Intermediate Accounting, 10e (Spiceland) Chapter 1 Environment and Theoretical Structure of Financial Accounting 1) The primary function of financial accounting is to provide relevant financial information to parties external to business enterprises. 2) Accrual accounting attempts to measure revenues and expenses that occurred during accounting periods so they equal net operating cash flow. 3) The FASB is currently the public-sector organization responsible for setting accounting standards in the United States. 4) The FASB's due process invites various interested parties to indicate their opinions about whether financial accounting standards should be changed. 5) Accounting for stock-based compensation is an area in which the FASB has received little political interference. 6) The Public Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley) changed the entity responsible for setting standards for auditing public companies in the United States. 7) A rules-based approach to standard-setting stresses professional judgment as opposed to following a list of rules. 8) Under federal securities laws, the SEC has the authority to set accounting standards in the United States.

9) The primary responsibility for properly applying GAAP when communicating with investors and creditors through financial statements lies with a firm's auditors. 10) Auditors play an important role in the resource allocation process by adding credibility to financial statements. 11) The purpose of the conceptual framework is to provide a structure and framework for a consistent set of GAAP. 12) In the United States, the conceptual framework indicates GAAP when a more specific accounting standard does not apply. 13) Materiality can be affected by the dollar amount of an item, the nature of the item, or both. 14) According to the FASB's Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, conservatism is a desired qualitative characteristic of accounting information. 15) Equity is a residual amount representing the owner's interest in the assets of the business. 1 Copyright 2020 © McGraw-Hill Education.

16) Revenues are inflows of assets or settlements of liabilities from activities that constitute the entity's ongoing operations. 17) Gains or losses result, respectively, from the disposition of business assets for greater than, or less than, their book values. 18) Comprehensive income is another term for net income. 19) The FASB's conceptual framework lists relevance and timeliness as the two fundamental qualitative characteristics of decision-useful information. 20) The monetary unit assumption requires that items in financial statements be measured in a particular monetary unit. 21) The periodicity assumption requires that present value calculations take into account the number of compounding periods in each year. 22) Determining fair value by calculating the present value of future cash flows is a level 1 type of input. 23) The FASB's framework for measuring fair value doesn't change the situations in which fair value is used under current GAAP. 24) The revenue/expense approach emphasizes determining the appropriate amounts of revenue and expense in each reporting period. 25) The asset/liability approach emphasizes matching to determine what assets and liabilities should be reflected on the balance sheet. 26) In IFRS, the conceptual framework indicates appropriate accounting when a more specific accounting standard does not apply. 27) Political pressure never affects the IFRS standard-setting process. 28) External decision makers would not look primarily to financial accounting information to assist them in making decisions on: A) Granting credit. B) Capital budgeting. C) Selecting stocks. D) Mergers and acquisitions.

Cantor Corporation's accountant increased the book value of a patent from its original cost of $1 million to its recently appraised value of $6 million. 2. Stanton Corporation paid for the personal travel of its chief financial officer and charged travel expense. 3. At the end of its 2021 fiscal year, Dower, Inc., received an order from a customer for $60,000. The merchandise will ship early in 2022. Because the sale was made to a long-time customer and the invoice was paid in 2021, the controller recorded the sale in 2021. 4. In the middle of its 2021 fiscal year, Sanguinetti, Inc. paid $12,000 to its insurance company for one-year comprehensive insurance coverage. Sanguinetti recorded the entire expenditure as an expense in 2021. 5.

Bloom's: Remember AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking; FN Measurement 134) Explain and show an example of how the FASB's conceptual framework is needed in formulating standards on controversial topics. Answer: In order to provide consistency, a conceptual framework (a map clearly defining beliefs or structure) must be provided. This is the foundation for a strong, logical, and fair system. For example, in debating accounting for stock-based compensation, the FASB's conceptual framework explains the rationale for treating stock options as an expense. By relating the accounting for such compensation to the purpose of financial statements and their qualitative characteristics, the FASB can defend its positions without the bias inherent in such controversial issues.

