BRIEF EXERCISE 4-6
In order to qualify for separate presentation as discontinued
operations on the income statement, the restaurants must be a
component of the entity where the operations, cash flows, and
financial elements are clearly distinguishable from the rest of
the company. A key element is that the group of assets
generates its own net cash flows and is operationally distinct.
Selling the corporate owned stores to franchisees would qualify
for discontinued operations treatment. The stores generate their
own cash flows and are operationally distinct from the
franchised restaurants.

=
20% of cost of good sold
$84,000 = 20% of $420,000
Gross sales X 4% = administrative expenses
Gross sales = $2,100,000 ($84,000 / 4%)
Selling expenses = four times administrative expenses.
(operating expenses consist of selling
and administrative expenses; since
selling expenses are 4/5 of operating
expenses, selling expenses are 4
times administrative expenses.)
= 4 X $84,000
= $336,000

(e) Advantages: Since typically few transactions or adjustments
are made to retained earnings, users have all of the changes
to shareholders’ equity (except for share transactions) on
one page. The combined statement also shows how net
income flows to the balance sheet since the bottom number
is the ending retained earnings balance that corresponds to
the balance sheet. The format can also save on printing costs
by eliminating an extra page.
Disadvantage: The presentation is not as comprehensible
when the combined statements are too long or when
adjustments are required to the opening balance of retained
earnings. The presentation would also not be useful where
the company reports comprehensive income since the other
comprehensive income flows to accumulated other
comprehensive income, whereas net income is closed to
retained earnings.

net of tax $2,600,000
Loss on impairment of net assets of CBTV,
net of tax 150,000
Loss from discontinued operations $2,750,000
(c)
The correction of the gain or loss from disposal of a segment
reported in 2007 should be reported in 2008 in the discontinued
operations section of the income statement, net of tax and with
separate EPS disclosure, supported by an explanation in a note
to the financial statements. The correction receives the same
treatment as a change in estimate.

Discontinued operations (Note XX)
Income from operations of the discontinued
Song and Elwood Division, less applicable

Loss on impairment of assets of
discontinued operations, less applicable
income taxes of $6,000 (14,000) (9,800)

Note XX—Discontinued Operations. On October 5, 2008, the
board of directors decided to dispose of the Song and Elwood
Division by auction on May 10, 2009.
(b)
The cleaning equipment would be shown separately on the
balance sheet as part of noncurrent assets as “noncurrent asset
related to discontinued operations. The asset would be valued at
the lower of its carrying value and fair value less cost to sell. In
this case this means the cleaning equipment would be
remeasured at its estimated selling price of $5,000, which is net
of selling costs.

TIME AND PURPOSE OF PROBLEMS
Problem 4-1 (Time 40-45 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with an opportunity to prepare an income
statement and a retained earnings statement. A number of special items such as
loss from discontinued operations, unusual items, and extraordinary losses are
presented in the problem for analysis purposes. The problem also requires
calculating the tax effect of special item from a net-of-tax amount.
Problem 4-2 (Time 25-30 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with an opportunity to prepare an income
statement and retained earnings statement using the single-step format.
Problem 4-3 (Time 35-45 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with an opportunity to analyse a number of
transactions and to prepare a partial income statement. The problem includes
discontinued operations, extraordinary item, and earnings per share. The student
must also prepare a statement of retained earnings and then discuss the impact
of GAAP classification rules on the assessment of the quality of earnings.
Problem 4-4 (Time 45-55 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with the opportunity to prepare a multiple-step
and single-step income statement and a retained earnings statement from the
same underlying information. The problem emphasizes the differences between
the multiple-step and single-step income statement.
Problem 4-5 (Time 30-35 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with a problem on the income statement
treatment of (1) a usual but infrequently occurring charge, (2) an extraordinary
item and its related tax effect, (3) a change in estimate, and (4) earnings per
share. The student is required to identify the proper income statement treatment
and to provide the rationale for such treatment. A revised income statement must
be prepared.

