145. Baseline Corporation was formed two years ago, to manufacture fitness equipment. It has been profitable and is growing rapidly. It currently has 150 shareholders and 90 employees; most of the employees own at least a few shares of Baseline's shares. The company has received financing from two banks. It will sell additional shares within the next three months and will also seek additional loans and hire new employees to support its continued growth. Required: 1. Explain who relies on the information in financial statements prepared by Baseline Corporation. 2. Why is compliance with international financial reporting standards and accuracy in accounting important for Baseline? 3. A new accountant who tried to prepare Baseline's financial statements at the end of the current year made several errors. For each of the following items, indicate how the income statement and statement of financial position are affected by the error and the nature of the effect. (For example, an error might cause revenues and net income on the income statement and retained earnings and assets on the statement of financial position to be overstated). Ignore the effects of income taxes. A. The company had sales for cash of $3,000,000. It also had sales on account of $1,800,000 that had been collected by the end of the year, and sales on account of $200,000 that are expected to be collected early the following year. The accountant reported total sales revenue of $4,800,000. B. The company had total inventories of $600,000 at the end of the year. Of this amount, inventory reported at $30,000 was obsolete and will have to be scrapped. The statement of financial position prepared by the accountant showed total inventories of $600,000. C. The company has a bank loan for which interest expense during the year of $10,000 will be paid early in January of the next year.

1. Various external decision makers rely on the financial statements of a corporation. For Baseline, these decision makers include the bankers who have loaned money to the company. These creditors would monitor the performance of Baseline to estimate the likelihood that Baseline will be able to repay existing loans when they come due, and to decide whether to make additional loans to Baseline in the future. Current shareholders would want to review Baseline's financial statements to decide whether they wanted to continue to own Baseline's shares. Potential shareholders and creditors would use the information to decide whether they wanted to purchase Baseline's shares or loan money to the company in the future. Baseline anticipates hiring additional workers in the near future; potential employees might use information in the financial statements to evaluate the company as an employer. 2. Compliance with international financial reporting standards and accuracy in accounting are important to Baseline because they are important to the people who use Baseline's financial statements. To maintain the credibility of its financial statements, Baseline must comply with IFRS and must ensure the accuracy of its accounting records. 3. A. On the income statement, revenues are understated by $200,000 and profit is understated. On the statement of financial position, trade receivables and retained earnings are understated. B. On the statement of financial position, inventory and retained earnings are overstated by $30,000. On the income statement, expenses are understated and profit is overstated. C.

146. Lloyd Company ends the first year of operations with $2.2 million in retained earnings when no dividends were paid out. Since the company began operations on January 1st, 20X2 of the current year ending December 31st, 20X2 calculate the amount of beginning retained earnings and explain your answer. The beginning balance of retained earnings is zero because a new business would not have generated income from prior operations. Retained earnings represents the profit generated through operations not distributed in the form of a dividend. A company just beginning operations could not have any profit so there would always be a zero beginning balance for new companies.

115. Why is the continuity assumption so important for statement of financial position reporting? The continuity assumption is also known as the going-concern assumption. It is important for statement of financial position reporting because of valuation issues. If a business is expected to operate into the foreseeable future, amounts presented on the statement of financial position for assets and liabilities are based on the cost principle. If the continuity assumption is not followed, assets and liabilities might be reported at liquidation values as if they are going out of business.

116. Why is the separate-entity assumption so important for statement of financial position reporting? The separate-entity assumption is important for statement of financial position reporting because a business should present only its own assets and liabilities on the statement. A business is a separate accounting entity from its owners. Therefore, the owners' assets and liabilities would appear on their own (personal) financial statement. The mixing of the two would create meaningless financial statements.

117. Why is the historical cost principle so important for statement of financial position reporting? The cost principle is important for statement of financial position reporting because of valuation issues. The cash-equivalent cost is verifiable. If it were not for the cost principle, assets and liabilities could be reported at more subjective values. This could lead to manipulation of statement of financial position amounts.

