An assumption by accountants that a business will operate in the foreseeable future unless specific evidence that this is not a reasonable assumption exists, such as impending bankruptcy. Since assets of the business were acquired for use and not for resale, estimated current market prices or appraisal values are of less importance than if these items were intended for sale.Objectivity principle. Accounting measurements should be based upon dollar amounts that are factual and subject to independent verification. Historical cost of assets is objective; estimated market values or appraisals change over time and are not factual or objective.Stable-dollar assumption. An assumption by accountants that the dollar is a stable unit of measure. This assumption permits reporting assets at cost, even though individual assets may have been acquired in different years. 4) (A) Liquidity(B) Going concern assumption(C) Assets(D) Liabilities(E) Accounting equation(F) Cost principle(G) Owners' equity 5) (A) $990,000 increase (B) $2,160,000 (C) $535,000 A.

Assets are ordinarily presented in their order of “permanence,” starting with cash. Next are other assets that are close to cash (e.g., receivables from customers), followed by more permanent assets like equipment, buildings, and land, which is considered the most permanent asset. Liabilities are usually presented in the order in which they become due. Revenue and Rent Expense do not appear in a balance sheet; both appear on the income statement. 9) A. Total assets = $995,000 B. Total liabilities = $530,000 C. Owners' equity = $465,000A. Total assets: $700,000 + $165,000 + $360,000 − $160,000 − $70,000 + $54,000 − $54,000 = $995,000 B. Total liabilities: $400,000 + $200,000 − $70,000 = $530,000 C. Owners' equity: $300,000 + $165,000 = $465,000 (or $995,000 − $530,000 = $465,000) 10) A.Total assets = $1,010,000 B.Total liabilities = $450,000 C.Owners' equity = $560,000A.

9) (A) The phrase "double-entry" refers to the need for both debit entries and credit entries, equal in dollar amount, to record every transaction. As a result of this double-entry system, the accounting equation always remains in balance. (B) This transaction is recorded with a debit to the asset Equipment for $6,000, a credit to the asset Cash for $3,000, and a credit to a liability Accounts Payable for $3,000. This accounting demonstrates that the transaction is recorded by an equal dollar amount ($6,000) of debit entries and credit entries. The accounting equation remains in balance: total assets have increased by $3,000 and total liabilities have increased by $3,000 as a result of this transaction. 10) Date 20__ March 1

There are many situations in which a cash receipt represents revenue of two or more accounting periods, or a cash payment covers expenses of several accounting periods. The purpose of adjusting entries is to ensure that revenue and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis, regardless of when a cash receipt or payment occurs. Revenue is to be recognized when earned; expenses are to be recorded when related goods and services are used. An adjusting entry is required for each transaction that involves either revenue or expense of more than one accounting period. 2) Examples may vary. (1). To convert assets to expenses as they are consumed. Example: Depreciation. (2). To convert liabilities to revenue as they become earned. Example: Unearned revenue. (3). To accrue unpaid expenses. Example: Salaries earned, but not paid. (4). To accrue uncollected revenue. Example: Service revenue earned, but not collected. 3) (a) Contra-asset (b) Accumulated depreciation (c) Unearned revenue (d) None (Book value is based on cost, not estimated current market value.) (e) Adjusting entries (f) Prepaid expense (g) Accrued revenue Version 1

(B) The concept of materiality should simplify the adjusting process because it allows accountants to use estimated amounts and even to ignore other accounting principles if the results do not have a material effect upon the financial statements. (C) Students are required to provide one illustration; several are listed below:Low-cost assets may be charged directly to expense.Some expenses such as utilities are charged to expense as the bills are paid, rather than when services are used, even though this practice technically violates the matching principle. Some adjusting entries may be ignored for immaterial dollar amounts.Adjusting entries may be based upon estimates if the amount of error is likely to be immaterial. Version 1

5) (A) The principle of adequate disclosure means that financial statements should be accompanied by any information necessary for the statements to be interpreted properly. Most disclosures appear within several pages of notes (or footnotes) that accompany the financial statements.(B) Drafting footnotes requires an in-depth understanding of the company and its operations. As there is no comprehensive list of information that must be disclosed and the content of the notes often is not drawn directly from the accounting records, the adequacy of disclosure is dependent upon the accountants' professional judgment. This professional judgment is used in selecting those items for disclosure that an intelligent person would consider necessary to properly interpret the financial statements.(C) A publicly held corporation is generally required to disclose the following types of information. (Students are required to list only five types.) Accounting methods in use.Due dates of major liabilities.Lawsuits pending against the business.Scheduled plant closings.Governmental investigations into the safety of the company's products or the legality of its pricing policies.Significant events occurring after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are actually issued.Specific customers that account for a large portion of the company's business.Unusual transactions or conflicts of interest between the company and its key officers. 6) Date GENERAL JOURNAL December 31 Year 1 Sales Commissions Earned December 31

11) Students' answers should address most of the following points set forth below. Perpetual inventory system:Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold accounts are kept continuously up-to-date, reflecting the effects of the merchandising transactions as they occur.The system requires recording the cost of sales transactions on a timely basis. Often, this is practicable only with a computer-based accounting system.This method is used by virtually all businesses with extensive interim reporting requirements (publicly owned companies), or which must continuously know the quantities of various types of merchandise on hand. Periodic inventory system:No effort is made to keep the Inventory account up-to-date, or to record the cost of goods sold as sales take place.The amounts of inventory on hand and the cost of goods sold are not determined until a complete physical inventory is taken, usually only at year-end. The method is used primarily by small businesses with manual accounting systems, and with few external reporting requirements.

Version 1

12) Students' answers should address most of the following points: (A) A jewelry store probably would maintain a perpetual inventory system for the following reasons:Items have different per-unit costs. Therefore, management needs detailed information about the cost of specific units sold in order to properly measure income.Because the items are expensive and subject to theft, management needs detailed records of the items in inventory and their cost, to recognize when shrinkage losses occur, to measure such losses, and to support theftinsurance claims.Because the volume of sales transactions is relatively low, it would not be difficult or costly to maintain a perpetual inventory system.(B) A roadside vegetable stand probably would maintain a periodic inventory system for the following reasons:Management has no need of perpetual inventory records to see what is in stock.It would be difficult to determine the per-unit cost of vegetables, as they probably are purchased in bulk. Also, it would be impractical to record the cost of each sales transaction.The company does not need an elaborate accounting system; it probably has no external reporting requirements other than income tax returns. 13) The owner would be well advised to use a periodic inventory system. Sales during the store's busy seasons are occurring in high volume and are individually of low value. Up-to-date information regarding the cost of goods sold and the value of the existing inventory would not seem to be worth the cost of installing point of sale terminals. A manual perpetual system would impose time costs that would likewise be difficult to justify in terms of the value of the information obtained. 14) Transaction Example: Sold merchandise for cash A

