It also can increase through increases in retained earnings. The latter happens when the net income of the business is greater than any dividends paid to the shareholders.

Retained earnings is the amount of income earned by the company less any dividends paid to the stockholders since the company began operations. The retained earnings statement summarizes and explains the changes in retained earnings during the accounting period. $100,000 $400,000 Total Assets − $140,000 Total Liabilities − $160,000 Beginning Retained Earnings = $100,000

D)

One way that the company can increase stockholders' equity is by selling additional shares of stock to investors. Another way is by retaining some or all of the net income earned each year rather than paying it out in dividends. This accumulated income is the company's retained earnings.

E)

The retained earnings statement shows that the company was profitable for the year as there is reported net income for the period. If the company were to experience an operating loss, then this would be shown as a deduction from the beginning balance of retained earnings.

Comparing the current year balance sheet with the prior year balance sheet would give this information in the form of the difference between the contributed capital. Also, the statement of cash flows for the current year would show this information under cash flows from financing activities.

Liquidity relates to the company's ability to pay its obligations as they become due. Current assets are expected to be converted into cash within 1 year or one operating cycle, whichever is longer, so they are a key determinant of liquidity. 169.

Long-term assets are those that are expected to benefit the company beyond the current accounting period. Both the land and the buildings are expected to provide a benefit for more than one accounting period. Accumulated depreciation is the portion of the cost of the plant that has been expensed in the accounting periods to date. 171.

Ch 01 Accounting and the Financial Statements $360,000 Accounts Payable + $10,000 Salaries Payable + $240,000 Income Taxes Payable = $610,000 Current Ratio = 1.39 to 1 ($850,000 ÷ $610,000) The current ratio does not provide information about the composition of the company's current assets and current liabilities. Only total current assets are used to calculate the current ratio. 172. Current Assets = $850,000 $110,000 Cash + $350,000 Accounts Receivable + $330,000 Inventory + $40,000 Prepaid Insurance + $20,000 Supplies = $850,000 Current Liabilities = $610,000 $360,000 Accounts Payable + $10,000 Salaries Payable + $240,000 Income Taxes Payable = $610,000 Working Capital = $240,000 ($850,000 − $610,000) Working capital and the current ratio are both measures of liquidity. Working capital is a dollar amount and the information it can convey is limited. The current ratio is based on a relative relationship and hence allows comparisons to be made between different companies. 173. The current ratio increased from 2.00 to 1 to 4.00 to 1. This is an unusually large increase for most companies. A larger current ratio means a company is more liquid. Its current assets as a percentage of its current liabilities have increased. 174. Since the current ratio increased from prior year to current year, the current assets other than cash would have had to increase substantially to offset the decline in cash. However, cash could also have been used to pay down current liabilities but then current ratio would not be impacted substantially. 175. A)

Current ratio: 6.00 to 1 ($225,000 Cash + $110,000 Accounts Receivable + $80,000 Inventory + $5,000 Prepaid insurance) ÷ ($60,000 Accounts Payable + $10,000 Salaries Payable) = 6.00 to 1 Working capital: $350,000 $420,000 Total Current Assets − $70,000 Total Current Liabilities = $350,000

B)

The closer an asset is to being converted to cash, the more liquid the asset is. Some assets, like inventory, take much longer to turn into cash because they must be sold before collection of the cash can be made. Prepaid insurance is not as liquid as accounts receivable since it will be consumed as time passes. Receivables are more liquid than inventory because a sale has already occurred

C)

The statement of cash flows would be helpful to determine the cash inflows and outflows that occurred during the year. The balance sheet represents only the ending balance of the cash account. The statement of cash flows also identifies the sources and uses of cash by accounting activity.

C)

The purpose of the income statement is to provide information regarding the revenues and expenses of the company. The difference between the two shows the profitability of the company for a particular period of time.

D)

The company had net income of $150,000 for the period. Since revenues exceeded expenses for the period, the company would be considered profitable.

E)

This would not be the first year of operations for this company. The reasons for this are that the ending retained earnings balance is greater than the net income of $150,000. Since the ending balance of retained earnings is $560,000 and net income for the period was $150,000 as well as apparently no dividends were being paid to the stockholders during the year, the company began the year with a balance of $410,000 ($560,000 − $150,000) in retained earnings.

187. The groups and their decisions are: Stockholders: Management: Bankers: Creditors: Governmental agencies:

Is the company profitable enough to pay dividends? Did the company make a profit for the period? How should an item be priced? Should we continue operations? Can we give employees raises? Can the company pay interest and principal when it comes due? Can the company pay bills when they are due? How much did the company earn (i.e., how much taxes should be paid)?

188. All businesses engage in activities that can be categorized as financing, investing, or operating activities. The given balance sheet and income statement show that Baker's Pride Bakery has taken part in all the aforementioned activities and thus is a business entity. It has raised capital from stockholders and creditors and also carried on operations which resulted in sales and net income. 189. The company is organized as a corporation as evidenced by the stockholders' equity items. 190. 1. The balance sheet 2. The income statement 3. The retained earnings statement 4. The statement of cash flows Net income on the income statement increases retained earnings on the retained earnings statement. The balance on the retained earnings statement goes to the balance sheet. The ending balance for cash on the statement of cash flows is also shown on the balance sheet. The statement of cash flows explains the change in cash during the year. 191. The classified balance sheet provides information about the financial position of the company. It is expressed in terms of the accounting equation. When total liabilities are subtracted from total assets, the difference is stockholders' equity. 192. The amount of financing by the owners for the current year is represented by the amount of stockholders' equity, $145,320. 193. The amount of financing provided by creditors for the current year is the amount of liabilities reported on the balance sheet, $108,150. For the prior year, the amount was $117,432. Total liabilities decreased by $9,282, or 8.58% ($9,282 ÷ $108,150), from the prior year to the current year. 194. Investors are most interested in cash receipts from dividends and the profitability trend of the company. Creditors are most interested in cash to be received for interest payments and the repayment of the principal. If a company does not have sufficient cash flows, investors and creditors could suffer as a result. The financial position, shown on the company's balance sheet, is also a concern for both investors and creditors because even though the company may have what appears to be sufficient cash flows for the current period, the long-term cash flow could be weak. 195. The classification helps the users know how a company obtained its resources and whether a company will be able to pay its obligations when they become due.

Ch 01 Accounting and the Financial Statements determine the amount of working capital and the current ratio, which are both useful measures of liquidity. 196. Current liabilities are obligations that will be satisfied within the operating cycle or within 1 year if the cycle is shorter than 1 year. These can be satisfied through the payment of cash or by providing goods or services. Current assets will be converted into cash, or sold, or consumed during the operating cycle or within 1 year if the cycle is shorter. For most companies, both current assets and liabilities are reported on the balance sheet using a 1-year time period. 197. A)

Stockholders are interested in net income and dividends. They want to make sure the company is profitable. If a company is incurring losses, it may not pay dividends.

B)

Lenders are most interested in the company's ability to pay bills when they become due. Cash can be a big problem if a company does not have enough to pay its bills. This includes the company's ability to repay the lender.

198. Income statement: Trend of profitable operations Retained earnings statement: The payment of cash dividends in the past Balance sheet: The existence of sufficient cash from which to pay dividends Statement of cash flows: Trend of positive cash flows from operations 199. A)

Statement A is the classified balance sheet.

B)

Statement B is the multiple-step income statement.

200. 1. Income statement: Revenues – Expenses = Net Income (Net Loss) 2. Retained earnings statement: Beginning Retained Earnings + Net Income (Net Loss) – Dividends = Ending Retained Earnings 3. Balance sheet: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity 4. Statement of cash flows: Beginning Cash +/– Operating Cash Flows +/– Investing Cash Flows +/– Financing Cash Flows = Ending Cash

201. The company was profitable in both years. For the current year, total revenues include net sales of $229,301 and other income $693, for a total of $229,994. Total expenses for the current year include cost of sales of $135,453, selling, general, and administrative expenses of $64,832, and income tax expense of $3,534, for a total of $203,819. Information about revenues, expenses, and profitability is reported on the income statement. 202. An income statement reports the company's revenues and expenses for a period of time and shows the company's operating performance and profitability (or lack thereof). 203. First, point out that retained earnings is an important source of financing for NuWave. Then explain that you believe that it is in the shareholders' best interest to reinvest the company's earnings into the many profitable growth opportunities available rather than pay dividends. If a firm has been profitable for many years and if its stockholders have been willing to forgo large dividends, retained earnings may be a large portion of equity. Remind them that the reinvestment of the earnings hopefully will result in increased wealth for them in the future as the company profits from its growth.

