Stitch in Time “Drive loyalty and relevance for customers” —KATRINA LAKE SAN FRANCISCO—Katrina Lake planned to pursue a health care career until she came up with a business idea as part of a class project. “I looked at people like [Google founders] Larry Page and Sergey Brin," recalls Katrina, “It took me a while to think that this was a path that was available to me.” Katrina believed in her idea and launched her business, Stitch Fix (Stitchfix.com). Stitch Fix is an online subscription service that sends stylish clothes to customers' homes, Katrina’s business has taken off. Stitch Fix already has over 2 million customers, and the company recently began offering its stock for sale to the public (ticker: SFIX), which makes Katrina the youngest woman ever to take a company public. Admits Katrina, “We've been underestimated before.” Katrina explains that accounting is one key to her success. In the early stages of her business, Katrina set up an accounting system to track sales and expenses. She also made sure her financial reports were top quality to attract investors. Katrina asserts that reliable numbers cause “people [investors] to pay more attention.” Katrina is among the best at using accounting analytics to predict customer preferences. Much of what drives Stitch Fix's success is its algorithm that recommends clothing to customers. Sources: Stitch Fix website, Janusry 2020; CNN, July 2018; Time.com, May 2018 Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images This drives additional sales and further subscription revenue Katrina says that her use of accounting analytics is “what makes this company special!” We introduced financial statements in Chapter 1. This chapter extends that discussion to analysis of financial statements and the underlying transactions. Transaction analysis is slowly introduced over Chapters 1. 2, and 3. Financial statement analysis is covered in all chapters. We begin this chapter with an overview of financial statement analysis, which is applying analytical tools to financial statements for making business decisions. Analyzing Financial Statements Financial statement analysis is used by both inter- nal and external users. Internal users use it to improve company efficiency and effectiveness in providing products and services. External users use financial analysis for investing, lending, and evaluating management. For example, analysts such as Moody’s use financial statements in making buy/sell stock advice and in setting credit ratings. Financial Results Assessing Company Results When interpreting financial statements, we use stan- dards (benchmarks) for comparisons that include the following. ® Intracompany—comparing company results across two or more periods; an example is com- paring Apple’s current income to its prior-year income. ® Intercompany—comparing results across competitors; an example is comparing Apple’s profit margin to that of Samsung, ® Industry—comparing results (o industry norms: an example is comparing Apple’s profit margin to the industry’s profit margin. ® Guidelines (rules of thumb)—comparing results to standards based on experience; an example is the 2:1 level for the current ratio. 45
46 Chapter 2 Financial Statements and the Accounting System Using Ratios to Analyze Financial Statements Ratios reveal relations and trends that are difficult to detect by looking at numbers alone. A ratio can be shown as a per- cent, rate, or proportion. A change from $100 to $250 can be expressed as (1) 150% increase, (2) 2.5 times, or (3) 2.5to 1 (or 2.5:1). Building Blocks of Analysis Financial statement analysis focuses on four building blocks of analysis. The four building blocks cover different, but interrelated, parts of a com- pany’s financial condition or performance. We view these blocks as making up the four legs of a table, where the four must work for the table to perform properly. ® Liquidity—ability to meet short-term obligations and generate revenues. Performance and Financial Condition ® Solvency—ability to meet long-term obligations and generate future revenues. ® Profitability—ability to provide financial rewards to attract and retain financing. Markets P | - ® Market prospects—ability to generate positive market expectations. Financial Ratios for Business Decisions The Decision Analysis section in each chapter covers one or mere ratios relevant to that chapter. Exhibit 13.16 in Chapter 13 orga- nizes these ratios into measures of liquidity, solvency, profitability, and market prospects. