Financial ratio calculated: Cash Flow Yield = Cash Flow from Operations Net Income $8,750 = = 1.3 $7,000 = 1.3 times 106

Chapter 3, E 1. 1. 2. 3. 4. When a company has net income, its stockholders' equity increases, but there is also an increase in assets and/or decrease in liabilities. To measure a company's performance (net income) accurately, each expense (in this case, guaranty or warranty expense) must be matched with the related revenue in the year in which the product or service was sold. Otherwise, net income will be overstated, and the related liability will be understated. Accrual accounting is more closely related to profitability because the purpose of accrual accounting is to measure net income. Cash accounting is more closely related to the goal of liquidity. No, the carrying value will equal the market value of the asset only by coincidence because the goal of recording depreciation is to allocate the cost of the asset over its life, not to determine its market value. Chapter 3, E 2. 1. 2. 3. Retained Earnings is not listed because it begins with a zero balance in the first month of operation. It does not yet reflect the amounts of revenues, exthe Supplies T account. The amount expended in cash to purchase supplies penses, and dividends for the year, which are listed in the adjusted trial balance. You would expect to find the amount expended in cash on the debit side of represents an asset increase and is recorded by a debit to Supplies. The amount expensed during the period represents an asset decrease and is recorded by a credit to Supplies. Cash flow yield is a good measure of liquidity and is closely related to the goal of liquidity. It tells how much cash is generated by the company's operations in relation to its net income.

User Insight: The effect of adjustments discussed Adjusting entries affect net income on the income statement, and therefore they affect the cash flow yield. After the adjustments have been posted in the previous parts of the problem, the cash flow yield for the year has increased because the additional expenses recorded exceed the additional revenues, decreasing net income and thus increasing cash flow yield. 155

Lucent Technologies recognized revenue. However, collectibility was not rea- sonably assured. Therefore, Lucent Technologies violated the matching rule. Chapter 3, C 1. According to the concepts of accrual accounting and the matching rule, the accountant must estimate and record (accrue) the expenses associated with a sale even though cash may not be paid out until future years. This procedure enables management to tell whether a company is earning an income and to make informed decisions. In other words, whenever Never Flake sold a rust-prevention coating, there was an associated warranty expense that the company could expect to pay in future years. If warranty expenses had been estimated correctly in the years in which sales were made, Never Flake's management would have realized that it was either charging too little for the rust-prevention service or being too generous in the period covered by the warranty. The failure to properly estimate the warranty expense undoubtedly led to poor management decisions and, eventually, to the company's bankruptcy. Chapter 3, C 2. a. b. c. d. e. America Online (AOL) recognized advertising as an asset. However, advertising services had already been used to produce revenue in that accounting period. Therefore, AOL violated the matching rule. Future benefits are uncertain. Eclipsys recognized revenue, although it had not yet rendered the services. Therefore, Eclipsys violated the matching rule. Xerox violated the guidelines for recognition by overstating revenues. It should record revenues from the leases over the periods during which the leases are earned rather than at the date of signing. Therefore, Xerox violated the matching rule. KnowledgeWare recognized revenue, although the delivery did not occur and there was no obligation to pay. Therefore, KnowledgeWare violated the matching rule. Chapter 3, C 3. Deferred production costs result from expenditures for scenery, costumes, and stage properties that are specifically related to future productions. These costs are recorded are recorded as assets in the year in which the expenditures are made and should be expensed through an adjusting entry in the year in which the production is shown. Deferred ticket revenue (unearned revenue) relates to ticket sales for the following opera season. This amount is taken into revenue through an adjusting entry in the year in which the production is performed. These accounting policies applying policies apply accrual accounting and the matching rule to the preparation of financial statements. This enables Lyric Opera's management to assess the financial success of each year's operations and to make year-to-year comparisons of operating results. 156

Chapter 3, C 4. 1. Film and television costs defined Film and television costs consist of the cost of producing films and television programs less the amount that has been expensed. They are classified as an asset because they are the net amount associated with films and television programs that are expected to produce revenues in future years. 2. T accounts set up to record the amount spent (in millions) Cash $3,421 Film and Television Costs $3,421 3. T accounts set up to record the amount expensed (in millions) Film and Television Expense (amortization) $3,486 Film and Television Costs $3,486 4. Matching rule discussed The matching rule attempts to allocate the costs of films and television programs to the accounting periods in which the revenues associated with the costs are recognized. For example, a common way of determining the amount to expense in a given period is to multiply the cost of films and television programs times the revenues received in the current period divided by the total revenues expected to be received over the life of the films and television programs. 157

