...CHAPTER 2: Recording Process ( SWD: Lecture Review) What is an account? An account is an accounting record of increases and decreases in a specific asset, liability, or owner’s equity item. For example, Softbyte (the company discussed in Chapter 1) would have separate accounts for Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Service Revenue, and Salaries Expense. In its simplest form, an account consists of three parts: (1) a title, (2) a left or debit side, and (3) a right or credit side. Because the format of an account resembles the letter T, we refer to it as a T account. Debits and Credits The terms debit and credit are directional signals: Debit indicates left, and credit indicates right.They indicate which side of a T account a number will be recorded on. Entering an amount on the left side of an account is called debiting the account. Making an entry on the right side is crediting the account.We commonly abbreviate debit as Dr. and credit as Cr. Double-entry accounting system • Each transaction must affect two or more accounts to keep the basic accounting equation in balance. • Recording done by debiting at least one account and crediting another. • DEBITS must equal CREDITS. If Debits are greater than Credits, the account will have a debit balance. If Credits are greater than Debits, the account will have a credit balance. The normal balance of an account is on the side where an increase in the account is recorded. The Journal Companies initially record transactions...

...Chapter 2 Financial Reporting and Analysis REVIEW Financial statements are the most visible products of a company’s financial reporting process. The financial reporting process is governed by accounting rules and standards, managerial incentives, and enforcement and monitoring mechanisms. It is important for a user of financial information to understand the financial reporting environment along with the accounting information presented in financial statements. In this chapter, the concepts underlying financial reporting are discussed with special emphasis on accounting rules. Next the purpose of financial reporting is discussed – its objectives and how these objectives determine both the quality of the accounting information and the principles that underlie the accounting rules. The relevance of accounting information for business analysis and valuation is also discussed and limitations of accounting information are identified. Last, accrual accounting is discussed including the strengths and limitation of accruals, and the implications of accruals for financial statement analysis.

...(1) Uses of Accounting Information and the Financial Statements a. Accounting as an Information System i. Accounting is an information system that measures, processes, and communicates financial information about an economic entity. Accountants focus on the needs of decision makers. ii. External decision makers use financial accounting reports to evaluate how well a business has achieved its goals. These reports are called financial statements. iii. The primary external users of accounting information are investors and creditors. Users with indirect financial interests include, among others, tax authorities (IRS) and regulatory agencies (SEC). b. The Corporate Form of Business i. There are three basic forms of business: 1. Sole Proprietorship: One person is the owner, takes all the profits or losses of the business, and is liable for all of its obligations. 2. Partnership: Two or more owners (“partners”) share the profits and losses of the business according to a prearranged formula. Legally, there is no economic separation between the owners and the business. This unlimited liability of its partners is a key disadvantage of a partnership. 3. Corporation: A business unit chartered by the state that is legally separate from its owners (“stockholders”). Stockholders enjoy limited liability. 4. Limited Liability Company (MM addition): c. The Financial Statements and their Elements i. Income Statement 1. Many people consider the income statement (aka the “Statement...

We have 9% pretax yield X 36% combined taxes = .09x.36=.0324 (3%) .09-.0324=.0576 (6%) The after tax yield= %6 (2-2) Corporate bonds issued by Johnson Corporation currently yield 8%. Municipal bonds of equal risk currently yield 6%. At what tax rate would an investor be indifferent between these two bonds? After Tax Yield (ATy) = (Before tax yield, BTy)(1-T) (8%)(1-T) = (6%)(1-0) = 6% (.08(1-T) = .06 .08 - .08T = .06 -.08T = .06-.08 -.08T = -.02 T = .02/.08 = 25% (2-3) Molteni Motors Inc. recently reported $6 million of net income. Its EBIT was $13 million, and its tax rate was 40%. What was it’s interest expense? Net Income = $6,000,000 Tax rate = 40% EBT = NET Income/ (1-T) = $6,000,000/ (1-.40) = $10,000,000 EBT = EBIT – Interest Expense EBT = $13,000,000 – $10,000,000 Interest expense = $3,000,000 (2-4) Talbot Enterprises recently reported an EBITDA of $8 million and net income of $2.4 million. It had $2.0 million of interest expense, and its corporate tax rate was 40%. What was its charge for depreciation and amortization?

...2 BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Chapter Summary Financial statements are the primary means of communicating financial information to users. Chapter 2 covers the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows. Chapter 1 set forth the objectives of the financial reporting process, and offered the observation that these objectives are met in large part by a set of financial statements. In this chapter, we take up the task of introducing the balance sheet, income statement, and the statement of cash flows. The presentation is organized around the accounting equation. The equation serves as the basis for elementary transaction analysis. A continuing illustration examines the impact of a number of simple transactions upon the balance sheet of a simple service business. Revenue and expense transactions have been included so that we might introduce the income statement and statement of cash flows at an elementary level. This in turn has provided the opportunity to discuss and illustrate statement articulation. Before closing, the chapter emphasizes the importance of adequate disclosure regarding both financial and nonfinancial information, thereby reinforcing the Chapter 1 theme that the financial...
