  4. What are current liabilities?
  5. Explain what working capital is and how it is computed.
  6. What are intangible assets?
  7. What are current assets?

 

 

Solution 5-107
  1. Assets are probable future economic benefits obtained or controlled by an entity as a result of past transactions or events.

 

  1. Liabilities are probable future sacrifices of economic benefits arising from present obligations of an entity as a result of past transactions or events.

 

  1. Equity is the residual interest in the net assets of an entity.

 

  1. Current liabilities are obligations that are expected to be liquidated through the use of current assets or the creation of other current liabilities.

 

  1. Working capital is the net amount of a company’s relatively liquid resources. It is the excess of total current assets over total current liabilities.

 

  1. Intangible assets are economic resources or competitive advantages. They lack physical substance and have a high degree of uncertainty about the future benefits to be received.

 

  1. Current assets are resources (future economic benefits) expected to be converted to cash, sold, or consumed in one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer.

Instructions

Calculate the following for Hilton Company:

  1. Current cash debt coverage
  2. Cash debt coverage
  3. Free cash flow
  4. Explain the purpose of free cash flow analysis.

 

Solution 5-116

Net cash provided by operating activities

  1. Current cash debt coverage =  ——————————————————

Average current liabilities

 

$58,000                            $58,000

=  ——————————— =   ———— = 3.6 : 1

($12,000 + $20,000) ÷ 2        $16,000

 

Net cash provided by operating activities

  1. Cash debt coverage =  ——————————————————

Average total liabilities

 

$58,000                      $58,000

=  ——————————— =   ———— = 1.1 : 1

($32,000 + $70,000) ÷ 2        $51,000

 

  1. Free cash flow =  Net cash provided by operating activities –

capital expenditures and dividends

 

=  $58,000 – *$73,000 – $15,000 = $(30,000)

 

*$25,000 + $48,000

 

 

  1. Free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and dividends. The purpose of free cash flow analysis is to determine the amount of discretionary cash flow a company has for purchasing additional investments, retiring its debt, purchasing treasury stock, or simply adding to its liquidity and financial flexibility.

Note 2.   The inventory account includes only items physically present at the main plant and warehouse. Items located at the company’s branch sales office amounting to $40,000 are excluded since the company has consistently followed this procedure for many years.

 

 

Solution 5-117
  1. The heading should be as of a specific date rather than for a period of time.
  2. Reserve for Depreciation is poor terminology; the title Accumulated Depreciation is more appropriate.
  3. Land and buildings should be segregated into two accounts. The Accumulated Depreciation account should only be reported for the buildings.
  4. Plant site held for future use should be shown in the Investments section.
  5. Current assets should be shown on the balance sheet first in most situations; current assets are listed usually in order of liquidity; factory supplies should be shown as a current asset.
  6. Treasury stock is not an asset, but a contra account to stockholders’ equity in most situations.
  7. Notes receivable should be reported as a current asset or an investment.
  8. The deferred charge items should be reclassified as follows in most situations:

Advances to salespersons—current asset

Prepaid rent—current asset

Returnable containers—current asset

  1. Allowance for doubtful accounts should be shown as a contra account to accounts receivable.
  2. Common stock dividend distributable should be shown in stockholders’ equity.
  3. 5% debenture bonds should be shown on a separate line.
  4. Reserve for Contingencies should be shown as an appropriation of retained earnings. The authors prefer the term “appropriation” to the term “reserve.”
  5. Capital stock should be shown at the par value of the shares issued, $120,000. Any excess should be included in a paid-in capital account.
  6. Capital surplus and earned surplus are poor terminology. The terms “additional paid-in capital” and “retained earnings” are more appropriate.
  7. The dividends paid title is a misnomer. It probably is a dividends declared item that should be closed to retained earnings.
  8. No reference in the body of the statement is made to the notes.  The order of the notes is wrong.
  9. Note 2 indicates that the inventory account is understated by $40,000.
  10. Specific identification and description of all significant accounting principles and methods that involve selection from among alternatives and/or those that are peculiar to a given industry should be disclosed in the annual report.

  6. d

 

 

IFRS Short Answer:

 

  1. Briefly describe some of the similarities and differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS with respect to balance sheet reporting.

 

  1. Among the similarities between U.S. and IFRS related to balance sheet presentation are as follows:

 

  • IAS 1 specifies minimum note disclosures. These must include information about (1) accounting policies followed, (2) judgments that management has made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies, and (3) the key assumptions and estimation uncertainty that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
  • Comparative prior-period information must be presented and financial statements must be prepared annually.
  • Current/non-current classification for assets and liabilities is normally required. In general, post-balance sheet events are not considered in classifying items as current or non-current.

 

Differences include (1) IFRS statements may report property, plant, and equipment first in the balance sheet. Some companies report the sub-total “net assets”, which equals total assets minus total liabilities. (2) While the use of the term “reserve” is discouraged in U.S. GAAP, there is no such prohibition in IFRS.

 

  1. Briefly describe the convergence efforts related to financial statement presentation.

 

  1. The IASB and the FASB are working on a project to converge their standards related to financial statement presentation. This joint project will establish a common, high-quality standard for presentation of information in the financial statements, including the classification and display of line items. A key feature of the proposed framework for financial statement presentation is that each of the statements will be organized in the same format to separate an entity’s financing activities from its operating and other activities (investing) and further separates financing activities into transactions with owners and creditors. Thus, the same classifications used in the balance sheet would also be used in the income statement and the statement of cash flows.
