4. Learning Objectives (cont.)
Describe the specific components of an income statement.

5. INCOME—FASB CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
“information about earnings and its components measured by accrual accounting generally provides a better indication of enterprise performance than information about current cash receipts and payments.”

6. What is Income? Income is a Return over and above the investment
Income is the amount an entity could return to investors and still leave the entity as “well-off” at the end of the period as it was at the beginning

7. Income Determination Financial Capital Maintenance Concept states:
Net assets (ending)- Net assets (beginning) = Income IF:
No investments by owners or distributions were made in the period.
Thus, the change in net assets could be equal to income for the period.

8. Financial Capital Maintenance
Kreidler, Inc. had the following assets and liabilities at the beginning and at the end of a period.
Beginning of Period
End of Period
Total assets $510,000 $560,000
Total liabilities 430, ,000
Net assets
(owners’ equity) $ 80,000 $170,000
Income is $90,000

9. Financial Capital Maintenance
If the owners invested $40,000 in the business and received dividends of $15,000, what would be the income?
Net assets, end of period $170,000
Net assets, beginning of period ,000
Increase in net assets $ 90,000
Deduct investment by owners (40,000)
Add dividends to owners ,000
Income $ 65,000

10. Why is Income measurement important?
Inherently important as a major component of business and evaluation of activities
Helps assist in allocating resources to the most efficient and effective use
Used by creditors, investors, govt.

11. How is Income measured?
The transaction approach yields the same net income number as financial capital maintenance and provides means of measuring cash flows as well.
Also known as the matching method.

12. How is Income measured?
Transaction approach focuses on business events that affect financial statement elements: revenues, expenses, gains, losses
Measures the net effect over time

13. Problems with Income measurement
At what point should we recognize a revenue or gain
When should an expense or loss be matched

14. Revenue and Gain Recognition
Revenue is recognized when goods or services have been provided and the customer commits to payment.
Revenues & gains recognized when:
They are realized* or realizable*, and
They have been earned through substantial completion of the activities involved in the earnings process.
Realized means payment has been received
Relizable means we have received an asset
that is convertible to cash

15. Earlier Recognition
Situations where revenue can be recognized earlier:
If a product will sell at an established price which is practically ensured without significant selling effort.
If a product or service is contracted for in advance, revenue may be recognized as production occurs
(percentage-of-completion or proportional performance methods of revenue recognition.

16. Later Recognition
If payment for products or services is considered doubtful, revenues and gains may be recognized as the cash is received.
Installment Sales method
Cost Recovery method
Point-of-sale method will generally be followed for our problems unless othewise indicated

17. Expenses and Loss Recognition
Three categories for expense recognition:
Direct Matching
Systematic and rational allocation
Immediate recognition

18. Expenses and Loss Recognition
Direct Matching- relating expenses to specific revenues.
Systematic and Rational Allocation- costs of assets that benefit more than one period are spread across periods in a systematic and rational way. (depreciation)
Immediate Recognition- expenses that do not relate to specific revenues, but are incurred to indirectly generate revenue or when future benefits are highly uncertain. (admin expenses)

20. Form of the Income Statement
Traditionally, income from continuing operations is presented:
In a single step form- all revenues and gains are first on the statement.
Multiple step form- divided into separate sections and various subtotals are reported that reflect different levels of profitability.

25. Form of the Income Statement
Comparative financial statements present several years’ financial statements side by side. This enables users to analyze performance over multiple periods and identify significant trends.
Consolidated financial statements combine the financial results of the “parent company” with other companies that it owns, called subsidiaries.

26. Income from Continuing Operations
Determining Subtotals:
Income from Continuing Operations Before Taxes =
Operating income + Other revenues and gain – Other expenses and losses
Income from continuing operations =
Income from continuing operations before income taxes – Income taxes on continuing operations

28. Components of the Income Statement
Income from Continuing Operations:
Revenue
Cost of goods sold
Operating expenses
Other revenues and gains
Other expenses and losses
Income taxes on continuing operations

29. Income from Continuing Operations
Determining Subtotals:
Gross profit =
Revenue – Cost of goods sold
Operating income =
Gross profit – Operating expenses

30. Components of the Income Statement
Revenue
Revenue reports the total sales to customers for the period less any sales returns and allowances or discounts. Does not include taxes or shipping charges.

31. Components of the Income Statement
Cost of Goods Sold
Beginning inventory
+ Net purchases
+ Freight-in
+ Other inventory acquisition costs
= Cost of goods available for sale
– Ending inventory
= Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold is a significant item on merchandising and manufacturing companies’ income statement.

