Answer: (Suggested order of calculation) Statement of Stockholders' Equity: $15,000 + (c) = $18,000 (c) = $3,000. $8,000 + $3,000 - (d) = $9,000 (d) = $2,000. Income Statement: (b) = $3,000 (from Statement of Stockholders' Equity). (a) - $11,000 - $5,000 - $7,000 = $3,000 (b) (a) = $26,000. Balance Sheet: (g) = $18,000 (from Statement of Stockholders' Equity). (h) = $9,000 (from Statement of Stockholders' Equity). $5,000 + $18,000 (g) + $9,000 (h) = (i) (i) = $32,000. (f) = $32,000 (total assets = total liabilities and stockholders' equity). $6,000 + (e) + $7,000 + $14,000 = $32,000 (f) (e) = $5,000.

233) The four underlying assumptions of generally accepted accounting principles are economic entity, monetary unit, periodicity, and going concern. Consider the following four independent situations. 1. Masterson has provided music cassettes for the past 30 years. Because of the advance in electronic musical devices, customer demand has dwindled over the years to almost nothing in the current year and the company can no longer pay its debts. For the most recent year, the company reports its assets in the balance sheet at historical (original) cost. 2. Phillips Flooring specializes in the installation of wood flooring. The company has the usual business expenses: salaries, supplies, utilities, advertising, and taxes. Mr. Phillips took his wife and two sons to Six Flags. Mr. Phillips reported the airfare and hotel expenses in the income statement of Phillips Flooring. 3. Mama's Restaurant has over 200 stores throughout the Southeast. Approximately 100,000 customers visit its stores each day. Because of the continual nature of dining, the company does not publish an income statement. The company feels that it has an indefinite life and a periodic report would mislead investors. 4. Indian Packaging delivers packages between the United States and India. During the current year, the company delivered 2,000 packages for its American customers totaling $75,000 in revenue. For its Indian customers, the company delivered 1,000 packages totaling 1,500,000 Indian Rupee. The company's income statement indicates that total revenue equals 3,000 packages delivered with no corresponding amount in the income statement.

236) Describe the three fundamental business activities that accountants measure. What account classifications are typically associated with each type of business activity? Answer: Financing activities are transactions involving external sources of funding. There are two basic sources of this external funding–the owners of the company who invest their own funds in the business, and creditors who lend money to the company. Investing activities include the purchase and sale of (1) long-term resources such as land, buildings, equipment, and machinery; and (2) any resources not directly related to a company's normal operations. Operating activities include transactions that relate to the primary operations of the company, such as providing products and services to customers and the associated costs of doing so, like utilities, taxes, advertising, wages, rent, and maintenance. In general, financing activities are associated with long-term liabilities and stockholders' equity (including dividends), investing activities are associated with long-term assets, and operating activities are associated with revenues and expenses.

206) Suppose a company has the following balance sheet accounts: Accounts Land Building Salaries payable Common stock Accounts payable Cash Retained earnings Supplies Equipment

Balances $9,000 ? 3,700 ? 2,600 5,300 11,600 3,200 4,500

Calculate the missing amounts assuming the company has total assets of $40,000. Answer: Building = $18,000; Common stock = $22,100. Feedback: Building: Total Assets ($40,000) = Land ($9,000) + Building (?) + Cash ($5,300) + Supplies ($3,200) + Equipment ($4,500); therefore, Building = $18,000. Total Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity ($40,000) = Salaries Payable ($3,700) + Common Stock (?) + Accounts Payable ($2,600) + Retained Earnings ($11,600); therefore, Common Stock = $22,100.

276) Describe the revenue and expense recognition under accrual-basis accounting. Describe each of the following: (1) revenue recognized before cash is received, (2) revenue recognized after cash is received, (3) expense recognized before cash is paid, and (4) expense recognized after cash is paid. Answer: Under accrual-basis accounting, revenues are recognized at the time a company provides goods and services to its customers. Expenses generally are recognized as costs of running the company are used to help produce revenues. In this sense, there is an implied cause-and-effect relationship between revenues and expense. (1) When a company provides good or services on account, revenue is recognized immediately, even though cash is not collected from the customer until a later time. (2) When customers pay for goods or services in advance, a company defers recognition of revenue until those goods or services are provided to the customer at a later time. (3) When a company has a cost of running the business in the current period (salaries, utilities, or taxes) but does not pay for those costs immediately, an expense is recognized, even though cash is not paid until a later time. (4) When a company pays for costs that will be used for future operations (supplies, rent, insurance, or equipment), the company defers recognition of the expense until those costs are used at the later time. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Accrual-Basis Accounting; Accrual-Basis Compared with Cash-Basis Accounting Learning Objective: 03-01 Understand when revenues and expenses are recorded.; 03-02 Distinguish between accrual-basis and cash-basis accounting.

Answer: Under accrual-basis accounting, revenues are recognized at the time a company provides goods and services to its customers. Expenses generally are recognized as costs of running the company are used to help produce revenues. In this sense, there is an implied cause-and-effect relationship between revenues and expense. Under cash-basis accounting, revenues are recognized at the time cash is received from customers, and expense are recognized at the time cash is paid for costs of running the company. Notice that the timing of revenue and expense recognition matches the timing of cash exchange. Cash-basis accounting is not allowed for financial reporting purposes for most major companies.

281) What is the difference between permanent accounts and temporary accounts and why does an accounting system have both types of accounts? Answer: Permanent accounts represent assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity at a point in time. Temporary accounts represent changes in retained earnings caused by changes in dividend, revenue and expense accounts. The temporary accounts are closed out annually to facilitate measuring income on an annual basis, but the permanent account balances are carried forward from period to period.