Discuss this proposition giving an example. Answer: Changes in GAAP can have significant differential effects on companies, investors, creditors, and other interest groups. The FASB must gauge the economic consequences of a change in accounting standards. The process by which financial accounting standards are created includes public comment and sometimes hearings. Ultimately, a vote must be taken to pass a proposed change in GAAP. Accounting for stock-based compensations (options) and postretirement health care benefits are examples where accounting practices have been affected by political influences on GAAP.

141) Briefly describe how materiality is featured in the conceptual framework. Answer: Materiality—Information is material if it can have an effect on a decision made by a user. Thus, materiality is an aspect of relevance. If an item is not material, GAAP need not be followed. For example, if a large corporation purchased a water cooler for one of its common areas for $120, the amount could be expensed rather than recorded as an asset even though the cooler will be useful for several years. Materiality is a judgment call. Materiality is concerned with both the dollar amount of an item and/or the nature of an item. It would probably be material if Microsoft received $1,000,000 in bribes from a Chinese company for its technology. A $1,000,000 write-off of old equipment would probably be immaterial for Microsoft.

How would it affect the quality of financial statement information? Answer: If a country experiences severe inflation, this would violate the assumption that dollar amounts are constantly valued. This would limit the usefulness of adding numbers in financial statements, because (for instance) costs at different times are not comparable without adjusting for changes in purchasing power. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: GAAP―Underlying assumptions Learning Objective: 01-08 Describe the four basic assumptions underlying GAAP. Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking; FN Measurement 143) Identify or define the following terms: periodicity, monetary unit. Answer: Periodicity—The life of a company can be divided into artificial periods to provide timely information to external users. Monetary unit—In the United States, financial statement elements should be measured in terms of the U.S. dollar. It assumes that the value of a dollar is stable over time.

144) Identify or define the following term: historical cost. Answer: Historical cost—A measurement attribute under which asset and liability measurements are based on the amount given or received in an exchange transaction. Difficulty: 1 Easy Topic: Concepts―Recognition - Measurement - Disclosure Learning Objective: 01-09 Describe the recognition, measurement, and disclosure concepts that guide accounting practice. Bloom's: Remember AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking; FN Measurement 145) How does GAAP define fair value? Answer: Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell assets or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Concepts―Recognition - Measurement - Disclosure Learning Objective: 01-09 Describe the recognition, measurement, and disclosure concepts that guide accounting practice. Bloom's: Remember AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking; FN Measurement 146) Over time, accounting standards have developed to reflect changes in the business world as well as changes in our ability to account for such changes. Using the example of marking assets and liabilities to their fair value, explain why you would expect accounting standards to change. Answer: Historically, financial accounting relied on transaction amounts (historical cost) as the fundamental measurement approach for reporting assets and liabilities. As markets have matured, it is more relevant and feasible to report some assets and liabilities at their fair values, particularly if such items have a ready market that is active.

147) List and briefly describe the five measurement attributes used commonly in current GAAP. Answer: a. Historical cost: the amount given or received in an exchange transaction. b. Net realizable value: the net amount of cash into which an asset is expected to be converted in the ordinary course of business. c. Current cost: the cost that would be incurred to purchase or reproduce an asset. d. Present value: the sum of future cash flows discounted for the time value of money. e. Fair value: the price that would be received to sell assets or transfer liabilities in an orderly market transaction. Difficulty: 3 Hard Topic: Concepts―Recognition - Measurement - Disclosure Learning Objective: 01-09 Describe the recognition, measurement, and disclosure concepts that guide accounting practice. Bloom's: Remember AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking; FN Measurement 148) List and briefly describe the three levels of inputs described in the fair-value measurement hierarchy. Answer: a. Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. b. Inputs other than quoted prices that can be observed for the asset or liability. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data that can be observed. c. Inputs that cannot be observed that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

