Most popular questions from this chapter

Identify at least two situations in which application of different accounting methods or accounting estimates results in difficulties in comparing companies.

Maher Inc. reported income from continuing operations before taxes during 2017 of \(790,000. Additional transactions occurring in 2017 but not considered in the \)790,000 are as follows.

  1. The corporation experienced an uninsured flood loss in the amount of \(90,000 during the year.
  2. 2. At the beginning of 2015, the corporation purchased a machine for \)54,000 (salvage value of \(9,000) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation for 2015, 2016, and 2017, but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base.
  3. Sale of securities held as a part of its portfolio resulted in a loss of \)57,000 (pretax).
  4. When its president died, the corporation realized \(150,000 from an insurance policy. The cash surrender value of this policy had been carried on the books as an investment in the amount of \)46,000 (the gain is nontaxable).
  5. The corporation disposed of its recreational division at a loss of \(115,000 before taxes. Assume that this transaction meets the criteria for discontinued operations.
  6. The corporation decided to change its method of inventory pricing from average-cost to the FIFO method. The effect of this change on prior years is to increase 2015 income by \)60,000 and decrease 2016 income by $20,000 before taxes. The FIFO method has been used for 2017. The tax rate on these items is 40%.

Instructions

Prepare an income statement for the year 2017 starting with income from continuing operations before taxes. Compute earnings per share as it should be shown on the face of the income statement. Common shares outstanding for the year are 120,000 shares. (Assume a tax rate of 30% on all items, unless indicated otherwise.)

Tim Mattke Company began operations in 2015 and for simplicity reasons, adopted weighted-average pricing for inventory. In 2017, in accordance with other companies in its industry, Mattke changed its inventory pricing to FIFO. The pretax income data is reported below.

Year Weighted Average FIFO

2015 \(370,000 \)395,000

2016 390,000 \(430,000

2017 410,000 \)450,000

Instructions

  1. What is Mattke鈥檚 net income in 2017? Assume a 35% tax rate in all years.
  2. Compute the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle from weighted-average to FIFO inventory pricing.

Show comparative income statements for Tim Mattke Company, beginning with income before income tax, as presented on the 2017 income statement.

Why should caution be exercised in the use of the net income figure derived in an income statement? What are the objectives of generally accepted accounting principles in their application to the income statement?

Perlman Land Development, Inc. purchased land for \(70,000 and spent \)30,000 developing it. It then sold the land for \(160,000. Sheehan Manufacturing purchased land for a future plant site for \)100,000. Due to a change in plans, Sheehan later sold the land for \(160,000. Should these two companies report the land sales, both at gains of \)60,000, in a similar manner?
