...In order to determine how income statements and statements of cash flows influence business decisions, it is important to know the definition of the two. Income Statements are defined as the summaries of an entity’s revenues, expenses, gains, and losses for a period of time and thereby reports the entity’s results of operations for that period of time. It determines if an entity operates at a profit during a certain time frame, and reports revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. The Statement of Cash Flows is a financial statement that explains the change of cash flows during a fiscal period. This includes operating cost, investments, and financial activities of an entity. Its purpose is to identify the sources and uses of cash throughout a fiscal period, and report all activities involving operations, investments, and financing. Both statements are very important in making long term and short term decisions in business. Income statements are important in determining these decisions because they allow investors to determine their role in an entity’s success by viewing its operating potential, management to determine decisions within the entity dealing with material costs, sales strategies, and consumer response to those changes, and CEO’s to view revenue reports, expenses of operating costs, and the gains and losses of the entity during a defined fiscal period before making major decisions on the direction of that entity. Statement of cash flow allows CEO’s, Investors, and management...

...Preparing an Income Statement In constructing this muli-step income statement there was only one year available of information so it was hard to compare it to a previous year and see it the numbers have decreased or increased. The information presented on an income statement are not complete and sufficient barometers of financial performance. The income statement is one of many pieces of a financial statement package, and like the other pieces, the income statement is partially the product of a wide range of accounting choices, estimates, and judgments that affect reported results, just as business policies economic conditions and many other variables affect the results. The cost of goods sold percentage for Coyote Inc is 58.5 percent. I was not able to see a previous year but this is important to know because cost of goods sold is the largest expense item for many firms. The gross profit margin figure indicates how much profit the firm is generating after deducting the cost of products or services sold and in this case it’s 41.5 percent. The operating profit measures the overall performance of the company’s operations and in this case it’s 16 percent. The net earnings or the bottom line represents the firm’s profit after consideration of all revenue and expenses reported during an accounting period in this case the net profit margin shows the percentage of profit earned on every sales dollar which is 9 percent.

...Question #6 A. Briefly state how the Income Statement is different from the Cash Flow Statement. Give examples of decisions that can be made from the information provided by each of these statements? -The income statement shows how much revenue a company has earned over a period of time, which is usually for a year. The income statement also reports the costs and expenses associated with earning the revenue. At the bottom of the income statement it shows the net inome, which shows the actual earnings after expenses, taxes, etc are taken out. This can be a net profit or net loss, depending on how the company performed that year. The cash flow statement reports a company’s inflows and outflows of cash. The income statement tells whether or not the company made a profit and the statement of cash flows tells you whether the company generated cash. The statement of cash flows is the more important of the two because with negative cash flows it makes it nearly impossible to pay off your debt. It is possible to have a positive net income, with negative cash flows. -A manager can use the income statement to analyze how much revenue is being lost due to expenses. Expenses are necessary in every business, but there are ways to manage them to save money. It also allows management and investors to decide if the company wants to expand into different markets or create new products. If they see sales are consistently increasing year over year, then it may be a good time...

...How are the income statement and statement of cash flows used to make business decisions? The income statement reflects the company’s financial performance by showing how much money was generated (revenue), how much was spent (expenses), and the difference (profit) between the two over a period of time. It is divided into the operating and non-operating sections. It can also tell how much money shareholders would receive if the company were to distribute all of its net earnings. The cash flow statement provides cumulative information regarding all cash inflow from both its ongoing operations as well as any external investment sources. The cash flow statement is not influenced by any kind of fancy accounting concepts. It is a true reflection of the company’s operating, investing, and financing activities. It helps to show why the company either lost or gained money during that particular period in time. The statement of cash flow parallels the income statement by showing the relationship between the net income and cash flow. The income can be increasing but the cash flow decreasing if the company is not actually collecting cash from its customers. The income statement can tell you whether the company made a profit while the cash flow statement tells you whether it actually generated any cash. Put very simply, the income statement answers the question “How did we do?”, while the cash flow statement answers “Where did the money go?”. Three main groups use financial...

...Accounting 301 June 9, 2014 Ethics Case 4 -7 Income statement presentation of unusual loss Financial statements are very important for many participants in the financing reporting process. High-quality financing reporting is necessary to investors and creditors in decision-making process. Their decisions and judgments depend on accuracy of information presented in those statements. For example, investors try to predict future performance based on the company’s current earnings. They want to invest in a company that is profitable. Misleading information in financial statements can have a negative impact on their decision. Unfortunately, some managers try to manipulate financial statement in order to achieve desired outcomes. Sometimes they intentionally misstate information to present the steady and continuous growth of the company’s earnings. Sometimes they are driven more by personal and selfish reasons. Jim Dietz is a company controller at the Cranor Corporation. They manufacture medical equipment, including x-ray machines. The company has been operating with consistent income growth for a decade. Unexpectedly, in 2013 they experienced the problem with the company’s new line of machines. The machines had a flaw in design and had to be recalled.

...Income Statement Income Statement Revenue: In this section Net Sales reveals both weakness that may be cause for alarm and strengths. We can see that strength prevailed in years 6 to 7 with a 33% increase in net sales that show substantial growth for that period, however, it became a weakness in years 7 to 8 with a 15% decrease in sales, which indicates cause for alarm among management. Due to the unique situation of our riders, sales have been affected by the decrease in sponsorships in our depressed economy. This factor should motivate us to diversify our sources of revenue to prevent such decreases in revenue in the future. Another strength in this area falls under COGS, which has maintained steady movement equivalent to sales and shows that we have made accurate projections in our purchasing decisions. A small gap does exist between our sales and our cost of goods that would allow us to realize a small increase in profit if we can reduce our COGS, so we should consider this an opportunity for improvement in this area. Operating Expenses Selling Expenses: The advertising budget has increased by 37.5% from year 6 to year 7 that shows strength in this area, and increases the chances of having the brand recognized by professional bike riders. A second strength in this area is the proportional fluctuation between some accounts and net sales that displays control of selling expenses.

...7. How do local area networks (LANs) differ from metropolitan area network (MAN)? A local area network (LAN) is a group of microcomputers located in the same general area. It covers a clearly defined small area, such as an office, home network ,one floor or work area, a single building, or a group of buildings. While a metropolitan area network (MAN) connects LANs and BNs located in different areas to each other and to WANs. MANs typically span between three and 30 miles. For example a large university may have a network so large that it may be classified as a MAN. The MAN network usually exist to provide connectivity to local ISPs, cable tv, or large corporations but will not extend beyond the boundaries of a town, city, or metropolitan area.Thus, a MAN lets two remote nodes communicate as if they were part of the same local area network. A MAN usually consists of a number of interconnected LANs and WANs. [Dennis, A. & Fitzgerald, J. (2009), p.31. Business data communication and networking. Wiley] Also LAN are usually connected by Ethernet cables,have high speed connections and relatively inexpensive while MAN are often interconnected wirelessly using microwave radio links or fiber-optics and provide moderately fast transmission rates but can prove costly to install (very expensive). 14.
