2-‹#›

The “fast-casual” segment of the $2.7 trillion restaurant industry generates approximately $52 billion in sales annually. What identifies a restaurant as fast-casual? Typically, customers still order at the register as in a fast-food restaurant and the food is made to order and served in modern and upscale surroundings. Checks typically range between $8 and $16. Chipotle Mexican Grill has been a leader in this segment, although competition has increased and growth in this industry segment has slowed in recent years.

In this chapter, we will focus on Chipotle Mexican Grill. Unlike most restaurant chains, Chipotle does not franchise the business. All restaurants are company-owned. Before we can adequately prepare a balance sheet, we must know what activities caused changes in it. Additionally, we have to know how specific activities affect each balance. Finally, we need to know how the company keeps track of balance sheet amounts.

In particular, we focus on some typical asset acquisition activities (often called investing activities), along with related financing activities, such as borrowing funds from creditors or selling stock to investors to provide the cash necessary to acquire the assets. We examine those activities that affect only balance sheet amounts. Operating activities that affect both the income statement and the balance sheet are covered in Chapters 3 and 4.

Exhibit 2.1 (1 of 2)

Financial Accounting and Reporting Conceptual Framework

Objective of Financial Reporting to External Users: (in Ch. 2)

To provide financial information about the reporting entity that is useful to existing and potential investors, lenders, and other creditors in making decisions about providing resources to the entity

Pervasive Cost-Benefit Constraint: Benefits of providing information should outweigh its costs

Fundamental Qualitative Characteristics of Useful Information: (in Ch. 2)

Relevance (including materiality) and Faithful Representation

Attributes That Enhance Qualitative Characteristics: Comparability (including consistency), Verifiability, Timeliness, and Understandability

2-‹#›

Qualitative Characteristics of Useful Information

For accounting information to be useful, it must be relevant and be a faithful representation. Relevant information is capable of influencing decisions by allowing users to assess past activities and/or predict future activities. To be reported, the information should also be material in amount, depending on the nature of the item and company. Faithful representation requires that the information be complete, neutral, and free from error.

Comparability, verifiability, timeliness, and understandability are qualitative characteristics that enhance the usefulness of information that is relevant and faithfully represented. For example, our discussions of ratio analysis will emphasize the importance of comparing ratios for the same company over time, as well as with those of competitors. Such comparisons are valid only if the information is prepared on a consistent and comparable basis. These characteristics of useful information guide the FASB in deciding what financial information should be reported.

Exhibit 2.1 provides an overview of the key concepts in the framework that will be discussed in each of the next four chapters. A clear understanding of these accounting concepts will be helpful as you study, and they also will help you in future chapters as we examine more complex business activities. The primary objective of financial reporting to external users is to provide financial information about the reporting entity that is useful to existing and potential investors, lenders, and other creditors in making decisions about providing resources to the entity.

Recognition and Measurement Concepts

There are three assumptions and a measurement concept that underlie much of our application of the definitions for the elements of the financial statements. First, we make the separate entity assumption, which states that each business’s activities must be accounted for separately from the activities of its owners, all other persons, and other entities. Second, under the going concern assumption (sometimes called the continuity assumption), unless there is evidence to the contrary, we assume that the business will continue operating into the foreseeable future, long enough to meet its contractual commitments and plans. Under the monetary unit assumption, each business entity accounts for and reports its financial results primarily in terms of the national monetary unit (e.g., dollars in the United States, yen in Japan, and euros in Germany), without any adjustment for changes in purchasing power (e.g., inflation).

Finally, accountants measure the elements of the balance sheet using what is called a mixed-attribute measurement model. Most balance sheet elements are recorded at their cost (historical cost), which is the cash-equivalent value on the date of the transaction.

2-‹#›

Elements of the Balance Sheet

A = L + SE

Assets

Liabilities

Stockholders’ Equity

Economic resources with probable future benefits owned or controlled by the entity.

Debts or obligations (claims to a company’s resources) that result from a company’s past transactions and will be paid with assets or services. Entities that a company owes money to are called creditors.

The financing provided by the owners and the operations of the business.

