1.1 Financial Accounting -
- Aiyesha Dey- Class 1
o Three homework assignments
- Accountingo language of business
o Collection, processing and reporting of info about activities and events that affect the
organization- Three types of accounting users
o Financial Accounting and Reporting: recording financial transactions, position and results and
communicating it to outside stakeholderso Managerial Accounting and Reporting: communicating the position and results of firm

SEC has authority to set GAAP
SEC delegates this authority to the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB)
FASB rules are called Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) currently over 150 rules
Attributes ofideal accounting system
Reliability verifiable by an independent party
Relevance it has to be timely, and havefeedback value andpredictive
ability to a certain extent (you may want to use the info to make futuredecisions)
Other important accounting concepts
Conservatism report bad news but not good news if there is uncertainty
Materiality if tracking an account is costly and reporting it doesnt change
decisions, it is not worth it.- Accounting Qualities
o Decision Usefulness
Relevance
Timely
Feedback value tells you about the past (evaluate the managers of the
firm); feedback on past performance and management performance
Predictive value
Reliability
Verifiability
Representational faithfulness
Neutral (compare firm across years and compare across firms) Comparability
Materialityo Understandability
- Assumptions Underlying Financial Accountingo Three Assumptions
Entity Concept parent company and any subsidiaries controlled by the parent;independent subsidiaries are not part of the firm
Arms length transaction

Monetary measurement concept -
Going concern assumptiono Discretion accounting information is subject to discretion.
Accounting numbers = economic truth + measurement error + incentiveso Changes to Accounting Rules and Regulation can change due to lobbying, political
pressure, economics and technological change
- Principal Activities of a Firmo Sources of capital
Creditors
Ownerso Investing Activities
Inventory
PPEo Operating Activities
Creates valueo Value creation
Earnings, profits, etc.
How can a firm return value?
Dividends Reinvest earnings into investing activities of the firm
Repay your creditors
o FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PROVIDE INFORMATION ON EACH STEP
- Role of Financial Reportingo Who is interested in information about the firm?
S/Hs, potential S/Hs
Creditors
Suppliers
IRS
Analysts, other intermediarieso What types of information about the firm?
Performance
Revenue, expenses,
Ratios
Cash flow
Assets & liabilities
o Supply
Mandatory disclosures
Annual audited filings with the SEC (10Ks)
Quarterly unaudited SEC filings (10Qs)
Annual reports sent to shareholders- Key Players in Financial Reporting
o Preparers
SEC oversight role delegated to FASB
FASB rule-making body
GAAP set of rules created by FASB
Directors audit committee responsible for reporting of the firm
Auditors attest to the credibility of the financial reports
(Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) July 30, 2002 in response to Enron, WorldCom,etc.)

Corporate Acquisitions: Class notes
Investors large institutions and individuals- International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
o Set of global accounting standards for the preparation of public company financial statements
o Developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
o IASB is an independent accounting standard-setting body based in London
o 12,000 companies in almost 100 nations have adopted IFRS. Many more will transition in
2011o FASB and IASB are working towards convergence of US GAAP and IFRS
o SEC Roadmap
2011: decision whether US Firms are required to use IFRS
2014: implementation year in case of positive decision- Financial Statements
o Basic Financial Statements
Balance Sheet
Income Statement
Statement of Cash Flowso Supplemental information about the financial condition of a company
Statement of Shareholders Equity
Notes to Financial Statements footnotes are very important
Auditors Report- The Balance Sheet
o Apoint in timesnapshotof the investing and financial activities of the firm
o Balance sheet identity
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
E.g.
Investments = financial arrangements
Resources = claims on resources
Owns = owes
- The Income Statement
o A schedule that presents the results of operations of a firm for a specific period of time.
o NET INCOME = REVENUES EXPENSES
Revenues inflows of assets from selling and providing goods or services
Expenses outflows of assets used in generating revenueso Note: there is nothing in these definitions that referto cash
o Balance Sheet vs. Income Statement
Income statement links the balance sheet at the beginning of the period with thebalance sheet at the end of the period
Retained Earnings (RE) is increased each period by the net income of the period anddecreased by any dividends declared during the period
RE (end of period) = RE (beginning of period) + NET INCOME
DIVIDENDS
- Statement of Cash Flowso A schedule that reports the details ofwhere cash came from and where cash wentfor a
period of time.o Cash flows are categorized into:
Operating: Providing goods and services
Investing: Choice of assets used to run operations
Financial: Raising capital to pay for assets- Financial Statements: The Link
o CASH + NONCASH ASSETS = LIABILITIES + CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL +
RETAINED EARNINGS- Other Financial Reporting Items