TIME AND PURPOSE OF PROBLEMS (CONTINUED)
Problem 4-6 (Time 45-50 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student the opportunity to distinguish between different
scenarios involving discontinued operations, extraordinary items and changes in
accounting policy. Three different scenarios are proposed and a combined
statement of income and retained earnings must be prepared. The problem
involves intraperiod tax allocation. This problem is comprehensive.
Problem 4-7 (Time 25-35 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with an opportunity to prepare a retained
earnings statement. A number of special items must be reclassified and reported
in the income statement. This problem illustrates the fact that ending retained
earnings is unaffected by the choice of disclosing items in the income statement
or the retained earnings statement, although the income reported would be
different.
Problem 4-8 (Time 35-45 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with the opportunity to correct a multi-step
income statement. The student must determine which of the items presented
should be presented in the income statement and must prepare a proper income
statement. A combined statement of income and retained earnings is also
required. This statement includes an adjustment to the beginning retained
earnings balance for a change in policy. The student must also discuss the
purpose of intraperiod tax allocation.
Problem 4-9 (Time 25-35 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with a problem to determine the reporting of
several items, which may get special treatment as irregular items. This is a good
problem for a group assignment.
Problem 4-10 (Time 35-45 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with a discontinued operations problem that
requires discussion of balance sheet and income statement disclosure along with
an illustration of the income statement presentation. The student is also required
to discuss the factors applied to justify the use of the discontinued operations
treatment and the impact on users of financial information.

TIME AND PURPOSE OF PROBLEMS (CONTINUED)
Problem 4-11 (Time 35-45 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with the opportunity to comment on deficiencies
in an income statement format. The student is required to comment on such
items as inappropriate heading, incorrect classification of special items, proper
net of tax treatment, and presentation of per share data. The student is also
required to prepare a correct income statement.
Problem 4-12 (Time 20-25 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student a real company context to identify factors that
make income statement information useful. The focus is on overly aggregated
information in a condensed income statement. Additional detail would seem to be
warranted either on the face of the statement or with reference to the notes.
Problem 4-13 (Time 20-25 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with an understanding of conditions where
extraordinary item classification is appropriate. In this problem, it should be
emphasized that in situations where extraordinary item classification is not
permitted, a classification as an unusual item may still be employed.
Problem 4-14 (Time 20-25 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student an illustration of how earnings can be managed.
The case allows students to see the effects of warranty expense timing on the
trend of income and illustrates the potential use of accruals to smooth earnings.

PROBLEM 4-3 (Continued)
(c) The GAAP classification rules assist in assessing the quality
of earnings by separating extraordinary items and
discontinued operations from continuing and non-extraordinary
results of operations. Extraordinary items
involve non-recurring unusual transactions and separating
them from regular operations helps users assess the results
of transactions within management’s control. Discontinued
operations are also presented separately to provide
predictive value. By separating the results of operations that
are being discontinued from ongoing operations, users can
assess ongoing operations and more easily predict future
performance. Results from continuing operations usually
have greater significance for predicting future performance
than do results from nonrecurring activities.
The GAAP classification rules also apply to financial
statement elements and separate revenues and expenses
from gains and losses. This separation helps users assess
the past performance and profitability based on recurring,
regular transactions and predict sustainability of earnings.
GAAP also requires various other items of the income
statement to be disclosed. These also provide information to
users to assess the quality, recurrence and sustainability of
earnings and management’s performance. For example:
government assistance, goodwill impairment, income taxes,
etc.

PROBLEM 4-5
(a)
1. The usual but infrequently occurring charge of $10,500,000
should be disclosed separately, assuming it is material.
This charge is shown above income before extraordinary
items and would not be reported net of tax. This item
should be separately disclosed to inform the user of the
financial statements that this item is not frequently
recurring and therefore may not impact next year's results.
Furthermore, trend comparisons may be misleading if such
an item is not highlighted and adjustments made. The item
should not be considered extraordinary because it is usual
in nature.
2. The extraordinary item of $9,000,000 should be reported
net of tax in a separate section for extraordinary items. An
adjustment should be made to income taxes to report this
amount at $22,400,000. The $3,000,000 tax effect of this
extraordinary item should be reported with the
extraordinary item. The reason for the separate disclosure
is much the same as that given above for the separate
disclosure of the usual, but infrequently occurring item.
Readers must be informed that certain revenue and
expense items may be unusual and infrequent such that
their likelihood for affecting operations again in the future
is unlikely. Separate earnings per share information must
also be presented for the extraordinary item.
3. The adjustment required for correction of an error is
inappropriately labelled and also should not be reported in
the retained earnings statement. Changes in estimate
should be handled in current and prospective periods
through the income statement. Catch-up adjustments are
not permitted. To restate financial statements every time a
change in estimate occurred would be extremely costly
and confusing. In addition, adjusting the beginning balance
of retained earnings is inappropriate, as the increased
charge in this case would never be run through current or
future income statements.