219) At the end of March, Weber Productions' accounting records reveal a balance for cash equal to $21,861. However, the balance of cash in the bank at the end of March is only $4,576. Weber is concerned and asks the company's accountant to reconcile the two balances. Examination of the bank statement and company records at the end of March reveals the following information: NSF checks Deposits outstanding

$6,783 7,348

Service fees Checks outstanding

$195 541

In addition, Weber owes one of its suppliers $200. During March, the company's accountant mistakenly wrote the check for $1,200. The check was recorded in the company's records for $200 but processed by the bank for $1,200. Weber has contacted the supplier who has agreed to send a $1,000 refund in April directly to the bank. Finally, a petty cash fund of $2,500 was established during March. This amount was withdrawn from the checking account but not recorded. Required: 1. Calculate the correct ending balance of cash at the end of March. 2. Discuss any problems you see with the company's cash procedures.

Answer: Requirement 1

Bank's Cash Balance Per bank statement Deposits outstanding Checks outstanding Expected refund Per reconciliation

Weber Productions Bank Reconciliation March 31 Company's Cash Balance $4,576 Per general ledger $21,861 +7,348 NSF checks −6,783 −541 Service fees −195 +1,000 Petty cash fund −2,500 $12,383 Per reconciliation $12,383

Requirement 2 The company has a large amount of NSF checks. This indicates that the company's procedures related to acceptance of customers' checks is not reliable. The company should tighten controls over the allowance of payment by check. Deposits outstanding are relatively high. The company should more frequently deposit cash to avoid theft or loss of cash. The amount established for the petty cash fund may be too high. Petty cash provides cash on hand for minor purchases. Having too much cash on hand creates the likelihood that a material amount of cash will be mishandled.

Answer: Two of the highest-profile cases (Enron and WorldCom) of fraudulent financial reporting in 2001 and 2002, as well as other fraudulent reporting by many others, led Congress to pass the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Fraudulent financial reporting was associated with poor social consequences such as bankruptcy, employee termination, reduced salaries, increased workloads, and loss of employee retirement funds, stock options, and health benefits. The major provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act include formation of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), corporate executive accountability, limitation on nonaudit services, retention of work papers, auditor rotation, restrictions related to conflicts of interest, audit committee hires the auditor, and documentation of internal control.

259) By the end of its first year of operations, Gallen Corporation has credit sales of $580,000 and accounts receivable of $200,000. Given it's the first year of operations, Gallen's management is unsure how much allowance for uncollectible accounts it should establish. One of the company's competitors, which has been in the same industry for an extended period, estimates uncollectible accounts to be 3% of ending accounts receivable, so Gallen decides to use that same amount. However, actual write-offs in the following year were 10% of the $200,000 ($20,000). Gallen's inexperience in the industry led to making sales to high credit risk customers. Required: 1. Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts at the end of the first year of operations using the 3% estimate of accounts receivable. 2. By the end of the second year, Gallen has the benefit of hindsight to know that estimates of uncollectible accounts in the first year were too low. By how much did Gallen underestimate uncollectible accounts in the first year? How did this underestimation affect the reported amounts of total assets and expenses at the end of the first year? Ignore tax effects. 3. Should Gallen prepare new financial statements for the first year of operations to show the correct amount of uncollectible accounts? Explain. Answer: Requirement 1 Bad Debt Expense Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

Debit 6,000

Credit 6,000

(Estimate future bad debts) ($200,000 × 3% = $6,000) Requirement 2 Gallen underestimated uncollectible accounts by $14,000. Actual bad debts in the second year were $20,000 and the company estimated bad debts to be only $6,000. Because of this, total assets will be overstated and total expenses will be understated by $14,000 in the first year. Requirement 3 Gallen should not prepare new financial statements for the first year. The fact that actual bad debts in the second year turned out to be different than the amount estimated at the end of the first year does not constitute a reason for re-issuing prior financial statements. Estimation error is an issue inherent in financial reporting.

$1,000,000 5% $10,000 (credit) $240,000

Accounts receivable $1,000,000 Estimated percentage uncollectible 5% Allowance for uncollectible accounts $10,000 (credit) Operating income $240,000 Tatsuo has significant stock ownership in the company; and therefore, would like to keep the stock price high. Analysts on Wall Street expected the company to have operating income of $170,000. The fact that actual operating income is well above this amount will make investors happy and help maintain a high stock price. Meeting analysts' expectations will also help Tatsuo keep his job. Required: 1. Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts using the accountant's estimate of 5% of accounts receivable. 2. After the adjustment is recorded in Requirement 1, what is the revised amount of operating income? Will Ginjo Gallery still meet analysts' expectations? 3. Tatsuo instructs the accountant to instead record $70,000 as bad debt expense so that operating income will exactly meet analysts' expectations. By how much would total assets and operating income be misstated if the accountant records this amount? 4. Why would Tatsuo be motivated to manage operating income in this way?

Answer: Requirement 1

Bad Debt Expense Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

Debit 40,000

Credit 40,000

(Estimate future bad debts) ($1,000,000 × 5% - $10,000 = $40,000) Requirement 2 Revised operating income = $240,000 − $40,000 (bad debt expense) = $200,000. Ginjo Gallery will meet analysts' expectations because the revised operating income of $200,000 is greater than the $170,000 expectations. Requirement 3 Revised operating income = $240,000 − $70,000 (bad debt expense) = $170,000 If Ginjo Gallery records bad debt expense for $70,000 instead of $40,000, assets will be understated and operating income will be understated by $30,000. Requirement 4 By managing operating income downward, Tatsuo is "saving" reported income for the future. If bad debt expense is overestimated this year, then it can be understated next year. Understating bad debt expense next year will overstate operating income in that year.