Corporate Acquisitions: Class notes
o Statement of Shareholders Equity schedule that reconciles the change in S/Hs equity
accounts during a period of timeo Notes to financial statements
o Auditors opinion
o Financial highlights, including trends
o Managements Discussion and Analysis
o CEO/CFO Certification- CHAPTER 2- The Balance Sheet (p59-61 nice summary of balance sheet accounts)- Assets
o Definition: an asset is an economic resource that is expected to provide future economic value
(i.e. generate future cash inflows or reduce future cash outflows)
All assets are future benefits; however not all future benefits are accounting assets
Executory (uncompleted) contracts do not result in assets (must be an exchange)o An asset is included in the balance sheet (i.e. recognized) when:
Ownership the firm has acquired the right to use it in a past transaction orexchange
Measurable the value of its future benefits can be measured with a reasonabledegree of precision
o Examples Cash, Inventory, Accounts Receivable, PPE (property, plant, equipment)
Brand name or famous CEO (Warren Buffett) CANNOT be put on the balance sheet
Patents are intangible assets (R&D) GAAP requires that you expense the costs ofR&D. If you are generating it yourself, you can put a value to it. How can youverify the value? However, if you buy it from an outside party that establishes areliable value.
- Assets: Valuationo Three types
Acquisition or Historical Cost (adv: verifiable/reliable; disadv: may not reflecteconomic value)
Valued at the amount of resources paid to acquire it
Fair Market Value (adv: closer to market value; disadv: hard to measure)
Replacement cost entry price (valued at the cost of replacing the asset)
Net Realizable Value exit price (valued at the net cash received on selling
the asset)
Present value of expected future cash flows (adv: closer to economic value; disadv:reliance on assumptions that may not be accurate)
o GAAP on Valuation
Monetary assets an asset whose realization is fixed in terms of dollars
Use PV method
Examples: Cash, Accounts Receivable
Nonmonetary Asset all other assets
Historical Cost
Examples: PPE, inventory, etc.
Exception: marketable securities (valued at Net Realizable Value)
- Assets: Classificationo Current Assets: assets expected to be realized in cash within one operating cycle (typically
one year)
Examples: inventory, accounts receivableo Noncurrent assets: assets that are NOT expected to be realized in cash within one operating
cycle
Examples: PPE

Corporate Acquisitions: Class notes
o Why is this relevant? Liquidity it is a measure of liquidity and how quickly you can get the
assets out of the firm.- Liabilities:
o Definition: a liability is a claim on assets by creditors that represents an obligation to make
future payment of cash, gods or services (i.e. consume resources)o All liabilities are obligations; not all obligations are accounting liabilities
o A liability is included in the balance sheet (i.e. recognized) when: The obligation is based on benefits or services received currently or in a past
transaction
The amount and timing of payment is reasonably certain (measurable)
Examples: accounts payable, notes payable, advances from customers(prepayment), warranties
Is a lawsuit a liability? No. It is not measurable. This is called a contingent
liability. You do have to disclose them in notes.- Liabilities: Valuation
o Monetary liabilities liability whose settlement is fixed in terms of dollars (i.e. by contract)
Examples: bonds payable
Most liabilities require a specific payment
Valuation: PV of expected future cash flowso Nonmonetary liabilities all others! Typically requires delivery of goods or rendering of
service rather than payment of cash
Examples: advance from customers, warranty liability
Valuation:
Atface value (amount of resources received (e.g. customer advances)
At expected costof providing service (e.g. warranty liabilities)
- Liabilities: Classificationo Current liability: obligation expected to be paid in cash within one operating cycle
Example: accounts payableo Non-current liability: obligation with an expected due date beyond one operating cycle
Ex: long-term debto Current ration: Current assets/Current Liabilities
o Working capital: CA-CLo Acid Test Ratio (Quick Ratio) = (Cash + Acct Receivable + Short term investment)/Current
Liabilities - this basically ignores inventory.
If ACID test ratio is less than Current Ratio Inventory is a big deal. How liquidreally is the firms inventory?
- FAS 159: Fair Value Option (FVO)o Firms can optionally elect to use fair values to measure eligible assets and liabilities in their
financial statements
Fair value is the amount a firm would receive if it sold an asset or would pay if itsettled a liability at the measurement date
Effective date: fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007
Management has sufficient discretion in electing specific assets and liabilities, butonce FVO is elected it is irrevocable
Detailed requirements for applying fair value measurements to the calculation of netincome for specific assets and liabilities (e.g. bonds) are still not provided
The fair value option is still considered an interim step.o Inputs to Measuring Fair Value (FV)
Level 1: Observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets/liabilities(MOST RELIABLE)
Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted market prices within Level 1
Includes quoted prices for similar asses/liabilities in active market
Philip Larson Page 7
7/27/2019 5 Financial Accounting-notes.doc
8/44
Corporate Acquisitions: Class notes
Includes quoted prices for identical asses/liability in markets that are not
active
Observable factors relevant to using present values of cash flows to measure
FV
Level 3: Unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions(Managements assumptions) about the assumptions market participants would use
in pricing an asset/liability. (LEAST RELIABLE)o Disclosures Related to the Fair Value Option (FVO)
Balance Sheet
Identify the financial assets/liabilities for which it used the FVO and
disclose the reasons for choosing to measure those items at FV
Income Statement exact rules not yet set
Notes to Financial Statements
Indicate which Level (1, 2 or 3) you used for measuring FV
For assets/liabilities valued using more than one of the leels, classify the
asset as coming from the lowest level
More disclosure around Level 3 management assumptions
- Shareholders Equityo Definition : shareholders equity is the residual claim on assets by owners after settling claims
of creditors
o Valuation : value of assets MINUS value of liabilities. (A=L+SE)
o Two basic components of S/Hs equity
Contributed capital: initial investment of S/Hs
Preferred stock first preference for dividends but no voting rights.
Common stock voting rights
Additional paid-in capital (APIC) (e.g. if you sell a $1 par value stock in the
market for $10 you have $1 common stock and $9 additoinal paid-in capital
Retained earnings: additional investment of S/Hs resulting from firms retention ofearnings that belong to owners
o Is S/Hs equity (i.e. book value of equity) = market value of equity?
Market value of equity (market cap)
- Market to Book Ratioo Ratio of the market value of equity to the book value of S/Hs equity
Market value of equity (also known as the market capitalization of the firm) =number of common shares outstanding X market price per share
Book value of equity = the accounting value of S/Hs equityo Why would these differ?
Market value reflects the economic valueso MV/BV examples
Dell: 12.5
Microsoft: 6.18
Bank of America: 1.03
NOTE: while BoA holds mainly financial assets that are recorded in the accounting,
MSFT and DELL have brand name, R&D, etc. that are not incorporated into thebalance sheet- Accounting Cycle
o Lots of transactions
o 1. Analyze Transactions
o 2. Create journal entires (two sides must balance)
o 3. Post to a ledger which is a collection of T-accounts unadjusted trial balance
o 4. Adjusting entries
o 5. Closing entries

