Accounting is a system for recording information about business transactions to provide summary statements of a company's financial position and performance to users who require such information
Three sets of books
Financial accounting
Standardized reports for external stakeholders
Tax accounting
IRS rules for computing taxes payable
Managerial accounting
Custom reports for internal decision making
Financial Reporting Requirements
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires periodic financial statement filings:
10-K: Annual report
10-Q: Quarterly report
8-K: Current report (material events)
Must be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
Periodic filing requirements create much of the "tension" in financial accounting
Ship goods to a customer in one quarter, collect cash in the next
When did the sale occur?
Buy equipment in one quarter, use it for the next 23 quarters
When does the expense occur?
Responsible for Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for preparing financial statements
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors provides oversight of management's process
Auditors are hired by the Board to "express an opinion" about whether the statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP
The SEC and other regulators take action against the firm if any violations of GAAP or other rules are found
Information intermediaries (stock analysts, institutional investors, the media) may expose or flee firms with questionable accounting
Required Financial Statements
Balance Sheet
Financial position (listing of resources and obligations) on a specific date
Income Statement
Results of operations over a period of time using accrual accounting (i.e., recognition tied to business activities)
Statement of Cash Flows
Sources and uses of cash over a period of time
Statement of Stockholders' Equity
Changes in stockholders' equity over a period of time
Example

•Contributed Capital (arises from sale of shares)
•Retained Earnings (arises from operations)
Accounts Receivable (amounts owed by customers on sales)
Notes Receivable (amounts owed by noncustomers on loans)
Interest Receivable (accrued revenue not yet received in cash)
Inventory (costs of goods available for sale)
Prepaid Expenses (rent, insurance, etc. – deferred expenses)
Typical Long-Term Assets
Land (tangible asset, not depreciated)
Buildings, Equipment (tangible assets that are depreciated)
Accumulated Depreciation (contra asset – sum of past depreciation)
Investments (long-term investments)
Notes Receivable (could also be noncurrent)
Intangible assets (patents, goodwill, etc.)
Liabilities
A liability is a claim on assets by "creditors" (non-owners) that represents an obligation to make future payment of cash, goods, or services
A liability is recognized when:
The obligation is based on benefits or services received currently or in the past
The amount and timing of payment is reasonably certain
Typical Liabilities
Accounts Payable (amounts owed to suppliers on purchases)
Notes Payable (or mortgage payable – amounts owed to creditors [banks] on loans--could be current or noncurrent)
Accrued Payables (or Accrued Expenses) (wages, salaries, interest, dividends, taxes, warranties, etc. – accrued expenses not yet paid in cash)
Unearned Revenue (also advances from customers – deferred revenues)
Stockholders' equity
Stockholders' equity is the residual claim on assets after settling claims of creditors (= assets – liabilities)
Also called "net worth", "net assets", "net book value"
Sources of Stockholders' equity:
Contributed capital (arises from sale of shares)
Common stock (par value)
Additional paid-in-capital (excess over par value)
Treasury Stock (stock repurchased by company)
Retained earnings (arises from operations)
Accumulation of net income (revenues minus expenses), less dividends, since start of business
Retained EarningsEND = Retained EarningsBEG + Net Income – Dividends
Dividends are distributions of retained earnings to shareholders
Not an expense
Recorded as a reduction of retained earnings on the declaration date (creates a liability until payment date)
Typical Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock (at Par) (Shares issued times par value)
Additional Paid-in-Capital (Shares issued times [market price – par value])
Retained Earnings (Equals prior retained earnings plus revenues minus expenses minus dividends)
These equations must be in balance at all times!
• The balance sheet equation can be preserved through the use of "debits" and "credits"
• Definitions of Debit and Credit:
– Debit (Dr.) = Left-side Entry
– Credit (Cr.) = Right-side Entry
Debit/Credit Bookkeeping
Debits = Credits
Rules of Debits and Credits:
Every transaction must have at least one debit and at least one credit
Debits must equal credits for all transactions
No negative numbers are allowed
Accounts and Account Balances
Normal Balance
The type of balance (debit or credit) the account carries under normal circumstances
T Account
A record of all changes in an accounting quantity
Debits are listed on the left side of the T
Credits are listed on the right side of the T
Account Balance
Difference between sum of debits and sum of credits for the account
Which specific asset, liability, stockholders' equity, revenue or expense accounts does the transaction affect?
Does the transaction increase or decrease the affected accounts?
Should the accounts be debited or credited?
Journal entry format
Dr. <Name of Account Debited> $XXX

Bookkeeping Examples
The Accounting Cycle
Accrual Accounting and the Income Statement
Revenues and Expenses
Income Statement
Reports increase in shareholders' equity due to operations over a period of time
Income statement equation:
Net Income = Revenue – Expenses
Net income is also called "earnings" or "net profit"
All income statement items are based on Accrual Accounting principles
Accrual Accounting
Accounting recognition of revenues and expenses are tied to business activities, not to cash flows
Revenues are recognized when goods or services are provided (revenue recognition criteria)
=> Revenues ≠ Cash inflows
Expenses are recognized in the same period as the revenues they helped to generate (matching principle)
=> Expenses ≠ Cash outflows
Net income ≠ Net cash flow
Revenue
Revenue is an increase in shareholders' equity (not necessarily cash) from providing goods or services
Revenue recognition criteria
It is earned (i.e. goods or services are provided)
It is realized (i.e. payment for goods or services received in cash or something that can be converted to a known amount of cash)
Example
BOC delivers $500,000 worth of washing machines in December to customers who don't have to pay until February $500,000
BOC collects $300,000 cash in December for washing machines delivered in October $0
BOC Realty leases space to a tenant for the months of December and January for $20,000, all of which is paid for in cash in December $10,000
BOC Aerospace receives an order for a $400,000 jet in December to be delivered in July $0
BOC Bank is owed $100,000 of interest on a loan for December and receives the payment in January $100,000
BOC issues 20,000 shares of stock in December and receives $10/share, which is $2/share more than they expected $0
Expenses
Expenses are decreases in shareholders' equity (not necessarily cash) that arise in the process of generating revenues
Expenses are recognized when either:
Related revenues are recognized (product costs)
Incurred, if difficult to match with revenues (period costs and unusual events)
The underlying recognition concepts are the
Matching principle (product vs. period costs)
Conservatism principle (unusual events): recognize anticipated losses immediately, recognize anticipated gains only when realized
Example
BOC Automotive buys engines worth $2,000,000 in December for cash $0
BOC Automotive uses the engines to make cars at a total cost of $10,000,000 in December $0
BOC Automotive sells cars costing $8,000,000 in December for $15,000,000 $8,000,000
BOC Automotive incurs $180,000 in salaries for its marketing staff in December $180,000
BOC Automotive pays its auditor $50,000 in December for services to be rendered in December and January $25,000
BOC Automotive pays $1,200,000 in cash dividends in December $0
Adjusting Entries
Adjusting entries
Internal transactions that update account balances in accordance with accrual accounting prior to the preparation of financial statements
Deferred Revenues and Expenses
Update existing account balances to reflect current accounting values
Cash flow in past; record revenue/expense now
Deferred Expenses
Question: Are there any assets that have been "used up" this period and should be expensed?
Examples:
Prepaid Rent
Prepaid Insurance
Depreciation or amortization
Journal Entry:
Dr. Expense
Cr. Prepaid Asset
Deferred Revenues
Question: Are there any liabilities that have been fulfilled by delivery of goods or services that should be recognized as revenue?
Examples:
Unearned rental revenue
Deferred subscription revenue
Journal Entry:
Dr. Unearned Revenue Liability
Cr. Revenue
Accrued Revenues and Expenses
Create new account balances to reflect unrecorded assets or liabilities
Record revenue/expense now; cash flow in future
Accrued Expenses
Question: Have any expenses accumulated during the period that have not yet been recorded?
Examples:
Income Taxes Payable
Interest Payable
Salaries and Wages Payable
Journal Entry:
Dr. Expense
Cr. Payable Liability
Accrued Revenue
Question: Have any revenues accumulated during the period that have not yet been recorded?
Examples:
Interest Receivable
Rent Receivable
Journal Entry:
Dr. Receivable Asset
Cr. Revenue
Depreciation and Amortization
Allocate the original cost of a long-lived asset over its useful life
Matches the total cost of asset to the revenues it generates over its period of use
Depreciation is not deducted from the tangible asset account. Rather, it is recorded in a Contra Asset Account (XA) called Accumulated Depreciation, which
has a credit balance
is subtracted from PP&E on the balance sheet to get the "Net Book Value"
Amortization is often (but not always) deducted directly from the intangible asset account
Internal transactions that "zero out" temporary accounts at the end of the accounting period
Revenue and Expense account balances are transferred to Retained Earnings
Revenues:
Dr. Revenue Accounts (-R, -SE)
Cr. Retained Earnings (+SE)
Expenses:
Dr. Retained Earnings (-SE)
Cr. Expense Accounts (-E, +SE)
Post-closing trial balance
Summarizes balances of permanent accounts after closing entries
All revenue and expense accounts have a zero balance
Cash Flows
Statement of Cash Flows
Reports changes in cash due to operating, investing, and financing activities over a period of time
Statement of Cash Flows format:
Non-cash transactions are disclosed at the bottom of the statement
Cash interest paid and cash income taxes paid must also be disclosed
Operating Activities
Transactions related to providing goods and services to customers and to paying expenses related to generating revenue (i.e. "income statement" activities)
Operating cash outflows exclude these income statement items:
Depreciation and amortization (and other noncash items)
Gains or losses on disposal of PP&E
Investing Activities
Transactions related to acquisition or disposal of long-term assets
Financing Activities
Transactions related to owners or creditors (except for interest payments)
Note: Under IFRS, interest and dividends received and paid may be classified as operating, investing, or financing
SCF and Growth Stages
Methods for Preparing SCF
Direct method
Lists cash receipts and disbursements by source/use of funds
Always used for investing and financing activities
Rarely used for operating activities
Indirect method
Only used for operating activities
Goal is to reconcile net income with cash from operations by removing noncash items from net income and including additional cash flows not in net income
Almost every company uses this method for operating activities
Indirect Method Preparation
Start with Net Income
Adjust for components of Net Income tied to noncash items or to investing activities
Add back expenses or subtract revenues
Noncash items: Depreciation, amortization
Investing activities: Gains/losses on sale of PP&E or investments
Adjust for components of Net Income tied to assets or liabilities created through operating activities (i.e., working capital)
Add or subtract change in asset/liability account balance
Use the balance sheet equation to determine whether to add or subtract:
Why does the change in balance sheet numbers often not equal the number on the SCF?
Noncash investing and financing activities
Supplemental disclosure below SCF
Acquisitions and divestitures of businesses
Investing activity that affects balances in operating asset and liability accounts
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments
Changes in cash due to exchange rate movements shown separately
Subsidiaries in different industries (e.g. real estate)
Some transactions (e.g. buying land) are investing activities in one part of business and operating in another
Disagreement over FASB Classification
Many investors and analysts prefer to classify
Interest payments as a financing activity
Cash paid for interest must be disclosed
Interest and dividends received as an investment activity
All income tax effects are shown in the operating section, even if the income relates to financing or investing activities
Cash taxes must be disclosed
EBITDA, Earnings, and Cash Flows
EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is often used as a proxy for cash flow that excludes interest and taxes
However, EBITDA does not measure cash flow well if there are large changes in working capital and suffers from the same manipulation potential as net income
For example, "channel stuffing" would increase earnings and EBITDA, but no cash is collected (instead, accounts receivable increase). Subtracting the increase in AR from EBITDA would correct this problem
Research finds that Earnings are a better predictor of future cash flow than current Cash Flow from Operations
But using both gives the best predictions
Free Cash Flow
Operating cash flow minus cash for long-term investments
There is no standard measure for operating cash flow.
Examples for different textbooks include:
Cash from operations before interest expense
NOPLAT (Net operating profits less adjusted taxes)
(NOPLAT = EBITDA – Cash taxes on EBITDA)
NOPAT – increase in working capital
(NOPAT = Net Income + After-tax net interest expense)
Net income adjusted for depreciation and other noncash items – increase in working capital
EBIT(1-tax rate) + Depreciation
EBITDA
Companies often disclose free cash flow using their own custom definition