4. Earnings per share should be reported on the face of the
income statement or in the notes to the financial
statements according to the CICA Handbook Sec 3500.61.
Because such importance is ascribed to this ratio, the
profession believes it necessary to highlight the earnings
per share figure. In this case it should report both income
before extraordinary item, extraordinary item and net
income on a per share basis.

(c) The income tax is allocated in the same manner as the
underlying irregular item or adjustment to opening retained
earnings. Since income taxes are a major expense for
companies, it is important to reflect the individual impact
of taxes for discontinued operations, extraordinary items,
corrections of errors and changes in accounting policies.
This helps users assess the quality of earnings and their
related tax impact. Earnings per share information is also
highlighted separately, net of taxes, for discontinued
operations and extraordinary items. Intra period tax
allocation also helps readers in trend analysis of income
tax expense, and income from continuing operations by
making the current year amount on a comparable basis
with prior years.

(a) The Rocketeer Division’s assets should be identified
separately on Campbell Corporation’s balance sheet as of
May 31, 2008 and carried at their net realizable value of $87
million, i.e., the amount of cash sale. This identification can
be made in the body of the statement by showing the
assets of the Rocketeer Division as a separate listing or by
disclosure in a note to the financial statement.
(b) The operating loss must be reported as a separate
component after income from continuing operations and
before extraordinary items. The operating loss up to year
end is presented as a loss from discontinued operations.
The operating loss from a discontinued segment is
presented net of tax. Separate earnings per share figures
would also be required. The division assets would be
measured at the lower of net book value and fair market
value less costs to sell. The loss would be presented as a
separate component of discontinued operations, on an
after-tax basis.

· Changes to the plan are possible or likely; and
· The assets are not available for immediate sale in their
current state;

Management would usually prefer using the discontinued
operations treatment. This separates the financial results of the
division from continuing operations and allows users to
concentrate on continuing financial results and to assess
management performance on the more profitable parts of the
business. This also allows users to see the unprofitable impact
of the Rocketeer Division on prior years’ results since the
treatment is applied retroactively. For a user, showing
discontinued operations at the bottom of the income statement
after income tax expense and with its own earnings per share

(a) The main deficiency in the Baring statement is that
important information is being aggregated, particularly in
the “Costs and Expenses” line item. More detail likely
could be found in Baring’s published financial statements.
However, the condensed income statement may be the one
that investors and creditors rely upon. Also, the statement
is missing the earnings per share information.
(b) Baring could provide additional details on the expenses
included in Costs and Expenses on the face of the income
statement. Alternatively, the company could provide the
information in the notes to the financial statements, which
could be referenced on the face of the income statement.
Mandatory disclosure is required somewhere in the
financial statements for the items such as amortization and
interest expense. The company should also provide the
earnings per share information.
(c) Companies may provide minimal disclosure in order to not
reveal competitive or sensitive financial information.
Management may also not be aware of the type of detailed
information users would find useful since financial
information is prepared by management based on their
assessment of users’ needs. Company management may
also mistakenly view GAAP requirements as the required
disclosure rather than the minimum amount required.
Management may also use minimal disclosure to avoid
questions on its management practices and assessment or
its stewardship abilities or to hide financial engineering
transactions that could prove embarassing.

nature and infrequent in occurrence does not depend
primarily on decisions or determinations by management or
owners.
2. Classify as a loss, but not extraordinary. Such losses would
not be considered unusual for a business enterprise.
3. Classify as an extraordinary loss because the three
conditions of an extraordinary item are met: unusual in
nature and infrequent in occurrence, and event did not
depend primarily on decisions or determinations by
management or owners.
4. Classify as gain or loss, but not extraordinary. Because the
company maintains a portfolio of such securities, the gain or
loss would not be considered unusual in nature. The sale
was also the result of a management decision.
5. Classify as an unusual gain or loss but not extraordinary
because the third condition has not been met for
extraordinary item treatment, since management decided to
enter into the sale of the shares.
6. Classify as a gain or loss, but not extraordinary. Company
practices indicate such sales are not unusual or infrequent
in occurrence.
7. Classify as an expense with appropriate disclosure.

PROBLEM 4-14
(a) Earnings management is often defined as the planned timing
of revenues, expenses, gains and losses to smooth out
bumps in earnings. In most cases, earnings management is
used to increase income in the current year at the expense of
income in future years. For example, companies prematurely
recognize revenue before it is earned in order to boost
income. Earnings management can also be used to decrease
current earnings in order to increase income in the future.
This is done through the creation of reserves by using
unrealistic assumptions to estimate liabilities for such items
as sales returns, loan losses, and warranty returns.

