The Principles of Accounting Demo Doc System: For professors whose greatest joy is hearing students say “I get it!”
Help your students achieve “I get it!” moments when you’re with them AND when you’re NOT.

When you’re there showing how to solve a problem in class, students “get it.” When you’re not there, they get stuck—it’s only natural. Our system is designed to help you deliver the best “I get it!” moments. (Instructor’s Edition, Instructor Demo Docs) But it’s the really tricky situations that no one else has zeroed in on— the 2 A.M. outside-of-class moments, when you’re not there—that present the greatest challenge. That’s where we come in: at these critical “they have the book, but they don’t have you” moments. Principles of Accounting’s Demo Doc System will help in those critical times. The ability of the Horngren System to help in those times is what makes this package different from all other textbooks.

The Principles of Accounting Demo Doc System Duplicate the classroom experience anytime, anywhere. When is your “I get it!” moment?
1
THE FIRST EDITION 1. A system of instruction that duplicates the classroom experience anytime, anywhere. 2. Demo Docs: entire problems worked through step-by-step from start to finish with the kind of comments around it that YOU would say in class. Available in Flash and in print. 3. A “no clutter” layout, so critical content is clear. 4. Consistency of voice and visual exhibits across all mediums. 5. MyAccountingLab Online Homework and Assessment tool: Marry the “I get it!” moment with the Power of Practice. 6. Your “I get it!” moment on your time.
Details 1. CHAPTERS 1–4 We know it’s critical that students nail the fundamentals and language before they can move to practice. We’re spending extra time developing the accounting cycle chapters (Chs 1-4) to make sure they will help students succeed. We’re including extra visuals, comprehensive problems, and a Demo Doc for every chapter to give students enough to go on. 2. THE ULTIMATE SYSTEM: FUELED BY DEMO DOCS–This is the System of Learning (Text + Study Guide with Demo Docs + MyAccountingLab). ! NEW DEMO DOCS – Introductory
accounting students consistently tell us, Demo Doc “When doing homework, I get stuck trying Debit/Credit Transaction Analysis to solve problems the way they were demonstrated in class.” Instructors consistently tell us, “I have so much to cover in so little time; I can’t afford to go backward and review homework in class.” Those challenges inspired us to develop Demo Docs. Demo Docs are comprehensive worked-through problems available for every chapter of our introductory accounting text to help students when they are trying to solve exercises and problems on their own.
Demo Doc: To make sure you understand this material, work through the following demonstration "demo doc" with detailed comments to help you see the concept within the framework of a worked through problem. Learning Objectives
1–3

All Demo Docs will be available online in Flash and in print so students can easily refer to them when they need them. 3. CONSISTENCY – The small, incremental stuff matters. Consistency in form, function, and language. From medium to medium. So when students ask “Where do the numbers come from?” they can go to our text OR go online and know what to do. If it’s worded one way here, it’s worded the same way there. In the case where alternate terms could be used, we reference them in the definition at the end of the chapter for students so they “get it.” It looks one way here, it looks the same way there. 4. CLUTTER-FREE – We’re getting rid of clutter. Less is more. Extraneous boxes and features, non-essential bells and whistles…gone. Too much excess crowds out what really matters—the concepts, the problems, the learning objectives. Instructors asked for fewer ”features“ in favor of more exercises with better cross referencing. So, that's what we’ve done. Based on feedback, important items such as ethics and business cases are now located as part of the end of chapter materials so that the student can follow the sequence of learning accounting uninterrupted.

Trial Balance Errors When recording and posting transactions, accounting errors can—and do—occur in both manual and computerized accounting systems. The trial balance helps us find those errors that cause total debits and total credits to be unequal. To find an error, you start with the trial balance and work back through the accounting records—through the ledger and through the journal—to the transaction. Errors can occur in the following activities: • Preparing the trial balance • Calculating account balances

INSTRUCTOR SUPPLEMENTS Instructor’s Edition featuring Instructor Demo Docs ! The New Look Instructor’s Edition
We’ve asked a lot of instructors how we can help them successfully implement new course-delivery methods (e.g. online) while maintaining their regular campus schedule of classes and academic responsibilities. In response, we developed a system of instruction for those of you who are long on commitment and expertise—but short on time and assistance. The primary goal of the Instructor’s Edition is ease of implementation, using any delivery method— traditional, self-paced, or online. That is, the Instructor’s Edition quickly answers for you, the professor, the question “What must the student do?” Likewise, the Instructor’s Edition quickly answers for the student, “What must I do?”, and offers time saving tips with “best of” categories for in class discussion and strong examples to illustrate difficult concepts to a wide variety of students. The Instructor’s Edition also offers a quick one-shot cross reference at the exact point of importance with key additional teaching resources, so everything is in one place. The Instructor’s Edition includes summaries and teaching tips, pitfalls for new students, and “best of” practices from instructors from across the world. ! The Instructor’s Edition also includes Instructor Demo Docs
In Instructor Demo Docs, we walk the students through how to solve a problem, as if it were the first time they’ve seen it. There are no lengthy passages of text. Instead, bits of expository text are woven into the steps needed to solve the problem, in the exact sequence—for you to provide at the teachable “I get it!” moment. This is the point at which the student has a context within which he or she can understand the concept. We provide conversational text around each of the steps so the student stays engaged in solving the problem. We provide notes to the instructor for key teaching points around the Demo Docs, and “best of” practice tid-bits before each Instructor Demo Doc. The Instructor Demo Docs are written with all of your everyday classroom realities in mind—and trying to save your time in prepping new examples each time your book changes. Additionally, algorithmic versions of these Demo Docs are provided to students in their student guide. We keep the terminology consistent with the text, so there are no surprises for students as they try and work through a problem the first time.

Study Guide including DEMO DOCS and e-Working Papers Introductory accounting students consistently tell us, “When doing homework, I get stuck trying to solve problems the way they were demonstrated in class.” Instructors consistently tell us, “I have so much to cover in so little time; I can’t afford to go backwards and review homework in class.” Those challenges inspired us to develop Demo Docs. Demo Docs are comprehensive worked-through problems available for nearly every chapter of our introductory accounting text to help students when they are trying to solve exercises and problems on their own. The idea is to help students duplicate the

Accounting and the Business Environment
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW Accounting is the language of business. Although the textbook and your teacher have both made this statement, what does it mean? It means that accounting is how businesses communicate, both with each other and with investors. Accounting terms and concepts are encountered every day in the business world. Imagine that you decide to move to or visit a foreign country for an extended period of time. If you hope to become a part of this world, you must learn the language. Even though you may know you will not live in that country for the rest of your life, you will need to understand the basic terms of the language in order to get by on a daily basis. Likewise, even though you may not want to become an accountant, you will need to understand the language, such as assets, revenues, cost of goods sold, payables, and so forth, in order to effectively communicate with your boss, your co-workers, and your clients. Suppose you go to a job interview and the interviewer asks you what you think about their depreciation policy. If you cannot answer, then you likely will not get the job. One objective of this textbook is to help you learn and understand these terms so that you will be able to express yourself in “business language” when you graduate. If you think about it, this goal is not so unusual. Every field or type of job has its own language. Think about the language of football, for example. Touchdown, field goal, offside, power sweep . . . even though you may not want to work in a football-related career, if you are to understand and enjoy the sport, you need to understand its language as well. The primary way that businesses communicate with outsiders (that is, people who are not employed by or owners of the business) is through financial statements. This chapter introduces the primary financial statements and shows you the kinds of accounting items (called accounts) that you are likely to find on each one and how they flow through to these statements. It also explains the importance of these statements to people who use them.
Learning Objectives
1
Describe the nature and types of business organizations. A business can be classified by what it provides to customers or by how it is organized. The types of businesses are service companies, which provide services to customers; merchandise companies, which sell products to customers; or manufacturing companies, which manufacture
1eSG_CO1_0131792075.QXD
10/19/06
12:35 PM
Page 2
goods for sale to customers. Any of these businesses can be organized as a proprietorship (the most common form of business entity), a partnership (common for attorneys, doctors, and accountants), or a corporation (which is owned by the stockholders).
2
Explain the role of accounting in business organizations. Accounting is the information system that measures business activity, processes the data into reports, and communicates the results to the users of those reports. Business owners, managers, investors, creditors, and taxing authorities all rely on accounting to provide information they need for making decisions.
3
Define generally accepted accounting principles and describe the basic accounting concepts. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are the accounting guidelines that govern how accountants measure, process, and communicate financial information so that it is accurate and reliable. GAAP is based on an underlying set of concepts so that each accounting rule (and hence the accounting data) are logical and make sense when compared to other accounting rules.
4
Use the accounting equation to analyze business transactions. It is critical to understand each of the basic components of the accounting equation (Assets ! Liabilities " Owner’s Equity). A business transaction is an event that can be measured and affects any of the components of the accounting equation. The accounting equation is used to record the effects of business transactions.
5
Prepare and explain the relationships among the financial statements. Business transactions are analyzed, recorded, classified, and reported in the financial statements, which are commonly prepared on an annual basis and include the income statement, statement of owner’s equity, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows. Financial statements communicate important information to help users evaluate business performance. Refer to Exhibit 1-8 (p. 22) for examples of the four financial statements.
6
Describe the ethical decision-making process. Ethics has received renewed attention since the accounting scandals of Enron, WorldCom, and Tyco early in the twenty-first century. Although most managers, owners, and auditors perform their jobs ethically and competently, financially devastating results happen when they fail to do so. It goes without saying that ethics and standards of professional conduct are important principles to cultivate in any business.

Notice that after recording this transaction, the equation balances. In other words, the formula Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity still holds. b. The business paid $650 cash for supplies. Supplies represent an asset that is increased by $650. Because they were paid for with cash, the Cash account (an asset) is decreased by $650. 4

c. The business paid $1,000 cash for bicycles and purchased $2,000 worth of bicycles on account. The Bicycles account (an asset) is increased, but by how much? What is the cost of the bicycles? If $1,000 is paid in cash and $2,000 is bought on account, the total cost is $1,000 + $2,000 = $3,000. Why? This total amount is what the business will (eventually) end up paying in order to acquire the bicycles. This accounting is consistent with the cost principle.
3
Define generally accepted accounting principles and describe the basic accounting concepts.
4
Use the accounting equation to analyze business transactions.
So Bicycles (an asset) is increased by $3,000, whereas Cash (an asset) decreases by $1,000. The $2,000 on account relates to accounts payable (because it will have to be paid later). Because we now owe money that is to be paid later, it increases Accounts Payable (a liability) by $2,000.

d. The business paid $700 on the accounts payable to the bicycle store. Think of accounts payable as a list of companies to which the business owes money. In other words, it is a list of companies to which the business will pay money. In this particular problem, the business owes money to the company from which it purchased bicycles on account (see transaction c). When the business pays the money in full, it can cross this company off the list. Right now, the business is paying only part of the money owed to the bicycle store. This payment decreases Accounts Payable (a liability) by $700 and decreases Cash (an asset) by $700.

e. The business performed delivery services for customers totaling $1,200. These customers paid in cash. When the business performs services, it means that it is doing work for customers. Doing work for customers is the way that the business makes money. By performing services, the business is earning revenues. Earning revenues means that Service Revenues is increased (which increases owner’s equity) by $1,200. Because the customers paid in cash, Cash (an asset) is also increased by $1,200.

f. The business also performed delivery services for customers on account, totaling $2,400. Again, the delivery service performs services for customers, which means that it earns revenues. Earning revenues results in an increase in Service Revenues (owner’s equity) of $2,400. However, this time the customers charged the services on account. The business will receive this money in the future (when the customers eventually pay) so it is called accounts receivable. Accounts Receivable (an asset) is increased by $2,400.

g. The business collected $550 of accounts receivable. Think of accounts receivable as a list of customers from whom the business will collect money. In other words, it is a list of customers from whom the business will receive money at some future time. In this particular problem, these customers received services but did not pay at that time (see transaction f). Later, when the business collects (receives) the cash in full from any particular customer, it can cross that customer off the list. This transaction decreases Accounts Receivable (an asset) by $550. Because the cash is received, Cash (an asset) is increased by $550. 6

h. The business paid rent (for the month of August) of $850. The rent has already been used. By the end of August, the service has been operating and using the space for the entire month. The benefit of the rent has already been received or used up, which makes it a rent expense. [Note that if the rent was paid for September, it would not yet be used up and would still be a future benefit (an asset) and not an expense. This issue will be discussed in Chapter 3.] So Rent Expense is increased by $850, which decreases owner’s equity. The question states that the rent was paid, which means it was paid in cash. Therefore, Cash (an asset) is decreased by $850.

i. The business paid the employees $1,800 for the month of August. Again, the transaction states that the business paid the employees, meaning that they paid in cash. Therefore, Cash (an asset) is decreased by $1,800. The work the employees have given to the business has already been used. By the end of August, the delivery service has had the employees working and delivering for customers for the entire month and the benefit of the work has already been received, making it a salary expense. So, Salary Expense would increase by $1,800, which decreases owner’s equity.

k. The business received a telephone bill for $175. As of August 31, 2008, it had not been paid. Utilities (such as water, gas, electricity, phone, and Internet service) are generally not billed until after they have been used. If these utilities are already used, then they are utilities expenses. So, utility expense would increase by $175, which is a decrease to owner’s equity. Because the bill has not yet been paid as of August 31, it is an account payable. This transaction increases Accounts Payable (a liability) by $175.

So, to create an income statement, we only need to list the revenue accounts and then subtract the list of expense accounts to calculate net income. We can read these amounts from the accounting equation worksheet. Two transactions affect service revenue: e and f. Transaction e increases service revenue by $1,200, and transaction f increases service revenue by $2,400. Total service revenue for the month is calculated as follows: $1,200 # $2,400 " $3,600
Rent expense of $850, salary expense of $1,800, and utilities expense of $175 were recorded in transactions h, i, and k, respectively.

From the income statement, we can see that the delivery service earned $775 of profit during the month of August. The level of withdrawals ($900) seems high given that it is more than the amount of profit earned during the month. If the owner continued to withdraw at this rate, the business could end up with a negative equity balance. As the sole owner, it is Rick’s right to withdraw money from the delivery service. As long as the withdrawal is properly recorded in the accounting system, it is ethical for Rick to withdraw money from the business.

Recording Business Transactions
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW If you have a checking account, you know that once a month you receive a statement from the bank. The statement shows the beginning cash balance, increases, decreases, and the ending cash balance. The account balance is the amount that the bank owes you, their customer. Your balance represents a liability to the bank. The deposits you make increase the bank’s liability to you. The withdrawals or checks you write decrease that liability. Instead of using the terms increase and decrease, businesses have used a system of accounting for more than 500 years with debits and credits. Either a debit or a credit may signify an increase to the account, depending upon the type of account: asset, liability, or owner’s equity. Your checking account balance is a liability to your bank; does a debit or credit indicate an increase? When you take money out of the bank, it decreases the bank’s liability to you because you’ve received back a portion of your account balance and is shown as a debit on the bank statement. When you deposit money into your account, it increases the banks’ liability to you and is reflected as a credit on the bank statement. So, you can see that you probably already know that the rule for a liability account is that increases are shown as credits and decreases as debits.
Learning Objectives
1
Describe the role of accounts in summarizing business transactions. Remember that every business transaction has two sides: You receive something and you give something. Likewise, every transaction affects two or more specific accounts. The first several chapters of this book contain many new terms that are used in the remaining chapters and are important for you to understand. These terms include the journal, account, ledger, trial balance, and chart of accounts. In order to describe the process of recording and summarizing business transactions, it is crucial that you understand these terms now before you proceed with your study of accounting. Also, carefully review the detailed description of the various specific asset, liability, and owner’s equity accounts in the main text.
2
Explain double-entry accounting. A business transaction affects two or more specific accounts. Each account has two sides: the left (debit) side, and the right (credit) side. Remember that debit only means left and credit only means right.
1eSG_CO2_0131792075.QXD
10/19/06
12:57 PM
Page 34
Increases are recorded on one side and decreases on the other. Depending upon the type of account, a debit may indicate an increase or a decrease. Assets are on the left side of the equation; they increase on the left (debit) side. Liabilities and owner’s equity are on the right side of the equation; they increase on the right (credit) side. Understanding this basic concept is crucial. Review Exhibit 2-2 (p. 62) for the debit and credit rules.
3
Record and summarize business transactions. Business transactions are analyzed and then recorded in the journal. The journal shows the accounts that are debited and credited to record business transactions in chronological order. Debits and credits only reflect increases and decreases to the accounts. To obtain a specific account balance, it is helpful to collect the debit and credit information recorded in the journal in one place. Posting—that is, copying the debits and credits from the journal into the account ledger—provides this information. The difference between the total debits and total credits in each account is the balance. The balance is shown on the larger side, normally the side to record the increase. Review how to record transactions in the journal under “Process of Recording and Summarizing Business Transactions,” and especially the five steps of “The Transaction Analysis.” The more you practice recognizing debits and credits, the easier it will be to understand. Also, review the posting process in Exhibit 2-5 (p. 65).
4
Set up and use a trial balance for preparing financial statements. After transactions are recorded in the journal and posted to the ledger, a trial balance is prepared. The trial balance lists all the accounts with their balances. In a manual accounting system, it is useful as a check to determine that the total debits equal the total credits. If they are unequal, an error has been made and must be investigated before proceeding. Review the trial balance in Exhibit 2-9 (p. 80).

Remember, an account, the basic summary device, is a record showing increases, decreases, and the balance of a particular asset, liability, or owner’s equity. A T-account is a visual diagram of the additions and subtractions made to the accounts. A chart of accounts is a list of all the business’s account titles and account numbers assigned to those titles. A chart of accounts does not include account balances. Review the sample chart of accounts in Exhibit 2-1 (p. 61) of the main text. Opening a T-account simply means drawing a blank account (the T) and putting the account title on top. To help find the accounts later, they are usually organized into assets, liabilities, owner’s equity, revenue, and expenses (in that order). If the account has a starting balance, it must be put in on the correct side. Remember that debits are always on the left side of the T-account and credits are always on the right side. This rule is true for every account. The correct side is the side of an increase in the account (unless you are specifically told differently in the question), because we expect all accounts to have a positive balance, or more increases than decreases. For assets, an increase is a debit, so we would expect all assets to have a debit balance. For liabilities and owner’s equity, an increase is a credit, so we would expect these accounts to have a credit balance. By the same reasoning, we expect revenues to have a credit balance and expenses and withdrawals to have a debit balance. The balances listed in Requirement 1 are simply the amounts from the starting trial balance. We actually did not need to be told how much to put in each account because we could have read the numbers directly from the April 1 trial balance.

d. Transported customers on their planes for fees totaling $25,000. Received $7,500 in cash, with the remaining fees on account. Knight’s business is flying customers to where they want to go. Transporting customers is “performing a service,” and the business earned service revenue. The other accounts involved are Cash (because cash was received) and Accounts Receivable (because some customers charged to their account). The total revenue was $25,000 and $7,500 was paid in cash, which means that $17,500 ($25,000 – $7,500) was charged to the customer’s account. Service Revenue (revenues) is increased, which is a credit. Cash (an asset) is increased, which is a debit. Accounts Receivable (an asset) is increased, which is a debit. 1

The entire group of accounts is called the ledger. A manual system would have a book of account pages and a computerized system would be a printout of all accounts. Amounts in the journal entries are put into the individual ledger T-accounts. Debits go on the left side, and credits go on the right side. To add up a T-account, total the debit/left side and total the credit/right side. Subtract the smaller number from the bigger number and put the difference on the side of the bigger number. This procedure gives the balance in the T-account (the net total of both sides combined). For example, with Accounts Receivable, the two numbers on the left side total $25,500 ($8,000 + $17,500). The credit/right side totals $18,000. The difference is $7,500 ($25,500 – $18,000). We put the $7,500 on the debit side because that was the side of the bigger number of $25,500. Another way to think of totaling T-accounts is:

The Adjusting Process
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW When you receive your car insurance bill, the period of coverage is always in the future. The bill may indicate that your payment must be received no later than 12:01 AM on the day after your current coverage expires to maintain your policy. Your payment is actually a prepayment, prepaid insurance. Prepaid insurance is an asset because the insurance coverage is a future benefit. But every day that the car is protected by the insurance policy, part of the benefit is used up. When an asset is used up, it becomes an expense. Technically, every day you are incurring an expense of 1/365th of your annual premium. Assume that you paid $730 for an annual insurance policy in December 2007 for the period covering January 1–December 31, 2008. Each day beginning January 1, you are using up $2 ($730/365 days) of the prepaid insurance and incurring an expense or benefit of $2. At the end of January 1, what is your future benefit? It is $728 because you’ve benefited from the insurance coverage service you received that day. Technically, you have prepaid insurance with a reduced value of $728 and an expense of $2; the total $730 payment is split between the two accounts. Each day, an additional $2 expense is accrued and the asset account contains $2 less in value. Although it would be too cumbersome to “adjust” these accounts on a daily basis, businesses generally make adjustments to their records whenever financial statements are prepared.
Learning Objectives
1
Describe the accounting principles that help businesses measure income. • The revenue principle tells us when revenue is earned and what amount of revenue to record. The matching principle requires that all of the expenses incurred during a period are recorded and matched (recorded in the same time period) against the revenues. • The time period concept ensures that information is reported often.
Refer to Exhibit 3-1 (p. 127) of the main text for a visual overview of the accounting principles for measuring income.
2
Describe the four types of adjusting entries. Adjusting entries are recorded at the end of the accounting period when financial statements are prepared. The objective of adjusting entries is
1eSG_CO3_0131792075.QXD
10/19/06
1:16 PM
Page 72
to update the account balances and to accurately measure net income or net loss. The four types of adjusting entries are: • Prepaid expenses: Cost (future expenses) that are paid for in advance of being used. • Unearned revenue: Cash received from customers before revenue is earned. • Accrued expenses: An expense the business has incurred but not yet paid. • Accrued revenue: A revenue that has been earned but not collected in cash.
Review Exhibits 3-2 and 3-3 (pp. 128–129) in the main text for a visual overview of the types of adjusting entries.
3
Make adjusting entries. The following two-step process will facilitate preparing the adjusting journal entries: 1. Determine whether a revenue account needs to be recorded (credited) or an expense account needs to be recorded (debited). 2.The other account in the entry MUST be either an asset or a liability account. Be careful: Cash will never be included in an adjusting journal entry. You will learn how to prepare adjusting entries in Demo Doc 1. Review Exhibits 3-5 through 3-8 (pp. 138–141) carefully for a review of the adjusting journal entry process.
4
Prepare an adjusted trial balance. After the adjusting journal entries are journalized, they are posted and an adjusted trial balance is prepared. The list of updated account balances is prepared to determine that debits equal credits before preparing the financial statements. Exhibit 3-8 (p. 141) shows the flow of information from the trial balance to the adjusted trial balance on the worksheet.
5
Prepare financial statements from an adjusted trial balance. Follow the flow of data from the adjusted trial balance in Exhibit 3-8 (p. 141) to the financial statements in Exhibit 3-9 through 3-11 (p. 142).

a. Employees are paid $200 every Friday for the previous five days of work. December 31, 2008, is a Wednesday. If employees are paid $200 for five days of work, then they are paid $200/5 = $40 per day. By the end of the day on Wednesday, December 31, the employees have worked for three days and have not been paid. Therefore, Wood owes employees $40 × 3 = $120 of salary at December 31. If the salaries have not been paid, then they are payable (or in other words, they are owed) and must be recorded as some kind of payable account. We might consider using Accounts Payable, but this account is usually reserved

for bills received. The employees do not send Wood a bill, they simply expect to be paid and Wood knows that the salaries are owed. So we put this amount owed into another payable account. In this case, Salary Payable is most appropriate. Because salary is not owed until work is performed, we know that Wood’s employees have already worked. This past benefit is recorded as an expense (in this case, Salary Expense). The result is an increase to Salary Expense (a debit) and an increase to the liability Salary Payable (a credit) of $120.

Make adjusting entries.
The entry to record depreciation expense is always the same. It is only the number (dollar amount) in the entry that changes. This adjustment always increases Depreciation Expense (a debit) and increases the contra-asset account of Accumulated Depreciation (a credit). Because we are given the depreciation expense of $1,500, we simply write the entry with that amount.

c. Supplies on hand at December 31, 2008, are $400. Before adjustments, the Supplies account holds $1,200. If only $400 of supplies remains, then the other $800 must have been used: $1,200 ! $400 " $800
Supplies are an asset, a future benefit to Wood. Once the supplies are used, they are a past benefit. When they are no longer assets, the Supplies asset must be decreased by $800 (a credit). Past benefits are expenses, so Supplies Expense is increased (a debit).

d. Six months of rent ($3,000) was paid in advance on November 1, 2008. No adjustment has been made to the Prepaid Rent account since. Wood prepaid $3,000 for six months of rent on November 1, which means that Wood pays $3,000/6 = $500 a month for rent. At December 31, two months have passed since the prepayment, so two months of the prepayment have been used. The amount of rent used is: 2 # $500 " $1,000
When something is prepaid, it is a future benefit (an asset) because the business is now entitled to receive goods or services. Once those goods or services are received (in this case, once Wood has occupied the building being rented), it becomes a past benefit, and therefore an expense. So Rent Expense must be increased (a debit) and the Prepaid Rent (an asset) must be decreased (a credit).

e. Accrued revenue totaling $1,800 must be recorded. Accrued revenue is another way of saying “accounts receivable” (or receipt of payment in the future). If accrued revenue is recorded, it means that accounts receivable is also recorded (that is, customers received goods or services from the business, but the business has not yet received the cash). The business is entitled to these receivables because the revenue has been earned. Note that not all revenue is accrued revenue. Only the revenue that is earned but not immediately received from the customer (that is, the accounts receivable) is referred to as accrued. Revenues that are earned and received immediately in cash are not accrued revenues. Service Revenue must be increased by $1,800 (a credit) and the Accounts Receivable asset account must be increased by $1,800 (a debit).

Quick Practice Questions True/False 1. Revenue is recorded when it is earned; usually when a good or service has been delivered to the customer. 2. The time period concept provides for periodic reporting at regular intervals. 3. An accounting year that ends on a date other than December 31 is called an interim year. 4. The revenue principle requires that a cash deposit for future construction be recorded as revenue. 5. Adjusting journal entries are made at the end of the period. 6. The income statement is the first financial statement that is prepared. 7. Every adjusting journal entry affects one income statement account and one balance sheet account. 8. An accrual is an expense that is recorded after it is paid. 9. Accumulated Depreciation is a liability account. 10. Unearned Service Revenue appears on the income statement.

