MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING (VOLUME I) - Solutions Manual CHAPTER UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS I Questions A financial statement is a means of communicating information about an enterprise in financial (i.e., peso) terms It represents information that the accountant believes is a true and fair representation of the financial activity of the enterprise Every financial statement relates to time in one way or another A statement of financial position, or balance sheet, represent a “picture” of the enterprise at a point in time (e.g., the end of a month or year) An income statement and a statement of cash flows, on the other hand, cover activity that took place over a period of time (e.g., a month or year) a Creditors are interested in financial statements to assist them in evaluating the ability of a business to repay its debts No one wants to extend credit to a company that is unable to meet its obligations as they come due b Potential investors use financial statements in selecting among alternative investment opportunities They are interested in investing in companies in which the value of their investment will increase as a result of future profitable operations c Labor unions are interested in financial statements because the financial position of a company and its profits are important factors in the company’s ability to pay higher wages and to employ more people Business transactions affect a company’s financial position, and as a result they change the statement of financial position or balance sheet The other financial statements – the income statement and the statement of cash flows – are detailed expansions of certain aspects of the statement of financial position and help explain how the company’s position changed over time The cost principle indicates that many assets are included in the financial records, and therefore, in the statement of financial position, 3-1 Chapter Understanding Financial Statements at their original cost to the reporting enterprise This principle affects accounting for assets in several ways, one of which is that the amount of most assets is not adjusted periodically for changes in the market value of the assets Instead, cost is retained as the basic method of accounting, regardless of changes in the market value of those assets The going concern assumption states that in the absence of evidence to the contrary (i.e., bankruptcy proceedings), an enterprise is expected to continue to operate in the foreseeable future This means, for example, that it will continue to use the assets it has in its financial statements for the purpose for which they were acquired The three categories and the information included in each are: Operating activities – Cash provided by and used in revenue and expense transactions Investing activities – Cash provided by and used as a result of investments in assets, such as machinery, equipment, land, and buildings Financial activities – Cash provided by and used in debt and equity financing, such as borrowing and repaying loans, and investments from and dividends paid to the enterprise’s owners Adequate disclosure refers to the requirement that financial statements, including accompanying notes, must include information necessary for reasonably informed users of financial statements to understand the company’s financial activities This requirement is often met, in part, by the addition of notes to the financial statements Financial statement notes include both quantitative and qualitative information that is not included in the body of the financial statements A strong income statement is one that has significantly more pesos of revenue than expenses, resulting in net income that is a relatively high percentage of the revenue figure A trend of relatively high income numbers over time signals a particularly strong income situation 10 A strong statement of cash flows is one that shows significant amounts of cash generated from operating activities This means that the enterprise is generating cash from its ongoing activities and is not required to rely on continuous debt and equity financing, or the sale of its major assets 3-2 Understanding Financial Statements Chapter 11 The purpose of classifications in financial statements is to develop useful subtotals, which help users analyze the statements The most commonly used classifications are: In a balance sheet: current assets, plant and equipment, other assets, current liabilities, long-term liabilities and equity In a multiple-step income statement: revenue, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and nonoperating items The operating expense section often includes subclassifications for selling expenses and for general and administrative expenses In a statement of cash flows: operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities 12 In classified financial statements, similar items are grouped together to produce subtotals which may assist users in their analyses Comparative financial statements show financial statements for two or more time periods in side-by-side columns Consolidated statements include not only the financial statement amounts for the company itself but also for any subsidiary companies that it owns The financial statements of large corporations often possess all three of these characteristics 13 In a multiple-step income statement, different categories of expenses are deducted from revenue in a series of steps, thus resulting in various subtotals, such as gross profit and operating income In a single-step income statement, all expenses are combined and deducted from total revenue in a single step Both formats result in the same amount of net income II Matching Type 1 d g a j e h f b c 10 i d a i g m c

(b) The loss of an asset, Barns and Sheds, from a typhoon would cause a decrease in total assets When total assets are decreased, the balance sheet total of liabilities and equity must also decrease Since there is no change in liabilities as a result of the destruction of an asset, the decrease on the right-hand side of the balance sheet must be in the retained earnings account The amount of the decrease in Barns and Sheds, in the equity, and in both balance sheet totals, is P23,800 Problem (Preparing a Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement; Effects of Business Transactions) Requirement (a)

analysis of financial position strength in requirement (c) is based solely upon the balance sheets at August and August Hopefully, students will raise many legitimate issues regarding necessity of

+ P6,500 – P2,525 Requirement (2) (1) The cash in Cruz’s personal savings account is not an asset of the business entity Fil-Cinema Scripts and should not appear in the balance sheet of the business The money on deposit in the business bank account (P3,400) and in the company safe (P540) constitute cash owned by the business Thus, the cash owned by the business at November 30 totals P3,940 (2) The years-old IOU does not qualify as a business asset for two reasons First, it does not belong to the business entity Second, it appears to be uncollectible A receivable that cannot be collected is not viewed as an asset, as it represents no future economic benefit (3) The total amount to be included in “Office furniture” for the rug is P9,400, the total cost, regardless of whether this amount was paid in cash Consequently, “Office furniture” should be increased by P6,500 The P6,500 liability arising from the purchase of the rug came into existence prior to the balance sheet date and must be added to the “Notes payable” amount (4) The computer is no longer owned by Hollywood Scripts and therefore cannot be included in the assets To so would cause an overstatement of both assets and equity The “Office furniture” amount must be reduced by P2,525 (5) The P22,400 described as “Other assets” is not an asset, because there is no valid legal claim or any reasonable expectation of recovering the income taxes paid Also, the payment of income taxes by Cruz was not a business transaction by Fil-Cinema Scripts If a refund were obtained from the government, it would come to Cruz personally, not to the business entity (6) The proper valuation for the land is its historical cost of P39,000, the amount established by the transaction in which the land was purchased Although the land may have a current fair value in excess of its cost, the offer by the friend to buy the land if Cruz would move the building appears to be mere conversation rather than solid, verifiable evidence of the fair value of the land The “cost principle,” although less than 3-9 Chapter Understanding Financial Statements perfect, produces far more reliable financial statements than would result if owners could “pull figures out of the air” in recording asset values (7) The accounts payable should be limited to the debts of the business, P32,700, and should not include Cruz’s personal liabilities IV Multiple Choice Questions 10 D D D B A B D C B C 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 B C D A D A A B C C 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 B C A B A D B B D C 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 3-10 B D D D
