Chapter 03 - Adjusting Accounts and Preparing Financial Statements 3-1 Chapter 3 Adjusting Accounts and Preparing Financial Statements QUESTIONS 1. The cash basis of accounting reports revenues when cash is received while the accrual basis reports revenues when they are earned. The cash basis reports expenses when cash is paid while the accrual basis reports expenses when they are incurred and matched with revenues they generated. 2. The accrual basis of accounting generally provides a better indication of company performance and financial condition than does the cash basis. Also, the accrual basis increases the comparability of financial statements from one period to the next. Thus, business decision makers generally prefer the accrual basis. 3. Businesses that have major seasonal variations in sales are most likely to select the natural business year as the fiscal year. 4. A prepaid expense is an item paid for in advance of receiving its benefits. As such, it is reported as an asset on the balance sheet. 5. Long-term tangible plant assets such as equipment, buildings, and machinery lead to adjustments for depreciation. Generally, land is the only long-term tangible plant asset that does not require depreciation. 6. The Accumulated Depreciation contra asset account is used for depreciation. It provides financial statement users with additional information about the relative age of the assets. Without the contra account information, the reader would not be able to tell whether the assets are new or in need of replacement. 7. Unearned revenue refers to cash received in advance of providing products and services. Another name for unearned revenue is deferred revenue. It is reported as a liability on the balance sheet. 8. Accrued revenue is revenue that is earned but is not yet received in cash (and/or other assets) and the customer has not been billed prior to the end of the period. Therefore, end-of-period adjustments are made to record accrued revenue. Examples are interest income that has been earned but not collected and revenues from services performed that are neither collected nor billed. 9. A If prepaid expenses are initially recorded with debits to expense accounts, then the prepaid expenses asset accounts are debited in the adjusting entries.

QUESTIONS

1. The cash basis of accounting reports revenues when cash is received while the accrual basis reports revenues when they are earned. The cash basis reports expenses when cash is paid while the accrual basis reports expenses when they are incurred and matched with revenues they generated.

2. The accrual basis of accounting generally provides a better indication of company performance and financial condition than does the cash basis. Also, the accrual basis increases the comparability of financial statements from one period to the next. Thus, business decision makers generally prefer the accrual basis.

3. Businesses that have major seasonal variations in sales are most likely to select the natural business year as the fiscal year.

4. A prepaid expense is an item paid for in advance of receiving its benefits. As such, it is reported as an asset on the balance sheet.

5. Long-term tangible plant assets such as equipment, buildings, and machinery lead to adjustments for depreciation. Generally, land is the only long-term tangible plant asset that does not require depreciation.

6. The Accumulated Depreciation contra asset account is used for depreciation. It provides financial statement users with additional information about the relative age of the assets. Without the contra account information, the reader would not be able to tell whether the assets are new or in need of replacement.

7. Unearned revenue refers to cash received in advance of providing products and services. Another name for unearned revenue is deferred revenue. It is reported as a liability on the balance sheet.

8. Accrued revenue is revenue that is earned but is not yet received in cash (and/or other assets) and the customer has not been billed prior to the end of the period. Therefore, end-of-period adjustments are made to record accrued revenue. Examples are interest income that has been earned but not collected and revenues from services performed that are neither collected nor billed.

9.A If prepaid expenses are initially recorded with debits to expense accounts, then the prepaid expenses asset accounts are debited in the adjusting entries.

10. For Research In Motion, all of the accounts under the category of Property and Equipment (except for Land), require adjusting entries. The expense related to the Depreciation Expense account would be understated on the income statement if Research In Motion fails to adjust these asset accounts. If the adjusting entries are not made, net income would be overstated. Note: Students might also correctly identify accounts receivable (for bad debts), Intangible assets (for amortization), Inventories (for shrinkage), and Short- and Long-term investments (for fair value) as needing adjustment.

11. Nokia reports 1,867 EUR (000,000s) for property, plant and equipment. For its adjusting entry, it would need to record Depreciation Expense (debit) on the plant and equipment and Accumulated Depreciation (credit) as the contra to the Property, plant and equipment account.

12. The accrued wages would be reported as part of the liability ―Other Accrued Liabilities‖ on Palm’s balance sheet.

Part 3 There are no differences between the two methods in terms of the amounts that appear on the financial statements. In both cases, the financial statements reflect the following:

Prepaid consulting fees as of May 31 ......................................... $ 1,950

Consulting fees expense for two months .................................. 1,500

Insurance expense for two months ............................................ 450

Prepaid insurance as of May 31 .................................................. 2,250

Unearned service fees as of May 31 ($3,600 + $4,950) ............. 8,550

Service fees earned for two months ($3,900 + $4,500) ............. 8,400

Prepaid advertising as of May 31 ................................................ 1,050

Advertising expense for two months.......................................... 2,400

When prepaid expenses and unearned revenues are recorded in balance sheet accounts, the related adjusting entries are designed to generate the correct asset, expense, liability, and revenue account balances. When prepaid expenses and unearned revenues are recorded in income statement accounts, the related adjusting entries are designed to accomplish exactly the same result.

Reporting in Action — BTN 3-1 1. The revenue recognition principle requires that revenue be recorded

when realized or realizable and earned, not before and not after. Most companies earn revenue when they provide services and products to customers.

2. Research In Motion provides information on revenue recognition in its footnote 1 titled ―Research In Motion Limited and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.‖ They report that ―Revenue from the sales of Blackberry devices is recognized when title is transferred to the customer and all significant contractual obligations that affect the customer’s final acceptance have been fulfilled. For hardware products for which software is deemed not to be incidental, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with industry specific software revenue recognition guidance.‖ Research In Motion also explains how it estimates accruals for price protection commitments, incentive programs, warranties and royalties related to sales of Blackberry devices.