Relic Spotter Inc. Case
Journal entries and post to T-accounts
In March 2012, Rebecca Park identified an excellent business opportunity while she was a first-year MBA student at Wharton
• She read a story about an MBA student who tripped while jogging in Fairmount Park and found an ancient gold coin in the underbrush. It was an old Viking coin that was appraised at $77,500
• She realized that she could set up a profitable business that rented out portable Metal Detectors to people that wanted to search Fairmount Park for more Viking relics
• Also, Park had the idea of stocking her store with "sundries," such as water bottles and energy bars, that she could sell at a huge mark-up to renters before their expedition into the park Park prepared a business plan and approached a fellow student, Jay Girard, who had a sizable trust fund and who she believed would invest in this new venture
• Due to his myriad of other investments, and his heavy course load, Girard agreed to invest as a silent partner and allow Park to run the business, which she named Relic Spotter Inc.
(1) What accounts are involved?
(2) Did they increase or decrease?
(3) Do we debit or credit?
(1) On April 1, 2012, Girard decided to invest $200,000 and Park put up $50,000 to purchase a total of 25,000 shares in the new company. The par value of the shares was $1.00
(2) Lacking the funds for her initial investment, Park borrowed the $50,000 from the Imperial Bank of Philadelphia on April 1, using her parent's house as collateral
(3) On April 2, Park hired a lawyer to have the business incorporated. Because this was a fairly simple organization, the legal fees were only $3,900
(4) To house the business, Park bought an abandoned pizza parlor near Fairmount Park for $155,000 on April 7. The building was old and needed renovation work. The purchase documents allocated $103,000 to the land and $52,000 to the building. Park paid for the building with $31,000 cash and a $124,000 mortgage from the Imperial Bank
(5) Park felt that some renovation work would extend the life of the building to 25 years (with an expected salvage value of $10,000). She ordered the renovation work, costing $33,000, to begin immediately. The work was completed on May 25, at which time she paid in cash the amount owed for the renovations
(6) Park phoned a number of metal detector vendors until she found one that was willing to give her a volume discount. On June 2, Park purchased 240 metal detectors at an average cost of $500 per unit ($120,000 total). The innovation in the industry is so rapid that Park felt the units would only last for two years, at which time they would have no remaining value
(7) On June 15, Park ordered $2,000 of sundries inventory (e.g., water bottles, energy bars, etc.) to be delivered on June 30. Park was able to purchase the inventory "on account", which meant she had up to 30 days after delivery to pay the supplier
(8) On June 30, Park paid $2,100 for a three-year site license to use geo-contour mapping software in the metal detectors
(9) On June 30, Park signed a contract with a local advertising agency to provide various forms of advertising for a period of one year. She paid $8,000 upfront for advertising through June 30, 2013
(10) On June 30, Park needed cash to make a payment on the Imperial Bank loan that funded her purchase of Relic Spotter stock. She borrowed $5,000 from Relic Spotter at 10% interest, with the principal and interest due in a lump sum on June 30, 2013
(11) On June 30, Park also hired two employees, Linda Carlyle and Charlotte Cafferly, to run the shop. They signed employment contracts promising each salaries of $32,000 per year
(12) On June 30, Girard called from St. Tropez to check in on the business. Upon hearing that Relic Spotter only had $47,000 of cash left in the bank, Girard became concerned about his investment.
Thinking fast, Park stated that she was so confident of Relic Spotter's prospects that she was declaring a $0.10 per share dividend, to be paid on August 31 ($2,500). This dividend seemed to reassure Girard
(13) Relic Spotter opened for business on July 1, 2012, just in time for the big Independence Day weekend. On July 31, Park paid the supplier the $2,000 it was owed
(14) On August 31, Park paid the $2,500 dividend that had been declared in June
(15) In a search for new revenue opportunities, Park initiated an unlimited rental arrangement with the Penn Antiquities Club on December 1, 2012. Under this arrangement, the club paid Relic Spotter $1,200 cash upfront for unlimited rentals over the next year
(16) For the six months ended December 31, 2012, rental revenues on the metal detectors totaled $124,300. Most of the rentals were paid in cash immediately. However, as an initiative to reward repeat customers, Park allowed a select number of frequent renters to charge their rentals and be billed later. As of December 31, 2012, $4,200 was outstanding under this plan
(17) During the period between July 1 and December 31, Park purchased $40,000 of sundries inventory, of which $38,000 had been paid in cash and $2,000 was still owed at December 31
(18) Relic Spotter recorded sales of sundries totaling $35,000 for the six months ended December 31, all received in cash
(19) The original cost of these sundries was $30,000
(20) Finally, Relic Spotter's two employees were paid wages of $32,000 total during this six-month period and Park drew a salary of $50,000
Adjusting Entry
(21) When Park called her accountant on December 31, 2012, she was pleased to tell him that the company had $78,800 in cash. She wanted to go out to celebrate, but the accountant reminded her that she needed to stay in to do adjusting entries. For example, even though it wasn't paid in cash, accrued interest on the mortgage was $4,900
(22) The accountant said that depreciation needed to be recorded on the building (Park was confused by this because she received an unsolicited letter from a mortgage broker informing her that the building had increased in value to $120,000)
Recall that, in transaction (5), Park renovated the building, bringing its original cost to $85,000. She also determined that the useful life of the building was 25 years, with an expected salvage value of $10,000
(23) The accountant also noted that Park needed to record depreciation on the metal detectors
Recall that, in transaction (6), Park purchased $120,000 of metal detectors. She determined that the units would only last for two years, at which time they would have no remaining value
(24) The accountant continued…What about adjusting the software amortization account?
Recall that, in transaction (8), Park paid the $2,100 three-year software license fee on June 30
(25) …What about the prepaid advertising account?
Recall that, in transaction (9), Park paid $8,000 upfront on June 30, 2012 for advertising through June 30, 2013
(26) …What about the notes receivable account?
Recall that, in transaction (10), Park borrowed $5,000 from Relic Spotter at 10% interest on June 30, 2012, with the principal and interest due in a lump sum on June 30, 2013
(27) …What about the unearned revenue account?
Recall that, in transaction (15), the Penn Antiquities Club paid Relic Spotter $1,200 cash upfront on December 1, 2012 for unlimited rentals over the next year
(28) Finally, the accountant noted that Relic Spotter incurred an estimated income tax expense of $630 for 2012 (Park was also confused by this because she did not do her taxes until April)

