Report. The complete financial statements are available through a link at the book’s companion

Once each year a corporation communicates to its stockholders and other interested
parties by issuing a complete set of audited financial statements. The annual report, as
this communication is called, summarizes the financial results of the company’s oper-
ations for the year and its plans for the future. Many annual reports are attractive, mul-
ticolored, glossy public relations pieces, containing pictures of corporate officers and
directors as well as photos and descriptions of new products and new buildings. Yet
the basic function of every annual report is to report financial information, almost all
of which is a product of the corporation’s accounting system.
The content and organization of corporate annual reports have become fairly
standardized. Excluding the public relations part of the report (pictures, products,
etc.), the following are the traditional financial portions of the annual report:
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Companies usually present the financial highlights section inside the front cover of
the annual report or on its first two pages. This section generally reports the total
or per share amounts for five to ten financial items for the current year and one or
more previous years. Financial items from the income statement and the balance
sheet that typically are presented are sales, income from continuing operations, net
income, net income per share, net cash provided by operating activities, dividends
per common share, and the amount of capital expenditures. The financial highlights
section from PepsiCo’s Annual Report is shown on page A-2.

LETTER TO THE STOCKHOLDERS
A2 Appendix A Specimen Financial Statements: PepsiCo, Inc.
Nearly every annual report contains a letter to the stockholders from the chairman
of the board or the president, or both. This letter typically discusses the company’s
accomplishments during the past year and highlights significant events such as
mergers and acquisitions, new products, operating achievements, business philoso-
phy, changes in officers or directors, financing commitments, expansion plans, and

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) section covers three financial
aspects of a company: its results of operations, its ability to pay near-term obliga-
tions, and its ability to fund operations and expansion. Management must highlight
favorable or unfavorable trends and identity significant events and uncertainties
that affect these three factors. This discussion obviously involves a number of sub-
jective estimates and opinions. In its MD&A section, PepsiCo breaks its discussion
into three major headings: Our Business, Our Critical Accounting Policies, and Our
Financial Results. PepsiCo’s MD&A section is 22 pages long. You can access that
section at www.wiley.com/college/weygandt.

Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, of PepsiCo.
Only a short summary of the letter is provided below. The full letter can be
accessed at the book’s companion website at www.wiley.com/college/weygandt.

