Scenario: Shelley Jones has just been elected as president of the Circular Club of Auburn, Kansas, and she has been asked to suggest a new fundraising activity for the club. After a considerable amount of research, Shelley proposed the Circular Club sponsor a professional rodeo. In her presentation to the club, Shelley recommends the fundraiser become an annual activity with the following goals:
  • Continue to grow each year
  • Give back to the community
  • Provide the club a presence in the community
Shelley's goal in the first year is to have an activity that would become an "annual community event" and would break even the first year and raise $5,000 the following year. In addition, based on the experience of other communities, Shelley believed a rodeo could grow in popularity so the club would eventually earn an average of $20,000 annually.
A rodeo committee was formed. Shelley contacted the world's oldest and largest rodeo-sanctioning agency to apply to sponsor a professional rodeo. The sanctioning agency requires a rodeo to consist of the following five events: Bareback Riding, Bronco Riding, Steer Wrestling, Bull Riding, and Calf Roping, Team Roping and Women's Barrels. Prize money in the amount of $3,000 would be paid to winners in each of the seven events. Members of the rodeo committee contracted with RJ Cattle Company, a livestock contractor on the rodeo circuit, to provide bucking stock, fencing, and chutes. Realizing costs associated with the rodeo were tremendous and ticket sales would probably not be sufficient to cover the costs, the rodeo committee sent letters to local businesses soliciting contributions in exchange for various sponsorships. Exhibiting Sponsorships are $1,000 to exhibit products or services, while Major Sponsorships are $600, and Chute Sponsorships are $500 to have the name of the sponsor's business on one of the six bucking chutes. For a contribution of $100, individual sponsors will be included in a Friends of Rodeo list found in the rodeo programs.
A local youth group will be contacted to provide concessions to the public and divide the profits with the Circular Club. The Auburn Circular Club Pro Rodeo Roundup will be held on June 1, 2, and 3. The cost of an adult ticket is set at $8 in advance or $10 at the gate; the cost of a ticket for a child 12 or younger is set at $6 in advance or $8 at the gate. Tickets are not date-specific. Rather, one ticket will admit an individual to one performance of his or her choice-- Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. The rodeo committee is able to secure a location through the county supervisors' board at a nominal cost to the Circular Club. The arrangement allows for the use of the county fair grounds and arena for a one-week period. Several months prior to the rodeo, members of the rodeo committee were notified the bleachers at the arena would hold 2,500 patrons. On Saturday night, paid attendance was 1,663, but all seats were filled due to poor gate controls. Attendance was 898 Friday and 769 on Sunday.
The following revenue and expense figures relate to the first year of the rodeo.
Receipts
Contributions from sponsors $22,000
Receipts from ticket sales $28,971
Share of concession profits $1,513
Sale of programs $600
Total receipts $53,084
Expenses
Livestock contractor $26,000
Prize money $21,000
Contestant hospitality $3,341*
Sponsor signs for arena $1,900
Insurance $1,800
Ticket printing $1,050
Sanctioning fees $925
Entertainment $859
Judging fees $750
Port-a-potties $716
Rent $600
Hay for horses $538
Programs $500
Western hats to first 500 children $450
Hotel rooms for stock contractor $325
Utilities $300
Sand for arena $251
Miscellaneous fixed costs $105
Total expenses $61,410
Net loss $ (8,326)
*The club contracted with a local caterer to provide a tent and food for the contestants. The cost of the food was contingent on the number of contestants each evening. Information concerning the number of contestants and the costs incurred are as follows:
Contestants Total Cost
Friday 68 $998
Saturday 96 $1,243
Sunday 83 $1,100
$3,341
On Wednesday after the rodeo, members of the rodeo committee met to discuss and critique the rodeo. Jonathan Edmunds, CPA and President of the Circular Club, commented that the club did not lose money. Rather, Jonathan said, "The club made an investment in the rodeo." The rodeo committee has requested an analysis of the rodeos performance and evaluation of the CPA's review.