Recognizing Uncollectible Accounts
Direct write-off method
Recognize expense when account deemed uncollectible
Used for tax reporting, not allowed under GAAP
Allowance methods
Required under GAAP for financial reporting
Recognize Bad Debt Expense for estimated future uncollectible amounts from sales during the period
Create an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (XA) to offset Accounts Receivable on the balance sheet
Net Accounts Receivable = (Gross) Accounts Receivable – Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (XA)
Example:
BOC makes $10 in sales on account to each of three customers: Jordan, Dakota, and Peyton
At end of period, BOC estimates that $10 of sales will not be collected
In the next period, BOC collects from Jordan and Peyton
After 90 days, BOC gives up on collecting from Dakota and writes-off the receivable
Final Totals: $20 of Cash and $20 of Pre-Tax Income
What if Dakota later pays us?
After the write-off, Dakota wins the lottery and pays us $10
Estimating Uncollectible Accounts
Two Allowance Methods
Percentage-of-sales method
Estimates Bad Debt Expense directly
Multiply (credit) sales by an estimated uncollectible percentage to compute Bad Debt Expense
Plug in T-account to solve for the ending balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Example: BOC had credit sales of $75,000 during the quarter
BOC estimates that 2% of credit sales will be uncollectible
Bad Debt Expense = Credit Sales X Estimated Uncollectible Pct.
Bad Debt Expense = 75,000 X 0.02
Bad Debt Expense = 1,500
Aging-of-accounts-receivable method
Estimates ending balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts directly
Multiply balance sheet A/R amounts by estimated uncollectible percentages (based on how long the A/R has been outstanding) to compute ending balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Plug in T-account to solve for Bad Debt Expense
Expamle: BOC has $15,000 of Accounts Receivable at the end of the quarter
BOC groups the A/R by age (i.e., time outstanding)
BOC estimates an uncollectible percentage for each age group and computes a necessary allowance for each age group
The sum of the allowances is the ending balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
A/R and the SCF
Cash flow effects of A/R
Cash collections of A/R are operating cash flows
Bad Debt Expense, Write-offs, and Recoveries are NONCASH transactions
Two methods for Bad Debt Expense and the Indirect Method
Add back Bad Debt Expense (net of write-offs and recoveries)
Add or subtract change in Gross A/R
Add or subtract change in Net A/R (A/R net of noncash amounts)
Collecting cash from Accounts Receivable more quickly
Pledging
Use A/R as collateral for a loan. The firm retains the A/R and the risk of collection
Factoring
Sell A/R to a financial institution at a discount that reflects an interest charge and the risk of uncollectibility
Securitization
Selling A/R to a separate legal entity (called a Variable Interest Entity) created for the exclusive purpose of securitizing receivables. The VIE borrows money from investors and then uses the proceeds to buy the A/R from its parent
Disclosure example
TK Inc. sells coin wrappers to the banking industry
Sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2008 were $149,270
What were write-offs of A/R in 2008?
Write-offs = 220 + 1558 – 1021 = 757
What were cash collections from customers in 2008?
Note that difference between Sales and Collections is 6,662 (149,270 – 142,608)
By how much did a change in the estimated uncollectible percentage affect bad debt expense in 2008?
Compute the percentage of Gross Accounts Receivable that are expected to be uncollectible accounts in prior year
Percent uncollectible = Allowance / (Net AR + Allowance)
Apply this percentage to balance of Gross Accounts Receivable in current year to get expected balance
Expected balance of Allowance = Percent uncollectible * (Net AR + Allowance)
Change in expense due to change in bad debt assumptions is the actual balance in Allowance minus expected balance
Credit Sales and Sales Revenue

Inventory and COGS
New Inventory
Retail firms: New Inventory is cost of purchasing goods
Manufacturing firms: New Inventory is cost of producing goods
Inventory/COGS computation methods
Periodic system
Count Ending Inventory and plug COGS
Perpetual system
Track COGS as sales are made and plug Ending Inventory
Inventory Valuation: Lower-of-Cost-or-Market
Ending Balance of Inventory must be carried at the lower of historical cost or fair market value
Historical Cost is the original cost of purchasing or producing the inventory
Fair Market Value generally is the replacement cost of the inventory
If Historical Cost ≤ FMV, Ending Inventory = Original Cost
No adjusting entry needed
If FMV < Historical Cost, Ending inventory = Replacement Value
Need an adjusting entry to write-down inventory from original to replacement cost
Dr. COGS (+E, -SE)
Cr. Inventory (-A)
Key international difference
Under U.S. GAAP, once inventory is written down to FMV, it cannot be later written back up to original cost if the market value subsequently rises
Under IFRS, inventory can be written up subsequent to a write-down, but only back up to the original cost
FIFO vs. LIFO
Inventory Cost Flow Assumptions
KEY POINT: Inventory cost flows do NOT have to follow physical flow of goods
Physical flow of goods:
Goods in Ending inventory are whatever specific goods that we haven't sold yet
Flow of costs:
Costs in Ending Inventory could (1) match the original cost of the goods, (2) be the most recent costs incurred, (3) be the oldest costs incurred, or (4) be an average of costs over time
Specific identification
Specifically identify cost of each product sold
FIFO (First-In, First-Out)
Oldest inventory costs go in COGS first
=> Ending inventory has newest costs
LIFO (Last-In, First-Out)
Newest inventory costs go in COGS first
=> Ending inventory has oldest costs
Weighted average
Average cost of all inventory goes into COGS and ending inventory
Basic LIFO/FIFO Example
The low LIFO COGS in 2012 is due to dipping into old "LIFO layers" of inventory.
This is called a "LIFO liquidation" and must be disclosed due to its dramatic effect on COGS and Net Income.
LIFO v. FIFO changes the timing of COGS, but over the life of the firm, total COGS are the same
Why does it matter whether firms use FIFO or LIFO?
When inventory costs are rising, COGS under LIFO is higher and Ending Inventory under LIFO is lower as compared to FIFO
KEY: Tax reporting in US allows LIFO
High LIFO COGS => Lower Taxable Income => Lower Taxes Paid!
But, if firms use LIFO for taxes, must use LIFO for financial statements
IFRS does not permit the use of LIFO
US is only major country that still allows LIFO
Inventory Disclosure Example
Comparing LIFO and FIFO firms
LIFO firms must also disclose FIFO inventory costs
We can convert LIFO to FIFO, but we can't convert FIFO to LIFO
LIFO Reserve = FIFO End Inventory – LIFO End Inventory
Δ LIFO Reserve = LIFO COGS – FIFO COGS
FIFO COGS = LIFO COGS – Δ LIFO Reserve
FIFO Net Income = LIFO Net Income + [Δ LIFO Reserve * (1 – tax rate)]
Interest Expense as % of Sales = Interest Expense / Sales
Effective Tax Rate = Income Taxes / Pre-tax Income
Profit Margin Analysis Questions
Possible explanations for improvement in gross margin:
Reducing production costs while maintaining sales price
Did Plainview further automate its production?
Raising sales price while keeping costs constant
Did entry into new markets allow a higher mark-up?
=> Search for confirming or disconfirming evidence of these explanations
=> Ask management to explain the source of the dramatic improvement in product mark-up
Asset Turnover Analysis
For example, dramatic increases in Sales are often accompanied by
Lower Inventory levels
Production can barely keep up with sales
Higher Accounts Receivable levels
Company has to extend credit to riskier customers to fuel sales growth
Although Asset Turnover ratio was steady over the period, looking at the detailed components of the ratio may provide further insight into how Plainview managed its remarkable turn-around