17) The gross profit rate of a particular product is determined as follows: %media:formula1.mml% Most businesses seek to maximize sales of those products with the highest gross profit rates (profit margins). Therefore, the store manager wants customers to be aware of these products, and to see them in an appealing setting. The manager logically would feature high-margin products in the window displays. Also, the manager will locate highmargin products where they will be seen by all customers such as on the main floor, near the main entrance. Low-margin items usually are displayed in space off of the main traffic areas, such as the top floor, corners of the store, and the "bargain basement." 18) (A) $65,250(B) 218 (rounded)(C) $85,000(D) The policy of selling computers at cost appears modestly successful, increasing the monthly gross profit from $65,250 to $85,000. There are two factors leading to the success of this strategy. The first is an increase in sales transactions to 250 computer sales per month instead of 150. But as shown in part b, an increase to 250 sales per month would not in itself make this strategy successful since the computers are being sold at cost (no gross profit). The reason that total monthly profit margin increased is that the average customer is now buying more software. A

*Note to Instructor: Exchanging marketable securities (adjusted to current market value) for an equal amount of cash has no effect upon current assets. The journal entry to record the sale, however, removes the original cost of the securities in exchange for a smaller amount of cash in a loss situation. The overall effect is not evident until the fair value accounting adjustment is made at the end of the period. Therefore, you may wish to accept the answer Decrease with respect to those students who analyze only the sale transaction journal entry in determining their answer. 5) (a) Factoring (b) Allowance for doubtful accounts (c) Bank reconciliation (d) Fair value accounting (e) Financial asset (f) None (The accounts receivable turnover is computed by dividing net credit sales by average accounts receivable.)

8) (A) Students may choose two of the following:Separate the function of handling cash from the maintenance of accounting records. Employees who handle cash should not have access to the accounting records, and accounting personnel with access to cash records should not handle cash.Prepare cash budgets (or forecasts) of planned cash receipts, cash payments, and cash balances, scheduled month-by-month for the coming year.Prepare a control listing of cash receipts at the time and place the money is received.Require that all cash receipts be deposited daily in the bank. (B) Student may choose two of the following:Make all payments by check. The only exception should be for small payments to be made in cash from what is often referred to as a petty cash fund.Require that every expenditure be verified before a check is issued in payment. Separate the function of approving expenditures from the function of signing checks.Promptly reconcile bank statements with the accounting records. The person who reconciles the bank statements should not physically handle cash.

9) (A) (1) Cash equivalents are very short-term investments that are so liquid that they are considered equivalent to cash. Examples include money market funds, U.S. Treasury bills, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper. These investments must mature within three months of acquisition.(A) (2) In the current asset section of the balance sheet, assets are listed in the order of their liquidity. Cash (and cash equivalents) is listed first because it is the most liquid asset owned by a business.(B) Neither the amount on the bank statement nor the balance in the accounting records is the appropriate amount to include in the balance sheet with respect to this bank account. The amount to be included in cash reported in the balance sheet is the adjusted cash balance determined in the bank reconciliation, and which usually is different from both the balance per bank statement and the balance per depositor's records. 10) Items B (1) Collection of a note receivable which you left with the bank for collection; proceeds were deposited in your account. D (2) Deposit in transit at month-end. A (3) Bank service charges. C (4) Checks outstanding at month-end. A (5) Customer check deposited in the bank but returned as NSF.

16) (A) Investments in marketable equity securities appear in the balance sheet at their current market values as of the balance sheet date. Using fair value accounting, the balance sheet valuation is adjusted to market value at the balance sheet date. (B) Fair value accounting valuation represents a departure from the cost principle, since the investment in marketable securities is reported at current market value. The fair value accounting valuation is consistent with the objectivity principle. Marketable equity securities are traded daily on organized securities exchanges and they can be purchased or sold immediately at quoted market prices. These market prices are the basis for the fair value accounting valuation adjustments and are both objective and readily verifiable. (C) The Unrealized Holding Loss on Investments account balance represents the difference (as of the balance sheet date) between the cost and the current market value of the portfolio of marketable securities owned. This account reduces net income in the same manner as a loss from the sale of marketable securities. 17) (A)Balance Sheet Current Assets: Marketable Securities (cost $350,000)

$ 395,000

(B) Unrealized Holding Gain on Investments = Current Market Value of $395,000 − Cost of $350,000 = $45,000This unrealized holding gain increases net income in the same manner as a gain from the sale of marketable securities.(C) (1) Sales proceeds of $100,000 − Cost of $50,000 (or 5,000 share sold × $10 per share) = $50,000 gain(C) (2) Sales proceeds of $45,000 − Cost of $50,000 (or 1,000 share sold × $50 per share) = ($5,000 loss)(D) At December 31, Year 2

An account receivable that has been determined to be uncollectible is no longer an asset. A business suffers a loss from an uncollectible account because it has provided services or exchanged merchandise for an asset (the account receivable) that now is worthless.(B) This statement is false.

26) There are a number of reasons that a company would accept a note receivable in lieu of an account receivable for the same amount. First, the note receivable is more formal, legal evidence of the receivable. Second, the note includes interest, which would ordinarily not be the case with an account receivable. Third, if the maker of the note is an established customer, the payee may want to retain that company’s business and be willing to delay payment another 90 days while the maker of the note is able to obtain the funds needed to make payment.

In the annual audit of a company by a CPA firm, the independent auditors will verify, or confirm, receivables by communicating directly with the customers of the company. This confirmation process is designed to provide evidence that the customers actually exist, and that they acknowledge owing the amount of the receivable to Modern Books. The CPA firms frequently verify the credit ratings of those customers owing significant amounts.(B) The accounts receivable turnover rate is computed by dividing annual net sales (ideally net credit sales) by average accounts receivable. This accounts receivable turnover rate indicates how many times the receivables were converted into cash during the year, i.e., how many times they were collected.

Therefore, this asset appears in the balance sheet at an amount more closely approximating its current replacement cost.(b) During periods of rising inventory replacement costs, the LIFO method results in the lowest valuation of inventory and measurement of net income. Therefore, LIFO (used by Company Y) is regarded as the most conservative of the inventory pricing methods. FIFO, on the other hand, is the least conservative method.(c) By reporting a higher cost of goods sold than results from other inventory valuation methods, the LIFO method (used by Company Y) usually results in lower taxable income.(d) By reporting a lower cost of goods sold than results from other inventory valuation methods, the FIFO method (used by Company X) usually results in higher net income.