263) Power Corporation engages in the manufacture and sale of equipment related to alternative sources of energy. During the past year, operating revenues remained relatively flat compared to the prior year but management notices a big increase in accounts receivable. The increase in receivables is largely due to the recent economic slowdown in the commodities market. Many of the company's customers are having financial difficulty, lengthening the period of time it takes to collect on account. Below are year-end amounts.

Age Group Two years ago Last year Current year

Operating Revenue $2,300,000 3,100,000 3,000,000

Accounts Accounts Receivable Average Age Written Off $80,000 13 days $10,000 100,000 11 days 15,000 350,000 27 days 0

Peter, the CEO of Power, notices that accounts written off over the past three years have been minimal; and therefore, suggests that no allowance for uncollectible accounts be established in the current year. Any account proving uncollectible can be charged to next year's financial statements (the direct write-off method). Required: 1. Do you agree with Peter's reasoning? Explain. 2. Suppose that other companies in these industries had similar increasing trends in accounts receivable aging. These companies also had very successful collections in the past but now estimate uncollectible accounts to be 30% because of the significant downturn in the industries. If Power uses the allowance method estimated at 30% of accounts receivable, what should be the balance of the allowance for uncollectible accounts at the end of the current year? 3. Based on your answer in Requirement 2, for what amount will total assets and expenses be misstated in the current year if Power uses the direct write-off method? Ignore tax effects.

Answer: Requirement 1 Power should not use the direct write-off method. Even if no accounts are known to be uncollectible at the time, Peter should estimate future bad debts and record those estimates as an expense (bad debt expense) and reduction in total assets (allowance for uncollectible accounts) in the current year. Requirement 2 Allowance for uncollectible accounts = $350,000 × 30% = $105,000. Requirement 3 If Power uses the direct write-off method, total assets will be overstated and total expenses will be understated by $105,000. Difficulty: 3 Hard Topic: Allowance Method - Estimating in Subsequent Year; Direct Write-Off Method Learning Objective: 05-05 Adjust the allowance for uncollectible accounts in subsequent years.; 05-06 Contrast the allowance method and direct write-off method when accounting for uncollectible accounts.

265) Selected financial data for Strong Health Group and Sturdy Medical Corporation, two companies in the health-care industry, are as follows:

($ in millions) Strong Health Sturdy Medical

Net Sales $1,850 2,100

Beginning Accounts Ending Accounts Receivable Receivable $200 $230 400 380

Required: 1. Calculate the receivables turnover ratio and average collection period for Strong Health and Sturdy Medical. Round your answers to one decimal place. Compare your calculations with those for Tenet Healthcare and LifePoint Hospitals reported in the chapter text. Which of the four companies maintains a higher receivables turnover? 2. How does the receivables turnover ratio reflect the efficiency of management? Discuss factors that affect the receivables turnover ratio.

Answer: Requirement 1

Compared to Sturdy Medical, Strong Health has a higher receivables turnover ratio and a lower average collection period, which means it collects cash more quickly from its customers. The receivables turnover ratio and average collection period for Tenet Healthcare in the most recent year reported in the text are 5.6 times and 65.2 days, respectively. The receivables turnover ratio and average collection period for LifePoint Hospitals in the most recent year reported in the text are 4.3 times and 84.9 days, respectively. Strong Health has the most favorable (highest) receivables turnover ratio of the four companies.

Requirement 2 The receivables turnover ratio and average collection period provide an indication of management's ability to collect cash from customers in a timely manner. A high receivables turnover ratio suggests that managers are selling to customers that have the ability to pay their accounts in a timely manner. The more quickly a company can collect its receivables, the more quickly it can use that cash to generate even more cash by reinvesting in the business and generating additional sales. Factors that could affect the receivables turnover ratio would be managers failing to recognize the financial situation of lower-quality customers, being too aggressive in selling to customers on account, or encountering weak business conditions in the industry which would affect all companies.

268) What does it mean to report accounts receivable at the net amount of cash expected to be collected. Answer: Net accounts receivable is the amount of cash a company expects to collect from its accounts receivable, and it is calculated as total accounts receivable minus an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Net accounts receivable is the amount reported in the balance sheet. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Allowance Method - Establishing the Allowance Learning Objective: 05-03 Establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: FN Reporting/Keyboard Navigation 269) Discuss the differences between the allowance method and the direct write-off method for recording uncollectible accounts. Which of the two is acceptable for financial reporting purposes? Answer: The allowance method requires companies to estimate future bad debts and record those estimates in the current period as a reduction in accounts receivable (using a contra asset account) and an increase in bad debt expense. The direct write-off method makes no attempt to estimate future bad debts. Instead, the reduction in accounts receivable and increase in expense associated with bad debts is recorded only when the bad debt actually occurs. Only the allowance method is allowed for financial reporting purposes. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Allowance Method - Establishing the Allowance; Direct Write-Off Method Learning Objective: 05-03 Establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts.; 05-06 Contrast the allowance method and direct write-off method when accounting for uncollectible accounts.

