CHAPTER 3 ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS CLASS DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Google and Wal-Mart use the accrual basis of accounting. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require all but very small businesses to use the accrual basis of accounting. This is because the accrual basis provides for a better analysis and interpretation of profitability of the business as reported on the income statement. The effects of operations on the cash of the business are reported in the cash flows from operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. 2. a. Under the cash basis of accounting, revenues are reported in the period in which cash is received, and expenses are reported in the period in which cash is paid. b. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are reported in the period in which they are earned, and expenses are reported in the period in which they are incurred in producing revenues. 3. a. 2011 b. 2010 4. a. 2011 b. 2010 5. Accrual basis only: c, f Cash or accrual basis: a, b, d, e 6. Yes. Land needs no adjustment at the end of the period. 7. No. Supplies before adjustments normally represents the cost of the supplies at the beginning of the period plus the cost of the supplies purchased during the period. Some of the supplies have been used; therefore, an adjustment is necessary for the supplies used before the amount for the balance sheet is determined. 8. Adjustments are necessary at the end of an accounting period to bring accounts up to date prior to preparing financial statements. 9. Four different categories of adjustments include deferred expenses (prepaid expenses), deferred revenues (unearned revenues), accrued expenses (accrued liabilities), and accrued revenues (accrued assets). 10. Statement (b): Increases the balance of an expense account (Ex: accrued expense). 11. Statement (a): Increases the balance of a revenue account (Ex: accrued revenue). 12. Yes, because every adjustment affects expenses or revenues. 13. a. The portion of the cost of a fixed asset deducted from revenue of the period is recorded by increasing Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense is the expired cost for the period. The reduction in the fixed asset account is recorded by increasing Accumulated Depreciation rather than decreasing the fixed asset account. The use of the contra asset account facilitates the presentation of original cost and accumulated depreciation for tax and other purposes. b. No, it is not customary for the balances of the two accounts to be equal in amount. Depreciation Expense represents the current-year portion of the fixed asset cost that has expired. Accumulated Depreciation is the cumulative depreciation of the asset up to that point in time. c. Depreciation Expense appears in the income statement; Accumulated Depreciation appears in the balance sheet. 14. a. Current assets are composed of cash and other assets that may reasonably be expected to be realized in cash or sold or consumed in the near future (within a year or less) through the normal operations of the business. b. Property, plant, and equipment are composed of assets used in the business that are of a permanent or relatively fixed nature. 61

E3 25 a. $824,633,000 ($2,400,685,000 $1,576,052,000) b. No. Depreciation is an allocation method, not a valuation method. That is, depreciation allocates the cost of a fixed asset over its useful life. Depreciation does not attempt to measure market values, which may vary significantly from year to year. E3 26 a. Current asset: 1, 3, 5, 6 b. Property, plant, and equipment: 2, 4 E3 27 Since current liabilities are usually due within one year, $84,000 ($7,000 12 months) would be reported as a current liability on the balance sheet. The remainder of $266,000 ($350,000 $84,000) would be reported as a long-term liability on the balance sheet. 71

