2. Amalgamated Campus Stores, Inc. (ACS) employed student representatives to market grooming aids, casual clothes, and other such products on college campuses. The representatives organized parties at which they displayed samples of all the products. Students who bought products paid the representative, who in turn ordered the products and paid ACS for them. When the products arrived, the student representatives delivered them to the buyers. The representatives paid ACS less than they charged the buyers. The difference represented the earnings of the representatives, who were not employees of ACS. Wall Street investors admired ACS because the company had enjoyed several years of rapid growth in sales and earnings.

Last year, the president of ACS predicted further increases in sales of 30 percent. By December, however, it was apparent that the forecasted sales goals would not be met. So during the last two weeks of December, ACS shipped $23 million of merchandise to the sales representatives to be held for future sales parties. The company billed the student representatives and recorded the shipments as sales. In this way, ACS was able to meet its sales goal for the year. Were these merchandise shipments properly recorded as sales? ANS: The shipments were improperly recorded as sales. The goods had not been ordered by or sold to actual customers, and the student representatives had the right to return all the products unconditionally. In this type of arrangement, to report shipments as legitimate sales is certainly unethical and can be, as in this case, illegal when the intent is to deceive. It may turn out that most of the $23 million of products will be returned during January and February.

Which two broad account categories are used to determine net income? Define each category and list two examples of each type. ANS: Net income is determined by subtracting expenses from revenues. Revenues are defined as increases in stockholders' equity resulting from selling goods, rendering services, or performing other business activities. Examples are fees for designing a website or sales made by a hobby shop. Expenses are decreases in stockholders' equity resulting from the cost of goods and services used up in the course of earning revenues. Examples include rent, insurance, and advertising.

How and why is the matching rule applied to the cost of a building? ANS: The matching rule requires that the cost of a building be allocated over the period the building benefits the company (useful life of the building). This allocation of cost is in the form of depreciation expense that appears annually on the income statement. This conversion of asset cost into expense occurs over the same years that the building aids the company in earning revenue. As a result of this matching of expense with revenue, the financial statements more accurately measure the entity's performance over the years.

During the performance of the steps in the accounting cycle, trial balances are prepared at three key points. Using specific names where applicable, discuss the time of preparation and the purpose served by each of these trial balances. ANS: The first time a trial balance would be prepared could be anytime during the accounting period prior to any adjusting entries are made. Its purpose would be to assure the equality of debits and credits posted to the accounts up to that point. If this trial balance were to be prepared only once, it should be done immediately prior to any adjusting entries. This trial balance could be referred to as an Unadjusted Trial Balance. The next trial balance to be prepared would be the Adjusted Trial Balance. It would be prepared after all of the adjusting entries for the period have been posted. Its purpose is to verify the equality of all debits and credits posted up to that point. The final trial balance prepared is the Post-Closing Trial Balance. It is prepared after the closing entries have been posted to the accounts. It not only verifies the equality of debits and credits after closing procedures but also verifies that only permanent accounts remain with balances.

Susan Kane won the mayoral election in the City of Ashley partly on the basis of her charge that Allen Ross, the former mayor, was responsible for the budget deficit. After taking office, she hired a major international accounting firm to straighten things out. This excerpt appeared in an article from a leading business publication, West End Business Review: [A riddle] Q: When is a budget deficit not a deficit? A: When it is a surplus, of course. Ashley Mayor Susan Kane was once again caught with egg on her face last week as she and her financial advisers tried to defend that riddle. On one hand, Comptroller Jim Guan [a Kane appointee], explaining $75 million in assets the mayor [Kane] hopes to hold in reserve in the 2013 Ashley city budget, testified in hearings that the city had actually ended 2011 with a $6 million surplus, not the much-reported deficit. He said further that the modest surplus grew to $54 million as a result of tax-enrichment supplements to the 2011 balance sheet. On the other hand, the mayor stuck by the same guns she used last year on her predecessor. The city had ended 2011, under the Allen Ross administration, not merely without a surplus, but with a deficit. The apparent discrepancy can be explained. Like most U.S. cities, Ashley operates under a modified accrual accounting basis. This is a combination of the cash basis and the accrual basis. The modified accrual basis differs from the accrual basis in that revenue is recorded when it is collected. The collection of Ashley's parking tax, which is assessed on all city parking lots and garages, is an example. The tax is assessed and collected on a quarterly basis but the city doesn't collect the amount due for the last quarter of 2012 until the first quarter of 2013. Under ideal accrual methods, the parking revenues should be recorded in the 2012 financial statements. Under a cash approach, the revenues would be recorded in the 2013 budget. What the city did before was to record the money whenever it was advantageous politically. That, combined with the infamous revolving funds, allowed the city to hide the fact that it was running large deficits under [former] Mayor Ross. That also means that no one really knew where the city stood. The auditors are now reallocating the parking revenues to the 2013 budget but are accruing other revenues by shifting the period of collection from a year in the past. Overall, more revenues were moved into earlier fiscal years than into later years, inflating those budgets. Thus, the 2013 deficit is a surplus. © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