6) (A) In large part, the decision of whether to use specific identification or a cost flow assumption depends upon the nature of the inventory. If the individual items comprising the inventory are unique, specific identification is the logical choice. If the inventory consists of items similar in cost, function, and sales value, either specific identification or a cost flow assumption may be used. A cost flow assumption usually is used in these circumstances, as this eliminates the need for tracing each item sold into the accounting records to determine its specific cost. Also, cost flow assumptions may accomplish specific managerial objectives, such as minimizing income taxes, more effectively than would specific identification. (B) The decision of whether to use LIFO or FIFO depends upon management's financial reporting objectives. In a period of rising prices, LIFO will assign more recent (and higher) costs to the cost of goods sold, therefore minimizing reported income. For this reason, LIFO is popular for income tax purposes. However, the IRS requires companies that use LIFO for income tax purposes also to use the LIFO method in their financial statements. The FIFO method, in contrast, assigns older (and lower) costs to the cost of goods sold, thereby enabling the company to report a higher gross profit. This method may be preferred by a management that is concerned with creating a superficial impression of profitability. 7) (a) 12 units @ $39 = $468 (b) 12 units @ $25 = $300 8) Date 20__

A) The cost of a plant asset includes all expenditures that are reasonable and necessary for acquiring the asset and bringing it to the desired location and ready for use. However, only the reasonable and necessary costs are included in the cost of a plant asset. Cost of: Land = $262,800 + $20,000 + $8,500 + $12,500 + $3,500 + $2,500 = $309,800 Building = $102,200 + $6,750 + $1,300 = $110,250 Land improvements = $7,000 + $9,250 + $750 = $17,000 (B) Depreciation expense: Building = $110,250 × 2/20 × ½ = $5,513 Land Improvements = $17,000 × 2/60 = $567 4) Transaction (A)

Interest charges after the asset is ready for use are recorded as interest expense, not as part of the cost of the asset. 5) Capital expenditures are recorded as assets on the balance sheet and are depreciated over time, eventually becoming an expense on the income statement. Revenue expenditures are recorded as an expense on the income statement in the current period. 6) (A) By increasing the estimated useful life of depreciable assets, management reduces the amount of depreciation expense recognized for the current year. Therefore, this change in estimated useful life will increase the amount of net income reported for the current year. (B) The recognition of depreciation expense involves no immediate cash outlay. Therefore, changing the assumptions underlying the computation of depreciation expense has no effect upon cash flows of the current period. (C) The useful life used to depreciate assets in financial statements has no effect upon the depreciation reported for tax purposes or, therefore, upon taxable income. For tax purposes, Flysafe Airlines will continue to depreciate its aircraft over the stipulated Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) recovery period.

16) The gain or loss on disposal of a plant asset for financial reporting purposes is the difference between the sales price and the asset's book value. For tax purposes, the gain or loss is the difference between sales price and the asset's tax basis. Because different depreciation methods generally are used for financial reporting purposes and tax purposes, book value and tax basis often are different amounts. This, in turn, leads to different amounts of gain or loss upon disposal of the asset. Most companies use straight-line depreciation for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods such as MACRS in their income tax returns. Thus, tax basis tends to be lower than book value, resulting in a larger gain (or smaller loss) being reported in the income tax return. 17) $5,865,000 Average earnings of Greystone Incorporated Normal earnings (10% × $4,675,000) Excess earnings Goodwill ($297,500 × 4) Net assets Price to be offered for Greystone, Incorporated

19) (A) Goodwill represents an amount that a company paid to acquire certain favorable intangible attributes as part of an acquisition of another company. It represents the amount of the future expected earnings of a business in excess of the earnings normally realized in the industry. (B) Goodwill is recorded in the accounting records only when one company buys another company. (C) Cabot would have computed the amount of goodwill as the excess of the price that it paid to purchase another business over the fair value of the net identifiable net assets that were acquired. The term, net identifiable assets, means all assets except goodwill, minus liabilities. 20) Generally accepted accounting principles currently require that amounts spent for research and development be expensed as incurred. This would result in $5 billion of expenses for R&D over the last three years, which contributed to and may have been responsible for the substantial losses reported by Alert. Because amounts spent on R&D must be expensed, these amounts are not capitalized or reported as assets. In the case of firms heavily involved in R&D activities, there are frequently no dollar amounts, or very insignificant amounts, in the balance sheet representing these companies' most valuable assets. 21) (a) $6,400,000 (b) $4,800,000 (a) Depletion recognized in first year = [($60,000,000 − $12,000,000)/6,000,000 tons] × 800,000 tons = $6,400,000 (b) Cost of goods sold = $8 per ton × 600,000 tons = $4,800,000

The portion of each payment representing interest expense is based upon the unpaid balance of the loan. Since this unpaid balance is reduced each month, the portion of each successive payment representing interest will decrease, and the portion applied to repayment of the principal amount will increase. Thus, the unpaid balance of the loan is repaid at an ever-increasing rate. 8) Payment Number

10) (A) The interest rates available to investors have likely increased since Clear-Air issued these bonds. Bonds provide investors with a return that is fixed in dollar amount. Therefore, as the interest rates available from alternative investment opportunities rise, the price of a given bond issue tends to fall. In summary, bond prices vary inversely with fluctuations in market interest rates. (B) After bonds have been issued, they belong to the bondholders, not to the issuing corporation. Therefore, changes in the market price of bonds subsequent to their issuance do not affect the amounts shown in the financial statements of the issuing company. (However, the FASB presently requires companies to disclose the fair values of financial instruments (including bonds payable) in footnotes to the financial statements whenever the fair value is (1) reasonably determinable, and (2) significantly different from the carrying value in the financial statements.) 11) (A) $800,000 (B) Date December 31

16) (A) A capital/Type A lease is intended to provide financing to the lessee (renter) for the eventual purchase of the property or to provide the lessee with use of the property over most of its useful life. From an accounting point of view, capital/Type A leases are regarded as essentially equivalent to the sale (lessor) and purchase (lessee) of the property. When equipment is acquired through a capital/Type A lease, the lessee includes an asset, Leased Equipment, and a liability, Lease Payment Obligation, in its balance sheet. Lease payments made by the lessee are allocated between Interest Expense and a reduction in the liability Lease Payment Obligation, much like any other series of debt payments. The portion of the lease payment obligation that will be repaid within the next year is classified as a current liability, and the remainder is classified as a long-term liability. No rent expense is recorded by the lessee in a capital lease. The asset account Leased Equipment is depreciated by the lessee over the estimated useful life of the equipment or the length of the lease term, depending on the circumstances surrounding the capitalization of the lease. In an operating/Type B lease, the lessor (owner) transfers to the lessee (renter) the right to use leased property for a limited period of time, but retains the usual risks and rewards of ownership. No asset or liability relating to the lease appears in the balance sheet of the lessee; lease payments are simply reported as rental expense.(B) Operating/Type B leases are sometimes referred to as "off-balance-sheet financing" because neither the asset that is rented nor the obligation for future lease payments appears in the balance sheet of the lessee.