Corporate Acquisitions: Class notes
o END OF PERIOD three financial statements are created
- Double Entry Accounting Systemo Every economic event has two sides a give and a take
o Both sides of the transaction are to be recorded
o The basic accounting equation remains in balance
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders Equity
1) Inv up $100k, Acct Payable up $100k 2) Cash up $3k, Accounts Receivable down $3k
3) PPE up $40M, Notes payable up $40M
4) Cash up $300M, Common stock up $300M
5) Cash down $20k, Accounts payable down $20ko Assets, Liabilities and S/Hs Equity are stored in accounts
T-accounts: easy way to keep track of activity and multiple transactions in anaccount
o Account balances
Ending balance = beginning balance + increases decreaseso Debit an entry which
Is made on the left side of the T-Account
Increases an asset account
Decreases a liability account
Decreases a S/Hs equity accounto Credit is an entry which
Is made on the right side of the T-Account
Decreases an asset account
Increases a liability account
Incrases a S/Hs equity accounto Every transaction must have at least one debit and at least one credit
o Sum of debits = sum of credits
E.g. Dr. Inv. 100k; Cr. Acct Pay 100k
Class 2 10/6/2008
- Balance Sheet Definitionso Assets: economic resourcecs with the ability to provide future benefits to a firm
o Liabilities: creditors claims on the assets of a firm and show some of the sources of the
funds the firm uses to acquire the assets.o Shareholders Equity: amount of funds owners have provided and, in parallel, their claims
on the assets of a firm.o Retained Earnings: source of funds a firm derives from its earnings that exceed the
dividends it has distributed to S/Hs since its formationo Current Liabilities: obligations a firm expects to pay in one year
o Current Assets: generally convert into cash within one year.
o Historical valuation: reflects the acquisition cost of assets or the amounts of funds originally
obtained from creditors or ownerso Current Valuation: reflects the current cost of acquiring assets or the current market value of
creditors and shareholders claims on a firm.- Income Statement Definitions
o Income Statement: attempts to answer question How profitable is the firm? by showing
net income or earnings for a periodo Net Income: revenues expenses (aka earnings)
o Revenues: measure of the inflows of assets (or reductions in liabilities) from selling goods
and providing services to customers.o Expenses: measure of outflows of assets (or increases of liabilities) used in generating
revenues.

THE INCOME STATEMENT- Presents a moving picture of the operating results of a firm for a given period of time (e.g. quarter,
fiscal year)o Also known as Statement of Operations, Statement of Earnings
- Cash accountingo Cash Accounting method of accounting where revenues are recorded when cash is received
and expenses are recorded when cash is expended.
o Advantages
Provides reliable information about cash flows
Intuitive and easy to understand
Objective timing of transactions is clearo Disadvantages
Delay in recording revenues/expenses until cash changes hands
Poor matching of resources expended to benefits received
Subject to manipulation for example, firm can delay recording an expense bypostponing cash payment
o Accrual Accounting
Accrual Accounting: method of accounting where revenues and expenses arerecorded on an economic basis regardless of the actual flow of cash
Revenues recorded when benefits are earned
o When is revenue earned?
Expenses recorded when resources are expended to produce benefits.
Advantages
Better measurement of performance and matchingof benefits and costs of
transactions
Curtails manipulation of cash transactions
Disadvantages
More difficult conceptually (at what point is revenue earned?)
Cash is still king
Non-cash financial manipulation through discretion and choice in
accounting ruleso Earnings management: use of accounting discretion to distort
reported earningso Methods of Managing Earnings
1) Cookie Jar Reserves take hits during good periods(restructuring costs) to smooth out earnings numbers.
Philip Larson Page 11
7/27/2019 5 Financial Accounting-notes.doc
12/44
Corporate Acquisitions: Class notes
2) Concentrate costs in one quarter so future quarters lookbetter. Take a onetime hit, look bad, but then look reallygood going forward.
3) Financing Arm of company
4) Cutting out R&D costs particularly pharmaceuticaland software companies (other discretionary expenses)
5) Earnings guidance to analysts manage analystexpectations so market doesnt expect something higher.
6) Pro forma earnings EBITDA (excludingnonrecurring expenses) be aware that interest, taxes,depreciation, amortization, etc. will continue.
- Measurement Principles of Accrual Accountingo Measurement involves both timing and amount of the recognition for both revenues and
expenses.
Timing of revenue recognition
Measurement of revenue
Timing of expense recognition
Measurement of expenseso Over the life of the firm:
Cash income = accrual income- Revenues
o Revenues: benefits (or increases in net assets) earned by a firm for providing goods and
services
Net Assets = assets liabilities = Shareholders Equityo Revenue recognition criteria
Firm has delivered the goods to the customer or performed all or most of the services(i.e. it has earned the revenue)
Collection of cash (or other benefits) is reasonably assured though some uncertaintymay remain (bad debts, warranties)
Cash (or other benefits) to be received is measurable- How much revenue is recognized in December?
o A) $500k because goods delivered sold on credit
o B) 0 this was already recorded in October
o C) $10k this is what was earned in December
o D) 0 revenue they would have advance from customers
o E) This is not an income statement item this would go into paid in capital
- Expenseso Definition: Decreases in net assets (not necessarily cash) that arise in the process of
generating revenue.o The underlying expense recognition concept is the matching principle: recognize costs and/or
assets used as expenses in the period in which they generate revenueo Expense recognition criteria expenses are recognized when either:
Product costs (costs associated with the production of goods: record in the periodwhen the related revenue is recognized
Period costs (cannot easily be matched with revenue: record in the period when thecost is incurred
- How much expense is recognized in December?o A) 0 revenue not matching to any revenue yet
o B) 0 revenue
o C) $8,000,000 expense matching to the $15,000,000 in revenue
o D) $180,000 expenses in December they did their marketing for that month hard to match
to futureo E) 25000 in December