Acquisition Costs for Long-Lived Assets
Capitalize all costs necessary to get an asset ready for its intended use (e.g., purchase price, delivery charges, installation costs, etc.)
For self-constructed assets, also capitalize interest on debt that is incurred to finance the asset's construction
In this case, interest expense on the income statement does not reflect all of the interest costs incurred by the firm
If acquisition costs include multiple classes of assets (e.g. land, building, and machinery), the cost must be allocated into separate asset classes
Example
(1) Bott Inc. builds a new piece of equipment to put grips on golf clubs. Bott spends $4,500 cash on raw materials and $3,000 cash on labor. Bott incurs $500 of interest costs (interest payable) to finance the building of the equipment
Firms can use different methods for taxes and financial statements
Total depreciation expense is the same over the life of the asset, regardless of method used
Depreciation Patterns
Example
Bott management decides that the equipment will have a useful life of six years with a $2,000 salvage value. Bott must recognize one year of depreciation using the straight-line method
(2) Bott management estimates that 3/4 of the time the equipment was used to produce golf club inventory; the rest of the time it was used for the personal clubs of the sales force and top management (which is a perk that Bott provides these employees)
(2) Dr. Work-in-Process (+A) 750
Dr. Depreciation Expense (+E) 250
Cr. Accumulated Depreciation (+XA) 1000
Ongoing Costs for Long-lived Assets
Expense costs when they are related to the maintenance of an asset
Capitalize costs when they:
Increase the useful life of the asset or
Increase the value of the asset
These capitalized costs will add to future depreciation expense
Also, adjust useful life and salvage value assumptions if necessary
Recompute depreciation expense going forward
Use Net Book Value as new historical cost of asset
Example
(3) Bott spends $200 on routine maintenance for the equipment
(3) Dr. Maintenance Expense (+E) 200
Cr. Cash (-A) 200
(Note: this Maintenance Expense will be split between Work-in-Process Inventory [75%] and SG&A Expense [25%])
(4) Bott spends $600 on new attachment to the equipment that will allow it to add grips to the new style of extra-long putter
(4) Dr. Equipment (+A) 600
Cr. Cash (-A) 600
Bott management decides that the new attachment has increased the useful life to ten years (going forward) with salvage value of $600. Bott must recognize one more year of depreciation
Annual Depreciation = (Net Book Value – Salvage Value) / Useful Life
Annual Depreciation = (7600 – 600) / 10
Annual Depreciation = 700
(5) Bott management estimates that 100% of the time the equipment was used to produce golf club inventory (much to the dismay of its employees with extra-long putters)
(5) Dr. Work-in-Process (+A) 700
Cr. Accumulated Depreciation (+XA) 700
Disposal of PP&E
Historical cost of asset is removed from PP&E account and all related depreciation is removed from Accumulated Depreciation
Gain or loss on the sale of PPE is recorded when the proceeds from disposal are more or less than the net book value, respectively
Net book value = historical cost – accumulated depreciation
Dr. Cash (+A) (sale amount)
Dr. Accumulated Depreciation (-XA) (full balance)
Dr. Loss on sale (+E) (plug if Net Book Value > Cash)
Cr. Gain on sale (+R) (plug if Net Book Value < Cash)

Example
Bott is in financial distress due to high employee turnover. Bott decides to subcontract the grip work, so it sells its piece of equipment for $5,500

Cr. Equipment (-A) 8600
Impairment Tests
Long-lived assets must be written down if they fail an impairment test
Step 1: Have circumstances changed that raise the possibility of an impairment?
Step 2: Are the future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset (from use or sale) less than its net book value?
Step 3: Write-down the book value of the asset (and record a loss) equal to the difference between the fair value of the asset and its net book value
Note that discounted cash flows are used to compute fair value in Step 3!
Example
(6) In an alternate reality, Bott keeps the equipment but finds that it has been impaired due to employee sabotage. Bott management estimates that the fair market value of the equipment is now $5,500
(6) Dr. Equipment (+A) 5500
Dr. Accumulated Depreciation (-XA) 1700
Dr. Impairment Loss (+E) 1400 ((8600 – 1700) – 5500)
Cr. Equipment (-A) 8600
International Differences for Long-Lived Assets
Carrying value
US GAAP: requires the lower-of-cost-or-market with depreciation expense recorded each period
IFRS: allows lower-of-cost-or-market method or fair value method. Under fair value method, PP&E is carried at fair value at all times, with any unrealized gains or losses either flowing through the income statement or directly to stockholders' equity
Impairments
U.S. GAAP: Assets written down cannot be written back up in value at a later date
IFRS: Under lower-of-cost-or-market, assets written down can be written back up to the original cost of the asset (less accumulated depreciation). Also, determination of whether an impairment is necessary is initially based on the discounted present value of cash flows
Intangible Assets
In general, US GAAP and IFRS require:
Internally-developed intangibles to be expensed immediately
Purchased intangibles are usually added in an acquisition
Intangible assets and liabilities must be separately recognized if:
The intangible arises from a transferable contract or
The intangible is separable
Non-separable intangibles are included in Goodwill
Intangibles with a definite life must be amortized over that life
Patents, Copyrights, Customer Lists
Intangibles with an indefinite life are not amortized
Brand name, Goodwill
All intangibles are subject to the usual asset impairment tests
Intangibles: Goodwill
When an acquirer purchases a target firm, the target's individual assets and liabilities are first adjusted to reflect their current market values
Then, the acquirer records any separable or transferable intangible assets
Finally, Goodwill equals the excess of the purchase price over the market value of net identifiable assets

What is the historical cost of Lyons' PP&E?
How much new PP&E did the company acquire during 2012?
What is the historical cost of the PP&E sold during 2012?

Marketable Securities
Intercorporate Investments
Investments in equity (stock) or debt (bonds) of another company
Accounting treatment depends on influence and intent
Small investment in equity (less than 20%) or investments in debt
Marketable Securities (A)
Three methods: Trading, Available-for-sale, and Held-to-Maturity (debt only)
Strategic investment in equity (20% to 50% or "significant influence")
Investment in Affiliates (A)
Two methods: Equity method or Fair value accounting
Control investment (greater than 50%)
One method: Full consolidation
Add all assets, liabilities, income of other company, recognize "noncontrolling interest"
Marketable Securities: Equity
Equity investments of less than 20% ownership in another firm are treated based on the "intent" in making investment
Trading Securities
Intent is to profit from short-term fluctuations in market prices (active management)
Common in financial services firms and financial services divisions
Available-for-Sale Securities (AFS)
Intent is to earn returns over the medium-to-long term (invest excess cash until needed for a new project)
Common in non-financial firms
Trading vs. AFS
Balance Sheet
Both methods: Investment carried at fair value at the balance sheet date ("markto- market")
Marking-to-market creates unrealized gains or losses
Income Statement
Trading: Unrealized gains/losses go on the Income Statement
AFS: Unrealized gains/losses go into Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
AOCI is like a Retained Earnings account, except that transactions go directly into AOCI without appearing on the Income Statement
AOCI "stores up" unrealized gains/losses until security is sold, when they are "reversed out" into the income statement
Key disclaimer: Transactions go into AOCI net of taxes, but we are going to ignore taxes for this topic
Example
Purchase of investment
Bott Bank buys $100 of TK stock (which is less than 20% ownership)
– Decides to classify investment as a Trading security
Unrealized loss is part of Net Income for Trading (Bott) and bypasses Net Income for AFS (Meyer)
Sale of investment
After quarter end, Bott Bank sells its TK stock for $101
Journal entry:
Dr. Cash (+A) 101
Cr. Gain on investment (+R, +SE) 4
Cr. Marketable Securities (-A) 97
After quarter end, Meyer Co. sells its TK stock for $101
Journal entry:
Dr. Cash (+A) 101
Cr. AOCI (+SE) 3
Cr. Gain on investment (+R, +SE) 1
Cr. Marketable Securities (-A) 97
Realized gain is based on last balance sheet value (97) for Trading (Bott) and based on original cost (100) for AFS (Meyer)
Summary
Marketable Securities: Debt
Debt investments are can be accounted for as trading, available-forsale (AFS), or "held-to-maturity" securities.
Held-to-Maturity Securities (HTM)
Firm has both the ability and intent to hold the debt investment until it matures.
Do not mark-to-market
Recognize interest revenue each period
SCF Effects of Marketable Securities