270) Explain why the percentage-of-receivables method is referred to as the balance sheet method and the percentage-of-credit-sales method is referred to as the income statement method. Which method is typically used in practice? Why? Answer: The percentage-of-receivables method estimates future bad debts based on a balance sheet amount - accounts receivable. The percentage-of-credit-sales method estimates future bad debts based on an income statement amount - credit sales. The current emphasis on better measurement of assets (balance sheet focus) outweighs the emphasis on better measurement of net income (income statement focus). This is why the percentage-of-receivables method (balance sheet method) is the preferable method and most commonly used in practice, while the percentage-of-credit-sales method (income statement method) is allowed only if amounts do not differ significantly from estimates using the percentage-of-receivables method. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Allowance Method - Establishing the Allowance; Percentage-of-Credit-Sales Method Learning Objective: 05-03 Establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts.; 05-09 Estimate uncollectible accounts using the percentage-of-credit-sales method. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: FN Measurement/Keyboard Navigation 271) How is the receivables turnover ratio measured? What does this ratio indicate? Is a higher or lower receivables turnover preferable? Answer: The receivables turnover ratio equals net credit sales divided by average accounts receivable. The ratio shows the number of times during a year that the average accounts receivable balance is collected (or "turns over"). Typically, a higher ratio is a good indicator of a company's effectiveness in managing receivables.

Fulkerson uses a periodic inventory system and believes there are 25 units of ending inventory. However, Fulkerson neglects to make a final inventory count at the end of the year. An employee accidentally threw out 4 units of inventory, leaving only 21 units. Fulkerson is not aware of the lost inventory. Required: 1. What amount will Fulkerson calculate for ending inventory and cost of goods sold using FIFO, assuming it erroneously believes 25 units remain in ending inventory? 2. What amount would Fulkerson calculate for ending inventory and cost of goods sold using FIFO if it correctly knows that only 21 units remain in ending inventory? 3. What effect will the inventory error have on reported amounts for (a) ending inventory, (b) retained earnings, (c) cost of goods sold, and (d) net income (ignoring tax effects) in 2021? 4. Assuming that ending inventory is correctly counted at the end of 2022, what effect will the inventory error in 2021 have on reported amounts for (a) ending inventory, (b) retained earnings, (c) cost of goods sold, and (d) net income (ignoring tax effects) in 2022?

277) Explain the difference in the type of inventory and the flow of inventory for a manufacturing company versus a merchandising company. Answer: Merchandising companies purchase inventories that are primarily in finished form for resale to customers. These companies may assemble, sort, repackage, redistribute, store, refrigerate, deliver, or install the inventory, but they do not manufacture it. They simply serve as intermediaries in the process of moving inventory from the manufacturer to the end user. Manufacturing companies manufacture the inventories they sell, rather than buying them in finished form from suppliers. Manufacturers have three types of inventory: (1) raw materials include the cost of components that have yet to be used in production; (2) work-in-process refers to the products that have been started in production but are not yet complete at the end of the period, which includes raw materials, direct labor, and overhead; and (3) finished goods consists of items for which the manufacturing process is complete. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Types of Inventory Learning Objective: 06-01 Understand that inventory flows from manufacturing companies to merchandising companies and is reported as an asset on the balance sheet. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: FN Reporting/Keyboard Navigation 278) What does the balance of cost of goods sold in the income statement represent? What does the balance of inventory in the balance sheet represent? Answer: The balance of cost of goods sold in the income statement represents the cost of inventory sold during the period. Cost of goods sold is an expense. The balance of inventory in the balance sheet represents the cost of inventory not sold by the end of the reporting period. Inventory is an asset. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Types of Inventory; Multiple-Step Income Statement Learning Objective: 06-01 Understand that inventory flows from manufacturing companies to merchandising companies and is reported as an asset on the balance sheet.; 06-02 Understand how cost of goods sold is reported in a multiple-step income statement.

279) What is a multiple-step income statement? What information does it provide beyond "bottom-line" net income? Answer: A multiple-step income statement reports multiple levels of profitability. Gross profit equals sales revenue minus cost of goods sold. Operating income equals gross profit minus operating expenses. Income before income taxes equals operating income plus nonoperating revenues and minus nonoperating expenses. Net income equals all revenues minus all expenses. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Multiple-Step Income Statement Learning Objective: 06-02 Understand how cost of goods sold is reported in a multiple-step income statement. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: FN Reporting/Keyboard Navigation 280) What are the three primary cost flow assumptions? How does the specific identification method differ from these three primary cost flow assumptions? Answer: The three most common inventory cost flow assumptions are FIFO (first-in, first-out), LIFO (last-in, first-out), and weighted-average cost. These methods provide assumptions as to which inventory units are sold, whereas the specific identification method matches or identifies each unit of inventory with its actual cost. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Inventory Cost Methods - Specific Identification; Inventory Cost Methods - FIFO; Inventory Cost Methods - LIFO; Inventory Cost Methods - Weighted-Average Learning Objective: 06-03 Determine the cost of goods sold and ending inventory using different inventory cost methods. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking/Keyboard Navigation 281) What does it mean that FIFO has a balance-sheet focus and LIFO has an income-statement focus? Answer: Since FIFO assumes the first purchases sell first, the amount it reports for ending inventory (in the balance sheet) better approximates the current cost of inventory. LIFO assumes the last purchases are sold first, reporting the most recent inventory cost in cost of goods sold (in the income statement). Thus, LIFO more realistically matches the current costs of inventory needed to produce current revenues.

282) What is meant by the assertion that the lower of cost and net realizable value for inventory is an example of conservatism in accounting? Answer: Firms are required to report the decreasing value of inventory, but not allowed to report the increasing value of inventory. Conservative accounting implies that there is more potential harm to users of financial statements if estimated gains turn out to be wrong than if estimated losses turn out to be wrong. Therefore, companies typically do not report estimated gains.