A8 Appendix A Specimen Financial Statements: PepsiCo, Inc.
Our financial statements include the con-
solidated accounts of PepsiCo, Inc. and
the affiliates that we control. In addition,
we include our share of the results of cer-
tain other affiliates based on our economic
ownership interest. We do not control these
other affiliates, as our ownership in these
other affiliates is generally less than 50%.
Our share of the net income of noncon-
trolled bottling affiliates is reported in our
income statement as bottling equity
income. Bottling equity income also
includes any changes in our ownership
interests of these affiliates. In 2005, bot-
tling equity income includes $126 million
of pre-tax gains on our sales of PBG stock.
See Note 8 for additional information on
our noncontrolled bottling affiliates. Our
share of other noncontrolled affiliates is
included in division operating profit.
Intercompany balances and transactions
are eliminated. In 2005, we had an addi-
tional week of results (53rd week). Our
fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of
each December, resulting in an additional
week of results every five or six years.
In connection with our ongoing BPT
initiative, we aligned certain accounting
policies across our divisions in 2005. We
conformed our methodology for calculating
our bad debt reserves and modified our
policy for recognizing revenue for products
shipped to customers by third-party
carriers. Additionally, we conformed our
method of accounting for certain costs,
primarily warehouse and freight. These
changes reduced our net revenue by
$36 million and our operating profit by
$60 million in 2005. We also made certain
reclassifications on our Consolidated
Statement of Income in the fourth quarter
of 2005 from cost of sales to selling,
general and administrative expenses in
connection with our BPT initiative. These
reclassifications resulted in reductions to
cost of sales of $556 million through the
third quarter of 2005, $732 million in the
full year 2004 and $688 million in the full
year 2003, with corresponding increases to
selling, general and administrative
expenses in those periods. These reclassifi-
cations had no net impact on operating
profit and have been made to all periods
presented for comparability.
The preparation of our consolidated
financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles
requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses
and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. Estimates are used in determin-
ing, among other items, sales incentives
accruals, future cash flows associated with
impairment testing for perpetual brands
and goodwill, useful lives for intangible
assets, tax reserves, stock-based compen-
sation and pension and retiree medical
accruals. Actual results could differ from
these estimates.
See “Our Divisions” below and for
additional unaudited information on items
affecting the comparability of our
consolidated results, see “Items Affecting
Comparability” in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis.
Tabular dollars are in millions, except per
share amounts. All per share amounts
reflect common per share amounts, assume
dilution unless noted, and are based on
unrounded amounts. Certain reclassifica-
tions were made to prior years’ amounts to
conform to the 2005 presentation.
We manufacture or use contract manufac-
turers, market and sell a variety of salty,
sweet and grain-based snacks, carbonated
and non-carbonated beverages, and foods
through our North American and interna-
tional business divisions. Our North
American divisions include the United
States and Canada. The accounting poli-
cies for the divisions are the same as those
described in Note 2, except for certain
allocation methodologies for stock-based
compensation expense and pension and
retiree medical expense, as described in
the unaudited information in “Our Critical
Accounting Policies.” Additionally, begin-
ning in the fourth quarter of 2005, we
began centrally managing commodity
derivatives on behalf of our divisions.
Certain of the commodity derivatives,
primarily those related to the purchase of
energy for use by our divisions, do not
qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
These derivatives hedge underlying com-
modity price risk and were not entered into
for speculative purposes. Such derivatives
are marked to market with the resulting
gains and losses recognized as a compo-
nent of corporate unallocated expense.
These gains and losses are reflected in
division results when the divisions take
delivery of the underlying commodity.
Therefore, division results reflect the
contract purchase price of the energy or
other commodities.
Division results are based on how our
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
evaluates our divisions. Division results
exclude certain Corporate-initiated restruc-
turing and impairment charges, merger-
related costs and divested businesses.
For additional unaudited information on
our divisions, see “Our Operations” in
Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue upon shipment or
delivery to our customers based on written
sales terms that do not allow for a right of
return. However, our policy for direct-store-
delivery (DSD) and chilled products is to
remove and replace damaged and out-of-
date products from store shelves to ensure
that our consumers receive the product
quality and freshness that they expect.
Similarly, our policy for warehouse distrib-
uted products is to replace damaged and
out-of-date products. Based on our histori-
cal experience with this practice, we have
reserved for anticipated damaged and out-
of-date products. For additional unaudited
information on our revenue recognition and
related policies, including our policy on
bad debts, see “Our Critical Accounting
Policies” in Management’s Discussion and
Analysis. We are exposed to concentration
of credit risk by our customers, Wal-Mart
and PBG. Wal-Mart represents approxi-
mately 9% of our net revenue, including
concentrate sales to our bottlers which are
used in finished goods sold by them to
Wal-Mart; and PBG represents approxi-
mately 10%. We have not experienced
credit issues with these customers.
Sales Incentives and Other Marketplace
Spending
We offer sales incentives and discounts
through various programs to our customers
and consumers. Sales incentives and dis-
counts are accounted for as a reduction of
revenue and totaled $8.9 billion in 2005,
$7.8 billion in 2004 and $7.1 billion in
2003. While most of these incentive
arrangements have terms of no more than
one year, certain arrangements extend
beyond one year. For example, fountain
pouring rights may extend up to 15 years.
Costs incurred to obtain these arrange-
ments are recognized over the contract
period and the remaining balances of
$321 million at December 31, 2005 and
$337 million at December 25, 2004 are
included in current assets and other assets
in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. For
additional unaudited information on our
sales incentives, see “Our Critical
Accounting Policies” in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis.
Other marketplace spending includes the
costs of advertising and other marketing
activities and is reported as selling, general
and administrative expenses. Advertising
expenses were $1.8 billion in 2005,
$1.7 billion in 2004 and $1.6 billion in
2003. Deferred advertising costs are not
expensed until the year first used and
consist of:
• media and personal service prepayments,
• promotional materials in inventory, and
• production costs of future media
advertising.
Deferred advertising costs of $202 mil-
lion and $137 million at year-end 2005
and 2004, respectively, are classified as
prepaid expenses in our Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
Distribution Costs
Distribution costs, including the costs of
shipping and handling activities, are
reported as selling, general and administra-
tive expenses. Shipping and handling
expenses were $4.1 billion in 2005,
$3.9 billion in 2004 and $3.6 billion
in 2003.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are investments with
original maturities of three months or less
which we do not intend to rollover beyond
three months.
Software Costs
We capitalize certain computer software
and software development costs incurred
in connection with developing or obtaining
computer software for internal use.
Capitalized software costs are included in
property, plant and equipment on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortized
on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the software, which gener-
ally do not exceed 5 years. Net capitalized
software and development costs were
$327 million at December 31, 2005 and
$181 million at December 25, 2004.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to various claims and
contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes
and environmental matters, as well as
commitments under contractual and other
commercial obligations. We recognize lia-
bilities for contingencies and commitments
when a loss is probable and estimable. For
additional information on our commit-
ments, see Note 9.