The article concluded: The upshot is that both Mayor Kane and Mr. Guan [the comptroller] were correct. There was a deficit in the 2011 corporate or checkbook fund, but because of corrections taking place now, a surplus exists. a. Do you agree with the way the auditors handled parking revenues? Support your answer by explaining which method of accounting you think a city should use. b. Comment on the statement, “Systematically applied accounting principles will allow all to know exactly where the city stands.” ANS: a. The question to be resolved is whether parking revenues should be recorded in the period in which they are earned (accrual accounting) or in the period in which they are collected (modified accrual accounting). The city was inconsistent in how it handled the parking revenues. In other words, it did whatever was politically expedient. The auditors are using the modified accrual basis. This is a generally accepted method used by governmental units and so is an acceptable method for the city of Ashley to use. The reasoning behind this method is that governmental units are not-for-profit organizations and therefore do not benefit greatly by using accrual accounting, a primary objective of which is to measure earnings. There are, however, strong advocates of accrual accounting for governmental units. They feel that governmental units should be subject to the same accounting principles that business organizations are. b. Regardless of the relative merits of the two methods, the worst situation from a financial reporting standpoint is for the city to use different methods in different years. Having chosen the modified accrual method, the auditors should (and did) apply the method consistently to all the years involved (2011, 2012, and 2013). Using the same method consistently for all years simplifies comparison of the financial reports and removes political bias.

Joan Miller owns an advertising agency. One of the adjustments her accountant made at the end of July was $360 for unpaid wages of the secretary. Joan Miller might ask, “Why go to the trouble of making this adjustment? Why worry about it? Doesn't everything come out in the end, when the secretary is paid in August? Because wages expense in total is the same for the two months, isn't the net income in total unchanged?” Give three reasons why adjusting entries can help Joan Miller assess the performance of her business. (Net income was $1,600.)

ANS: Adjusting entries are important because they help accountants compile information that is useful to management and stockholders. First, adjusting entries are necessary to measure income and financial position in a relevant and useful way. Joan Miller should know how much the agency has earned each month and what its liabilities and assets are on the last day of the month. For instance, if the accrued wages for the secretary are not recorded, the agency's income will be overstated by $360, or 22.5 percent ($360 / $1,600). Second, adjusting entries allow financial statements to be compared from one accounting period to the next. Joan Miller can see whether the company is making progress toward earning a profit or if the company has improved its financial position. If the adjustment for accrued wages is not recorded, not only will the net income for July be overstated by $360, but the net income for August (the month when payment will be made) will be understated by $360. This error will make August's earnings, whatever they may be, appear lower than they actually are. Third, even though one adjusting entry may seem insignificant, the cumulative effect of all adjusting entries can be great.

$40,000 30,000 18,000 5,800 1,400 3,000
a. Which of these accounts probably was created at the end of the fiscal year as a result of an accrual? Which probably was adjusted at year end? Explain your answer. b. Which adjustments probably reduced net income? Which probably increased net income? Explain your answers. ANS: a. Wages, interest, and income taxes are expenses that commonly have accrued but have not been paid at year's end. The offsetting liability accounts for these expenses are Wages Payable, Interest Payable, and Income Taxes Payable. Unearned Contract Revenue probably required an adjusting entry because some of the contract services undoubtedly have been provided and thus earned. It is less likely that adjusting entries affected Notes Payable or Accounts Payable. b. The three accruals for wages, interest, and income taxes decreased net income because each increased expenses. On the other hand, the adjustment for Contract Revenue Earned increased net income because the revenue was recognized as having been earned.

SHORT ANSWER 1. Why would a large company probably benefit more from a work sheet than would a very small company? ANS: A large company probably would need to prepare far more end-of-period adjustments than a very small company. The work sheet is extremely valuable to use prior to the preparation of adjusting and closing entries and the financial statements. PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate NAT: AACSB Analytic | AICPA FN Measurement LOC: Comprehension KEY: Using a work sheet MSC: ACBSP-APC-05-Accounting Cycle 2. Monty Milko is the only accountant employed at Gamma Enterprises, Inc. When asked by the company president if the financial statements had been prepared yet, Milko answered that he had completed all of his work except the preparation of the statements. He added that the net income that would appear on the current income statement would be $369,075. Identify the two instances where Milko would have learned the net income before he actually prepared the income statement. ANS: Going through the steps of the accounting cycle, Monty Milko would have first learned of the period's net income when he prepared a work sheet. Later, while preparing the closing entries, the same net income figure would appear as the amount transferred from Income Summary to Retained Earnings in what is typically the third closing entry. Both of these procedures would precede the actual preparation of the financial statements. PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate NAT: AACSB Analytic | AICPA FN Measurement LOC: Comprehension KEY: Closing of accounts | Using a work sheet MSC: ACBSP-APC-08-Closing Entries | ACBSP-APC-05-Accounting Cycle 3. Using the following information and the trial balance accounts and balances on the work sheet provided, complete the work sheet. a. Expired insurance totals $150. b. Of the unearned revenue, all has been earned by the balance sheet date. c. Estimated depreciation of equipment is $120. d. Accrued wages equal $300. e. Unused supplies on hand are $90. f. Estimated income taxes are $100.