130. Explain why income measurement is meaningless if the matching principle is violated. Give an example. Under accrual accounting, revenue should be recognized when earned, and expenses should be recognized as incurred. The matching principle dictates that those costs associated with bringing in revenues match to those exact revenues in order to properly measure income for a given accounting period. For example, if you paid for a 3-year insurance policy upfront, and included its entire cost in the income statement of the current year, your insurance expense would be overstated as year 2 and year 3 insurance costs should be matched to the revenues in years 2 and 3 respectively.

134. Why might managers be tempted to violate the revenue principle and the matching principle in financial reporting? Managers want their companies to appear successful when financial statements are issued. With revenues as high as possible and expenses as low as possible, profit will be elevated. Managers might be tempted to report revenues even though the earnings process is not complete. Also, if some expenses can be put off until a later time, profit will appear larger. Often, manager bonuses are calculated based on profit. Lower profit could cause an adverse reaction in the marketplace regarding share prices. This could cause some managers to lose their jobs.

141. Explain why the profit reported on the statement of earnings is usually not equal to net cash flows from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. Profit on the statement of earnings is an application of the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are reported when earned and expenses incurred are matched to those earned revenues. The net cash flows from operating activities on the statement of cash flows are reported on the cash basis of accounting. That is, amounts received from customers and amounts paid for expenses are on the statement of cash flows. Therefore, the difference in profit and net cash from operating activities is a timing issue.

The following additional information is provided: 1. Cash includes the cash value of a life insurance policy $9,400, and Bob found a utilities bill for $1,500 in his in-box, so he deducted the amount from cash. 2. The accounts receivable balance includes an amount of $2,300 owing from a customer who has since gone out of business. The company does not expect to receive any further payments on this debt. The company writes off bad debts as they occur. Bob also included the account prepaid expenses with accounts receivable on the statement, as explained in point 6 below. 3. Inventories do not include goods costing $5,000 held on consignment at Hardy Home Emporium. Receivables and sales of $5,000 were recorded for these goods. 4. Investments include investments in trading shares $4,000 and long-term bonds $43,300, a patent $32,000 and franchises $9,000. The company accounts for unrealized gains and losses on investments in other comprehensive income. The patent is for a manufacturing process that is now obsolete and is no longer used. 5. Property plant and equipment (PPE) has a remaining useful life of eight years, and includes a new machine purchased during the year for $26,000, which has a useful life of 10 years. Bob does not know what "net" means, but he used the same accounts and followed the same format as last year to prepare the statement. Accumulated depreciation has the same balance as last year, $68,000. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Also, included in PPE are a patent with an original cost of $32,000, which was obtained twelve years ago and is now obsolete, and franchises in the amount of $9,000. 6. Insurance premiums of $18,000 were paid during the year. The insurance policy runs from April 1 to March 31 of the following year. Last year the premium paid was $14,880. The previous bookkeeper had debited the account called prepaid insurance in the amount of $3,720. Bob was not confident this was correct, so he charged this year's premium as insurance expense and he included the prepaid expense amount of $3,720 in accounts receivable. 7. Accounts payable includes the account wages payable for $2,300. The amount has not changed since last year. The last pay in the current year was on December 28 for hours worked up to that date.

They could generate positive cash flow from a low of $2.59 for every dollar in net income earned to a high of $4.30 of cash for every dollar of net earnings. The ratio took a big jump in 2017 primarily caused by an increase in cash flow from operations and a decrease in net earnings of over a half billion dollars.

During the five years from 20X3 to 20X7, the company had been investing between $586 million to $373 million in property, plant and equipment. However, their cash flow from operations was very erratic ranging from a high of $964 million in 20X7 to a low of $250 million in 20X4. The ratio has been affected not only by the level of investments in these long-lived assets, but by the erratic inflow of cash from operations. In 20X7, the ratio was at its highest point at 2.58 caused by a decrease in the level of investment, $373 million, while cash inflow was at its peak of $964 million.

