ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. (a) The operating cycle is the time it takes to go from cash to cash in producing
revenues.
(b) The normal operating cycle for a merchandising company is likely to be longer than
that of a service company because in a merchandising company inventory must first
be purchased and sold, and then the receivables must be collected whereas in a
service company the services only need to be provided (not purchased first and
then stored until sold) and then the receivables must be collected.
2. (a) The income measurement process of a merchandising company is the same as the
service company in that profit is arrived at by deducting expenses from revenues.
(b) The income measurement process of a merchandising company differs from that of
a service company in that its revenue is derived from sales revenue, not service
revenue. In addition, cost of goods sold is deducted from sales revenue to
determine gross profit, before operating and other expenses similar to both types of
companies are deducted (or other revenues are added).
3. The company needs to compare the cost of the detailed record keeping required in a
perpetual inventory system to the benefits of having the additional information about the
inventory. One of the benefits of a perpetual inventory system is the ability to answer
questions from customers about merchandise availability. In a used clothing business,
this may not be of much benefit unless each inventory item is unique. Another benefit is
the monitoring of inventory quantities in order to avoid running out of stock. Again, this
may not be of benefit since the company does not order recurring or similar
merchandise, and may not have a supplier to order from. But if the company is selling
used clothing on consignment it will need to track each item in order to determine which
consignor to pay when an item is sold.
The company should carefully determine the cost of the detailed record keeping
required, in particular for a new company. A perpetual inventory system requires more
record keeping and therefore is more expensive to use. For example, a perpetual
inventory system usually requires an investment in a point of sale system that is
integrated with the inventory system.
4. A physical count is an important control feature. By using a perpetual inventory system,

a company knows what should be on hand. Performing a physical count and checking it
to the perpetual records is necessary to detect any errors in record keeping and/or
shortages in stock.
5. The reason for recording the purchase of merchandise for resale in a separate account
is to enable a company to determine its cost of goods sold and gross profit. This
information is useful in managing costs and setting prices.

Answers to Questions (Continued)

6. (a) The value of the purchase discount to Butler Roofing is $100.00 ($10,000 × 1%).
(b) Failing to take advantage of the discount terms, is like paying the supplier an extra
$100 in order to settle a $9,900 invoice 20 days later. This works out to 1.01% [$100
÷ $9,900] every 20 days. On an annual basis this amounts to 18.4% [($100 ÷
$9,900 × (365 ÷ 20)].
7. The company should record the sale as revenue in June, when it is sold to a customer.
The merchandise purchased should be recorded as an asset, merchandise inventory, in
April. It should be recorded as cost of goods sold (an expense) in June when the
inventory is sold and the revenue is recognized. This is necessary in order to match the
cost with the related revenue.
8. (a) FOB shipping point means that the goods are placed free on board by the seller at
the point of shipping. The buyer pays the freight costs from the point of shipping to
the buyer’s destination because title passes at shipping point. FOB destination
means the goods are delivered by the seller to their destination where the title
passes. The seller pays for shipping to the buyer’s destination.
(b) FOB shipping point will result in a debit to the Merchandise Inventory account by the
buyer because title has transferred at shipping point and the inventory is now owned
by the buyer. FOB destination will result in a debit to Freight Out by the seller
because they are paying for the freight.
9. In a perpetual inventory system, purchase returns are credited to the Merchandise

Inventory because the items purchased have been returned to the vendor and are no
longer available to be sold to customers. Sales returns are not debited directly to the
Sales account because this would not provide information about the goods returned.
This information can be useful in making decisions. Debiting returns directly to sales
may also cause problems in comparing sales for different periods.
10. (a) A quantity discount gives a reduction in the price according to the volume of the
purchase. A purchase discount is offered by a seller to a buyer for early payment of
an invoice. When the buyer pays the invoice within the discount period, the amount
of the discount decreases the Merchandise Inventory account. A sales discount is
the same as a purchase discount but from the seller’s point of view.
(b) Quantity discounts are not recorded or accounted for separately but become part of
the recorded sales price. When collected within the discount period, the seller
records the discount as a debit to the Sales Discounts account, which is a contra
revenue account to Sales. Buyers record purchase discounts when taken as a credit
to Merchandise Inventory under the perpetual system or Purchase Discounts when
using the periodic system.


