Note: This journal entry assumes that the three-year warranty period for all machines sold in 2021 has now expired. The balance of the provision must be reduced to zero once the warranty period ends. If there were still machines with remaining warranty rights, the balance of the provision would be carried forward to 2024 until the warranty period expired.
- 2021 warranty liability =

Because the option of cancelling the contract and continuing to make sales results in a profit, this is not an onerous contract. No journal entry is required.

Ratio 2021 2020 Current 1.14 1.13 Quick 0.74 0.79 Days' sales uncollected 66 days 58 days Days' payable outstanding 140 days 120 days Current: 2021 2020 Quick: 2021 2020 Days' sales uncollected: 2021 2020 Days' payable outstanding: 2021 2020 - The company's cash decreased from the previous year, but this does not reveal much. The ratio analysis, however, does reveal some worrying trends in liquidity. The current ratio has been maintained at almost exactly the same level as the previous year, but it is only slightly above 1. This may indicate that the company will have difficulty meeting its short-term obligations when they come due. The quick ratio further emphasizes this point. The quick ratio declined from the previous year and is now less than 1. This means the company would not be able to fully pay its current obligations if they were to become immediately due. This could cause problems with trade creditors and the company's bank, which could lead to further actions taken by those parties that could negatively affect the business.
The collection period for receivables has also slowed by 8 days from the previous year, which indicates that it is taking longer to collect from customers. This trend will further exacerbate any cash flow problems the company has in meeting its current payment obligations. The actual collection period of 66 days may be reasonable, but the company's credit terms and general industry conditions would need to be examined to see if this is in line with what is expected for this type of business.
The payment period for the company's suppliers shows the most alarming trend. The company is now taking 140 days to pay its payable, an increase of 20 days over the previous year. This could indicate serious cash flow problems, and may cause loss of credit with suppliers which could, ultimately, result in an inability to obtain a supply of inventory. The standard credit terms offered by suppliers will need to be examined to put this calculation into context. As well, the supplier list should be examined to see if there are any related parties involved that are granting more favourable credit terms than would be normally expected.
Overall, the company appears to have some problems in managing its working capital, which could lead to more serious liquidity problems in the future. The company seems to be using trade creditors as its main source of short term financing, which may cause a degrading of the company's credit and reputation with those suppliers. However, more information is required to fully understand these trends.
Chapter 13 Exercises
- Financing is generally obtained through three sources: borrowing the funds, issuing shares, and using internally generated funds. Using borrowed money to leverage, where the interest rate from the borrowing is less than the return from generating the profit, can maximize the returns paid to shareholders, and the related interest paid is tax deductible. However, borrowed funds must be repaid, which affects the company's liquidity and solvency risk. Issuing shares, on the other hand, does not impact liquidity and solvency risk, but it may result in the dilution of ownership and associated lower market value and less dividends per share. Using internally generated funds may be appropriate if the company has excess cash profits and has determined that this project is the best use for these funds.
- Based on the information provided, borrowing is the most suitable source of financing for Evergreen Ltd. With a debt to total assets ratio of 56%, Evergreen Ltd. is underleveraged as compared with competitors operating in the same industry, averaging 60%. As a result, Evergreen Ltd. will likely be able to finance the expansion by borrowing and still maintain an acceptable level of liquidity and solvency risk lower than, or equal to, the 60% industry standard benchmark. If Evergreen Ltd. has significant amounts of property, plant, and equipment, it may be able to obtain the loan and secure it with its existing tangible assets. However, more information would be required before making a concrete recommendation.
- The market interest rate at the time of signing the note would have been 5% because the note was issued at face value, meaning that the 5% stated rate was the same as the market rate at that time.
- The yield is the same as the market or effective rate, which is 5% in this case. Had the market rate been greater or lower than the face rate, the yield would be equal to the market rate.
- The current portion of the long-term debt is the principal portion of the debt that will be paid within one year of the reporting (balance sheet) date. In this case, as no principal portions are due until the note's maturity on January 1, 2024, no amount will be reported as a current portion of long-term debt as at the December 31, 2021, reporting date. However, when the balance sheet at December 31, 2023, is prepared, the long-term note payable of $400,000 will be classified as a current liability because it will be due within one year of the December 31, 2023, reporting date.
-
Face value of bond $ 500,000 Present value of bond 535,531 Premium $ 35,531
- If the note face value is $120,000, the duration is three years, and the PV is equal to $95,260, the interest rate would be:
Interest rate = (+/- 95,260 PV, 3 N, 120,000 FV) = 7.999 (or 8%)
-

PMT = (+/- 25,000 PV, 3 N, 8 I/Y) = 9,700.84 (or 9,701)
Payments each December 31 would be $9,701.
-
To calculate the market rate (yield) at the time of the issuance to two decimal places:
I/Y = (+/- 196,000 PV, 7,000 PMT, 10 N, 200,000 FV) = 3.74%

Note: There is no current portion of long-term debt in this case because there is no pay-down of the principal. Looking at the payment schedule, the balance owing is increasing due to the amortization of the discount.

Hobart Services Ltd. Statement of Financial Position As at December 31, 2021 Current liabilities: Interest payable $ 20,000 Long-term liabilities: Long-term bonds payable, 5%, due January 1, 2041 $ 785,442 - When a note or bond is issued, the brokerage fees and any other directly attributable costs should be included in the fair value and amortized over the life of the debt. As a result, these types of additional costs will affect both the amount of the bond discount (or premium) amortized and the interest expense over the term of the bond. Exceptions to this are where the debt will subsequently be measured at fair value under the fair value option. In this case, the transaction costs would be expensed at the time of issuance and not included in the initial fair value measurement. [CPA Handbook, Accounting, Part II, Section 3856.07 and Part I, IFRS 9].