2005 Restructuring Charges
In the fourth quarter of 2005, we incurred
a charge of $83 million ($55 million after-
tax or $0.03 per share) in conjunction with
actions taken to reduce costs in our opera-
tions, principally through headcount reduc-
tions. Of this charge, $34 million related
to FLNA, $21 million to PBNA, $16
million to PI and $12 million to Corporate
(recorded in corporate unallocated
expenses). Most of this charge related to
the termination of approximately 700
employees. We expect the substantial
portion of the cash payments related to
this charge to be paid in 2006.
2004 and 2003 Restructuring and
Impairment Charges
In the fourth quarter of 2004, we incurred
a charge of $150 million ($96 million
after-tax or $0.06 per share) in conjunc-
tion with the consolidation of FLNA’s
manufacturing network as part of its ongo-
ing productivity program. Of this charge,
$93 million related to asset impairment,
primarily reflecting the closure of four U.S.
plants. Production from these plants was
redeployed to other FLNA facilities in the
U.S. The remaining $57 million included
employee-related costs of $29 million,
contract termination costs of $8 million
and other exit costs of $20 million.
Employee-related costs primarily reflect
the termination costs for approximately
700 employees. Through December 31,
2005, we have paid $47 million and
incurred non-cash charges of $10 million,
leaving substantially no accrual.
In the fourth quarter of 2003, we
incurred a charge of $147 million
($100 million after-tax or $0.06 per share)
in conjunction with actions taken to
streamline our North American divisions
and PepsiCo International. These actions
were taken to increase focus and eliminate
redundancies at PBNA and PI and to
improve the efficiency of the supply chain
at FLNA. Of this charge, $81 million
related to asset impairment, reflecting
$57 million for the closure of a snack
plant in Kentucky, the retirement of snack
manufacturing lines in Maryland and
Arkansas and $24 million for the closure
of a PBNA office building in Florida. The
remaining $66 million included employee-
related costs of $54 million and facility
and other exit costs of $12 million.
Employee-related costs primarily reflect
the termination costs for approximately
850 sales, distribution, manufacturing,
research and marketing employees. As of
December 31, 2005, all terminations had
occurred and substantially no accrual
remains.
Merger-Related Costs
In connection with the Quaker merger in
2001, we recognized merger-related costs
of $59 million ($42 million after-tax or
$0.02 per share) in 2003.
Depreciation and amortization are
recognized on a straight-line basis over an
asset’s estimated useful life. Land is not
depreciated and construction in progress is
not depreciated until ready for service.
Amortization of intangible assets for each
of the next five years, based on average
2005 foreign exchange rates, is expected
to be $152 million in 2006, $35 million
in 2007, $35 million in 2008, $34 mil-
lion in 2009 and $33 million in 2010.
Depreciable and amortizable assets are
only evaluated for impairment upon a
significant change in the operating or
macroeconomic environment. In these
circumstances, if an evaluation of the
undiscounted cash flows indicates impair-
ment, the asset is written down to its
estimated fair value, which is based on
discounted future cash flows. Useful lives
are periodically evaluated to determine
whether events or circumstances have
occurred which indicate the need for revi-
sion. For additional unaudited information
on our amortizable brand policies, see
“Our Critical Accounting Policies” in
Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Financial Statements and Accompanying Notes A13
Nonamortizable Intangible Assets
Perpetual brands and goodwill are assessed for impairment at least annually to ensure that discounted future cash flows continue to
exceed the related book value. A perpetual brand is impaired if its book value exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is evaluated for
impairment if the book value of its reporting unit exceeds its fair value. A reporting unit can be a division or business within a division.
If the fair value of an evaluated asset is less than its book value, the asset is written down based on its discounted future cash flows to
fair value. No impairment charges resulted from the required impairment evaluations. The change in the book value of nonamortizable
intangible assets is as follows:

Carryforwards, Credits and Allowances
Operating loss carryforwards totaling
$5.1 billion at year-end 2005 are being
carried forward in a number of foreign and
state jurisdictions where we are permitted
to use tax operating losses from prior peri-
ods to reduce future taxable income. These
operating losses will expire as follows:
$0.1 billion in 2006, $4.1 billion between
2007 and 2025 and $0.9 billion may be
carried forward indefinitely. In addition,
certain tax credits generated in prior peri-
ods of approximately $39.4 million are
available to reduce certain foreign tax
liabilities through 2011. We establish
valuation allowances for our deferred tax
assets when the amount of expected future
taxable income is not likely to support the
use of the deduction or credit.
Undistributed International Earnings
The AJCA created a one-time incentive for
U.S. corporations to repatriate undistrib-
uted international earnings by providing an
85% dividends received deduction. As
approved by our Board of Directors in July
2005, we repatriated approximately
$7.5 billion in earnings previously consid-
ered indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S.
in the fourth quarter of 2005. In 2005, we
recorded income tax expense of $460 mil-
lion associated with this repatriation. Other
than the earnings repatriated, we intend to
continue to reinvest earnings outside the
U.S. for the foreseeable future and, there-
fore, have not recognized any U.S. tax
expense on these earnings. At December
31, 2005, we had approximately $7.5 bil-
lion of undistributed international earnings.
Reserves
A number of years may elapse before a par-
ticular matter, for which we have established
a reserve, is audited and finally resolved.
The number of years with open tax audits
varies depending on the tax jurisdiction.
During 2004, we recognized $266 million of
tax benefits related to the favorable resolu-
tion of certain open tax issues. In addition,
in 2004, we recognized a tax benefit of
$38 million upon agreement with the IRS on
an open issue related to our discontinued
restaurant operations. At the end of 2003,
we entered into agreements with the IRS for
open years through 1997. These agreements
resulted in a tax benefit of $109 million in
the fourth quarter of 2003. As part of these
agreements, we also resolved the treatment
of certain other issues related to future
tax years.
The IRS has initiated their audits of our
tax returns for the years 1998 through
2002. Our tax returns subsequent to 2002
have not yet been examined. While it is
often difficult to predict the final outcome or
the timing of resolution of any particular tax
matter, we believe that our reserves reflect
the probable outcome of known tax contin-
gencies. Settlement of any particular issue
would usually require the use of cash.
Favorable resolution would be recognized as
a reduction to our annual tax rate in the year
of resolution. Our tax reserves, covering all
federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, are
presented in the balance sheet within other
liabilities (see Note 14), except for any
amounts relating to items we expect to pay
in the coming year which are included in
current income taxes payable. For further
unaudited information on the impact of the
resolution of open tax issues, see “Other
Consolidated Results.”
Our stock-based compensation program is
a broad-based program designed to attract
and retain employees while also aligning
employees’ interests with the interests of
our shareholders. Employees at all levels
participate in our stock-based compensa-
tion program. In addition, members of our
Board of Directors participate in our stock-
based compensation program in connec-
tion with their service on our Board. Stock
options and RSUs are granted to employ-
ees under the shareholder-approved 2003
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), our only
active stock-based plan. Stock-based
compensation expense was $311 million
in 2005, $368 million in 2004 and
$407 million in 2003. Related income tax
benefits recognized in earnings were
$87 million in 2005, $103 million in
2004 and $114 million in 2003. At year-
end 2005, 51 million shares were avail-
able for future executive and SharePower
grants. For additional unaudited informa-
tion on our stock-based compensation pro-
gram, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies”
in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
SharePower Grants
SharePower options are awarded under our
LTIP to all eligible employees, based on
job level or classification, and in the case
of international employees, tenure as well.
All stock option grants have an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of our
common stock on the day of grant and
generally have a 10-year term with vesting
after three years.
Executive Grants
All senior management and certain middle
management are eligible for executive
grants under our LTIP. All stock option
grants have an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of our common stock on
the day of grant and generally have a
10-year term with vesting after three years.
There have been no reductions to the exer-
cise price of previously issued awards, and
any repricing of awards would require
approval of our shareholders.
Beginning in 2004, executives who are
awarded long-term incentives based on
their performance are offered the choice of
stock options or RSUs. RSU expense is
based on the fair value of PepsiCo stock on
the date of grant and is amortized over the
vesting period, generally three years. Each
restricted stock unit can be settled in a
share of our stock after the vesting period.
Executives who elect RSUs receive one
RSU for every four stock options that would
have otherwise been granted. Senior offi-
cers do not have a choice and are granted
50% stock options and 50% RSUs.
Vesting of RSU awards for senior officers is
contingent upon the achievement of
pre-established performance targets. We
granted 3 million RSUs in both 2005 and
2004 with weighted-average intrinsic val-
ues of $53.83 and $47.28, respectively.