160. Comparability allows comparisons to be made between or among companies. Even though a certain amount of freedom exists in selecting accounting principles, when this information is disclosed in financial statements, users can still compare the information when they know what principle is used. Consistency refers to the application of the same accounting principles over time. It involves the relationships between a set of numbers over several periods, but within one company only, unlike comparability that can be between or among companies. 161. Conservatism is choosing the path that will be least likely to overstate assets or income. It is used in situations in which there is uncertainty about how to account for a particular item. In accounting, it is used in the balance sheet and income statement in an effort to provide the least optimistic amount. Conservatism is a prudent reaction to uncertainty that offsets management's natural optimism. 162. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are a set of guidelines that are based on a conceptual framework. They represent the various rules, practices, and other procedures used as a basis for accounting principles. GAAP was created in response to the need to make it easier to use financial statements over time and across companies. 163. A)

Monetary Unit Assumption. Financial statements must be reported in monetary terms, and the standard monetary unit should be denominated in one currency.

B)

Economic Entity Assumption. A business can take three forms. Regardless of the form, however, the unit itself is distinct from its owners.

C)

Continuity (Going Concern) Assumption. A business is assumed to continue to operate long enough to carry out its obligations, to more accurately reflect the valuation of assets and to appropriately allocate costs to accounting periods.

164. The two fundamental characteristics that useful accounting information should possess are relevance and faithful representation. Relevant information has the capacity to make a difference in a decision. It helps users predict future events or provides feedback. Accounting information should be a faithful representation of the real-world economic event that it is intending to portray. Faithfully represented information should be complete (include all necessary information for the user to understand the economic event), neutral (unbiased), and free from error (as accurate as possible). 165.

Ch 02 The Accounting Information System for each basic element reported in an entity's financial statements. A separate record is prepared for each asset, liability, stockholders' equity, revenue, expense, gain, loss, and dividend declared element.

B)

A chart of accounts is a list of all accounts (financial statement elements) used by a company, including numbers assigned to the accounts by the entity to facilitate bookkeeping activities. The chart of accounts is used to locate accounts in a general ledger.

C)

In a double-entry system with debits and credits, equal debit and credit amounts are recorded for the effects of each transaction on an entity's accounts. Increases and decreases are recorded as debits (left-side entries) or credits (right-side entries) in the accounts. To maintain the equality of the accounting equation, assets = liabilities + stockholders' equity, the rules of debit and credit require that some accounts increase by debits and decrease by credits and that other accounts increase by credits and decrease by debits.

D)

A journal is an accounting record in which all business transactions are recorded in chronological order as they occur. The transaction date, accounts affected, amounts to be debited and credited to the affected accounts, and a brief description of the transaction are recorded. As the amounts are transferred to the accounts in the general ledger, the account numbers are entered in the Posting Reference column of the journal.

E)

A general ledger is a book or file that contains a record for each account used by an entity. The individual account records contain the monetary amounts transferred from the general journal entries. The difference between the debit and credit entries is the account balance. Periodically, the account balances are listed in a trial balance and used in the preparation of financial statements.

F)

A trial balance is a schedule or list of all accounts and their balances from the general ledger. Amounts for accounts with debit balances are listed in one column, and amounts for accounts with credit balances are listed in a second column. The sum of the debit and credit balances should be equal in the double-entry system. If the sums of the debit and credit balances are not equal, procedures for locating the error(s) must be applied. The trial balance provides information that is needed to prepare financial statements.

166. A)

Cash was received for services provided to customers.

B)

Customers were billed for services provided.

C)

Cash was collected from customers who had been billed previously.

D)

Cash was collected from customers for services to be provided later.

163. The steps in the accounting cycle are as follows: 1. Collect and analyze information from source documents. 2. Journalize transactions. 3. Post transactions to accounts in the ledger. 4. Adjust the accounts. 5. Prepare financial statements. 164. Cash-basis accounting is not conducive to a comprehensive view of a company's financial health. By recording only the cash effect of transactions, cash-basis financial statements may not reflect all of the assets and liabilities of a company at a particular date. The accrual process is designed to recognize revenue when actually earned and expenses when actually incurred regardless of when cash changes hands. This is in keeping with the matching principle and provides a better picture of a company's true financial health. 165. Adjustments are necessary under the accrual basis because income represents the amounts that are earned during the Powered by Cognero

Ch 03 Accrual Accounting period, not just collected in cash. The accrual basis includes expenses that have been incurred regardless of whether a payment has been made or not. Net income under the accrual basis represents the net effect of amounts earned, less amounts incurred, while under the cash basis only receipts and payments of cash are recorded. 166. The limitations of cash-basis accounting are very clear. Using this approach, too few financial transactions that impact a company's financial health are shown for the reader, hence its limitations. The cash basis does not accurately match revenue with related expenses or accurately reflect the earnings of a business for a specific time period. 167. The revenue recognition principle requires that revenues be recognized, or recorded, in the period in which goods have been delivered to a customer or when services have been performed for a customer. 168. The cash basis of accounting assumes revenues are recognized when cash is received and expenses are recognized when cash is paid. The accrual basis assumes revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. The two approaches differ in the timing of when revenues and expenses are recognized on the income statement. The adjusting process is used for the accrual basis but is unnecessary for the cash basis of accounting. 169. The revenue from cake sales should be booked at the time the cake is delivered to the customer. This is when the earnings process is completed. Amounts for contracts received in advance should not be recorded as revenue but should be recorded as a liability such as Unearned Revenue. On a periodic basis, an appropriate amount (e.g., in this case 1/12 each month) should be transferred from the liability account to the catering revenue account. 170. Adjusting entries are journal entries made at the end of the accounting period to record the completed portion of the partially completed transactions. Adjusting entries are necessary to apply the revenue recognition and matching principles and ensure that a company's financial statements include the proper amount for revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity. 171. Cash paid before an expense is incurred results in a deferred expense, which is recognized as an asset on the balance sheet. The adjusting entry reduces the asset and recognizes a corresponding amount of expense. Cash received before revenue is earned requires the recognition of a liability, a deferred revenue. The adjusting entry reduces the liability and recognizes a corresponding amount of revenue. At the end of the period, if cash has not been paid or received, amounts must be accrued for any assets expected to be received and the related revenue, or any liabilities owed and the related expenses. 172. A) Because of the omission, expenses on the income statement will be understated; therefore, net income will be overstated by the same amount. On the retained earnings statement, just as net income is overstated, so also are the ending retained earnings. On the balance sheet, assets and retained earnings (and therefore stockholders' equity) are overstated. B) This error will not likely prevent the board from declaring the dividend. Since depreciation is a noncash expense, no cash is required. (Granted, the balance in the retained earnings account is too high; however, it is unlikely that the dividend will be larger than the currently reported balance in the account. The fact that dividends are paid with cash but "out of" retained earnings is covered in a later chapter.)

