CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Compute interest and future values. Simple interest is computed on the principal only, while compound interest is computed on the principal and any interest earned that has not been withdrawn. To solve for future value of a single amount, prepare a time diagram of the problem. Identify the principal amount, the number of compounding periods, and the interest rate. Using the future value of 1 table, multiply the principal amount by the future value factor specified at the intersection of the number of periods and the interest rate. To solve for future value of an annuity, prepare a time diagram of the problem. Identify the amount of the periodic payments (receipts), the number of payments, and the interest rate. Using the future value of an annuity of 1 table, multiply the amount of the payments by the future value factor specified at the intersection of the number of periods and the interest rate. 2. Compute present value. The following three variables are fundamental to solving present value problems: (1) the future amount, (2) the number of periods, and (3) the interest rate (the discount rate). To solve for present value of a single amount, prepare a time diagram of the problem. Identify the future amount, the number of discounting periods, and the discount (interest) rate. Using the present value of a single amount table, multiply the future amount by the present value factor specified at the intersection of the number of periods and the discount rate. To solve for present value of an annuity, prepare a time diagram of the problem. Identify the amount of future periodic receipts or payment (annuities), the number of discounting periods, and the discount (interest) rate. Using the present value of an annuity of 1 table, multiply the amount of the annuity by the present value factor specified at the intersection of the number of periods and the interest rate. To compute the present value of notes and bonds, determine the present value of the principal amount: Multiply the principal amount (a single future amount) by the present value factor (from the present value of 1 table) intersecting at the number of periods (number of interest payments) and the discount rate. To determine the present value of the series of interest payments: Multiply the amount of the interest payment by the present value factor (from the present value of an annuity of 1 table) intersecting at the number of periods (number of interest payments) and the discount rate. Add the present value of the principal amount to the present value of the interest payments to arrive at the present value of the note or bond. 3. Compute the present value in capital budgeting situations. Compute the present values of all cash inflows and all cash outflows related to the capital budgeting proposal (an investment-type decision). If the net present value is positive, accept the proposal (make the investment). If the net present value is negative, reject the proposal (do not make the investment). 4. Use a financial calculator to solve time value of money problems. Financial calculators can be used to solve the same and additional problems as those solved with time value of money tables. Enter into the financial calculator the amounts for all of the known elements of a time value of money problem (periods, interest rate, payments, future or present value), and it solves for the unknown element. Particularly useful situations involve interest rates and compounding periods not presented in the tables.

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Identify the activities and users associated with accounting. Accounting is an information system that identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to interested users. The major users and uses of accounting are as follows (a) Management uses accounting information to plan, organize, and run the business. (b) Investors (owners) decide whether to buy, hold, or sell their financial interests on the basis of accounting data. (c) Creditors (suppliers and bankers) evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money on the basis of accounting information. Other groups that use accounting information are taxing authorities, regulatory agencies, customers, and labor unions. 2. Explain the building blocks of accounting: ethics, principles, and assumptions. Ethics are the standards of conduct by which actions are judged as right or wrong. Effective financial reporting depends on sound ethical behavior. Generally accepted accounting principles are a common set of standards used by accountants. The monetary unit assumption requires that companies include in the accounting records only transaction data that can be expressed in terms of money. The economic entity assumption requires that the activities of each economic entity be kept separate from the activities of its owner(s) and other economic entities. 3. State the accounting equation, and define its components. The basic accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity Assets are resources owned by a business. Liabilities are creditorship claims on total assets. Owner's equity is the ownership claim on total assets. The expanded accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Capital − Owner's Drawings + Revenues − Expenses Owner's Capital is assets the owner puts into the business. Owner's drawings are the Assets the owner withdraws for personal use. Revenues are increases in assets resulting from income-earning activities. Expenses are the costs of assets consumed of services used in the process of earning revenue. 4. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each business transaction must have a dual effect on the accounting equation. For example, if an individual asset increases, there must be a corresponding (1) decrease in another asset, or (2) increase in a specific liability, or (3) increase in owner's equity. 5. Describe the four financial statements and how they are prepared. An income statement presents the revenues and expenses, and resulting net income or net loss for a specific period of time. An owner's equity statement summarizes the changes in owner's equity for a specific period of time. A balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity at a specific date. A statement of cash flows summarizes information about the cash inflows (receipts) and outflows (payments) for a specific period of time. a
6. Explain the career opportunities in accounting. Accounting offers many different jobs in fields such as public and private accounting, governmental, and forensic accounting. Accounting is a popular major because there are many different types of jobs, with unlimited potential for career advancement.

Ex. 195 At the beginning of 2016, Stand First Company had total assets of $520,000 and total liabilities of $270,000. Answer each of the following questions. 1. If total assets increased $60,000 and owner's equity decreased $90,000 during the year, determine the amount of total liabilities at the end of the year. 2. During the year, total liabilities decreased $73,000 and owner's equity increased $50,000. Compute the amount of total assets at the end of the year. 3. If total assets decreased $105,000 and total liabilities increased $55,000 during the year, determine the amount of owner's equity at the end of the year. Solution 195 1. Ending Total Liabilities = ($520,000 + $60,000) – ($520,000 – $270,000 - $90,000) = $580,000 – $160,000 = $420,000 2. Ending Total Assets = ($270,000 – $73,000) + ($520,000 – $270,000 + $50,000) = $197,000 + $300,000 = $497,000 3. Ending Owner's Equity = ($520,000 – $105,000) – ($270,000 + $55,000) = $415,000 – $325,000 = $90,000 LO3 BT: AN Difficulty: Medium TOT: 5 min.

FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition
Solution 238 The basic accounting equation is expressed as follows: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity Assets are defined as resources owned by the business. Liabilities are creditorship claims against the assets of the business; or simply put, liabilities are existing debts and obligations. Owner's equity is the ownership claim on the total assets of the business; it is equal to total assets minus total liabilities. Business transactions are economic events and activities that affect the elements of the basic accounting equation; that is, transactions cause increases or decreases in the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity. The financial statements report the results and effects of transactions on the business' assets, liabilities, and owner's equity. The balance sheet is a summary expression of the basic accounting equation. LO3 BT: C Difficulty: Medium TOT: 4 min. AACSB: Communication AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting

While science will be your profession and major concern, you will not be able to escape the need to understand accounting. Accounting staff and professionals will always be available to assist you. Here are some areas that will directly affect you: As a manager, you will need to review accounting information (both internal and external) and make decisions. Budgets will be an important part of your research activities. As an employee, you will be concerned about the financial information of your employer. Thus, you will need to be able to read the company’s financial statements. Also, as an investor, you will be interested in the financial statements of other companies. You will probably not be a preparer of the financial statements, but you do need an understanding of how they are prepared.

(Ethics)
Jill Bolan owns and operates Jill’s Bagels, a small bakery, located at the edge of City College campus in San Diego, California. After several very profitable years, Jill’s Bagels began to have problems. Most of the problems were related to Jill’s expansion of the eating area in the restaurant without corresponding increases in the food preparation area. Jill does not have the cash or financial backing to expand further. She has therefore decided to sell her business. Bonnie Meadows is interested in purchasing the business. However, she is located in another city and is unfamiliar with San Diego. She has asked Jill why she is selling Jill’s Bagels. Jill replies that her elderly mother requires extra care, and that her brother needs help in his manufacturing business. Both are true, but neither is her primary reason for selling. Jill reasons that Bonnie should not have asked her anyway, since profitable businesses don't come up for sale. Required: 1. Identify the stakeholders in this situation. 2. Did Jill act ethically in not revealing fully her reasons for selling the business? Why or why not?

Solution 241 1. The stakeholders include Jill Bolan Bonnie Meadows San Diego, California students of City College City College persons financing the purchase of Jill’s Bagels 2. Jill did not act ethically in not revealing fully her reasons for selling the business. Students might be of the opinion that a purchaser should investigate a business before purchasing it, rather than relying entirely on the seller's assertions. However, students should realize that Jill should have said something about her problems. She might ethically be allowed to put these in the best possible light, perhaps, but failure to disclose them at all is certainly unethical. This is especially true, since family concerns might well cause someone to sell a business that is otherwise doing well. Jill has shown an intent to deceive that is unethical, and might be actionable in court as well. LO2 BT: E Difficulty: Medium TOT: 5 min. AACSB: Ethics AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting

You asked about your financial statements. Of course, you realize that I am just an accounting student, but I do know that it is possible to have a large cash balance and little net income. You may have had expenses that were not paid in cash yet. These expenses reduce your income, but not your cash. I think that you should discuss the statements with the accountant who prepared them.

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Describe how accounts, debits, and credits are used to record business transactions . An account is a record of increases and decreases in specific asset, liability, and owner’s equity items. The terms debit and credit are synonymous with left and right. Assets, drawings, and expenses are increased by debits and decreased by credits. Liabilities, owner’s capital, and revenues are increased by credits and decreased by debits. 2. Indicate how a journal is used in the recording process. The basic steps in the recording process are (a) analyze each transaction for its effects on the accounts, (b) enter the transaction information in a journal, and (c) transfer the journal information to the appropriate accounts in the ledger. The initial accounting record of a transaction is entered in a journal before the data are entered in the accounts. A journal (a) discloses in one place the complete effects of a transaction, (b) provides a chronological record of transactions, and (c) prevents or locates errors because the debit and credit amounts for each entry can be easily compared. 3. Explain how a ledger and posting help in the recording process. The ledger is the entire group of accounts maintained by a company. The ledger provides the balance in each of the accounts as well as keeps track of changes in these balances. Posting is the transfer of journal entries to the ledger accounts. This phase of the recording process accumulates the effects of journalized transactions in the individual accounts. 4. Prepare a trial balance. A trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances at a given time. Its primary purpose is to prove the equality of debits and credits after posting. A trial balance also uncovers errors in journalizing and posting and is useful in preparing financial statements. FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 205 An account is an important accounting record where financial information is stored until needed. Briefly explain (1) the nature of an account, (2) the different types of accounts, and (3) the manner in which an account is increased and decreased and its normal balance.
Solution 205 An account is an individual accounting record of increases and decreases in specific asset, liability, and owner’s equity accounts. In its simplest form, an account consists of three parts: (1) the title of the account, (2) a left or debit side, and (3) a right or credit side (it resembles the letter T). Accounts are classified as asset, liability, owner’s equity, revenue, and expense. Accounts with a normal debit balance, such as assets and expenses, are increased when debited and decreased when credited. Accounts with a normal credit balance, such as liabilities and revenues, are increased when credited and decreased when debited. LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Medium TOT: 5 min. AACSB: Comm.

S-A E 206 Your roommate, a marketing major, thinks that debit means decrease and credit means increase. And, that every account can be debited and credited and as result, every account can have both a debit and a credit balance. Explain to your roommate (1) the meaning of debit and credit; (2) which accounts can only be debited, which can only be credited, and which can be both debited and credited; and (3) which accounts normally have debit balances and which credit balances.
Solution 206 The terms debit and credit mean the left and right side, respectively, of every account. Some accounts such as Drawings and Expenses are only debited; other accounts such as Capital and Revenues are only credited; and finally, some accounts such as Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable can be debited and credited. Accounts with debit balances include Assets, Drawings, and Expenses. Accounts with credit balances include Liabilities, Capital and Revenues. LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Medium TOT: 5 min.

FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
2 - 68
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition
Solution 207 The basic accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity The expanded equation divides Owner’s Equity into its various parts, reflecting the owner’s investment, drawings, revenues, and expenses: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Capital – Owner’s Drawings + Revenues – Expenses This expanded equation can then be re-arranged to explain why certain accounts have debit (lefthand) balances, while other accounts have credit (right-hand) balances, as follows: Assets + Owner’s Drawings + Expenses = Liabilities + Owner’s Capital + Revenues The accounts on the left-hand side of the equation have left-hand, or debit, balances, while the accounts on the right-hand side of the equation have right-hand, or credit, balances. Accounts with debit balances are increased with debits and decreased with credits, while accounts with credit balances are increased with credits and decreased with debits.

S-A E 208 Describe the process of preparing a trial balance. What is the purpose of preparing a trial balance? If a trial balance does not balance, identify what might be the reasons why it does not balance. If the trial balance does balance, does that insure that the ledger accounts are correct? Explain.
Solution 208 The process of preparing a trial balance consists of (1) listing the account titles and their debit or credit balances in the order in which they appear in the general ledger, (2) totaling the debit and credit columns, and (3) proving the equality of the total debits and total credits. The primary purpose of the trial balance is to prove the equality of the debits and credits after posting. A trial balance also uncovers errors in journalizing and posting because errors in journalizing and posting cause a trial balance not to balance. A trial balance does not prove that all transactions have been recorded or that the ledger is correct. The trial balance may balance even when (1) an entire transaction is not journalized, (2) a correct journal entry is not posted, (3) a journal entry is posted twice, (4) incorrect accounts are used in journalizing or posting, or (5) offsetting errors are made in recording the amount of a transaction or posting to the ledger.

Solution 209 The initial step in the recording process is to analyze each transaction. This is done by analyzing the source documents to determine which accounts were affected. The computer is not able to perform this step. The second step is enter the transaction in the journal using a journal entry. The computer is not able to perform this step and does not know if the correct accounts are being debited and credited, nor if the correct amounts were entered. It is only able to test the equality of the debits and credits comprising the entry. The final step is to transfer the journal entry to the specific accounts in the ledger (posting). The computer can perform this step efficiently and effectively. LO2 BT: S Difficulty: Medium TOT: 7 min. AACSB: Comm. AICPA BB: CT AICPA PC: Communication

Explain the purpose of the chart of accounts and the general ledger. In your explanation indicate the relationship between these two items as well. Solution 212 The chart of accounts lists all of the accounts that a company uses and their account numbers that identify their location in the ledger. The numbering system used to identify the accounts usually starts with the balance sheet accounts followed by the income statement accounts. The general ledger contains all of the accounts of a company and their respective balances at any point in time.

Then entering the date of the entry, the journal page number where the entry originated and debit portion of the entry in the date, reference and debit columns, respectively. Once this done, the account number(s) of the account(s) being debited is (are) entered in the reference column in the journal. Next, the credit portion of the journal entry is posted to the appropriate accounts in the ledger following the same steps as noted for the debit portion.

S-A E 214 During a study session, a classmate states that it is not necessary to make journal entries and then post them to the ledger. She states that it is sufficient to analyze the transaction and simply record the information in T-accounts. What is your response to this statement? Be brief, yet concise.
Solution 214 You have a very good point regarding the steps of the accounting cycle. If a company only has a few transactions, it might be possible to simply analyze them and then record each in T-accounts. However, nearly all businesses have many transactions each day. There must be a systematic way to process these transactions. The steps of the accounting cycle represent this process. After analyzing each transaction, a journal entry needs to be prepared. The journal represents a chronological listing of every transaction for a business. This allows users to review past transactions. Your approach does not leave a trail that can be reviewed at a later date. Once the journal entries are made, posting allows each line of the journal to be transferred into the ledger. This process increases and decreases individual accounts in the ledger. At the end of the accounting period, the balance of each account is determined and the trial balance is prepared. Based on your approach, if someone saw a credit to cash for $10,000 and wondered what the debit was, that person would have to go through every ledger account to locate the corresponding debit. By having a general journal, the person can view the entire transaction, thus easily seeing the account that was debited. Your approach may work for a very simple business, but it would result in problems for the majority of businesses and accountants. LO2&3 BT: S Difficulty: Medium TOT: 7 min. AACSB: Comm.

S-A E 215 (Ethics) Terry Bradshaw was appointed the manager of Steelers Properties, a recently formed company that manages residential rental properties. Linda Cohen is the accountant. She prepared a chart of accounts based on an analysis of the expenditures of the company. One of the largest expense categories is Travel and Entertainment. Mr. Bradshaw believes that it is important to maintain a presence in the social life of the city. In this, he sharply differs from his father, John Bradshaw. The elder Mr. Bradshaw has set up Steelers Properties in order to test his son’s management skills before allowing him to manage the more lucrative commercial property business. John Bradshaw provided the capital for Steelers, and maintains close contact with the company. He allowed his son, however, to hire his own employees.

He hopes to deflect his father’s attention away from the amount he has spent on travel and entertainment until he has proven that his methods work. When Ms. Cohen resisted, he reminded her that he, not his father, hired her. He also reminded her that she had been enthusiastic about his business plans when she was hired. Required: 1. Who are the stakeholders in this situation? 2. Should Ms. Cohen agree to the change in the Travel and Entertainment account to Property Development? Explain.
Solution 215 1. The stakeholders in this situation include Mr. John Bradshaw Linda Cohen Mr. Terry Bradshaw Bankers and others who might rely on the financial statements 2. Ms. Cohen definitely should not agree to the name change. The intention of the person making the change is to deceive someone who has a right to know the affairs of the business, fully and completely.

Can the student be successful in the course without an understanding of the rules of debits and credits? b. Explain the rules of debits and credits in a way that will help him understand them.
Solution 216 a. Accounting is based on the double-entry system. This system records the dual effect of each transaction in the appropriate accounts, thus keeping the accounting equation in balance. Each transaction is analyzed and recorded using this dual effect system. If you do not have this basic understanding, the remaining chapters will become increasingly more difficult. You will not have the ability to make journal entries for the many new topics in these upcoming chapters.

b. You may be trying to memorize the rules of debits and credits, only to discover that this does not work. Here are some other ways to master this very important topic: •
Make sure that you understand the accounting equation. Assets equal the total of liabilities and owners’ equity. Owners’ equity is not an account but rather a group of accounts that includes owner’s capital, revenues, expenses, and owner’s drawings. Owner’s capital and revenues cause owners’ equity to increase while expenses and drawings cause owners’ equity to decrease.
•
Next, make sure that you understand the accounting meaning of the terms debits and credits. For accounting, debit means left and credit means right. Don’t try to add any more to these definitions.
•
Then, work with the rules of debits and credits. These rules determine whether a debit or credit increases or decreases an account. Start with assets. Assets increase with a debit and thus decrease with a credit. Think about the cash account—when cash is received, the account is increased with a debit. When cash is paid, the account is decreased with a credit. All of the other rules of debits and credits keep the equation in balance. Liabilities, owner’s capital, and revenues are all increased with credits. Expenses and owner’s drawing are the two accounts that cause owners’ equity to decrease, thus they must be increased with a debit.

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Explain the accrual basis of accounting and the reasons for adjusting entries. The time period assumption assumes that the economic life of a business is divided into artificial time periods. Accrual-basis accounting means that companies record events that change a company’s financial statements in the periods in which those events occur, rather than in the periods in which the company receives or pays cash. Companies make adjusting entries at the end of an accounting period. Such entries ensure that companies recognize revenues in the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied and recognize expenses in the period in which they are incurred. The major types of adjusting entries are deferrals (prepaid expenses and unearned revenues) and accruals (accrued revenues and accrued expenses). 2. Prepare adjusting entries for deferrals. Deferrals are either prepaid expenses or unearned revenues. Companies make adjusting entries for deferrals to record the portion of the prepayment that represents the expense incurred or the revenue for services performed in the current accounting period. 3. Prepare adjusting entries for accruals. Accruals are either accrued revenues or accrued expenses. Companies make adjusting entries for accruals to record revenues for services performed and expenses incurred in the current accounting period that have not been recognized through daily entries. 4. Describe the nature and purpose of an adjusted trial balance. An adjusted trial balance shows the balances of all accounts, including those that have been adjusted, at the end of an accounting period. Its purpose is to prove the equality of the total debit balances and total credit balances in the ledger after all adjustments. a5.
Prepare adjusting entries for the alternative treatment of deferrals. Companies may initially debit prepayments to an expense account. Likewise, they may credit unearned revenues to a revenue account. At the end of the period, these accounts may be overstated. The adjusting entries for prepaid expenses are a debit to an asset account and a credit to an expense account. Adjusting entries for unearned revenues are a debit to a revenue account and a credit to a liability account.
a6. Discuss
financial reporting concepts. To be judged useful, information should have the primary characteristics of relevance and faithful representation. In addition, it should be comparable, consistent, verifiable, timely, and understandable. The monetary unit assumption requires that companies include in the accounting records only transaction data that can be expressed in terms of money. The economic entity assumption states that economic events can be identified with a particular unit of accountability. The time period assumption states that the economic life of a business can be divided into artificial time periods and that meaningful accounting reports can be prepared for each period. The going concern assumption states that the company will continue in operation long enough to carry out its existing objectives and commitments. The historical cost principle states that companies should record assets at their cost. The fair value principle indicates that assets and liabilities should be reported at fair value. The revenue recognition principle requires that companies recognize revenue in the accounting period in which the performance obligation is satisfied. The expense recognition principle dictates that efforts (expenses) be matched with results (revenues) The full disclosure principle requires that companies disclose circumstances and events that matter to financial statement users. The cost constraint weighs the cost that companies incur to provide a type of information against its benefits to financial statement users.

$395,000 240,100 $154,900
Service revenue should include the $25,000 for services performed on account. The accrual basis states that revenue is reflected in the period when the service is performed. ($370,000 + $25,000 = $395,000). Expenses should include the $15,000 for expenses incurred but not yet paid. The accrual basis states that expenses should be reflected in the period when incurred. Expenses also should only include half of the $1,800 insurance premium since $900 applies to 2017. The other $900 is an asset and should be reflected on the balance sheet as prepaid insurance. The $6,000 of depreciation for the automobile is included as an expense in 2016. ($220,000 + $15,000 – $900 + $6,000 = $240,100). (b) The accrual basis of accounting provides a better measure of income than the cash basis. The accrual basis is required under generally accepted accounting principles and recognizes revenues when the performance obligation is satisfied and expenses when incurred. Revenues and expenses recognized under the accrual basis are related to the economic environment in which they occur and thus allow trends to be more meaningfully interpreted.

Ex. 242 The White Stripes Animal Encounters operates a drive through tourist attraction. The company adjusts its accounts at the end of each month. The selected accounts appearing below reflect balances after adjusting entries were prepared on April 30. The adjusted trial balance shows the following: Prepaid Rent Buildings Accumulated Depreciation—Buildings Unearned Ticket Revenue
$16,000 30,000 6,600 600
Other data: 1. Three months’ rent had been prepaid on April 1. 2. The buildings are being depreciated at $7,200 per year. 3. The unearned ticket revenue represents tickets sold for future visits. The tickets were sold at $5.00 each on April 1. During April, thirty of the tickets were used by customers. Instructions (a) Calculate the following: 1. Monthly rent expense. 2. The age of the buildings in months. 3. The number of tickets sold on April 1. (b) Prepare the adjusting entries that were made by the White Stripes Animal Encounters on April 30. Solution 242 (a)
(15 min.)
1. $8,000. The $16,000 balance on the adjusted trial balance reflects two months remaining on the prepaid lease. This indicates that the monthly lease is $8,000. 2. The buildings are 11 months old. By dividing annual depreciation ($7,200) by 12, the monthly depreciation expense is $600. The accumulated depreciation account shows $6,600 which means that depreciation has been taken for 11 months. 3. 150 tickets were originally sold. Thirty tickets were used in April at $5.00 each. The adjusted trial balance shows a balance of $600 indicating that 120 tickets are still outstanding. By adding the 30 used in April to the 120 still remaining to be used, 150 tickets must have been sold on April 1.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 258 The income statement is an important financial statement used by individuals who are interested in the operations of a business enterprise. Explain how the time period assumption and the revenue recognition and expense recognition principles provide guidance to accountants in preparing an income statement. Solution 258 The time period assumption divides the economic life of an accounting entity, such as a business enterprise, into arbitrary time periods. The revenue recognition and expense recognition principles are the basic rules for allocating revenues and expenses to these arbitrary time periods under accrual-basis accounting. The revenue recognition principle dictates the time period to which revenue is to be allocated and recognized; that is, on which income statement the revenue is to be reported. The expense recognition principle dictates the time period to which costs are allocated and recognized as expenses; that is, on which income statement the expenses are to be reported and matched against revenues in the determination of net income.

S-A E 259 In developing an accounting information system, it is important to establish procedures whereby all transactions that affect the components of the accounting equation are recorded. Why then, is it often necessary to adjust the accounts before financial statements are prepared even in a properly designed accounting system? Identify the major types of adjustments that are frequently made and give a specific example of each. Solution 259 Account balances must be adjusted before financial statements are prepared, even in a properly designed accounting system, because (1) some of the recorded transactions have been recognized prematurely and (2) some effects on components of the accounting equation have not been recorded. Prepayments and deferrals are types of adjustments of recorded transactions that must be allocated to future periods as well as the current period. Examples of deferral-type adjustments are: prepaid rent, prepaid insurance, and unearned revenue. Accruals are adjustments of unrecorded transactions that must be recognized in the current period. Examples of accrual-type adjustments are: salaries and wages payable and interest payable.

Solution 260 Considering the proper basis of accounting to use is an important decision that should be addressed before the business is started. Thus, this is an excellent time to look at the differences between the cash and accrual basis of accounting. When the cash basis is used, revenue is recorded when cash is received and expenses are recorded when cash is paid. This is not an objective approach in determining net income because the receipt and payment of cash does not reflect the efforts and accomplishments of the business. Also, accounts receivable, accounts payable and depreciation are not recognized in the accounting records. The use of the accrual basis of accounting overcomes these problems. Revenue is recorded when services are performed and expenses are recorded when they are incurred. This represents an objective way of matching efforts and accomplishments of the accounting period. In addition, accounts receivable and accounts payable are recorded and their balances are shown on the balance sheet. The business has access to these balances during the accounting period and can make important decisions about them. Since the business has computers, it is important to record a portion of their costs each accounting period. This process is called depreciation. Instead of showing the cost as an expense when the computers are purchased (cash basis), the cost is allocated to the accounting periods in which the computers are used (accrual basis). This makes net income more meaningful because it reflects a matching of the expense to the period in which revenues were recognized. The cost of the computers, less the accumulation of depreciation that has been taken, is shown as an asset on the balance sheet. Thus, the user can see that these assets are available for future use. Also, generally accepted accounting principles require the use of the accrual basis of accounting. It will be better to use the accrual basis of accounting.

Solution 261 Salaries and Wages Payable should not be reported as a long-term liability. This represents the amounts owed to employees. If the company does not have any financial difficulties or cash flow problems, the salaries should be paid within one year. Accumulated Depreciation is a contra asset account. The balance is subtracted from the cost of the related asset in the Property, Plant, and Equipment section of the balance sheet. Are all of the notes payable actually long-term (due after one year)? If not, the portion due within one year should be reported as a current liability instead.

S-A E 262 (Ethics) Jay Farrar Company is a manufacturing company that specializes in writing instruments. The past year was a difficult one for the company, as it sought to retain its share in a market in which the largest competitors were also rapid innovators. Jay Farrar introduced a new product late in the year, even though testing was not complete. It was a pen designed with two cartridges: one supplying ink and the other correction fluid. A person could then switch easily between writing and correcting errors. It was priced fairly high, and was never heavily advertised. Even so, the Correct-O-Pen, as the product was named, was an overwhelming success. The success of the product has Josh Ritter, the manager of the New Products division, worried, however. He was concerned that quality problems would begin occurring, since the longevity of the pen and stability of the correction fluid formulation had not been tested. He did not want sales personnel to get the bonuses that appeared to be indicated, since they might aggressively promote a product that would fail in use. He preferred to complete testing of the pen first, so that more confidence could be placed in the results. Top management, however, declined the tests. Mr. Ritter then instructed you, the accountant, not to prorate payroll taxes or rent expense for the rest of the year, but to show them as current expenses in total. In this way, the new product would appear to be only slightly profitable. Required: 1. Describe the alternatives that you as an accountant would have in this situation. 2. Indicate which alternative is best. Solution 262 The choices include: 1. Follow the manager’s instructions. 2. Explain to the manager why you cannot follow his instructions. 3. Report the manager’s actions to his superior. 4. Resign. There are probably other alternatives as well. Students should be able to come up with at least #1 and #2. Of the choices, #1 is unethical because it will cause the financial statements to be misleading. #3 and #4 are rather drastic measures that do not seem to be indicated, at least not yet. #2, therefore, is the best choice.

