Chapter 4, Problem 9C

Situation

You are the assistant accountant for Tyler Corporation. It is mid-January 2020 and you are helping to prepare Tyler’s balance sheet for December 31, 2019. Tyler will publish this balance sheet on March 1, 2020, after the auditors have completed their work. Tyler has a $100,000 note payable that was issued in 2018 and that is due March 6, 2020. On January 5, 2020, Tyler sold 2,000 shares of its $10 par common stock for $80,000. Its intent is to use these proceeds (plus $20,000 cash it already has on hand) to repay the note payable on March 6. The head accountant says “I’m not sure how to classify the $100,000 note payable on the December 31, 2019, balance sheet. Check this out for me.”

Directions

Research the related generally accepted accounting principles and prepare a short memo to the head accountant that explains how Tyler should report the $100,000 note payable on its December 31, 2019, balance sheet.

Recently, Abercrombie & Fitch has been implementing a turnaround strategy since its sales had been falling for the past few years (11% decrease in 2014, 8% in 2015, and just 3% in 2016.) One part of Abercrombie's new strategy has been to abandon its logo-adorned merchandise, replacing it with a subtler look. Abercrombie wrote down $20.6 million of inventory, including logo-adorned merchandise, during the year ending January 30, 2016. Some of this inventory dated back to late 2013. The write-down was net of the amount it would be able to recover selling the inventory at a discount. The write-down is significant; Abercrombie's reported net income after this write-down was $35.6 million. Interestingly, Abercrombie excluded the inventory write-down from its non-GAAP income measures presented to investors; GAAP earnings were also included in the same report. Question: What impact would the write-down of inventory have had on Abercrombie's expenses, Gross margin, and Net income?
