COMPONENTS OF THE INCOME STATEMENT
v The income statement reports the revenues and expenses of the firm over a period of
time.
Net
Revenue Expense
Income
v Investors examine a firm’s income statement for valuation purposes while lenders
examine the income statement for information about the firm’s ability to make the
promised interest and principle payments on its debt.
COMPONENTS OF THE INCOME STATEMENT
v Revenues (sales, turnover): Amounts reported from the sale of goods and services in the normal
course of business.
v Net revenue: Revenue less adjustments for estimated returns and allowances (e.g. for estimated
v Expenses: Amounts incurred to generate revenue and include cost of goods sold, operating
v Gains and losses: assets inflows and outflows not directly related to the ordinary activities of the
business.
Ø For example, a company sell surplus land, the cost of land is subtracted from the sales price
v Operating profit: gross profit minus operating expense (selling, general and administrative
expenses)
v Net profit (net income, earning, bottom line): operating profit minus interest expense and
income taxes
v Minority owners’ interest: the pro-rata share of the subsidiary’s income for the portion of the
Ø Notes: In Vietnam, interest expense is classified as operating expense and therefore operating
profit is equal to gross profit minus S&A expense and interest expense.

PRINCIPLES OF REVENUE RECOGNITION
v Revenue recognition can occur independently of cash movements—for example, in the case of
v Consequently, firms can manipulate net income by recognizing revenue earlier or later, or by
Example: Builder Co.’s contract with Customer Co. to construct the commercial
building specifies consideration of $5,000,000. Builder Co.’s expected total costs to
complete are $4,000,000. The Builder incurs $3,000,000 in costs in the first year.
Assuming that costs incurred provide an appropriate measure of progress toward
completing the contract, how much revenue and costs should Builder Co. recognize for
the first year?
Suppose that on the second year, job is completed with costs of $1,250,000 (a cost
overrun). how much revenue and costs should Builder Co. recognize for this year?
REVENUE RECOGNITION APPLICATIONS
v Long-term contracts: are contracts that may span a number of accounting periods (e.g.,
a construction contract). Such contracts raise issues in determining when the earnings
process has been completed and revenue recognition should occur.
§ Completed contract method: use when the outcome of a contract cannot be
measured reliably.
ü US GAAP: Revenue, expense and profit are recognised only when the contract
is complete. If a loss is expected, the loss must be recognised immediately.
ü IFRS: Revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs, cost are expensed
when incurred and profit is recognised only at completion.
REVENUE RECOGNITION APPLICATIONS
v Long-term contracts - Completed contract method
Example: A company has a contract to build a network for a customer for a total sales
price of $10 million. Network will take an estimated three years to build. Considerable
uncertainty surrounds total building costs because new technologies are involved. The
outcome cannot be reliably measured, but it is probable that the costs up to the agreed-
upon price will be recovered. Expenditures total $3 million, $5.4 million, and $6 million
as of the end of Year 1,2, and 3, respectively.
How much revenue, expense (cost of construction), and income would the company
recognize each year under the completed contract method?
REVENUE RECOGNITION APPLICATIONS
v Installment sales: A firm finances a sales and payments are expected to be received over
an extended period
Ø If collectability is certain, revenue is recognised at the time of sale using the normal
revenue recognition criteria.
Ø Otherwise:
§ Installment method: use when collectability cannot be reasonably estimated.
ü The portion of the total profit of the sale that is recognised in each period is
determined by the percentage of the total sales price for which the seller has
received cash.
§ Cost recovery method: use when collectability is highly uncertain
ü The seller does not report any profit until the cash amounts paid by the buyer—
including principal and interest on any financing from the seller—are greater than
all the seller’s costs of the property.
REVENUE RECOGNITION APPLICATIONS
v Installment sales
Example: Assume the following:
§ Sales price and cost of a property are $2,000,000 and $1,100,000, respectively, so
that the total profit to be recognized is $900,000.
§ Seller received a down payment of $300,000 cash, with the remainder of the sales
price to be received over a 10-year period.
§ There is significant doubt about the ability and commitment of the buyer to
complete all payments.
How much profit will be recognized attributable to the down payment if
(a) the installment method is used?
(b) the cost recovery method is used?
PRINCIPLES OF EXPENSE RECOGNITION
v Fundamental principle: A company recognizes expenses in the period in which it consumes
(i.e., uses up) the economic benefits associated with the expenditure.
movements.
§ When a company sells its products or services on credit, it is likely that some
customers will ultimately default on their obligations (i.e., fail to pay).
