Chapter 4
Adjustments, Financial Statements, and the
Quality of Earnings

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. Adjusting entries are made at the end of the accounting period to record all
revenues and expenses that have not been recorded but belong in the current
period. They update the balance sheet and income statement accounts at the end
of the accounting period.
2. The four different types are adjustments for:
(1) Deferred revenues -- previously recorded liabilities that need to be adjusted at
the end of the period to reflect revenues that have been earned (e.g.,
Unearned Ticket Revenue must be adjusted for the portion of ticket revenues
earned in the current period).
(2) Accrued revenues -- revenues that have been earned by the end of the
accounting period but which will be collected in a future accounting period
(e.g., recording Interest Receivable for interest revenues not yet collected).
(3) Deferred expenses -- previously recorded assets that need to be adjusted at
the end of the period to reflect incurred expenses (e.g., Prepaid Insurance must
be adjusted for the portion of insurance expense incurred in the current period).
(4) Accrued expenses -- expenses that have been incurred by the end of the
accounting period but which will be paid in a future accounting period (e.g.,
recording Utilities Payable for utilities expense incurred during the period that
has not yet been paid).
3. A contra-asset is an account related to an asset that is an offset or reduction to the
asset's balance. Accumulated Depreciation is a contra-account to the equipment
and buildings accounts.

Chapter 04 - Adjustments, Financial Statements, and the Quality of Earnings

4. The net income on the income statement is included in determining ending retained
earnings on the statement of stockholders equity and the balance sheet. The
change in the cash account on the balance sheet is analyzed and categorized on
the statement of cash flows into cash from operating activities, investing activities,
and financing activities.
5. (a) Income statement: Revenues (and gains) - Expenses (and losses) = Net Income
(b) Balance sheet: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity
(c) Statement of stockholders' equity: Ending Stockholders' Equity = (Beginning
Contributed Capital + Stock Issuances - Stock Repurchases) + (Beginning
Retained Earnings + Net Income - Dividends Declared)
6. Adjusting entries have no effect on cash. For deferred revenues and deferred
expenses, cash was received or paid at some point in the past. For accruals, cash
will be received or paid in a future accounting period. At the time of the adjusting
entry, there is no cash being received or paid.
7. Earnings per share = Net income average number of shares of stock outstanding
during the period.
Earnings per share measures the average amount of net income for the year
attributable to one share of common stock.
8. Total asset turnover ratio = Sales (or Operating) Revenues Average Total Assets
The total asset turnover ratio measures sales generated during the period per
dollar of assets how effective the company is at generating sales by utilizing
assets.
9. The closing entry is made at the end of the accounting period to (1) transfer the
balances in the temporary income statement accounts to retained earnings and (2)
reduce the revenue, gain, expense, and loss accounts to a zero balance so that
they can be used for the accumulation process during the next period. A closing
entry must be entered into the system through the journal and posted to the ledger
accounts to state properly the temporary and permanent account balances (i.e.,
zero balances in the temporary accounts).
10. (a) Permanent accounts -- balance sheet accounts; that is, the asset, liability, and
stockholders equity accounts (these are not closed at the end of each period).
(b) Temporary accounts -- income statement accounts; that is, revenues, gains,
expenses, and losses (these are closed at the end of each period).
(c) Real accounts -- another name for permanent accounts.
(d) Nominal accounts -- another name for temporary accounts.

11. The income statement accounts are closed at the end of the accounting period
because, in effect, they are temporary subaccounts to retained earnings (i.e., a part
of stockholders' equity). They are used only for accumulation during the
accounting period. When the period ends, these accumulated accounts must be
transferred (closed) to retained earnings. The closing process serves:
(1) to correctly state retained earnings, and
(2) to clear out the balances of the temporary accounts for the year just ended so
that these subaccounts can be used again during the next period for
accumulation and classification purposes.
Balance sheet accounts are not closed at the end of the period because they
reflect permanent accumulated balances of assets, liabilities, and stockholders'
equity. Permanent accounts show the entity's financial position at the end of the
period and are the beginning amounts for the next period.
12. A post-closing trial balance is a listing taken from the ledger after the adjusting and
closing entries have been journalized and posted. It is not a necessary part of the
accounting information processing cycle but it is useful because it demonstrates
the equality of the debits and credits in the ledger after the closing entry has been
journalized and posted and that all temporary accounts have zero balances.