Version 1

17) (A) For Harding Construction, Incorporated, deferred income taxes represent a portion of the current-year income tax expense whose payment is postponed until future periods. Deferred income taxes arise when items of revenue are included in the income statement in the current period, but are not taxed until some future period. Deferred income taxes also arise when expenses recognized in the financial statements are smaller than the expenses deducted in the current year's tax return. In both of these situations, pretax accounting income is larger than the taxable income reported in the current-year income tax return. In general, deferred income taxes arise because the income tax expense recognized for accounting purposes is larger than the amount of taxes owed for the current period (based upon the current-year tax return). In most cases, the existence of deferred income taxes would be regarded as a favorable situation, as it indicates that the cash outlay for income taxes to date is smaller than the amount of income tax expense reported in the income statement. (B) Although some of the income taxes deferred in prior years constantly are coming due, the liability for deferred taxes usually increases as a company grows and prospers. 18) The risk of a future airplane crash is not a loss contingency. Loss contingencies relate to events which have already occurred, but for which the financial impact is uncertain. The risk of a future airplane crash is a potential future loss. Potential future losses are not disclosed in financial statements.

16) The answer should include two of the following features of most preferred stocks that justify the term preferred:Preferred as to dividends: Preferred stock is entitled to receive each year a dividend of specified amount before any dividend is paid on the common stock.Cumulative as to dividend rights: If any or all of the regular dividend on cumulative preferred stock is omitted in a given year, the amount omitted is in arrears and must be paid in a subsequent year before any dividend can be paid on the common stock.Preferred as to assets in event of liquidation: If a business is terminated, the preferred stock is entitled to payment in full of its par value or a higher stated liquidation value before any payment is made to common stockholders. (Although not as common, student may also list conversion privilege as a "preferred" feature of some preferred stock.)

17) (A)(1) Since the market price of preferred stock varies inversely with interest rates, a decline in interest rates would cause the market price of preferred stock to increase.<br> <br> (A)(2) Investors' increased confidence in future profitability of Murdock 's operations would result in a price increase in Murdock 's common stock. An increase in market value of common stock might also result from expected higher common stock dividends in the future or from a decline in interest rates.<br> <br> (A)(3) An increase in the market value of common stock would cause a corresponding increase in the market value of convertible preferred stock.<br> <br> (B) After shares have been issued, they belong to the stockholders, not to the issuing corporation. Increases (and decreases) in the market value of shares after issuance are not recorded in the corporation's accounting records.

Answer Key Test name: Chapter 13 Test Bank (Problem Material) 1) (a) Cash received from customers(b) Financing activities(c) Income statement(d) Operating activities(e) None(f) Investing activities(g) Noncash investing and financing activities(e) Any "expense" reduces net income. Depreciation expense reduces net income; however, it does not reduce net cash flow. 2) No. In an accrual-based accounting system, the balances in the revenue and expense accounts are based upon revenue earned and expenses incurred, not upon cash flows. Therefore, the balances of the ledger accounts must be adjusted to the cash basis in order to determine the items and amounts appearing in a statement of cash flows.It should be noted that in discussing this question in class, it should be pointed out that these adjustments to the accrual balances are made solely for the purpose of preparing the cash flow statement. They are not recorded in the accounting records as are end-of-period "adjusting entries." Many of the general ledger software packages include a routine that quickly prepares a statement of cash flows by adjusting the accrual-based data in the manner discussed in the text. 3) Operating activities X Operating activities Financing activities Operating activities Financing

15) Net income may differ from the net cash flow from operating activities as a result of such factors as:(1) Depreciation and other "noncash" expenses that enter into the determination of net income.(2) Shortterm timing differences between the cash basis and accrual basis of accounting. These include changes in the amounts of accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities.(3) Non-operating gains and losses which, although included in the measurement of net income, are attributable to investing or financing activities rather than to operating activities. 16) In the long run, it is most important for a business to have positive cash flows from operating activities. To a large extent, the ability of a business to generate positive cash flows from financing activities is dependent upon its ability to generate cash from operations. Investors are reluctant to invest money in a business that does not have an operating cash flow sufficient to assure interest and dividend payments. Also, a business cannot sustain a positive cash flow from investing activities over the long run. A company can only sell productive assets for a limited period of time. In fact, a successful and growing business will normally show a negative cash flow from investing activities, as the company normally is increasing its investment in plant assets. 17) − + + 0 − +

21) In its first years of operations, Saxony would have acquired significant amounts of new equipment. Depreciation expense could have been large enough to generate operating losses. However, since this is a non-cash expense it would have had no impact on cash flows from operating activities. The company might also be experiencing nonoperating losses due to its financing activities in early years of operations. Because Saxony has shown an ability to generate positive cash flows from operations, the business has demonstrated the ability to remain solvent. The prospects for future profitability are less clear. Again, however, the increasing cash flows from operations are consistent with strong customer demand and effective management of operating assets. Both of these factors would suggest positive earnings in the future. 22) Gulp-it-Down Coffee Company Worksheet for a Statement of Cash Flows For the Year Ended December 31, 20__ Balance sheet effects: Beginning Debit Credit Assets Balance Changes Changes Cash and cash 160,000 (x) equivalents 20,000 Accounts receivable 380,000 (4) 20,000

5) Paying any current liabilities will increase the current ratio. The company could also consider postponing until after year-end any routine transactions that would reduce current assets, such as the acquisition of equipment or scheduled maintenance and repair expenditures. The sale of existing inventory (or any other current asset) for a price above cost would also cause the current ratio to increase. 6) PHAETON, INCORPORATED Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, Year 2 Net sales Cost of goods sold Gross profit Operating expenses Operating income Non-operating expenses: Interest expense Income before taxes Income tax expense Net income

7) Students should identify two of the following factors:The resources invested in the effort to generate the company's earnings (i.e., size of the company). This consideration indicates the efficiency with which economic resources are employed.The earnings of the company in prior periods. The trend in earnings indicates whether performance is improving or deteriorating.The earnings of comparable companies (in size, as well as in the nature of operations). This comparison provides an indication of the company's ability to compete.