S-A E 263 (Communication) A new sales representative, Bill Bailey, has just received his copy of the month-end financial reports. He is puzzled by the term “unearned revenue.” He left the following e-mail message for you on the company’s bulletin board system: What is this??? Creative Accounting, or what??? Line item 12 on year-to-date financials shows over $25Gs in Unearned Revenue!!! Come on, guys! Either we earned it, or we didn’t ... Right??! Is this how you guys lower our commissions? Reply to b.bailey@sbd Required: Write a response to send to Bill. Solution 263 Since the answer is being prepared for a “bulletin board” type system, it can be in informal language and can respond in kind to the humor. However, proper grammar and spelling are essential, as is the message about what unearned revenue really is. A proposed message follows:
Bill—What a pleasant surprise to hear from you! Maybe you can teach those other guys in your department something about living in the present! Do you know some of them still write me notes on paper??? Unbelievable, right??! Now to your question. Your unearned revenue is the sales you made that us smart guys in accounting didn’t figure you had earned, so we just took it away from you! Might as well save the company some dough for our own bonuses, right?? Seriously, Bill—unearned revenue is the result of your getting customers of the kind we like—they pay in advance! When they pay before we can even get their products made or shipped, we can’t count the money they pay us as revenue. What we actually have is a liability—an obligation to make and ship products. So that’s how we (smart guys) in accounting count it—as a liability. You happened to have about 25% of your sales that fit in that category. When production can catch up with orders, you’ll get credit for the sales. You will receive your commissions the same month the company recognizes the revenue.” (Take heart—It’ll seem like Christmas all over again.) Thanks again for actually using the system. Talk to me again sometime. . . Reply to cping@sbd

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Prepare a worksheet. The steps in preparing a worksheet follows. (a) Prepare a trial balance on the worksheet, (b) Enter the adjustments in the adjustments columns, (c) Enter adjusted balances in the adjusted trial balance columns, (d) Extend adjusted trial balance amounts to appropriate financial statement columns, and (e) Total the statement columns, compute net income (or net loss), and complete the worksheet. 2. Prepare closing entries and a post-closing trial balance. Closing the books occurs at the end of an accounting period. The process is to journalize and post closing entries and then underline and balance all accounts. In closing the books, companies make separate entries to close revenues and expenses to Income Summary, Income Summary to Owner’s Capital, and Owner’s Drawings to Owner’s Capital. Only temporary accounts are closed. A postclosing trial balance contains the balances in permanent accounts that are carried forward to the next accounting period. The purpose of this trial balance is to prove the equality of these balances. 3. Explain the steps in the accounting cycle and how to prepare correcting entries. The required steps in the accounting cycle are (1) analyze business transactions, (2) journalize the transactions, (3) post to ledger accounts, (4) prepare a trial balance, (5) journalize and post adjusting entries, (6) prepare an adjusted trial balance, (7) prepare financial statements, (8) journalize and post closing entries, and (9) prepare a post-closing trial balance. One way to determine the correcting entry is to compare the incorrect entry with the correct entry. After comparison, the company makes a correcting entry to correct the accounts. An alternative to a correcting entry is to reverse the incorrect entry and then prepare the correct entry. 4. Identify the sections of a classified balance sheet. A classified balance sheet categorizes assets as current assets; long-term investments; property, plant, and equipment; and intangibles. Liabilities are classified as either current or long-term. There is also an owner’s (owners’) equity section, which varies with the form of business organization. a
5. Prepare reversing entries. Reversing entries are the opposite of the adjusting entries made in the preceding period. Some companies choose to make reversing entries at the beginning of a new accounting period to simplify the recording of later transactions related to the adjusting entries. In most cases, only accrued adjusting entries are reversed.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 229 A worksheet is an optional working tool used by accountants to facilitate the preparation of financial statements. Consider the steps followed in preparing a worksheet. How does the use of a worksheet assist the accountant? Could financial statements be prepared without a worksheet? Evaluate how the process would differ. Consider factors such as timeliness, accuracy, and efficiency in your evaluation. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: FSA
Solution 229 The worksheet organizes the accountant’s work in preparing the income statement and the balance sheet. The worksheet contains the general ledger trial balance, the adjusting entries, and an adjusted trial balance (if 10-column). The columns for these trial balances and entries allow the accountant to prove the equality of the debits and credits at each step of the process. From the adjusted trial balance the balance sheet and income statement amounts are obtained and entered in the appropriate columns. Preparing financial statements without the use of a worksheet would be less organized and probably more prone to errors. And, if errors are made, they will probably be less easy to detect and locate, and, therefore, less efficient and more time consuming. S-A E 230 Journalizing and posting closing entries is a required step in the accounting cycle. Discuss why it is necessary to close the books at the end of an accounting period. If closing entries were not made, how would the preparation of financial statements be affected? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
Solution 230 Closing entries are prepared to close the income statement accounts (the temporary accounts) of the current year in order to start the next year. Income statement (temporary) accounts are cumulative in nature but only for a year. The closing entries are what separate the accounting periods. The next year’s accumulation of income statement data can begin once the accounts are cleared and the balances transferred through the closing entries to owner’s equity.

S-A E 231 Give the definition of current assets and current liabilities and provide two examples of each. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
Solution 231 Current assets are assets that a company expects to convert to cash or use up within one year or its operating cycle, whichever is longer. Examples of current assets include short-term investments, accounts receivable, and inventory. Current liabilities are obligations that the company is to pay within the current year. Examples of current liabilities are accounts payable, wages payable, and taxes payable. S-A E 232 (a) What is the term used to describe the owner’s equity section of a corporation? (b) Identify the two owners’ equity accounts in a corporation and indicate the purpose of each. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
Solution 232 (a) The owner’s equity section for a corporation is called stockholders’ equity. (b) The two accounts and the purpose of each are: (1) Common stock is used to record investments of assets in the business by the owners (stockholders). (2) Retained earnings is used to record net income retained in the business. S-A E 233 Distinguish between a reversing entry and an adjusting entry. Are reversing entries required? Ans: N/A, LO: 5, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
Solution 233 A reversing entry is the exact opposite of an adjusting entry and is made at the beginning of the new accounting period. Reversing entries are an optional step in the accounting cycle. S-A E 234 (Ethics) Under Protection provides underground storage facilities for companies desiring off-site storage of sensitive documents, computer records, and other items. They have developed a sophisticated surveillance and security system which they initially used in their own facilities, and have recently started to market elsewhere as well. The underground storage facilities are made from natural caves in some instances (reinforced and modified as appropriate) and from excavations of natural rock formations in others. The land was purchased over ten years ago for a total of $2.5 million. The modifications have cost approximately $15 million more. The company has never depreciated its storage facilities because the market value of the property has continued to rise. Presently, the market price is between $30 and $40 million.

Betsy Brantley, a new accounting manager, questioned this depreciation policy. Will Gray, the controller, has told her that she needn’t worry about it. For one thing, he says, this is really a special form of Land account, which should not be depreciated at all. For another, this is a privately held company, and so they don’t need to worry about misleading investors. All the owners know about and approve the depreciation policy. Required: What are the ethical issues in this situation? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 234 The ethical issue is one of integrity. Even though the storage facilities are underground, that does not mean that they can be accounted for simply as land. The structural improvements and surveillance mechanisms will not last forever, and therefore their cost should be allocated over the periods that are benefited. Net income is being overstated because the depreciation expense, at zero, is being understated. A second issue is the harm that may be incurred by outside parties because of the misrepresentation in the financial statements. Even though the owners know about the (lack of) depreciation, they may still use their financial statements to obtain loans. Private investors and bankers should be able to rely on the financial statements. A third issue is that of the integrity of the accountants themselves. If they are being asked to ignore a basic principle of accounting so openly now, they should certainly ask themselves what lies ahead. S-A E 235 (Communication) You have recently started to work for Thom Hanks, manufacturers of cemetery markers and monuments. During your first month at work, you inadvertently recorded as revenue, about $6,000 of prepayments from Ledger Company. The financial statements had been released within the company when you discovered your error. The month-end closing had not been completed, however, and you were able to correct the accounts without incident. Required: Prepare a short note to accompany the re-released financial statements explaining the mistake.

FROM: Jill Madoff, Accounting RE:
Month-End Reports
****ATTACHED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REPLACE THOSE ISSUED JULY 5**** *****DESTROY ALL EARLIER COPIES OF JUNE 30 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**** An error was made in the recording of Ledger Company’s prepayment. The entire $6,000 was recorded as revenue. Since Ledger’s order had not been completed or shipped, it should have been recorded as unearned revenue, which is a liability. Note that net income is reduced to only $xxxxx as a result of this change. If you have sent any of your summary reports to corporate headquarters, please contact the Accounting Department immediately for correction codes. I am sincerely sorry for any inconvenience or delays caused by this error.

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Describe merchandising operations and inventory systems. Because of inventory, a merchandising company has sales revenue, cost of goods sold, and gross profit. To account for inventory, a merchandising company must choose between a perpetual and a periodic inventory system. 2. Record purchases under a perpetual inventory system. The company debits the Inventory account for all purchases of merchandise, and freight-in, and credits it for purchase discounts and purchase returns and allowances. 3. Record sales under a perpetual inventory system. When a merchandising company sells inventory, it debits Accounts Receivable (or Cash) and credits Sales Revenue for the selling price of the merchandise. At the same time, it debits Cost of Goods Sold and credits Inventory for the cost of the inventory items sold. Sales Returns and Allowances and Sales Discounts are debited and are contra revenue accounts. 4. Apply the steps in the accounting cycle to a merchandising company. Each of the required steps in the accounting cycle for a service company applies to a merchandising company. A worksheet is again an optional step. Under a perpetual inventory system, the company must adjust the Inventory account to agree with the physical count. 5. Compare a multiple-step with a single-step income statement. A multiple-step income statement shows numerous steps in determining net income, including nonoperating activities sections. A single-step income statement classifies all data under two categories, revenues or expenses, and determines net income in one step. a
6. Prepare a worksheet for a merchandising company. The steps in preparing a worksheet for a merchandising company are the same as for a service company. The unique accounts for a merchandiser are Inventory, Sales Revenue, Sales Returns and Allowances, Sales Discounts, and Cost of Goods Sold.
a
7. Record purchases and sales under a periodic inventory system. In recording purchases under a periodic system, companies must make entries for (a) cash and credit purchases, (b) purchase returns and allowances, (c) purchase discounts, and (d) freight costs. In recording sales, companies must make entries for (a) cash and credit sales, (b) sales returns and allowances, and (c) sales discounts.

Rondelli prepares a multiple-step income statement. Instructions (a) Compute Rondelli gross profit. (b) Compute the gross profit rate. (c) What is Rondelli income from operations and net income?

Solution 216 (a) (b) (c) (d)
(10 min.)
$650,000 – $455,000 = $195,000. $195,000/$650,000 = 30%. Income from operations is $45,000 ($195,000 – $150,000), and net income is $35,000 ($45,000 – $10,000). The amount shown for net income is the same in a multiple-step income statement and a single-step income statement. Therefore, net income in Rondelli single-step income statement is also $35,000.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 238 A merchandiser frequently has a need to use contra accounts related to the sale of goods. Identify the contra accounts that have normal debit balances and explain why they are not considered expenses. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: FSA
Solution 238 The contra accounts that have normal debit balances are Sales Discounts and Sales Returns and Allowances. These accounts have debit balances but are not expenses because they are adjustments of sales, not operating, selling, or administrative expenses. They are an adjustment of the inflow from sale of goods, rather than a cost used to help earn revenue. S-A E 239 Distinguish between FOB shipping point and FOB destination. Identify the freight terms that will result in a debit to Inventory by the purchaser and a debit to Freight-out by the seller. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 239 The letters FOB mean Free on Board. FOB shipping point means that goods are placed free on board the carrier by the seller. The buyer then pays the freight and debits Inventory. FOB destination means that the goods are placed free on board to the buyer’s place of business. Thus the seller pays the freight and debits Freight-out. S-A E 240 Armando Martinez believes revenues from credit sales may be recognized before they are collected in cash. Do you agree? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 240 Agree. In accordance with the revenue recognition principle, sales revenues are generally considered to be recognized when the goods are transferred from the seller to the buyer; that is, when the exchange transaction occurs. The recognized of revenue is not dependent on the collection of credit sales. S-A E 241 In a single-step income statement, all data are classified under two categories: (1) Revenues, or (2) Expenses. If the income statement is recast in a multiple-step format, what additional information or intermediate components of income would be presented? Ans: N/A, LO: 5, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 241 The items reported in a multiple-step income statement that are not reported in a single-step income statement are: gross revenues as well as net revenues, gross profit, detailed operating expenses, income from operations, and other revenues and gains, and other expenses and losses.

S-A E 242 You are at a company picnic and the company president starts a conversation with you. The president says “Since we use the perpetual inventory system, there is no reason to take a physical count of our inventory.” What is your response to the president’s remarks? Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 242 You have made a very good observation, but human and mechanical shortcomings need to be considered. The perpetual inventory system maintains detailed records of each inventory purchase, sale and return. This does not mean that everything has been correctly recorded. Some possible causes of discrepancies between the goods on hand and the amounts shown in the accounting system include (1) inventory items were coded incorrectly, (2) cashiers failed to properly scan inventory items, (3) inventory items were damaged or stolen, or (4) goods returned by customers were not properly entered in the accounting records. It is necessary to reconcile amounts in the ledger to actual quantities. Discrepancies should be properly accounted for and investigated. S-A E 243 The income statement for a merchandising company presents five amounts not shown on a service company’s income statement. Identify and briefly explain the five unique amounts. Ans: N/A, LO: 5, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 243 The items reported for a merchandising company that are not reported for a service company are sales revenue, sales returns and allowances, sales discounts, cost of goods sold, and gross profit. Sales revenue, sales returns and allowances, and sales discounts comprise net sales. Cost of goods sold represents the total cost of merchandise sold during the period. Gross profit is the excess of net sales over the cost of goods sold. S-A E 244 (Ethics) Holmes Corporation manufactures electronic components for use in many consumer products. Their raw materials are purchased literally from all over the world. Depending on the country involved, purchase terms vary widely. Some suppliers, for example, require full prepayment, while others are content to receive payment within six months of receipt of the goods. Because of this situation, Holmes never closes its books until at least ten days after month end. In this way, it can sort out ownership of goods in transit, and document which goods were received by month end, and which were not. Manya Andre, a new accountant, was asked to record about $70,000 in inventory as having been received before month end. She argued that the shipping documents clearly showed that the goods were actually received on the 8th of the current month. Her boss, busy with month-end reports, curtly tells Ann to check the shipping terms. She did so, and found the notation “FOB shipper’s dock” on the document. She hadn’t seen that particular notation before, but she reasoned that if the selling company considered it shipped when it reached their dock, Holmes should consider it received when it reached Holmes’s dock. She did not record the purchase until after month end.

Required: 1. Why are accountants concerned with the timing in the recording of purchases? 2. Was there a violation of ethical standards here? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 244 1. Accountants are concerned with timing because they seek to make sure that sales are recorded in the proper period so that revenues and expenses are properly matched; to make sure that goods recorded as owned by the company actually are owned as of the last date of the period; and to make certain that sales recorded have been actually completed. 2. The only ethical principle that may be involved is one of competence. Monya does not appear to know enough about reading shipping documents to make a proper determination of ownership. The goods were owned by Buzz as soon as they left the shipper’s dock. Otherwise, the goods would have been owned by no one while in transit. It does not appear that Monya compromised her integrity or that she sought some sort of gain from her mistake. It does seem likely that she should have known better how to interpret the shipping documents. S-A E 245 (Communication) Helen Hunt and Cory Coates, two salespersons in adjoining territories, regularly compete for bonuses. During the last month, their dollar volume of sales, on which the bonuses are based, was nearly equal. On the last day of the month, both made a large sale. Both orders were shipped on the last day of the month and both were received by the customer on the fifth of the following month. Helen’s sale was FOB shipping point, and Cory’s was FOB destination. The company “counts” sales for purposes of calculating bonuses on the date that ownership passes to the purchaser. Helen’s sale was therefore counted in her monthly total of sales, Cory’s was not. Cory is quite upset. She has asked you to just include it, or to take Helen’s off as well. She also has told you that you are being unethical for allowing Helen to get a bonus just for choosing a particular shipping method. Write a memo to Cory. Explain your position.

Solution 245 MEMO TO:
Cory Coates
FROM: Allie Barnes, Accounting RE:
Sales Bonuses
DATE:
June 15, 200x
As you know, sales bonuses are based upon the revenue generated by each salesperson. Your total sales for the month was $110,000. This total does not include the $19,000 sale you made May 31 because of the policy to count sales on the date that title transfers to the customer. I can understand your being upset that this large sale was not counted, while someone else’s sale on the same date was counted, because of the shipping terms. However, I am sure you agree that the policy is not unethical, but it is instead more fair than our trying to make a determination in the midst of month-end closing. I do understand your disappointment, but this sale does count in June—and it just may make the difference in June’s bonus. Please call me if I can be of further help.

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Discuss how to classify inventory and determine inventory. Merchandisers need only one inventory classification, merchandise inventory, to describe the different items that make up total inventory. Manufacturers, on the other hand, usually classify inventory into three categories: finished goods, work in process, and raw materials. To determine inventory quantities, manufacturers (1) take physical inventory of goods on hand and (2) determine the ownership of goods in transit or on consignment. 2. Apply inventory cost flow methods and discuss their financial effects. The primary basis of accounting for inventories is cost. Cost of goods available for sale includes (a) cost of beginning inventory and (b) the cost of goods purchased. The inventory cost flow methods are specific identification, and three assumed cost flow methods—FIFO, LIFO, and averagecost. When prices are rising, the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method results in lower cost of goods sold and higher net income than the other methods. The reverse is true when prices are falling. In the balance sheet, FIFO results in an ending inventory that is closest to current value. Inventory under LIFO is the farthest from current value. 3. Indicate the effects of inventory errors on the financial statements. In the income statement of the current year: (a) An error in beginning inventory will have a reverse effect on FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

net income. (b) An error in ending inventory will have a similar effect on net income. In the following period, its effect on net income for that period is reversed, and total net income for the two years will be correct. In the balance sheet: ending inventory errors will have the same effect on total assets and total owner’s equity and no effect on liabilities. 4. Explain the statement presentation and analysis of inventory. Companies use the lowerof-cost-or-market (LCM) basis when the current replacement cost (market) is less than cost. Under LCM, companies recognize the loss in the period in which the price decline occurs. The inventory turnover is calculated as cost of goods sold divided by average inventory. To convert it to average days in inventory, divide 365 days by the inventory turnover. a
5. Apply the inventory cost flow methods to perpetual inventory records. Under FIFO and a perpetual inventory system, companies charge to cost of goods sold the cost of the earliest goods on hand prior to each sale. Under LIFO and a perpetual system, companies charge to cost of goods sold the cost of the most recent purchase prior to sale. Under the movingaverage (average cost) method and a perpetual system, companies compute a new average cost after each purchase.
a
6. Describe the two methods of estimating inventories. The two methods of estimating inventories are the gross profit method and the retail inventory method. Under the gross profit method, companies apply a gross profit rate to net sales to determine estimated cost of goods sold. They then subtract estimated cost of goods sold from cost of goods available for sale to determine the estimated cost of the ending inventory. Under the retail inventory method, companies compute a cost-to-retail ratio by dividing the cost of goods available for sale by the retail value of the goods available for sale. They then apply this ratio to the ending inventory at retail to determine the estimated cost of the ending inventory.

$1,600,000 – $1,200,000 = .25 $1,900,000 – $1,330,000 = .30 $1,600,000 $1,900,000
The inventory turnover decreased by approximately 17% from 2016 to 2017 while the days in inventory increased by 20% over the same time period. Both of these changes would be considered negative since it's better to have a higher inventory turnover and lower days in inventory. However, Sheena's Photo gross profit rate increased by 20% from 2016 to 2017, which is a positive sign.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 227 FIFO and LIFO are the two most common cost flow assumptions made in costing inventories. The amounts assigned to the same inventory items on hand may be different under each cost flow assumption. If a company has no beginning inventory, explain the difference in ending inventory values under the FIFO and LIFO cost bases when the price of inventory items purchased during the period have been (1) increasing, (2) decreasing, and (3) remained constant. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economic
Solution 227 The FIFO method determines the ending inventory by the cost of the most recent purchase. The LIFO method determines the ending inventory by the cost of the earliest purchase. Therefore, if the FIFO method is used and the prices during the period are increasing, the ending inventory under FIFO will be greater than under LIFO. Likewise, if the FIFO method is used and the prices during the period are decreasing, the ending inventory under FIFO will be less than under LIFO. If prices remain constant and the company has no beginning inventory, then there will be no difference in ending inventory. S-A E 228 In a period of rising prices, the inventory reported in Sinatra Company's balance sheet is close to the current cost of the inventory. Crosby Company's inventory is considerably below its current cost. Identify the inventory cost flow method being used by each company. Which company has probably been reporting the higher gross profit? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economic
Solution 228 Sinatra Company is using the FIFO method of inventory costing, and Crosby Company is using the LIFO method. Under FIFO, the latest goods purchased remain in inventory. Thus, the inventory on the balance sheet should be close to current costs. The reverse is true of the LIFO method. Crawford Company will have the higher gross profit because cost of goods sold will include a higher proportion of goods purchased at earlier (lower) costs. S-A E 229 Errors occasionally occur when physically counting inventory items on hand. Identify the financial statement effects of an overstatement of the ending inventory in the current period. If the error is not corrected, how does it affect the financial statements for the following year? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economic
Solution 229 The overstatement of ending inventory will cause cost of goods sold to be understated. Consequently, net income for the period will be overstated. The effect on the balance sheet is that assets and owner’s equity will be overstated. The subsequent period will have an overstatement of beginning inventory. This will cause cost of goods sold to be overstated and net income to be understated, counterbalancing the overstatement of income in the prior period.

S-A E 230 A survey of major U.S. companies revealed that 77% of those companies used either LIFO or FIFO cost flow methods, while 19% used average cost, and only 4% used other methods. Required: Provide brief, yet concise responses to the following questions. a. Why are LIFO and FIFO so popular? b. Since computers and inventory management software are readily available, why aren’t more companies using specific identification? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economic
Solution 230 a. FIFO and LIFO are based on cost flow assumptions that may be unrelated to the physical flow of goods. The reasons for using one of these methods involve the effects on the income statement, balance sheet, and taxes that the company must pay. In periods of rising prices (inflation), LIFO provides for a lower net income, thus resulting in a lower tax liability. LIFO reflects the most realistic cost of goods sold (the most recent or highest costs). However, the cost of inventory on the balance sheet is distorted because it consists of the earliest or lowest costs. In periods of rising prices, FIFO provides for the most realistic ending inventory cost on the balance sheet (using the most recent or highest costs). On the income statement, FIFO represents the least realistic cost of goods sold because the amount consists of the earliest or lowest costs. This makes net income higher, which is good for the external financial statements but it thus results in a higher tax liability. In periods of falling prices, opposite results apply. b. With computers and inventory management software, it would appear that the specific identification method would be the most popular because it matches the actual cost of each item sold to its selling price. However, using computers to keep up with the information does not eliminate some of the problems with using specific identification. One problem is an ethical one. A major disadvantage of the specific identification method is that management may be able to manipulate net income. For example, it can boost net income by selling units purchased at a low cost, or reduce net income by selling units purchased at a high cost. As long as customers receive the units they demand, they are indifferent when the company bought them. This manipulation means that net income is not objectively measured. Another problem is that the costs of maintaining a specific identification system may outweigh the benefits of using such a method. As mentioned in part a, financial statement and tax effects of using FIFO and LIFO are more beneficial to companies than simply being able to match the actual cost of a unit to its selling price.

S-A E 231 Your former college roommate is opening a new retail store and asks you “Which inventory costing method should I use?” What is your response? Include a comparison of the tax effect, balance sheet effect, and income statement effect for FIFO versus LIFO. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economic
Solution 231 It is always good to hear from you and you have certainly asked a very good question. Since the consistency principle requires that you adopt accounting methods and stay with them (until there is need for a proper change), it is very important to consider the options before starting a business. I suggest that you consider one of the three cost flow assumptions—Average, First-In, First-Out (FIFO), or Last-In, First-Out (LIFO). These methods are based on the assumption of cost flows instead of the actual physical flow of goods. The effects on the income statement, balance sheet, and tax returns depend on whether your company experiences rising prices or falling prices. Here is a summary of the effects for each inventory method, for companies that experience rising prices (the opposite will be true for falling prices). Inventory Method Tax Effect Average Falls between FIFO and LIFO FIFO Highest net income, thus highest taxes
LIFO
Lowest net income, thus lowest taxes (works best if constant levels of inventory units are maintained)
Income Statement Effect Falls between FIFO and LIFO Highest net income. Thus more attractive for external financial reporting Lowest net income (If you use LIFO for tax purposes, you must also use it for external financial reporting.)
Balance Sheet Effect Falls between FIFO and LIFO Most realistic ending inventory because latest costs are matched to ending inventory Most unrealistic ending inventory because the earliest costs are matched to ending inventory
S-A E 232 Jill Tango is studying for the next accounting mid-term examination. What should Jill know about (a) departing from the cost basis of accounting for inventories and (b) the meaning of "market" in the lower-of-cost-or-market method? Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economic
Solution 232 Jill should know the following:
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
Inventories
6 - 69
(a) A departure from the cost basis of accounting for inventories is justified when the value of the goods is lower than its cost. The writedown to market should be recognized in the period in which the price decline occurs. (b) Market means current replacement cost, not selling price. For a merchandising company, market is the cost at the present time from the usual suppliers in the usual quantities. S-A E 233 (Ethics) Glenda Good and Danny Rock are department managers in the house wares and shoe departments, respectively, for Litwins, a large department store. Danny has observed Glenda taking inventory from her own department home, apparently without paying for it. He hesitates confronting Glenda because he is due to be promoted, and needs Glanda's recommendation. He also does not want to notify the company management directly, because he doesn't want an ethics investigation on his record, believing that it will give him a “goody-goody” image. This week, Glenda tried on several pairs of expensive running shoes in his department before finding a pair that suited her. She did not, however, buy them. That very pair was missing this morning. Litwins recently replaced its old periodic inventory system with a perpetual inventory system using scanners and bar codes. In addition, the annual inventory is to be replaced by a monthly inventory conducted by an independent firm. On hearing the news of the changes, Danny relaxes. "The system will catch Glenda now," he says to himself. Required: 1. Is Danny's attitude justified? Why or why not? 2. What, if any, action should Danny take now? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Professional Demeanor, IMA: Internal Controls
Solution 233 1. Danny's attitude is not justified. The system will only be able to detect that merchandise is missing, not to determine who took it. 2. Danny should notify his superiors at once. He has knowledge of what may be criminal acts, and by concealing them, he is very close to becoming a party to the acts. Danny's apparent fear of not being promotable because of a “goody-goody” image seems unjustified. It would seem more likely that Danny's refusal to accept unethical (and illegal) acts by others would make him a more valuable manager. He may even be jeopardizing his career with Litwins if someone else reports Glenda's actions. The resulting investigation may implicate Danny because of his failure to notify the proper authorities in a timely manner. S-A E 234 (Communication) Jeff Franklin, a new employee of Bail Company, recorded $1,800 in consigned goods received as part of the firm's inventory. The goods were received one day after the end of the fiscal period, but Jeff reasoned that the goods should be included in inventory sooner because Bail paid the freight. The mistake was brought to his attention by the purchasing department who said the goods should not have been recorded as Bail inventory at all. Jeff told Jessie Sassoon, the purchasing supervisor, that nobody needed to worry, because the mistake would cancel itself out the following month. In Jeff opinion, there was no reason to get everyone excited over nothing, especially since it was monthly, and not annual, financial statements that were affected. Jessie Sassoon has reported the problem to the accounting department. FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

Required: You are Jeff's supervisor. Write a memo to Jeff explaining why the error should have been corrected. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: FSA
Solution 234 MEMO TO:
Jeff Franklin, Accounting Department
FROM: Florence Castro, Supervisor DATE:
March 12, 2016
It has come to my attention that $1,800 in consigned goods were included in the inventory reported in our January financial statements. You were informed that this amount should be removed from inventory, which you did not do, apparently believing that February's entries would correct the error. The error would have been corrected in February if it were only a matter of your recording inventory in the wrong month. January's inventory and expenses would have been overstated, and February's understated, but the net effect would have been zero. Since the $1,800 is a fairly large amount, however, that still would not have been appropriate. The error you made, however, was to enter into inventory goods that the company did not own, and will not own. Consigned goods are owned by the consignors until purchased by customers. We only provide our shops for the consignors to sell their goods, and we collect a fee for doing so. Please correct the error at once. We may need to notify some of the other departments of the error as well. Please arrange to meet with me in my office as soon as possible to discuss the matter. (signature)

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Explain the basic concepts of an accounting information system. The basic principles in developing an accounting information system are cost effectiveness, useful output, and flexibility. Most companies use a computerized accounting system. Smaller companies use entry-level software such as QuickBooks or Sage 50. Larger companies use custom-made software packages, which often integrate all aspects of the organization. 2. Describe the nature and purpose of a subsidiary ledger. A subsidiary ledger is a group of accounts with a common characteristic. It facilitates the recording process by freeing the general ledger from details of individual balances. 3. Record transactions in special journals. Companies use special journals to group similar types of transactions. In a special journal, generally only one line is used to record a complete transaction.