Corporate Acquisitions: Class notes
o F) this creates an asset, no revenue
o G) 0 dividends are NOT an expense it is not a part of generating revenues. DIVIDENDS
DO NOT GO INTO THE INCOME STATEMENT- Basic Accounting Equation with Revenues, Expenses and Dividends
o Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders Equity
o Shareholders Equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings
o Retained Earnings = Retained Earnings Beginning + Net Income for Period Dividend forPeriod
o Net Income = Revenues for Period Expenses for Period
- Purpose and Use of Individual Revenue and Expense Accountso Revenue and expenses could be recorded directly to the Retained Earnings account
o It is more informative to collect revenues and expenses separately during the accounting
period.o At the end of the accounting period, revenues and expenses are cleared (reset to zero) for the
new accounting period. Their balances flow into Retained Earnings. This is closing theaccounts
o Revnues and expense accounts are temporary accounts. In contrast, the balance sheet
accounts (asset, liability and S/Hs equity) arepermanent accounts whose balances carry overeach period
- Double Entry Accounting Systemo Revenue: increases credit the account (increase an asset); Decreases debit the account
o Expenses: increases are debited; decreases are credited
o Closing revenue account

Cr. Cash 80000o 8) The firm borrowed $300k from a bank. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 8% and
is due in 5 yrs. The interest is payable on January 1 of each year, beginning January 1, Year14. On December 31, Year 13 the firm recognized interest on the loan.
The 300,000 was from year 12 so it should have already been reflected.

CLASS 3- Revenue Recognition Principles
o Reasonably Certain that you will collect it from customers
o Delivered goods or provided the service at least most of the service or most of the goods

Corporate Acquisitions: Class notes
o Measurable must be measurable or else we cant recognize it in financial statements
- Staples Example
o 1) Review the revenue recognition policies of Staples discussed in Note A (Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies). What are the types of revenue recorded byStaples? Discuss why the recognition policies for these revenue types are consistentwith the revenue recognition criteria discussed in class.
Revenue is recognized at the point of sale for the Companys retail operationsand at the time of shipment for its delivery sales .
This is consistent with the Revenue Recognition principles of GAAP
Sales of extended service plans are either administered by an unrelated third party orby the Company. The unrelated third party is the legal obligor in most of the areasthey administer and accordingly bears all performance obligations and risk of lossrelated to the service plans sold in such areas. In these areas, Staples recognizes anet commission revenue at the time of sale for the service plans. In certain areaswhere Staples is the legal obligor, the revenues associated with the sale are
deferred and recognized over the life of the service contract, which is typicallyone to five years.
This is consistent with GAAP.
o 2) What is Staples accounting policy for advertising expenditures? What percent of Staples
Sales are advertising and marketing expenses in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003? What percent ofOperating and Selling expenses are advertising and marketing expenses in fiscal 2005, 2004and 2003?
Staples expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the
advertising takes place, except for the cost of direct-response advertising, primarilycatalog production costs, which are capitalized and amortized over their expectedperiod of future benefits (i.e., the life of the catalog). Direct catalog production costsincluded in prepaid and other assets totaled $28.4 million at January 28, 2006 and$30.8 million at January 29, 2005. Total advertising and marketing expense was$588.2 million, $526.0 million and $492.7 million for fiscal years 2005, 2004 and2003, respectively.
This is consistent with GAAP.
They spend about 4% of sales on advertising in 2003, 2004 & 2005
Advertising over Operating and Selling costs is about 22% across the years.
If you are looking for a particular expense, sometimes you need to look at
the footnotes.o 3. Show the journal entry made by Staples to reflect the amount of dividends declared during
fiscal 2005. You may assume that there are no prior period adjustments that affect RetainedEarnings.

