The three-year annuity represents three payments of $500 (= $1,500), so the present value of the annuity is greater. 15) TRUE 16) C 17) B 18) D 19) B 20) A 21) B 22) A 23) A 24) B 25) B 26) B Each of the factors provided in Column 2 is less than 1.00000. The present value (that is, the value today) of a single amount that we will receive sometime in the future is always less than that single amount. So, the present value of $1 factors will always be less than 1.00000 (at any interest rate). Column 1 is an excerpt from an interest table for the future value of an annuity of $1, column 3 is an excerpt from an interest table for the future value of $1, and column 4 is an excerpt from an interest table for the present value of an annuity of $1. 27) A

Each of the factors provided in Column 3 is greater than 1.00000. Annuities consist of multiple payments. Because an annuity is a repeating payment that is made at the end of each period, the future value of that repeating payment is always greater than the amount of each individual payment. So, the future value of $1 factors will always be greater than 1.00000 (at any interest rate). Column 1 is an excerpt from an interest table for the future value of an annuity of $1, column 2 is an excerpt from an interest table for the present value of $1, and column 4 is an excerpt from an interest table for the present value of an annuity of $1. 28) C FV = $22,000 x 1.76234 (Table FV of $1; n = 5; i = 12%) = $38,771 29) A FV = $25,000 × 2.21068 (Table FV of $1; n = 7; i = 12%) = $55,267 30) C FV = $9,000 × 1.80611 (Table FV of $1; n = 20; i = 3%) = $16,255 31) C FV = $8,000 × 1.48595 (Table FV of $1; n = 20; i = 2%) = $11,888 32) C PV = $3,300 x 0.81162 (Table PV of $1; n = 2; i = 11%) = $2,678 33) B PV = $2,500 × 0.77218 (Table PV of $1; n = 3; i = 9%) = $1,930 34) D PV = $5,250 x 0.85480 (Table PV of $1; n = 4; i = 4%) = $4,488 35) D PV = $5,000 × 0.62460 (Table PV of $1; n = 12; i = 4%) = $3,123 36) D

Except for the first factor, each of the factors provided in Column 4 is greater than 1.00000. Annuities consist of multiple payments. Because an annuity is a repeating payment that is made at the end of each period, the present value of that repeating payment is always greater than the amount of each individual payment. So, except for the first factor, the present value of $1 factors will always be greater than 1.00000 (at any interest rate). Since it relates to the first payment, which has not yet repeated, and because we are looking at present value (that is, the value today), the present value factor relating to the first payment that we will receive sometime in the future will always be less than 1.00000 (at any interest rate). Column 1 is an excerpt from an interest table for the future value of an annuity of $1, column 2 is an excerpt from an interest table for the present value of $1, and column 3 is an excerpt from an interest table for the future value of $1. 72) C Annuities consist of multiple payments.

83) The $100 received today can be invested to receive interest. Simple interest is computed only on the initial investment amount. Compound interest includes not only interest on the initial investment, but also interest on the accumulated interest to date. 84) Simple interest is computed only on the initial investment amount. Compound interest includes not only interest on the initial investment, but also interest on the accumulated interest to date. 85) The yield on a CD increases with more frequent compounding periods. Therefore, since both CDs have the same stated rate of 12%, Bank A, that compounds quarterly, offers a better yield than Bank B with semiannual compounding. 86) Present value tells us the value today of receiving some amount in the future. Future value is the value that an amount today will grow to in the future. The difference between the present value and the future value is the time value of money. 87) You need to know (1) the future amount, (2) the interest rate per period, and (3) the number of periods. 88) The present value of a single amount is the value today of receiving that amount in the future; whereas, the present value of an annuity is the sum of the present values of a series of equal cash payments.