169. Each cashier should start with their own cash drawer, with the manager noting the amount of cash in the drawer at the beginning of each shift. The cash should be counted when the cashier ends work. The manager should take a cash register reading and reconcile this reading with the amount of cash reported in the drawer at the end of the shift. The manager should also observe the activities of the cashiers from time to time during their shifts. It may not be possible to achieve a complete segregation of duties as the manager likely will be responsible for depositing cash and reconciling Powered by Cognero

CH 04 Internal Control and Cash cashier drawers. 170. The following procedures should be considered: 1. All sales should be recorded on prenumbered sales slips. A separate type of form could be used to distinguish cash and credit sales. 2. On the cash sales slips, important information should be recorded such as the quantity, price, and totals. 3. Separate cash register keys should be used to enter cash and credit sales transactions. 4. The number of employees allowed to operate the cash register should be limited, and separate cash drawers should be used for each cashier. 5. On a daily basis, the cash register tape should be reconciled with the cash, the cash sales slips, and the credit sales slips. 6. You should try to be the only one with responsibility for making the bank deposits. 7. You should observe that employees follow established procedures for control over cash and credit sales and ensure that your assistant manager is adequately trained to observe in your absence. 171. The following procedures should be considered: The purchasing department should determine the vendor to use rather than the foreman. All materials should be counted as soon as they are received and a receiving report should be prepared. Invoices should be compared with purchase orders and receiving reports before they are approved for payment. Invoices should be checked for mathematical accuracy before they are approved for payment. Checks should be prepared by the treasurer's department so that the accounting department does not have access to blank checks. 172. Control Activity Clearly defined authority and responsibility

Segregation of duties

Adequate documents and records Safeguards over assets and records

Checks on recorded amounts

Possible Examples Only an authorized, designated person should be responsible for signing company checks. Only one cashier should be assigned to any cash register. The duties of the cashier or check-signer, who handle cash, should not be shared with any employee who is responsible for maintaining records for the cash account. Company checks should be prenumbered and issued in sequence. Cash on hand and blank checks should be stored in vaults or other locked facilities. Passwords should be used to control access to computerized records. Bank reconciliations should be prepared on a monthly basis. Mathematical accuracy of cash records should be checked by an employee other than the preparer of the record. Management should review cash reports.

CH 04 Internal Control and Cash than the cash they put in the cash drawer in order to cover a shortage and/or build up an overage. With this control, there is no real pressure on the employees to be diligent in their operation of the register. B) Yes, it could be argued that you have a professional obligation to report your coworker. However, it is likely that the manager already knows since under this system there probably are very few, if any, instances of cash shortages. 174. Cash equivalents are very short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 3 months or less at the date of purchase. Because these securities can be converted into cash when needed very quickly and without material loss, they are considered to be the equivalent of cash and are normally included with cash on the balance sheet and statement of cash flows. 175. Adjustments are usually necessary because the dollar amount in the company's cash account may differ from the actual amount available to use. Items that cause this difference include bank service charges deducted from the company's bank account, interest earned added to the company's bank account, NSF checks returned with the bank statement, and other miscellaneous transfers that may not have been recorded in the company's accounting records. Any debit memos and credit memos that have been recorded by the bank need to be adjusted. Additionally, any errors in recording transactions also need to be adjusted. 176. Using a petty cash fund can control small cash payments. The amount of cash to which employees have direct access is small. A designated custodian should control the use of the petty cash and the documentation that is necessary for any disbursements of petty cash. The custodian submits all supporting documentation to the company. After company personnel determine the authenticity of the documents, the custodian is given an amount to replenish the petty cash fund. The company then records the amounts spent in the accounting records. 177. Checking accounts allow entities an opportunity to make all or most of its cash payments by check. Preventing direct access to cash provides better internal control. Bank statements and bank reconciliations serve a control function by identifying errors and providing an inspection of detailed records that deters theft. 178. Cash management is necessary to ensure that a company maximizes the usefulness of its cash balances. A company can significantly increase its net income through its cash management policies. At any point in time, management should ensure that the company has neither too little nor too much cash on hand. Cash on hand is necessary for payment to suppliers, employees, and other creditors. Since cash is essentially a nonearning asset, too much cash means the company may not be earning the return that it could if it were invested otherwise.

The company uses the allowance method. This is seen by the presentation on the balance sheet of the receivables that shows a deduction from the gross amount of receivables. Only a company that uses the allowance method would show a deduction from receivables for doubtful accounts.

102.

110. The percentage of credit sales method emphasizes the matching principle. The aging method emphasizes the valuation of the receivables at the net amount to be collected. The company would be concerned with both income measurement and balance sheet valuation, but it must choose one of the two approaches, most likely based on the management philosophy. If most customer balances fall within a small range of variation, the percentage of credit sales method, which is easier to apply, will probably give reasonable results for both income measurement and asset valuation. However, if there is a wide variation in the amounts of customer balances, and especially if some large customer balances are significantly past due and their collection is uncertain, then the aging method should give better results for both income measurement and asset valuation.

Ch 05 Sales and Receivables 111. The direct write-off method is not an acceptable generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) procedure to account for bad debts. It does not adequately match bad debt expense with the revenues unless the accounts are determined to be uncollected in the same year that the revenue was recognized. In rare cases, when a company has very infrequent and immaterial amounts of bad debts, the direct write-off method can be justified. It does not appear that the company's situation meets these conditions for use of the direct write-off method. 112. $99,300 $89,000 Account Receivable—January 1 + $411,000 Sales − $12,000 Sales Returns and Allowances − $385,100 Cash Collections − $3,600 Accounts Written Off = $99,300 113.

126. An aging schedule categorizes the various account receivable amounts by age based on how long an account is past due or outstanding. A company uses this for estimating how much of its accounts receivable are expected to default. It is a refined approach because it lists the dollar amounts of receivables based on the period of time each has been outstanding, such as 30, 60, or more days outstanding. 127. After giving customers a grace period, you might send them a series of past due notices. The tone of the notices would get increasingly urgent. Eventually, you may decide to turn the account over to a collection agency. If all these efforts fail, you would likely write off the account. 128. Using credit cards often accelerates cash collections. The bank charges a fee, but the company receives payment from the credit card company instead of waiting until the customer actually pays. A company is also able to accelerate cash by factoring receivables to the bank. This involves selling accounts receivable to the bank instead of waiting for the customer to actually pay. 129. With an accounts receivable turnover of 10 times per year, the company's receivables are outstanding approximately 36 days prior to collection (360/10 days). Given that credit terms are 2/10, n/20, one would expect customers to pay within 20 days. Customers should pay within 10 days to obtain the discount of 2%. The company needs to make more efforts to collect its receivables given its current credit terms.

181. Manufacturers have to produce the products they sell, whereas retailers purchase products that are ready to sell (i.e., the retailers purchase finished goods from manufacturers). Inventories of manufacturers, therefore, will consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. 182. If Yu Company uses a perpetual system, it will have better control of its inventory. Losses due to theft, shrinkage, etc., can be identified at the end of the accounting period when a physical inventory count is taken. Also, information will be available on inventory balances and cost of goods sold for interim financial statements. These items must be estimated under a periodic system.

Ch 06 Cost of Goods Sold and Inventory keep sufficient quantities on hand to meet customer demands. When the perpetual inventory system is linked to the computer, the cost of maintaining a perpetual inventory can be decreased and the efficiency of the system can be improved. Yu Company will have information that is more current and will obtain that information more quickly with the computer system. 183. Cost or other values must be assigned to merchandise that makes up a company's inventory. As the merchandise is sold, these costs are assigned to cost of goods sold (expense). Since expenses are deducted from revenues to determine the net income or net loss for the period, inventory valuation affects the amount of income or loss measured. 184. One way to estimate the company's lost inventory is to use its historical gross profit percentage. You can subtract that percentage from 100% to find the cost of goods sold percentage. For example, if the company's gross profit percentage has historically averaged 40%, then the CGS percentage would be 60%. Multiplying the CGS % by sales during the period will estimate the company's cost of goods sold to date. You can then use the cost of goods sold model to estimate the ending inventory. Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases – CGS 185. Under F.O.B. shipping point terms, the buyer normally pays the transportation costs, commonly termed freight-in.

188.

A)

Raw materials consist of materials and supplies that have not yet been placed into process to produce the company's products. Work-in-process includes materials and supplies and direct labor and other costs for products started but not completed during the period. Finished goods include costs to produce products that were completed but not sold during the period.

B)

Kayla Enterprises must be using the LIFO inventory method for at least some, if not all, of its inventories because the company has disclosed the amount of the adjustment that converts its inventories at FIFO to LIFO. There is a significant difference in the "Adjustment to LIFO" in the inventories for the current year from the previous year.

C)

The "Adjustment to LIFO" of inventories is the amount by which current replacement cost of inventories exceeds the actual cost assigned to inventory under the LIFO method. Through the use of the LIFO method, Kayla Enterprises has been able to assign recent, higher costs to the cost of products sold and retain older, lower costs in its asset balances for inventories. Thus, Kayla Enterprises has reported lower amounts for net income than it would if the FIFO method had been used.

