Describe a specific accounting scenario where management intent is likely to impact the classification of an item on the balance sheet. Also discuss how the use of management intent for balance sheet classification might be abused.

Management intent plays a part in the classification of many components of the balance sheet. For example, management intent often determines whether an asset or liability is classified as current or long-term (that is, whether management intends on liquidating the asset or liability within 12 months). Another example is the classification of short-term investments, between trading securities, available for sale securities, and held-to-maturity securities. The holding gains and losses for these three classifications of investments are treated differently. Therefore, using management intent for classification purposes could be abused, for example, if an equity investment is classified as an available-for-sale security instead of a trading security. (In other words, management could claim that their intent is to not actively trade the security, when in fact they actually do.) If the security has a holding / unrealized loss, then classifying it as an available-for-sale security results in a reduction to other comprehensive income instead of net income, which could artificially inflate net income for the period.

Discuss the role of management intent in the preparation of a classified Balance Sheet, including two variations in reporting that could result, depending upon specific intentions that may be present, for at least two components of the Balance Sheet

A classified Balance Sheet separates assets and liabilities between current and non-current (or long-term). Determining whether an asset or liability is current or non-current depends very much on management intent. The classification of current is used for assets that are expected to convert to cash within 12 months or liabilities that are expected to be paid or come due within 12 months. Accounts receivable would normally be classified as current, but only if management intends on collecting the balances within 12 months. If not, then accounts receivable would be non current. Similarly, management's intention with regard to paying interest owed, for example, would determine whether the interest payable liability is reported as a current liability or a non-current liability. Even the most liquid of assets, cash, could be reported as a non-current asset if, for example, it has been set aside and restricted (for management's intention) to pay off debt or expand facilities

Describe in detail how estimates influence Balance Sheet reporting, including at least two example components from the Balance Sheet that are clearly influenced by estimation.

Almost all components of the Balance Sheet are likely influenced by estimates. Estimates are often necessary because needed information for exact determination of amounts to report will not be available until sometime in the future. For assets, estimates help to determine the value to report, in some cases using historical cost and in other cases using fair value. Estimates also can influence liabilities, in determining amounts to report for obligations. Two specific examples where estimates influence reporting on the Balance Sheet are (1) allowance for doubtful accounts, which is estimated based on either a percentage of credit sales or a percentage of accounts receivable and (2) premium on bonds payable, which is valued based on estimates of current market rates applicable to a certain variety of debt instrument. Many other examples exist

Assets not used directly in the operations of the business are called what? a. Inventories b. Investments c. Property d. Prepaid assets

Ans: Details: *Investments*- Most companies occasionally acquire assets that are not used directly in the operations of the business. These assets include investments in equity and debt securities of other corporations, land held for speculation, long-term receivables, and cash set aside for special purposes (such as for future plant expansion). These assets are classified as long-term because management does not intend to convert the assets into cash in the next year (or the operating cycle if that's longer).

On January 1 of the current year, Lafferty signs a contract to rent a building for $1,000 per month for the next three years. On that date, Lafferty pays $36,000 for rent. On January 1 when payment is made, what is the amount of the prepaid rent that should be classified as a noncurrent asset?

Ans: $24,000 Details: Whether a prepaid expense is current or noncurrent depends on when its benefits will be realized. For example, if rent on an office building were prepaid for one year, then the prepayment is classified as a current asset. However, if rent were prepaid for a period extending beyond the coming year, a portion of the prepayment is classified as an other asset, a long-term asset.

___________________ _____________________ result from the sale of goods or services on credit.

Ans: Accounts Receivable Details: *Accounts receivable* - result from the sale of goods or services on credit (discussed in Chapter 7). Accounts receivable often are referred to as *trade receivables* because they arise in the course of a company's normal trade.

A company's total assets minus its total liabilities as shown on the balance sheet is known as the ________________ value.

Ans: Book value Details: Despite its usefulness, the balance sheet has limitations. One important limitation is that a company's book value, its reported assets minus liabilities as shown in the balance sheet, usually will not directly measure the company's market value. Market value is the amount someone would be willing to pay to own the company. For a company with publicly traded stock, market value can easily be computed as the current stock price times the number of shares outstanding.

Money on hand and in banks that is available for use in the operations of the business is shown in the ___________________ account on the balance sheet.