Method of Accounting and Our Assumptions
We account for our employee stock options under the fair value
method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to
measure stock-based compensation expense at the date of grant.
We adopted SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment, under the
modified prospective method in the first quarter of 2006. We do
not expect our adoption of SFAS 123R to materially impact our
financial statements.

Financial Statements and Accompanying Notes A17
Our pension plans cover full-time employ-
ees in the U.S. and certain international
employees. Benefits are determined based
on either years of service or a combination
of years of service and earnings. U.S.
retirees are also eligible for medical and
life insurance benefits (retiree medical) if
they meet age and service requirements.
Generally, our share of retiree medical
costs is capped at specified dollar
amounts, which vary based upon years of
service, with retirees contributing the
remainder of the costs. We use a
September 30 measurement date and all
plan assets and liabilities are generally
reported as of that date. The cost or
benefit of plan changes that increase or
decrease benefits for prior employee
service (prior service cost) is included in
expense on a straight-line basis over the
average remaining service period of
employees expected to receive benefits.
The Medicare Act was signed into law in
December 2003 and we applied the provi-
sions of the Medicare Act to our plans in
2005 and 2004. The Medicare Act
provides a subsidy for sponsors of retiree
medical plans who offer drug benefits
equivalent to those provided under
Medicare. As a result of the Medicare Act,
our 2005 and 2004 retiree medical costs
were $11 million and $7 million lower,
respectively, and our 2005 and 2004 lia-
bilities were reduced by $136 million and
$80 million, respectively. We expect our
2006 retiree medical costs to be approxi-
mately $18 million lower than they other-
wise would have been as a result of the
Medicare Act.

our pension and retiree medical plans and

Savings Plans
Our U.S. employees are eligible to partici-
pate in 401(k) savings plans, which are
voluntary defined contribution plans. The
plans are designed to help employees
accumulate additional savings for retire-
ment. We make matching contributions on
a portion of eligible pay based on years of
service. In 2005 and 2004, our matching
contributions were $52 million and $35
million, respectively.
Future Benefit Payments
Our estimated future benefit payments are as follows:
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011-15
Pension $235 $255 $275 $300 $330 $2,215
Retiree medical $85 $90 $90 $95 $100 $545
These future benefits to beneficiaries include payments from both funded and unfunded pension plans.
Pension Assets
The expected return on pension plan
assets is based on our historical experi-
ence, our pension plan investment guide-
lines, and our expectations for long-term
rates of return. We use a market-related
value method that recognizes each year’s
asset gain or loss over a five-year period.
Therefore, it takes five years for the gain or
loss from any one year to be fully included
in the value of pension plan assets that is
used to calculate the expected return. Our
pension plan investment guidelines are
established based upon an evaluation of
market conditions, tolerance for risk and
cash requirements for benefit payments.
Our investment objective is to ensure that
funds are available to meet the plans’ ben-
efit obligations when they are due. Our
investment strategy is to prudently invest
plan assets in high-quality and diversified
equity and debt securities to achieve our
long-term return expectation. Our target
allocation and actual pension plan asset
allocations for the plan years 2005 and
2004, are below.
Pension assets include approximately
5.5 million shares of PepsiCo common
stock with a market value of $311 million
in 2005, and 5.5 million shares with a
market value of $267 million in 2004. Our
investment policy limits the investment in
PepsiCo stock at the time of investment to
10% of the fair value of plan assets.

