Chapter 21
T1. Leasing equipment reduces the risk of obsolescence to the lessee, and passes the risk of
residual value to the lessor.
F2. The FASB agrees with the capitalization approach and requires companies to capitalize
all long-term leases.
F3. A lease that contains a purchase option must be capitalized by the lessee.
T4. Executory costs should be excluded by the lessee in computing the present value of the
minimum lease payments.
F5. A capitalized leased asset is always depreciated over the term of the lease by the lessee.
F6. A lessee records interest expense in both a capital lease and an operating lease.
T7. A benefit of leasing to the lessor is the return of the leased property at the end of the lease
term.
F8. The distinction between a direct-financing lease and a sales-type lease is the presence or
absence of a transfer of title.
F9. Lessors classify and account for all leases that don’t qualify as sales-type leases as
operating leases.
T10. Direct-financing leases are in substance the financing of an asset purchase by the lessee.
F11. Under the operating method, the lessor records each rental receipt as part interest
revenue and part rental revenue.
F12. In computing the annual lease payments, the lessor deducts only a guaranteed residual
value from the fair market value of a leased asset.
T13. When the lessee agrees to make up any deficiency below a stated amount that the lessor
realizes in residual value, that stated amount is the guaranteed residual value.
F14. Both a guaranteed and an unguaranteed residual value affect the lessee’s computation of
amounts capitalized as a leased asset.
T15. From the lessee’s viewpoint, an unguaranteed residual value is the same as no residual
value in terms of computing the minimum lease payments.
F16. The lessor will recover a greater net investment if the residual value is guaranteed instead
of unguaranteed.
T17. The primary difference between a direct-financing lease and a sales-type lease is the
manufacturer’s or dealer’s gross profit.
F18. The gross profit amount in a sales-type lease is greater when a guaranteed residual value
exists.
Accounting for Leases
T19. Companies must periodically review the estimated unguaranteed residual value in a
sales-type lease.
T20. The FASB requires lessees and lessors to disclose certain information about leases in
their financial statements or in the notes.
21. Major reasons why a company may become involved in leasing to other companies is
(are)
d. all of these.
22. Which of the following is an advantage of leasing?
d. All of these
23. Which of the following best describes current practice in accounting for leases?
b. Leases similar to installment purchases are capitalized.
24. While only certain leases are currently accounted for as a sale or purchase, there is
theoretic justification for considering all leases to be sales or purchases. The principal
reason that supports this idea is that
c. a lease reflects the purchase or sale of a quantifiable right to the use of property.
S25. An essential element of a lease conveyance is that the
a. lessor conveys less than his or her total interest in the property.
S26. What impact does a bargain purchase option have on the present value of the minimum
lease payments computed by the lessee?
b. The lessee must increase the present value of the minimum lease payments by the
present value of the option price.
P27. The amount to be recorded as the cost of an asset under capital lease is equal to the
b. present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset, whichever
is lower.
28. The methods of accounting for a lease by the lessee are
a. operating and capital lease methods.
29. Which of the following is a correct statement of one of the capitalization criteria?
c. The lease term is equal to or more than 75% of the estimated economic life of the
leased property.
30. Minimum lease payments may include a
d. any of these.
31. Executory costs include
d. all of these.
32. In computing the present value of the minimum lease payments, the lessee should
c. use either its incremental borrowing rate or the implicit rate of the lessor, whichever is
lower, assuming that the implicit rate is known to the lessee.
33. In computing depreciation of a leased asset, the lessee should subtract
a. a guaranteed residual value and depreciate over the term of the lease.
34. In the earlier years of a lease, from the lessee's perspective, the use of the
b. capital method will cause debt to increase, compared to the operating method.
P35. A lessee with a capital lease containing a bargain purchase option should depreciate the
leased asset over the
a. asset's remaining economic life.
36. Based solely upon the following sets of circumstances indicated below, which set gives
rise to a sales-type or direct-financing lease of a lessor?
Transfers Ownership Contains Bargain Collectibility of Lease Any Important
By End Of Lease? Purchase Option? Payments Assured? Uncertainties?
a. No Yes Yes No
37. Which of the following would not be included in the Lease Receivable account?
d. All would be included
38. In a lease that is appropriately recorded as a direct-financing lease by the lessor,
unearned income
a. should be amortized over the period of the lease using the interest method.
S39. In order to properly record a direct-financing lease, the lessor needs to know how to
calculate the lease receivable. The lease receivable in a direct-financing lease is best
defined as
c. the present value of minimum lease payments.
S40. If the residual value of a leased asset is guaranteed by a third party
d. it is treated by the lessee as an additional payment and by the lessor as realized at the
end of the lease term.
S41. The primary difference between a direct-financing lease and a sales-type lease is the
c. recognition of the manufacturer's or dealer's profit at the inception of the lease.

