10. 5-10 INVESTOR INSIGHT Improve Stock Appeal Investors are often eager to invest in a company that has a hot new product. However, when snowboard maker Morrow Snowboards, Inc. issued shares of stock to the public for the first time, some investors expressed reluctance to invest in Morrow because of a number of accounting control problems. To reduce investor concerns, Morrow implemented a perpetual inventory system to improve its control over inventory. In addition, it stated that it would perform a physical inventory count every quarter until it felt that its perpetual inventory system was reliable. LO 1 Morrow Snowboards, Inc.

30. 5-30 ACCOUNTING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION The Point of No Returns? In most industries, sales returns are relatively minor. But returns of consumer electronics can really take a bite out of profits. Recently, the marketing executives at Costco Wholesale Corp. faced a difficult decision. Costco has always prided itself on its generous return policy. Most goods have had an unlimited grace period for returns. A new policy will require that certain electronics must be returned within 90 days of their purchase. The reason? The cost of returned products such as high-definition TVs, computers, and iPods cut an estimated 8¢ per share off Costco’s earnings per share, which was $2.30.

44. 5-44 ETHICS INSIGHT Disclosing More Details After Enron, increased investor criticism and regulator scrutiny forced many companies to improve the clarity of their financial disclosures. For example, IBM began providing more detail regarding its “Other gains and losses.” It had previously included these items in its selling, general, and administrative expenses, with little disclosure. For example, previously if IBM sold off one of its buildings at a gain, it included this gain in the selling, general, and administrative expense line item, thus reducing that expense. This made it appear that the company had done a better job of controlling operating expenses than it actually had. As another example, when eBay recently sold the remainder of its investment in Skype to Microsoft, it reported a gain in “Other revenues and gains” of $1.7 billion. Since eBay’s total income from operations was $2.4 billion, it was very important that the gain from the Skype sale not be buried in operating income. IBM LO 4

45. 5-45 Income Statement Presentation Comprehensive income statement  Comprehensive income statement presents items that are not included in the determination of net income.  Items excluded from net income but included in comprehensive income are either reported in a combined statement of net income and comprehensive income, or in a separate comprehensive income statement. ILLUSTRATION 5-12

49. 5-49 Evaluating Profitability is expressed as a percentage by dividing the amount of gross profit by net sales. Gross Profit Rate A decline in the gross profit rate might have several causes. ► Selling products with a lower “markup.” ► Increased competition may result in a lower selling price. ► Company forced to pay higher prices to its suppliers without being able to pass these costs on to its customers. LO 6

50. 5-50 Evaluating Profitability Illustration 5-16 Why does REI’s gross profit rate differ so much from that of Dick’s Sporting Goods and the industry average? Gross Profit Rate LO 6

51. 5-51 Evaluating Profitability Measures net income as a percentage of sales, or the amount of net income on each dollar of sales. Profit Margin Ratio How do the gross profit rate and profit margin ratio differ? ► Gross profit rate - measures the margin by which selling price exceeds cost of goods sold. ► Profit margin ratio - measures the extent by which selling price covers all expenses (including cost of goods sold). LO 6

52. 5-52 Evaluating Profitability Illustration 5-18 How does REI compare to its competitors? Its profit margin was lower than Dick’s in 2010 and was less than the industry average. Thus, its profit margin does not suggest exceptional profitability. Profit Margin Ratio LO 6

53. 5-53 Evaluating Profitability Earnings have high quality if they provide a full and transparent depiction of how a company performed. ► A measure significantly less than 1 suggests that a company may be using more aggressive accounting techniques in order to accelerate income recognition. ► A measure significantly greater than 1 suggests that a company is using conservative accounting techniques which cause it to delay the recognition of income. LO 6

54. 5-54 Appendix 5A  Record purchases in Purchases account.  Record purchase returns and allowances, Purchase discounts, and Freight costs in separate accounts.  Record revenues and adjustments when they occur, but do not adjust the inventory account.  Physical inventory count determines: ► Cost of merchandise on hand and ► Cost of merchandise sold during the period.