Completing the Accounting Cycle
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW If you work, you probably notice that your pay stub includes yearto-date earnings. When a new year begins, the year-to-date totals from last year are gone and the year-to-date earnings include only the current year. Last year’s records are not erased or unimportant. Earnings from last year are reported for each employee on a W-2 form, Wage and Tax Statement. This form is sent to employees in January of the new year to attach to their income tax return. The year-to-date earnings are zeroed out to be ready to accumulate earnings in the new year. The same thing happens in a business. At the end of the accounting year, the earnings and revenue accounts are zeroed out to get ready for the new year.
Learning Objectives
1
Explain the steps in the accounting cycle. The accounting cycle is the process by which companies gather financial information to produce their financial statements. You are already familiar with the first four steps of the accounting cycle by what you have studied and practiced so far in Chapters 1–3. Namely, identify transactions that affect the business, journalize the transactions, post the journal entries to the ledger, and prepare the accounting worksheet. In this chapter, you learn how to use the worksheet to prepare the financial statements, journalize adjusting entries and post them to the ledger, and journalize and post the closing entries. The final step is to prepare a post-closing trial balance. Understanding the accounting cycle is important, so be sure to review Exhibit 4-1 (p. 181) in the main textbook, which summarizes these eight steps.
2
Prepare a worksheet. A worksheet is a multicolumned document or spreadsheet that is used to summarize accounting data at the end of the period. In Chapter 3, Exhibit 3-8 (p. 141) illustrated the first of three columns of data in the worksheet; the trial balance, adjusting journal entries, and the adjusted trial balance. The adjusted balances are brought forward to one of the last two sets of columns, either the income statement columns or the balance sheet columns. The income statement debit column includes expenses and the credit column includes revenue accounts. The balance sheet debit column includes assets and withdrawals; the credit column includes liabilities, owner’s equity, and accumulated depreciation accounts. Review Exhibits 4-2 through 4-6 (p. 184) to understand the flow of steps in preparing the worksheet.

Prepare financial statements using the worksheet. The worksheet is a working document. It helps to make the adjusting entries, prepare financial statements, and close out the temporary accounts. Review Exhibits 4-7 and 4-8 (pp. 187–188) to understand the flow of information from the worksheet to the financial statements.
4
Close the revenue, expense, and withdrawal accounts. The revenue, expense, and withdrawal accounts are temporary accounts; the account balances are zeroed (closed) out at the end of the year to get ready for recording transactions in the new year. Income Summary is a temporary account that is used only for this process. The closing process also updates the ending Capital account balance for the net income or net loss and withdrawals during the year. Review Exhibits 4-10 through 4-12 (pp. 191–193) to enhance your understanding of the closing process.
5
Classify assets and liabilities as current or long-term. Current assets and liabilities are those that will be dealt with within either a one-year period or the business’s normal operating cycle, whichever is longer. Long-term assets and liabilities are all assets and liabilities that are not current. It’s important to remember that a liability (such as a car loan or a mortgage payment) may need to be split between current and long-term liability classifications on the balance sheet, such as when an installment on a loan is due within one year, but future installments are due thereafter. Refer to Exhibit 4-14 (p. 196) to review the classified balance sheet.

Preparing financial statements from the adjusted accounting data is step 5 of the accounting cycle. First, all income statement accounts must be copied over to the income statement columns of the worksheet. Revenues and expenses are on the income statement. Copy these accounts to the income statement section. Remember to copy the debit balances to the debit column and the credit balances to the credit column (on top of next page). The remaining accounts belong on the balance sheet. Copy all assets, liabilities, and equity accounts to the balance sheet section of the worksheet. Remember to copy all debit balances to the debit column and all credit balances to the credit column (on bottom of next page). 110

Net income is calculated by subtracting the expenses from the revenues: $25,800 ! $19,220 " $6,580
Net income is added to the credit side of the balance sheet to make total debits equal total credits. Net income increases the Capital account (as seen in Requirement 2 of this question, where the closing entries are journalized). WOOD’S RESTAURANT Worksheet December 31, 2008

Requirement 2 Journalize and post the closing entries. Preparing closing entries is necessary for two reasons. First, we need to clear out the revenue, expense, and withdrawal accounts to a zero balance because they must begin the next year empty. Second, we need to update the Capital account, which is step 7 in the accounting cycle. In Chapter 1, we discussed the formula to calculate the balance in the Capital account: Beginning Capital Amount # Owner Investments Adjusted Capital Amount # Net Income (or ! Net Loss) ! Owner Withdrawals Ending Capital Amount

Capital Beginning Capital Amount Investments
Withdrawals
Adjusted Capital Amount Net Income Ending Capital Amount
This formula is the key to preparing the closing entries. We will use this formula, but we will do it inside the Capital T-account. What is in the Capital account right now? From the trial balance, we can see it has a balance of $40,000. Where did that balance come from? It is the adjusted capital amount. In this particular problem, because no investments were made (as seen from the problem in Chapter 3), it is also the ending balance from last period. So we have an advantage: The first component of the formula (adjusted capital amount) is already in the T-account. The next component is net income. It is not already in the Capital account. We do not have a T-account with net income in it, but we can create one. We create a new T-account called Income Summary. We place in it all the components of net income and come out with the net income number at the bottom. From Chapter 1, remember the formula for net income: Revenues – Expenses = Net income
To calculate net income, we need to get all revenues and expenses into the Income Summary account. Let’s look at the Service Revenue T-account:
Service Revenue Bal.
25,800
Remember the first reason to prepare closing entries: We need to clear out the income statement accounts so that they are empty to begin the next year. What do we need to do to bring the Service Revenue account to zero? It has a credit balance of $25,800, so to bring that to zero, we need to debit $25,800. We know part of our first closing entry:

The purpose of creating this account was to get a net income number. (If you did the Chapter 3 problem, note that this balance is the same net income number that appears on the income statement.) We can now take this number and put it into the Capital account. How do we remove it from the Income Summary? The Income Summary has a credit balance of $6,580, which is the net income, so to remove this amount, we must debit the Income Summary for $6,580: Journal Entry:

Accounts Receivable: Generally, customers pay what they owe to the company in less than one year (reporting period). Supplies: Supplies are usually purchased close to the time of use (benefit), well within one year or reporting period. Prepaid Rent: Generally, prepayments are not made more than one year (period) in advance, which means the prepayments (benefits) will be used within one year (reporting period).

Accounting for a Retail Business
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW You want to order a pair of pants from a mail-order catalog. The price listed in the catalog is $50. You find a 10% off coupon in the catalog for first-time customers that you plan to use. You also see that you will be charged $6.95 for shipping and handling for an order of this size. How much will the pair of pants cost you? The selling price listed is $50, but $50 is not the cost to you. The 10% coupon results in a $5 discount ($50 × 0.10) decreasing the cost to $45 ($50 – 5). However, the shipping and handling charge of $6.95 adds to the cost of the pants. Your cost for the pants is $51.95 ($50.00 – $5.00 + $6.95). Businesses calculate the cost of assets purchased in the same manner. When inventory is acquired, the cost is calculated as: Purchase price on the invoice + Cost of shipping or freight – Discounts taken Total inventory cost
Learning Objectives
1
Describe the supply chain that links suppliers, retailers, and customers. Suppliers, wholesalers, and retailers have different operations and deal with different types of customers. These businesses choose one of two inventory recording methods: the periodic system (where inventory records are updated from time to time on a regular basis) and the perpetual system (where inventory records are updated constantly). See Exhibit 5-1, Panel B (p. 231) for a description of the activities between suppliers and retailers.
2
Journalize transactions between the supplier and retailer. Companies can receive discounts from their suppliers for paying their accounts early (known as purchase discounts). If purchased goods are not acceptable or unnecessary, they may be returned (purchase returns and allowances). See Exhibit 5-1, Panel A (p. 230) for a description of the activities between retailers and suppliers, manufacturers, and wholesalers.
3
Journalize transactions between the retailer and customer. Sellers can offer discounts as an incentive for prompt payment from customers (known as sales discounts). Customers can use credit cards to pay, requiring that commissions be paid to the credit card company by the seller. Customers may return goods to the seller (sales returns and allowances). See Exhibit 5-1, Panel B (p. 231) for a description of the activities between retailers and customers.

Journalize shipment transactions and identify other selling expenses in a retail business. As seen in the What You Probably Already Know section, many factors can alter an item’s cost, including shipping. Shipping costs can be paid by the seller (FOB destination) or buyer (FOB shipping). See Exhibit 5-6, (p. 243) for a description of FOB terms.
5
Prepare a retailer’s financial statements. The income statement of a merchandiser may be prepared as a single-step income statement (listing all revenues followed by all expenses to determine net income or loss) or as a multi-step income statement (showing various subtotals such as gross profit and income from operations). The other statements are similar to those for a service company. Review a merchandiser’s financial statements in Exhibit 5-7 (p. 249).
6
Compute the gross profit percentage and inventory turnover rate. Two ratios that provide important information for a merchandiser are the gross profit percentage (computed by dividing gross profit by net sales revenue) and inventory turnover (the ratio of cost of goods sold to average inventory). See Exhibit 5-7 (p. 249) for an example of how to use these ratios.

The perpetual method requires that inventory and COGS be updated immediately whenever they are changed (unlike the periodic method, which delays most inventory and COGS journal entries until the end of the year). Under the perpetual method, all transactions in this problem must be journalized when they occur. The Inventory account is involved here because inventory was purchased. Inventory is increased by $400 (a debit). Because the inventory was not paid for in cash (it was purchased on account), Accounts Payable must also be increased by $400 (a credit). Note that the actual credit terms do not matter at this point, only that the purchase was not made in cash. However, note that 2/15, net 30 means that the customer will get a 2% discount if the full amount is paid within 15 days. Otherwise, full payment is due in 30 days.

Journalize transactions between the supplier and retailer
Remember that 2/15 means that if full payment is made within 15 days, the customer gets a 2% discount. We are paying the supplier, so we can decrease our Accounts Payable by $400 (a debit). Cash also decreases (a credit), but by how much? January 12 is within 15 days of the original purchase, so Danner is entitled to take the discount. Therefore, Danner only has to pay 100% – 2% = 98% of the purchase price to satisfy the debt owed. So the cash paid is: 98% ! $400 " $392
The difference is an adjustment to the Inventory account. The cost principle says that we should journalize assets at cost. The true cost of the inventory is now less than we originally thought. So Inventory is decreased (a credit) by this difference.

The amount of the adjustment to Inventory was made to balance the entry. In all journal entries, total debits equal total credits. The amount of the adjustment to Inventory is the amount needed to make the total debits in the entry equal to the total credits in the entry. In this case, a credit of $400 – $392 = $8 is required. The amount to balance, $8, represents the early payment discount: $400 ! 2% " $8
Feb. 1 Sold 10 units costing $21 each to a customer for $360 on account. This sale had credit terms of 1/15, net 40. This transaction involves two parts. First, Danner earns sales revenue of $360, which increases Sales Revenue (a credit) and (because it is not paid for in cash, but rather sold on account) increases Accounts Receivable (a debit). Second, Danner is also selling inventory. This means that Inventory is decreased (a credit) and COGS is increased (a debit) by:

Feb. 9 Customer returned three units from his February 1 order because he did not like the color of the goods. Because the customer is returning goods (and the goods are not defective) to the company, Danner’s Inventory increases (a debit) by 3 × $21 = $63, which then causes COGS to decrease (a credit) by $63. The customer has not yet paid, so the amount of Accounts Receivable Danner can collect from the customer decreases (a credit) by 3/10 × $360 = $108. Instead of decreasing Sales Revenue, we increase Sales Returns and Allowances (a debit) by $108. In this way, Danner can keep track of sales returns and make better business decisions.

Feb. 18 Customer paid for the February 1 order (less returns) in full. Remember that 1/15 means that if full payment is made within 15 days, the customer gets a 1% discount. However, the customer is paying 18 days after the sale, which is longer than the 15 days the discount allows. Therefore, the customer must pay the full amount. Cash is increased (a debit) by $360 – $108 = $252 (original sale of $360 less the sales return of $108). Because the customer pays Danner, Accounts Receivable is decreased (a credit) by $252.

May 6 Paid special freight costs of $30 on the May 5 inventory purchase in cash. The total cost of the inventory is the purchase price plus any additional purchasing costs (such as shipping or taxes). Therefore, we include the extra $30 of freight as part of the cost of the inventory. Inventory increases by $30 (a debit). Because these costs are being paid in cash, the Cash account decreases (a credit) by $30.

Accounts Payable is decreased by the original payable less returns made: $250 – $37.50 = $212.50 (a debit). Cash is also decreased (a credit). Although June 1 is 27 days after the original purchase and within the deadline for payment of 30 days, it is not early enough to take the discount. Therefore, the cash paid is the full amount of $212.50. In order for Danner to be entitled to take the discount, the payment must be made by May 15 (May 5 plus 10 days).

Oct. 1 Sold $160 of goods to a customer for $220 with credit terms of 1/20, net 40. The company earns sales revenue of $220, increasing Sales Revenue (a credit) and (because it is not paid for in cash) increasing Accounts Receivable (a debit). As the company sells inventory, Inventory decreases (a credit) and COGS increases (a debit) by $160. Note that the actual credit terms do not matter at this point, only that the sale was not made in cash. However, 1/20, net 40 means that the customer will get a 1% discount if the full amount is paid within 20 days. Otherwise, full payment is due in 40 days.

Oct. 19 Received cash for payment in full for the October 1 sale. This payment is within the 20-day period, so the customer is entitled to take the discount. The customer pays 100% – 1% = 99% of the receivable amount, or 99% × $220 = $217.80. Accounts Receivable is decreased by the full amount of $220 (a credit) because the bill has been paid and no more can be collected from the customer. Cash is increased by $217.80 (a debit) and the difference (the amount to balance is the amount of the discount, $220 × 10%) goes to Sales Discounts. Journal Entry: Post Ref.

Internal Control and Cash
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW When you shop in a department store, you probably noticed electronic tags on some of the goods. The cashier removes the tag upon purchase to avoid sounding an alarm when you exit the store through the security gates. You may also notice that fine jewelry is likely displayed in a locked case that can only be opened by an employee. The employee stays with you until the item is returned to the case and locked or purchased. Cartons of cigarettes are also usually secured behind locked doors or cabinets. If you work as a cashier, it’s likely that you have your own cash drawer. Periodically the cash is collected and deposited in a safe or taken to the bank. At the end of the shift, the cash is counted and compared to the sales rung up for the period to determine that the appropriate amount of cash is in the drawer. These observations are just a few of the procedures and policies that businesses employ to achieve a good system of internal control.
Learning Objectives
1
Define fraud and describe the different types of fraud in business. Fraud involves deceit or trickery that causes financial harm to a business or its stakeholders. Two broad types of fraud are employee embezzlement and management fraud, and can include misappropriation (or theft) of business assets and fraudulent financial reporting. Many potential fraudulent activities fall under these broad definitions. Fraud is an intentional behavior and three factors are often included: perceived pressure, perceived opportunity, and rationalization. Be sure to review the “Fraud” and “The Fraud Triangle” sections in the main text, including Exhibit 6-1 (p. 295), which shows the connection between these three factors.
2
Describe an internal control system. An internal control system serves to safeguard assets, encourage accurate financial reporting and efficient and effective operations, and comply with applicable laws and operations. Some components of a good system of internal control include separation of responsibilities, physical safeguards, authorization procedures that check the validity of disbursements, keeping adequate records and documentation, and independent checks and audits to validate performance and accounting records and statements. Review the overview of internal control in Exhibit 6-3 (p. 299). This topic is critical for business owners and managers.

3
Apply internal controls for cash and prepare a bank reconciliation. Because cash is liquid, desirable, and easily concealed, especially diligent internal controls are required. Challenges exist whether cash is received over the counter or by mail. The assignment and separation of employee responsibilities is important for handling cash. Cashiers should each use a separate drawer. The cash should be counted and checked against the sales register information. Remittances that are mailed in are opened, and the checks and source documentation are forwarded to two separate individuals. A third party verifies that the amount deposited agrees with the source documentation. Review the cash receipt controls in Exhibits 6-4 and 6-5 (pp. 301–302). Often the cash balance on a depositor’s books is different from the amount on the bank statement. The bank reconciliation reconciles, or brings into agreement, the bank account balance on the depositor’s records with the bank’s records. Review the bank statement, cash records, and bank reconciliation in Exhibits 6-8 through 6-10. (pp. 307–309). As you review Exhibit 6-10, think about the objective of the bank reconciliation: to arrive at the correct book balance. This focus should help you understand the rationale for why the various items are added to or subtracted from the balance per bank and the balance per books. When the “Balance per books” is different from the “Adjusted book balance,” journal entries must be recorded for all of the items that appear between those two amounts. These journal entries affect Cash and bring the book balance to the correct amount. Continue to review the journal entries related to Exhibit 6-10.
4
Record journal entries for the petty cash fund. A petty cash fund is a small amount of cash used for minor expenditures such as cab fare, tips, and supplies. When the fund is initially set up, Petty Cash (an asset) is debited and Cash is credited to establish the fund. This entry is only made when the fund is established or the petty cash fund amount is changed. When petty cash is disbursed, tickets are prepared by the custodian as a record of the expenditure. When the cash in the fund becomes low, the custodian submits the petty cash tickets for reimbursement or replenishment. A check is issued to Petty Cash for the total of the petty cash tickets. These activities bring the petty cash fund back to the original amount established. Review the Petty Cash Ticket in Exhibit 6-12 (p. 312) and the “Petty Cash” section of the textbook.
5
Explain the reporting of cash on the balance sheet. Cash is the first item on the balance sheet because it is the most liquid asset. It is not uncommon for companies to have more than one bank account or items included in the Cash amount. Cash includes anything that a bank can accept for deposit. Only cash that is unrestricted (available) should be included as Cash. Often, the first item on the balance sheet may be referred to as “Cash and cash equivalents.” Cash equivalents are short-term investments that can be converted into a known amount of cash. These items mature within 90 days of the balance sheet date and may include time deposits, money market funds, certificates of deposit, and U.S. Treasury bills and Treasury notes. Note that stock and bond investments are not cash equivalents. Review the “Reporting Cash on the Balance Sheet” section of the textbook.

3 To prepare the bank reconciliation, we need to make adjustments to both the bank balance and Hunter’s Cash balance. First, we must determine what these adjustments are. The bank reconciliation begins with a column for the bank and a column for the company (Hunter). Put the starting Cash balance for each side at the top. Bank Balance, July 31

A reconciling item arises because a valid transaction has not been recorded by both parties. For example, if the bank records service charges and Hunter does not, a reconciling item is required to bring Hunter’s Cash balance to the correct amount. Each reconciling item will be described in the appropriate column and added or subtracted from the Cash balance of the party that has not yet recorded that transaction/entry.

The bank statement shows three checks; however, only two of them were written by Hunter (the July 8 check for $400 and the July 25 check for $900). The July 10 check for $230 shown on the bank statement is a bank error and does not relate to Hunter. This error needs to be corrected by the bank. (It would be a good idea for Hunter to contact the bank to confirm that it is correcting this mistake.) This correction increases Cash on the bank’s side. The July 30 check for $500 has not yet been recorded by the bank. This outstanding check decreases the bank account when it is recorded. The bank records this check in the (near) future when it is cashed. Bank Balance, July 31

An employee who collects the cash and records the receipt of the cash and performs the bank reconciliation has a substantial opportunity for fraud. The employee could steal the cash and delay recording the cash receipt, or perhaps never record the cash receipt. An employee in such a position could hide this dishonest act for a long period of time by manipulating the bank reconciliations. To avoid this problem, most internal control systems require separation of duties; that is, employees who handle cash (both receipts and payments) are not the same employees who maintain the accounting records and prepare the bank reconciliations.

Demo Doc 2 Petty Cash Learning Objectives 1, 2, 4, 5 Young Brothers established a $300 petty cash fund on July 1, 2008. On July 31, 2008, the petty cash box contained $70 cash and the following receipts: July 5
Travel expenses
$80
July 12
Donuts for board meeting
50
July 23
Office supplies
60
July 29
Delivery charges
40
On August 1, 2008, the petty cash balance was replenished.
Requirements 1. Journalize the entry to establish the fund. 2. What is the total cash amount paid from petty cash in July? Journalize the entry to record the expenses incurred from petty cash during July. (Assume all charges are recorded as office supplies, delivery expense, travel expense, or meals expense.) On what date(s) are these expenses recorded? 3. A Young employee notices that the petty cash has been short several months in a row. Although the amounts involved are small (immaterial), the trend is consistent. What should the employee do? 4. Is petty cash considered to be cash or a cash equivalent?

The receipts in the petty cash box total $80 + $50 + $60 + $40 = $230. This receipt total means that $300 – $230 = $70 should be left in the petty cash box. These expenses are not recorded at the time they are incurred. The amounts involved are immaterial, so instead we can wait to record them until the petty cash is replenished.

It is easy to have cash overages and shortages from month to month. Record keeping for petty cash is often spotty because it is usually handled by someone who is not familiar with accounting. However, consistent shortages every month suggest the possibility of unethical behavior on the part of the petty cash handler. Having someone review petty cash transactions periodically provides a good internal control. The employee who notices this trend should discuss it with the person responsible for petty cash. If the issue cannot be resolved, then the employee should report it to a supervisor. Young could implement some internal controls to better monitor petty cash. These controls could include requiring the use of petty cash tickets with an authorized signature (the person signing would presumably review the receipts for correctness).

Petty cash is actual cash. The only difference between petty cash and a standard Cash T-account is that petty cash is located on the premises of the business rather than in a bank account. Therefore, petty cash is considered to be cash for purposes of balance sheet reporting.

Receivables
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW You probably already know that if a friend borrows money from you, you may not be repaid. You would not loan the money if you didn’t believe that your friend is creditworthy and will likely repay the debt. However, until the money is received, you have no guarantee. If the friend asks to borrow more money before repaying the original loan, you may be more likely to refuse because your risk of nonpayment is increased. Your friend has no history of successful repayment yet. If the friend never pays, you incur a loss equal to the amount of the loan. The same concerns exist for a business. Sales on account are made only after a customer is approved by the business’s credit department. Despite the most thorough investigation, some customers still may not pay the amount due. The uncollectible accounts receivable results in a reduction to the asset and to net income.
Learning Objectives
1
Describe the types of sales and receivables and discuss the related internal controls. By now, you should understand that whether a business sells goods or services, customers may pay in several different ways: Cash, credit, debit, and bank card sales are all possibilities. The account results in a receivable—either an account receivable or a note receivable. One important feature of a strong system of internal control over both collections and credit management is to separate responsibility for the custody of assets from the accounting and operating departments. The individual handling cash should not be granting credit, nor should that person be accounting for receivables. Understanding the main issues associated with extending credit and handling receivables is an important lesson from this chapter.
2
Use the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible receivables. The direct write-off method is simple to employ, but the method is not in accordance with GAAP. No estimate of the uncollectible accounts expense is journalized. When it is determined which customer’s receivable is uncollectible, the following entry is journalized:

Check out “The Direct Write-Off Method” in the main text.
3
Use the allowance method to account for uncollectible receivables. The allowance method matches the sales revenues with the uncollectible accounts expense (also known as the bad debt expense). An estimate of the uncollectible accounts expense must be made in the period of sale using either the aging of receivables or the percent-ofsales methods. The entry required at the end of the period is: Journal Entry:
Date Accounts Uncollectible Accounts Expense Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Post Ref.
Dr.
Cr. X X
The Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is a contra-asset account. This account is credited, rather than Accounts Receivable, because it is unknown on the entry date which specific customers will eventually not pay. When it is determined which customer’s receivable is uncollectible, the Allowance account is reduced (debited) and the specific customer accounts receivable is reduced (credited). Accounting for uncollectibles can be a challenging concept, so be sure that you have a good understanding of this topic before moving on to the next chapter.
4
Account for notes receivable. A note receivable is a formal written promise to pay the amount borrowed by the debtor plus interest. Interest must be journalized for the period of indebtedness. Study the key components of a note in Exhibit 7-7 (p. 364). Review “Computing Interest on a Note”, “Accounting for Notes Receivable”, and “Accruing Interest Revenue” in the main text.
5
Calculate the quick ratio and days’ sales in receivables. A measure of liquidity is the quick ratio (also called the acid-test ratio). The current assets most quickly converted into cash are compared to the total current liabilities. A higher result is usually more favorable. The ratio is calculated as follows: Quick ratio =
Cash ! Short-term investments ! Net current receivables Total current liabilities
The days’ sales in receivables indicate the number of days it takes on average to collect from customers. The objective is to minimize the collection period. Review the ratio computations in “More Ratios for Decision Making” in the main text. 208

Hart is using the allowance method, which is indicated by an allowance for uncollectible accounts. If Hart were using the direct write-off method, Hart would not need an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Gross accounts receivable is the total amount of receivables that exist. For Hart, this amount is $800. The allowance is (by definition) the amount of receivables we do not expect to collect. The total receivables minus the amount we do not expect to collect (that is, the gross accounts receivable minus the allowance) is the amount we do expect to collect (that is, the net accounts receivable). Hart expects to collect $760 of the accounts receivable.
Requirement 2 During 2008, Hart wrote off accounts receivables totaling $35 from Amanda Blake. Journalize these write-offs as one transaction. How does this transaction affect the net accounts receivable balance? How would this transaction have been journalized if the direct-write-off method was being used?

Writing off an account receivable means removing it from the accounting books/records because it has been determined that this specific amount will not be collected. We must reduce (credit) the Accounts Receivable. Additionally, now that we find that one of the accounts will not be collected, we can take it out of our estimate of uncollectible accounts (the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts), which decreases this account (a debit).

From the initial data given in the question, we can see that gross accounts receivable had a balance of $800 at the beginning of the year ($760 is the net balance). Accounts Receivable increased in the year as revenues were earned. Accounts Receivable decreased when uncollectible accounts were written off and when cash was collected. Using this information, we can calculate the ending balance in (gross) Accounts Receivable: Accounts Receivable Dec. 31, 2007 Bal. 2008 Revenues

The problem states, “Hart estimates uncollectible accounts expense to be 1.5% of revenues.” The key phrase here is “1.5% of revenues,” which tells us that Hart is using the percentage-of-sales method to calculate the expense and allowance.

