The net income on the income statement is used on the equity section for the balance sheet. When the net income increases of decreases because of revenue or expenses this carries over to the balance sheet under the equity section and reflects those fluctuations. This helps to give a better

The standard statements focus on accounting income for the entire corporation, not cash flows, and the two can be quite different during any given accounting period. However, for valuation purposes we need to discount cash flows, not accounting income. Moreover, since many firms have a number of separate divisions, and since division managers should be compensated on their divisions' performance, not that of the entire firm, information that focuses on the divisions is needed. These factors have led to the development of information that

Pfizer is the largest American pharmaceutical company and one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. It competes with Merck and Glaxo, and markets such well-known medications as Celebrex and Viagra. However, the pharmaceutical industry as a whole has undergone changes in recent years with significant consolidation taking place and with increased scrutiny regarding the ways in which drugs are developed, tested and marketed. In addition, recent controversies have erupted regarding Merck's drug Vioxx, and Pfizer has been the target of unwanted publicity regarding its painkiller Celebrex. This research considers the strategic position of Pfizer, including its strengths and weaknesses as well

Refer to the Dow Chemical financial statements for 2008 in answering the following: 1. Who are Dow’s external auditors? Describe the two opinion letters that Dow received for 2008. In your own words, explain what these opinions mean. Why are the opinions dated several weeks after Dow’s year end? 2. Use a spreadsheet to construct common-size income

In 2016, the company has 8,970,824 US Dollars in Long Term Assets (Current Assets: 7,036,578), 146,947,000 US Dollars in profits, and 6,959,225 US Dollars in Total Liabilities (Current Liabilities: 2,689,770). The problem with Labilities is that it is debt that has to be paid off over a certain period of time and in this case for current liabilities, it is a year. Labilities are expected to be paid off with cash but that’s a problem for Cabela’s. Cabela’s has a cash flow of -51,241,000 US Dollars and a long term debt value of 3,158,085 US Dollars which means cash is limited for Cabela’s. The current Ratio is at 2.616 which means the company is not managing its assets a properly and in turn could be having financial issues. [2] What is also not a good sign is the debt to equity ratio is 3.460 and this value is a sign that the Cabela’s has a high debt level and is having financial troubles. [3] Then the Return on Sales Ratio is .04 or 4% which terrible because this percent should be over 10%. Another sign that a company is having trouble is that the Acid Test Ratio is 2.30 because the ratio value should never be over 1. These troubling financial records shows that Cabela’s is having troubles but the real certain are in the direction of the

However, the subsidiary income statements allow greater detail into the business components that make up Pinnacle. A possible overstatement in one account for one of the

By using the consolidated income statements, balance sheet and cash flow statement, we can assess the company’s financial position. On the income statement, the company’s operation revenue increased by 4.5% ($393.4 million) from year 2006 while its operating income decreased by $65.1 million in the same period. Without considering the net-cash settlement feature expense recorded in 2007, operating income increased $103.6 million. Even though including the net-cash settlement feature

The company’s debt ratios are 54.5% in 1988, 58.69% in 1989, 62.7% in 1990, and 67.37% in 1991. What this means is that the company is increasing its financial risk by taking on more leverage. The company has been taking an extensive amount of purchasing over the past couple of years, which could be the reason as to why net income has not grown much beyond several thousands of dollars. One could argue that the company is trying to expand its inventory to help accumulate future sales. But another problem is that the company’s

2. The single most important assessment in Cash Flows in the “cash flow from financial operations” because it provides an overlook on management’s operating decisions. In this case, we can see that Reebok had reported positive cash flows from operations, for example in 1990 reported $39.2M while LA Gear reported a negative (40M) the same year. Looking closely, we can see that LA Gear was retaining huge quantities of inventory while at the same time, not collecting enough money from customers (A/R). Hence we can conclude that for Reebok, operations was a source of cash but on the other hand, LA Gear was quite the opposite: operations was a use (or drain) of cash. Turning our attention to “cash flows from financing activities” we can see that more differences. Reebok is borrowing little money, instead it is paying loans. LA Gear is borrowing huge quantities of money, for example in 1990 it borrowed $56M. As a result of this, we can see where the money to finance

From your analysis of research materials, examine the company and provide a report on the short and long range financial problems that are evident from the review. If you find no short or long range financial problems, provide the evidence to justify this conclusion.

Net income is total revenues minus total expenses incurred to generate those revenues all within the same reporting period. Net income is calculated by the accrual accounting methodology meaning that the expenses incurred to generate revenues are reported at the same time the related revenues are reported. Both revenue recognition and expenses paid may not coincide with actual cash transactions. Net cash from operating activities, on the other hand, is not determined by accrual but by

1 In Ravi Suria’s analysis, “we believe that the current cash balances will last the company through the first quarter of 2001.” According to Exhibit 12c the cash flow statement, in contrast, the cash balance could last for the first quarter of 2001, when it suffered from 407 losses in operating activities, though positive in investing and