- ASPE
- IFRS (IFRS 9)
- The risk for Tribecca increased in this case, so the fair value of its debt owing decreased. The offsetting entry to the decrease (debit) to bonds payable is an unrealized gain. An entry booking a gain seems like an illogical outcome, given that the company is now worse off than before due to higher risk.
- Under IFRS, this debt is to be reported as a current liability on the December 31, 2021, financial statements because it was not refinanced by the reporting date. The only exception is if the refinancing was done under an agreement that existed at December 31, 2021, and the decision about the refinancing was solely up to management's discretion.
- Under ASPE, this debt can be reported as a long-term liability because it has been refinanced on a long-term basis before the financial statements are completed. In this case, the entity's financial statements are not yet finalized, so ASPE would permit the debt to be included with long-term liabilities.
Settlement or modification:
Old debt: $25,000 (amount due):
New annual interest payment:
New debt (PV using the old rate): PV (1,080 PMT, 8 I/Y, 3 N, 18,000 FV) = 17,072
The new debt is more than 10% difference of the old debt's value, so the renegotiation would be considered a settlement and not a modification in terms. A settlement requires the old debt to be removed from the records and the present value amount of the note payable with the new terms be recorded.
The PV of the new note payable at the current market rate would be:
PV (1080 PMT, 7 I/Y, 3 N, 18,000 FV) = 17,527.62
The entries would be:
- Initial fair value amount of the house on January 1, 2021:
PV = (5.75%, 6 N, 800,000 FV) = $ 572,015 Dec 31, 2021 Interest: () = 32,891 Carrying value of the note, Dec 31, 2021 = $ 604,906 - The assessed value for the house of $590,000 is only a tax assessment notice for purposes of tax levies and payments. Though it is intended to reflect some sort of value of the house, it may not necessarily be an accurate measure. The more accurate measure in this case would be the present value of the future cash flows of the note, using a known, agreed-upon bank rate. The tax assessment amount of $590,000 can be compared to the present value of $572,015 for consistency and reasonableness. In this case, the amounts are close.
- The purchase price of the equipment should be recorded at the present value of the future cash flows of the instalment note at the imputed interest rate of 7%. This is the best measure of the fair value of the asset because it represents the present value of an agreed series of future cash flows at a known market rate. The listing price represents a tentative amount asked for the equipment and could be above or below the price that is agreed to between both parties.
- PV = (40,541 PMT, 7 I/Y, 4 N) = 137,321
- From the perspective of a creditor, an instalment note payment includes both the interest and principal, whereas, for an interest-bearing note, the principal amount is not due until maturity. In other words, the instalment note provides a regular reduction of the principal balance as part of every payment received, reducing the creditor's investment in the debt and freeing up cash to use elsewhere.
For Hornblower Corp.:
- Determine if this is a modification of terms or settlement:
Present value of old debt is $700,000.
Present value of new debt using the historic rate:
PV = (45,500 PMT, 8 I/Y, 2 N, 650,000 FV) = 638,409
This loan is deemed as a modification in terms because the present value of the future cash flows of the new debt using the old rate of $638,409 does not differ by an amount greater than 10% of the present value of the old debt of $700,000.
There will be no entry for Hornblower Corp. due to the restructure of the loan. The old debt remains on the books of Hornblower Corp. at $700,000 and no gain or loss is recognized. A note disclosure regarding the modification of terms is required.
- The interest expense is based on the future cash flows specified by the new terms with the pre-restructuring carrying amount of the debt of $700,000. The effective interest rate is calculated as follows:
I/Y = (+/- 700,000 PV, 45,500 PMT, 2 N, 650,000 FV) = 2.98% (rounded)
-

For Firstly Trust:
- Present value of old debt is $700,000.
Present value of new debt using the historic rate: PV = (45,500 PMT, 8 I/Y, 2 N, 650,000 FV) = $ 638,409 Loss $ 61,591 Note: If Firstly Trust had previously recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts for this note, the debit entry would be to the AFDA account instead of the bad debt expense.

- Determine if the changes should be accounted for as a settlement or as a modification:
Old debt: $150,000
New terms using old rate of 10%:
PV = (11,700 PMT, 10 I/Y, 2 N, 130,000 FV) = 127,744
The present value of the new terms using the old rate of 10% differs by an amount larger than 10% of the present value of the old debt of $150,000. As a result, the renegotiated debt is considered a settlement. The old debt is removed from the books of Ulting Ltd. with a gain/loss being recognized, and the new debt is recorded.

- PV = (60,000 PMT, 8 I/Y, 4 N, 1,000,000 FV) = $933,757
- For IFRS, the residual method is used. This allocates the proceeds first to the liability component and the residual to the equity component. The debt component is measured first as the par value compared to the present value of future cash flows without the convertible feature:
Total proceeds at par $ 1,000,000 PV of the debt component by itself (933,757) Incremental value of option $ 66,243 Entry:
- Under ASPE, the zero-equity method can be used as a policy choice. The equity component would be measured at $0 and the rest to the debt component.
Entry:
Also, the residual method can also be used as explained above. Entry is the same as the entry for IFRS:
Entry:
- Under IFRS, the residual method is applied whereby cash is allocated to the value of the debt instrument first, and the residual is allocated to equity. The debt value is calculated as $576,000 and the warrants are accounted for as equity instruments.
- Under ASPE one option is to measure the component that is most easily measurable first (usually the debt component) and apply the residual to the other equity component. This is the option under IFRS, and the journal entry will, therefore, be the same:
Another option is to measure the equity component using the zero-equity method. This means that equity is measured at $0 and the journal entry would be:
- Allocating the entire issuance to the debt component, and therefore zero to equity, results in a higher debt to total assets ratio as compared with the residual method. A lower debt to total assets ratio indicates better debt paying ability and long-run solvency.
-
*
** -
Note: The bonds payable carrying value would no longer include any unamortized premium, so the face value or par value would be the carrying value at maturity.
- Due to common shares market price volatility, there is a risk in waiting to convert the bonds. If the bondholder does not convert when the common share market value is high, no gain will be realized. Conversely, if the common shares market price declines too far, the bondholder risks not being able to sell the bonds, rendering the conversion rights worthless.
Residual method, using the fair value of the warrants first and the residual to the bonds:

- January 1, 2020: No journal entry necessary since the fair value of the forward contract would be $0.

- The market price of the shares of $15 on May 1, 2023, is not used in recording the exercise of the stock options. From an accounting perspective, the market price is not relevant. It is, nonetheless, relevant to the employees in making their decision to exercise their stock options. The market price is mentioned to indicate that the timing of the exercise is justified, or at least makes sense. Employees exercising a stock option would have paid $10 and could resell the shares immediately for $15, for a gain of $5 per share.

PV = (25,100 PMT/AD, 7 I/Y, 6 N, 3,000 FV) = $130,014 (rounded)
ASPE interest rate used must be the lower of the two rates, since both are known.
The present value compared to the fair value of $130,000 exceeds the 90% numeric threshold. Note that the leased asset and obligation cannot exceed fair value, so $130,000 will be the amount used as the valuation in the journal entries below.
Any one of the criteria met will result in a classification of a capital lease. In this case, the lease agreement has met two criteria: a bargain purchase option, and a present value of the minimum lease payments that exceeds 90% of the fair value of the asset.
Lessor Analysis (ASPE)
The lease agreement meets the capitalization criteria for the lessee above. Additionally, there are no uncertainties regarding the collectability of the lease payments and the costs yet to be incurred by the lessor (both must be met). This would, therefore, be classified as a capital lease for the lessor. The initial amount of net investment (fair value) of $130,000 exceeds the lessor's cost of $90,000, making the lease a sales-type lease to the lessor.
- Gross investment (lease receivable) for the lessor:
The minimum lease payments regarding this lease are:
Calculation: = $ 150,600 BPO + 3,000 Gross investment at inception $ 153,600 Net investment for the lessor:
The $130,000 fair value in this case (or the present value if it does not exceed the fair value).