A remittance of $300 from Jim Beyheim was correctly recorded in the cash receipts journal, but the amount was posted incorrectly to the account of customer James Baylor in the subsidiary ledger. 3. A purchase of merchandise on account from Henry Company for $2,500 was incorrectly entered in the purchases journal at $25,000. 4. In the sales journal, the entries were incorrectly added for the month. The monthly total was listed as $29,240; it should have been $29,420. FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

Solution 123
(10 min.)
1. The subsidiary ledger will not agree with the general ledger control account. Refooting the subsidiary ledger should locate the error. 2. The error will be discovered when the customer receives his statement. Mr. Jim Beyheim’s statement will indicate a balance of $300 more than he owes. 3. The error may not be discovered until the payment is sent to the supplier. Then, hopefully Henry will send back the excess payment. Additionally, analysis of gross profit may indicate it is inordinately out of line with prior periods. 4. When the accounts receivable control account is reconciled with the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger, it will be $180 less than the subsidiary ledger. Refooting the sales journal should then locate the error. Ex. 124 Below are some typical transactions incurred by Piper Company. ____

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 143 Maggie Mize operates a small business and uses a manual system of accounting. Transactions are entered in the general journal and posted to accounts in the general ledger at the end of the month. Although the volume of transactions has increased significantly in the past year, Ms. Mize does not feel that it would be cost-effective to install an electronic accounting system. She hires you as a consultant to make recommendations about how to record transactions more efficiently. Briefly describe the principles that you would consider in making recommendations to Ms. Mize. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Technology, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Leverage Technology, AICPA PC: Project Management, IMA: Business Applications
Solution 143 In order for Ms. Mize to have a more efficient accounting system, three principles must be followed. These principles are cost effectiveness, usefulness, and flexibility. Cost effectiveness simply means that the benefits received must outweigh the costs. Usefulness refers to the fact that the system must provide the users with timely, accurate, and understandable information. And flexibility means that the system must be able to adapt to changing needs. Applying these principles to Ms. Mize's situation would lead to the recommendation for the use of special journals. S-A E 144 (a) When do companies normally post to (1) subsidiary accounts and (2) the general ledger control accounts? (b) Describe the relationship between a control account and a subsidiary ledger. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: None, IMA: FSA
Solution 144 (a) (1) (2)
Transactions to subsidiary accounts are generally posted daily. In contrast, postings to the control accounts are usually made in total at the end of the month. (b) A control account is a general ledger account that summarizes subsidiary ledger data. Subsidiary ledger accounts keep track of specific account activity (i.e., specific debtors or creditors). A subsidiary ledger is an addition to, and an expansion of, the general ledger. S-A E 145 At the end of the month, the accountant for Sequoia Company prepared a schedule of accounts receivable from the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger. Its total did not agree with the balance in the Accounts Receivable control account in the general ledger. Briefly describe the procedure that should be followed in reconciling the two balances.

Solution 145 The first step would be to go back and double check the total of the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger. There may have been a math error which caused the total to be incorrect. If the math is accurate, then the next step would be to review the postings in the accounts receivable control account. This review includes checking both the accuracy of the math and the accuracy of the posting from the journals. If the control account is correct, then the next step is to repeat the procedure with each individual subsidiary account. If the error still has not been found, then the final step is to look at the journals to see if there were any entries that failed to get recorded. S-A E 146 Why would special journals used in different businesses not be identical in format? What type of business would maintain a cash receipts journal but not include a column for accounts receivable? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Professional Demeanor, IMA: Business Applications
Solution 146 The purpose of special journals is to facilitate the recording process of the business entity. Therefore, the columns included in any special journal should correspond to the unique needs of the entity. In particular, one type of business which might not require an Accounts Receivable column would be grocery stores. These businesses rarely sell on credit to their customers. The minimum frequency of the transaction implies no need for an Accounts Receivable column in the cash receipts journal. S-A E 147 (Ethics) Saira Ortiz has been a manager at Qwikall, a large telecommunications company, for ten years. She has worked very hard, but she had to take two unpaid leaves of absence to assist her sick mother, and then later, she took unpaid leave when her children needed care. As a result, she has received only two promotions during that time. She realizes that she probably will not receive any more promotions, since the company views her as somewhat unstable. Last week, a newly promoted manager bragged that he could just "sniff out" accounting errors. Saira, angered at his arrogance, deliberately recorded sales salaries as rent expense. Other accountants were present when she did so. The dollar amounts of her changes were not significant. Required: Has there been a violation of ethical standards? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: C, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Professional Demeanor, IMA: Internal Controls
Solution 147 There has certainly been a violation of integrity. Saira has no right to let her personal animosity toward a fellow employee cause her to misrecord journal entries. The fact that others knew of her actions does not make what she did right—in fact it causes them to be accomplices. Even though the amounts are not significant, and net income is not affected, Saira's action is wrong. There is also reason for concern that Saira's frustration will show itself in more serious forms of sabotage.

S-A E 148 (Communication) You are a supervisor in the accounting department of a large manufacturing company. Two weeks ago, you were anxious to leave for your vacation, and so you hurriedly recorded a whole stack of journal entries so that the others would not have as much to do while you were gone. When you returned, you realized that you had entered a payment on account of a customer, Norbert, as payment on another customer's account, Norton. Even worse, you realized that Norbert's payment had been on an overdue account, and that Norton had received a refund for overpayment. Required: Write a memo to Alma Gutierrez, your boss, explaining your mistake.

Solution 148 MEMO TO:
Alma Gutierrez, Controller
FROM: Marty Kline, Accounting Supervisor DATE:
October 15, 200x
I'm ba–ack! Unfortunately, I already have a problem. It seems that my mind went on vacation before the rest of me did. You remember that I sent you a note telling you that I had recorded all those journal entries—well, I got almost all of them right. I recorded Norbert's payment in Norton's account. I found it out when I saw Norbert’s account in the file of accounts sent for collection. I thought I remembered a payment—and I had. When I checked further, I found out that I had recorded the payment in Norton's account. Unfortunately, Customer Service was on the ball and sent Norton a refund—of a payment they never made! I am trying to sort all this out—I've already removed Norbert from the collection list and I'm sending them an apology letter. What do you wish to do about the refund that Norton got? I'm really sorry about all this. Next year, I'll try not to be so “helpful.” (signature)

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Discuss fraud and the principles of internal control. A fraud is a dishonest act by an employee that results in personal benefit to the employee at a cost to the employer. The fraud triangle refers to the three factors that contribute to fraudulent activity by employees: opportunity, financial pressure, and rationalization. Internal control consists of all the related methods and measures adopted within an organization to safeguard its assets, enhance the reliability of its accounting records, increase efficiency of operations, and ensure compliance with laws and regulations. The principles of internal control are establishment of responsibility; segregation of duties; documentation procedures; physical controls; independent internal verification; and human resource controls such as bonding and requiring employees to take vacations. 2. Apply internal control principles to cash. Internal controls over cash receipts include (a) designating specific personnel to handle cash; (b) assigning different individuals to receive cash, record cash, and maintain custody of cash; (c) using remittance advices for mail receipts, cash register tapes for over-the-counter receipts, and deposit slips for bank deposits; (d) using company safes and bank vaults to store cash with access limited to authorized personnel, and using cash registers in executing over-the-counter receipts; (e) making independent daily counts of register receipts and daily comparison of total receipts with total deposits; and (f) bonding personnel that handle cash and requiring them to take vacations.

Internal controls over cash disbursements include (a) having specific individuals such as the treasurer authorized to sign checks and approve invoices; (b) assigning different individuals to approve items for payment, pay the items, and record the payment; (c) using prenumbered checks and accounting for all checks, with each check supported by an approved invoice; (d) storing blank checks in a safe or vault with access restricted to authorized personnel, and using a check-writing machine to imprint amounts on checks; (e) comparing each check with the approved invoice before issuing the check, and making monthly reconciliations of bank and book balances; and (f) bonding personnel who handle cash, requiring employees to take vacations, and conducting background checks. Companies operate a petty cash fund to pay relatively small amounts of cash. They must establish the fund, make payments from the fund, and replenish the fund when the cash in the fund reaches a minimum level. 3. Identify the control features of a bank account. A bank account contributes to good internal control by providing physical controls for the storage of cash. It minimizes the amount of currency that a company must keep on hand, and it creates a double record of a depositor's bank transactions. It is customary to reconcile the balance per books and balance per bank to their adjusted balances. The steps in the reconciling process are to determine deposits in transit, outstanding checks, errors by the depositor or the bank, and unrecorded bank memoranda. 4. Explain the reporting of cash. Companies list cash first in the current assets section of the balance sheet. In some cases, they report cash together with cash equivalents. Cash restricted for a special purpose is reported separately as a current asset or as a noncurrent asset, depending on when the cash is expected to be used.

Ex. 182 Phil Goss has worked for Dr. Stan Hilton for several years. Phil demonstrates a loyalty that is rare among employees. He hasn't taken a vacation in the last three years. One of Phil's primary duties at the medical office is to open the mail and list the checks received. He also takes cash from patients at the cashier window as patients leave. At times it is so hectic that Phil doesn't bother with giving each patient a receipt for the cash paid on their accounts. He assures them he will see to it that they receive the proper credit. When the traffic is slow in the office, Phil offers to help Pam post the payments to the patients' accounts receivable. She is always happy to receive his help, because he is a very conscientious worker. Instructions Identify any principles of internal control that may be violated in this medical office situation. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: C, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 10, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Resource Management, AICPA FN: Risk Analysis, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Internal Controls
Solution 182
(10 min.)
Violations: 1. It is Pam's responsibility to post payments to patient accounts. In allowing Phil to assist her, the establishment of responsibility principle is violated. 2. Although it appears to be a small office, it is not appropriate that Phil both opens the mail, receives and records cash receipts from patients, and also appears to have custody of cash. This situation violates the segregation of duties principle. By posting to patients' accounts, it would be possible to post credits to patient accounts and pocket the cash. 3. The documentation principle is violated when patients are not given cash receipts. Although many professional offices do not have cash registers, computerized or manual receipts are customary and necessary. 4. Independent internal verification is also being violated. There is no independent counting of the cash and comparison to total receipts. 5. Human resource controls are being violated. There is no mention of Phil being bonded. Also, personnel should be required to take vacations. Ex. 183 Listed below are seven errors or problems which might occur in the processing of cash transactions. Also shown is a list of internal control principles. Evaluate each possible error and cite a principle that is listed that would reduce the probability of the error occurring. If none of the principles given will correct the problem, write "None." If you think more than one principle is appropriate, list all principles that apply.

Fraud, Internal Control, and Cash

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 224 Fraud experts often say that there are three primary factors that contribute to employee fraud. Identify the three factors and explain what is meant by each. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Resource Management, AICPA FN: Risk Analysis, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Internal Controls
Solution 224 The three main factors that contribute to employee fraud are opportunity, financial pressure, and rationalization. Opportunities that an employee can take advantage of occur when the workplace lacks sufficient controls to deter and detect fraud. Financial pressure occurs when employees want to lead a lifestyle that they cannot afford on their current salary. Rationalization involves employees justifying fraud because they believe they are underpaid while their employer is making lots of money. S-A E 225 Important objectives of a system of internal controls are to safeguard assets and to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the accounting records. Briefly discuss how (1) cost-benefit considerations, (2) the human element, and (3) the size of the business, affect the implementation of a system of internal controls. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Resource Management, AICPA FN: Risk Analysis, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Internal Controls
Solution 225 The implementation of a system of internal controls is affected by cost benefit considerations, the human element, and the size of the business. A company's system of internal control can provide reasonable assurance, but not absolute assurance, that assets are properly safeguarded and that the accounting records are reliable. The concept of reasonable assurance rests on the premise that the costs of establishing control procedures should not exceed their expected benefit. A very costly set of safeguards may produce something approaching absolute assurance, but the value of the benefits received would not come close to outweighing the costs. The human element can cause a good system of internal control to become ineffective due to employee fatigue, carelessness, or indifference. Additionally, collusion between two or more employees to circumvent prescribed controls may significantly impair the effectiveness of the system. The size of a business impacts internal control because a smaller business may not have the necessary resources available to affect the implementation of desirable controls. S-A E 226 Your friend, Carlos, has opened a movie theater. Carlos states that he does not have time to develop and implement a system of internal controls. a. Provide Carlos with the objectives of a system of internal controls. b. Explain to Carlos why he should develop a system of internal controls.

Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition
Solution 226 a. The objectives of a system of internal controls include: 1 safeguarding assets from employee theft, robbery, and unauthorized use 2. enhancing the accuracy and reliability of its accounting records by reducing the risk of errors and irregularities in the accounting process. b. Carlos, here are some reasons why you must develop a system of internal controls: 1. You will not be able to oversee every function of your business. For this reason, you must establish policies and procedures for your employees to follow. By designing these policies and procedures around the principles of internal control, you have a foundation for safeguarding assets and enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the accounting records. 2. A good system of internal controls will help you attract investors and creditors because they will value the rewards of the system. 3. A good system of internal controls works to eliminate fraud. No business can assume that fraud will not take place. S-A E 227 (a) Identify the three activities that pertain to a petty cash fund, and indicate an internal control principle that is applicable to each activity. (b) When are journal entries required in the operation of a petty cash fund? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Resource Management, AICPA FN: Risk Analysis, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Internal Controls
Solution 227 The activities in a petty cash system and the related principles are:
(a) (1)
Establishing the fund.
*
(2)
Making payments from the fund.
*
(3)
Replenishing the fund.
*
Establishment of responsibility for custody of fund. Documentation procedures because the custodian must use a prenumbered petty cash receipt. Independent internal verification because the request for replenishment must be approved before the check is written.
(b) Journal entries are required for a petty cash fund when it is established and replenished. Entries are also required when the size of the fund is increased or decreased. S-A E 228 The preparation of a bank reconciliation is an important cash control procedure. If a company deposits cash receipts daily and makes all cash disbursements by check, explain why the cash balance per books might not agree with the cash balance shown on the bank statement. Identify specific examples that may cause differences between the cash balance per books and the cash balance per bank.

Fraud, Internal Control, and Cash
8 - 63
Solution 228 The cash balance per books will not agree with the cash balance shown on the bank statement due to time lags and errors by either party. A time lag could mean the bank records a transaction in a period later than the company records it (outstanding checks, deposits-in-transit) or the company records a transaction in a period later than the bank records it (NSF check, collection of a note, etc.). A common error is transposition of amounts in the recording process. S-A E 229

Moyer Instruments is a rapidly growing manufacturer of medical devices. As a result of its growth, the company's management recently modified several of its procedures and practices to improve internal control. Some employees are upset with the changes. They have complained that all these changes just show that the company no longer trusts them. Required: "Internal controls exist because most people can't be trusted." Is this true? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Resource Management, AICPA FN: Risk Analysis, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Internal Controls
Solution 229 Internal controls exist, not because most people can't be trusted, but to protect the company's assets from those few who can't be trusted. If it were a perfect world, and everyone could be trusted, internal controls would not be needed. However, it does not follow that internal controls indicate the opposite. It is true that anyone is capable of practically any action, if motivation and opportunity are both present. Since it is extremely difficult to measure motivation to directly or indirectly harm the company, let alone to monitor changes in motivation, a company's best recourse is to prevent opportunity. Rather than feel threatened by internal control measures, honest employees should feel grateful. When responsibility for all activities is clearly defined and when access to company assets is carefully controlled, the honest employees can demonstrate their honesty. When all employees are considered to be honest, on the other hand, and no controls exist, all employees are unfairly tainted when one among them is dishonest. S-A E 230

Legalaid is a legal office management franchise. There are currently twenty-five legal offices managed by a Legalaid franchisee. One of the services provided to franchisees is assistance in training various staff members. Legalaid is preparing a manual for the front office staff to use as a reference guide. It will be used in training new employees as well. One of the reasons the manual is being prepared is to stress the importance of strong internal controls. Required: Prepare a short paragraph, to be included in the training materials, describing the benefits of sound internal control, from the viewpoint of the employee.

Solution 230 All the controls discussed in this manual may seem unnecessary to you. It may also seem that management trusts no one. However, these practices and procedures actually benefit you, the employee. First, internal control policies clearly outline who is to be responsible for various activities, such as making the daily deposit of cash in the bank. If a problem arises regarding a deposit, it is very clear to whom the company should turn to resolve the problem. If correct procedures were not followed, blame is not placed on all employees. Only those who did not follow correct procedures are held accountable for their actions. Also, strong internal controls discourage many opportunistic people, who find such opportunities to harm the company are extremely limited. Finally, all these systems, practices, and procedures result in a well-managed company that is less likely to suffer unnecessary losses, and a much better place for you to work and build a career.

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Explain how companies recognize accounts receivable. Receivables are frequently classified as (1) accounts, (2) notes, and (3) other. Accounts receivable are amounts customers owe on account. Notes receivable are claims for which lenders issue formal instruments of credit as proof of debt. Other receivables include nontrade receivables such as interest receivable, loans to company officers, advances to employees, and income taxes refundable. Companies record accounts receivable when they provide a service on account or at the point of sale of merchandise on account. Account receivable are reduced by sales returns and allowances. Cash discounts reduce the amount received on accounts receivable. When interest is charged on a past due receivable, the company adds this interest to the accounts receivable balance and recognizes it as interest revenue.

2. Describe how companies value accounts receivable record their disposition. There are two methods of accounting for uncollectible accounts: the allowance method and the direct write-off method. Companies may use either the percentage-of-sales or the percentage-ofreceivables basis to estimate uncollectible accounts using the allowance method. The percentage-of-sales basis emphasizes the expense recognition principle. The percentage-ofreceivables basis emphasizes the cash realizable value of the accounts receivable. An aging schedule is often used with this basis. When a company collects an account receivable, it credits Accounts Receivable. When a company sells (factors) an account receivable, a service charge expense reduces the amount collected. 3. Explain how companies recognize notes receivable. For a note stated in months, the maturity date is found by counting the months from the date of issue. For a note stated in days, the number of days is counted, omitting the issue date and counting the due date. The formula for computing interest is Face value × Interest rate × Time. Companies record notes receivable at face value. In some cases, it is necessary to accrue interest prior to maturity. In this case, companies debit Interest Receivable and credit Interest Revenue. 4. Describe how companies value notes receivable, record their disposition, and present and analyze receivables As with accounts receivable, companies report notes receivable at their cash (net) realizable value. The notes receivable allowance account is the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The computation and estimations involved in valuing notes receivable at cash realizable value, and in recording the proper amount of bad debt expense and related allowance, are similar to those for accounts receivable. Notes can be held to maturity. At that time the face value plus accrued interest is due, and the note is removed from the accounts. In many cases, the holder of the note speeds up the conversion by selling the receivable to another party (a factor). In some situations, the maker of the note dishonors the note (defaults), in which case the company transfers the note and accrued interest to an accounts receivable or writes off the note. Companies should identify in the balance sheet or in the notes to the financial statements each major type of receivable. Short-term receivables are considered current assets. Companies report the gross amount of receivables and the allowance for doubtful accounts. They report bad debts and service charge expenses in the multiple-step income statement as operating (selling) expenses: Interest revenue appears under other revenues and gains in the nonoperating activities section of the statement. Managers and investors evaluate accounts receivable for liquidity by computing a turnover ratio and an average collection period.

Solution 234 The two bases available to calculate the estimated uncollectibles under the accrual based allowance method are: (a) percentage of sales basis and (b) percentage of receivables basis. The percentage-of-sales basis emphasizes the income statement while the percentage of receivables basis emphasizes the balance sheet. Under the percentage of sales basis the bad debt expense for the period is calculated directly as a percentage of net credit sales without regard to any balance in the allowance account. Under the percentage of receivables basis, the emphasis is on establishing the proper amount to carry as a balance in the allowance account; bad debt expense is indirectly determined to be the amount necessary to create the proper balance in the allowance account. S-A E 235 Customer purchases using credit cards are a significant source of revenue for many retailers. From the standpoint of a retailer, briefly discuss some advantages and disadvantages of a retail store having its own credit card as opposed to accepting one of the national credit cards (e.g., Visa, MasterCard). Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Risk Analysis, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 235 The advantages of a retail store using its own credit card are the avoidance of a 2 to 6 percent charge by the national credit card and the ability to issue credit to the customers of its choice. In addition, with its own credit card operation the retailer earns the interest on the unpaid balances. The disadvantages of a retail store using its own credit card are the risk of nonpayment (bad debts), the delay in receiving cash from the sales (cash is collected immediately from the national credit card company), and the costs of record keeping and managing (approving credit and collection) its own credit operation. S-A E 236 Banks that issue credit cards generally charge retailers a fee of 2 to 6% of the amount of sale. List reasons why companies are willing to pay these fees. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: None, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 236 1. The use of bank credit cards increases sales. Many people want to use credit cards to make purchases. If a company does not offer this service, customers will buy from a competitor that does offer the services. 2. Bad debts are absorbed by the credit card company. 3. The company receives its cash (less the fees) immediately. 4. The company does not have to hire employees to approve credit and make collections for these sales.

Accounting for Receivables
9 - 65
Solution 237 The reasons companies are selling their receivables are: (1) Receivables may be sold because they may be the only reasonable source of cash. (2) Billing and collection are often time-consuming and costly. It is often easier for a retailer to sell the receivables to another party with expertise in billing and collection matters. S-A E 238 Your roommate is uncertain about the advantages of a promissory note. Compare the advantages of a note receivable with those of an account receivable. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Risk Analysis, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 238 A promissory note gives the holder a stronger legal claim than one on an accounts receivable. As a result, it is easier to sell to another party. Promissory notes are negotiable instruments, which means they can be transferred to another party by endorsement. The holder of a promissory note also can earn interest. S-A E 239
(Ethics)
Brislin Books, a small book publishing company, wrote off the debt of The Academic Success Center, and the Academy of Advanced Learning, both small private schools, after it determined that the schools were facing serious financial difficulty. No notice of the action was sent to the schools; Brislin Books simply stopped sending bills. Nearly a year later, The Academic Success Center was given a large endowment and a government grant. The resulting publicity brought the school to the attention of Brislin Books, which immediately reinstated the account, and sent a new bill to the school, including interest for the entire time the debt was outstanding. No further action was taken regarding the Academy of Advanced Learning, which was still operational. Required: Did Brislin Books act ethically in reinstating the debt of one client, and not the other? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: None, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 239 Yes, it is ethical to reinstate the debt of The Academic Success Center, especially since there was no evidence given that The Academic Success Center attempted to negotiate a reduction or elimination of the debt, or even that it was aware that the debt had been written off by Brislin Books. Brislin Books' discovery that one bad debt may be collectible places the company under no obligation to attempt to collect any or all of its other bad debts, so it need not have reinstated the other account receivable. The addition of interest to the debt is another question. Whether the interest would be collectible depends upon the laws of the state, and whether the addition of interest was specified as a possibility when the debt was incurred. It is questionable whether Brislin Books can collect also because they apparently did not include interest in earlier bills sent to these clients, and because they stopped sending bills for some period of time. Note that this solution is different from the case in which a debt is written off because of a bankruptcy.

legally reinstated the debt, even if The Academic Success Center became solvent at some time in the future. S-A E 240 (Communication) Petersen Company received a letter from Jane Kimler, a customer. Jane had purchased $425 worth of clothing from Petersen on credit. She has made two payments of $50 each. She has missed the last two payments, and has received a collection letter from Petersen. Her total debt presently, with interest and late fees, is $351.13. Jane sent a letter to Petersen in which she asked for her debt to be forgiven. She said she had heard that companies make allowances for accounts they are doubtful about collecting, and that Petersen certainly should have been doubtful about her—that as a college student she had changed her major three times. She also said that she could not enjoy a high quality of life when making such high payments, but that she didn't want to be embarrassed by bill collectors, either. She especially didn't want her parents to find out that she had not paid her debts. Having Petersen write off her account seemed to her the best solution in the circumstances. She added that the clothes she bought at Petersen were among the best she had ever owned, and that she "told everybody" that Petersen was definitely the best place to get clothes. Required: You are the accounting manager for Petersen. Write a short letter to Jane explaining why her debt cannot be written off.

Accounting for Receivables Solution 240 (letterhead) (Date) Ms. Jane Kimler 123 College View Apartments, #717 Lakeland University Lakeland, Michigan 60771 Dear Ms. Kimler: Thank you for your recent letter explaining your delay in paying your account. We appreciated hearing about your satisfaction with Petersen clothing, and we're glad you tell your friends about us. As you know, your account is becoming seriously past due. Presently, the total charges, including late payment penalties and interest (detailed on the attached billing form) is $351.13. Your account cannot be simply "forgiven" as you request in your letter. Our "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" does not mean that we have certain customers whose debts we are willing to cancel readily. When Petersen extends credit to anyone, it is our expression of confidence in that person's ability and willingness to pay. In other words, we aren't "doubtful" about any of our customers. The allowance account is simply our recognition that a few customers, though very willing to pay, may become unable to do so because of circumstances beyond their control. If we detect some problem that may indicate a present or future unwillingness to pay, we do not extend credit. To do so would not be fair to Petersen or to the customer. We were sure about your ability and willingness to pay when we granted you credit. We were very pleased to receive your first two payments right on time. Won't you reconsider, and send your next payment today? If you need to renegotiate the size of the payments, you may contact Betty in the Credit Department to discuss the matter. I look forward to receiving your payment. Sincerely, Jill Gates Accounting Manager

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1.
Explain the accounting for plant asset expenditures. The cost of plant assets includes all expenditures necessary to acquire the asset and make it ready for its intended use. Once cost is established, the company uses that amount as the the basis of accounting for the plant assets over its useful life. Companies incur revenue expenditures to maintain the operating efficiency and productive life of an asset. They debit these expenditures to Maintenance and Repairs Expense as incurred. Capital expenditures increase the operating efficiency, productive capacity, or expected useful life of the asset. Companies generally debit these expenditures to the plant asset affected.
2.
Apply depreciation methods to plant assets. Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of a plant asset to expense over its useful (service) life in a rational and systematic manner. Depreciation is not a process of valuation, nor is it a process that results in an accumulation of cash. Three depreciation methods are: Effect on Method Annual Depreciation Formula Straight-line Constant amount Depreciable cost ÷ Useful life (in years) Units-of-activity Varying amount Depreciable cost per unit × Units of activity during the year Declining-balance Decreasing amount Book value at beginning of year × Declining-balance rate Companies make revisions of periodic depreciation in present and future periods, not retroactively. They determine the new annual depreciation by dividing the depreciable cost at the time of the revision by the remaining useful life.
3. Explain how to account for the disposal of plant assets. The accounting for disposal of a plant asset through retirement or sale is as follows: (a) Eliminate the book value of the plant asset at the date of disposal. (b) Record cash proceeds, if any. (c) Account for the difference between the book value and the cash proceeds as a gain or loss on disposal. 4. Describe how to account for natural resources and intangible assets. Companies compute depletion cost per unit by dividing the total cost of the natural resource minus salvage value by the number of units estimated to be in the resource. They then multiply the depletion cost per unit by the number of units extracted.