168. Is it possible to have a debit balance for the AFDA account? If so, describe what likely caused this to happen and how one should proceed going forward. Yes, it is possible. Typically, AFDA will have a credit balance when first set up. When the write-offs that take place are greater than the amount allocated to this allowance account, it will have a debit balance. This happens when you underestimate the amount of bad debt expense in the period before. In order to resume normalcy, the account is credited an amount larger than otherwise to capture the previous underestimation. This of course has the effect of enlarging this period's bad debt expense.

Allowance for Doubtful Accts Bad Debt Expense Trade Receivables
$800 credit balance 0 balance 50,000 debit balance
Cash collections on trade receivables during 20X6 amounted to $148,500. Sales revenue during 20X6 amounted to $200,000, of which 75% was on credit, and it was estimated that 2% of the credit sales made in 20X6 would ultimately become uncollectible. Before adjusting entries were made for 20X6, (a) a $600 account was determined to be uncollectible and written off by Dice and (b) bad debt expense was recorded to 20X6. These adjustments are not reflected in the account balances above. After the above entries were posted to the ledger, the account balances were as follows (give the amount under the appropriate debit or credit column):

175. During 20X1, Lau Inc. recorded credit sales of $1,500,000. Based on prior experience, it estimates a 1 percent bad debt rate on credit sales. At the beginning of the year, the balance in trade receivables, net was $100,000. At the end of the year, but before the bad debt expense adjustment was recorded and before any bad debts had been written off, the balance in trade receivables, net was $125,000. 1. Assume that on December 31, 20X1, the appropriate bad debt expense adjustment was recorded for the year 20X1 and trade receivables totaling $10,000 were written off for the year, what was the receivables turnover ratio for the year? 2. Assume that on December 31, 20X1, the appropriate bad debt expense adjustment was recorded for the year 20X1 and trade receivables totaling $12,000 were written off for the year, what was the receivables turnover ratio for the year? 3. Explain why the answers to parts 1 and 2 differ or do not differ. 1. 14.29 ($1,500,000/ [100,000 + 110,000]/2), 2. 14.29 (same calculation), 3. The ratio stayed the same because only the adjusting entry affects the balance of trade receivables, net while the actual write off of customer accounts simply offset the asset against the contra asset account so that net receivables do not change.

The reconciliation of the cash account is very important in determining the correct, up-to-date balance for cash to be presented on the company's statement of financial position. It is also a good tool for detecting errors in the cash account because it is a second and independent record of the company's cash

186. You are the new manager of Trustworthy Company. The company distributes goods throughout the Rocky Mountain area. Customers are billed after the shipments are sent. Most customers pay within two weeks. You notice that one employee is responsible for opening all incoming payments, recording them in the accounting records, and depositing all receipts in the bank daily. When asked why this one person performed all of these duties, you were told that it was more efficient for one person to handle cash and to keep track of things. If any cash was missing, responsibility could be easily determined. Do you agree with this arrangement? If you were to make changes, what would you do, and why? Note: Answers may vary. This is definitely not a good system. One person should not be responsible for the receipt of cash, accounting for cash, and depositing in the bank. The duties of handling cash and accounting for cash should be separated. This person could be stealing from the firm; since he/she is the only one handling the receipt of cash, the theft could easily be concealed (the only person that could do this is the owner, arguably.) For example, when a customer pays cash on account, the employee could debit sales returns and allowances instead of the cash account. To prevent such an occurrence, different employees should have the responsibility of receiving cash, accounting for cash, and depositing cash in the bank on a daily basis.