2005 service and interest cost components $3 $(2)
2005 benefit liability $38 $(33)

Our most significant noncontrolled bottling
affiliates are PBG and PAS. Approximately
10% of our net revenue in 2005, 2004
and 2003 reflects sales to PBG.
The Pepsi Bottling Group
In addition to approximately 41% and
42% of PBG’s outstanding common stock
that we own at year-end 2005 and 2004,
respectively, we own 100% of PBG’s class
B common stock and approximately 7% of
the equity of Bottling Group, LLC, PBG’s
principal operating subsidiary. This gives
us economic ownership of approximately
45% and 46% of PBG’s combined opera-
tions at year-end 2005 and 2004, respec-
tively. In 2005, bottling equity income
includes $126 million of pre-tax gains on
our sales of PBG stock.
Note 8 — Noncontrolled Bottling Affiliates
Retiree Medical Cost Trend Rates
An average increase of 10% in the cost of
covered retiree medical benefits is
assumed for 2006. This average increase
is then projected to decline gradually to
5% in 2010 and thereafter. These
assumed health care cost trend rates have
an impact on the retiree medical plan
expense and liability. However, the cap on
our share of retiree medical costs limits
the impact. A 1 percentage point change
in the assumed health care trend rate
would have the following effects:

A20 Appendix A Specimen Financial Statements: PepsiCo, Inc.
Such amounts are settled on terms
consistent with other trade receivables and
payables. See Note 9 regarding our guaran-
tee of certain PBG debt.
In addition, we coordinate, on an aggre-
gate basis, the negotiation and purchase of
sweeteners and other raw materials
requirements for certain of our bottlers
with suppliers. Once we have negotiated
the contracts, the bottlers order and take
delivery directly from the supplier and pay
the suppliers directly. Consequently, these
transactions are not reflected in our
consolidated financial statements. As the
contracting party, we could be liable to
these suppliers in the event of any nonpay-
ment by our bottlers, but we consider this
exposure to be remote.

Selling, general and administrative expenses $143 $114 $128

Our investment in PBG, which includes
the related goodwill, was $400 million and
$321 million higher than our ownership
interest in their net assets at year-end
2005 and 2004, respectively. Based upon
the quoted closing price of PBG shares at
year-end 2005 and 2004, the calculated
market value of our shares in PBG, exclud-
ing our investment in Bottling Group, LLC,
exceeded our investment balance by
approximately $1.5 billion and $1.7
billion, respectively.

Related Party Transactions
Our significant related party transactions
involve our noncontrolled bottling affiliates.
We sell concentrate to these affiliates,
which is used in the production of carbon-
ated soft drinks and non-carbonated bever-
ages. We also sell certain finished goods
to these affiliates and we receive royalties
for the use of our trademarks for certain
products. Sales of concentrate and
finished goods are reported net of bottler
funding. For further unaudited information
on these bottlers, see “Our Customers” in
Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
These transactions with our bottling
affiliates are reflected in our consolidated
financial statements as follows:
Our investment in PAS, which includes
the related goodwill, was $292 million
and $253 million higher than our owner-
ship interest in their net assets at year-end
2005 and 2004, respectively. Based upon
the quoted closing price of PAS shares at
year-end 2005 and 2004, the calculated
market value of our shares in PepsiAmericas
exceeded our investment balance by
approximately $364 million and
$277 million, respectively.
In January 2005, PAS acquired a
regional bottler, Central Investment
Corporation. The table above includes the
results of Central Investment Corporation
from the transaction date forward.

Note 9 — Debt Obligations and Commitments
Short-term borrowings are reclassified to
long-term when we have the intent and
ability, through the existence of the unused
lines of credit, to refinance these borrow-
ings on a long-term basis. At year-end
2005, we maintained $2.1 billion in
corporate lines of credit subject to normal
banking terms and conditions. These credit
facilities support short-term debt issuances
and remained unused as of December 31,
2005. Of the $2.1 billion, $1.35 billion
expires in May 2006 with the remaining
$750 million expiring in June 2009.
In addition, $181 million of our debt
was outstanding on various lines of credit
maintained for our international divisions.
These lines of credit are subject to normal
banking terms and conditions and are
committed to the extent of our borrowings.
Interest Rate Swaps
We entered into interest rate swaps in
2004 to effectively convert the interest rate
of a specific debt issuance from a fixed
rate of 3.2% to a variable rate. The vari-
able weighted-average interest rate that we
pay is linked to LIBOR and is subject to
change. The notional amount of the inter-
est rate swaps outstanding at December
31, 2005 and December 25, 2004 was
$500 million. The terms of the interest
rate swaps match the terms of the debt
they modify. The swaps mature in 2007.
At December 31, 2005, approximately
78% of total debt, after the impact of the
associated interest rate swaps, was exposed
to variable interest rates, compared to 67%
at December 25, 2004. In addition to vari-
able rate long-term debt, all debt with matu-
rities of less than one year is categorized
as variable for purposes of this measure.
Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps
In 2004, we entered into a cross currency
interest rate swap to hedge the currency
exposure on U.S. dollar denominated debt
of $50 million held by a foreign affiliate.
The terms of this swap match the terms of
the debt it modifies. The swap matures in
2008. The unrecognized gain related to
this swap was less than $1 million at
December 31, 2005, resulting in a U.S.
dollar liability of $50 million. At December
25, 2004, the unrecognized loss related to
this swap was $3 million, resulting in a
U.S. dollar liability of $53 million. We
have also entered into cross currency
interest rate swaps to hedge the currency
exposure on U.S. dollar denominated
intercompany debt of $125 million. The
terms of the swaps match the terms of the
debt they modify. The swaps mature over
the next two years. The net unrecognized
gain related to these swaps was $5 million
at December 31, 2005. The net unrecog-
nized loss related to these swaps was less
than $1 million at December 25, 2004.

