Author Letter Using Learning Science and Data Analytics We use data to make decisions and maximize performance. Like the runner on the cover who uses data to track her progress, we used stu- dent performance data to identify content areas that can be made more direct, concise, and systematic.
Learning science reveals that students do not read large chunks of text, so we streamlined this edition to present it in a more focused, succinct, blocked format to improve student learning and retention. Our new edition delivers the same content in 112 fewer pages. Visual aids and numer- ous videos offer additional learning aids. New summary Cheat Sheets conclude each chapter to visually reinforce key concepts and procedures.
Our new edition has over 1,500 videos to engage students and improve outcomes: • Concept Overview Videos—cover each chapter’s learning objectives with multimedia presentations that include Knowledge Checks to
engage students and assess comprehension. • Need-to-Know Demos—walk-through demonstrations of key procedures and analysis to ensure success with assignments and tests. • Guided Examples (Hints)—step-by-step walk-through of assignments that mimic Quick Studies, Exercises, and General Ledger.

Difference Makers in Teaching . . . Learning Science Learning analytics show that students learn better when material is broken into “blocks” of content. Each chapter opens with a visual preview. Learning objective numbers highlight the location of re- lated content. Each “block” of content concludes with a Need-to-Know (NTK) to aid and reinforce student learning. Visual aids and concise, bullet-point dis- cussions further help students learn.

New Revenue Recognition • Wild uses the popular gross method
for merchandising transactions (net method is covered in an appendix). The gross method is widely used in practice and best for student success.
• Adjusting entries for new revenue rec- ognition rules are included in an ap- pendix. Assignments are clearly marked and separated. Wild is GAAP compliant.
154 Chapter 4 Accounting for Merchandising Operations
Z-Mart’s Merchandise Inventory account at the end of the year has a balance of $21,250, but a physical count shows only $21,000 of inventory exists. The adjusting entry to record this $250 shrinkage is
Dec . 31 Cost of Goods Sold . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 250
Merchandise Inventory . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 250
Adjust for $250 shrinkage.
Assets = Liabilities + Equity −250 −250
Sales Discounts, Returns, and Allowances—Adjusting Entries Revenue recognition rules require sales to be reported at the amount expected to be received. This means that period-end adjusting entries are commonly made for Expected sales discounts. Expected returns and allowances (revenue side). Expected returns and allowances (cost side).
These three adjustments produce three new accounts: Allowance for Sales Discounts, Sales Refund Payable, and Inventory Returns Estimated. Appendix 4B covers these accounts and the adjusting entries.
Preparing Financial Statements The financial statements of a merchandiser are similar to those for a service company described in prior chapters. The income statement mainly differs by the addition of cost of goods sold and gross profit. Net sales is affected by discounts, returns and allowances, and some additional expenses such as delivery expense and loss from defective merchandise. The balance sheet dif- fers by the addition of merchandise inventory as part of current assets. (Appendix 4B explains inventory returns estimated as part of current assets and sales refund payable as part of current liabilities.) The statement of retained earnings is unchanged.
Closing Entries for Merchandisers Closing entries are similar for service companies and merchandising companies. The difference is that we close some new temporary accounts that come from merchandising activities. Z-Mart has temporary accounts unique to merchandisers: Sales (of goods), Sales Discounts, Sales Returns and Allowances, and Cost of Goods Sold. The third and fourth closing entries are identical for a mer- chandiser and a service company. The differences are in red in the closing entries of Exhibit 4.11.

Up-to-Date This book reflects changes in accounting for revenue recognition, investments, leases, and extraordinary items. It is important that students learn GAAP accounting.
Less Is More Wild has markedly fewer pages than competing books covering the same material. • The text is to the point and uses visuals to aid student learning. • Bullet-point discussions and active writing aid learning. • The 8th edition has 112 fewer pages than the 7th edition—a 10% reduction!
Visual Learning • Learning analytics tell us to-
day’s students do not read large blocks of text. Wild has adapted to student needs by having in- formative visual aids through- out. Many visuals and exhibits are new to this edition.

Chapter 7 Accounting for Receivables 277
Recovering a Bad Debt If an account that was written off is later collected, two en- tries are made. The first is to reverse the write-off and reinstate the customer’s account. The second is to record the collection of the reinstated account. If on March 11 Kent pays in full his account previously written off, the entries are

Kent paid the entire amount previously written off, but sometimes a customer pays only a por- tion. If we believe this customer will later pay in full, we return the entire amount owed to accounts receivable (in the first entry only). If we expect no further collection, we return only the amount paid.
A retailer uses the allowance method. Record the following transactions.
Dec. 31 The retailer estimates $3,000 of its accounts receivable are uncollectible at its year-end. Feb. 14 The retailer determines that it cannot collect $400 of its accounts receivable from a customer
named ZZZ Company. Apr. 1 ZZZ Company unexpectedly pays its account in full to the retailer, which then records its
recovery of this bad debt.

