Problems

 

Use the following to answer questions 78–80:

 

On September 1, 2016, Jacob Furniture Mart enters into a tentative agreement to sell the assets of its office equipment division.  This division qualifies as a component of the entity according to GAAP regarding discontinued operations.  The division's contribution to Jacob's operating income for 2016 was a $3 million loss before taxes.  Jacob has an average tax rate of 30%. 

 

Required: Consider independently the appropriate accounting by Jacob under the three scenarios below.

 

     78.   Scenario 1: Assume that Jacob sold the division's assets on December 31, 2016, for $24 million.  The book value of the division's assets was $19 million at that date.  Under these assumptions, what would Jacob report in its 2016 income statement regarding the office equipment division?  Explain where this information would be presented.

 

Answer: Scenario 1: Jacob would report $1.4 million ($3,000,000 – $5,000,000 gain = $2,000,000.  $2,000,000 net of $600,000 in taxes = $1,400,000) as income from discontinued operations.  This income would be reported as a separate item between income from continuing operations and net income in Jacob's income statement.

     79.   Scenario 2: Assume that Jacob had not yet sold the division's assets by the end of 2016.  Further, assume that the fair value less costs to sell of the division's assets at December 31, 2016, was $24 million and was expected to remain the same when the assets are sold in 2017.   The book value of the division's assets was $19 million at the end of the year.  Under these assumptions, what would Jacob report in its 2016 income statement regarding the office equipment division? Explain where this information would be presented.

 

Answer: Scenario 2: Jacob would report $2.1 million loss ($3,000,000 operating loss net of $900,000 in tax benefit) from discontinued operations.  This loss would be reported as a separate item between income from continuing operations and net income in Jacob's income statement.  The gain on sale of the division's assets would not be recorded until realized in 2017.

     80.   Scenario 3: Assume that Jacob had not yet sold the office furniture division by the end of 2016.  Further, assume that the fair value less costs to sell of the division's assets at December 31, 2016, was $12 million and was expected to remain the same when the assets are sold in 2017.   The book value of the division's assets was $19 million at the end of the year.   Under these assumptions, what would Jacob report in its 2016 income statement regarding the office equipment division?  Explain where this information would be presented.

 

Answer: Scenario 3: Jacob would report a $7.0 million loss ($3,000,000 operating loss + $7,000,000 impairment loss = $10,000,000. $10,000,000 net of $3.0 million in tax benefit = $7,000,000) from discontinued operations.  The loss represents the total of the predisposal loss from operating the division ($3 million) and the impairment of the division's assets ($7 million) that will be sold in 2017.  This $7.0 million net-of-tax loss ($10 million x [1 – .30]) would be reported as a separate item between income from continuing operations and net income in Jacob's income statement.

     99.   Briefly explain when and why intraperiod tax allocation is necessary.

 

Answer: Intraperiod tax allocation associates income tax expense with each component of income that causes it. It is required when a discontinued operation is reported.

   100.   Briefly explain why the income statement is referred to as a change statement.

 

Answer: The income statement is one of three primary financial statements that is a change statement. That is, it reports on activities over a distinct period that caused some element or elements of financial position to change. Specifically, the income statement reports periodic revenues, gains, expenses, and losses, that is, changes in the retained earnings component of shareholders’ equity. A year is the longest time frame reported. Statements covering periods of less than a year are referred to as interim statements.

   101.   Net income, often referred to as "the bottom line," is not always a good predictor of future income. Explain this statement.

 

Answer: Net income is of low quality when items such as discontinued operations or other unusual items are present. Income from continuing operations becomes more important when these items are present. Material items included in continuing operations, such as restructuring charges, may make income from continuing operations fuzzy (in terms of its relation to future profitability) as well.

   102.   Explain, using an example, how a company can use earnings management and justify it by conservatism.

 

Answer: To comply with accrual accounting, companies must estimate various items that impact income.  For example, the use of allowances for such items such as bad debts and warranties requires professional judgment for estimating appropriate amounts that will affect both the income statement and the balance sheet.  These allowances are reviewed each period to make further adjustments to the respective allowance account.  If a company was having a very good performance year and anticipated a more difficult year in the future, it might create a larger than usual allowance adjustment (expense) in the current year, justifying it by conservatism, that could lead to taking a smaller adjustment (expense) in a later period.  By doing so, current income would be pushed into the future, thereby shifting earnings.

   103.   In a recent press release, Foot Locker Inc. reported that its fiscal first-quarter net income fell 46% due to losses related to discontinued operations, but earnings from continuing operations jumped 19% amid a modest increase in sales. The specialty athletic retailer said net income was $20 million for the quarter ended May 4, compared with net income of $37 million a year earlier. The latest results included a loss of $18 million from discontinued operations. Last year, the company had earnings of $5 million, or four cents a share, from discontinued operations. Foot Locker said earnings from continuing operations were $38 million, compared with $32 million a year earlier.  Discuss how Foot Locker's press release relates to its earnings quality.

 

Answer: Separating the reported loss on the discontinued component of its operations allows users to assess the permanent (going forward) component of Foot Locker's earnings.  By doing so, the reader will note that the company actually improved the performance of the continuing part of its operations, thereby suggesting an upward trend in future earnings.  While this may not occur, it is likely to be a better predictor of future earnings than one based on bottom line net income.

   104.   In a recent press release, Estee Lauder Co. reported "a fiscal fourth-quarter loss due to a restructuring charge but said it expects to see earnings growth in its fiscal second through fourth quarters."  The New York skin care and cosmetics company reported a net loss of $25.4 million, or 13 cents a share, for the quarter ended June 30, compared with net income of $20.4 million, or six cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding the restructuring charge of $76.9 million, or 32 cents a share, the company said profit would have been $51.5 million, or 19 cents a share.   Discuss how Estee Lauder's press release relates to its earnings quality.

 

Answer: Company management is pointing out that, in their opinion, the loss from the restructuring charge is transitory and should not be considered part of permanent earnings.  In addition, by taking the charge now, future earnings seem likely to be on an upward trend.

   105.   Briefly define discontinued operations and explain how they are reported according to U.S. GAAP.

 

Answer: A discontinued operation is defined as a component of an entity or a group of components.  A component is any part of the company, such as an operating segment or subsidiary, that includes operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the company.  A component or group of components that has been sold or disposed of in some other way, or is considered held for sale is reported as a discontinued operation if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on a company’s operations and financial results.  Discontinued operations are reported, net of tax, after income from continuing operations.

   106.   Presented below is an excerpt ($ in millions) from the 2014 annual report to shareholders of Microsoft Corporation.  Explain how the shareholder should interpret the difference between the net income and total comprehensive income for Microsoft in 2014.

           

Comprehensive Income:

 

   Net income

$21,863

   Other comprehensive income (loss), net of
         tax:

 

   Net unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives

(26)

   Foreign currency translation 

(16)

   Net unrealized gains on investments 

    363

     Other comprehensive income

   321

   

 

Total comprehensive income   

$22,184

 

Answer: The $21,863 million in net income is the reported results of operations for the year, measured according to GAAP.  In this measure, certain nonowner changes in equity are omitted, such as the effects of holding assets in foreign currencies that are subject to fluctuation, unrealized gains and losses on certain marketable securities, and the effects of hedging derivative contracts.  Although these events are not reported directly in the income statement, they are disclosed in the computation of comprehensive income.  By disclosing them there, the company reports the entire nonowner change in equity for the year.