Sean and Dylan Matthews are brothers who each own and operate sports memorabilia shops in neighboring towns. They decide to have a contest to see whose shop can be more profitable for the year. At year-end, Sean's records show sales of $105,000, cost of goods sold of $55,000, and operating expenses of $21,000. The records of Dylan's shop reveal sales of $108,000, cost of goods sold of $62,000, and operating expenses of $19,000. Dylan's shop also had other revenue of $3,000 received for allowing the shop to be used in taping a television show. Each brother claims to have won the contest. Provide explanations as to why each would think so, and then name the winner. ANS: Sean believes he won the contest because the operating income of his shop was $29,000 ($105,000 – $55,000 – $21,000), compared to the $27,000 ($108,000 – $62,000 – $19,000) operating income of Dylan's shop. Dylan argues that his shop posted higher sales than his brother's shop and his $30,000 ($27,000 + $3,000) “bottom line” net income is higher than Sean's $29,000. Even though Dylan's net income is $1,000 higher than Sean's, the $3,000 of other revenue did not come as the result of the buying or selling of merchandise and would not be expected to occur again. Therefore, because $3,000 of Dylan's earnings were not from operations, the more successful store and the bragging rights as the contest winner belong to Sean.

4. Bill Pierce owns several ice cream shops all within 50 miles of his home. He has plans to expand greatly the number of shops he owns. This planned expansion will require a large bank loan. Bill has always done his own accounting work and has prepared a set of financial statements for each of the past five years of operations to present to the bank. Because some periods were more profitable than others, Bill attempted to streamline his earnings by switching depreciation and inventory valuation methods frequently. This created the appearance that his company earnings were very consistent over the years. Discuss the merits of Bill's financial statements with regard to his streamlining decisions. ANS: Bill's attempt to streamline his earnings by frequently changing depreciation and inventory methods is a violation of the accounting conventions of comparability and consistency. Once the selection of accounting methods for such areas as depreciation and inventory are made, the company should continue to apply these methods from one period to the next. To vacillate between different methods greatly diminishes the usefulness of the statements in providing meaningful information. The true picture of somewhat erratic earnings is hidden by his efforts to present his operations in a more favorable light in order to receive a loan from the bank.

An accountant is responsible for the following activities: (1) receiving all cash; (2) maintaining the general ledger; (3) maintaining the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger that includes the individual records of each customer; (4) maintaining the journals for recording sales, purchases, and cash receipts; and (5) preparing monthly statements to be sent to customers. As a service to customers and employees, the company allows the accountant to cash checks of up to $50 with money from the cash receipts. When deposits are made, the checks are included in place of the cash receipts. What weaknesses in internal control exist in this system?

ANS: In this case, the principle of separation of duties is being violated. Because the accountant collects the cash and keeps the records for accounts receivable, he or she could divert incoming checks from customers and cash the checks out of cash collections. At the end of the month, when statements are mailed to customers, the accountant could destroy the statements to the customers whose checks he or she had embezzled. The customers then would believe that the company had received the payments because they would not receive a subsequent statement. In addition, there is no indication of any outside verification. Furthermore, allowing checks to replace cash receipts does not provide for consistent documentation of the firm's transactions. Cash and checks received should be deposited intact.

Colton, Inc., a specialty retailer of customized audio systems for automobiles, installed a perpetual inventory system in the second quarter of 2012. The new system allowed the firm to adjust its merchandise inventories to sales patterns more effectively and to prepare monthly financial statements. Although the system led to an improvement in sales and income, the gross margin on the monthly income statements was falling below both management's expectations and the industry average. At the end of 2013, a physical inventory revealed that actual merchandise inventory was considerably lower than the perpetual inventory records indicated. The merchandise inventories of some stores were off more than others, but all had deficiencies. What probably caused these losses and what steps could be taken to prevent them in the future? ANS: The merchandise inventory losses probably were due to shoplifting and embezzlement. Management must carefully review its controls at the individual stores and install a system that will protect its merchandise inventory from these forms of theft. This goal can be accomplished through an internal control structure that creates an environment that encourages compliance with a company's policies, a good accounting system, and specific activities designed to safeguard the merchandise inventory.

How is the matching rule applied when accounting for merchandise inventory?

Why are cost flow assumptions made when accounting for merchandise inventory? ANS: With changing prices, one would have to carefully track the flow of goods to obtain exact cost of goods sold and ending inventory amounts. Because tracking is usually impractical and sometimes impossible, cost flow assumptions are made to provide a good estimate of inventory cost with no need to track the flow of goods.

Explain how the accounting convention of conservatism applies to the lower-of-cost-or market rule. ANS: The lower-of-cost-or-market rule requires that inventory be written down to a lower value if the market, or replacement, cost is below its historical cost. This rule shows the application of the accounting convention of conservatism because a loss would be recognized prior to the sale of the inventory.