189. A LIFO liquidation means that some of the inventory items included in inventory under the LIFO method have been sold; that is, the company sold more units of merchandise than it purchased during the year. If the units sold in the LIFO liquidation had been carried in inventory at older, lower prices, these lower prices will have been assigned to cost of goods sold. Thus, income will be higher than it would have been if the company had purchased enough units at current prices to maintain its inventory at the lower prices. If the effects of this unexpected LIFO liquidation are material, the information may be relevant to some of the users of the financial statements. 190. An overstatement of ending inventory for the current period results in an understatement of cost of goods sold and an overstatement of income before taxes for the same period. Cost of goods sold is understated because the overstated ending inventory figure is deducted from the cost of goods available for sale to determine cost of goods sold. Thus, a larger portion of the cost of goods available for sale is assigned to inventory and a smaller portion is assigned to cost of goods sold than should be. The overstated inventory figure also overstates the amount reported as an asset on the balance sheet. The overstatement of income results in an overstatement of retained earnings when net income is transferred to retained earnings through a closing entry. 191. a. b. c. d. e. f.

Both inventory systems will record the sales revenue; however, only under the perpetual system is a second entry required. The second entry debits Cost of Goods Sold and credits the perpetual inventory. Under the periodic system, the cost of goods sold and changes in the inventory account are determined only at the end of the period by applying the cost of goods sold model.

In the notes to the financial statements, the company indicates that it uses different depreciation methods for different types of plant and equipment assets. Explain why the company might follow this policy. 122. Finnegan's Fixtures purchased molding machines at the beginning of Year 1 for $10,000. The machines have an estimated residual value of $2,000 and an estimated life of 5 years or 50,000 hours of operation. The company is considering alternative depreciation methods. Calculate the following: A)

Accumulated depreciation at December 31, Year 2, using the straight-line depreciation method.

B)

Depreciation expense for Year 1 using the units-of-production depreciation method. Assume that the machines are operated for 5,000 hours in Year 1 and 8,000 hours in Year 2.

C)

The book value of the equipment at December 31, Year 2, using the double-decliningbalance depreciation method.

D)

What are the advantages of using straight-line depreciation for financial reporting purposes?

123. Fiona's Italian Market purchased a delivery truck for $25,000 at the beginning of Year 1. The truck has an estimated life of 5 years and an estimated residual value of $5,000. The company plans to use the straight-line depreciation method. At the beginning of Year 2, the company spent $4,000 to replace the truck's transmission. This resulted in a 2-year extension of useful life but no change in residual value. A)

What type of cost is the $4,000? What should be its accounting treatment?

B)

Calculate the asset's book value at the end of Year 1.

C)

All depreciation methods yield the same amount of total depreciation.

D)

The double-declining balance method is an accelerated method.

E)

Accelerated depreciation allocates more expense to the earlier accounting periods than straight-line depreciation. Accelerated depreciation causes net income in the earlier years to be lower, so lower taxes are paid and cash flow is increased than if the straight-line method was used.

The factors that may influence the change in useful life are the same factors that influence the initial selection of a useful life. These factors are anticipated decline in usefulness due to physical deterioration such as wear and tear, obsolescence due to new technology, and the company's repair and maintenance policy.

120. Accelerated depreciation allows a company to minimize its net income and hence save income taxes in the early years because depreciation is considered a tax shield (i.e., more expense lowers taxes paid).

Any saving in income taxes in the early years provides additional cash flows since the amount paid for taxes will be less than if straight-line was used. Depreciation itself does not use cash. 121. Depreciation is a cost allocation process whose purpose is to allocate the original acquisition cost to the periods benefited by the asset. The method chosen should be based on the decline in the asset's usefulness. Some assets decline in usefulness more rapidly than others, which causes management to select the best method for each asset. 122. A)

Straight-line is an easy, simple method. Because of this, it is also the most popular. It helps report more net profit in the earlier years as compared to the accelerated methods.

The $4,000 cost is a capital expenditure. It increases the plant asset's useful life, so it must be capitalized. ($25,000 − $5,000) ÷ 5 = $4,000 per year $25,000 − $4,000 = $21,000

131. Operating assets are used by a company in the normal course of operations to generate revenue. Operating assets constitute the major percentage of total assets of many companies. Current assets such as cash, inventory, and short-term investments are important to a company's short-term liquidity. Operating assets are reported as long-term assets on the balance sheet and are absolutely essential to its long-term future. 132. Tangible operating assets have physical existence, while intangible assets have no physical existence. Intangibles represent a right and provide future benefits relative to that right. All operating assets are essential to a company's longterm future. 133. Tangible plant assets and natural resources are reported on the balance sheet as property, plant, and equipment. Tangible plant assets are shown at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Natural resources are reported at cost less accumulated depletion. Intangible assets are reported in a separate asset section called intangible assets and are reported net of amortization since inception. A separate accumulated amortization account is not necessary with intangibles. 134. Acquisition costs should include all the costs that are normal and necessary to acquire the asset and prepare it for its intended use. This generally includes purchase price, taxes paid at the time of purchase, transportation charges, and installation costs. 135. Estimates are used when computing depreciation, depletion, and amortization expenses. Of course, all of these items impact profit. Estimates include the length of an asset's useful life, its residual value, its total productive life (e.g., in hours), the total amount of output expected from a natural resource, and the impact of capital and revenue expenditures on Powered by Cognero

Ch 07 Operating Assets an asset's remaining useful life and residual value. In addition, the method of depreciation also impacts the profit reported in any given year. For example, the straight-line method will produce smaller depreciation expense amounts (and, therefore, greater profit) in early years than will the declining-balance method. Finally, ethical issues will be raised if the entrepreneur were to choose unreasonably long useful lives or unrealistically high residual values, for example, to minimize the reported depreciation expense amount and therefore maximize net profit. 136. The book value of a plant asset is the asset's original cost less accumulated depreciation. The amount of accumulated depreciation depends on the depreciation method chosen. The market value of a plant asset is the amount for which the asset can be sold in the market. Book value does not follow the market value. The residual value of a plant asset is an estimate of the amount for which the asset can be sold at the end of its useful life. 137. There are three categories of operating assets that require different allocation procedures. Tangible plant assets costs are allocated using one of several depreciation methods, while the costs of intangible assets are allocated to accounting periods using straight-line amortization. The costs of natural resources are allocated using an appropriate depletion rate. 138. When technology is changing rapidly, more cost should be allocated during the early years of life when the plant asset is more productive. This is achieved by using an accelerated depreciation method like MACRS or double-decliningbalance. These methods create a larger expense in the early years of life and reduce the income for the period, which reduces the amount of taxes paid. A company should select the method for financial reporting that maximizes net income such as straight-line, and the method that creates the lowest taxes for tax reporting such as MACRS. 139. The company should use the straight-line method to minimize the time spent in calculating depreciation. This method also creates the smallest expense in the early years of a plant asset's life and reports the largest amount of net income to please shareholders or, as in this case, reports the smallest amount of net loss. 140. Many companies use MACRS because it is an approved accelerated tax method of depreciation that allocates more cost in the earlier years of useful life than other methods. This results in lower taxes. Yes, a company can use one method for accounting purposes and another method for tax purposes. For accounting purposes, the goal of depreciation is to properly allocate the cost of the plant asset to the accounting periods benefited. A company should select a tax depreciation method that allows it to pay the least possible taxes in the early years, thus increasing available cash flow. 141. Capital expenditures are added to the acquisition cost of a plant asset because they either extend the useful life or make the asset more productive. Revenue expenditures are reported on the income statement as expenses because they help maintain the level of benefits provided by the asset and relate only to the current period. 142. When an expenditure is incurred, a determination must be made as to whether the cost is a capital or revenue expenditure. Capital expenditures are reported as assets, whereas revenue expenditures are reported as expenses. If the dollar amount of the expenditure is small, the cost of accounting for the item as a capital expenditure (and subsequent depreciation) may outweigh the benefits. A company may create a company policy that treats expenditures below a certain amount as expenses. 143. Agree or Expenditure Proper Treatment, if Disagree Disagree? 1.

The fixed asset turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company is using its fixed assets.

B)

The average age indicates how old the plant assets are and assists managers in estimating future capital expenditures.

145. Research and development costs should be expensed immediately in the period incurred because of the uncertainty of predicting whether any future benefits will result and in determining which accounting period the benefits will impact. 146. Goodwill arises when a company purchases a business and the amount of the purchase price paid exceeds the market value of the individual net assets at the time of purchase. It is reported as an intangible asset on the balance sheet at historical cost. It has an indefinite life and should not be amortized. It should be reviewed annually for impairment.