2-‹#›

Assets are economic resources with probable future benefits owned or controlled by an entity as a result of past transactions. In other words, they are the acquired resources the entity can use to operate in the future. Current assets are those resources that Chipotle will use or turn into cash within one year (the next 12 months). Current assets include Cash, Short-Term Investments (in the stocks and bonds of other companies), Accounts Receivable (due from customers and others), Supplies, Prepaid Expenses (for rent, insurance, and advertising paid in advance of use), and Other Current Assets (a summary of several smaller accounts). For manufacturers that produce and sell goods and merchandisers who sell already-completed goods, Inventory (for goods to be sold) also would be listed. All other assets are considered long term (or noncurrent). That is, they are to be used or turned into cash after the coming year. For Chipotle, that includes using property and equipment (Land, Buildings, and Equipment) and Intangibles (nonphysical assets such as trademarks and patents) over several years.

Liabilities are probable debts or obligations (claims to a company’s resources) that result from a company’s past transactions and will be paid with assets or services. Entities that a company owes money to are called creditors. Liabilities are usually listed on the balance sheet in order of maturity (how soon an obligation is to be paid).

Stockholders’ equity (also called shareholders’ equity or owners’ equity) is the financing provided by the owners and by business operations. Financing Provided by Owners is referred to as contributed capital. Owners invest in the business by providing cash and sometimes other assets, receiving in exchange shares of stock as evidence of ownership. Financing Provided by Operations is referred to as earned capital or retained earnings. When companies earn profits, they can be distributed to owners as dividends or reinvested in the business. The portion of profits reinvested in the business is called Retained Earnings.

Exhibit 2.2

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., Balance Sheet

*The information has been adapted from actual statements and simplified for this chapter.

2-‹#›

The balance sheet is a “snapshot” at any given point in time of the company’s assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity. Balance sheets may be prepared monthly, quarterly, or annually. Most companies list assets in order of liquidity, or how soon an asset is expected by management to be turned into cash or used. Note that inventory is always considered a current asset, regardless of how long it takes to produce and sell the inventory. All other assets are considered long term (or noncurrent). That is, they are to be used or turned into cash beyond the coming year.

Just as assets are reported in order of liquidity, liabilities are usually listed on the balance sheet in order of maturity (how soon an obligation is to be paid). Current liabilities are obligations that will be settled by providing cash, goods, or services within the coming year.

Owner-provided cash (and sometimes other assets) is referred to as contributed capital. Contributed capital is usually composed of common stock and additional paid-in capital. Owners who invest (or buy stock) in a company hope to benefit from their investment in two ways: receipts of dividends, which are a distribution of a company’s earnings (a return on the shareholders’ investment), and gains from selling the stock for more than they paid (known as capital gains). Earnings that are not distributed to the owners but instead are reinvested in the business by management are called retained earnings.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

$$$

Unrecorded but Valuable Assets and Liabilities

Many very valuable intangible assets, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights are not reported on the balance sheet.

Intangible assets not reported:

Internally developed over time

Not purchased

Some liabilities, called off-balance-sheet financing, are not reported as liabilities on the balance sheet.

Off-balance-sheet financing:

Some equipment or building rentals

2-‹#›

Many very valuable intangible assets, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights that are developed inside a company (not purchased), are not reported on the balance sheet.

Nearly all companies have off-balance-sheet financing. The most common form of such financing is in the form of leases. These obligations are not reported as liabilities on the balance sheet.

2-‹#›

Learning Objective 2-2

2-2 Identify what constitutes a business transaction and recognize common balance sheet account titles used in business.

2-‹#›

Nature of Business Transactions

What Business Activities Cause Changes in the Financial Statement Amounts?

Transactions include two types of events:

External Events: Exchanges between the entity and one or more parties.

Ex: Purchase of a machine from a supplier.

Internal Events: Events that are not exchanges between parties but that have a direct and measurable effect on the entity.

Ex: Using up insurance paid in advance.

2-‹#›

Accounting focuses on certain events that have an economic impact on the entity. Those events that are recorded as part of the accounting process are called transactions.