15) TRUE 16) FALSE When debt investments are purchased at a discount or premium, the cash interest received is calculated as the face amount of the bonds times the stated interest rate. 17) TRUE 18) FALSE When debt investments are purchased at a discount or premium, interest revenue is calculated as the amortized cost of the investment in bonds times the market interest rate. 19) TRUE 20) FALSE If debt investments have originally been issued for a premium, the amortization of the premium results in a decreasing amortized cost of the investment over time. Because interest revenue equals the current amortized cost times the market rate, the interest revenue on bonds purchased at a premium will decrease each semi-annual interest period. 21) TRUE 22) FALSE Held-to-maturity securities are debt securities that a company expects to hold until they mature. These securities are carried at historical cost (or at amortized cost if the bonds were issued at a discount or premium) and, as such, unrealized gains or losses are not recognized. 23) FALSE We report trading securities as current assets at their fair value, and any unrealized gains or losses are recognized in the income statement as part of net income. 24) TRUE Version 1

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. 85)These securities are reported at fair value, and resulting holding gains and losses are included in the determination of net income for the period.

86)When a company owns between 20% and 50% of the common stock in another company, it is presumed that the investing company exercises significant influence over the investee. Share ownership provides voting rights, and by voting these shares, the investing company can sway decisions in the direction it desires, such as the selection of members of the board of directors or the payment of dividends. This significant influence changes the accounting for the investment. When a company has significant influence over an investee, the company is required to use the equity method. Because we record equity income when the investee reports net income, it would be inappropriate to record equity income again when the investee distributes that same net income as dividends to the investor. To do so would be to double-count equity income. Instead, the investor records dividend payments received from the investee as a reduction in the Investments account. 87) 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.

88) 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.

41)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 United States, United Kingdom, 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. 42) The main objective of the IASB is to develop a single set of highquality, understandable, and enforceable global accounting standards to help participants in the world’s capital markets and other users make economic decisions. 43) LIFO is allowed under U.S. GAAP, but not under IFRS. U.S. companies currently using LIFO will lobby to keep this method because a switch from LIFO would greatly increase taxes for many U.S. companies. 44) To revalue a long-term asset is to periodically adjust the asset to fair value. Under U.S. GAAP, companies are not allowed to revalue longterm assets to fair value for financial reporting purposes. IFRS allows, but does not require, revaluation of long-term assets to fair value.

45)Under U.S. GAAP, preferred stock is usually recorded as stockholders' equity with dividends reported as a reduction of retained earnings. Under IFRS, most preferred stock is reported as debt with the dividends reported in the income statement as interest expense. As we learned in Chapter 10, preferred stock has characteristics of both liabilities and stockholders' equity. Preferred stock can have characteristics nearly identical to bonds or characteristics nearly identical to common stock.

220)Under accrual-basis accounting, revenues are recorded at the time a company provides goods and services to its customers. Expenses generally are recorded as costs of running the business are incurred to help produce revenues. In other words, costs used in business operations to help generate revenues are reported as expenses in those periods. 1. (1) When a company provides good or services on account, revenue is recorded immediately, even though cash is not collected from the customer until a later time. 2. (2) When customers pay cash for goods or services in advance of the services to be provided, revenue is not recorded. A liability account called Deferred Revenue is booked instead. Revenue is recorded later when the company actually provides the services. 3. (3) When a company incurs a cost in business operations to help generate revenues, an expense is recorded immediately, even though cash is not paid until a later time. 4. (4) When a company prepays for expenses that will be used in the future to run the business, an expense is not recorded. An asset account is booked instead. The expense is recorded later when the company uses that cost in running the business. 221)The difference between accrual-basis accounting and cash-basis accounting is timing. Under accrual-basis accounting, we record revenues when we provide goods and services to customers, and we record expenses when costs are used in company operations. Under cash-basis accounting, we record revenues when we receive cash, and we record expenses when we pay cash. Cash-basis accounting is not allowed for financial reporting purposes for most major companies.
Version 1

222)Deferred revenues arise when a company receives cash in advance from customers, but products and services won’t be provided until a later period. Examples include payments received in advance of the subscription period by an online gaming site, rent payments received in advance of the rental period by a property leasing firm, or insurance payments received in advance of the coverage period by a car insurance company. A liability exists because there is still an obligation to provide the service after the cash has been received. 223)Prepaid expenses arise when a company pays cash (or has an obligation to pay cash) to acquire an asset that is not used until a later period. Examples include supplies, insurance, or rent paid in advance. 224)Accrued expenses occur when a company has used costs in the current period, but the company hasn’t yet paid cash for those costs. Examples include interest payable and salaries payable. 225) 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 periodically to facilitate measuring income over a period of time, but the permanent account balances are carried forward from period to period. 226) Closing entries serve two purposes: (1) to transfer the balances of temporary accounts (revenues, expenses, and dividends) to the Retained Earnings account and (2) to reduce the balances of these temporary accounts to zero to prepare them for measuring activity in the next period. Closing entries increase retained earnings by the amount of revenues for the period and decrease retained earnings by the amount of expenses and dividends for the period.

