Introduction to Accounting

Focus of this class and our whole course course is “financial accounting”, and the “financial reporting” that firms do to parties external to the firm. We will focus first on how the financial statements are constructed and why, and then focus on issues of interpretation.

The purpose of financial reporting is to provide information to shareholders and others to make informed investment decisions

Much of financial reporting in this country and others is heavily regulated.

Financial reporting is a critical element of efficient allocation of resources in the economy. Economic success depends on investment going to the areas of greatest return, and accounting/financial reporting provides important information to facilitate.

Accounting Provides Information about…

• Firm’s operating activities– Purchase of raw materials, labor and other costs.– Selling products and services.

• Firm’s investing activities– Long term assets such as plant and machinery, land, buildings, etc.– Investment in R&D and other intangible assets– Investment in other companies (M&A)

• Firm’s financing activities– Issue or repurchase of securities, loans etc.– How the firm is financed.

• The information is provided via following major financial statements– Balance Sheet– Income Statement– Statement of Cash Flows– Statement of Shareholders’ Equity

4

Regulatory Backdrop

The role of government in the standard setting process.

Financial Statements are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)

“If you look at the history of the American capital market, there's probably no innovation more important than the idea of generally accepted accounting principles”.

Prof. Larry Summers (Former Treasury Secretary and the former President of Harvard University) as quoted on PBS on 4/24/2001.

The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission, created in 1934).• Determines and enforces GAAP.• For the most part, the standard setting is left to Financial Accounting

Standards Board (FASB)

5

The Components of the Financial Statements

• Management Discussion & Analysis

• Balance Sheet

• Income Statement = Changes in Retained Earnings

• Cash Flow Statement = Changes in Cash

• Statement of Stockholder’s Equity – Details of changes in the accounts relating to shareholders

• Footnotes

• Auditor’s Report

6

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet shows what the firm has (assets); what the firm owes (liabilities); and owners' claims on assets (stockholders' or owner's equity)

Keep in mind:

ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNER'S EQUITY

Details:

ASSETS - Resources that will provide a future economic benefit

that can be 1) quantified; 2) were acquired in an

exchange transaction.

7

Balance Sheet

Assets: Subheadings for Assets

Current Assets – Consumed or turned into cash within one year or operating cycle.Examples:Cash Accounts Receivable – amounts owed from product/services already deliveredInventory

What is the operating cycle?

Non-Current Assets – Assets that are expected to provide benefits over longer than one year

Property, Plant & EquipmentInvestmentsIntangible Assets – Sizable intangible asset called goodwill for Tyson. Goodwill results

from an acquisition

Balance Sheet

LIABILITIES:Fixed, unavoidable, obligations that must be settled at a definite time, that (in general)

result from a transaction.

SUBHEADINGS FOR LIABILITIESCurrent Liabilities – Discharged within one yearLong Term Liabilities – Long term debt; long term liabilities related to environmental

remediation

10

Balance Sheet

OWNER'S EQUITY:

Two categories of stockholders' equity, or owner's equity: 1) Contributed Capital = Amount paid for stock; 2) Retained Earnings = Accumulated earnings - dividends.

SUBHEADINGS FOR OWNER'S EQUITY:

Common stock at par value – Part of amount paid for stockAdditional paid in capital – Part of amount paid for stockRetained Earnings – Firm’s accumulated earnings that haven’t been distributedPreferred Stock Treasury Stock – The firm’s own stock that has been repurchased.

Income Statement

Accountant's measure of profitability for the owner.

Revenues -- Inflows of assets or reductions in liabilities from providing goods or services in the ordinary course of business

Simple – sales value of goods and services delivered during the period

Expenses - Resources consumed, or liabilities generated as a result of producing revenue

Accrual accounting -- Revenues and Expenses are not necessarily measured when cash flows.

15

Income Statement

Timing of cash flows causes problems as a potential measure of performance.

“Accrual accounting” smooths these inflows and outflows to better reflect performance.

“Accruals” refers to the way we separate the cash flow from the transaction recognition – e.g., when we use power to operate the lights, we “accrue” the expense in the period when we use the lights – not necessarily when we pay the light bill.

Additional example: We buy a building. When do we recognize the cost on the income statement. We recognize “depreciation expense” over the life of the building.

16

Income Statement

More on Expenses:

Two expense categories:

Product Costs or Product Expenses

These are "matched" with sales -- e.g., COGS

Period Costs - Difficult to match with a particular sale. Recognized when incurred.

18

Articulation of Balance Sheet and Income Statement

Income Statement measures net inflow of assets from conducting business.