* Due to the nature of this project, it is very difficult to estimate the amount of time
students will need to complete the assignment. As with any open-ended project, it is
possible for students to devote a large amount of time to these assignments. While
students often benefit from the extra effort, we find that some become frustrated by the
perceived difficulty of the task. You can reduce student frustration and anxiety by
making your expectations clear. For example, when our goal is to sharpen research
skills, we devote class time to discussing research strategies. When we want the
students to focus on a real accounting issue, we offer suggestions about possible
companies or industries.

= $109,000 [($58,020 + $65,180)/2]
= $109,000 $61,600 = 1.77
The total asset turnover ratio indicates that, for every $1 of assets, Jay earns $1.77 in
rental revenue. This ratio is lower than the industry average total asset turnover of
2.31, implying that Jay is less effective at utilizing assets to generate revenue than the
average company in the industry.

Net income is $3,240 because this amount includes all revenues and all expenses
(after the adjusting entries). This amount is correct because it incorporates the effects
of the revenue realization and expense matching principles applied to all transactions
whose effects extend beyond the period in which the transactions occurred. Net
income of $8,930 was not correct because expenses of $7,510 and revenues of $1,820
were excluded that should have been recorded in 2015.

Net income is $12,100 because this amount includes all revenues and all expenses
(after the adjusting entries). This amount is correct because it incorporates the effects
of the revenue and matching principles applied to all transactions whose effects extend
beyond the period in which the transactions occurred. Net income of $27,000 was not
correct because expenses of $24,400 and revenues of $9,500 were excluded that
should have been recorded in 2014.

Req. 7
(a)

Current ratio = Current assets Current liabilities


= $90,000 $49,000
= 1.84
This suggests that H & H Tool, Inc., has sufficient current assets to pay current
liabilities.

(b)

Total asset turnover = Sales Average total assets


= $215,000 [($101,000 + $185,000) 2]
= $215,000 $143,000
= 1.50
This suggests that H & H Tool, Inc., generated $1.50 for every dollar of assets.

(c)

Net profit margin

= Net income Sales


= $41,000 $215,000
= 0.191 or 19.1%

This suggests that H & H Tool, Inc., earns $0.191 for every dollar in sales that it
generates.
For all of the ratios, a comparison across time and a comparison against an
industry average or competitors will need to be analyzed to determine how liquid
(current ratio) the company is and how efficient (total asset turnover) and how
effective (net profit margin) H & H Tools management is.

(a)

Current ratio = Current assets Current liabilities


= $49,000 $44,000
= 1.11
This result suggests that Furniture Refinishers, Inc., has sufficient current assets
to pay current liabilities in the coming period.

(b)

Total asset turnover = Sales (or Operating) Revenue Average total assets
= $70,000 [($26,000 + $74,000) 2]
= $70,000 $50,000
= 1.40
This suggests that Furniture Refinishers, Inc., generates $1.40 of revenue for
every dollar of assets.

(c)

Net profit margin

= Net income Sales (or Operating) Revenue


= $16,000 $70,000
= 0.23 or 23%

This suggests that Furniture Refinishers, Inc., earns $0.23 for every dollar in
sales that it generates.
For all of the ratios, a comparison across time and a comparison against an
industry average or competitors will need to be analyzed to determine how liquid
(current ratio) the company is and how efficient (total asset turnover) and how
effective (net profit margin) Furniture Refinishers, Inc.s management is.