The difference ($14) is insignificant, thus a new interest rate is not required for the amortization schedule above. Had the present value been significantly higher than the fair value, a new effective interest rate would be required and calculated using the following methodology.
I/Y = (+/- 130,000 PV, 25,100 PMT/AD, 6 N, 3,000 FV) = 7.004876% or 7%
As can be seen, the 7% rate for the lessor has not significantly changed, so 7% will be the rate used in the amortization schedule above.
- Lessee journal entries:
Year-end adjusting entries:
* Note: Because there is a bargain purchase option, the leased asset is depreciated over its economic life rather than over the lease term. This is because the BPO, much less than the market price at that time, will be exercised by the lessee and the asset will be used beyond the lease term.
- Lessor entries
Year-end adjusting entry:
2022 payment:
Year-end adjusting entry:
Note: The lessor could record six months of interest income in July, and six months of interest income on December 31 to match the lessee interest entries. However, the minimum reporting requirement would be to recognize interest income each reporting date (December 31). If the lessor also had interim reporting every six months within the fiscal year, interest income would be accrued every six months to ensure that both the interim and year-end financial statements were complete.
- For the lessee:
Rather than using quantitative factors, such as the 75% and the 90% hurdles, the IFRS (IAS 17) criteria use qualitative factors to establish whether the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the lessee, which supports the classification as a capitalized lease:
- There is reasonable assurance that the lessee will obtain ownership of the leased property by the end of the lease term. If there is a bargain purchase option in the lease, it is assumed that the lessee will exercise it and obtain ownership of the asset (same as with ASPE).
- The lease term is long enough that the lessee will receive substantially all of the economic benefits that are expected to be derived from using the leased property over its life (equivalent to the 75% numeric threshold for ASPE).
- The lease allows the lessor to recover substantially all of its investment in the leased property and to earn a return on the investment. Evidence of this is provided if the present value of the minimum lease payments is close to the fair value of the leased asset (equivalent to the 90% numeric threshold for ASPE).
- The leased assets are so specialized that, without major modification, they are of use only to the lessee (IFRS (IAS 17) only).
If the lease is deemed as a lease subject to capitalization, the accounting treatment of the lease by the lessee would be the same as ASPE, although it would be referred to as a finance lease, rather than a capital, direct financing lease.
The treatment of the lease by the lessor would be the same as the lessee above, using qualitative criteria rather than numeric thresholds used for ASPE. (The criteria will not include the two-revenue recognition-based tests for uncertainty regarding collectability of lease payments and estimated un-reimbursable costs for the lessor.) The lease would be referred to as a finance lease, manufacturer or dealer rather than a sales-type lease.
- If the lease agreement included an unguaranteed residual, the leased asset would be physically returned to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The depreciation charge would, therefore, be over the lease term and not the asset's economic life, which is the case when a bargain purchase is involved. As well, the depreciation calculation would not include a residual value.
- Lessee analysis (IFRS, IAS 17)
- Does ownership title pass? No, title remains with the lessor.
- Is there a BPO or a bargain renewal option? No
- Is the lease term covering the majority of the asset's estimated economic or useful life? Consider that the lease term is eight years and the economic life is ten years, so this constitutes a major part of the economic life of the asset. Yes, capitalize leased asset.
- The leased asset is a specialized piece of landscaping machinery, so it will only benefit the lessee without major modifications. Yes, capitalize leased asset.
- Does the present value of the minimum lease payments allow the lessor to recover substantially all of the leased asset's fair value as well as realizing a return on the investment? Consider that the present value of the minimum lease payments shown below is nearly equal to the fair value of $270,000, so it appears that the lessor will be reimbursed for all of the leased investment, including a return on investment. Yes, capitalize leased asset.
Yearly payment $ 46,754 Less: Executory costs 2,000 Minimum annual lease payment $ 44,754 Present value of minimum lease payments:
PV = (44,754 PMT/AD, 9 I/Y, 8 N, 0 FV) = $269,999 (which is virtually 100% of the fair value of $270,000)
Under IFRS (IAS 17), the lessee will classify this lease as a finance lease since the lease term covers substantially all of the asset's useful life, the present value of the minimum lease payments allows the lessor to recover almost all of the leased asset's fair value (as well as realizing a return on the investment), and the machinery is highly specialized. Three of the criteria considered were met so it is reasonable to assume that the lessee will capitalize the lease.
The treatment of the lease by the lessor would be the same as the lessee above, using the qualitative criteria rather than numeric thresholds used for ASPE. Except the lessor classification criteria will not include the two-revenue recognition-based tests for uncertainty regarding collectability of lease payments and estimated un-reimbursable costs for the lessor. Again, since three criteria were met, it is reasonable to assume that the lease would be classified as a finance lease.
- IFRS (IAS 17) states that the rate implicit in the lease is to be used wherever it is reasonably determinable. Using the fair value of $270,000, the implicit rate can be calculated:
I/Y = (+/- 270,000 PV, 44,754 PMT/AD, 8 N) = 9% (rounded) which is the same rate as the lessee's

Lessee Analysis (IFRS, IAS 17)
- Does the ownership title pass? No, title remains with the lessor.
- Is there a BPO or a bargain renewal option? No
- Does the lease term cover the majority of the asset's estimated economic or useful life? Consider that the lease term is eight years, and the economic life is twelve years, the lease covers a major part of the economic life of the asset. Yes, capitalize leased asset.
- As the leased asset is a specialized piece of landscaping machinery, it will only benefit the lessee without major modifications. Yes, capitalize leased asset.
- Does the present value of the minimum lease payments allow the lessor to recover substantially all of the leased asset's fair value, as well as realizing a return on the investment? Consider that the present value of the minimum lease payments is $288,960, compared to the fair value of $300,000, making the minimum lease payments nearly equal to the fair value at that date. As such, the lessor will recover substantially all of the leased asset's fair value, as well as a return of 9% on the investment. Yes, as calculated below.
Yearly payment $ 50,397 Less: Executory costs 2,500 Minimum annual lease payment $ 47,897 Present value of minimum lease payments:
PV = (47,897 PMT/AD, 9 I/Y, 8 N, 0 FV) = 288,960 (which is substantially most of the fair value of $300,000)Consider the following criteria: The lease term covers substantially all of the asset's useful life, the present value of the minimum lease payments recovers substantially most of the leased asset's fair value (as well as realizing a return on the investment), and the machinery is highly specialized for the lessee. As these three factors have been met, it is reasonable to assume that the lease will be classified as a finance lease for the lessee under IFRS (IAS 17).
- This is a finance lease to Oberton Ltd. The IFRS (IAS 17) criteria use qualitative factors to establish whether the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the lessee, and supports classification as a finance lease:
- There is reasonable assurance that the lessee will obtain ownership of the leased property by the end of the lease term. If there is a bargain purchase option in the lease, it is assumed that the lessee will exercise it and obtain ownership of the asset. No
- The lease term is long enough that the lessee will receive substantially all of the economic benefits that are expected to be derived from using the leased property over its life (as evidenced by a four-year lease compared to a six-year estimated economic life). Yes, this represents a major part of the economic life of the asset.
- The lease allows the lessor to recover substantially all of its investment in the leased property and to earn a return on the investment. Evidence of this is provided if the present value of the minimum lease payments is close to the fair value of the leased asset. Yes
Compared to a fair value of $18,000 = 100% recovery of investment + an 8% return on investment.
- The leased assets are so specialized that, without major modification and/or significant cost to the lessor, they are of use only to the lessee. No
The standard also states that these indicators are not always conclusive. The decision has to be made on the substance of each specific transaction. If the lessee determines that the risks and benefits of ownership have not been transferred to it, the lease is classified as an operating lease. In this case, two factors have been met so it would be reasonable to classify this lease as a finance lease for the lessee.
For Black Ltd. (the lessor) under IFRS (IAS 17), the lease would receive the same treatment as for the lessee using the qualitative factors. Black Ltd. reasonably meets the factors, and is not a manufacturer or dealer, and so this is a finance lease.
- Calculation of annual rental payment:
PMT = +/- 18,000 PV, 8 I/Y, 4 N, 3,500 FV = = $4,333 lease payment, including executory costs of $20.
This confirms that the interest rate used to calculate the lease payment was 8% per annum.