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMEN C1 Describe an account and its use in recording transactions. Point: Acc Business transactions and events are the starting points of financial statements. The process to go from transactions and events to financial statements includes the following. ® [dentify each transaction and event from source documents. ® Analyze each transaction and event using the accounting equation. @ Record relevant transactions and events in a journal. [ =l ® Post journal information to E ledger accounts. i q ® Prepare and analyze the = 3 trial balance and financial statements. Transacians reported Source Documents Source documents identify and describe transactions and events entering the accounting sys- tem. They can be in hard copy or electronic form. Examples are sales receipts, checks, purchase orders, bills from suppliers, payroll records, and bank statements. For example, cash registers record each sale on a tape or electronic file. This record is a source document for recording sales in the accounting system. Source documents are objective and reliable evidence about transac- tions and events and their amounts. The “Account” Underlying Financial Statements An account is a record of increases and decreases in a specific asset, liability, equity, revenue, or expense. The general ledger, or simply ledger, is a record of all accounts used by a company. The ledger is often in electronic form. While most companies’ ledgers have similar accounts, a
Chapter 2 Financial Statements and the Accounting System s Asset Accounts Equity Accounts 47 company often uses one or more unique accounts to match its type of operations. An unclassified balance sheet broadly groups accounts into assets, liabilities, and equity. Exhibit 2.1 shows common asset, liability, and equity accounts, Asset Accounts Assets are resources owned or controlled by a company. Resources have expected future benefits. Most accounting systems include (at a minimum) separate accounts for the assets described here., Cash A Cash account shows a company’s cash balance. All increases and decreases in cash are recorded in the Cash account. It includes money and any funds that a bank accepts for deposit (coins, checks, money orders, and checking account balances). Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are held by a seller and are promises of payment from customers to sellers. Accounts receivable are increased by credit sales or sales on credit (or on account). They are decreased by customer payments. We record all increases and decreases in receivables in the Accounts Receivable account. When there are multiple custom- ers, scparate records arc kept for each, titled Accounts Receivable—‘Customer Name'. Notes Receivable A note receivable, or promissory note, is a written promise of another entity to pay a specific sum of money on a specified future date to the holder of the note; the holder has an asset recorded in a Notes Receivable account. It is different than accounts receiv- able because it comes from a formal contract called a promissory note. Notes receivable usually require interest, whereas accounts receivable do not. Prepaid Accounts Prepaid accounts (or prepaid expenses) are assets from prepayments of future expenses (expenses expected to be incurred in future accounting periods). When the expenses are later incurred, the amounts in prepaid accounts are transferred to expense accounts. Common examples of prepaid accounts are prepaid insurance, prepaid rent, and prepaid ser- vices. Prepaid accounts expire with the passage of time (such as with rent) or through use (such as with prepaid meal plans). Chapter 3 covers prepaid accounts in detail. Supplies Accounts Supplies are assets until they are used. When they are used up, their costs are reported as expenses. Unused supplies are recorded in a Supplies asset account. Sup- plies often are grouped by purpose—for example, office supplies and store supplies. Equipment Accounts Equipment is an asset. When equipment is used and wears down, its cost is gradually reported as an expense (called depreciation). Equipment often is grouped by its purpose—for example, office equipment and store equipment. Buildings Accounts Buildings such as stores, offices, warehouses, and factories are assets because they provide expected future benefits. When a building is used and wears down, its cost is reported as an expense (called depreciation). When several buildings are owned, separate accounts are sometimes kept for each of them. Land The cost of land is recorded in a Land account. The cost of buildings located on the land is separately recorded in building accounts. EXHIBIT 2.1 Accounts Organized by the Accounting Equation