Chapter 3, C 5. 1. 2. 3. All current assets except cash can be affected by adjusting entries. Similarly, long-term assets like property and equipment can require adjustments to allocate cost to the life of the assets. Adjusting entries serve to allocate prepaid expenses that have been used in the current period and accrue revenue that has been earned. The note on property and equipment lists the various types of the company's assets and discloses their estimated useful lives. Depreciation and amortization expense appears on the CVS statement of cash flows in the lower portion of the statement where net income is reconciled to cash from operating activities. Because depreciation and amortization are operating expenses, they would also be included in operating expenses on the income statement. CVS states that its financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This means that management has to make estimates and assumptions. For instance, determining the amount of depreciation expense depends on several estimates, such as the estimated lives of the assets. Chapter 3, C 6. CVS (dollars in millions): Cash Flow Yield = Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net Income 2009 $4,035.0 = = $3,696.0 1.1 or 1.1 times 2008 = $3,947.0 $3,212.0 = 1.2 or 1.2 times Southwest (dollars in millions): Cash Flow Yield = Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net Income $985 2009 = = 9.9 or 9.9 times $99 -$1,521 2008 = = -8.5 or -8.5 times $178 CVS is steadier even though its cash flow yield decreased in 2009 and was less than that of Southwest in 2009. CVS is steady even though less in 2009. 158

Chapter 3, C 7. It is not appropriate to record the cash received for the service contracts as revenues in the current year because policy coverage does not begin until the second year of ownership. This would overstate net income in the first year when cash is received. The expenses associated with these receipts will not be incurred for one year or more from the date of receipt. This would cause the net income to be under- stated in the two years the policy actually covered years 2 and 3 of ownership. To give management a clear view of how the business is doing, accrual accounting and the matching rule should be applied. This can be done by recording the cash received as deferred revenue (a liability) until the period in which the service is actually provided, which is after the regular warranty period expires. At that time, an entry would be made to debit the Unearned Service Revenue account and to credit the Service Contract Revenue account for one year's worth or a portion of a year's worth of the service contract. The remaining amount would be adjusted the following year. Students may suggest an alternative method: immediately recording the cash received as revenue, but recording the estimated cost as an expense through an adjusting entry. This method does not work as well because the service is provided in the years in which the service contract applies, not in the year in which the cash is received, and because it is difficult to estimate the amount of the future expense. To apply accrual accounting, the accountant must assume that it is possible to divide the life of the business into time periods (periodicity) and that the business will be a going concern long enough for the transactions and service contracts to be resolved. This question raises the issue of whether it would be unethical not to follow good accounting practice. In answering this question, one must recognize who benefits and who is harmed when good practices are not followed. If management's recommendation is accepted, earnings will be overstated in. Perhaps this overstatement will hurt no one. But the likelihood is that various people with stakes in the company will be hurt. For example, stockholders and creditors, such as banks, may receive an incorrect view of the company's progress and pay too high a price for stock or lend too much money to the company. One must also ask what management's stake is in this issue. Is compensation tied to net income? Could managers possibly lose their jobs if the financial results are not positive? The goal of accounting is to provide useful information based on the substance of business activities. Accounting practice should not be manipulated to achieve personal goals. If people would be hurt or unfairly rewarded because good accounting practice is not followed, it would be unethical to accept management's recommendation. 159

Results discussed The performance of the company is much less favorable than Rak's original figures suggest. As a result of the adjustments, net income is $66,000 ($80,000 $14,000) less than Rak's initial determination. The lower net income means that stockholders' equity is only $89,000 ($155,000 $66,000). Instead of earning 18.5 percent on reve- nues ($80,000 $432,500) and 37.2 percent on assets ($80,000 $215,000), the firm earned only 3.2 percent on revenues ($14,000 $439,250) and 8.4 percent on assets ($14,000 $167,500). Rak's plan to issue a $62,500 dividend is probably ill-advised because it exceeds earnings by over four times and it would reduce stockholders' equity to $26,500 ($89,000 $62,500). 161