- Lessor Analysis (ASPE)
-
* Note: The unguaranteed residual value is included in the lessor's gross investment even though the lessee does not guarantee it. From the lessor's perspective, it anticipates receiving $25,000 from a third party at the end of the lease term and it does not matter who they receive it from. ** The residual value is unguaranteed, so its present value must be removed from the sale price to the lessee. Present value of the minimum lease payments = (35,000 PMT/AD, 5 I/Y, 10 N, 25,000 FV) = $299,122 Sales price OR remove the $25,000 residual value from the present value calculation above. PV = (35,000 PMT/AD, 5 I/Y, 10 N) = $283,774 *** The unearned interest income of $75,878 is calculated as the lease receivable (gross investment) less the present value of the minimum lease payments ().
- Assuming the $25,000 residual value was guaranteed by the lessee, this would change the initial entry for the sale as follows:
The sales revenue and cost of goods sold would not need to be reduced by the present value of the estimated residual value ($15,348) calculated in part (b). The sales revenue would, therefore, be the amount equalling the present value of the minimum lease payments.
- Lease payment PMT/AD = (299,122 PV, 5 I/Y, 12 N, 40,000 FV) = $29,748 (rounded)
- Lessee Analysis (ASPE)
- Does ownership title pass? Yes, legal title passes to the lessee at the end of the lease term.
- Is there a BPO or a bargain renewal option? N/A, title passes, so BPO is not relevant.
- Is the lease term 75% or more of the asset's estimated economic or useful life? Yes 10 years/10 years = 100% which meets the 75% threshold
- Does the present value of the minimum lease payments exceed 90% of the leased asset's fair value? Yes, as calculated below.
PV = (61,507 PMT/A, 7 I/Y, 10 N, 0 FV) = $432,000 (rounded)
The ASPE interest rate used must be the lower of the two, since both are known.
The present value is equal to the fair value of $432,000, so it exceeds the 90% numeric threshold.
Any one of the criteria met will result in a classification of a capital lease for the lessee. In this case, the lease agreement has met three criteria: legal title passes to the lessee, a lease term that exceeds 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased asset, and a present value of the minimum lease payments that exceeds 90% of the fair value of the asset.
Lessor Analysis (ASPE)
The lease agreement meets the capitalization criteria for the lessee above. In addition, there are no uncertainties regarding the collectability of the lease payments or the costs yet to be incurred by the lessor (both must be met). This would, therefore, be classified as a capital lease for the lessor. Additionally, as the lessor is a financing company this lease would be classified as a direct-financing lease by the lessor.
- Kimble Ltd. (lessee) entries
Note: The present value calculation in this case will involve the annual payment (PMT) of an ordinary annuity (paid at the end of each year) for 10 periods at 7%. The interest rate under ASPE is to be the lower of the two rates, if both are known.
Earlier leasing questions involved the annual payment of an annuity due at the beginning of each year over the lease term.
Note: Under ASPE, Kimble Ltd. is to use the lower of the two rates. The deferred profit on the sale-leaseback is to be amortized on the same basis that the asset is being depreciated, which, in this case, is ten years.

Then, a like amount is allocated to the common shares. The preferred dividend can be expressed as a percentage: (or ). Therefore, the common shares are also allocated a basic dividend of () = $240,000. This leaves a remaining dividend of $510,000, which is available for participation. The participation is allocated on a pro-rata basis as follows:
Carrying amounts of each class:
Preferred $ 5,000,000 38.46% Common 8,000,000 61.54% Total $ 13,000,000 100% The participating dividend is therefore:

The ex-dividend price should be per share
A 3-for-2 share split results in the same number of shares being issued as above, making the share price $8.
- For the 50% share dividend, the dividend amount will be calculated as
Common shares $ 32,500,000 Retained earnings 22,000,000 Total equity $ 54,500,000 A 3-for-2 share split has no effect on the accounts, as it simply increases the number of outstanding shares. Therefore, the equity section will appear as follows:
Common shares $ 12,500,000 Retained earnings 42,000,000 Total equity $ 54,500,000 - Either action will result in the share price dropping to $8 per share from $12. However, the total reported equity will not change as it's just a question of how the deck will be shuffled, so to speak, in the equity section. The decision will depend on both the legal framework in the company's jurisdiction and the corporate objectives of the distribution. There may be legal restrictions and tax implications, with respect to the share dividend, which would make the share split easier to implement. On the other hand, if the directors would like to capitalize some of the retained earnings to potentially reduce future shareholder demands for dividends, then the share dividend would be the better approach. The directors will also have to consider if the shareholder response will be different for each scenario. The directors should also consider if there are any other contracts or agreements, such as loan covenants, that would be affected by the decision.

There is no contributed surplus balance associated with preferred share re-acquisitions, so the full difference is charged to retained earnings.
Common dividend:
Note: The shares remaining in treasury are excluded from the dividend calculation, as the company cannot pay itself a dividend. The company's issued share capital includes the treasury shares, although they are not outstanding.
Preferred dividend:
Note: This calculation assumes that the cumulative, unpaid dividend on the retired preferred shares was not paid. Depending on the articles of incorporation and local legislation, the cumulative, unpaid dividend may need to be paid prior to retirement of the shares. This would result in an additional dividend of $50,000 () paid on the date of retirement.
Chapter 19 Exercises
- Basic earnings per share calculation:
Step 1: Record the opening balance of shares outstanding and each subsequent event, date, description, and number of shares for the current reporting. An event is where the outstanding number of shares changes.
Step 2: For stock dividends or stock splits, apply the required retroactive restatement factor(s) from the event point when it initially occurs and backwards to the beginning of the fiscal year.
Step 3: For each event, complete the duration between events under the date column and complete the corresponding fraction of the year column accordingly. Multiply the shares outstanding times the retroactive restatement factor(s) times the fraction of the year for each event. Sum the amounts to determine the WACS amount.

Earnings per share: Basic Income from continuing operations $ 1.40 Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax* (0.11) Net income $ 1.29 *
- Common shareholders need to know how much of a company's available income can be attributed to the shares they own. This helps them assess future dividend payouts and the value of each share. Earnings per share (EPS) becomes a per share way of describing net income, making EPS a good metric for shareholders and investors. When the income statement reports discontinued operations, EPS should be disclosed for income from continuing operations, discontinued operations, and net income. These disclosures make it possible for shareholders and potential investors to know the specific impact of income from continuing operations on earnings per share, as opposed to a single EPS number, that includes income or loss from non-continuing operations not expected to continue.
- EPS is used in the calculation of the price earnings ratio (), which compares the market price of the company's shares with income generated on a per-share basis. Market price of the company's shares will generally adjust after issuance of a stock dividend or a stock split. For the calculation of price earnings ratio to remain valid after a stock dividend or stock split, EPS should also be adjusted in the company's financial statements to assume that the additional shares have been outstanding since the beginning of the year in which the stock dividend or stock split occurred.
Step 1: Record the opening balance of shares outstanding and each subsequent event, date, description, and number of shares for the current reporting. An event is where the outstanding number of shares changes.
Step 2: For stock dividends or stock splits, apply the required retroactive restatement factor(s) from the event point it when initially occurs and backwards to the beginning of the fiscal year.
Step 3: For each event, complete the duration between events under the date column and complete the corresponding fraction of the year column accordingly. Multiply the shares outstanding times the retroactive restatement factor(s) times the fraction of the year for each event. Sum the amounts to determine the WACS amount.

- The earnings process occurs continuously throughout the fiscal year and the capital basis can fluctuate during that time. It is, therefore, necessary to adjust the denominator of the EPS ratio to reflect the various lengths of time during the year that the different amounts of capital from the different number of shares outstanding were available to generate earnings during the year.