149) Contrast the asset/liability and revenue/expense approaches to accounting standard setting. Answer: Under the revenue/expense approach, we emphasize principles for recognizing revenues and expenses, with some assets and liabilities recognized as necessary to make the balance sheet reconcile with the income statement. Much of our accounting for revenues and expenses follows this revenue/expense approach. Under the asset/liability approach, on the other hand, we first recognize and measure the assets and liabilities that exist at a balance sheet date and, secondly, recognize and measure the revenues, expenses, gains and losses needed to account for the changes in these assets and liabilities from the previous measurement date. Therefore, we should try to recognize and measure assets and liabilities appropriately, and as a result will also capture their inflows and outflows in a manner that provides relevant and representationally faithful information about revenues and expenses. Difficulty: 3 Hard Topic: Evolving GAAP Learning Objective: 01-10 Contrast a revenue/expense approach and an asset/liability approach to accounting standard setting. Bloom's: Remember AACSB: Communication AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking; FN Measurement 150) Contrast the role of the conceptual framework in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Answer: The conceptual frameworks in U.S. GAAP and IFRS are very similar and are converging even more with ongoing efforts by the FASB and IASB. However, in U.S. GAAP, the conceptual framework primarily provides guidance to standard setters to help them develop high-quality standards. In IFRS the conceptual framework guides standard setting, but in addition it is supposed to provide a basis for practitioners to make accounting judgments when another IFRS standard does not apply. Also, IFRS emphasizes the overarching concept of the financial statements providing a "true and fair representation" of the company. U.S. GAAP does not include a similar requirement, but U.S. auditing standards require this consideration. Difficulty: 3 Hard Topic: International Financial Reporting Standards―IFRS Learning Objective: 01-11 Discuss the primary differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS with respect to the development of accounting standards and the conceptual framework underlying accounting standards.

Answer: 1. $1,800 represents six months of interest on a $30,000 note, or 50% of annual interest. $1,800 ÷ .50 = $3,600 in annual interest $3,600 ÷ $30,000 = 12% interest rate Or, Principal × Rate × Time = Interest $30,000 × Rate × 6/12 = $1,800 $1,800 ÷ $30,000 = .06 six-month rate To annualize the nine month rate: .06 × 12/6 =.12 or 12% 2. $90,000 ÷ 12 months = $7,500 per month in insurance $60,000 ÷ $7,500 = 8 months expired. The insurance was paid on May 1, eight months ago. 3. Principal × Rate × Time = Interest Principal × 9% × (4/12) = $3,000 Principal × 3% = $3,000 Principal = $100,000 Or $3,000 represents four months (September through December) in accrued interest, or $750 per month. $750 × 12 months = $9,000 in annual interest Principal × 9% = $9,000 Principal = $9,000 ÷ .09 = $100,000 note Difficulty: 3 Hard Topic: Analyze updating-Record adjusting entry; Determine account balance-Analyze entries Learning Objective: 02-05 Identify and describe the different types of adjusting journal entries.; 02-06 Record adjusting journal entries in general journal format, post entries, and prepare an adjusted trial balance.

147) What is an accrued liability? Answer: An accrued liability results from an expense being incurred prior to cash payment. Examples include interest payable and salaries payable. Difficulty: 2 Medium Topic: Analyze updating-Identify type of adjustment Learning Objective: 02-05 Identify and describe the different types of adjusting journal entries. Bloom's: Remember AACSB: Reflective Thinking AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking 148) What is the difference between permanent accounts and temporary accounts, and why does an accounting system have both types of accounts? Answer: Permanent accounts represent assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity at a point in time. Temporary accounts represent changes in retained earnings caused by dividend, revenue, expense, and gain and loss accounts. The temporary accounts are closed out annually to facilitate measuring income on an annual basis. Temporary accounts are a convenience to aid the preparation of financial statements by recording revenues and expenses in these accounts rather than directly into retained earnings.