8) (A) Both companies earn similar amounts of revenue, but Simon Hardware has the higher cost of goods sold. Therefore, Garfunkel Foods must have the higher total gross profit and also the higher gross profit rate.(B) Garfunkel Foods has the higher return on assets. Return on assets usually is computed by expressing operating income as a percentage of average total assets. As both companies have similar amounts of total assets, the company with the higher operating income will have the higher return on assets. Garfunkel Foods probably has the higher operating income. As both companies earn similar amounts of revenue and net income, their total costs and expenses also must be similar. Simon however, has a higher cost of goods sold, which is deducted in arriving at operating income. Garfunkel Foods has higher interest expense, but interest is deducted after the determination of operating income. Therefore, Garfunkel Foods probably has the higher operating income of the two businesses. Income taxes is another "non-operating item" which may cause two businesses with similar net incomes to have different levels of operating income. However, both Simon Hardware and Garfunkel Foods are organized as sole proprietorships, and, therefore, do not include income taxes expense in their income statements. 9) (A) Return on average total assets $2,000 ÷ [($6,000 + $6,600) ÷ 2]

12) (A) In deciding where to invest their money, equity investors want to know how efficiently a company utilizes its resources. A common method of evaluating the efficiency with which financial resources are employed is to compute the rate of return earned on these resources. This rate of return is called the return on investment (ROI), and is sometimes referred to as return on assets.(B) ROI is calculated by dividing the annual return (or profit) generated by the investment by the average amount invested.(C) The average amount invested usually is computed by adding the amounts invested as of the beginning and end of the year, and dividing this total by two. If the investment is relatively stable over time, the year-end balance may be used instead of an average. ROI is stated as a percentage of the average amount invested throughout the year. And if the investment in assets were highly variable during the year, a monthly average is preferable. 13) (A) Earnings per share $600,000 − $2,100 ÷ 50,000 = $11.96(B) Price-earnings ratio $32 ÷ $11.96 = 2.68(C) Book value ($160,000 − $30,000) ÷ 50,000 = $2.60(D) Dividend yield $1.80 ÷ $32 = 5.63%(E) Net profit rate $600,000 ÷ $1,200,000 = 50%(F) Return on equity $600,000 ÷ $160,000 = 3.75% Version 1

8) The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the Act) requires that all foreign payments, including improper or illegal payments, be recorded and disclosed. The Act further requires that an adequate system of internal controls be in place to maintain the integrity of the company's assets, allowing only authorized personnel to have access to them.The Act was amended in 1988 to distinguish between influence peddling and facilitating payments. Influence peddling is a type of payment made to motivate the awarding of business that would not otherwise have been awarded. Facilitating payments is a type of payment made to public officials for the purpose of motivating them to undertake an action or series of actions in an expedited manner than they might otherwise. Generally speaking, facilitating payments are not illegal under the Act. 9) Adoption means abandoning the country's current financial reporting standards and replacing them with International Financial Reporting Standards. That is, the original country has chosen to fully adopt the standards exactly as written and promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board.Convergence means changing the country's existing standards so that they will produce financial reports equivalent to International Financial Reporting Standards requirements. That is, the original country has chosen to adapt its current standards to comply with International Financial Reporting Standards requirements.

8) Product costs are the costs of purchasing or manufacturing an inventory of merchandise. Period costs are those costs charged to expense in the period in which they are incurred without regard to the volume of production in that period. The distinction is important because whether a cost is considered a product or a period cost will affect the amount of periodic income. Product costs become a part of the cost of inventory at the end of any period and are carried forward and charged against revenue in the period in which the product with which they are associated is sold. Period costs become an immediate charge against revenue and reduce net income in the period in which they are incurred. 9) a. Productb. Periodc. Periodd. Producte. Productf. Productg. Producth.

5) There are two reasons that a single product firm may choose not to assign actual overhead as it is incurred. First, the need for timely information regarding product costs may preclude waiting until actual overhead cost information is available. Second, if there is a strong seasonal component to either the rate of production or the overhead costs, product costs will display variations completely unrelated to the underlying economics of the production process. 6) For overhead application rates to provide reliable results, any activity base chosen to compute an application rate must be a significant driver of overhead costs. A cost driver is an activity base that can be traced directly to units produced and that serves as a casual factor in the incurrence of overhead costs. In other words, an increase in the number of activity base units (for example, direct labor hours worked) must cause a proportional increase in actual overhead costs incurred. 7) (A) $11,840 ÷ $7,400=$1.60(B) Transaction a.

11) Under-applied overhead refers to the debit balance that results in the Manufacturing Overhead account when the amount of overhead applied to production of the period is less than the total amount of expenditures actually incurred for overhead. In short, the overhead costs incurred have not been fully applied to the production of the period.Over-applied overhead is the credit balance that results in the Manufacturing Overhead account when the amount of overhead applied to production of the period exceeds the actual overhead expenditures for the period. In short, a credit balance in the overhead account indicates that too much overhead has been applied to production. 12) (A) Account Title Finished Goods Inventory Work in Process Inventory

Answer Key Test name: Chapter 18 Test Bank (Problem Material) 1) (a) Process costing system(b) Process costing system(c) Job order costing system(d) Job order costing system(e) Job order costing system(f) Process costing system(g) Process costing system 2) Whether a manufacturing company should use a job order costing system or a process costing system depends upon the nature of the company's manufacturing operations.A job order costing system is used when each unit of product (or batch of products) has unique characteristics that may affect its manufacturing cost. The unique product or batch is called a job, and the costs of completing each job are accumulated separately. Companies that produce a steady stream of nearly identical units, with each unit passing through the same manufacturing process, use process costing systems. In a process costing system, the cost of performing the manufacturing process is determined for a period of time. The per-unit cost of the product is then determined by dividing the cost of performing the manufacturing process by the number of units produced during a specific time period. Assigning the same "average cost" to each unit produced is appropriate, as the units are essentially identical. 3) Transaction (A)

In other words, it is a measure of the work done during an accounting period. It includes work done on beginning and ending inventories as well as work on units completely processed during the period.Because average per-unit costs are computed by dividing total costs by units of production, it is necessary that units of production be expressed in homogeneous terms. Finished units cannot be added to partially finished units to produce a meaningful denominator. If the partially finished units are converted to their equivalent finished units, output is expressed in like terms, and an average per-unit cost can be computed by dividing total cost by the equivalent number of units produced during the period.