Note that the company has convertible bonds, which means that it has a complex capital structure. This requires both basic and diluted EPS to be reported, even if they are the same amount.
- Follow the three steps identified earlier in the chapter to calculate the WACS in the schedule below:

*
Note that the preferred shares are not convertible, so this company has a simple capital structure and needs only report its basic EPS.
- The basic EPS will remain the same as the amount calculated in part (a). This is because the preferred shares are cumulative, so the dividend entitlement amount would be used to reduce the income available to common shareholders. For this reason, any dividends in arrears will not be included, since they would have already been included in the previous years' respective EPS calculations. To include dividends in arrears for cumulative preferred shares in 2021 would be, in effect, double counting.
- The basic EPS will be the same amount as calculated in part (a). If the preferred shares are non-cumulative, only dividends that are declared are deducted from net income. Since they are paid up to date, they will be the same amount as the dividend amount used in part (a), making the EPS calculation the same.
- If the preferred shares are non-cumulative, only dividends declared would be used in the numerator to reduce net income available to common shareholders. In this case, no dividends were declared in 2021, so the calculation would be:
- A stock split, which only increases the number of shares outstanding, will result in a decreased market price per share, making the shares more affordable to potential investors. If the company's shares are made more affordable to potential investors, the shares may become more marketable, causing an increase in the market value because of the stock split.
- The weighted average number of shares outstanding provides the correct basis for EPS to be reported because the number of common shares outstanding throughout the year can fluctuate due to various in-year capital transactions. When stock dividends or stock splits occur, a restatement of the weighted average number of shares to the beginning of the year must be made. This is done to allow valid comparisons can be made between periods before and after the stock dividend or stock split.
- This company has a complex capital structure because it has options that can potentially be converted into common shares. Both basic and diluted EPS are required to be disclosed, even if the amounts are the same.
- = $1.75
* Additional common shares using the treasury method:
Shares purchased 45,000 Less shares retired (40,909) Net additional shares 4,091 shares Note: A quick way to calculate the net additional common shares due to options (treasury method) is:
Required disclosures:
Basic EPS $ 1.75 Diluted EPS $ 1.71 - = $1.75
Options are not in the money because the market price is $9, and the exercise price is $10. Options holders would not be motivated to purchase any common shares using their options because they can buy them directly from the market at a lower price.
Required disclosures:
Basic and diluted EPS $ 1.75
- There will be no incremental shares in this case as these options are anti-dilutive. Recall that only an increase in additional shares will be dilutive since the net income (numerator) will remain unchanged. If call options have an exercise price ($10) that is lower than the market price ($13), these options will be anti-dilutive, as fewer shares will need to be issued (at $13) in order to obtain sufficient cash to exercise the options to purchase the 20,000 shares at $10. The net result would be a reduction of 4,615 outstanding shares, making these options anti-dilutive as calculated below:
Shares issued at $13 to obtain $200,000 15,385 increase Using proceeds to exercise options at $10 per share 20,000 reduction As this results in a net reduction of 4,615 common shares, these options are considered anti-dilutive and would be excluded from the diluted EPS calculation.
-
Proceeds required to exercise options () $280,000 Shares issued at $13 to obtain $280,000 21,538 increase Using proceeds to exercise options at $14 per share 20,000 reduction There is a net increase of 1,538 common shares, making this dilutive. The diluted EPS calculation would include the additional 1,538 common shares.
If the exercise price is $12 instead of $14:
Proceeds required to exercise options () $240,000 Shares issued at $13 to obtain $240,000 18,462 increase Using proceeds to exercise options at $12 per share 20,000 reduction There is a net decrease of 1,538 common shares, making this anti-dilutive and, therefore, excluded from the diluted EPS calculation.
- The company would not exercise the option to sell its common shares for $11 because the option price per share of $11 is lower than the market price of $13. These are, therefore, not dilutive.
- = $6.50
This company has a complex capital structure due to the convertible securities. As a result, diluted EPS is also required to be calculated and reported.

Carmel Corp. Statement of Cash Flows For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 Cash flows from operating activities Net income $ 105,000 Adjustments for non-cash revenue and expense items in the income statement: Depreciation expense $ 48,000 Gain on sale of investments (2,200) Loss on sale of building 5,000 Decrease in investments – trading 136,600 Increase in accounts receivable () (20,000) Decrease in accounts payable () (90,800) 76,600 Net cash from operating activities 181,600 Cash flows from investing activities Proceeds from sale of building () 220,000 Purchase of land (220,000) Net cash from investing activities 0 Cash flows from financing activities Reduction in long-term mortgage principal (30,000) Issuance of common shares 20,000 Payment of cash dividends (8,000) Net cash from financing activities (18,000) Net increase in cash 163,600 Cash at beginning of year 84,000 Cash at end of year $ 247,600 Supplemental Disclosures:
- The purchase of equipment through the issuance of $50,000 of common shares is a significant non-cash financing transaction that would be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Cash paid interest $ 35,000 - Note: Had there been cash paid income taxes, this would also be disclosed.
- The purchase of equipment through the issuance of $50,000 of common shares is a significant non-cash financing transaction that would be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
- Free cash flow:
Net cash from operating activities $ 181,600 Capital expenditures – land (220,000) Cash paid dividends (8,000) Free cash flow $ (46,400) In the analysis of Carmel's free cash flow above, we see that it is negative. While including dividends paid is optional, it would not have made a difference in this case. What does make a difference, however, is that the capital expenditures are those needed to sustain the current level of operations. In the case of Carmel Corp., the land was purchased for investment purposes, and not to meet operational requirements. With this in mind, the free cash flow would more accurately be:
Net cash from operating activities $ 181,600 Capital purchases 0 Cash paid dividends (8,000) Free cash flow $ 173,600 This makes intuitive sense and it is supported by the results from one of the coverage ratios.
The current cash debt coverage provides information about how well Carmel Corp. can cover its current liabilities from its net cash flows from operations:
Carmel Corp.'s current cash debt coverage is 1.38 (). The company has adequate cash flows to cover its current liabilities as they come due and so, overall, its financial flexibility looks positive.
In terms of cash flow patterns, we see a positive trend, as Carmel Corp. has managed to more than triple its cash balance in the year, mainly from cash generated from operating activities. They were able to pay $8,000 in dividends, or a 1.7% return. And if dividends are paid several times throughout the year, then the return is more than adequate for investors. Carmel Corp. also sold off its traded investments for a profit, and some idle buildings at a small loss, to obtain sufficient internal funding for some land that they want to purchase as an investment. They also managed to lower their accounts payable levels by close to 60%. All of this supports the assessment that Carmel Corp.'s financial flexibility looks reasonable.
- The information reported in the statement of cash flows is useful for assessing the amount, timing, and uncertainty of future cash flows. The statement identifies the specific cash inflows and outflows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. This gives stakeholders a better understanding of the liquidity and financial flexibility of the enterprise. Some stakeholders have concerns about the quality of the earnings because of the variety and subjectivity of the bases that can be used to record accruals and estimates. As a result, the higher the ratio of cash provided by operating activities to net income, the more stakeholders can rely on the earnings reported.