o REFERS TO GOOGLEo 5. What type of opinion did the auditors issue regarding Googles financial statements? What
types of opinion did the auditors issue regarding Googles internal controls?o 6. Compute the percentage change in revenue from fiscal 2003 to fiscal 2004 and from fiscal
2004 to fiscal 2005. Conduct similar calculations for income from operations. [Note: youshould exclude the one-time expense recorded in 2004 and 2005 related to the Yahoodispute settlement and the Google Foundation contribution, respectively]. Based on theseresults, did expenses grow at a faster or slower pace than revenues? Which expense categoriesappear to account for the differences in growth rates between revenues and income fromoperations?
o 7. What is the date of the financial statements? What is the date of the auditors report? When
did the stock market learn about Googles results?o 8. For this question, please read and review: the excerpt of the press release titled Googles
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2005 Results the Google stock market charts in the attachedpages and the Wall Street Journal article dated February 1, 2006.
o a) How would you characterize the Googles results for fiscal 2005?
o b) Review the stock market charts for the period January 1, 2005 through May 1, 2006 for
Google. Compare the fiscal 2005 performance for Google with Googles stock price (from thestock chart) over the same period. Compare Googles 2005 stock price performance with theperformance of the broader set of firms trading on the NASDAQ exchange.
o c) Based on the stock market chart, was the news in the press release perceived as good
news or bad news by the market? According to the Wall Street Journal article datedFebruary 1, 2006, what appears to be the rationale behind the markets reaction to the news inthe press release?
o d) The earnings press release includes information about non-GAAP financial measures (also
known as pro-forma earnings) for the fourth quarter 2005. Why do you think Googlecomputes and reports these non-GAAP numbers? How might they be used by marketparticipants? The last page of the press release includes a reconciliation from the GAAPincome statement measures to the non-GAAP measures discuss the 2 items that are reflectedin GAAP Income from Operation that are excluded from the non-GAAP equivalent whatdoes each item capture and why would Google exclude each in computing the non-GAAPmeasure?

o Reports changes in cash over a period of time (moving picture) between balance sheet dates
due to operating, investing, and financing activities. People want to know the sources anduses of cash (e.g. lenders, suppliers, etc.)
- Why do we need SCF?o Cash is important enough to warrant reconciliation
o Cash flow as an alternative performance measure bankruptcy risk depends more on cash
flows than on profitso Past cash flows serve as an aid to
Predict future cash flows
Evaluate managements effectiveness in generating and using cash
Assess liquidityo Net change in Cash = Net Cash from operations + net cash fromfinancing+ net cash from
investing

payments of dividends vs. Interest and dividends collected (operating)
Interest and taxes paid (operating)- Methods of Presenting the Statement of Cash Flows
o Direct Method
Lists cash receipts and disbursements by source/use of funds
Always used for investing and financing activities
Rarely used for operating activitieso Indirect method
Only used for operating activities
Goal is to reconcile net income with cash from operations by removing noncashitems from net income
Net Income = Cash Revenue + NonCash Revenue Cash Expenses
Noncash expenses
Net Income (cash) = Cash Revenue Cash Expenses)
Almost every company uses this method for operating activities- Statement of Cash Flows: Indirect Method
o Well focus on indirect formatwhich is used by most firms
Involves reconciling net income to cash flow from operations by accounting for non-cash items embedded in net income
Net Income = Cash Revenue + Noncash Revenues Cash Expense
NonCash expense
Start with Net Income

Gains and losses on equipment sales
Accrual vs. cash flow differences in operating activities (sales vs. cash receipts)- Indirect Method: A Summary
o ??
- Statement of Cash Flows: Examples of Adjustmentso Depreciation is a non-cash expense why?
When you purchase a long-term asset you spend cash but do not expense the amountright away (matching principle)
Example
Revenue (Cash) = 100
Expenses, cash = (40)
Depreciation (20)
Net Income = 40
CFO = NI + Depreciation = 60
Note: Anything that is a noncash expense is added back in.
Example 2
Sales = 1400
Cash collections from customers = 1385
Accounts Receivable 100 115
Direct method: use 1385
Net Income = 1400
Change in AR 115-100 = Sales cash received;
subtract out this difference from net income and that gives us the cash theycollected. Receivables will go up by the difference in cash and noncashrevenues
Indirect method: 1400 15 = 1385 Example 3
Asset bought for $8 and depreciated $3
Net Book Value = $8-$3 = $5.
Sold it for $1

o STEP 1: create T accounts and put in beginning and ending balances from balance sheet
o STEP 2: look at additional information given
Net Income for year was $568,000 and dividends declared were $60,000
Update Retained Earnings by increasing $568,000