as representing one sales dollar, the remaining items show how each revenue dollar is distrib- uted among costs, expenses, and income.
Exhibit 13.9 shows common-size comparative income statements for each dollar of Apple’s net sales. The past two years’ common-size numbers are similar with two exceptions. One is the increase of 0.4 cents in research and development costs, which can be a positive development if these costs lead to future revenues. Another is the increase in cost of sales of 0.6 cent and increase in selling, general and administrative costs of 0.1 cent. We must monitor the growth in these expenses.
Common-Size Graphics Exhibit 13.10 is a graphic of Apple’s current-year common-size income statement. This pie chart shows the contribution of each cost component of net sales for net income.
Exhibit 13.11 takes data from Apple’s Segments footnote. The exhibit shows the level of net sales for each of Apple’s five operating seg- ments. Its Americas segment gener-
ates $96.6 billion net sales, which is roughly 42% of its total sales. Within each bar is that segment’s operating income margin (Operating income/Segment net sales). The Americas seg- ment has a 32% operating income margin. This type of graphic can raise questions about the profitability of each segment and lead to discussion of further expansions into more profitable segments. For example, the Japan segment has an operating margin of 46%. A natural question for management is what potential is there to expand sales into the Japan segment and maintain

Difference Makers in Teaching . . . Driving Decisions Whether we prepare, analyze, or apply accounting infor- mation, one skill remains essential: decision making. To help develop good decision-making habits and to show the relevance of accounting, we use a learning framework. • Decision Insight provides context for business decisions. • Decision Ethics and Decision Maker are role-playing
scenarios that show the relevance of accounting. • Decision Analysis provides key tools to assess company
performance.
260 Chapter 7 Accounting Information Systems
The five components of accounting systems are source documents, input devices, information processors, information storage, and output devices. These components apply whether a system is computerized or manual. Exhibit 7.2 shows these components.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS Point: Computerized systems provide more accuracy and speed than manual.

EXHIBIT 7.2 Accounting System Components
Source Documents Source documents provide the information processed by an ac- counting system. Examples include bank statements and checks, invoices from suppliers, cus- tomer bills, sales receipts, and employee earnings records. Accurate source documents are crucial to accounting information systems. Input of wrong information damages the reliability of the information system.
Input Devices Input devices take information from source documents and transfer it to information processing. These devices convert data on source documents to a form usable by the system. Journal entries are a type of input device. Keyboards and scanners are the most com- mon input devices in business.
Information Processors Information processors summarize information for use in analysis and reporting. An information processor includes journals, ledgers, working papers, and posting procedures. Each assists in transforming raw data to useful information.
Information Storage Information storage keeps data accessible to information pro- cessors. After being input and processed, data are stored for use in future analyses and reports. Auditors rely on this database when they audit both financial statements and a company’s con- trols. Modern systems depend increasingly on cloud storage.
Output Devices Output devices make accounting information available to users. Common output devices are printers, monitors, and smartphones. Output devices provide users a variety of items including customer bills, financial statements, and internal reports.
Point: Control procedures limit the possibility of entering wrong data.
Point: Controls ensure that only authorized individuals input data into the system.

System’s Fine Print Nintendo’s stock increased greatly after the huge success of Pokémon Go. However, few investors read Nintendo’s disclosures that said it owned less than one-third of the company that developed the app. When investors realized this, the stock dropped 17%, representing over $6 billion in value. ■

the benefits of producing a specific report must outweigh the costs of time and effort to produce that report. Decisions regarding other system principles (control, relevance, compatibility, and flexibility) are also affected by the cost-benefit principle.

When a buyer is responsible for paying transportation costs, the payment is made to a carrier or directly to the seller. The cost principle requires that transportation costs of a buyer (often called transportation-in or freight-in) be part of the cost of merchandise inventory.

When a seller is responsible for paying shipping costs, it records these costs in a Delivery Expense account. Delivery expense, also called transportation-out or freight-out, is reported as a selling expense in the seller’s income statement.
Itemized Costs of Purchases In summary, purchases are recorded as debits to Merchandise Inventory (or Inventory). Purchases discounts, returns, and allowances are credited to (subtracted from) Merchandise Inventory. Transportation-in is debited (added) to Merchandise Inventory. Z-Mart’s itemized costs of merchandise purchases for the year are in Exhibit 5.8.
The accounting system described here does not provide separate records (accounts) for total purchases, total pur- chases discounts, total purchases returns and allowances, and total transportation-in. Many companies collect this information in supple- mentary records to evaluate these costs. Supplementary records, or supplemental records, refer to information outside the usual ledger accounts.
Point: INcoming freight costs are charged to INventory. When inventory EXits, freight costs are charged to EXpense.