11. If the inventory is not resaleable, it cannot be included in inventory since it cannot be
resold and it has no value. The cost remains in cost of goods sold since it is a cost of
doing business. If the inventory is resaleable, it still has value to the company. In this
case, the inventory is debited to inventory again and the cost of goods sold is credited.
12. By shipping more product than was ordered, customers will be annoyed with Agnew
Inc. and there will be damage done to customer relationships. Goods that are returned
will cost additional freight charges. Annoyed customers could possibly refuse the
whole order which will result in a lost sale. It is not an ethical tactic to implement this
procedure as the objective is obviously to manipulate sales results and boost profit in
the current year.
13. In a single-step income statement, all data are classified into two categories: (1)
revenues and (2) expenses. It is referred to as a single-step income statement
because only a single step—subtracting expenses from revenues—is needed to
determine profit before income tax. A multiple-step income statement requires several
steps to determine profit before income tax. First, cost of goods sold is deducted from
sales to determine gross profit. Operating expenses are then deducted to calculate
profit from operations. Finally, other revenues and expenses are added or deducted to
determine profit before income tax. The deduction of income tax to calculate profit
(loss) is the same under both formats. In addition, both formats produce the same
profit amount for the period.
14. Shoppers Drug Mart uses a multiple-step income statement.
15. (a) When classifying expenses by their nature, they are reported in accordance with
their natural classification (for example, salaries, deprecation, and so on). When
classifying expenses by their function, they are reported according to the activity
(business function) for which they were incurred (for example, cost of goods sold,
administrative, selling).
(b) It does not matter whether a single-step or multiple-step income statement is

prepared, expenses must be classified either by nature or by function.
16. Because the Katz Group is a private enterprise, it can follow Accounting Standards for
Private Enterprises (ASPE). Companies following ASPE can classify their expenses in
whatever manner is useful to them. Shoppers, which follows IFRS must classify its
expenses by their nature or their function.
17. Interest expense is a non-operating expense because it relates to how a company’s

operations are financed. This is not always within the company’s control and is usually
not a decision of the general manager but of the chief financial officer.


18. The difference between gross profit margin and profit margin is that the gross profit
margin measures the amount by which the selling price exceeds the cost of goods sold
while the profit margin measures the extent to which sales cover all expenses
(including the cost of goods sold).
19. Factors affecting a company’s gross profit margin include the selling price and the cost
of the merchandise. Recall that gross profit = net sales − cost of goods sold. Selling
products with a higher price or “mark-up” or selling products with a lower cost would
result in an increased gross profit margin. Selling products with a lower price (perhaps
dues to increased competition that results in lower selling prices) or selling products
with a higher cost (perhaps due to price increases from suppliers and shippers) would
result in a lower gross profit margin.

*22. Periodic System
Cost of Goods Sold = Beginning Inventory + Cost of Goods Purchased (Purchases –

Purchase Discounts – Purchase Returns and Allowances + Freight In) – Ending
Inventory
Ending inventory as well as cost of goods sold for the period, is calculated at the end
of period.
Perpetual System
Cost of Goods Sold = the cost of the item(s) sold
Cost of goods sold is calculated at the time of each sale and recorded as an increase
(debit) to the Cost of Goods Sold account and a decrease (credit) to the Merchandise
Inventory account.


*23. The calculation of cost of goods sold is shown in detail in the income statement of a
company using the periodic system. In a perpetual system, it is one line and amount
only.
Periodic System
Cost of Goods Sold =

1. Add the cost of goods purchased (where the cost of goods purchased is equal to
purchases less purchases discounts and purchases returns and allowances plus
freight in) to the cost of goods on hand at the beginning of the period (beginning
inventory). The result is the cost of goods available for sale.
2. Subtract the cost of goods on hand at the end of the period (ending inventory) from
the cost of goods available for sale. The result is the cost of goods sold.
Perpetual System
Cost of Goods Sold = one number, which is the total of cost of goods sold as
previously determined and recorded for all sales.

SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES
BRIEF EXERCISE 5-1

(a) The company with the most efficient operating cycle is Company A as it uses the
fewest number of days in its cycle to obtain cash.
(b) The company which is most likely a service company is Company A as it does not
have to manufacture or deliver inventory and consequently takes the fewest number of
days to obtain cash. Company C, with the highest number of days in its operating
cycle is likely the manufacturing company and the merchandising company would be
in the middle (Company B) with neither the highest nor the lowest number of days in its
operating cycle.
BRIEF EXERCISE 5-2

(a)
[1] Profit before tax = $100 – $65 = $35
[2] Profit = $35 (from [1]) – $9 = $26
[3] Cost of goods sold = $100 – $60 = $40
[4] Operating expenses = $60 – $35 = $25
[5] Income tax expense = $35 – $26 = $9
(b) Company A is the service company, since it has no cost of goods sold. Company B is
the merchandising company, since it has cost of goods sold.

(b) The Modder Corporation’s gross profit margin increased significantly in 2015 indicating
an increase in the percentage mark-up, or a reduction in the cost of goods sold, or
both. On the other hand, in 2015, the company’s profit margin had dropped
significantly. The decrease in profit margin indicates that in spite of an increase in
gross profit, the increase operating expenses overtook this increase in gross profit,
leaving a decline in profit margin.

BRIEF EXERCISE 5-11

(a)
($ in millions) 2012 2011
Gross profit $11,427.2 – $7,929.3 $10,387.1 – $7,326.4

margin = 30.6% = 29.5%
$11,427.2 $10,387.1
Profit $499.2 $467.0

= 4.4% = 4.5%
margin $11,427.2 $10,387.1
(b) The Canadian Tire Corporation’s gross profit margin increased marginally in 2012
indicating a slight increase in the percentage mark-up it has been able to command, or
a lowering of the costs of goods sold, or both. On the other hand, the profit margin
decreased slightly in 2012. This decrease is due to operating expenses or interest or
income tax expense increasing at a greater pace than the increase in gross profit.

SOLUTIONS TO EXERCISES
EXERCISE 5-1
(a) Toys’ R Us, Inc. is a retailer, Fasken Martineau Dumoulin LLP is a service firm, and
Atlantic Grocery Distributors Ltd. is a wholesaler.
(b) The operating cycle of these three businesses will be different. The longest operating
cycle will be experienced by the retailer, as the sales of merchandise will be the
slowest. The organization with the shortest operating cycle will be the law firm that
does not sell inventory. The third company, the distributing wholesaler, will have an
operating cycle between that of the retailer and the service firm because its inventory
is more likely to sell faster.

EXERCISE 5-11
(in USD millions)
(a) Gross profit margin

2012: ($50,705 – $38,132) ÷ $50,705 = 24.8%
2011: ($49,747 – $37,197) ÷ $49,747 = 25.2%
2010: ($49,694 – $37,534) ÷ $49,694 = 24.5%
Profit margin (using profit)

2012: $(1,231) ÷ $50,705 = –2.4%
2011: $1,003 ÷ $49,747 = 2.0%
2010: $1,317 ÷ $49,694 = 2.7%
(b) While the gross profit margin has been holding steady, with a slight deterioration from
in 2012, the profit margin deteriorated slightly in 2011 and then deteriorated
significantly and turned negative in 2012.
(c) Profit margin (using profit from operations)

2012: $1,085 ÷ $50,705 = 2.1%
2011: $2,374 ÷ $49,747 = 4.8%
2010: $2,235 ÷ $49,694 = 4.5%
The profit margin using profit from operations has followed the same trend in 2010 and
2012 when compared to profit margin using profit from operations. On the other hand,
profit margin using profit decreased in 2011 while profit margin using profit from
operations increased in 2011. The major element that is in the profit margin ratio but is
not in the gross profit margin is operating expenses. In 2011, the increased profit
margin is likely due to lower operating expenses relative to sales but in 2012, because
the profit margin deteriorated so much, it is likely due to increased operating expenses
relative to sales.

SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS
PROBLEM 5-1A
(a) A company’s operating cycle is the average time it takes to go from cash to cash in
producing revenues. The operating cycle for a merchandising company covers the
period of time between when you purchase your inventory, to when you sell it, and to
when you eventually collect the accounts receivable from a sale.
The hair salon is having problems paying for its products because it purchases a two
month supply, paying for it immediately, with cash flow from the current month’s
operations. There is an insufficient cash float available to purchase two months of
supply at one time, and to pay immediately rather than taking advantage of the 30 day
payment period.
The hair salon’s inventory is contributing to the problem of reduced cash flow and gross
profit because some items have been in stock for a long period of time. This further
extends the operating cycle for those items.
(b) The hair salon should use the perpetual inventory system to help determine which
inventory items are out-of-stock and which items are taking a long time to sell. By
managing what inventory is purchased, fewer markdowns of the selling price will be
required, and sales should increase as there will be less chance for a stock-out. Finally,
the full 30 days should be taken on the terms with your supplier to have more cash on
hand when needed.
(c) For control reasons, a physical inventory count must always be taken at least once a
year, and ideally more often under the perpetual inventory system. By using a perpetual
inventory system, a company knows what inventory should be on hand. Performing a
physical count and checking it to the perpetual records is necessary to detect any errors
in record keeping and/or shortages in stock. Since the salon staff and customers are
resisting the process of scanning products at the time of sale, there might be a tendency
for staff not to scan the product, leading to errors in the perpetual inventory record.
Enforcing the scanning procedure will strengthen internal control over cash receipts as
well. If staff can avoid scanning product, they may also attempt to avoid recording a
cash sale altogether, pocketing the extra cash. This theft would lead to unrecorded
revenues, explaining the past’s poor gross profit performance of the salon.

The cost of missing this purchase discount is the amount recorded as a reduction to the
Merchandise Inventory account when the payment was made within the discount period of
September 18 ($60,000 × 1%) = $600. Expressing this in terms of an annual interest rate, it
would be the equivalent of paying 24.6% ($600 ÷ $59,400 × 365/15) for the use of the money

PROBLEM 5-8A
(a) Gross profit margin $207,900 ÷ $900,000 = 23.1%

Increase in operating expenses (13,500)
Increase in income tax expense (2,700)
Revised amounts $1,035,000 $234,900 $74,755
(c)
Revised gross profit margin $234,900 ÷ $1,035,000 = 22.7%
Revised profit margin $74,755 ÷ $1,035,000 = 7.2%
While the gross profit margin decreases, the profit margin increases slightly from 7.1%
to 7.2%. The plan therefore has marginal merit.

PROBLEM 5-9A
(a)
[1] Sales = $540,000 (given)
[8] Accounts receivable = Sales × 30% = $540,000 × 30% = $162,000
(b)
[2] Cost of goods sold = 90% × inventory purchased = 90% × $300,000 = $270,000
[9] Merchandise inventory = 10% × inventory purchased = 10% × $300,000 = $30,000 or
purchases less cost of goods sold = $300,000 less
$270,000 = $30,000
[10] Accounts payable = 20% × inventory purchased = 20% × $300,000 = $60,000
(c)
[3] Gross profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold
= $540,000 – $270,000 = $270,000
[4] Operating expenses = $120,000 (given)
[5] Profit before income taxes = Gross profit – Operating expenses = $270,000 – $120,000
= $150,000
(d)
[6] Income tax expense = Profit before income taxes × 30% = $150,000 × 30% =
$45,000
[7] Profit = Profit before income taxes – Income tax expense =
$150,000 – $45,000 = $105,000
[11] Income tax payable = given as equal to income tax expense = $45,000
(e)
Gross profit margin = $270,000 ÷ $540,000 = 50.0%
Profit margin = $105,000 ÷ $540,000 = 19.4%
(e) If Psang Inc. has a higher than average gross profit margin, it is either because it is
selling products at a higher price, (which is not the case), or because its cost of goods
sold as a percentage of sales is smaller than its competitors. The resulting higher gross
profit will be a contributing factor to a higher than average profit margin ratio. Other
factors that could contribute to a higher than average profit margin ratio include lower
than average operating expenses.