Answer: This mistake will overstate net income on the income statement and overstate assets and retained earnings on the balance sheet. If a company initially records an expense incorrectly as an asset, expenses are understated or too small. Since expenses are subtracted from revenues in arriving at net income, understating expenses will overstate net income reported on the income statement. Similarly, recording an expense as an asset will overstate assets on the balance sheet. Retained earnings on the balance sheet will also be overstated due to the overstatement of net income.

238) Why don't we depreciate land? What are land improvements? Why do we record land and land improvements separately? Answer: We don't depreciate land because its service life never ends. Land improvements are additional amounts spent to improve the land such as a parking lot, paving, temporary landscaping, lighting systems, fences, sprinkler systems, and similar additions. We record land improvements separately from land because, unlike land, these assets are subject to depreciation.

Answer: We value purchased intangible assets at their original cost plus all other costs, such as legal and filing fees, necessary to get the asset ready for use. Reporting intangible assets developed internally is quite different. Rather than recording these as an intangible asset in the balance sheet, we expense most of the costs for internally developed intangible assets in the income statement as we incur them.

241) Which depreciation method is most common for financial reporting? Which depreciation method is most common for tax reporting? Why do companies choose these methods? Answer: Most companies use the straight-line method for financial reporting and the Internal Revenue Service's prescribed accelerated method (called MACRS) for income tax purposes. Companies choose straight-line for financial reporting for several reasons. Many probably believe they realize benefits from their plant assets approximately evenly over these assets' useful lives. Another contributing factor is that straight-line is the easiest method to understand and apply. One more important motivation is the positive effect on reported income. Straight-line produces a higher net income than accelerated methods in the earlier years of an asset's life. Most companies choose MACRS for tax reporting to reduce taxable income. MACRS combines declining-balance methods in earlier years with straight-line in later years to allow for a more advantageous tax depreciation deduction.

198) Washington County Airport (WCA) faces three potential contingency situations, described below. The end of the fiscal year is December 31, 2021. Required: Determine the appropriate means of reporting each situation for the year ended December 31, 2021 and record any necessary entries. Explain your reasoning. 1. WCA is suing a national airline. WCA's lawyers confirm that it is probable WCA will be awarded damages of $500,000 in the case. 2. In June, 2021 a worker was injured in an accident and has sued the company for $200,000. Legal counsel believes it is reasonably possible, but not probable, that the outcome of the suit will be unfavorable, and that the settlement would cost the company from $100,000 to $200,000. 3. A suit for $1.5 million was filed by an airline on November 3, 2021. Legal counsel believes an unfavorable outcome is probable. A reasonable estimate of the award payment to the airline is between $500,000 and $1 million. No amount within this range is a better estimate of potential damages than any other amount. Answer: Requirement 1 Washington County Airport (WCA) has a contingent gain that is probable and can be reasonably estimated at $500,000; however, contingent gains are not recorded until the gain is certain. Though firms do not record contingent gains in the accounts, they sometimes disclose them in notes to the financial statements. Requirement 2 The contingent liability is reasonably possible and the amount is reasonably estimable within a range; however, because the loss is not probable, no journal entry for a loss and liability is required. WCA must disclose a description of the contingency in the notes to the financial statements.

224) Valentino's Pizza issues $40 million of 3% convertible bonds that mature in ten years. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into twenty-five shares of common stock. The current market price of Valentino's stock is $35 per share. 1. Explain why Valentino's might choose to issue convertible bonds. 2. Explain why investors might choose to purchase Valentino's convertible bonds. Answer: 1. Convertible bonds sell at a higher price and require a lower interest rate than bonds without a conversion feature. 2. Investors would benefit if the market price of the common stock goes above $40 per share ($1,000/25 shares = $40 per share) assuming the current market price of the bond is $1,000. Example: If the company's stock price goes to $50 per share, the convertible bondholder could trade a $1,000 bond for 25 shares of stock worth $50 per share (or $1,250). Prior to conversion, the bondholder has also received 3% interest on the convertible bond. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Types of Bonds Learning Objective: 09-04 Identify the characteristics of bonds.

245) Super Slides has $20 million in bonds payable. As part of the contractual agreement with bondholders, the company guarantees to keep its debt to equity ratio below 2.0. Super Slides' total assets are $90 million and its liabilities, other than the bonds payable, are $40 million. The company needs additional assets and is considering purchasing these assets by issuing a note payable or by leasing. Required: 1. Calculate total stockholders' equity using the balance sheet equation. 2. What is the debt to equity ratio? 3. Explain the difference between the purchase of an asset by issuing a note payable and obtaining the asset using a lease. 4. Suppose the company can obtain the asset by issuing a $2 million note payable or by signing a lease agreement requiring payments with a present value of $2 million. Will issuing the note payable affect the debt to equity ratio? Will the lease agreement affect the debt to equity ratio? 5. Will issuing the note or entering into a lease cause the debt to equity ratio to be in violation of the contractual agreement with bondholders? Show your calculations.

Answer: Requirement 1 Assets $90 million

=

Liabilities

+

Stockholders' Equity

÷

$20 + $40 = $60 million

=

?

Stockholders' equity must be $30 million ($90 million − $60 million). Requirement 2 Total Liabilities $60 million

÷ ÷

Stockholders' Equity $30 million

= =

Debt to Equity Ratio 2.00

Requirement 3 The purchase of an asset using an installment note allows a company to take legal ownership of the asset and to finance its purchase by promising to pay back the note over time, usually with a stated interest rate. A lease is a contractual agreement by which the lessee (user) agrees to pay the lessor (owner) for the right to use the asset for a specified period of time.