What is a LIFO liquidation, and what is its effect on income before income taxes? ANS: Under LIFO, ending inventory is assumed to consist of the oldest items. When prices are rising and ending inventory falls below the beginning inventory quantity, the current selling price is matched with the old costs, producing an unusually high increase to income before income taxes.

13. Why are the amounts determined for ending inventory and cost of goods sold the same under both the periodic and perpetual inventory systems when FIFO is used but not when LIFO is used? ANS: FIFO will provide the same valuation results for ending inventory and cost of goods sold under both systems because the ending inventory will always consist of the last items purchased. The results will not be the same using LIFO because the cost of goods sold would be determined at the time of each sale when using the perpetual system.

PROBLEM 1. Assume that during the physical count of the inventory of a large corporation for this year, $900,000 of merchandise was counted twice. The error was not detected, and the financial statements were prepared. Identify the individual statements that would be affected and explain the effect the count error would have on each. (Omit income tax consideration.) ANS: The double-counting of merchandise would cause the merchandise inventory amount shown on the balance sheet to be overstated by the $900,000 error. Consequently, total assets would be overstated by the same amount. The error would also cause cost of goods sold and gross margin on the income statement to be understated and overstated, respectively. The error would carry all the way through to the bottom of the income statement where the earnings before income taxes would be overstated by $900,000. The statement of stockholders' equity would show an overstated income after taxes as an increase to retained earnings. Thus total stockholders' equity would also be overstated on the balance sheet.

Assume that during the physical count of the inventory of a large corporation last year, $750,000 of merchandise was not counted. The error was not detected, and the financial statements for the current fiscal year were prepared. Identify the individual statements that would be affected and explain the effect the error would have on each of these statements. ANS: By understating last year's ending inventory, the company would have started the current year with an understated inventory balance. As a result, total assets would be understated by the same $750,000. The error would also cause cost of goods sold and gross margin on the income statement to be understated and overstated, respectively. Earnings before income taxes would be overstated by $750,000. This year's overstatement of earnings before income taxes, retained earnings, and inventory would exactly offset the understatement of each item on the prior year's statements.

Emil Hinkel owns and operates a large antique shop. He uses the specific identification method to account for transactions that affect inventory. Hinkel recently completed a physical inventory of the merchandise in his shop as part of his year-end work. Today, his accountant called to inform him that it would be necessary to adjust the inventory figure shown on the balance sheet, which will increase Hinkel's tax liability. Hinkel argued that the inventory had to be correct, because he counted it twice and matched every item to an invoice. Cite reasons why the accountant would find it necessary to adjust the inventory even if Hinkel's count is accurate. ANS: The inventory could have been adjusted for any of the following reasons: 1. Some items purchased and owned were still in transit when Hinkel took his physical count. 2. Hinkel had some merchandise on consignment or stored at another location. 3. Some items Hinkel counted had already been sold but not yet picked up by the buyer. 4. Hinkel forgot to add freight costs to the total cost of his inventory.

Jayne has become so busy she has neglected to keep after clients who have failed to pay her. As a result, Jayne has a large amount of accounts receivable and notes receivable on her balance sheet but not much cash. She continues to service clients, but she now realizes that her cash will soon be exhausted. Suggest some options Jayne has to achieve a strong cash balance. ANS: Some options Jayne Luke could explore to increase her cash balance are to (1) hire someone to work as an account collector for her, (2) use her large amount of receivables as collateral for a loan, (3) sell her accounts receivable to a factor, and (4) discount the notes receivable at a bank.

PTS: 1 DIF: Challenging OBJ: 3 NAT: AACSB Analytic | AICPA FN Measurement LOC: Analysis KEY: Uncollectible accounts receivable MSC: ACBSP-APC-12-Receivables Reporting 13. Explain the difference between the two methods used to estimate uncollectible accounts and identify which financial statement is emphasized by each method. ANS: The first method analyzes the net credit sales of the current period and is referred to as the percentage of net sales method. Because revenue from the current period only is being considered, the calculation results in an estimate of the uncollectible accounts expense for that same period. This is an attempt to quantify the risk taken by making sales on account in that period. Both the revenue being analyzed and the expense being calculated are income statement items; thus the emphasis is on the effect on net income on the current period's income statement. The second method is called the accounts receivable aging method. The accounts receivable are grouped according to how long they have been open. A different percentage of uncollectibility is applied to each age group and then all answers are summed. This results in an estimate of the amount of current receivables that will not be collected; it becomes the new balance for the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts account. An asset account is being analyzed and its related contra-asset account balance is estimated. Thus this method emphasizes an accurate balance sheet presentation of net accounts receivable and total assets. © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

8. Present two arguments in favor of the use of accelerated depreciation. ANS: First, assets tend to be more productive in the early years of their useful life. According to the matching rule, more depreciation should be taken in those years in which productivity and revenues are highest. Second, an increasing repair and maintenance expense, combined with a decreasing depreciation expense, produces a fairly constant expense over the years. © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Long-term assets include tangible assets, natural resources, and intangible assets. Explain the difference between each of these types of assets and explain how each is accounted for on the income statement. ANS: Tangible Assets: Tangible assets have physical substance and include buildings, equipment, and land. Most tangible assets are accounted for on the income statement through depreciation which is the periodic allocation of the cost of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset. Although land is a tangible asset, it is not depreciated as it has an unlimited life. Natural Resources: Natural resources are assets that are extracted from land and are purchased for their economic value. Coal, oil, and lumber are examples of natural resources. They are accounted for on the income statement through depletion which is the proportional allocation of the cost of the natural resource to the units extracted. Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are assets that have no physical substance such as copyrights, trademarks, goodwill, and software. Most intangible assets are accounted for on the income statement through amortization which is the periodic allocation of the cost of the asset to the periods it benefits. Some intangible assets, such as goodwill, are not subject to annual amortization but are still subject to an annual impairment test.

