221. (CMA adapted, Jun 97 #2) Morgan Aircraft Products is a publicly-held corporation that manufactures
airframe and engine parts for the light aircraft producers and for the home-built aircraft market. During Year 6,
the Board of Directors decided to expand into aircraft kit production. The company plans to complete new
facilities for the partial assembly of the kit airplanes by the fourth quarter of Year 7. In order to finance the new
facilities, Morgan authorized and issued 50,000 shares of 7.15 percent, $100 par value, non-participating,
cumulative preferred stock for $110 per share on November 26, Year 6. As of the current year end, the company
has paid all preferred stock dividends.
William McElroy, controller for Morgan, is responsible for the preparation of the company’s financial
statements. He has assigned Alice York, assistant controller, to complete the shareholders’ equity statement and
any related notes. In addition to the preferred stock described above, York has assembled the following
information that she believes may affect shareholders’ equity at May 31, Year 7.
·
7 percent, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock with 100,000 shares authorized and 30,000 shares
issued and outstanding. The shares were sold for $57 per share. The dividends are current as of the end
of the year.
·
$1 par value common stock with 1,000,000 shares authorized and 307,160 shares issued. The shares
were sold for an average of $6.20 per share.
·
9,500 shares of common treasury stock is held by the company at an average cost of $5.86 per share.
·
Retained earnings at May 31, Year 7, after closing, was $25,330,000.
·
The cumulative unrealized translation adjustment at May 31, Year 7, had a $1,400,000 credit balance.
·
Unrealized holding gain on available-for-sale securities was $442,000.
·
Unrealized holding loss on trading securities was $289,000.
·
Retained earnings have been appropriated for treasury stock and an amount of $2,000,000 for
contingencies.
McElroy has agreed to meet with York to discuss the first draft of the shareholders’ equity statement.
Required:
a.
Define retained earnings.
b.
List and explain three reasons that would cause a company to appropriate retained earnings.
c.
Prepare the portion of the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheet, in good form and including
notes, for Morgan Aircraft Products at May 31, Year 7. Be sure to support your answer with appropriate
schedules and calculations. Indicate the reason for omitting any accounts listed by Alice York above
from the shareholders’ equity statement.
a.
Retained earnings is the company’s cumulative net earnings (losses) less
cumulative declared dividends from the date the company began operations.
Retained earnings are increased by net income and decreased by net losses,
declared dividends, and certain treasury transactions. Retained earnings may also
be increased or decreased by prior period adjustments and certain changes in
accounting principles.
b.
Appropriated retained earnings are retained earnings that are set aside for a
specific purpose and are not available for dividends. At least three reasons that
would cause a company to appropriate retained earnings include the following.
Legal restrictions. Some state laws prohibit the purchase of treasury stock by the
company unless there are earnings available for dividends. Retained earnings are
restricted in an amount equal to the cost of any treasury stock acquired.
Contractual restrictions. Bond indenture agreements may require that specific
amounts of retained earnings be restricted each year during the life of the bonds
to meet sinking fund requirements for the retirement of the bonds.
Protection of working capital positions. The Board of Directors may authorize an
appropriation of working capital out of retained earnings to indicate that the
amount specified is not available for dividends. This may be done to maintain a
strong working capital position or to set aside internal funds to finance specific
expansion projects.

222. As part of a company’s normal course of business, errors, omissions, and changes occur in the financial
statements. Certain items may be reported on the income statement, some may directly adjust the balance in
retained earnings, while others do not affect the current period’s income statement or retained earnings.
Required:
a.
Consider a change in estimate, such as the useful life of an asset moving from five to eight years. How
is this handled on the income statement and/or through the retained earnings account?
b.
Consider an error/omission, such as merchandise inventory being left out of the final yearly count. How
is this handled on the income statement and/or through the retained earnings account?
a.
A change in estimate such as the useful life is handled in the period of the change (by altering the
depreciation expense amount, which is ultimately closed to Retained Earnings) and future periods (also
reflected in a different depreciation expense amount). The income statement in the year of the change
(and in subsequent years) would reflect the altered depreciation expense.
b.
An error/omission such as leaving off ending inventory amounts is handled by directly increasing the
retained earnings account in the period the error/omission was discovered. The income statement in the
year of discovery is unaffected.
