The president of Jobe is anxious to get the chemical on the market because Jobe profits need a boostand his job is in jeopardy because of decreasing sales and profits. Jobe has an opportunity to sell this chemical in Central American countries, where the laws are much more relaxed than in the United States. The director of Jobe's R&D division strongly recommends further research in the laboratory to test the side effects of this chemical on other insects, birds, animals, plants, and even humans. He cautions the president, \"We could be sued from all sides if the chemical has tragic side effects that we didn't even test for in the lab.\" The president answers, \"We can't wait an additional year for your lab tests. We can avoid losses from such lawsuits by establishing a separate wholly owned corporation to shield Jobe Corp. from such lawsuits. We can't lose any more than our investment in the new corporation, and we'll invest just the patent covering this chemical. We'll reap the benefits if the chemical works and is safe, and avoid the losses from lawsuits if it's a disaster.\" The following week, Jobe creates a new wholly owned corporation called Windsor Inc., sells the chemical patent to it for $10, and watches the spraying begin.

(18) Ken Pember and Robyn Mays are examining the following statement of cash flows for Gilbert Company for the year ended January 31, 2014. GILBERT COMPANY Statement of Cash Flows For the Year Ended January 31, 2014 Sources of cash From sales of merchandise From sale of capital stock $385,000 405,000 From sale of investment (purchased below) 80,000 From depreciation 55,000 From issuance of note for truck 20,000 From interest on investments Total sources of cash 6,000 951,000 ------------- Uses of cash For purchase of fixtures and equipment 320,000 For merchandise purchased for resale 258,000 For operating expenses (including depreciation) For purchase of investment 170,000 75,000 For purchase of truck by issuance of note 20,000 For purchase of treasury stock 10,000 For interest on note payable 3,000 ---------- Total uses of cash 856,000 ------------- Net increase in cash $95,000 ------------- Ken claims that Gilbert's statement of cash flows is an excellent portrayal of a superb first year with cash increasing $95,000. Robyn replies that it was not a superb first year. Rather, she says, the year was an operating failure, that the statement is presented incorrectly, and that $95,000 is not the actual increase in cash. The cash balance at the beginning of the year was $140,000. Using the data provided, prepare a statement of cash flows in proper form using the indirect method. The only noncash items in the income statement are depreciation and the gain from the sale of the investment. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).) GILBERT COMPANY Statement of Cash Flows For the Year Ended January 31, 2014 (19) Jack Werth, the owner-president of Computer Services Company, is unfamiliar with the statement of cash flows that you, as his accountant, prepared. He asks for further explanation. Write him a brief memo explaining the form and content of the statement of cash flows. (20) Templeton Automotive Corp. is a medium-sized wholesaler of automotive parts. It has 10 stockholders who have been paid a total of $1 million in cash dividends for 8 consecutive years. The board's policy requires that, for this dividend to be declared, net cash provided by operating activities as reported in Templeton Automotive's current year's statement of cash flows must exceed $1 million. President and CEO Rick Hanigan's job is secure so long as he produces annual operating cash flows to support the usual dividend. At the end of the current year, controller Nick Korte presents president Rick Hanigan with some disappointing news. The net cash provided by operating activities is calculated by the indirect method to be only $970,000. The president says to Nick, \"We must get that amount above $1 million. Isn't there some way to increase operating cash flow by another $30,000?\" Nick answers, \"These figures were prepared by my assistant. I'll go back to my office and see what I can do.\" The president replies, \"I know you won't let me down, Nick.\" Upon close scrutiny of the statement of cash flows, Nick concludes that he can get the operating cash flows above $1 million by reclassifying a $60,000, 2-year note payable listed in the financing activities section as \"Proceeds from bank loan$60,000.\" He will report the note instead as \"Increase in payables $60,000\" and treat it as an adjustment of net income in the operating activities section. He returns to the president, saying, \"You can tell the board to declare their usual dividend. Our net cash flow provided by operating activities is $1,030,000.\" \"Good man, Nick! I knew I could count on you,\" exults the president. Who are the stakeholders in this situation? Was there anything unethical about the president's actions? Was there anything unethical about the controller's actions? Are the board members or anyone else likely to discover the misclassification? (21) In its draft 2014 income statement, Sunflower Corporation reports income before income taxes $461,700, extraordinary loss due to earthquake $180,900, income taxes $180,063 (not including irregular items), and loss on disposal of discontinued music division $24,900.

(29) Kelli Rice, president of LR Industries, wishes to issue a press release to bolster her company's image and maybe even its stock price, which has been gradually falling. As controller, you have been asked to provide a list of 20 financial ratios and other operating statistics for LR Industries' first-quarter financials and operations. Two days after you provide the data requested, Laurie Ellis, the public relations director of LR, asks you to prove the accuracy of the financial and operating data contained in the press release written by the president and edited by Laurie. In the news release, the president highlights the sales increase of 25% over last year's first quarter and the positive change in the current ratio from 1.5:1 last year to 3:1 this year. She also emphasizes that production was up 50% over the prior year's first quarter. You note that the release contains only positive or improved ratios and none of the negative or deteriorated ratios. For instance, no mention is made that the debt to assets ratio has increased from 35% to 55%, that inventories are up 89%, and that although the current ratio improved, the current cash debt coverage fell from .15 to .05. Nor is there any mention that the reported profit for the quarter would have been a loss had not the estimated lives of LR plant and machinery been increased by 30%. Laurie emphasized, \"The Pres wants this release by early this afternoon.\" Who are the stakeholders in this situation? Is there anything unethical in the president's actions? Should you as controller remain silent? Does Laurie have any responsibilityStep by Step Solution