Assuming the same income before warranty expense for both
2008 and 2009 and total warranty expense over the 2-year period
of $10,000, this proposed accounting results in steadily
increasing income over the two-year period.

The appropriate accounting would be to record $5,000 in 2008,
resulting in income of $38,000. However, with the same amount
of warranty expense in 2009, Grace no longer shows an
increasing trend in income. Thus, by taking more expense in
2008, Grace can maintain its growth trend in income.

(a) The controller is using the current operating concept of
income because non-operating items are charged directly to
retained earnings. These non-operating items are: gain from
casualty (net of tax) and loss from expropriation (net of tax).
The gain on the sale of plant assets should be shown as a
separate component of income from continuing operations.
The correction of an error should be shown as an adjustment
to the beginning balance of retained earnings.
(b) The answer to this question is dependent upon the reasons
the student gives in support of his/her position. The current
operating performance concept implies that (1) extraordinary
gains and losses are not considered as either representative
or reflective of earning power, and that (2) many users are
not trained to differentiate between ordinary and
extraordinary items. Therefore, extraordinary items are
charged directly to retained earnings to avoid confusion. The
all-inclusive concept implies that extraordinary items should
be included along with regular operating income to reflect
the long-range income-producing ability of the enterprise.
Advocates of this approach state that any gain or loss
experienced by the firm, whether directly or indirectly related
to operations, contributes to long-run profitability and
should be included in the calculation of net income. Also, it
is contended that if judgement is permitted in the
classification of extraordinary items, differences develop in
the treatment of questionable items, which permit the
manipulation of net income.
(c) The modified all-inclusive concept must be employed. The
income statement and statement of retained earnings are as

PROBLEM 4-16
The Income Statement of Klein Corporation contains the
following weaknesses in classification and disclosure:
1. Sales taxes: sales taxes have been erroneously added to
gross sales on the Income Statement of Klein Corporation.
Failure to deduct these taxes directly from customer billings
results in a deceptive inflation of the amount of sales. These
taxes should be deducted from gross sales because the
Corporation acts as an agent in collecting and remitting such
taxes to the government.
2. Purchase discounts: purchase discounts should not be
treated as revenue by being lumped with other revenue such
as dividends and interest. A purchase discount is more
logically a reduction of the cost of purchases because
revenue is not created by purchasing goods and paying for
them. In a cash transaction, cost is measured by the amount
of the cash consideration. In a credit transaction, however,
cost is measured by the amount of cash required to settle
immediately the obligation incurred. The discount should
reduce the cost of goods sold to the amount of cash that
would be required to settle the obligation immediately.
3. Recoveries of amounts written off in prior years: these
collections should be credited to the allowance for doubtful
accounts unless the direct write-off method was used in
accounting for bad debt expense, in which case the recovery
would offset the current year’s bad debt expenses.
Generally, the direct write-off method is not allowed, as it
does not adhere to the matching principle.

4. Freight-in and freight-out: although freight-out is an expense
of selling and is therefore reported properly in the statement,
freight-in is a cost related to the acquisition of merchandise
for resale should have been included in the calculation of
cost of goods sold. The value assigned to inventory should
represent the value of the economic resources given up in
obtaining goods and readying them for sale.
5. Addition to reserve for possible inventory losses: additions
to inventory reserves should not be treated as operating
expenses. An appropriation is not an operating expense
because it is only an anticipated loss from a future event,
which is neither more nor less probable because of a past
event. It does not represent a reduction in future benefits. It
is a notification to shareholders that $3,800 of earnings
retained for use in the business is designated for a stated
purpose and is not available for dividends.
6. Loss on discontinued styles: this type of loss, though often
substantial, should not be treated as an extraordinary item
because it is apparently typical of the customary business
activity of the corporation. It should be reported in "Costs
and Expenses" as an operating expense.
7. Loss on sale of trading securities: this item should be
reported as a separate component of income from
operations and not as an extraordinary item. The conditions
are not unusual in nature and management had influence
over the outcome of this transaction.
8. Loss on sale of warehouse: this loss cannot be classified as
an extraordinary item unless such a loss is the direct result
of a major casualty, an expropriation, or a prohibition under
a newly enacted law or regulation. This item should be
separately disclosed as an unusual item, if either unusual in
nature or infrequent in occurrence.