The Center for Women's Business Research reports women-owned businesses (1) total more than 11 million and employ nearly 20 million workers, (2) generate $2.5 trillion in annual sales and tend to embrace technology, and (3) are philanthropic—70% of owners volunleer al least once per month. ® Liability Accounts Liabilities are obligations to transfer assets or provide products or services to others. They are claims (by creditors) against assets. Creditors are individuals and organizations that have rights to receive payments from a company. Debtors are those who owe money. Common liability accounts are described here. Accounts Payable Accounts payable are promises to pay later. Payables can come from pur- chases on credit or on account of merchandise-for-resale, supplics, equipment, and services. We record all increases and decreases in payables in the Accounts Payable account. When there are multiple suppliers, separate records are kept for each, titled Accounts Payable—‘Supplier Name’. Notes Payable A note payable is a written promissory note to pay a future amount. Notes payable are different than accounts payable because they come from a formal contract called a promissory note and usually require interest. Unearned Revenue Accounts Unearned revenue is a liability that is recorded when cus- tomers pay in advance for products or services. Examples of unearned revenue include maga- zine subscriptions collected in advance by a publisher, rent collected in advance by a landlord, and season ticket sales by sports teams. The seller would record these in liability accounts such as Unearned Subscriptions and Unearned Rent. When products and services are later delivered, unearned revenue is transferred to revenue. Accrued Liabilities Accrued liabilities are amounts owed that are not yet paid. Examples are wages payable, taxes payable, and interest payable. These often are recorded in separate liability accounts by the same title. Equity Accounts The owner’s claim on a company’s assets is called equity, stockholders’ equity, or shareholders’ equity. Equity is the owner’s residual interest in the assets of a business after subtracting liabilities. Equity is impacted by four types of accounts. Dividends + Revenues - Expenses Equity = ;\'Commun stn;k = We show this in Exhibit 2.2 by expanding the accounting equation. We also organize assets and liabilities into subgroups that have similar attributes. An important subgroup for both assets Divicends Corrmon Stock Asset Accounts [— Liability Accounts Equity Accounts EXHIBIT 2.2 Accounts Classified by the Expanded Accounting Equation
Chaepter 2 Financial Statements and the Accounting System 49 and liabilities is the current items. Current items are expected to be cither collected or owed within the next ycar, The next chapter explains this. At this point, know that a classified bal- ance sheet groups accounts into classifications (such as land and buildings into Plant Assets) and it reports current assets before noncurrent assets and current liabilities before noncurrent liabilities. Owner Investments When an owner invests in a company, it increases both assets and equity. The increase to equity is recorded in the account titled Common Stock. Owner invest- ments are not revenues of the business. Owner Distributions When a corporation distributes assets to its owners, it decreases both company assets and total equity. The decrease to equity is recorded in an account titled Dividends. Dividends are not expenses of the business; they are simply the opposite of owner investments. Revenue Accounts Sales of products and services to customers are recorded in revenue accounts, which increase equity. Examples of revenue accounts are Sales, Commissions Reve- nue, Professional Fees Revenue, Rent Revenue, and Interest Revenue. Revenues always increase equity. Account titles can differ: product sales are called net sales at Apple. revenues at Google. and revenue at Samsung. Revenues or fees is commonly used with service busi- nesses, and net sales or sales is used with product businesses. Expense Accounts Costs of providing products and services are recorded in expense accounts, which decrease equity. Examples of expense accounts are Advertising Expense, Sala- ries Expense, Rent Expense, Utilities Expense, and Insurance Expense. Expenses always decrease equity. A variety of revenues and expenses are in the chart of accounts at the end of this book. Ledger and Chart of Accounts EXHIBIT 2.3 The collection of all accounts and their balances is called a ledger (or gen- ~ YPice Chert of Accounts for s Smaller Business eral ledger). A company’s size and diversity of operations affect the num- ber of accounts needed. A small company can have as few as 20 accounts; a large company can require thousands. The chart of accounts is a list of all ledger accounts and has an identification number assigned to each account. Exhibit 2.3 shows a common numbering system of accounts for a smaller business. These account numbers have a three-digit code that is useful in record- keeping. In this example, the first digit of asset accounts is a I, the first digit of liability accounts is a 2, and so on. The second and third digits relate to the accounts’ subcategories. Exhibit 2.4 shows a partial chart of accounts for FastForward.

