The following 3 ratios have been computed using the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, for CR Company:
The following additional information has been assembled:
Show how the values for the 3 ratios computed above differ if CR had used LIFO, depreciated the asset over 12 years, and recognized the full amount of its environmental cleanup obligation. Compute how the financial statements would differ if the alternative accounting methods had been used. Do not treat the use of these alternative methods as accounting changes. Ignore any income tax effects.
Adjustments:
(a)Using LIFO:
Ending inventory decreases by $15,500 ($43,000 - $58,500).
Net income for 2011 decreases by $3,500 [($43,000 - $58,500) - ($36,000 - $48,000)].
Beginning retained earnings decreases by $12,000 ($36,000 - $48,000).
(b)12-year useful life:
Book value at December 31, 2008:
7-year life: $120,000 - [($120,000 ¸ 7) ´ 4 years] = $51,429
12-year life: $120,000 - [($120,000 ¸ 12) ´ 4 years] = $80,000
Book value increases by $28,571 ($51,429 - $80,000).
Net income for 2011 increases by $7,143 [($120,000 ¸ 7) - ($120,000 ¸ 12)]
Beginning retained earnings increases by $21,428 [($120,000 ¸ 7) ´ 3 years] - [($120,000 ¸ 12) ´ 3 years].
(c)Environmental cleanup obligation:
Net income for 2011 decreases by $17,100 [($18,000 ´ .05) - $18,000].
Environmental cleanup obligation increases by $17,100.
Adjusted current ratio: ($80,000 - $15,500) ¸ $43,000 = 1.5
Adjusted debt-to-equity ratio: ($110,000 + $17,100) ¸ ($125,000 - $3,500 - $12,000 + $7,143 + $21,428 - $17,100) = 1.05
Adjusted return on sales ratio: ($45,000 - $3,500 + $7,143 - $17,100) ¸ $400,000 = 0.079