The process of allocating the cost of an intangible asset is referred to as amortization. The cost of intangible assets with indefinite lives is not amortized. Companies normally use the straight-line method for amortizing intangible assets. 5. Discuss how plant assets, natural resources, and intangible assets are reported and analyzed. Companies usually combine plant assets and natural resources under property, plant, and equipment: They show intangibles separately under intangible assets. Either within the balance sheet or in the notes, companies should disclose the balances of the major classes of assets, such as land, buildings, and equipment, and accumulated depreciation by major classes or in total. They also should describe the depreciation and amortization methods used, and should disclose the amount of depreciation and amortization expense for the period. The asset turnover measures the productivity of a company’s assets in generating sales. a6.
Explain how to account for the exchange of plant assets. Ordinarily companies record a gain or loss on the exchange of plant assets. The rationale for recognizing a gain or loss is that most exchanges have commercial substance. An exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows change as a result of the exchange.

Ex. 265 Quayle Mining Company purchased land containing an estimated 15 million tons of ore at a cost of $4,200,000. The land without the ore is estimated to be worth $600,000. The company expects to operate the mine for 12 years. Buildings costing $600,000 are erected on the site and are expected to last for 25 years. Equipment costing $300,000 with an estimated life of 15 years is installed. The buildings and the equipment possess no salvage value after the mine is closed. During the first year of operations, the mining company mined and sold 2 million tons of ore. Instructions (a) Compute the depletion charge per ton. (b) Compute the depletion for the first year. (c) Compute the appropriate first year's depreciation expense for the buildings. (d) Compute the appropriate first year's depreciation expense for the equipment. (e) Prepare journal entries to record depletion and depreciation expenses for the year.

(20 min.)
(a)
Depletion charge per ton: ($4,200,000 – $600,000) ÷ 15 million tons of ore = $.24 per ton
(b)
2,000,000 tons × $.24 = $480,000
(c)
The appropriate useful life is the shorter of the life of the mine or the life of the buildings. In this case, 12 years is the appropriate useful life ($600,000 ÷ 12 years = $50,000).
(d)

Operating Expense. Only successful patent defense costs can be capitalized.
(b)
Intangible Asset. Trademarks are renewable. Since Marin Company expects to use the trademark indefinitely, it will be recorded as an intangible asset, but it will not be amortized.
(c)
Intangible Asset. The patent cost of $2,000,000 should be amortized over its remaining useful life of 15 years since this is shorter than the maximum allowable period of 20 years.
(d)
Operating Expense. Research and development costs are required by GAAP to be expensed.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 305 The declining-balance method is an accelerated method of depreciation. Briefly explain what is meant by an accelerated method of depreciation and justify the choosing of an accelerated method. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 305 An accelerated depreciation method is a method which produces higher depreciation expense in the early years than in the later years. The choice of an accelerated method can be justified if the asset being depreciated contributes more to the revenue-earning process in the earlier years and less in the later years. In such a situation, an accelerated method would properly match expense to revenue. FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

S-A E 306 Identify the factors that are considered in classifying an expenditure as a capital or a revenue expenditure. Are there instances where it may be difficult to classify an expenditure as one or the other (e.g., the purchase of a wastebasket that has a useful life of 5 years and cost $10)? What basis would be used in a decision? Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Reporting
Solution 306 An expenditure is classified as a revenue expenditure if it maintains the operating efficiency and expected productive life of the asset and primarily benefits the current accounting period. Revenue expenditures are usually small amounts that occur frequently throughout the life of the asset and are often called ordinary repairs. An expenditure is classified as a capital expenditure if it increases (rather than maintains) operating efficiency, productive capacity, or expected useful life, and therefore benefits more than one accounting period. Capital expenditures are usually large amounts that occur infrequently during the life of the asset. Capital expenditures can be further classified as either additions or improvements. The distinction between a capital expenditure and a revenue expenditure is not always clear-cut. The purchase of an asset with a relatively insignificant cost (for example, the purchase of a $10 wastebasket with a 5 year useful life) may meet the criteria for classification as a capital expenditure, even though it is similar in many ways to a revenue expenditure (small amount, more frequent occurrence). The accounting constraint of materiality would indicate that this item could be recorded as an expense (more expedient) since it is not material enough to influence the decision of a reasonably prudent creditor or investor. S-A E 307 What are the similarities and differences between the terms depreciation, depletion, and amortization? Ans: N/A, LO: 5, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Reporting
Solution 307 The terms depreciation, depletion, and amortization are all concerned with allocating the cost of an asset to expense over the periods benefited. Depreciation refers to allocating the cost of a plant asset to expense, depletion to recognizing the cost of a natural resource as expense, and amortization to allocating the cost of an intangible asset to expense. S-A E 308 In general, how does one determine whether or not an expenditure should be included in the acquisition cost of property, plant, and equipment? Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics

10 - 82 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition includes getting an asset to its proper place, acquiring legal title, and getting the asset ready for its intended use. S-A E 309 Comment on the validity of the following statements: “As an asset loses its ability to provide services, cash needs to be set aside to replace it. Depreciation accomplishes this goal.” Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 309 Depreciation is the process of allocating to expense the cost of a plant asset over its useful (service) life in a rational and systematic manner. Recognizing depreciation for an asset does not result in the accumulation of cash for replacement of the asset. The balance in Accumulated Depreciation represents the total amount of the asset’s cost that has been charged to expense to date; it is not a cash fund. S-A E 310 Goodwill is an unusual asset in that it cannot be sold individually apart from a business as a whole. If goodwill is an intangible asset, why can't it be sold like other intangible assets such as copyrights and patents? Briefly explain what makes goodwill different. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 310 Goodwill is the value of all favorable attributes that relate to a business enterprise. As goodwill is the product of these attributes, and would not exist apart from them, goodwill cannot be separated from the company and then sold. This is different from a copyright or patent which can exist independent of a company, and can be sold apart from any other assets. S-A E 311 How is a gain or loss on the sale of a plant asset computed? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 311 In a sale of plant assets, the book value of the asset is compared to the proceeds received from the sale. If the proceeds of the sale exceed the book value of the plant asset, a gain on disposal occurs. If the proceeds of the sale are less than the book value of the plant asset sold, a loss on disposal occurs.

Physician Reference Service (PRS) provides services to physicians including research assistance, diagnosis coding and medical practice software including an advanced medical record cross-referencing system. PRS is aggressive in monitoring other firms' offerings and ensuring that its services are comparable to all others. Because of its need to stay abreast of new product offerings, PRS spends a lot of money sending professionals to trade shows. In addition, PRS has agreements with several clients whereby the client requests a presentation of a competitor's services. A PRS employee poses as an employee of the client's office and attends the presentation, obtaining as much data and sample information as possible. The cost of the travel and attending presentations is charged to Product Development and expensed during the current year. In April of this year, PRS began selling a software product substitute before the competitor's software was released. The competitor, Compu-Med, sued for copyright infringement and won. PRS had to withdraw its product from the market and pay $1.5 million in damages. PRS immediately negotiated an agreement with Compu-Med to sell Compu-Med's product (since it was prohibited from offering its own version for five years.) This agreement cost an additional $1.3 million, but it allowed PRS to continue to offer a full line of services. PRS's accountant, Jill Linsey, initially recorded the cash payments as "Loss from Lawsuit" and "Product Development," respectively. However, Jack Meyer, the controller, instructed Jill to create an intangible asset, named "Goodwill" and charge both costs to this account. "We're protected from another lawsuit as long as this agreement is in effect," he says. "It's about as close to goodwill as we'll ever get from our competitors. We might as well amortize the cost rather than take the full hit to income, anyway." Required: 1. What are the ethical issues? 2. What should Jill do? Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 312 1. The following are some of the ethical issues: a. Whether PRS should continue to obtain its information by deception b. Whether PRS makes a practice of pirating software c. Whether the attempt to hide the losses from the lawsuit and software agreement is indicative of the state of the accounting system at PRS. 2. Jill should explain to her boss that goodwill arises only when a business is purchased. It is not allowed to write off lawsuit losses or product development costs (which these clearly are) over more than one year. She cannot allow her integrity to be compromised by misrecording these economic events. She could also point out that Mr. Meyer's attempt to delay recognition of the losses will undoubtedly be discovered by the auditors. All the records will then likely be subjected to much more scrutiny than would otherwise be the case.

The Restor-It is a company specializing in the restoration of old homes. To showcase its work, the company purchased an old Victorian home in downtown Pittsburg, Kansas. The original home was purchased for $125,000. A new heating and air-conditioning system was added for $30,000. The house was completely rewired and re-plumbed at a cost of $50,000. Custom cabinets were added, and the floors and trim were refurbished to their original condition, at a cost of $75,000. The project was such a success, that Restor-It decided to purchase another very large home, this time in nearby Joplin, Missouri. A realtor offered to purchase the home in Pittsburg for $175,000. He plans to lease it as luxury short-term apartments for visiting dignitaries. Restor-It decided that a modest return was all that was required, and so they agreed to sell. Only afterward did they learn that they had a $10,000 loss on the sale. The president of the company, Dan Easler, does not believe that a loss is possible. "We sold that house for more than we paid for it," he said. "I know we put some money in it, but we had depreciated it for three years. How in the world can we have a loss?" Required: Write a short memo to Mr. Easler explaining how it would be possible to have a loss. Do not try to use specific numbers for cost or depreciation.

MEMO TO:
Dan Easler, President
FROM: Mary Martin, Accountant RE:
Loss on Pittsburg showcase
I understand that you are concerned about the loss on the Pittsburg showcase house. You have said that a loss is not possible, since we sold the house for more than we paid for it. Ordinarily, it would not be possible for any fixed asset to generate a loss if sold for more than the original purchase price. Accounting rules allow for writing down impaired assets, and depreciation also reduces the cost basis. In our case, however, we had added enough costs that it was almost like we purchased the house twice. Thus, we had a book value of $185,000 at the time of the sale, even though we had taken three years' depreciation. All in all, I think that the Pittsburg house was still an excellent investment—we got far more benefit from the $10,000 "loss" than we would have had spending ten times that much in advertising. To prevent the problem in the future, however, you could have the Accounting Department calculate the book value before you negotiate a sales contract. That way, you'll know the effect of the transaction on our income—though you should remember that book value is not a substitute for market value; we'll still have to rely on real estate agents for that. Let me know if you have further questions. (signature)

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Explain how to account for current liabilities. A current liability is a debt that a company expects to pay within one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer. The major types of current liabilities are notes payable, accounts payable, sales taxes payable, unearned revenues, and accrued liabilities such as taxes, salaries and wages, and interest payable. When a promissory note is interest-bearing, the amount of assets received upon the issuance of the note is generally equal to the face value of the note. Interest expense accrues over the life of the note. At maturity, the amount paid equals the face value of the note plus accrued interest. Companies record sales taxes payable at the time the related sales occur. The company serves as a collection agent for the taxing authority. Sales taxes are not an expense to the company. Companies initially record unearned revenues in an Unearned Revenue account. As a company recognizes revenue, a transfer from unearned revenue to revenue occurs. Companies report the current maturities of long-term debt as a current liability in the balance sheet. 2. Discuss how current liabilities are reported and analyzed. With notes payable, interest payable, accounts payable, and sales taxes payable, an obligation to make payment exists. In some cases, it is difficult to determine whether a liability exists. These situations are called contingent liabilities. If the contingency is probable (likely to occur) and the amount is reasonably estimable, the company should record the liability in the accounts. If the contingency is only reasonably possible (it could happen), then it should be disclosed only in the notes to the financial statements. If the possibility that the contingency will happen is remote (unlikely to occur), it need not be recorded or disclosed.

Companies should report the nature and amount of each current liability in the balance sheet or in schedules in the notes accompanying the statements. The liquidity of a company may be analyzed by computing working capital and the current ratio. 3. Explain how to account for payroll. The computation of the payroll involves gross earnings, payroll deductions, and net pay. In recording the payroll, companies debit Salaries and Wages Expense for gross earnings, credit individual tax and other liability accounts for payroll deductions, and credit Salaries and Wages Payable for net pay. When the payroll is paid, debit Salaries and Wages Payable and credit Cash. Employer payroll taxes consist of FICA, federal unemployment taxes, and state unemployment taxes. The taxes are usually accrued at the time the company records the payroll, by debiting Payroll Tax Expense and crediting separate liability accounts for each type of tax. The objectives of internal control for payroll are (1) to safeguard company assets against unauthorized payments of payrolls, and (2) to ensure the accuracy of the accounting records pertaining to payrolls. a
4. Discuss additional fringe benefits associated with employee compensation. Additional fringe benefits associated with wages are paid absences (paid vacations, sick pay benefits, and paid holidays), and postretirement benefits (pensions, healthcare, and life insurance).

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 215 A company will incur product repair costs in the future if products that it sells currently under warranty are brought in for repair during the warranty period. The company will also incur bad debts expense in the future if customers who buy on credit currently are unable to pay their accounts. Are the accounting procedures for these two contingent costs (warranty expense and bad debt expense) related or guided by the same accounting principle? Briefly explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economics
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
11 - 58 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition Solution 215 The accounting procedures for both warranty expense and bad debt expense are guided by the expense recognition principle. Accounting for warranty expense requires matching the expense with the period in which the revenue is earned for the product under warranty. Similarly, accounting for bad debt expense matches the bad debt expense resulting from credit sales with the period when revenue from the credit sale is earned. The accounting procedures for matching these costs with the related revenues are also similar because the costs can be estimated based on prior experience. Matching is possible by basing the expense on an estimate, using past data as a guide. S-A E 216 What is a contingent liability? Give an example of a contingent liability that is usually recorded in the accounts. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 216 A contingent liability is a potential liability that may become an actual liability in the future. Contingent liabilities are only recorded in the accounts if they are probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. Warranty costs are a contingent liability usually recorded in the accounts since they are both probable in occurrence and subject to estimation. S-A E 217 An employee's net pay consists of gross pay less mandatory and voluntary payroll deductions. Identify the mandatory payroll deductions and give two or three examples of common voluntary deductions. Are these deductions recognized as payroll expenses by the employer? What type of payroll expenses does the employer incur related to having a payroll? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 217 Mandatory payroll deductions include both federal and state income taxes and also FICA taxes. Among the deductions that are voluntary payroll deductions are United Way contributions, savings account deposits, insurance payments, and pension plan contributions. These mandatory payroll deductions do not represent payroll expenses for the employer because the employer is only acting as an agent in collecting these deductions. The expenses that do constitute payroll expenses for the employer include the federal and state unemployment taxes and the employer share of FICA taxes. S-A E 218 (a) (b)
Identify the three types of employer payroll taxes. How are tax liability accounts and payroll tax expense accounts classified in the financial statements?

Current Liabilities and Payroll Accounting
11 - 59
Solution 218 (a) (b)
The three types of taxes are: (1) FICA, (2) federal unemployment, and (3) state unemployment. The tax liability accounts are classified as current liabilities in the balance sheet. Payroll tax expense is classified under operating expenses in the income statement.
S-A E 219 (Ethics) Borowitz Company maintains two separate accounts payable computer systems. One is known to all the users, and is used to process payments to vendors. Employees enter the vendor code, or the name and address of new vendors, the amount, the account, and so on. The other system is a secret one. It is used to cross-check the vendors against an approved vendor list. If a vendor is not listed as approved, the payment process is halted. Internal audit employees seek to verify the existence of a bona fide claim by the vendor. All inquiries are made at the top management level, and very discreetly. No one but top management, the internal audit staff, and the Board of Directors of the company is even aware of the second system. Required: Is it ethical for a company to have a secret system like the one described? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Risk Management, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Internal Controls
Solution 219 Secret systems that seek to verify the integrity of the non-secret primary system are certainly ethical. In fact, nearly all fraud and theft detection systems are secret. It is only the misuse of these systems, such as to obtain unauthorized information, or to commit some other crime, that is unethical. S-A E 220 (Communication) Kellog Industries is a manufacturing company that makes various industrial components out of aluminum. Kellog is located in a large city in the northeastern United States. Various labor disputes have occurred in the city, some with acrimonious public debate concerning the honesty of management. During one of Kellog's routine employee meetings, Colin Ross, a production worker, brought up the issue of the cost of a worker as reported in the company's annual report. The cost was given as $32,000 per year. Colin points out that the average wage rate of $12 per hour is at most around $25,000 in gross wages. He asks whether the company is adding in overtime, because if so, the figures are misleading because the employees are not allowed to work overtime. Required: Prepare a note explaining to Mr. Ross how Kellog might calculate a cost per employee that is greater than gross wages. Explain in general terms only. Do not use any calculations.

11 - 60 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition Solution 220 (letterhead) Dear Mr. Ross: I was happy to meet with you in the monthly employee meetings. It was good to see that you had given so much thought to each issue. One of the issues about which you expressed concern was the company's use of a $32,000 figure as an average cost of an employee, when the average wage rate of an employee is only $12 per hour. You were right that the average gross pay of an employee is only around $25,000. There are, however, some additional costs that most employees never hear about, but that companies must pay. One of these is unemployment insurance. Exactly how much we pay depends on how many layoffs there are in the company and in the state, but we have to pay unemployment taxes on all employees. We also have to match the F.I.C.A. contributions. The greatest additional cost, however, is employee benefits. We pay around $2,000 per year per employee to get the best insurance benefits we can for our employees. We also pay for your uniforms; and we help you stay up-to-date by sponsoring employee education programs. I know this note has been pretty general—you'll be glad to see all the figures spelled out in detail in next year's annual report. Thanks again for coming to the meetings. I hope to see you again next month. (signature)

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Discuss and account for the formation of a partnership. The principal characteristics of a partnership are (a) association of individuals, (b) mutual agency, (c) limited life, (d) unlimited liability, and (e) co-ownership of property. When formed, a partnership records each partner's initial investment at the fair value of the assets at the date of their transfer to the partnership. 2. Explain how to account for net income or net loss of a partnership. Partnerships divide net income or net loss on the basis of the income ratio, which may be (a) a fixed ratio, (b) a ratio based on beginning or average capital balances, (c) salaries to partners and the remainder on a fixed ratio, (d) interest on partners' capital and the remainder on a fixed ratio, and (e) salaries to partners, interest on partners' capital, and the remainder on a fixed ratio. The financial statements of a partnership are similar to those of a proprietorship. The principal differences are (a) The partnership shows the division of net income on the income statement. (b) The owners' equity statement is called a partners’ capital statement. (c) The partnership reports each partner's capital on the balance sheet. 3.

Solution 209 Factors to be considered in determining how income and loss should be divided are: (1) a fixed ratio is easy to apply and it may be an equitable basis in some circumstances; (2) capital balance ratios when the funds invested in the partnership are considered the most critical factor; and (3) salary allowance and/or interest allowance coupled with a fixed ratio. This last approach gives specific recognition to differences that may exist among partners by providing salary allowances for time worked and interest allowances for capital invested.

Solution 210 The financial statements of a partnership are similar to those of a proprietorship. The differences are due to the number of partners involved. The income statement for a partnership is identical to the income statement for a proprietorship except for the division of net income. The owners' equity statement is called the partners' capital statement. This statement shows the changes in each partner's capital account and in total partnership capital during the year. On the balance sheet each partner's capital balance is reported in the owners' equity section.

12 - 62 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition S-A E 211 A partnership is liquidated by selling the non-cash assets, paying the creditors in full, and distributing the remaining assets to the partners. Explain why gains and losses on the realization of non-cash assets are distributed to the partners based on their income ratios, whereas cash is distributed to the partners based on their equity as shown in their capital accounts. What effects does the payment or nonpayment of a capital deficiency have on the distribution of cash to the partners? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 211 Gains and losses on the realization of non-cash assets are like income and losses; that is, they are income statement items and, therefore, are distributed to partners based on their income and loss ratios. Cash is a balance sheet item and is the basis for any residual equity after liquidation; therefore, the final asset amount cash should be distributed to partners in accordance with their equity balances. When the capital deficiency is paid, the payment is credited to the partner with the debit balance in the capital account. Then, the remaining cash is distributed to the partners with credit balances on the basis of their balances. If the capital deficiency is not paid, the deficiency is allocated to the partners with credit balances on the basis of their income ratios. The remaining cash is then distributed to these partners on the basis of their capital balances. S-A E 212 (Ethics) Three doctors, Marshall Murrey, Andrew Shaw, and Austin Taylor, opened a family medicine clinic. All three doctors had been lifelong friends. All belonged to the same religious faith. All were very active in church affairs, and tried to mold their professional behavior to their religious beliefs. About a year ago, Dr. Murrey announced that he was leaving the church. The others noticed that his personality also began to change. He began to dress in flamboyant styles, and he started wearing expensive-looking jewelry. His temper became unstable—one minute he was calm, and the next, he might be throwing charts down the hall and screaming. He started coming to the office late, and forgetting to see some of his patients before he left again. The other two at first were stunned at the changes. His wife asked them whether they thought he might have a drinking problem. After finally deciding to investigate, they found what looked to them like a large amount of cocaine, (hundreds of plastic sacks of white powder) tucked away in boxes of old medical equipment. Frightened, Drs. Shaw and Taylor decided to act quickly. Their partnership agreement said nothing about dissolving the partnership—only about what to do if one of them died. They therefore secretly rented office space across town and began to move the most necessary equipment and supplies to the new office. A month later, they changed the locks on the old office and began seeing patients in the new office without any notice to Dr. Murrey at all. Dr. Murrey simply came in at around ten o'clock as usual, and found himself locked out of an empty office. Required: Did Drs. Shaw and Taylor act ethically in their ending of the partnership? Explain.

Solution 212 No, Drs. Shaw and Taylor did not act ethically in the way they ended the partnership. It is important to distinguish between legal obligations and ethical obligations. The partnership may well be legally dissolved by their action. However, ethically, they had no right to act unilaterally, without giving Dr. Murrey a chance to defend himself or to correct his behavior. It also looks like they may have had an obligation to report their apparent cocaine "find" to the appropriate authorities, or at least to determine whether the substance was, in fact, cocaine. It is clear that the doctors had the right and obligation to protect Dr. Murrey’s patients, but there is no evidence given that he was actually endangering his patients. Drs. Shaw and Taylor’s actions seem to be cowardly, and an attempt to keep from facing unpleasant realities. S-A E 213 (Communication) Walter Bector and Sandy Melos began detail work on automobiles as a hobby. First, they used a mail-order kit to add "pin striping" to their own cars, a 1968 Mustang and a 1970 GTO Judge, respectively. Then Walter added more flourishes, including his name. Sandy practiced painting flames on his Judge. Gradually, their cars became recognized around town and others began to ask them to add a flourish here or there to their cars. They were talked into attending a "muscle car" show in a nearby large city to show off their cars. They had more requests for work than they could handle. Now, they are considering quitting their other jobs and making this a permanent business. Sandy, for example, turns down more jobs than he accepts and still gets more requests every week. Walter and Sandy are unsure how to proceed. They like the idea of a partnership, but they only know they work well together—things like how to split payment have just been settled individually for each job, depending on which one did more work. Walter’s father suggests a written partnership agreement. Walter disagrees. He believes that it will spoil the whole arrangement by reducing it to words. Required: Write a brief note to Walter explaining why he needs a partnership agreement.

12 - 64 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition Solution 213 Dear Walter, Your dad asked me to write to you. I am an accountant with the CPA firm Clinton, Grant, and Thomas, and I do a lot of work for partnerships. I understand that you don't want a written partnership agreement. I'd like to share with you a few things you may not have considered. First, I completely agree that a written agreement won't solve all your problems. I would even say that a poorly written agreement is worse than none at all. However, I don't know any partnerships in this town that have lasted for more than a year or two that don't have a written agreement. If they didn't have one at first, they learned by hard experience exactly why they needed one. I'd say the biggest advantage is that it forces both of you to spell out what you expect of the other party. You have discussed, I understand, how profits are to be split. Do both of you agree entirely? What if you decide another method would be more fair? What do you plan to do if you want to add a partner? Who makes the decisions about which building to rent, and what kind of help to hire? All these things can be spelled out in a partnership agreement. I hope you will seriously consider drawing up a good partnership agreement. Otherwise, you may condemn yourselves to spending more time clearing up misunderstandings than on fixing up cars. Let me know if I can help. I know a couple of attorneys in town who could get the job done without charging an arm and a leg. Sincerely, (signature)

The chapter also contains one set of ten Matching questions and seven Short-Answer Essay questions.
CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Discuss the major characteristics of a corporation. The major characteristics of a corporation are separate legal existence, limited liability of stockholders, transferable ownership rights, ability to acquire capital, continuous life, corporation management, government regulations, and additional taxes. Paid-in capital is the total amount paid in on capital stock. It is often called contributed capital. Retained earnings is net income retained in a corporation. It is often called earned capital. 2. Explain how to account for the issuance of common and preferred stock. When companies record the issuance of common stock for cash, they credit the par value of the shares to Common Stock. They record in a separate paid-in capital account the portion of the proceeds that is above or below par value. When no-par common stock has a stated value, the entries are similar to those for par value stock. When no-par stock does not have a stated value, companies credit the entire proceeds to Common Stock. Preferred stock has contractual provisions that give it priority over common stock in certain areas. Typically, preferred stockholders have a preference (1) to dividends and (2) to assets in liquidation. They usually do not have voting rights. 3. Explain how to account for treasury stock. The cost method is generally used in accounting for treasury stock. Under this approach, companies debit Treasury Stock at the price paid to reacquire the shares. They credit the same amount to Treasury Stock when they
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition
sell the shares. The difference between the sales price and cost is recorded in stockholders’ equity accounts, not in income statement accounts. 4. Prepare a stockholders' equity section. In the stockholders equity section, companies report paid-in capital and retained earnings and identify specific sources of paid-in capital. Within paid-in capital, two classifications are shown: capital stock and additional paid-in capital. If a corporation has treasury stock, it deducts the cost of treasury stock from total paid-in capital and retained earnings to obtain total stockholders' equity.

