 Learning Objective 1
Identify the uses and limitations of an
income statement.

LO 1 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 4

Income Statement
Usefulness
• Evaluate past performance.

• Predicting future performance.

• Help assess the risk or uncertainty of

achieving future cash flows.
LO 1 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 5
Income Statement
Limitations
• Companies omit items that
cannot be measured reliably.

• Income numbers are affected

by the accounting methods
employed.

• Income measurement
involves judgment.

LO 1 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 6

Income Statement
Quality of Earnings
Companies have incentives to manage income
• to meet earnings targets or
• to make earnings look less risky.
Earnings management is the planned timing of revenues,
expenses, gains, and losses to smooth out earnings.
Quality of earnings is reduced if earnings management
results in information that is less useful for predicting future
earnings and cash flows.

items.

LO 3 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 16

Reporting Various Income Items
Gross Profit

• Computed by deducting cost of goods sold from net sales.

• Provides a useful number for evaluating performance and
predicting future earnings.
Unusual or incidental revenues are disclosed in other income
and expense.

Reporting Various Income Items
Income from Operations

• Determined by deducting selling and administrative

expenses as well as other income and expense from gross

• Used to predict the amount, timing, and uncertainty of
future cash flows.

LO 3 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 18

Income From Operations

consulting services. It has the following revenues and
expenses.

LO 3 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 19

Expense Classification
Nature-of-Expense Approach

ILLUSTRATION 4.5
The nature-of-expense approach is simple to apply because
allocations to expense of different functions are not necessary.
LO 3 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 20
Expense Classification
Function-of-Expense Approach

ILLUSTRATION 4.6
The function-of-expense method is generally used in practice
although many companies believe both approaches have merit.

Gains and Losses

ILLUSTRATION 4.7
ILLUSTRATION 4.7 identifies the most common types and number of gains and losses reported in a
survey of 500 large companies. Notice that more than 40 percent of the surveyed firms reported
restructuring charges, which often contain write-offs and other one-time items.

LO 3 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 22

IASB’S Position on Gains and Losses

IASB takes the position that both

• revenues and expenses and
• other income and expense
should be reported as part of income from operations.
Companies can provide additional line items, headings, and
subtotals when such presentation is relevant to an
understanding of the entity’s financial performance.

LO 3 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 23

Gains and Losses
Additional Items That May Need Disclosure

• Losses on write-downs of inventories to net realizable value or

of property, plant, and equipment to recoverable amount, as
well as reversals of such write-downs.
• Losses on restructurings of the activities and reversals of any
provisions for the costs of restructuring.
• Gains or losses on the disposal of items of property, plant, and,
equipment or investments.

declares and pays preferred dividends of $50,000 for the year. The
weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during
the year is 100,000 shares. Lancer computes earnings per share as
follows:
Net Income  Preferred Dividends
Weighted Average of Ordinary Shares Outstanding

$350,000  $50,000
= $3.00 per share
100,000

Reporting Various Income Items
Discontinued Operations

A component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or

is classified as held-for-sale, and:
1. Represents a major line of business or geographical
area of operations, or
2. Is part of a single, co-coordinated plan to dispose of a
major line of business or geographical area of
operations, or
3. Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to
resell.

LO 3 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 29

Discontinued operation or not?

• In 2018, Mexico’s Coca-Cola FEMSA – the world’s biggest franchise bottler of

Coca-Cola trademark drinks – sold its 51% controlling shareholding in Coca-
Cola FEMSA Philippines for $715 million.

Yes. This disposal meant that the entity sold a component representing a
geographical area of operations.

• In 2022, Germany’s adidas – one of the world’s leading sports companies –

sold its entire shareholding in Reebok for €2.1 billion and generated a profit
€348 million.

Yes. This disposal meant that the entity sold a component representing a
separate major line of business

. In February 2023 Tesla announced its moving headquarters back to California.

No this is just a change in location

Components of Discontinued
Operations
Companies report as discontinued operations
1. (in a separate income statement category) the gain or
loss from disposal of a component of a business.
2. The results of operations of a component that has
been or will be disposed of separately from continuing
operations.
3. The effects of discontinued operations net of tax as a
separate category, after continuing operations.

 Learning Objective 4
Explain the reporting of accounting changes
and errors.

LO 4 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 46

Accounting Changes and Errors
Changes in Accounting Principle

• Retrospective adjustment.
• Cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained
earnings.
• Approach preserves comparability across years.
• Examples include:
o Change from FIFO to average-cost.
o Change from the percentage-of-completion to the
completed-contract method.

LO 4 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 47

Changes in Accounting Principle
Change in Accounting Principle: Gaubert Inc. decided in March
2022 to change from FIFO to weighted-average inventory pricing.
Gaubert’s income before taxes, using the new weighted-average
method in 2022, is $30,000.

ILLUSTRATION 4.17

ILLUSTRATION 4.18

LO 4 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 48

Accounting Changes

Change in Accounting Estimates

• Accounted for in the period of change or the period of and
the future periods if the change affects both.
• Not handled retrospectively.
• Not considered errors.
• Examples include:
o Useful lives and residual values of depreciable assets.
o Uncollectible receivables.
o Inventory obsolescence.

LO 4 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 49

Change in Accounting Estimates

DuPage Materials AG consistently estimated its bad debt

expense at 1% of accounts receivable. In 2022, however,
DuPage determines that it must revise upward the estimate of
bad debts for the current year’s credit sales to 2 percent. The
2 percent rate is necessary to reduce accounts receivable to
net realizable value. Using 2 percent results in a bad debt
charge of CHF240,000, or double the amount using the 1
percent estimate for prior years.
Questions:
• Does prior years’ bad debt estimates need to be restated?
• Calculate the bad debt expense for 2022.
LO 4 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 50
Changes in Accounting Estimates

DuPage records the bad debt expense and related allowance at

December 31, 2022 as follows.

Bad Debt Expense 240,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 240,000

DuPage includes the entire change in estimate in 2022 income

because the effect of the change does not affect future periods.
Companies do not handle changes in estimate retrospectively.
Changes in estimates are not considered errors.

LO 4 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 51

Accounting Errors

Corrections of Errors
• Result from:
o mathematical mistakes.
o mistakes in application of accounting principles.
o oversight or misuse of facts.
• Corrections treated as prior period adjustments.
• Adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings.

LO 4 Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 52

Corrections of Errors

Illustration: In 2022, Tsang Ltd. determined that it incorrectly

overstated its accounts receivable and sales revenue by
NT$100,000 in 2021. In 2022, Tsang makes the following entry to
correct for this error (ignore income taxes).

Retained Earnings 100,000