Time Value of Money
Time Value of Money
The value of a dollar today is not the same as the value of a dollar in the past or in the future
The time value of money differs because of inflation, interest, risk
These factors combine to determine the "discount rate" or "rate of return"
Whenever we will receive or pay cash in the future, we must adjust the cash flows to the same value (usually, today's value)
Much like you have to adjust foreign currencies to the US dollar (or liters to gallons) to make cross-country comparisons, you have to adjust future dollars or past dollars to today's value to make across-time comparisons
Gasoline Prices
Who paid the highest price for gas?
May 2011, Fort Worth, Texas: $4.15 per gallon
May 2011, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, C$1.04 per liter
May 1980, Fort Worth, Texas: $1.53 per gallon
May 2011, Saskatoon
Convert liters to gallons => 1 gallon = 3.79 liter
C$1.04/liter * 3.79 = C$3.94 / gallon
Convert C$ to US$ => C$1 = $1.05
C$3.94 * 1.05 = $4.14 per gallon
May 1980, Fort Worth
Convert 1980 $ to 2011 $ => $1 in 1980 = $2.72 in 2011
$1.53 * 2.72 = $4.16 per gallon in 2011 $
Compound Interest
Invest $100 in a Certificate of Deposit that earns 8% interest per year
At the end of the first year, you have:
$100 + $8 interest = $108
This is the same as: $100 x (1 + 0.08) = $108
At the end of the second year, you have:
$108 x (1.08) = $116.64
Note that you don’t have: $100 + ($8 x 2) = $116
But you do have: $100 x (1.08) x (1.08) = $116.64
Which is the same as: $100 x (1.08)^2 = $116.64
At the end of the third year, you have:
$116.64 x (1.08) = $125.97 or
$100 x (1.08)^3 = $125.97
Generalizing the Idea
At the end of the nth year, you have:
Future Value in n years (FV) = $100 x (1.08)^n
If the CD paid r% interest instead of 8% interest:
FV = $100 x (1 + r)^n
If your initial investment was $PV instead of $100
FV = PV x (1 + r)^n
Thus, the Present Value (PV) of what you invest today at an interest rate r grows by (1 + r)n to earn a Future Value (FV) in n years from now
Time Value of Money Calculations
Elements
PV = Present value (value before effects of interest or discounting)
FV = Future value (value after effects of interest or discounting)
r = Interest rate, discount rate, or rate of return
n = Number of periods between present value and future value
Future Value (FV) Calculations
FV = PV x (1 + r)^n or
FV = PV x (Table 1 factor for n, r) or
=-FV(r,n,0,PV) in Excel (r of 10% would be 0.10)
If you invested $10,000 in the stock market today, how much money would you have at retirement?
Assume the following:
20 years to retirement
Expected rate of return in stock market is 15% (compounded annually)
Examples
If you invested $10,000 in the stock market today, how much money would you have at retirement?
Assume the following:
20 years to retirement (n)
Expected rate of return (r) in stock market is 15% (compounded annually)
FV = PV x (1 + r)^n
FV = 10,000 x (1.15)20 = $163,665
Or FV = 10,000 X (Table 1 factor for 20, 15%)
FV = 10,000 x 16.3665
FV = $163,665
What if the expected return is only 5%?
Assume the following:
20 years to retirement (n)
Expected rate of return (r) is 5% (compounded annually)
FV = 10,000 x (1.05)^20 or
FV = 10,000 X (Table 1 factor for 20, 5%)
FV = 10,000 x 2.6533
FV = $26,533
What if you plan to retire in 10 years?
Assume the following:
10 years to retirement (n)
Expected rate of return (r) is 15% (compounded annually)
FV = 10,000 x (1.15)^10 or
FV = 10,000 X (Table 1 factor for 10, 15%)
FV = 10,000 x 4.0456
FV = $40,456
How about 30 years? How about 25%? …
What do you notice?
Future value (FV) is positively related to the rate of return (r) and the number of periods (n)
Present Value
What if we know the Future Value, but don't know the Present Value?
FV = PV x (1 + r)^n => PV = FV / (1 + r)^n
How much would you have to invest today in a CD that earns 8% interest/year to have $108 next year?
PV = $108 / (1.08) = $100
How about if you want $125.97 in three years?
PV = $125.97 / (1.08)^3 = $100
How about if you want $100 next year?
PV = $100 / (1.08) = $92.59
The present value of $1 next year is 93 cents at 8%
Present Value (PV) Calculations
PV = FV / (1 + r)n or
PV = FV x (Table 2 factor for n, r) or
=-PV(r,n,0,FV) in Excel (r of 10% would be 0.10)
Examples
How much should you have invested in a savings bond twenty years ago to have $10,000 today?
Assume the following:
Savings bonds have no periodic interest payments (interest is added to the principal and compounded)
Interest on the bond was 15% (compounded annually)
PV = 10,000 / (1.15)^20 or
PV = 10,000 X (Table 2 factor for 20, 15%)
PV = 10,000 x 0.0611
PV = $611
What if the interest rate was only 5%?
Assume the following:
Savings bonds have no periodic interest payments (interest is added to the principal and compounded)
Interest on the bond (r) was 5% (compounded annually)
PV = 10,000 / (1.05)^20 or
PV = 10,000 X (Table 2 factor for 20, 5%)
PV = 10,000 X 0.3769
PV = $3,769
What if you bought the savings bond ten years ago?
Assume the following:
Savings bonds have no periodic interest payments (interest is added to the principal and compounded)
Interest on the bond (r) was 15% (compounded annually)
PV = 10,000 / (1.15)^10 or
PV = 10,000 X (Table 2 factor for 10, 15%)
PV = 10,000 x 0.2472
PV = $2,472
How about 30 years? How about 25%? …
What do you notice?
Present value (PV) is inversely related to the rate of return (r) and the number of periods (n)
Net Present Value and Decision Making
Lay out a timeline of the cash inflows and outflows
Convert the cash flows in each period to the present values
Add up the present values
Net Present Value is the sum of the present values
Often involves a cash outflow in today's dollars and cash inflows in future dollars, which must discounted back to present value.
Annuities
An Annuity is a constant stream of future cash flows
Ordinary Annuity (annuity in arrears):
Payments are at the end of a period
Annuity Due (or in advance):
Payments are at the start of a period
Example: PV of an Ordinary Annuity of $500 for three periods at an interest rate of 8%
PV of $500 one year from now at 8% = 500 x .92593
+ PV of $500 two years from now at 8% = 500 x .85734
+ PV of $500 three years from now at 8% = 500 x .79383
= $500 x 2.57710 = $1,288.55
Present Value of Annuities Calculations
PV = PMT/r x [1 - 1/(1 + r)n] or
PV = PMT x (Table 4 factor for n, r) or
=-PV(r,n,PMT,0) in Excel (r of 10% would be 0.10)
Examples
If this course gets you an extra $5,000 per year in salary until retirement, how much would you be willing to pay for it?
Assume the following:
20 years to retirement
Inflation is expected to be 15% (compounded annually)
PV = 5,000 X (Table 4 factor for 20, 15%)
PV = 5,000 x 6.2593
PV = $31,297
What if the inflation rate was only 5%?
Assume the following:
Extra salary per year (PMT) is $5,000
20 years to retirement (n)
Inflation (r) is expected to be 5% (compounded annually)
PV = 5,000 x (Table 4 factor for 20, 5%)
PV = 5,000 x 12.4622
PV = $62,311
What if you plan to retire in 10 years?
Assume the following:
Extra salary per year (PMT) is $5,000
10 years to retirement (n)
Inflation (r) is 15% (compounded annually)
PV = 5,000 x (Table 4 factor for 10, 15%)
PV = 5,000 x 5.0188
PV = $25,094
How about 30 years? How about 25%? How about $10,000 extra salary…
What do you notice?
Present value (PV) is inversely related to r
PV is positively related to PMT and n
Future Value of Annuities Calculations
FV = PMT x (Table 3 factor for n, r) or
=-FV(r,n,PMT,0) in Excel (r of 10% would be 0.10)
Example:
If this course gets you an extra $5,000 per year in salary until retirement, how much is this worth when you retire?
Assume the following:
20 years to retirement
Inflation is expected to be 15% (compounded annually)
FV = 5,000 X (Table 3 factor for 20, 15%)
FV = 5,000 x 102.4436
FV = $512,218
Recall that investing $10,000 in the stock market with 15% r for 20 years:
FV = 10,000 x 16.3665 = $163,635
Different Compounding Periods
What about semi-annual compounding? (Bonds)
Divide the annual rate (r) by 2 and multiply years (n) by 2
What is PV of $1,000, 5-year, 12% savings bond with…
Annual compounding?
PV = 1,000 X (Table 2 factor for 5, 12%) = $567
Semi-annual compounding?
PV = 1,000 X (Table 2 factor for 10, 6%) = $558
Monthly compounding?
PV = 1,000 X (Table 2 factor for 60, 1%) = $550
Daily compounding?
PV = 1,000 X (Table 2 factor for 1825, 0.033%) = $549
Example: Price of a Bond
How much would you pay to buy a newly issued 3-year bond that pays coupon payments of $250 every six months and $10,000 at maturity. The current market interest rate is 5.0%.
PV calculation to get bond price:
With semi-annual payments, double the number of periods (3 x 2 = 6) and divide the interest rate by 2 (5% / 2 = 2.5%)
Present value of payment at maturity
PV = ?, FV = 10,000, r = 0.025, n = 6, PMT = 0 (use Excel, calculator, or PV table to solve)
PV = $8,623
Present value of semi-annual payment
PV = ?, FV = 0, r = 0.025, n = 6, PMT = 250
PV = $1,377
Price = $10,000 (8,623 + 1,377)
Long-Term Debt and Bonds
Long-term Liabilities
Current Liabilities (due within less than one year)
Initially booked at nominal value (not present value)
Long-term Liabilities (due in periods beyond one year)
Initially booked at present value of future cash payments
After initial recognition, some liabilities can be marked to fair value, while most are recorded at amortized cost
As a result, liabilities can be a mix of fair value and amortized cost
Common Types of Debt
Bank loan
Borrow principal; make periodic interest payments; repay principal at end of loan
Mortgage
Borrow principal; make periodic interest and principal payments over the loan period
Corporate bonds
Company promises to pay periodic cash flows ("coupons"), plus a lump sum ("principal") at maturity.
Investors offer the company the present value of coupons and principal
Investors can then trade the bonds freely until maturity.
"Zero-coupon": company only pays lump sum at maturity
Accounting for a Bank Loan