Egglestone Vibe Inc. Statement of Cash Flows For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 Cash flows from operating activities Net income $ 24,700 Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities Depreciation expense (note 1) $ 55,900 Loss on sale of equipment (note 2) 10,100 Gain on sale of land (note 3) (38,200) Impairment loss – goodwill 63,700 Increase in accounts receivable (36,400) Increase in inventory (67,600) Decrease in accounts payable (28,200) (40,700) Net cash used by operating activities (16,000) Cash flows from investing activities Purchase of investments – available for sale (20,000) Proceeds from sale of equipment 27,300 Purchase of land (note 4) (62,400) Proceeds from sale of land 150,000 Net cash provided by investing activities 94,900 Cash flows used by financing activities Payment of cash dividends (note 5) (42,600) Issuance of notes payable 10,500 Net cash used by financing activities (32,100) Net increase in cash 46,800 Cash at beginning of year 37,700 Cash at end of year $ 84,500 General note: During the year, Egglestone Vibe retired $160,000 in notes payable by issuing common shares.
Notes to statements:
- Retained earnings account: ; Dividend declared but not paid = $20,500
Dividends payable account: cash paid dividends
- Negative cash flows from operating activities may signal trouble ahead with regard to Egglestone's daily operations, including profitability of operations and management of its current assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable. All three of these increased the cash outflows over the year. In fact, net cash provided by investing activities funded the net cash used by both operating and financing activities. Specifically, proceeds from sale of equipment and land were used to fund operating and financing activities, which may be cause for concern if the assets sold were used to generate significant revenue. Shareholders did receive cash dividends, but investors may wonder if these payments will be sustainable over the long term. Consider that dividends declared were $20,500, which was quite high compared to the net income of $24,700. In addition, the dividends payable account still had a balance payable of $41,600 from prior dividend declarations not yet paid. This creates increased pressure on the company to find sufficient funds to catch-up with the cash payments owed to investors. Egglestone may not be able to sustain payment of cash dividends of this size in the long-term if improvement of its profitability and management of its receivables, payables, and inventory are not implemented quickly.
- For operating activities, use the steps from earlier in the chapter for the direct method:
Step 3 – enter all the line items from the income statement to the most appropriate direct method category so that the total matches the income statement.
Step 4 – enter all the changes to the non-cash working capital accounts (except current portion of LT debt) to the most appropriate direct method category, and use the accounting equation technique to determine if the cash flow change for each account is positive or negative.
Complete the investing and financing sections as usual.

Item | Type of Change |
The useful life of a piece of equipment was revised from five years to six years. | AE |
An accrued litigation liability was adjusted upwards once the lawsuit was concluded. | AE |
An item was missed in the year-end inventory count. | E |
The method used to depreciate a factory machine was changed from straight-line to declining balance as it was felt this better reflected the pattern of use. | AE |
A company adopted the new IFRS for revenue recognition. | P |
The accrued pension liability was adjusted downwards as the company's actuary had not included one employee group when estimating the remaining service life. | E |
The allowance for doubtful accounts was adjusted upwards due to current economic conditions. | AE |
The allowance for doubtful accounts was adjusted downwards because the previous estimate was based on an aged trial balance that classified some outstanding invoices into the wrong aging categories. | E |
A company changed its inventory cost flow assumption from LIFO to FIFO, as the newly appointed auditors indicated that LIFO was not allowable under IFRS. | E |
A company began to apply the revaluation model to certain property, plant, and equipment assets, as it was felt this presentation would be more useful to investors. | P |
- Because the change in the useful life of the copyright is based on the existence of new information and new conditions, this would be a change in estimate and should be treated prospectively by adjusting amortization only for current and future years. The recording of the insurance premium is an accounting error as it should have originally been recorded as a prepaid expense. As such, this error should be accounted for retrospectively, correcting the error in the appropriate period and restating comparative information.
-
Note: Because the books are still open for 2021, we can correct the error for the current year as well as for the future year. However, the company would have to consider when the conditions changed that led to the estimate revision.
Journal entry:
The insurance premium should have been reported as a prepaid asset when purchased, and recognized as an expense at . Thus, for the year ended December 31, 2020, only should have been expensed. The following adjustment is required to correct this error:
Note that this entry simply moves ten months of the insurance expense from 2020 to 2021. There is no need to adjust the prepaid as the insurance was fully utilized by the end of 2021. However, a comparative balance sheet, if presented, would need to include the prepaid expense of $1,250.
In this case, there is both an accounting error and a change in accounting estimate. The error should be corrected first, retrospectively, and then the change in estimate can be applied.
Depreciation as originally calculated:
Depreciation should have been:
The following journal entry corrects the 2021 accounts:
The carrying amount is now
As one year has passed, the remaining useful life is now .
.
Therefore, 2022 depreciation will be
Note: Remember that residual values are not used in DDB calculations.
The following journal entry will record current year depreciation:
This is an accounting policy change that should be applied retrospectively. It means that the effect of the revaluations on prior years will need to be recorded, as well as the effects on depreciation expense. The changes are summarized below:
Year | Depr. Taken | Carrying Value | Revaluation | Revised Depr. | New CV |
2018 | 25,000 | 725,000 | 800,000 | 800,000 | |
2019 | 25,000 | 700,000 | 800,000 | 27,586 | 772,414 |
2020 | 25,000 | 675,000 | 800,000 | 27,586 | 744,828 |
2021 | 25,000 | 650,000 | 825,000 | 30,556 | 794,444 |
Note: On December 31, 2018, the building is revalued, creating a revaluation surplus of 75,000 (). The revised depreciation is calculated as . This depreciation rate is used for 2019 and 2020. On December 31, 2020, the building is revalued creating a valuation surplus of 80,172 (). The new depreciation rate to be used for 2021 and 2022 is .
On January 1, 2022, the total depreciation actually recorded is $100,000 (). Total depreciation that would have been recorded under the revaluation model is $110,728 (). The additional depreciation of 10,728 () needs to be adjusted to retained earnings. As well, the two revaluation surplus amounts 155,172 () need to be reflected in the revaluation surplus account.
The following journal entry adjusts the opening balances on January 1, 2022:
Note: Remember that when using the revaluation model, previous accumulated depreciation amounts are eliminated when a revaluation occurs. Thus, the accumulated depreciation on December 31, 2021, would be $30,556, so the adjustment needs to be 69,444 (). The building cost adjustment is based on the revised value (825,000) less the original cost recorded (750,000). This solution also assumes that there is no reclassification of OCI to retained earnings, as this is an optional treatment.
In 2022, the depreciation would be recorded as follows:
When the revaluation occurs on December 31, 2022, previous accumulated depreciation (the prior two years) is reversed and the revaluation is recorded:
The carrying value of the building, prior to revaluation, is 763,888 ().
The entry to record the revaluation on December 31, 2022, is:
This will reduce the carrying value of the building to $740,000.
- This is an accounting policy change that should be applied retrospectively. The following journal entry is required on January 1, 2021, to reflect the adjustment:
* The account used here will depend on whether the company uses a perpetual or periodic inventory system. With a periodic system, opening inventory is adjusted. With a perpetual system, cost of sales would be adjusted.
Note: Only the effect in 2020 needs to be considered. Inventory adjustments are self-correcting over a two-year period, so only the difference in the 2020 ending inventory needs to be adjusted.
- The comparative column (2020) of the retained earnings statement would look like this:
2020 (Restated) Opening retained earnings as previously stated $ 1,100,000 Accounting policy change, net of tax of $18,000 42,000 Opening balance, restated 1,142,000 Net income (restated) 282,000 Closing retained earnings $ 1,424,000 The effect on opening retained earnings (i.e., January 1, 2020) reflects the inventory difference on December 31, 2019 () less tax. The net income for 2020 is calculated as follows:
Income as previously reported $ 275,000 Reversal of 2019 difference, less tax (42,000) 2020 difference, less tax 49,000 Revised net income $ 282,000

