22、ation from a beginning balance sheet and an ending statement of cash flows.20-40ANSWERS TO QUESTIONSQ4-1Under the capital maintenance concept, income for an accounting period is the amount that may be paid to stockholders (or owners) during that accounting period and still enable the corporation to

23、be as well off at the end of the period as it was at the beginning. The capital of a corporation (i.e., its assets and liabilities) at the beginning and end of the period may be measured in a variety of different ways. These alternative ways of measuring the net asset value (from which income is sub

24、sequently determined) under the capital maintenance concept are: (1) the present value of future cash flows, (2) the net realizable value, (3) the current market value, (4)the current cost, or (5) the historical cost.Q4-2In the transactional approach, a company records its net assets at their histor

25、ical cost and it does not record changes in these assets and liabilities unless a transaction, event, or circumstance has occurred that provides reliable evidence of a change in value. The transactional approach is applied using the accrual basis of accounting. In accrual accounting, a company recor

26、ds the financial impacts of transactions and other events and circumstances in the periods in which they occur rather than only in the periods in which it receives or pays cash. This is the approach to income measurement that currently is used in accounting.The transactional approach is consistent w

27、ith the capital maintenance concept based on historical cost since the income represents the difference between the beginning and ending adjusted net assets on a historical cost basis. However, the accrual-based transactional approach to income measurement is more informative because it relates (mat

28、ches) the accomplishments and the efforts so that the reported income measures the performance of a companys earnings activities.Q4-3Comprehensive income is the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions, other events, and circumstances related to nonowner sources. It includes a

29、ll changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.The intent of the FASB is twofold: (1) to develop a concept of income broad enough to include changes in value not traditionally reported in net income under the transactional approach,

30、 and (2)to allow for flexibility as to where certain components of income are reported in the financial statements.Q4-4(a)Return on investment is a measure of overall company performance. Stockholders (investors) invest capital in order to obtain a return on capital. Before a company can provide a r

31、eturn on investment, its capital must be maintained.(b)Risk is the uncertainty or unpredictability of the future results of a company. The greater the range and time frame within which future results are likely to fall, the greater the risk associated with an investment in or extension of credit to

32、the company. Generally, the greater the risk, the higher the rate of return expected.(c)Financial flexibility is the ability of a company to adapt to unexpected needs and opportunities. Financial flexibility stems from, among others, the ability to adapt operations to increase net operating cash flo

33、ws and the ability to sell assets without disrupting operations.(d)Operating capability refers to a companys ability to maintain a given physical level of operations. This level of operations may be indicated by the quantity of goods or services (e.g., inventory) produced in a given period or by the

34、 physical capacity of the fixed assets (e.g., property, plant, and equipment).Q4-5The specific guidelines for reporting (presenting) revenues, expenses, gains, and losses are:1.Those items that are judged to be unusual in amount based on past experience should be reported separately.2.Revenues, expe

35、nses, gains, and losses that are affected in different ways by changes in economic conditions should be distinguished from one another. For instance, changes in revenues are the joint result of changes in sales volume and selling prices. Information about both types of changes is helpful in assessin

36、g future operating results.3.Sufficient detail should be given to aid in understanding the primary relationships among revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. In particular, it is helpful to report separately: (a)expenses that vary with volume of activity or with various components of income, (b) exp

37、enses that are discretionary, and (c)expenses that are stable over time, or depend upon other factors such as the level of interest rates or the rate of taxation.4.When the measurements of revenues, expenses, gains, or losses are subject to different levels of reliability, they should be reported se

38、parately.Q4-5 (continued)5.Items whose amounts must be known for the calculation of summary indicators (e.g., rate of return) should be reported separately.These guidelines are intended to provide assistance in decisions about the grouping of items to show the components of net income and what eleme

39、nts should be reported separately. The benefits of any additional information should, of course, be weighed against the costs of providing the information.Q4-6Revenues are inflows of (or increases in) assets of a company or settlement of its liabilities (or a combination of both) during a period fro

40、m delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or other activities that are the companys ongoing major or central operations.The operating activities that are likely to result in revenues may be described as a companys earning process and include purchasing, producing, selling, delivering, adm

41、inistrating, and collecting and paying cash.Q4-7The two criteria that ordinarily must be met for revenues to be recognized are:1.Realization has taken place.2.The revenues have been earned.A company usually recognizes revenue at the time of sale.Q4-8Revenue might be recognized prior to the sale or a