169. Laforge Cement Company bought a piece of land with a building on it for a total of $4,400,000. They obtained two appraisals to estimate the fair values of the land and building.
Land Building
Appraisal 1 $1,200,000 $3,600,000
Appraisal 2 $1,000,000 $4,000,000
Required: 1. If management's objectives are to minimize the amount of income tax they pay, which of the two appraisals should they use to allocate the purchase price? Explain your answer. 2. Based on your answer in part a calculate the amount to be allocated to the Land and the Building account. 3. Under what circumstances might management wish to use the other appraisal value? 1. If they want to minimize taxable income and hence taxes payable, they want the maximum amount allocated to the building, which is deductible (over time through capital cost allowance) for tax purposes. Therefore, they would select the second appraisal Land $1,000,000 and Building $4,000,000. 2. Total appraised value = $5,000,000, Allocated to Land: 1,000,000/5,000,000 = 20% ´ 4,400,000 = $880,000 Allocated to Building: 4,000,000/5,000,000 = 80% ´ 4,400,000 = $3,520,000 3. If management's objectives were to maximize income, in order to increase bonuses or share price, they would want the maximum amount allocated to Land, because that amount would never be expensed as land is not amortized. So, they would select the first appraisal that allocates 25% of the purchase price to Land.

Computation: ($400,000 - 40,000)/20 years = $18,000/year $18,000/yr ´ 4 months/12 months = $6,000 3. Book value = $400,000 - 24,000 accumulated depreciation = $376,000 4. Belverd separated the cost of the building and the cost of the land when it made the original entry to record the acquisition because depreciation must be recorded for the building and not for the land. Recording the assets in separate accounts simplifies the process of properly recording depreciation.

184. For each of the following three independent situations determine the gain or loss on the sale or disposal of the asset. Prepare the journal entry required at the time of sale or disposal. Assume that all assets are depreciated using the straight-line method and in every case, a yearend of December 31. 1. Equipment purchased July 1, 20X4, for $75,000 was sold for $9,500 on June 30, 20X9. At the time of purchase, it was estimated to have a $5,000 residual value and a five-year useful life. Assume that a half-year depreciation is taken in the year the equipment was acquired and in the year it was sold. 2. Calibrating equipment was purchased on July 10, 20X8, for $120,000. At the time, it was estimated to have a six-year useful life and no residual value. On September 30, 20X9, there was a fire in the plant, and the equipment suffered water damage and is beyond repair. The company received $50,000 from the insurance company for the equipment. Assume depreciation is applied monthly. 3. Office furniture was purchased on February 11, 20X0 for $25,000 and was estimated to have a useful life of ten years and a salvage value of $2,500. On August 1, 20X7, the company moved to new offices and donated the old furniture to charity. Assume that a halfyear depreciation is taken in the year the furniture was acquired and in the year it was donated. 1. ($75,000 - $5,000)/5 = $14,000 depreciation per year. 4 full years (20X5-X6-X7-X8) and 2 half-years (20X4 & 20X9) = 5 full years. NBV = $75,000 - (5 ´ $14,000) = $5,000, which equals the residual value. Gain: $9,500 $5,000 = $4,500

(3) Over the three-year period, Toys 4 U has managed to reduce the time it takes to pay their vendors by 7 days or a week. They have made some improvement in making timely payment to vendors but they still take two months to pay. If their suppliers offer them 30-day credit or even a discount for early payment, then that 60-day payment period is not very good. We would really be able to see if their payable payment period is in line with other big retail companies by comparing their ratio to similar companies.