A22 Appendix A Specimen Financial Statements: PepsiCo, Inc.
Most long-term contractual commit-
ments, except for our long-term debt
obligations, are not recorded in our
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Non-cance-
lable operating leases primarily represent
building leases. Non-cancelable purchasing
commitments are primarily for oranges and
orange juices to be used for our Tropicana
brand beverages. Non-cancelable marketing
commitments primarily are for sports
marketing and with our fountain customers.
Bottler funding is not reflected in our
long-term contractual commitments as it is
negotiated on an annual basis. See Note 7
regarding our pension and retiree medical
obligations and discussion below regarding
our commitments to noncontrolled bottling
affiliates and former restaurant operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
It is not our business practice to enter into
off-balance sheet arrangements, other than
in the normal course of business, nor is
it our policy to issue guarantees to our
bottlers, noncontrolled affiliates or third
parties. However, certain guarantees were
necessary to facilitate the separation of our
bottling and restaurant operations from us.
In connection with these transactions, we
have guaranteed $2.3 billion of Bottling
Group, LLC’s long-term debt through 2012
and $28 million of YUM! Brands, Inc.
(YUM) outstanding obligations, primarily
property leases, through 2020. The terms
of our Bottling Group, LLC debt guarantee
are intended to preserve the structure of
PBG’s separation from us and our payment
obligation would be triggered if Bottling
Group, LLC failed to perform under these
debt obligations or the structure signifi-
cantly changed. Our guarantees of certain
obligations ensured YUM’s continued use of
certain properties. These guarantees would
require our cash payment if YUM failed to
perform under these lease obligations.
See “Our Liquidity, Capital Resources
and Financial Position” in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis for further
unaudited information on our borrowings.
We are exposed to the risk of loss arising
from adverse changes in:
• commodity prices, affecting the cost of
our raw materials and energy,
• foreign exchange risks,
• interest rates,
• stock prices, and
• discount rates affecting the measure-
ment of our pension and retiree medical
liabilities.
In the normal course of business, we
manage these risks through a variety of
strategies, including the use of derivatives.
Certain derivatives are designated as either
cash flow or fair value hedges and qualify
for hedge accounting treatment, while oth-
ers do not qualify and are marked to market
through earnings. See “Our Business
Risks” in Management’s Discussion and
Analysis for further unaudited information
on our business risks.
For cash flow hedges, changes in fair
value are deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive loss within shareholders’
equity until the underlying hedged item is
recognized in net income. For fair value
hedges, changes in fair value are recognized
immediately in earnings, consistent with the
underlying hedged item. Hedging transac-
tions are limited to an underlying exposure.
As a result, any change in the value of our
derivative instruments would be substan-
tially offset by an opposite change in the
value of the underlying hedged items.
Hedging ineffectiveness and a net earnings
impact occur when the change in the value
of the hedge does not offset the change in
the value of the underlying hedged item. If
the derivative instrument is terminated, we
continue to defer the related gain or loss
and include it as a component of the cost of
the underlying hedged item. Upon determi-
nation that the underlying hedged item
will not be part of an actual transaction, we
recognize the related gain or loss in net
income in that period.
We also use derivatives that do not
qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
We account for such derivatives at market
value with the resulting gains and losses
reflected in our income statement. We do
not use derivative instruments for trading
or speculative purposes and we limit our
exposure to individual counterparties to
manage credit risk.
Commodity Prices
We are subject to commodity price risk
because our ability to recover increased
costs through higher pricing may be
limited in the competitive environment in
which we operate. This risk is managed
through the use of fixed-price purchase
orders, pricing agreements, geographic
diversity and derivatives. We use deriva-
tives, with terms of no more than two
years, to economically hedge price fluctua-
tions related to a portion of our anticipated
commodity purchases, primarily for natural
gas and diesel fuel. For those derivatives
that are designated as cash flow hedges,
any ineffectiveness is recorded immedi-
ately. However, our commodity cash flow
hedges have not had any significant inef-
fectiveness for all periods presented. We
classify both the earnings and cash flow
impact from these derivatives consistent
with the underlying hedged item. During
the next 12 months, we expect to reclas-
sify gains of $24 million related to cash
flow hedges from accumulated other
comprehensive loss into net income.
Foreign Exchange
Our operations outside of the U.S. generate
over a third of our net revenue of which
Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada
comprise nearly 20%. As a result, we are
exposed to foreign currency risks from
unforeseen economic changes and political
unrest. On occasion, we enter into hedges,
primarily forward contracts with terms of no
more than two years, to reduce the effect of
foreign exchange rates. Ineffectiveness on
these hedges has not been material.
Interest Rates
We centrally manage our debt and invest-
ment portfolios considering investment
opportunities and risks, tax consequences
and overall financing strategies. We may
use interest rate and cross currency
interest rate swaps to manage our overall
interest expense and foreign exchange risk.
These instruments effectively change the
interest rate and currency of specific debt
issuances. These swaps are entered into
Note 10 — Risk Management

Financial Statements and Accompanying Notes A23
concurrently with the issuance of the debt
that they are intended to modify. The
notional amount, interest payment and
maturity date of the swaps match the
principal, interest payment and maturity
date of the related debt. These swaps are
entered into only with strong creditworthy
counterparties, are settled on a net basis
and are of relatively short duration.
Stock Prices
The portion of our deferred compensation
liability that is based on certain market
indices and on our stock price is subject
to market risk. We hold mutual fund
investments and prepaid forward contracts
to manage this risk. Changes in the fair
value of these investments and contracts
are recognized immediately in earnings
and are offset by changes in the related
compensation liability.
Fair Value
All derivative instruments are recognized in
our Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair
value. The fair value of our derivative instru-
ments is generally based on quoted market

