Question 3-1The purpose of the balance sheet, also known as the statement of financial position, is to
present the financial position of the company on a particular date. Unlike the income statementwhich is a change statement that reports events occurring during a period of time, the balance sheetis a statement that presents an organized array of assets, liabilities, and shareholders’ equity at a point in time. It is a freeze frame or snapshot picture of financial position at the end of a particularday marking the end of an accounting period.
Question 3-2The balance sheet does not portray the market value of the entity for a number of reasons.Most assets are not reported at market value, but instead are measured according to historical costAlso, there are certain resources, such as trained employees, an experienced management team, anda good reputation, that are not recorded as assets at all. Therefore, the assets of a company minus itsliabilities, as shown in the balance sheet, will not be representative of the company’s market value.
Question 3-3Current assets include cash and other assets that are reasonably expected to be converted to
cash or consumed during one year, or within the normal operating cycle of the business if theoperating cycle is longer than one year. The typical asset categories classified as current assets
include:
— Cash and cash equivalents — Short-term investments — Accounts receivable — Inventories — Prepaid expenses
Question 3-4Current liabilities are those obligations that are expected to be satisfied through the use of
current assets or the creation of other current liabilities. So, this classification will include alliabilities that are scheduled to be liquidated within one year or the operating cycle, whichever islonger, except those that management intends to refinance on a long-term basis. The typical liabilitycategories classified as current liabilities include:
— Accounts payable — Short-term notes payable — Accrued liabilities — Current maturities of long-term debt

Answers to Questions (continued)
Question 3-5The operating cycle for a typical manufacturing company refers to the period of time required
to convert cash to raw materials, raw materials to a finished product, finished product to receivables,
and then finally receivables back to cash.
Question 3-6Investments in equity securities are classified as current if the company’s management (1)
intends to liquidate the investment in the next year or operating cycle, whichever is longer, and (2)has the ability to do so, i.e., the investment is marketable. If either of these criteria does not hold, theinvestment is classified as noncurrent.
Question 3-7The common characteristics that these assets have in common are that they are tangible, long-
lived assets used in the operations of the business. They usually are the primary revenue-generating
assets of the business. These assets include land, buildings, equipment, machinery, furniture andother assets used in the operations of the business, as well as natural resources, such as mineralmines, timber tracts and oil wells.
Question 3-8Property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets each represent assets that are long-lived
and are used in the operations of the business. The difference is that property, plant, and equipmentrepresent physical assets, while intangibles lack physical substance. Generally, intangibles representthe ownership of an exclusive right, such as a patent, copyright or franchise.
Question 3-9
A note payable of $100,000 due in five years would be classified as a long-term liability. A$100,000 note due in five annual installments of $20,000 each would be classified as a $20,000current liability — current maturities of long-term debt — and an $80,000 long-term liability.
Question 3-10Paid-in-capital consists of amounts invested by shareholders in the corporation. Retained
earnings equals net income less dividends paid to shareholders from the inception of the corporation.
Question 3-11Disclosure notes provide additional detail concerning specific financial statement items.
Included are such data as the market values of financial instruments and off-balance-sheet risk
associated with financial instruments and details of pension plans, leases, debt, and assets. Commonto all companies’ disclosures are certain specific notes such as a summary of significant accounting policies, descriptions of subsequent events, and related third-party transactions. However, manynotes are designed to fit the disclosure needs of the particular reporting company. In fact, anyexplanation that helps investors and creditors make decisions should be included.

Answers to Questions (continued)
Question 3-12The disclosure of the company’s significant accounting policies is extremely important to
external users in terms of their ability to compare financial information across companies. It is
critical to a financial analyst involved in assessing future cash flows of two construction companiesto know that one company uses the percentage-of-completion method in recognizing gross profitwhile the other company uses the completed contract method.
Question 3-13A subsequent event is an event that occurs after the date of the financial statements but prior to
the date on which the statements are actually issued. It may help to clarify a previously existingsituation or it may represent a new event not directly affecting financial position at the end of thereporting period.
Question 3-14
The discussion provides management’s views on significant events, trends and uncertainties pertaining to the company’s (a) operations, (b) liquidity, and (c) capital resources. Certainly theManagement Discussion and Analysis section may be slanted to management’s biased perspectiveand therefore can lack objectivity. However, management can offer an informed insight that mighnot be available elsewhere, so if the reader maintains awareness of the information’s source, it canoffer a unique view of the situation.
Question 3-15Depending on the circumstances, the auditor will issue a (an):
1. Unqualified opinion – The auditors are satisfied that the financial statements “present fairly” thefinancial position, results of operations, and cash flows and are “prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.”2. Qualified opinion – This contains an exception to the standard unqualified opinion, but not of
sufficient seriousness to invalidate the financial statements as a whole. Examples of exceptionsare (a) unconformity with generally accepted accounting principles, (b) inadequate disclosuresand (c) a limitation or restriction of the scope of the examination.
3. Adverse opinion – This is necessary when the exceptions are so serious that a qualified opinionis not justified. Adverse opinions are rare because auditors usually are able to persuademanagement to rectify problems to avoid this undesirable report.
4. Disclaimer – An auditor will disclaim an opinion if insufficient information has been gatheredto express an opinion.
Question 3-16A proxy statement must be sent each year to all shareholders. It usually is in the same mailing
with the annual report. The statement invites shareholders to the shareholders’ meeting to elec board members and to vote on issues before the shareholders. It also permits shareholders to voteusing an enclosed proxy card. Beginning with 1992 financial statements, the proxy statement also provides for more disclosures on compensation to directors and executives, and in particular, stockoptions granted to executives.

