Ethical Issue: Moss Exports is having a bad year. Net Income is only $60,000. Also, two important overseas customers are falling behind in their payments to Moss, and Moss's Accounts Receivable are ballooning (these two customers owe Moss $80,000 combined). The company desperately needs a loan. The Moss Exports Board of Directors is considering ways to put the best face on the company's financial statements. Moss's bank closely examines cash flow from operating activities. Daniel Peavey, Moss's Controller, suggests reclassifying the receivables from the two overseas customers as long-term assets. He explains to the Board that removing the $80,000 increase in Accounts Receivable from current assets will increase the net cash provided by operations.This approach may help get Moss the loan.
1. Using only the amounts given, compute net cash provided by operations, both without and with the reclassification of the receivables.
Which reporting makes Moss look better?

The management of ABC Company felt proud of their accomplishments concerning cash flow for the end of the year because overall cash increased by $1,500,000. In the operating section, the company showed an increase in cash of $250,000 because of net income. However, because of increases in accounts receivable and inventory, the overall cash outflow from operating activities was $100,000.
In the investing section, purchases of long-term assets outweighed the sale of long-term assets which resulted in a cash outflow from investing activities of $500,000.
The company has a line-of-credit with the bank. During the year, the company drew on the line which resulted in cash inflow from financing activities of $2,100,000. The cash inflow from financing activities of $2,100,000 less the cash outflow from operating activities of $100,000 and less the cash out flow from investing activities resulted in the overall cash increase of $1,500,000.
Analyze the cash flows of ABC Company. What conclusions…

- Profitability Declines and the Statement of Cash Flows The Bookbarn Inc. is a retail seller of new books in a moderate-sized city. Although initially very successful, The Bookbarns sales volume has declined since the opening of two competing bookstores 2 years ago. The accountant for The Bookbarn prepared the following statement of cash flows at the end of the current year: Your analysis suggests that The Bookbarns net income will continue to decline by $8,000 per year to $18,500 as sales continue to fall.

Unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. So, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. The firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. It earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $700,000 in dividends to common shareholders. Throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.4 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. You have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $460,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. Finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1…arrow_forwardLucas Hunter, president of Simmons Industries Inc., believes that reporting operating cash flow per share on the income statement would be a useful addition to the companys just completed financial statements. The following discussion took place between Lucas Hunter and Simmons controller, John Jameson, in January, after the close of the fiscal year: Lucas: Ive been reviewing our financial statements for the last year. I am disappointed that our net income per share has dropped by 10% from last year. This wont look good to our shareholders. Is there anything we can do about this? John: What do you mean? The past is the past, and the numbers are in. There isnt much that can be done about it. Our financial statements were prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles, and I dont see much leeway for significant change at this point. Lucas: No, no. Im not suggesting that we cook the books. But look at the cash flow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. The cash flow from operating activities has increased by 20%. This is very good newsand, I might add, useful information. The higher cash flow from operating activities will give our creditors comfort. John: Well, the cash flow from operating activities is on the statement of cash flows, so I guess users will be able to see the improved cash flow figures there. Lucas: This is true, but somehow I think this information should be given a much higher profile. I dont like this information being buried in the statement of cash flows. You know as well as I do that many users will focus on the income statement. Therefore, I think we ought to include an operating cash flow per share number on the face of the income statementsomeplace under the earnings per share number. In this way, users will get the complete picture of our operating performance. Yes, our earnings per share dropped this year, but our cash flow from operating activities improved! And all the information is in one place where users can see and compare the figures. What do you think? John: Ive never really thought about it like that before. I guess we could put the operating cash flow per share on the income statement, underneath the earnings per share amount. Users would really benefit from this disclosure. Thanks for the ideaIll start working on it. Lucas: Glad to be of service. How would you interpret this situation? Is John behaving in an ethical and professional manner?arrow_forward