42、fter the sale in special cases to more accurately reflect the nature of a companys operations (i.e., to increase the predictive value and representational faithfulness of the accounting information). The alternative revenue recognition methods include: (1) the percentage-of-completion method, used f

43、or certain long-term construction contracts, (2) the proportional performance method, used for certain long-term service contracts, (3) the installment method, used when the collectibility of the receivable is very uncertain, and (4) the cost recovery method, used when the collectibility of the rece

44、ivable is extremely uncertain.Q4-9Expenses are outflows of (or decreases in) assets of a company or incurrences of liabilities (or a combination of both) during a period from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or carrying out other activities that are the companys ongoing major or ce

45、ntral operations. Expenses are a measurement of the efforts or sacrifices made in the operating activities.Q4-10The three principles for recognizing the expenses to be matched against revenues, as identified by the FASB are:1.Association of cause and effect. Some costs are recognized as expenses on

46、the basis of a presumed direct association with specific revenues. Examples are sales commissions, cost of products sold, and transportation costs for delivery of goods sold to customers.2.Systematic and rational allocation. Some costs are recognized as expenses in a particular accounting period on

47、the basis of a systematic and rational allocation among the periods in which benefits are provided. Examples include depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets, and the allocation of prepaid costs.3.Immediate recognition. Some costs are recognized as expenses in the current acco

48、unting period because (a) the costs incurred during the period provide no discernible future benefits (they do not result in assets), or (b)the allocation of costs among accounting periods or due to cause and effect relationships is not considered to serve a useful purpose. Examples are managements

49、salaries and most selling and administrative costs.Q4-11Gains are increases in the equity (net assets) of a company from peripheral or incidental transactions, and from all other events and circumstances during a period except those that result from revenues or investments by owners. Losses are decr

50、eases in the equity (net assets) of a company from peripheral or incidental transactions, and from all other events and circumstances during a period except those that result from expenses or distributions to owners. Gains or losses may be classified into three categories:1.Gains or losses from exch

51、ange transactions. Examples are gains or losses on sales or disposals of fixed assets such as equipment or land.2.Gains or losses from holding resources or obligations while their values change. Examples are a loss from writing inventory down from cost to market, a gain or loss from the change in th

52、e market price of trading securities held by financial institutions, a gain or loss from a change in value of a derivative financial instrument, a loss from an impairment of property, plant, and equipment (or intangibles), and a gain or loss from a change in a foreign exchange rate between the time

53、of a credit transaction and the related cash flow.3.Gains or losses resulting from nonreciprocal transfers between a company and nonowners. Examples include those due to lawsuits, assessments of fines or damages by a court, or natural catastrophes such as earthquakes or fires.Q4-12Items included in

54、a companys income from continuing operations are1.Sales revenues (net)2.Cost of goods sold3.Operating expenses4.Other items5.Income tax expense related to continuing operationsIf the company uses a single-step format to prepare its income statement, those items are classified into two categories: re

55、venues or expenses. All operating and other revenues are itemized and summed to determine the revenues. The cost of goods sold, operating expenses, other expenses, and income tax expense are summed to determine the total expenses. The difference between the total revenues and total expenses is the i

56、ncome from continuing operations.If the company uses a multiple-step format to prepare its income statement, the format is as follows:Sales revenues (net)Less: Cost of goods soldGross profitLess: Operating expensesOperating incomeOther itemsPretax income from continuing operationsLess: Income tax ex

57、penseIncome from continuing operationsQ4-13The current operating performance concept of income emphasizes that only the normal, ordinary, recurring results of operations for the current period should be included in a companys net income on the income statement. Any unusual and nonrecurring items of

58、income or loss should be reported in the statement of retained earnings.In the all-inclusive concept all transactions increasing or decreasing a companys owners equity during the current period, with the exception of dividends and capital transactions, should be included in its net income. Unusual a

59、nd nonrecurring income or loss items are part of the earnings history of a company and their omission from the income statement might cause them to be overlooked. Consequently, they should be included in the income statement.With the issuance of APB Opinions No. 9, 20, and 30, and FASB Statement No.

60、 16, the all-inclusive concept (except for reporting prior period adjustments on the retained earnings statement) has gained prominence and is currently used in accounting practice.Q4-14Material recurring revenues and expenses (and gains and losses) that are not directly related to the primary opera
