Reporting on the balance sheet
Short-term investments are current assets. They appear on the balance sheet immediately after cash. They are reported at current market values.

Short-term investments
Reporting on the income statement
Interest revenue (for short-term investment in debt securities) is reported in the income statement as financial revenue (or interest revenue). Dividend revenue (for short-term investment in equity securities) is reported in the income statement as other revenues. Realized / unrealized gains (or losses) for changes between carrying amount and current market values are reported in the income statement as other revenues (or losses).

Accounts and notes receivable


Receivables Receivables monetary claims against a business
or an individual, acquired mainly by selling goods or services, and by lending money.

Accounts and notes receivable


Types of receivables Accounts receivables also referred to as trade
receivables.

Notes receivables - a written promise to pay a

definite sum at the maturity date. For this purpose, a debtor may be required to pledged security for the loan giving the creditor a collateral - a permission to claim certain assets if the debtor fails to pay the amount due. Short-term notes are reported as current assets

Accounts and notes receivable


Types of receivables
Installment notes only the amount receivable in the following year is reported as current assets, the rests being reported as noncurrent assets. Long-term notes are reported as noncurrent assets (long-term investment) with the current portion (amount receivable in the following year) reported as current.

Other receivables miscellaneous category


that includes advances to employees, etc.

Accounts and notes receivable


Establishing internal control over collections
The supervisor could open incoming mail and make daily bank deposits Bookkeeper should not be allowed to handle cash. Only remittance advices would be forwarded to the bookkeeper to credit customer accounts. Or A bank lockbox can be established. Customers can then send their payments directly to the companys bank which prepares a remittance advice. Bank then forwards the remittance advice to the companys bookkeeper who credits the customer account.

Accounts and notes receivable


Managing the risk of not collecting
Extend credit only to credit-worthy customers by running a credit check on prospective customers. Separate cash handling and accounting duties designed to keep employees from stealing cash collections. Pursue collection from customers to maximize cash flow by keeping an eye on their paying habits, send second, third , (or fourth?) statements, if necessary. Consider cost and benefits, however in doing the abovementioned.

Using ratios to make decisions


Days sales in receivables Days sales in receivables or the collection
period, is the ratio of average net accounts receivable to one days sales; indicates how many days sales remain in accounts receivables awaiting collection.

the shorter is the days sales in receivables, the better length of collection period depends on a companys credit terms

Using ratios to make decisions


Formula
Net sales 365 days

One days sales

Days' sales in average receivables

Average receivables One days sales

Using ratios to make decisions


Accounts receivables turnover Accounts receivable turnover captures the
same information with days sales in receivables; measures the speed of collection by the number of times of collections made during the year.

Using ratios to make decisions


Formula
Net sales Average net accounts receivables

Account receivables = turnover

Using ratios to make decisions


Acid-test (or quick ratio) Acid-test ratio ratio of the sum of cash plus
short-term investments plus net current receivables to total current liabilities, indicates whether the entity can pay all its current liabilities if they come due immediately.

the higher is the ratio, the easier it is to pay current liabilities 1.0 is safe

Using ratios to make decisions


Formula
Cash + short term investments + Net current receivables Total current liabilities

Acid-test ratio

Reporting on the statement of cash flows


Important points
Collections of accounts receivables are operating cash inflows. Collections from notes are investing cash inflows as long as the notes are received other than the usual course of business (long-term notes, in most cases). Interest received from notes are treated as operating cash inflows.

based on the sales price of the inventory sold based on the cost of inventory sold

Cost of good sold in the income statement is Gross profit also called the gross margin is
the excess of sales revenue over cost of goods sold. cost of goods still on hand.

Accounting for inventory


Inventory accounting systems Periodic inventory system an inventory
system in which the business does not keep a continuous record of the inventory on hand. Instead, at the end of the period, the business makes a physical count of the inventory on hand and applies the appropriate unit costs to determine the cost of the ending inventory.

Perpetual inventory system an inventory

system in which the business keeps a continuous record for each inventory item to show the inventory on hand at all times.

What goes into inventory cost?
Purchase price + Freight-in - Purchase returns - Purchaser allowances - Purchase discounts

Inventory costing
Inventory methods Specific-unit-cost method based on the
specific cost of particular units of inventory. See exhibit 6-6.

Average-cost method based on the average


cost of inventory during the period. Average cost is determined by dividing the cost of goods available by the number of units available. Also called the weighted average method.

Inventory costing
Inventory methods FIFO method the first costs into inventory are
the first costs out to cost of goods sold. Ending inventory is based on the cost of the most recent purchases. Offers a more up-to-date inventory figures. In periods of rising prices, taxes are highest.

LIFO method the last costs into inventory are


the first costs out to cost of goods sold. Ending inventory is based on the oldest costs. Offers a more realistic net income figure. In periods of rising prices, taxes are lowest. Other countries dont allow its use, i.e. UK, Australia.

Inventory costing
LIFO liquidations
When LIFO is used and inventory quantities fall below the level of the previous period, a company has to dip into older layers of inventory costs to be matched against current selling prices. In periods of rising prices, dipping into lower cost layers can inflate profits.

Inventory valuation
LCM
Inventory must be reported at market value when market is lower than cost.

Defined as current replacement cost (not sales price).

Can be applied three ways: (1) (2) separately to each individual item. to major categories of assets. to the whole inventory.

Dictated by the conservatism principle.

