Selling, general, and administrative expenses (including depreciation) 2. Research, development and engineering expenses 3. Interest expenses Depreciation • The process of spreading the costs of long-lived assets such as building and equipment over the total number of accounting periods in which they are expected to be used 14-16 Income Statement Net Income • The total profit (or loss) after all expenses, including taxes, have been deducted from revenue; also called net earnings Most companies present the current year’s results along with the previous two years’ income statements The portion of net income the business does not keep is what it pays out as dividends to shareholders 14-17 Balance Sheet Balance Sheet • A “snapshot” of an organization’s financial position at a given moment • Shows assets and the funding used to pay for these assets, such as bank debt or owners’ equity • Takes its name from its reliance on the accounting equation: assets must equal liabilities plus owners’ equity • The balance sheet is an accumulation of all financial transactions since the company’s founding 14-18 Balance Sheet - Assets Listed in descending order of liquidity – how fast they can be turned into cash Current Assets • Assets used or converted into cash within the course of a calendar year • Cash, temporary investments, accounts receivable and inventory Accounts Receivable • Money owed a company by its clients or customers who have promised to pay for the products at a later date Long-term, or fixed assets represent a commitment of funds of at least one year Items include: long-term investments, plant and equipment, and intangible assets such as reputation, patents and trademarks 14-19 Balance Sheet - Liabilities Current Liabilities • A firm’s financial obligation to short-term creditors, which must be repaid within one year Accounts Payable • The amount a company owes to suppliers for goods and services purchased with credit Accrued Expenses • An account representing all unpaid financial obligations incurred by the organization 14-20 Pro Forma Financial Statements Pro forma financial statements are used to make decisions about future operations changes within a company Include balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. When a company is considering a change, composing pro forma financial statements will show Whether profits will increase or decrease The magnitude of expenses involved Whether the company needs financing to facilitate the proposed change 14-21 Statement of Cash Flows Statement of Cash Flows • Explains how the company’s cash changed from the beginning of the accounting period to the end The balance sheet shows the cash account in one point of time; most investors want a better picture of how cash flows into and out of the company The statement of cash flows takes the cash balance from one year’s balance sheet and compares it with the next while providing detail about how the firm used the cash 14-22 Statement of Cash Flows The change in cash is detailed in these three categories Cash From Operating Activities • Calculated by combining the changes in the revenue, expense, current assets and current liability accounts Cash From Investing Activities • Calculated from changes in the long-term or fixed asset accounts Cash From Financing Activities • Calculated from changes in the long-term liability accounts and the contributed capital accounts in owners’ equity 14-23 Ratio Analysis Ratio Analysis • Calculations that measure an organization’s financial health Profitability Ratios • Ratios measuring the amount of operating income or net income an organization is able to generate relative to its assets, owners’ equity, and sales 14-24 Profitability Ratios Net Income (Net Earnings) $1,245.7 Profit Margin = i=i = 10.65% Sales (Total Net Revenues) $11,700.4 So, for every $1 in sales, Starbucks generated profits after taxes of nearly 11 cents 14-25 Profitability Ratios Return on Assets = Net Income (Net Earnings) $1,245.7 i=i = 16.92% Total Assets $7,360.4 For every $1 in assets, Starbucks generated a return of close to 17%, or profits of 16.92 cents 14-26 Profitability Ratios Net Income $1,245.7 Return on Equity = i=i = 28.39% Stockholders' Equity $4,387.3 For every $1 invested by Starbucks stockholders, the company earns 28.39% return, or 28.39 cents 14-27 Asset Utilization Ratios Asset Utilization Ratios • Ratios that measure how well a firm uses its assets to generate each $1 of sales Managers use asset utilization ratios to pinpoint areas of inefficiency in their operations These ratios – receivables turnover, inventory turnover, and total asset turnover – relate balance sheet assets to sales, which are found on the income statement 14-28 Asset Utilization Ratios Sales (Total Net Revenues) $11,700.4 Receivables Turnover = i=i = 30.27 X Receivables $386.5 Starbucks collected its receivables a little more than 30 times per year; mainly because most of their sales are in cash and not credit 14-29 Asset Utilization Ratios Inventory Turnover = Sales (Total Net Revenues) $11,700.4 i=i = 12.11X Inventory $965.8 Starbucks’ inventory turnover indicates they replaced their inventory 12.11 times last year, or slightly more than once a month 14-30 Asset Utilization Ratios Total Asset Turnover = Sales (Total Net Revenues) $11,700.40 = = 1.59X Total Assets $7,360.40 Starbucks generated $1.59 in sales for every $1 in total corporate assets 14-31 Liquidity Ratios Liquidity Ratios • Ratios that measure the speed with which a company can turn its assets into cash to meet short-term debt High liquidity ratios may satisfy a creditor’s need for safety, but may indicate the company is not using its current assets efficiently Liquidity ratios are best examined in conjunction with asset utilization ratios because high turnover ratios imply cash is flowing through very quickly 14-32 Liquidity Ratios Current Ratio = Current Assets $3,794.9 i=i = 1.83X Current Liabilities $2,075.8 Starbuck’s current ratio indicates that for every $1 of current liabilities, the firm had $1.83 of current assets on hand 14-33 Liquidity Ratios Current Assets - Inventory Quick Ratio = i=i Current Liabilities $2,829.1 $2,075.8 = 1.36X In 2011, Starbucks had $1.36 invested in current assets (after subtracting inventory) for every $1 of current liabilities 14-34 Debt Utilization Ratios Debt Utilization Ratios • Ratios that measure how much debt an organization is using relative to other sources of capital, such as owners’ equity Debt financing is riskier than equity as it demands a monthly payment regardless of profitability Recessions affect heavily indebted firms far more than those financed through equity Most companies tend to keep debt-to-asset levels below 50 percent 14-35 Debt Utilization Ratios Debt to Total Assets = Debt (Total Liabilities) i=i Total Assets $2,973.1 = 40% $7,360.4 For every $1 of Starbucks’ total assets, 40% is financed with debt and 60% with owners’ equity 14-36 Debt Utilization Ratios EBIT (Operating Income) $1,728.5 Times Interest Earned = i=i = 51.91X Interest $33.3 Starbucks paid $33.3 million in interest expense, but that amount was covered nearly 51.91 times by income before interest and taxes 14-37 Per Share Data Net Income $1,245.7 Diluted Earnings Per Share = i=i = $1.62 # Of Shares Outstanding (Diluted) 769.7 Starbucks lists diluted earnings per share as $1.62 in 2011, diluted shares include potential shares that could be issued 14-38 Per Share Data Dividends Per Share = Dividends Paid $389.5 i=i = $0.52 # Of Shares Outstanding 748.3 The dividend declared on the income statement was 0 but the actual dividends paid were 52 cents 14-39 Importance of Integrity in Accounting The recent financial crisis and recession showed another example of a failure in accounting reporting Banks and other financial institutions often held assets off their books by manipulating accounts On the other hand, the city of El Dorado, Kansas made transparency a top priority and won a Certificate of Achievement for Financial Accounting Transparency and accuracy in reporting revenue, income and assets develops trust from investors and other stakeholders 14-40 Discussion ? ? Why are accountants so important to a corporation? What function do they perform? Why are debt ratios important in assessing the risk of the firm?