= 2.7% = 4.8% = 4.4%
margin $148,219 $157,621 $164,217
The company’s current ratio keeps climbing higher and higher each year from 2010 to 2012.
The ratio itself is extremely strong, covering current liabilities 5.2 times. Danier Leather’s
gross profit margin improved in 2011 but declined in 2012. This trend is repeated in the profit
margin. After improving slightly in 2011, the profit fell further in 2012.
(b) 2012 2012

Industry Average Danier Leather Inc.
Current ratio 2.0:1 5.2:1
Gross profit margin 37.4% 51.8%
Profit margin 6.1% 2.7%
Danier’s current ratio and gross profit margins are substantially higher than the industry
averages but its profit margin is much lower than the industry average. This indicates that
Danier’s operating expenses are much higher than the industry’s.

*PROBLEM 5-11A (Continued)

(b) The advantages of the periodic inventory system are that it is simpler and cheaper
compared to a perpetual inventory system. There are fewer accounting entries and cash
registers need not be able to read bar codes to apply the appropriate cost as is required
in the perpetual inventory system.
However, a perpetual inventory system enables management to monitor purchases and

sales to make the optimum use of the money available for stocking inventory. Fewer
stock-outs are experienced when using the perpetual system as reduction in inventory
levels can be quickly identified and restocking done before the business runs out of
inventory. With the perpetual system, cost of goods sold can be reported at any time and
consequently, timely reporting of results can be achieved. When customers make
inquiries concerning the availability of stock from a merchant, a quick reply can be
obtained and provided when a perpetual inventory system is used.

The cost of missing this purchase discount is the amount recorded in the Purchase Discounts
account when the payment was made within the discount period of September 18 ($60,000 ×
1%) = $600. Expressing this in terms of an annual interest rate, it would be the equivalent of

PROBLEM 5-1B
(a) A company’s operating cycle is the average time it takes to go from cash to cash in
producing revenues. The operating cycle for a merchandising company covers the period
of time between when you purchase your inventory, to when you sell it, and to when you
eventually collect the accounts receivable from a sale. The Fashion Palace is having
problems paying its bills because the period of time between sales and collection of
accounts receivable is lengthened because many customers take more than one month
to pay.
The company’s inventory is contributing to the problem because some items have been
in stock for a long period of time, which means a long operating cycle for those items.
(b) The Fashion Palace should consider switching to a perpetual inventory system where
detailed records of each inventory purchase and sale are maintained. This system
continuously—perpetually—shows the quantity and cost of the inventory purchased,
sold, and on hand. This system will help the company see which inventory items are out-
of-stock, which items are taking a long time to sell, and provide management with the
total inventory on hand each month to prepare its monthly financial statements,
eliminating the need for a monthly count. The company will still need to perform at least
one annual inventory count to ensure its accounting records agree with the physical
inventory count.
(c) For control reasons, a physical inventory count must always be taken at least one a year,
and ideally more often under the perpetual inventory system. By using a perpetual
inventory system, a company knows what inventory should be on hand. Performing a
physical count and checking it to the perpetual records is necessary to detect any errors
in record keeping and/or shortages in stock.

October 14 ($580). Expressing this in terms of an annual interest rate, it would be the

PROBLEM 5-8B
(a) Gross profit margin $589,700 ÷ $1,684,700 = 35.0%
Profit margin $127,000 ÷ $1,684,700 = 7.5%
(b)
Net Gross
Sales Profit Profit
Existing balances $1,684,700 $589,700 $127,000

Increase sales ($1,684,700 × 10%) 168,470
Increase in gross profit 60,000 60,000
Increase in operating expenses (32,000)
Increase in income tax expense (4,000)
Revised amounts $1,853,170 $649,700 $151,000
(c)
Revised gross profit margin $649,700 ÷ $1,853,170 = 35.1%
Revised profit margin $151,000 ÷ $1,853,170 = 8.1%
While the gross profit margin increases slightly, the profit margin increases by from
7.5% to 8.1%. The plan therefore has merit.