4. If the purchase of machinery is treated incorrectly as a revenue expenditure, what will be the effect on net income and total assets in the year of purchase and in the following year, and why? ANS: In the year of purchase, both net income and total assets will be understated as a result of the overstatement of expenses. In the following year, net income will be overstated because of the lack of the depreciation that should have been charged, and total assets will continue to be understated. © 2012 Cengage Learning.

Suppose an accounting intern mistakenly calculated depreciation expense on the Land account. She assigned it a 50-year life and a residual value of $10,000,000. Using the cost of the land (assume it was $811,000,000) and the straight-line method of depreciation, discuss the dollar effect of this error on pretax earnings and total assets. ANS: The depreciable amount would be the $811,000,000 cost less the estimated $10,000,000 residual value, or $801,000,000. Depreciating this amount over fifty years would calculate to $16,020,000 of depreciation expense per year. The pretax earnings and the total assets would be understated by this significant amount.

Bob Quinn is in the gravel business and has engaged you to assist in evaluating his company, Quinn Gravel Company. Your first step is to collect the facts about the company's operations. On January 3, 2013, Bob purchased a piece of property with gravel deposits for $3,155,000. He estimated that the gravel deposits contained 4,700,000 cubic yards of gravel. The gravel is used for making roads. After the gravel is gone, the land, which is in the desert, will be worth only about $100,000. The equipment required to extract the gravel cost $726,000. In addition, Bob had to build a small frame building to house the mine office and a small dining hall for the workers. The building cost $76,000 and will have no residual value after its estimated useful life of ten years. It cannot be moved from the mine site. The equipment has an estimated useful life of six years (with no residual value) and also cannot be moved from the mine site. Trucks for the project cost $154,000 (estimated life, six years; residual value, $10,000). The trucks, of course, can be used at a different site. Bob estimated that in five years all the gravel would be mined and the mine would be shut down. During 2013, 1,175,000 cubic yards of gravel were mined. The average selling price during the year was $1.33 per cubic yard, and at the end of the year 125,000 cubic yards remained unsold. Operating expenses were $426,000 for labor and $116,000 for other expenses. © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

a. Prepare adjusting entries to record depletion and depreciation for the first year of operation (2013). Assume that the depreciation rate is equal to the percentage of the total gravel mined during the year, unless the asset is movable. For movable assets, use the straight-line method.

Quinn Gravel Company is doing very poorly, as indicated by the net loss of $52,500. Based on the income statement, the gross margin is 51.1 percent of sales ($714,000 ÷ $1,396,500). Since the cost of gravel sold is set by the depletion cost, the only way to improve gross margin would be to raise the selling price. This action may be impossible because of competition. In this case, operating expenses must be reduced. The most logical candidate for reduction is Labor Expenses because it is the largest expense. Bob should try to reduce labor costs. Another large operating expense is Depreciation Expense for equipment. This expense is large because the equipment cannot be moved after the gravel pit is depleted and therefore must be written off over a short life. Perhaps Bob can find a way to increase the residual value by finding alternative uses or buyers for the equipment after the pit is depleted. If this can be done, depreciation expense can be reduced.

Leroy Mining Company purchased land containing an estimated 10,000,000 tons of ore for a cost of $750,000. The land without the ore is estimated to be worth $150,000 (the residual value). Buildings costing $45,000 with an estimated useful life of 20 years were erected on the site. Because of the remote location, the buildings have no residual value. The company expects that all the usable ore can be mined in eight years. During its first year of operation, the company mined 1,000,000 tons of ore and at the end of the year had an inventory of 200,000 tons. Determine the following amounts for the first year: (a) depletion charge per ton; (b) depletion expense for the year; and (c) depreciation expense for buildings, using the straight-line method.

$10,004 $10,882 $10,852 $10,054
ANS: C The present value of the bond is equal to the present value of the series of interest payments plus the present value of the payment at maturity, based on the market rate of interest, which is 6%. Both factors are determined using 10 periods (5 years x 2 periods per year) and 3% (6% ÷ 2 periods per year). The present value of the series of interest payments is $3,412 ($400 x 8.530), and the present value of the payment at maturity is $7,440 ($10,000 x 0.744). Therefore, the present value of the bond is $10,852 ($7,440 + $3,412).

