been to be the low-cost producer in the markets it serves. However, it seeks to do so while maintaining an image of quality and customer focus. Its company values are quality, innovation, integrity, and commitment.
