            For years ending January 31                                2000                  1999
Sales                                                                            $ 37,028             $ 35,925

Selling, general, and administrative expenses                    (7,415)                (6,514)
Operating income (loss)                                                  $ (45)                 $ 1,300

a. Prepare a horizontal analysis for the income statement showing the amount and percent
of change in each of the following:
1. Sales
2. Cost of sales
3. Selling, general, and administrative expenses
4. Operating income (loss)
b. Comment on the results of your horizontal analysis in part (a).

Answer:
a.
                                                        KMART CORPORATION
                                                              Income Statement
                                     For the Years Ended January 31, 2000 and 1999
                                                                   (in millions)
                                                                                                     Increase       (Decrease)
                                                        2000              1999                Amount         Percent
1. Sales.....................................   $ 37,028         $ 35,925            $ 1,103             3.1%
2. Cost of sales........................     (29,658)          (28,111)              1,547              5.5
3. Selling, general, and
 administrative expenses.....            (7,415)            (6,514)                901                13.8
4. Operating income (loss)
 before taxes.........................          $ (45)            $ 1,300              $(1,345)          (103.5)

b. The horizontal analysis of Kmart Corporation reveals deteriorating operating
results from 1999 to 2000. While sales increased by $1,103 million, a 3.1% increase, cost of sales increased by $1,547 million, a 5.5% increase. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also increased by $901 million, a 13.8% increase. The end result was that operating income decreased by $1,345 million, over a 100% decrease, and created a $45 million loss in 2000. Little over a year later, Kmart filed for bankruptcy protection. It has now emerged from bankruptcy and was merged into Sears to form the company Sears Holding Corporation.

EX 2-23 Horizontal analysis of income statement

The following data (in millions) is taken from the financial statements of Target
Corporation.
                                                                                     2009                2008
                                   Net sales (revenues)                $64,948            $63,367
                                  Total operating expenses            60,546              58,095
a. For Target Corporation, comparing 2009 with 2008, determine the amount of change
in millions and the percent of change for:
      1. Net sales (revenues)
       2. Total operating expenses
b. What conclusions can you draw from your analysis of the net sales and the
total operating expenses?

Answer:
a. 1.      Net sales: $1,581 million increase ($64,948 – $63,367)
                             2.5% increase ($1,581 ÷ $63,367)
 2.         Total operating
              expenses: $2,451 million increase ($60,546 – $58,095)
                               4.2% increase ($2,451 ÷ $58,095)

b. During 2009, the percentage increase in total operating expenses (4.2%) is
more than the percentage increase in net sales (2.5%), an unfavorable trend.

Answer:
1. The Debit column total is added incorrectly. The sum is $583,500 rather than
$916,500.
2. The trial balance should be dated “August 31, 2012,” not “For the Month Ending August 31, 2012.”
3. The Accounts Receivable balance should be in the Debit column. 
4. The Accounts Payable balance should be in the Credit column. 
5. The Ken Frye, Drawing, balance should be in the Debit column. 
6. The Advertising Expense balance should be in the Debit column. 
 
 A corrected trial balance would be as follows:

EX 2-17 Effect of errors on trial balance

Indicate which of the following errors, each considered individually, would cause the
trial balance totals to be unequal:
a. A fee of $15,000 earned and due from a client was not debited to Accounts Receivable
or credited to a revenue account, because the cash had not been received.
b. A receipt of $6,000 from an account receivable was journalized and posted as a debit
of $6,000 to Cash and a credit of $6,000 to Fees Earned.
c. A payment of $1,200 to a creditor was posted as a debit of $1,200 to Accounts Payable
and a debit of $1,200 to Cash.
d. A payment of $10,000 for equipment purchased was posted as a debit of $1,000 to
Equipment and a credit of $1,000 to Cash.
e. Payment of a cash withdrawal of $10,000 was journalized and posted as a debit of
$1,000 to Salary Expense and a credit of $10,000 to Cash.
Indicate which of the preceding errors would require a correcting entry.

Answer:
Inequality of trial balance totals would be caused by errors described in (c) and
(e). For (c), the debit total would exceed the credit total by $2,400 ($1,200 +
$1,200). For (e), the credit total would exceed the debit total by $9,000 ($10,000 –
$1,000).

Errors (b), (d), and (e) would require correcting entries.

at December 31 balance? Explain.

Answer:
a. Debit (negative) balance of $12,000 ($125,000-$7,000-$130,000). This negative balance means that the liabilities of Cikan's business exceed the assets.
b. Yes. The balance sheet prepared at December 31 will balance, with Brenda
Cikan, Capital, being reported in the owner’s equity section as a negative
$12,000.

EX 2-11 Account balances

a. During October, $90,000 was paid to creditors on account, and purchases on account
were $125,000. Assuming the October 31 balance of Accounts Payable was $40,000,
determine the account balance on October 1.
b. On May 1, the accounts receivable account balance was $25,000. During May, $240,000
was collected from customers on account. Assuming the May 31 balance was $36,000,
determine the fees billed to customers on account during May.

c. On November 1, the cash account balance was $18,275. During November, cash
receipts totaled $279,100 and the November 30 balance was $13,200. Determine the
cash payments made during November.

                               90,000                        125,000
                                                 Oct. 31       40,000

 X + $125,000 – $90,000 = $40,000
 X = $40,000 + $90,000 – $125,000
 X = $5,000

b.
                                   Accounts Receivable
           May 1              25,000                       240,000
                                           X
           May 31            36,000

 $25,000 + X – $240,000 = $36,000
 X = $36,000 + $240,000 – $25,000
 X = $251,000

c.
                                            Cash
          Nov. 1               18,275                          X

          Nov. 30             13,200

 $18,275 + $279,100 – X = $13,200
 X = $18,275 + $279,100 – $13,200
 X = $284,175

EX 2-10 Cash account balance

During the month, Lathers Co. received $400,000 in cash and paid out $290,000 in cash.
a. Do the data indicate that Lathers Co. had net income of $110,000 during the month? Explain.
b. If the balance of the cash account is $185,000 at the end of the month, what was the cash balance at the beginning of the month?

Answer:
a. The increase of $110,000 ($400,000 – $290,000) in the cash account does not 
indicate net income of that amount. Net income is the net change in all assets 
and liabilities from operating (revenue and expense) transactions. 
b. $75,000 ($185,000 – $110,000)
