The Balance Sheet (1 of 2)
• A balance sheet is a financial statement that shows a

firm’s financial position (assets, liabilities, and equity)
at a point in time
• The basic balance sheet identity can be stated as
Equation 3.1
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total stockholders’ equity
L.O. 3.2 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 15

The Balance Sheet (2 of 2)
• Total Assets
o The left side of a balance sheet shows assets a firm owns
and uses to generate revenue
o Assets are listed in order of liquidity
• Sources of Funds
o The right side of the balance sheet show the sources of the
funds used to acquire assets
o Liabilities are listed in the order in which they are due to be
paid
o Stockholders’ equity is listed last
• Common stockholders are entitled to assets remaining after all
other providers of funds are paid

Current Assets and Liabilities
• Current assets are those likely to be converted to cash
within a year (or one operating cycle)
o Marketable securities
o Accounts receivable
o Inventory
o Current liabilities are those scheduled to be paid within a
year (or one operating cycle)
o Accounts payable
o Accrued wages
o Debt with less than a year’s maturity
o Taxes
Net Working Capital
Equation 3.2
Net Working Capital = Total Current Assets − Total Current Liabilities

Net Working Capital Example
• Diaz Manufacturing
o Total current assets = $1,039.8 million
o Total current liabilities = $377.8 million
o Net working capital = Total current assets − Total
current liabilities
= $1,039.8 million − $377.8 million
= $662.0 million
o Diaz’s NWC is good; from a bank’s perspective, Diaz
should have enough current assets to pay off all current
liabilities.
Accounting for Inventory
• Inventory is the least liquid current asset

• Inventory is reported using one of two methods
o FIFO (first-in-first-out) assumes merchandise is sold in
the order it was acquired by the firm
o LIFO (last-in-first-out) assumes merchandise is sold in
the reverse of the order it was acquired by a firm

FIFO versus LIFO Methods
• When the cost of inventory is increasing FIFO reporting shows
the firm sold the less expensive inventory, which leads to
o Higher balance in inventory
o Lower cost-of-goods-sold
o Higher taxable income, income taxes, and net income
• When the cost of inventory is increasing LIFO reporting shows
the firm sold the more expensive inventory, which leads to
o Lower balance in inventory
o Higher cost-of-goods sold
o Lower taxable income, income taxes, and net income

Other Issues on Accounting for
Inventory
• A majority of corporations value inventory using LIFO
because it yield the lowest taxable income and
therefore lower taxes
• Firms may switch from one inventory accounting
method to the other under extraordinary circumstances
but not frequently

Long-Term Assets
• Real assets
o Land
o Buildings
o Equipment
o Intangible assets
o Goodwill
o Patents
o Copyrights

Long-Term Liabilities
Long-term Liabilities or long-term debt include

o Bank loans
o Mortgages
o Bonds with maturity longer than one year

The Common Stock Accounts
• Common Stock
o Ownership with control in a firm
• Basic rights of ownership
o The right to vote on corporate matters
o The preemptive right to purchase additional shares
proportionally when new shares are issued by the
company
o The right to receive cash dividends if they are paid
o The right to corporate assets if the firm is liquidated,
after all creditors and preferred stockholders
Other Forms of Equity
• Retained earnings
o Profit kept and used to acquire assets.
• Treasury stock
o Shares of its own stock a firm holds rather than sell them to
the public
• The firm doesn’t pay dividends on those shares
• More control over voting
• Can buy when firm believes stock is undervalued
•Preferred Stock
o Ownership without control in a firm
o Features make it an equity security that resembles debt
Market Value versus Book Value
• Asset Value is usually reported at historical cost or
book value as opposed to its true value or market value
• Accounting statements would be more valuable if they
measured current value. The process of recording
assets at their current market value is often called
marking to market
• On the downside, it can be difficult to identify the
market value of an asset, particularly if there are few
transactions involving comparable assets

A More Informative Balance Sheet
• Assets
o Assets are traditionally reported at historical cost on a balance sheet
o Balance sheet amount does not reflect current market value, only the
acquisition cost
o Liabilities
o Balance sheet shows the amount the company is required to pay which
is generally close to the actual market value for short-term liabilities
because of their relatively short maturities.
o For long-term debt, however, book value and market value can differ
substantially
o Stockholders’ Equity
o The difference between the market values of assets and liabilities
provides a better estimate of the value of shareholders’ equity than the
book values

A Market-Value Balance Sheet
• Marvel Airline’s fleet has a book value of $600 million
• As a result of COVID-19 the market value of Marvel’s
aircraft fleet is only $400 million
• Using these data, we can construct two balance sheets, one
based on historical book values and the other based on
market values

The Income Statement and the
Statement of Retained Earnings
• The income statement
o Summarizes the revenues, expenses, and profitability
(or losses) of the firm over some period of time, usually
a month, a quarter, or a year.
• The statement of retained earnings

o Affected by when the firm reports net income or loss,
and when the board of directors declares and pays a
cash dividend

The Income Statement
• Measures the profitability of a firm for a reporting

period
• Revenue is income from selling products and services
• Expenses include costs of providing products and
services, and asset utilization (depreciation and
amortization)
Equation 3.3
Net income = Revenues − Expenses

Net Income Example
Using Equation 3.3

• Diaz Manufacturing
o Revenues = $1,563.7 million
o Expenses = $1,445.2 million
o Net Income = Revenues − Expenses
= $1,563.7 million − $1,445.2 million
= $ 118.5 million