9. Technically, what is meant by the amortization of a bond discount, and why is it necessary? ANS: Amortization of a bond discount is the periodic conversion of unamortized bond discount into interest expense. A bond discount in reality is additional interest. Accordingly, the matching rule dictates that this interest expense be recorded over the period of benefit (life of the bond).

On January 1, 2013, Woolfe Corporation issued five-year term bonds with a face value of $1,400,000. Interest is payable annually on December 31. The bonds were issued for $1,454,600. The effective interest method of amortization is used. Woolfe reported Bond Interest Expense of $130,914 on its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2013. Calculate the effective interest rate for these bonds. ANS: 9 percent ($130,914 ÷ $1,454,600) PTS: 1 DIF: Challenging OBJ: 5 NAT: AACSB Analytic | AICPA FN Measurement KEY: Bonds
LOC: Analysis
11. Comment on the change in both the carrying value and the balance of the Unamortized Bond Discount account over the life of a bond issue. ANS: The carrying value starts out lower than the face value when bonds are issued at a discount. Over the life of the bonds, carrying value increases and eventually equals the face value at the end of the bond term. The balance in the Unamortized Bond Discount account represents an amount that will be allocated to increase interest expense. Over the bond term, its balance is systematically reduced and will be zero at the end of the bond term.

Comment on the change in both the carrying value and the balance of the Unamortized Bond Premium account over the life of a bond issue. ANS: The carrying value starts out higher than the face value when bonds are issued at a premium. Over the life of the bonds, carrying value decreases and eventually equals the face value at the end of the bond term. The balance in the Unamortized Bond Premium account represents an amount that will be allocated to reduce interest expense. Over the bond term, its balance is systematically reduced and will be zero at the end of the bond term.

When bonds are converted to common stock, what is the basis for recording (valuing) the stock issued? ANS: The value assigned to the stock issued should be equal to the existing carrying value of the bonds converted. Accordingly, no gain or loss is recorded.

b. Since there are no interest payments on this bond, its present value is equal to the present value of a single payment. The formula is Present Value = Maturity Value Factor. The present value factors are equal to the issue prices (or percentages). Component due in 2017 Present Value Factor = 0.03254 From Table 3 in the appendix on future value and present value tables, the row for 30 periods (2017 minus 1987) gives 0.033 as the present value factor for 12 percent. Obviously, 0.03254 is very close to this factor. Therefore, the market interest rate on this component of the bond issue approximates 12 percent. Component due in 2027 Present Value Factor = 0.0138 From Table 3 in the appendix on future value and present value tables, the row for 40 periods (2027 minus 1987) shows the following present value factors: 0.011 for 12 percent 0.022 for 10 percent One can see that 0.0138 falls between 0.011 and 0.022. Therefore, the effective market rate will be between 10 percent and 12 percent, or about 11.5 percent.

Why must a corporation have sufficient retained earnings before it may declare cash dividends? ANS: By definition, a dividend is the distribution of assets generated by past earnings to the corporate owners. Accordingly, to pay a dividend that exceeds existing retained earnings is, in substance, to return a portion of the stockholders' investment (which normally is illegal).

10. Why might someone prefer to invest in a company by purchasing preferred stock rather than common stock? ANS: The primary advantages of owning preferred stock rather than common stock are that preferred stockholders (a) are given preference when dividends are declared and (b) have priority standing in claims to assets of the corporation upon liquidation.

People's Electric Company omitted all its preferred stock dividends indefinitely in an effort to improve liquidity. All of the company's cumulative preferred stock was affected. According to the Wall Street Journal, “Some interpreted the drastic action as a requisite for the cash-strapped utility to secure a new credit agreement. . . . If the credit agreement falls through, the omission of preferred-stock dividends would suggest People's Electric is perilously close to filing for bankruptcy.” What is cumulative preferred stock? Why is the omission of dividends on those shares a drastic action? If new bank financing is not obtained, why would the company have to consider declaring bankruptcy? ANS: Cumulative preferred stock is capital stock on which the fixed amount of dividends accumulates from year to year if not paid. No dividends can be paid on common stock until all dividends in arrears and any amounts currently due on preferred stock have been paid. The failure to pay dividends on cumulative preferred stock is a drastic action because the company can quickly find itself with no hope of paying either preferred dividends in arrears or future dividends to common stockholders. To survive, the company must obtain new financing, such as a bank loan, to catch up on its preferred dividends.

c. The average cost of the treasury stock was $34.72 ($1,736,000,000 ÷ 50,000,000 shares). The average original issue price was $3.53 [($62,500,000 + $114,000,000) ÷ 50,000,000 shares]. d. A company may have several reasons for owning treasury shares, including requirements of employee stock option plans or for use in purchasing other companies. But because Etowah retired the great majority of its treasury shares, it is more likely that the company's primary objective in buying the shares was to increase stockholders' value. By buying and retiring a large percentage (almost 25 percent) of its outstanding shares, Etowah increased both the earnings per share and the market value of its shares; both of these outcomes would be favorable to the company's stockholders.