3. For fiscal year-end February 28, 2009, the profit margin is ($ millions): $1,893 / $11,065 = 0.171 = 17.1% For fiscal year-end February 27, 2010, the profit margin is ($ millions): $2,457 / $14,953 = 0.164 = 16.4%

4. Solution depends on the financial statements accessed.

Comparative Analysis — BTN 3-2 1. Research In Motion Current year, profit margin = $2,457 / $14,953 = 16.4% Prior year, profit margin = $1,893 / $11,065 = 17.1% Apple Current year, profit margin = $8,235 / $42,905 = 19.2% Prior year, profit margin = $6,119 / $37,491 = 16.3% 2. Apple is more successful on the basis of profit margin in the current

year relative to Research In Motion, but Research In Motion is more successful based on the prior year profit margin. Research In Motion’s profit margin declined in the current year while Apple’s increased. In the current year, Research In Motion earned an average of 16.4 cents on each dollar while Apple earned 19.2 cents on each dollar.

Ethics Challenge — BTN 3-3 1. GAAP requires that annual deprecation be accumulated in a contra-

asset account, called Accumulated Depreciation. While property, plant, and equipment is often shown at its net value on the balance sheet (as with Research In Motion’s balance sheet in Appendix A) the cost of property, plant, and equipment along with its related accumulated depreciation are reported in the footnotes. Thus, Bergez is correct with her journal entry recommendation.

2. One strength of Welch’s method would be the ease of preparing the

balance sheet. The property, plant, and equipment balance in the adjusted trial balance would be directly transferable to the balance sheet when the preparer desired to show the amount at net. Welch’s approach carries weaknesses in that financial statement users would not be able to ascertain the original cost of the equipment or be able to know how much of the original cost had been allocated to depreciation to date.

3. While both approaches would lead to the same total assets on the

balance sheet, GAAP requires Bergez’s approach. As a professional, Bergez is required to uphold the standards of her profession and, thus, the decision is an ethical one for her.

Communicating in Practice — BTN 3-4 This communication activity has no set solution. A class discussion of the ratios can be conducted with emphasis on (1) return and profitability by industries and (2) a contrast of debt financing between industries.

Taking It to the Net — BTN 3-5 1. The Gap’s main brands (stores) are The Gap, Old Navy, and Banana

Republic. It also has Piperlime and Athleta brands. 2. The Gap’s fiscal year-end is January 30, 2010. It appears that The Gap’s

fiscal year-end is consistently set as of the Saturday closest to January 31 – meaning it falls in the last week of January or first week of February.

3. Net sales for the year ended January 30, 2010, are $14,197 million. 4. Net income for the year ended January 30, 2010, is $1,102 million. 5. Profit margin = $1,102 million / $14,197 million = 7.76% 6. The company probably chose a fiscal year-end as the end of January or

early February to have it be consistent with their natural year. For many retailers, the highest amount of sales is in November and December (with some residual in January including sales returns).

Teamwork in Action — BTN 3-6

Note that there is no specific solution to this activity. Still, the presentation of each expert team should reflect the following summary points:

Before Adjusting Balance Sheet Income Statement Type Account Account Adjusting Entry

Prepaid expense Asset overstated Expense understated Dr. Expense Cr. Asset* Unearned revenues Liability overstated Revenue understated Dr. Liability Cr. Revenue

Accrued Expenses Liability understated Expense understated Dr. Expense

Cr. Liability Accrued Revenues Asset understated Revenue understated Dr. Asset Cr. Revenue

* For depreciation, one would Credit the Accumulated Depreciation contra account.

Some implementation notes: This activity allows all students to be actively involved in the learning process. Encourage students to take the opportunity to ask questions in the small group environment the learning team provides. Encourage the better students to serve as experts on unearned revenues. The instructor’s observation of and reactions to expert teams’ development of presentation material as well as the delivery to learning teams will have a significant impact on the effectiveness of this activity.

Entrepreneurial Decision — BTN 3-7 1. a. To record the collection of cash from sale of the gift certificate in

advance of delivery of merchandise to the customer:

Cash ..................................................................... 300 Unearned revenue....................................... 300 b. To record the delivery of merchandise to the customer when he/she

uses the gift certificate:

Unearned revenue .............................................. 300 Revenue earned .......................................... 300 2. Carrying less inventory would allows Cheezburger Network to save the

costs of carrying that added inventory; such as warehousing costs, insurance, theft/damage, and other potential losses. Saving these costs can increase income. By increasing income (via lower costs), profit margin should increase.

3. If it carries additional inventory, Cheezburger Network can potentially

sell more merchandise and increase its profits. This might further fuel increased sales as additional customers might be attracted to its products. On the other hand, carrying inventory has risks. The most important risk for a company like Cheezburger Network is that of inventory obsolescence. Consumer tastes and trends are constantly changing, and by carrying less inventory, the business can be more flexible in quickly responding with products consistent with those changing consumer trends.

Hitting the Road — BTN 3-8 There is no formal solution to this field activity. The instructor may wish to tally students’ findings to see what companies were selected, who responded, what was the response time, etc. The instructor can also periodically ask students to bring in examples from their selected companies at certain times, and then compare and contrast them with the examples in the book.

Global Decision — BTN 3-9 1. Nokia’s Note 1 (Accounting Principles - Revenue Recognition) reports

that ―Sales from the majority of the Group are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually associated with ownership and effective control have ceased, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.‖ Subsequent text and paragraphs provide more details for revenue recognition for specific sub-categories of revenues.
