NOTES, EXMPLES and EXERCISE NSWERS

Exercise One page 53 Read the resource information relating to Frater Building and Forestry Ltd. You are required to (a) Calculate for each year 1999 1998 gross profit percentage 34.57% 35.91% net profit percentage 2.22% 4.94% percentage of interest to sales 5.62% 3.73% return on total assets 2.61% 3.66% return on average equity 1.26% 3.11% (b) Comment on the profitability of the business and suggest reasons for the trends shown The fall in gross profit percentage indicates a fall in prices as a result of less demand from sian countries. Sales also fell substantially for the same reason. The lower sales and lower gross margin coupled with an increase in interest expense percentage, led to a much lower net profit and net profit percentage. Interest expense percent has increased with some increase in term debt (more interest) and lower sales. The falling net profit also led to decreasing returns on total assets and equity. Overall a bad year profit wise for Frater Building due to a huge loss in sales to their main export markets sian countries in a financial crisis and unable to purchase logs. (c) Calculate for each year (answer to nearest whole number) 1999 1998 inventory turnover 3 times p.a 4 times p.a accounts receivable turnover 41 days 38 days (d) Comment on the management of inventory and accounts receivable. Lower sales has meant slower inventory turnover many sian customers no longer buying. Since inventory levels have decreased the business is aware it has suffered a loss of sales turnover and not overstocked. ccounts receivable are taking slightly longer to pay, again may be many sian customers are slower paying or even more likely to become bad debts. (e) Calculate for each year (to two decimal places) 1999 1998 current ratio 1.91:1 2.02:1 liquid ratio 0.97:1 0.99:1 equity ratio 0.58:1 0.59:1 (f) Comment on the liquidity and financial structure of the business. Company should be able to meet current and immediate debts when due there is little change in liquid ratio, a slightly bigger fall in the current ratio from the decreased holdings of inventory. Equity ratio indicates owners have financed a good proportion of the business assets. Long-term financial stability is not in doubt. Most external finance is long term and costing the business more in interest. Level 3 ccounting nalysis and Interpretation Solutions page 37

NOTES, EXMPLES N EXERCISE NSWERS

Exercise One PRCTICE EXERCISES Short answer questions based on the notes and examples handout 1. Going concern is the underlying assumption that the business will continue to operate into the foreseeable future. t each balance sheet date management is required to assess whether or not the business is a going concern and provided there is nothing to suggest the business will be liquidated in the next year, the financial statements are prepared on the going concern assumption. 2. The accrual basis reports the effects of transactions and other events in the periods to which they relate. Both cash and credit transactions are reported in financial statements of the period to which they relate. The accrual basis is used to report assets, liabilities, expenses and income so that users are informed of both past transactions involving the payment and receipt of cash and of obligations to pay cash in the future and of resources that represent cash to be received in the future. Financial statements prepared on the accrual basis provide the type of information about past transactions and other events that is most useful to users in making economic decisions. 3. (a) Information needs to be relevant to the economic decision making needs of users. Information which is relevant helps users evaluate past, present or future events or is used to confirm or correct their past evaluations. Users need information to help them make economic decisions about the future so the information should be able to be used in this way. Information about past transactions and present asset holding in financial statements can help users to predict the ability of the entity to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. Information about past financial performance is often used to predict future financial performance. To be relevant, information also needs to be material that is able to influence the decisions users will make based on the information. Users do not want to have to wade through a whole range of immaterial information to find the key pieces they need to make economic decisions. While not related to financial statements themselves, for example the credit manager who wants to chase up slow payers does not need a list of all the debtors who regularly pay on time. Information also needs to be timely or it will lose its relevance information which takes too long to arrive, will be of no use to users who have had to make decisions in the mean time. (b) Information needs to be faithfully represented meaning it is (i) (ii) (iii) complete meaning all necessary details explaining the information is provided neutral meaning there is no bias in selecting or presenting the information free from error meaning there is no error or omission in the descriptions of the information so it can be used for decision making with confidence (c) The information in the general purpose financial statements needs to be readily understandable to users so that they are able to use it to make economic decisions. On the other hand, users can be expected to have a reasonable knowledge of business and economic activities and accounting and a willingness to study the information with reasonable diligence. Complex information that is relevant to making economic decisions should not be left out on the grounds that it would be difficult for users to understand. (d) Information needs to be able to be compared from one period to the next within an entity and between entities to determine similarities and differences between the information and the same information in other reports. To allow comparability of information it needs to be prepared and treated consistently from one period to the next. 4. n items materiality is determined by its ability to influence the economic decisions of users. If the item is likely to influence users decisions based on the financial statements, either because of its nature and/or its size, the item should be disclosed separately either in the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements. 5. Internally generated goodwill cannot be faithfully represented. Neutrality is an important component of faithful representation. The measure would not be neutral as it would not be free from bias the business may well want to place a higher value on this goodwill than it warrants. No market transaction occurs in Level 3 ccounting Conceptual Framework Solutions page 41