8) In a JIT system, materials are acquired and goods are produced "justin-time" to fill customer orders. Thus, production levels are "pulled" by demand, rather than "pushed" in an effort to create demand. The goals of a JIT system are to eliminate (minimize) non-value-added activities, to increase focus on product quality throughout the production process, to cultivate long-lasting supplier relationships, and to carry little or no ending inventories. 9) Investments in appraisal and prevention activities will reduce the number of defective units produced. This will reduce the cost of internal failure in the form of scrap and rework. The cost of external failure such as lost sales and warranty service will also be reduced via enhanced appraisal and prevention activities. 10) Prevention Costs

Answer Key Test name: Chapter 20 Test Bank (Problem Material) 1) (A) Since total variable costs rise (or fall) in proportion to an increase (or decrease) in activity, variable costs per unit of activity remain relatively constant.(B) Total fixed costs tend to remain constant despite increases or decreases in the level of business activity– so long as the level of activity remains within the relevant range. 2) (a) Contribution margin ratio(b) Margin of safety(c) None*(d) Cost driver(e) Break-even point(f) None*(g) High-low method*(c) The statement describes financial statement analysis. Cost-volume-profit analysis requires more detailed data than are available in financial statements and generally is performed by managers, rather than outsiders.*(f) This describes semi-variable costs. 3) The relevant range represents the operating levels (such as between 35% and 85% of full capacity) over which output is likely to vary and for which the assumptions made about cost behavior are reasonably realistic. When the level of activity falls outside the relevant range, assumptions as to the total amount of fixed costs, the variable cost per unit, and the degree of variability of semi-variable costs may no longer be valid. 4) The important relationships shown on a cost-volume-profit graph are changes in revenue, costs, and operating income in relation to changes in the level of business activity. The point at which a business moves from a loss to a profit position (the break-even point) is also shown, but this is relatively less important because the objective of a business endeavor is to earn a high rate of return on investment, not to break even.

10) The company must 1) increase its contribution margin ratio, and/or 2) reduce periodic fixed costs. The contribution margin ratio will increase as a result of a reduction in any unit variable cost. Thus, the company may attempt to reduce the amount of direct labor cost per unit. This could be accomplished by negotiating more favorable wage rates from labor. The per-unit cost of direct materials could be reduced by obtaining price concessions from suppliers. An increase in sales price would also increase the contribution margin ratio. However, it is unlikely that a struggling firm would have the market power to raise prices and maintain market share. Attempts to reduce fixed costs could include disposal of plant assets associated with excess capacity. Efforts to re-engineer the production process might include: reductions in setup time; product simplification intended to reduce ordering, receiving and inspection costs; process improvements to eliminate unnecessary handling and storage; etc. 11) (A) Contribution margin: $200 − $145 − $15 = $40 (500 + 4,000) ÷ $40 = 112.5 (rounded to 113 units)(B) (500 + 4,000 + 1,800) ÷ $ 40 = 157.5 or 158 units(C) Sales (25% additional) Manufacturing costs

11) Currier, Incorporated, manufactures and distributes a large number of products. The costs per unit for one product, a pole, are as follows: Direct materials and direct labour Variable factory overhead Fixed factory overhead

$ 16 11 7

Currier recently decided to buy the pole from another manufacturer for $32 per unit because the unit cost was less than its unit cost of $34. Required: Based solely on the cost data given, evaluate this decision.

12) Widmark Company originally manufactured cell phones at a total cost of $60,000. The phones have since become obsolete due to new technology. The company can sell the obsolete phones to a dealer for scrap for $11,500. Alternatively, the company could rebuild the phones to bring them up-to-date at a total cost of $13,000 and then sell the rebuilt phones for $20,000. Required: Answer the following questions: (A) Should the company scrap them or rebuild the phones? (B) Assume, instead, that the original manufacturing cost had been $50,000 (rather than $60,000) and the company could sell the rebuilt phones for $25,000. Should Widmark scrap or rebuild the phones?

Answer Key Test name: Chapter 21 Test Bank (Problem Material) 1) (a) Relevant information(b) None*(c) Opportunity cost(d) Joint products(e) Sunk cost(f) Out-of-pocket costs(g) Incremental analysis*(b) The statement does not describe any of the terms described in this chapter. 2) (A) (1) Opportunity cost is the benefit foregone by not pursuing an alternative course of action.(A) (2) A sunk cost is an outlay that has been irrevocably incurred at some time in the past; sunk costs cannot be changed, no matter what course of action is taken.(A) (3) An out-ofpocket cost is an expenditure of current funds (cash or other liquid resources) which may not have occurred yet, and which may vary among the alternative courses of action.(B) The only costs relevant to a decision are those costs that vary among the alternative courses of action being considered. Because opportunity costs and out-of-pocket costs vary among the alternative courses of action, these types of costs are relevant in making decisions. Sunk costs are not relevant to decisions because they cannot be changed, regardless of what decision is made. 3) (A) The $310,000 of current fixed cost is a result of past decisions and cannot be changed as a result of the decision at hand. It is therefore a sunk cost. The $320,000, on the other hand, is a fixed cost associated with the proposed addition. This cost has not yet been incurred. Because it is necessary to the proposed addition it is an out-of-pocket cost.(B) The proposed addition will increase operating income by $74,737.Increase in variable costs = $450,000 × ($750,000 ÷ $950,000) = $355,263Increase in sales of $750,000 − Increase in variable costs of $355,263 − Increase in fixed costs of $320,000 = $74,737

5) An American corporation will sell its product in Eastern Europe at any price in excess of the incremental unit cost to produce the product, assuming that it has excess capacity to produce the product and that by so doing, its domestic sales will not be reduced. Such sales, even at significantly lower prices, will generate contribution margin that can be applied to fixed cost or operating income. 6) (A) Variable cost $8.50 + Variable selling costs $1.75 = $10.25(B) (Selling price $12 − Variable cost $10.25) × 2,000 gloves = $3,500(C) Yes, the company should accept the special order because the selling price of the special order covers variable costs and the additional cost of selling, and results in contribution margin of $1.75 per unit. 7) Nielson should repair the defective televisions because operating income will increase by $230,000. Proceeds from sale of repaired TVs (5,000 × $135) Less: Cost of repairs Net proceeds from sale of repaired TVs Less: Scrap value of defective TVs (5,000 × $65)

$ 675,000 (120,000) $ 555,000 (325,000)

Net advantage if TVs are repaired

$ 230,000

8) (A) $62 + ($170,000 ÷ 4,000 units) = $104.50(B) $62 + ($170,000 ÷ 5,000 units) = $96(C) Incremental revenue from special order ($70 × 1,000 units) Incremental costs ($62 variable cost × 1,000 units)

11) The decision was not sound. While Currier's average unit cost of the pole was $34, the variable cost was only $27 per unit. By paying $32 per unit to another manufacturer, Currier is actually paying $5 per unit more than its apparent out-of-pocket cost. Other subjective considerations should, of course, be evaluated, but the question asks for an evaluation only in terms of the cost data given. 12) (A)The original cost of manufacturing the phones of $60,000 has no bearing on the decision since this is a sunk cost.