PROBLEM 5-9B
(a)
[1] Sales = $400,000 (given)
[8] Accounts receivable = Sales × 20% = $400,000 × 20% = $80,000
(b)
[2] Cost of goods sold = 80% × inventory purchased = 80% × $200,000 = $160,000
[9] Merchandise inventory = 20% × inventory purchased = 20% × $200,000 = $40,000
or purchases less cost of goods sold
= $200,000 less $160,000 = $40,000
[10] Accounts payable = 25% × inventory purchased = 25% × $200,000 = $50,000
(c)
[3] Gross profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold
= $400,000 – $160,000 = $240,000
[4] Operating expenses = $140,000 (given)
[5] Profit before income taxes = Gross profit – Operating expenses = $240,000 – $140,000
= $100,000
(d)
[6] Income tax expense = Profit before income taxes × 30% = $100,000 × 30%
= $30,000
[7] Profit = Profit before income taxes – Income tax expense
= $100,000 – $30,000 = $70,000
[11] Income tax payable = given as equal to income tax expense = $30,000
(e)
Gross profit margin = $240,000 ÷ $400,000 = 60.0%
Profit margin = $70,000 ÷ $400,000 = 17.5%
(e) Although Tsang Inc. may sell its product at the same price as other companies in the
industry, its cost of goods sold percentage may be higher compared with other
companies in the industry. Because the business is new, it might not yet enjoy the
economies of scale and have strong relationships with suppliers which allow them to
buy at competitive prices. Tsang may be unable to negotiate lower purchase prices for
merchandise and therefore experiences lower gross profit margins compared to its
competitors. Similarly, other competitors are likely larger businesses that enjoy cost
savings through economies of scale. Tsang is a new business and does not enjoy this
advantage and experiences higher operating costs yielding a lower profit margin.

PROBLEM 5-10B

Profit
margin
= 3.7% = 5.8% = 4.2%
The company’s current ratio remained consistent at 1.2:1 over the three year period.
Volvo’s gross profit margin decreased slightly in 2011 and experienced a more substantial
decline in 2012. On the other hand, the company’s profit margin improved substantially in
2011 but then declined dramatically in 2012.
(b)
2012 2012
Industry Average AB Volvo
Current ratio 0.9:1 1.2:1
Gross profit margin 13.5% 22.6%
Profit margin (3.8)% 3.7%
The 2012 gross profit margin and profit margin are well above the industry averages,
indicating that the company is performing better than the average company in the
industry. Its 2012 current ratio is also substantially stronger than the average company in
the industry, indicating the company’s liquidity is stronger than most companies in the
industry.

*PROBLEM 5-11B (Continued)
(b) The advantages of the periodic inventory system are that it is simpler and cheaper
compared to a perpetual inventory system. There are fewer accounting entries and
cash registers need not be able to read bar codes to apply the appropriate cost as is
required in the perpetual inventory system.
However, a perpetual inventory system enables management to monitor purchases and

sales to make the optimum use of the money available for stocking inventory. Fewer
stock-outs are experienced when using the perpetual system as reduction in inventory
levels can be quickly identified and restocking done before the business runs out of
inventory. With the perpetual system, cost of goods sold can be reported at any time
and consequently, timely reporting of results can be achieved. When customers make
inquiries concerning the availability of stock from a merchant, a quick reply can be
obtained and provided when a perpetual inventory system is used.

The cost of missing this purchase discount is the amount recorded as a purchase discount
when the payment was made within the discount period of October 14 ($580). Expressing
this in terms of an annual interest rate, it would be the equivalent of paying 24.6% ($580 ÷

BYP 5-1 FINANCIAL REPORTING
(in USD millions)
(a) Shoppers Drug Mart is a merchandising company because it buys products and
resells them to the public.
(b) Shoppers Drug Mart classifies its operating expenses by function since captions
include titles like “operating and administrative” expenses. Furthermore, cost of
goods sold is shown rather than being split into purchases and change in
inventory.
(c) Other non-operating revenues or expenses reported include finance expenses

totalling $57,595,000.
(d) and (e)
($ in thousands) 2012 2011
Gross profit $4,172,619 $4,042,444

Profit margin $608,481 $613,934

$10,781,848 $10,458,652
(f) The company’s profitability deteriorated in 2012. In spite of achieving the same
gross profit margin, Shoppers’ profit margin decreased from 5.9% to 5.6% of
sales. This was due to higher operating expenses.

