Basic definitions for participants: Primary Source - http://www.investopedia.com/terms/ Income Statement - A financial statement that measures a company's financial performance over a specific accounting period. Financial performance is assessed by summarizing how the business incurs its revenues and expenses through both operating and non-operating activities. It also shows the net profit or loss incurred over a specific accounting period, typically over a fiscal quarter or year. Also known as the "profit and loss statement" or "statement of revenue and expense."

It is the "top line" or "gross income" figure from which costs are subtracted to determine net income. Read more: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/revenue.asp#ixzz3dSxxqV1B Cost of Goods - The direct costs attributable to the production of the goods sold by a company. This amount includes the cost of the materials used in creating the goods along with the direct labor costs used to produce the goods. It excludes indirect expenses such as distribution costs and sales force costs. COGS appears on the income statement and can be deducted from revenue to calculate a company's gross margin. Also referred to as "cost of sales." Read more: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cogs.asp#ixzz3dSyPEBdS Gross Income - A company's revenue minus cost of goods sold. Also called "gross margin" and "gross profit.” Read more: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/grossincome.asp#ixzz3dSyo9DYT Operating Expenses (SG&A) - Reported on the income statement, it is the sum of all direct and indirect selling expenses and all general and administrative expenses of a company. Direct selling expenses are expenses that can be directly linked to the sale of a specific unit such as credit, warranty and advertising expenses. Indirect selling expenses are expenses which cannot be directly linked to the sale of a specific unit, but which are proportionally allocated to all units sold during a certain period, such as telephone, interest and postal charges. General and administrative expenses include salaries of non-sales personnel, rent, heat and lights.

Operating income takes the gross income (revenue minus COG) and subtracts other operating expenses and then subtracts depreciation and amortization. These operating expenses are costs that are incurred from operating activities and include things such as office supplies and heat and power. Operating Income is typically a synonym for earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and is also commonly referred to as "operating profit" or "recurring profit." Read more: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/operatingincome.asp#ixzz3dSzpTWKb EBITDA (Earnings Before Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, Interest and Taxes) - EBITA is essentially net income with interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization added to it. This is used to compare profitability between companies and across industries since it eliminates effects of financing and accounting decisions. Readmore: Investopedia http://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/ebitda.asp EBITDA RATIO – the calculated value of EBIT divided by revenues. This ratio may be preferred over other measures of return as it normalizes the earning potential of companies to make it possible to compare between companies and across industries. EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) - Earnings before interest and taxes, or EBIT, takes a company’s revenue, or earnings, and subtracts its cost of goods sold Copyright © 2016, SciPhD.com and operating expenses. The resulting figure, EBIT, is also called "operating earnings," "operating profit," or "operating income." Another way to calculate EBIT is to take net income and add back the interest and taxes the company paid. Investors can find the data required to calculate EBIT on the company's income statement. If EBIT is unsatisfactory, the company will need to either increase its revenues, decrease its expenses or both to improve its performance. Read more: http://www.investopedia.com/video/play/ebit-earnings-interest-and- taxes/#ixzz3dT0giptF EBIT RATIO – Just as with EBITA ratio, this is the calculated value of EBIT divided by revenues. It is also often used to normalize the earning potential of companies across industries. Interest expenses - The cost incurred by an entity for borrowed funds. Interest expense is a non-operating expense shown on the income statement. It represents interest payable on any type of borrowings – bonds, loans, convertible debt or lines of credit. It is basically calculated as the interest rate times the outstanding principal amount of the debt. Interest expense on the income statement represents interest accrued during the period covered by the financial statements, and not the amount of interest actually paid over that period. While interest expense is tax-deductible for companies, in an individual's case, it depends on his or her jurisdiction and also on the loan's purpose.

Pretax operating income excludes non- operating forms of revenue and non-recurring transactions such as capital gains on assets and profits from unrelated investments in other companies (unless its main business is investment in other companies). Pretax operating income is one of the best barometers for the basic health of a business, because it measures both the revenue and expenses associated with the company's primary business activities.

Equity financing essentially refers to the sale of an ownership interest to raise funds for business purposes. Equity financing spans a wide range of activities in scale and scope, from a few thousand dollars raised by an entrepreneur from friends and family, to giant initial public offerings (IPOs) running into the billions by household names such as Google and Facebook.

Asset descriptions and depreciation details are included such as estimated life, number of periods taken for the year, first and last year periods of depreciation and acquisition cost; all to assist auditors in verifying the depreciation calculation and amounts. The report also includes assets that have been fully depreciated but have a balance remaining of Life-To-Date accumulated depreciation for the reported year. The asset amounts are reported as posted from the Fixed Asset history detail records generated from the Fixed Asset module and does NOT include amounts generated from General Journal Entries. The Depreciation Schedule pulls from two different Fixed Asset sources: 1. Fixed Asset Master File Maintenance 2. Fixed Asset history records The Fixed Asset Master File Maintenance or Asset Inquiry is where the actual asset master records reside; where assets are added and maintained. Key fields and amounts such as the asset Acquisition cost field, Asset Type (Governmental or Proprietary), Class and Sub-class codes are pulled from the asset master file for the Depreciation Schedule. It is vital that these key fields are accurate and tie to the fixed asset history records.

