    Accounting Microline Case

    Microline’s profits increased significantly from 2010 to 2011 with the net income of 2011 being over 3 times the amount of 2010. The return on equity also increased, with a 4% ROE in 2010 to 14% in 2011. Their profits are also growing faster than there assets with an increase on their return on assets of 4% between 2010 and 2011. The profit margin rose from 2% in 2010 to 5% in 2011. Sales rose from $7500 between 2010 and 2011, however, this does not account for the substantial increase in their net income. While their sales have increased, their profits have increased at a faster rate. The significant increase in their net income is largely accounted for by gains on sales of land, foreign exchange, income from affiliates and short term equity investments. Combined these account for an increase of $4000 on the income statement between 2010 and 2011. Another point of interest is the large increase in administrative expenses which increased by $5000 dollars from 2010 to 2011. The company did show an increase in sales, however, the amount of the increase brings into question what Microline is writing off as administrative expenses as there is no mention of it in the footnotes. This could be a cause for concern where the majority of the companies net income is being generated from investment opportunities rather than from the sales of…

    Progress Report

    In our second session the client was feeling much more comfortable since we have met and communicated well from the last session. Last session, the client’s problem was about how stressed she was when it comes to prioritizing things. So I decided to give her an assignment. Her assignment’s purpose is to let her be aware on the things that are very important and the things that needed to be done. So her assignment is the “time audit” where she will list all her activities and also list all the things that she should prioritized first. After listing all her activities I also requested her to make a timetable of her week. On her work, the client enumerated the school works as her top priority on the list, cleaning her room and going out with some friends as the last. So I told the client that it’s good that she knows what her priorities are and encourage her to not procrastinate in order for her to have an extra time for the other stuffs. So I looked at her work which is the timetable and told her that she did a nice job in making the timetable. The reason why I let her make the timetable is for her to keep track of her time and not forget the important matters she needs to do. Basically, the client knows what the difference between the important and unimportant stuffs but the only problem for her is that she forgot her responsibilities and ends up procrastinating. The client also added that since she was able to pass the midterms exam she was happy about it. I can also observe that she is more relax and at ease during the second session compared to the…
