...P6-38 (30 minutes) a. Best Buy (a retailer) reports a much higher receivables turnover rate than does the manufacturer, Caterpillar. The likely reason for this is that retail sales are usually via cash, check, or credit cards (which are like cash for the retailers). Recall that the turnover ratio includes credit sales, but, because most firms do not report credit sales, we are forced to use total sales when we calculate the turnover ratio. Using total sales instead of credit sales overstates the turnover ratio. Manufacturers, on the other hand, usually sell to retailers on credit and the accounts are not collected for a much longer period of time. CAT has a finance subsidiary that provides loan and lease financing. The longer term of these receivables reduces turnover rates. Walmart, on the other hand, is primarily cash-and-carry, hence its high turnover rate for accounts receivable. b. Dell’s relatively higher inventory turnover rate, compared with Caterpillar, most likely reflects the fact that Dell builds to order, not in anticipation of demand. That is, raw materials are not acquired until needed in the production process and components are built by sub-contractors. Both of these techniques reduce the amount of work-in-process inventories that Dell must carry. In addition, Dell does not generally inventory finished products since production commences once the order is placed by its customers. CAT, on the other hand, builds a relatively smaller...

...mortgages payable, pension liabilities, and lease liabilities. This assignment will define basic terms such as long-term debt, bonds, mortgage, and capital leases. In addition answer questions in reference to the ABC Company journal entries, postretirement and note disclosure. A bond arises from a contract known as a bond indenture. A bond is a form of a long term promissory note that is regulated under the federal securities law or state laws. Typically, a bond represents a promise to pay. Bonds are a unique way to raise capital for organizational needs. Bonds are accounted for in a similar to notes payable with the exception that bonds are normally issued to different lenders. These lenders, also known as investors, may sell their bonds to another investor prior to their maturity. There are several types of bonds, however, the more common forms of bonds are secured and unsecured bonds. Secured bonds are backed by the borrower’s collateral, thus meaning no tangible property or any other kind of product is attached to that debt. A well-known example of a secured bond is a mortgage. As for the unsecured bonds, there is no collateral required and common examples of unsecured debts are arrangements such as credit cards, medical bills and store cards. Regardless of the type of liability, companies are required to show the interest rate, maturity dates, current interest expense, and future interest and principle payments by period. Firms often choose to lease...

...Restructuring Debt Name Financial Reporting/ACC 545 Date Professor PART A Long-term debt includes loans and financial obligations due or payable within a year or longer. Long-term debt liabilities appear on the company’s balance sheet and can include bonds payable, long-term notes payable, mortgages payable, pension liabilities, and lease liabilities (Kieso, Weygandt &Warfield). A corporation’s bylaws usually require approval by the board of directors and the stockholders before long-term debt arrangements can be made (Kieso, Weygandt &Warfield). A bond is basically a company’s promise to pay an amount of money at a specific maturity date, including periodic interest at a specified rate on the maturity or face value amount. The bond is valued at the present value of the expected future cash flows. Investors may be willing to pay a different rate the stated rate. This difference between the face value of the bonds and the present value set by the investors’ results in either a discount or premium (Kieso, Weygandt &Warfield). The accounting for notes is very similar to the accounting for bonds. Like a bond, a note is valued at the present value of its future interest and principal cash flows. The company amortizes any discount premium over the life of the note, just as it would the discount or premium on a bond (Kieso, Weygandt &Warfield). The most common form of long-term notes payable is a mortgage note payable. This is a promissory note secured by a mortgage...

...reporting requirements and hence in its presentation in the financial statements. The following compares the current reporting for debt and each type of bonds. • Long term bond liabilities – reported at amortized value. If a bond was issued at a premium, the total bond liability reported by the issuer is equal to the par value plus the unamortized premium. Par value of bond liability ± Unamortized premium (discount) • Capital leases are included in the company’s liabilities while operating leases are not. Capital leases are recorded at the present value of the periodic lease payment discounted at the lessee’s cost of capital less the cumulative principal component of the periodic lease payment. • Mortgage payable are reported not unlike that of the reporting requirement for bonds and capital leases liabilities. The present value of the periodic payments is computed at the discount rate adjusted for the principal payment component of the periodic mortgage payment. • Pension liability. It is that a minimum liability related to employee pension plan be reported if at the balance sheet date the accumulated benefit obligation or ABO exceeds the fair value of the plan assets. The ABO estimates the present value of benefits already earned by the company’s employees without considering future salary benefits. • Debt restructuring. Given substantive modification of any of the terms of the existing debt or a purchase or other settlement of an existing debt through repayment...

...at their amortized value. This means that if a bond was issued at a premium, the total bond liability at the end of the reporting period will be the total par value of the bond and the premium received less issuance cost. However, if it was issued at a discount, it would be the total par value less unamortized discount. Only capital leases are included in the company’s liabilities, operating leases are not. Capital leases are recorded at the present value of the periodic lease payments discounted at the lessee’s cost of capital or the lessor’s implicit rate, if known by the lessee, whichever is lower. Subsequently, the capital lease reported in the balance sheet at the end of each reporting period is the net of principal payment component of the lease payment. Mortgage payables are reported in the financial statements in the same way that as bonds and capital leases liabilities. The present value of the periodic payments is computed at the discount rate and decreased by the principal payment component of the periodic mortgage payment each period. It is required that a company reports a minimum liability related to its employee pension plan if and only if the accumulated benefit obligation or ABO exceeds the fair value of the plan assets. In debt restructuring, if there is a substantive modification of any of the terms of the existing debt or a purchase or other settlement of an existing debt through repayment or replacement, then the debtor needs to account for a gain...

In order to achieve long-term sustainable growth they look at their brands, financial strength, unrivaled distribution system, global reach, and a strong commitment by management and associates worldwide. The company focuses on inspiring their employees, satisfying customer desires, nurturing partners, making a global difference, maximizing returns to shareowners, and managing for overall effectiveness. The financial statement that the Coca Cola Company provides shows their strong leadership by the data they present. By discussions held in class it allows us to analyze the following detail: stockholders’ equity, dilutive securities and earnings per share, investments, revenue recognition, income taxes, pensions and postretirement benefits, leases, changes and error analysis, and cash flows. All numbers presented throughout this discussion are in millions. With respect to the Coca Cola statement, we have determined that through the owner’s equity the corporation had three categories: capital stock, additional paid in capital, and reinvested earnings. As we discussed in chapter 15, common stock can be issued par value, no-par, lump-sum sales, and noncash transactions. We have determined that the Coca Cola Company did not issue preferred stock. If Coca Cola were to issue preferred stock it would give features to the holders that differs from those who were issued common stock.