ACTIVITIES A3 1 Revenue is normally recorded when the services are provided or when the goods are delivered (title passes) to the buyer. By waiting until after the services are provided, the expenses of providing the services can be more accurately measured and matched against the related revenues. Also, at this point, the provider of the services has a right to demand payment for the services if payment hasn t already been received. Airlines, such as Delta Air Lines, normally record revenue from ticket sales after completing a flight. At this point, the boarding passes, which have been collected from the passengers, represent revenue to the airline. In addition, the expenses related to each flight, such as landing fees and fuel, would have been incurred and would be accurately measured. Note to Instructors: You might point out to students the following points related to the discussion of the adjusting process in this chapter. (1) The receipt of revenue from customers in advance of a flight represents unearned revenues to the airline. For example, the purchase of discount tickets, which often requires prepayment months in advance of the actual flight, is unearned revenue to the airline. (2) At the end of the airline s accounting period, it would have adjustments related to items such as the following: Accrued wages for employees Depreciation on airplanes, terminal buildings, etc. Unearned revenues (described above) Accrued income from transporting freight, etc. Accrued income from other airlines (When a flight is delayed or canceled, airlines often accept passengers from other airlines and then later collect the revenue from the other airlines.) Prepaid expenses related to insurance, etc. 87
A3 2 1. There are several indications that adjustments were not recorded before the financial statements were prepared, including: a. All expenses on the income statement are identified as paid items and not as expenses. b. No expense is reported on the income statement for depreciation, and no accumulated depreciation is reported on the balance sheet. c. No supplies, accounts payable, or wages payable are reported on the balance sheet. 2. Likely accounts requiring adjustment include: a. Truck (for depreciation) b. Supplies (paid) Expense for supplies on hand c. Insurance (paid) Expense for expired insurance d. Wages Accrued e. Utilities Accrued 88
A3 3 1. The answers will vary among the student groups. The objective of this case is to generate student interest and discussion of business emphases. The advantages of the do-it-yourself emphasis are as follows: a. It requires less capital equipment and training of employees. For example, expensive automotive diagnostic equipment will not have to be purchased and Auto-Mart will not have to train its employees in auto repair and service. That is, it will be easier to staff the stores with sales personnel than with mechanics. b. It emphasizes low costs and has worked well for other companies in the industry, such as AutoZone, Pep Boys, and the automobile departments of Wal-Mart and Kmart. The advantages of the do-it-for-me emphasis are as follows: a. Demographically, the population of the United States is aging. In the future, such demographics mean that more customers will be less willing to fix their own cars. That is, they would rather pay someone to fix their cars for them. b. Increased complexity of cars makes it more difficult for customers to repair their own cars. c. The margins are typically higher for service and maintenance than for retail parts (i.e., service and maintenance are more profitable). d. Kmart recently shut down hundreds of repair and service centers, thus providing an opportunity to offer customers do-it-for-me service. 2. Examples of do-it-yourself include AutoZone, Pep Boys, and Napa Auto Parts in the automotive industry. In the home improvement industry, examples include Home Depot and Lowe s. Examples of do-it-for-me include automotive dealerships and repair and service centers located at Sears and Wal-Mart. Other automotive examples include Mr. Transmission, Midas Muffler, and Brake-O. 89

CVS: 4.1% ($247,900 $6,046,200) Walgreen: 2.8% ($95,600 $3,441,000) 4. Walgreen s operating income difference of 2.8% is closer to the cash basis than is CVS s income difference of 4.1%. 5. Most analysts focus on operating income rather than net income in assessing the long-term profitability of a company. This is because operating income reflects the basic operating results and business emphasis of the company. In contrast, net income is influenced by other income and expense or income taxes, both of which may be beyond the control of the company and its management. 90
A3 5 1. Company A is Amazon.com Company B is Delta Air Lines Company C is Coca-Cola Inc. Company D is Kroger 2. Coca-Cola Inc. (Company C) is a well-established company that has generally increasing total revenue, operating income, and net income. Coke s net cash flows from operating activities is almost $7.6 billion, which Coke uses to invest in the business and pay off debt and other financing. Delta Air Lines (Company B) is experiencing a dramatic downturn in its profitability and operations because of increasing competition from low-cost airlines and a declining economy. As a result, in 2008 Delta reported an operating loss of $8,314 million and a negative net cash flows from operating activities of $1,707 million. Amazon.com (Company A) has experienced rapidly growing revenues since its inception. Kroger (Company D) has more revenues than does Coca-Cola, but it earns less per revenue dollar. This typifies the grocery industry, where grocery chains like Kroger have large volumes but low margins. For example, consider the 2008 data for Kroger and Coca-Cola. Although Kroger reported $76,000 million of revenue as compared to Coca-Cola s $31,948 million, Kroger reported operating income of only $2,451 million (3.2 cents per revenue dollar) compared to Coca-Cola s operating income of $8,446 million (26.4 cents per revenue dollar). Coke obviously has higher operating margins than does Kroger. This is what we would expect because of Coke s brand name and acceptance of its core products. Like Coke, Kroger has positive net cash flows from operating activities and continues to invest cash in its business. 91