247) What is capital structure? Why would a company choose to borrow money rather than issue additional stock? Answer: Capital structure is the mixture of liabilities and stockholders' equity a business uses. One of the primary reasons a company chooses to borrow money relates to taxes. Interest expense incurred when borrowing money is tax deductible, while dividends paid to stockholders is not tax deductible. Due to tax considerations, debt can be a less costly form of financing. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Financing Alternatives Learning Objective: 09-01 Explain financing alternatives. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking/Keyboard Navigation 248) Why do some companies issue bonds rather than borrow money directly from a bank? Answer: A company that borrows by issuing bonds is effectively by-passing the bank and borrowing directly from the investing public, usually at a lower interest rate than in a bank loan. However, issuing bonds entails significant bond issue costs that often exceed 5% of the amount borrowed. For smaller loans, the additional bond issue costs exceed the savings from a lower interest rate, making it more economical to borrow from a bank. For loans of $20 million or more, the interest rate savings often exceed the additional bond issuance costs, making a bond issue more attractive.

249) Contrast the following types of bonds: (a) Secured and unsecured. (b) Term and serial. (c) Callable and convertible. Answer: (a) Secured bonds are supported by assets pledged as collateral. Unsecured bonds, also referred to as debentures, are not backed by a specific asset. (b) Term bonds require payment of the full principal amount of the bond at a single maturity date. Serial bonds require payments in installments over a series of years. (c) Callable bonds allow the issuer to repay the bonds before their scheduled maturity date at a specified call price. Convertible bonds allow the investor to convert each bond into a specified number of shares of common stock.

How is the amortization schedule different if bonds are issued at a premium? Answer: Cash paid is calculated as the face amount of the bonds times the stated interest rate. Interest expense is the carrying value times the market rate. The difference between interest expense and the cash paid increases the carrying value of the bonds. At the maturity date, the carrying value will equal the face amount. The amortization schedule is similar when bonds are issued at a premium, except that the difference between interest expense and the cash paid decreases, rather than increases, the carrying value of the bonds over time.

251) What are the potential risks and rewards of carrying additional debt? How does additional debt affect a company's return to investors? Answer: Additional debt increases risk. Failure to repay debt, or the interest associated with the debt, on a timely basis may result in default and perhaps even bankruptcy. Other things being equal, the higher the debt, the higher the risk of bankruptcy. Additional debt also offers potential rewards. If a company earns a return in excess of the cost of borrowing the funds, stockholders are provided with a total return greater than what could have been earned with equity funds alone. Unfortunately, borrowing is not always favorable. Sometimes the cost of borrowing the funds exceeds the returns they generate. If a company has returns in excess of the rate charged on borrowed funds, assuming additional debt will result in a higher return to investors. However, if returns should fall below the rate charged on borrowed funds, assuming additional debt will result in lower overall returns to investors.

222) Corporations typically do not start raising capital by issuing stock to the general public. What are the common stages of equity financing leading to an initial public offering (IPO)? Answer: Most corporations first raise money by selling stock to the founders of the business and their friends and family. As the equity financing needs of the corporation grow, companies prepare a business plan and seek outside investment from "angel" investors and venture capital firms. Angel investors are wealthy individuals in the business community willing to risk investment funds on a promising business venture. Venture capital firms provide additional financing, often in the millions, for a percentage ownership in the company. Many venture capital firms look to invest in promising companies to which they can add value through business contacts, financial expertise, or marketing channels. Most corporations do not consider issuing stock to the general public (going public) until their equity financing needs exceed $20 million. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Characteristics of Corporations Learning Objective: 10-01 Identify the advantages and disadvantages of the corporate form of ownership. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking/Keyboard Navigation 223) Describe the primary advantages and disadvantages of a corporation in comparison to a sole-proprietorship or partnership. Answer: A corporation offers two primary advantages over sole-proprietorships and partnerships. These are (1) limited liability and (2) the ability to raise capital and transfer ownership. Because of limited liability, even in the event of bankruptcy, stockholders in a corporation can lose no more than the amount they invested in the company. Because corporations sell ownership interest in the form of shares of stock, ownership rights are easily transferred. An investor can sell his or her ownership interest (shares of stock) at any time and without affecting the structure of the corporation or its operations. A corporation has two primary disadvantages relative to sole-proprietorships and partnerships. These are (1) additional taxes and (2) more paperwork. Corporations have double taxation. Corporate income is taxed once on earnings at the corporate level, and again on dividends at the individual level. Corporations also have more paperwork as federal and state governments impose extensive reporting requirements on the company.

224) Explain the difference between authorized, issued, and outstanding shares. Answer: Authorized stock is the total number of shares available to sell, stated in the company's articles of incorporation. Issued stock is the number of shares that have been sold to investors. A company usually does not issue all its authorized stock. Outstanding stock is the number of shares held by investors. Issued and outstanding are the same amounts as long as the corporation has not purchased any of its own shares. Purchased shares, called treasury stock, are included as part of shares issued, but excluded from shares outstanding. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Accounting for Common Stock Learning Objective: 10-02 Record the issuance of common stock. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking/Keyboard Navigation 225) Explain why preferred stock often is said to have a mixture of attributes somewhere between common stock and bonds. Answer: Investors in common stock are the owners of the corporation because they have voting rights. Investors in bonds are creditors who have loaned money to the corporation. Preferred stock fits somewhere between common stock and bonds. There are other factors where preferred stock falls in the middle between common stock and bonds. For example, the risk and expected return are greatest for investments in common stock followed by preferred stock and then bonds. In contrast, preference for payments of interest and dividends are given first to bonds, then preferred stock, and then common stock.