15) Revenue and cost figures are often based on estimates about the future. As such, they are usually subject to varying degrees of error. Furthermore, most decisions also require an examination of legal requirements, ethical implications, environmental consequences, political concerns, and social issues. Thus, while incremental analysis is an excellent tool for evaluating among decision alternatives, managers should not automatically follow the first course of action offering promise of increased profitability. Rather, they should remain open to the possibility that a more creative, and perhaps more profitable, solution may exist.

11) Satellite Products, Incorporated owns two subsidiaries, Saturn Systems and Neptune Audio. Saturn Systems supplies printed circuit boards used by Neptune Audio in its state-of-the-art stereo radio. Neptune Audio receives 20,000 boards from Saturn Systems annually. Each radio produced requires a single board. The market price of these boards is $40. Their total variable cost of production is $20. The market price of the radio is $105. The unit variable cost of the radio is $30 excluding the cost of the circuit board. Saturn Systems is currently operating at full capacity of 35,000 boards per year (including those transferred to Neptune Audio). Demand for the boards is strong and all 35,000 could be sold to outside customers. Saturn Systems uses the full market price as the transfer price charged to Neptune Audio. The manager of Neptune Audio argues that Saturn Systems benefits from intercompany transfers because of reduced advertising and other selling costs. Thus, he wants to negotiate a lower transfer price of $35.Required: (A) Calculate the contribution margins for the two subsidiaries using the $40 transfer price. (B) Recalculate the contribution margins at the $35 price suggested by the manager of Neptune Audio. What effect would the change in transfer price have on the company as a whole? (C) Suppose that Neptune Audio operates in a country that imposes a 40% tax rate on corporate income. Saturn Systems is located in a country where the tax rate is only 10%. What would you recommend regarding the transfer price charged by Saturn for the boards transferred to Neptune?

1) (A) A profit center generates revenue as well as incurs costs. Examples include a sales department within a store, the store itself, and a sales territory. An investment center is a profit center for which management can make decisions regarding capital investments. Examples include stores, branch offices, and hotels. A cost center incurs costs but does not directly generate revenue. Examples include service departments, such as the accounting department or the legal department that render services to other parts of the business.(B) Profit centers are evaluated primarily upon their profitability; therefore, responsibility income statements are prepared showing the revenue and costs applicable to each profit center. Each center's performance may then be compared with budgeted amounts, with the center's performance in past periods, and with the profitability of other profit centers within the organization. The performance of an investment center may be evaluated using return on investment (ROI) measurements, such as return on assets (operating income or responsibility margin as a percentage of average total assets utilized by the segment during the period).From a financial viewpoint, a cost center is evaluated on its ability to control (minimize) costs. The level of costs incurred is compared to such standards as budgets, costs incurred in prior periods, and the volume of activity within the cost center during the current period. Qualitative considerations are also of great importance in evaluating cost centers. Revenue provides an objective measure of the benefit to the business resulting from the operation of a profit center, but no such measure exists for the benefit derived from the operations of most cost centers. Thus, both the "quality" of the services rendered by a cost center and the "value" of these services to the business are subjective judgments. 2) (a) Common fixed costs(b) Transfer price(c) Performance margin(d) None*(e) Contribution margin*(d) The statement describes investment center.

6) In assigning costs to parts of a business, the following two concepts are generally applied:Costs are classified into the categories of variable costs and fixed costs. When costs are classified in this manner, a subtotal may be developed in the income statement showing the contribution margin of the business center.Each center is charged with only those costs that are directly traceable to that center. A cost is "directly traceable" to a particular center if that center is solely responsible for the cost being incurred; traceable costs should disappear if the center is discontinued. 7) (A) $3,600,000 − $2,970,000 = $630,000(B) $630,000 ÷ $3,600,000 = 17.5%(C) $3,600,000 − $2,970,000 − $270,000 = $360,000(D) ($3,600,000 × 10%) × 17.5% (from Part B) = $63,000 8) Old Jeans, Incorporated Responsibility Accounting Income Statement For the Month of May Entire Company Segments Regular Fit Relaxed Fit

(B) (1) Center 2(B) (2) Since Center 2 has the higher contribution margin ratio, an increase in sales of a given size will generate more contribution margin from Center 2 than from Center 1. (The expected $20,000 increase in sales will generate $6,000 in contribution margin at Center 2, compared with $4,600 at Center 1.) 11) (A) Contribution margins at transfer price of $40:Saturn Systems: ($40 − $20) × 35,000 = $700,000Neptune Audio: ($105 − $70) × 20,000 = $700,000(B) Contribution margins at transfer price of $35:Saturn Systems [($40 − $20) × 15,000] + [($35 − $20) × 20,000] = $600,000Neptune's Audio ($105 − $65) × 20,000 = $800,000(C) The contribution margin for the company as a whole is the same under either transfer price. In order to move as much operating income as possible to the lower tax jurisdiction, Satellite should impose the largest transfer price allowed by law on the circuit boards. This will result in minimizing the taxable income of Neptune Audio and maximizing the taxable income of Saturn Systems. The company's overall tax expense will be minimized. Version 1

Version 1

Answer Key Test name: Chapter 23 Test Bank (Problem Material) 1) Companies must often tie up large sums of cash in direct materials, work in process, and finished goods inventories. As finished goods are sold, cash continues to remain tied up in accounts receivable. Thus, a company may be reporting record profits, yet still experience cash flow problems. 2) The benefits of budgeting are the benefits that come from thinking ahead. Budgeting helps to coordinate the activities of the different departments, provides a basis for evaluating department performance, and provides managers with responsibility for future decision-making. In addition, the budgeting process forces management to estimate future economic conditions, including costs of materials, demand for the company's products, and interest rates.