Its name comes from its shape like the letter T. The layout of a T-account is shown in Exhibit 2.5. The left side of an account is called the debit side, or Dr. The right side is called the credit side. or Cr. To enter amounts on the left side of an account is to debir the account. To enter amounts on the right side is to credit the account. The term debit or credit, by itself, does not mean increase or decrease. Whether a debit or a credit is an increase or decrease depends on the account. The difference between total debits and total credits for an account, including any beginning balance, is the account balance. When total debits exceed total credits, the account has a debit balance. Tt has a credit balance when total credits exceed total debits. When total debits equal total credits, the account has a zero balance.

This means total debits must equal total credits for all entries, and total debit account balances in the ledger must equal total credit account balances.

Chapter 2 Financial Statements and the Accounting System Net increases or decreases on one side have equal net effects on the other side. For exam- ple, a net increase in assets must include an equal net increase on the liabilities and equity side. Some transactions affect only one side of the equation, such as acquiring a land asset by giving up a cash asset, but their net cffect on this one side is zero. The left side is the normal balance side for assets; the right side is the normai balance side for liabilities and equity. This matches their layout in the accounting equation, where assets are on the left side and liabilities and equity are on the right. Equity increases from revenues and owner investments (stock issuances), and it decreases from expenses and dividends. We see this by expanding the accounting equation to include debits and credits in double-entry form, as shown in Exhibit 2.7. 51 quation and thus incr an the right EXHIBIT 2.7 Debit and Credit Effects for Component Accounts Dividends Assets = Liabilities Revenues Dr. for Cr. for Dr. for Cr. for Dr. for Cr. for Dr. for Cr. for Dr. for Cr. for Dr. for Cr. for increases | decreases decreases . increases decreases § increases increases § decreases decreases § increases increases §decreases Normal ENfifml Normal Normal Normal Normal Increases (credits) to common stock and revenues increase equity; increases (debits) to dividends and expenses decrease equity.

Journalizing and Posting Transactions actions and their impact on financial statements. The four steps of processing transactions are shown in Exhibit 2.9. Steps 1 and 2—transaction analysis and the accounting equation—already were covered. This section focuses on steps 3 and 4. Step 3 is to record each transaction chronologically in a journal. A journal is a complete record of each transaction in one place. It also shows debits and credits for each transaction. Recording transactions in a journal is called journalizing. Step 4 is to transfer (or post) EXHIBIT 2.9 entries from the journal to the ledger. Transferring journal entry information to the ledger is Steps in Processing called posting.

While companies can use various journals, every company uses a general journal. Tt can be used to record any transaction. Exhibit 2.10 shows how the first two transactions of FastForward are recorded in a general journal. To record entries in a general journal, apply these steps; refer to Exhibit 2.10.

Balance Column Account T-accounts are simple and show how the accounting pro- cess works. However, actual accounting systems need more structure and therefore use a differ- ent formatting of T-accounts, called balance column accounts, shown in Exhibit 2.11. The balance column account format is similar to a T-account in having columns for debits and credits. It is different in including transaction date and explanation columns. It also has a column where the balance of the account after each entry is recorded. FastForward’s Cash account in Exhibit 2.11 is debited on December 1 for the $30.000 owner investment, yielding a $30,000 debit balance. The account is credited on December 2 for $2,500, yielding a $27,500 debit bal- ance. On December 3. it is credited for $26.000, and its debit balance is reduced to $1.500.
Chapter 2 Financial Statements and the Accounting System 53 The Cash account is debited for $4,200 on December 10, and its debit balance increases to EXHIBIT 2.11 $5,700; and so on.

All entries are posted to the ledger before financial statements are prepared so that account balances are up-to-date. When entries are posted to the ledger, the debits in journal entries are transferred into ledger accounts as debits, and credits are transferred into ledger accounts as credits. Exhibit 2.12 shows four parts to posting a journal entry. @) Identify the ledger account(s) that is debited in the entry. In the ledger, enter the entry date, the journal and page in its PR column, the debit amount, and the new balance of the ledger account. (G shows it came from the general journal.) (B) Enter the ledger account number in the PR col- umn of the journal. Parts (C) and D) repeat the first two steps for credit entries and amounts. The posting process creates a link between the ledger and the journal entry. This link is a useful cross-reference for tracing an amount from one record to another.