208) Identify and briefly describe the three categories of cash flows reported in the statement of cash flows. Answer: The three categories of cash flows are operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Operating activities include cash receipts and cash payments for transactions relating to revenue and expense activities, essentially the very same activities reported in the income statement. Investing activities include cash transactions involving the purchase and sale of long-term assets and current investments. Financing activities are cash flows resulting from the external financing of a business such as long-term liabilities and stockholders' equity. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Classification of Transactions Learning Objective: 11-01 Classify cash transactions as operating, investing, or financing activities. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: FN Reporting/Keyboard Navigation 209) Distinguish between the indirect method and the direct method for reporting net cash flows from operating activities. Which method is more common in practice? Which method provides a more logical presentation of cash flows? Answer: Using the indirect method, we begin with net income and then list adjustments to net income in order to arrive at operating cash flows. Using the direct method, we adjust the items in the income statement to directly show the cash inflows and outflows from operations such as cash received from customers, and cash paid for inventory, salaries, rent, interest and taxes. The indirect method is more common in practice, while the direct method provides a more logical presentation of cash flows.

210) Highland Park Homes reports net income of $300,000, and yet its net cash flow from operating activities is a negative $200,000 during the same period. Is this possible? Explain. Answer: It is possible to report net income and negative operating cash flows at the same time. Increases in current assets and decreases in current liabilities both result in net income that is higher than operating cash flows. As one specific example, an increase in accounts receivable of $500,000 would result in net income exceeding operating cash flows by $500,000.

How does this transaction affect operating, investing, and financing activities under the indirect method? Answer: The $1,000 gain on sale of the investment is subtracted from net income in arriving at net operating cash flows. The sale of the investment is also reported as an $11,000 increase to cash flows from investing activities. This transaction has no effect on financing activities Difficulty: 3 Hard Topic: Operating Activities - Indirect Method; Investing Activities; Financing Activities Learning Objective: 11-03 Prepare the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows using the indirect method.; 11-04 Prepare the investing activities section of the statement of cash flows.; 11-05 Prepare the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows. Bloom's: Apply AACSB: Knowledge Application AICPA/Accessibility: FN Reporting/Keyboard Navigation 212) Explain the difference in the calculation of return on assets and cash return on assets. How can cash-based ratios supplement the analysis of ratios based on income statement and balance sheet information? Answer: Return on assets has net income in the numerator while cash return on assets has cash flows from operations in the numerator. Both ratios divide by average total assets. Analysts often supplement their investigation of income statement and balance sheet amounts with cash flow ratios. Some cash flow ratios are derived by substituting net cash flows from operating activities in place of net income. Cash flow ratios offer additional insight in the evaluation of a company's profitability and financial strength.

Requirement 3 Based on the ratios calculated, the company's overall risk improved in 2022. The receivables turnover ratio, the inventory turnover ratio, and the current ratio all increased, while the debt to equity ratio decreased from 2021 to 2022. These are all positive signs of less risk for the company. Based on the ratios calculated, the company's overall profitability improved in 2022. The return on assets, profit margin, and asset turnover ratios all increased, while the gross profit ratio decreased from 28.8% to 25.6%. Gross profit measures the amount by which the sales price of inventory exceeds its cost per dollar of sales. One factor that may cause a decrease in gross profit is increased competition in the industry resulting in a lower markup.

209) Explain the difference between vertical and horizontal analysis. Answer: For vertical analysis, we express each item as a percentage of the same base amount, such as a percentage of sales in the income statement or as a percentage of total assets in the balance sheet. We use horizontal analysis to analyze trends in financial statement data, such as the dollar amount of change and the percentage change, for one company over time.

Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking/Keyboard Navigation 210) Explain why ratios that compare an income statement account with a balance sheet account should express the balance sheet account as an average of the beginning and ending balances. Answer: We measure income statement accounts over a period of time (like a video), while we measure balance sheet accounts at a point in time (like a photograph). Therefore, ratios that compare an income statement account with a balance sheet account should express the balance sheet account as an average of the beginning and ending balances.

Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking/Keyboard Navigation 211) Sideline Sports Products reports a return on assets of 6%, and a return on equity of 10%. Why do these two ratios differ? Answer: The return on assets and the return on equity differ due to financial leverage – the amount of debt a company carries. If a company earns a return on investment about the interest cost of borrowing, then the additional debt will benefit investors in the company. The result, as is the case for Sideline Sports Products, is that the return on equity will exceed the return on assets.

212) Define earnings persistence. How does earnings persistence relate to the reporting of discontinued operations? Answer: Earnings persistence is the ability of current earnings to continue or persist into future years. Certain items are part of net income in the current year but are not expected to persist. We refer to these as one-time income items. A primary example is discontinued operations. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Earnings Persistence and One-Time Income Items Learning Objective: 12-05 Distinguish persistent earnings from one-time items.

