Q

How to get to Net Income from A, L, and E

A

Assets (less) Liabilities = Total Equity (incl. C/s, apic, and RE component)

Thus to find net income for the year you can use elements of Equity, to figure out based on retained earnings. Formula:

Beg. RE – $0
Plus NET Inc. —(Squeeze: 9)
LESS Divs Paid (13)

End RE: 13

It’s like BASE Formula except RE, plus NI, less divs.

Q

What are “Appropriated Retained earnings”?

A

Appropriated retained earnings are retained earnings that have been set aside by action of the board of directors for a specific use.

Once the “purpose” of the appropriation has been achieved, it should be restored back to unappropriated retained earnings.

Q

Cost Method of Accounting for Treasury Stock

A

Cost method includes accounting for treasury stock transactions with separate “Treasury stock” entries.

EG: Acquiring own stock in treasury shares is done at COST value,

Selling own T_stock uses that “cost value” to write off T-stock and the rest goes to APIC, pos or neg.

ERGO:
Common Stock calculations will not be affected by the treasury transactions on the books.

19
Q

Difference between “stocks issued” and “stocks outstanding?”

A

In a word - the dif. is treasury stock.

Treasury Stock. Sometimes a company wants to buy back some of its stock shares. When the shares are reacquired, the stock is known as treasury stock. Treasury stock is the difference between the number of shares outstanding and the number of issued shares.

20
Q

When a company acquires a common stock dividend, where does it go?

A

Debited to retained earnings.

EG:

C/S dividend of 30% on $1000 worth of common stock… DR $300 to retained earnings.

21
Q

Intrinsic Value of a Call Option Formula?

A

share options x (Mkt Price - Exercise Price)

100 X ($10 - $9)

22
Q

How to arrive at EPS denominator?

A

Use Weighted Avg. method

(EG midway through the year is about half of the amount)

  • Preferred stock only gets involved if “Convertible”
23
Q

Common Stock: Simple Capital Structure weighted EPS method

A

basic EPS =
income available to shareholders / weighted avg. number of Common shares outstanding (WACSO)

Example Calculation:
Net Income (less any preferred stock requirements in total) / avg. COMMON shares outstanding (so don't include pref. shares outstanding)
24
Q

“Contingent Share”

A

Shares of company stock that are issued only if certain conditions are met. Contingent shares are similar to stock options, warrants and other convertible instruments in that there is a level of uncertainty associated with their issue. For example, for contingent shares to be issued, the corporation must generate earnings that exceed a certain threshold. Contingent shares are also important for common stock holders since the contingent shares can dilute the ownership of existing shareholders.

NOT INCL: shares issuable upon exercise of stock option

25
Q

Anti-dilutive rules?

A

You can dilute based on possible conversions. but do not BOOST UP due to possible conversions.

Also, if you calculate a security using diluted rules and the EPS is higher than basic, then it is considered “Anti-dilutive”.

26
Q

Retroactive stock splits and retroactive recognitions of stock dividends for the purposes of EPS?

A

YEP!

27
Q

For dilutive EPS, do you subtract preferred convertible shares?

A

NO.

For this purpose, you treat them, in the denominator, as though they have been converted to common shares.

28
Q

how to define dilutive security?

A

technically a # that calculates below basic eps.

29
Q

stock splits for EPS?

A

Treat as though all stock splits happened in BEGINNING OF YEAR, calculation-wise for WACOS.

30
Q

Common stock equivalents added to company’s WACOS used for basic EPS was computed using treasury stock method.

A

Dilutive Effect of Options:

Number shares - (# sh * exercise price / avg. market price)

31
Q

For EPS, what do you treat as though it happened beginning of the year?

A

1) stock splits

2) stock dividends

32
Q

operating cash =
investing cash =
financing cash =

A

= transactions; current assets and liabilities
=noncurrent Assets
=debt (inicl. noncurrent liabilities) and Equity

33
Q

Methods of presenting cash flows: Direct and indirect method

A

direct method = major classes of OPERATING cash receipts and disbusments.. noncash items such as depreciation, amortization, and depletion now appear in this method. GAAP requries a net income to net cash recon. (IFRS does not)

Indirect method (Reconciliation) = adj. net income to reconcile to net cash flows from op. activities as follows:

CFO = NI + Noncash Exp/Loss - Noncash Inc/Gain + Inc/(decr.) in Op. Liabs/(Assets) - Inc/(decr) in Op. Assets/(Liabs.)

34
Q

example cash flow of operating actiivities

A 
Net Inc - 150,000
Increase A/R - (6,000)
Incre. AFDA - 200
Decr. Prepaid - 4,200
Incr. A/P - 3000
=
151,400

(also interest payments on notes payable, cash paid to employees, cash received from customers)
(gain on sale of Plant Asset)

35
Q

example of cash flows from investing activities

A

sale of equ. - 18,000
purchase of equ. - (20,000)
cash used in investing =

2000

(also gain on investments)
incls. inflows from securities A4S as WELL AS H2m

36
Q

Net cash used in Financing operations

A 
payment to retire bonds (375k)
Payment of divs (31K)
proceeds from Treasury Stock (50K)
=
356,000
37
Q

Will dividends paid reduce Net Income in stmnts of cash flows?

A

NOPE.

They are too busy reducing RE ;)

38
Q

Supplemental disclosure under the indirect method?

A

Income Taxes Paid + Net Interest Payments

39
Q

Debt: Equity ratio?

A

Total Liabs / Equity

40
Q

AR Turnover (in days)

A

=avg. net receivable (avg. of 2 years) / COGS/365

41
Q

Regular AR turnover

hint - opp. to AR in days with num/denom

A

=Net Credit Sales / Avg. Ne Receivables

Where net receivables means remove COGS

42
Q

Inventory Turnover

A

= COGS / Inventory Average

where COGS = beg inventory + Purchases = goods avail for sale … less the Ending Inventory

43
Q

Total Asset Turnover

A

= Net Sales / Avg. Total Assets

avg. total assets = net sales / total asset turnover..

where Net Sales = avg. receivables x receivable turnover

44
Q

A

Pref stock + Common Stock + APIC + RE = Total SE

(Less) PR Stock interest
