The change in the net worth of a business enterprise during an accounting period.

Question 6

Single-Step Format

Answer 6

The single-step format involves a presentation of income from continuing operations that is largely based on a single comparison. Total revenues and gains are compared with total expenses and losses in the single-step format.

Question 7

Multiple Step Format

Answer 7

involves a presentation of income from continuing operations that includes multiple comparisons of revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. In doing so, the reader is provided with the operating margin of the company, which is the excess of operating revenues over operating expenses. In other words, these revenues and expenses are directly tied to the company’s primary business operations. Beyond the operating margin, the incidental or peripheral gains and losses are shown in the presentation of income from continuing operations.

The purpose of requiring the reporting of comprehensive income is to report the net change in equity (other than from transactions with owners) in a single amount and to provide a more complete picture of the total earnings of the firm for a period. This reporting contributes to the objective of reporting an “all inclusive” income amount.

DOES NOT INCLUDE:
Retrospective effects of changes in accounting principle;
Prior period adjustments.

Question 16

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI)

Answer 16

the amount carried over from the previous period, and then either increased or decreased during the current period. This total is the running total of other comprehensive income items through the balance sheet date. Irrespective of the reporting option chosen for comprehensive income, U.S. GAAP requires that the total of other comprehensive income be separately displayed in the owners’-equity section of the balance sheet in an account with a title such as AOCI. AOCI is an owners’-equity (OE) account.

Question 17

Reclassification Adjustments of OCI Accounts

Answer 17

A firm recognizes a $5,000 unrealized gain on an AFS investment in year 1 OCI. In year 2, the AFS investment is sold for a $5,000 gain (recognized in net income causing retained earnings to increase by $5,000). At the end of year 2, the $5,000 unrealized gain from year 1 in AOCI is removed by reducing AOCI by $5,000 (the reclassification adjustment). The gain in OCI is “reclassified” as a gain recognized in net income. Without the reclassification adjustment, total OE would count the $5,000 twice. Reclassification adjustments are reported in the footnotes.

Question 18

Basis I/S Notes

Answer 18

Net Income is closed out to Retained Earnings

OCI is closed out to AOCI each year (which is an OE account)

Retained earnings and AOCI are equity accounts