It is nor a financial statement but a tool for checking equality of debits and credits in the ledger. Exhibit 2.14 shows the trial balance for FastForward after its 16 entries arc posted to the ledger. (This is an unadjusted trial balance. Chapter 3 explains adjustments.) Preparing a Trial Balance Preparing a trial balance has three steps. 1. List each account title and its amount (from the ledger) in the trial balance. 2. Compute the total of debit balances and the total of credit balances. 3. Verity (prove) total debit balances equal total credit balances. P1 Prepare financial statements from a trial balance.

Step 1 is to verify that the Totals. ..o $45300 $45300 trial balance columns are correctly added. If step 1 does not find the error, step 2 is to verify that account balances are accurately entered from the ledger. Step 3 is to see whether a debit (or credit) balance is mistakenly listed in the trial balance as a credit (or debit). A clue to this error is when the difference between total debits and total credits equals twice the amount of the incorrect account balance. Step 4 is to recompute each account balance in the ledger. Step 5 is to verify that each journal entry is properly posted. Step 6 is to verify that the original journal entry has equal debits and credits. At this point, the errors should be uncovered. Financial Statements Prepared from Trial Balance Financial Statements across Time How financial statements are linked in time is shown in Exhibit 2.15. A balance sheet reports an organization’s financial position at a point in time. The income statement, statement of retained earnings, and statement of cash flows report financial performance over a period of time. The three statements in the middle column of Exhibit 2.15 explain how financial position changes from the beginning to the end of a reporting period.

Chapter 2 Financial Statements and the Accounting System It is important to assess a company’s risk of failing to pay its debts. Companies finance their assets with either liabilities or equity. A company that finances a relatively large portion of its assets with liabilities is said to have higher financial leverage. Higher financial leverage means greater risk because liabilities must be repaid and often require regular interest payments (equity financing does not). One measure of the risk associated with liabilities is the debt ratio as defined in Exhibit 2.17. Total liabilities Debt ratio = ki Total assets Costeo’s total liabilities, total assets, and debt ratio for the past three ycars arc shown in Exhibit 2.18. Costco’s debt ratio ranges from a low of 0.63 to a high of 0.70. Its ratio exceeds Walmart’s in each of the last three years, suggesting a higher than average risk from financial leverage. So, is financial leverage good or bad for Costco? The answer: If Costco is making more money with this debt than it is paying the lenders, then it is successfully borrowing money to make more money. A company’s use of debt can turn unprofitable quickly if its return from that money drops below the rate it is paying lenders. Costco Total liabilities. . . . . $25,268 $20.831 $22,174 Total assets. ...... $36,347 $33,163 $33,017 Debtratio. ....... 0.70 0.63 0.67 Walmart Debtratio ........ 0.59 0.58 0.58 @ Decision Maker eEmcEsEART RS R R Investor You consider buying stock in Converse. As part of your analysis, you compute the company’s debt ratio for 2018, 2019, and 2020 as 0.35, 0.74, and 0.94, respectively. Based on the debt ratio, is Converse a low-risk investment? Has the risk of buying Converse stock changed over this period? (The industry debt ratio averages 0.40.) @ Answer The debt ratio suggests that Converse's stock is of higher risk than normal and that this risk is rising. The average industry ratio of 0.40 supports this conclusion. The 2020 debt ratio for Converse is twice the industry norm. Also, a debt ratio approaching 1 0 indicates little to no equity Jasmine Worthy started a haircutting business called Expressions. The following events occurred during its first month. Dec. 1 Worthy invested $3,000 cash and $15,000 of equipment in Expressions in exchange for com- mon stock. 2 Expressions paid $600 cash for furniture for the shop. 3 Expressions paid $500 cash to rent space in a strip mall for December. 4 Expressions purchased $1,200 of equipment on credit (recorded as accounts payable). 5 Expressions opened for business on December 5. Cash received from haircutting services in the first week and a half of business (ended December 15) was $825. 16 Expressions provided $100 of haircutting services on credit. 17 Expressions received a $100 check for services previously rendered on credit. 18 Expressions paid $125 to an assistant for hours worked for the grand opening. 31 Cash received from services provided during the second half of December was $930. 31 Expressions paid $400 cash toward the account payable from December 4. 31 Expressions paid a $900 cash dividend to Worthy (sole sharcholder).
