CHAPTER 1

Questions

6. Harper Travel Agency should report the land at $85,000 on its December 31, 2017 balance sheet. This is
true not only at the time the land is purchased, but also over the time the land is held. In determining
which measurement principle to use (cost or fair value) companies weigh the factual nature of cost figures
versus the relevance of fair value. In general, companies use cost. Only in situations where assets are
actively traded do companies apply the fair value principle. An important concept that accountants follow
is the cost principle.

17. (a) Income statement. (d) Balance sheet.


(b) Balance sheet. (e) Balance sheet and retained earnings statement.
(c) Income statement. (f) Balance sheet.

18. No, this treatment is not proper. While the transaction does involve a receipt of cash, it does not represent
revenues. Revenues are the gross increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from business activities
entered into for the purpose of earning income. This transaction is simply an additional investment made
by one of the owners of the business.

19. Yes. Net income does appear on the income statement—it is the result of subtracting expenses from
revenues. In addition, net income appears in the retained earnings statement—it is shown as an addition
to the beginning-of-period retained earnings. Indirectly, the net income of a company is also included in
the balance sheet. It is included in the Retained Earnings account which appears in the stockholders’
equity section of the balance sheet.

BRIEF EXERCISE 1-3

(a) ($870,000 + $150,000) – ($500,000 – $80,000) = $600,000


(Stockholders’ equity).
(b) ($500,000 + $100,000) + ($870,000 – $500,000 – $66,000) = $904,000
(Assets).
(c) ($870,000 – $80,000) – ($870,000 – $500,000 + $120,000) = $300,000
(Liabilities).

Stockholders’ Equity
Common Retained Earnings
Assets = Liabilities + Stock + Revenues – Expenses – Dividends

(a) X = $90,000 + $150,000 + $450,000 – $320,000 – $40,000


X = $90,000 + $240,000
X = $330,000

(b) $57,000 = X + $23,000 + $50,000 – $35,000 – $7,000


$57,000 = X + $31,000
X = $26,000 ($57,000 – $31,000)

(c) $600,000 = ($600,000 x 2/3) + X (Stockholders’ equity)


$600,000 = $400,000 + X

EXERCISE 3-21

(a) The primary objective of financial reporting is to provide financial information that is useful to
investors and creditors for making decisions about providing capital. Since Net Nanny’s shares
appear to be actively traded, investors must be capable of using the information made available
by Net Nanny to make decisions about the company.

(b) The investors must feel as if the company will show earnings in the future. They must recognize
that information relevant to their investment choice is indicated by more than Net Nanny’s net
income.

(c) The change from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars for reporting purposes should make Net Nanny
more comparable with companies traded on U.S. stock exchanges.

BYP 2-5 REAL–WORLD FOCUS

(a) The reason the Green Bay Packers’ issue an annual report is because
they are a publicly owned, nonprofit company. They issue the report to
more than 100,000 shareholders who hold shares. None of the other
teams are publicly owned, so they have no obligation to make their
financial information available except to their small group of owners.

(b) At the time that the article was written the owners of the NFL teams and
the players’ labor union were negotiating a new contract. Knowing how
profitable the NFL teams are would be useful information for the
players to know so that they would have a better sense of how much
the teams could afford to play. The Packers are obviously a “small
market” team; they are not necessarily representative of teams in
general. However, the Packers’ annual report does give the players
some sense of the profitability of other teams.

(c) Since some of the cost of the stadium that the Packers play in is
covered by taxpayers, the county and state government has an interest
in the team’s finances.

(d) The Packers’ revenues increased during recent years. However,


because the cost of players’ salaries increased at a faster rate than
revenues, the Packers’ operating profit actually declined.

CHAPTER 3
Questions

4. Information presented on an accrual basis is more useful than on a cash basis


because it reveals relationships that are likely to be important in predicting future
results. To illustrate, under accrual accounting, revenues are recognized when the
performance obligation is satisfied so they can be related to the economic
environment in which they occur. Trends in revenues are thus more meaningful.
10. No. Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of an asset to expense over
its useful life in a rational and systematic manner. Depreciation results in the
presentation of the book value of the asset, not its fair value.
11. Depreciation expense is an expense account whose normal balance is a debit. This
account shows the cost that has expired during the current accounting period.
Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset account whose normal balance is a
credit. The balance in this account is the depreciation that has been recognized
from the date of acquisition to the balance sheet date.

2. Cash flow from operations is the difference between cash receipts from
revenues and cash payments for expenses (see chapter 1).
Depreciation expense is a major reason why cash flow from operations
and net income are different for these two companies. Depreciation
expense reduces a company’s net income, but does not affect cash
flow from operations since it’s a noncash expense. Other reasons