Bonds Payable
Coupon bonds require semi-annual coupon payments plus payment of face value at maturity
Elements and Terminology
Price or proceeds (PV)
Face value or par value (FV)
Market interest rate or effective rate or yield-to-maturity (r)
Coupon rate (stated in bond agreement)
Coupon payment (PMT) = face value * coupon rate
Number of periods (n)
Because bonds are semi-annual, double the number of periods and divide rates by 2
Bond Price
Price = Present value of FV + Present Value of PMT
Accounting for a Bond
On 1/1/2010, KP Inc. issues a 3-year, 5% coupon, $10,000 face value bond. Investors price the bond using an effective (market) interest rate of 5.0%. KP receives proceeds from the bond of $10,000.
PV calculation to get bond price:
Double the number of periods and divide the interest rate by 2!
Present value of face value
PV = ?, FV = 10,000, r = 0.025, n = 6, PMT = 0 (use Excel, calculator, or PV table to solve)
PV = $8,623
Present value of payment
PV = ?, FV = 0, r = 0.025, n = 6, PMT = 250 (10,000 x 0.025)
Payment at maturity

Discount and Premium Bonds
The KP bond was assumed to be "issued at par" with coupon rate = effective (market) rate
But, companies can issue bonds with coupon payments of any amount, regardless of the market rate.
When the coupon rate is below the market rate, the bond is referred to as a "discount bond."
Price is below face value; investors pay less for bond because coupon rate is less than current market rate
When the coupon rate is above the market rate, the bond is referred to as a "premium bond."
Price is above face value; investors pay more for bond because coupon rate is greater than current market rate
Effective Interest Method
Interest Expense only equals the coupon payment for bonds issued at par
Interest expense must be based on the "effective interest rate"
Effective interest rate is the market rate in effect at the time of issuance
The effective rate is not changed over the life of the bond, even when market interest rates change
Interest Expense journal entry
Dr. Interest Expense (+E) <Bonds Pay Bal x Effective Int Rate>
Dr. or Cr. Bonds Payable <Plug>
Cr. Cash (-A) <Face Value x Coupon Rate>
If Interest Expense does not equal Cash, there will be a Dr or Cr to Bonds Payable to balance the entry

Accounting for a Discount Bond and the SCF
For bonds issued at a discount, part of the Interest Expense will be noncash each period
The noncash amount is equal to the plug to Bonds Payable
6/30/10 Dr. Interest Expense (+E) 292 (9729 x 0.03)
Cr. Bonds Payable (+L) 42 (noncash interest)
Cr. Cash (-A) 250 (10,000 x 0.025)
The noncash amount must be added back in the Operating section of the SCF under the indirect method
This line item is often called "Amortization of Bond Discount"
Accounting for a Premium Bond
On 1/1/2010, KP Inc. issues a 3-year, 5% coupon, $10,000 face value bond. Investors price the bond using an effective (market) interest rate of 4.0%. KP receives proceeds from the bond of $10,280.
PV calculation to get bond price:

Retirement Before Maturity
Firms sometimes "retire" bonds prior to maturity if they have excess cash or as part of refinancing activities
The firm typically must buy the bonds back from investors at current market prices.
The price the firm pays to buy back the bonds will typically be different from the book value of the bonds.
A gain or loss is recorded on income statement for the difference between the book value and the price of the bonds
This gain or loss is backed out of the Operating section of the SCF under the indirect method because it is a financing activity
Loss
On 7/1/2011, KP Inc. decides to buy back its a 3-year, 5% coupon, $10,000 face value bond, which was issued at an effective interest rate of 6%. The market interest rate has dropped to 4%, so KP must pay $10,144 to retire the bond.

Fair Value Option
Under both US GAAP and IFRS, companies have the option to measure long-term debt at fair (market) value rather than at amortized cost using historical market interest rates.
Under amortized cost, the book value of long-term debt on the balance sheet can deviate substantially from the current fair market value of the debt.
Under the fair value option, companies must adjust book value of long-term debt each period to reflect the current market value.
Increase in market value:
Dr. Unrealized loss (+E) xxx
Cr. Bonds Payable (+L) xxx
Decrease in market value:
Dr. Bonds Payable (-L) xxx
Cr. Unrealized gain (+R) xxx
Leases
A lease is a rental agreement
One party (the lessor) transfers to another party (the lessee) the right to use an asset for a stated period of time in return for a stated series of payments
Commonly leased assets
Airplanes, buildings, equipment, vehicles
Leases can be of any duration
Short-term leases: Allow use of an asset that would be inefficient to purchase
Use of rental car for one week under a contract that can be cancelled at any time
Long-term leases: Similar to a financing arrangement to purchase a long-lived asset
Use of a car for 5 years under a noncancellable contract
Capital Lease vs. Operating Lease
Accounting rules require that certain long-term leases be treated as if the company bought the asset with debt financing
Capital leases
Record a Lease Asset and Lease Liability on the Balance Sheet
Record Depreciation Expense and Interest Expense on the Income Statement
Firms must use capital lease accounting if one of the following applies:
Ownership is transferred at end of lease
Lease period covers more than 75% of asset's life
A "bargain purchase" option exists (right to buy asset at lease end for less than market value)
Present value of contractual future lease payments is at least 90% of the current market value of the asset
Tax rules are different and are irrelevant for the choice of capital vs. operating lease accounting for financial reporting
But, other long-term leases can still be treated as rentals
Operating leases
"Off-balance sheet" activity: No asset or liability on the balance sheet
Record Rent Expense on the Income Statement
Example
Operating Lease
On January 1, 2010, Ople Inc. signs a 3-year lease on a supercomputer, which is delivered that day. The lease requires payments of $19,709 at the end of each year.
There is no bargain purchase option or ownership transfer at the end of the lease.
Ople's managers estimate that the lease term is 60% of the asset's life.
Ople’s managers compute the present value of the lease payments as $44,264 using a 16% rate. This PV is 88.5% of the current market value of $50,000.
PV = ?, n = 3, r = 0.16, PMT = 19,709 => Excel: =-PV(0.16,3,19709) = 44,264
Journal entry:
1/1/10 No entry
On December 31, 2010, Ople makes its lease payment of $19,709.
On January 1, 2010, Caple Inc. signs a 3-year lease on a supercomputer, which is delivered that day. The lease requires payments of $19,709 at the end of each year.
There is no bargain purchase option or ownership transfer at the end of the lease.
Caple's managers estimate that the lease term is 60% of the asset's life.
Caple's managers compute the present value of the lease payments as $45,000 using a 15% rate. This PV is 90% of the current market value of $50,000.
PV = ?, n = 3, r = 0.15, PMT = 19,709 => Excel: =PV(0.15,3,19709) = 45,000
Under capital lease treatment, Caple will do the following subsequent accounting
Lease Asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis for three years with no salvage value
Treated just like an Long-Lived Asset
Lease Liability is accounted for using the effective interest method, with part of the lease payment considered Interest Expense and part considered payment of principal (i.e., reduction in Lease Liability)
The interest expense will be equal to the beginning balance in Lease Liability times 15% (the effective interest rate)
Treated just like a Mortgage Payable
On December 31, 2010, Caple makes its lease payment of $19,709. Caple also must recognize depreciation on the supercomputer.