Ch 08 Current and Contingent Liabilities 151. Why are unearned revenues considered current liabilities? 152. The following footnote accompanied Precious Metal Fabrications’ financial statements: Note 7−Litigation On December 2 of the current year, the Company was served with a class action complaint filed in federal court in Covington, Kentucky. The complaint, captioned Bradford Haynes vs. The Company, was filed by a shareholder of the Company on behalf of himself and other shareholders who purchased the Company's common stock during the period of March 31 through December 31 of the previous year. The plaintiff alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws by making untrue statements of material facts and omitting material facts concerning the Company's construction and start-up of its new manufacturing facility in Plano, Texas. Also named as defendants in the complaint are certain officers and directors of the Company. The Plaintiff is seeking an unspecified amount of monetary damages. While this action is in its preliminary stages, management believes that the allegations are without merit and the Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously. What type of liability is presented in this disclosure? 153.

Should the company record a liability in the current year for this litigation? Why or why not? 154. Why is the liability for warranties recognized during the period when products are sold rather than the period when warranty claims are satisfied? 155. What type of entry is made to create a credit balance in the estimated warranty liability account on the balance sheet? What account would be debited in this entry? 156. You are the owner and operator of a growing small business. You would like to expand your product offerings but need $25,000 in short-term financing in order to do so.

144. The current ratio is computed by dividing current assets by current liabilities: Year 2: $9,428 ÷ $8,811 = 1.07 Year 1: $8,625 ÷ $8,484 = 1.02 The current ratio has improved from Year 1 to Year 2. As a general rule of thumb, a current ratio greater than 2.00 is appropriate, so Gibraltar's current ratio is still deemed low despite the current year increase. The quick ratio is computed by dividing (cash + marketable securities + accounts receivable) / current liabilities: Year 2: ($1,780 + $1,000 + $2,644) ÷ $8,811 = 0.6156 Year 1: ($1,649 + $750 + $2,700) ÷ $8,484 = 0.6010 The quick ratio improved from Year 1 to Year 2; however, Gibraltar's quick assets are not sufficient to cover its current liabilities. The cash ratio is computed by dividing (cash + marketable securities) by current liabilities: Year 2: ($1,780 + $1,000) ÷ $8,811 = 0.32 Year 1: ($1,649 + $750) ÷ $8,484 = 0.28 The cash ratio has also improved from Year 1 to Year 2; yet, Gibraltar's cash and marketable securities are not sufficient to cover its current liabilities.

145. The current ratio is computed by dividing current assets by current liabilities: Year 2: ($214.2 + $100.0 + $72.1 + $44.7 + $10.8) ÷ $190.8 = 2.32 Year 1: ($124.9 + $99.5 + $75.6 + $40.3 + $12.0) ÷ $187.6 = 1.88 The current ratio has improved from Year 1 to Year 2. As a general rule of thumb, a current ratio greater than 2.00 is appropriate, so Glass Doctor's current ratio is fine as of December 31 of Year 2. The quick ratio is computed by dividing (cash + marketable securities + accounts receivable) by current liabilities: Year 2: ($100.0 + $44.7 + $214.2) ÷ $190.8 = 1.88 Year 1: ($99.5 + $40.3 + $124.9) ÷ $187.6 = 1.41 The quick ratio improved from Year 1 to Year 2. Glass Doctor's quick assets are more than sufficient to cover its current liabilities. The cash ratio is computed by dividing (cash + marketable securities) by current liabilities: Year 2: $100.0 + $44.7) ÷ $190.8 = 0.76 Year 1: ($99.5 + $40.3) ÷ $187.6 = 0.75 The cash ratio has also improved slightly from Year 1 to Year 2; yet, Glass Doctor's cash and marketable securities are not sufficient to cover its current liabilities. The operating cash flow ratio is computed by dividing cash from operating activities by current liabilities: Year 2: $204.6 ÷ $190.8 = 1.07 Year 1: $201.1 ÷ $187.6 = 1.07 The cash ratio has remained constant between Year 1 and Year 2. Glass Doctor's cash flows from operating activities are sufficient to cover its current liabilities. 146. Current maturities of long-term debt represent the portion of long-term debt principal that is due to be paid in the next year. If any long-term debt is to be paid with cash in the coming year, it must be classified as a current liability and presented in the current liabilities section of the balance sheet.

Ch 08 Current and Contingent Liabilities 147. Businesses are required to withhold taxes from employees' earnings and to pay taxes based on wages and salaries paid to employees. These withholding and payroll taxes are liabilities until they are paid to the taxing authority. Note that there are really two sources for these taxes: employees and employers. Employees: Employees must pay certain taxes that are "withheld" from their paycheck. This is the difference between gross pay and net pay. The business does not have any rights to this money; instead, as with sales tax, it must pay these amounts to the proper authority. The standard withholdings are federal, state, and possibly city or county income taxes, as well as Social Security and Medicare. Employees may also have amounts withheld for such things as retirement accounts (e.g., 401-K), parking, and health insurance, among other things, but these are not taxes. Employers: The business itself must pay certain taxes based on employee payrolls. These amounts are not withheld from employee pay; they are additional amounts that must be paid over and above gross pay. For example, employers match employee contributions to Social Security and Medicare (together these are called FICA). Employers also pay federal and state unemployment taxes (these are used to fund unemployment benefits) based on their history of firing employees (because fired employees are eligible to collect unemployment benefits). Finally, employers do have other costs— typically called fringe benefits—associated with employees, but these are not taxes. Examples of fringe benefits include employer contributions to retirement accounts and health insurance. 148. Accrued liabilities, or accrued payables, represent the completed portion of activities that are in process at the end of the period, so adjusting entries are required for their proper recognition. Examples of accounts that would be classified as accrued liabilities in the current liabilities section of the balance sheet include Wages Payable, Interest Payable, Income Taxes Payable, Social Security Taxes Payable, Unemployment Taxes Payable, and Medicare Taxes Payable. 149. Of course, the primary concern is which approach will perform the function better. In addition, you should take into consideration that a new employee will cost you more than just salary. You will also have to match their Social Security taxes and possibly pay unemployment taxes as well. Finally, you will have to consider additional costs such as fringe benefit costs (e.g., medical insurance, retirement plan, vacation pay, etc.) in order to attract the best employees. 150. Employee withholdings include a variety of items including federal and state income taxes, Social Security and Medicare (FICA) taxes, retirement plan contributions, medical insurance premiums, union dues, and charitable contributions, to name a few. Employers must pay a matching portion of FICA taxes, federal unemployment taxes, and depending on the states in which they operate, they may also have to pay state unemployment taxes. 151. Unearned revenues represent amounts collected from customers in advance. This creates a current liability, as the seller has an obligation to provide goods or services for this customer in the amount of the advance receipt. If the seller does not fulfill the obligation, then a refund of the amount of the advance payment would be required. 152. This is an example of a contingent liability. The company has a possible loss, but it is not clear whether there will be an actual loss. 153. A journal entry is not needed for this litigation because the likelihood of loss is not yet determinable, and no reasonable estimate of a monetary loss can be made at this time. The litigation has just started and may be in the court system for years to come. A contingent liability should be recorded only when its occurrence is probable and the amount of damages can be reasonably estimated. 154. Since warranty costs are sales-related, the matching concept requires that they be recorded in the sales period. An end-of-period adjusting entry is typically required for warranties whereby the company makes an estimate of warranty costs based on past experience. Powered by Cognero

Ch 08 Current and Contingent Liabilities 155. The entry that is made to create an estimate of the expected costs of repairs and replacements under a company's warranty program will create a credit balance in the estimated warranty liability account. The account that will be debited at the same time is the warranty expense account. 156. There are several points you should make to your banker: 1. Discuss your ability to repay your existing short-term debt and the short-term loan for which you are applying. Do this by pointing out how you have a very strong current ratio. Specifically, you have $4.40 in current assets available to repay each dollar of your short-term debt. 2. Point out that sales increased by approximately 10% over the 2 years, but your income increased by approximately 120%. This is an indication that you controlled your expenses quite well. 3. Describe how you expect your new product offerings to further strengthen your ability to repay the loan and contribute to your bottom line. 157. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities, whereas the quick ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivable by current liabilities. Both ratios measure a company's ability to satisfy its current liabilities, but the quick ratio presents a more conservative measure of liquidity because it excludes inventory and prepaid expenses from the numerator. Accordingly, the quick ratio is always lower than the current ratio.