lessor at the end of the lease term will report sales revenue in the period of inception of
the lease at which of the following amounts?

c. the gross profit will be the same whether the residual value is guaranteed or
unguaranteed.
44. Which of the following statements is correct?
d. All of these.
45. The Lease Liability account should be disclosed as
c. current portions in current liabilities and the remainder in noncurrent liabilities.
*46. When a company sells property and then leases it back, any gain on the sale should
usually be
d. deferred and recognized as income over the term of the lease.

F1. Taxable income is a tax accounting term and is also referred to as income before taxes.
F2. Pretax financial income is the amount used to compute income tax payable.
T3. Taxable amounts increase taxable income in future years.
T4. A deferred tax liability represents the increase in taxes payable in future years as a result
of taxable temporary differences existing at the end of the current year.
F5. Deductible amounts cause taxable income to be greater than pretax financial income in
the future as a result of existing temporary differences.
T6. A deferred tax asset represents the increase in taxes refundable in future years as a result
of deductible temporary differences existing at the end of the current year.
F7. A company reduces a deferred tax asset by a valuation allowance if it is probable that it
will not realize some portion of the deferred tax asset.
T8. Companies should consider both positive and negative evidence to determine whether it

136. Assuming the decrease in accrued expenses during fiscal year 2005 included a $20,000
reduction due to taxes, compute the income tax expense for Kinney in that year.
Answer:
The reduction in accrued taxes is actually a reduction in taxes payable, a liability. Therefore,
beg. taxes payable + income tax expense – income tax deferred – income taxes paid = end.
taxes payable
Therefore, income tax expense = (end. taxes payable - beg. taxes payable) + income taxes
deferred + income taxes paid = $(20,000) + $205,000 + $406,650
= $591,650

137. Assuming the decrease in accrued expenses during fiscal year 2005 included a $14,000
reduction due to interest on debt, compute the interest expense (net) for Kinney in that year.
Answer:
The reduction in accrued expenses is actually a reduction in interest payable, a liability.
Therefore,
beg. interest payable + interest expense (net) – interest paid = end. interest payable
Therefore, interest expense =
(end. interest payable – beg. interest payable) + interest paid
= $(14,000) + 1,563,990
= $1,549,990

138. Kinney reported cost of goods sold of $168,114,150 in its fiscal 2005 income statement.
Compute its net inventory purchases during the year.
Answer:
Assuming that there were no inventory impairments, the computation is as follows:
CGS = beg. inventory + net purchases – end. inventory. Therefore,
net purchases = CGS + (end. inventory – beg. inventory)
= $168,114,150 + 355,508
= $168,469,658

139. Kinney reported cost of goods sold of $168,114,150 in its fiscal 2005 income statement.
Assuming that Kinney uses accounts payable strictly for inventory purchases and that all such
purchases are on credit, how much cash did Kinney pay during the year for inventories:
(a) to inventory suppliers?
(b) to employees?
Answer:
(a.) Assuming that there were no inventory impairments, the computation is as follows:
CGS = beg. inventory + net purchases – end. inventory. Therefore,
net purchases = CGS + (end. inventory – beg. inventory)
= $168,114,150 + 355,508
= $168,469,658
end. acct. payable = beg. acct. payable + net inventory purchases – cash paid to suppliers
Therefore,
(end. acct. payable - beg. acct. payable) + cash paid to suppliers = net inventory purchases
$1,768,676 + cash paid to suppliers = $168,469,658
Cash paid to suppliers = $168,469,658 - $1,768,676
= $166,700,982
(b.) Cash paid to suppliers and employees is $191,276,791. Therefore,
Cash paid to employees = $191,276,791 - $166,700,982
= $24,575,809

140. Since the statement of cash flows has been required only since 1988, is the reporting of cash
flows a new concept? Explain.
Answer: No. Financial reporting on a cash basis was common several decades ago. The
requirement for a cash flow statement represents a renewed emphasis on cash flow reporting.
Prior to the mid-1930s, preparing financial statements on the cash basis, rather than the
accrual basis, was a common practice.