Under the percentage-of-sales method, the percentage of sales equals the uncollectible accounts expense. Therefore, we can calculate that 1.5% of $2,800, or $42, equals the uncollectible accounts expense. We then journalize $42 of Uncollectible Accounts Expense. Journalizing the Uncollectible Accounts Expense increases that account (a debit) and also increases the total estimate of uncollectible accounts: the Allowance (a credit).

Use this standard journal entry format to journalize uncollectible accounts expense and adjust the allowance. The entry structure is always the same, only the amount changes. The balance in the Allowance account must be calculated. The beginning balance in the allowance for 2008 is the ending balance for 2007 (the $40 shown at the beginning of the question, as shown in the balance sheet presentation on p. 209). During the year, write-offs will decrease the allowance ($35, as in Requirement 2) and the year-end adjustment will increase it ($42, as in this requirement). We can fill in this information to calculate an ending balance of $47 in the Allowance account.

The problem does not explicitly state which method is being used; however, the table clearly shows estimated uncollectible percentages of accounts receivable. This information shows us that Hart is using the aging-of-accounts receivable method to calculate the allowance and then the expense. Under the aging-of-accounts receivables method, the percentage of receivables equals the ending balance in the allowance. Therefore, we can calculate that (2% × $100) + (4% × $500) + (10% × $220) = $44, which is the required (or target) ending balance in the allowance. Gross Accounts Age < 30 days

We need an additional credit in the T-account to make it balance (to make the total correct). We can use the $44 ending balance in the T-account (along with the beginning balance of $40, the write-offs of $35, and the $5 credit balance) to calculate the uncollectible accounts expense of $39.

So for Hart: Days’ sales in average 1/2 # ($760 ! $776) # 365 days accounts receivable " $2,800 " (1/2 # $1,536) # 365 days $2,800 " $768 # 365 days $2,800 " $280,320 $2,800 Days’ sales in average accounts receivable = 100.1 days

If an employee collects the cash and journalizes the receipt of the cash and updates the accounts receivable ledger, the opportunity for fraud increases greatly. The employee could steal the cash and delay journalizing the cash receipt, or perhaps never journalize the cash receipt. The employee could also hide this dishonest act for a long period of time by manipulating the accounts receivable ledger. To avoid this problem, most internal control systems require separation of duties; that is, employees who handle cash (both receipts and payments) are not the same employees who maintain the accounting records.

By this time, the note has been outstanding for two months, which means interest has been incurred on the note. The amount of interest incurred is calculated as: Interest " Amount # Annual interest # Time elapsed incurred of debt rate (in years)
So in this case: Interest " $1,800 incurred
#
10%
#
2 months 12 months
" $30
Note that all interest rates given are assumed to be annual rates, unless specifically stated otherwise. Donald earned interest revenue (a credit) of $30. Because the cash has not yet been received, we must also set up an Interest Receivable account (a debit) of $30. Donald: Journal Entry: Date Accounts Dec. 31 Interest Receivable (Asset,1; credit) Interest Revenue ($1,800 ! 10% ! 2/12) (Revenue,1; debit)

February 1, 2009 Paid note and interest in full. On this day, the note and interest are fully paid. For Donald, Notes Receivable is decreased (a credit) by $1,800. Additionally, Donald receives the interest accrued on December 31, so Interest Receivable is decreased (a credit) by $30. However, more interest is involved. Donald also earned interest between December 31 and February 1 (one month): Interest " $1,800 incurred

So Donald journalizes Interest Revenue (a credit) of $15. All of these amounts are being paid in cash, so Donald’s Cash account is increased (a debit) by $1,800 + $30 + $15 = $1,845 (the maturity value). Donald:

Inventory
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW Assume that you want to invest in the stock market. You purchase 100 shares of a stock mutual fund in January at $24 per share, another 100 shares in February at $27 per share, and another 100 shares in April at $30 per share. In December, you decide to sell 200 shares of stock to purchase a used car. The market value of the stock at the date of sale is $35 per share. You know that you will receive $7,000 (200 shares × $35/share) and that the market price of the shares is higher than what you paid, so you have a gain. To compute the amount of the gain you will have to report on your tax return, you must determine the cost of the shares. Because purchases were made over a period of time at several different prices, how is the cost computed for the 200 shares sold? Can we assume that the shares sold were the first 100 shares we purchased at $24 per share plus the next 100 shares purchased at $27 per share for a total cost of $5,100, that is, (100 shares × $24) + (100 shares × $27)? Can we calculate the cost using an average? Yes, either of these methods is allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. The same problem exists for businesses in determining the cost of the inventory units sold when the unit cost varies. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) also allows a choice from several methods to calculate the cost of goods sold.
Learning Objectives
1
Describe inventory and discuss the related internal controls. Recall from Chapter 5 that Inventory is the account that holds the cost of goods purchased for resale, not for use, by the business. This chapter deals with inventory of retail businesses. It is important that inventory is the subject of internal controls to account for any discrepancies between the physical count of inventory and its value in the accounting records. Carefully review the inventory shrinkage and internal controls sections of the main textbook, especially Exhibit 8-2 (p. 408).
2
Compute inventory costs using first-in, first-out (FIFO), last-in, first-out (LIFO), and average cost methods and journalize inventory transactions. The inventory cost method selected for use is an assumed outflow of goods to determine the cost of goods sold expense and ending inventory; the actual physical outflow of goods sold may differ. FIFO is a popular method that assumes the oldest goods are sold first, leaving the newest goods in ending inventory. LIFO is the opposite assumption;
HarrCh08v1.qxd
10/23/06
9:13 AM
Page 246
it assumes that the newest goods are sold first, leaving the oldest goods in ending inventory. Average cost assumes that the goods sold as well as those in ending inventory have the same cost. Review the inventory records and journal entries for these methods in Exhibits 8-5 (p. 413) and 8-7 through 8-9 (pp. 414–416).
3
Compare the effects of the different costing methods on the financial statements. The cost of goods sold will usually be different for each of the methods. In times of inflation, FIFO will result in higher net income and higher ending inventory amounts than LIFO. The average method falls between FIFO and LIFO results. Review the comparative results of these methods in Exhibits 8-10 and 8-11 (p. 417).
4
Apply the lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) rule to value inventory The inventory amount on the balance sheet is reduced to the market value if that amount is lower than the cost. This rule is an application of the conservatism concept. Review the “Lower-of Cost-or-Market Rule” section in the main text. Note the required journal entry and balance sheet presentation.
5
Report inventory on the balance sheet and measure the effect of inventory errors. When measuring the effects of inventory errors, it is helpful to remember that: Cost of Goods Sold ! Cost of Ending Inventory " Cost of Goods Available
The cost of goods available is a defined amount. Therefore, if the cost of ending inventory is understated, the cost of goods sold must be overstated by the same amount to compensate for the error. The reverse is also true; if the cost of ending inventory is overstated, the cost of goods sold will be understated by the same amount to compensate for the error. Understating ending inventory results in an understatement of net income. The reverse is also true; overstating ending inventory results in an overstatement of net income. The ending inventory for one period becomes the beginning inventory for the next. An error in ending inventory is carried over into the succeeding period. Whatever effect the ending inventory error had on the income statement in the initial period causes the opposite effect on net income in the next period.
Review the impact of ending inventory errors in Exhibit 8-13 through 8-15 (pp. 421–422).
6
Estimate ending inventory by the gross profit method. Sometimes a business may need to estimate its ending inventory. When a natural disaster occurs and inventory is destroyed, an estimate must be determined for insurance purposes. The gross profit method is used in this type of case. Review the gross profit method of estimating inventory in Exhibits 8-16 and 8-17. (pp. 423–424).

Under LIFO, the newest units are sold first. We must track each sale individually as it is made under the perpetual recording system. Such a system prevents us from selling units that we have not yet acquired.

Under the average cost method, we need to calculate the average cost per unit with every sale. The first sale was in May. At that time in inventory, we had: 400 units # $2 per unit
"
$800
200 units # $3 per unit
"
$600
600 units
$1,400
So at this time, the average cost per unit was: Average Cost per Unit Average Cost per Unit
"
"
Cost of Units in Inventory Units in Inventory $1.400 600 units
"
$2.33 per unit
The COGS for the May sale is: 160 units × $2.33 per unit " $373
We have 600 units – 160 units = 440 units left in inventory at $2.33 per unit = $1,025.

Page 262
For the different methods, we have the following COGS: FIFO
$1,480
LIFO
$1,640
Average cost
$1,587
Of these, FIFO is the lowest and LIFO is the highest. Note that FIFO and LIFO will usually be the extremes, with average cost somewhere in the middle. FIFO gives the lowest COGS, which means that it gives the highest gross profit. You can see this result in Requirement 2. Therefore, FIFO would maximize net income. LIFO gives the highest COGS, which means that it gives the lowest gross profit. You can also see this result in Requirement 2. LIFO minimizes net income, which in turn minimizes income taxes. Note that if prices are decreasing over time (such as for high-tech items that quickly become obsolete), then the reverse of this analysis is true (FIFO gives highest COGS).
Requirement 4 Presume that Collins is using FIFO. The ending inventory has a market price of $4.50 per unit. Calculate the lower-of-cost-or-market and make any necessary adjustment.

We already determined that 330 units remain in ending inventory. Under FIFO, the cost of these units is $1,570. The market price of these units is: 330 units × $4.50 per unit " $1,485
If cost is $1,570 and market is $1,485, the lower-of-cost-or-market is $1,485 (the market value of the inventory). The balance in the Inventory T-account is currently the cost of $1,570. Therefore, Inventory must be decreased to the market value of $1,485. So Inventory is decreased (credit) by: $1,570 – $1,485 " $85
The other side of the journal entry is an adjustment to COGS. This entry will have to be a debit to balance out the credit to inventory.

On December 31, 2008, Talon Corp.’s warehouse and accounting records were destroyed in a flood. For insurance purposes, Talon must estimate the value of the inventory lost. Through records from their bank and suppliers, Talon compiled the following information: Sales revenue for 2008
$20,000
Inventory at December 31, 2007
$ 6,000
Inventory purchases for 2008
$23,000
Talon has historically had a gross profit rate of 10%.
Requirements 1. Estimate Talon’s ending inventory value for 2008 using the gross profit method. 2. Assume that the actual value of inventory lost was $12,000. What is Talon’s true COGS? Is COGS overstated or understated? How will the value of COGS affect Talon’s estimate of net income for 2008?

Part 2
The gross profit method uses the COGS formula: COGS
"
Beginning Inventory
Inventory Purchases
!
–
Ending Inventory
We are given information about purchases and beginning inventory, but to calculate ending inventory, we will need an estimate for COGS. The formula for the gross profit percentage is: Gross Profit Percentage
"
Gross Profit Sales Revenue
"
Sales – COGS Sales
So we know that 10% = ($20,000 – COGS)/$20,000. 10%
"
$20,000 – COGS $20,000
From this, we can calculate COGS = $18,000. Using this figure in the COGS formula: $18,000 " $6,000 ! $23,000 – Ending Inventory $11,000 " Ending Inventory
Requirement 2 Assume that the actual value of inventory lost was $12,000.What is Talon’s true COGS? Is COGS overstated or understated? How will the value of COGS affect Talon’s estimate of net income for 2008?

Using the actual value of $12,000 for ending inventory, we can recalculate COGS as: COGS " $6,000 ! $23,000 – $12,000 " $17,000
Because Talon is estimating COGS of $18,000, COGS is overstated by: $18,000 – $17,000 " $1,000
If Talon uses the wrong COGS number of $18,000 to calculate net income, then net income will be understated by $1,000. Part 1 264

F
1. Under FIFO, the ending inventory cost comes from the oldest purchases. False–FIFO leaves in ending inventory the last or newest costs. (p. 412)
T
2. FIFO is the opposite of LIFO. (p. 413)
T
3. The LIFO method can result in misleading inventory costs on the balance sheet because the oldest prices are left in ending inventory. (p. 417)

Long-Term Assets: Plant Assets and Intangibles
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW You probably already know that when you decide to get a car, you must decide whether you want to purchase or lease it. If you lease a car, you pay a monthly amount for the use of that vehicle, which is a benefit or expense to you. If you purchase a car for cash instead, you still receive a monthly benefit, although you make no future payments. The benefit or cost incurred is called depreciation expense. The more a car is used, the less remaining future value can be derived from that asset. In business, the asset is reduced for the loss in usefulness or future benefit as the asset is used.
Learning Objectives
1
Define and describe the life cycle of long-term assets. As you learned in Chapter 3 a long-term asset is defined as a long-lived, asset—one that will generally be used by the business for longer than one year. Long-term assets include plant assets, such as land, buildings, equipment, and natural resources. Long-term assets can also be intangible assets, such as rights, patents, and trademarks. Because such assets have future service potential over the life of the asset, a portion of its cost is expensed against the revenues earned from its use over time. Remember that accounting covers the stages of the life of a plant asset: acquisition (make-ready costs), ownership (expenditures and depreciation), and disposal (sell, trade in, or junk the asset), and various factors affect the costs associated with each stage. Review Exhibit 9-1 (p. 471) for factors that affect long-term assets.
2
Calculate and record the cost to acquire plant assets. The cost of a plant asset should include all of the necessary costs to acquire the asset and get it ready for use. In addition to the purchase price of the plant asset, other items that may be necessary and would increase the cost amount of the asset are shown in Exhibit 9-2 (p. 472) of the main textbook. If discounts are available and taken advantage of, those amounts would reduce the cost of the plant asset. Review Exhibit 9-2 for examples of items that are considered in the cost of plant assets. Review the section “A Lump-Sum (Basket) Purchase of Assets” in the main text to see how the cost of individual plant assets is determined when a single price is charged for the group.
3
Calculate and record depreciation of plant assets. Depreciation is the allocation of cost over a plant asset’s useful life. The expense of depreciation is matched against the revenue generated, as shown in Exhibit 9-4 (p. 476). The three most popular methods of
HarrCh09v1.qxd
10/23/06

Page 286
depreciation are straight-line, units-of-production, and double-decliningbalance. The adjusting entry to depreciate any plant asset is to debit Depreciation Expense and credit Accumulated Depreciation. Three elements necessary to calculate depreciation are: a. Asset cost: known amount on the books b. Estimated useful life: period of asset usefulness c. Estimated residual value: expected value at the end of the useful life
Review “Depreciation Methods” in the main text for examples of the various depreciation methods.
4
Calculate and record the disposal of plant assets. When a plant asset is sold, it should be depreciated until the date of disposal. To account for an asset’s disposal, you would debit the cash or other proceeds received, debit the accumulated depreciation, and credit the plant asset cost. The difference between the asset cost and accumulated depreciation is book value. If the book value is greater than the proceeds, a debit must also be recorded as a loss on disposal. If the book value is less than the proceeds, a credit must also be recorded as a gain on disposal. A plant asset may also be exchanged for a new asset. The book value of the old asset is removed as already described. The cash paid on exchange is credited and the market value of the new asset is debited. Any difference between the market value of the new asset and the book value of the old asset plus cash paid is the gain or loss. Review the related examples in “Disposing of a Plant Asset” in the main text.
5
Calculate and record depletion of natural resources. Natural resources are long-term assets that include iron ore, natural gas, and timber. As the inventory of the iron, gas, or other natural resource is used up, it is considered to be depleted. The depletion entry is similar to depreciation (debit Depletion Expense and credit Accumulated Depletion). The depletion amount is determined using the units-of-production formula. Accumulated Depletion is a contra-asset account like Accumulated Depreciation. Review “Accounting for Natural Resources” in the main text.
6
Account for intangible assets. Intangible assets are rights that provide future value or benefit to the organization. Patents, copyrights, franchises, and trademarks are examples of these assets. Those intangible assets with a defined useful life are amortized by the straight-line method. The entry to amortize the intangible asset is to debit Amortization Expense and credit the intangible asset account. Goodwill represents the excess of the amount paid to purchase a company over the equity of the company. Goodwill is not amortized but may need to be written down due to a loss of value. Review “Accounting for Intangibles,” especially the treatment of goodwill, in the main text.
7
Report long-term assets on the balance sheet. Review Exhibit 9-11 (p. 491) to see how plant and intangible assets are presented on the balance sheet.

Peters Corp. purchased a truck for $13,800 cash on January 1, 2008. Peters also had to pay taxes of $1,200 cash. The truck had a residual value of $1,000 and a useful life of 7 years or 100,000 miles driven. Peters has a December 31 year-end. The truck was driven for 15,000 miles in 2008, 12,000 miles in 2009, and 17,000 miles in 2010.
Requirements 1. Calculate the total cost of the truck. 2. Calculate the depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation balance at December 31, 2008, 2009, and 2010, using the straight-line, units-ofproduction, and double-declining-balance methods. 3. Using the double-declining-balance method only, show how the truck account would look on the December 31 balance sheet for 2008, 2009, and 2010. 4. Which of the three methods maximizes income for 2008? Which method minimizes income taxes for 2008? 5. Peters sold the truck on September 1, 2011, for $7,000 cash. Journalize the sale transaction using each method. (The truck was driven for 8,000 miles in 2011.)

The total cost of the truck is the total cost to make it ready for use. Any expenditure that must be paid in order to use the asset is part of the asset’s total cost. In this case, the truck cannot be used until the taxes are paid on the truck. Therefore, the taxes are added to the total cost of the truck. Purchase price

Straight-Line Method The straight-line method allocates an equal amount of depreciation over the useful life. Straight-line depreciation is calculated as: Cost ! Residual Value Years of Useful Life
"
Annual Depreciation Expense
Remember that cost minus residual value is sometimes called depreciable cost because it is the total depreciation that will be recorded over the asset’s life. At the end of the asset’s life, the book value equals the residual value. In this particular question: $15, 000 ! $1, 000 7 years
"
xpense per Year $2, 000 Depreciation Ex
Remember that the depreciation expense will be the same for each year. Depreciation expense does not change (unless the asset is used for a partial year, as demonstrated in Requirement 5 of this question). This is why the method is called straight-line: Because if the annual depreciation expense were charted on a graph, it would be a straight line. 288

Depreciation Expense in 2008 " Depreciation Expense in 2009 " Depreciation Expense in 2010 " $2,000
Accumulated depreciation is the total of all the depreciation expense that the company has accumulated up to a certain time. In other words, it is the sum of the depreciation expense in every year that has passed. You can use a T-account to calculate accumulated depreciation each year: Accumulated Depreciation, Truck 12/31/08 2,000 2008 Bal. 2,000 12/31/09 2,000 2009 Bal. 4,000 12/31/10 2,000 2010 Bal. 6,000
So in 2008, accumulated depreciation is the 2008 depreciation expense (because it is the only year of depreciation so far), which equals $2,000. In 2009, accumulated depreciation is the sum of the 2008 and 2009 depreciation expense, or $2,000 + $2,000 = $4,000. In 2010, accumulated depreciation is the sum of the 2008, 2009, and 2010 depreciation expense: $2,000 + $2,000 + $2,000 = $6,000. If you want to make things a little easier on yourself, instead of adding up all of the accumulated depreciation from scratch, you can instead add the current year’s depreciation expense to the prior balance. In other words: Accumulated Depreciation This Year " Accumulated Depreciation Last Year # This Year’s Depreciation Expense
The 2009 accumulated depreciation is $4,000, plus $2,000 depreciation expense for 2010 equals $6,000 accumulated depreciation for 2010. The truck’s book value is its cost minus its accumulated depreciation. This net value (that is, book value) is shown for the truck on the balance sheet.

Units-of-Production Method The unit method is similar to the straight-line method, but instead of calculating depreciation expense per year, we calculate it per unit. It allocates an equal amount of depreciation for each unit of production. Notice how the formula is similar to the straight-line method: Cost " Residual Value Units of Production in Useful Life
!
Depreciation Expense per Unit
Or, in this particular question: $15,000 – $1,000 100,000 miles
!
$0.14 Depreciation Expense per Actual Mile Driven
Because a different number of miles is driven every year, the annual depreciation expense will be different from year to year; however, the depreciation rate per unit (mile) remains constant. Units of production is another way of measuring an asset’s life or productivity. For example, we could say that a machine will last for 5 years, or we might say that it will have 50,000 hours of operation. Both statements are reasonable ways to express how long the machine will last. The straight-line method focuses on the years (for example, 5 years of life) and the unit method focuses on the production (such as the 50,000 hours). Assessing the situation will indicate whether any ways can be used to measure an asset’s life other than by years. In this question, the miles driven were highlighted and are the only other measure of asset life we can use for this particular situation. Under the unit method, we calculate depreciation as: Depreciation Expense Depreciation Expense ! Units Used This Year # This Year Unit
So, in this question, we can calculate depreciation expense on the truck each year as:
Actual
Rate
Annual Expense
2008
15,000 miles × $0.14 per mile = $2,100
2009
12,000 miles × $0.14 per mile = $1,680
2010
17,000 miles × $0.14 per mile = $2,380
We calculate accumulated depreciation the same way we did for the straight-line method (only the depreciation expense is calculated differently from method to method). We can use a T-account to calculate accumulated depreciation each year: Accumulated Depreciation, Truck 12/31/08 2,100 2008 Bal. 2,100 12/31/09 1,680 2009 Bal. 3,780 12/31/10 2,380 2010 Bal. 6,160 290

Double-Declining-Balance Method This method is somewhat more complicated than straight-line or units-of-production depreciation. It allocates more depreciation in the early years than in the later years. Instead of a set depreciation amount, we use a depreciation rate: Double-Declining-Balance (DDB) Depreciation Rate " 2/Years of Useful Life
1
Define and describe the life cycle of longterm assets
3
Calculate and record depreciation of plant assets
Or, in this particular question: DDB rate " 2/7
You may notice that the years of useful life is the same denominator as we used in the straight-line method. For this reason, the method is called doubledeclining-balance: it is two times the amount used for straight-line (that is, 2 × 1/years of useful life). To get the depreciation expense each year, we need to use the following formula: This Year’s Depreciation Expense " Book Value × Depreciation Rate
where Book Value " Cost – Last Year’s Accumulated Depreciation
Sometimes the cost – last year’s accumulated depreciation is called the net value of the asset. You will see why in Requirement 3 of this question. Because the accumulated depreciation is used in the depreciation expense formula, we need to calculate both together every year; however, the methods we can use to calculate accumulated depreciation are the same as before.

It is important to keep an eye on accumulated depreciation with the doubledeclining-balance method. Remember, we did not use the residual value to calculate depreciation expense. However, we need to ensure that the book value of the asset does not go below the residual value. When the book value of the asset reaches the residual value, we stop taking depreciation expense (even if the asset is still being used).

Double-declining-balance

Revenues – Expenses " Net Income
So higher expense (holding revenue constant) gives a lower net income. In this example, the straight-line method has the lowest depreciation expense, which means that it has the highest net income. The double-declining-balance method has the highest depreciation expense, which means that it has the lowest net income, and therefore the lowest income taxes. Demo Doc 1 Solutions | Chapter 9

Calculate and record the disposal of plant assets
When an asset is sold, we must journalize that sale. However, before we journalize the disposal, we must update the depreciation on the asset. Depreciation represents the portion (the benefit) of the asset that has been used. The truck was sold on September 1, which means that Peters got to use it for 8 months of 2011 before it was sold. We must represent that use as depreciation expense. The depreciation expense that we record for 8 months is not the same as the amount we would record for an entire year, because it is a shorter period of time (and therefore the asset was used less). Therefore, we must calculate a partial year’s depreciation. Under straight-line depreciation, the annual depreciation expense is $2,000 (that is, for 12 months). So for 8 months: 8 months 2011 Depreciation " $1,333 " $2,000 $ Expense 12 months
This depreciation would then be recorded as:
Journal Entry: Date Accounts Sept. 1 Depreciation Expense Accumulated Depreciation, Truck
Post Ref.
Dr. 1,333
Cr. 1,333
This amount for 2011 brings the total accumulated depreciation to: $6,000 # $1,333 " $7,333.
Now we can record the sale of the truck. Cash was received, so it increases (a debit) by $7,000. The truck has been sold, so that account decreases to a zero balance (a credit) by $15,000. The Accumulated Depreciation goes along with it (contraaccounts always go with their associated account), so that account decreases to a zero balance (a debit) as well by $7,333.

Obviously, the entry is not complete because it does not balance. In order to get it to balance, we need equal debits and credits, which means that we need a $15,000 – $7,000 – $7,333 = $667 debit for the entry to work. This $667 is the balancing amount. It is either a gain on sale or a loss on sale. Because the balancing amount is a debit, it is a loss (an increase in expenses is a debit, which is like a loss). So the completed entry is:

Notice that we did not need to multiply by 8/12 like we did in the straight-line method because the short period of use is already incorporated into the 8,000 miles.

Cash was received, so it increases (a debit) by $7,000. The truck has been sold, so that account decreases to a zero balance (a credit) by $15,000. Accumulated Depreciation decreases to a zero balance (a debit) by $7,280. These amounts are shown in the following journal entry:

In order to get it to balance, we need a $15,000 – $7,000 – $7,280 = $720 debit. Because the balancing amount is a debit, it is a loss (an increase in expenses is a debit, which is like a loss).

Xander Inc. purchased a coal mine for $900 million cash on January 1, 2008. After the purchase, an independent analyst determined that the value of the land was $200 million and that the value of the coal was $800 million (based on an estimate of 20 million tons of coal below the ground). In 2008, Xander mined and sold 1 million tons of coal.
Requirements 1. Give Xander’s journal entry to record the purchase of the mine. 2. Give Xander’s journal entry to record depletion expense for 2008.

Part 2
Xander purchased two assets at one time for one price. In this lump-sum purchase, we need to determine how much of the purchase price to allocate to each asset. Making this distinction is important because it affects depletion calculations in the future (because the cost of the asset is an important number in these calculations). We use the independent valuations to determine a proportional value for the assets. According to the analyst, the total value of the assets purchased is: $200 million # $800 million " $1 billion
Land has a proportion of 200,000,000/1,000,000,000 = 20%. The coal has a proportion of 800,000,000/1,000,000,000 = 80%. The cost of each asset is assigned as this proportion of the total cost. So the cost of the land is: 20% × $900 million total cost " $180 million
The cost of the coal is: 80% × $900 million total cost " $720 million
In the journal entry, Land and Coal Reserves are increased (debited) by these amounts and Cash is decreased (credit).