Basic net income per common share is net
income available to common shareholders
divided by the weighted average of com-
mon shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per common share is
calculated using the weighted average of
common shares outstanding adjusted to
include the effect that would occur if
in-the-money employee stock options were
exercised and RSUs and preferred shares
were converted into common shares.
Options to purchase 3.0 million shares in
2005, 7.0 million shares in 2004 and
49.0 million shares in 2003 were not
included in the calculation of diluted
earnings per common share because these
options were out-of-the-money. Out-of-the-
money options had average exercise prices
of $53.77 in 2005, $52.88 in 2004 and
$48.27 in 2003.

As of December 31, 2005 and December
25, 2004, there were 3.6 billion shares of
common stock and 3 million shares of
convertible preferred stock authorized. The
preferred stock was issued only for an
employee stock ownership plan (ESOP)
established by Quaker and these shares
are redeemable for common stock by the
ESOP participants. The preferred stock
accrues dividends at an annual rate of
$5.46 per share. At year-end 2005 and
2004, there were 803,953 preferred
shares issued and 354,853 and 424,853
shares outstanding, respectively. Each
share is convertible at the option of the
holder into 4.9625 shares of common
stock. The preferred shares may be called
by us upon written notice at $78 per share
plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
As of December 31, 2005, 0.3 million
outstanding shares of preferred stock with
a fair value of $104 million and 17 million
shares of common stock were held in the
accounts of ESOP participants. As of
December 25, 2004, 0.4 million outstand-
ing shares of preferred stock with a fair
value of $110 million and 18 million
shares of common stock were held in the
accounts of ESOP participants. Quaker
made the final award to its ESOP plan in
June 2001.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In addition to the financial statements and accompanying notes, companies are re-
quired to provide a report on internal control over financial reporting and to have
an auditor’s report on the financial statements. In addition, PepsiCo has provided
a report indicating that financial reporting is management’s responsibility. Finally,
PepsiCo also provides selected financial data it believes is useful. The two required
reports are further explained below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires managers of publicly traded companies
to establish and maintain systems of internal control over the company’s financial
reporting processes. In addition, management must express its responsibility for fi-
nancial reporting, and it must provide certifications regarding the accuracy of the
financial statements.
Auditor’s Report
All publicly held corporations, as well as many other enterprises and organizations
engage the services of independent certified public accountants for the purpose of
obtaining an objective, expert report on their financial statements. Based on a
comprehensive examination of the company’s accounting system, accounting
records, and the financial statements, the outside CPA issues the auditor’s report.
The standard auditor’s report identifies who and what was audited and indi-
cates the responsibilities of management and the auditor relative to the financial
statements. It states that the audit was conducted in accordance with generally ac-
cepted auditing standards and discusses the nature and limitations of the audit. It
then expresses an informed opinion as to (1) the fairness of the financial state-
ments and (2) their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. It
also expresses an opinion regarding the effectiveness of the company’s internal
controls. All of this additional information for PepsiCo is provided on the follow-
ing pages.

Additional Information A27
At PepsiCo, our actions — the actions of all our associates — are
governed by our Worldwide Code of Conduct. This code is clearly
aligned with our stated values — a commitment to sustained
growth, through empowered people, operating with responsibility
and building trust. Both the code and our core values enable us to
operate with integrity — both within the letter and the spirit of
the law. Our code of conduct is reinforced consistently at all levels
and in all countries. We have maintained strong governance
policies and practices for many years.
The management of PepsiCo is responsible for the objectivity
and integrity of our consolidated financial statements. The Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors has engaged independent
registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, to audit our
consolidated financial statements and they have expressed an
unqualified opinion.
We are committed to providing timely, accurate and understand-
able information to investors. Our commitment encompasses
the following:
Maintaining strong controls over financial reporting. Our system of
internal control is based on the control criteria framework of the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission published in their report titled, Internal Control —
Integrated Framework. The system is designed to provide reason-
able assurance that transactions are executed as authorized and
accurately recorded; that assets are safeguarded; and that
accounting records are sufficiently reliable to permit the prepara-
tion of financial statements that conform in all material respects
with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in reports under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summa-
rized and reported within the specified time periods. We monitor
these internal controls through self-assessments and an ongoing
program of internal audits. Our internal controls are reinforced
through our Worldwide Code of Conduct, which sets forth our
commitment to conduct business with integrity, and within both
the letter and the spirit of the law.
Exerting rigorous oversight of the business. We continuously review
our business results and strategies. This encompasses financial
discipline in our strategic and daily business decisions. Our
Executive Committee is actively involved — from understanding
strategies and alternatives to reviewing key initiatives and
financial performance. The intent is to ensure we remain objective
in our assessments, constructively challenge our approach to
potential business opportunities and issues, and monitor results
and controls.
Engaging strong and effective Corporate Governance from our Board of
Directors. We have an active, capable and diligent Board that
meets the required standards for independence, and we welcome
the Board’s oversight as a representative of our shareholders. Our
Audit Committee comprises independent directors with the
financial literacy, knowledge and experience to provide appropriate
oversight. We review our critical accounting policies, financial
reporting and internal control matters with them and encourage
their direct communication with KPMG LLP, with our General
Auditor, and with our General Counsel. In 2005, we named a
senior compliance officer to lead and coordinate our compliance
policies and practices.
Providing investors with financial results that are complete,
transparent and understandable. The consolidated financial state-
ments and financial information included in this report are the
responsibility of management. This includes preparing the
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the U.S., which require estimates based on
management’s best judgment.
PepsiCo has a strong history of doing what’s right. We realize that
great companies are built on trust, strong ethical standards and
principles. Our financial results are delivered from that culture of
accountability, and we take responsibility for the quality and
accuracy of our financial reporting.