BYP 5-2 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
(a) Jean Coutu Shoppers Drug Mart

(in millions) (in millions)
($2,468.0 – $2,463.2) ($10,782 – $10,459)

Percentage
1. $2,463.2 $10,459
change in sales
= 0.2% = 3.1%
Percentage ($291.3 – $280.8) ($881 – $911)

2. change in operating income $280.8 $911
= 3.7% = (3.3%)
3. Gross profit margin ($2,468.0 – $2,169.0) $4,173

$2,468.0 $10,782
= 12.1% = 38.7%
4. Profit margin $558.4 $608

$2,468.0 $10,782
= 22.6% = 5.6%
(b) Although Jean Coutu appears to be profitable based on its profit margin, that
ratio needs to be adjusted to exclude the unrealized gain related to the
investment in Rite Aid, in order to measure a normalized profit margin. This
revised profit margin would have the net profit of $558.4 reduced by $265.2.
When divided by sales of $2,468.0 the calculation yields a revised profit margin
of 11.9%. Even at the revised profit margin of 11.9%, the profit margin for Jean
Coutu is more than double that of Shoppers Drug Mart.
On the other hand, the gross profit margin for Shoppers is more than three times
that of Jean Coutu. Shoppers’ sales are increasing at a greater pace than Jean
Coutu. However, the operating profit of Shoppers is declining.

BYP 5-3 COMPARING IFRS AND ASPE
(a) The main difference between these two income statements is that Happy Coffee
presents its expense items by function (such as general and administrative
expenses) while Country Coffee presents its expenses by nature of the expense
item. Under IFRS, Happy Coffee is required to also disclose the total depreciation
expense and salaries and benefits expense in the notes to the financial
statements.
(b) Under IFRS both formats of expense presentation, by nature or by function, are
acceptable. ASPE does not have a requirement on how to report expenses.
Expenses under ASPE can be classified in any manner that would be useful to the
key stakeholders.
The method which classifies expenses by function can require a higher degree of
judgement since expenses have to be allocated to each of the functional
categories (depending on how many functional categories are present). In the case
of Happy Coffee, there are only two categories—cost of goods sold and general
administrative expenses. In some other cases, for example, depreciation expense
may have to be allocated to store operating expenses and general and office
expense.
(c) The difference in format could make it difficult to compare expense items. For
example, expense items as a percentage of sales would not be comparable.
However, Country Coffee can still easily compare the key profitability measures of
gross profit margin and profit margin. These profitability ratios are not dependent
on the expense classifications.
(d) No, comparability of the gross profit margin and profit margin will not be impacted.
The definition of gross profit and profit and therefore the related amounts do not
change when preparing the income statement with a different format.
(e) Country Coffee can change the presentation of its income statement and begin
classifying its expenses by function. This would be an acceptable presentation
under ASPE.
Under IFRS if a company chooses to report its expenses by function it must still
disclose total depreciation and salaries and benefit expense in the note
disclosures. Country Coffee could use this additional information from the notes of
Happy Coffee for improved comparability.

BYP 5-4 CRITICAL THINKING CASE
Note to instructors: All of the material supplementing this group activity, including a
suggested solution, can be found in the Collaborative Learning section of the Instructor
Resource site accompanying this textbook as well as in the Prepare and Present
section of WileyPLUS.
(a) The CEO asked for three inappropriate adjustments to be made to the financial
statements. By recording a purchase return as an increase in sales revenue, the
sales revenue is now overstated and cost of goods sold is also overstated. By
recording freight-in relating to inventory that has now been sold as an operating
expense, it overstates operating expense while understating cost of goods sold.
Finally by recording a sales return as an operating expense, it overstates sales and
overstates operating expenses. All of these adjustments were designed to boost
gross profit in order to increase the bonus of the CEO.
If we reverse the adjustments made, we get:
2015 Draft Adjustments 2015 Revised

