Note 1. The reserve for contingencies has been created by charges to earned surplus and has
been established to provide a cushion for future uncertainties.
Note 2. The inventory account includes only items physically present at the main plant and
warehouse. Items located at the company's branch sales office amounting to $40,000
are excluded since the company has consistently followed this procedure for many
years.
Solution 5-117
1. The heading should be as of a specific date rather than for a period of time.
2. Reserve for Depreciation is poor terminology; the title Accumulated Depreciation is more
appropriate.
3. Land and buildings should be segregated into two accounts. The Accumulated Depreciation
account should only be reported for the buildings.
4. Plant site held for future use should be shown in the Investments section.
5. Current assets should be shown on the balance sheet first in most situations; current assets
are listed usually in order of liquidity; factory supplies should be shown as a current asset.
6. Treasury stock is not an asset, but a contra account to stockholders' equity in most situations.
7. Notes receivable should be reported as a current asset or an investment.
8. The deferred charge items should be reclassified as follows in most situations:
Advances to salespersons—current asset
Prepaid rent—current asset
Returnable containers—current asset
9. Allowance for doubtful accounts should be shown as a contra account to accounts
receivable.
10. Common stock dividend distributable should be shown in stockholders' equity.
11. 5% debenture bonds should be shown on a separate line.
12. Reserve for Contingencies should be shown as an appropriation of retained earnings. The
authors prefer the term "appropriation" to the term "reserve."
13. Capital stock should be shown at the par value of the shares issued, $120,000. Any excess
should be included in a paid-in capital account.
14. Capital surplus and earned surplus are poor terminology. The terms "additional paid-in
capital" and "retained earnings" are more appropriate.
15. The dividends paid title is a misnomer. It probably is a dividends declared item that should
be closed to retained earnings.
16. No reference in the body of the statement is made to the notes. The order of the notes is
wrong.
17. Note 2 indicates that the inventory account is understated by $40,000.
18. Specific identification and description of all significant accounting principles and methods
that involve selection from among alternatives and/or those that are peculiar to a given
industry should be disclosed in the annual report.

IFRS Short Answer:
1. Briefly describe some of the similarities and differences between U.S. GAAP and iGAAP with
respect to balance sheet reporting.
1. Among the similarities between U.S. and iGAAP related to balance sheet presentation are
as follows:
IAS 1 specifies minimum note disclosures. These must include information about
(1) accounting policies followed, (2) judgments that management has made in the
process of applying the entity’s accounting policies, and (3) the key assumptions
and estimation uncertainty that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Comparative prior-period information must be presented and financial statements
must be prepared annually.
Current/non-current classification for assets and liabilities is normally required. In
general, post-balance sheet events are not considered in classifying items as
current or non-current.
Differences include (1) iGAAP statements may report property, plant, and equipment first in
the balance sheet. Some companies report the sub-total “net assets”, which equals total
assets minus total liabilities. (2) While the use of the term “reserve” is discouraged in U.S.
GAAP, there is no such prohibition in iGAAP.
2. Briefly describe the convergence efforts related to financial statement presentation.
2. The IASB and the FASB are working on a project to converge their standards related to
financial statement presentation. This joint project will establish a common, high-quality
standard for presentation of information in the financial statements, including the classification
and display of line items. A key feature of the proposed framework for financial statement
presentation is that each of the statements will be organized in the same format to separate an
entity’s financing activities from its operating and other activities (investing) and further
separates financing activities into transactions with owners and creditors. Thus, the same
classifications used in the balance sheet would also be used in the income statement and the
statement of cash flows.