§ Under the matching principle, at the time revenue is recognized on a sale, a
company is required to record an estimate of how much of the revenue will
ultimately be uncollectible.
§ Companies make such estimates based on previous experience with uncollectible
accounts. Such estimates may be expressed as a proportion of the overall amount of
sales, the overall amount of receivables, or the amount of receivables overdue by a
specific amount of time. The company records its estimate of uncollectible amounts
as an expense on the income statement, not as a direct reduction of revenues.
PRINCIPLES OF EXPENSE RECOGNITION
v Warranties
§ At times, companies offer warranties on the products they sell. If the product proves
deficient in some respect that is covered under the terms of the warranty, the company
will incur an expense to repair or replace the product. At the time of sale, the company
does not know the amount of future expenses it will incur in connection with its
warranties.
§ Under the matching principle, a company is required to estimate the amount of future
expenses resulting from its warranties, to recognize an estimated warranty expense in
the period of the sale, and to update the expense as indicated by experience over the
life of the warranty.
PRINCIPLES OF EXPENSE RECOGNITION
v Depreciation and Amortisation
§ Depreciation: term commonly applied for physical long-lived assets, such as plant and
equipment (NOT land)
§ Amortization: Term commonly applied to this process for intangible long-lived assets with
a finite useful life
NONRECURRING ITEMS &
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
v Separating nonrecurring from recurring items of income and expense can help an analyst assess
a company’s future earnings.
v Nonrecurring items:
§ discontinued operations
Example: For the year ended 31 December 2018, Shopalot Company had net income of
$1,950,000. The company had 1,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding, no
preferred stock, and no convertible financial instruments. What is Shopalot’s basic EPS?
EARNINGS PER SHARE
v Example:
Calculate
(1) the weighted average number of shares outstanding
(2) the company’s basic EPS
Assume the following:
Company had net income of $2,500,000 for the year and paid $200,000 of preferred dividends.
1,000,000 Shares outstanding on 1 January 2020
200,000 Shares issued on 1 April 2020
(100,000) Shares repurchased on 1 October 2020
1,100,000 Shares outstanding on 31 December 2020
EARNINGS PER SHARE
v Effect of stock dividend and stock split:
§ A stock dividend is the distribution of additional shares to each shareholder in an
amount proportional to their current number of shares.
§ A stock split refers to the division of each “old” share into a specific number of
“new” (post-split) shares.
§ Each shareholder’s proportional ownership in the company is unchanged by either of
these events. Each shareholder has more shares but the same percentage of the total
share outstanding.
Example: Assume the same facts as Example 7 except that on 1 December 2018, a
previously declared 2-for-1 stock split took effect. Each shareholder of record receives
two shares in exchange for each current share that he or she owns. What is the
company’s basic EPS?
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Example: During the past year, R&J Inc. had net income of $100,000, paid dividends
of $50,000 to its preferred stockholders, and paid $30,000 in dividends to its common
shareholders. R&J’s common stock account showed the following:
Time Event Number
01/01 Shares issued and outstanding at the beginning of the year 10,000
01/04 Shares issued 4,000
01/07 10% stock dividend
01/09 Shares repurchased for the treasury 3,000
Compute weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year,
and compute EPS.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
2. Diluted EPS
v Dilutive securities are stock options, warrants, convertible debt, or convertible
preferred stock that would decrease EPS if exercised or converted to common stock.
v Antidilutive securities are stock options, warrants, convertible debts, or convertible
preferred stock that would increase EPS if exercised or converted to common stock.
Net income – preferred dividends + convertible preferred dividends
+ convertible debt interest (1-t)
v Diluted EPS =
Weighted average number of shares outstanding + shares from
conversion of convertible preferred shares + shares from conversion
of convertible debt + Shares issuable from stock options
IF-CONVERTED METHOD FOR
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Example: Assume a company has the following:
§ net income of $1,750,000
§ an average of 500,000 shares of common stock outstanding
§ 20,000 shares of convertible preferred outstanding
§ no other potentially dilutive securities
Each share of preferred pays a dividend of $10 per share, and each is convertible
into five shares of the company’s common stock. Calculate the company’s basic
and diluted EPS.
IF-CONVERTED METHOD FOR
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Example: Assume a company has the following:
§ Net income of $750,000
§ An average of 690,000 shares of common stock outstanding
§ $50,000 of 6% convertible bonds outstanding that are convertible into a
total of 10,000 shares
§ No other potentially dilutive securities
§ An effective tax rate is 30%
Calculate the company’s basic and diluted EPS.