Depletion expense is the same as depreciation expense, except that this term is only used for natural resource assets. Depletion is always calculated using the units-of-production method (never the straight-line or double-declining-balance methods). The units are the amount of natural resources purchased. In this case, the units are tons of coal. Cost Units of Prod duction in Useful Life $720,000,000 20,000,000 tons

When we journalize depreciation, we increase (debit) Depreciation Expense and increase (credit) Accumulated Depreciation. The entry for depletion is the same, except that we use Depletion Expense (debit) and Accumulated Depletion (credit).

On July 1, 2008, Franco Co. acquired a patent from Juarez Inc. for $5,000 cash and by signing a $10,000, 6% note payable. Franco believes that the patent will have a life of 10 years. On the same date, Franco purchased all outstanding shares of Germano Inc. for $50,000. The book value of Germano’s net assets at this time was $35,000 and the market value was $40,000.
Requirements 1. Journalize Franco’s purchase of the patent. What kind of asset is the patent? Why do you think so? 2. Journalize Franco’s amortization expense for the patent in 2008. 3. Franco did not make any interest payments on the note in 2008. Journalize Franco’s interest expense for the year. 4. Calculate the amount of goodwill that will be recorded for Franco as a result of the Germano purchase. 5.

Intangible assets are amortized. Amortization is essentially the same process as depreciation for tangible assets. The only difference is that for intangible assets, we usually do not keep an Accumulated Amortization account, but instead directly reduce the asset account. Amortization expense is usually calculated using the straight-line method.

Current Liabilities and Payroll
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW You probably already know that as an employee, you do not receive in your paycheck an amount equal to the number of hours worked times your hourly rate. The total that you earn is called gross pay, which is the amount before withholdings are deducted. You probably noticed that money is withheld for federal income tax, social security tax, Medicare tax, and state income tax, if applicable in your state. You did not request that these amounts be deducted; they are required withholdings that your employer must make. Your employer does not keep this money; it is remitted to the appropriate taxing agencies. When you receive your W-2 form by January 31 of the succeeding year, you can see that you are given credit for the amount of these taxes your employer withheld on your behalf. In this chapter, we will see how your employer accounts for your paycheck.
Learning Objectives
1
Account for current liabilities of known amount. Some current liabilities that are recorded at known amounts include accounts payable, short-term notes payable, sales tax payable, current portion of long-term notes payable, accrued expenses or liabilities, and unearned or deferred revenues. Review the “Current Liabilities of Known Amount” section of the textbook, and be sure to take note of the presentation of current liabilities in the balance sheet for Bob’s Sporting Goods on page 524.
2
Account for estimated and contingent liabilities. Sometimes a liability has been incurred but the amount is uncertain. An example of this would be the estimated warranty payable that manufacturers may report as a liability. A contingent liability is only a possible obligation that may occur depending upon future events or circumstances. A lawsuit is an example of a contingent liability. Review Exhibit 10-2 (p. 529) for contingent liability classifications and treatments.
3
Calculate the current ratio and working capital. The current ratio and working capital are two key measures of liquidity. The current ratio indicates the amount of current assets available for each dollar of current liabilities. A higher ratio is usually considered preferable. Working capital = current assets – current liabilities. A larger amount of working capital is usually considered preferable; certainly current assets should exceed current liabilities.

9:17 AM
Page 332
4
Calculate payroll amounts. The gross pay is the total amount earned by the employee and includes such items as the salary amount, hourly pay rate multiplied by the hours worked, commissions, bonuses, and overtime. Net pay is the amount the employee receives, which is equal to the gross pay less withholdings. Payroll deductions may include income taxes withheld, social security (FICA) tax, insurance premiums, retirement savings, and charitable contributions. Review “Accounting for Payroll” in the main text.
5
Describe the payroll process. A number of documents are involved in a payroll system. Some of these documents include time cards or time sheets, payroll tax forms, W-2 Employee Wage and Tax statements, and the employee earnings record. The employer files a payroll tax form with the state and federal governments. It includes information such as gross wages, income taxes withheld, and Social Security and Medicare taxes. An employee earnings record contains all of the payroll information from gross pay to net pay, by employee. This record is used by the employer to prepare the W-2 forms, Employee Wage and Tax Statements. Both the employee and IRS receive copies of this form for income tax filing.
Review the payroll documents in Exhibits 10-6, 10-9 and 10-10. (pp. 535, 537, and 538). A payroll register contains all of the payroll information for each employee on each pay date. Review the payroll register in Exhibit 10-7 (p. 536).
6
Record basic payroll transactions. To record the periodic payroll, gross pay is debited to Salary Expense. All of the amounts withheld and the net pay due to the employees are credited to current liability accounts. Employers are also liable for payroll taxes. FICA and state and federal unemployment payroll tax expenses are incurred by employers and must be paid. Most employers offer their employees some benefits such as health insurance or retirement benefits. Similar to the gross payroll and payroll taxes, the benefits are additional expenses to the employer. Review the “Payroll Entries” section of the main textbook, particularly the journal entries involved.
7
Report current liabilities on the balance sheet. Review the current liabilities section of the balance sheet at Exhibit 10-11 (p. 542).

Freddie Enterprises sells products with one-year warranties included in the selling price. During August 2008, Freddie sold goods for $250,000 cash. These goods cost $180,000 to manufacture. Freddie is required by law to collect 7% sales tax on all sales. Freddie estimates warranty costs to be 1.5% of the selling price. During August 2008, Freddie made $3,000 of repairs under warranty (paid in cash to a repair service). On August 31, 2008, Freddie remitted all sales tax collected in August to the state government.
Requirements 1. Journalize all of Freddie’s transactions in the month of August 2008. 2. Is sales tax payable a contingent liability? Why or why not? 3. Is estimated warranty payable a contingent liability? Why or why not? 4. At August 31, 2008, the only other current liability Freddie had was accounts payable of $1,000. Current assets were $1,900.

Freddie sold $250,000 worth of products, which increases Sales Revenue (a credit) by $250,000. However, the cash that Freddie collected was more than $250,000 because it included the sales tax. Freddie collected $250,000 × (1 + 7%) = $267,500 cash from the customer. The $250,000 × 7% = $17,500 Freddie collected in sales tax is not revenue because it was not earned by Freddie and does not belong to Freddie. These taxes belong to the government and are owed/payable by Freddie to the government. Therefore, we increase (a credit) the Sales Tax Payable account by $17,500.

When the liability is journalized, so is the Estimated Warranty Expense (a debit) of $3,750. This journal entry is an example of good matching (as required by the matching principle under GAAP) because the expense is recorded at the same time as the sales revenue, not when the actual cost is incurred.

During August 2008, Freddie made $3,000 of repairs under warranty (paid in cash to a repair service). When Freddie Enterprises makes warranty repairs, it is meeting its warranty obligation (that is, it is reducing its warranty liability). These repairs decrease Estimated Warranty Payable (a debit) by $3,000. Because the repairs were paid for in cash, the Cash account also decreases (a credit) by $3,000. Notice that the Warranty Expense account is not affected by the repairs. The expense was already journalized at the time of sale. To debit it again now would be double-counting the expense.

Note that $3,750 – $3,000 = $750 is left in the Estimated Warranty Payable account. This amount remains to cover any future repairs that might be made under the warranty. On August 31, 2008, Freddie remitted all sales tax collected in August to the state government. In the first transaction, Freddie collected $17,500 in sales tax (7% of the sale of $250,000 worth of products). Sales tax payable is just like any other payable account: As payments are made, both Cash and the payable decrease. Demo Doc 1 Solutions | Chapter 10

The estimated warranty payable is an estimate. It is not known for sure whether the products will break down, or how much it might cost to repair them if they do. For this reason, estimated warranty payable is a contingent liability because it depends upon the performance of the products after they leave Freddie’s control. Because payment for warranty repairs is probable and estimable, warranty expense and estimated warranty payable are recorded in a journal entry, even though they are contingent upon outside events.

Of the $400,000 note, payments totaling $25,000 × 12 = $300,000 will be repaid within the next year. This $300,000 is the current portion of the note because it will be repaid within the next year. The remaining $400,000 – $300,000 = $100,000 will be repaid in more than one year, so it is the long-term portion of the note.

The $355,000 cash amount is often referred to as “take home pay” because it is the amount the employees actually receive (that is, take home) on their paychecks. Note that Gannon is not paying these taxes out of its own pocket. It is using money that has been held back from employee paychecks to make these payments. The taxes withheld by Gannon are similar to the treatment of sales taxes payable. Gannon has the cash for them (because Gannon never paid this cash to the employees, but withheld it instead) and will pass it on to the appropriate agencies in the near future just as sales taxes collected are journalized as a payable and passed on to the state government.

Corporations and Stockholders’ Equity
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW You probably already know that you can purchase shares of a company’s stock as an investment. CNBC shows the trading price of various stocks as they take place, and the daily prices are reported in your financial newspapers. Much of the trading taking place is between investors rather than from the issuing corporation. One way that a corporation issues its shares of stock is in an initial public offering (IPO). A recent popular IPO is Google. Google was doing business for six years before its founders took the company public in August 2004. The IPO provided investors an opportunity to purchase Google stock at a stated offer price of $85 a share. The market price of the stock rose quickly in trading and a year and a half after the IPO, the stock traded at more than $300 per share. The cash received from the sale of the Google stock and the shareholders’ equity interest was recorded on the books of Google Corporation. In this chapter, we will see how to account for the equity transactions of a corporation.
Learning Objectives
1
Compare the three forms of business organization. As we know from Chapter 1, the three forms of business organization are a proprietorship, a partnership, or a corporation. Even though the three forms share some similarities, each has its own set of characteristics in terms of organizational structure, ability to raise capital, owner involvement in management, and other key areas. Review Exhibit 11-1 (p. 571) carefully for a comparison of the three forms of organizations.
2
Describe stockholders’ equity and classes of stock. The two main segments of stockholders’ equity are paid-in capital (amounts received from stockholders) and retained earnings (earned from profitable operations). Retained Earnings, which usually carries a credit balance, holds the accumulated earnings or losses of the business, and it is from this account where distributions of earnings (dividends) are taken, thereby reducing the size of the company. Remember, retained earnings are the cumulative profits earned and kept by the business. The main categories of paid-in capital—the two basic classes of stock—are preferred stock and common stock. Common stock, the main source of paidin capital, is issued by every corporation. In a corporation, the common stockholders are the owners of the business and have all of the four basic rights of stockholders. Owners of preferred stock also have the four basic
1eSG_C11_0131792075.QXD
10/23/06
9:30 AM
Page 370
rights, but some rights, such as the right to vote, are sometimes withheld. Preferred stock dividends, while paid before common stock dividends, are also usually fixed. Just like common stock, dividends must be declared by the board of directors for the entity to be legally liable. Preferred stockholders also have the advantage of receiving assets before the common stockholders if the corporation should ever liquidate. Review the “Stockholders’ Equity” and “Classes of Stock” sections of the main text, as well as Exhibit 11-5 (p. 581) to see how the distribution of dividends between common and preferred shareholders works.
3
Record the issuance of stock. When a company incorporates, the par or stated value, if any, will be indicated in the articles of incorporation. The par or stated value is usually a nominal amount assigned to a share of stock that represents the minimum legal stated capital. It does not indicate the value or worth of the stock. When the stock is sold by the corporation, the Common Stock account is credited for the par or stated value. Usually, the stock is sold above par, which is considered a premium. The excess of the stock sales price over the par or stated value is the amount credited to the equity account, Paid-In Capital in Excess of Part. Review the accounting for stock issuances under “Issuing Stock” in the main text.
4
Account for cash dividends. If the board of directors declares dividends, Retained Earnings is decreased (a debit) and Dividends Payable is increased (a credit). On the date of payment, the liability is decreased (a debit) and Cash is also decreased (a credit). The date of record, which falls between the dates of declaration and payment, merely identifies the stockholders who are entitled to receive the dividend. No journal entry needs to be made on that date. Read “Accounting for Cash Dividends” in the main text to review the significance and accounting of each of the dividend dates. Review “Dividends on Cumulative and Noncumulative Preferred Stock” to learn about the effect these characteristics have on dividend payments.
5
Account for stock dividends and stock splits. The board of directors may declare a stock dividend instead of a cash dividend. A stock dividend gives each shareholder more shares of stock based upon the number of shares currently owned. A stock split increases the number of shares issued and outstanding and reduces the par or stated value proportionately. A 3-for-1 split means that each shareholder receives 2 more shares for each 1 currently held, and the par or stated value is 1/3 of the amount before the split. No journal entry is required for a stock split because the change has no impact on the financial position of the company. A stock dividend increases (credits) the Common Stock and Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par accounts for the additional shares issued. The dividend, a return of equity to the shareholders, also decreases (debits) Retained Earnings. Review the section “Comparison of Cash Dividends, Stock Dividends, and Stock Splits” in the main text, including Exhibit 11-6 (p. 585), which overviews the effects of each of these events on stockholders’ equity.

Account for treasury stock. Treasury stock is when the company buys back its own shares from existing shareholders. The cost of the shares is debited to a contraequity account, Treasury Stock. If the treasury stock is subsequently sold, Cash is debited, Treasury Stock is credited for the cost of the shares, and Paid-In Capital from Treasury Stock Transactions is debited or credited for the difference, if any. Review the impact of treasury stock on stockholders’ equity in Exhibit 11-7 (p. 587).
7
Report stockholders’ equity. Remember that different accountants report stockholders’ equity in different ways. Because it is important for you to be able to read the financial statements of real companies, carefully review Exhibit 11-8 (p. 589) and consider the important points about the real-world format noted in the main text. Also review Exhibit 11-9 (p. 590) to understand the format of a statement of stockholders’ equity.

When stock is issued for cash, the Cash account increases (a debit) for cash received. The Common Stock account increases (a credit) for the par value, and Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par increases (a credit) for the difference. Because the selling price per share is almost always more than the par value, this excess balancing amount to Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par is usually an increase (a credit).

We know that total debits must equal total credits for any transaction. In this case, the debit is the cash received and the credits are the increases to Common Stock and Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par: Cash Received from Share ! Common Stock $ Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Issuance
So the total cash received from issuance of the common shares: $437,500 $ $787,500 ! $1,225,000
This amount represents all 350,000 issued shares. $1,225,000/350,000 shares ! $3.50 average cash received per share $3.50 received # $1.25 par ! $2.25 additional cash paid per share $2.25 " 350,000 shares ! $787,500 total additional cash paid

When dividends are paid, Retained Earnings decreases because the shareholders are removing some of their capital from the company. So Retained Earnings decreases (a debit) by $120,000. Cash also decreases (a credit) by $120,000.

Each year, every preferred share is supposed to receive: “Required” Preferred Par Value Dividend ! " Share Dividends Per Share Percentage
First, we should calculate the “required” annual dividends per share. In this case, it is: $100 " 6% ! $6 per share
Because 25,000 preferred shares are outstanding, this annual amount works out to $6 × 25,000 = $150,000 in dividends per year for all preferred shares.
Requirement 3 Did Jill pay all of the required dividends in each year? If not, what happens to the amount not paid? How much in dividends did the preferred and common shareholders receive each year?

2008 For 2008, $120,000 is less than the “required” $150,000, so we know that Jill did not pay all of the required dividends. The preferred shares only received: $120,000/25,000 shares ! $4.80 per share
The difference of $150,000 " $120,000 = $30,000 is dividends in arrears. This amount is not recorded in a transaction because it has not yet been declared and therefore is not a liability. Dividends in arrears do not appear on the balance sheet. However, they are disclosed in a note to the financial statements. Because the full $150,000 was not paid, the entire $120,000 goes to the preferred shareholders as dividends. The common shareholders get no dividends in 2008. 2009 For 2009, Jill must not only pay the $150,000 annual “requirement,” but first must also “catch up” on the dividends in arrears of $30,000 from 2008. So in order to completely fulfill its obligation to the preferred shares, Jill must pay $30,000 + $150,000 = $180,000 in dividends to the preferred shares. We see that $160,000 is less than the $180,000, so we know that Jill did not pay all of the required dividends in 2009. The difference of $180,000 " $160,000 = $20,000 is dividends in arrears. Because the full $180,000 was not paid, the entire $160,000 goes to the preferred shareholders as dividends. The common shareholders get no dividends in 2009. 378

2010 In 2010, Jill is supposed to pay the annual $150,000 of dividends plus the $20,000 dividends in arrears from 2009, for a total of $170,000. The $200,000 paid is greater than $170,000, so we know that Jill did pay all of the required dividends in 2010. The $170,000 goes to the preferred shareholders, while the rest ($200,000 " $170,000 = $30,000) goes to the common shareholders.

The new shares from the split would increase common stock by: 75,000 shares × $0.40 par per share ! $30,000
No change occurred in the account balance of Common Stock. It remains the same, only it is now spread across more shares (resulting in a lower par value per share, as shown in the preceding calculations). A stock split is like getting change for a $1 bill—you still have $1, it’s just not in one piece anymore. The net impact on common stock is zero. Essentially, this means that no journal entry is required for a stock split. However, a stock split is described in the notes to the financial statements. Because no journal entry is required, total equity is not affected by the stock split.

This is a small stock dividend because the dividend percentage (20%) is less than 25%. Remember that after the stock split of January 1, Tinker has 75,000 common shares outstanding with a market price of $3 per share and a par value of $0.40 per share. With a stock dividend, new shares are issued to existing shareholders. Number of New Shares Issued Shares Outstanding Stock !

15,000 New Shares
Each of these new shares is identical to the shares that existed before the stock dividend. They have the same characteristics as the common shares that existed before the stock dividend. The par value of the new shares issued is $0.40 per share, as it is for the other common shares. So Common Stock increases (a credit) by: 15,000 new shares " $0.40 par ! $6,000
With any dividend, Retained Earnings decreases (a debit) because the shareholders receive some of their value/equity back from the company. In the case of a small stock dividend, this value is the market value of the new shares issued. So in this case, Retained Earnings decreases (a debit) by: 15,000 new shares " $3 market price per share ! $45,000
The difference between these two amounts is balanced to Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par—in this case, an increase (a credit) of: $45,000 # $6,000 ! $39,000

The Common Stock account represents all issued common shares. When the company purchases treasury stock, these shares are still issued but are no longer outstanding. To represent this decrease in the number of outstanding shares, the Treasury Stock account has a debit balance. It is a contra-equity account. When treasury stock is purchased, the Treasury Stock account increases (a debit) by the cost of the treasury shares:

Long-Term Liabilities
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW You probably already know that when you purchase a home, you will likely need to obtain a mortgage. You can choose from various types of mortgages, but a popular form is the fixed-rate mortgage. If you obtain a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, you know that you are locked into the interest rate specified in the mortgage contract for 30 years. Mortgage interest rates may increase or decrease in subsequent years, but it won’t affect your fixed monthly payment. If the interest rate decrease is material enough, you may choose to refinance the mortgage to save future interest costs. Refinancing means that the old mortgage is paid off with a new mortgage loan. The characteristics of a bond are similar to a mortgage. The issuer of a bond incurs a long-term liability and is committed to pay interest at the fixed interest rate included in the bond agreement. Sometimes an issuer will refinance its debt if the interest rate decreases by issuing new bonds at the lower interest rate and paying off the higher-rate bonds. In this chapter, we learn about bonds and mortgages and how to account for them.
Learning Objectives
1
Describe mortgages and leases, and record mortgage and lease transactions. A mortgage is a long-term loan taken out for the purchase of land, buildings, or both. The loan is secured by the asset mortgaged as collateral. When a mortgage loan is issued, the asset account is debited and the Mortgage Note Payable (a liability) is credited. Payments, which are the same for each period, consist of principal and interest; however, the portion allocated to principal increases with time and the interest expense portion decreases. The Interest Expense and Mortgage Note Payable accounts are debited for their respective amounts and Cash is credited for the periodic payment amount. With a lease, the lessee agrees to pay to use an asset owned by the lessor. Typical lease payments are recorded with a debit to Rent Expense and a credit to Cash. Some leases contain characteristics similar to an asset purchase rather than a usual rental. In these cases, it is considered a capital lease and is accounted for like an asset purchase that is financed; the asset account is debited and Lease Payable is credited for the total lease commitment. Review the amortization schedule in Exhibit 12-1 (p. 627) and the entry to record the mortgage payment.

Describe bonds payable. A bond is a long-term liability that may be issued by corporations; local, state, or federal governments; and agencies. The principal amount (par value) is the amount to be paid to the investor on the maturity date. This amount is recorded in the Bonds Payable account. Over the life of the bond, interest will be paid at the stated (fixed) interest rate. Bond market prices are quoted as a percentage of the principal amount. If the market price of the bond is less than 100 (100% of par value), the bond will be sold for less than the principal amount. The difference between the principal amount and the amount received in this case is considered a Discount on Bonds Payable. A discount may occur because the market or effective rate is higher than the stated interest rate. The discount compensates the investor for the interest rate differential by providing an additional return to the investor. If the market price of the bond is greater than 100, the bond will be sold for more than the principal amount (a premium). A premium may occur because the market or effective rate is lower than the stated interest rate. The premium reduces the return to the investor and the interest expense incurred by the issuer from the stated to the market rate. Review bond financing compared to stock in Exhibit 12-2 (p. 630). Review the relationship between the stated and market rates of interest and the bond market price in Exhibit 12-5 (p. 634).
3
Account for bond issuance and bond interest. When bonds are issued, the Cash account is debited for the cash received and the Bonds Payable account is credited for the principal amount. When bonds are issued at maturity value, a market price of 100, the Cash and Bonds Payable amounts are the same. If a bond is issued at a price of less than 100, the Discount on Bonds Payable (a contra-liability) is debited, in addition to the Cash account, for the difference between the cash received and the bond principal amount. If a bond is issued at a price of more than 100, the Premium on Bonds Payable (a liability) is credited, in addition to the Bonds Payable account, for the difference between the cash received and the bond principal amount. The issuer will pay the investors the same amount of bond interest, whether the bonds are issued at maturity value, a discount, or premium. Recall that: Interest ! Principal " Stated Rate of Interest " Time When bonds are issued at maturity value, the stated rate of interest equals the market rate of interest and therefore the interest expense is equal to the amount of interest paid. When the bonds are issued at a discount, the discount amount is the additional interest expense that must be recorded over the life of the bonds to record the higher market rate of interest incurred. The Discount on Bonds Payable amount is amortized evenly over the life of the bond using the straight-line method. When the bonds are issued at a premium, the premium amount is the reduction of interest expense that must be recorded over the life of the bonds to record the lower market rate of interest incurred. The Premium on Bonds Payable amount is amortized evenly over the life of the bond using the straight-line method. Review “Issuing Bonds Payable

and Paying Interest” in the main text for bond issuance and interest expense journal entries.
4
Account for bond repayment. When bonds are repaid, the Bonds Payable liability is reduced (debited) and Cash is reduced (credited) for the maturity value. This entry is the reverse of the entry that journalized the issuance of bonds at maturity value. Bonds may be retired before the maturity date. When a company retires the bonds, it is relieved of the net bond liability. This net amount, called the carrying amount, is equal to the Bonds Payable less Discount on Bonds Payable or plus Premium on Bonds Payable amounts. The company must pay the market price to redeem the bonds. Similar to the disposal of a plant asset in Chapter 9, a gain or loss may result and needs to be journalized. If the amount received (elimination of bond carrying amount) is greater than the amount given up (call or market price), then a Gain on Retirement of Bonds Payable must be credited for the difference. If the amount received (elimination of bond carrying amount) is less than the amount given up (call or market price), then a Loss on Retirement of Bonds Payable must be debited for the difference. Review the example and journal entries in the “Retirement of Bonds” section of the main text.

Report long-term liabilities on the balance sheet. Mortgages, capital leases, and bonds payable may appear as long-term liabilities on the balance sheet. Recall that the Premium on Bonds Payable is a liability account and would be shown with the Bonds Payable account as a long-term liability. The Discount on Bonds Payable is a contra-liability account and would be shown as a deduction from the Bonds Payable account. The portion of these liabilities that are due within one year may be classified as current liabilities. Interest payable on the liabilities is also included as a current liability. Review the illustration under “Reporting Liabilities on the Balance Sheet” in the main text.

Although both bonds and mortgages have set cash payments that are the same every period, the nature of these payments differ. Bonds have their principal paid back as one lump sum at their maturity. So, for the entire life of the bond, the (present value of the) debt is a liability for the company. Because this debt is outstanding for the bond’s entire life, interest expense is high each period and remains high over the bond’s life. Mortgages pay off the principal and interest with each payment. Unlike bonds, the debt and the interest expense are both decreasing over the life of the mortgage. With bonds, large principal payments can lead to bankruptcy if the company is unable to pay off the debt when the bonds mature. This problem is much less likely to happen with mortgage payments.

Statement of Cash Flows
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW If you find yourself short of cash occasionally, it is not uncommon to wonder where all the money has gone. You probably already know that you need to keep track of all cash received and spent for a period of time to find out the answer. Not only does keeping track show you the amount of money coming in and going out, but you would also identify the source of the cash received and the use of the cash spent. Identifying the cash activities in your life helps you to predict your future cash flows based on past history, review the decisions you made in your financial life that result in the creation and disbursement of cash, and assess your ability to meet future financial obligations. The same issues are important to a business. In this chapter, we see how the statement of cash flows provides this information for an entity.
Learning Objectives
1
Explain the purposes of the statement of cash flows and describe its elements. The statement of cash flows shows the cash receipts and payments for a period of time. It helps to predict future cash flows, evaluate management decisions, and predict a company’s ability to pay dividends. See Exhibit 13-1 (p. 690) to learn how the statement of cash flows fits in with the other financial statements.
2
Distinguish between operating, investing, and financing cash flows. The three sections of a statement of cash flows are operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Operating activities affect the income statement and current assets and current liabilities on the balance sheet. Investing activities affect long-term assets. Financing activities affect long-term liabilities and owners’ equity. See Exhibit 13-2 (p. 692) for the relationship between these activity categories and the balance sheet classifications.
3
Prepare a statement of cash flows by the indirect method. The indirect method reconciles the net income from the income statement to the cash flow from operating activities. The investing and financing sections of the statement of cash flows are the same under the
1eSG_C13_0131792075.qxd

Page 448
indirect and direct methods. See Exhibits 13-5 and 13-7 (pp. 698) to view the format of an indirect method statement of cash flows.
4
Prepare a statement of cash flows by the direct method. The direct method lists the amount of cash receipts and cash payments from operating activities by major category. See Exhibits 13-13 and 13-14 (pp. 705–706) to view the structure of a direct method statement of cash flows. Review Exhibit 13-15 (p. 706) to see how to calculate cash receipts and payments under the direct method.