Answers to Questions (concluded)
Question 3-17Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. The current
ratio is computed by dividing current assets by current liabilities. The acid-test ratio (or quick ratio)is computed by dividing quick assets (cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accountsreceivable) by current liabilities.
Question 3-18
Debt to equity ratio = Total liabilitiesShareholders' equity
Times interest earned ratio = Net income + interest + taxes
Interest
Question 3-19An operating segment is a component of an enterprise:
1. That engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses(including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the sameenterprise).
2. Whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise's chief operating decision-maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment, and to assess its
performance.3. For which discrete financial information is available.
Question 3-20For areas determined to be reportable operating segments, the following disclosures are required:
1. General information about the operating segment,2. Information about reported segment profit or loss, including certain revenues and expenses
included in reported segment profit or loss, segments assets, and the basis of measurement.3. Reconciliations of the totals of segment revenues, reported profit or loss, assets, and other
significant items to corresponding enterprise amounts.4. Interim period information.

Brief Exercise 3-61. The $30,000 should be classified as a noncurrent asset, under the
investments and funds classification.2. $10,000, next year’s installment, should be classified as a current liability,
current maturities of long-term debt. The remaining $90,000 is included inlong-term liabilities.
3. Two-thirds of the unearned revenue, $40,000, should be classified as acurrent liability, the remaining $20,000 as a long-term liability.
Brief Exercise 3-7Current assets – cash and cash equivalents – accounts receivable = Inventories
$235,000 – 40,000 – 120,000 = $75,000
Total assets – current assets = property, plant, and equipment$400,000 – 235,000 = $165,000
Total assets – accounts payable – note payable – common stock = retainedearnings

($55,000 + 39,000 + 45,000 + 15,000) ÷ ($12,000 + 2,000 + 10,000)
$154,000 ÷ $24,000 = 6.42
(b) (Cash + short-term investments + accounts receivable) ÷ current liabilities
($55,000 + 0 + 39,000) ÷ $24,000 = 3.92
(c) Total liabilities ÷ shareholders’ equity
$24,000 current liabilities + 90,000 long-term liabilities = $114,000$70,000 common stock + 76,000 retained earnings = $146,000$114,000 ÷ $146,000 = .78
Brief Exercise 3-10Paying accounts payable reduces both current assets and current liabilities. If
the ratio before the payment were above 1.0, the transaction would cause the ratioto increase. However, if the ratio before the transaction were less than 1.0, theratio would decrease.
Brief Exercise 3-11
Acid-test ratio = (cash + short-term investments + A/R) ÷ current liabilities1.5 = ($20,000 + 0 + 40,000) ÷ current liabilities
1.5 x current liabilities = $60,000current liabilities = $60,000 ÷ 1.5
current liabilities = $40,000
Current ratio = current assets ÷ current liabilities
2.0 = current assets ÷ $40,000
current assets = $40,000 x 2.0
current assets = $80,000$80,000 – 20,000(cash) – 40,000(A/R) = $20,000 inventories

Exercise 3-11. Total current assets
Current liabilities = $44,000 + 15,000 + 1,000 (accrued interest)= $60,000
Since the current ratio is 1.5:1, current assets = 1.5 x $60,000 = $90,000
2. Short-term investments
$90,000 - 5,000 - 20,000 - 60,000 = $5,000
3. Retained earnings
Current assets + Noncurrent assets = Current liabilities + Long-term liabilities+ Paid-in capital + Retained earnings (RE)
$90,000 + 120,000 = $60,000 + 30,000 (Note payable) + 100,000 + RE
RE = $20,000