Balance Sheet measures level of assets, liabilities and owner’s equity

Beginning Owner’s Equity + Net Income – Dividends = Ending Retained Earnings

Dividends -- Not an expense

19

Statement of Cash Flows

Statement seeks to explain the sources of change in the cash balance over the period. Most analysts focus a great deal of attention on the Income Statement, but the accounting rulemakers felt that financial statement users should be able to examine the flows of cash in a statement.

Three Sections:

Operating -- Cash generated by day-to-day operations of the firm

Investing -- How the firm invested or disinvested in fixed assets

Financing -- Items that affected the capital structure --e.g. dividends, issues of stock

Why do we need this statement?

23

Creating the Financial Statements

First part of the course this fall will reinforce our introduction of the above statements. We will also learn about how to take basic transaction data and generate financial statements. We want to do a basic version of this today.

“The Accounting Cycle”

Steps:1) The whole financial statement creation process is tied to transactions. In the actual

process, each transaction will be entered into a source referred to as a “journal”. 2) These individual transactions are aggregated into “ledgers” for purposes of preparing

the financial statements (T-accounts is another term for the aggregating places for the transactions.)

3) More in class during the semester, but a number of “adjusting entries” are required to get the books right – e.g., recording depreciation on a machine. Adjusting entries refer to entries that are made without a transaction.

4) Prepare the statements.

24

Creating the Financial Statements

Some thoughts on financial statement preparation.

1) Assets – Non-Monetary -- Recorded at Acquisition Cost

Monetary – Recorded at “Present Value” – What I would settle for in

cash now

Monetary – Specific Amount of Money Promised – Example: $100 to be paid in 5 years

Non-Monetary – Inventory, Machines, etc.

2) Liabilities – At Present Value in General.

Many times the “Present Value” Calculation is Trivial – If you borrow $100 million when you issue bonds, the present value of the bonds is the $100 million.

25

Creating the Financial Statements

Some thoughts on financial statement preparation.

Owner’s Equity

Common Stock

“Additional Paid in Capital”

Together two accounts above represent the amounts paid by shareholders for stock.

Retained Earnings – Recorded based on the amount of Income the firms has recognized, less any dividends that have been paid out

26

Creating the Financial Statements

Some thoughts on financial statement preparation.

Income Statement

Revenues and Expenses

Revenues – Sales value of goods or services delivered this period.

Expenses – Assets consumed this period to deliver revenues; Examples: Cost of Sales, Operating Expenses, Depreciation Expense, etc.

27

Creating the Financial Statements

An Example of the Process

1) Firm issues 10,000 shares of $1 par value common stock for $100,000.

2) Buy a building for $50,000.

3) Borrow $100,000 from a bank. Let’s call this a “Note Payable”.

4) Buy equipment for $40,000

5) Buy inventory for $40,000 “on account” from several suppliers.

6) Pay some of the suppliers in transaction 5 $15,000.

28

Creating the Financial Statements

Record the transactions:

1) Firm issues 10,000 shares of $1 par value common stock for $100,000.

Cash (an account we always see) increases by $100,000

Common Stock at Par (an account we almost always see) increases by $10,000.

Additional Paid-in Capital increases by $90,000.

If we were doing journal entries:

Debit Cash $100,000

Credit Common Stock at Par $10,000

Credit Additional Paid in Capital $90,000

29

Creating the Financial Statements

Record the transactions:

2) Buy a building for $50,000.

Cash decreases by $50,000.

An asset account increases by $50,000. A typical possibility is “Property, Plant, and Equipment”.

If we were doing journal entries:

Debit Property, Plant, and Equipment $50,000

Credit Cash $50,000

30

Creating the Financial Statements

Record the transactions:

3) Borrow $100,000 as a note from the bank

Cash increases by $100,000.

Note Payable, a liability, increases by $100,000.

If we were doing journal entries:

Debit Cash $100,000

Credit Note Payable $100,000

31

40

Creating the Financial Statements

Our example firm commences operations for a month:

1) Labor costs for the month are $10,000.

2) Pay the workers $8,000 by the end of the month.

3) Accrue but not pay $800 of interest on the note.

4) Sell inventory that originally cost $20,000 for $50,000. The $50,000 of sales are on credit. $40,000 collected by end of month.

5) Recognize depreciation on the Building and Equipment of $1,000.

41

Creating the Financial Statements

Record the transactions:

1) Labor costs are $10,000. As we will discuss more in class, this transaction affects the income statement. Income statement accounts are “temporary accounts”, in that they are “closed” at the end of the accounting period. Ultimately, the expense represents a costs the owner’s bear to do business (it decreases retained earnings). So, in terms of recording, the labor cost decreases income (retained earnings). Act like for purposes of recording, wages are accrued and then paid later.