Issuing common and preferred stock generally has been popular among corporations. However, some companies have bought back their common stock. For what reasons would a company buy back its own shares? ANS: A company may have several reasons for buying back its own shares. One reason is that it may have uses for the shares, such as for employee stock purchase plans or purchasing other companies. A second reason is to increase the price of the company's stock. A third reason is to increase earnings per share: With fewer shares outstanding, earnings per share should be higher. When the economy has been growing slowly, this is a way to accelerate the growth in earnings per share. A fourth reason is to reduce the cash that will have to be paid in the future for cash dividends. With fewer shares outstanding, less cash will have to be paid. A fifth reason is that management feels that investing in the company's own stock is a sound idea because it is a good value.

When preparing a statement of cash flows using the indirect method, why is depreciation added back to net income within the operating activities section? ANS: The indirect method begins with accrual-based net income, which includes a deduction for depreciation expense. However, depreciation expense does not represent a cash outflow and therefore must be added back to net income to cancel the deduction. As a result, depreciation expense will be omitted in the calculation of net cash flows from operating activities.

Why does the acquisition of land in exchange for common stock qualify as a noncash investing and financing transaction? ANS: By acquiring land in exchange for shares of stock, a company has altered its balance sheet with transactions that would normally involve cash, therefore appearing on the statement of cash flows. Even though cash is not involved in this transaction, the balance sheet changes are significant occurrences that should be disclosed in a schedule of significant noncash transactions in conjunction with the statement of cash flows.

2. During the year, Ollie's Outdoor Outfitters issued 20,000 shares of common stock in exchange for a prime piece of land. Two employees of the accounting department, Audrey and Neil, disagree as to the appearance of this particular transaction on the statement of cash flows. Audrey believes it to be a significant noncash transaction, and it therefore should be presented as such at the bottom of the statement. Neil contends that because this transaction did not cause any cash to flow in or out of the company, it has no place on the statement of cash flows. Who is correct and why?

ANS: Audrey is correct in her contention that the issuance of stock in exchange for land represents a significant noncash transaction and therefore should be disclosed in a separate schedule as part of the statement of cash flows. Usually, a transaction involving either part of this event would affect cash and would be included in the body of the cash flow statement. Because the movement of such items significantly affects the makeup of the balance sheet and income statement, adequate disclosure is necessary. Neil's comment that cash is not affected by this transaction is true, but because the composition of the other statements is significantly affected, this transaction should be included in the statement of cash flows. Also, the statement of cash flows attempts to link the income statement and balance sheet items and should report all significant transactions that affect the two statements.

8. How is it possible for a company to show a net loss for a given year, yet produce positive net cash flows from operating activities? ANS: A net loss means that accrual-based expenses exceeded accrual-based revenue for the period. However, if you eliminate the effect of (add back) such noncash expenses as depreciation, it is possible to have produced positive net cash flows from operating activities.

Based on the information given, compute the amounts to be shown and indicate how they would appear on the statement of cash flows. Assume that the indirect method is being used and that the plant assets were purchased for cash. ANS: Cash flows from investing activities Purchases of plant assets Sales of plant assets Net cash flows from investing activities *Cost Accumulated depreciation Carrying value Gain on sale of plant assets Sale price

2013 depreciation expense of $36,000 is added to net income to arrive at net cash flows from operating activities. The $16,000 gain, however, should be deducted from net income in the operating activities section.

Give two explanations for why the amount of cash outflow for equipment for the year might not equal the increase in the Equipment account balance from one balance sheet date to the next. ANS: Possible explanations for the cash expended for equipment not equaling the increase in the Equipment account during the year would be: 1. Some equipment owned at the beginning of the year was disposed of during the year. This would offset some of the acquisitions made during the year, thus causing the net increase in the Equipment account to be less than the amount acquired. 2. Some acquisitions of equipment may have been made for something other than cash. Other consideration such as inventory or shares of stock could have been given instead of cash. This would cause the Equipment account to increase without affecting the amount of cash disbursed. 3. Some acquisitions of equipment may have been made by giving a down payment in cash and a promissory note for the balance. Because the cash flow statement shows only the amount of cash expended, the down payment would be the amount that would appear, not the entire purchase price of the equipment.

Does the existence of conglomerates make financial performance evaluation easier or more difficult? Why? ANS: Conglomerates, or diversified companies, often operate in many unrelated industries. In addition, the conglomerate will normally report only on a consolidated basis. As a result, the use of industry norms becomes difficult because there may not be another conglomerate made up of the same group of industries.

12. Why is the quick ratio probably better than the current ratio as a measure of short-term liquidity? ANS: The current ratio includes all current assets in its numerator, including somewhat liquid or nonliquid items. The quick ratio is a better measure of short-term liquidity because it includes only those current assets that are highly liquid (cash, receivables, and short-term investments).