Summary for Capital Lease
Capital vs. Operating Lease
Capital leases have higher expenses in early years, lower expenses in later years
Total expense over lease term is the same
Capital leases have higher Assets and Liabilities than Operating leases, which are "off-balance sheet"
SCF and Capital vs. Operating Lease
Capital leases always have higher Cash From Operations
Operating leases
Rent Expense is an Operating Cash Flow
Capital leases
Interest Expense is an Operating Cash Flow
Reduction in the Lease Liabilities in a Financing Cash Flow
Depreciation Expense is a non-cash expense
Lease Accounting Controversy
This accounting for leases is controversial because operating lease accounting allows firms to keep substantial financial obligations off their balance sheet, potentially distorting the firm's leverage
The FASB and IASB are both currently considering proposals to eliminate operating lease accounting
Converting Operating Leases to Capital Leases
Adjust Balance Sheet
Calculate the PV of minimum future operating lease payments disclosed in footnotes
Capitalize these leases by adding the PV to Long-term Assets and to Long-term Debt
Or, as a quick shortcut, multiply Rent Expense by 8 to estimate the asset/liability
Adjust Income Statement
Determine amortization expense and interest expense on newly capitalized leases and deduct from net income
Add back rent expense on operating lease to net income
Adjust Statement of Cash Flows
Determine the principal portion of the lease payment (i.e. lease payment – interest expense)
Add the principal portion to CFO (so only interest portion is still included) and subtract principal portion from CFF (Statement of cash flows done)
Now, recompute all of your favorite ratios so you can compare firms without their ratios being distorted by different accounting treatments of leases
Deferred Taxes
Income Taxes: Overview and Terminology
Tax Reporting vs. Financial Reporting
Example
EBITDA in this example is Earnings before depreciation, municipal bond interest revenue, and taxes
Permanent Differences
Revenues that are never included in taxable income and expenses that are never deductible for tax purposes
Examples: Interest on tax-exempt municipal bonds, tax penalties and tax credits, state and foreign taxes
Do not reverse over time
Cause the Effective Tax Rate to not equal the Statutory Tax Rate
Temporary Differences
Revenues or expenses recognized in a different period for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes
Examples: book vs. tax depreciation, bad debt expense, unearned revenue
Reverse over time
Stored up in Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
Pre-tax Income vs. Taxable Income
Pre-Tax Income: Earnings before taxes under GAAP
Taxable Income: Earnings before taxes under tax rules
Differences between pre-tax income and taxable income arise from permanent and temporary differences
Income Tax Payable
Statutory rate: Tax rate set by the government
Income Tax Payable: Taxes owed to the government
Taxable income x statutory rate
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income
Used to compute Income Tax Expense for financial reporting purposes
Pre-tax income adjusted for permanent tax differences
Income Tax Expense
Number reported on the income statement
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income x Statutory rate
Differs from Income Tax Payable due to Temporary Differences
Income Tax Expense vs. Income Tax Payable
Temporary Differences reverse over time!
Effective Tax Rate
Effective Tax Rate =
Income Tax Expense / Pre-Tax Income
Does not equal 35% (Statutory Rate) because of Permanent Differences
Does not reverse
Tax Expense Calculation: Summary
Deferred Tax Liabilities
Temporary Differences
Differences between Income Tax Expense on the financial statements and Income Tax Payable to the government that will reverse over time
Income Tax Expense =
Adjusted Pre-tax income x statutory tax rate
Adjusted Pre-tax income based on GAAP rules and excludes permanent differences
For convenience, I will say Pre-Tax Income instead of Adjusted Pre-Tax Income
Expense on income statement
Income Tax Payable =
Taxable income x statutory tax rate
Taxable income based on tax code rules
Paid to the government
Temporary Differences are stored in Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
We will use 35% as the statutory tax rate in all calculations unless otherwise noted
Deferred Tax Liabilities
Arise from temporary differences where, initially, tax rules require bigger expenses or smaller revenues than GAAP
Pre-tax income > Taxable income
Income tax expense > Income tax payable
In the future, GAAP will require bigger expenses or smaller revenues than tax rules
Pre-tax income < Taxable income
Income tax expense < Income tax payable
The Deferred Tax Liability represents the obligation to make higher tax payments in the future
Example
Brey Co. buys a $120,000 machine on 1/1/2010. For book purposes, it estimates that the machine will have a 3-year life with no salvage value. For tax purposes, the MACRS schedule dictates a depreciation schedule of $80,000, $27,000, and $13,000 in the three years.

Temporary difference
Timing of depreciation expense and tax expense is shifted across time
But totals are the same between books and taxes
Deferred Tax Assets and Tax Rate Changes
Deferred Tax Assets
Arise from temporary differences where, initially, tax rules require smaller expenses or bigger revenues than GAAP
Pre-tax income < Taxable income
Income tax expense < Income tax payable
In the future, GAAP will require smaller expenses or bigger revenues than tax rules
Pre-tax income > Taxable income
Income tax expense > Income tax payable
The Deferred Tax Asset represents the benefit of tax savings in the future
Example
Brey Co. recognizes $80,000 of bad debt expense on 2010 sales.
There are no write-offs of those sales in 2010. In 2011, Brey wrote-off $30,000 of accounts. In 2012, Brey wrote off $50,000 of accounts.

But totals are the same between books and taxes
Changes in Future Tax Rates
Deferred tax assets and liabilities must be based on expected future tax rates
Generally, assume that current tax rate will continue into the future
If the government changes the statutory tax rate, the balances in DTA and DTL must be adjusted to reflect the new rate, with the adjustment running through Income Tax Expense
Tax rate increase
DTAs increase -> Dr. Deferred Tax Asset (+A), Cr. Income Tax Expense (-E)
DTLs increase -> Dr. Income Tax Expense (+E), Cr. Deferred Tax Liability (+L)
Tax rate decrease
DTAs decrease -> Dr. Income Tax Expense (+E), Cr. Deferred Tax Asset (-A)
DTLs decrease -> Dr. Deferred Tax Liability (-L), Cr. Income Tax Expense (-E)
Example
Deferred Tax Liabilities and Change in Tax Rates
At the end of 2011, the government increases the tax rate to 40%
Balance in DTL is $9,450 (under 35% rate)
Pre-tax Difference = $9,450 / 0.35 = $27,000
Note: this is the difference in Accumulated Depreciation (107,000 – 80,000)
DTL at new rate = $27,000 x 0.40 = $10,800
Required increase in DTL = $10,800 - $9,450 = $1,350
Dr. Income Tax Expense (+E) 1,350
Cr. Deferred Tax Liability (+L) 1,350
Deferred Tax Assets and Change in Tax Rates
At the end of 2011, the government increases the tax rate to 40%
Balance in DTA is $17,500 (under 35% rate)
Pre-tax Difference = $17,500 / 0.35 = $50,000
DTA at new rate = $50,000 x 0.40 = $20,000
Required increase in DTA = $20,000 - $17,500 = $2,500
Dr. Deferred Tax Asset (+A) 2,500
Cr. Income Tax Expense (-E) 2,500
Valuation Allowances and NOLs
Valuation Allowance
Deferred Tax Assets represent future tax savings; i.e. a reduction in future cash outflows
But, companies can only realize tax savings if they are profitable
DTA reduces taxes paid, but will not produce a refund if the company does not have to pay taxes
Companies do not have to pay taxes when they have negative taxable income
Must have positive taxable income and positive income tax payable
Companies can only report a Deferred Tax Asset if it is "more likely than not" the firm will be profitable enough in the future to take advantage of the tax savings
If it is not "more likely than not", companies must reduce the DTA using a Valuation Allowance (XA)
Works just like Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Net Operating Losses (NOLs)
A net operating loss occurs in a year when taxable income is negative
Federal tax law permits taxpayers to use an NOL to offset the profits of prior and future years
First, carry the NOL back 2 years and receive refunds for income taxes that have already been paid in those years
Any loss remaining after the 2-year carryback can be carried forward up to 20 years to offset future taxable income
Create a Deferred Tax Asset for the amount of tax savings due to NOL Carryforwards
Example
NOLs
In 2011, Noll International Inc. experienced an $80,000 net operating loss (i.e. negative taxable income) in its US subsidiary, and a $150,000 net operating loss in its Liechtenstein subsidiary
Noll did not pay taxes in 2009-2010 in either jurisdiction, so it cannot carry the loss back to get a refund
Noll expects it is "more likely than not" to be able to use NOL carryforwards in 2014 in both countries
US tax rate is expected to be 35%.
The US DTA is $80,000 x .35 = $28,000
Liechtenstein tax rate is expected to be 15%. The LI DTA is $150,000 x .15 = $22,500
Journal entry:
Dr. Deferred Tax Asset (+A) 50,500
Cr. Income Tax Expense (-E) 50,500
NOL Carryforwards and Valuation Allowance
In June 2012, Noll is preparing its quarterly reports and has serious doubts about the future profitability of its Liechtenstein subsidiary
Noll decides that it is not "more likely than not" to be able to use NOL carryforwards in Liechtenstein before they expire
Recall, the LI DTA is $150,000 x .15 = $22,500
Journal entry:
Dr. Income Tax Expense (+E) 22,500
Cr. Valuation Allowance (+XA) 22,500
Disclosure presentation
Deferred Tax Assets
DTA: NOL Carryforwards 50,500
Less Valuation Allowance (22,500)
Net Deferred Tax Assets 28,000
In December 2012, Noll is preparing its annual report and is now very optimistic about the future profitability of its Liechtenstein subsidiary
Noll decides that it is "more likely than not" to be able to use NOL carryforwards in Liechtenstein by 2014
Recall, the LI DTA is $150,000 x .15 = $22,500
Journal entry:
Dr. Valuation Allowance (-XA) 22,500
Cr. Income Tax Expense (-E) 22,500
Note that this entry will increase Net Income by $22,500

No voting rights, but pay a fixed dividend that must be paid before common dividends
May be callable, convertible, or redeemable
Common Stock
Voting rights, but residual claimant to assets
Par Value

Share Repurchases and Treasury Stock
Companies sometimes repurchase their own shares
Repurchased shares are carried in the Treasury Stock (XSE) account
Treasury stock does not have voting rights or dividend rights
Treasury stock can be reissued by the firm
Reissued treasury stock is removed from the Treasury Stock account at the original price paid to repurchase
APIC or Retained Earnings are used to balance the journal entry if reissue price differs from repurchase price
Companies cannot book gains or losses in trading in their own stock!

