SOLUTIONS TO CONCEPTS FOR ANALYSIS
CA 4.1
The deficiencies of O’Malley plc’s income statement are as follows:
2. Dividends and gain on recovery of insurance proceeds should be classified as other income and
expense items.
4. Loss on obsolescence of inventories should be classified as an other income and expense item.
6. Intraperiod income tax allocation is required to relate income tax expense to income from continuing
operations, and loss on discontinued operations.
8. Per share data is a required presentation for income from continuing operations, discontinued

(a) The ethical issues involved are integrity and honesty in financial reporting, full disclosure,
accountant’s professionalism, and job security for Charlie.
CA 4.4
(a) It appears that the sale of the Casino Knights Division would qualify as a discontinued operation.
The operation of gambling facilities appears to meet the criteria for discontinued operations for
CA 4.4 (Continued)
(b) The “walkout” or strike should be reported as an “Other income and expense” item. Events of this
nature are a general risk that any business enterprise takes and should not warrant special
treatment.
CA 4.5
The income statement of Walters plc contains the following weaknesses in classification and
disclosure:
1. Sub-totals for gross profit, operating income, and income from continuing operations are not
provided.
2. Sales taxes. Sales taxes have been erroneously included in both gross sales and cost of goods
sold on the income statement of Walters plc. Failure to deduct these taxes directly from customer
3. Purchase discounts. Purchase discounts should not be treated as revenue by being lumped with
other revenues such as dividends and interest. A purchase discount is more logically a reduction
4. Recoveries of accounts written off in prior years. These collections should be credited to the
allowance for doubtful accounts unless the direct write-off method was used in accounting for bad
debt expense. Generally, the direct write-off method is not allowed.
5. Delivery expense and freight-in. Although delivery expense is an expense of selling and is
therefore reported properly in the statement, freight-in is an inventoriable cost and should have
6. Loss on discontinued styles. This type of loss, though often substantial, should not be treated
7. Loss on sale of marketable securities. This item should be reported as a separate component
of income from continuing operations and not as an unusual item.
CA 4.5 (Continued)
8. Loss on sale of warehouse. This item should be reported as a separate component of income
from continuing operations and not as an unusual item.
CA 4.6
Classification
Rationale
1.
No disclosure in current year.
Error has “washed out”; that is, subsequent
income statement compensated for the error.
However, prior year income statements should
be restated.
5.
Discontinued operations section.
Sale meet the criteria for the disposal of a
component of a business.
6.
Adjustment to the beginning balance of
retained earnings.
A change in inventory methods is a change in
accounting principle and prior periods are
adjusted.