Exercise 3-17
1. d. SFAS 57 requires disclosure of related-party transactions except forcompensation agreements, expense allowances, and transactions eliminated inconsolidated working papers. Required disclosures include the relationship(s)of the related parties; a description and dollar amounts of transactions for each
period presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishingtheir terms; and amounts due to or from the related parties and, if not apparent,the terms and manner of settlement. The effect on the cash flow statement neednot be disclosed.
2.
b. The MD&A section is included in SEC filings. It addresses in a nonquantified
manner the prospects of a company. The SEC examines it with care todetermine that management has disclosed material information affecting thecompany’s future results. Disclosures about commitments and events that mayaffect operations or liquidity are mandatory. Thus, the MD&A section pertainsto liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations.
3. c. The current ratio equals current assets divided by current liabilities. An equalincrease in both the numerator and denominator of a current ratio less than 1.0causes the ratio to increase. Windham Company’s current ratio is .8 ($400,000/$500,000). The purchase of $100,000 of inventory on account would increase
the current assets to $500,000 and the current liabilities to $600,000, resultingin a new current ratio of .833.

Communication Case 3-1IBM manufactures and sells personal and main frame computers. The computers
included as current assets in the balance sheet for the company represent the cost ofinventory available for sale. In addition, IBM uses computers in its operations. Thecost of these computers is included in the property, plant, and equipment category inthe balance sheet.
Marketable securities could be classified as either current or noncurrent assetsdepending on the intent of management. If management intends to sell the securitiesin the next year or operating cycle, they are classified as current assets. Ifmanagement intends to hold the securities beyond the coming year or operating cyclethey are classified as noncurrent assets.
Analysis Case 3-2Requirement 1
Current assets include cash and other assets that are reasonably expected to beconverted to cash or consumed during one year, or within the normal operating cycleof the business if the operating cycle is longer than one year. Current liabilitiesinclude all liabilities that are scheduled to be liquidated within one year or theoperating cycle, whichever is longer, except those that management intends torefinance on a long-term basis.
Therefore, key factors determining classification are the nature of the asset or
liability, management’s intent , and the length of the operating cycle.
Requirement 2
Assets:
Cash Normally classified as current, however, if restriction prohibits use of the cash, could be classified as noncurrent.
Receivables Depends on the expected date of collection.
Marketable Depends on when management intends to sell the securities.securities
Prepaid expenses Depends on the period of time prepaid.
Liabilities: Notes payable Depends on scheduled payment date and management’s
intent to pay or refinance.
Unearned revenue Depends on the period the revenue will be earned.

Communication Case 3-3The critical question that student groups should address is whether the cost of the
egg-producing flock should be classified as inventory or as property, plant, andequipment. There is no right or wrong answer. The process of developing the
proposed solutions will likely be more beneficial than the solutions themselves.Students should benefit from participating in the process, interacting first with othergroup members, then with the class as a whole.
Solutions should address the following issues:
1. The definitions of inventory and property, plant, and equipment.The definition of inventory according to ARB No. 43 is “goods awaiting sale,
goods in the course of production, and goods to be consumed directly in production.”The chickens certainly represent goods awaiting sale, since they will eventually besold to soup companies. However, they also represent property, plant, and equipment,
since they are used in the production of product — the eggs.
2. The definition of a current asset.
ARB No. 43 also provides the following definition of a current asset:
“..., the term current assets is used to designate cash andother assets or resources commonly identified as thosewhich are reasonably expected to be realized in cash or soldor consumed during the normal operating cycle of the
business.”
ARB No. 43 also states that a one-year time period is to be used where there are
several operating cycles occurring within a year. In this case, it could be argued thatthe operating cycle is two years, since the chickens are not sold until after the layinglife and, therefore, the cost of the flock should be classified as a current asset.However, if the chickens are considered productive assets, then the concept of anoperating cycle is not relevant. According to this argument, the chickens should beclassified as a noncurrent asset, i.e., a producing asset, and not a saleable asset. Itappears that the primary benefits of the chickens come from the sale of eggs, not the
sale of the chickens themselves.
3. Regardless of the classification of the cost of the chickens, the cost capitalizedwhen the chickens begin to lay must be depreciated down to an estimated salvagevalue at the end of the laying life. This is necessary to properly match expenses withrevenues.

Research Case 3-8
Requirement 1
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 57, “Related PartyDisclosures,” requires the disclosure of related party transactions. This statement wasissued in March of 1982 and became effective for fiscal years ending after June15,1982.
Requirement 2
When related-party transactions occur, companies must disclose the nature of therelationship(s) involved, provide a description of the transactions, and report the dollaramounts of the transactions and any amounts due from or to related parties.
Requirement 3
The related party transactions disclosure note describes transactions with limited
partnerships whose general partner’s managing member is a senior officer of EnronThe transactions include various hedging and derivative transactions with the related
party, as well as the sale of inventory and other assets to the related party.
Requirement 4
The potential problem with related party transactions is that their economicsubstance may differ from their legal form. One of Enron’s disclosed transactionsinvolved the sale of dark fiber inventory to the related party in exchange for $30
million in cash and a $70 million note receivable. Enron recognized gross margin onthe sale of $67 million. Is the $100 million sales price a proper representation of thesales price of the inventory in a normal transaction to an unrelated party? Is theinterest rate charged by Enron on the note a fair interest rate? If the answer to thesequestions is no, then income (wealth) has been transferred from one party to the other,to the detriment of the shareholders of one of the entities and the benefit of the other.