3) (A) The text identifies the two philosophies as (1) the behavioral approach and (2) the total quality management approach. The behavioral approach assumes that departmental managers will be most highly motivated if they view the budget as a "fair" basis for evaluating departmental performance. Budgeted amounts are set at reasonable and achievable levels that can be achieved through reasonably efficient operations. Failure to stay within the budget is viewed as unacceptable. Under the total quality management approach, the entire organization is committed to the goal of completely eliminating inefficiency and nonvalue-adding activities. In setting perfection as the goal of the organization, budgeted amounts may be set at levels representing absolute efficiency. Even a highly efficient department should fall slightly short of the budget standards. (B) The budget referred to in the quotation embodies the assumptions of the total quality management philosophy of setting budgeted amounts. 4) (a) 7 (or 6)(b) 8(c) 5(d) 2(e) 3(f) 6 (or 7)(g) 1(h) 4 5) A master budget is a group of related budgets and forecasts that, together, summarize and coordinate all planned activities of a business. The master budget usually consists of a sales forecast, a production schedule, a manufacturing costs budget, an operating expense budget, a capital expenditures budget, and projected financial statements. The number and type of individual budgets and schedules that make up the master budget depend upon the size and the characteristics of the business. 6) (A) Direct materials used in January Plus: Direct materials inventory, 1/31 Less: Direct materials inventory, 1/1 Direct materials to be purchased in January

14) A flexible budget is one that may be geared to any volume level; budgeted amounts, therefore, can be based upon the actual (as distinguished from the planned) level of volume attained during a budget period.If management is using budgets as a means of evaluating performance, flexible budget amounts provide a reasonable yardstick for comparison–management can determine easily what costs should have been at the volume of activity actually attained. A comparison between these budgeted figures for any responsibility center and actual results achieved then becomes a reasonable basis for evaluation. Differences between planned and actual volume (which may not be within the control of the person being evaluated) are eliminated from consideration.

3) First, the specific direct labor requirements to produce each product must be identified. Once this has been accomplished, the setting of direct labor standards involves both the wage rate and the amount of time allowed to produce each product. Standard cost systems are influenced by complex relationships related to: cost, quality, prices, industry trends, seasonality, plant capacity, automation, overtime, motivation, and skill levels. The setting of reasonable direct labor standards often requires input from human resource managers, industrial engineers, union representatives, supervisors, cost accountants, and factory employees. Establishing realistic cost standards requires input from many different sources— often including people from outside of the business organization.

5) The primary reason for using any performance measurement criteria such as ROI is to motivate employees to make decisions consistent with the goals and objectives of the organization. ROI motivates managers to earn the highest possible profits while using the minimum amount of average invested capital. Thus, managers who are measured and rewarded only on their divisions’ ROI may decide to increase profits and decrease capital in their divisions in ways that are inconsistent with the best interests of the whole company.The first criticism is the short horizon problem that occurs because managers frequently move from one job to another. As a result, many people believe ROI encourages a short-term orientation to the detriment of longer-term planning. A second problem with using ROI as the only business performance measure is that, under some circumstances, it presents an incentive for a manager to reject a good project that would increase the ROI for the firm as a whole. The project rejection occurs when investing in the project would reduce the division’s ROI. A third criticism of ROI is the inherent difficulty in measuring both the average invested capital and the actual operating earnings associated with that capital. Many units within an organization share invested capital, and often the allocation of capital between those units is arbitrary. 6) Residual income is the amount by which operating earnings exceeds a minimum acceptable return on the average invested capital. Economic value added (EVA) is a refinement of the residual income measure that makes many adjustments for items like taxes, interest, and amortization. Like residual income, EVA does not motivate managers to turn down investments that are expected to earn a return below their current ROI, as long as it is above the minimum acceptable return to the firm.

7) The balanced scorecard is a system for performance measurement that links a company’s strategy to specific goals and objectives, provides measures for assessing progress toward those goals, and indicates specific initiatives to achieve those goals. It is a systematic attempt to create a business performance measurement process that integrates objectives across the span of the value chain. The main objective of the balanced scorecard is achieving the organization’s strategic goals. The balanced scorecard looks at firm performance through four lenses: (1) the traditional financial perspective; (2) a customer perspective; (3) a business process perspective; and (4) a learning and growth perspective. 8) Employees may have goals and objectives that differ from those of the organization. Incentive systems provide a tool that helps align employee goals with those of the organization by drawing attention to the organization's goals, by choosing to measure particular components of performance, and by rewarding employees for the actual outcomes associated with those components of performance being measured. 9) In creating management compensation plans, designers consider multiple characteristics such as fixed salary versus bonuses and the type of bonuses (cash, stock or stock options, for example). In addition, numerous design trade-offs are available such as choices related to the time horizon over which compensation is available, choosing to emphasize local versus global performance, or choosing a cooperative or a competitive incentive scheme.

Version 1

10) Companies using the balanced scorecard have identified several difficulties in using the four lenses described. First, organizations have difficulty assessing the importance or weights attached to the various perspectives that are part of the scorecard. Second, measuring, quantifying, and evaluating some of the qualitative components that are part of the balanced scorecard present significant technical hurdles. A third difficulty arises from a lack of clarity and sense of direction because of the large number of performance measures used in the four perspectives. Finally, scorecard users suggest that the time and expense required to maintain and operate a fully designed and functioning balanced scorecard system can be significant. Organizations can avoid some of these difficulties by limiting the number of measures used in each perspective and focusing on critical business issues. In choosing the measures to be used with the balanced scorecard, management should select those measures that present the best evidence for cause and effect linkages and those that can have a significant impact on achieving the organization’s strategy. At any point in time trade-offs are likely to exist between the various strategic goals identified in the balanced scorecard.

(D) The company should not invest in the new machinery. This analysis indicates that the present value of the new machinery’s future cash flows, discounted at a rate of 12%, amounts to $243,675. This is the maximum amount that the company could invest in these machines and still expect to earn the required annual return of 12%. As the actual cost of the investment is $250,000, the machines have the potential to earn a rate of return that is less than the required rate of return of 12%. 5) (A) $96,000 × 0.621 = $59,616(B) $37,000 × 3.791 = $140,267(C) ($58,000 × 4.355) + ($16,000 × 0.564) = $252,590 + $9,024 = $261,614

(B) From the foregoing analysis, Proposal A appears to be the best investment. As indicated by the higher return on average investment and greater net present value, Proposal A is the more profitable investment. 13) Discounting cash flows takes into consideration the timing of the earnings stream. The return on average investment is based upon average annual earnings and, therefore, does not distinguish between income received early or late in the life of the investment. Discounting cash flows recognizes the "time value of money"—the economic fact that receiving a given cash flow in the near future is preferable to receiving the same cash flow in the more distant future. 14) A company will conduct a capital budget audit in order to guard against overly optimistic or pessimistic estimates in the capital budgeting process. Such estimates arise because employees are frequently evaluated on outcomes that depend on the amount and type of capital investments chosen. If employees realize that a capital budget audit will be undertaken, they will be less likely to furnish biased estimates of quantities central to the capital budgeting calculations.