As the definitions of assets and liabilities indicate, only economic resources and debts resulting from past transactions are recorded on the balance sheet. Transactions include two types of events:

External events: These are exchanges of assets, goods, or services by one party for assets, services, or promises to pay (liabilities) from one or more other parties. Examples include the purchase of a machine from a supplier, sale of merchandise to customers, borrowing cash from a bank, and investment of cash in the business by the owners.

Internal events: These include certain events that are not exchanges between the business and other parties but nevertheless have a direct and measurable effect on the entity. Examples include using up insurance paid in advance and using buildings and equipment over several years.

2-‹#›

Accounts are used by companies to accumulate

the dollar effect of transactions.

In the process of accounting, we use accounts to help us organize information about various transactions. Once you select a name for an account, you must use that exact name in all transactions affecting that account.

Title expense accounts by what was incurred or used followed by the word “expense,” except for inventory sold, which is titled Cost of Goods Sold.

Accounts with “payable” in the title are

always liabilities and represent amounts owed by the company to be paid to others in the future.

Prepaid Expenses

is always an asset; it represents amounts paid in advance by the company to others for future benefits, such as future insurance coverage, rental of property, or advertising.

Accounts with

“receivable” in the title are always assets; they represent amounts owed by (receivable from) customers and others to the business.

Title revenue accounts by their source followed by the word “revenue.”

Accounts with “unearned” in the title are always liabilities representing amounts paid in the past to the company by others who expect future goods or services from the company.

2-‹#›

This slide lists various account titles that are quite common and are used by most companies. The exhibit also provides special notes to help you in learning account titles. When you are completing assignments and are unsure of an account title, refer to this listing for help.

To facilitate the recording of transactions, each company establishes a chart of accounts, which is a list of all account titles and their unique numbers. The accounts are usually organized by financial statement element, with asset accounts listed first, followed by liability, stockholders’ equity, revenue, and expense accounts in that order. Every company creates its own chart of accounts to fit the nature of its business activities. Once you select a name for an account, you must use that exact name in all transactions affecting that account.

2-‹#›

Learning Objective 2-3

2-3 Apply transaction analysis to simple business transactions in terms of the accounting model: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity.

2-‹#›

Principles of Transaction Analysis

Every transaction affects at least two accounts.

Correctly identifying those accounts and the direction of the effect (whether an increase or a decrease) is critical!

The accounting equation must remain in balance after each transaction.

A = L + SE

Assets

Liabilities

Stockholders’

Equity

Every transaction has at least two effects (dual effects) on the basic accounting equation.

2-‹#›

Transaction analysis is the process of studying a transaction to determine its economic effect on the entity in terms of the accounting equation (also known as the fundamental accounting model).

The two principles underlying the transaction analysis process:

Every transaction affects at least two accounts

Correctly identifying those accounts and the direction of the effect (whether an increase or a decrease) is critical.

As we record the transactions, we must make sure that the accounting equation remains in balance.

2-‹#›

Balancing the Accounting Equation

The accounting equation must remain in balance after each transaction.

Step 1: Ask - What was received and what was given?

Identify each account affected by title (e.g., Cash and Notes Payable). Make sure at least two accounts change.

Classify each account by type: Asset (A), Liability (L), or Stockholders’ Equity (SE) (e.g. Cash is an asset and Notes Payable is a liability).

Determine the direction of the effect: The account increased (+) or decreased (−) (e.g. Cash increased and Notes Payable increased).

Step 2: Verify - Is the accounting equation in balance? (A = L + SE)

2-‹#›

The idea that every transaction has at least two effects on the basic accounting equation is known as the dual effects concept. Most transactions involve an exchange, by which one party receives something while giving up something in return.

The accounting equation must remain in balance after each transaction. That is, total assets (resources) must equal total liabilities and stockholders’ equity (claims to resources). If all correct accounts have been identified and the appropriate direction of the effect on each account has been determined, the equation should remain in balance.

Analyzing Chipotle’s Transactions (1 of 7)

To illustrate the use of the transaction analysis process, let’s consider transactions of Chipotle that are also common to most businesses.