Ans: Cash Details: The most liquid asset, cash, is listed first. Cash includes cash on hand and in banks that is available for use in the operations of the business and such items as bank drafts, cashier's checks, and money orders.

A signed contract with a customer for him to pay his balance owed (related to a previous purchase) in equal monthly installments, plus interest, over the next 24 months. Reported as what on the balance sheet?

Ans: Current Assets and Other Assets (or long term investments) Details: The described notes receivable includes payments to be received within the next year but also additional payments beyond a year. So, it would be reported as both a current asset (for the portion due within a year) and a non-current asset (for the portion due beyond a year), either as OA or LTI

An agreement to replace or repair any appliances that the company sold, for one year after the date of sale. Reported as what on the balance sheet?

Pension obligations are generally not reflected on the Balance sheet of most companies, because it is impossible to know in advance when eligible employees will retire and for how long they will live after retiring. True or False

Ans: False Details: It is true that recording pension obligations requires considerable estimation. But, so do many other amounts that we record and report. An actuary is usually hired to provide estimates for retirement ages, future salaries, and lifespans, so that an appropriate obligation can be recorded and reported.

Land held for speculation is reported in the property, plant, and equipment section of the balance sheet. True or False

Ans: False Details: Only fixed assets in use in the business can be reported in the PP&E section. Land held for speculation would likely be reported as long-term investments.

For highly-liquid companies, the quick ratio will usually be substantially higher than 1.00 and also substantially higher than the current ratio for the same date. True or False

Ans: False Details: The usual threshold for adequate liquidity using the current ratio sometimes is lower than 1.00. The bigger issue here is that the quick ratio can never be higher than the current ratio (for the same company on the same date), because they both have the same denominator but the quick ratio excludes non-liquid current assets such as inventory and prepaids from the numerator.

Another term for equity is?

Ans: Net assets Details: *Equity* - (or *net assets*), called shareholder's equity or stockholders' equity for a corporation, is the residual interest in the assets of an entity that remains after deducting liabilities. Stated another way, *equity equals total assets minus total liabilities*.

What is the role of the auditors attest function?

Ans: To provide an opinion on the financial statements Details: Auditors examine financial statements and the internal control procedures designed to support the content of those statements. Their role is to attest to the fairness of the financial statements based on the examination. The auditors' attest function for public business entities results in an opinion stated in the *auditor's *report

Notes Receivable, including any associated premium or discount, is initially recorded at fair value; however, for late Balance Sheet dates, it is NOT reported at fair value. True or False

Ans: True Details: The computation of the premium or discount associated with a notes receivable issuance is based on the present value of the future cash flows related to the note, which considers the market rate of interest for similar notes on the date of issue. As such, the initial recorded amount, with the premium or discount included, should reflect the fair value for the note. However, in later periods, the premium or discount will be amortized using the effective interest method. Because the market rates will change, though, and because the amortization process continues to use the market rate as of the issuance date, the note will not generally be reported at fair value on later dates.

Which of the following assets would NEVER be reported at fair value on the Balance Sheet? a. Held-to-Maturity Investments b. Inventory c. Patent d. Trading Securities

Ans: a Details: Held-to-Maturity investments are reported at amortized cost, which would generally not equal fair value. Inventory is reported at the lower-of-cost-or-market, so it could be at historical cost or it could be at market/fair value. A patent is generally reported at historical direct cost, offset by accumulated amortization, although it could be reduced to market value if it satisfies all of the conditions for impairment. Trading securities are reported at fair value on the Balance Sheet date, with unrealized gains and losses included in net income.

Which of the following would be the proper Balance Sheet classification for compensable vacation leave? a. Current Liability b. Non-Current Liability c. Both Current and Non-Current Liability d. Neither Current Liability nor Non-Current Liability.

Ans: b Details: Because none of the employees are expected to use vacation leave in the next year, even though they are eligible to do so, the entire liability should be classified as non-current/long-term. This is an example of using management intent or expectations to classify appropriately on the Balance Sheet.

Which of the following items should not be included in cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet? a. cashier's checks b. restricted cash c. Treasury bills d. Money market funds

Ans: b Details: Cash that is restricted for a special purpose and not available for current operations should not be included in the primary balance of cash and cash equivalents. *These restrictions could include future plans to repay debt, purchase equipment, or make investments*. *Restricted cash* is classified as a current asset if it is expected to be used within one year.