PTS: 1 DIF: Challenging OBJ: 4 NAT: AACSB Analytic | AICPA FN Measurement LOC: Analysis KEY: Ratio analysis MSC: ACBSP-APC-23-Financial Statement Analysis PROBLEM 1. Lois Kent has owned and managed the operations of a small chain of sporting goods stores for the past two years. She has asked her administrative assistant to provide her with some annual reports of other companies that sell sporting goods as well as some published reports showing norms for the sporting goods industry so that Lois can compare the financial ratios of her company with those of other companies that sell sporting goods. Discuss the limitations of using comparisons with other companies and industry norms, which Lois needs to remember. ANS: Lois can learn some important things about her company by comparing her ratios to those of other companies, but she needs to remember the following limitations on such comparisons: 1. Some companies considered to be in her industry and included in the published norms may do more than just sell sporting goods. For example, some companies in the sporting goods industry may have development of new products or sales to professional teams as their mainstay of operations as opposed to sales through retail outlets. Thus, the financial ratios of these companies should not be used for comparison purposes. 2. Some companies that sell a large amount of sporting goods also sell other items. Wal-Mart and K-Mart would be examples of such companies that have a foothold in several industries. The ratios of companies like these would not be comparable to those of Lois's stores. 3. Companies in the same industry that differ significantly in size from that of Lois's company would have financial ratios that most likely should not be used for comparison purposes. Large companies have more liquid assets and greater buying power than a smaller company like Lois's. 4. Companies in the same industry may use different accounting methods than Lois does. The use of different methods for inventory costing and depreciation of assets, for example, would affect income statement and balance sheet amounts. Companies could appear to be different when perhaps they are very comparable. Lois could compare her ratios with these companies after recalculating their ratios using the same accounting methods that her company uses.

Eva Gomez is considering investing money in the common stock of Casa Corporation. She has obtained the annual report of the company and calculated several financial ratios. Eva knows that her calculations are accurate, but does not know if the ratios indicate favorable or unfavorable things about the company. What three standards of comparison are available to Eva? What would each of the standards tell her about her ratios?

ANS: Three commonly used standards of comparison are rule-of-thumb measures, past performance of the company, and industry norms. Rule-of-thumb measures are overall standards not applicable to any specific industry. Eva could learn some of these from financial analysts or professors. These general standards would reveal any ratios that are significantly different from those of most other businesses. Eva could also investigate the past performance of the company. This would provide her with a history of company performance and indicate any positive or negative trends. The most informative of Eva's three options would be to compare her ratios with those of other companies in the same industry. This would tell her how well this company has performed relative to its competitors. She could find these from several published sources such as Dun & Bradstreet, The Wall Street Journal, Moody’s Investor Services, or Standard & Poor’s.

At the end of its first year of operations, Andrews Company calculated its depreciation expense using three different methods. Following are the calculations using these methods: Straight-line Double-declining balance Production
$45,000 78,000 62,000
Net income for Andrews Company using the straight-line method of depreciation is $92,000. Using this information, answer the following questions. calculate the following items: a. What would net income be using the double-declining balance method? b. What would net income be using the production method? ANS: a. $92,000 + $45,000 – $78,000 = $59,000 b. $92,000 + $45,000 – $62,000 = $75,000 PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate OBJ: 2 NAT: AACSB Analytic | AICPA FN Measurement LOC: Application KEY: Quality of earnings MSC: ACBSP-APC-23-Financial Statement Analysis 4.

12. Contrast the circumstances where horizontal analysis would be an effective analysis tool with those where common-sized analysis would be more useful. ANS: Horizontal analysis reveals meaningful information about changes in a particular line item on a financial statement. It compares an account or account group balance to some past balance. As an example, if a company's salaries expense is 8 percent higher this year than last year, it can be compared to an industry average. Horizontal analysis can also determine if a significant increase in advertising expense has created a significant increase in sales. Common-sized, or vertical, analysis reveals the proportional size of accounts or account groups when compared to the same account. For example, every line item on an income statement can be expressed as a percentage of net revenues. This informs the analyst how each dollar of revenue is allocated through operations. Calculations such as this are often presented in the form of a pie chart, with each piece representing portions of some common whole.

9. Nate Lobell is the president and sole owner of Gal's Pal Apparel, Inc. Gal's Pal has two wholly owned subsidiaries with which it occasionally transacts business. Nate has been trying to get the consolidated net income of Gal's Pal above the $1,000,000 mark so that he can qualify for a line of credit with his bank. This year Gal's Pal is on track to earn approximately $700,000 after all costs and expenses. Likewise, each subsidiary should have roughly $200,000 in net earnings by year end. Approximately 20 percent of the net earnings of Gal's Pal will come as a result of sales to the subsidiaries, which in turn sold the items to customers for a similar amount of profit. Nate is elated to learn that the expected total earnings of the three companies added together will exceed his $1,000,000 goal. Assuming the businesses finish the year as expected, discuss the result of Nate's request for a line of credit. ANS: Unfortunately, Nate will not make his $1,000,000 net income goal for the year if things keep going the way they are at present. Because 20 percent of the parent company's net earnings are a result of selling to the subsidiaries, they cannot be counted as both earnings of the parent and earnings of the subsidiary. Eliminating 20 percent of the parent's earnings will bring the earnings down to $560,000 [700,000 – ($700,000 0.2) = $560,000]. When this amount is added to the earnings of the subsidiaries, the total falls short of the $1,000,000 level established by Nate's bank.