$(7,000)
Net sales $113,000 (6,000) $100,000
5,000
Cost of goods sold 62,000 (7,000) 60,000
Gross profit 51,000 (11,000) 40,000
(6,000)
Operating expenses 21,000 (5,000) 10,000
Profit from operations 30,000 0 30,000
Income tax expense 9,000 0 9,000
Profit $ 21,000 $ 0 $ 21,000
Gross profit margin: $51,000 ÷ $113,000 45.1%

Gross profit margin: $40,000 ÷ $100,000 40.0%
When we calculate the gross profit margin using the revised amounts, we can see
that it has not risen by more than 3% compared to the prior year and because of
this, the CEO will not obtain a bonus.
(b) The profit margin in 2015 is 21.0% ($21,000 ÷ $100,000) which is unchanged from
the prior year ($16,800 ÷ $80,000). However, in the first draft of the income
statement, the profit margin was 18.6% ($21,000 ÷ $113,000), which is lower than
the 21.0% determined using the correct amounts. This is because net sales were
overstated even though overall profit was not.

BYP 5-4 (Continued)

(c) Harm was done to the users of the financial statements. Assuming no corrections
were made, the income statement would have been adjusted for the bonus due to
the CEO. Many of the elements except for income tax expense reported in the
statement are false and misleading. Users of the financial statements would not
have obtained a true reflection of the performance trends of Peshawar Retailers
Ltd. and may have made inappropriate decisions based on misleading financial
statements. Furthermore, the CEO would have been awarded a bonus that he did
not deserve thereby taking assets away from the company and its shareholders.

BYP 5-5 ETHICS CASE
(a) Rita Pelzer, as a new employee, is placed in a position of responsibility and is

pressured by her supervisor to continue an unethical practice previously
performed by him. The unethical practice is taking unearned cash discounts. Her
dilemma is either to follow her boss’s unethical instructions or offend her boss and
maybe lose the job she just assumed.
(b) The stakeholders (affected parties) are:

Rita Pelzer, the assistant controller
Jamie Caterino, the controller (he looks good to superiors because of his
unethical behaviour)
Zaz Stores Ltd., the company benefited
Creditors of Zaz Stores Ltd. (suppliers harmed)
Canada Post employees (those blamed harmed)
(c) Ethically Rita should not continue the practice started by Jamie. She has several
choices in that she could:
1. Tell the controller (her boss) that she will attempt to take every allowable cash
discount by preparing and mailing cheques within the discount period—the
ethical thing to do. This will offend her boss and may jeopardize her continued
employment.
2. Comply with Jamie’s directions and continue the unethical practice of taking
unearned cash discounts.
3. Go over her boss’s head and take the chance of receiving just and
reasonable treatment from an officer superior to Jamie. The company may
not condone this practice. Rita definitely has a choice, but probably not
without consequence. To continue the practice is definitely unethical. If Rita
submits to this request, she may be asked to perform other unethical tasks. If
Rita stands her ground and refuses to participate in this unethical practice,
she probably won’t be asked to do other unethical things—if she isn’t fired.
Maybe nobody has ever challenged Jamie’s unethical behaviour and his
reaction may be one of respect rather than anger and retribution. Being
ethically compromised is no way to start a new job.

BYP 5-6 “ALL ABOUT YOU” ACTIVITY
(a) The gross profit margin would remain the same for both alternatives. Costs of
purchasing merchandise would remain the same. Cost to have the merchandise
shipped from the supplier to your place of business would likely not change
(assuming that the location will remain the same).
(b) The profit margin may change depending upon the alternative that is chosen. If
another store is opened then additional costs incurred would include rent for
premises, utilities for the premises, depreciation on the capital costs incurred to
purchase additional equipment, as well as the hiring of additional staff members. If
a website is the alternative chosen then additional costs may include the hiring of
staff to fill orders, costs of having orders shipped, costs to maintain the website up
to date, depreciation on the capital costs to set up the website, costs of renting
additional premises if the current premises are not large enough to hold the
additional inventory required.
(c) Other issues that must be considered include availability of inventory (can I buy
more inventory from my suppliers?), customer demand, customer loyalty, type of
customer (do they own a computer?), cash flow (how are you going to finance one
of these alternatives?), availability of staff in your neighbourhood, availability of
space and location.