relation to internally generated goodwill so while not necessary, it is difficult to provided a fair value for the goodwill. 6. (a) Historical cost refers to the cost of acquisition or transaction cost of assets, expenses, liabilities and revenues it will faithfully represent a market transaction as there will be a source document that can be referred back to which is neutral when the market transaction has taken place between two independent parties. It will mostly also be relevant if it relates to expenses, income, assets and liabilities acquired in the current period. It only becomes out of date, and possibly not relevant if you do not regularly revalue assets like land and buildings, and ensure that the depreciated historical cost of other property, plant and equipment is a good reflection of their fair value. (b) ccountants should make general purpose financial statements understandable to shareholders, potential investors and others who may be interested in doing business with the entity, however simplification should not allow any material item of information to be omitted and accountants can assume users will have a basic knowledge of financial statements and a reasonable knowledge of business and economic activities. (c) llowing for doubtful debts meets the recognition criteria for assets which states that assets should be reported at their probable future economic benefit which can be reliably measured. The probable future economic benefit to flow to the entity in the form of cash from accounts receivable is the historical cost of accounts receivable less allowance for doubtful debts. This is called their estimated realisable value which is using the realisable value measurement base to report the accounts receivable asset. The allowance for doubtful debts has a reliable measure based on past experience of bad debts, the age of accounts receivable and the current economic climate. Exercise Two Short answer questions based on the New Zealand Framework paragraphs 9 21 1. The resource providers for whom general purpose financial statements are prepared are current and potential shareholders, investors, creditors and lenders of finance to the entity. 2. The objective of financial statements to provide information about the financial position, performance and changes in financial position of an entity that is useful to resource providers in making economic decisions. Financial statements assist resource providers in assessing the financial position, performance and cash flows of the entity. Financial statements also allow resource providers to make decisions regarding providing resources to or doing business with the entity. 3. ll users of financial statements require those financial statements to assist them in making economic decisions regarding the future. Relevant If the information is not relevant it will not assist in the making of the decision relevant information assists in evaluating the past, present or future and allows decision makers to confirm or correct their past evaluations. Material information needs to be included as information which can influence the decision must be given or a wrong decision could be made. Information needs to be timely or it will lose its relevance. Managers cannot make valid decisions to move the business forward, if the information they have is not relevant to the business, up-to-date, and able to assist with the decisions they are required to make. Faithfully represented If the information is not faithfully represented then the decisions made could be invalid. Faithfully represented information will be complete so users know they have been given all the explanations they need to make decisions based on the information; neutral so that it is not biased towards some specified outcome; and it will be free from error ensuring the information has been correctly described so decisions can be made. Understandable If the information is not understandable by users who have a reasonable knowledge of the business and economic activities they are not going to be able to use it at all as they will not know what it means.

