CRITICAL THINKING PROBLEM 3.2 (continued)
Ted is better off than he would have been had he left his money in the savings account. He earned a profit of $1,450
from his Elegant Lawn Care business, compared to approximately $45.00 in interest his money would have earned
over the three summer months (assuming a bank interest rate of 6%; $3,000 � 0.06 � 3/12).
Ted needs to look beyond his current checking account balance of $500 and realize that this balance will increase
to $1,650 when he collects the $1,150 still owed to him. He also owns a truck and power mowers that he could
sell for additional cash.
Business Connections
Managerial Focus:
1. Provide summaries of
(a) revenues and expenses,
(b) assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity.
2. Review of financial records containing cash available, amounts due and dates due.
3. Reduce expenses; increase sales volume or raise prices.
4. Net income (or net loss) for the period.
Ethical Dilemma:
Do not open the account New Expenses without approval from the controller. You must identify what expenses
will be put into that account. Personal expense of the Accounts Payable clerk could be entered.
Streetwise:
1. Permanent - Current Assets, Property & Equipment, Current Liabilities, Long-Term Debt & Other Long-Term
Liabilities. Temporary – Net Sales, Cost of Sales, Selling, General & Administrative Operating Expenses,
Depreciation & Amortization and Interest & Investment Income.
2. Answer on file.
Financial Statement Analysis:
1. Financial data, operational information, plans for the future.
2. $2,575,300 billion.
3. Enterprise and Developer Solutions.
4. Yes, in fiscal year 2007, revenue increased to $3,157,881 billion compared to revenue of $2,575,300 billion in
fiscal year 2006. Net Income in fiscal year 2007 increased to $728,807 million from $505,809 million in fiscal year 2006.
5. Project Apollo, a universal client that enables rich Internet applications (RIAs) to run outside the browser
across multiple operating systems on desktop computers and other devices. Adobe Production Studio.

Extending the Thought:
Answers will vary. Students should recognize that all organization systems share a commonality that groups
items into classifications based on shared activities or relationships. For example, a company’s organization
chart groups reporting relationships that share a common interest or activity under one executive. Most
organizations, for example, have a director of finance and administration where managers of accounting,
budgets, human resources, payroll, and other financial-related functions report to a company chief.
Business Communication:
Students’ answers will vary, but should include the fact that the trial balance can help the accountant reveal a
variety of errors that may have been made when transactions were recorded.
Team Work:
All companies would have a cash account and accounts payable. A plumbing service would have accounts
receivable whereas a clothing store would have a credit card receivable. Both grocery store and clothing store
would have inventory. All would have wages expense except the real estate would have sales commission.
All would have office supplies expense. Depending on whether the company owned the building most would
have rent expense.
Internet Connection:
Honeywell is the most profitable. JC Penny has the most cash available. Honeywell has the most assets.