EXHIBIT 5.8 Itemized Costs of Merchandise Purchases
Point: Some companies have separate accounts for purchases discounts, returns and allowances, and transportation-in. These accounts are then transferred to Merchandise Inventory at period- end. This is a hybrid system of perpetual and periodic. That is, Merchandise Inventory is updated on a perpetual basis but only for purchases and cost of goods sold.
Payables Manager As a new accounts payable manager, you are being trained by the outgoing manager. She explains that the system prepares checks for amounts net of favorable cash discounts, and the checks are dated the last day of the discount period. She tells you that checks are not mailed until five days later, adding that “the company gets free use of cash for an extra five days, and our department looks better.” Do you continue this policy? ■ Answer: One point of view is that the late payment policy is unethical. A deliberate plan to make late payments means the company lies when it pretends to make payment within the discount period. Another view is that the late payment policy is acceptable. Some believe attempts to take discounts through late payments are accepted as “price negotiation.”
Decision Ethics
Prepare journal entries to record each of the following purchases transactions of a merchandising com- pany. Assume a perpetual inventory system using the gross method for recording purchases.
Oct. 1 Purchased $1,000 of goods. Terms of the sale are 4∕10, n∕30, and FOB shipping point; the in- voice is dated October 1.
3 Paid $30 cash for freight charges from UPS for the October 1 purchase. 7 Returned $50 of the $1,000 of goods from the October 1 purchase and received full credit. 11 Paid the amount due from the October 1 purchase (less the return on October 7). 31 Assume the October 11 payment was never made. Instead, payment of the amount due, less the
return on October 7, occurred on October 31.

sheet lists its assets: cash, supplies, prepaid insurance, and equipment. The upper right side of the balance sheet shows that it owes $6,200 to creditors and $3,000 in services to customers who paid in advance. The equity section shows an ending capital balance of $33,195. Note the link between the ending balance of the statement of owner’s equity and the capital balance. (This presentation of the balance sheet is called the account form: assets on the left and liabili- ties and equity on the right. Another presentation is the report form: assets on top, followed by liabilities and then equity. Either presentation is acceptable.)
Entrepreneur You open a wholesale business selling entertainment equipment to retail outlets. Most of your cus- tomers want to buy on credit. How can you use the balance sheets of customers to decide which ones to extend credit to? ■ Answer: We use the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) to identify risky customers to whom we would not want to extend credit. A balance sheet provides amounts for each of these key components. The lower a customer’s equity is relative to liabilities, the less likely you would be to extend credit. A low equity means the business already has many creditor claims to it.

Presentation Issues Dollar signs are not used in journals and ledgers. They do appear in financial statements and other reports such as trial balances. We usually put dollar signs be- side only the first and last numbers in a column. Apple’s financial statements in Appendix A show this. Companies commonly round amounts in reports to the nearest dollar, or even to a higher level. Apple, like many large companies, rounds its financial statement amounts to the nearest million. This decision is based on the impact of rounding for users’ decisions.
Prepare a trial balance for Apple using the following condensed data from its recent fiscal year ended September 30 ($ in millions).

It is important to assess a company’s risk of failing to pay its debts. Companies finance their assets with either liabilities or equity. A company that finances a relatively large portion of its assets with liabilities is said to have higher financial leverage. Higher financial leverage means greater risk because liabilities must be repaid and often require regular interest payments (equity financing does not). One measure of the risk associated with liabilities is the debt ratio as defined in Exhibit 2.17.
Costco’s total liabilities, total assets, and debt ratio for the past three years are shown in Exhibit 2.18. Costco’s debt ratio ranges from a low of 0.63 to a high of 0.70. Its ratio exceeds Walmart’s in each of the last three years, suggesting a higher than average risk from financial leverage. So, is financial leverage good or bad for Costco? The answer: If Costco is making more money with this debt than it is paying the lenders, then it is successfully borrowing money to make more money. A company’s use of debt can turn unprofitable quickly if its return from that money drops below the rate it is paying lenders.
This problem extends Need-To-Know 1-6 from Chapter 1: Jasmine Worthy started a haircutting business called Expressions. The following events occurred during its first month. a. Aug. 1 Worthy invested $3,000 cash and $15,000 of equipment in Expressions. b. 2 Expressions paid $600 cash for furniture for the shop. c. 3 Expressions paid $500 cash to rent space in a strip mall for August. d. 4 Expressions purchased $1,200 of equipment on credit for the shop (recorded as accounts
payable). e. 15 Expressions opened for business on August 5. Cash received from haircutting services in the
first week and a half of business (ended August 15) was $825. f. 16 Expressions provided $100 of haircutting services on account. g. 17 Expressions received a $100 check for services previously rendered on account. h. 18 Expressions paid $125 to an assistant for hours worked for the grand opening. i. 31 Cash received from services provided during the second half of August was $930. j. 31 Expressions paid $400 cash toward the account payable entered into on August 4. k. 31 Worthy made a $900 cash withdrawal from the company for personal use.

