Ethical Issue: Moss Exports is having a bad year. Net Income is only $60,000. Also, two important overseas customers are falling behind in their payments to Moss, and Moss's Accounts Receivable are ballooning (these two customers owe Moss $80,000 combined). The company desperately needs a loan. The Moss Exports Board of Directors is considering ways to put the best face on the company's financial statements. Moss's bank closely examines cash flow from operating activities. Daniel Peavey, Moss's Controller, suggests reclassifying the receivables from the two overseas customers as long-term assets. He explains to the Board that removing the $80,000 increase in Accounts Receivable from current assets will increase the net cash provided by operations.This approach may help get Moss the loan.
1. Using only the amounts given, compute net cash provided by operations, both without and with the reclassification of the receivables.
Which reporting makes Moss look better?

The controller is looking over the invoices for bills that need to be paid this week, and realizes the company is approximately $7,000 short. The only account with excess cash is mandated to be used only for cases of workers' compensation. Can the controller pull the money from that account? O No, that is a short-term investment account, and the money cannot be converted into cash that quickly. O Yes, it is a cash equivalent account, which can be used to supply the money for the bills as long as the money is replaced within the month. O No, that is restricted cash and the money cannot be taken out to cover other expenses.

As a member of top management, Kohler participates in an attractive company bonus plan. The overall size of the bonus is a function of the firm's net income before bonus and income taxes - the larger the net income, the larger the bonus. Due to a slowdown in the economy due to Coronavirus, the company has encountered difficulty in managing its cash flow. The company auditors have recommended that the company change its inventory method from FIFO to LIFO . The change would cause a significant increase in the cost of goods sold for the year. Kohler thinks the company shouldn't switch to LIFO b/c its inventory quantities are too large. After expressing this opinion to the firm's treasurer, Kohler is stunned at the treasurer's reply "Reed, I can't believe that after all these years with the company, you put your personal interests ahead of the companies…arrow_forward

- Katie Murphy is preparing for a meeting with her banker. Her business is finishing its fourth year of operations. In the first year, it had negative cash flows from operations. In the second and third years, cash flows from operations were positive. However, inventory costs rose significantly in Year 4, and cash flows from operations will probably be down 25%. Murphy wants to secure a line of credit from her banker as a financing buffer. From experience, she knows the banker will scrutinize operating cash flows for Years 1 through 4 and will want a projected number for Year 5. Murphy knows that a steady progression upward in operating cash flows for Years 1 through 4 will help her case. She decides to use her discretion as owner and considers several business actions that will turn her operating cash flow in Year 4 from a decrease to an increase. Required 1.