1. At the end of the most recent year, Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets was
$69,876 thousand. This information is disclosed on the balance sheet.
2. The company reported $183,974 thousand in deferred rent. This information is
disclosed on the balance sheet.
3. Prepaid rent (an asset) usually represents rent that a company has paid in advance
to its landlords. If a company also rents property to tenants, deferred rent (a
liability) usually represents rent that it has collected in advance for which the
company has an obligation to allow a tenant to use the property. Urban Outfitters,
however, reported deferred rent that is related to a variety of lease issues including
recording rent expense greater than the cash paid (described under Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies note). This issue is covered in a more advanced
course.
4. Accrued Liabilities would consist of costs that have been incurred by the end of the
accounting period but which have not yet been paid.
5. Interest Income is related to the companys short-term and long-term marketable
securities (investments).
6. The companys income statement accounts (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses)
would not have balances on a post-closing trial balance. These accounts are
temporary accounts that have been closed to Retained Earnings.
7. Prepaid Expenses is an asset account. As such, it is a permanent account that
carries its ending balance into the next accounting period. It is not closed at the
end of the period.
8. The company reported basic earnings per share of $1.20 for the year ended
January 31, 2012, $1.64 for the year ended January 31, 2011, and $1.31 for the
year ended January 31, 2010.

expense as a percentage of sales each year.

Outfitters

Both American Eagle and Urban Outfitters are spending less on advertising as a
percentage of sales than the average company in the industry. This might imply that
they are more effective at generating fewer sales per dollar spent on advertising.
Another interpretation is that they are weak in supporting their brand, and sales will
eventually decrease as their brands lose value.
4. Both accounting policies are similar indicating that advertising costs are expensed
when the marketing campaigns become publicly available. Urban Outfitters
capitalizes expenses associated with direct-to-consumer advertising (catalogs) and
amortizes these expenses over the expected period of future benefits. (The
policies are disclosed in note 2 in both annual reports).

Both companies, American Eagle Outfitters and Urban Outfitters, have lower Total
Asset Turnover ratios than the average company in their industry. This suggests
both companies are less effective at utilizing total assets to generate sales. This
ratio is affected by growth strategies in which companies invest in additional
property and equipment or other assets, but the new assets are not yet generating
sales levels of established stores.

Transaction (b):
1.

This transaction will affect Careys financial statements for 2 years--2016 and
2017--because four months rent revenue was earned in 2016, and two months'
rent revenue will be earned in 2017.

2. The 2016 income statement should report rent revenue earned of $20,000
($30,000 x 4/6). Occupancy was provided for only 4 months in 2016. This is in
conformity with the revenue principle.
3. This transaction created a $10,000 liability ($30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000) as of
December 31, 2016, because at that date Carey "owes'' the renter two more
months' occupancy for which it has already collected the cash.
4. Yes, an adjusting entry must be made to (a) increase the Rent Revenue account by
$10,000 for two months rent earned in 2017 and (b) to decrease the liability to $0
representing no future occupancy owed (in conformity with the revenue principle).

2. The $7,500 should be reported as wage expense in the 2016 income statement
and as a liability on the 2016 balance sheet. On January 5, 2017, the liability will
be paid. Therefore, the 2017 balance sheet will reflect a reduced cash balance
and reduced liability balance. The transaction will not directly affect the 2017
income statement (unless the adjusting entry was not made).
3. Yes, an adjusting entry must be made to (a) record the $7,500 as an expense in
2016 (matching principle) and (b) to record the liability which will be paid in 2017.
December 31, 2016--Adjusting entry:
Wage expense (+E, SE) ................................
7,500
Wages payable (+L) ..............................
7,500
Note: On January 5, 2017, the liability, Wages Payable, of $7,500 will be paid. Wage
expense for 2017 will not include this $7,500. The 2017 related entry will debit
(decrease) Wages Payable, and credit (decrease) Cash, $7,500.
Transaction (d):
1. Yes, service revenue of $45,000 (i.e., $60,000 x 3/4) should be recorded as earned
by Carey in conformity with the revenue principle. Service revenue is recognized
as the service is performed.
2. Recognition of revenue earned but not collected by the end of 2016 requires an
adjusting entry. This adjusting entry is necessary to (a) record the revenue earned
(to be reported on the 2016 income statement) and (b) record the related account
receivable (an asset to be reported on the 2016 balance sheet). The adjusting
entry on December 31, 2016 is:
Accounts receivable (+A)............................................ 45,000
Service revenue (+R, +SE)...............................
45,000
($60,000 total price x 3/4 completed)
3. February 15, 2017--Completion of the last phase of the service contract and cash
collected in full:
Cash (+A) .................................................................... 60,000
Accounts receivable (A)..................................
45,000
Service revenue (+R, +SE)...............................