135. You own a thriving bookstore in a major college town. You have been talking with your CPA about borrowing $5,000,000 to finance a larger and more modern building. One option is to issue 20-year bonds with a fixed rate of 8%, while another option is to issue 20-year bonds with a variable rate of 1-year LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 5%. For the first year, this will result in a 6.2% rate, but the rate will be adjusted annually. The current market interest rate is 8%. What things should you consider in making the decision about which borrowing option is better for your company? 136. You are the chief financial officer of Kyoto Mining Company.

The long-term liability, which is also listed in the short-term liability section, is the portion of long-term debt due within 1 year of the balance sheet date. The portion due in a period longer than 1 year is classified as long-term debt. 114. Current Year: $8,000 (in millions) $2,700 Long-Term Debt + $3,800 Other Long-Term Liabilities + $1,500 Deferred Income Taxes = $8,000 Prior Year:

$8,350 (in millions) $3,000 Long-Term Debt + $3,950 Other Long-Term Liabilities + $1,400 Deferred Income Taxes = $8,350

115. The percent of the total liabilities that are long-term liabilities for the 2 years is as follows: 61.8% [($2,700 + $3,800 + $1,500) ÷ ($4,950 + $2,700 + $3,800 + $1,500)] in the current year and 64.0% [($3,000 + $3,950 + $1,400) ÷ ($4,700 + $3,000 + $3,950 + $1,400)] in the prior year. The implication is that there were large amounts of long-term liabilities that matured in the current year. The percent decreased from the prior year to the current year because of the large increase in short-term borrowings as compared with the other liability accounts. Management needs to take steps to assure that the corporation will be able to generate the cash necessary to retire the debt as it matures. 116. Long-term debt: Long-term debt arises from the issue of bonds, which, in fact, is a long-term loan. If the debt is interest-bearing, periodic interest payments are required.

Ch 09 Long-Term Liabilities rate, the lender bears all the risk of changing rates. If fixed rates increase dramatically, the lender is stuck with a belowmarket return. If rates were to drop, however, the lender would have an above-market return. This uncertainty is the definition of risk. With a variable rate, on the other hand, you bear the risk (and rewards) of changing rates. The shift of risk from the lender to you, the borrower, is why the lender is willing to accept a lower rate initially. You must also consider the terms of the contract, such as how frequently the rate is adjusted, the length of the loan, limits on how much the rate can increase each year or how high the rate can go, etc. Additionally, you must consider your ability to handle increased interest payments should the rate adjust up. In this case, you should only opt for the lower variable rate if you believe you can absorb the higher interest payments should the rate adjust up. 136. The straight-line method will result in higher discount amortization in the early years and thus a higher reported interest expense and consequently a lower taxable income. However, generally accepted accounting principles require the use of the effective interest rate method unless the results obtained from the use of the straight-line method do not materially differ. 137. Leasing requires less or no cash while signing to acquire an asset, which is not the case in purchasing. Purchasing an asset requires a huge lump-sum amount at the date of purchase. Lease contracts also offer protection against obsolescence and flexibility. Leasing can provide tax advantage and lower the financing cost. 138. For a short-term lease, or a lease whose term is under 1 year, no asset or liability is recognized on the balance sheet at the time the lease is signed. This means that no journal entry is made when the lease is signed. Instead, the lessee will record the rent expense as the lease payments are made. On the other hand, a long-term lease, or a lease whose term is 1 year or more, requires the lessee to recognize an asset and a liability at the time the lease is signed. The lessee will debit the asset account to recognize the benefits that the leased asset will provide in the future and will credit a liability account to recognize the obligation to make future lease payments.

The articles of incorporation specify the maximum number of shares that the company may sell; these are the authorized shares. Issued shares are those that have been sold or transferred to stockholders. Outstanding shares are those that have been issued and are still in the hands of stockholders. 196. The primary rights for common stockholders include voting rights, the right to share in profits and dividends, the preemptive right, and the residual claim. Common stockholders can vote on certain corporate matters, including the election of the board of directors. Common stockholders have the right to share in the profits and dividends of the company after preferred shareholders receive their distributions. Common stockholders have the right to purchase a proportionate share of new stock that is issued so that they can maintain their ownership percentage. Common stockholders have the right to share in the assets of the corporation upon liquidation after the creditors and preferred shareholders receive their distributions. 197. Although preferred stock and debt have many similarities, they have some important differences. An advantage of debt is that interest payments are tax deductible, while preferred dividends are not. However, preferred stock has several advantages: - Preferred stock is historically classified as equity, rather than debt, on the balance sheet, so if your company needs to show lower debt totals, preferred stock is advantageous. - Preferred stock is less risky than debt because, unlike interest payments, missing a preferred dividend payment does not trigger bankruptcy. - Companies with a history of operating losses typically do not pay income taxes. If your company has these so-called “net operating loss carryforwards,” then debt no longer has the tax advantage. Powered by Cognero

Ch 10 Stockholders' Equity - Preferred stock is generally sold to other corporations because these corporations do not pay taxes on the full amount of the dividends. You will need to consider all of these factors before making a recommendation to the board of directors. 198. The amount recorded in the account Additional Paid-In Capital represents the difference between the issue price of the stock and its par value. This account is considered a component of capital stock. When stock is issued for an amount in excess of its par value, the journal entry for this transaction involves a debit to Cash for the total amount collected from stockholders, a credit to the stock account for the number of shares issued times their par, and a credit to Additional PaidIn Capital for the excess proceeds over the par value.

199. Par value is an arbitrary monetary amount that is established as a minimum price for the stock, whereas market value is the monetary amount for which the stock is to be issued to stockholders. Market value indicates the true value of the stock, which is determined by stockholders' willingness to pay. 200. Stock warrants are rights to purchase a specified number of shares of a corporation's capital stock at a stated price and within a stated time period. These rights are granted by a corporation to bondholders or potential stockholders as a feature to make the securities more attractive, or they may be granted to existing stockholders as an incentive for maintaining their relative level of ownership in the corporation. Stock options are also rights to purchase a specified number of shares of a corporation's capital stock at a stated price and within a stated time period. However, stock options, unlike stock warrants, are granted to existing employees of the corporation as compensation for their services. 201. You could either declare and pay a cash dividend or enter a stock repurchase plan. The primary difference between the two methods relates to tax consequences. First, the tax rate for dividends is higher than the rate on gains from selling stock. Second, while all common shareholders participate in dividends and, thus, incur tax consequences, only those shareholders that choose to sell their stock back to the company will experience tax consequences. Additionally, you should consider the future of any such distributions to shareholders. Generally, companies do not like to lower dividends. Therefore, if this distribution is a one-time event, a stock repurchase would be the way to go; however, if excess cash is anticipated in future periods, instituting a cash dividend would make sense. Finally, you should also consider the price of the stock. Stock repurchases are most attractive when you believe your stock is undervalued. 202. Both stock dividends and stock splits involve transferring shares of stock from the corporation to the stockholders, and both result in an increased number of outstanding shares without altering the proportionate ownership of the corporation. Both of these transactions tend to result in a decrease in the market price of the corporation's stock. However, stock dividends and stock splits differ in their accounting treatment. Stock dividends are transfers of new shares of stock to stockholders through the process of capitalization of retained earnings. In other words, the equity section of the balance sheet will be rearranged as Retained Earnings is reduced (debited) by the market value of the shares issued and the capital stock accounts are increased (credited). Stock splits involve an exchange of existing shares of stock for an increased number of new shares of stock, with the new shares having a proportionately lower par value. However, no journal entries are required for a stock split; rather, the transaction is merely disclosed in the footnotes accompanying the financial statements and the new par value and number of shares are noted on the balance sheet within the description of the stock account. 203. Treasury stock is issued stock that is repurchased by the company. It is reported as a deduction from stockholders' equity on the balance sheet. 204.