141. Is depreciation a source of cash? Explain.
Answer: No. Depreciation is simply the systematic and rational allocation of an asset's cost.
The expenditure to acquire the item being depreciated was a use of cash. When the indirect
method is used to determine cash flows from operating activities, depreciation is added back
to net income on the statement of cash flows because it was deducted on the accrual basis
income statement but it did not require the use of cash.

142. Why is the statement of cash flows required as part of the set of external financial statements?
Answer: The FASB in statement No. 95 requires the statement of cash flows in direct response
to FASB Concept Statement No. 1, which states as the primary objective of financial reporting
to "provide information to help investors and creditors, and others assess the amounts, timing,
and uncertainty of prospective net cash inflows to the related enterprise."

143. Why are "cash equivalents" included as part of cash on the statement of cash flows?
Answer: Skilled managers will invest temporarily idle cash in short-term investments to earn a
return on those funds, rather than maintaining an unnecessarily large checking account. The
FASB views short-term, highly liquid investments that can be easily converted into cash, with
little risk of loss, to be the equivalent of cash.
Learning Objective: 2 Level of Learning: 2
144. What are the general guidelines for an investment to be considered a cash equivalent?
Answer: To be classified as a cash equivalent, an investment must have a maturity date not
longer than three months from the date of purchase. The investment must be easily convertible
into cash, with little risk of loss on the conversion. However, flexibility is permitted in
designating cash equivalents. Each company must establish a policy regarding which short-
term, highly liquid investments it classifies as cash equivalents. The policy should be
consistent with the company's customary motivation for acquiring various investments and
should be disclosed in the notes accompanying the financial statements.

145. What activities are included on the statement of cash flows under the section entitled "Cash
flows from investing activities"?
Answer: Cash flows from investing activities include the sale or purchase of operating assets,
the sale or purchase of nontrading investments, and the collection or making of loans to others.

146. What activities are included on the statement of cash flows under the section entitled "Cash
flows from financing activities"?
Answer: Cash flows from financing activities include the issuance and repurchase of stock, the
issuance and repayment of bonds and notes, and the payment of cash dividends.
Learning Objective: 6 Level of Learning: 1
147. Do "cash flows from operating activities" report all the elements of the income statement on a
cash basis? Explain.
Answer: Although the cash flows from operating activities section of a statement of cash
flows reports income statement elements on a cash basis, not all the elements from the income
statement are necessarily reported on a cash basis. No cash effects are reported for
depreciation and amortization. Further, no cash effect is reported for gains or losses from the
sale of operational assets. When these operational assets are bought and sold, the effect is
reported under "cash flows from investing activities."
Learning Objective: 1 Level of Learning: 2
148. Does the statement of cash flows report only transactions that cause an increase or decrease in
cash? Explain.
Answer:
A statement of cash flows reports transactions that cause an increase or decrease in cash.
However, some transactions that do not increase or decrease cash, but which result in
significant investing and financing activities, must be reported in related disclosure notes.
Examples of noncash transactions that are important or significant enough to be reported
include:
1) Acquiring an asset by incurring debt or issuing stock,
2) Acquiring an asset by entering into a capital lease,
3) Converting debt into common stock,
4) Exchanging noncash assets or liabilities for other noncash assets or liabilities.

In its 2005 Annual; Report to Shareholders, Netherlands Corporation included the following
information on cash flows from operations:
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH
FLOWS
(In thousands)
2005 2004
Operating activities:
Net income $ 10,680 $30,100
Adjustments to reconcile to net cash provided
by operating activities:
Depreciation and amortization 25,734 20,051
Deferred income taxes 5,156 9,885
Equity income (486 ) (864 )
Changes in operating assets and liabilities:
Receivables 17,888 (33,018 )
Inventories 39,331 (10,173 )
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (23,737 ) 13,515
Prepaids and other-net (10,913 ) 5,893
Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities 63,653 35,389
149. Explain why Netherlands Corporation subtracts equity income from its net income in its
measurement of operating cash flows.
Answer: Under the equity method, income accrues to the investor company when it is earned
by the investee company, not when dividends are distributed. In effect, Netherlands
Corporation has earned investment revenue that has been included in its income statement.
However, this amount does not involve cash until PVH receives dividends (that will be
reported as investment inflows). Therefore, Netherlands Corporation makes an adjustment to
eliminate this non-cash equity income from the company's operating cash flows.

150. Did accounts receivable increase or decrease during 2005?
Answer: The accounts receivable balance decreased during 2005. This is apparent because
adjustments for current assets are inversely related to the direction of the change in balance.
Because the adjustment for accounts receivable was positive, its balance must have decreased.