Bloom's: Understand AACSB: Communication AICPA/Accessibility: BB Critical Thinking 149) What is the purpose of the statement of cash flows? List the three major categories of cash flows and give an example of a cash transaction for each category. Answer: The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to summarize the transactions that caused cash to change during the reporting period. The statement of cash flows summarizes cash flows in three categories: operating, investing, and financing. Operating activities include cash flows related to transactions entering into the determination of net income, such as cash collections from customers, payments for purchases, and other receipts, such as interest and dividends. Investing activities include purchasing and selling equipment or certain investment securities. Financing activities include borrowing or repaying loans, issuing stock, and payment of dividends.

148) The following is the 2021 report of the independent registered public accounting firm that audited The Great Food Company, Inc., a large supermarket chain: In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and comprehensive loss, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Great Food Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (debtor-in-possession) at December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company is currently operating pursuant to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing which, together with the uncertain outcomes of the matters discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for share lending arrangements during fiscal 2020.

2. The investments represent treasury bills purchased in December 2021 that mature in January 2022. These are considered cash equivalents. 3. Interest on both the notes and the bonds is payable annually. 4. The notes payable account contains one note that is due in annual installments of $800 for each payment due. 5. Deferred revenue will be recognized equally over the next 18 months. 6. The common stock represents 500,000 shares of no par stock authorized, of which 300,000 shares are issued and outstanding. Required: Prepare a complete, corrected, classified balance sheet. Answer: Solve for missing amounts: Liabilities ÷ Equity = 1.5 $24,000 ÷ Equity = 1.5 Equity = $24,000 ÷ 1.5 = $16,000 Beginning retained earnings + net income - dividends = Ending retained earnings $4,300 + $2,500 - $800 = $6,000 Total equity - retained earnings = Common stock $16,000 $6,000 = $10,000 Assets = Liabilities + equity Assets = $24,000 + $16,000

Answer: The completed balance sheet is shown below. To solve the problem, students can start by using the debt to equity ratio to solve for total liabilities ($3,585 × 1.505718 = $5,398 in total liabilities). Then they can determine the other missing data in the bottom half of the balance sheet by subtraction. With total liabilities and shareholders' equity known, so are the total assets. The current assets can be computed by the current ratio ($2,501 × 1. 352259 = $3,382 in current assets). The quick assets can be found from the acid-test ratio ($2,501 × 0.5769692 = $1,443 in quick assets less $ 505 in cash and cash equivalents = $938 in accounts and notes receivable). With that known, students can compute the inventory balance ($3,382 − $505 − $938 − $450 = $1,489). Finally, with current and total assets determined, the long-term assets can be found, leading to the missing balance in intangible assets.

148) The following is the 2021 report of the independent registered public accounting firm that audited The Great Food Company, Inc., a large supermarket chain: In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and comprehensive loss, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Great Food Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (debtor-in-possession) at December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company is currently operating pursuant to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing which, together with the uncertain outcomes of the matters discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for share lending arrangements during fiscal 2020. 90 Copyright 2020 © McGraw-Hill Education.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Required. Interpret the main points indicated in this report by Great Food’s auditors. Answer: 1. The accounting firm has conducted an audit of The Great Food Company's financial statements, using typical auditing standards and procedures. There is no limitation indicated in what they examined. Therefore, the auditor expressed a reasonable basis for forming the opinion on these statements. 2. The statements were judged to be fairly presented, meaning that they were within a material range of accuracy relative to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 3. The Company is currently operating pursuant to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, which, together with the uncertain outcomes of the matters, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the going concern assumption on which the financial statements are based is subject to substantial doubt in this situation. 4. The Great Food Company made a change in its accounting method for share lending arrangements. 5. The audit also has examined the effectiveness of Great Food's internal controls over financial reporting, in accordance with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards, and expressed an unqualified opinion about that effectiveness.