Prepare a statement of cash flows by the indirect method
Net Income The first item is net income. Because net income is positive, it increases to the Cash balance. Therefore, we add (that is, a positive number) $1,000 on our cash-flow statement. Depreciation Expense Net income includes depreciation expense, which must be removed because it is a 100% noncash item. Remember, no cash was “spent” for depreciation, yet it was still deducted to arrive at the net income number. Because depreciation expense was subtracted to calculate net income, we add it back to remove it. Gains and Losses After depreciation, we must look for gains and losses on disposal of longterm assets. These are treated in a manner similar to the depreciation. No cash was “earned” for the gain, yet it was still added to arrive at the net income number. The gain on sale of furniture was added to calculate net income, so we subtract it to remove it. Accounts Receivable After looking at net income and the depreciation and gain adjustments, we need to incorporate the changes in current assets and current liabilities. The increases and decreases in these accounts do not tell us whether to add or subtract these items on the cash-flow statement. The first current asset (other than cash) is Accounts Receivable. On the balance sheet we see: Assets

Current: Cash Accounts Receivable
We must add the $120 decrease in accounts receivable. We can reason out this adjustment in two ways: 1. Accounts Receivable went down. Why? Tanker is collecting more of the cash that its customers owe. How does this collection affect Cash? It increases Cash, therefore, we should add the number on the cash-flow statement.

2. Accounts Receivable went down. This decrease in an asset appears as a credit. To balance out this credit would require a debit to Cash, which is an increase. If Cash increases, we should add the number on the cash flow statement. Notice that in both cases, we add or subtract on the cash-flow statement because of the item’s effect on cash flow. It doesn’t matter whether Accounts Receivable went up or down; what matters is how that change affects cash flow. Inventory Let’s try the two ways with the next current asset: inventory. On the balance sheet, we see: Assets

During the year, inventory increased by $50. 1. Why did Inventory increase? Tanker purchased inventory with cash. Therefore, this transaction has a negative effect on cash flow. 2. An increase in inventory means an increase in an asset, which is a debit. For this debit to be balanced out by cash, the Cash account is credited, which is a negative effect on cash flow. Prepaid Expenses The last current asset is Prepaid Insurance. On the balance sheet, we see: Assets

During the year, Prepaid Insurance increased by $30. 1. Why did the Prepaid Insurance account increase? Tanker paid more insurance costs in advance, which caused a negative effect on cash flow. 2. An increase in Prepaid Insurance means an increase in an asset, which is a debit. If this debit is balanced out by cash, then the Cash account is credited, which is a negative effect on cash flow. Accounts Payable The last part of operating activities is to look at the changes in current liabilities. The only current liability in this question is Accounts Payable. On the balance sheet, we see: 452

During the year, Accounts Payable increased by $150. 1. Why did Accounts Payable increase? Tanker is not paying all of its bills. If they are holding onto their cash by not paying bills, the result is a positive effect on cash flow. 2. An increase in the Accounts Payable account causes an increase in a liability, which is a credit. If this credit is balanced out by cash, then the Cash account is debited, resulting in a positive effect on cash flow. We total these numbers, and we are finished with operating activities.

Investing Activities Part 1

Investing activities involve cash purchases and cash disposals of long-term assets. We need to know how much cash was paid to purchase new furniture, and how much cash was received when Tanker sold some of the old furniture. Do we have any of these numbers right away? Yes, we are told in the question that Tanker signed a $200 note payable to purchase new furniture. We also know that the old furniture was sold for $90 cash. Before we do anything else, we should point out that the $200 note payable is a noncash transaction. Although we will need to use it in our analysis, it will not appear on the main body of the cash-flow statement. Instead, it will appear in a note for noncash investing and financing activities: Noncash investing and financing activities Purchase of furniture with note payable
$ 200
We need to calculate the cash Tanker paid to purchase new furniture. For this analysis, we need to look at the Furniture (Net) T-account: Bal. 12/31/07 Bal. 12/31/08
Furniture (Net) 925 increases decreases 1,100

We know that the Furniture (Net) account increased and decreased. What caused that account to increase? Well, it would increase if Tanker bought new furniture. So obviously the cash paid and the note signed for new furniture went into this account. What would cause the Furniture (Net) account to decrease? If Tanker sold furniture, we would decrease the account, but it would decrease by the book value (that is, the net amount) of the furniture sold. Remember, the book value is another term for net value. We are looking at net value in the T-account, so the Furniture (Net) account decreases by its net/book value. We know that some furniture was sold, so obviously this decrease occurred. We know that this furniture was sold for $90 cash, but this amount is not the net book value (NBV) of the furniture sold. This amount is still unknown. However, we can calculate this amount using the gain/loss formula: Gain or Loss on Sale of Fixed Assets ! Cash Received on Sale of Fixed Assets " NBV of Fixed Assets Sold
For this example, this formula becomes: Gain on Sale of Furniture ! Cash Received on Sale of Furniture " NBV of Furniture Sold
Therefore, $80 ! $90 " NBV of Furniture Sold NBV of Furniture Sold ! $10
What else would decrease Furniture (Net)? Well, when Tanker takes depreciation expense, don’t we decrease the net value of its assets? We know from the income statement that depreciation expense is $110. Let’s now put all of the numbers in and see what comes out: Furniture (Net) Bal. 12/31/07 Cash purchases Noncash purchases
925 X 200 NBV furniture sold Depreciation expense
Bal. 12/31/08
10 110
1,100
So $925 # X # $200 " $10 " $110 ! $1,100
X ! Cash paid to purchase furniture ! $95
The following summary shows how we find missing information for long-term assets: 1. Set up a T-account for the net value of the asset. 2. Fill in as much information as you can in the T-account (such as beginning and ending balances, depreciation expense, and purchases or net book value of disposals). 3. Solve for any missing information. 4. If more than one number is missing, or if the missing information is not the number you need, use the gain/loss formula to calculate any remaining information. 454

Now we can put our two numbers, $90 and $95, into the statement of cash flows. Cash purchases of equipment were $95. Did this amount cause Cash to increase or decrease? Obviously it is a decrease because Tanker paid cash, so we subtract it. Cash received on sale of equipment is $90, which is an increase to Cash, so we add it. Remember that for investing activities, we cannot combine these two items. They must be listed separately because they are two separate transactions. Totaling these numbers completes investing activities. The completed investing activities section would appear as: Investing Activities Cash paid to purchase new furniture

Prepare a statement of cash flows by the indirect method
Long–Term Liabilities Tanker signed new notes payable (for which it received cash) and repaid some other notes. We need the cash numbers involved so that we can put them into the cashflow statement. Do we have any of them immediately available to us? Yes, we are told that Tanker repaid $500 of notes payable. We also know that Tanker took out a noncash note (to purchase furniture) of $200. This noncash transaction has already been recorded in the note to the cash flow statement (discussed under investing activities). Notes Payable Bal. 12/31/07 decreases increases Bal. 12/31/08
815 660
Now let’s analyze the Notes Payable T-account: What would cause this account to increase? Well, it would increase if Tanker took out new notes payable. What would cause it to decrease? It would decrease if Tanker paid off some of the notes. Let’s put that information into the T-account: Notes Payable Note repayments

So we can calculate new cash notes: $815 " $500 # X # $200 ! $660
X ! $145
Now we can put these numbers into the cash flow statement. Cash received from new notes was $145. This transaction increased Cash, so it has a positive effect on cash flow. Cash paid to repay old notes was $500. This transaction decreased Cash, so it has a negative effect on cash flow. Treasury Stock Now we must analyze the changes in Tanker’s equity. Tanker had some activity with treasury stock during the year. We know that Tanker purchased treasury stock. Treasury Stock Bal. 12/31/07 Bal. 12/31/08
0 increases decreases 1,000
What could cause this account to go up? It would go up if Tanker purchased treasury stock. What could cause it to go down? It would go down if treasury stock were sold. We know that no treasury stock was sold: Treasury Stock Bal. 12/31/07 0 Treasury stock purchased X Treasury stock sold Bal. 12/31/08
0
1,000
So we can calculate that treasury stock purchased: $0 # X " 0 ! $1,000
X ! $1,000
This balance means that cash was paid by Tanker, which is a negative effect on cash flow. Dividends The other account in equity that changed is Retained Earnings. The two major transactions affecting Retained Earnings are net income and dividends. Net income was already listed in the operating activities section, so all that remains to be included in the financing activities section is dividend activity. The Retained Earnings account looks like this: Retained Earnings Bal. 12/31/07 decreases increases Bal. 12/31/08
200 880
What makes Retained Earnings go up? It goes up when Tanker earns net income. What makes it go down? It goes down when Tanker pays dividends: Retained Earnings Cash dividends paid

Now we must combine operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities to get the total cash flow (the change in Cash during the year). Next, we show the Cash balance from the prior year (December 31, 2007) and add it to total cash flow to get this year’s Cash balance (December 31, 2008). TANKER, INC.

Cash Received from Customers

Prepare a statement of cash flows by the direct method
What is the first item on the income statement? Revenues. How does this item translate into a cash transaction? Revenues should result in customers giving Tanker cash, so the appropriate line on the direct method cash flow statement is “cash received from customers.” For each income statement account that is not 100% cash, there is always a balance sheet account to record the related accrual. In this case, Accounts Receivable (on the balance sheet) takes care of revenues when cash has not yet been collected. Accounts Receivable Bal. 12/31/07 Bal. 12/31/08
420 increases decreases 300
What could cause this account to increase? It would increase if Tanker had more sales. What could cause it to decrease? It would decrease if Tanker collected the cash. We know from the income statement that sales were $3,400, so: Accounts Receivable Bal. 12/31/07 Sales revenue Bal. 12/31/08

This amount appears on the direct method cash-flow statement. Cash Paid to Suppliers The next line on the income statement is cost of goods sold. How does this item relate to a cash transaction? In order to get the goods Tanker sold, it must buy the items from a supplier and pay for them. So the appropriate line on the cash flow statement is “cash paid to suppliers.” Accounts Payable is the balance sheet account that takes care of bills to suppliers that have not yet been paid.

What could cause this account to increase? It would increase if Tanker had more bills (that is, if Tanker were to purchase inventory from its suppliers). What could cause it to decrease? It would decrease if Tanker paid the cash it owed to the suppliers. However, we don’t know how much inventory was purchased. We can figure this out using the inventory formula from Chapters 5 and 8: COGS !
Beginning Ending # Purchases " Inventory Inventory
$1,750 ! $750 # Purchases " $800 Purchases ! $1,800

This amount appears on the direct method cash-flow statement. Cash Paid for Expenses The next item on the income statement is depreciation expense. Because we know that it is 100% noncash, we can ignore it for the direct method. Next is insurance expense. This item would result in “cash paid as insurance.” To calculate this number, we need to analyze the Prepaid Insurance account. Prepaid Insurance Bal. 12/31/07
90 increases decreases 120
Bal. 12/31/08
What could cause this account to increase? It would increase if Tanker paid more insurance in advance. What could cause it to decrease? It would decrease if Tanker incurred that insurance expense. We know from the income statement that insurance expense was $230. Prepaid Insurance Bal. 12/31/07 Cash payments

This amount applies to the direct method statement of cash flows. Following insurance expense are other expenses. Let’s leave this item until the end. The gain on sale of furniture is a noncash transaction that does not affect a direct method cash-flow statement. 460

Now, we come back to other expenses. Do any other current asset or current liability accounts remain with which we have not yet dealt? No, we have analyzed all of them, which means they have no accrual portion (that is, no noncash portion). So we can just assume that they were all paid in cash. Therefore, the last line in the operating activities section is “other cash expenses” of $390. Operating Activities Cash Collected from Customers
$3,520
Cash Paid to Suppliers
(1,650)
Cash Paid for Insurance
(260)
Other Cash Expenses

Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
$1,220
Notice that the “cash flow provided by operating activities” of $1,220 is the same total we calculated under the indirect method. It is always the case that cash flow from operating activities is the same under the direct and indirect methods. This check is a good way to confirm that our calculations are correct. Remember that the investing and financing activities are the same under both methods. So the rest of Tanker’s cash flow statement (investing activities to the end) would be identical to what is shown in Demo Doc 1.

The income statement shows the determination of net income. Net income is calculated on an accrual basis. Net income not only includes cash transactions; it also includes noncash transactions. We record revenue earned and expenses incurred regardless of whether cash has been received or paid. The cash flow statement shows the determination of cash flow (that is, the change in the cash balance during the year). Because the cash flow statement distills all transactions down to their cash components only, it is missing certain noncash transactions that are included in net income. Cash flow is actually net income under the cash basis of accounting. So the primary difference is that the income statement is prepared under the accrual basis of accounting whereas the cash-flow statement is prepared under the cash basis of accounting.

Financial Statement Analysis
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW For years now, you have been a student and have taken many exams. You probably already know that receiving your grades evokes some typical responses. Your first reaction may be the level of satisfaction you have with your grade compared to your previous grades received in that class and the established grading norms for your institution. You may then ask your friends what grade they received so that you can compare your results with theirs. The instructor may announce the average exam results and you could then determine whether you performed better or worse than the average. Students often like to assess their performance by comparing their grade to a standard, their peers, and the average. Businesses do the same thing. In this chapter, you study various techniques and ratios that a business can use to assess its performance using comparisons to previous results, competitors, and the industry average.
Learning Objectives
1
Perform a horizontal analysis of comparative financial statements. Horizontal analysis provides comparisons of financial information over time. To analyze a line item in the financial statements, the difference between the current and earlier time period amounts is computed. The dollar amount change of the line item between the periods is useful, but it is more informative to determine the percentage change by dividing the dollar change (current period amount, or this year’s balance, minus the earlier period amount, or last year’s balance) by the earlier period amount. Review the horizontal analysis of the income statement and the balance sheet in Exhibits 14-1 and 14-2 (pp. 750–751).
2
Perform a vertical analysis of financial statements. Vertical analysis provides comparisons of individual items on a financial statement to a relative base. The base, which serves as the denominator, is usually net sales for the income statement and total assets for the balance sheet. The vertical analysis percentage is calculated by dividing each financial statement item amount by the relevant base of net sales or total assets. The vertical analysis percentage is shown next to the item amount on the financial statement. Review the vertical analysis of the income statement and the balance sheet in Exhibits 14-4 and 14-5 (pp. 753–754).

Prepare and use common-size financial statements. A common-size statement is similar to the vertical analysis but shows only the vertical analysis percentages of each item in the financial statement. This presentation permits ready comparisons between companies of various sizes. Review the common-size comparisons of Target versus the industry average and Wal-Mart in in Exhibits 14-6 (p. 755 ) and 14-7 (p. 755).
4
Compute the standard financial ratios. Financial ratios are helpful to assess a company’s performance and financial position. Trends can be determined and comparisons to competing companies can be made. Various ratios are presented to measure the following: • • • • •
Ability to pay current liabilities Ability to sell inventory and collect receivables Ability to pay long-term debt Profitability Return on stock investment
Review “Using Ratios to Make Decisions” in the main text for descriptions and formulas for the financial ratios.
5
Measure economic value added. Economic value added, which is used to evaluate a company’s operating performance, is equal to Net income plus Interest expense minus Capital charge. Capital charge is the amount that stockholders and lenders charge a company for the use of their money. It is calculated by adding notes payable, loans payable, long-term debt, and stockholders’ equity, then multiplying that sum by the cost of capital (a weighted average of the returns demanded by the company’s stockholders and lenders). Review the section entitled “Economic Value Added” in the main textbook.

As its name implies, horizontal analysis goes across the rows of the financial statements, looking at one account and how it has changed. For each number on the balance sheet and income statement, we calculate the dollar change and the percent change. Dollar This Year’s Last Year’s ! " Change Balance Balance
For example, the dollar changes in Accounts Receivable and Sales Revenue: Accounts Receivable ! $800,000,000 – $145,000,000 ! $(65,000,000) Change Sales Revenue ! $650,000,000 – $580,000,000 ! $70,000,000 Change
Notice that the parentheses around the change in Accounts Receivable indicates a decrease, while the positive value for the change in Sales Revenue indicates that it increased. Extra care must be taken when using this calculation on expenses (because they are assumed to be subtracted/negative numbers on the income statement). The absolute value of the expense (that is, ignoring the fact that it is subtracted) must be used to calculate dollar change. For example, the dollar change of COGS and Interest Expense is: COGS ! $430,000,000 – $350,000,000 ! $80,000,000 Change Interest Expense ! $70,000,000 – $80,000,000 ! $(10,000,000) Change
Again, the positive value indicates that COGS increased and the negative value indicates that Interest Expense decreased. Dollar Change Percent ! Change Last Year’s Balance
For example, the percent change of Accounts Receivable and Sales Revenue is: Percent Change
!
Dollar Change Last Year's Balance

Sales Revenue ! !
$70,000,000 $580,000,000 12.1% Change
Again, the percent change numbers are negative for Accounts Receivable (which decreased in 2008) and positive for Sales Revenue (which increased in 2008). 488

As its name implies, vertical analysis takes each number on the financial statement and compares it to others in the same year (that is, down the columns of the financial statements). Vertical analysis is sometimes called common-size analysis because it allows two companies of different sizes to be compared (through the use of percentages). Balance Sheet Vertical Analysis On the balance sheet, each number, whether it be an asset, a liability, or an equity account, is calculated as a percentage of total assets. Account Balance Total Assets
Vertical Analysis Percent ! (Balance Sheet)
So in the case of accounts receivable: Vertical Analysis Percent ! eivable) (2008 Accounts Rece !
$80,000,000 $360,000,000 22.2%
In other words, about 22% of all the assets in 2008 are in Accounts Receivable. Income Statement Vertical Analysis On the income statement, each number is calculated as a percentage of net sales revenues. Vertical Analysis Percent ! (Income Statement)
Account Balance Net Sales Revenues
So in the case of gross profit: Vertical Analysis Percent ! (2008 Gross Profit)) !
$220,000,000 $650,000,000 33.8%
This figure means that for every dollar in sales revenues, about $0.34 went to gross profit. For expenses, the calculation is the same. So in the cases of COGS and interest expense: Vertical Analysis Percent ! (2008 COGS) ! Vertical Analysis Percent ! (2008 Interest Expense) ! 490

Introduction to Management Accounting
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW If you have ever baked a cake, you probably already know that certain ingredients are required to produce the desired result. It may be a mix that only requires eggs and water, or you may follow a recipe where you must add in all of the ingredients separately. Whichever it may be, you know that the more ingredients that are necessary to make the cake, the more costly it is. Assume you ask your sister to apply the icing because you’re short on time and offer to pay her $5. The amount paid for her services, labor, adds to the cost of the cake. It is certain that without utilities to run the mixer and the oven, you could not make the cake. In business, these inputs would be referred to as overhead. So, it seems that the costs of materials, labor, and overhead are involved in making the cake. In this chapter, we will study these three components of cost for manufacturers.
Learning Objectives
1
Identify trends in the business environment and the role of management accountability. Some of the changes that have taken place over recent years include an increasing shift toward a service economy, global competition and increasing opportunities for worldwide expansion, time-based competition (including ERP, e-commerce, and JIT management), and an increased focus on promoting continuous improvement in the quality of goods and services produced (total quality management). Review the section called “Today’s Business Environment” in the main text, as well as management’s accountability to stakeholders in Exhibit 15-2 (p. 803).
2
Distinguish management accounting from financial accounting. Management accounting provides financial and nonfinancial information to managers and other internal users of information. The data help management plan and control the operations of the business. Financial accounting provides financial information to users outside of the business such as creditors, investors, and governmental agencies. Review Management Accounting versus Financial Accounting in Exhibit 15-3 (p. 804).
3
Classify costs and prepare an income statement for a service company. All of the costs of a service company are considered period costs. Period costs include selling, general, and administrative costs that are included as expenses on the income statement in the period incurred. A service
1eSG_C15_0131792075.Qxd
10/24/06
1:58 PM
Page 514
company has no inventory, and therefore none of the costs incurred are inventoriable. Similarly, no cost of goods sold appears on the income statement. Review the income statement for a service company in Exhibit 15-4 (p. 807).
4
Classify costs and prepare an income statement for a merchandising company. Some costs are inventoriable product costs, included in the cost of inventory on the balance sheet, until sold. These costs include the total cost of purchasing the inventory, plus the freight that may be required to obtain the goods. When the inventory is sold, it becomes cost of goods sold, one of the largest expenses on the income statement for a merchandising company. Recall from Chapter 5 the calculation of cost of goods sold for a periodic inventory system is to add beginning inventory, purchases, and freight-in and subtract ending inventory. Review the income statement for a merchandising company in Exhibit 15-5 (p. 808).
5
Classify costs and prepare an income statement for a manufacturing company. Manufacturers use three stages and accounts for inventory: raw materials (including the components, ingredients, or parts used in manufacturing), work in process (including raw materials that have some degree of work done but not completed), and finished goods (completed and ready for sale). The inventoriable product costs in finished goods for a manufacturing company include the elements of cost required to make the goods, including direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. As described under Objective 4, merchandisers consider the cost of purchases and freight-in to determine the cost of goods sold. Because manufacturers don’t purchase their inventory, the cost of the goods manufactured must be considered to calculate the cost of goods sold for manufacturers. The approach, similar to that used to calculate the cost of goods sold for a merchandiser, is to start with beginning inventory, add direct materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead, and subtract ending inventory. Review the inventoriable product and period costs analysis in Exhibit 15-8 (p. 811). Also, review the income statement for a manufacturing company in Exhibit 15-7 (p. 811) and carefully study the schedule of cost of goods manufactured, which can be particularly troublesome, in Exhibit 15-10 (p. 813).
6
Use reasonable standards to make ethical judgments. It is more important than ever to be mindful of making ethical judgments. Professional accounting associations have standards of ethical conduct, as do most other professions. In addition, employees are often provided with a code of ethics from their employer. Management accountants are required to maintain their professional competence, preserve the confidentiality of the information they handle, and act with integrity and objectivity. Review the excerpt of the Institute of Management Accountants’ Standards of ethical conduct in Exhibit 15-12 (p. 815).

Management accountability is the idea that the manager is responsible to manage the resources of the organization. Many different groups and individuals, called stakeholders, have an interest in an organization (that is, owners, creditors, customers, suppliers, and the various government organizations). To satisfy the needs of these stakeholders, managers provide information that communicates the decisions made and the results obtained from these decisions. Management accountability requires two forms of accounting: • Financial accounting for external reporting • Management accounting for internal planning, controlling, and decision making Remember, planning means choosing goals and deciding how to achieve them. Controlling means evaluating the results of business operations by comparing the actual results to the plan.

Management accounting provides more detailed and timely information than does financial accounting. Managers use this information in the following ways: • Identify ways to cut costs • Set prices that will be competitive and yet yield profits • Identify the most profitable products and customers so the sales force can focus on key profit makers • Evaluate employees’ job performance

As you recall from earlier chapters, an income statement reports the organization’s revenues and expenses for a period of time. Dark Spray is a service company, so all of its costs are period costs. Because it doesn’t carry an inventory of product, no cost of goods sold appears on its income statement. Period costs are costs incurred and expensed in the current accounting period. Dark Spray’s period costs include all expenses for the month of April (wages, supplies, utilities, and rent). Dark Spray’s period costs are $8,000 + $3,000 + $2,000 + $1,000 = $14,000 for the month of April 2010. Here is the income statement for Dark Spray for the month of April 2010.

Because Dark Spray has purchased products from a supplier that they now resell, Dark Spray is now a merchandiser (retailer). Dark Spray now maintains an inventory. Dark Spray’s income statement will now include cost of goods sold as a major expense. Any product not sold in one period will be shown as an asset called merchandise inventory. Merchandise inventory is NOT an expense until it is sold— then the expense becomes cost of goods sold. The goods available for sale are computed by adding purchases during the period to beginning inventory. Ending inventory is subtracted from cost of goods available for sale to get cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold is subtracted from sales revenue to get gross profit. Consider the following formula: Beginning Inventory ! Purchases Goods Available for Sale – Ending Inventory Cost of Goods Sold
So in the case of Dark Spray: Beginning Inventory ! Purchases
$
Goods Available for Sale " Ending Inventory Cost of Goods Sold
0 15,000 15,000 6,000
$ 9,0 000
Subtract $9,000 from sales revenue of $30,000 for a gross profit of $21,000. Here is Dark Spray’s income statement for the month ended May 31, 2010: DARK SPRAY TANNING Income Statement Month Ended May 31, 2010 Sales revenue Cost of goods sold: Beginning inventory $ 0 Purchases 15,000 Cost of goods available for sale 15,000 Ending inventory (6,000) Cost of goods sold Gross profit Operating expenses: Wages expense 11,000 Supply expense 3,000 Utility expense 2,000 Rent expense 1,000 Operating income

Gross profit is what remains from sales after the cost of goods sold is subtracted from sales revenue. Gross profit is then used to cover operating expenses and yield a profit (or loss). Managers want to keep an eye on the gross profit percentage, which is a measure of profitability, to make sure that it doesn’t fluctuate too much from period to period. In this case, Dark Spray had a gross profit percentage of 70% and a 13% profit margin. These figures are calculated as follows: Gross Profit Sales Revenue $21,000 Dark Spray's Gross Profit # Percentage $30,000 Gross Profit Percentage
#
#
70%
In other words, Dark Spray retains $0.70 from each dollar of revenue for the period, which is used to cover their operating expenses and then generate operating income. Gross Profit Sales Revenue $4,000 Dark Spray's Profit Margin # $30,000 # 13% Profit Margin
#
Profit margin represents the percentage of revenue that the company keeps as earnings. In this case, Dark Spray retains $0.13 from every revenue dollar as income. Managers watch this percentage as well to make sure that it doesn’t drop from period to period. Even if overall earnings increase, it’s still possible for a company’s profit margin to diminish if, for example, costs increase at a rate greater than sales. Changes in this ratio would signal to managers that they may need to exercise greater control over costs.