Research Case 3-9(Note: This case requires the student to reference a journal article.]
Requirement 2
Affirmative covenants contain pledges by the borrower to take actions such asinsuring and maintaining assets and paying taxes, as well as agreements to keepcertain financial amounts and ratios within specified limits. Negative covenants can
prohibit activities and specify limits for accounting ratios. Accounting-based
covenants are typically used to limit leverage levels (amount of debt compared toequity) and dividend payouts as well as to establish minimum levels of net worth,working capital, and interest coverage.
Requirement 3
The authors conclude that annual report disclosures of debt covenants is presently
inadequate. They state that a user relying on annual report covenant disclosures isoften not on an equal footing with someone having access to other costly resources.Only after a covenant violation has occurred or is imminent does GAAP requirefinancial statement presentation.
International Case 3-10The standard audit report used in the U.S.A. consists of three paragraphs. The
first two paragraphs of the report deal with the scope of the audit (the work that wasdone by the auditor) and the third paragraph states the auditor's opinion on whether ornot the statements covered in the scope paragraphs have been presented fairly in
conformity with GAAP.The U.K. report is quite similar to the report used in the U.S.A. The introduction
and first two sections deal with the scope of the audit. Both reports describe theresponsibility of the company's management (directors) as well as the responsibility ofthe auditors, and they both briefly discuss auditing standards.
The last section of the U.K. report is similar to the opinion paragraph of theU.S.A. report.

Judgment Case 3-12Comparative income for the first year of operations resulting from the two
alternative financing choices is illustrated below.
DEBT VS. EQUITY
Comparative Income For Two Financing Alternatives
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Income before interest and taxes $5,000,000 $5,000,000Less: Interest -0- (1,600,000)*
Income before taxes 5,000,000 3,400,000Less: Income taxes (2,500,000)** (1,700,000)**
Net Income $2,500,000 $1,700,000
* 8% x $20,000,000.** 50% x Income before taxes.
Return on investment $2,500,000 $1,700,000= 5% =5.67%
(Net income ÷ investment) $50,000,000 $30,000,000
We can see that Alternative 1 generated a higher net income. However, thereturn on shareholders’ investment is actually higher for Alternative 2.Alternative 2 generated a higher return for each dollar invested by shareholders.
This was made possible because the corporation was able to generate income on borrowed funds at a higher rate than the cost of the debt. This represents financialleverage. However, alternative 2 also results in a riskier capital structure. The debt inAlternative 2 requires fixed payments of interest and principal to be made. Thecompany's income before interest and income taxes could drop to zero underAlternative 1 and the company would still be solvent (i.e., able to pay its debts).Under Alternative 2, however, if income before interest and taxes drops below the
required interest payments of $1,600,000, the company could become insolvent andeventually go bankrupt.

Analysis Case 3-16
Requirement 1
Segment disclosures assist in analyzing and understanding financial statements by permitting better assessment of past performance and future prospects.Disaggregated information provides more precise details of the uncertaintiessurrounding the timing and the amount of expected cash flows, because the varioussegments may have different rates of profitability, degrees and types of risk,opportunities for growth, and future capital demands.

Ethics Case 3-17Discussion should include these elements.
Facts:
The impact of following the controller's suggestions would be to obscurefinancial information by aggregating the financial data of segment operations andinvestments. Aggregation of data makes projections of future performance for
African or European segments difficult and does not reveal relative investments foreach segment. SFAS 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and RelatedInformation," suggests that reportable segments are those for whom financial data isavailable and whose results are regularly reviewed by company management inassessing performance. The data for South Africa, Egypt, France and Denmark areavailable and most likely reviewed for performance purposes by the controller andhigher management levels.
Ethical Dilemma:
Should you as staff accountant challenge the controller's combination ofsegments or follow the controller's suggestion to obscure financial information byaggregating the financial data of segment operations and investments?
Who is affected?
You as a staff accountantController and other managersOther employeesShareholdersPotential shareholdersCreditorsFinancial analystsAuditors
Who benefits and who is injured:Company management may benefit from aggregating the African and European data by
attracting more investors to their company and obtaining more loans from creditors thanwould be the case with more complete disclosure regarding the South African segment.Injured parties include current and future investors and creditors with economic, social and political concerns regarding Africa and Europe. If investors and creditors later learn aboutundisclosed segment operations that prove unprofitable or violate their value systems, theymay take action against McCarver Lynn
