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.

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

present value of the option price.

Page 2: @acct

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.

leased property.

30. Minimum lease payments may include a

d. any of these.

31. Executory costs include

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

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

machinery. The terms of the lease called for Penn to make annual payments of $100,000

at the end of each year for ten years with title to pass to Penn at the end of this period.

The machinery has an estimated useful life of 15 years and no salvage value. Penn uses

the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Penn accordingly

accounted for this lease transaction as a capital lease. The lease payments were

determined to have a present value of $671,008 at an effective interest rate of 8%. With

respect to this capitalized lease, Penn should record for 2008

c. interest expense of $53,681 and depreciation expense of $44,734.

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

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

needs to record a valuation allowance to reduce a deferred tax asset.

130. What method (direct or indirect) does Henchman & Co. use to present its Statement of Cash

Flows? Explain how you can tell.

Answer: Henchman & Co. uses the direct method, one of very few companies that do. One

can tell this by the fact that they simply list sources and uses of cash in the operating activities

section, rather than starting with net income and making the series of adjustments necessary to

work back to operating cash flows.

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

intended to be examples of complete student responses. It might be helpful to provide detailed

instructions to students on how brief or in-depth you want their answers to be.

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.

Learning Objective: 4 Level of Learning: 1

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."

Learning Objective: 1 Level of Learning: 2

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.

Learning Objective: 2 Level of Learning: 1

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.

Use the following to answer questions 149-150:

In its 2005 Annual; Report to Shareholders, Netherlands Corporation included the following

information on cash flows from operations:

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH

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 )

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.
