An Examination of the Implications of the Exposure Draft "Leases" on Retail Corporations

McLean, Lacey A. 01 January 2011 (has links)
The release of the Exposure Draft Leases by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in August 2010 has brought about much discussion regarding the proposed treatment for lease accounting. The changes proposed include the capitalization of operating leases by lessees, which are currently regarded as off-balance sheet financing. When the proposed changes take place, industries that have substantial off-balance sheet leases currently, such as the retail industry, will face significant adjustments for assets and liabilities, as well as changes in their income statement. This paper quantifies these changes in the retail industry and examines the effect of these changes on each firm’s current debt covenant agreements.

Zonal separation and solids circulation in a draft tube fluidized bed applied to coal gasification.

Rudolph, V. January 1984 (has links)
In this thesis a fluidized bed containing a draft tube has been studied with the aim of developing the apparatus for coal gasification. The process has the capability of producing synthesis quality gas using air for combustion, and of being able to accomodate poor quality coal feeds containing heavy fines loads. These advantages arise from two special features of a draft tube fluidized bed. In the first place, the bed may be operated as two separate and independent reaction zones, one contained within the draft tube and the other in the annulus region surrounding it. As a result, the gasification reactions may be carried out in one compartment and the combustion reactions in the other, allowing the useful gasification products to be taken off separately and undiluted with the combustion flue gases. Secondly, the fluidized material in the bed may be induced to circulate up the draft tube and down the annulus. These circulating solids provide the heat carrier from the combustion to the gasification zones within the bed. Furthermore, circulation of the bed in this way leads to a much longer residence time of fine particles within the bed and results in a high fine coal utilization efficiency. In order to achieve these benefits in practice, it is necessary to separate the gases supplied to and emitted from the draft tube from those of the annulus, but at the same time allowing free movement of solids between these regions. The thesis deals with how this may be accomplished in three parts: Firstly, the principles underlying division of a fluidized bed with a draft tube into discrete reaction zones are formulated, and strategies for achieving zonal separation, based on these arguments, are experimentally tested. As a result a reactor configuration and operating conditions suitable for coal gasification have been empirically identified. Secondly, a model describing the bulk circulation of solid material in the bed is presented, for the draft tube operating in the slugging mode. This model allows the average solids residence time and the particle velocities in the annulus and draft tube to be predicted, provided that slug velocities and spacings are known. The necessary correlations between hydrodynamic behaviour and the system properties are available in the literature for round nosed and wall slugs, but not for square nosed slugs, which appear to be characteristic in the apparatus used here. The third part consequently examines the square nosed slugging regime, and a theory to describe this behaviour, based on interparticle stress analysis, is presented. This regime is identified as having significant advantage over other bubbling modes because of the high dense phase gas flow rates which are sustained, and the resulting improved gas-solid contacting. The three models together mathematically describe the operation of the draft tube fluidized bed, allowing gas partition between the annulus and the draft tube regions as well as solids circulation to be predicted, for different bed configurations and operating conditions. The predictions compare well with experimental results. The last part of the thesis deals with the application of the system to coal gasification on a one ton coal per day pilot plant. A high quality gas, containing up to 80% CO + H2, (balance CO2), has been produced by steam gasification in the draft tube, using air for the combustion reaction in the annulus. The H2/CO ratio can be varied from about 1 to 3, by changing the operating temperature of the reactor. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1984.

Leasingstandarden IAS 17s nya förslag : Hur förslaget påverkar leasing och leasingtagaren

Stifanos, Nenos, Edqvist, Sandra January 2013 (has links)
Forskning kring tillväxten av leasing har idag resulterat i att leasing omfattas av en femtedel av den totala externa finansieringen företag väljer att anskaffa tillgångar på. Ett företags finansieringsmöjligheter sätter prägel på huruvida företag överlever på marknaden idag. Då leasing är ett av de mest attraktiva finansieringsalternativen var det högaktuellt att undersöka vad leasing var samt hur redovisningen skiljer sig åt av leasing mellan företag och länder. Den stora frågan som företag måste ta hänsyn till är om de ska lånefinansiera eller leasa sina tillgångar. Rent teoretiskt är dessa förfaringssätt likartade vad gäller kostnader och betalningsansvar. I praktiken återfinns dock vissa skillnader, vilka användare av redovisningen påverkas av. Skillnaderna består i att redovisningskraven ser annorlunda ut när det handlar om leasing. I IAS 17 baseras främsta kritiken på att leasing kan hanteras och avtalas genom två olika former, som operationella- och finansiella. Eftersom operationella inte tas upp i balansräkningen till skillnad från de finansiella avtalen, valde vi att forska vidare kring vilka effekter detta medför samtidigt hur ett nytt förslag till ny leasingstandard kommer att påverka leasingen redovisningsmässigt.Syftet med uppsatsen var att försöka få oss en djupare förståelse kring hur redovisningen av leasing går till i praktiken samtidigt se vilka konsekvenser det nya förslaget får på redovisningen. Kommer problematiken med sättet att redovisa leasing på att lösas eller kommer det uppstå nya problem? För att inte få en alltför generell bild på vad leasing är valde vi att undersöka problemet utifrån ett redovisningsmässigt perspektiv.Tillvägagångssättet i arbetet har varit en kvalitativ forskningsansats där intervjuer genomfördes med revisorer och redovisningsspecialister samtidigt som elektroniska artiklar användes för att skapa den teoretiska referensramen för att sedan använda tidskrifter, intervjuer och elektroniska dokument för den empiriska delen av studien.Ändringarna i IAS 17s regelverk kommer att kommer att leda till att komplexiteten inom redovisningen ökar. Samtidigt kommer efterlevnadskostnaderna att nå nya höjder då en ny standard innebär ny kunskap därmed enbart insatta personer kommer att ha den kunskapen till en början. Allteftersom kommer nya rutiner att uppstå och därmed en anpassning till en ny standard.Resultatet som erhölls i detta arbete är av värde för externa intressenter då de får ett mer begripligt material som underlättar beslutsfattande med hjälp av finansiella rapporter. Det har framgått att en ny standard kommer att öka komplexiteten inom redovisning av leasing men samtidigt som missbruket av leasingavtalen kommer till en viss del att upphöras. Dock är det viktigt att ha i åtanke att en ny standard inte enbart innebär positiva effekter utan även negativa effekter och dessa i form av att nya problem kommer att uppstå.