o STEP 3: Cash flow statement
Current assets/liabilities go to operations- START WITH NET INCOME AND ADD BACK IN DEPRECIATION
o Operating
Net Income is $568,000
Add back depreciation expense: $510,000
Accounts Receivable: subtract $106 because AR increased
Inventory: subtract 204 (inventory increased 204)
Loss on Machinery: $5,000
Accounts Payable: add back (accounts payable increased 146)
Tax Payable: add 16 (it increased and it is a liability) Other Payable: add 138
o Investing
Asset goes up (subtract from cash flow)
Land: subtract 36 (land went up 36)
Machinery: subtract 1018 (building and machinery increased)
Machinery: add 25,000 (put down the proceeds of the sale, not the book value) (whatis the corresponding adjustment in operating section? They made a loss. We addthat back.
Accumulated Depreciation: nothing left
Accounts Payable: increased by 146o Financing
Bonds Payable: went down 50 (subtract)
Common Stock: went up 32 (add it)
Dividends Paid to S/H: subtract 60 (subtract because dividends paid went up.- What can firms do to mislead investors regarding cash flows?
o Increase or decrease in assets that arent reflected.
o Working capital adjustments
changes in accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc. Companies can still followGAAP but they can delay paying suppliers, push customers to pay earlier which isntalways a good business practice. They can effect other business decisions to maketheir cash flow from operations look better.
o Classification
Most investors look at cash from operations. This is an important part of the SCF.Are they doing well in their operations.
Nortel had accounts receivable changes that were over a year old so they put them inthe investing section. The numbers still add up but the operating amount doesntchange.
Operating cash flow number may not be fool proof
o Depreciation expense method
Can affect the operating number because of the add back that can boost operating however, their net income will take a hit.
- Red flags watch out for if looking at companies
o Compare NI & CFO number if earnings and cash flow are going in different directions
Philip Larson Page 23
7/27/2019 5 Financial Accounting-notes.doc
24/44
Corporate Acquisitions: Class notes
You want the company to recover the cash. If they are growing in differentdirections, they may be channel stuffing (bogus customers)
o Look at Receivables, Inventory Growth & Sales if inventory is growing but sales are not,
they may have a lot of inventory that they cant sell. If they are getting receivables but nocash, why?
o Free Cash flow number analysts look at this.
Free Cash Flow = Cash from operations Capital investments (PP&E, etc.) = CFO (cash flow operations CFI (cash flow from investments)
If you have negative free cash flow, look at days to flameout this is liquidresources of firm / cashflow per day.
Liquid resources = Cash + AR + Inv + Marketable Securities
Cash Flow/day = FCF/365

o 5) Assume that the property sold by U.S. Airways during 2001 had an original cost of $100 million.
What was the entry to record the sale of the property?
Proceeds from Disposition of Property $53
They got Cash of $53
Accumulated Depreciation
What was the depreciation of the sold PP&E? How do we figure it out?
We know the gain was $3 (subtracted from operations)
We know that it cost $53, so we know accumulated depreciation was $50.

Dr. Cash 264
Dr Acc Rec 56 Cr Airline Grant 320
Cr.o 7) Why is the amount for Non-cash Charges an addition to net income in determining cash flow from
operations?
Because it is non-casho 8) Why are increases in Accounts Payable and Accrued expenses an addition to Net income in
determining cash flow from operations?
They are not cash. It is an expense for the period but not a cash expense. Therefore,you add it back because you only want to find the cash part of the period. Addanything that was a non-cash item.

(175) (185)- LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
o A liability is a claim on assets by non-owners that represents an obligation to make future
payments of cash goods or serviceso A liability is recognized when
Obligation is based on benefits or services received currently or in the past
The amount of timing of payment is reasonably certaino Valuation
Monetary reflected at the PV of future cash payments
Nonmonetary at expected cost of providing service (e.g. warranties) or amount of
resources advanced (e.g. customer advance)o Current and Noncurrent classifications
Some obligations have both current and noncurrent portions- Contingent Liabilities
o Contingent liabilities are potential liabilities some event has occurred, but the certainty of an
obligation to the firm is not yet determinedo GAAP requires recognition of contingent liability if:
It isprobable (80-85%) that an asset has been impaired or a liability incurred, and
The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimatedo Most often, contingent liabilities are not recorded but are disclosed in footnotes
o New concept constructive liabilities
Arise not from an obligation, but from management intent (e.g. costs associated with
a planned restructuring activity) E.g. this is a signal to investors contentious because there are cookie jar things
where management takes a big hit in one period, and then go forward and reversethat charge. This is very dicey. Potential for earnings management.

Zero coupon bondso Well illustrate using coupon bonds which have periodic payments of interest with the
principal amount repaid in one lump sum at the maturity of the bond.- Bonds
o Face or par value: the amount due at the maturity of an obligation
o Interest rate
Coupon interest rate stated rate in the bond contract that determines the amount ofthe periodic payments
Historical market interest rate/effective interest rate/yield to maturity the marketrate of interest at the date of issue of the bond
Determined by general market conditions and overall riskiness (e.g. credit
worthiness) of firm
Current market interest rate rate in the marketplace for a comparable piece of debt(maturity and risk)
o Coupon payments: annual/semi-annual interest payments determined by the face value of the
bond and the coupon interest rate contract
Total promised cash payments = annual/semi-annual interest payments and facevalue of bond due in full at maturity

EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE METHODo Amount by which the bond discounts gets amortized every period. The liability amount is
changing every period.o How much is the liability changing? This is the same as how much the bond value is
changing.o Dr. Interest Expense
Cr. Bond Discount (amount gets subtracted from unamortized Bond Discount untilthe balance becomes zero after 40 periods. This amount is the difference betweenthe actual interest expense and the amount actual shelled out in cash.
Cr. Casho When you are finding out the book value or to compute interest expense, use the historical a
rate.o When you are going to retire a bond or want the present value, use the current rate.
o Gain = Net Book Value Cash Outflow to Retire the Bonds (MV)
If the cash you have to pay is less than the book value, you have a gain from retiringthe bond.
If the cash you have to pay is more than the book value, you are making a loss inretiring the bond.
-- TRIBUNE CASE
o 7. What is the amount of long-term debt that is scheduled to be paid by the Tribune Company
during fiscal 2002?
Note 10: 410,890
o 8. What was the adjusting entry recorded by The Tribune Co. on December 31, 2001 to
recognize fiscal 2001interest expense on the LYONs (Liquid Yield Options Notes)?
Look at Note 10 The percentage before the amount is a coupon rte. LYONs is azero coupon bond. YTM was 3.57% but the coupon rate was zero. What is theinterest expense every period? It is due in 15 years.

