Study Notes

Financial Statement Analysis and Managerial Accounting

Accounts receivable are amounts owed to a company by customers for goods or services, valued at their net realizable value.
Uncollectible accounts (bad debts) are deducted from accounts receivable gross and can be recorded using specific write-off or allowance method.
The allowance method estimates the amount of uncollectible accounts to be matched to related revenues, based on historical experience.
Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with costs including purchase, conversion, and bringing inventories to their present condition.
The cost of inventories is assigned by specific identification or first-in, first-out/wighted average cost formula for interchangeable items.
When inventories are sold, their carrying amount is recognized as an expense in the period when the related revenue is recognized.
Write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses are recognized as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs.
Fixed assets include tangible assets like property, plants, and equipment, and intangible assets like trademarks and patents.
Acquired fixed assets should be recorded at their actual cost, which includes purchase price, applicable taxes, commissions, legal fees, and installation costs.
Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of a fixed asset over its useful life, and is recorded as an expense and a decrease in the asset's value.
Impairing an asset is required if its net book value is higher than the recoverable value, resulting in an extraordinary loss of value expense.
Amortization applies to intangible assets such as patents and copyrights, which are rights or claims to expected benefits and tend to be contractual in nature.