Solution 169 (a)
(10–15 min.)
The number of shares of common stock issued was 370,000. $1,850,000 ÷ $5 par value = 370,000 shares issued.
(b)
The number of shares of common stock outstanding was 352,000. 370,000 issued less 18,000 in treasury = 352,000 shares outstanding
(c)
The sales price of the common stock when issued was $2,015,000. Common stock $1,850,000 Plus: In excess of par 165,000 Total $2,015,000
(d)

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 200 Identify at least six characteristics of the corporate form of business organization. Contrast each one with the partnership form of organization. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Research, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: FSA
Solution 200 (a) (b) (c) (d)
Separate legal existence Limited liability of stockholders Transferable ownership rights Ability to acquire capital
(e) (f) (g) (h)
Continuous life Corporation management Government regulations Additional taxes
A partnership is not a separate legal entity because the act of any partner is binding on all other partners. A partnership has unlimited liability because each partner is personally and individually liable for all partnership liabilities. A partnership requires the approval of all the partners before ownership rights can be transferred. A partnership cannot acquire capital as easily as a corporation can. Investors are fearful of investing in a partnership because they then become liable for all partnership liabilities. The life of a corporation, which may be perpetual, is stated in the charter. The life of a partnership is dependent on the partners and any changes in the composition of the partnership. Corporations allow the owners (stockholders) to indirectly manage the corporation through the board of directors and the corporate officers. On the other hand, partners not only are the owners of their business but they also manage the daily operations. A partnership is not subject to as many regulations as a corporation. Many of these regulations are designed to protect the stockholders of the corporation who are not involved in the daily management of the company. Corporations must pay federal and state income taxes and the stockholders must pay taxes on the dividends received. Partners avoid this double taxation because they only have to pay taxes on the income reported on their personal income tax form. S-A E 201 Companies frequently issue both preferred stock and common stock. What are the major differences in the rights of stockholders between these two classes of stock? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 2, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
Solution 201 Common stockholders have the right to vote on corporate actions that require stockholders approval while preferred stockholders generally do not have voting rights. However, preferred stockholders will receive (1) dividends and (2) assets in the event of liquidation prior to common stockholders. Preferred stockholders may also have a cumulative dividend feature or a participating dividend feature. Both of these features increase the amount of dividends paid to the preferred stockholders. S-A E 202 Define par value, and discuss its significance in accounting. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 2, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting

Solution 202 Par value is an arbitrary amount established for a share of stock and printed on each stock certificate. It represents the legal capital of the corporation and constitutes a minimum cushion that must remain for the protection of the corporate creditors. Par value is also used for the calculation of preferred dividends. S-A E 203 Land appraised at $60,000 is purchased by issuing 1,000 shares of $25 par value common stock. The market price of the shares at the time of the exchange, based on active trading in the securities market, is $75 per share. Should the land be recorded at $25,000, $60,000, or $75,000? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 2, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: FSA
Solution 203 When stock is issued for services or noncash assets, the cost should be measured at either the fair value of the consideration given up (in this case, the stock) or the fair value of the consideration received (in this case, the land), whichever is more clearly evident. In this case, the fair value of the stock is more objectively determinable than that of the land, since the stock is actively traded in the securities market. The appraised value of the land is merely an estimate of the land's value, while the market price of the stock is the amount the stock was actually worth on the date of exchange. Therefore, the land should be recorded at $75,000, the common stock at $25,000, and the excess ($50,000) as paid-in capital in excess of par value. S-A E 204 Lang, Inc. purchases 1,000 shares of its own previously issued $5 par common stock for $15,000. The treasury stock is resold by Lang, Inc. for $20,000. What effect does this transaction have on (a) net income, (b) total assets, (c) total paid-in capital, and (d) total stockholders’ equity? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 2, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Reporting
Solution 204 When treasury stock is resold at a price above original cost, Cash is debited for the amount of the proceeds ($20,000), Treasury Stock is credited at cost ($15,000), and the excess ($5,000) is credited to Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock. Cash is an asset, and the other two accounts are part of stockholders’ equity. Therefore, this transaction: (a) has no effect on net income, (b) increases total assets, (c) increases total paid-in capital, and (d) increases total stockholders’ equity.

13 - 56 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition S-A E 205 (Ethics) Rob Rote, the president and CEO of RRR Waste Management, was recently hospitalized, suffering from exhaustion and a heart ailment. Immediately prior to his hospitalization, RRR had experienced a sharp decline in its stock price, and trading activity became almost nonexistent. The primary reason for this was concern expressed in the media over a new untested waste management system implemented by the company. Mr. Rote had been unwilling to submit the procedure to testing before implementation, but he reluctantly agreed to limited tests after the system was operational. No problems have been identified by the tests to date. The other members of management called a meeting to determine what they should do. Randy Smith, the marketing manager, suggested that the company purchase a large number of shares of treasury stock. In that way, investors might notice that activity had picked up, and might decide to buy some more shares. This plan would use up most of the company's available cash, so that there will be no money available for a cash dividend. RRR has paid cash dividends every quarter for over ten years. Required: 1. Is Mr. Smith’s suggestion ethical? Explain. 2. Is it ethical to discontinue the cash dividend? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 3, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Interaction, IMA: Investment Decisions
Solution 205 1. There is no definite answer as to whether Mr. Smith's suggestion is ethical. There are several points that might be made, supporting either premise. First, it is a large transaction being made in the absence of the CEO, and made entirely to boost stock price. It is not clear what the long-term benefit to the company will be, even if it is successful. Thus, a student might argue that the large purchase of treasury stock, using up most of the available cash, might be unethical because of the potential damage done to the company, without a large enough potential reward. On the other hand, the company might benefit by keeping its stock price high (and supposing that this purchase will enhance the stock price) by being able to issue additional shares of stock to finance future expansion. It is to be hoped that the students can articulate the concept that legality of an action is not the only determinate of whether an action is ethical. 2. A company may discontinue its dividend at will. Holders of common stock should know that they are not entitled to a dividend, even when one has been declared and paid every year. There is no expressed or implied contract to pay a dividend to holders of common stock, and so the discontinuance of the dividend is ethical. However, the company may lose more in share price by discontinuing a long-standing dividend than it gains by its large purchase of treasury stock.

S-A E 206 (Communication) As part of a Careers in Accounting program sponsored by accounting organizations and supported by your company, you will be taking a group of high school students through the accounting department in your company. You will also provide them with various materials to explain the work of an accountant. One of the materials you will provide is the Stockholders’ Equity section of a recent balance sheet. Required: Prepare a sentence or two explaining each major section: Common Stock, Additional Paid-in Capital, and Retained Earnings. You should try to be brief but clear. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 2, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector, AICPA FN: Research, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 206 Common Stock: When investors invest in our company, they purchase common stock. Part of the purchase price is shown in this section, and is called "par" value. Par value is a legal term, denoting the amount of money that the company must retain in order to satisfy creditors’ claims, if the company should become insolvent. Additional Paid-in Capital: The remainder of the amount paid by investors who purchase shares of stock in our company is shown in this section. Thus, the Common Stock section and the Additional Paid-in Capital section together show the amount paid by investors to purchase shares of our stock. Retained Earnings: This shows the earnings that have been retained in the firm to finance future growth. The other earnings were paid to our stockholders as dividends.

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1.
Explain how to account for cash dividends. Companies make entries for cash dividends at the declaration date and at the payment date. At the declaration date, the entry is debit Cash Dividends and credit Dividends Payable. At the payment date, the entry is debit Dividends Payable and credit Cash.
2.
Explain how to account for stock dividends and splits. At the declaration date, the entry for a small stock dividend is debit Stock Dividends, credit Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par (or Slated Value)—Common Stock, and credit Common Stock Dividends Distributable. At the payment date, the entry for a small stock dividend is debit Common Stock Dividends Distributable and credit Common Stock. A stock split reduces the par or stated value per share and increases the number of shares but does not affect balances in stockholders’ equity accounts.
3.
Prepare and analyze a comprehensive stockholders' equity section. A comprehensive stockholders' equity section includes all stockholders' equity accounts. It consists of two sections: paid-in capital and retained earnings. It should also include notes to the financial statements that explain any restrictions on retained earnings and any dividends in arrears. One measure of profitability is the return on common stockholders’ equity. It is calculated by dividing net income minus preferred stock dividends by average common stockholders’ equity.
4.
Describe the form and content of corporation income statements. The form and content of corporation income statements are similar to the statements of proprietorships and partnerships with one exception: Corporations must report income taxes or income tax expense in a separate section before net income in the income statement. Companies compute earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. When preferred stock dividends exist, they must be deducted from net income in order to calculate EPS.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 183 The ultimate effect of incurring an expense is to reduce stockholders' equity. The declaration of a cash dividend also reduces stockholders' equity. Explain the difference between an expense and a cash dividend and explain why they have the same effect on stockholders' equity. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 3, AACSB: Analytic, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 183 An expense is the cost of assets consumed or services used in the process of earning revenue. A cash dividend is part of the net income that is distributed to the stockholders. Thus, an expense is a cost incurred to earn net income while a cash dividend is a distribution to the stockholders of the net income earned. An expense and a cash dividend, however, both result in a decrease in stockholders' equity, or more specifically, retained earnings. Expenses and cash dividends both decrease the amount of earned capital that is retained in the corporation. S-A E 184 A large stock dividend and stock split can frequently have the same effect on the market price of a corporation's stock. Explain how stock dividends and stock splits affect the market price of a corporation's stock. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 3, AACSB: Analytic, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 184 Stock dividends and stock splits both involve the issuance of additional shares of stock to the stockholders. The market price of a corporation's stock is affected because of an increase in the stock's marketability. A small stock dividend does not result in a large increase in the number of shares outstanding and therefore will not increase the stock's marketability. Thus, a small stock dividend will have little effect on the market price per share. However, both a large stock dividend and a stock split will cause a large increase in the number of shares outstanding. This increase in the number of shares outstanding makes the stock marketable to a larger number of individuals. Consequently, the market price per share will decrease. S-A E 185 Why must a corporation have sufficient retained earnings before it may declare cash dividends?

Solution 185 By definition, a dividend is the distribution of profits 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 and in many states is illegal. In addition, companies are frequently constrained by agreements with their lenders to pay dividends only from retained earnings. S-A E 186 Three dates are important in connection with cash dividends. Identify these dates, and explain their significance to the corporation and its stockholders. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 3, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 186 The declaration date is the date when the board of directors formally declares the cash dividend and announces it to stockholders. The declaration commits the corporation to a binding legal obligation that cannot be rescinded. The record date is the date that marks the time when ownership of the outstanding shares is determined from the stockholder records maintained by the corporation. The purpose of this date is to identify the persons or entities that will receive the dividend. The payment date is the date on which the dividend checks are mailed to the stockholders. S-A E 187 Mike Mergenthaler asks, “Since stock dividends don't change anything, why declare them?" What is your answer to Mike? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 3, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: None, IMA: FSA
Solution 187 A corporation generally declares stock dividends for one of the following reasons: (1) To satisfy stockholders' dividend expectations without spending cash. (2) To increase the marketability of its stock by increasing the number of shares outstanding and thereby decreasing the market price per share. Decreasing the market price of the stock makes the shares easier to purchase for smaller investors. (3) To emphasize that a portion of stockholders' equity that had been reported as retained earnings has been permanently reinvested in the business and therefore is unavailable for cash dividends. S-A E 188 A prior period adjustment is occasionally reported in company financial statements. What is a prior period adjustment, and how is it reported in the financial statements? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 3, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 188 A prior period adjustment is a correction of an error in previously issued financial statements. The correction is reported in the current year's retained earnings statement as an adjustment of the beginning balance of retained earnings.

(Ethics)
Jason Gorni, the president and CEO of Better Earth, Inc., a waste management firm, was recently hospitalized, suffering from exhaustion and a heart ailment. Immediately prior to his hospitalization, Better Earth had experienced a sharp decline in its stock price, and trading activity became almost nonexistent. The primary reason for this was concern expressed in the media over a new untested waste management system implemented by the company. Mr. Gomi had been unwilling to submit the procedure to testing before implementation, but he reluctantly agreed to limited tests after the system was operational. No problems have been identified by the tests to date. The other members of management called a meeting to determine what they should do. Sean Casey, the marketing manager, suggested that the company purchase a large number of shares of treasury stock. In that way, investors might notice that activity had picked up, and might decide to buy some more shares. This plan would use up most of the company's available cash, so that there will be no money available for a cash dividend. Better Earth has paid cash dividends every quarter for over ten years. Required: 1. Is Mr. Casey’s suggestion ethical? Explain. 2. Is it ethical to discontinue the cash dividend? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 189 1. There is no definite answer as to whether Mr. Casey’s suggestion is ethical. There are several points that might be made, supporting either premise. First, it is a large transaction being made in the absence of the CEO, and made entirely to boost stock price. It is not clear what the long-term benefit to the company will be, even if it is successful. Thus, a student might argue that the large purchase of treasury stock, using up most of the available cash, might be unethical because of the potential damage done to the company, without a large enough potential reward. On the other hand, the company might benefit by keeping its stock price high (assuming that this purchase will enhance the stock price) by being able to issue additional shares of stock to finance future expansion. It is to be hoped that the students can articulate the concept that legality of an action is not the only determinate of whether an action is ethical. 2. A company may discontinue its dividend at will. Common shareholders should know that they are not entitled to a dividend, even when one has been declared and paid every year. There is no expressed or implied contract to pay a dividend to common shareholders, and so the discontinuance of the dividend is ethical. However, the company may lose more in share price by discontinuing a long-standing dividend than it gains by its large purchase of treasury stock.

You will also provide them with various materials to explain the work of an accountant. One of the materials you will provide is the Stockholders’ Equity section of a recent balance sheet. Required: Prepare a sentence or two explaining each major section: Common Stock, Additional Paid-in Capital, and Retained Earnings. You should try to be brief but clear. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 3, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 190 Common Stock: When investors invest in our company, they purchase common stock. Part of the purchase price is shown in this section, and is called "par" value. Par value is a legal term, denoting the amount of money that the company must retain in order to satisfy creditors’ claims, if the company should become insolvent. Additional Paid-in Capital: The remainder of the amount paid by investors who purchase shares of stock in our company is shown in this section. Thus, the Common Stock section and the Additional Paid-in Capital section together show the amount paid by investors to purchase shares of our stock. Retained Earnings: This shows the earnings that have been retained in the firm to finance future growth. The other earnings were paid to our stockholders as dividends.

Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition
CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Describe the major characteristics of bonds. Bonds can have many different features and may be secured, unsecured, convertible, or callable. The terms of the bond issue are set forth in a bond indenture, and a bond certificate provides the specific information about the bond itself. 2. Explain the accounting for bond transactions. When companies issue bonds, they debit Cash for the cash proceeds, and credit Bonds Payable for the face value of the bonds. The account Premium on Bonds Payable shows the bond premium; Discount on Bonds Payable shows a bond discount. When bondholders redeem bonds at maturity, the issuing company credits Cash and debits Bonds Payable for the face value of the bonds. When bonds are redeemed before maturity, the issuing company (a) eliminates the carrying value of the bonds at the redemption date, (b) records the cash paid, and (c) recognizes the gain or loss on redemption. When bonds are converted to common stock, the issuing company transfers the carrying (or book) value of the bonds to appropriate paid-in capital accounts. No gain or loss is recognized. 3. Explain the accounting for long-term notes payable. Each payment consists of (1) interest on the unpaid balance of the loan and (2) a reduction of loan principal. The interest decreases each period, while the portion applied to the loan principal increases. 4. Discuss how long-term liabilities are reported and analyzed. Companies should report the nature and amount of each long-term debt in the balance sheet or in the notes accompanying the financial statements. Companies may sell bonds to investors to raise long-term capital. Bonds offer the following advantages over common stock: (a) stockholder control is not affected, (b) tax savings result, (c) earnings per share of common stock may be higher. Stockholders and long-term creditors are interested in a company’s long-run solvency. Debt to assets and times interest earned are two ratios that provide information about debt-paying ability and long-run solvency. A lease grants the right to use specific property for a period of time in return for cash payments. For an operating lease, the lessee (renter) records lease (rental) payments as an expense. For a capital lease, the lessee records the asset and related obligation at the present value of the future lease payments. a
5. Apply the straight-line method of amortizing bond discount and bond premium. The straight-line method of amortization results in a constant amount of amortization and interest expense per period.
a
6. Apply the effective-interest method of amortizing bond discount and bond premium. The effective-interest method results in varying amounts of amortization and interest expense per period but a constant percentage rate of interest. When the difference between the straight-line and effective-interest method is material, GAAP requires the use of the effective-interest method.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 206 Bonds are frequently issued at amounts greater or less than face value. Describe how the market interest rate, relative to the contractual interest rate, affects the selling price of bonds. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: N/A, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Reporting
Solution 206 The market interest rate often is different from the contractual interest rate and therefore bonds are frequently issued at amounts greater or less than face value. When the market interest rate is higher than the contractual rate, investors can find better investments elsewhere and consequently there is less demand for the bonds. So to make the bonds more attractive the issue price will be lowered and the bonds will be issued at a discount. Conversely, if the market interest rate is less than the contractual rate there will be greater demand for the bonds because of the higher interest rate. Thus, the issue price will be greater than face value and the bonds will be issued at a premium. S-A E 207 When a bond sells at a discount, what is probably true about the market interest rate versus the stated interest rate? Discuss. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 207 For someone to purchase a bond at a discount, the stated interest rate normally must be below the market interest rate for similar bonds. Investors will need to make up the difference by paying less than the face value for the bonds. S-A E 208 Bonds may be redeemed (retired) before maturity by the issuing corporation. Explain why a company would decide to retire bonds before maturity and the necessary steps to record the redemption. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 208 A company may decide to retire bonds before maturity to reduce interest cost and remove debt from its balance sheet. A company will retire debt early only if it has sufficient cash resources.
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
15 - 56 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition When bonds are retired before maturity, it is necessary to eliminate the carrying value of the bonds at the redemption date and recognize a gain or loss on redemption. The gain or loss is the difference between the cash paid and the carrying value of the bonds. S-A E 209 Tim Stihl and Matt Jaffney are discussing how the market price of a bond is determined. Tim believes that the market price of a bond is solely a function of the amount of the principal payment at the end of the term of a bond. Is he right? Discuss. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Research, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 209 No, Tim is not right. The market price of any bond is a function of three factors: (1) The dollar amounts to be received by the investor (interest and principal), (2) The length of time until the amounts are received (interest payment dates and maturity date), and (3) The market interest rate. S-A E 210 A company desires to replace its current plant equipment with new equipment that costs $10,000,000. One possibility would be for the company to issue $10,000,000 of bonds and use the proceeds to purchase the equipment. Another possibility is to acquire the use of the equipment by signing a long-term capital lease with a leasing company. Describe and compare the financial statement effects of these two alternatives. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Reporting
Solution 210 The bond alternative will result in the balance sheet presentation of an asset (Equipment) and a long-term liability (Bonds Payable), which probably will have a corresponding liability valuation account (Premium or Discount on Bonds Payable). The income statement will show the interest expense from the payment of interest to the bondholder and the depreciation expense for the equipment. The leasing alternative will result in the balance sheet presentation of a Leased Asset, recorded at the present value of the cash payments for the lease. The portion of the Lease Liability expected to be paid in the next year is reported as a current liability while the remainder is classified as a long-term liability. The income statement will show the interest expense, which is the financing cost, and since the lessee has essentially purchased the asset, the income statement will also show the depreciation expense. S-A E 211 Sarah Mongan is discussing the advantages of the effective-interest method of bond amortization with her accounting staff. What do you think Sarah is saying? Ans: N/A, LO: 6, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 211 Sarah is probably indicating that since the borrower has the use of the bond proceeds over the term of the bonds, the borrowing rate in each period should be the same. The effective-interest method results in a varying amount of interest expense but a constant rate of interest on the FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

balance outstanding. Accordingly, it results in a better matching of expenses with revenues than the straight-line method. S-A E 212 (Ethics) Ton Janner, a 26-year-old entrepreneur, started Bells & Whistles (B&W), Inc., a firm that specializes in top-of-the-line add-ons for computer systems. The firm has a capital structure of approximately 60% debt. This was necessitated by the rapid growth of B&W, and Mr. Janner's lack of personal funds to sustain the growth. The 60% debt amount is quite high for firms in this field, and in fact slightly exceeds the debt covenants negotiated with the bank. B&W recently received notice that the bank considers the company's debt to be excessive, and that some accelerated repayment schedule will be adopted. The notice came at a particularly bad time. B&W is in the midst of a major upgrade of its own computer system. The hardware was to have been purchased outright, financed by the seller, Karl miner, longtime friend of Mr. Janner. Mr. Miner really needs Mr. Janner’s business. Both believe in the long-term strength of B&W. He therefore suggests to Mr. Janner that the equipment be purchased by means of a short-term lease. Mr. Janner could renew the lease annually. Required: 1. Is Mr. Miner’s suggestion ethical? Explain. 2. If Mr. Janner accepts the suggestion, is he behaving ethically? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 212 1. Mr. Miner’s suggestion is ethical, at least on its face. Since a long-term lease is not possible, a short-term lease is a possibility. However, if there is some kind of agreement between the parties that essentially makes the lease a long-term one, it would not be ethical to treat it as a short-term lease for accounting purposes. 2. Since Mr. Miner’s suggestion is ethical, Mr. Janner's acceptance of the suggestion is also ethical, with the same provisions. However, he should not accept the suggestion if his ability to pay Mr. Miner will be compromised by the accelerated repayment required by the bank. S-A E 213 (Communication) Karen Kline works for Permier Press, a fairly large book publishing firm. Her best friend and rival, Mona, works for Copper Books, a smaller publisher. Both companies issue $100,000 in bonds on July 1. Permier's bonds were issued at a discount, while Copper's were issued at a premium. Mona sent Karen a fax the next day. She told Karen that it was obvious who the better publisher was—the market had shown its preference! She reminded Karen again of her recent increase in salary as further proof of the superiority of Copper Books. Required: Draft a short note for Karen to send to Mona. Explain how such a result could occur. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
15 - 58 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition Solution 213 Many answers are possible. The format should be fairly informal, and the point that a discount or premium is not necessarily a judgment on the strength or weakness of a company should be addressed. A suggested note follows:
Mona— I can't believe that Copper can survive with people like you handling their money! I also can't believe their lack of judgment in giving you a raise! Just kidding! Seriously, though, you can't prove that Permier is a bad company just by the bond price. Our bonds were issued at a discount, not because of the market's evaluation of our company, but because we underestimated interest rates. Copper got a premium because it overestimated interest rates. You'll have to find some other evidence to prove your company is better, (which you can't, because it isn't). Seriously (again), congratulations on your raise. Shall we still meet for lunch on Wednesday? How about trying our luck with chopsticks at the Chinese Panda? Let me know if your plans change. (signed)

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Explain how to account for debt investments. Companies record investments in debt securities when they purchase bonds, receive or accrue interest, and sell the bonds. They report gains or losses on the sale of bonds in the “Other revenues and gains” or “Other expenses and losses” sections of the income statement. 2. Explain how to account for stock investments. Companies record investments in common stock when they purchase the stock, receive dividends, and sell the stock. When ownership is less than 20%, the cost method is used. When ownership is between 20% and 50%, the equity method should be used. When ownership is more than 50%, companies prepare consolidated financial statements. Consolidated financial statements indicate the magnitude and scope of operations of the companies under common control. 3. Discuss how debt and stock investments are reported in financial statements. Investments in debt securities are classified as trading, available-for-sale, or held-tomaturity securities for valuation and reporting purposes. Stock investments are classified either as trading or available-for-sale securities. Stock investments have no maturity date and therefore are never classified as held-to-maturity securities. Trading securities are reported in current assets at fair value, with changes from cost reported in net income. Available-for-sale securities are also reported at fair value, with the changes from cost reported in stockholders' equity. Available-for-sale securities are classified as short-term or long-term, depending on their expected future sale date. Short-term investments are securities that are (a) readily marketable and (b) intended to be converted to cash within the next year or operating cycle, whichever is longer. Investments that do not meet both criteria are classified as long-term investments.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 184 Distinguish between the cost and equity methods of accounting for investments in stocks. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
Solution 184 Under the cost method, an investment is originally recorded and reported at cost. Dividends are recorded as revenue. In subsequent periods, it is adjusted to fair value and an unrealized holding gain or loss is recognized and included in income (trading security) or as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (available-for-sale security). Under the equity method, the investment is originally recorded and reported at cost; subsequently, the investment account is adjusted during each period for the investor's share of the earnings or losses of the investee. The investor's share of the investee's earnings is recognized in the earnings of the investor. Dividends received from the investee are reductions in the carrying amount of the investment. S-A E 185 A consolidated balance sheet reports the financial position of two or more legal entities just as if they were one reporting unit. Explain why all the individual items appearing on the separate balance sheets of each of the affiliated companies cannot be added together to arrive at a consolidated total for each item. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
Solution 185 A consolidated balance sheet does not include transactions that occurred between the affiliated companies (intercompany transactions). The inclusion of intercompany transactions would cause the assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity accounts to all be overstated in the consolidated balance sheet. Thus, the individual items appearing on the separate balance sheets cannot simply be added together. S-A E 186 What purposes are served by reporting Unrealized Gains (Losses)—Equity in the stockholders’ equity section? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
Solution 186 Reporting Unrealized Gains (Losses)—Equity in the stockholders’ equity section serves two important purposes: (1) it reduces the volatility of net income due to fluctuations in fair value, and (2) it still informs the financial statement user of the gain or loss that would occur if the securities were sold at fair value. S-A E 187 The Fair Value Adjustment account is a balance sheet account. Identify the asset account it is related to. Explain how this account is increased and describe the procedure followed when its related asset account is disposed of. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
16 - 52 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition Solution 187 The Fair Value Adjustment account is a valuation allowance account for short-term and long-term investments. The Fair Value Adjustment account is increased when the difference between the investments’ fair value and cost increases. When specific securities are sold, the Fair Value Adjustment account is ignored because the account relates to the entire portfolio and not the specific securities. S-A E 188 When a year-end adjustment is made to reduce the trading securities portfolio to market, what effect, if any, will the adjustment have on the balance sheet and the income statement? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
Solution 188 The unrealized loss would be reported in the Other Expenses and Losses section of the Income Statement and the assets would be decreased by a credit balance in the Fair Value Adjustment— Trading valuation account. S-A E 189 (Ethics) Greyhound Stables, Inc. operates several dog racing tracks throughout the United States. Since most facilities are outdoor tracks only, most of the cash receipts for Greyhound are received from April through October. These funds are usually invested in short-term, very liquid investments, such as stocks and bonds. Among the stocks purchased last year, was Servitronics, a company specializing in automatic vending equipment. The company decided not to sell its Servitronics stock at the end of last year, and has purchased more of the stock this year. The company intends to continue to purchase stock until it holds enough to make a takeover bid for the company. The accountants have been instructed to continue to classify the investment as short-term until the takeover is accomplished, so that less attention will be directed to it. (Presently, Greyhound has no long-term investment in stock at all.) Required: 1. Is it ethical for Greyhound to attempt to take over another company? Explain. 2. Is it ethical for Greyhound to leave its investment in the short-term investment category? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 189 1. Yes, Greyhound may attempt to "take over" or purchase another company. The means that it uses to accomplish its goal must be ethical, and certainly building up a portfolio of the stock in question is ethical. Unethical takeovers are those in which a company is purchased for its assets and "harvested," leaving employees without jobs, and possibly irreparably damaging a community. 2. It is not ethical for the company to leave the stock in the short-term category if it no longer meets the criterion for a short-term investment. It would depend upon whether the company was serious in its intention to purchase a controlling interest in Servitronics. Since there is no evidence to the contrary, it appears that Greyhound's investment should be classified as longterm. FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

S-A E 190 (Communication) Sue Garner is the daughter of Fred Garner, the founder and president of Big Sky Enterprises. She has been working in various departments during school vacations throughout high school. She burst into the accounting department excitedly one morning. She said that the stock prices of several of the firm's available-for-sale securities are up, and that her father said that the company had made over $10,000 because of this jump in stock prices. She asks to see how the increase is recorded. It is a very busy time in the accounting department, and so her question is deferred. Required: Prepare a brief note to answer Sue's question. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: FSA
Solution 190 This communication can be informal, but it should contain the key elements of the answer.
Dear Sue, Yesterday, you asked to see how we recorded the $10,000 that the company had “earned” because of the jump in the price of some of the stock we hold. Since we were finishing month-end closing, we couldn't answer your question right away. The basic answer to your question is that we don't record those earnings. The change in stock price is kind of like having the value of your house or car change. You don't get any money unless you sell the house or the car. It's the same with those investments. We record changes in the value only when we sell the stock. We would record the difference between the amount we paid originally and the amount we received on the sale as a gain or a loss. Again, I'm sorry we couldn't ask you to stay yesterday. Stop by again sometime (any time except month end!). (signed)

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Discuss the usefulness and format of the statement of cash flows. The statement of cash flows provides information about the cash receipts, cash payments, and net change in cash resulting from the operating, investing, and financing activities of a company during the period. Operating activities include the cash effects of transactions that enter into the determination of net income. Investing activities involve cash flows resulting from changes in investments and long-term asset items. Financing activities involve cash flows resulting from changes in long-term liability and stockholders' equity items. 2. Prepare a statement of cash flows using the indirect method. The preparation of a statement of cash flows involves three major steps. (1) Determine net cash provided/used by operating activities by converting net income from an accrual basis to a cash basis. (2) Analyze changes in noncurrent asset and liability accounts and record as investing and financing activities, or disclose as noncash transactions. (3) Compare the net change in cash on the statement of cash flows with the change in the Cash account reported on the balance sheet to make sure the amounts agree. FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

3. Analyze the statement of cash flows. Free cash flow indicates the amount of cash a company generated during the current year that is available for the payment of additional dividends or for expansion. a
4. Prepare a statement of cash flows using the direct method. The preparation of the statement of cash flows involves three major steps. (1) Determine net cash provided/used by operating activities by converting net income from an accrual basis to a cash basis. (2) Analyze changes in noncurrent asset and liability accounts and record as investing and financing activities, or disclose as noncash transactions. (3) Compare the net change in cash on the statement of cash flows with the change in the Cash account reported on the balance sheet to make sure the amounts agree. The direct method reports cash receipts less cash payments to arrive at net cash provided by operating activities.
a
5. Use a worksheet to prepare the statement of cash flows using the indirect method. When there are numerous adjustments, a worksheet can be a helpful tool in preparing the statement of cash flows. Key guidelines for using a worksheet are as follows (1) List accounts with debit balances separately from those with credit balances. (2) In the reconciling columns in the bottom portion of the worksheet, show cash inflows as debits and cash outflows as credits. (3) Do not enter reconciling items in any journal or account, but use them only to help prepare the statement of cash flows. The steps in preparing the worksheet are as follows. (1) Enter beginning and ending balances of balance sheet accounts. (2) Enter debits and credits in reconciling columns. (3) Enter the increase or decrease in cash in two places as a balancing amount.
a
6. Use the T-account approach to prepare a statement of cash flows. To use T-accounts to prepare the statement of cash flows: (1) prepare a large Cash T-account with sections for operating, investing, and financing activities; (2) prepare smaller T-accounts for all other noncash accounts; (3) insert beginning and ending balances for all accounts; and (4) follow the steps in illustration 17-3 (page 732), entering debit and credit amounts as needed.