    Rent Expense Analysis for Companies in the S&P

    Rent Expense Analysis for Companies in the S&P 500 Executive Summary In this paper, Savills Studley analyzes rent expense for companies in the S&P 500. We explore trends by industry on both an individual company and aggregate basis. We find that while companies are largely spending more on rent in absolute dollar terms, rent expense as a percentage of total operating expense and revenue has fallen. How Much Do Companies Spend on Rent? A Look at Companies in the S&P 500 How much do companies spend on rent? Have companies’ changes in rent expenditures been commensurate with their change in revenue, and more broadly, headcount? Have companies’ occupancy costs fallen as a percentage of operating expenses? Rent Expense Analysis 2 for Companies in the S&P 500 To answer these questions, we drew from publicly available data for the S&P 500 and analyzed reported-rent expense.1 We evaluated data from the first full year of recovery post-recession (fiscal year 2010) alongside the most recent fiscal year (2016). In total, 397 companies spanning 9 different sectors were analyzed. (More detail on our methodology is included in the Appendix.) While we compared industry-aggregated data across just two points in time, we were able to make several meaningful conclusions about how companies have adjusted their rent expense in the context of their growth in revenue and employment. We caveat our findings by noting the limitations of the data: many companies lease not only their real estate, but also their equipment. Because rental expense is not broken down by type of asset, we were unable to distinguish between those expenses directly tied to occupancy costs and those that were not.
  • Cost of Goods Sold

    Cost of Goods Sold

    Cost of Goods Sold Inventory •Items purchased for the purpose of being sold to customers. The cost of the items purchased but not yet sold is reported in the resale inventory account or central storeroom inventory account. Inventory is reported as a current asset on the balance sheet. Inventory is a significant asset that needs to be monitored closely. Too much inventory can result in cash flow problems, additional expenses and losses if the items become obsolete. Too little inventory can result in lost sales and lost customers. Inventory is reported on the balance sheet at the amount paid to obtain (purchase) the items, not at its selling price. Cost of Goods Sold • Inventory management Involves regulation of the size of the investment in goods on hand, the types of goods carried in stock, and turnover rates. The investment in inventory should be kept at a minimum consistent with maintenance of adequate stocks of proper quality to meet sales demand. Increases or decreases in the inventory investment must be tested against the effect on profits and working capital. Standard levels of inventory should be established as adequate for a given volume of business, and stock control procedures applied so as to limit purchase as required. Such controls should not preclude volume purchase of nonperishable items when price advantages may be obtained under unusual circumstances. The rate of inventory turnover is a valuable test of merchandising efficiency and should be computed monthly Cost of Goods Sold • Inventory management All inventories are valued at cost which is defined as invoice price plus freight charges less discounts.

    14. Calculating Total Cash Flows

    Chapter 2 Lecture Problems 14. Calculating Total Cash Flows. Greene Co. shows the following information on its 2008 income statement: Sales = $138,000 Costs = $71,500 Other expenses = $4,100 Depreciation expense = $10,100 Interest expense = $7,900 Taxes = $17,760 Dividends = $5,400. In addition, you're told that the firm issued $2,500 in new equity during 2008, and redeemed $3,800 in outstanding long-term debt. a. What is the 2008 operating cash flow? b. What is the 2008 cash flow to creditors? c. What is the 2008 cash flow to stockholders? d. If net fixed assets increased by $17,400 during the year, what was the addition to NWC? a. To calculate the OCF, we first need to construct an income statement. The income statement starts with revenues and subtracts costs to arrive at EBIT. We then subtract out interest to get taxable income, and then subtract taxes to arrive at net income. Doing so, we get: Income Statement Sales $138,000 Costs 71,500 Other Expenses 4,100 Depreciation 10,100 EBIT $52,300 Interest 7,900 Taxable income $44,400 Taxes 17,760 Net income $26,640 Dividends $5,400 Addition to retained earnings 21,240 Page 1 Chapter 2 Lecture Problems Dividends paid plus addition to retained earnings must equal net income, so: Net income = Dividends + Addition to retained earnings Addition to retained earnings = $26,640 – 5,400 Addition to retained earnings = $21,240 So, the operating cash flow is: OCF = EBIT + Depreciation – Taxes OCF = $52,300 + 10,100 – 17,760 OCF = $44,640 b.

    Section 471.--General Rule for Inventories

    1 Part I Section 471.--General Rule for Inventories 26 CFR 1.471-3: Inventories at Cost. (Also '' 61; 111; 472; 1.472-2.) Rev. Rul. 2001-8 ISSUE What is the proper method of accounting for payments made or received with respect to “floor stocks”? BACKGROUND A floor stocks provision, which applies to a designated type of goods held in inventory (floor stocks) on a particular date (the “floor stocks date”), is sometimes enacted in conjunction with a tax, change in tax rate, or subsidy that is imposed upon similar goods purchased or produced on or after that date. The purpose of a floor stocks provision is to ensure that all goods sold on or after the floor stocks date are subjected to the same total amount of tax or subsidy, regardless of whether the items sold were goods held as floor stocks on the floor stocks date or goods purchased or produced after that date. This equal treatment is achieved by imposing with respect to goods held on the floor stocks date an amount, to be either paid or received, that will serve to eliminate any differential in total tax or subsidy that would otherwise exist relative to goods subsequently purchased or produced. The Internal Revenue Service, in two previous revenue rulings, has addressed the proper tax treatment of payments received with respect to floor stocks. Rev. Rul. 2 88-95, 1988-2 C.B. 28, and Rev. Rul. 85-30, 1985-1 C.B. 20, generally provide that payments received with respect to floor stocks should be treated as either an item of gross income or a reduction in inventory, depending on whether the cost of the goods to which the payments relate remains in ending inventory under the taxpayer’s cost flow assumption.