32. Components of the Income Statement
Gross Profit
Net sales
– Cost of goods sold
= Gross profit
Why is Gross Profit important?
---what is it used for?
Gross profit ÷ Net sales = Gross profit percentage

33. Components of the Income Statement
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses may be reported in two parts:
Selling expenses
List some examples
General and Administrative expenses

34. Components of the Income Statement
Operating Income
Operating income measures the performance of the fundamental business operations conducted by a company.
Gross profit
– Operating expenses
= Operating income

Losses from the sale of assets
Restructuring charges

37. Components of the Income Statement
Income Taxes
Income tax expense is calculated on income from all transactions of consequence for the year.
Below the line items (transitory, irregular, and extraordinary items) are reported net of their individual tax effect.
See Techtronics, p. 166

38. Below the Line items Discontinued operations:
Loss from operations of discontinued
business segment (net of tax) $xxx
Loss on disposal of segment (net of tax) xxx (xxx )
Extraordinary gain (net of tax) xxx
Net income $xxx
Cumulative Effect of a Change in
Accounting Principle (net of tax) xxx
=========

39. Discontinued Operations
Not expected to continue to impact results of future years operations
To report discontinued operations:
The operations and cash flows of the component must be clearly identifiable
For example, discontinued operations would result if a company closed one of four operating segments which tracks its cash flows and income separately. Or may be closing of a single line or even a single store.

40. Discontinued Operations
Management could decide to dispose of a component of a business because:
The component may be unprofitable.
The component may not fit into the long-range plans for the company.
Management may need funds to reduce long-term debt or to expand into other areas.
Management may be fearful of a corporate takeover by new investors desiring to gain control of the company.

41. Discontinued Operations
When reporting discontinued operations on the income statement it consists of two parts:
Income (loss) from operations- disclosed only if decision to discontinue operations is made after beginning of the year.
Gain (loss) on disposal of operation- consisting of income (loss) during phase out and gain (loss) from disposal of segment assets.

42. Discontinued Operations
According to FASB Statement No. 144, if on the balance sheet date assets and liabilities associated with discontinued components have not been completely disposed, they are to be listed separately in the asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.
In addition to the summary income or loss number reported in the income statement, the total revenue associated with the discontinued operations should be disclosed in the financial statement notes.

43. To be reported as an extraordinary item the event must be BOTH:
Extraordinary Items

Infrequent.

44. Not Extraordinary—p. 174
Write-down or write-off of receivables, inventory, etc.
Effects of a strike.
Gains or losses from exchange or remeasurement of foreign currencies.
Gains or losses on disposal of business segment.
Gains or losses from sale or abandonment of productive assets.
Adjustment of accruals on long-term contracts.

45. Changes in Accounting Principle
To provide more useful information (not just for economic purpose.)
Is usually the result of a FASB pronouncement or SEC directive

46. Changes in Accounting Principle
Disclosure Requirements:
Report current year’s income components on the new basis.
Determine how the income statement would be different in past years if the new accounting method would have been used; see p. 176

47. Change in Estimate
Estimates are always made using the best available information at the statement date
Revision of estimates is normal, and part of the continuing accounting process
Changes in estimates should be reflected in the current period and future periods. No retroactive adjustments are made.
Disclose as supplemental note

48. Net Income or Loss
What is it? Income or Loss from continuing operations
Combined with the results of discontinued operations and extraordinary items
Provides a summary of the company’s performance for a period
Is often measured and compared using the ratio of return on sales:
Net Income / Net Sales

49. Earnings Per Share
Represents the amount of net income associated with a share of common stock
EPS amounts are computed for income from continuing operations
And EPS amounts are calculated for each irregular or extraordinary item.

50. Earnings Per Share Formula for Income from Continuing Operations
Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
*less dividends paid or promised to Preferred Stock

51. Earnings per Share
Basic EPS based on shares actually outstanding during the year
Diluted EPS represents additional stock which may result from stock options or other conversion rights (resulting in a potentially larger number of shares of stock)

52. Widely referred to as the PE ratio
Earnings Per Share
Price-Earnings Ratio
Market value per share

53. Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income- the amount that reflects the change in a company’s wealth during the period.
It includes items that arise from changes in market conditions unrelated to the business operations of a company.
Most companies include a report of comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity.

54. Comprehensive Income
The more common adjustments made in arriving at comprehensive income are:
Foreign currency translation adjustments.
Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.
Deferred gains and losses on derivative financial instruments.

55. Forecasting Future Performance
Financial statements report the past, but are used to predict the future.
Key to a good forecast involves identifying factors that determine a certain level of revenue or expense.
Forecasting starts with a forecast for sales.
Most expense forecast are driven from the sales forecast.