Solution 212 Operating activities include the cash effects of transactions that create revenues and expenses and thus enter into the determination of net income. Investing activities include: (a) purchasing and disposing of investments and productive longlived assets and (b) lending money and collecting loans. Financing activities include: (a) obtaining cash from issuing debt and repaying amounts borrowed and (b) obtaining cash from stockholders, repurchasing shares, and paying them dividends. S-A E 213 Why is the statement of cash flows useful? Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 3, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
Solution 213 The statement of cash flows is useful because it provides information to the investors, creditors, and other users about: (1) the company's ability to generate future cash flows, (2) the company's ability to pay dividends and meet obligations, (3) the reasons for the difference between net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and (4) the cash investing and financing transactions during the period. S-A E 214 The statement of cash flows is the only required financial statement that is not prepared from an adjusted trial balance. (a) What are the sources of information for preparing a statement of cash flows? (b) Explain how the accrual basis of accounting affects the statement of cash flows. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 3, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
17 - 64 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition Solution 214 (a) The information used to prepare the statement of cash flows usually comes from three sources. These sources are (1) a comparative balance sheet, (2) current income statement, and (3) additional information. (b) The accrual basis of accounting requires that revenues be recorded when recognized and that expenses be recorded when incurred. Thus, net income may include revenues for which cash has not yet been collected and include expenses which have not yet been paid for in cash. These noncash revenues and noncash expenses do not affect the cash balance. Therefore, the noncash revenues and noncash expenses must be eliminated to determine the net cash provided by operating activities. S-A E 215 Cash flows from operating activities can be calculated using the indirect or direct method. Briefly describe how the two methods differ yet arrive at the same information about the net cash flows from operating activities. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting
Solution 215 The indirect method (or reconciliation method) starts with net income and converts it to the net cash provided by operating activities. There are two types of adjustments: (1) changes in current assets and current liabilities and (2) noncash charges and credits. For example, an increase in accounts receivable is deducted from net income and an increase in accounts payable is added to net income. Similarly, a noncash charge for depreciation expense is added to net income. The adjustments are the difference between net income and the net cash provided by operating activities. Under the direct method, net cash provided by operating activities is computed by adjusting each item in the income statement from the accrual to the cash basis. Within the operating activities section, only major classes of operating cash receipts and cash payments are reported. The classes include cash receipts from customers and cash payments to suppliers. The difference between these major classes is the net cash provided by operating activities. S-A E 216 How is it possible for a company to suffer a net loss for a given year, yet produce a positive net cash flow from operating activities? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: C, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 3, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 216 A net loss means that accrual-based expenses exceeded accrual-based revenues for the period. However, if you eliminate the effect of (add back) such noncash expenses as depreciation and amortization, it is possible to have produced a positive net cash flow from operations. Increasing payables (not paying all expenses incurred this period) and decreasing receivables (collecting more receivables than sales) this period would also cause cash flow to be higher than related net income or loss.

Statement of Cash Flows
17 - 65
S-A E 217 (Ethics) Sact Creek Company's most recent financial statements showed dismal performance. There was a net loss of $10,000 and the statement of cash flows showed a net cash decrease in all categories. The company president called all the managers together and asked them to do all they could to make sure the next quarter's performance was better. Ted Flay, manager of the manufacturing division, sold off old manufacturing equipment. He also reclassified several workers to part time (30 hours per week) and hired additional temporary workers to take up the slack. This saved the company money, since part-time workers do not have the same insurance and other benefits as full-time workers. Will Smith, financial manager, immediately suspended payments on all accounts except those on which interest would accrue. He also instituted aggressive collection procedures. Required: 1. Were Ted Flay's actions ethical? Explain. 2. Were Will Smith's actions ethical? Explain. 3. Were the company president's actions ethical? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: C, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 8, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 217 1. There is a valid question as to whether Ted Flay's actions are ethical or not. Either answer could be considered correct. On the one hand, he was probably within his legal rights to reclassify the workers. He also might be commended for allowing more workers to have a job than was previously the case. On the other hand, however, he has removed a very real benefit from the former full-time workers, and he has done it fairly arbitrarily. He may have harmed morale, and harmed the company if the workers quit and new workers have to be hired. 2. Will Smith's actions all appear to be ethical. 3. The company president may have placed undue pressure on the employees to show better results. The managers may feel that they need to sacrifice the long-term goals of the firm for short-term benefits. S-A E 218
(Communication)
You are the accountant for a small manufacturing firm. Your company is privately held, so there is no current requirement to issue financial statements using GAAP. You were hired four years ago, and at that time you instituted a cash budgeting system. Presently, you present a schedule of predicted cash sources and cash needs at the end of each week for the following week. Jim Bangon, the company's president, has asked whether a statement of cash flows would also be useful. Required: Prepare a short memorandum to the president indicating whether you believe such an addition to the financial statements to be useful. Include in your memo the benefits that might be expected from a statement of cash flows and whether those are different from the benefits of a cash sources and cash needs listing.

FROM: Jude Nen RE:
Statement of Cash Flows vs. Cash Sources and Needs
You asked whether a Statement of Cash Flows would be useful, in addition to the Cash Sources and Needs statement. In my opinion, the statement of cash flows would be extremely useful. It gives different information than the Cash Sources and Needs does. A Statement of Cash Flows would provide historical information about where we got the funds for operating, financing, and investing activities, as well as how we used the funds. It is a summary of our performance. The Cash Sources and Needs statement, on the other hand, is a prediction of the cash we will need and the source from which it will be obtained. One is our plan, the other is our result. Please let me know if you'd like more details about the Statement of Cash Flows. (signed)

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Apply horizontal and vertical analysis to financial statements. There are three bases of comparison: (1) Intracompany, which compares an item or financial relationship with other data within a company. (2) Industry, which compares company data with industry averages. (3) Intercompany, which compares an item or financial relationship of a company with data of one or more competing companies. Horizontal analysis is a technique for evaluating a series of data over a period of time to determine the increase or decrease that has taken place, expressed as either an amount or a percentage. Vertical analysis is a technique that expresses each item within a financial statement in terms of a percentage of a relevant total or a base amount. 2. Analyze a company’s performance using ratio analysis. The formula and purpose of each ratio is presented in Illustration 14–27. 3. Apply the concept of sustainable income. Earning power refers to a company’s ability to sustain its profits from operations. “Irregular items”—discontinued operations and extraordinary items—are presented net of tax below income from continuing operations to highlight their unusual nature.

Ex. 178 Ladle Corporation had net income of $2,000,000 in 2015. Using 2016 as the base year, net income decreased by 70% in 2014 and increased by 180% in 2017. Instructions Compute the net income reported by Ladle Corporation for 2016 and 2017. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: AP, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 6, AACSB: Analytic, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Reporting
Solution 178
(6–9 min.)
2016: X ÷ $2,000,000 = 70% X = $2,000,000 × .70 = $1,400,000 The decrease is $1,400,000; therefore net income for 2016 is $600,000. 2017: X ÷ $2,000,000 = 180% X = $2,000,000 × 1.80 X = $3,600,000 The net income for 2017 is $5,600,000 ($2,000,000 + $3,600,000). Ex. 179 The following items were taken from the financial statements of Rug, Inc., over a four-year period: Item Net Sales Cost of Goods Sold Gross Profit
2018 $900,000 580,000 $320,000
2017 $650,000 460,000 $190,000
2016 $600,000 420,000 $180,000
2015 $500,000 400,000 $100,000
Instructions Using horizontal analysis and 2015 as the base year, compute the trend percentages for net sales, cost of goods sold, and gross profit. Explain whether the trends are favorable or unfavorable for each item. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: AN, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 10, AACSB: Analytic, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 179

2016 120% 105% 180%
2015 100% 100% 100%
The trend in net sales is increasing and favorable. The cost of goods sold trend is increasing which could be unfavorable, but the sales are increasing each year at a faster pace than cost of goods sold. This is apparent by examining the gross profit percentages, which show a favorable, increasing trend.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 221 Horizontal and vertical analyses are analytical tools frequently used to analyze financial statements. What type of information or insights can be obtained by using these two techniques? Explain how the output of horizontal analysis and vertical analysis can be compared to industry averages and/or competitive companies. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communcations, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 221 Horizontal analysis allows an analyst to develop a picture of current trends in a company's operations. The analyst can see whether the accounts are increasing or decreasing and how large these changes actually are. Vertical analysis allows an analyst to evaluate financial statement items within a single financial statement. This technique helps the analyst to evaluate the relative size of the financial statement items and how the items relate to the financial statement as a whole. An example would be if current liabilities were a very large percentage of total liabilities and stockholders' equity. Both techniques allow the company to evaluate their performance and position relative to their competitors and their industry as a whole. For example, the company could evaluate its current trend in sales and see how favorably its sales performance compared to the sales performance of other companies in the industry. Another example would be comparing the relative size of longterm liabilities or retained earnings. This would show which companies have taken on a large amount of debt and which companies have invested in themselves.

FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
18 - 76 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition Solution 222 To: Harve Reardon From: Student name Re: Bases of Comparison for Ratio Analysis There are three bases of comparison for ratio analysis. They include: Intra-company: This basis compares a ratio for the current year to the same ratio for one or more prior years. Inter-company: This basis compares a ratio for one company with the same ratio for one or more competing companies. Industry averages: This basis compares a ratio for a company with the industry average for the same ratio. (Signed)
S-A E 223 What do the following classes of ratios measure? (a) (c) Solvency ratios.
Liquidity ratios. (b)
Profitability ratios.
Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communcations, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 223 (a) Liquidity ratios measure the short-term ability of the enterprise to pay its maturing obligations and to meet unexpected needs for cash. (b) Profitability ratios measure the income or operating success of a company for a given period of time. (c) Solvency ratios measure the ability of the company to survive over a long period of time. S-A E 224 (a) What is meant by trading on the equity? (b) How would you determine the profitability of trading on the equity? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communcations, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 224 (a) Trading on the equity means that the company has borrowed money at a lower rate of interest than it is able to earn by using the borrowed money. Simply stated, it is using money supplied by nonowners to increase the return to the owners. (b) A comparison of the return on total assets with the rate of interest paid for borrowed money indicates the profitability of trading on the equity. S-A E 225 Why is it important to report discontinued operations separately from income from continuing operations? Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communcations, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics

Solution 225 Discontinued operations refers to the disposal of a significant component of the business such as the stopping of an entire activity or eliminating a major class of customers. It is important to report discontinued operations separately from continuing operations because the discontinued component will not affect future income statements. S-A E 226
(Ethics)
A trusted employee of Outback Tours was caught in the act of embezzling funds. He confessed to earlier embezzlements, but retracted the confession on the advice of his attorney. Over the course of the most recent quarter, it has been determined that $20,000 was embezzled. Outback Tours has suffered adverse publicity in the recent past because of serious injury to five tourists that occurred during a two week "Winter Wilds Adventure" tour. The company has therefore decided to avoid publicity and has agreed to drop all charges against the embezzling employee. In return, the employee has agreed to a notation of "Terminated—Not to be Rehired" to be appended to his personnel file. Required: 1. Who are the stakeholders in the decision not to prosecute? 2. Was it ethical for the company to decide not to prosecute? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communcations, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 226 1. The stakeholders include • The embezzling employee • The other employees • Company management • Other companies who might hire the embezzling employee 2. The company was certainly within its legal rights not to prosecute the embezzling employee. However, the decision not to prosecute may not be ethical. First, it does not serve public justice. The embezzling employee could find a job elsewhere, and harm someone else financially. Second, to the extent that other employees know of the act and of the decision, morale may be harmed. The decision is also not the best one for the employee. Having never been forced to face the consequences of his dishonest acts, he is not deterred from (and may even feel encouraged to) commit similar acts in the future. The one argument that would support the premise that the decision was ethical is that the public disclosure would cause harm greater than that caused by keeping silent. Even this argument lacks force, because it implies a lack of moral courageousness.

18 - 78 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition S-A E 227 (Communication) Phast Express specializes in the overnight transportation of medical equipment and laboratory specimens. The company has selected the following information from its most recent annual report to be the subject of an immediate press release. • The financial statements are being released. • Net income this year was $2.12 million. Last year's net income had been $2.0 million. • The current ratio has changed to 2:1 from last year's 1.4:1 • The debt/assets ratio has changed to 3:5 from last year's 2:5 • The company expanded its truck fleet substantially by purchasing ten new delivery vans. The company already had twelve delivery vans. • The company is now the largest medical courier in the mid-Atlantic region. Required: Prepare a brief press release incorporating the information above. Include all information. Think carefully which information (if any) is good news for the company, and which (if any) is bad news. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communcations, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 227 Press Release Phast Express released its financial statements today, disclosing a 6% increase in earnings, to $2.12 million from $2 million last year. The company also improved its short-term liquidity. Its current ratio improved to 2:1 from last year's 1.4:1. Part of the improved performance is no doubt due to the addition of ten new delivery vans to its fleet, allowing it to become the largest medical courier in the mid-Atlantic region. The purchase of the vans, however, caused the debt/asset ratio to decline. There are now $3 of debt for every $5 in assets, while last year, there were only $2 of debt to $5 in assets.

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Identify the features of managerial accounting and the functions of management. The primary users of managerial accounting reports, issued as frequently as needed, are internal users, who are officers, department heads, managers, and supervisors in the company. Managerial accounting issues internal reports as frequently as the need arises. The purpose of these reports is to provide special-purpose information for a particular user for a specific decision. The content of managerial accounting reports pertains to subunits of the business. It may be very detailed, and may extend beyond the double-entry accounting system. The reporting standard is relevance to the decision being made. No independent audits are required in managerial accounting. The three functions are planning, directing, and controlling. Planning requires management to look ahead and to establish objectives. Directing involves coordinating the diverse activities and human resources of a company to produce a smooth-running operation. Controlling is the process of keeping the activities on track. 2. Describe the three classes of manufacturing costs and differences between product and period costs. Manufacturing costs are typically classified as either (1) direct materials, (2) direct labor, or (3) manufacturing overhead. Raw materials that can be physically and directly associated with the finished product during the manufacturing process are called direct materials. The work of factory employees that can be physically and directly associated with converting raw materials into finished goods is considered direct labor. Manufacturing overhead consists of costs that are indirectly associated with the manufacture of the finished product. Product costs are costs that are a necessary and integral part of producing the finished product. Product costs are also called inventoriable costs. Under the expense recognition principle, these costs do not become expenses until the company sells the finished goods inventory. Period costs are costs that are identified with a specific time period rather than with a salable product. These costs relate to nonmanufacturing costs and therefore are not inventoriable costs. 3. Demonstrate how to compute cost of goods manufactured and prepare financial statements for a manufacturer. Companies add the cost of the beginning work in process to the total manufacturing costs for the current year to arrive at the total cost of work in process for the year. They then subtract the ending work in process from the total cost of work in process to arrive at the cost of goods manufactured. The difference between a merchandising and a manufacturing income statement is in the cost of goods sold section. A manufacturing cost of goods sold section shows beginning and ending finished goods inventories and the cost of goods manufactured. The difference between a merchandising and a manufacturing balance sheet is in the current assets section. The current assets section of a manufacturing company's balance sheet presents three inventory accounts: finished goods inventory, work in process inventory, and raw materials inventory. 4 Discuss trends in managerial accounting. Managerial accounting has experienced many changes in recent years, including a shift toward service companies as well as emphasis on ethical behavior. Improved practices include a focus on managing the value chain through techniques such as just-in-time inventory, total quality management, activity-based costing,

and theory of constraints. The balanced scorecard is now used by many companies in order to attain a more comprehensive view of the company's operations. Finally, companies are now evaluating their performance with regard to their corporate social responsibility.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 202 Financial and managerial accounting are both concerned with the economic events of an enterprise. Similarities between financial and managerial accounting do exist, but they do have a different focus. Briefly distinguish between financial and managerial accounting as they relate to (1) the primary users, (2) the type and frequency of reports, (3) the purpose of reports, and (4) the content of reports. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 202 Financial accounting is primarily concerned with external users such as stockholders and creditors, while the primary users of managerial accounting are those within the company (internal users) such as officers, managers, supervisors, etc. Quarterly and annual classified financial statements are the end product of financial accounting. Internal reports, prepared as often as needed are the result of managerial accounting. The financial statements produced by financial accounting are general-purpose reports which are highly aggregated, pertain to the enterprise as a whole, and are constrained by generally accepted accounting principles. The internal reports prepared by management accountants are special purpose reports which are detailed, pertain to subunits of the enterprise, and may contain any information relevant to the decision at hand. S-A E 203 Julie Mills is studying for her accounting mid-term examination. Summarize for Julie what she should know about management functions. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Business Economics
19 - 58 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition Solution 203 Julie should know that the management of an organization performs three broad functions: (1) Planning requires management to look ahead and to establish objectives. (2) Directing involves coordinating the diverse activities and human resources of a company to produce a smooth-running operation. (3) Controlling is the process of keeping the company's activities on track. S-A E 204 A manufacturing company makes the products that it sells. Briefly identify and define the cost elements that are incurred in making a product. After product cost elements are identified, how is the cost of goods manufactured for a period determined? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 204 Costs incurred to manufacture a product include direct materials which can be physically and directly associated with the finished product; direct labor, which is the work of factory employees which can be physically and directly associated with the finished product; and manufacturing overhead, those manufacturing costs which are indirectly associated with production of the finished product. Cost of goods manufactured is computed by adding the cost of direct materials used, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead to the beginning work in process, and subtracting the ending work in process. S-A E 205 Kevin Scott is confused about the differences between a product cost and a period cost. Explain the differences to Kevin. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 205 Product costs, or inventoriable costs, are costs that are a necessary and integral part of producing the finished product. Period costs are costs that are identified with a specific time period rather than with a salable product. These costs relate to nonmanufacturing costs and therefore are not inventoriable costs. S-A E 206 Assume you have just taken a position as controller for a new company that manufactures and sells wrought iron wall hangings. Although the founder of the company, who is the president and CEO, is a great artisan, she has very limited knowledge of accounting. Instructions To help your new boss better understand accounting for a manufacturing organization, prepare a response to her in which you: (1) identify, (2) describe, and (3) provide examples of the three manufacturing costs and the three inventory accounts used in accounting for a manufacturing company. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Business Economics
Managerial Accounting
19 - 59
Solution 206 The three manufacturing costs are: direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Raw materials that can be physically and directly associated with the finished product during the manufacturing process are called direct materials. The iron used in making the wall hangings is an example of direct materials. The work of factory employees that can be physically and directly associated with converting raw materials to finished goods is considered direct labor. Manufacturing overhead consists of costs that are indirectly associated with the manufacture of the finished product. These costs may also be manufacturing costs that cannot be classified as direct materials or direct labor. Manufacturing overhead includes indirect materials, indirect labor, and depreciation on factory buildings, and machinery, utilities, insurance, taxes and maintenance on factory facilities. The three inventory accounts are: raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. Raw materials inventory represents the cost of the materials and parts that are to be used in the manufacturing process. The iron purchased to make the wall hangings would be considered raw materials until the time it was put into production. Work in process is the cost applicable to units that have been started into production but are only partially complete. Wall hangings on the assembly line that are in various stages of completion would be work in process. The finished goods inventory represents the cost of completed goods that have not been sold. The cost of wall hangings that are completed but have not been sold would be finished goods. S-A E 207 (Ethics) Million Dollar Mills is a textile manufacturing firm located in the southern United States. The company carefully prepares all financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and gives a copy of all financial statements to each department. In addition, the company keeps records on quality control, safety, and environmental pollution by the company. It then prepares "scorecards" for each department indicating their performance. Recently, the financial impact of the second set of information was added, and the information has been used in the evaluation of employees for merit pay and promotions. At the most recent employee meeting, Tyler Hanes, marketing manager, expressed his discomfort with the system. He said there was no guarantee that the second set of information was fair, since there were no generally accepted principles for this kind of information. He also said that it was kind of like keeping two sets of books—one following all legal requirements, and the other one actually used by the company. Required: 1. Is it ethical to evaluate managers in the way described? Explain briefly. 2. Name at least two safeguards the company could build into its system to ensure the ethical treatment of employees. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Decision Analysis
Solution 207 1. It is ethical for a company to use all available data in order to evaluate managers, and even to collect data not routinely available. In fact, such a method seems preferable to one in which the company may only use specified financial data in its evaluation of a manager's performance. It does not imply a departure from GAAP, nor that the company does not actually use the information prepared according to GAAP. It supplements the standard reports, it does not replace them.
19 - 60 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition Solution 207 (Cont.) 2. The company should make certain that the appropriate information is calculated in the same way each period. All the relevant data should be collected and reported each period. New data should be limited. The qualitative information should be complemented, not replaced, by the regular financial information. S-A E 208 (Communication) Volumetrica, a producer of audio equipment for large computer systems, is reviewing its policies as part of a biannual self-examination of the company. As part of this process, all managers have been asked to carefully examine costs and determine as closely as possible which costs are direct and which are indirect. Linda Bedard and Sam Hilton, managers of different manufacturing departments in the same building, have been working together. They found the following four costs that could be economically traced to the products, but have historically been a part of overhead: •
Cost of setting up the machinery for a different production run.
•
Cost of minor assembly components such as knobs and switches.
•
Cost of packaging, which is quite different for each model.
•
Cost of inspecting and testing each model.
None of the costs is significant by itself, but together these four costs make up between 10 and 15% of the total cost of the product. Linda favors "leaving well enough alone," as she puts it, and leaving these costs in overhead. She is afraid that her volunteering to trace these costs will result in her having to trace many more costs in the future. Sam, on the other hand, prefers to have the product cost as accurate as possible. He points out that these costs are already known, and the process would require little extra work. Required: You have been called on in your function as accounting manager to resolve the dispute. Write a memo to Linda and Sam, supporting one or the other position. Be sure to adequately defend your position, but be brief. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Decision Analysis
Managerial Accounting Solution 208 TO:
Linda Bedard and Sam Hilton
FROM: Nancy West, Accounting Manager RE:
Tracing overhead
I strongly support the tracing of as much of what is now overhead directly to the products as possible (sorry, Linda). Besides giving more accurate product costs now, as Sam says, it will help us considerably in the future. We can evaluate products better, the more we know about which costs they generate. Otherwise, we just assign them some amount of overhead, which may be either more or less than they actually cost. Thank you both for your hard work. It is true, as Linda says, that our reviews will (temporarily) cause us more work (sorry, Sam). However, I think you'll both agree that the benefits of knowing the costs of our products better will make the effort well worthwhile. So, let's start tracing the four costs you mentioned now. Once we have the glitches ironed out, we'll share the results with the other departments. (signed)

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Describe cost systems and the flow of costs in a job order system. Cost accounting involves the procedures for measuring, recording, and reporting product costs. From the data accumulated, companies determine the total cost and the unit cost of each product. The two basic types of cost accounting systems are job order cost and process cost. In job order costing, companies first accumulate manufacturing costs in three accounts: Raw Materials Inventory, Factory Labor, and Manufacturing Overhead. They then assign the accumulated costs to Work in Process Inventory and eventually to Finished Goods Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold. 2. Use a job cost sheet to assign costs to work in process. A job cost sheet is a form used to record the costs chargeable to a specific job and to determine the total and unit costs of the completed job. Job cost sheets constitute the subsidiary ledger for the Work in Process Inventory control account. 3. Demonstrate how to determine and use the predetermined overhead rate. The predetermined overhead rate is based on the relationship between estimated annual overhead costs and expected annual operating activity. This is expressed in terms of a common activity base, such as direct labor cost. Companies use this rate to assign overhead costs to work in process and to specific jobs.

