Discussion Questions
2-1. 2-2. 2-3. 2-4. Discuss some financial variables that affect the price-earnings ratio.
The price-earnings ratio will be influenced by the earnings and sales growth of
the firm, the risk or volatility in performance, the debt-equity structure of the
firm, the dividend payment policy, the quality of management, and a number of
other factors. The ratio tends to be future-oriented, and the more positive the
outlook, the higher it will be.
What is the difference between book value per share of common stock and
market value per share? Why does this disparity occur?
Book value per share is arrived at by taking the cost of the assets and
subtracting out liabilities and preferred stock and dividing by the number of
common shares outstanding. It is based on the historical cost of the assets.
Market value per share is based on the current assessed value of the firm in the
marketplace and may bear little relationship to original cost. Besides the
disparity between book and market value caused by the historical cost approach,
other contributing factors are the growth prospects for the firm, the quality of
management, and the industry outlook. To the extent these are quite negative or
positive; market value may differ widely from book value.
Explain how depreciation generates actual cash flows for the company.
The only way depreciation generates cash flows for the company is by serving
as a tax shield against reported income. This non-cash deduction may provide
cash flow equal to the tax rate times the depreciation charged. This much in
taxes will be saved, while no cash payments occur.
What is the difference between accumulated depreciation and depreciation
expense? How are they related?
Accumulated depreciation is the sum of all past and present depreciation
charges, while depreciation expense is the current year’s charge. They are
related in that the sum of all prior depreciation expense should be equal to
accumulated depreciation (subject to some differential related to asset
write-offs).

2-5. 2-6. 2-7. 2-8. How is the income statement related to the balance sheet?
The earnings (less dividends) reported in the income statement is transferred to
the ownership section of the balance sheet as retained earnings. Thus, what we
earn in the income statement becomes part of the ownership interest in the
balance sheet.
Comment on why inflation may restrict the usefulness of the balance sheet as
normally presented.
The balance sheet is based on historical costs. When prices are rising rapidly,
historical cost data may lose much of their meaning—particularly for plant and
equipment and inventory.
Explain why the statement of cash flows provides useful information that goes
beyond income statement and balance sheet data.
The income statement and balance sheet are based on the accrual method of
accounting, which attempts to match revenues and expenses in the period in
which they occur. However, accrual accounting does not attempt to properly
assess the cash flow position of the firm. The statement of cash flows fulfills
this need.
What are the three primary sections of the statement of cash flows? In what
section would the payment of a cash dividend be shown?
The sections of the statement of cash flows are:
Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows from investing activities
Cash flows from financing activities
The payment of cash dividends falls into the financing activities category.

2-9. 2-10. What is free cash flow? Why is it important to leveraged buyouts?
Free cash flow is equal to cash flow from operating activities:
Minus: Capital expenditures required to maintain the productive capacity
of the firm.
Minus: Dividends (required to maintain the payout on common stock and
to cover any preferred stock obligation).
The analyst or banker normally looks at free cash flow to determine whether
there are sufficient excess funds to pay back the loan associated with the
leveraged buyout.
Why is interest expense said to cost the firm substantially less than the actual
expense, while dividends cost it 100 percent of the outlay?
Interest expense is a tax-deductible item to the corporation, while dividend
payments are not. The net cost to the corporation of interest expense is the
amount paid multiplied by the difference of one minus the applicable tax rate.
For example, $100 of interest expense costs the company $65 after taxes when
the corporate tax rate is 35 percent—for example, $100 × (1 – 0.35) = $65.

Frantic Fast Foods
a. Year 20X1
= $410,000 / 301,000 = $1.36
b. Year 20X2
Earnings after taxes = $410,000 × 1.25 = $512,500
Shares outstanding = 301,000 + 30,000 = 331,000
Earnings per share = $512,500 / 331,000 = $1.55

12. Determination of profitability (LO1) Lemon Auto Wholesalers had sales of $1,000,000
last year and cost of goods sold represented 78 percent of sales. Selling and administrative
expenses were 12 percent of sales. Depreciation expense was $11,000 and interest expense
for the year was $8,000. The firm’s tax rate is 30 percent.
a. Compute earnings after taxes.
b. Assume the firm hires Ms. Carr, an efficiency expert, as a consultant. She suggests
that by increasing selling and administrative expenses to 14 percent of sales, sales can
be increased to $1,050,900. The extra sales effort will also reduce cost of goods sold
to 74 percent of sales. (There will be a larger markup in prices as a result of more
aggressive selling.) Depreciation expense will remain at $11,000. However, more
automobiles will have to be carried in inventory to satisfy customers, and interest
expense will go up to $15,800. The firm’s tax rate will remain at 30 percent. Compute
revised earnings after taxes based on Ms. Carr’s suggestions for Lemon Auto
Wholesalers. Will her ideas increase or decrease profitability?

a. b. c. Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X2.
Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X3.
Give a general explanation of why the P/E changed. You might want to consult the
textbook to explain this surprising result.
2-19. Solution:
Stilley Corporation
a. EPS (20X2) $436,000
200,000 = $2.18
P/E ratio (20X2) = Price/EPS = $42.00
$2.18 = 19.27x
b. EPS (20X3) $206,000 $1.03
200,000
c. P/E ratio (20X3) = Price/EPS = $27.80 26.99
$1.03 x
As explained in the text, when EPS drops rapidly, the stock
price might not decline as much, and the P/E ratio rises.
A higher P/E ratio under adverse conditions is not a positive.

Solution 2-28 b):
Cash flows from operating activities far exceed net income.
This occurs primarily because we add back depreciation of
$319,000 and accounts payable increase by $248,000. Thus, the
reader of the cash flow statement gets important insights as to
how much cash flow was developed from daily operations.
Solution 2-28 c):
The buildup in plant and equipment of $690,000 (gross) and
$371,000 (net) has been financed, in part, by the large increase
in accounts payable (248,000). This is not a very satisfactory
situation. Short-term sources of funds can always dry up, while
fixed asset needs are permanent in nature. This firm may wish to
consider more long-term financing, such as a mortgage, to go
along with profits, the increase in bonds payable, and the add-
back of depreciation.
