Test Bank for ISV Managerial Accounting, Fourth Edition TRUE-FALSE STATEMENTS Intracompany comparisons of the same financial statement items can often detect changes in financial relationships and significant trends Calculating financial ratios is a financial reporting requirement under generally accepted accounting principles Measures of a company's liquidity are concerned with the frequency and amounts of dividend payments Analysis of financial statements is enhanced with the use of comparative data Comparisons of company data with industry averages can provide some insight into the company's relative position in the industry Vertical and horizontal analyses are concerned with the format used to prepare financial statements Horizontal, vertical, and circular analyses are the most common tools of financial statement analysis Horizontal analysis is a technique for evaluating a financial statement item in the current year with other items in the current year Another name for trend analysis is horizontal analysis 10 If a company has sales of $110 in 2008 and $154 in 2009, the percentage increase in sales from 2008 to 2009 is 140% 11 In horizontal analysis, if an item has a negative amount in the base year, and a positive amount in the following year, no percentage change for that item can be computed 12 Common size analysis expresses each item within a financial statement in terms of a percent of a base amount 13 Vertical analysis is a more sophisticated analytical tool than horizontal analysis 14 Vertical analysis is useful in making comparisons of companies of different sizes 15 Meaningful analysis of financial statements will include either horizontal or vertical analysis, but not both 16 Using vertical analysis of the income statement, a company's net income as a percentage of net sales is 10%; therefore, the cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales must be 90% 17 In the vertical analysis of the income statement, each item is generally stated as a percentage of net income 18 A ratio can be expressed as a percentage, a rate, or a proportion Financial Statement Analysis: The Big Picture 14 - 19 A solvency ratio measures the income or operating success of an enterprise for a given period of time 20 The current ratio is a measure of all the ratios calculated for the current year 21 Inventory turnover measures the number of times on average the inventory was sold during the period 22 Profitability ratios are frequently used as a basis for evaluating management's operating effectiveness 23 The rate of return on total assets will be greater than the rate of return on common stockholders' equity if the company has been successful in trading on the equity at a gain 24 From a creditor's point of view, the higher the total debt to total assets ratio, the lower the risk that the company may be unable to pay its obligations 25 A current ratio of 1.2 to indicates that a company's current assets exceed its current liabilities 26 Using borrowed money to increase the rate of return on common stockholders' equity is called "trading on the equity." 27 When the disposal of a significant segment occurs, the income statement should report both income from continuing operations and income (loss) from discontinued operations 28 An event or transaction should be classified as an extraordinary item if it is unusual in nature or if it occurs infrequently 29 Variations among companies in the application of generally accepted accounting principles may reduce quality of earnings 30 Pro forma income usually excludes items that the company thinks are unusual or nonrecurring Additional True-False Questions 31 The three basic tools of analysis are horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, and ratio analysis 32 A percentage change can be computed only if the base amount is zero or positive 33 In vertical analysis, the base amount in an income statement is usually net sales 34 Profitability ratios measure the ability of the enterprise to survive over a long period of time 35 The days in inventory is computed by multiplying inventory turnover by 365 36 Extraordinary items are reported net of applicable taxes in a separate section of the income statement 14 -

Explain how the output of horizontal analysis and vertical analysis can be compared to industry averages and/or competitive companies Solution 215 Horizontal analysis allows an analyst to develop a picture of current trends in a company's operations The analyst can see whether the accounts are increasing or decreasing and how large these changes actually are Vertical analysis allows an analyst to evaluate financial statement items within a single financial statement This technique helps the analyst to evaluate the relative size of the financial statement items and how the items relate to the financial statement as a whole An example would be if current liabilities were a very large percentage of total liabilities and stockholders' equity Both techniques allow the company to evaluate their performance and position relative to their competitors and their industry as a whole For example, the company could evaluate its current trend