Wage Expense is $10,000. This decreases net income (and therefore owner’s equity) by $10,000.

Wages Payable (a liability) increases by $10,000

If we were doing journal entries:

Debit Wage Expense $10,000 (Ultimately, retained earnings decreases) Credit Wages Payable $10,000.

The liability “accrues” as the people work, independent of the pay schedule. Their costs are a cost of generating revenues this period.

42

Creating the Financial Statements

Record the transactions:

2) We pay the workers $8,000 by the end of the month. We will wind up at the end of the month owing our workers $2,000 resulting in a payable on the ending balance sheet. Why? In accounting terms, workers did the work, but haven’t been paid at the end of the period for work already done.

Paid wages decreases the wages we showed in the last slide by $8,000. So Wages Payable decreases by $8,000

Cash decreases by $8,000.

If we were doing journal entries: Debit Wages Payable $8,000 Credit Cash $8,000

43

Creating the Financial Statements

Record the transactions:

3) We accrue interest on the note. We used the money this period to generate revenue, so the cost of funds is an expense.

Interest Expense of $800 (decreases net income and ultimately retained earnings).

An Interest Payable (Liability) or “Accrued Expenses” account would be increases by $800.

If we were doing journal entries: Debit Interest Expense $800 (Ultimately, retained earnings decreases) Credit Interest Payable Payable $800

44

Creating the Financial Statements

Record the transactions:

4) We record sales, and the cost of these sales is $20,000. Income effects are the sale (revenue of $50,000) and the cost of the sale ($20,000). $40,000 is collected from customers.

Sales increases net income (revenue – ultimately retained earnings) by $50,000, and firm would record an “Account Receivable” when the revenue is recognized. Collection would decrease the receivable by $40,000 and increase cash by $40,000.

Cost of sales would decrease net income (expense- ultimately retained earnings) by $20,000, and would decrease inventory by $20,000.

If we were doing journal entries:

Debit Accounts Receivable $50,000 Credit Sales Revenue $50,000 (Retained Earnings Increases)

Debit Cash $40,000 Credit Accounts Receivable $40,000

Debit Cost of Sales $20,000 (Retained Earnings Decreases) Credit Inventory $20,000

45

Creating the Financial Statements

Record the transactions:

5) Record depreciation on the Building and Equipment. Equipment is used up. This is a cost of doing business that the owner’s will bear. The accounting term is depreciation (recording is maybe not obvious as discussed in class). The depreciation decreases net income, and simultaneously decreases assets

Accumulated Depreciation of $1,000. This is an “offset” account (technical name “contra-asset”) that reduces the reported Property, Plant, and Equipment account on the balance sheet

Depreciation Expense $1,000 reduces net income and ultimately retained earnings by $1,000.

If we were doing journal entries:

Debit Depreciation Expense $1,000

Credit Accumulated Depreciation $1,000

46

Creating the Financial Statements

Producing a Finished Set of Financial Statements

We can now prepare the financial statements (balance sheet and income statement). Here is how the process would proceed. We would start with the balances from the balance sheet we previously prepared (there would be a T-account for each account in the balance sheet).

We would then record the new transactions, opening new accounts as necessary. We would have to open “temporary accounts” to record the income transactions.

Starting Point: Prop, Plant Stock Add’l Paid Cash Inventory & Equip. Accts Pay Note Pay at Par in Cap.

To complete the “accounting cycle” we would “close” the revenue and expense accounts (zero them out), and reflect all their effects in retained earnings. Our Income Statement would appear as follows:

Sales Revenue $50,000

Cost of Sales 20,000

Other Expenses:

Wages 10,000

Interest 800

Depreciation 1,000

Net Income $18,200

Some Parting Items

You probably know that you will be receiving your textbooks from the EMBA Office. I have put the introduction (preface and related blah-blah) and first three chapters of the course text (and the solutions to the problems at the end of these chapters) on the course page in pdf form, which we will use throughout the semester. (Sorry, but we can’t get you the book in pdf form.) The address of the course page and login information is below:

See next page for a bibliography of some relevant materials. If you have trouble, my e-mail is [email protected]

Where we are going the first weekend in class is to get through (sort of) the first three chapters of the text. If you want to plunge ahead now -- after you do the introductory material we sent you (from Ivy Software by Holt), you can read through the first three chapters of the text and work on the following problems (likely the problems I will ask you to prepare for class discussion for the first weekend -- note that you have the answers supplied by the text authors in the files referenced above).

1- 20(part a only); 1-24; 1-27 (part a only); 29 (part a only); 2-22; 2-23; 2-24; 2-27; 2-31; 2-39(part a only); 3-29; 3-31; 3-32 (part b only); 3-35