Assume that Chipotle engages in the following events during the first quarter of 2018, the first three months following the balance sheet in Exhibit 2.2.

Account titles are from that balance sheet. All amounts are in millions, except per share data.

2-‹#›

This slide is an introduction to the next set of slides showing transactions from the first quarter for Chipotle.

2-‹#›

Analyzing Chipotle’s Transactions (2 of 7)

(a) Chipotle issued (sold) 100 additional shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share at a market value of $3.00 per share, receiving $300 in cash from investors.

Step 1: What was received and what was given?

(account name, type of account, amount, and direction of effect)

Received: Cash (+A) $300

Given: Additional stock shares:

Common Stock (+SE) $1 (100 shares × $0.01 per share)

Additional Paid-in Capital (+SE) $299 (100 shares × $2.99 per share)

Step 2: Is the accounting equation in balance?

Assets $300 = Liabilities $0 + Stockholders’ Equity $300

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity

Property and Intangible Notes Dividends Common Additional Retained

Cash Investments Equipment Assets Payable Payable Stock Paid-in Capital Earnings

(a) +300 = +1 +299

2-‹#›

When a corporation issues common stock, the transaction affects separate accounts:

Received from shareholders: Cash for the market value of the shares given (100 shares × $3.00 market value = $300)

Given to shareholders: Additional stock shares: Common Stock for the number of shares issued times the par value per share (100 shares × $0.01 par value = $1)

Additional Paid-in Capital for the excess received above par (100 shares × $2.99 excess over par value = $299)

2-‹#›

Analyzing Chipotle’s Transactions (3 of 7)

(b) Chipotle borrowed $2 from its local bank, signing a note to be paid in three years (a noncurrent liability).

Step 1: What was received and what was given?

(account name, type of account, amount, and direction of effect)

Assets $2 = Liabilities $2 + Stockholders’ Equity $0

Step 2: Is the accounting equation in balance?

Received: Cash (+A) $2

Given: Long-Term Notes Payable (+L) $2

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity

Property and Intangible Notes Dividends Common Additional Retained

Cash Investments Equipment Assets Payable Payable Stock Paid-in Capital Earnings

(a) +300 = +1 +299

(b) +2 = +2

2-‹#›

Events (a) and (b) are financing transactions. Companies that need cash for investing purposes (to buy or build additional facilities) often seek funds by selling stock to investors as in event (a) or by borrowing from creditors as in event (b). Notice that the accounting equation is in balance after the identification and classification of the accounts involved in the transactions.

2-‹#›

(c) Chipotle purchased $8 in additional land, $34 in new buildings, $10 in new equipment, and $3 in additional intangible assets; paid $54 in cash and signed a $1 short-term note payable for the remainder amount owed.

Step 1: What was received and what was given?

(account name, type of account, amount, and direction of effect)

Assets $1 = Liabilities $1 + Stockholders’ Equity $0

Step 2: Is the accounting equation in balance?

Received: Land (+A) $8

Buildings (+A) 34

Equipment (+A) 10

Intangible Assets (+A) 3

Given: Cash (−A) $54

Short-Term Notes Payable (+L) 1

Analyzing Chipotle’s Transactions (4 of 7)

(a) +300 = +1 +299

(b) +2 = +2

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity

Property and Intangible Notes Dividends Common Additional Retained

Cash Investments Equipment Assets Payable Payable Stock Paid-in Capital Earnings

2-‹#›

Purchasing and selling property and equipment and investments in the stock of other companies are investing activities. In the investing transaction (c), notice how more than two accounts were effected.

2-‹#›

(d) Chipotle paid $1 on the short-term note payable in (c) above (ignore any interest on the loan in this chapter).

Step 1: What was received and what was given?

(account name, type of account, amount, and direction of effect)

Assets –$1 = Liabilities −$1 + Stockholders’ Equity $0

Step 2: Is the accounting equation in balance?