Ch 10 Stockholders' Equity dividends and dividends in arrears, before any dividends are paid to the common stockholders. This becomes a significant advantage for preferred stockholders during a period when the corporation declares a dividend after a previous period of no dividend payments. Under these circumstances, the preferred stockholders would receive their dividends in arrears for past years, then preferred stockholders would be paid their current stated dividend, and only after the preferred stockholders are brought up to date with respect to those cumulative distributions are the common stockholders paid a dividend. A participating dividend preference provides for payment of preferred dividends in excess of the stated amount during any periods when the corporation declares dividends. This becomes a significant advantage for preferred stockholders during a period when the corporation pays a large dividend. After the preferred stockholders receive their current stated dividend, they can share in any additional dividend amounts available for distribution to other classes of stock. 205. There are three ways in which the corporation may approach a stock repurchase: through a purchased transaction in the open market, by a tender offer to the existing stockholders, or through direct negotiation with designated stockholders. Any of these approaches could result in shares of stock becoming available for repurchase by the corporation. 206. A) It is not possible to say. The company has a negative balance in its retained earnings account that indicates that the sum of its net losses and dividend payments have exceeded its profits. Therefore, we need to know the dividend amount in order to answer the question. B) Retained earnings represents the accumulation of earnings (net income) that the corporation has not paid out in dividends. It is accumulated over the life of the corporation. Each period, the balance increases because of net income earned during the period, and it decreases by any net losses and dividends declared. C) No, the information presented in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet is not sufficient to determine whether the company paid a dividend during the year. Information about the changes in retained earnings is needed. D) The company has 200,000 shares issued, as determined by dividing the total amount of common stock by the par value. All 200,000 of these shares are also outstanding; outstanding shares are determined by subtracting treasury shares from issued shares. Since no treasury stock is indicated, all of the issued shares remain outstanding.

What is meant by the term "cash flow adequacy"? What other financial information would be necessary in order to make a determination of the cash flow adequacy for these three companies? 176. You are the financial news reporter for the Wall Street Journal. During a recent press conference with the chief financial officer (CFO) of Lackluster Video, Inc., the executive stated that the company's financial health was excellent and that she expected their recent history of successful and strategic growth to continue to generate significant profits in the future as they expanded their video stores into several new major geographical markets. To corroborate the CFO's statements, you examined the statement of cash flows and found that the company has reported negative operating cash flows, positive investing cash flows, and positive financing cash flows for each of the last 5 years. Does the statement of cash flows support the CFO's statements?

167. The FASB states that operating cash flows should reflect the cash effects of transactions that enter into the determination of income. Because dividends received represent income, their receipt should be classified as an operating activity. Dividend payments are paid for the use of equity capital. They do not represent an expense but are a reduction of retained earnings. Therefore, dividends paid are classified as a financing activity. The proper classification of items in the statement of cash flows is critical for financial statement users. 168. Indirect method 169. These items are noncash expenses that were deducted in the determination of net income but do not use (or provide) cash flows. Therefore, they must be "added back" as part of the process of calculating the net cash flow from operating Powered by Cognero

CH 11 The Statement of Cash Flows activities. 170. Under the indirect method, net income must be adjusted for the change in the current accounts (other than cash). The positive amounts indicate that for both years, the year-end balances for accounts payable and accrued liabilities have increased over that of the previous year. It is added to net income because this means that some of its expenses were not paid in cash by the end of each year. 171. Companies employ various cash management techniques. Cash balances are often kept to a minimum and excess funds are temporarily invested to generate interest income. Very short-term temporary investments might qualify as cash equivalents, but any temporary investment of more than 90 days would not. Such investments would be included in the current assets that are not shown. Another factor is the nature of the business. For 2 years, it has generated approximately $9 million in net cash from operating activities. This would indicate that it has a fairly steady cash flow and therefore may not have to keep large amounts on hand. This has allowed the company to make additional long-term investments to grow its business as shown by the net cash used for investing activities. 172. The net increase or decrease on the statement of cash flows is linked to the change in the cash balance from 1 year to the next on comparative balance sheets. Under the indirect method, net income (loss) from the income statement is the starting point for the determination of net cash flow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 173. Both years have net cash outflows from investing activities. This means that the purchases of long-term assets exceeded their disposals. These purchases could include additions to property, plant, and equipment as well as investment securities. Additional examples include the acquisition of other businesses, patents, trademarks, or other noncurrent assets such as notes receivable. 174. All three companies are generating increasingly positive amounts of cash from their operating activities. All three companies are making significant cash investments into various assets or other long-term assets. It would appear that Company A made a very substantial investment in Year 3, judging by the amount as compared with the 2 prior years. The trend in the financing activities is not identical for the three companies. In Year 1 and Year 2, Companies A and B used cash in their financing activities for things like the payment of dividends, repurchase of stock, or net repayment of debt. In Year 3, financing activities, such as the issuance of stock or debt, provided substantial amounts of cash to Companies A and B. Such actions were probably needed to fund the investing activities for the year. For Company C, financing activities have provided cash for all 3 years although the amount increased significantly in Year 3, again probably to fund the investing activities for the year. 175. The cash flow adequacy is a measure of a company's ability to generate cash to meet future debt obligations after paying income taxes and interest and making capital expenditures. Because capital expenditures for new plant and equipment are necessary for most companies, analysts are concerned with the amount of cash available for dividends and debt repayments after the company has replaced and updated its existing base of long-term assets. A ratio for cash flow adequacy can be computed as follows:

To calculate the ratio for these companies, you would need the amount of capital expenditures from the detail of investing activities and the debt maturities for the next 5 years. Information on debt maturities would be readily available in the notes to each company's financial statements. To make proper use of the cash flow adequacy ratio, the results for each company should be compared with that of prior years to look for possible trends. The ratio for each company should also be compared to the ratios for companies of similar size and in similar lines of business. Powered by Cognero

CH 11 The Statement of Cash Flows 176. It does not appear that the CFO's statements are supported by the company's cash flows. An expanding company should exhibit negative investing cash flows as it invests in the long-term assets necessary for expansion. The positive investing cash flows shown by the company indicate that it is a net seller of its fixed assets—not a purchaser. In addition, one would like to see any expansion supported by positive operating cash flows to at least partially fund the growth. Instead of being an expanding company, the pattern of cash flows exhibited by the company suggest a company that is experiencing problems in generating operating cash flows. Further, it appears the company may be selling its fixed assets and obtaining capital through borrowing or stockholder contributions in order to cover the operating cash flow shortfall. Finally, the success of stand-alone video rental stores is certainly questionable given continued advances in technology. Careful analyzing of the patterns and interrelationships of a company's cash flows can provide users with insights into the company's operations.

A) RPG's cost of goods sold increased by $5,000 ($115,000 − $110,000) from Year 2 to Year 3 and by $3,000 ($110,000−$107,000) from Year 1 to Year 2. This may be viewed as a negative trend; however, the primary reason for the increase is that sales are also increasing. RPG also has a positive trend in gross profit, which increased by $1,000 ($37,000−$36,000) between Year 2 and Year 3 and by $3,000 ($36,000−$33,000) between Year 1 and Year 2. Other measures of financial statement analysis should be considered. B)

RPG also has a positive trend in gross profit, which increased by $1,000 ($37,000 − $36,000) between Year 2 and Year 3 and by $3,000 ($36,000 − $33,000) between Year 1 and Year 2. RPM's gross profit was flat between Year 2 and Year 3, but there was an increase in gross profit of $2,000 ($14,000 − $12,000) from Year 1 to Year 2. When these amounts are analyzed in terms of percentages, it appears that RPM had a far better Year 2, while RPG had a better Year 3. Growth in Gross Profit RPG Co. RPM Co.

Current Year 127.55% 81.52% 82.16% 118.71% 88.14%

The company experienced a significant increase in cash, which indicates that the company is more liquid than in the previous year. Accounts receivable decreased, which may be the result of decreased sales or improved collections by the credit department. Inventory declined, which may be the result of increased sales. The percentage increase in other current assets is large but not significant due to its relatively small dollar amount. 145.

Sales have been increasing at a greater rate than cost of goods sold, which has accounted for a significant increase in gross profit. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are growing at a greater rate than sales, as are expenses for interest and taxes; however, these expenses are not having such a significant impact because of their smaller dollar amounts. The increases in net income are large and the trend is fairly consistent between the years. Because the base year value for other income was $0, the common size value is technically infinite.