Memo to Crystal Mullinex should include the following:
(1) Net income was overstated by $122,525 because of inappropriate recognition of
revenue (overstated by $113,000) and expenses (understated by $9,525).
Revenue should be recognized when earned, not when the cash is collected.
Similarly, expenses should be matched against revenue in the period when the
services or materials were used (including depreciation expense).
(2) Some other items the parties should consider in the pricing decision:
(a) A correct balance sheet at December 31, 2015.
(b) Collectability of any receivables (if they are to be sold with the business).
(c) Any liabilities of the spa to be assumed by the purchaser.
(d) Current employees -- how will they be affected?
(e) Adequacy of the rented space -- is there a long-term noncancellable lease?
(f) Characteristics of Crystals spa practices.
(g) Expected future cash flows of the business. What is the present value of
those expectations?

Omission of the adjusting entries caused:
(a) Net income to be overstated by $28,510.
(b) Total assets to be overstated by $13,200.
(c) Total liabilities to be understated by $15,310.
Req. 4
(a) Earnings per share:
Unadjusted -- $38,000 net income 10,000 shares = $3.80 per share
Adjusted -- $ 9,490 net income 10,000 shares = $0.95 per share
(b) Total asset turnover:
Unadjusted -- $85,000 revenue [($0 + $82,000)/2] average total assets = 2.073
Adjusted -- $78,000 revenue [($0 + $68,800)/2] average total assets = 2.267
Each of the ratios was affected by inclusion of the adjustments with net income,
revenue, and assets decreasing.
For earnings per share, the numerator net income decreased while the
denominator did not, resulting in a significantly lower figure.
For the total asset turnover ratio, both the numerator and denominator
decreased, but the denominator average total assets decreased more than the
numerator revenues, causing an increase in the ratio.

Req. 5
To the Stockholders of Stoscheck Moving Corporation:
We regret to inform you that your request for a $30,000 loan has been denied.
Our review showed that various adjustments were required to the original set of
financial statements provided to us. The original (unadjusted) financial statements
overstated net income for 2015 by $28,510 (i.e., $38,000 - $9,490). This overstatement
was caused by incorrectly including $7,000 of revenue collected in advance that had
not been earned in 2015. Further, all of the expenses were understated and income
tax expense had been incorrectly excluded.
Total assets were overstated by $13,200 (i.e., $82,000 - $68,800). Supplies was
overstated by $2,200, prepaid insurance was overstated by $3,000, and the net book
value of the equipment was overstated by $8,000 because annual depreciation was not
properly recognized. Further, total liabilities were understated by $15,310.
A review of key financial ratios indicates that the adjustments caused earnings per
share to decline, although total asset turnover increased from 2.073 to 2.267. The
adjusted ratios, however, would need to be compared to those of other start-up
companies in the same industry.
We require that there be sufficient collateral pledged against the loan before we can
consider it. The current market value of the equipment may be able to provide
additional collateral against which the loan could be secured. Your personal
investments may also be considered viable collateral if you are willing to sign an
agreement pledging these assets as collateral for the loan. This is a common
requirement for small start-up businesses.
If you would like us to reconsider your application, please provide us the current market
values of any assets you would pledge as collateral.
Regards,
(your name)

a. $9,000 revenue target based on cash sales:
This target is not clearly defined. Does management mean any cash
subscriptions received during the period? Your region generated $36,000 in
cash subscriptions. By this assumption, your region far exceeded the companys
target. You may be entitled to a generous bonus due to your strong
performance.
On the other hand, management may mean any sales revenue earned that has
also been received in cash during the period. Under this assumption, sales
revenue earned and received in cash is $7,000 (the accrual accounting basis
amount). If this is the companys intention of its target, then your region did not
meet the goal, only generating 77.8% of the target. You may need to provide an
analysis to management regarding this below par performance.
This example demonstrates the need for clear communication of expectations by
management.
b. $9,000 revenue target based on accrual accounting:
This situation is the same as the second assumption under a. Your region
earned $2,000 less than expected by the company.