Received: Reduction in amount due:

Short-Term Notes Payable (−L) $1

Given: Cash (−A) $1

Analyzing Chipotle’s Transactions (5 of 7)

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity

Property and Intangible Notes Dividends Common Additional Retained

Cash Investments Equipment Assets Payable Payable Stock Paid-in Capital Earnings

(a) +300 = +1 +299

(b) +2 = +2

–1 = –1

2-‹#›

Here, Chipotle paid $1 on the short-term notes payable from (c) above. So in this transaction, we have an asset (Cash) decreasing by $1 in order to decrease the liability account short-term notes payable.

2-‹#›

(e) Chipotle purchased the stock of other companies as investments, paying $44 cash; of this, $9 was in short-term investments and $35 was in long-term investments.

Step 1: What was received and what was given?

(account name, type of account, amount, and direction of effect)

Assets $0 = Liabilities $0 + Stockholders’ Equity $0

Analyzing Chipotle’s Transactions (6 of 7)

Step 2: Is the accounting equation in balance?

Received: Short-Term Investments (+A) $9

Long-Term Investments (+A) 35

Given: Cash (−A) $44

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity

Property and Intangible Notes Dividends Common Additional Retained

Cash Investments Equipment Assets Payable Payable Stock Paid-in Capital Earnings

(a) +300 = +1 +299

(b) +2 = +2

–1 = –1

–44 +44 =

2-‹#›

In transaction (e), Chipotle purchased the stock of other companies as a long-term investment, paying $44 in cash. Of the total paid, $9 is considered a short-term investment by management and the remainder, $35 is considered a long-term investment. The Cash account (an asset) decreased by $44, while the Short-Term Investments (an asset) increased by $9 and the Long-Term Investments (an asset) increased by $35. Because we are exchanging one asset (Cash) for another asset (Short-Term and Long-Term Investments), there is no change in the total assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity.

2-‹#›

Analyzing Chipotle’s Transactions (7 of 7)

(f) Chipotle does not pay dividends but instead reinvests profits into growing the business. However, for illustration purposes, assume Chipotle’s board of directors declared that the Company will pay $2 in cash as dividends to shareholders next quarter.

Step 1: What was received and what was given?

(account name, type of account, amount, and direction of effect)

Step 2: Is the accounting equation in balance?

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity

Property and Intangible Notes Dividends Common Additional Retained

Cash Investments Equipment Assets Payable Payable Stock Paid-in Capital Earnings

Received: Lower undistributed earnings

Retained Earnings (−SE) $2

Given: Dividends Payable (+L) $2

Assets $0 = Liabilities $2 + Stockholders’ Equity −$2

Overall effects of (a)–( f): Assets $302 = Liabilities $4 + Stockholders’ Equity $298

$302 = $302

(a) +300 = +1 +299

(b) +2 = +2

–1 = –1

–44 +44 =

(f) +2 –2

+203 +44 +52 +3 = +2 +2 +1 +299 –2

2-‹#›

In transaction (f), assume the board of directors of Chipotle declared that the Company will pay $2 in cash dividends to shareholders next quarter.

Retained Earnings represent the profits available to shareholders. When a company’s board of directors declares a cash dividend, Retained Earnings is reduced. Thus, the company experiences a reduction in the profits it has available to distribute to shareholders. On the other hand, until the dividends are paid, they are considered a liability (Dividends Payable). When the dividend is paid to stockholders, the Dividends Payable account is removed. After the identification and classification of the transaction, the accounting equation is still in balance. This transaction did not impact the asset side of the equation.

2-‹#›

Learning Objective 2-4

2-4 Determine the impact of business transactions on the balance sheet using two basic tools: Journal entries and T-accounts.

2-‹#›

How Do Companies Keep Track of Account Balances?

General Journal

(chronological list of transactions)

General Ledger

or T-accounts

(a record of effects to and balances of each account)

POST

2-‹#›

During the accounting period, transactions that result in exchanges between the company and external parties are analyzed to determine the accounts and effects. The effects are recorded first in the general journal, a listing in chronological order of each transaction’s effects. To determine account balances, the accounts are updated by posting the effects listed in the general journal to the respective accounts in the general ledger, a record of effects to and balances of each account.

