Bus 22 Do. Mors Note: This is a new case for the Twelfth Edition. Approach This is an introductory case and it should be taught as an introductory case. There will be plenty of time in the course for the students to leam the correct form of financial statements and details of accounting standards. In short, the instructor should be prepared to allow a variety of formats for the financial statements and tolerate some “not quite correct” accounting. The instructor may want to have students discuss Carmen's March 31 statement, but the bulk of the class should focus on the three case questions. Any discussion of the March 31 statement should deal with the nature of the various accounts (ie. prepaid rent is rent paid in advance of using the property and it is an asset because it has future economic benefits for the company, ete), rather than the format of the statement, It is better to leave the beginning of the course’s instruction in financial statement formats to the assigned case question discussions. Comments on Information Gathered and Carmen’s Concerns 1. The three month sales total is the sum of the cash sales ($7,400) and credit sales ($320). 2. Cost of sales is derived from the following equation Beginning merchandise inventory Plus Purchases Equals Total available merchandise Less Ending merchandise inventory Equals Cost of sales 3. Rent expense is $1,800 of $600 per month times three months. Paid in cash, 4, Part-time employee expenses ($1600) is the sum of cash paid ($1510) plus amount owed ($90). 5. Supplies expense ($80) is beginning supplies inventory ($100) less supplies inventory on hand on March 31 ($20), 6. The prepaid advertising ($150) was run by the local paper on April 2, The benefit of the asset expired so the asset became an expense, 7. The commercial sewing machine purchase led to an $1800 asset being recorded (a future benefit), The asset’s benefit was partly consumed during May and June resulting in a $60 depreciation charge ($1800/ 5 years/ 12 months x 2 months ~ straight line depreciation.) 8. Some of the future benefits of the computer and related software asset were consumed during the three month period. A $250 depreciation charge must be recognized ($2000/ 2/ 12/ x 3 - straight line depreciation.) 9. Cash balance at the end of period lower than beginning balance. See Question | discussion. 10. Four month’s interest must be recorded on the cousins’ $10,000 loan. ($10,000 x .06 x 4/ 12). Carmen has “rented” the cousins’ money for four months, (She forgot to include the March rent in her March 31 balance sheet.) 11. No depreciation is recorded on the cash register loaned by the local credit-card charge processor and the furniture left by the former tenant, These “assets” were not recognized on the financial statement because they were neither donated nor acquired in business transactions. 12, The uncle’s legal work is neither an asset nor an expense of the business. It did not result in a business transaction. 13. Carmen’s potential salary payment in July is neither an expense nor a liability as of March 31. The company does not have an obligation on March 31 to pay her any compensation, Question 1 Exhibit 1 presents the company’s initial three month income statement. It does not contain a provision for taxes, since Carmen at this early date did not know if income taxes would be due on the annual results, The principal reasons why the cash balance declined during the three month profitable operating period are: 1. The commercial sewing machine purchase reduced cash by $1,800 while the related depreciation charge only reduced income by $90, 2. Ending inventory was higher than beginning inventory and the increase was paid for with cash, That is, more inventory was bought for cash ($2,900) than the cost of goods sold ($2,100), Exhibit 2 present a cash flow analysis for the three month operating period Question 2 Exhibit 3 presents the company’s June 30 balance sheet. Question 3 ess is off to a good start, but it will have to do better over the rest of the .gful compensations and repay the cousins’ loan at Carmen's bu year if Carmen plans to pay herself any meani the end of the year. When discussing Question 3 some students believe that Carmen should include a consideration of an imputed compensation expense in deciding how well she has done. Students accept the non recognition of her compensation in the income statement, but believe she should recognize that personally she has incurred an opportunity cost for lost wages (at least four months x $1300). In addition, students believe Carmen’s nonrecognition of any cost associated with using the abandoned counters and display equipment overstates how well she is doing from an economic point of view. These students would include some depreciation cost based on the asset's fair value in their evaluation of how “successful” the business has been to date. Some students advocate including the free legal advice’s value ($600) in their assessment of the company’s success to date The instructor may challenge the class to consider why the imputed salary and depreciation) are not included in the company’ ¢ items (free legal advice, income statement.