In addition, when a company sells products or services to customers who use credit cards or debit cards, the cash to be collected from those sales is nearly always included in the total cash balances immediately. Cash equivalents are short-term investments that have a maturity date no longer than three months from the date of purchase. Common examples of such investments are money market funds, Treasury bills, and certificates of deposit. 180)Cash should be recorded and deposited daily. The employee recording cash receipts should not also be the employee making the deposit. The bank reconciliation should be prepared monthly by a person with no other cash responsibilities.

Two entries are recorded in this situation. The first entry simply reverses a portion of the previous entry that the company made to write off the account (debit Accounts Receivable and credit the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts). The second entry records the collection of the account receivable (debit Cash and credit Accounts Receivable). In both entries, the amounts have offsetting effects on total assets.

213)(Note: Student answers will differ.) A sales discount represents a reduction, not in the selling price of a product or service, but in the amount to be paid by a credit customer if paid within a specified period of time. Sales returns occur when a customer returns a product. Sales allowances occur when the seller reduces the customer's balance owed or provides at least a partial refund because of some deficiency in the company's product or service. 214) Companies should account for uncollectible accounts receivable using the allowance method. Under the allowance method, accounts receivable are reported for the net amount expected to be collected. At the end of the current year, estimated future uncollectible accounts are reported in a contra asset account, reducing net accounts receivable. In other words, a company estimates future bad debts and records those estimates as an expense (bad debt expense) and a contra asset (the allowance for uncollectible accounts) in the current period. 215)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. 216)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.
Version 1

217)The percentage-of-receivables method estimates future bad debts based on a balance sheet amount - accounts receivable. The percentageof-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. 218)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.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 06_6e_Spiceland 1) FALSE Inventory is typically reported as a current asset because companies expect to convert it to cash in the near term. 2) FALSE Cost of goods sold is an expense reported in the income statement and inventory is an asset reported in the balance sheet. 3) TRUE 4) TRUE 5) TRUE 6) TRUE 7) TRUE 8) FALSE Sales revenue minus cost of goods sold equals gross profit. 9) TRUE 10) FALSE Beginning Inventory ($30,000) + Purchases ($95,000) − Ending Inventory ($25,000) = Cost of Goods Sold ($100,000). 11) FALSE Companies can assume which inventory units are sold and still remain on hand using a variety of methods (FIFO, LIFO, and weighted-average cost). 12) TRUE 13) FALSE The average is a weighted-average cost which includes both beginning inventory and purchases and is equal to total cost of goods available for sale divided by the total number of units available for sale. Version 1

14) TRUE 15) FALSE Most often, the actual physical flow of goods follows FIFO. 16) TRUE 17) FALSE During periods of rising costs, FIFO generally results in a lower cost of goods sold. 18) TRUE 19) FALSE During periods of rising costs, LIFO generally results in a lower ending inventory balance. 20) TRUE 21) FALSE When inventory costs are rising, LIFO provides greater tax savings. 22) FALSE The LIFO conformity rule requires a company that uses LIFO for tax reporting to also use it for financial reporting. 23) TRUE 24) TRUE 25) FALSE Once a company chooses an inventory cost method, it is not allowed to frequently change to another one. 26) FALSE The debit is to the Inventory account. 27) FALSE For FOB destination, title transfers once the inventory reaches the buyer (destination). 28) TRUE 29) TRUE 30) TRUE Version 1
70
31) FALSE The amount reported for ending inventory (or cost of goods sold) will differ. 32) FALSE Companies must report inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. 33) FALSE Companies are required to record an adjusting entry when net realizable value falls below cost. The adjusting entry has the effect of reducing assets and increasing expenses. 34) TRUE 35) TRUE 36) TRUE 37) TRUE 38) FALSE The inventory turnover ratio equals cost of goods sold ($2,000) divided by average inventory ($500), which equals 4.0 in this example. 39) TRUE 40) FALSE A higher ratio is generally a stronger signal about the company's successful management of inventory. 41) TRUE 42) TRUE 43) FALSE Understating ending inventory in the current year will cause cost of goods sold in the current year to be overstated. 44) C 45) B 46) A 47) D Version 1

216)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) workin-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. 217) Inventory is reported as an asset in the balance sheet. The amount reported is the cost of inventory not sold at the end of the year. Cost of goods sold is an expense reported in the income statement. It is the cost of inventory sold during the year. 218)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. 219)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.
Version 1
83
220)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. 221)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.

