Module 4 presents the analysis of financial statements with an emphasis on analysis of operating profitability. Module 11 details the process for preparing and analyzing the statement of cash flow. Module 12 explains forecasting financial statements and Module 13 introduces basic valuation models.
At the end of each module, we present an ongoing analysis project that can be used as a guide for an independent project. Like the rest of the book, the project is independent across modules. At the end of the book, we include several useful resources. Appendix A contains compound interest tables and formulas. Appendix B is a chart of accounts used in the book along with abbreviations. Instructors differ in their coverage of accounting mechanics.
Some focus on the effects of transactions on financial statements using the balance sheet equation format. We accommodate both teaching styles. Specifically, Module 2 provides an expanded discussion of the effects of transactions using our innovative financial statement effects template.
It illustrates accounting for numerous transactions, including those involving accounting adjustments. It concludes with the preparation of financial statements. These two modules accommodate the spectrum of teaching styles—instructors can elect to use either or both modules to suit their preferences, and their students are not deprived of any information as a result of that selection.
Many instructors have approached us to ask about suggested class structures based on courses of varying length. To that end, we provide the following table of common course designs. These skills often require application of ratio analyses, benchmarking, forecasting, valuation, and other aspects of financial statement analysis for decision making. This book, therefore, emphasizes real company data, including detailed footnote and other management disclosures, and shows how to use this information to make managerial inferences and decisions.
This approach makes financial accounting interesting and relevant for all MBA students. As MBA instructors, we recognize that the core MBA financial accounting course is not directed toward accounting majors. Financial Accounting for MBAs embraces this reality.
This book highlights financial reporting, analysis, interpretation, and decision making. We incorporate the following financial statement effects template to train MBA students in understanding the economic ramifications of transactions and their impact on financial statements. This analytical tool is a great resource for MBA students in learning accounting and applying it to their future courses and careers.
Then, the dollar amounts positive or negative of the financial statement effects are recorded in the appropriate balance sheet or income statement columns. The earned capital account is immediately updated to reflect any income or loss arising from each transaction denoted by the arrow line from net income to earned capital.
This template is instructive as it reveals the financial impacts of transactions, and it provides insights into the effects of accounting choices. The enhanced instructional value of focus companies comes from the way they engage MBA students in real analysis and interpretation. Focus companies were selected based on the industries that MBA students typically enter upon graduation.
We have gone to great lengths to incorporate real company data throughout each module to reinforce important concepts and engage MBA students. We engage nonaccounting MBA students specializing in finance, taxation, marketing, management, real estate, operations, and so forth, with companies and scenarios that are relevant to them. Consequently, we incorporate footnotes and other disclosures generously throughout the text and assignments.
The analysis framework includes disaggregation of ROE and application of several other key metrics. One primary goal of an MBA financial accounting course is to teach students the skills needed to apply their accounting knowledge to solving real business problems and making informed business decisions.
With that goal in mind, Managerial Decision boxes in each module encourage students to apply the material presented to solving actual business scenarios. Each module also includes Analysis Insight boxes that provide insight into data analysis techniques and models that financial analysts typically use. Financial accounting can be challenging—especially for MBA students lacking business experience or previous exposure to business courses.
To reinforce concepts presented in each module and to ensure student comprehension, we include reviews that require students to recall and apply the financial accounting techniques and concepts described in each section.
Students retain information longer if they can apply the lessons learned from the module content. We went to great lengths to create the best assignments possible from contemporary financial statements. In keeping with the rest of the book, we used real company data extensively. We also ensured that assignments reflect our belief that MBA students should be trained in analyzing accounting information to make business decisions, as opposed to working on mechanical bookkeeping tasks.

Module 4 opens with the traditional DuPont model as a simple, yet powerful, analysis framework. Later in Module 4, we disaggregate ROE into operating and nonoperating components as a natural extension of the traditional DuPont model. Later modules revisit the DuPont model, and text boxes throughout include deeper discussion of operating versus nonoperating activities. Later modules also discuss factors that affect operating performance and consider actions that managers can take to improve that performance.

A short summary of this paper. Identify the forms of business organization and the uses of accounting information.