Question 2 $5,000 1,500 2,000 $8,500 This question provides an opportunity for students to step back and think about the information in a financial statement, rather than focusing on the details of constructing a financial statement. Students can begin to analyze and use the information that the financial statements contain, Students can be asked to identify which accounts have changed significantly between the beginning and ending balance sheets, ‘These would include accounts receivable, note receivable, equipment, accounts payable, taxes payable, and the bank note payable, in addition to the cash account. The only ratio explained in Chapter 2 of the text is the current ratio, so students should be encouraged to ascertain what has happened to the current ratio between June 1 and June 30, Cash has increased largely due to increased accounts and notes payable, as well as eash generated by operations. Cash appears to have been inereased by the collection of 20 oe, the note receivable, but as explained in Question 3 below, this was offset by the declaration of an identical dividend, so that the net effect on cash of these two transactions was zero. Equipment purchases were a major use of cash, As a result of these events, the June 30 current ratio has fallen to 2.15 from its June | level of 4.35. Even though the leverage ratios have not yet been introduced in the text, the instructor might want fo encourage students to observe that the proportion of liabilities on the right-hand side of the balance sheet has increased, with a complementary decrease in the proportion of equities. The capitalization ratio Total Liabilities/Total Liabilities + Equities has increased from 4% on June 1 to 9% on June 30. While these ratios are still very low, students can be made aware of the importanee of identifying trends early Question 3 Retained Eamings has not increased by the amount of net income for the month, $19,635, since Diane Maynard as the sole shareholder declared a dividend of $11,700, which she then used to cancel her loan of $11,700 from the company. Hence, Retained Earnings increased by $7,935 during the month of June Question 4 This question is intended to emphasize early in the course that shareholder's equity does not necessarily reflect what the entity is worth, Time permitting, the instructor can have students estimate the cash proceeds of piecemeal sale of the assets by a liquidation company, which, net of liabilities, will certainly be less than $619,446. Then the value of the company as a going concern can be discussed; if June's $19,635 net income is typical, the firm would be worth more than $619,446 as a going concem. Capitalizing June's net income on an annual basis ($19,635 x 12) at 10 times earning gives the company a value in excess of $2 million. The company’s return on equity is very high. On an annual basis it may be as high as 32%. This figure is 12 months" income ($19,635 x 12) divided by projected year-end equity (8619,446 + $19,635 x 6). This is not a typical business. It is better. Gere!

Note: This case is mchanged from the Eleventh Edition. Approach This is a valuable type of problem. The student is in effect analyzing, journalizing, and posting transactions without knowing the technicalities, and hence without being encumbered by them. Some instructors prefer to make up similar transactions and give them in class, rather than, or in addition to, using the set given in this problem. If students can handle these events comfortably, they really Understand the essentials of the balance sheet and of the balance sheet equation, They are urged to cross out old balances, rather than erasing them, both because this aids in tracing errors, and because this is analogous to what is done in the ledger. Preservation of the underlying equation in each transaction and the balance sheet should be emphasized throughout For the accounts already established (¢.g., Notes Payable), students should use the identical wording. This helps avoid sloppy habits when they start to joumnalize lafer on. For new accounts (e.g., Mortgage Payable), they should be given latitude in selecting a title, but having selected one, they must stick to it. MUSIC MART, INC.

Question 2 This question brings out the difference between cash accounting and accrual accounting, Cash increased by $31,677 whereas net income was $19,635. Explaining the exact difference may be too difficult at this stage, but students should see that 1. The bank loan, a financing transaction, increased cash by $20,865 but did not affect net income. Cash collected on credit sales made last period ($21,798) also increased cash, but did not affeet net income this period. (The same is true of the collection of the $11,700 note receivable from Diane Maynard, but it was offset by the payments of the $11,700 dividend to Diane Maynard, the sole shareholder.)

Noncash expenses such as depreciation ($2,574) and insurance ($324) decreased net income but did not affect cash as they relate largely, if not wholly, to eash outflows made for asset acquisition in prior petiods. (Exception: such expenses on an entity’s first income statement are not related to prior period expenditures but they will be a much smaller amount than the frst accounting period’s expenditures. Question 3 (a) $14,715 is incorrect because it is the amount of eash purchases rather than the cost of sales. ‘The cost of cash purchases and cost of sales amounts would be equal for a period in which all purchases were for cash, and in which the dollar amount of beginning inventory was the same as the dollar amount of ending inventory, since Cost of Sales = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory. (b) $36,030 is the sum of cash purchases ($14,715) and credit purchases ($21,315). As explained above, purchases equal cost of sales for the period only if beginning and ending inventory amounts are the same. 21 Case 3-2: Lone Pine Café (By Note: This cave is updated front the Eleventh Edition. Approach This ease introduces students to preparation of an income statement based on analyzing transactions, At this stage, students are not expected to set up accounts in the formal sense. However, in effect they do so for those income statement items that did not coincide exactly with cash flows. Question I A suggested income statement as required by Question 1 is shown below. The following notes apply to the income statement. The student needs to refer back to Lone Pine Café (A) in order to construct the income statement fn the acerual basis. Amounts for sales on credit, purchases on credit, beginning and ending inventory, beginning and ending prepaid operating license, and depreciation expense are to be found there. Specifically: a. Sales revenues = $43,480 cash sales + $870 credit sales to ski instructors = $44,350, b.