These formal records are based on two very important tools used by accountants: journal entries and T-accounts. From the standpoint of accounting systems design, these analytical tools are a more efficient way to reflect the effects of transactions, determine account balances, and prepare financial statements. As future business managers, you should develop your understanding and use of these tools in financial analysis.

2-‹#›

For most organizations, recording the effects of transactions and keeping track of account balances in the manner just presented is impractical. To handle the multitude of daily transactions that business generates, companies establish accounting systems, usually computerized, that follow a cycle. The accounting cycle, illustrated on this slide, highlights the primary activities performed during the accounting period, which entities use to analyze, record, and post transactions. In Chapters 2 and 3, we will illustrate these activities during the accounting period. In Chapter 4, we will complete the accounting cycle by discussing and illustrating activities at the end of the accounting period to adjust the records, prepare the financial statements, and finally close the accounting records.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

2-‹#›

Throughout this course, we are going to use the T-account as a tool to represent a ledger account. The T-account has a left side, called the debit side, and a right side, called the credit side.

Transactions increase and decrease assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity. The model reflects the direction of these effects. It is critical to note that the increase symbol (+) is located on the left side of the T for accounts on the left side of the accounting equation (assets) and on the right side of the T for accounts on the right side of the equation (liabilities and stockholders’ equity).

From this transaction analysis model, we can observe the following:

Increases in asset accounts are on the left because assets are on the left side of the accounting equation (A = L + SE).

Increases in liability and stockholders’ equity accounts are on the right because they are on the right side of the accounting equation (A = L + SE).

The words "debit" and "credit" have no specific meaning other than that they represent the left and right sides of the ledger account.

• The term debit (dr for short) always refers to the left side of the T.

• The term credit (cr for short) always refers to the right side of the T.

2-‹#›

Debits and Credits

In Summary:

2-‹#›

Asset accounts increase on the left (debit) side and normally have debit balances. It would be highly unusual for an asset account, such as Inventory, to have a negative (credit) balance.

Liability and stockholders’ equity accounts increase on the right (credit) side and normally have credit balances.

In Chapter 3, we will add revenue and expense account effects to Retained Earnings in our model.

Many students have trouble with accounting because they forget that the term debit is simply the left side of an account and the term credit is simply the right side of an account. Perhaps someone once told you that you were a credit to your school or your family. As a result, you may think that credits are good and debits are bad. Such is not the case. Just remember that debit is on the left and credit is on the right.

If you have identified the correct accounts and effects through transaction analysis, the accounting equation will remain in balance. The total dollar value of all debits will equal the total dollar value of all credits in a transaction. For an extra measure of assurance, add this equality check (Debits = Credits) to the transaction analysis process.

For the typical general journal entries, the debited accounts are written first with the amounts placed in the column labeled “Debit.” The credited accounts are written below the debits and are usually indented in a manual system; the credited amounts are placed in the column labeled “Credit.” It is useful to include a date or some form of reference for each transaction.

Recall our first transaction where Chipotle issued 100 additional shares of common stock to new investors for cash. We first record this transaction in the general journal. We debit, or increase, the Cash account for $300 and credit Common Stock for $1 (100 shares × $0.01 par value per share). Finally, we credit Additional Paid-in Capital for $299.

Moving the accounting information from the journal to the ledger is called posting.

One very useful tool for summarizing the transaction effects and determining the balances for individual accounts is a T-account, a simplified representation of a ledger account. On this slide, we show the T-account for Cash and Common Stock. The beginning balances are carried forward from the previous period and are placed into the accounts for illustrative purposes only.

Inferring Business Activities from T-Accounts

Cash payments to suppliers?

− Accounts Payable (L) +

600 Beg. bal.

1,500 Purchases on account

300 End bal.

Solution:

Beginning Purchases Cash Payments Ending

Balance + on Account - to Suppliers = Balance

$600 + $1,500 - ? = $ 300

$2,100 - ? = $ 300

? = $1,800

2-‹#›

T-accounts are useful in determining the nature of specific transactions. This Accounts Payable example shows how the account is primarily affected by purchases on account and cash payments to suppliers. If we know the beginning Accounts Payable balance, along with the ending Accounts Payable balance and the amount of purchases on credit, then we can determine the amount of cash paid to suppliers.