Accounts receivable. 4. The acid-test ratio. Answer: 1. Debt to equity ratio = Total liabilities ÷ Shareholders' equity = .8 Total liabilities ÷ $350,000 = .8 Shareholders' equity × .8 = total liabilities $350,000 × .8 = $280,000 = total liabilities Total liabilities + equity = total assets $280,000 + $350,000 = $630,000 = total assets Total assets — long-term assets = current assets $630,000 — $422,000 = $208,000 = current assets Current ratio = Current assets ÷ current liabilities 1.6 = $208,000 ÷ current liabilities Current liabilities = $208,000 ÷ 1.6 = $130,000 2. Total assets = total liabilities + shareholders' equity Total assets = current liabilities + long-term liabilities + shareholders' equity $630,000 = $130,000 + long-term liabilities + $350,000 Long-term liabilities = $150,000 3. Current assets = Cash + investments + accounts receivable + prepaid expenses $208,000 = $110,000 + $22,000 + accounts receivable + $18,000 Accounts receivable = $58,000 4. Acid-test ratio = Quick assets ÷ Current liabilities Quick assets = Cash + investments + accounts receivable Quick assets = $110,000 + $22,000 + $58,000 = 190,000 Acid-test ratio = $190,000 ÷ $130,000 = 1.46 Difficulty: 3 Hard Topic: Liquidity ratios Learning Objective: 03-02 Identify and describe the various asset classifications.; 03-08 Identify and calculate the common liquidity and solvency ratios used to assess risk. 93 Copyright 2020 © McGraw-Hill Education.

Intermediate Accounting, 10e (Spiceland) Chapter 4 The Income Statement, Comprehensive Income, and the Statement of Cash Flows 1) Income from continuing operations sometimes includes gains from nonoperating activities. 2) Unlike the balance sheet, the income statement measures activity over a period of time. 3) The single-step format of the income statement first lists all the revenues and gains included in income from continuing operations. 4) The single-step format of the income statement does not separately report nonoperating gains in the revenues section of the income statement. 5) The multiple-step format of the income statement reports a series of intermediate subtotals such as gross profit, operating income, and income before taxes. 6) Revenues and expenses typically occur as a result of normal operating activity. 7) Gains and losses typically occur as a result of normal operating activity. 8) Income from continuing operations consists only of those items expected to be permanent components of earnings. 9) Interest expense typically is considered a temporary component of earnings. 10) One meaning of earnings quality is the ability of reported earnings to predict a company's future earnings. 11) Managers' income smoothing behavior results in reported earnings being manipulated higher in each year. 12) Classification shifting by managers leads to under-reporting of total expenses and over-statement of bottom-line net income. 13) Material restructuring costs are reported as an element of income from continuing operations. 14) Restructuring costs most often refer to costs associated with management's plans to materially change the scope of business operations or the manner in which they are conducted. 15) Intraperiod tax allocation is the process of associating income tax effects with the income statement components that create those effects. 16) Gains, but not losses, from discontinued operations must be separately reported in an income statement. 1 Copyright 2020 © McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.


17) A change in accounting principle that is implemented using the retrospective approach includes restating financial statements of all periods presented as if the new standard had been used in those periods. 18) A change in accounting principle that is implemented using the modified retrospective approach includes implementing the change in the current period only and not adjusting for the cumulative effects on prior periods. 19) Changes in estimates are accounted for using the prospective approach. 20) Material errors in prior periods' income statements are corrected by making an adjustment to the beginning balance of the current period's retained earnings. 21) Earnings per share disclosure is required only for income from continuing operations. 22) Comprehensive income reports an expanded version of income to include certain types of gains and losses not included in traditional income statements. 23) Comprehensive income is the total change in shareholders' equity that occurred during the period. 24) The direct and indirect methods of reporting the statement of cash flows present different information for investing and financing activities. 25) Income statements prepared according to either U.S. GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) require the separate reporting of discontinued operations. 26) International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) require a company to classify expenses in an income statement by function. 27) In a statement of cash flows prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), interest received is most often classified as an operating cash flow. 28) In a statement of cash flows prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), interest paid is most often classified as a financing cash flow. 29) A decrease in the receivables turnover ratio indicates a decrease in the time between credit sales and cash collection. 30) The decomposition of return on assets illustrates why some companies with low profit margins can be very profitable if their asset turnover is high. 31) A company could improve its return on assets by increasing its income or by increasing its total assets.