Create a minimum 10-slide presentation, including detailed speaker notes, as the committee's consultation team and respond to the following:
  • What did Jonathan Edmunds mean when he said the club had made an investment in the rodeo? Is his comment consistent with Shelley's idea that the club should have a fundraiser that would:
    • Continue to get better each year.
    • Give back to the community.
    • Provide the club a presence in the community? Why or why not?
  • Shelley, Jonathan, and Adrian Stein, the Fundraising Chairperson, are beginning to make plans for next year's rodeo. Shelley believes by negotiating with local feed stores, inn- keepers, and other business owners, costs can be cut dramatically. Jonathan agrees. After carefully analyzing costs, Jonathan has estimated the fixed expenses can be pared to approximately $51,000. In addition, Jonathan estimates variable costs are 4% of total gross receipts. After talking with business owners who attended the rodeo, Adrian is confident the funds solicited from sponsors will increase. Adrian is comfortable in budgeting revenue from sponsors at $25,600. The local youth group is unwilling to provide concessions to the audience unless they receive all of the profits. Not having the personnel to staff the concession booth, members of the Circular Club reluctantly agree to let the youth group have 100% of the profits from the concessions. In addition, members of the rodeo committee, recognizing the net income from programs was only $100, decide not to sell rodeo programs next year.
    • Compute the break-even point in dollars of ticket sales assuming Adrian and Jonathan are correct in their assumptions.
  • Shelley has just learned you are calculating the break-even point in dollars of ticket sales. She is still convinced the Club can make a profit using the assumptions above (second bullet point above).
    • Calculate the dollars of ticket sales needed to earn a target profit of $6,000.
    • Calculate the dollars of ticket sales needed to earn a target profit of $12,000.
  • Are the facilities at the fairgrounds adequate to handle crowds needed to generate ticket revenues calculated above (third bullet point above) to earn a $6,000 profit? Show calculations to support your answers.
  • A few members in the Circular Club do not want to continue with the annual rodeo. However, Shelley is insistent the Club must continue to conduct the rodeo as an annual fundraiser. Shelley argues she has spent hundreds of dollars on western boots, hats, and other items of clothing to wear to the rodeo. Are the expenses related to Shelley's purchases of rodeo clothing relevant costs? Why or why not?
  • Rather than hire the local catering company to cater the Contestant Hospitality Tent, members of the Circular Club are considering asking Shady's Bar-B-Q to cater the event in exchange for a $600 Major Sponsor spot. In addition, The Fun Shop, a local party supply business, will be asked to donate a tent to use for the event. The Fun Shop will also be given a $600 Major Sponsor spot. Several members of the Club are opposed to this consideration, arguing that the two Major Sponsor spots will take away from the money to be earned through other sponsors. Adrian Stein has explained to the members the Major Sponsor signs for the arena cost only $48 each. In addition, there is more than enough room to display two additional sponsor signs. What would you encourage the Club to do concerning the Contestant Hospitality Tent? Would your answer be different if the arena were limited in the number of additional signs that could be displayed? What kind of cost would you consider in this situation that would not be found on a financial statement?
  • Assume you are elected chair of the rodeo committee for next year. What steps would you suggest the committee take to make the rodeo profitable?

Financial reports tell the story of an organization within a fiscal year.

Please use intext citation and have a reference page. Discussion: Analyzing Financial Reports
Financial reports tell the story of an organization within a fiscal year. Annual financial reports are extremely valuable to government organizations because they give both the administrators in the organization and the public who are funding the organization a sense of where revenue is going.
In this Discussion, you analyze an organization's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) and explain its value to the organization.
Review this weekâs Learning Resources and reflect on the responsibility of government organizations to provide accurate financial reports to the public. Then, select a public organization and a specific CAFR from the selected organization. Public organization budgets are required by law to be available. An Internet search will yield an annual budget for your specific organization.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 4
Post a brief description of the organization you selected. Then, provide an analysis of that organizationâs CAFR. In your analysis, explain what the report tells the stakeholders of the organization and the value of the report to the organization.
