CHAPTER 4
ADJUSTMENTS, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS,
AND THE QUALITY OF EARNINGS
Chapter Take-Aways
4-1 Explain and purpose of adjustments and analyze the adjustments necessary at the end of the
period to update balance sheet and income statements accounts.
Adjusting entries are necessary at the end of the accounting period to measure income properly,
correct errors, and provide for adequate valuation of balance sheet accounts. There are four types:
Deferred revenues – previously recorded liabilities created when cash was received before being
earned that must be adjusted for the amount of revenue earned during the period.
Accrued revenues – revenues that were earned during the period but have not yet been recorded
(cash will be received in the future).
Deferred expenses – previously recorded assets (Prepaid Rent, Supplies, and Equipment) that must
be adjusted for the amount of expense incurred during the period.
Accrued expenses – expenses that were incurred during the period but have not yet been recorded
(cash will be paid in the future).
The analysis involves:
Step 1: Determining if revenue was earned or an expense was incurred. Record an increase in the
revenue or expense account.
Step 2: Determining whether cash was received or paid in the past or will be received or paid in the
future. If in the past, the existing asset or liability is overstated and needs to be reduced. If in
the future, the related receivable or payable account needs to be increased.
Step 3: Computing the amount of revenue earned or expense incurred in the period.
Recording adjusting entries has no effect on the Cash account.
4-2 Present an income statement with earnings per share, a statement of stockholders’ equity, and a
balance sheet.
Adjusted account balances are used in preparing the following financial statements:
Income Statement: Revenues – Expenses = Net Income (including earnings per share, computed
as net income divided by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period). It may be classified into a section on operating revenues and expenses followed by a
section on other items (primarily interest revenue, interest expense, and gains and losses on
investments).
Statement of Stockholders’ Equity: (Beginning Contributed Capital + Stock Issuances – Stock
Repurchases) + (Beginning Retained Earnings + Net Income – Dividends Declared) = Ending
Total Stockholders’ Equity.
Balance Sheet: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity. It is often classified into current assets
followed by noncurrent assets and current liabilities followed by noncurrent liabilities.

Key Ratio
Total asset turnover measures sales generated per dollar of assets. A high or rising ratio suggests that the
company is managing its assets more efficiently. It is computed as follows:
Total Asset Turnover = Net Sales (or Operating Revenues) Average Total Assets

HANDOUT 4 – 4
Refer to the financial statements from Handout 3-3 and calculate the net profit margin ratio of Deana’s
Decorators for the year ending December 31of the current year. Assume that assets totaled $110,000 at
January 1 of the current year. Then, indicate what this ratio measures and how you would interpret the
results.
Calculation:
Total Asset Turnover Ratio = Net Sales (or Operating Revenues) ÷ Average Total Assets
The total asset turnover ratio measures the sales generated per dollar of assets. Deana’s Decorators
generated $1.06 of sales per dollar of assets.
The total asset turnover ratio would be interpreted by comparison to that of prior periods and to that of
the company’s competitors.
A high asset turnover ratio signifies efficient management of assets; a low asset turnover ratio signifies
less efficient management. A company’s products or services and business strategy contribute
significantly to its asset turnover ratio. However, when competitors are similar, management’s ability
to control the firm’s assets is vital in determining its success. Stronger financial performance improves
the asset turnover ratio.