Cost per unit is determined by dividing total cost by the number of units. Knowing the costs the company incurs per unit it sells helps managers make pricing decisions. They obviously want to make sure they are charging their customers enough to cover their own costs and generate a profit. To calculate the cost per unit: Cost per Unit

Managers will use the per-unit cost information to help them make better decisions. Knowing that its per-unit cost is $10, Dark Spray managers may decide they need to adjust the price.

The cost of goods manufactured summarizes the manufacturing activities that took place for the month of November 2010. The three manufacturing costs—direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead—are added together to get the total manufacturing costs incurred during November ($32,000 + $16,000 + $17,000). These costs are added to beginning inventory to yield the total accountable manufacturing costs. Ending inventory is then subtracted from total accountable manufacturing costs to get cost of goods manufactured. Consider the following formula: Beginning Work in Process ! Direct Materials Used ! Direct Labor Used ! Factory/Manufacturing Overhead Applied Current Manufacturing g Costs " Ending Work in Process Cost of Goods Manufacture ed
So for Chase Toys: Beginning Work in Progress ! Direct Materials Used ! Direct Labor Used ! Factory/Manufacturing Overhead Applied

$ 8,000 $32,000 16,000 17,000 65,000 73,000 (6,000) $67,000
Notice the similarity between calculating cost of goods manufactured and calculating cost of goods sold for a merchandiser: Start with the beginning inventory balance, increase it for the additions during the period, and subtract the ending inventory balance. The cost of goods manufactured becomes part of the finished goods inventory, which will be shown as an asset until the period in which it is sold, when it flows to cost of goods sold. Note that the inventoriable product costs in finished goods for a manufacturing company include the elements of cost required to make the goods: • Direct materials. Physical components required to manufacture the product, which can be traced directly to the finished good. • Direct labor. Labor of employees who work directly on the finished product. • Manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing costs other than direct materials and direct labor, including factory costs such as insurance, depreciation, and utilities. Overhead also includes indirect materials (low value materials that cannot be traced directly to a finished product) and indirect labor (supportive factory labor of janitors, managers, and equipment operators that cannot be traced directly to a finished product).

Notice how the cost of goods manufactured amount computed on the schedule in Requirement 1 is part of finished goods here—the only inventory that is ready to sell. It becomes part of cost of goods sold on the income statement. Note that Finished Goods for a manufacturer is like the Inventory account for a merchandiser. In both cases, these accounts represent the inventory that is complete and available to be sold.

15-5. Briefly describe a just-in-time management philosophy. (p. 805) In a just-in-time system, an organization purchases materials and produces products just when they are needed in the production process. Goods are not produced until it is time for them to be shipped to a customer. The goal is to have zero inventory because holding inventory does not add value to the product. Reducing inventory and speeding the production process reduces throughput time—the time between buying raw materials and selling the finished products. Manufacturers adopting just-in-time depend on their suppliers to make on-time deliveries of perfect-quality raw materials. JIT requires close communication with suppliers. Companies that adopt JIT must strive for perfect quality. Defects stop production lines. To avoid disrupting production, defects must be rare.

Job Order Costing
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW If you own a car, you may have already had the unpleasant task of taking your car to a repair shop. Then you probably already know that before work is performed, a cost estimate is usually stated as a certain amount for parts and an hourly amount for labor. The hourly labor charge is much higher than the employees are paid. The charge must be sufficient to cover the overhead costs of running the shop such as rent, utilities, maintenance, and supplies. An additional amount is added on top of the costs to create a profit. It is important to be able to accurately identify all of the projected costs and estimated hours of work that will take place to calculate the cost per hour. We will study in this chapter how an overhead rate is calculated and allocated to jobs performed.
Learning Objectives
1
Distinguish between job order costing and process costing. Job order costing accumulates costs for each unique job, assignment, or batch. A construction company, photographer, and law firm may use job order costing because the required work may vary amongst customers and clients. Other companies operate by performing a similar set of production steps or processes. These companies would use a process costing system, which accumulates the costs for each process or department. A cereal manufacturer, bank, and automotive manufacturer might all use process costing.
2
Record materials and labor transactions in a manufacturer’s job order costing system. A job cost record is created when the job is started. All of the costs of production will be recorded on this record: direct materials used, direct labor used, and manufacturing overhead. In Demo Doc 1, you will see how materials and labor transactions are recorded in a manufacturer’s job order costing system. Review the “Accounting in Action—Job Order Costing: Tracing Direct Materials and Direct Labor” in the main text.
3
Record manufacturing overhead transactions in a manufacturer’s job order costing system. Manufacturing overhead includes factory depreciation, repairs, insurance, utilities and other factory costs. The accumulation of these costs is debited
1eSG_C16_0131792075.Qxd
10/24/06
2:01 PM
Page 546
to Manufacturing Overhead and credited to the appropriate accounts, as you will see in Demo Doc 2.
4
Record transactions for completion and sales of finished goods and adjustment for under- or overallocated manufacturing overhead. As goods continue to be worked on and completed, the costs will transfer from the Work in Process Inventory account to the Finished Goods inventory account. The inventory costs remain in the Finished Goods asset account until they are sold. When the goods are sold, two entries are required under the perpetual inventory system, as we learned in Chapter 5. One entry is made to record the sale on account or for cash. The other entry removes the cost of inventory and charges Cost of Goods Sold. Manufacturing Overhead is debited for the actual overhead costs and credited for the assigned overhead costs. At yearend, as you will see in Demo Doc 2, the balance in Manufacturing Overhead should be transferred into Cost of Goods Sold.
5
Calculate unit costs for service companies. The costs for service companies include the labor component and the other indirect office costs. The hourly cost per employee can be calculated as follows: Hourly Labor Cost !
Salary and Fringe Benefits Total Number of Hours Worked
Other indirect office costs may include rent, utilities, taxes, and support salaries. An hourly cost for indirect costs can be calculated as follows: Predetermined Total Expected Indirect Costs Indirect Cost ! abor Hours Total Direct La Allocation Rate
To determine the cost of a job, the actual number of hours applied to the job should be multiplied by the hourly labor cost and the predetermined indirect cost allocation rate.

Companies that manufacture batches of unique or specialized products would use a job order costing system to accumulate costs for each job or batch. Because Douglas manufactures specialized art for his customers and the required work may vary from customer to customer, Douglas would use the job order costing system. You will learn about the process costing system, which accumulates costs for production processes as opposed to individual jobs, in Chapter 17.

Douglas would use a job cost record to accumulate direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead costs assigned to each individual job. Managers use job cost records to determine how much each job (and each unit in the job) costs to produce. This cost information helps managers set prices and control costs. Cost data allow managers to identify their most profitable products so that marketing can concentrate on selling these products. Managers also use cost data to make outsourcing decisions and to prepare the company’s financial statements. Managers also use the job cost record to see how they can use materials and labor more efficiently. For example, if a job’s costs exceed its budget, managers must do a better job controlling costs on future jobs, or raise the sale price on similar jobs, to be sure that the company remains profitable. Similarly, managers use labor time records to control labor costs. Together, labor time records and job cost records help managers determine whether employees are working efficiently. If they spend longer than expected on a job, it may not yield a profit. Managers also use the materials inventory subsidiary ledger to control inventory levels.

If the materials can be directly traceable to a job, Work in Process will be debited. If the materials do not represent a major component and cannot be traced directly to a job, they are considered indirect materials and are debited to Manufacturing Overhead. Because $40,000 ($45,000 total materials less $5,000 indirect materials) of the materials can be traced to specific jobs, this amount goes directly into Work in Process Inventory, increasing that asset by $40,000. The $5,000 in indirect materials is debited (an increase) to Manufacturing Overhead. Because we are taking all materials out of the Materials Inventory, we reduce this asset with a credit for the total, $45,000.

The manufacturing wages need to be assigned to the appropriate accounts. A labor time record is completed by each employee who works directly on a job. Each of the jobs and hours worked are identified on the record. In this case, some of the labor, $30,000, can be traced to specific jobs. This amount, called direct labor, is assigned as a debit (increase) to the asset Work in Process Inventory. The rest of the labor, $2,000, is for indirect labor such as maintenance and janitorial services, and cannot be traced to specific jobs. Therefore, it is debited to Manufacturing Overhead. Manufacturing Wages is credited for the full amount (a decrease), bringing its balance to zero.

Demo Doc 2 Allocating Manufacturing Overhead Learning Objectives 3, 4 Macho Mike Machine Shop manufactures specialized metal products per its customers’ specifications. Macho Mike uses direct labor cost to allocate manufacturing overhead. Macho Mike expects to incur $160,000 of manufacturing overhead costs and to use $400,000 of direct labor cost during 2010. During November 2010, Macho Mike’s Machine Shop had the following selected transactions: a. Actual indirect manufacturing labor incurred, $4,200. b. Actual indirect materials used, $3,000. c. Other manufacturing overhead incurred, $2,800 (credit Accounts Payable). d. Allocated overhead for November (the machine shop incurred $36,000 of direct labor cost during the month). e. Finished jobs that totaled $6,500 on their job cost records. f. Sold inventory for $70,000 (on account) that cost $42,000 to produce.
Requirements 1. Compute the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate for Macho Mike. 2. Journalize the transactions. 3. Prepare the journal entry to close the ending balance of manufacturing overhead.

Part 3
Demo Doc Complete
Because Macho Mike uses direct labor cost to allocate overhead to jobs, the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is computed as follows: Manufactturing Overhead Rate !
Total Estimated Manufacturing Overhead Costts Total Estimated Direct Labor Cost
In this case, the estimated manufacturing overhead cost is $160,000 and estimated direct labor cost is $400,000. Dividing $160,000 by $400,000 equals 0.40, or a predetermined manufacturing overhead rate of 40% of actual direct labor cost. Another way to think of this is that for every $1 spent on direct labor, we incur $0.40 of manufacturing overhead. It’s important to remember that this rate is determined at the beginning of the period, before any production has started because actual overhead costs and the actual quantity of the allocation base are not known until the end of the period. Managers need this estimate to make decisions and allocate overhead to individual jobs throughout the period. Because the allocation base used may be direct labor hours, direct labor cost, machine hours, and other bases, it’s important to label this rate accordingly. The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is multiplied by the allocation base activity to determine the amount of overhead applied to each of the jobs.

Record manufacturing overhead transactions in a job order costing system.
In this case, all actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred during the period are debited to Manufacturing Overhead because they cannot be traced to any specific job (that is, they are indirect costs). So Manufacturing Overhead is debited by $4,200 + $3,000 + $2,800 = $10,000. Indirect manufacturing labor results in a decrease of $4,200 to Manufacturing Wages (a credit). Indirect materials used results in a decrease of $3,000 to Materials Inventory (a credit), because the materials have been used and are therefore removed from materials inventory. Other manufacturing overhead of $2,800 is credited to Accounts Payable, as indicated in the question.

The balance of the Manufacturing Overhead account should be zero at the end of the accounting period. To zero out the account when Manufacturing Overhead has a debit balance, you would credit Manufacturing Overhead and debit Cost of Goods Sold. If Manufacturing Overhead has a credit balance, then you would debit Manufacturing Overhead and credit Cost of Goods Sold. In this case, manufacturing overhead was overallocated, because the overhead allocated to Work in Process Inventory ($14,400 from Requirement 2, transaction d) is more than the amount actually incurred ($4,200 + $3,000 + $2,800 = $10,000 from transactions a, b, and c). The result is a credit balance of $4,400 in Manufacturing Overhead. To close the ending balance, then, we debit Manufacturing Overhead by $4,400 and credit Cost of Goods Sold by $4,400.

Why? Because Macho Mike allocated too much manufacturing overhead to each job, resulting in cost of goods sold being too high (meaning the jobs were charged too much overhead during the period). To close the balance in Manufacturing Overhead, Macho Mike applies a decrease to Cost of Goods Sold.

Process Costing
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW Sometimes when you have the opportunity, like on vacation, you may want to catch up on reading several books of interest. Assume that you started reading three books and were approximately twothirds done reading each of them at the end of the week. If you were asked how many books you finished reading, you would have to say none. But that answer would not indicate the amount of time spent during the week reading. You read two-thirds of each of the three books, which is equivalent to reading two complete books (2/3 ! 3 = 2) over the course of the week. Using an equivalent number of books accurately quantifies the amount of work completed during the week. In this chapter, we study the computation of inventory costs. To determine the cost of work in process, we use this concept of equivalent units for those inventory items that are partially complete.
Learning Objectives
1
Distinguish between the flow of costs in process costing and job order costing. In Chapter 16, we learned that job order costing is an appropriate system for companies that produce unique jobs, batches, or assignments. Process costing is an appropriate system for companies that mass-produce many similar products in a continuous fashion such as food and beverage, paint, or chemical manufacturers. The flow of costs through both of these systems is similar.The three components of cost—direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead—are included in the product cost. After the goods are produced, they are transferred from Work in Process to Finished Goods. When the goods are sold, the costs are transferred from Finished Goods to Cost of Goods Sold. The difference between the two systems occurs during the processing stage. When direct materials, direct labor, and overhead are applied, the Work in Process account is debited under both systems. The job order costing system includes a subsidiary ledger of job cost records.The sum of the job cost records, which include the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead for each job, should always equal the one Work in Process account balance. Under process costing, each of the processing departments may have a Work in Process account. The Work in Process costs will flow from department to department while in production until the product is complete and the costs are transferred into Finished Goods. Review Exhibit 17-1 (p. 900) for a comparison between the cost flows of job order and process costing systems.

Compute equivalent units. Equivalent units express the amount of work done during a period in terms of fully complete units of output in order to calculate the cost incurred for each unit. At the end of the period, some of those costs will be transferred either to the next Work in Process account or to Finished Goods. To calculate equivalent units, the department’s physical flow of inventory is first determined. Inputs must equal outputs. Beginning units in process plus those started in the department are the inputs or accountable units. The ending units in process and those completed and transferred out are the outputs, or units accounted for. Equivalent units are determined for direct materials and conversion costs separately for the outputs. Those units completed and transferred out are 100% complete for direct materials and conversion costs; the physical units and equivalent units are the same. For ending Work in Process units, a determination of the percentage complete for direct materials and conversion costs must be made. The physical units multiplied by the percentage complete equals the equivalent units. Review Exhibit 17-3 (p. 903) and Exhibits 17-5 and 17-6 (pp. 906–907) for an illustration and calculation of equivalent units.
3
Use process costing to assign costs to units completed and to units in ending work in process inventory. The direct materials and conversion costs are determined by adding the costs from beginning inventory, if any, to the costs added to the department for the period. The total costs are divided by the respective equivalent units to determine the cost per equivalent units, as shown in Demo Doc 1. The units completed will be assigned the full unit cost— direct materials plus conversion cost. The equivalent units of ending work in process are allocated the respective cost per equivalent unit to determine the cost of ending work in process inventory. Review Exhibits 17-8 and 17-9 (pp. 908–909) for the calculation of costs to units completed and in ending work in process inventory.
4
Use the weighted-average method to assign costs to units completed and to units in ending work in process inventory in a second department. The procedure to calculate the cost of units completed and of units in ending work in process in a second department is similar to that described in objective 3. The difference is a third column for the transferred in equivalent units and costs. All of the units completed and in ending work in process will be allocated the transferred in cost per unit. Review Exhibits 17-12 to 17-16 (pp. 913–917) for illustrations of calculating and assigning costs to units completed and to units in ending work in process inventory in a second department.

Materials are added at the beginning of the blending production process, so equivalent units for materials are the same as the total units. Completed units are 100% for conversion costs (98,000). Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the blending process, so the conversion equivalent units for ending work in process inventory are the total units in ending work in process multiplied by the percent complete. 18,000 ! 70% " 12,600
Remember, conversion costs include both direct labor and manufacturing overhead.

Demo Doc 2 Weighted-Average Process Costing Learning Objectives 2, 3, 4 Easy Flow produces tubes for toothpaste. Easy has two departments: molding and packaging. In the second department, packaging, conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. Packaging materials are not added until the end of the packaging process. Costs in beginning work in process inventory include transferred in costs of $28,360, direct labor of $12,369, and manufacturing overhead of $10,000. October data from the packaging department are as follows:

Part 4
The 110,000 units completed and transferred out are 100% completed regarding transferred in, direct materials, and conversion costs, so the equivalent units are 100%. The ending work in process inventory is 100% complete regarding transferred in. In other words, Easy Flow doesn’t need to transfer any additional costs from another department to complete the units in ending inventory. Because direct materials are added at the end of the packaging process, they are zero complete in terms of work in process. Units in ending inventory are only 30% finished in terms of conversion costs. Another way to think of this situation is that the conversion costs applied to the ending inventory so far will complete 15,700 units 30% of the way (15,700 ! 0.30 = 4,710), or those same conversion costs would complete 4,710 units 100% of the way.

Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW If you decide to sign up for cell phone service, you know you have a choice of providers and plans. Assume that you are debating whether to enroll in one of two plans. The first plan has 450 free anytime minutes, which costs $40 a month plus $0.45/minute beyond 450. The second plan has 900 free anytime minutes, which costs $60 a month plus $0.40/minute beyond 900. Your objective is to minimize your cost. To accomplish this evaluation, you are using concepts like fixed and variable costs that we will study in this chapter. The monthly amount of $40 or $60 is fixed; once the plan is selected, you will be charged that monthly amount regardless of the number of minutes you use. In addition, you will be charged a variable cost per minute if you exceed the allowed number of minutes. If you estimate that you will be using about 600 anytime minutes, which plan is cheaper? Plan one would be $40 + [(600 – 450) × $0.45] = $107.50; plan two would be $60 + 0 = $60. The second plan is cheaper.
Learning Objectives
1
Identify how changes in volume of activity affect costs. There are three types of costs: fixed, variable, and mixed. Fixed costs are costs that do not change over wide ranges of volume. The range of volume over which fixed costs are constant is called the relevant range. Building rent, furniture depreciation, and the salary of an office manager would be examples of fixed costs. If fixed costs are $100,000 and 10,000 units are produced, the fixed cost per unit is $100,000/10,000 = $10. If the volume doubles to 20,000 units, the fixed cost per unit is reduced to $5 per unit. Variable costs are costs that increase in total as the volume of activity increases and decreases as the volume of activity decreases. Total variable costs change in direct proportion to changes in volume. Direct materials and direct labor are examples of variable costs. If it costs $3 per unit for direct materials, the total variable costs when 10,000 units are produced is $30,000. If the volume doubles to 20,000, the total variable cost is now $60,000, but the variable cost per unit is unchanged at $3 per unit. Mixed costs have both variable and fixed components. The high-low method is used to separate the mixed cost into the variable and fixed elements. Review Exhibits 18-1 and 18-2 (p. 959) to see the impact of varying volume amounts on total variable and fixed costs.

Use CVP analysis to compute breakeven points. The breakeven point is the sales level at which operating income is zero. Sales revenue equals total fixed and variable costs. You can use three approaches to compute the breakeven point. The income statement approach uses the income statement to facilitate the calculation of breakeven units sold (see Demo Doc 1). Contribution margin is the difference between sales revenue and variable costs. The contribution margin approach is a shortcut to the income statement approach. The contribution margin ratio approach is used when you don’t have detailed information on individual products. You will use these three approaches in Demo Doc 1. Rounding Note: When calculating the breakeven sales units or sales dollars, it is possible to obtain a fractional amount. To be conservative, you should always round up to the next higher unit or dollar.
3
Use CVP analysis for profit planning, and graph the cost-volumeprofit relations. As you will see in Demo Doc 1, you can use the three approaches to compute breakeven to also determine the number of units that must be sold to create a desired net income. The cost-volume-profit relationship can be graphed using increments of volume within the relevant range as the horizontal axis and dollars as the vertical axis. Total sales revenue is zero at zero volume and would increase linearly $35 for each unit of volume using the example in the section called Using CVP to Plan Profits of the main textbook. Total costs would start on the vertical axis at $7,000, the total fixed costs, and would increase linearly $21 for variable costs for each unit of volume. The point at which the total sales revenue line equals total costs is the breakeven point. Drawing a vertical line from that point would indicate the breakeven volume in units. Review the example in the main textbook for computations of sales units and dollars to achieve desired results. Review the cost-volume-profit graph in Exhibit 18-6 (p. 968).
4
Use CVP methods to perform sensitivity analyses. Sensitivity analysis is a “what if” technique that shows how profits will be affected if sales prices, costs, or underlying assumptions change. Using technology tools with an understanding of the interrelationship between the elements of cost, volume, and profit you can determine what the effect may be on net income of making business decisions.
5
Calculate the breakeven point for multiple product lines or services. Most companies sell multiple product lines or services. Each product or service may have a different contribution margin. It is necessary to calculate the weighted-average contribution margin of all of the sales using a sales mix, as you will see in Demo Doc 2. A sales mix is the combination of products that make up total sales.

The contribution margin tells managers how much revenue is left after paying variable costs. That revenue is used for contributing toward first covering fixed costs and then generating a profit. The contribution margin is calculated by subtracting variable costs from the sales revenue. Therefore: Sales Price per Unit – Variable Cost per Unit Contribution Margin per Unit
Crew Cut’s variable cost per lawn (unit) is $18. Therefore, its unit contribution margin is: Sales Price per Lawn " Variable Cost per Lawn Contribution Marrgin per Lawn
$30 (18) $12
After variable costs are covered, Crew Cut has $12 per lawn that then contributes toward fixed costs until fixed costs are covered, after which point Crew Cut will begin to generate a $12 profit per lawn. Breakeven is the level of sales at which total operating revenues is equal to total expenses (fixed and variable). In other words, the level at which income is zero. To compute breakeven using the contribution margin approach: Fixed Cost Contribution Margin per Unit $1,200 ! $12 ! 100 L awns
Breakeven !
In this case, Crew Cut must be able to mow 100 lawns per month to break even. That’s because at 100 lawns, Crew Cut earns just enough contribution margin to cover total fixed costs. Every lawn mowed after the breakeven point contributes the unit contribution margin to profit. For example, if Crew Cut mows 101 lawns, then it would earn a $12 profit.

So far, we have seen that computing the breakeven point for a simple business that sells only one product is pretty straightforward. Larger companies that don’t have detailed information on individual products use its contribution margin ratio to predict profits, rather than using individual unit contribution margins on each of its products. The contribution margin ratio is the ratio of contribution margin to sales revenue. In other words, it computes its breakeven point in terms of sales dollars. This calculation enables managers to do CVP analysis with aggregated information across many products with varied selling prices. We calculate the contribution margin ratio as follows: Contribution Margin Ratio !
2
Use CVP analysis to compute breakeven points
Contribution Margin per Unit Sales Revenue per Unit
So, in this case, the contribution margin ratio is equal to the contribution margin per unit (determined in Requirement 1 to be $12 per lawn) divided by the sales revenue per unit ($30 per lawn). Contribution Margin Ratio ! !
$12 $30 $0.40 0 (or 40%)
Each dollar of sales revenue contributes 40% ($0.40) toward fixed costs and profit. To compute breakeven using the contribution margin ratio: Breakeven Sales in Dollars !
Fixed Cost Contribution Margin Ratio
We know that Crew Cut’s fixed cost is $1,200 and its contribution margin ratio is 40%, so: Breakeven Sales in Dollars ! !
$1,200 40% $3,000
Crew Cut must produce revenue of $3,000 per month to cover its fixed costs and variable costs (that is, break even). This result is consistent with our previous calculations for breakeven (that is, 100 lawns × $30 per lawn = $3,000).

By multiplying Crew Cut’s breakeven in units, 100, by what it charges to mow each lawn, $30, we’ve proven that our answers to Requirements 1 and 2 are the same because the result equals the same as what we calculated in Requirement 2, $3,000. Sales Revenue (100 Units $ $30) $3,000 Less: Variable Cost (100 Units $ $18) 1,800 Total Contribution Margin $1,200 Less: Fixed Cost 1,,200 Operating Income $ 0

After deducting the variable cost of $1,800 for 100 lawns and the fixed cost of $1,200, the income statement illustrates that Crew Cut would produce $0 operating income at a breakeven level of 100 units.
Requirement 4 The owner of Crew Cut currently works for another lawn service and earns $2,800 per month.

Up until now, we’ve computed how many lawns (or sales revenue) Crew Cut needs to mow in order to break even. We know that it must mow 100 lawns, or the equivalent of $3,000 in sales, to break even. Anything less would be a loss. Anything more would be profit. Now, Crew Cut wants to know how many lawns it needs to mow to generate $2,800 in profit. Because Crew Cut wants to know the number of lawns (units), we’ll use the formula based on the unit contribution margin. Using the contribution margin approach, use the desired profit of $2,800 as fixed cost (in CVP analysis, always think of desired profit as a fixed cost):
Desired Profit Sales Level !

In this way, it’s similar to calculating breakeven, except now the desired profit is treated as a fixed cost in our calculations (remember, the contribution margin per unit is equal to selling price per unit minus variable cost per unit): Desired Profit Sales Level ! ! !
$1,200 # $2,800 $30 " $18 $4,000 $12 333.33, rounded to 334 lawnss
Once you know the breakeven, another way to think of it is to divide desired profit by contribution margin and add the difference to the breakeven: $2,800/$12 ! 234 lawns (rounded) 234 lawns # 100 breakeven ! 334 lawns
This analysis shows that Crew Cut must mow 334 lawns to earn a profit of $2,800 (remember, we round up in this case to avoid partial units). If Crew Cut also wanted to know how much sales revenue it would need to earn $2,800 profit, it could use this figure to do the calculation: 334 lawns × $30 per lawn ! $10,020 sales revenue
The desired profit is treated as a fixed cost in our calculations. Using 334 lawns to achieve the desired profit, the owner of Crew Cut can decide whether it is worth leaving his current job to start Crew Cut. These data can also be used as a management tool to help determine marketing strategy, hiring policy, and aid in other types of decision making. As before, you can use the income statement approach to prove these figures: Sales Revenue (334 $ $30) Less: Total Variable Costs (334 $ $18)
$10,020 6,012
Total Contribution Margin (334 $ $12) $ 4,008 Less: Total Fixed Costs 1,200 Operating Income
$ 2,808 *
*The $8 operating income results from rounding a lawn [($334 – 333.33) × $12] ! $8.
Whenever rounding must occur in a problem, such as when we rounded up from 333.33 to 334 lawns to avoid a partial unit, a small difference can result when proving the numbers in this way.