Comparable ecisions makers including management, need to be able to compare the information from one year to the next for the same entity and with other entities so they need to know that the information has been prepared in a consistent way. Managers in particular need to identify trends in income and expenses to ensure that the business is continuing to remain profitable and the decisions they are making are allowing the business to grow. 4. ccountability is the requirement of one party to account to another party for its actions. Management is required to account to the shareholders as to how they have made the best use of the resources the company has. Financial statements show the results of the stewardship of management, or the accountability of management for the resources entrusted to it. Financial statements show whether sales/income/revenue is increasing, whether profit and return on assets/equity is improving, the ability of the business to generate positive cash flows, the stability of the business all of which reflect management ability to make to best use of the resources of the business. Those users who wish to assess the stewardship or accountability of management do so in order that they may make economic decisions; these decisions may include, for example, whether to hold or sell their investment in the entity or whether to reappoint or replace the management. 5. (a) a statement of financial position provides information about the financial position of the business, including information about the assets, liabilities and equity of the business at balance sheet date. (b) a statement of comprehensive income statement provides information about the financial performance of the business, including its income, expenses and profit over the year/period ended on balance sheet date and items of other comprehensive income such as increases in revaluation surpluses of land and buildings so the assets are reported at fair value. (c) a cash flow statement provides information about the various cash flows including cash flow generated from operating activities, cash flow generated from investing activities and cash flow generated from financing activities. It shows where the business has spent its cash and from where it has received its cash. It provides users with information to determine the likely future ability of the business to continue paying dividends, to continue operating and paying its suppliers and employees and the ability to finance property, plant and equipment to allow the business to continue to grow. 6. Employees may be interested in the businesses future development, in what areas expansion is planned, how the business contributes to the community the employees belong to. This information is often included in the management commentary in the annual report and provides information for employees regarding the business and its relationship to the community it operates in. Employees may also be interested on how the business impacts on the environment particularly if those employees are keen to work for a company which takes care of the environment and its waste 7. Customers are interested in whether or not the entity is a going concern, especially for example if they have bought goods with a warranty or if they want to continue buying from the entity. Customers may also be interested in the entity s environmental and social responsibility goals and sponsorship programmes 8. They would be interested in the company s impact on the environment so would want to see environmental and/or sustainability reports and other information regarding how the business has acted as a responsible citizen in terms of managing scarce and/or endangered natural resources and contributed to preserving the Level 3 ccounting Conceptual Framework Solutions page 43

Exercise Three page 77 Short answer questions on components and limitations of financial statements 1. Bad and doubtful debts are classified as an administrative expense, because the manager responsible for allowing credit will be in the administrative department of the business the credit manager works in administration and makes decisions about who is allowed to have credit and it is administration that sends out accounts to debtors and chases them up and monitors slow payers, hence bad debts and doubtful debts stem from the administrative department/activities of the business so are classified as an administrative expense. 2. The use of property, plant and equipment is often shared between various functions in the income statement. For example the building may house the factory, administrative office and the retail space so the depreciation on buildings is split between all three functions the factory component goes to cost of sales, the retail space goes to distribution costs and the office space goes to administrative expenses. epreciation on manufacturing plant needs to be included in cost of sales as it is a production cost in a manufacturing business it will be included in the cost of sales as part of production costs which become cost of sales when the goods are sold. epreciation on shop fittings and fixtures on the other hand is included in distribution costs, while depreciation on office equipment is included in administrative expenses. 3. Explain why inventory of a jeweller is classified as a current asset even if it may take more than one year to sell some items. current asset is defined as an asset which will be realised within the normal operating cycle of the business for a jeweller the normal operating cycle the time taken to convert all its inventory into cash may be longer than one year. 4. The current portion of term debt is due for repayment/settlement within the next twelve months and a current liability includes all those amounts which will be settled in the next year. 5. Explain how the following question from a company manager to his accountant illustrates a limitation of the balance sheet: our latest range of products have been a huge success with large numbers of new customers, why can t we report this in our balance sheet? This is internally generated goodwill and there is no transaction which can be represented faithfully by this huge success so there is no reliable measure of the goodwill without a reliable measure the goodwill cannot be recognised as an asset in the balance sheet. 6. Explain a limitation of the income statement related to the latest range of products. The income statement only shows the dollar impact of the sales of the product, it does not show that they have been a huge success with many new customers, although if income has increased substantially the reason behind this will be the success of the new product. The explanation of the increase in sales is not shown in the income statement, but the result of the increase in sales is. If the product were being sold at a cheaper price than other products, thus attracting the many new customers, then the numbers in the income statement may not have increased as much the quantity may have increased without an equally proportional increase in sales. 7. The main limitation of the statement of cash flow is that it is a historical statement showing what has been received and what money has been spent on. It does not show the quality of that spending and it does not show future cash commitments the business may have. budget would be needed to see this information.