Provide an example of a conservative accounting practice and explain why this practice is conservative. Provide an example of an aggressive accounting practice and explain why this practice is aggressive. Answer: Conservative accounting practices are those that result in reporting lower income, lower assets, and higher liabilities. In contrast, aggressive accounting practices result in reporting higher income, higher assets, and lower liabilities. A larger estimation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts, the write-down of overvalued inventory, the use of a shorter useful life for depreciation, and the recording of a contingent litigation loss are all examples of conservative accounting. They are conservative because all of these practices report lower net income. A lower estimation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts, waiting to report an inventory write-down, choosing a longer useful life for depreciation, and waiting to record a litigation loss all are examples of more aggressive accounting. They are aggressive because all of these practices report higher net income.

This price represents a market rate of 6% on bonds that have a face amount of $100,000, have a stated rate of 5%, pay semiannual interest, and mature in 7 years. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the bonds has increased to $95,000. Assuming the investment is classified as trading securities, calculate the unrealized holding gain or loss recognized in the income statement in 2021. A) $648 gain. B) $317 gain. C) $5,000 loss. D) No gain or loss is recognized in the income statement. Answer: B Explanation: Interest payment = $100,000 × 5% × 1/2 = $2,500. Interest revenue = $94,352 × 6% × 1/2 = $2,831. Amortization of discount = $2,831 − $2,500 = $331. Amortized cost = $94,352 + $331 = $94,683. Unrealized holding gain = $95,000 − $94,683 = $317.

It is not intended to be an example of complete student response. It might be helpful to provide detailed instructions to students on how brief or in depth you want their answers to be. Companies can gain from the increase in the value of their investment. Even without receiving dividends, investors still benefit when companies reinvest earnings, leading to even more profits in the future, and eventually higher stock prices. Many companies also make investments for strategic purposes to develop closer business ties, increase market share, or expand into new industries. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Why Companies Invest in Other Companies Learning Objective: D-01 Explain why companies invest in other companies. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking/Keyboard Navigation 78) Investments in equity securities for which the investor has insignificant influence over the investee are classified for reporting purposes under the fair value method. How do we report unrealized holding gains and losses for these securities? Answer: The following answer points out the key phrases that should appear in students' answers. It is not intended to be an example of complete student response. It might be helpful to provide detailed instructions to students on how brief or in depth you want their answers to be. These securities are reported at fair value, and resulting holding gains and losses are included in the determination of net income for the period.

79) Under what circumstances do we use the equity method to account for an investment in stock? Explain how we record dividends received from an investment in a company accounted for using the equity method. Answer: The following answer points out the key phrases that should appear in students' answers. It is not intended to be an example of complete student response. It might be helpful to provide detailed instructions to students on how brief or in depth you want their answers to be. The equity method is used when an investor can't control, but can "significantly influence" the investee. For example, if effective control is absent, the investor still might be able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee if the investor owns a large percentage of the outstanding shares relative to other shareholders. By voting those shares as a block, the investor often can sway decisions in the direction desired. We presume, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that the investor exercises significant influence over the investee when it owns between 20% and 50% of the investee's voting shares. The investor should account for dividends from the investee as a reduction in the Investments account. Since investment revenue is recognized as the investee earns it, it would be inappropriate to recognize revenue again when earnings are distributed as dividends. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Equity Investments with Significant Influence Learning Objective: D-03 Account for investments in equity securities when the investor has significant influence. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: FN Measurement/Keyboard Navigation 80) Discuss the meaning of consolidated financial statements. When is it appropriate to consolidate financial statements of two companies? Answer: The following answer points out the key phrases that should appear in students' answers. It is not intended to be an example of complete student response. It might be helpful to provide detailed instructions to students on how brief or in depth you want their answers to be. Consolidated financial statements combine the parent and subsidiary operating activities as if the two companies were a single reporting company, even though both companies continue to operate as separate legal entities. It is appropriate to consolidate financial statements of two companies when the parent company owns a controlling interest (more than 50%) in the voting stock of the subsidiary. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Equity Investments with Controlling Influence Learning Objective: D-04 Account for investments in equity securities when the investor has controlling influence.

81) Investments in debt securities are classified for reporting purposes in one of three categories. List these three categories and explain which investments are included in each category. Also, briefly describe how the reporting differs for each category. Answer: The following answer points out the key phrases that should appear in students' answers. It is not intended to be an example of complete student response. It might be helpful to provide detailed instructions to students on how brief or in depth you want their answers to be. Investments in debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale securities. Held-to-maturity securities are debt securities that the company expects to hold until they mature, which means until they become payable. Trading securities are securities that the investor expects to sell in the near future. These investments are adjusted to fair value with the unrealized gain or loss included in net income. Available-for-sale securities are investments that do not fit the other two categories; they are not expected to be sold in the near future, yet they are not expected to be held to maturity either. These investments are adjusted to fair value with the unrealized gain or loss included in comprehensive income. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Debt Investments Learning Objective: D-05 Account for investments in debt securities.

48) Describe at least five reasons why accounting practices differ across countries. Which reason do you think is most important? Explain why. Answer: The following answer points out the key phrases that should appear in students' answers. It is not intended to be an example of complete student response. It might be helpful to provide detailed instructions to students on how brief or in depth you want their answers to be. Financial accounting standards and practices differ from country to country for many reasons, including different legal systems, the influence of tax laws, sources of financing, inflation, culture, political influence of other countries, and the level of economic development. See Illustration E-1 in the textbook for further details. Legal system (common law vs. code law) is often used as a way to describe overall differences in accounting practices between countries. Common-law countries, such as the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Canada, have separate rules for financial accounting and tax accounting, rely more on equity financing, and have political and economic ties with Britain. Code-law countries such as those in Central Europe and Japan have similar rules for financial accounting and tax accounting, rely more on debt financing, and many have political and economic ties with Germany.