Investor You consider buying stock in Converse. As part of your analysis, you compute the company’s debt ratio for 2017, 2018, and 2019 as 0.35, 0.74, and 0.94, respectively. Based on the debt ratio, is Converse a low-risk investment? Has the risk of buying Converse stock changed over this period? (The industry debt ratio averages 0.40.) ■ Answer: The debt ratio suggests that Converse’s stock is of higher risk than normal and that this risk is rising. The average industry ratio of 0.40 supports this conclusion. The 2019 debt ratio for Converse is twice the industry norm. Also, a debt ratio approaching 1.0 indicates little to no equity.

Exhibit 13.9 shows common-size comparative income statements for each dollar of Apple’s net sales. The past two years’ common-size numbers are similar with two exceptions. One is the increase of 0.4 cents in research and development costs, which can be a positive development if these costs lead to future revenues. Another is the increase in cost of sales of 0.6 cent and increase in selling, general and administrative costs of 0.1 cent. We must monitor the growth in these expenses.

Exhibit 13.11 takes data from Apple’s Segments footnote. The exhibit shows the level of net sales for each of Apple’s five operating seg- ments. Its Americas segment gener-
ates $96.6 billion net sales, which is roughly 42% of its total sales. Within each bar is that segment’s operating income margin (Operating income/Segment net sales). The Americas seg- ment has a 32% operating income margin. This type of graphic can raise questions about the profitability of each segment and lead to discussion of further expansions into more profitable segments. For example, the Japan segment has an operating margin of 46%. A natural question for management is what potential is there to expand sales into the Japan segment and maintain

Doing What’s Right Companies increasingly issue sustainability reports, and accountants are being asked to prepare, analyze, and audit them. Wild includes brief sections in the managerial chapters. This material focuses on the importance of sustainability within the context of accounting, including standards from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). Sustainability assign- ments cover chapter material with a social responsibility twist.
Chapter 18 Managerial Accounting Concepts and Principles 667
Value Chain The value chain refers to the series of activities that add value to a company’s products or services. Exhibit 18.18 illustrates a possible value chain for a retail cookie company. Companies can use lean practices across the value chain to increase efficiency and profits.
Acquire raw materials Baking Sales Service
EXHIBIT 18.18 Typical Value Chain (cookie retailer)
How Lean Principles Impact the Value Chain Adopting lean principles can be challenging because systems and procedures that a company follows must be realigned. Managerial account- ing has an important role in providing accurate cost and performance information. Developing such a system is important to measuring the “value” provided to customers. The price that cus- tomers pay for acquiring goods and services is a key determinant of value. In turn, the costs a company incurs are key determinants of price.
Corporate Social Responsibility In addition to maximizing shareholder value, cor- porations must consider the demands of other stakeholders, including employees, suppliers, and society in general. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept that goes beyond fol- lowing the law. For example, to reduce its impact on the environment, Three Twins Ice Cream uses only cups and spoons made from organic ingredients. United By Blue, an apparel and jewelry company, removes one pound of trash from waterways for every product sold. Many companies extend the concept of CSR to include sustainability, which considers fu- ture generations when making business decisions.
Triple Bottom Line Triple bottom line focuses on three measures: financial (“profits”), social (“people”), and environmental (“planet”). Adopting a triple bottom line impacts how businesses report. In response to a growing trend of such reporting, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) was established to develop report- ing standards for businesses’ sustainability activities. Some of the business sectors for which the SASB has developed reporting standards include health care, nonrenewable re- sources, and renewable resources and alternative energy.
Point: Companies like Microsoft, Google, and Walt Disney, ranked at the top of large multinational companies in terms of CSR, disclose CSR results on their websites.

Triple Bottom Line
Balanced Scorecard The balanced scorecard aids continuous improvement by augmenting financial measures with information on the “drivers” (indicators) of future financial performance along four dimensions: (1) financial—profitabil- ity and risk, (2) customer—value creation and product and service differentiation, (3) internal business processes— business activities that create customer and owner satisfaction, and (4) learning and growth— organizational change, innovation, and growth. ■
Decision Insight
In creating sustainability accounting standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) has created reporting guidelines. The SASB considers sustainability information as material if its disclosure would affect the views of equity investors on a company’s financial condition or operating performance.
Material information can vary across industries; for example, while environmental “planet” issues such as air quality, wastewater management, and biodiversity impacts are important for investments in companies in the nonrenewable resources sectors, such issues are likely not as important for investments in banks. In contrast, “people” issues such as diversity and inclusion, fair labor practices, and employee health are considered material for most sectors, particularly those that use considerable direct labor.