16) FALSE A patent is an exclusive right to manufacture a product or to use a process. A copyright is an exclusive right of protection given to the creator of a published work such as a song, film, painting, photograph, book, or computer software. 17) TRUE 18) TRUE 19) TRUE 20) FALSE Because we cannot tell what portion of today’s advertising benefits future periods and how many periods it might benefit, advertising costs are not reported as an intangible asset in the balance sheet. Instead, advertising costs are reported as expenses in the income statement in the period incurred. 21) FALSE The franchisee's initial fee is reported as an intangible asset and then expensed over the life of the franchise agreement. 22) TRUE 23) FALSE Goodwill is reported by the acquiring company for the amount that the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the acquired company’s identifiable net assets. 24) FALSE We expense repairs and maintenance expenditures in the period incurred because they maintain a given level of benefits. 25) FALSE If a firm successfully defends an intangible right, it should capitalize the litigation costs and amortize them over the remaining useful life of the related intangible.

Conceptually, we should report as an intangible asset the portion that benefits future periods. Due to the difficulties in arriving at this estimate, current U.S. accounting rules require firms to expense all R&D costs as incurred. 83) C We expense in the income statement most of the costs for internally developed intangible assets in the period we incur those costs.

Impairment occurs when the expected future cash flows (expected future benefits) generated for a long-term asset fall below its book value (original cost minus accumulated depreciation). 200) A The estimated future cash flows of $60 million exceed the current book value of $58 million (or $70 million − $12 million), so no impairment exists. 201) C The patent is impaired because estimated future cash flows of $43 million are less than the carrying value of $50 million. The impairment loss is measured by the difference between its carrying value of $50 million and its fair value of $35 million. 202) A The building and the copyright are impaired since their estimated future cash flows are less than book value. The impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the book value and the fair value: Building ($500,000 − $360,000) = $140,000 and Copyright (40,000 − $39,000) = $1,000. Total impairment loss ($140,000 + $1,000) = $141,000. 203) D Only the equipment is impaired since its estimated future cash flows are less than book value. The impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the book value and the fair value ($35,000 − $28,000) = $7,000. 204) A Only the building is impaired since its estimated future cash flows are less than book value. The impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the book value and the fair value ($140,000 − $135,000) = $5,000.

205)This mistake will overstate net income in the income statement and overstate assets and retained earnings in 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 in the income statement. Similarly, recording an expense as an asset will overstate assets in the balance sheet. Retained earnings in the balance sheet will also be overstated due to the overstatement of net income. 206)We do not depreciate land because its useful 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. 207)We report purchased intangible assets in the balance sheet at their original cost plus all other costs, such as legal fees, necessary to get them ready for use. Rather than reporting intangible assets developed internally in the balance sheet, we expense in the income statement most of the costs for internally developed intangible assets in the period we incur those costs. 208)Straight-line creates an equal amount of depreciation each year. Double-declining-balance creates more depreciation in earlier years and less depreciation in later years. Activity-based depreciation varies depending on the use of the asset each year.

209)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' service 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 decliningbalance methods in earlier years with straight-line in later years to allow for a more advantageous tax depreciation deduction.

Even though companies do not record contingent gains in the accounts, they sometimes disclose them in notes to the financial statements. 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. 3. The contingent liability is probable and reasonably estimable, so it must be reported.

3. The purchase of additional inventory by issuing short-term debt would increase the current ratio as both current assets and current liabilities would increase by an equal amount. The purchase of additional inventory by issuing short-term debt would decrease the acid-test ratio due to the increase in current liabilities in the denominator of the ratio. Recall that inventory is excluded in calculating the numerator for the acid-test ratio.