Be sure to support your posting and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Â
2. Which of the following examples illustrates research as it is described in your textbook?
Sally is writing a paper about the effects of the Harry Potter books on the reading habits of fourth graders in the United States and United Kingdom. She goes to a research library to find information to include in her paper.Ian wants to know why the population of songbirds has declined in recent years in the Sutton Wilderness Area. He carefully collects soil and water samples, systematically surveys the entire area for predators, and then sits down to make sense of his findings.Leonard is starting a woodworking business and is not sure how to calculate the cost of his labor so he can be both profitable and fair to the customers. He asks several established business owners how they calculate labor changes.Bill is doing a report on the sonnets of Shakespeare. He carefully reads a number of sonnets and then carefully reads scholarly reviews of those same sonnets written by various Shakespeare scholars. He synthesizes all of this information in his report.
Â
3. Research is considered cyclical because:the researcher articulates the goals of the project and then collects data to solve a particular problem.questions lead to data collection which leads to interpretations and then to new problems.it has a number of steps that should be followed in order.it is based on solving problems and subproblems in a systematic, unbiased way.
Â
4. Cameron is conducting a study that addresses the differences in achievement scores between schools that use block scheduling and schools that use a traditional scheduling format. He has accessed average achievement scores for 1200 schools and now is comparing the two groups. In which research step is Cameron engaged?Recognize and identify a problemInterpret the meaning of the dataAnalyze the collected dataDevelop a specific plan to address the problem
Â
5. Which of the following is most likely a statement made by a qualitative researcher?I would like to interview a few of the participants to understand their training.I would like to give participants a test to determine their skill level.I would like to use teacher ratings to see if the program worked.I would like to control which students get the training so we can compare groups of children that did and did not get training.
Â
6. Which of the following is most likely a statement made by a quantitative researcher?Let's follow the groups for the course of the project and take notes about their social interactions and dialogues.Let's conduct some focus groups with college students about the types of cooperative learning they have encountered in their schooling.Let's compare unit test scores of those who were placed in cooperative groups and those who were not.Let's enroll in a course that uses cooperative groups and observe the nature of the instruction from a student perspective.
Â
7. The philosophical assumption that objective scientific research can uncover true cause-and-effect relationships in the world is known as:empiricismpositivismexperimentationrealism
Â
8. Qualitative researchers most commonly (but not exclusively) align with which of the following philosophical approaches to research?positivismpostpositivismconstructivismempiricism9. A specific mechanism or strategy the researcher uses to collect, manipulate, or interpret data is known as a:research tool.research method.statistical test.theory.
Â
10. Research methodology refers to:the general approach the researcher takes to conducting a research project.a specific device the researcher uses to collect data.the specific theoretical basis of the research project.the statistical tests to be employed in a research project.
Â
11. The primary purpose of inferential statistics is to:organize and summarize the data.turn qualitative data into meaningful numbers that can be interpreted.measure social and psychological phenomena in an unbiased way.help the researcher draw conclusions from the data.12. Kade has spent the past month carefully observing a group of third graders on the playground during recess, taking note of how the students interact with one another. On the basis of these observations, Kade is drawing conclusions about the interaction styles of boys and girls. This is an example of:theory building.deductive reasoning.inductive reasoning.the scientific method.13. Kimberly knows that teenagers often do not make good decisions in areas where they have little knowledge. She also knows that most teens have little knowledge about human sexuality. Therefore, Kimberly believes that teens are likely to make poor decisions about sexual activity. This is an example of:inductive reasoning.theory building.problem solving.deductive logic.
Â
14. Having completed a series of studies for her dissertation, Marianela sits down to brainstorm about possible explanations for her key findings. She can see a variety of ways in which all data work together, and she prepares to write a final chapter in which she presents those ideas. We would most likely say Marianela is engaged in the process of:science.theory building.constructivism.deductive reasoning.
Â
15. The primary reason to seek research articles published in academic journals, rather than those posted by the author on the Internet, is that:they have been carefully selected after an extensive review by experts.they are more likely to follow the scientific method.they tend to focus on the most important topics in the field.they are more objective and show fewer pitfalls in human reasoning.