63. 5-63 Appendix 5A Periodic Inventory System Comparison of Entries LO 7

64. 5-64 Key Points  Under GAAP, companies generally classify income statement items by function. Classification by function leads to descriptions like administration, distribution, and manufacturing. Under IFRS, companies must classify expenses by either nature or function. Classification by nature leads to descriptions such as the following: salaries, depreciation expense, and utilities expense. If a company uses the functional-expense method on the income statement, disclosure by nature is required in the notes to the financial statements. Compare the procedures for the merchandising under GAAP and IFRS.

65. 5-65 Key Points  Presentation of the income statement under GAAP follows either a single-step or multiple-step format. IFRS does not mention a single-step or multiple-step approach.  Under IFRS, revaluation of land, buildings, and intangible assets is permitted. The initial gains and losses resulting from this revaluation are reported as adjustments to equity, often referred to as other comprehensive income Compare the procedures for the merchandising under GAAP and IFRS.

66. 5-66 Key Points  Similar to GAAP, comprehensive income under IFRS includes unrealized gains and losses (such as those on certain types of investment securities) that are not included in the calculation of net income.  IFRS requires that two years of income statement information be presented, whereas GAAP requires three years. Compare the procedures for the merchandising under GAAP and IFRS.

67. 5-67 Looking to the Future The IASB and FASB are working on a project that would rework the structure of financial statements. A main goal of this new approach is to provide information that better represents how businesses are run. This approach draws attention away from just one number—net income. It will adopt major groupings similar to those currently used by the statement of cash flows (operating, investing, and financing), so that numbers can be more readily traced across statements. For example, the amount of income that is generated by operations would be traceable to the assets and liabilities used to generate the income. Finally, this approach would also provide detail, beyond that currently seen in most statements (either GAAP or IFRS), by requiring that line items be presented both by function and by nature. Compare the procedures for the merchandising under GAAP and IFRS.

68. 5-68 Which of the following would not be a line item of a company reporting costs by nature? a)Depreciation expense. b)Salaries expense. c)Interest expense. d)Manufacturing expense. IFRS Practice Compare the procedures for the merchandising under GAAP and IFRS.

69. 5-69 Which of the following would not be a line item of a company reporting costs by function? a)Administration. b)Manufacturing. c)Utilities expense. d)Distribution. IFRS Practice Compare the procedures for the merchandising under GAAP and IFRS.

70. 5-70 1. 1.Companies use either a perpetual or a periodic inventory system to account for inventory. 2. 2.Under a perpetual system, purchases and purchase adjustments are recorded in the inventory account. The inventory account is updated for sales and sales adjustments. Thus, records always show inventory that should be on hand. 3. 3.Under a periodic system, purchases and purchase adjustments are recorded in separate accounts. The inventory account also is not updated for sales and sales adjustments. Thus, a physical inventory is taken to determine the cost of inventory on hand and sold during the period. TakeawaysTakeaways

71. 5-71 4. 4.Make sure you are able to record purchases, sales, and adjustments to them (returns & allowances, discounts, freight) under both periodic and perpetual systems. 5. 5.Income statement can be presented in a single-step or a multiple-step format. A single-step subtracts total expenses from total revenues. A multiple-step presentation involves multiple classifications and multiple intermediary items. 6. 6.In addition to components of income, gross profit and gross margin ratios can help in evaluating profitability of a company. TakeawaysTakeaways

72. 5-72 7. 7.As stated before, the standard setting bodies now emphasize the quality of earnings (accuracy and transparency of information). The ratio of operating cash flows to net income is one measure of earnings quality. 8. 8.The inventory system and definition under IFRS are essentially the same as those under US GAAP. 9. 9.Under US GAAP, companies generally classify income statement items by function, e.g., administration and manufacturing. Under IFRS, companies must classify expenses by either function or nature, e.g., salaries and depreciation expense. TakeawaysTakeaways