Note: Since the manager’s cumulative salary for the year equals $135,000 (or $15,000 per month × 9 months) through the end of September, only $7,800 (or the maximum base of $142,800 minus his cumulative salary through September of $135,000) will be taxed at 6.2% during October. 87) B Total Salaries Expense

Given a choice, most companies would prefer to report a liability as long-term rather than current because it may cause the company to appear less risky. In turn, less risky companies may enjoy lower interest rates on borrowing and command higher stock prices for new stock listings. 174) Accrual-basis accounting requires expenses to be recorded when incurred; cash-basis requires expenses to be recorded when the cash is paid. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require the use of accrual-basis accounting in preparing financial statements because it best reflects the timing of the expense.

175)Items commonly withheld from employee payroll checks include federal and state income taxes; Social Security and Medicare; health, dental, disability, and life insurance premiums; and employee investments to retirement or savings plans. Federal and state income taxes, Social Security, and Medicare are required by law. The rest are voluntary. Common employer payroll costs, in addition to the employee's salary, include federal and state unemployment taxes, the employer portion of Social Security and Medicare, employer contributions for health, dental, disability, and life insurance; and employer contributions to retirement or savings plans. Federal and state unemployment taxes and the employer portion of Social Security and Medicare are required by law. The rest are voluntary benefits paid by a company on behalf of its employees. 176)When a company receives cash in advance through the sale of gift cards, it debits Cash and credits a current liability account called Deferred Revenue. When customers redeem gift cards for goods or services, the company debits Deferred Revenue and credits Sales Revenue. 177) A contingent liability is an existing, uncertain situation that might result in a loss. Examples include lawsuits, product warranties, environmental problems, and premium offers. A contingent liability is recorded only if a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable.

In the first monthly payment, $1,600.00 goes to interest expense and only $318.56 goes to reducing the carrying value of the loan. 4. The actual payments on the loan are $690,681.60 ($1,918.56 × 360 months). Therefore, total interest expense over the 30-year mortgage is $370,681.60 (or $690,681.60 − $320,000). 10)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. 11)1. Date January 1, 2024

Answer Key Test name: Chap 09_6e_Spiceland 1) TRUE 2) FALSE Interest expense incurred when borrowing money is tax deductible, while dividends paid to stockholders and not tax-deductible. 3) TRUE 4) FALSE Equity financing refers to obtaining investment from stockholders. 5) TRUE 6) TRUE 7) TRUE 8) TRUE 9) TRUE 10) FALSE Each installment payment includes both an amount that represents interest and an amount that represents a reduction of the outstanding loan balance. The monthly payment amount does not change. Interest expense equals the prior month’s carrying value times the interest rate. The amount of interest expense decreases with each payment (since the carrying value is decreasing) and the amount paid on the note’s principal balance increases. 11) TRUE 12) FALSE

For financial reporting, the remaining balance of an installment note needs to be split into its current and long-term portions. The current portion is the amount of the loan that will be settled within one year of the balance sheet date. The long-term portion is the remaining amount of the loan not classified as current. 13) TRUE 14) TRUE 15) FALSE Lease payments often are tied only to the portion of the asset’s fair value expected to decline over the lease period (rather than the asset’s entire value). This means the monthly payments associated with leasing often are lower. 16) FALSE Leases are recorded by the lessee as an increase in assets and an increase in liabilities at the beginning of the lease. 17) FALSE Lessees don’t have to worry about declining fair values (selling prices) while they are using the asset. 18) FALSE Leases are recorded for the present value of the lease payments. 19) TRUE 20) TRUE 21) FALSE Secured bonds are supported by specific assets the issuer has pledged as collateral. 22) TRUE 23) TRUE 24) FALSE

Term bonds require payments of the full principal amount of the bond at a single maturity date. Serial bonds require payments in installments over a series of years. 25) FALSE Serial bonds require payments in installments over a series of years. Term bonds require payment of the full principal amount of the bond at a single maturity date. 26) TRUE 27) TRUE 28) FALSE We can calculate the issue price of a bond as the present value of the face amount plus the present value of the periodic interest payments. The market rate of interest is used to calculate the present value. 29) TRUE 30) TRUE 31) FALSE Market rates change continuously. The market value of bonds moves in an opposite direction of interest rates. When market interest rates go up, the market value of bonds goes down. 32) TRUE 33) TRUE 34) FALSE The higher the market interest rate, the lower the bond issue price will be. 35) TRUE 36) TRUE 37) TRUE 38) TRUE 39) FALSE

