SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO EVEN-NUMBERED PROBLEMS

Chapter 1

2. Management is either foolish or thinks its board is. Earning $100 million on a $5 billion
equity investment is a return of 2 percent, which is below any reasonable cost of equity.
As a board member, I would vote to cut management’s compensation, not raise it. I
would also criticize them for apparently attempting to deceive the board.

4. a. Cash rises $500,000; plant and equipment falls $300,000; equity rises $200,000.
b. Net plant and equipment rises $80 million; Cash falls $32 million; Bank debt rises
$48 million.
c. Net plant and equipment rises $60 million; cash falls $60 million.
d. Cash falls $40,000; Accounts payable falls $40,000.
TO
e. Cash falls $240,000; Owners’ equity falls by $240,000 (via an increase in Treasury
stock).
f. Cash rises $80,000; Inventory falls; Accrued taxes, Owners’ equity, and possibly
other cost categories rise such that the algebraic sum equals $80,000.
g. Accounts receivable rise $120,000. Other categories change as described in part f.
h. Cash falls $50,000. Owners’ equity falls by $50,000 (via Retained earnings).

b. Insights:

i. R&E is making extensive use of trade credit to finance a buildup in current assets. The
increase in accounts payable equals almost three fourths of total sources of cash.
Increasing accounts receivable and inventories account for almost 90 percent of the
uses of cash.
ii. External long-term debt financing is a use of cash for R&E, meaning that it is repaying
its loans. A restructuring involving less reliance on accounts payable and more bank
debt appears appropriate.
TU
8. Accounting income will be the value of the parcels sold, less their original purchase
price. So if all parcels are sold, the income is 5 × $16 million + 5 × $8 million – $100
million = $20 million. Economic income will be the increase in the market value of the
land, whether sold or not, over the period. At the end of the first year, this will be $20
million. Answers to each part of the question appear below.
TO
Question Accounting Income Economic Income
a. $20 million $20 million
b. $0 $20 million
c. –$10 million $20 million
R
d. $30 million $20 million

e. Too many companies have tried this. If the market value of a piece of land falls, the
G
owner loses whether he sells or not. The market price of the land fell because people
thought the future income stream to the owners was worth less. Continuing to hold
the property forces the owner to accept the lower income. Whether the loss is
recognized or not might affect accounting earnings, but has nothing to do with
U
reality.

10. The accounting profits from Desmond’s brewery are expected to be $60,000. These
R
accounting profits do not include the implicit cost of the entrepreneur’s time.
Desmond’s time is worth at least $70,000, the current income he will have to forego to
manage the brewery. When these implicit opportunity costs are included income falls
U
to:

$250,000 – $190,000 – $70,000 = –$10,000

This new venture will clearly reduce Desmond’s income, not increase it.

12. a.

Company A B C
End-of-year
cash balance $150 million $30 million $120 million

b. It appears that company C retired more debt than it issued, repurchased more stock
than it issued, or some combination of the two.
c. I’d prefer to own company A. A appears to be a growing company as evidenced by
the sizable net cash used in investing activities, and its negative net cash flow from
TU
operations may well be due to increasing accounts receivable and inventories that
naturally accompany sales growth. Company B appears not to be growing, so its
negative net cash flows from operations are probably due to losses or to increasing
receivables and inventories relative to sales, a trend denoting poor management of
current assets.
TO
d. I don’t think there is necessarily any cause for concern. It appears company C is a
mature, slow-growth company that is returning its unneeded operating cash flows
to investors in the form of debt repayment, share repurchase, dividends, or some
combination of these. This is a perfectly viable strategy in the absence of attractive
investment opportunities.