in sales and see how favorably its sales performance compared to the sales performance of other companies in the industry Another example would be comparing the relative size of longterm liabilities or retained earnings This would show which companies have taken on a large amount of debt and which companies have invested in themselves S-A E 216 Manuel Mentirosa, the CEO of Mystical Products, is a successful entrepreneur but a poor student of accounting He asks you to explain to him, in a memo, the bases of comparison for ratio analysis Solution 216 To: Manuel Mentirosa From: Student name Re: Bases of Comparison for Ratio Analysis There are three bases of comparison for ratio analysis They include: Intracompany: This basis compares a ratio for the current year to the same ratio for one or more prior years Intercompany: This basis compares a ratio for one company with the same ratio for one or more competing companies Industry averages: This basis compares a ratio for a company with the industry average for the same ratio (Signed) Financial Statement Analysis: The Big Picture 14 - 57 S-A E 217 (Ethics) A trusted employee of Wilderness Tours was caught in the act of embezzling funds He confessed to earlier embezzlements, but retracted the confession on the advice of his attorney Over the course of the most recent quarter, it has been determined that $20,000 was embezzled Wilderness Tours has suffered adverse publicity in the recent past because of serious injury to five tourists that occurred during a two week "Winter Wilds Adventure" tour The company has therefore decided to avoid publicity and has agreed to drop all charges against the embezzling employee In return, the employee has agreed to a notation of "Terminated—Not to be Rehired" to be appended to his personnel file Required: Who are the stakeholders in the decision not to prosecute? Was it ethical for the company to decide not to prosecute? Explain Solution 217 The stakeholders include • The embezzling employee • The other employees • Company management • Other companies who might hire the embezzling employee The company was certainly within its legal rights not to prosecute the embezzling employee However, the decision not to prosecute may not be ethical First, it does not serve public justice The embezzling employee could find a job elsewhere, and harm someone else financially Second, to the extent that other employees know of the act and of the decision, morale may be harmed The decision is also not the best one for the employee Having never been forced to face the consequences of his dishonest acts, he is not deterred from (and may even feel encouraged to) commit similar acts in the future The one argument that would support the premise that the decision was ethical is that the public disclosure would cause harm greater than that caused by keeping silent Even this argument lacks force, because it implies a lack of moral courageousness S-A E 218 (Communication) Kwik Express specializes in the overnight transportation of medical equipment and laboratory specimens The company has selected the following information from its most recent annual report to be the subject of an immediate press release • The financial statements are being released • Net income this year was $2.2 million Last year's net income had been $2.0 million • The current ratio has changed to 2:1 from last year's 1.5:1 • The debt/total assets ratio has changed to 4:5 from last year's 3:5 • The company expanded its truck fleet substantially by purchasing ten new delivery vans The company already had twelve delivery vans • The company is now the largest medical courier in the mid-Atlantic region Required: Prepare a brief press release incorporating the information above Include all information Think carefully which information (if any) is good news for the company, and which (if any) is bad news 14 - 58 Test Bank for ISV Managerial Accounting, Fourth Edition Solution 218 Press Release Kwik Express released its financial statements today, disclosing a 10% increase in earnings, to $2.2 million from $2 million last year The company also improved its short-term liquidity Its current ratio improved to 2:1 from last year's 1.5:1 Part of the improved performance is no doubt due to the addition of ten new delivery vans to its fleet, allowing it to become the largest medical courier in the mid-Atlantic region The purchase of the vans, however, caused the debt/total asset ratio to decline There are now $4 of debt for every $5 in assets, while last year, there were only $3 of debt to $5 in assets ... computed by multiplying inventory turnover by 365 36 Extraordinary items are reported net of applicable taxes in a separate section of the income statement 14 - Test Bank for ISV Managerial Accounting, ... to quality of earnings are (1) alternative accounting methods, (2) pro forma income, and (3) improper recognition 14 - Test Bank for ISV Managerial Accounting, Fourth Edition TRUE-FALSE STATEMENTS...14 - Test Bank for ISV Managerial Accounting, Fourth Edition SUMMARY OF QUESTIONS BY STUDY OBJECTIVES AND BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Brief Exercises