To determine how changes in sales prices, costs, or volume affect profits, let’s first start by calculating the current breakeven point. To determine the breakeven point, we first must calculate the contribution margin per unit. The contribution margin per unit is calculated by subtracting variable costs from the sales revenue. Therefore:
2
Use CVP analysis to compute breakeven points
4
Use CVP methods to perform sensitivity analyses
Contribution Margin per Unit ! Sales Price per Unit – Variable Cost per Unit
Hacker’s variable cost per club (unit) is the price it pays for each club ($22) plus its additional variable costs ($6). Therefore, its unit contribution margin is: Selling Price per Club Variable Cost per Club ($22 # $6)
$48
Contribution Margin per Club
$20
(28)
The contribution margin represents the amount from each unit sold that is available to recover fixed costs. That means that after variable costs are covered, Hacker earns $20 per club, which then contributes toward fixed costs until fixed costs are covered, after which point Hacker will begin to generate $20 profit per club sold. Breakeven is the level of sales at which income is zero. To compute breakeven using the contribution margin approach: Breakeven ! ! !

In this case, the selling price is changing, but Hacker’s variable and fixed costs are staying the same as in the original question ($28 and $16,000, respectively). The new selling price for the club is going to be $1.95 higher than the original price: from $48.00 to $49.95.

Once we update the original data to reflect the changes, the data are then processed with the same calculations. First, calculate the new contribution margin: Selling Price per Club Variable Cost pe er Club ($22 # $6)
$49.95 (28.00)
Contribution Margin per Club
$21.95
Using the contribution margin approach: Breakeven in Units ! ! !
Fixed Cost Contribution Margin per Unit $16,000.00 $21.95 728.93, rou unded up to 729 trainer clubs
Again, we round because Hacker cannot sell a partial unit (the .93 in the actual calculation). With the increased selling price, breakeven has been reduced from 800 clubs to 729 clubs. The higher price means that each club contributes more to fixed costs. You can prove this using the income statement approach: Sales Revenue (729 $ $49.95) $36,414 Less: Variable Costs (729 $ $28) 20,412 Total Contribution Margin 16,002 Less: Fixed Costs 16,000 Operating Income $ 2* *The $2 profit results from rounding 728.93 clubs to 729 (0.07 × $21.95 ! $2).
We round the sales revenue total in this case to make sure that our figures balance. Remember that as selling prices increase (provided all costs remain the same), the volume required to break even or achieve target profit goals decreases. Conversely, as selling prices decrease, the volume required to break even or achieve target profit goals increases. Consider the following: Selling price goes from $50 to $60, variable costs stay at $20, and total fixed costs are $60,000.
Old contribution margin was $50 – $20 = $30. Old breakeven point in units was $60,000/$30 = 2,000 units. New contribution margin is $60 – $20 = $40. New breakeven point in units is $60,000/$40 = 1,500 units. The relationship between contribution margin (an increase of $10 in this case) and breakeven in units (a decrease of 500 units in this case) is an inverse relationship.

In this case, we calculate as we normally would, except that our contribution margin will be different:

Use CVP methods to perform sensitivity analyses
Contribution Margin per Unit ! Sales Price per Unit – Variable Cost per Unit
Hacker’s variable cost per club (unit) is the price it pays for each club (now $19) plus its additional variable costs ($6). Therefore, its unit contribution margin is: Fixed Cost Total Sales ! in Units Weighted-Average Contribution Margin per Unit
Using the contribution margin approach: Selling price per club $48 " Variable cost per club ($19 # $6) (25) $23 Contribution margin per club
With the reduced variable cost, Hacker’s breakeven in units decreases from 800 clubs to 696 clubs. Using this information, Hacker’s management must decide if it is worth the risk to switch to a new producer. You can also prove this result using the income statement approach: Sales Revenue (696 $ $48)

Calculating the breakeven point is fairly straightforward when a company is only dealing with one product. But Hacker is now considering selling two products rather than just the one. Now breakeven becomes a little more complicated. Different products will have different effects on the contribution margins because of different costs and selling prices. So the company needs to consider the sales mix (a combination of products that make up total sales) in figuring CVP relationships. You can use the same formulas to determine the breakeven point considering the sales mix, but before calculating breakeven, you must calculate the weighted-average contribution margin of all the products first. You saw another weighted-average for process costing in Chapter 17. In this case, the sales mix provides the weights. Step 1: Calculate the weighted-average contribution margin. Hacker believes that it can sell one glove for every four trainer clubs that it sells, for a 4-to-1 sales mix. So it expect that 4/5 (or 80%) of its sales will be trainer clubs, and 1/5 (or 20%) of its sales will be gloves. Recall that Hacker pays $28 in variable costs for its clubs and sells them for $48, for a contribution margin of $20 per unit. The gloves will cost $5 per pair and sell for $9, for a contribution margin of $4 per unit: Clubs

The weighted-average contribution margin is calculated by multiplying the contribution margin per unit by the sales mix expected for each.

The next step is to calculate the breakeven in units for the bundle of proucts. Step 2: Calculate the breakeven point in units for the total of both products combined using the following formula:

Recall that we round up because Hacker cannot sell a partial unit. Hacker must sell a combined 953 clubs and gloves to break even. Management needs to know how many units of each product must be sold to break even. The next step is to determine the breakeven point in units for each product.

Step 3: Calculate the breakeven in units for each product line.

So from this analysis, we know that Hacker needs to sell 763 trainer clubs and 191 gloves to break even. The breakeven point in sales dollars is: 763 clubs $ $48 ! $36,624 # 191 gloves $ $9 ! $ 1,719 Total ! $38,343

The Master Budget and Responsibility Accounting
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW You may have wanted to purchase something you’ve had to save for over a period of time. To project how you would accomplish your goal, you might have made a plan. You would consider the amount of money available at the beginning of your plan plus the forecasted cash receipts less cash disbursements over the period to reach your goal. You probably already know that by addressing your financial goal and creating a cash budget, you are able to plan for the future and make decisions to facilitate achieving your goal. If the period of time is sufficiently long, you can compare your actual to your budgeted cash flows during interim periods and make changes as warranted. Some of these may include: • Initiate steps to increase cash inflows, perhaps work more hours. • Initiate steps to decrease cash outflows, cut back on lesserimportant spending. • Initiate steps to finance the shortfall, pursue borrowing opportunities. • Postpone or abandon the purchase plan. In this chapter, we will study the various budgets that companies create and look at the usefulness of the budgeting process for all financial entities.
Learning Objectives
1
Learn how to use a budget. Budgeting helps managers plan and control their actions. Management creates organizational goals. Action steps are planned to achieve those goals. The budget is the anticipated financial results of taking those action steps. The actual results can be compared to the budget and corrective action taken where necessary. Review Exhibits 19-2 and 19-3 (pp. 1009–-1010) for the usefulness and benefits of budgets.
2
Prepare an operating budget. The sales budget is the first part of the operating budget that must be prepared. Expected sales units and future sales prices are used in the budget. This budget will drive the remainder of the operating budget, such as the cost of goods sold, inventory, purchase, and operating expense budgets. Review Exhibits 19-6 through 19-8 (p. 1013) for examples of operating budgets.

Prepare a financial budget. The financial budget includes the cash and balance sheet budgets. The cash budget contains the beginning cash balance, projected cash collections, cash payments, financing required, and the ending cash balance. The period in which items as sales and purchases on account result in cash flows must be projected and integrated into the cash budget. After completing all of the operating and cash budgets, a projection of the balance sheet account balances can be determined. This information is used to prepare the balance sheet budget. Review Exhibits 19-10 to 19-13 (pp. 1017–1019) for components of a cash budget. Review Exhibit 19-15 (p. 1023) for the computation of balance sheet projected account balances and Exhibit 19-14 (p. 1022) for a budgeted balance sheet.

Prepare performance reports for responsibility centers. A responsibility center is a part or subunit of an organization whose manager is accountable for specific activities. Performance reports compare the budget to the actual results for each responsibility center. The performance of the managers of each center can then be evaluated. There are four responsibility centers: • Cost center. Only costs or expenses are incurred. The human resources, acounting, and information technology departments are examples of cost centers. The goal of the manager is to minimize costs. • Revenue center. Primarily revenues are incurred although some related expenses may also be relevant. A sales department would be a revenue center. Managers are assessed based upon the revenues generated. The goal of the manager is to maximize revenues. • Profit center. Responsible for revenues and expenses, and ultimately profits or net income. The goal of the manager is to exceed the profit projection. The sales and costs related to the Lipton Cup-a-Soup product line would be an example of a profit center. • Investment center. Responsible for the results of the investment as well as the profits of the entity. The foods division of Lipton would be considered an investment center. Managers are responsible for making sales, maintaining expenses, and managing the investment required to generate profits.
Review Exhibit 19-17 (p. 1028) for examples of responsibility centers and responsibility accounting performance reports in Exhibit 19-19 (p. 1027).

Joe University sells college sweatshirts. Actual sales for the month ended September 30, 2008, were $20,000. Joe expects sales to increase 8% in October and increase another 4% over October sales in November. Cash sales are expected to be 60% of total sales and credit sales about 40% of sales. Cost of goods sold should be 60% of total sales. Joe doesn’t want inventory to fall below $4,000 plus 10% of cost of goods sold for the next month. Sales of $25,000 are expected for December. Inventory on September 30 is $6,000. Operating expenses include sales commission, 10% of sales; rent expense of $1,000; depreciation expense of $1,200; utility expense of $800; and insurance expense of $400. Round all figures to the nearest dollar.

We prepare the sales budget first because sales affect most elements of the other budgets we will be preparing for this period. In order to complete the sales budget, we start by calculating the total sales for each month. We will then compute the split between cash sales and credit sales for each month based on Joe’s estimation that cash sales will be 60% of the total sales for each month and credit sales will be 40% of total sales for each month. Let’s begin by calculating Joe’s total sales for October and November. The question tells us that actual sales for the month ended September 30 were $20,000, and that Joe expects sales to increase by 8% over that in October and another 4% over October’s sales in November: October Total Sales ! September Sales "108% October Total Sales ! $20,000 "108% ! $21,600 Novemb ber Total Sales ! October Sales "104% November Total Sales ! $21,600 "104% ! $22,464
So we begin to build our sales budget with these data:
JOE UNIVERSITY Sales Budget October Cash sales, 60% Credit sales, 40% Total sales
$21,600
November
$22,464
Total
$44,064
Now we work backwards to calculate the split between cash and credit sales for each month. In this case, cash sales are 60% of total sales and credit sales are 40% of total sales for the current months: Cash Sales October Cash Sales November Cash Sales Credit Sales October Credit Sales November Credit Sales 644

A total sales budget for October and November comes to $44,064, with 60% of that ($26,438.40, rounded to $26,438) from cash and 40% ($17,625.60, rounded to $17,626) from credit. Because the sales budget calculates values that you will use when preparing other budgets, it’s always a good idea to check your work. These calculations can be performed in a number of ways.

So we first calculate the cost of goods sold. We know from the question that cost of goods sold is expected to be 60% of total sales for the period. From the sales budget, we know that total sales for October are expected to be $21,600, and total sales for November are expected to be $22,464. So we can calculate cost of goods sold as follows: Cost of Goods Sold ! 60% of Budgeted Sales from the Sales Budget October ! $21,600 " 60% ! $12,960 November ! $22,464 " 60% ! $13,478
So here’s our budget so far:
JOE UNIVERSITY Inventory, Purchases, and Cost of Goods Sold Budget
Cost of goods sold ! Desired ending inventory Total inventory required " Beginning inventory Purchases
October November $12,960 $13,478
Next, we need to add the desired ending inventory for each month. The question states that Joe doesn’t want inventory to fall below $4,000 plus 10% of cost of goods sold for the next month. So in order to calculate the desired ending inventory for November, we need to know the cost of goods sold for December. The question tells us that December’s sales are expected to be $25,000. Returning to our calculation for cost of goods sold: Cost of Goods Sold ! 60% of Budgeted Sales from the Sales Budget December ! $25,000 " 60% ! $15,000
Desired ending inventory is now calculated as follows: Desired Ending Inventory ! $4,000 # 10% of Cost of Goods Sold for the Next Month October ! $4,000 # (10% " $13,478) ! $5,348 November ! $4,000 # (10% " $15,000) ! $5,500
We can now calculate the total ending inventory required:
JOE UNIVERSITY Inventory, Purchases, and Cost of Goods Sold Budget

Beginning inventory is equal to the previous month’s desired ending inventory. We are told in the question that the inventory on September 30 is $6,000, so this figure becomes October’s beginning inventory. Once we determine beginning inventory, we subtract it from the total inventory required to determine total purchases for the period:
JOE UNIVERSITY Inventory, Purchases, and Cost of Goods Sold Budget October November $12,960 $13,478 5,348 5,500 $18,308 $18,978 6,000 5,348 $12,308 $13,630

So the only calculation to perform here is sales commission. We can compute sales commissions for October and November using the respective sales computations ($21,600 and $22,464) from the sales budget: Sales Commission ! Expected Sales "10% October Sales Commission ! $21,600 "10% ! $2,160 November Sales Commis ssion ! $22,464 "10% ! $2,246.40 (rounded to $2,246)

Joe University prepared its sales budget; inventory, purchases, and cost of goods sold budget; operating expense budget; and budgeted income statement. Joe would now like to prepare the cash budget for the months of October and November. Actual sales for the month ended September 30, 2008, were $20,000. Actual sales for the month ended August 31 were $16,000. Joe believes that sales will increase 8% in October and increase another 4% over October sales in November. Cash sales are expected to be 60% of sales and credit sales about 40% of sales. Cost of goods sold is expected to be 60% of total sales. Joe doesn’t want inventory to fall below $4,000 plus 10% of cost of goods sold for the next month. Sales of $25,000 are expected for December. Joe purchased $11,000 inventory during September and ended the month with $6,000 in ending inventory. Operating expenses include sales commission, 10% of sales; rent expense of $1,000; depreciation expense of $1,200; utility expense of $800; and insurance expense of $400. September 30 cash balance was $4,000. Of the credit sales, Joe expects to collect 70% in the month following the sale and the remaining 30% in the next month. Purchases made by Joe University are paid for in the month after the purchase. Sales commissions are paid 50% in the month incurred and 50% in the next month. Rent, utility, and insurance are paid in the month incurred.
Requirements 1. For the months of October and November, prepare the following: a. Budgeted cash collections from customers b. Budgeted cash payments for purchases c. Budgeted cash payments for operating expenses d. The cash budget

Armed with the budget data we calculated in Demo Doc 1, we can start to prepare the cash budget. We begin with the budgeted cash collections from customers, which we’ll use in part d of this Demo Doc to calculate total cash available for the period. We computed the cash sales for October and November on the sales budget as $12,960 and $13,478, respectively. To cash sales we add any credit collections that Joe makes in this period. Joe expects to collect on credit sales at a rate of 70% in the month following the sale and 30% in the next month. In October, then, Joe expects to collect 70% of any credit sales made in September and 30% of credit sales made in August. Likewise, in November, Joe will collect 70% of October’s credit sales and 30% of September’s credit sales. Before we can calculate how much in credit sales Joe will collect in October and November, we need to see the sales data for August and September because collections are being made from those two months. We know from the question that total August sales were $16,000 and total September sales were $20,000. We also know that Joe expects 40% of total sales each month to be credit sales. So if we were to figure Joe’s sales budget data for August and September, credit sales would look like this:

Prepare a financial budget
August Credit Sales ! August Total Sales " 40% ! $16, 000 " 40% ! $6, 400 September Credit Sales ! September Total Sales " 40% ! $20, 000 " 40% ! $8, 000
Given these data, Joe’s sales budget for the period August through November would look like the following (although note that the only data you’re interested in at this point are the highlighted data):
JOE UNIVERSITY Sales Budget

Remember that credit sales for October and November came from the sales budget in Demo Doc 1. So for October, Joe expects to collect 30% of credit sales made in August and 70% of credit sales made in September: October Collections from August Credit Sales ! $6,400 " 30% ! $1,920 October Collections from September Credit Sales ! $8,000 " 70% ! $5,600
For November, Joe expects to collect 30% of credit sales made in September and 70% of credit sales made in October ($8,640, taken from the sales budget created in Demo Doc 1, part a): November Collections from September Credit Sales ! $8, 000 " 30% ! $2, 400 November Collections from October Credit Sales ! $8, 640 " 70% ! $6, 048

We can calculate commissions from the current month for October and November as: October ! $2,160 " 50% ! $1, 080 November ! $2, 246 " 50% ! $1,123
So far, we have sales commissions from the current month and all other operating expenses, as follows:

1,000 800 400
Total $ 2,203 2,000 1,600 800
The question tells us that actual sales for the month ending September 30 were $20,000 and that sales commissions amount to 10% of actual sales. So total sales commissions for September are $20,000 # 10% = $2,000. Knowing these numbers, we can compute the sales commission payments from the previous month for October and November as: October ! $2,000 " 50% ! $1,000 November ! $2,160 " 50% ! $1,080
Our final statement now looks like this:

To prepare the cash budget, you start with the beginning cash balance and add the budgeted cash collections that you computed in part a. Cash payments for purchases and operating expenses are then subtracted to achieve the ending cash balance. Beginning cash balance is from the ending cash balance of the previous month. September’s ending balance as given in the question becomes October’s beginning cash balance, $4,000. Cash collections are from budgeted cash collections from customers. Adding the beginning cash balance to the collections gives you the available cash for the month:

19-5. Answer the following completely. (pp. 1008–1011) a. Define the term budget. A budget is a quantitative expression of a plan of action that helps managers coordinate and implement the plan. b. Identify four benefits of budgeting. The four benefits of budgeting include: 1. Budgeting compels planning. Budgeting helps managers set realistic goals by requiring them to plan specific actions to meet their goals. Budgeting also helps managers prepare for a range of conditions and plan for contingencies. 2. Budgeting promotes coordination and communication. The master budget coordinates the activities of the organization. It forces managers to consider relationships among operations across the entire value chain. 3. Budgeting aids performance evaluation. To evaluate a department or activity, its actual results may be compared either to its budget or its past performance. In general, the budget is a better benchmark because it considers current changes stemming from past conditions. 4. Budgeting can affect behavior and motivate employees. The budgeting process prompts managers to look further into the future than they would look otherwise and foresee and avoid problems. c. Should employees participate in the budgeting process or should management prepare the budgets alone? Explain. Employees should participate in the budgeting process so that they can bear ownership of the plan. If employees are excluded from this process and unrealistic goals are set, employee morale can be deflated, especially if the employees’ performance is judged against these standards. If employees help to create the budget, it can be a motivating factor to achieve the desired outcome.

Flexible Budgets and Standard Costs
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW Various budgets including a cash budget were covered in Chapter 19. Assume you had budgeted $400 as your monthly automobile expenditures and found that you actually spent $425. At first glance, it appears to be an unfavorable difference. The budget of $400 was created assuming that your travel would be 1,000 miles and your costs consist of auto insurance of $100, gasoline of $125 (1,000 miles/20 miles per gallon ! $2.50 per gallon), and a $175 repayment of the car loan. If you find that you used the car 1,200 miles this month, you probably already know that you should not be held to the original, static budget. The budget should be “flexible” to allow for differences in the level of activity that impacts costs. The flexible budget for 1,200 miles should be $100 + $175 + (1,200 miles/20 miles per gallon ! $2.50 per gallon) = $425. When the actual results are compared to the flexible budget, the result is no variance. In this chapter, we will study the creation and evaluation of flexible budgets.
Learning Objectives
1
Prepare a flexible budget for the income statement. Flexible budgets are budgets that summarize cost and revenue information for several different volume levels within a relevant range. To prepare a flexible budget, the variable cost per unit and total fixed costs must be determined. You will prepare a flexible budget in Demo Doc 1. Review the flexible budget in Exhibit 20-2 (p. 1069).
2
Prepare an income statement performance report. The income statement performance report shows the difference between the actual results and expected results. The difference between the actual results at actual volume and the budgeted results at expected sales volume is the static budget variance. A component of the variance may be due to the actual sales volume differing from the budgeted sales volume, called the sales volume variance. The other component of the variance may be due to the actual amounts at actual volume differing from the budgeted amounts at actual volume; this difference is called the flexible budget variance. The static budget variance is the total of the sales volume variance and the flexible budget variance. Review Exhibit 20-3 (p. 1070) for an illustration of the relationship between the static budget variance, the flexible budget variance, and the sales volume variance. Review the income statement performance report in Exhibit 20-4 (p. 1071).

Identify the benefits of standard costs and learn how to set standards. Many managers use standard costing because it helps them better plan and control levels of performance and provide a goal for employees to work toward. In addition, record-keeping costs are reduced because it’s easier to value all inventory at standard, and it provides cost information to determine the sales prices. See Exhibit 20-5 (p. 1073) for standard setting issues relating to standard costing.
4
Compute standard cost variances for direct materials and direct labor. The actual production costs are compared to the standard costs periodically. A variance may result due to the price or the quantity used. A price variance measures the difference between the actual price and the standard price multiplied by the actual quantity. A quantity or efficiency variance measures how well the business uses its materials or human resources. The quantity variance measures the difference in the actual and standard quantities multiplied by the standard price per unit. Review Exhibit 20-7 (p. 1076) for an illustration of the relationship between the variances, and Exhibit 20-9 (p. 1078) for a computation of price and quantity variances.
5
Analyze manufacturing overhead in a standard cost system. The total manufacturing overhead variance is the difference between the actual overhead incurred and the standard overhead. The standard overhead amount is the product of the standard overhead rate and the standard allocation base at the actual volume. Recall that the standard overhead rate is computed before the period begins as: Standard Overhead Rate !
Expected Manufacturing Overhead Costs Expected Quantity of Alloccation Base
The total overhead variance can be separated between the overhead flexible budget variance and the production volume variance. The overhead flexible budget variance shows how well management has controlled overhead costs. It is computed in exactly the same way as the flexible budget variances for direct materials and direct labor. The overhead flexible budget variance can be measured as the difference between the actual overhead cost and the flexible budget overhead for the actual number of outputs. The production volume variance arises when actual production differs from expected production. It is the difference between the flexible budget for the actual outputs and the standard overhead allocated to actual production.

Record transactions at standard cost and prepare a standard cost income statement. The standard cost system requires that the cost of inventory be recorded at the standard amount. This procedure permits variances to be recorded as soon as possible. If the variance is unfavorable, actual costs exceed the standard costs. The unfavorable variance is recorded as a debit to the Variance account and is treated as an expense on the income statement. If the variance is favorable, actual costs are less than the standard costs. The favorable variance is recorded as a credit to the Variance account and is treated as a contra-expense on the income statement. The recorded variances are shown on the standard cost income statement as an adjustment to the cost of goods sold. Review the Standard Cost Accounting System section in the main text for sample journal entries and Exhibit 20-12 (p. 1086) for the flow of costs in a standard costing system. Review Exhibit 20-13 (p. 1086) for a sample standard cost income statement.

It is difficult for management to analyze results when the actual volume differs from the static budget. Therefore, companies will produce flexible budgets, which are budgets that summarize cost and revenue information for several different volume levels within a relevant range. Virus Detection would prepare a flexible budget if managers aren’t sure about their projected sales volume of 5,400 sensors. Virus Detection’s flexible budget would show how its revenues and expenses should vary at different volume levels. Depending upon the volume within the relevant range, a budget can be determined for each amount of activity using the following formula:
1
Prepare a flexible budget for the income statement
Number of Variable Cost Flexible Budget Total Cost ! " # Total Fixed Cost Out p ut Units per Output Unit
For Virus Detection, the following would be its flexible budget for 5,200, 5,400, 5,600, and 6,000 sensors:
VIRUS DETECTION SENSOR Flexible Budget Year Ending 2010 Flexible Budget per Output Unit Sales revenue Variable expenses Fixed expenses Total expenses Operating income (loss)
Output Units (sensors) 5,200 5,400 5,600 6,000 $1,000 $5,200,000 $5,400,000 $5,600,000 $6,000,000 3,720,000 3,472,000 3,348,000 620 3,224,000 2,100,000 2,100,000 2,100,000 2,100,000 5,820,000 5,572,000 5,448,000 5,324,000 $ (124,000) $ (48,000) $ 28,000 $ 180,000
Notice how the total fixed expenses stay constant at $2,100,000 across all four scenarios, yet revenue and variable expenses change. Remember that variable expenses are constant per unit; they are called variable because total variable costs change with level of activity. As you can see, with an output of 5,200 units, Virus Detection would generate 5,200 ! $1,000 per unit = $5,200,000 in sales revenue. Meanwhile, its expenses would be 5,200 ! $620 = $3,224,000 variable expenses, plus $2,100,000 fixed expenses = $5,324,000 in total expenses. Demo Doc 1Demo Solutions Doc 1| |Chapter Chapter20 1

So with an output of 5,200 units, Virus Detection would incur a loss of $5,200,000 – $324,000 = $124,000. Because the output levels in the flexible budget are estimated levels of sales, these flexible budgets are being developed before the period to help managers plan. In this case, the budgets indicate a danger for Virus Detection Sensor of operating at a loss for 2010 at sales levels below 5,600 units. Managers should devote considerable effort to ensure that Virus Detection Sensor sells more than 5,600 sensors, or find ways to either decrease the expenses associated with manufacturing each sensor or increase the sales price per unit.

