Sunbeam reported its highest revenue in the fourth quarter. This revenue distribution was suspect because:

A)
 receivables increased even faster than sales.
B)
 operating cash flow was negative.
C)
 Sunbeam’s products are not seasonal.


Sunbeam’s products were indeed not seasonal, and a seasonal distribution of revenue in a nonseasonal company is always suspect. Both remaining answers are incorrect for two reasons. First, we don’t know about operating cash flow or receivables for the quarter, only for the full year. But more importantly, even if we assume the statements are correct, they are not related to the disproportionate share of revenue recognized in the fourth quarter.

Sunbeam came up with some creative twists on the most common technique for earnings manipulation, which is:

A)
 delaying recognition of expenses.
B)
 improper revenue recognition.
C)
 creating “cookie jar” reserves.


The most common form of earnings manipulation is recognizing revenue too soon. Sunbeam found a number of ways to do that. Sunbeam created "cookie jar" reserves, but this is not the most common form of earnings manipulation.

The source of Sunbeam’s negative operating cash flow could have been determined by calculating which ratios?

A)
 Interest coverage.
B)

C)

Sunbeam’s negative cash flow was caused mostly by sharp increases in inventories and receivables. Turnover analysis could have identified those trends.