154. 1. What is a contingent liability? 2. When must a contingent liability be recorded through a journal entry? 3. When should a contingent liability be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements? 4. When is disclosure of a contingent liability not required? 5. Give two examples of contingent liabilities. 1. Contingent liabilities are potential liabilities which arise due to past events. 2. Whether or not the potential liability becomes a recorded liability depends upon the outcome of future events. For example, a company is currently involved in a product liability lawsuit the company may have to pay the plaintiff if the settlement is unfavourable. A contingent liability must be recorded if it is probable that the future events will occur and the amount can be reasonably estimated. 3. Contingent liabilities should be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements if it is probable that future events will occur but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Footnote disclosure should also occur if it is reasonably possible that the future events will occur whether or not it can be reasonably estimated. 4. Disclosure is not required if the probability of future events occurring is remote. 5. Impending lawsuit; Product warranties;

158. What are "Future Income taxes"? Where specifically would they appear in financial statements? Future Income taxes arise due to the fact that the income tax expense recognized on the income statement is based upon "book" profit (derived using IFRS) and the amount of income tax actually owed to the government is based upon rules established by the Income Tax Act (ITA) which are reported on the tax return. IFRS and ITA rules sometimes vary on when certain expenses and revenue should be recognized. Due to these timing differences, the income tax expense shown on the income statement could be more, or less than the amount actually owed to the government in a particular year. The Future Income tax account is used to record this difference. Future Income tax could be an asset on the statement of financial position or it could be a liability, depending upon the nature of the recognition difference.

151. Consider the following statement: "Issuing bonds at a discount is bad for the issuing corporation." Required: Discuss the statement above and comment on its validity. The issuance of bonds at a discount is not bad nor is the issuance of bonds at a premium good. Bonds are issued at a price based on the market rate of interest. When bonds are issued at a discount, the market rate exceeds the stated rate. When bonds are issued at a premium, the stated rate exceeds the market rate. The price at which bonds are sold simply adjusts the selling price to yield the market rate to the bondholders.

(2) The ratio was constant between 20X17 and 2018; however, it did drop significantly in 2019 primarily caused by the decrease in profit. The level of interest expense has dropped over the three years but the profit has declined at a faster rate than the decrease in interest in 2019. Overall, even in 2019, the company still has almost five dollars of profit coverage for every dollar of interest charges incurred so they do not appear to be having difficulty generating sufficient profit coverage for interest charges.

165. Why are present value concepts and applications so important when companies purchase equipment financed by the seller? Present value concepts are very important in seller financed purchases because the debt payments will include principal and interest payments. The equipment should be capitalized at an amount equal to the present value of the purchase. That is, the asset account should reflect what the equipment could have been acquired for in terms of "today's dollars." The larger amount that you pay the seller in the future is larger because it includes interest are charges for borrowing. These interest amounts should be reported as interest expense as incurred.

$60,000 1,200,000 25,000 200,000 300,000 40% 22,500 $9.00

Profit margin: _____ %. Return on equity: _____ %. Earnings per share: $ _____. Dividend yield ratio: _____ %. Price/earnings ratio: _____. Return on assets: _____ %. Financial leverage: _____ %.
(b) Your interpretation of the financial leverage is: (a) (1) $60,000/$1,200,000 = 5% (2) $60,000/$300,000 = 20% (3) $60,000/50,000 shares = $1.20 (4) ($22,500/50,000) ÷ $9 = 5% (5) $9.00/$1.20 = 7.5 (6) [$60,000 + ($25,000 ´.60)]/$500,000 = 15% (7) 20% - 15% = 5% (b) The advantage is favourable to the shareholders if the ratio is positive, and it is unfavourable to the shareholders if the ratio is negative because of the difference between profit on total assets and the cost of debt (interest expense net of income tax). For Night Corporation, the company's shareholders are benefiting from financial leverage because the cost of borrowing is less than the return to the shareholders.

121. Discuss how the equity method prevents managers of the investor corporation from manipulating income related to dividends from the investee. When one corporation exerts significant influence over another (such influence results from ownership of 20 to 50 percent of the common shares), it is unreasonable to assume that transactions between those corporations are made at "arm's length" as assumed in financial accounting. Without the equity method, managers of the investor company could manipulate income by influencing the investee's dividend policy. Large dividend payments could be used to bolster income in bad years. The equity method prevents this type of manipulation by requiring dividends received to be offset against the investment account rather than recognized as income.