Our second transaction was to borrow $2 from the local bank, signing a note to be paid in three years. Make sure you look through the journal entry carefully, checking to make sure the equation is in balance with the T-accounts, and finally post to the general ledger accounts. All the other accounts of Chipotle may be analyzed in the same manner shown on the previous slides.

Trial Balance

The trial balance is a listing of the ending balance in each account in the general ledger.

List accounts in financial statement order (assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenues and expenses).

The purpose of the trial balance is to make sure the debits and credits are equal.

Classified Balance Sheet

Current assets are those to be used or turned into cash within the upcoming year, whereas noncurrent assets are those that will last longer than one year.

Assets and liabilities are classified into two categories: current and noncurrent.

Current liabilities are those obligations to be paid or settled within the next 12 months with current assets.

In a classified balance sheet, assets and liabilities are classified into two categories: current and noncurrent. Current assets are those to be used or turned into cash within the upcoming year, whereas noncurrent assets are those that will last longer than one year. Current liabilities are those obligations to be paid or settled within the next 12 months with current assets.

International Perspective

2-‹#›

Although IFRS differ from GAAP, they use the same system of analyzing, recording, and summarizing the results of business activities that you learned. One place where IFRS differ from GAAP is in the formatting of financial statements.

Although financial statements prepared using GAAP and IFRS include the same elements (assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, etc.), a single, consistent format has not been mandated. Consequently, various formats have evolved over time, with those in the U.S. differing from those typically used internationally. The formatting differences include those identified on this slide.

Of the differences listed, balance sheet order is the most striking. GAAP begin with current items, whereas IFRS begin with noncurrent items. Consistent with this, assets are listed in decreasing order of liquidity under GAAP, but internationally, they are usually in increasing order of liquidity. IFRS similarly emphasizes longer-term financing sources by listing equity before liabilities and, within liabilities, by listing noncurrent liabilities before current liabilities (decreasing time to maturity). The key to avoiding confusion is to pay attention to the subheadings in the statement. Any account under the heading “liabilities” must be a liability.

KEY RATIO ANALYSIS

$$$

Current Ratio

Current Ratio = Current Assets

Current Liabilities

Does a company have the short-term resources to pay its short-term debt?

2-‹#›

Users of financial information compute a number of ratios when analyzing a company’s past performance and financial condition as input in predicting its future potential. How ratios change over time and how they compare to the ratios of the company’s competitors or industry averages provide valuable information about a company’s strategies for its operating, investing, and financing activities.

Creditors and security analysts use the current ratio to measure the ability of the company to pay its short-term obligations with short-term assets. Generally, the higher the ratio, the more cushion a company has to pay its current obligations if future economic conditions take a downturn. However, a company with a high current ratio might still have liquidity problems if the majority of its current assets consist of slow-moving inventory.

Over time, the current ratio for Chipotle shows a high level of liquidity, well above 1.0, although the ratio has fluctuated since 2015. Chipotle continues to follow a growth strategy of opening over 130 new restaurants annually, requiring cash to fund its expansion.

FOCUS ON CASH FLOWS

$$$

Investing and Financing Activities

Companies report cash inflows (+) and outflows (−) over a period in their statement of cash flows.

2-‹#›

Recall from Chapter 1 that companies report cash inflows and outflows over a period in their statement of cash flows. This statement categorizes all transactions that affect cash into three categories: operating, investing, and financing activities.

Operating activities are covered in Chapter 3.

Investing activities include buying and selling noncurrent assets and investments.

Financing activities include borrowing and repaying debt, including taking out short-term bank loans; issuing and repurchasing stock; and paying dividends.

When cash is involved, these activities are reported on the statement of cash flows. (When cash is not included in the transaction, such as when a building is acquired with a long-term mortgage note payable, there is no cash effect to include on the statement of cash flows. You must see cash in the transaction for it to affect the statement of cash flows.) In general, the effects (new cash inflows and outflows) of such activities are as shown on this slide.