Columns 1 and 5 of the income statement performance report represent Virus Detection’s actual 2010 results and its expected (budgeted) results, respectively. These figures come directly from the comparison of actual results with the static budget statement for 5,400 units. Actual results at actual prices are what actually happened. This column (1) represents Virus Detection’s true income statement for 2010, calculated by multiplying actual quantity by actual price. Static budget (column 5) represents Virus Detection’s original budget with budgeted volume and costs. This budget uses output of 5,400 sensors, when in reality Virus Detection only had a volume of 5,200 sensors in 2010. We can begin to build our performance report using the actual results and the static budget. VIRUS DETECTION SENSOR Income Statement Performance Report Year Ended 2010 1

The next column that we can complete is the flexible budget for actual number of output units (column 3), which represents budgeted amounts based on what Virus Detection actually sold (the other two variance columns depend on the values calculated in this column). So for this column, we forget about the number of units that Virus Detection expected to sell in 2010, but we instead calculate what its operating income would have been had it sold the 5,200 sensors 684

using its actual budget figures for revenues and expenses. These figures give management the basis with which to compare the flexible budget variance with the sales volume variance. Remember that a flexible budget based upon actual outputs provides the greatest ability to evaluate and control because you are comparing what you expected it to be against what it actually is. From the question, we know that Virus Detection budgeted to sell each sensor at $1,000. Regardless of how many sensors it expected to sell, if it had priced the 5,200 sensors it did sell at its original estimate of $1,000 per sensor, Virus Detection’s sales revenue would have been 5,200 ! $1,000 = $5,200,000. This number is called the flexible budget for sales revenue based on actual units produced. Virus Detection budgeted its variable costs at $620 per sensor. If its budgeted variable costs had stayed at $620, then its flexible budget for variable costs would be 5,200 sensors ! $620 = $3,224,000. Similarly, had Virus Detection’s budgeted fixed costs remained at $2,100,000, then its flexible budget for total costs would be $3,224,000 variable costs + $2,100,000 fixed costs = $5,324,000. Given these data, then, Virus Detection’s flexible budgeted operating income would be calculated as: $5,200,000 sales revenue – $5,324,000 total costs ! $(124,000) operating loss

So, how do we use these data? We use them to complete the two variance columns of the income statement performance report. The differences between columns 1 and 3 are presented in column 2, which shows us the flexible budget variance. Flexible budget variance is the difference between the actual results (at actual prices) and the flexible budget (for actual number of output units). This variance represents more or less revenue earned than expected, and more or less expenses incurred than expected, for the actual level of output. For sales revenue, the variance is favorable if the actual is greater than the flexible budget. In this case, actual sales revenue of $5,460,000 exceeds the flexible budget of $5,200,000 by $260,000, which is a favorable outcome.

For costs, the variance is unfavorable if the actual is greater than the flexible budget. In this case, actual total costs of $5,326,000 exceed the flexible budget of $5,324,000 by $2,000, which is unfavorable. However, total operating income demonstrates a favorable result of $258,000.

So what does this result mean? The flexible budget variance of $260,000 for sales revenue indicates that Virus Detection actually received $260,000 more for the 5,200 sensors than it would have had if it sold the 5,200 units at its budgeted sales price of $1,000. On average, it received $50 more per sensor than it thought it would. At the same time, it spent $52,000 more in variable costs than it expected to, and while fixed costs were trimmed by $50,000, it still spent $2,000 more than it budgeted on total costs. Even though the overall results are favorable, management will still want to know why costs exceeded expectations. The last column to compute is the sales volume variance column (4). The differences between columns 3 and 5 are presented in column 4. Sales volume variance is the difference between the flexible budget (for actual number of output units) and the static budget. The only reason for this variance is because the number of units actually sold differs from the static budget, but knowing whether these variances are favorable or unfavorable gives managers insight into how sales and marketing are performing in relation to the overall report. For sales revenue, this variance is favorable if the flexible budget is greater than the static budget, which is not the case with Virus Detection, however. The flexible budget sales revenue of $5,200,000 is lower than the budgeted sales of $5,400,000 because the sales force sold fewer units than expected. For costs, this variance is favorable if the flexible budget is less than the static budget. In this case, the results are favorable, with the flexible budget showing $5,324,000 in total costs and the static budget showing $5,448,000, for a favorable variance of $124,000 in total costs. However, this variance results from the fact that the sales force sold fewer units than expected. In actuality, variable costs increased by $10 per unit over what Virus Detection had budgeted. This variance is favorable only because Virus Detection budgeted costs for more units than it actually made.

2 Virus Detection’s sales volume variance is $200,000 unfavorable. So, Virus selling 200 fewer units than budgeted reduced its sales volume by $200,000. Virus was able to more than overcome this reduction in sales volume by selling at a higher price than anticipated, as indicated by the favorable flexible budget sales revenue variance of $260,000. Had Virus Detection sold what it budgeted for, it would have incurred a loss of $48,000. But, by increasing the sales price and reducing the fixed expense costs, even by selling 200 fewer units, Virus incurred an operating income of $134,000 instead of incurring the loss.

In this example, total budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead: $0.80 ! 120,000 road maps ! $96,000
Actual cost and production volume information: • Actual production was 118,000 maps. • Actual direct materials usage was 41 square yards per map, at an actual cost of $0.016 per square yard. • Actual direct labor usage of 11,600 hours at $12.10 per hour, total cost of $140,360. • Total actual overhead was $126,000.
Requirements 1. Bumpy developed its standards. What are the five benefits of standard costing? 2. Compute the price and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor. Are these variances favorable or unfavorable? Why? 3. Journalize the usage of direct materials, including the related variance. 4.

A standard cost is a budget for a single unit. A standard is developed for the quantity and price of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Material price standards consider the cost of purchases plus freight in and receiving costs less discounts. Direct labor cost standards include the labor rates, payroll taxes, and fringe benefits. Overhead cost standards are developed by dividing estimated variable and fixed overhead costs by an appropriate allocation base. The quantity standards are usually developed using the input from knowledgeable employees taking into account an expected amount of spoilage, waste, and downtime. Standards help managers in five areas:

Direct Materials Price Variance The actual quantity of direct materials used was the total number of maps produced (118,000) multiplied by the amount of direct materials used per map. Actual direct materials usage was 41 square yards per map, for an actual quantity of 4,838,000 square yards of materials. To compute the variance, multiply the difference between the actual and standard costs per unit by the actual quantity. Bumpy estimated a cost of $0.015 per square yard, but the actual cost was $0.016 per square yard, for a difference of $0.001, which multiplied by 4,838,000 yields a variance of $4,838: Direct Materials Price Variance !

This variance is unfavorable because the actual price is greater than the standard price. Direct Materials Quantity Variance This variance measures whether the quantity of materials actually used to produce the actual number of output units is within the standard allowed for that number of outputs. It is calculated by multiplying the difference between quantities of material (actual vs. standard) by the standard price per unit of material. We know from computing the direct materials price variance that the actual quantity of direct materials used was 41 square yards per map ! 118,000 maps = 4,838,000 square yards. From this amount, we subtract the standard quantity (40 square yards per map ! 118,000 maps = 4,720,000 square yards) for a difference of 118,000 square yards. We then multiply that difference in quantity by the standard price per unit (remember, efficiency variance is measured against the standard flexible budget, not actual costs), for a total variance of 118,000 ! $0.015 = $1,770: Direct Materials Quantity Variance ! (Actual Quantity $ Standard Quantity) " Standard Price ! [(41"118, 000) $ (40 "118, 000)] " $0.015 ! (4, 838, 000 $ 4,720, 000) " $0.015 ! 118, 000 " $0.015 ! $1,770 U
This variance is unfavorable because the actual material used per map, 41 square yards, was greater than the standard per map, 40 square yards. Part 1

Direct Labor Rate Variance This variance measures the difference between the actual price per unit (in this case, rate per hour for labor) and the standard price per unit, multiplied by the actual quantity of input (that is, hours worked). In this case, Bumpy estimated a rate of $12.00 per hour for labor, and actual costs were $12.10, so the difference is $0.10 per hour, which multiplied by the actual hours of 11,600 yields a variance of $1,160: Direct Labor Rate Variance ! (Actual Rate $ Standard Rate) " Actual Hours ! ($12.10 $ $12.00) "11, 600 ! $0.10 "11, 600 ! $1,160 U
This variance is unfavorable because the actual hourly rate for labor, $12.10, was greater than the standard rate for labor, $12.00. Direct Labor Efficiency Variance This variance measures the difference between the actual quantity of input (in this case, the number of hours Bumpy actually purchased) and the standard quantity of input, multiplied by the standard price per input unit (hourly cost of the labor). In this case, we know that the actual hours purchased was 11,600. To compute standard hours, multiply the standard rate per map, 0.10, by the actual number of maps produced, 118,000 = 11,800. So the difference between actual 690

and standard hours is 200, multiplied by the standard price per hour of $12.00 = $2,400: Direct Labor Efficiency Variance ! (Actual Hours $ Standard Hours) " Standard Price ! [11, 600 $ (0.10 "118, 000)] " $12.00 ! (11, 600 $ 11, 800) " $12.00 !$ 200 " $12.00 ! $2, 400 F
This variance is favorable because actual hours used were fewer than standard hours.

Usage of Direct Materials Bumpy debits Work in Process Inventory for the standard price multiplied by the standard quantity of direct materials that should have been used for the actual output of 118,000 maps. This maintains inventory at standard cost. Materials Inventory is credited for the actual quantity of materials put into production multiplied by the standard price:

So where does the rest of the debit side of this entry come from? We learned in Requirement 2 that because Bumpy used more materials than the standard, its direct materials quantity variance was $1,770 unfavorable. This unfavorable variance increases the cost of production. Unfavorable variances will always be debited.

Total Overhead Variance Total overhead variance is the difference between actual overhead cost and standard overhead allocated to production. The standard overhead allocated to production is the standard cost of the overhead per map times the number of maps actually produced. We know from the question that the standard overhead cost per map is $0.30 (variable cost) + $0.80 (fixed cost) = $1.10. So the standard overhead allocated to production = 118,000 ! $1.10 = $129,800. Actual overhead cost as given in the question is $126,000, the difference being $3,800: Total Overhead Variance ! Actual Overhead Cost " Standard Overhead Allocated to Production ! $126, 000 " (118, 000 # $1.10) ! $126, 000 " $129, 800 ! $3, 800 F
The variance is favorable because the actual overhead is less than the standard overhead. Overapplied overhead is favorable because enough cost was put into production.

Overhead Flexible Budget Variance The flexible budget variance is equal to the difference between the actual overhead cost and the flexible budget overhead for the actual number of maps produced. To compute the flexible budget overhead variance, the fixed portion of the overhead must be separated from the variable part. The variable part of the overhead is flexible, therefore the variable cost of overhead per map ($0.30) is multiplied by the actual number of maps produced (118,000); the variable part of overhead is thus $35,400. The fixed portion of the overhead is not flexible within the relevant range, so to compute the full fixed part of the overhead, the fixed cost of overhead per map ($0.80) must be multiplied by the static expected budget output of 120,000 maps. The fixed part of overhead is thus $96,000, the same as the original budgeted amount. Total flexible budget overhead is $35,400 + $96,000 = $131,400. We know that the actual overhead cost was $126,000, the difference between actual and flexible thus being $5,400: Overhead Flexible Budget Variance ! Actual Overhead Cost – Flexible Budget Overhead for the Actual Number of Outputs ! $126, 000 " [(118, 000 # $0.30) + (120, 000 # $0.80)] ! $126, 000 " ($35, 400 + $96, 000) ! $126, 000 " $131, 400 ! $5, 400 F 692

Production Volume Variance The production volume variance arises when actual production differs from expected production. It is calculated as the difference between the flexible budget overhead for the actual number of outputs and the standard overhead allocated to actual production. Standard overhead allocated to actual production is calculated by multiplying the number of maps actually produced by the standard overhead per unit: 118,000 ! $1.10 ! $129,800
We know the flexible budget overhead for the actual number of outputs from calculating the overhead flexible budget variance: Flexible Budget Overhead for Actual Number of Outputs ! (118, 000 " $0.30) # (120, 000 " $0.80) ! $35, 400 # $96, 000 ! $131, 400
So the difference is calculated as follows: Production Volume Variance ! Flexible Budget Overhead for Actual Number of Outputs $ Standard Overhead Allocated to Actual Produ uction ! $131, 400 $ ($1.10 "118, 000) ! $131, 400 $ $129, 800 ! $1, 600 U
This variance accounts for Bumpy producing fewer maps, 118,000, than expected output, 120,000. Bumpy didn’t use its production capacity as efficiently as possible. Whenever a business produces less than expected, the production volume variance will be unfavorable.

Special Business Decisions and Capital Budgeting
WHAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW People purchase lottery tickets in the hopes of winning the grand jackpot. On November 15, 2005, seven employees of a medical center won the Mega Millions grand prize of $315,000,000. Winners can choose to receive the money in 26 equal payments over the upcoming 25 years or in a lump sum. The seven winners decided to take a lump-sum payment. You probably already know that opting for the lump-sum payment means that something less than $315,000,000 is received. The reason is the time value of money. Receiving a dollar now is worth more than receiving it in a year, 5 years, or 25 years in the future. The winnings are “discounted,” reduced to the present value. The seven winners received $187,100,000. In this chapter, we will study how to calculate the present value of future cash flows and how that information is used to help management make decisions.
Learning Objectives
1
Identify the relevant information for a special business decision. To make business decisions, management will compare relevant information between alternative courses of action. Relevant information includes items that will differ between alternatives and be incurred in the future. Relevant information, therefore affects the decisions that are made.
2
Make five types of short-term special business decisions. Some short-term special business decisions that management makes include accepting a special sales order (see Exhibit 21-4, p. 1121), dropping a business segment (see Exhibits 21-5 through 21-7, pp. 1122–1123), which product to emphasize in a product mix (see Exhibit 21-8, p. 1124), when to outsource production (see Exhibits 21-9 and 21-10, pp. 1126–1127, and selling as is or processing further (see Exhibit 21-12, p. 1128).You will explore these types of decisions in Demo Doc 1. In terms of product mix, a constraint is something that restricts the production or sale of a product, such as labor hours, machine hours, or available materials. Given sufficient demand, the products that generate the highest contribution margin per constrained resource will maximize operating income. When deciding to sell a product as is or process it further, management should consider the split-off point, which is the point at which the product is complete and can be sold or continues to be processed further and then
1eSG_C21_0131792075.qxd
10/24/06
3:12 PM
Page 714
sold after incurring more costs. The analysis compares the revenue from selling the product as it is to the higher revenue less additional costs from selling the product after processing further. Whichever option results in a higher net revenue is the more profitable alternative.
3
Use payback and accounting rate of return models to make longer-term capital budgeting decisions. The decision to purchase a long-term asset is referred to as capital budgeting. The focus of capital budgeting is on the net cash inflows that are projected in the future. One tool, used to assess capital investments, is the payback period which is the amount of time it takes to recover the initial investment. You will calculate the payback period for two different products in Demo Doc 2. Review Exhibit 21-13 (p. 1130) for an illustration of the payback period concept. You can use the accounting rate of return to determine the rate of return from an asset over its useful life. You will calculate the accounting rate of return for two different products in Demo Doc 2. The average annual operating income can be computed as the net cash inflow from the asset less depreciation expense. The average amount invested in the asset is the average of the cost amount and the residual value. Review Exhibit 21-14 (p. 1132) for an accounting rate of return calculation.
4
Use discounted cash flow models to make longer-term capital budgeting decisions. Discounted cash flow models use the concept of present value or the time value of money. It simply means that it is more valuable to receive money now than in the future. To make the best capital budgeting decision, the value of future cash flows must be considered in terms of the current or present value. The discounted cash flow models widely used to evaluate potential expenditures are the net present value and the internal rate of return (IRR). You will explore these methods in Demo Doc 2. Review Exhibit 21-16 (p. 1135) for a computation of the net present value method assuming equal net cash inflows and Exhibit 21-18 (p. 1136) assuming unequal net cash inflows.
5
Compare and contrast the four capital budgeting methods. • Payback period.This method is simple to employ, but it does not consider the project profitability or the time value of money. • Accounting rate of return.This method measures profitability, but it does not consider the time value of money. • Net present value (NPV). NPV considers the time value of money, but it does not indicate the investment’s projected rate of return. • Internal rate of return (IRR). IRR considers the time value of money and determines the project’s rate, but does not indicate the dollar difference between the project’s present value and its investment cost.
Review Exhibit 21-20 (p. 1138) for a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the payback period, accounting rate of return, NPV, and IRR methods. 714

Requirement 2. Pack-It’s price per case is $2.80. Doctor would avoid all variable costs associated with the packaging and would reduce the fixed cost by $5,000 if Pack-It packages Doctor’s key blanks. Should Doctor outsource the packaging work to Pack-It? Doctor sells 35,000 cases of keys. Of those, 3,000 cases are for a special blue-colored key made for one customer. The blue key sells for the same price, $38, as all the other keys, but seems to require more expenses to produce. Doctor is considering dropping the blue key. An analysis determined that the variable cost of producing the blue key is $20 per case. If the blue key was not produced, fixed costs would not change.
Requirement 3. Should Doctor stop producing the blue key?

The key to this problem is to determine what effect the special sale would have on Doctor’s operating income. Fixed costs will not change as a result of the sale; therefore, we will compare only the change in revenue with the change in variable costs as a result of the special sale. The decision to accept a special order will be made if the incremental revenues exceed the incremental expenses for the special order. The increase in revenue is determined by multiplying the additional cases sold by the offered selling price per case:

2,000 ! $30 " $60,000
To determine the variable cost of producing the additional 2,000 units, we must first determine the variable cost per unit. The manufacturing cost of producing 35,000 cases was $800,000. Of the $800,000, fixed cost makes up $500,000. Therefore, manufacturing variable cost is $300,000. The variable marketing and administrative cost is determined by subtracting the fixed portion, $200,000, from the total marketing and administrative cost of $410,000, to get variable marketing and administrative cost of $210,000. Thus, the total variable cost of producing the 35,000 cases is: $300,000 # $210,000 " $510,000
The variable cost per unit is computed by dividing the total variable cost by the number of units. $510,000/35,000 cases " $14.57
The increase in variable cost with the special sales order is: 2,000 cases ! $14.57 variable cost per unit " $29,140

Doctor should accept the special order because it would increase operating income.
Requirement 2 Pack-It’s price per case is $2.80. Doctor would avoid all variable costs associated with the packaging and would reduce the fixed cost by $5,000 if Pack-It packages Doctor’s key blanks. Should Doctor outsource the packaging work to Pack-It?

Outsourcing decisions consider whether management will make or buy (outsource) products or services. Incremental analysis can be performed comparing (1) the cost to make the product, which includes direct materials, direct labor, and overhead, to (2) the cost to buy, which includes the purchase price plus possibly some portion of the fixed overhead that will continue with outsourcing. In addition, a relevant opportunity cost may need to be considered. An opportunity cost represents the benefit forgone by not choosing an alternative course of action. If the production process is outsourced and the goods are purchased, other opportunities may be available to use the idle resources to generate profits. The opportunity cost reduces the cost of outsourcing. In this case, the key to this decision is to compare the Doctor’s cost savings of not packaging their keys with the additional cost charged by Pack-It. On the surface, it might seem that Pack-It is making an attractive offer to package the key blanks for $0.20 cheaper per case than Doctor spends to package the key blanks themselves. An incremental analysis is necessary to consider the overall effects of total costs and savings on the make-or-buy decision. The following shows the differences in costs between making and outsourcing (buying) the packaging:

As in this case, management may want to consider whether discontinuing a product line, department, or component of the business would increase the operating income. The decision to eliminate a business segment may be made if dropping the segment results in a decrease in total expenses greater than the decrease in revenues. In this case, fixed costs remain the same whether the blue key product line is continued or dropped; therefore, fixed costs are not relevant to the decision. Only the revenues and variable expenses are relevant. Segment margin is calculated as:

In the absence of any discretionary fixed costs, contribution margin is the criteria for deciding whether a product or product line should be dropped. If the blue key product line is dropped, revenues will decrease by: 3,000 ! $38 " ($114,000)
Variable costs will decrease: 3,000 ! $20 " ($60,000)
Contribution margin will decrease as well: 3,000 ! $18 " ($54,000)
A cost savings of $60,000 is realized, which is really a “negative” cost. Therefore, the “income” generated from dropping this line is $60,000. The actual revenue generated from having this line is $114,000. Because $114,000 is greater than $60,000 (a $54,000 difference), the company is better off by NOT dropping this product. A decision rule might be: If the actual revenue of the product exceeds the cost savings (in reduced costs, either variable or fixed or both), then the product should not be dropped.

Yummy Eats produces packaged food products. The company desires to produce one of two possible new products: either yogurt or cottage cheese. Each product would require an additional investment of $400,000. Yogurt would have a useful life of six years, with no residual value. Cottage cheese would have a useful life of four years, with no residual value. The expected annual net cash inflows are as follows: Net Cash Inflows Useful Life

Payback period is a simple approach that is used sometimes to screen potential projects. A company would want to recoup the investment amount as quickly as possible, assuming all other factors are constant. In this case, payback is the length of time it takes Yummy to recover, in net cash inflows, the $400,000 initial outlay. Yogurt and cottage cheese each have equal cash inflows each year, so the payback period is calculated as: Payback Period " Payback Period for Yogurt Payback Period for Cottage Cheese

The payback method favors the cottage cheese because it recovers the initial investment more quickly. The major weakness of payback analysis is that it only focuses on time, not on profit. The payback period must be shorter than the useful life to provide any profit.

The rate of return calculated is compared to the required return set by management. The company will invest in the asset if the return is more than that required and will not invest if the return is less than the required return. When evaluating several alternatives, the higher the return, the better the alternative is. The accounting rate of return is determined by dividing the average operating income from the asset by the average amount invested in the asset. The average amount invested in the asset is calculated by dividing the cost of the asset less the residual value by two.

To determine the average operating income, depreciation must first be calculated. The depreciation associated with the yogurt is: $400,000 " $66,667 6-Year Life
Depreciation associated with the cottage cheese is: $400,000 " $100,000 4-Year Life
The depreciation expense is now subtracted from the expected annual net cash inflows to calculate the average operating income: Yogurt Average Operating Incom me " $110, 000 $ $66, 667 " $43, 333 Cottage Cheese Average Operating Income " $140, 000 $ $100, 000 " $40, 000

The major weakness of the accounting rate of return is that it doesn’t consider the timing of the income. The accounting rate of return doesn’t consider whether the income is greater early in the life of the asset or near the end of the useful life of the asset. Management would prefer greater income early in the life of the asset so the funds could be used to generate additional income.

Net present value brings future cash inflows and future cash outflows to a common time period, which makes the feasibility of each product easier to compare. The net present value (NPV) method compares the present value of the net cash inflows to the initial investment of the capital project. To obtain the present value of the net cash inflows, the minimum desired rate of return is used to find the appropriate discounting factor in the present value tables. If the cash flows

Appendix C-2 provides a more comprehensive table for the present value of an annuity of $1.
As shown in the table, the present value factor for the yogurt investment, 14% and 6 periods, is 3.889, and the present value factor for the cottage cheese investment, 14% and 4 periods, is 2.914. The present value of a project is equal to the present value factor multiplied by one period’s cash flow. The net present value is the present value less the cost of the investment, where the investment is made at time zero (today), giving an interest factor of 1.0000, for a “present value” approach. So to calculate net present value for each product: Yogurt: PVCFI PVCFO

Because the net present value of both products are positive, accept both products, unless coming up with the needed funds of $800,000 is a problem. In that case, the company should choose the product with the highest net present value. In our case, the product with the highest net present value is yogurt: $27,790.

The internal rate of return (IRR) method calculates the estimated rate of return Yummy can expect to earn by investing in the product. The IRR uses the same concepts as the net present value. The net present value uses management’s minimum desired rate of return to determine whether the present value of the future net cash inflows equals or exceeds the cost of the initial investment. If they are equal, the product is earning exactly the minimum desired rate of return. If the amount is positive, the product is earning a rate of return in excess of the minimum, but it is unknown. The IRR method calculates the projected rate of return this way: a. Identify the projected future cash flows (as is done with the net present value method). b. Estimate the present value of an annuity factor as: Annuity PV Factor "
Investment Expected Annual Net Cash Flow
c. Referring to the present value of an annuity table, find the number of cash flow periods in the left column and follow that row to the right until you locate the factor that is closest to the present value of an annuity factor computed in part b. Follow that number up to the interest rate at the top of the column to determine the rate of return. If the rate of return calculated is equal to or higher than management’s minimum desired rate of return, the product is acceptable. To determine the internal rate of return, we must find the discount rate that makes the total present value of the cash inflows equal to the present value of the cash outflows. Work backward to find the discount rate that makes the present value of the annuity of cash inflows equal to the amount of the investment by solving the following equation for the annuity present value factor (which is, in reality, the figure obtained when calculating the payback period, as we did in Requirement 1): Annuity PV Factor for Yogurt

Scan the row in the present value of an annuity table corresponding to the product’s expected life: period 6 for yogurt, period 4 for cottage cheese. Choose the column with the number closest to the annuity PV factor previously calculated. The 3.636 annuity factor for yogurt is closest to the 16% column and the 2.857 annuity factor for cottage cheese is closest to the 14% column. Therefore, the internal rate of return for yogurt is approximately 16% and the internal rate of return for cottage cheese is approximately 14%.

21-4. Sharp Image Company makes a part used in the manufacture of video cameras. Management is considering whether to continue manufacturing the part, or to buy the part from an outside source at a cost of $21.30 per part. Sharp Image needs 100,000 parts per year. The cost of manufacturing 100,000 parts is computed as follows: Direct Materials $ 765,000 Direct Labor 612,000 Variable Manufacturing Overhead 510,000 Fixed d Manufacturing Overhead 663,000 Total Manufacturing Costs $2,550,000
Sharp Image would pay $0.30 per unit to transport the parts to its manufacturing plant. Purchasing the part from an outside source would enable the company to avoid 35% of fixed manufacturing overhead. Sharp Image’s factory space freed up by purchasing the part from an outside supplier could be used to manufacture another product with a contribution margin of $59,000. Prepare an analysis to show which alternative makes the best use of Sharp Image’s factory space assuming Sharp Image: (pp. 1125–1127) a. Makes the part b. Buys the part and leaves facilities idle c.

21-5. Identify four capital budgeting models described in the chapter and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each model. (pp. 1129–1138) The four capital budgeting models discussed in the chapter were the payback model, the accounting rate of return model, the net present value model, and the internal rate of return model. The strengths and weaknesses of the different models are as follows: The payback model is easy to understand, highlights risks, and is based on cash flows, which are of primary concern to many businesses. However, it ignores profitability and the time value of money. The accounting rate of return model measures profitability, but it ignores the time value of money. The net present value model and the internal rate of return model are both based on cash flows, profitability, and the time value of money. These models don’t have any of the weaknesses identified with the payback method and the accounting rate of return.
