Assignment Question(s):   

1. Classify the following changes in each of the accounts as either an outflow or an inflow of cash.

1. Is a decrease in land and buildings an inflow or an outflow of​ cash?
2. Is an increase in accounts payable an inflow or an outflow of​ cash?
3. Is a decrease in vehicles an inflow or an outflow of​ cash?
4. Is an increase in accounts receivable an inflow or an outflow of​ cash?
5. Is the payment of dividends an inflow or an outflow of​ cash? 

2. Robert Arias recently inherited a stock portfolio from his uncle. Wishing to learn more about the companies in which he is now​ invested, Robert performs a ratio analysis on each one and decides to compare them to each other. Some of his ratios are listed here:

Assuming that his uncle was a wise investor who assembled the portfolio with​ care, Robert finds the wide differences in these ratios confusing. Help him out.

1. 1. What problems might Robert encounter in comparing these companies to one another on the basis of their​ ratios? (Select all the answers that​ apply.)
2. The four companies are in very different industries.
3. The operating characteristics of firms across different industries vary significantly resulting in very different ratio values.
4. Financial ratios from software companies are never very reliable.
5. Caution must be exercised when comparing older to newer​ firms, e.g., utility company vs. software company.

2. Why might the current and quick ratios for the electric utility and the​ fast-food stock be so much lower than the same ratios for the other​ companies? (Select all the answers that​ apply.)

1. Their inventory balances are going to be very close to zero because it is impossible to stockpile electricity and burgers.
2. The explanation for the lower current and quick ratios most likely relates to poor management performance.
3. Their accounts receivable balances are going to be much lower than for the other two companies.
4. The explanation for the lower current and quick ratios most likely rests on the fact that these two industries operate primarily on a cash basis.

3. Why might it be all right for the electric utility to carry a large amount of​ debt, but not the software​ company? (Select all the answers that​ apply.)

1. A high level of debt can be maintained if the firm has a​ large, predictable, and steady cash flow.
2. The software firm will have very uncertain and changing cash flow.
3. Utilities tend to have steady cash flow requirements.
4. The software industry is subject to greater competition resulting in more volatile cash flow.

4. Why​ wouldn't investors invest all of their money in software companies instead of in less profitable​ companies? (Focus on risk and​ return.) (Select all the answers that​ apply.)

1. Software companies tend to carry large debt which represents senior claims on the​ companies' assets.
2. Investors​ wouldn't invest all of their money in software companies because their average collection period is usually very high.
3. By placing all of the money in one​ stock, the benefits of reduced risk associated with diversification are lost.
4. Although the software industry has potentially high profits and investment return​ performance, it also has a large amount of uncertainty associated with the profits.

3. You have $5,100 to invest today at 11​% interest compounded annually. Find how much you will have accumulated in the account at the end of​:

(1) 4 years,

(2) 8 years, and​

(3) 12 years.

1. Calculate the future value of the​ annuity, assuming that it is
   1. ​An ordinary annuity. (0.5 marks)
   2. ​An annuity due. (0.5 marks)

2. Compare your findings in parts a​(1) and a​(2). All else being​ identical, which type of annuity—ordinary or annuity due—is preferable as an​ investment? Explain why. (0.5 Marks)

Explanation of Management Implications of IFRS

Changes in the GAAP that an organization uses for its financial reporting can impact how and when assets and liabilities are recorded. Sometimes they can cause dramatic shifts in the amount of profit or loss an organization reports. These changes can impact how the financial health of an organization is interpreted.
For example, US GAAP requires that land assets be reported based on the cost to acquire them because there is no objective evidence of their current value. IFRS allows for revaluation of some nonfinancial assets to fair value. Imagine if a piece of land that was purchased for $1 million and recorded, for the last 100 years, on your balance sheet at $1 million was suddenly revalued on the balance sheet at $300 million. Key numbers on the balance sheet, such as total assets, could change dramatically overnight. Also, consider the reverse example. A building on an organization’s balance sheet is revalued from $300 million to $100 million. Revaluation of assets for fair value does not necessarily involve increasing asset values.
Such changes in the numbers could have many impacts. These changes would impact how outsiders view the organization. Numbers that analysts use as benchmarks for strong or weak financial performance would have to be reassessed. Contracts could be affected since contracts often call for certain financial statement relationships to be maintained. For example, when a bond is issued, often the borrower would be required to maintain a minimum amount of assets relative to their liabilities. But changing accounting reporting requirements could cause significant enough changes in reported assets and liabilities to change those relationships. In some cases, this could create default situations. Such contracts would likely need to be renegotiated before the adoption of the new standards. Compensation could also be affected. Many organizations provide some compensation based on the organization’s profits. If the implementation of IFRS reporting rules results in different levels of profit being reported, it will impact compensation. All profit-sharing plans would need to be revisited and possibly revised. This provides just a small sampling of some of the extensive differences between the current US GAAP and IFRS and the implications of a potential shift from US GAAP to IFRS. It is suggested that readers Google “US Adoption of IFRS” to find the latest status of this potential transition.
