The following information is available from recent annual reports of J.C. Penney and Sears:(Amounts in millions)

J.C. Penney Sears Average current liabilities $ 5,993 $14,779Average total liabilities 13,677 29,984Cash provided by operations 382 1,189Net income 565 1,271Net sales 22,653 33,812

Instructions(a) Based on the preceding information, compute the following ratios for each company:

1. Current cash debt coverage2. Cash return on sales3. Cash debt coverage

(b) What conclusions concerning the management of cash can be drawn from these data?

Solution 122 (15 min.)

(a) J.C. Penney Sears

1. Current cash debt coverage ratio = .06 times = .08 times

2. Cash return on sales ratio = 1.7% = 3.5%

3. Cash debt coverage ratio = .03 times = .04 times

(b) With the current cash debt coverage ratio and the cash debt coverage ratio, the higher the ratio the better the liquidity and solvency respectively. Sears’ two coverage ratios are both one-third higher than Penney’s coverage ratios. Sears’ cash return on sales ratio is twice as high as Penney’s ratio, which indicates Sears is more efficient in turning sales into cash from operations.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS

S-A E 139

The statement of cash flows is the only required financial statement that is not prepared from an adjusted trial balance. What are the sources of information for preparing a statement of cash flows? Explain how the accrual basis of accounting affects the statement of cash flows.

Solution 139

The information used to prepare the statement of cash flows usually comes from three sources. These sources are (1) a comparative balance sheet, (2) current income statement, and (3) additional information.

The accrual basis of accounting requires that revenues be recorded when earned and that expenses be recorded when incurred. Thus, net income may include earned revenues for which cash has not yet been collected and include incurred expenses which have not yet been paid for in cash. These noncash revenues and noncash expenses do not affect the cash balance. Therefore, the noncash revenues and noncash expenses must be eliminated to determine the net cash provided by operating activities.

S-A E 140

Cash flows from operating activities can be calculated using the indirect or direct method. Briefly describe how the two methods differ yet arrive at the same information about the net cash flows from operating activities.

Solution 140

The indirect method (or reconciliation method) starts with net income and converts it to the net cash provided by operating activities. There are two types of adjustments: (1) changes in current assets and current liabilities and (2) noncash charges and credits. For example, an increase in accounts receivable is deducted from net income and an increase in accounts payable is added to net income. Similarly, a noncash charge for depreciation expense is added to net income. The adjustments are the difference between net income and the net cash provided by operating activities.

Under the direct method, net cash provided by operating activities is computed by adjusting each item in the income statement from the accrual to the cash basis. Within the operating activities section, only major classes of operating cash receipts and cash payments are reported. The classes include cash receipts from customers and cash payments to suppliers. The difference between these major classes is the net cash provided by operating activities.

The same adjustments are used in both methods, regardless of whether net income is adjusted or individual revenues and expenses are adjusted. Therefore, both methods arrive at the same result.

S-A E 141 (Ethics)

Flint Hills Company's most recent financial statements showed dismal performance. There was a net loss of $10,000 and the statement of cash flows showed a net cash decrease in all categories. The company president called all the managers together and asked them to do all they could to make sure the next quarter's performance was better.

Ken Nye, manager of the manufacturing division, sold off old manufacturing equipment. He also reclassified several workers to part time (30 hours per week) and hired additional temporary workers to take up the slack. This saved the company money, since part-time workers do not have the same insurance and other benefits as full-time workers.

Fred Long, financial manager, immediately suspended payments on all accounts except those on which interest would accrue. He also instituted aggressive collection procedures.

Required:1. Were Ken Nye's actions ethical? Explain.2. Were Fred Long's actions ethical? Explain.3. Were the company president's actions ethical? Explain.

Solution 141

1. There is a valid question as to whether Ken Nye's actions are ethical or not. Either answer could be considered correct. On the one hand, he was probably within his legal rights to reclassify the workers. He also might be commended for allowing more workers to have a job than was previously the case. On the other hand, however, he has removed a very real benefit from the former full-time workers, and he has done it fairly arbitrarily. He may have harmed morale, and harmed the company if the workers quit and new workers have to be hired.

2. Fred Long's actions all appear to be ethical.

3. The company president may have placed undue pressure on the employees to show better results. The managers may feel that they need to sacrifice the long-term goals of the firm for short-term benefits.

S-A E 142 (Communication)

You are the accountant for a small manufacturing firm. Your company is privately held, so there is no current requirement to issue financial statements using GAAP. You were hired four years ago, and at that time you instituted a cash budgeting system. Presently, you prepare a schedule of predicted cash sources and cash needs at the end of each week for the following week.

Jay Howell, the company's president, has asked whether a statement of cash flows would also be useful.

Required:Prepare a short memorandum to the president indicating whether you believe such an addition to the financial statements to be useful. Include in your memo the benefits that might be expected from a statement of cash flows and whether those are different from the benefits of a cash sources and cash needs listing.


Solution 142

FROM: Nancy Jenks

RE: Statement of Cash Flows vs. Cash Sources and Needs

You asked whether a Statement of Cash Flows would be useful, in addition to the Cash Sources and Needs statement. In my opinion, the statement of cash flows would be extremely useful. It gives different information than the Cash Sources and Needs does. A Statement of Cash Flows would provide historical information about where we got the funds for operating, financing, and investing activities, as well as how we used the funds. It is a summary of our performance. The Cash Sources and Needs statement, on the other hand, is a prediction of the cash we will need and the source from which it will be obtained. One is our plan, the other is our result.

Please let me know if you'd like more details about the Statement of Cash Flows.