o Bond got discounted by $10,042. This is the amount the bond
discount changed.o 9. If The Tribune Co. does not retire any of the LYONs during 2002, what would be their
book value on December 31,2002?
NBV of Lyons as of 12/31/2002
NBV = Bond Value as of 12/31/2001 + Interest Expense during 2002
= 291644 + (historical rate * beginning liability) = 291644 + (.0357*291644) = 302,056
For a zero coupon, interest expense is the same as the amount the bond
discount changes which is how the net book value changes as well.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE FINAL.o 10. Show the journal entry that was made by The Tribune Co. to retire the 6.65% notes,
including the final annual payment of interest) on their maturity date of October 1, 2001.
6.65% notes matured in October 2001, net of unamortized discount of $551
Company year end is 12/31 so this problem will be tricky.
Face Value = amount due at maturity
Face Value Bond Discount = Net Book Value (NBV) of Bond
NBV + Unamortized Discount = Face Value
Face Value = 199,449 + 551 = 200,000 Coupon Payment = Face Value * coupon rate
Coupon Payment = 200,000 * .0665 = $13,300
Oct 2000 Dec 2000 = 3 months of interest = 3/12 * 13,300 = $3325 (InterestPayable)

o 12. What adjusting journal entry was made on December 31, 2001 relating to the 7.45% notes
due 2009. You may assume that coupon interest payments are due annually on January 1.- LEASES
o Off balance sheet Financing: use of assets or services by a firm that obligates them to sacrifice
cash payments in the future, but the transaction is structured to avoid recording a liability onthe balance sheet
Example: operating lease of equipment Special Purpose Entities (SPE) can be considered off-balance sheet financing
o Goal of GAAP: assess whether the company using the assets (lessee) bears the risks of
ownership if so, the lessee will likely have to record the asset and the liability on itsbalance sheet
o Why might firms want to keep debt off the balance sheet?
Reduce perceived risk of firm
Increase access to new debt
Maintain slack in existing debt covenantso Lease
A lease is a contract in which an owner (lessor) grants the use of an asset to a secondparty (lessee) for a fixed period of time in exchange for a series of payments.
o Capital lease (financing lease)
Lessor transfers substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to the lessee
Lessee purchases the asset
o Operating Lease
Lessor transfers property rights to the lessee for a period of time
Lessee returns property to lessor at the end of thte lease term
Lessee rents the asset
o Criteria to Determine Lease Accounting Treatment
Method of lease accounting is not a choice it is dictated by the structure of thelease. Of course, management has control over how a lease is structured.
Key issue which party enjoys the economic benefits and bears the economic risksof the lesae property
A firm must account for a lease as a capital lease if the lease meets any one of the
following four conditions 1. Lessortransfers ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term
2. A bargain purchase option exists (lessee has a right to buy the asset at
the end of the lease for less than market value.
3. The lease term extends forat least 75% of the assets life
4. Thepresent value of the minimum lease payments is greater than or equal
to 90% of the fair value of the asset at the time the lease is signedo Accounting for Lessee: Operating Lease

SOUTHWEST CASE- 1. Refer to Note 8 of Southwests 2005 financial report. Record the journal entry to reflect scheduled
payments during 2006 for operating and capital leases in place at the end of 2005. Use this information
to infer an estimate of the average interest rate used by Southwest to determine the present value ofpayments on capital leases at the end of 2005.

o Calculate Average Interest Rate used by Southwest
Interest Expense = rate * Beginning liability
5 = rate * 74 Average Interest Rate = 6.8%
- 2. What would be the total amount of the obligation under capital leases included in the balance sheetat December 31, 2005 if Southwest used an implicit interest rate of 8% to determine the present valueof minimum lease payments on all capital leases? Assume that lease payments are made annually onDecember 31 and that payments after 2010 include 1 payment of $12 million at the end of 2011.
o Still on Note 8
Liability of a Capital Lease is the present value of future payments
Philip Larson Page 33

Obligation = 16/1.08 + 16/1.08^2 + 16/1.08^3 + 16/1.08^4 + 15/1.08^5 + 12/1.08^6= 70.76.
- 3. Compute the debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio, as defined in Chapter 5 in the text, for Southwest atDecember 31, 2005.
o D/E = Total liabilities/(Total Liabilities + Shareholders Equity) = Total Liabilities / Total
Assetso
= 7,543/14,218 = 53%- 4. Southwest has significant commitments under operating leases. If these agreements had been treated
as capital leases, what additional amount would be reported as a lease obligation on the balance sheetat December 31, 2005? What would be the impact on Southwests debt-to-equity ratio computed inquestion 3 above? Why may this type of analysis be useful in evaluating companies? The followingassumptions should be used to compute the present value of the minimum lease payments: 1) Theannual borrowing rate is 10%; Payments subsequent to 2010 ($1,164 million) are comprised of 5annual payments of $233 million; and Lease payments are made annually on December 31. Totalliabilities for purposes of the debt-to-equity ratio include all operating liabilities (current and long-term), long-term debt and obligations under capital leases and deferred credits.
o Capitalize the Operating Lease Payments Convert Existing Operating Lease
Commitments into Capital Leases
Discount the Operating Lease Payments
Year Payment Annuity Payment Discount Factor PV 2006 332 332 .9091 302
2007 309 309 .8264 255