Explain the three principal types of business activity. Describe the four financial statements, and how they are prepared. Simple 15—20 2A Identify users and uses of financial statements. Simple 15—20 3A Prepare an income statement, retained earnings Moderate 40—50 statement, and balance sheet; discuss results. The three basic forms of business organizations are 1 sole proprietorship, 2 partnership, and 3 corporation.
Advantages of a corporation are limited liability stockholders not being personally liable for cor- porate debts , easy transferability of ownership, and ease of raising funds. Disadvantages of a corporation are increased taxation and government regulations. Proprietorships and partnerships receive favorable tax treatment compared to corporations and are easier to form than corporations. They are also owner controlled. A person cannot earn a living, spend money, buy on credit, make an investment, or pay taxes without receiving, using, or dispensing financial information.
Accounting provides financial information to interested users through the preparation and distribution of financial statements. Internal users are managers who plan, organize, and run a business. To assist management, accounting provides timely internal reports. Examples include financial comparisons of operating alternatives, projections of income from new sales campaigns, forecasts of cash needs for the next year, and financial statements.
External users are those outside the business who have either a present or potential direct financial interest investors and creditors or an indirect financial interest taxing authorities, regu- latory agencies, labor unions, customers, and economic planners.
The three types of business activities are financing activities, investing activities, and operating activities. Financing activities include borrowing money and selling shares of stock. Investing activities include the purchase and sale of property, plant, and equipment.
Operating activities include selling goods, performing services, and purchasing inventory. When a company pays dividends, it reduces the amount of assets available to pay creditors. Net income does appear on the income statement—it is the result of subtracting expenses from revenues.
In addition, net income appears in the retained earnings statement—it is shown as an addition to the beginning-of-period retained earnings. Indirectly, the net income of a company is also included in the balance sheet. The primary purpose of the statement of cash flows is to provide financial information about the cash receipts and cash payments of a business for a specific period of time. The three categories of the statement of cash flows are operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.
The categories were chosen because they represent the three principal types of business activities. Retained earnings is the net income retained in a corporation. Retained earnings is increased by net income and is decreased by dividends and a net loss. Liabilities are amounts owed to creditors. Put more simply, liabilities are existing debts and obligations.
The liabilities are b Accounts payable and g Salaries and wages payable. An unqualified opinion shows that, in the opinion of an independent auditor, the financial state- ments have been presented fairly, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. This gives investors more confidence that they can rely on the figures reported in the financial statements. Information included in the notes to the financial statements clarifies information presented in the financial statements and includes descriptions of accounting policies, explanations of uncertain- ties and contingencies, and statistics and details too voluminous to be reported in the financial statements.
F b Cash paid to stockholders dividends. F c Cash received from issuing new common stock. O d Cash paid to suppliers.
I e Cash paid to purchase a new office building. BS b Supplies on hand at the end of the year. SCF c Cash received from issuing new bonds during the period.
BS d Total debts outstanding at the end of the period. Corporation c 6. Common stock d 7. Accounts payable e 3. Accounts receivable f 2. Creditor g 5. Stockholder h 4. Borrowing from a bank is common to all businesses. Payment of dividends is common to all corporations. Sale of bonds is common to large corporations. Investing Purchase and sale of property, plant, and equipment would be common to all businesses—the types of assets would vary according to the type of business and some types of businesses require a larger investment in long-lived assets.
A new business or expanding business would be more apt to acquire property, plant, and equipment while a mature or declining business would be more apt to sell it. Operating The general activities identified would be common to most businesses, although the service or product would differ.
If all other revenues and expenses remain unchanged, decreasing research and development expenses would produce Pharma- ceutical companies are usually able to charge higher prices for newly developed products while lower cost generic versions usually replace older products. Decreasing research and development activities will probably mean fewer new products.
This suggests that Lee is not pursuing rapid growth. Companies that have a lot of opportunities for growth pay low dividends. Instead it generates additional cash through financing activities. This is common for compa- nies in their early years of existence. The income statement reports all expenses in a single category rather than separating them into camping and general store expenses to correspond with revenues.
A break down into two categories would help me decide if the general store is generating a profit or loss. Even if the general store is operating at a loss, I might recommend retaining it if campers indicated that the convenience of having a general store on site was an important amenity in selecting a camp ground.
This amount more than covered its expenditures for new equipment but not both equipment purchases and dividends.