Depreciation Expense
• The cost of a physical asset such as plant or machinery

is written off over its lifetime. This is called
depreciation, which is a non-cash expense
• Firms use one of these depreciation methods
o Straight-line depreciation
o Accelerated depreciation
• Firms may choose one method for internal purposes
and another for tax purposes or for statements released
to the public
Amortization Expense
• Amortization expense is related to using intangible

assets
o Goodwill
o Patents
o Licenses
• Like depreciation, amortization is a non-cash expense

Extraordinary Items
• Income or expense associated with events that are

infrequent and abnormal
o Separated from the results of ordinary income
o Shown separately on the income statement

Step by Step to the Bottom Line
• Earnings-before-interest-taxes-depreciation-and-
amortization (EBITDA)
o Income from selling goods and services minus the cost of
providing them
•Earnings-before-interest-and-taxes (EBIT)
o EBITDA minus depreciation and amortization
•Earnings-before-taxes (EBT)
o EBIT minus interest expense
o Taxable income
•Net income (NI)
o EBT minus taxes
The Statement of Retained Earnings
The statement of retained earnings accompanies the balance sheet and shows the
beginning balance of retained earnings, the adjustments made to retained
earnings during the year, and the ending balance.

Balance of retained earnings, December 31, 2020 $67.8

The Statement of Cash Flows
• Net cash flow is equal to cash inflows minus cash
outflows
• The statement of cash flows shows the company’s cash
inflows and outflows for a period of time
o Working capital
o Fixed assets
o Long-term liabilities and equity
o Dividends

Sources and Uses of Cash
• The statement of cash flows shows the company’s
cash inflows (receipts) and cash outflows (payments
and investments) for a period of time.
• Changes in balance sheet accounts reflect cash flows
o Sources of cash
• Decreases in assets
• Increases in liabilities and equity
o Uses of cash
• Increases in assets
• Decreases in liabilities and equity
Organization of the Statement of Cash
Flows
• Operating Activities
o Cash inflows from selling goods and services
o Cash outflows from raw materials, inventory, salaries/wages, utilities,
rent
• Long-Term Investing Activities
o Cash inflows and outflows from
• Buying and selling long-term assets such as plant and equipment
• Buying and selling bonds and stocks issued by other firms
• Financing Activities
o Cash inflows from issuing debt and equity, borrowing money
o Cash outflows from paying interest or dividends, repaying loan
principal, and purchasing Treasury stock
• Cash Reconciliation

Tying Together the Financial
Statements
• The balance sheet summarizes what assets the firm has
and how the firm has financed those assets with debt
and equity
• The statement of cash flows is a summary of the

changes in a firm’s balance sheet from the beginning of
a period to the end of that period

The Interrelations among the Financial Statements: Illustrated
Using Diaz Manufacturing Financial Results ($ millions)
Exhibit 3.5 The statement of cash flows ties together the income statement with the balance sheets
from the beginning and the end of the period. The statement of retained earnings shows how the
retained earnings account has changed from the beginning to the end of the period.

PRACTICE
During 2020, Woolie company increased its investment in

marketable securities by $36,845, funded ﬁxed-assets
acquisitions of $109,455, and had marketable securities of
$14,215 mature.
• What is the net cash used in investing activities?

PRACTICE
• Revenues in 2017 totaled $896, depreciation expenses

$75, costs of goods sold $365, and interest expenses
$54. At the end of the year, current assets were $121 and
current liabilities were $107. The company has an
average tax rate of 34 percent.
• Calculate its net income by setting up an income
statement.

3.7 International Accounting Issues
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Understand that differences exist in the way financial statements
are reported between countries.
• Information, Timeliness, and Language

• Foreign Currency Issues
• Differences in Presentation and Accounting Standards
• Differences in the Business Environment

IFRS as a Global Standard
• The move to IFRS as a global standard has reduced

many difficulties of analyzing financial statements in
different countries, but differences and difficulties
remain. These mainly relate to what is being disclosed,
differences in presentation, reports presented in foreign
currencies, and differences in the business
environment.

IFRS as a Global Standard
• In particular, high rates of inflation in a particular

country require a different approach to the presentation
of financial statements to reflect the loss of purchasing
power over time.

3.8 Corporate Income Tax
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Discuss the difference between average and marginal tax rates
• Corporate Income Tax Rates

• Average versus Marginal Tax Rates
• Unequal Treatment of Dividends and Interest Payments

Corporate Income Tax Rates
• In 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act introduced major
changes to the federal tax code
• One of the most significant changes for corporations
(C-Corps) was the introduction of a single or “flat” tax
rate of 21 percent on taxable income
• In 2018 this new flat tax replaced the previous
progressive income tax rate, under which higher levels
of income were progressively taxed at higher rates

Average versus Marginal Tax Rates
• Average tax rate is total taxes paid, divided by taxable
income for the period
• Marginal tax rate is the rate paid on the last dollar
earned or the next dollar that will be earned

Unequal Treatment of Dividends &
Interest
• Dividends and interest are not equal
o The U.S. tax code allows interest payments on debt to
reduce firms’ taxable income
o The tax code does not allow dividend payments to
equity to reduce firms’ taxable income
o Therefore, debt financing has a lower cost relative to
equity financing
