精彩書摘
The liquidity measures of working capital, current ratio, and acid-test ratio were discussed in Chapter 3. One point that deserves reemphasis is the effect of the inven- tory cost-flow assumption on working capital. The balance sheet carrying value of inventories will depend on whether the weighted-average, FIFO, or LIFO assumption is used. In periods of rising prices, a firm using the FIFO cost-flow assumption will report a relatively higher asset value for inventories than a similar firm using the LIFO cost-flow assumption. Thus, even though the firms may be similar in all other respects, they will report different amounts of working capital, and they will have different cur- rent ratios. Therefore, a direct comparison of the liquidity of the two firms by using these measures is not possible. To ease this reporting difficulty, many firms using the LIFO method will disclose a LIFO reserve amount in the explanatory footnotes sec- tion of their annual reports. The LIFO reserve is the difference between the inventory valuation as reported under the LIFO basis and the amount that would have been reported under the FIFO basis. For example, the Eastman Kodak Company disclosed a LIFO reserve of $291 million in its 2005 annual report, which would have increased the firm’s reported inventory by 26%. Not surprisingly, Kodak switched from LIFO to the weighted-average inventory method (which for them approximates FIFO) on January 1, 2006, and thus has been able to report substantially higher inventory values on subsequent balance sheets. Of course, the differences caused by the LIFO–FIFO selection are often less dramatic for firms operating in other industries, as suggested by the LIFO reserves disclosed in 2008 by General Motors (9% of reported inventory) and General Electric (only 5%). Intel Corporation’s inventories are reported on a basis that approximates FIFO (see page 695 in the appendix).
Even more significant to suppliers or potential suppliers/creditors of the firm than the aggregate working capital or liquidity ratios is the firm’s current and recent pay- ment experience. Suppliers/creditors want to know whether or not the firm is paying its bills promptly. One indication of this is whether all cash discounts for prompt payment (e.g., for payment terms of 2/10, net 30) are being taken. Information about current and recent payment practices can be obtained by contacting other suppliers or credit bureaus and by reviewing Dun & Bradstreet reports (see Business in Practice—Credit Rating and Financial Analysis Services).

前言/序言
Welcome to the Ninth Edition of Accounting: What the Numbers Mean. We are confident that this text and supplemental resources will permit the achievement of understanding the basics of financial reporting by corporations and other enterprises.
Accounting has become known as the language of business. Financial statements result from the accounting process and are used by owners/investors, employees, creditors, and regulators in their planning, controlling, and decision-making activities as they evaluate the achievement of an organization’s objectives. Active study of this text will allow you to acquire command of the language and help you become an informed user of accounting information.
Accounting issues are likely to touch the majority of career paths in today’s economy. Students whose principal academic interests are not in accounting, but who are interested in other areas of business or nonbusiness areas, such as engineering, behavioral sciences, public administration and prelaw programs, will benefit from the approach used in this book. Individuals aspiring to an MBA degree or other graduate programs that focus on administration and management, who do not have an undergraduate business degree, will benefit from a course using this text.
Accounting: What the Numbers Mean takes the user through the basics: what accounting information is, how it is developed, how it is used, and what it means. Financial statements are examined to learn what they do and do not communicate, enhancing the student’s decision-making and problem-solving abilities from a user perspective. Achieving expertise in the preparation of financial statements is not an objective of this text. In short, we have designed these mate
