Week 8 e-Activity

Share updates about your companies.

Have they launched a new product? Have they been involved in a scandal? Have they recently been fined for lack of compliance? Are their stocks fluctuating or holding steady?

If nothing has changed, compare different aspects of the companies. Is one stronger or weaker in an area than the other? Is there something on which they could work together?

Note: These are suggested topics; you may discuss any topic related to your companies. As the e-activities will be used for the larger assignments in the course you may want to use these updates as a place to draft your ideas and get feedback.

Tax agency fund discussion

Business Finance

Please respond in Word to the following exercise:

  • In your own words, distinguish the types of scenarios where a tax agency fund would apply from scenarios where a tax agency fund would not apply. Please provide two or more examples of both situations. What are the legal implications of a tax agency relationship?

Using the fact scenario below, please respond in Excel to the following two exercises:

  • Prepare the journal entries to reflect the transactions on the City of San Francisco’s books.
  • Prepare the journal entries to reflect the transactions on each recipient county’s books.

Facts:

The City of San Francisco assesses a 15-cent telecommunications tax per call on calls initiated and terminated within the jurisdiction. During 2017, there were approximately 978,000,000 calls upon which the tax should be imposed. In addition, the city also collects sales taxes for the 3 counties that are part of incorporated San Francisco. Those taxes collected are $12,000,000 for County A, $7,500,000 for County B, and $4,130,000 for County C. Assume the amount of both taxes assessed were collected in their entirety. Fees for the collection services are 2% of tax collected. Residual cash after the fees assessed was disbursed to the counties.

Business Finance

Simulation Exercise.

The company “Smart Insight” approaches you because they would like you to write a 1,000 word blog post for them on one of the 5S of Digital Marketing and Marketing Strategy: SAVE.

The company approaches you with the following request:

The “5S for Digital Marketing” are usually applied to define and align the business objectives with the digital marketing strategy of a company.

“Save” is usually used by third sector organisations to add value to their marketing propositions: saving the world from something is usually a tag line and a key message, which is then associated to a certain call to action (fundraising, donating etc…).

However, “Save” is also a key element of internal business and marketing strategy. We would like your professional opinion on how and why “Save” can be used by companies and organisations to maximise their profit or minimise their costs.

REMEMBER: Required length of your post: 1,000 words