When bonds are issued at a premium (above face amount), the carrying value and the corresponding interest expense decrease over time. 40) TRUE 41) FALSE The cash payment each period is calculated as the face amount times the stated interest rate. 42) TRUE 43) FALSE For bonds issued at a premium, the difference between interest expense and the cash paid decreases the carrying value of the bonds. 44) FALSE When bonds are issued at a premium, the cash received from investors exceeds the face amount, which is the amount that must be paid to investors at maturity. Since the cash received from the issuance exceeds the cash that must be paid at maturity, the difference (which is the amount of the premium) effectively represents the reduction in total interest paid. (Note that the opposite is true for bonds issued at a discount. When bonds are issued at a discount, the amount of the discount effectively represents additional interest expense.) 45) TRUE 46) TRUE 47) TRUE 48) FALSE Gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt are reported as nonoperating items in the income statement. 49) TRUE 50) FALSE No gain or loss is recorded on bonds retired at maturity, as the carrying value at maturity is equal to the face amount of the bond. 51) TRUE Version 1

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 arenot tax deductible. Due to tax considerations, debt can be a less costly form of financing. 219)A company that borrows by issuing bonds is effectively bypassing 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. 220)(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.

221)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. 222)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.

Treasury stock is the purchase of a corporation’s own stock, and we record it as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. It is not an asset; a company cannot invest in itself. In other words, when a company buys back its own common stock that previously was issued, the treasury stock is recorded as a separate contra (or negative) equity account for the cost to acquire the shares. If a company resells its treasury stock for an amount greater or less than its original costs, no gain or loss is recorded in the income statement, as we would for the sale of an investment in another company, since the company is reselling its own stock. Instead, the difference is recorded as Additional Paid-In Capital. 94) D 95) C 96) C 97) D 98) C 99) A 100) B 101) D The journal entries would be: Date June 16 June 16 July 23 July 23 July 23

So, stock splits have no effect on the total stockholder’s equity. The entry to record a stock dividend decreases one equity account, Retained Earnings, and increases another equity account, Common Stock (and, in the case of a small stock dividend, it increases the Additional Paid-in Capital account). So, stock dividends also have no effect on the total stockholder’s equity. With regards to invested capital (which is comprised of the Common Stock, Preferred Stock, and Paid-in Capital accounts), stock dividends increase one or more of those accounts. With regards to earned capital, stock dividends are recorded with a debit to Stock Dividends, a temporary stockholders equity account that is closed to the Retained Earnings account; that debit results in a transfer out of (rather than into) earned capital (which commonly refers to retained earnings). 137) A 138) C Version 1

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.

168)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. 169)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.

170) Investors in common stock are the owners of the corporation because they have voting rights, and some preferred stock may be convertible to common stock. Investors in long-term debt, such as bonds, are creditors who have loaned money to the corporation. These investors have the right to interest payments each year and then the face amount of the bond at maturity. This financing arrangement is similar to preferred stock that pays cumulative dividends and is redeemable by stockholders. 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. 171)Declaration and payment of a cash dividend reduces total assets and total stockholders' equity. Declaration and payment of a stock dividend has no effect on total assets, total liabilities, and total stockholders' equity.

Amortization expense reduces net income without any related cash outflows in the current period.

Adding back the amount of amortization eliminates the deduction of this noncash expense in net income. 25) TRUE 26) FALSE To calculate operating cash flows using the indirect method, we adjust for gains and losses that do not affect operating cash flows. These gains and losses typically relate to investing activities, such as the sale of land, equipment and buildings.

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.

184) 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. 185) 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. 186) 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. 187) 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.

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.

172) 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. 173) 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 above 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. 174)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 onetime income items. A primary example is discontinued operations.

175)(Note: Students' answers may differ.) 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 reporting 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 report a litigation loss all are examples of more aggressive accounting. They are aggressive because all of these practices report higher net income.
