Why do we use Financial Statements?

FastTrack Movers & Packers Transactions Based on Kartiks business plan, you now understand that there will likely be thousands of transactions each year Kartik seems puzzled by the term transaction, so you gives him five examples of transactions that FastTrack Inc will need to record:
Kartik will start his business by putting some of his own personal money into it. In effect, he is buying shares of FastTrack Inc common stock FastTrack Inc will need to buy a few transport vehicles - truck The business will begin earning fees and billing clients for relocating their parcels from one place to another The business will be collecting the fees that were earned
The business will incur expenses in operating the business, such as a salary for Kartik, labors, expenses associated with packaging material, delivery vehicle, advertising, etc
With thousands of such transactions in a given year, Kartik is being advised to make an entry of these transactions in an accounting software on a daily basis
Why Accounting?
Understanding of companys profitability, assets and cash position
Generate sales invoices and accounting entries

Prepare statements for customers with no additional work
Can you now explain Kartik, the content and purpose of the three main financial statements Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow statement
Income Statement
Income Statement Jargons introduced!
The income statement shows the profit for the period of time under consideration
FastTrack Movers & Packers Inc. Income Statement, for year ended 31st December, 2007 Sales Cost of goods sold Gross Profit Selling,general and admin. expenses Income from operations Interest expense Income before taxes Net Income Earnings per share $ xxx $ xxx $ xxx $ xxx $ xxx $ xxx $ xxx $ xxx $ xxx
Revenues result from the entitys operating activities (selling merchandise, selling services)
Costs and expenses are incurred in generating revenues and operating the entity
The order of deduction of cost is as follows:

Cost of products sold Sales, general and administrative costs
Interest Expenses
Tax Expenses
Lets get back to our FastTrack Inc example

FastTrack Movers & Packers Revenues

Case 1: Revenues
If Kartik delivers 200 parcels in December for $5 per delivery, he has technically earned fees totaling $1,000 for that month. He sends invoices to his clients for these fees and his terms require that his clients must pay by January 15
Even though Kartiks clients won't be paying FastTrack Inc until January 15, the accrual basis of accounting requires that the $1,000 be recorded as December revenues, since that is when the delivery work actually took place
What is accrual basis of accounting? What is cash method of accounting? What is revenue recognition principle?
After expenses are matched with these revenues, the income statement for December will show just how profitable the company was in delivering parcels in December
FastTrack Movers & Packers Revenues

Case 2: Revenues
When Kartik receives the $1,000 worth of payment checks from his customers on January 15, he will make an accounting entry to show the money was received.
Receipts of $1,000 will not be considered to be January revenues, since the revenues were already reported as revenues in December when they were earned This $1,000 of receipts will be recorded in January as a reduction in Accounts Receivable (In December Kartik had made an entry to Accounts Receivable and to Sales) Dont worry, we will explain you this in a bit!
Case 3: Expenses
If Kartik hires some labor to help him with December deliveries and Kartik agrees to pay him $300 on January 3 and another $100 for pakaging and other supporting material; Total expenses of $400 expense for December deliveries
The actual date of payment of $400 does not matter What matters is when the work was done and when the corresponding expense was incurred In our case work was done in December and hence, $400 expense is counted as a December expense even though the money will not be paid out until January 3 What is matching principle?

Income Statement - Expenses

Case 4: Expenses
FastTrack Movers and Packers borrowed $20,000 from a bank to start his business on 1st December and the company agrees to pay 5% in interest, or $1,000. The interest is to be paid in a lump sum on December 1st of each year.
What is the monthly interest expense that is shown for Kartiks monthly income statement?

Case 5: Cash and Common Stock
On December 1, 2007 Kartik starts his business FastTrack Movers and Packers. The first transaction that Kartik will record for his company is his personal investment of $20,000 in exchange for 5,000 shares of FastTrack Movers & Packers common stock. There are no revenues because no delivery fees were earned by the company, and there were no expenses.

Kartik also needs to know that the reported amounts on his balance sheet for assets such as equipment, vehicles, and buildings are routinely reduced by depreciation What is Depreciation
Matching principle? Depreciation of land?
The accountant might match $2,800 ($14,000 year's revenues for five years
5 years) of depreciation expense with each

Case 8: Inventory
Kartik keeps an inventory of packing boxes not only to use it for his business but also earn additional revenues by carrying an inventory of packing boxes to sell. Let's say that FastTrack Movers and Packers purchased 1,000 boxes wholesale for $1.00 each.

Cash decreases by $1,000 and inventory increases by $1,000
No change
On 10th December, wholesale price of boxes has been risen by 20% & at today's price Kartiks could purchase them for $1.20 each. What is the value of inventory shown on balance sheet?
What is Cost Principle?
Lets say that since the time Kartik bought inventory, the wholesale price of boxes has been cut by 40% and at today's price he could purchase them for $0.60 each. What is the value of inventory shown on the balance sheet in this case?
What is the principle of Conservatism?

Balance Sheet Key questions?

Balance sheet shows the companys assets worth?
YES? NO?
Balance sheet does not provide us with the fair market value of the company?
Long-term assets reported at their cost minus amounts already sent to Income Statement as depreciation expense The asset Land is not depreciated, so it will appear at its original cost even if the land is now worth one hundred times more than its cost However, Short-term asset amounts are likely to be close to their market values, since they tend to "turn over" in relatively short periods of time
Is reputation cost captured in Balance Sheet Brand, Logo etc?