4. Prepare entries for manufacturing and service jobs completed and sold. When jobs are completed, companies debit the cost to Finished Goods Inventory and credit it to Work in Process Inventory. When a job is sold the entries are: (a) debit Cash or Accounts Receivable and credit Sales Revenue for the selling price, and (b) debit Cost of Goods Sold and credit Finished Goods Inventory for the cost of the goods. 5. Distinguish between under- and overapplied manufacturing overhead. Underapplied manufacturing overhead indicates that the overhead assigned to work in process is less than the overhead incurred. Overapplied overhead indicates that the overhead assigned to work in process is greater than the overhead incurred.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 200 (a) Distinguish between the two types of cost accounting systems. (b) May a company use both types of cost accounting systems? Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Applications
Solution 200 (a)
(b)
The two principal types of cost accounting systems are; (1) job order costing and (2) process costing. Under a job order cost system, costs are assigned to each job or batch of goods; at all times each job or batch of goods can be separately identified. A job order cost system measures costs for each completed job, rather than for set time periods. Under a process cost system, product-related costs are accumulated by or assigned to departments or processes for a set period of time. Job order costing lends itself to specific, special-order manufacturing or servicing while process costing is better suited to similar, large-volume products and continuous process manufacturing. A company may use both types of systems. For example, General Motors uses process costing for standard model cars and job order costing for custom-made vehicles.
S-A E 201 A job order cost accounting system is fully integrated into the general ledger of a company. Identify the major general ledger accounts used in a job order cost system. Explain how manufacturing costs flow through these accounts so that inventories may be costed and income determined when goods are sold. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 201 When a job order cost accounting system is fully integrated into the general ledger of a company, the major general ledger accounts used are Raw Materials Inventory, Factory Labor, Manufacturing Overhead, Work in Process Inventory, and Finished Goods Inventory. As manufacturing costs are incurred, they are debited to the Raw Materials Inventory, Factory Labor, and Manufacturing Overhead accounts. As materials are used, labor is assigned, or overhead is applied, the costs are taken out of these accounts and debited to Work in Process Inventory. When jobs are finished, the costs flow from the Work in Process Inventory account to the Finished Goods Inventory account, and when jobs are sold, the costs are transferred to Cost of Goods Sold from Finished Goods Inventory. S-A E 202 Manufacturing overhead items are indirect product costs that cannot be traced to individual products. Explain how manufacturing overhead costs are accumulated and how they are assigned to products in a job order cost system. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Job Order Costing
20 - 63
Solution 202 As manufacturing overhead costs are incurred, they are debited to the Manufacturing Overhead account. As jobs move through the factory, manufacturing overhead costs are applied to specific jobs using the predetermined overhead rate. This rate is computed prior to the beginning of the year by dividing estimated annual overhead costs by expected annual operating activity (generally expressed as direct labor hours, direct labor cost, or machine hours). The overhead is applied by determining how much activity was expended on a particular job (for example, direct labor hours), and applying the rate to that activity. S-A E 203 Mike Hilyer is confused about under and overapplied manufacturing overhead. Define the terms for Mike and indicate the balance in the manufacturing overhead account applicable to each term. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 203 Underapplied overhead means that the overhead assigned to work in process is less than the overhead incurred. Overapplied overhead means than the overhead assigned to work in process is greater than the overhead incurred. Manufacturing overhead will have a debit balance when overhead is underapplied and a credit balance when overhead is overapplied. S-A E 204 (Ethics) People Carrier Systems, Inc. (PCS) modifies vans that seat 15–20 people by adding additional safety features or wheelchair ramps. Most of its customers are cities and counties, who use the vans to transport school children, the elderly, or the handicapped. The company has specialized in a no-frills approach, emphasizing safety, high quality, and low cost. The company's president was quoted as saying, "Let the other guys make a van pretty. We get people where they need to go—faster, better, and cheaper than anybody else." The company obtains jobs by being the lowest bidder in a sealed bidding process. Recently, the company was solicited by a top-10 college to submit a bid for a van to be used by its athletic team. Some specialized items were required, such as the school's logo on the outside of the van, and the vinyl seats had to be covered in school colors. The company submitted a bid, and was very surprised to obtain it. When the job was being prepared, the job manager pointed out that several extra costs could result in this job showing a loss. The boss, an ardent supporter of sports in general and this team in particular, told the manager to just record the standard labor and overhead cost for this job. He says that they could use the preset rate for specialized jobs, and increase the overhead application rate (used in submitting bids) by 5% for future routine jobs. "After all," he says, "nobody else comes close to our price anyway. This could start a whole new line of business for us." Required: 1. Who are the stakeholders in the decision to increase overhead for routine jobs? 2. Is the decision to subsidize special jobs by increasing the overhead rate on routine jobs ethical? Briefly explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
20 - 64 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition Solution 204 1. The stakeholders include: • The employees and managers of PCS • Customers who purchase standard vans • Customers who purchase sports vans • Shareholders of PCS 2. The decision could be considered ethical, if the company clearly understands that it is allowing the customers of the standard vans to cover some of the costs of the specialty ones. This might not be a bad decision, especially if the specialty business is only a small fraction of the total business. The company might be compromising its own best interests, however, if it arbitrarily damages relationships with existing customers in order to gain others. It seems undeniable that established customers are preferable to untested ones. While probably ethical, the decision may not be a good one. S-A E 205 (Communication) Bridal Treasures, Inc. makes customized wedding gowns. The customer selects a pattern for the basic gown, and then selects fabric and trim. Once the design and the materials have been agreed upon, a Statement of Estimated Cost is signed by the company and by the customer. Overhead is applied based on the number of days a gown is in process. Usually, five gowns are being worked on at a time. Therefore, each gown is charged 1/5 of a daily estimated overhead amount. Customer Mary Landon's wedding dress took four days to complete. However, after the first three days had elapsed, Hanna Hunt, a movie personality, suddenly decided to get married, and ordered a very lavish gown. All other work was suspended, and the work on Ms. Landon's dress was delayed six days. The final day of its construction was on the tenth day after it had been begun. Required: You are the accounting manager for Bridal Treasures. Write a memo to the billing department. Instruct them as to the appropriate number of overhead days to charge to Ms. Landon's account. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: None, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Job Order Costing Solution 205 TO:
Billing Department
FROM: M. Long, Accounting Manager RE:
Overhead billing, Landon account
As you know, our standard procedure in billing overhead is to simply multiply our daily overhead rate by the number of days the gown was in our possession. However, for the Landon gown, and any other jobs we suspended for the Hanna Hunt gown, we should not charge for the days the gowns were in our possession but not being worked on. We should adjust the billing for the Hanna Hunt gown, so that it absorbs the full daily cost of overhead, since it actually was the only job worked on during those six days. The Landon job should be charged only four days of overhead. Other suspended jobs should be treated similarly. Please call if you have questions. (signed)

The chapter also contains one set of ten Matching questions and five Short-Answer Essay questions.
CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Discuss the uses of a process cost system and how it compares to a job order system. Companies that mass-produce similar products in a continuous fashion use process cost systems. Once production begins, it continues until the finished product emerges. Each unit of finished product is indistinguishable from every other unit. Job order cost systems are similar to process cost systems in three ways: (1) Both systems track the same cost elements—direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. (2) Both accumulate cost in the same accounts—Raw Materials Inventory, Factory Labor, and Manufacturing Overhead. (3) Both assign accumulated costs to the same accounts—Work in Process, Finished Goods Inventory, and Cost of Goods Sold. However, the method of assigning costs differs significantly. There are four main differences between the two cost systems: (1) A process cost system uses separate accounts for each department or manufacturing process, rather than only one work in process account used in a job order cost system. (2) A process cost system summarizes costs in a production cost report for each department. A job order cost system charges costs to individual jobs and summarizes them in a job cost sheet. (3) Costs are totaled at the end of a time period in a process cost system, but at the completion of a job in a job cost system. (4) A process cost system calculates unit cost as: Total manufacturing costs for the period ÷ Units produced during the period. A job order cost system calculates unit cost as: Total cost per job ÷ Units produced.

Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition
2. Explain the flow of costs in a process cost system and the journal entries to assign manufacturing costs. A process cost system assigns manufacturing costs for raw materials, labor, and overhead to work in process accounts for various departments or manufacturing processes. It transfers the costs of units completed from one department to another as those units move through the manufacturing process. The system transfers the costs of completed work to Finished Goods Inventory. Finally, when inventory is sold, the system transfers costs to Cost of Goods Sold. Entries to assign the costs of raw materials, labor, and overhead consist of a credit to Raw Materials Inventory, Factory Labor, and Manufacturing Overhead, and a debit to Work in Process for each department. Entries to record the cost of good transferred to another department are a credit to Work in Process for the department whose work is finished and a debit to the department to which the goods are transferred. The entry to record units completed and transferred to the warehouse is a credit for the department whose work is finished and a debit to Finished Goods Inventory. The entry to record the sale of goods is a credit to Finished Goods Inventory and a debit to Cost of Goods Sold. 3. Compute equivalent units. Equivalent units of production measure work done during a period, expressed in fully completed units. Companies use this measure to determine the cost per unit of completed product. Equivalent units are the sum of units completed and transferred out plus equivalent units of ending work in process. 4. Complete the four steps to prepare a production cost report. The four steps to complete a production cost report are as follows. (1) Compute the physical unit flow—that is, the total units to be accounted for. (2) Compute the equivalent units of production. (3) Compute the unit production costs, expressed in terms of equivalent units of production. (4) Prepare a cost reconciliation schedule, which shows that the total costs accounted for equal the total costs to be accounted for. The production cost report contains both quantity and cost data for a production department. There are four sections in the report: (1) number of physical units, (2) equivalent units determination, (3) unit costs, and (4) cost reconciliation schedule. 5. Explain just-in-time (JIT) processing and activity-based costing (ABC). JIT is a manufacturing technique dedicated to producing the right products at the right time as needed. One of the principal accounting effects is that a Raw and In-Process Inventory account replaces both the raw materials and work in process inventory accounts. ABC is a method of product costing that focuses on the activities performed to produce products. It assigns the cost of the activities to products by using cost drivers that measure the activities performed. The primary objective of ABC is accurate and meaningful product costs. a
6. Apply activity-based costing to a manufacturer. In applying ABC, it is necessary to compute the overhead rate for each activity by dividing total expected overhead by the total expected usage of the cost driver. The overhead cost for each activity is then assigned to products on the basis of each product’s use of the cost driver.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 196 Why do some companies need a cost accounting system while others do not? What are the determining characteristics or factors that influence the type of cost accounting system that is appropriate for a company? Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Project Management, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 196 Companies need a cost accounting system only if they need to measure, record, and report the costs of manufacturing products. The two basic types of cost accounting systems are job order costing and process costing. A job order cost system is appropriate when production consists of batches of unique products (jobs). A process cost system is used to apply costs to similar products that are mass-produced in a continuous fashion. S-A E 197 The production cost report summarizes the activities that have taken place in a department or process over a period of time. Identify the major types of information found on a production cost report, and indicate who in the business organization uses this type of information and for what purpose the information is used. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting
Solution 197 The types of information found in a production cost report are units to be accounted for and units accounted for, unit costs, and costs to be accounted for and costs accounted for. Production cost reports provide a basis for evaluating the productivity of a department and so are used by production managers. In addition, the cost data can be used by middle management to assess whether unit costs and total costs are reasonable. When the quantity and cost data are compared with predetermined goals, top management can also ascertain whether current performance is meeting planned objectives. Of course, the information in the report is also used for recordkeeping and income determination by the accounting department. S-A E 198 Your roommate is curious about the features of process cost accounting. Identify and explain the distinctive features for your roommate. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Project Management, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 198 The features of process costing are: (1) separate work in process accounts for each process, (2) production cost reports, (3) product costs computed for each accounting period, and (4) unit costs computed based on total manufacturing costs.

FROM: Accounting RE:
JIT and reporting
Congratulations on a job well done, in instituting JIT! You are already realizing many of the benefits of efficient handling of inventory. Another of the benefits you will enjoy is simplified reporting. In the production cost reports you have been provided, there have been separate categories for materials and conversion costs. In some cases, there were several kinds of materials. JIT has allowed us to simplify this, and now there is only one column, for Raw and In Process. You may remember that each category was also adjusted for beginning and ending inventories. Since we no longer will have routine levels of inventory, we will be able to simplify this part of the reporting as well. We will now report only this month's use of materials, for example, and only the costs added to work in process costs this month, and only finished goods completed this period. If adjustments are needed for ending inventories, we will make them at the end of the year as a single adjustment. Please contact the accounting department if you have further questions. (signed)
21 - 64 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition S-A E 200 (Ethics) Dolly's Dream Homes, Inc. manufactures doll houses in a continuous process. Various customizing features and furnishings are added at the end of the process to create the various models that are sold. The basic design and floor plans of all the houses are identical, however. During the most recent month, the lumber used in trimming the houses was inadvertently recorded as direct materials. At month end, when the error was discovered, Susie Rief, the accountant, was told by the accounting manager, Karen Tate, not to bother with correcting the error, because the dollar amount of the error was not "worth it." Susie believes that the dollar amount is not as important as the quality of the reports. She wonders whether she would be committing an unethical act if she were to make the changes anyway, despite her superior's telling her not to. Required: 1. Who are the stakeholders in this situation? 2. Was it unethical for the company to ask that the error not be corrected? Explain briefly. 3. Would it be unethical for Susie to correct the error? Explain briefly. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Professional Demeanor, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 200 1. The stakeholders include: • Susie Rief and Karen Tate • Dolly's Dream Homes • possibly the present customer, or future customers 2. The company was not unethical in asking that the error not be corrected because it was too small in dollar amount to be considered material. In fact, ignoring small errors improves efficiency. 3. Susie would be failing in the obedience due to her superior if she went ahead and corrected the error. Whether it would be a serious fault depends upon how easily the error could be corrected. The superior probably would not care, either way, if the dollar amount is small and the correction procedure is minor. However, just letting the matter drop might be better.

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Explain variable, fixed and mixed costs and the relevant range. Variable costs are costs that vary in total directly and proportionately with changes in the activity index. Fixed costs are costs that remain the same in total regardless of changes in the activity index. The relevant range is the range of activity in which a company expects to operate during a year. It is important in CVP analysis because the behavior of costs is assumed to be linear throughout the relevant range. Mixed costs change in total but not proportionately with changes in the activity level. For purposes of CVP analysis, mixed costs must be classified into their fixed and variable elements. 2. Apply the high-low method to determine the components of mixed costs. Determine the variable costs per unit by dividing the change in total costs at the highest and lowest levels of activity by the difference in activity at those levels. Then, determine fixed costs by subtracting total variable costs from the amount of total costs at either the highest or lowest level of activity. 3. Prepare a CVP income statement to determine contribution margin. The five components of CVP analysis are (1) volume or level of activity, (2) unit selling prices, (3) variable cost per unit, (4) total fixed costs, and (5) sales mix. Contribution margin is the amount of revenue remaining after deducting variable costs. It is identified in a CVP income statement, which classifies costs as variable or fixed. It can be expressed as a total amount, as a per unit amount, or as a ratio.

4. Compute the break-even point using three approaches. The break-even point can be (a) computed from a mathematical equation, (b) computed by using a contribution margin technique, and (c) derived from a CVP graph. 5. Determine the sales required to earn target net income and determine margin of safety. The general formula for required sales is: Required sales = Variable costs + Fixed costs + Target net income. Two other formulas are: Required sales in units = (Fixed costs + Target net income) ÷ Unit contribution margin, and Required sales in dollars = (Fixed costs + Target net income) ÷ Contribution margin ratio. Margin of safety is the difference between actual or expected sales and sales at the break-even point. The formulas for margin of safety are (1) Actual (expected) sales – Break-even sales = Margin of safety in dollars and (2) Margin of safety in dollars ÷ Actual (expected) sales = Margin of safety ratio. 6. Use CVP analysis to respond to changes in the business environment. Management uses CVP analysis, such as calculating the break-even point or determining the sales required to earn target net income, to decide how best to respond to changes in the business environment. a
7. Explain the difference between absorption costing and variable costing. Under absorption costing, fixed manufacturing costs are product costs. Under variable costing, fixed manufacturing costs are period costs.

Sales = Variable cost + Fixed cost + Target net income $100X = $70X + $475,000 + $125,000 $30X = $600,000 X = 20,000 units
Or
Units sold in 2015 =
$475,000 + $125,000 $100 - $70
= 20,000 units
$475,000 + $185,000* $100 - $70 *$125,000 + $60,000 = $185,000
(b) Units sold in 2016 =
(c)
$475,000 + $185,000 X - $70
= 22,000 units
= 20,000 units where X = new selling price
$660,000 = 20,000X – $1,400,000 $2,060,000X = 20,000X X = $103 Ex. 191 Englehart, Inc. reports the following operating results for the month of August: Sales $450,000 (units 5,000); variable costs $280,000; and fixed costs $115,000. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. 1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs. 2. Reduce variable costs to 65% of sales. 3. Reduce fixed costs by $15,000. Instructions Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative.

(6 min.)
(1)
Unit sales price = $450,000 5,000 units = $90 Increase selling price to $99, or ($90 110%). Net income = $495,000 – $280,000 – $115,000 = $100,000.
(2)
Reduce variable costs to 65% of sales. Net income = $450,000 – $292,500 – $115,000 = $42,500.
(3)
Reduce fixed costs to $100,000, or ($115,000 – $15,000). Net income = $450,000 – $280,000 – $100,000 = $70,000.
Alternative 1, increasing selling price, will produce the highest net income. Ex. 192 Kreter, Inc. earned net income of $300,000 last year. This year it wants to earn net income of $450,000. The company's fixed costs are expected to be $300,000, and variable costs are expected to be 70% of sales. Instructions (a) Determine the required sales to meet the target net income of $450,000 using the mathematical equation. (b) Using a CVP income statement format, prove your answer.

Break-even point in dollars: $540,000 ÷ 30% = $1,800,000 Margin of safety in dollars: $2,000,000 – $1,800,000 = $200,000 Margin of safety ratio: $200,000 ÷ $2,000,000 = 10% Ex. 194 Malone Company had sales in 2014 of $1,600,000 on 80,000 units. Variable costs totaled $960,000, and fixed costs totaled $400,000. A new raw material is available that will decrease the variable costs per unit by 20% (or $2.40). However, to process the new raw material, fixed operating costs will increase by $40,000. Management feels that one-half of the decline in the variable costs per unit should be passed on to customers in the form of a sales price reduction. The marketing department expects that this sales price reduction will result in a 5% increase in the number of units sold.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 209 A cost-volume-profit graph is frequently used in business meetings because it presents a picture of cost relationships within a company. Briefly describe the type of information and data that you would need in order to prepare a CVP graph. After a CVP graph is prepared, what are the major points that could be made from the graph that would be of interest to management? Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 209 To begin constructing a CVP graph, information is needed concerning the maximum estimated level of sales units and the unit sales price. This is necessary to create the axes and also to plot the total revenue line from the origin. In addition, the costs must be broken down into fixed and variable components in order to plot both the fixed cost line and the total cost line. Using a CVP graph, management can readily identify the break-even point and can see how much profit or loss would result from varying levels of sales. The graph also makes it easy to portray the effects of any changes such as costs or selling prices. S-A E 210 A CVP income statement is frequently prepared for internal use by management. Describe the features of the CVP income statement that make it more useful for management decision-making than the traditional income statement that is prepared for external users. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 210 Several features of the CVP income statement make it more useful for internal decision-making. The CVP income statement classifies costs as either fixed or variable, rather than by function. Being able to identify the behavior of costs in this manner can aid management in controlling those costs. Also, the CVP income statement shows the contribution margin, rather than a gross profit. This helps management establish the extent to which their sales are able to cover their fixed costs, and to analyze the impact on net income of changes in sales or costs. S-A E 211 (a) (b)
Matt Sampson asks your help in understanding the term "activity index." Explain the meaning and importance of this term for Matt. State the two ways that variable costs may be defined.
Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 211 (a)
The activity index identifies the activity that causes changes in the behavior of costs. Once the index is determined, it is possible to classify the behavior of costs in response to changes in activity levels into three categories: variable, fixed, or mixed.
(b)
Variable costs may be defined in total or on a per-unit basis. Variable costs in total vary directly and proportionately with changes in the activity level. Variable costs per unit remain the same at every level of activity. FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
22 - 60 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition S-A E 212 How should mixed costs be classified in CVP analysis? What approach is used to effect the appropriate classification? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 212 For CVP analysis, mixed costs must be classified into their fixed and variable elements. One approach to the classification of mixed costs is the high-low method. S-A E 213 (Ethics) Hanson, Inc. requires its marketing managers to submit estimated cost-volume-profit data on all requests for new products, or expansions of a product line. Nancy Stephens is a new manager. Her calculations show a fixed cost for a new project at $100,000 and a variable cost of $5. Since the selling price is only $15 for the proposed product, 10,000 units would need to be sold to break even. That is approximately twice the volume estimate for the first year. She shares her dismay with Patti Patterson, another manager. Patti strongly advises her to revise her estimates. She points out that several of the costs that had been classified as fixed costs could be considered variable, since they are step costs and mixed costs. When the data has been revised classifying those costs as variable costs, the project appears viable. Required: 1. Who are the stakeholders in this decision? 2. Is it ethical for Nancy to revise the costs as indicated? Briefly explain. 3. What should Nancy do? Ans: N/A, LO: 1, 2, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory Perspective, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Professional Demeanor, IMA: Decision Analysis
Solution 213 1. The stakeholders include: Nancy Stephens Hanson, Inc. Hanson’s customers 2. It is ethical to revise the costs, certainly. The only problem that exists is the failure to account for the fixed cost component of the step and mixed costs. At low volume levels, such as those anticipated for this project, the project is likely to be less profitable than forecast. To the extent that Nancy is submitting misleading figures in order to get her project approved, she is behaving unethically. 3. Nancy should try to make the forecasts as accurate as possible by making a better determination of cost behavior. If that is not possible within the time she has, she should submit both sets of figures, and let the selection committee make its determination.

For two years, Annette Larson has been the manager of the production department of a company manufacturing toys made of plastic-coated cardboard. One of the toys is a paper doll, whose "clothes" are made of acetate, and stay on the doll with static electricity. The company's sales were mainly to large educational institutions until last year, when the dolls were sold for the first time to a large discount retailer. The dolls were sold out immediately, and enough orders were received to keep the department at full capacity for the immediate future. The fixed costs for the department are $50,000, with $1 per unit variable costs. A paper doll and one set of clothes sell for $3. The maximum volume is 80,000 units. With the increased volume, Ms. Larson is considering two options to improve profitability. One would reduce variable costs to $0.75, and the other would reduce fixed costs to $35,000. Required: Given the fact that sales are increasing, make a short (one paragraph) recommendation to Ms. Larson about which option she should choose. Support your recommendation with a calculation showing her how profitability will change with each option. Ans: N/A, SO: 1, Bloom: S, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Quantitative Methods
Solution 214 The variable costs should be reduced to $0.75 per unit in order to ensure maximum profitability of the paper doll product line. The calculations are as follows: Current Profit = ($3 × 80,000) – ($1 × 80,000) – $50,000 = $240,000 – $80,000 – $50,000 = $110,000 Plan #1: Reduce Variable Costs to $0.75 Profit = ($3 × 80,000) – ($0.75 × 80,000) – $50,000 = $240,000 – $60,000 – $50,000 = $130,000 Plan #2: Reduce Fixed Costs to $35,000 Profit = ($3 × 80,000) – ($1 × 80,000) – $35,000 = $240,000 – $80,000 – $35,000 = $125,000

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. State the essentials of effective budgeting and components of the master budget. The primary benefits of budgeting are that it (a) requires management to plan ahead, (b) provides definite objectives for evaluating performance, (c) creates an early warning system for potential problems, (d) facilitates coordination of activities, (e) results in greater management awareness, and (f) motivates personnel to meet planned objectives. The essentials of effective budgeting are (a) sound organizational structure, (b) research and analysis, and (c) acceptance by all levels of management. The master budget consists of the following budgets: (a) sales, (b) production, (c) direct materials, (d) direct labor, (e) manufacturing overhead, (f) selling and administrative expense, (g) budgeted income statement, (h) capital expenditure budget, (i) cash budget, and (j) budgeted balance sheet. 2. Prepare budgets for sales, production, and direct materials. The sales budget is derived from sales forecasts, The production budget starts with budgeted sales units, adds desired ending finished goods inventory, and subtracts beginning finished goods inventory to arrive at the required number of production units. The direct materials budget starts with the direct materials units (e.g., pounds) required for budgeted production, adds desired ending direct materials units, and subtracts beginning direct materials units to arrive at required direct materials units to be purchased. This amount is multiplied by the direct materials cost (e.g., cost per pound) to arrive at the total cost of direct materials purchases. 3. Prepare budgets for direct labor, manufacturing overhead, and selling and administrative expenses, and a budgeted Income statement. The direct labor budget starts with the units to be produced as determined in the production budget. This amount is multiplied by the direct labor hours per unit and the direct labor cost per hour to arrive at the total direct labor cost. The manufacturing overhead budget lists all of the individual types of FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

overhead costs, distinguishing between fixed and variable costs. The selling and administrative expenses budget lists all of the individual types of selling and administrative expense items, distinguishing between fixed and variable costs. The budgeted income statement is prepared from the various operating budgets. Cost of goods sold is determined by calculating the budgeted cost to produce one unit, then multiplying this amount by the number of units sold. 4. Prepare a cash budget and a budgeted balance sheet. The cash budget has three sections (receipts, disbursements, and financing) and the beginning and ending cash balances. Receipts and payments sections are determined after preparing separate schedules for collections from customers and payments to suppliers. The budgeted balance sheet Is developed from the budgeted balance sheet from the preceding year and the various budgets for the current year. 5. Apply budgeting principles to nonmanufacturing companies. Budgeting may be used by merchandisers for development of a merchandise purchases budget. In service companies budgeting is a critical factor in coordinating staff needs with anticipated services. In not-forprofit organizations, the starting point in budgeting is usually expenditures, not receipts.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 209 (a) What is a budget? (b) How does a budget contribute to good management? Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Budget Preparation
Solution 209 (a) A budget is a formal written statement of management's plans for a specified future time period, expressed in financial terms. (b) A budget aids management in planning because it represents the primary means of communicating agreed-upon objectives throughout the organization. Once adopted, a budget becomes an important basis for evaluating performance. S-A E 210 Budgeting can be an important management tool if implemented properly. Identify several positive results when budgets are used properly. Since budgets affect people, identify several negative aspects if budgets are not implemented properly. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Budget Preparation
Solution 210 When budgets are used properly, positive results can include: managers are required to plan ahead, there are definite objectives for performance evaluation, there is an early warning system for potential problems, there is coordination of activities within the business, there is greater management awareness of the entity's overall operations, and there are positive behavior patterns by motivating personnel to meet planned objectives. However, if budgets are not implemented properly, negative results can include discouragement of additional effort to meet goals, poor morale of managers, and lack of commitment to budget goals.

S-A E 211 Budgeting and long-range planning are both important aids to management in achieving a company's goals and objectives. Briefly distinguish between budgeting and long-range planning and indicate how they help managers perform their functions. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Budget Preparation
Solution 211 Budgeting is preparing a detailed formal written summary of management's plans for a specified future time period (usually one year), in financial terms. Long-range planning involves the selection of strategies to achieve long-term (at least five years) goals and the development of policies and plans to implement the strategies. Budgeting and long-range planning differ in time periods involved, emphasis, and the amount of detail presented. Budgets help managers in planning and controlling operations for the coming year, while long-range planning assists managers in broad long-term goal-setting, policy development, and planning. S-A E 212 What is participative budgeting? What are its potential benefits? What are its potential shortcomings? Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Budget Preparation
Solution 212 Participative budgeting involves the use of a "bottom to top" approach, which requires input from lower level management during the budgeting process so as to involve employees from various levels and areas within the company. The potential benefits of this approach are lower level managers have more detailed knowledge of the specifics of their job, and thus should be able to provide better budgetary estimates. In addition, by involving lower level managers in the process, it is more likely that they will perceive the budget as being fair and reasonable. One disadvantage of participative budgeting is that it takes more time, and thus costs more. Another disadvantage of participative budgeting is that it may enable managers to game the system through such practices as budgetary slack. S-A E 213 (Ethics) Ashley Finn is a new production manager. After a great deal of effort, including considerable market research, she completes her budget and submits it to her boss, Keith Payne. Without even looking at it, he asks her what her "fudge factor" was, and which items contained the most slack. Ashley, very surprised, responds that she doesn't use any "fudge factor," and that all her figures are honest. Mr. Payne counters by asking her how she would respond if she had to cut about 20% from her budget, as it is. He tells her that most budgets are trimmed in committee, and she had better be ready. He returns the budget to her, and tells her to come back with something reasonable. Required: 1. Is it ethical to build slack into a budget? Explain. 2. Was it ethical for Mr. Payne to refuse to accept a budget without slack? Briefly explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Budget Preparation
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
23 - 64 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition Solution 213 1. Either answer may be correct. Slack may be seen as an estimate of how much the actual results may vary from the predictions. As such, it is perfectly legitimate to add some slack, as in this case. On the other hand, it is certainly possible that a great deal of padding may be added to a budget, with the manager preparing the budget hoping that the amount to be trimmed will not exceed the amount of the padding. The decision as to whether the addition of slack is unethical depends upon whether budgeting guidelines are followed. Any secretive method of adding padding to one's own budget would be unethical. 2. As Ashley Finn's superior, Mr. Payne has the obligation to correct her mistakes. Apparently, in this particular company, budgets are trimmed in committee, with the expectation that all budgets contain some expenses that could be removed without harm to the company. Ashley must continue to be honest. One way to do that would be for Ashley to submit her trimmed budget, and then note the costs that are most likely to exceed the budget, and by how much. This would give Mr. Payne the ability to intelligently defend her budget while in committee. S-A E 214 (Communication) At Boulder Industries, budgets are the responsibility of everyone. Each department collaborates in determining its expected needs, and sales personnel determine the likely sales volume. Bart Gray, one of the production managers, believes in building plenty of slack into everything, including his estimates of ending inventory of work in process. Required: You are the accounting manager. Write a memo to Mr. Gray. Explain why the ending inventory figure should be extremely accurate, with as little slack as possible. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, 2, Bloom: C, Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Budget Preparation
Solution 214 TO: Bart Gray FROM: Julie Jase SUBJECT: Budgets At our last budget meeting, you mentioned that you put plenty of slack into all your budgets, so that you could better survive budget reductions. You remember that I specifically asked about your ending inventory estimates, and you said that those had plenty of slack as well. Please reconsider adding slack to the ending inventory estimates. Those estimates are used by all other departments in calculating their budgets. In other words, they rely on your figures being accurate. If you estimate much too high for inventory, the other departments will experience stockouts, as they will have counted on your having more goods ready than you will be able to produce. If, as is more likely, you understate the number of units you will have on hand, we will experience increased storage costs and related spoilage. We will also have spent money to produce more units than the next department can use. I understand your desire to ensure that your budgets are reasonable. However, I am sure also that you see that we depend upon your inventory numbers. Please make sure that these numbers are as precise as possible. (signed)

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Describe budgetary control and static budget reports. Budgetary control consists of (a) preparing periodic budget reports that compare actual results with planned objectives, (b) analyzing the differences to determine their causes, (c) taking appropriate corrective action, and (d) modifying future plans, if necessary. Static budget reports are useful in evaluating the progress toward planned sales and profit goals. They are also appropriate in assessing a manager’s effectiveness in controlling costs when (a) actual activity closely approximates the master budget activity level, and/or (b) the behavior of the costs in response to changes in activity is fixed. 2. Prepare flexible budget reports. To develop the flexible budget, it is necessary to: (a) Identify the activity index and the relevant range of activity. (b) Identify the variable costs, and determine the budgeted variable cost per unit of activity for each cost. (c) Identify the fixed costs, and determine the budgeted amount for each cost. (d) Prepare the budget for selected increments of activity within the relevant range. Flexible budget reports permit an evaluation of a manager’s performance in controlling production and costs. 3. Apply responsibility accounting to cost and profit centers. Responsibility accounting involves accumulating and reporting revenues and costs on the basis of the individual manager who has the authority to make the day-to-day decisions about the items. The evaluation of a manager’s performance is based on the matters directly under the manager’s control. In responsibility accounting, it is necessary to distinguish between controllable and noncontrollable fixed costs and to identify three types of responsibility centers: cost, profit, and investment.

Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition
Responsibility reports for cost centers compare actual costs with flexible budget data. The reports show only controllable costs, and no distinction is made between variable and fixed costs. Responsibility reports show contribution margin, controllable fixed costs, and controllable margin for each profit center. 4. Evaluate performance in investment centers. The primary basis for evaluating performance in investment centers is return on investment (ROI). The formula for computing ROI for investment centers is Controllable margin ÷ Average operating assets.

Current ROI = $300,000 ÷ $1,000,000 = 30% ROI of new project = $72,000 ÷ $360,000 = 20% New ROI with project = [$300,000 + $72,000] ÷ [$1,000,000 + $360,000] = 27.4% While ROI decreases, that does not make this a bad investment, since many projects cause total ROI to fall even though they increase value of the division. The determination is based on how the ROI of the project compares to the required rate of return. The company is not willing to accept any projects with an investment less than 15%, so the 20% project should be accepted. BE 169 An investment center manager is considering three possible investments. The company’s required return is 10%.

Segment performance is measured using a system of responsibility reports and return on investment calculations. The allocation of resources within the company and the segment managers’ bonuses are based in part on the results shown in these reports. Recently, the company was the victim of a computer virus that deleted portions of the company’s accounting records.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 208 The master budget and flexible budgets are important aids to management in performing the management functions of planning and control. Briefly describe how planning and control are facilitated by preparing a master budget and flexible budgets. How are these two types of budgets interrelated with planning and control? Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Strategic/Critical Thinking, AICPA FN: None, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Budget Preparation
Solution 208 The system of responsibility reporting begins with the lowest level of responsibility and moves up through each level. At the lowest level each manager receives detailed information concerning the controllable costs for which they are responsible. At higher levels of responsibility the detail of the lower levels may be omitted but the report encompasses all the areas for which the higher level has responsibility. For example, a plant manager will receive reports concerning the controllable costs of each of the plant departments. Management by exception is possible in such a system because, if management at the higher levels of responsibility identifies a significant variance, they can receive detailed reports for each lower level of responsibility. This allows management to investigate causes and remedies for variances as they feel necessary. S-A E 209 Brad Ventura is confused about how a flexible budget is prepared. Identify the steps for Brad. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Strategic/Critical Thinking, AICPA FN: None, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Budget Preparation
Solution 209 The steps in preparing a flexible budget are: (1) Identify the activity index and the relevant range of activity. (2) Identify the variable costs and determine the budgeted variable cost per unit of activity for each cost. (3) Identify the fixed costs and determine the budgeted amount for each cost. (4) Prepare the budget for selected increments of activity within the relevant range. S-A E 210 Managers are motivated to accomplish objectives if they feel that their efforts will be fairly evaluated. Explain why an organization may use different bases for evaluating the performance of managers of different types of responsibility centers.

Budgetary Planning and Responsibility Accounting
24 - 59
Solution 210 Because a manager should only be evaluated based on the performance results of matters that are controllable by the manager, it is necessary to use different bases for evaluation. An investment center manager can control the investment funds available as well as costs and revenues. Return on investment is therefore an appropriate basis for evaluation. A profit center, however, controls only revenues and expenses but not investment, so controllable margin is a more appropriate basis relating only to the areas controllable by the profit center. Similarly, because only costs are controllable for a cost center, such a center is evaluated only on the basis of its controllable costs. S-A E 211 What is responsibility accounting? Explain the purpose of responsibility accounting. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Strategic/Critical Thinking, AICPA FN: None, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Budget Preparation
Solution 211 Responsibility accounting is a method of controlling operations that involves accumulating and reporting costs (and revenues, where relevant) on the basis of the manager who has the authority to make the day-to-day decisions about the items. The purpose of responsibility accounting is to evaluate a manager’s performance on the basis of matters directly under that manager’s control. S-A E 212 (Ethics) Dixon Corporation evaluates its managers based on return on investment (ROI). Kathryn Bricker and Lindsey Allan, managers of the electronics and housewares departments respectively, have recently suffered from declining profits in their departments. Over lunch, they discuss the problem, and how they could improve performance. Most of the discussion centers around ways to increase sales. Near the end of the lunch period, however, Lindsey remarks that there are two components to consider, and that they have considered only one. She wonders whether there is some way to reduce investment, and by decreasing the denominator of the ROI fraction, to improve the final result. Back at work, Kathryn continues to mull over Lindsey’s remarks. She decides to pursue the matter further, and before the end of the quarter she has sold quite a bit of older equipment and replaced it with equipment obtained with a short-term lease. Her performance, measured by ROI, is markedly improved, although sales continue to be disappointing. Required: 1. Who are the stakeholders in this situation? 2. Is Kathryn’s action ethical? Briefly explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Strategic/Critical Thinking, AICPA FN: None, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Budget Preparation
Solution 212 1. The stakeholders include Kathryn Bricker Lindsey Allan managers of Dixon Corporation shareholders of Dixon Corporation
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
24 - 60 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition S-A E 212 (Cont.) 2. Kathryn’s action is probably not ethical. It appears that she has replaced equipment that had been purchased only because such a move would improve her ROI. Of course, it is possible that the leased equipment will allow her department to function better, resulting in a benefit for the company. Any action to promote one’s own benefit at the expense of the company’s welfare is unethical. S-A E 213 (Communication) Eiger Manufacturing manufactures circuit boards for computer-controlled appliances for the home. The sales have been very volatile, sometimes stressing the plant’s capacity, and sometimes depressingly slow. During a recent slow period, Nathan Jones, a production supervisor, complained to Janet Smith, accounting manager, about the flexible budget. “I try as hard as I can to meet the budget,” he says, “and then I find out that just meeting the budget’s not good enough. Last month, when we sold 8,000 units, I was $10,000 under my budget, and then you all blow me out of the water with your report that I actually was $5,000 over, because sales were slow. I thought this responsibility accounting business was supposed to mean we are held accountable just for things we can control. How do we control sales? At the beginning of the year, you gave us all targets. Mine says that for an average month of 10,000 unit sales, I should spend about $82,000. I spend less, and get an unfavorable budget report. What gives?” Required: Write a short memo to respond to Mr. Jones. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Strategic/Critical Thinking, AICPA FN: None, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Budget Preparation
Solution 213 TO:
Nathan Jones
FROM: Janet Smith RE:
Budget results
I appreciate your coming to me with your questions about the budget. I understand that the new procedures can be frustrating, especially when you receive an unfavorable report that you were not expecting. Actually, the flexible budget does mean that you are held accountable only for the costs that you can control. Last month, we calculated the cost of producing 8,000 units that were actually sold (and not the 10,000 that were estimated to be sold). Your costs were greater than that, although still less than the amount you would have been allowed had the full 10,000 been sold. Please check the individual items on your budget report. We noted which ones exceeded the budget. You can then focus attention on those items for cost control. Please contact the Accounting Department if you have further questions. (signed)

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Describe standard costs. Both standards and budgets are predetermined costs. The primary difference is that a standard is a unit amount, whereas a budget is a total amount. A standard may be regarded as the budgeted cost per unit of product. Standard costs offer a number of advantages. They (a) facilitate management planning, (b) promote greater economy (c) are useful in setting selling prices, (d) contribute to management control, (e) permit “management by exception,” and (f) simplify the costing of inventories and reduce clerical costs. The direct materials price standard should be based on the delivered cost of raw materials plus an allowance for receiving and handling. The direct materials quantity standard should establish the required quantity plus an allowance for waste and spoilage. The direct labor price standard should be based on current wage rates and anticipated adjustments such as COLAs. It also generally includes payroll taxes and fringe benefits. Direct labor quantity standards should be based on required production time plus an allowance for rest periods, cleanup, machine setup, and machine downtime. For manufacturing overhead, a standard predetermined overhead rate is used. It is based on an expected standard activity index such as standard direct labor hours or standard machine hours. 2. Determine direct materials variances. The formulas for direct materials variances are as follows: (Actual quantity × Actual price) – (Standard quantity × Standard price) = Total materials variance (Actual quantity × Actual price) – (Actual quantity × Standard price) = Materials price variance (Actual quantity × Standard price) – (Standard quantity × Standard price) = Materials quantity variance
3. Determine direct labor and total manufacturing overhead variances. The formulas for the direct labor variances are as follows: (Actual hours × Actual rate) – (Standard hours × Standard rate) = Total labor variance (Actual hours × Actual rate) – (Actual hours × Standard rate) = Labor price variance (Actual hours × Standard rate) – (Standard hours × Standard rate) = Labor quantity variance
The formula for the total manufacturing overhead variance is: (Actual overhead) – (Overhead applied at standard hours allowed) = Total overhead variance
4. Prepare variance reports and balanced scorecards. Variances are reported to management in variance reports. The reports facilitate management by exception by highlighting significant differences. Under a standard costing system, an income statement prepared for management will report cost of goods sold at standard cost and then disclose each variance separately, The balanced scorecard incorporates financial and nonfinancial measures in an integrated system that links performance measurement and a company’s strategic goals. It employs four perspectives: financial, customer, internal processes, and learning and growth. Objectives are set within each of these perspectives that link to objectives within the other perspectives. a
5. Identify the features of a standard cost accounting system. In a standard cost accounting system, companies journalize and post standard costs, and they maintain separate variance accounts in the ledger.
a
6. Compute overhead controllable and volume variances. The total overhead variance is generally analyzed through a price variance and a quantity variance. The name usually given to the price variance is the overhead controllable variance. The quantity variance is referred to as the overhead volume variance. FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 240 (a) Explain the similarities and differences between standards and budgets. (b) Contrast the accounting for standard and budgets. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Cost Management
Solution 240 (a) Standards and budgets are similar in that both are predetermined costs and both contribute significantly to management planning and control. The two terms differ in that a standard is a unit amount and a budget is a total amount. (b)
There are important accounting differences between budgets and standards. Except in the application of manufacturing overhead to jobs and processes, budget data are not journalized in cost accounting systems. In contrast, standard costs may be incorporated into cost accounting systems. It is possible for a company to report inventories at standard costs in its financial statements, but it is not possible to report inventories at budgeted costs.
S-A E 241 Star Industries computes variances as a basis for evaluating the performance of managers responsible for controlling costs. For several months, the labor quantity variance has been unfavorable. Briefly explain what could be causing the unfavorable labor quantity variance and indicate what type of corrective action, if any, might be taken. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Cost Management
Solution 241 Since labor quantity variances relate to the efficiency of labor, the cause of an unfavorable variance could be poor training, poor maintenance of machinery, fatigue, carelessness, or similar problems that affect efficiency. The management of Star Company would need to identify the likely causes of the variance and correct the situation with additional training, improved maintenance, better scheduling or similar appropriate actions.

S-A E 242 In reviewing the activities of the Mixing Department for the month of June, the manager of the department notices that there was an unfavorable materials price variance for the month and there was an unfavorable materials quantity variance. Under what circumstances, if any, can the responsibility for each variance be placed on (a) the purchasing department and (b) the production department? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Cost Management
Solution 242 (a)
Purchasing department. The investigation of a materials price variance usually begins with this department. If the price standard has been properly set, purchasing is responsible. However, it should be recognized that in a period of inflation, prices may rise faster than expected. Also, there may be extenuating circumstances such as oil cartel price increases. The purchasing department may be responsible for an unfavorable quantity variance if it purchased raw materials of inferior quality.
(b)
Production department. Ordinarily, responsibility for an unfavorable quantity variance rests with this department. For example, production is responsible if the variance is caused by inexperienced workers, faulty machinery, or carelessness. The production department may be responsible for an unfavorable price variance when the materials must be ordered on a rush basis at a higher price than planned.
S-A E 243 What are the four perspectives used in the balanced scorecard? Discuss the nature of each, and how the perspectives are linked. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Cost Management
Solution 243 The four perspectives of the balanced scorecard are: financial, customer, internal process, and learning and growth. The financial perspective employs financial measures of performance used by most firms. The customer perspective evaluates the company from the viewpoint of those people who buy its products or services in terms of price, quality, product innovation, customer service, and other dimensions. The internal process perspective evaluates the value chain— product development, production, delivery and after-sale service—to ensure that the company is operating effectively and efficiently. The learning and growth perspective evaluates how well the company develops and retains its employees. The four perspectives are linked in that the results in one perspective influence the results in the next. S-A E 244 (Ethics) Fulmar Manufacturing Co. is the manufacturer of miniature models, especially of automobiles with historical interest. The company is developing new standard costs. Patrick Webb suggests that the new standards for materials should not include any waste for liquid plastics that spill out of the molds. "After all," he says, "we're trying to be a world class company. When we build in waste, we tell the workers it's okay to waste some." Sharon Berry, another manager, disagrees. "If we don't allow for some normal human error," she says, "we'll have a mighty unhappy work force. Also, I think that these kinds of perfection standards exploit the workers. I certainly wouldn't want to be held up to perfection every day—what could I do but fail?" FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
25 - 70 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition S-A E 244 (Cont.) The argument continued. Finally, the standards were prepared. All standards were prepared according to normal expected performance, except that for materials, an ideal standard was used. Sharon, still maintaining the unfairness of the system, refused to hold her workers accountable for materials quantity variances. Required: 1. Are ideal standards unethical? Explain briefly. 2. Is it unethical for Sharon to refuse to support the standards? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Cost Management
Solution 244 1. Ideal standards are not necessarily unethical. They may be used unethically, such as in the case in which employees are denied bonuses or other rewards because of not meeting a standard which was out of their reach. If they are used as a guide to maximum attainable performance, however, and not tied directly to the reward system, they may be ethical. 2. It is unethical for Sharon simply to refuse to accept a particular standard. However, if the company intends to use the standard unethically, she may refuse to hold her workers accountable while she pursues a permanent disposition of the matter. If she simply refuses to accept it, she may be indirectly sabotaging the company by hindering it from accomplishing its legitimate objectives. This would be unethical. S-A E 245 (Communication) Vincent Bassani has come to the accounting department for help in interpreting his variance report. He says that he understands that last month was not a very good one for output, but he really thought everyone put forth good effort, so he is confused about the existence of an unfavorable labor efficiency variance. He cites as an example of the workers' effort their willingness to work extra hours to get full output, even when a whole week's worth of production had to be scrapped. He knew that his materials costs would be higher, and that overtime would make his rate variance unfavorable, but he certainly didn't think his workers had been inefficient. Required: Write a short note to Vincent explaining the probable cause of the unfavorable labor efficiency variance.

Standard Costs and Balanced Scorecard Solution 245
Vincent, Last month was a tough one for all of us, wasn't it? Your workers certainly did go the extra mile, no doubt about it. You asked about your efficiency variance. When we calculate it, we count the number of hours it took to get good output. Since we had such high spoilage, we got fewer units, but used more hours. That is why your efficiency variance was negative. It does not imply that you didn't do your best. It just means that we investigate to see what happened. Good luck, and I hope this month is a better one for all of us. (signed)

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Describe management's decision-making process and incremental analysis. Management's decision-making process is (a) identify the problem and assign responsibility (b) determine and evaluate possible courses of action, (c) make the decision, and (d) review the results of the decision. Incremental analysis identifies financial data that change under alternative courses of action. These data are relevant to the decision because they will vary in the future among the possible alternatives. 2. Analyze the relevant costs in various decisions involving incremental analysis. The relevant information in accepting an order at a special price is the difference between the variable costs to produce the special order and expected revenues. Any changes in fixed costs, opportunity costs, or other incremental costs or savings (such as additional shipping) should be considered. In a make-or-buy decision, the relevant costs are (a) the variable manufacturing costs that will be saved as well as changes to fixed manufacturing costs, (b) the purchase price, and (c) opportunity costs. The decision rule for whether to sell or process materials further is: Process further as long as the incremental revenue from processing exceeds the incremental processing costs. The relevant costs to be considered in determining whether equipment should be repaired, retained, or replaced are the effects on variable costs and the cost of the new equipment. Also, any disposal value of the existing asset must be considered. In deciding whether to eliminate an unprofitable segment or product, the relevant costs are the variable costs that drive the contribution margin, if any, produced by the segment or product. Opportunity cost and reduction of fixed expenses must also be considered. 3. Contrast annual rate of return and cash payback in capital budgeting. The annual rate of return is obtained by dividing expected annual net income by the average investment. The higher the rate of return, the more attractive the investment. The cash payback technique identifies the time period to recover the cost of the investment. The formula is Cost of capital

expenditure divided by Estimated net annual cash flow equals Cash payback period. The shorter the payback period, the more attractive the investment. 4. Distinguish between the net present value and internal rate of return methods. Under the net present value method, compare the present value of future net cash flows with the capital investment to determine net present value. The NPV decision rule is: Accept the project if net present value is zero or positive. Reject the investment if net present value is negative. Under the internal rate of return method, find the interest yield of the potential investment. The IRR decision rule is: Accept the project when the internal rate of return is equal to or greater than the required rate of return. Reject the project when the internal rate of return is less than the required rate.

(3 min.)
When net annual cash inflows are expected to be equal, the internal rate of return can be approximated by dividing the capital investment by the net annual cash inflows to determine the discount factor, and then locating this discount factor on the present value of an annuity table. $90,000 ÷ $16,870 = 5.33 By tracing across on the 8-year row, we see that the discount factor for 10% is 5.33493. Thus, the internal rate of return on this project is approximately 10%.

The increase in sales by 10% of the Buck division was not enough to offset the loss of the Leonard division. Ex. 185 Mississippi Forest Corporation operates two divisions, the Commercial Division and the Consumer Division. The Commercial Division manufactures and sells logs to paper manufacturers. The Consumer Division operates retail lumber mills which sell a variety of products in the do-it-yourself homeowner market. The company is considering disposing of the Consumer Division since it has been consistently unprofitable for a number of years. The income statements for the two divisions for the year ended December 31, 2014 are presented below:
Sales revenue Cost of goods sold Gross profit Selling & administrative expenses Net income
Commercial $1,500,000 900,000 600,000 250,000 $ 350,000

Ex. 187 A recent accounting graduate from East Southwest State University evaluated the operating performance of Patel Company's four divisions. The following presentation was made to Patel 's Board of Directors. During the presentation, the accountant made the recommendation to eliminate the Northern Division stating that total net income would increase by $60,000. (See analysis below.) Sales revenue Cost of Goods Sold Gross Profit Operating Expenses Net Income
Other Three Divisions $2,000,000 950,000 1,050,000 800,000 $ 250,000
Northern Division $480,000 400,000 80,000 140,000 $ (60,000)
Total $2,480,000 1,350,000 1,130,000 940,000 $ 190,000
For the other divisions, cost of goods sold is 80% variable and operating expenses are 70% variable. The cost of goods sold for the Northern Division is 35% fixed, and its operating expenses are 75% fixed. If the division is eliminated, only $5,000 of the fixed operating costs will be eliminated. Instructions Do you concur with the new accountant's recommendation? Present a schedule to support your answer.

The accountant is not correct. If the Northern Division is eliminated, the net income will be $180,000 less, not $60,000 greater. The reduction in income is the result of the loss of the contribution margin less the avoidable fixed costs of $5,000.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS S-A E 212 Management is often faced with the alternative of continuing to make a product or component internally, or going to an external source and purchasing the product or component. In gathering relevant information for these two alternatives, briefly identify the quantitative factors that should be considered. Are there any qualitative factors that should also be considered? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Resource Management, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Business Economics
Solution 212 The quantitative factors to be considered in a make or buy decision include the incremental costs to make the product, the incremental costs of buying the product, and the opportunity cost (potential benefit foregone) if the product is made. Generally, all variable production costs are relevant in a make or buy decision, but only some fixed costs, or no fixed costs, are relevant because many fixed costs will be incurred regardless of whether the decision is to make or buy. Qualitative factors include the possible adverse effect on employees and the stability of the supplier's price and quality. S-A E 213 Management uses several capital budgeting approaches in evaluating projects for possible investment. Identify those approaches that are more desirable from a conceptual standpoint, and briefly explain what features these approaches have that make them more desirable than other approaches. Also identify the least desirable approach and explain its major weaknesses. Ans: N/A, LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Resource Management, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Investment Decisions
Solution 213 From a conceptual standpoint, the discounted cash flow methods (net present value and internal rate of return) are considered more desirable because they consider both the estimated cash flows and the time value of money. The time value of money is critical because of the long-term impact of capital budgeting decisions. Capital budgeting approaches which do not consider the time value of money include annual rate of return and cash payback. The cash payback method is the least desirable because it also ignores the expected profitability of the project.

26 - 66 Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Twelfth Edition S-A E 214 Define the term "opportunity cost." How may this cost be relevant in a make-or-buy decision? Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Resource Management, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Investment Decisions
Solution 214 Opportunity cost may be defined as the potential benefit that may be obtained by following an alternative course of action. Opportunity cost is relevant in a make-or-buy decision when the facilities used to make the part can be used to generate additional income. S-A E 215 Sandra Everhart is trying to understand the term "cost of capital." Define the term, and indicate its relevance to the decision rule under the annual rate of return technique. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Resource Management, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Investment Decisions
Solution 215 Cost of capital is the rate of return that management expects to pay on all borrowed and equity funds. The decision rule is: A project is acceptable if its rate of return is greater than or equal to management's minimum rate of return (which often is its cost of capital), and the project is unacceptable when the rate of return is less than the minimum rate of return. S-A E 216 (Ethics) Selma Bosco is on the capital budgeting committee for her company, Magnificent Tile. Bill Baumhauer is an engineer for the firm. Bill expresses his disappointment to Selma that a project that was given to him to review before submission looks extremely good on paper. "I really hoped that the cost projections wouldn't pan out," he tells his friend. "The technology used in this is pie in the sky kind of stuff. There are a hundred things that could go wrong. But the figures are very convincing. I haven't sent it on yet, though I probably should." "You can keep it if it's really that bad," assures Selma. "Anyway, you can probably get it shot out of the water pretty easily, and not have the guy who submitted it mad at you for not turning it in. Just fix the numbers. If you figure, for instance, that a cost is only 50% likely to be that low, then double it. We do it all the time, informally. Best of all, the rank and file don't get to come to those sessions. Your engineering genius need never know. He'll just think someone else's project was even better than his." Required: 1. Who are the stakeholders in this situation? 2. Is it ethical to adjust the figures to compensate for risk? Explain. 3. Is it ethical to change the proposal before submitting it? Explain. Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Resource Management, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Business Economics

2. It is ethical, in general, to adjust projections to compensate for risk. However, it should be clearly stated that the projections have been adjusted for risk, and the method used should be available for review. Otherwise, the entire selection process is undermined, and it becomes entirely subjective. 3. It is probably not ethical to modify a proposal at all; certainly not in the way described. The engineer submitting the proposal should have the right to know about any changes that were made, and should have the right to review those changes. S-A E 217 (Communication) You are the general accountant for Unlimited Words, Inc., a typing service based in San Francisco, California. The company has decided to upgrade its equipment. It currently has a widely used version of a word processing program. The company wishes to invest in more up-todate software and to improve its printing capabilities. Two options have emerged. Option #1 is for the company to keep its existing computer system, and upgrade its word processing program. The memory of each individual work station would be enhanced, and a larger, more efficient printer would be used. Better telecommunications equipment would allow for the electronic transmission of some documents as well. Option #2 would be for the company to invest in an entirely different computer system. The software for this system is extremely impressive, and it comes with individual laser printers. However, the company is not well known, and the software does not connect well with well-known software. The net present value information for these options follows:
Initial Investment Returns Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Net Present Value
Option #1 $(95,000) 55,000 30,000 10,000 0
Option #2 $(240,000) 80,000 80,000 80,000 0
Required: Prepare a brief report for management in which you make a recommendation for one system or the other, using the information given. Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Communications, AICPA BB: Resource Management, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: Investment Decisions
Solution 217 I recommend that the company accept Option #1, to purchase upgrades to our present system and to buy a more efficient printer. In the first place, the changes will be easier to implement because the equipment is similar to that which we already use. Secondly, the company will have less money invested in the project, which decreases our risk of loss should the project fail. Option #2 appears to be too risky.

3. Make or Buy Elite Electric has an offer from a potential supplier to provide 40,000 units at $65 each that Elite now manufactures at a total cost of $75 per unit. The manufacturing costs for 40,000 units are: direct materials $900,000; direct labor $450,000; variable overhead $900,000; and fixed overhead $750,000. All costs except $500,000 in fixed overhead will be avoided if the parts are purchased. (a) What should Elite do in this situation?
(b) Would your answer change if Elite could use the capacity that would become available to produce additional income of $125,000? Explain.
4. Order at a Special Price Metro Motors diesel engine plant is currently operating slightly above breakeven at 30% of its 200,000 unit capacity. Metro wants to take advantage of an opportunity to bid on a special order from a potential customer. Metro's regular product sells for $400 and has the following costs per unit: variable manufacturing, $100; fixed manufacturing, $180; variable selling and administrative, $35; fixed selling and administrative, $50. The order would be for 40,000 units over each of the next 5 years, with no hope for renewal because of product-line changes, and would require an expenditure of $4,000,000 for special machinery that would have no alternative use. Variable selling costs would be $10 less per unit on the special order, but variable manufacturing would be $10 higher. If Metro requires a minimum of a $15 per unit contribution towards profits on a special order, what should be its minimum bid?
