Reading 28: Integration of Financial Statement Analysis Techn

2011, recommend, companies, including
Session 7: Financial Reporting and Analysis: Earnings Quality Issues and Financial Ratio Analysis
Reading 28: Integration of Financial Statement Analysis Techniques

LOS c: Evaluate the quality of a company's financial data and recommend appropriate adjustments to improve quality and comparability with similar companies, including adjustments for differences in accounting rules, methods, and assumptions.

 

 

Northern Bottling (NB) currently shows minimum expected operating leases over the next 5 years of $3 million, $2.5 million, $2 million, $2 million, and $1.5 million. The firm’s current financing rate is 6.75% and the rate implicit in the lease contract is 7%. What adjustments would an analyst make to modify the balance sheet of NB to include this off-balance sheet financing? Increase long-term:

A)
 assets and long-term liabilities by $9.22 million.
B)
 assets and long-term liabilities by $9.27 million.
C)
 liabilities by $9.27 million and decrease equity by $9.27 million.

 

Recall that the interest rate in this present value computation is the lower of the firm’s financing rate or the interest rate that is implicit in the lease.  Therefore, the PV (operating leases) is:

= 3 / (1 + 0.0675) + 2.5 / (1 + 0.0675)2 + 2 / (1+ 0.0675)3 + 2 / (1 + 0.0675)4 + 1.5 / (1 + 0.0675)5

= 9.27 million

The proper adjustment is to increase both long-term assets and liabilities by the same amount.

Lucky Strike Mining Corp. (LSMC) reports in a footnote to the financial statements that it is party to a variable interest entity (VIE) through which it leases heavy equipment. LSMC has chosen not to report a residual value guarantee of $120 million for the equipment because it is not required to do so under accounting standards. However, the standards will change next year. What is the appropriate analytical treatment of this residual value guarantee?

A)
 Ignore the liability because current accounting standards do not require it to be included on the balance sheet. Include it in next year’s balance sheet adjustments.
B)
 Increase long-term liabilities and long-term assets by $120 million.
C)
 Increase long-term liabilities by $120 million and decrease equity by $120 million.

Increase long-term liabilities and long-term assets by $120 million.