Chapter 22 Exercises
- Sterling Inc. is owned by a close family member of a director of Kessel Ltd. This makes Kessel Ltd. and Sterling Inc. related parties. Disclosure is required for the relationship, any transactions during the period, and the fact that the amount was written off during the year.
- Kessel Ltd.'s 35% share ownership of Saunders Ltd. would normally be presumed to give it significant influence, thus making the parties related. As such, the nature of the relationship and the transaction itself need to be disclosed. There is, however, no requirement to state that the transaction was at arm's length unless this fact can be verified.
- Mr. Chiang is a member of the key management personnel of Kessel Ltd., making them related parties. Therefore, the details of the transaction need to be disclosed along with the nature of the relationship. As well, the guarantee of the mortgage should also be disclosed.
- Even where there is economic dependence, regular supplier-customer relationships do not indicate related party relationships. Thus, no separate disclosure of this transaction is required.
- Without any further information about cross shareholdings, the presence of a single common director between companies does not, in and of itself, indicate a related party relationship.
- A single investor has influence, but not control, over the other two companies. This would not normally indicate a related party relationship between the two associate companies.
- Each of the directors is individually related to each of the companies. The presence of common directors does not, in and of itself, indicate a related party relationship between the two companies. However, IAS 24 does require an examination of the substance, and not just the form, of the relationships. If the five directors have demonstrated a pattern of acting together as a single voting unit, then it can be argued that as a group, they control the two companies. In this case, the presence of a common controlling group would indicate that the companies are related.
- January 8, 2023: The appropriation was approved after the year-end and there is no indication that this action was substantively enacted prior to the approval date. As such, this was not a condition present at year-end, and no adjustment is required. However, disclosure should be made, as this event will likely have a material effect on future operations.
- January 27, 2023: Although the bonus was approved after year-end, it clearly relates to the financial results of the year and was committed under employment contracts that existed at the year-end. The bonus should thus be accrued on December 31.
- February 3, 2023: The additional taxes should be accrued, as the tax dispute already existed at the year-end. The change will be treated prospectively, (i.e., adjust in 2022 only) unless it can be demonstrated that the previous provision was made in error.
- February 21, 2023: This should be adjusted, as the error caused by the fraud existed at the reporting date. As well, because there is an illegal act involved, there may be further disclosures required.
- March 16, 2023: Dividends should not be adjusted, as there is no obligation to pay them until they are declared. However, disclosure of the declaration should be made.
- March 18, 2023: The condition did not exist at the reporting date, so no adjustment is required. If the loss of the machine will have a material effect on future operations, then disclosure should be made.
Although the damage only appeared after the reporting period, the engineers have indicated that the problem may have been present for several years. This would indicate the presence of an adjusting event. However, a provision should not be made as there is no legal obligation to make the repairs at year-end, that is, the building could simply be abandoned rather than repaired. What should be done, however, is an impairment review under IAS 36, and any impairment of the asset should be recorded.
The auditor needs to consider if there is sufficient evidence available to support a clean opinion, that is, that the financial statements have not been materially misstated. The correspondence with the legal counsel should be examined carefully in order to determine if the assertion that the outcome cannot be determined is supportable. Contingent liabilities are not accrued as provisions if there is only a possible, but not present, obligation that will only be settled by an uncertain future event, or if a present obligation cannot be reliably measured. If accrual of the provision is not warranted, disclosure in the notes is still required. In this case, the effects appear material, so the auditor will need to make sure that the appropriate note disclosures are made.
The auditor will also need to assess management's assertion that the plant will be closed if the legal case is lost as this may have a pervasive effect on future operations. The auditor may need to question the going concern assumption. Although it may be too early to make this determination, the compromise of the going concern assumption would lead to presentation of the financial statements using a different basis of accounting. If management refused to make this change, then the auditor would need to consider if a qualified, or adverse, opinion was warranted.
Even if the auditor is satisfied with the disclosures made, the pervasiveness of the matter may suggest the need for an emphasis of matter paragraph to be included in the audit report, thus drawing attention to the disclosures.
Revenue test:
. Business lines 1 and 4 meet this threshold.
Profit/(Loss) Test:
The total profits of $52,000 are greater than the total losses of $14,000, therefore
In absolute terms, ignoring the + and – signs, business lines 1, 2, and 4 meet this threshold.
Assets test:
. Business lines 1 and 4 meet this threshold.
Conclusion:
Based on the tests above, business lines 1, 2, and 4 all meet at least one of the three tests above.
For the 75% or greater test
Sum of business lines 1, 2, and 4
This test has been met by all of the reportable segments, which are business lines 1, 2, and 4. However, management can override these tests and report a business line as a reportable segment if they consider the segmented information to be useful to the stakeholders.
Interim reporting has several challenges:
- Changes in accounting principles: If this change were to occur in the second or third quarter, how should this affect the first quarter interim financial statements? The general consensus is that, even if the change of a particular accounting policy, such as a depreciation method, is prospective, the annual change should be prorated to each of the interim accounting periods so as not to over/under state any specific quarter. This would lessen any tendency of management to manipulate accounting policies within a specific quarter to influence bonuses or operational results targets. Thus, even though the change in policy is applied prospectively for the fiscal year, if interim statements are prepared, the change in policy would be applied retroactively, but proportionally, between each quarterly period to smooth the results over each quarter for that fiscal year.
- Cyclical and seasonal swings experienced by businesses within a fiscal year: Revenue can be concentrated over a limited number of months, while expenses may be incurred monthly. If IFRS guidelines are followed, the principles of revenue recognition and matching (of expenses incurred to earn those revenues) will continue to be accrued and recorded within each of the interim periods and the same tests used for annual financial statements would be applied to the interim reports.
- Allocations for income taxes and earnings per share: The treatment requires each interim period to be independent of each other and for interim allocations to be determined by applying all the same tests as those used for the annual reports.
- Auditors: While some stakeholders continue to push for an examination of the interim reports in order to provide assurance, auditors are reluctant to express an opinion on interim financial statements. As such, there will always be a trade-off between the need for assurance through an audit opinion and the need to produce the interim report on a timely basis.
ASPE does not contain any guidance for reporting interim reporting or segmented information. The issues would be the same for companies following either IFRS or ASPE, except that IFRS requires more disclosures.
- Percentage (common-size) vertical analysis is as follows:
2021 2020 2019 Net sales 100% 100% 100% Cost of goods sold (COGS) 65% 60% 63% Gross profit 35% 40% 37% Selling and administrative expenses 20% 21% 22% Income from continuing operations before income taxes 15% 19% 15% The company's income before taxes declines in 2021 due to higher cost of goods sold (COGS) as a percentage of net sales, as compared with 2020. Moreover, the COGS in 2020 decreased by 3% from the previous year followed by a more than offsetting increase back to greater than the 2019 percentage levels. Was there a write-off of inventory in 2021 that would cause COGS to sharply increase from the previous year? More investigation would be needed to determine the reason for the difference. Selling and administration continues to slowly decrease over the three-year period as a percentage of sales, suggesting that management may be taking steps to make operations more efficient. Separating the selling from the administration expenses would be a worthwhile drill-down into the numbers.
Horizontal (trend) analysis is as follows:
2021 2020 2019 Net sales 119% 107% 100% Cost of goods sold (COGS) 123% 102% 100% Gross profit 113% 116% 100% Selling and administrative expenses 109% 104% 100% Income from continuing operations before income taxes 118% 132% 100% This trend-line analysis highlights the jump in COGS between 2020 and 2021. Note how sales increased by 19% from 2019 while COGS increased by 23%. This divergent trend between these two accounts should be investigated further. Even though selling and administration expenses were shown to be dropping as a percentage of sales, these expenses actually increased over the two years. Further investigation of the increasing selling and administration costs might be necessary.
As can be seen from analysis of the two schedules above, different areas of operations may become targeted for further investigation depending on which schedule is examined. An area may not look particularly troublesome until another type of analyses is considered.
- Limitations of these types of analyses include:
- Vertical/Common Size Analysis: The downside to this type of analysis is the need to avoid management bias, or the temptation to use various accounting policies to favourably change a gross margin for personal reasons such as bonuses or positive performance evaluations. For example, if a gross margin decreased from 40% to 35% over a two-year period, the decline could be a realistic reflection of operations, or it could be the result of a change in estimates or of accounting policy. For this reason, any change in the ratios should always be further investigated.
- Horizontal/Trend Analysis: If the company's operations are relatively stable each year, this analysis can be useful. However, changes in these ratios could also be due to a change in pricing policy and not due to actual transactions and economic events. Again, more investigation is necessary to determine if the increase is due to true economic events or changes in policy made by management.
It is important to remember that ratios are only as good as the data presented in the financial statements. For example, if quality of earnings is high, then ratio analysis can be useful, otherwise it may do more harm than good. Also, it is important to focus on a few key ratios for each category to avoid the risk of information overload; it is those few key ratios that should be investigated and tracked over time. It is also important to understand that industry benchmarks make no assurances about how a company compares to its competitors since the basis for the industry ratio may be different than the basis used for the company. As such, ratios provide good indicators for further investigation, but they are not the end-point of an evaluation.
- Liquidity Ratio: Measures the enterprise's short-term ability to pay its maturing obligation:
Current ratio:
If a guideline of 2:1 is the norm for this industry, then this company's ratio is low. This company can meet its current debts provided that accounts receivable are collectible and inventory sellable. Too low could be an issue while too high could also be an issue and indicate an inefficient use of funds.
Quick ratio:
If a guideline of 1:1 is the norm for this industry, this company's ratio is low. More information is needed, such as historical trends or industry standards. Nearly 50% of the current assets are made up of inventory. Therefore, inventory risks such as obsolescence, theft, or competitors' products could affect this company.
- Activity Ratio: Measures how effectively the enterprise is using its assets. Activity ratios also measure the liquidity of certain assets such as inventory and receivables (i.e., how fast the asset's value is realized by the company).
Receivables turnover:
If a guideline of 30 to 60 days is the norm for this industry, receivables are being collected too slowly and too much cash is being tied up in receivables. Comparison to industry standards or historical trends would be useful.
Inventory Turnover:
An inventory turnover of less than three times per year appears to be very low. Too low may mean that too much cash is being tied up in inventory or there is too much obsolete inventory that cannot be sold. Too high can signal that inventory shortages may be resulting in lost sales. More information about the industry is needed.
Asset Turnover:
This ratio appears low. Too low means that this company uses its assets less efficiently to generate sales. Industry standards and historical trends would be useful.
Liquidity:
Current ratio describes the company's ability to pay current liabilities as they come due.
This company's comparable current ratio is favourable.
Activity:
Days' sales in inventory measures the liquidity of the company's inventory. This is the number of days that it takes for the inventory to be converted to cash. The company's days' sales in inventory are unfavourable when compared to the industry statistics.
Total asset turnover describes the ability of a company to use its assets to generate sales—the higher the better.
This company's comparable asset turnover is unfavourable.
Accounts payable turnover describes how much time it takes for a company to meet its obligations to its suppliers. This company's accounts payable turnover is lower than the industry average which means they are preserving their cash longer by comparison.
Solvency/coverage:
Debt ratio measure how much of the assets are financed by debt versus equity. The greater the debt ratio, the greater the risk associated with making interest and principal payments. This company's comparable debt ratio is favourable.
Profitability:
Measures the company's ability to generate a profit from sales. This company's profit margin is favourable.
When compared to its market price of $97, it appears that the market considers the earning power of its assets to be greater than the value of the company on its books. It follows that most profitable companies try to sustain a market value higher than the book value. Conversely, if the book value was higher than the market price, then the market considers that the company is worth less than the value on its books.
There are no dividends in arrears, so this ratio reflects the average paid-in amount, or the call price if they are callable.