2010 219 219 .6209 136
2011-2015 233 each year 3.79079 883 .6209 548
Present Value = 1608o Debt/Equity Ratio
There would be another Liability of 1608 on the balance sheet that is off balancesheet because they are using operating leases.
New D/E Ratio = (7543+1608)/(14218+1608) = 58%
This is an increase of about 10% just based on how the leases are structured.Therefore, adjusting the lease obligations can keep the debt/equity ratio lower.
DEFERRED TAXES- Introduction
o If you use LIFO for accounting, you must use it for taxes.
o You can get two separate forms of income depending on the rules. This difference, and how
it is reconciled, gives rise to deferred taxes.- Terminology
o Book Income
Income before income taxes (i.e. pre-tax income) for financial reporting purposeso Taxable Income
The amount of income on which taxes currently due is figured for tax reportingpurposes
o Differences between book and taxable income are of two types
Permanent differences: differences between book income and taxable income thatarise from the inclusion of revenues and expenses for financial reporting but not fortax reporting some revenues and expenses have special tax treatment
E.g. government bonds - interest revenue cannot include in tax
statements
Fines due to violation of laws cannot include in tax

Corporate Acquisitions: Class notes
Timing Differences: differences between book income and taxable income that relateto the recognition of revenues and expenses in different periods for tax and financialreporting.
E.g. depreciation
o Book -- straight line for financial; Tax - MACRS
Bad debt expense
o Book Allowance Method; Tax Direct Write-off Method- Deferred Income Taxes
o Matching Principle says that tax expense recognized each period should be based on the
amount of book income regardless of the amount of taxes actually payable this period basedon taxable income.
Match income tax expense with the GAAP pre-tax income amount
This ignores timing differences while computing the tax expense.o Income tax Expense (also called Provision for Income Taxes)
= (Book income before income taxes +/- permanent differences) * Statutory tax rate
o Income tax expense is comprised of a current component and a deferred component
Current component reflects actual tax due
Deferred component reflects tax associated with current period timing differencesbetween book and tax income
o Deferred tax assets and liabilities record the difference between tax payable to tax authorities
and the tax expense recorded in the income statement
Dr. Income Tax Expense
Dr. Deferred Tax Asset these account for the differences Cr. Deferred Tax Liability these account for the differences Cr. Tax Payable
- Deferred Tax Liabilities (DTL)o DTL is something the company has not paid yet but will pay later.
o Taxes paid < cumulative income tax expense on I/S
If Taxes Paid < Tax Expense on I/S then Deferred Tax Liabilityo The difference is something the company needs to pay up in the future. Therefore, they get a
liability until they pay the liability in the future.
o Results from Expenses recognized faster for tax purposes
Examples
o MACRS for tax purposes but straight line for book purposes
Revenues recognized slower for tax purposes
Examples
o Sales on credit revenues recognized in book income, only cash
revenue recognized in tax income- Deferred Tax Assets (DTA)
o DRA is something the company paid early and does not have to pay later. Almost like
Prepaid taxes.
o Cumulative taxable income > cumulative book income taxes paid > cumulative income tax
expense on I/So Expenses recognized slower for tax purposes
Examples
Bad Debt Expense
Warranty Expense only recorded in tax when you do the service
o Revenues recognized faster for tax purposes
Not a very common occurrence.
Example: completed contract method- Deferred tax Assets and Liabilities

- 3. Assume that the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% was used to calculate deferred tax liabilities related todepreciation.Duringthe year ended December 31, 2000, which report included a greater amount ofdepreciation expense: the tax return or the financial accounting income statement? What was themagnitude of the difference?
o During the year not cumulative looking for the current period difference in timing
due to depreciationo Note 10
DTL regarding depreciation
Change in DTL = Current Period Timing Difference * Tax Rate
Change in DTL = 555 527 = 28 Current Period Timing Difference = 28/.35 = 80
How do you know if it is higher in tax or book?
Depreciation expense is higher in the tax books
DTL increased from 527 to 555. Therefore, liability is increasing making
the expense higher in the tax books because income is lower in tax books soyou paid less taxes and the liability therefore increases.
- 4. Assume that the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% was used to calculate deferred tax liabilities related to
depreciation.As ofDecember 31, 2000, which system has recognized more depreciation expense: taxor financial accounting? What is the magnitude of the difference? What would be the percentagechange in Net properties on the balance sheet if tax depreciation had been used throughout theassets lives?
o Balance in DTL = Cumulative Timing Difference * Tax Rate
555 = Cumulative Timing Difference * .35
Cumulative Timing Difference = 555/.35 = 1586M
As of Dec 31, 2000, cumulatively, tax statement has recorded 1586 more ofdepreciation. Over the life of the total assets, they have recognized moredepreciation on the tax statement.