Dividends, Splits, and AOCI
Retained Earnings
Retained Earnings: Cumulative income that has not been paid out as dividends
Net income: Positive net income increases retained earnings; negative net income decreases retained earnings
Dividends: Decrease retained earnings since this is a return of equity to shareholders
Cash Dividends
Declaration date
Company declares a dividend will be paid to all investors that hold shares as of the ”date of record“ (e.g., 10 days after the declaration date)
Date of record
Date on which investors must hold shares to be entitled to receive the dividend
An investor that sells shares after the record date is still entitled to receive the dividend
Payment date
Date on which the firm pays the dividend
Note: Firms are not required to pay dividends. However, once a firm has declared a dividend, the firm is legally obligated to pay it to its shareholders as of the record date
Create a liability called Dividends Payable
Example
On 6/6/2012, Stack Inc. declares a $0.50 dividend per share to both common and preferred shareholders of record on 6/16/2012. The dividend will be paid on 6/26/2012.

Stock Dividends and Splits
Stock dividend
Each common shareholder is given a dividend in the form of new common shares
Each stockholder's percentage ownership of the company will be identical to what it was before the stock dividend
No cash flow involved
If dividend less than 25%: reduce Retained Earnings and increase Common Stock and APIC using current market price of the shares
If dividend greater than 25%: reduce Retained Earnings and increase Common Stock using the par value of the shares
Example
On 7/7/2012, Stack Inc. declared a 10% common stock dividend; i.e., every shareholder received new shares equal to 10% of current shares held. The price of Stack stock on 7/7/12 was $11 per share.
Shares issued: 11,000; Shares outstanding: 10,000
Dividend will be 1,000 shares (10,000 x .10)
Journal entry
7/7/12 Dr. Retained Earnings (-SE) 11,000 (1,000 x 11)

Shares issued: 12,000
Shares outstanding: 11,000
Stock spilt
Each common share is replaced with a given number of new common shares
No balance sheet, income statement, or cash flow effect
Adjust number of shares authorized, issued, and outstanding, as well as the par value
Example
On 8/8/2012, Stack Inc. announces a 2-for-1 common stock split. Shares issued: 12,000; Shares outstanding: 11,000; Par value: $1
Journal entry
8/8/12 No entry
Shares issued: 24,000
Shares outstanding: 22,000
Par value: $0.50 per share
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Debits ("expenses", "losses") and Credits ("revenues", "gains") that "bypass" the income statement and go directly into Shareholders' Equity
Rationale: Companies do not like volatile earnings caused by market movements. Some accounting methods require marking assets/liabilities to fair value
Unrealized gains and losses would cause volatility in Net Income
Compromise: GAAP and IFRS require companies to mark-to-market, but allow unrealized gains/losses to bypass the income statement
But, Balance Sheet must balance, so unrealized gains/losses go into Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, instead of through Net Income into Retained Earnings
Items go into AOCI on an after-tax basis
Tax effect of item goes into a Deferred Tax account
AOCI Items
Unrealized Gains/Losses on Marketable Securities
Under Available for Sale treatment, unrealized gains and losses from marking Marketable Securities to fair value are recorded in AOCI
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments
Converting the assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries from the foreign currency to the domestic currency under the "Current Method" leads to unrealized gains and losses that go to AOCI
Pensions
The difference between the actual gains/losses on pension assets and the expected gains/losses on those assets goes to AOCI
Derivatives
For "Cash Flow Hedges", unrealized gains and losses from marking Derivatives to fair value are recorded in AOCI
Statement of Shareholders' Equity
Report the changes in all of the shareholders' equity accounts
Presents beginning and ending balances in each account and shows all increases and decreases during the year
Common Stock, APIC, Treasury Stock
Issuances and repurchases of stock, stock-based compensation
Retained Earnings
Net income, Dividends, and some effects of stock-based compensation
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
All items that affect AOCI
Noncontrolling Interest
For consolidated subsidiaries with less than 100% ownership by company, noncontrolling interest shows the claims on net assets by outside owners in the subsidiaries
Stock-based Compensation
Restricted Stock Plans
Companies pay employees with shares of stock as compensation
Stock Option Plans
Companies grant employees the right to purchase a number of shares at a fixed price (called the "exercise" or "strike" price) over a specified period of time (often 10 years) as compensation
Most of the time, the exercise price is set equal to the stock price at the time the options are granted (called an "at-the-money" option)
Generally some vesting period (normally 1-3 years) must pass before the employee is allowed to sell the stock or exercise the option
The value of the restricted stock or options granted is treated as an expense and recognized over the vesting period
Example
Restricted Stock Grant
On 1/1/2013, Stack Inc. grants 1,000 shares of stock to its CEO as compensation. The stock price is $20 per share on the grant date. The stock vests after two years. The par value is $0.50.
Journal entry
1/1/13 Dr. Deferred comp. expense (+XSE) 20,000 (1000 x 20)
Cr. Common Stock (+SE) 500 (1000 x .50)
Cr. Add'l Paid in Capital (+SE) 19,500 (Plug)
On 1/1/2013, Stack Inc. grants 100 options to its CFO with an exercise price of $20 as compensation. The options vest after two years and expire after 10 years. The stock price is $20 on the grant date. The fair value of the option is $18 per share at the grant date.
Fair value of stock option grant is $1,800 (100 x $18). This will be amortized over the vesting period.

Stock Option Exercise
On 6/6/2018, the CFO exercises the 100 options to buy the stock at the $20 exercise price. The market price of Stack's stock is $30 on that day. Stack re-issues treasury stock to provide the shares.
The treasury stock was acquired at $11 per share
Journal entry
6/6/2018 Dr. Cash (+A) 2,000 (100 x 20)
Cr. Treasury Stock (-XSE) 1,100 (100 x 11)
Cr. Add’l Paid-in-Capital (+SE) 900 (Plug)
Note: The market price is not relevant for this journal entry, but Stack will get a tax deduction equal to ($30 - $20) x 100 shares = $1,000
These tax savings are considered a Cash Flow from Financing
This amount is taxable income for the CFO
Earnings Per Share
Basic
EPS provides a measure of how much earnings was generated for each share of common stock held by outsiders
Reported by the company at earnings announcement
Forecasted by security analysts
Compared to price per share to get "Price-Earnings" (P/E) Ratio
Basic EPS = (Net Income – Preferred Dividends) / Weighted average number of common shares outstanding
Example
For the year ended 12/31/2013, Stack reported Net Income of $25,000. On 1/1/2013, Stack had 22,000 common shares outstanding and 10,000 preferred shares outstanding. Stack issued 4,000 common shares on 6/30/2013. Stack paid $5,000 of preferred dividends and $9,000 of common dividends during 2013
Companies with "complex" capital structures also report Diluted EPS
Complex capital structures includes securities that can be converted into stock at the investor's discretion
Convertible debt, stock options and warrants
Some of the value of these convertible securities is tied to the value of common
stock; thus, investors holding these securities are "indirect" stockholders
Diluted EPS provides EPS assuming everything that could convert to a share of stock actually did so
Diluted EPS = (Net Income – Preferred Dividends + Adj. for convertibles) / (Wtd avg num of common shares outstanding + Adj. for convertibles)
Diluted EPS
Convertible Debt
Convertible debt can be exchanged for common stock
Diluted EPS is computed under the assumption that the convertible debt had been exchanged for common stock at the start of the period
This is called the "if converted" method
Numerator of EPS: Net Income is increased by the after-tax interest expense on the convertible bond
If debt had converted, there would have been no Interest Expense, so it is added back to Net Income
Denominator of EPS: Number of shares is increased as if the debt was converted to common shares at the beginning of the period
Example
For fiscal year 2013, Stack’s Net Income of $25,000 included $500 of Interest Expense on convertible debt. The debt is convertible into 2000 shares of common stock. The statutory tax rate is 35%.
During fiscal year 2013, Stack had 1,000 outstanding in-the-money options with an average exercise price of $10. The average stock price during the year was $20.
Diluted EPS must always be less than or equal to Basic EPS
Diluted EPS is set equal to Basic EPS in years when a firm has a loss from continuing operations to common stockholders
If Diluted EPS would be greater than Basic EPS after a convertible is added to the calculation, the convertible is considered "antidilutive" and is excluded from computation of Diluted EPS
Options are considered "antidilutive" when the exercise price is greater than the market price (i.e., when the option is "out of the money").

(6) Note 6 — Stock-Based Compensation
Our stock-based compensation program is designed to attract and retain employees while also aligning employees’ interests with the interests of our shareholders. Stock options and restricted stock units (RSU) are granted to employees under the shareholder-approved Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).
We account for our employee stock options under the fair value method using a Black-Scholes valuation model. All stock option grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and generally have a 10-year term. The fair value of stock option grants is amortized to expense over the vesting period, generally three years.
RSU expense is based on the fair value of PupCo stock on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, generally three years. Each RSU is settled in a share of our stock after the vesting period.

Note 11 — Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is net income available for common shareholders divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the effect that would occur if in-the-money employee stock options were exercised and RSUs and preferred shares were converted into common shares. Options to purchase 24.4 million shares in 2012 and 39.0 million shares in 2011 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because these options were out-of-the-money.
Why Diluted EPS < Basic EPS

But note than many more options are out-of-the-money!