Even though Ryland Co. has less working capital, all of its short-term liquidity measures are more favorable. All of the ratio computations indicate that Russell Co. may have difficulty paying its current obligations. 150.

Other than the operating cash flow ratio, all the other liquidity ratios have declined from the prior year to the current year, yet the company is still very liquid and should not have difficulty paying its current obligations as they come due. 151.

Other than the times interest earned ratio, the rest of the debt management ratios have increased from the prior year to the current year; this was because the company had significant borrowings during the current year. From the times interest earned ratio, you can see that the company's operating income was sufficient to cover interest expense. Both the long-term debt to equity ratio and debt to equity ratio indicate that the company had much more equity financing than debt, even after the company borrowed nearly $250,000 in the current year. 152. Current year: Accounts receivable turnover: Inventory turnover: Asset turnover: Operating cycle:

The accounts receivable and inventory turnover ratios each improved slightly from the prior year to the current year, which indicates that the company is using its accounts receivable and inventory more efficiently. The operating cycle also improved from 29 to 27 days, which indicates strength in terms of asset efficiency. With regard to the asset turnover ratio, however, there was a sharp decline in the current year as a result of the company's significant investment in property, plant, and equipment. The company needs to improve its efficiency with regard to the use of these new assets. 153.

The company's gross profit percentage and operating margin percentage increased slightly from the prior year to the current year, which indicates improvement in profitability. However, the other profitability ratios decreased from the prior year to the current year. The most significant decline was in the return on equity ratio. 154.

All of the company's profitability ratios decreased from the prior year to the current year with the exception of the dividend payout ratio, total payout ratio, and stock repurchase payout ratio, which increased. This indicates a decline in stockholder performance. However, the improved dividend payout ratio coupled with the increase in the number of shares outstanding and change in treasury stock activity account for these fluctuations. Powered by Cognero

The DuPont analysis shows that the company had a better prior year than the current year in terms of net profit margin and asset turnover; thus, asset turnover declined from 8.69% (7.01% × 1.24) in the prior year to 3.46% (4.80% × 0.72) in the current year. However, the current year was higher in terms of leverage, which means that there was a higher proportion of debt financing in the current year to leverage the return on assets. Overall, the return on equity still declined from the prior year to the current year. 156.

E) Operating cycle: (365 Days ÷ 18.39 Receivables Turnover) + (365 Days ÷ 17.89 Inventory Turnover) = 40.25 Days This is the shortest operating cycle of the three companies, which indicates that it is the best in terms of efficiency of timing between purchase of inventory and the Rabbit: collection of cash from customers for the sales of this inventory. This is the shortest operating cycle of the three companies, which indicates that it is the best in terms of efficiency of timing between purchase of inventory and the collection of cash from customers for the sales of this inventory.

Both of these short-term liquidity measures are more favorable for Ruth Co.; however, it appears that both companies are well positioned to be able to pay their current obligations as they come due. D) The other short-term liquidity ratios include the cash ratio and the operating cash flow ratio. The cash ratio helps determine whether the company's cash and short-term investments are sufficient to cover its current obligations. The operating cash flow ratio helps determine whether the company's cash flows from operating activities are sufficient to cover its current obligations. 160.

171. There are two primary weaknesses of performing time series analysis exclusively. First, it is difficult to analyze changes without knowing the relative change. Second, it is difficult to evaluate the changes without knowing how the competition or industry is performing. 172. The primary weakness is difficulty in analyzing changes without knowing the relative change. It is nearly impossible to compare companies using raw financial statement numbers because even the closest competitors may be vastly different in size. Using percentage changes from year to year or between two financial statement line items controls for differences in the relative sizes of items of interest. This can be accomplished through horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, and ratio analysis. Powered by Cognero

Ch 12 Financial Statement Analysis 173. Horizontal analysis is used to track the relative behavior in changes of percentages of financial statement items from one period to the next. It can flag increases or decreases that need to be examined more closely. It may also help with controlling expenses. 174. A banker is more interested in liquidity, which relates to the likelihood that a loan will be repaid. Liquidity indicates a company's ability to pay obligations on a current basis, whereas profitability measures the company's success in earnings results. 175. The amount of working capital and the change in working capital are just two indicators of the strength of the current position. A comparison of the current ratio and the quick ratio, along with the amount of working capital, gives a better analysis of the current position. See the following comparison:

Working capital Current ratio Quick ratio

Current Year $127,500 2.00 0.80

Prior Year $112,500 2.50 1.20

It is apparent that, although working capital has increased, the current ratio has fallen from 2.50 to 2.00 and the quick ratio has fallen from 1.20 to 0.80. 176. A)

Rama Co. appears to have the best inventory management. Compared to the other companies, Rama sells its entire inventory about 7.00 times per year, whereas RBC sells its inventory about 5.50 times per year and Rock Co. experienced a large decline from 12.60 times to 6.00 times per year.

B)

RBC has the best short-term liquidity, as indicated by its relatively high measures for the current ratio and quick ratio. In addition to having the highest results for these two liquidity ratios, RBC's ratios are improving since the prior year. Rama Co. also has strong liquidity measures, with steady or improved results from the prior year to the current year.

C)

Rock Co. has experienced decline in its liquidity measures from the prior year to the current year, and its quick ratio indicates that the company does not have sufficient quick assets to cover its current obligations.

177. Liquidity is a relative measure of the nearness to cash of the assets and liabilities of a company. It is an indicator of the likelihood of the company's ability to pay its current obligations. 178. Asset efficiency ratios or operating ratios are measures of how efficiently a company uses its assets. The principal asset efficiency ratios are measures of turnover, that is, the average length of time required for assets to be consumed or replaced. In turnover ratios, the activity (the income statement amount) is divided by the base asset to which it relates (such as inventory to cost of goods sold, accounts receivable to sales, or total assets to sales). 179. The desire of the investors to relate the earnings of a company to the market price of the stock affects the market price directly. When earnings per share increase, it is an indicator that the company is profitable. When earnings per share decline, it is an indicator that the company is not profitable. Investors will react to these increases and decreases. When earnings are up, more shares of stock are sold on the market, which causes the market price of the stock to increase. 180. Profitability ratios measure how profitable a company is. These ratios measure two aspects of a company's profit. The first aspect is the elements of operations that contribute to the company's profit. The profitability ratios that measure Powered by Cognero

Ch 12 Financial Statement Analysis the first element include gross profit (or gross margin) percentage, operating margin percentage, and net profit margin percentage. This group of ratios expresses income statement elements as percentages of net sales. The second aspect is the relationship of the company's profit to its total investment and investment by its stockholders. The profitability ratios that measure the second aspect include return on assets and return on equity. This group of ratios divides measures of income by measures of investment. 181. The return on assets considers the investment by both creditors and stockholders. The return on common equity provides a return on the investment by common stockholders only. Because most companies have total assets that exceed common stockholders' equity, the return on assets will be lower than the return on common equity. 182. Short-term liquidity ratios, which compare some combination of current assets or operations to current liabilities, include the current and quick ratios, the cash ratio, and the operating cash flow ratio. The formulas are as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Trading securities are debt investments that management intends to sell in the near term. Trading securities are bought and sold frequently with the intent to profit on short-term changes in price. Trading securities are always classified as current assets on the balance sheet. Available-for-sale securities are debt investments that management intends to sell in the future, but not necessarily in the very short term. Therefore, debt investments that do not warrant inclusion as trading securities or held-to-maturity securities are considered available-for-sale. On the balance sheet, available-for-sale securities are classified as current or noncurrent assets depending on whether they are expected to be sold within 1 year or one operating cycle, whichever is longer. In both cases, the fair value method of accounting is used. This means that the investments are recorded at their fair value, which results in marking to market any investments that meet the criteria of trading and available-for-sale securities. Any resulting unrealized holding, gain or loss, is reported on the income statement for trading securities and as part of other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity for available-for-sale securities. 58. There are several things you can do to ensure the availability of this unique berry. You can offer a premium price to provide additional incentive for the supplier to sell to your company. You can also make it easy for the supplier to sell to your company by removing any red tape associated with the purchase transaction. Finally, your company should consider purchasing the common stock of the supplier. The more common stock you purchase, the more influence that can be exerted. 59. Investments in Equity Securities