Chapter 7 Plant Assets, Natural Resources, and Intangibles

Chapter objectives
determine the cost of plant asset account for depreciation select the best depreciation method analyze the effect of plant asset disposal account for natural resources and depletion account for intangible assets and amortization report plant assets transactions on the statement of cash flows

Terminology
Plant assets or fixed assets are long-lived assets,
such as land, buildings, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, land improvements, and natural resources used in the operations of a business. Except for land, plant assets are depreciable.

Intangible assets assets with no physical form,


carrying special rights to current and expected future benefits, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, and goodwill. Except for goodwill, intangible assets are amortizable.

Valuation of plant assets


Land
The cost of any asset is the sum of all the costs incurred to bring the asset to its intended use. The cost of land includes the following: purchase price (cash plus any note payable given, if any) brokerage commission survey fees legal fees any back property taxes that the purchaser needs to pay expenditures for grading and clearing the land and for demolishing or removing unwanted buildings.

Valuation of plant assets


Land
Land is not expensed over time because its usefulness does not increase.

Valuation of plant assets


Buildings
The cost of a constructed building includes the following: architectural fees, building permits, contractors charges, payments for material, labor, and overhead, plus any interest related to money borrowed to finance the construction if the company constructs its own building.

Valuation of plant assets


Buildings
The cost of a purchased building whether old or new, includes the following: purchase price, brokerage commission, sales and other unpaid taxes, and all expenditures to repair and renovate (in case of an old one) the building for its intended purpose.

Valuation of plant assets


Buildings
Building is to be depreciated over its estimated economic life.

Valuation of plant assets


Machinery and equipment
The cost of machinery and equipment includes the following: purchase price (less any discounts) plus transportation and insurance while in transit sales and other taxes, purchase commission, installation costs and any expenditures to test the asset before it is placed in service, any special platforms After the asset is up and running, any insurance, taxes, and maintenance costs are recorded as expenses.

Valuation of plant assets


Machinery and equipment
Machinery and equipment is to be depreciated over its estimated economic life.

Valuation of plant assets


Land improvements
This account includes costs for such other items as: driveways, signs, fences, sprinkler systems Although these assets are located in the land, they are depreciable hence their cost should be depreciated.

Valuation of plant assets


Leasehold improvements
This account includes costs of improvements for such items embedded in a leased (rented) asset. The cost of leasehold improvements should be depreciated over the term of the lease. Most companies call the depreciation on leasehold improvements as amortization.

Valuation of plant assets


Lump-sum purchases of assets Relative-sales-value method - if several
assets are purchased for a single amount, the cost for each asset is calculated based on their respective relative sales / market values.

Capital expenditure vs. immediate expense


Capital expenditure Capital expenditure is an expenditure that
increases an assets capacity, or its efficiency, or extends its useful life. This kind of expenditures are additions to the particular asset account.

Capital expenditure vs. immediate expense


Immediate expense
This kind of expenditure do not extend an assets useful life, nor make it more capable or efficient. It merely maintain the asset (maintenance expense) or restore it to working order (repair expense), hence recorded as ordinary expense.

Measuring plant asset depreciation


Meaning and causes of depreciation Depreciation is the process of allocating a
plant assets cost to expense over its life. Depreciation is caused by: Physical wear and tear Obsolescence

Measuring plant asset depreciation


Factors necessary in measuring depreciation
Cost of the asset Estimated useful life Estimated residual value An assets depreciable cost is equal to its cost less any residual value.

Other issues in accounting for plant assets


Depreciation for tax purposes
For taxation purposes, most companies use an accelerated depreciation method. Note that financial accounting differs from taxation, hence a company may use straight-line for accounting purposes (i.e. preparing financial statements for shareholders), while using an accelerated method for taxation purposes.

Other issues in accounting for plant assets


Depreciation for partial year
The technique is to first compute for the depreciation for a whole year and prorate the figure by the number of months passed divided by 12 months.

Other issues in accounting for plant assets


Fully depreciated plant assets
A fully depreciated asset is an asset that has reached the end of its estimated useful life (where cost = accumulated depreciation) An asset with zero value does not mean that it is useless or worthless, hence if still being use, can be reported in a companys balance sheet. If not, it should be taken out from the balance sheet.

Accounting for natural resources


Natural resources Natural resources are plant assets of a special
type, i.e. iron ore, petroleum, timber, etc.

Accounting for natural resources


Depletion of natural resources
Natural resources will be depleted eventually, hence the computation of depletion expense and accumulated depletion. Depletion is calculated in the same way as the unitof-production method of depreciation.

Accounting for intangibles


Intangibles
Intangibles includes: Patents Copyrights Trademarks and trade names Franchises and licenses Goodwill

Accounting for intangibles


Amortization of intangibles
As a rule, identifiable intangibles are to be amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or legal lives, but not to exceed 40 years. Conflicts however shall be noted: Patents amortized over its useful life, or legal life of 20 years (US) Copyrights - amortized over its useful life, or legal life of 70 years (US) Trademarks and trade names amortized over its useful life or not at all if expected to generate cash flow indefinitely Franchises and licenses useful life in most cases is indefinite hence need not be amortized. Goodwill to be tested for impairment annually and not amortized

Others
Research and development costs
R&D costs are expensed when incurred, except in limited circumstances, i.e. R&D is made in behalf of a client who guarantees that such costs will be recovered from him/her.

Others
Reporting plant assets transactions in the cash flow statement
Depreciations, amortizations, depletions, gains and losses on sale or disposals are adjustments in calculating cash flow from operations (using indirect method). Acquisitions in cash are investing cash outflows Sales in cash are investing cash inflows.