- Acid-test ratio for 2020:
This is a liquidity ratio that is a more rigorous test of a company's ability to pay its short-term debts as they come due. Inventory and prepaid expenses are excluded from this ratio and only the most liquid assets are included.
- The company's acid-test ratio is favourable relative to the industry average.
- Acid-test ratio for 2020:

- Accounts receivable turnover for 2020.
or every 59.64 days ()
- The company's accounts receivable turnover is unfavourable relative to the industry average because the company's turnover rate of 6.12 is lower than the industry rate of 8.2 times. In days, the company's rate is every 59.6 days () as compared to industry's every 44.5 days () which represents the average number of days to collect accounts receivable.

Yeo Company's current ratio improved significantly from 1.73 in 2019 to 2.11 in 2020. This means that in 2020, Yeo Company had $2.11 of current assets available to pay each $1.00 of short-term debt. However, the acid-test is a more rigorous measure of short-term debt-paying ability because it excludes less liquid current assets such as Yeo Company's merchandise inventory. Merchandise inventory is excluded because it is not available to pay short-term debt until it has been sold; there is also the risk that it might not be sold, due to obsolescence, spoilage, or poor sales. The acid-test for 2019 showed that there was $1.07 of quick current assets, or liquid current assets, available to pay each $1.00 of short-term obligations. The acid-test decreased in 2020 indicating that there was $0.78 of quick current assets available to pay each $1.00 of current liabilities, highlighting a potential cash flow problem. When there are insufficient current assets available to pay current liabilities, liquidity, or cash flow, is a concern, hence the relationship between short-term debt-paying ability and cash flow.
Kevnar Corporation has strengthened its balance sheet because its debt ratio decreased from 2019 to 2020. Strengthening the balance sheet refers to how assets are financed—through debt or equity. The greater the equity financing, the stronger the balance sheet. This is because there is risk associated with debt financing (i.e., the risk of being unable to meet interest and/or principal payments). Therefore, although Kevnar Corporation has a greater percentage of its assets financed through debt than does Dilly Inc., it has increased equity financing which indicates a strengthening of the balance sheet because of the decrease in risk associated with debt financing.
Financing through equity also has its disadvantages. Having more equity-based financing can mean a dilution of ownership that results from the issuance of more shares to outside investors. Having more shareholders also means that there will be additional claims to the equity in the business. Conversely, debt does not dilute the ownership of a business since a creditor is only entitled to the repayment of the agreed-upon principal plus interest, so there is no direct claim on future profits of the business. Moreover, if the company is successful, the existing owners will reap a larger portion of the rewards than they would have if they had issued more shares to outside investors in order to finance the growth. Additionally, interest on debt can reduce net income and, hence, reduce income taxes, making equity financing potentially a more costly source of financing than debt. Because of the requirement to comply with federal laws and securities legislation, financing through issuance of shares is usually a more complicated and lengthy process than acquiring funds from debt sources. This certainly slows the financing process down, but it can also add to the costs of equity based financing.