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting
To Our Shareholders:

A28 Appendix A Specimen Financial Statements: PepsiCo, Inc.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervi-
sion and with the participation of our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over finan-
cial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control —
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that
evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control
over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2005.
KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has
audited the consolidated financial statements included in this
Annual Report and, as part of their audit, has issued their report,
included herein, (1) on our management’s assessment of the effec-
tiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and (2) on
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Additional Information A29
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of
PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and
December 25, 2004 and the related Consolidated Statements of
Income, Cash Flows and Common Shareholders’ Equity for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. We
have also audited management’s assessment, included in
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting, that PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
PepsiCo, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated
financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effective-
ness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial state-
ments, an opinion on management’s assessment, and an opinion
on the effectiveness of PepsiCo, Inc.’s internal control over
financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all mate-
rial respects. Our audit of financial statements included examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluat-
ing the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of
internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluat-
ing management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circum-
stances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over finan-
cial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and
December 25, 2004, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2005, in conformity with United States generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, manage-
ment’s assessment that PepsiCo, Inc. maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005,
is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria
established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by
COSO. Furthermore, in our opinion, PepsiCo, Inc. maintained, in
all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established
in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

Time Value of Money
Appendix C
C1
Would you rather receive $1,000 today or a year from now? You should prefer
to receive the $1,000 today because you can invest the $1,000 and earn interest
on it. As a result, you will have more than $1,000 a year from now. What this
example illustrates is the concept of the time value of money. Everyone
prefers to receive money today rather than in the future because of the interest
factor.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E S
After studying this appendix, you should be able to:
1 Distinguish between simple and compound interest.
2 Solve for future value of a single amount.
3 Solve for future value of an annuity.
4 Identify the variables fundamental to solving present value
problems.
5 Solve for present value of a single amount.
6 Solve for present value of an annuity.
7 Compute the present value of notes and bonds.
8 Use a financial calculator to solve time value of money problems.
THE NATURE OF INTEREST
Interest is payment for the use of another person’s money. It is the difference be-
tween the amount borrowed or invested (called the principal) and the amount re-
paid or collected. The amount of interest to be paid or collected is usually stated as
a rate over a specific period of time. The rate of interest is generally stated as an
annual rate.
The amount of interest involved in any financing transaction is based on three
elements:
1. Principal (p): The original amount borrowed or invested.
2. Interest Rate (i): An annual percentage of the principal.
3. Time (n): The number of years that the principal is borrowed or invested.
Simple Interest
Simple interest is computed on the principal amount only. It is the return
on the principal for one period. Simple interest is usually expressed as
shown in Illustration C-1 on the next page.
Distinguish between simple and
compound interest.

For example, if you borrowed $5,000 for 2 years at a simple interest rate of 12%

Interest computation
Compound Interest
Compound interest is computed on principal and on any interest earned that has
not been paid or withdrawn. It is the return on the principal for two or more time
periods. Compounding computes interest not only on the principal but also on the
interest earned to date on that principal, assuming the interest is left on deposit.
To illustrate the difference between simple and compound interest, assume
that you deposit $1,000 in Bank Two, where it will earn simple interest of 9% per
year, and you deposit another $1,000 in Citizens Bank, where it will earn com-
pound interest of 9% per year compounded annually. Also assume that in both
cases you will not withdraw any interest until three years from the date of deposit.
Illustration C-2 shows the computation of interest you will receive and the accu-
mulated year-end balances.
Illustration C-2
Simple versus compound
interest
Note in Illustration C-2 that simple interest uses the initial principal of $1,000
to compute the interest in all three years. Compound interest uses the accumu-
lated balance (principal plus interest to date) at each year-end to compute inter-
est in the succeeding year—which explains why your compound interest account
is larger.
Obviously, if you had a choice between investing your money at simple interest
or at compound interest, you would choose compound interest, all other things—
especially risk—being equal. In the example, compounding provides $25.03 of ad-
ditional interest income. For practical purposes, compounding assumes that unpaid
interest earned becomes a part of the principal, and the accumulated balance at the

Future Value of a Single Amount C3

FUTURE VALUE OF A SINGLE AMOUNT
Illustration C-4
Time diagram
FV � p � (1 � i )n
Illustration C-3
Formula for future value
where:
FV � future value of a single amount
p � principal (or present value)
i � interest rate for one period
n � number of periods
The $1,295.03 is computed as follows.
FV � p � (1 � i)n
� $1,000 � (1 � i)3
� $1,000 � 1.29503
� $1,295.03
The 1.29503 is computed by multiplying (1.09 � 1.09 � 1.09). The amounts in this
example can be depicted in the following time diagram.
The future value of a single amount is the value at a future date of a
given amount invested assuming compound interest. For example, in
Illustration C-2, $1,295.03 is the future value of the $1,000 at the end of
three years. The $1,295.03 could be determined more easily by using the
following formula.
end of each year becomes the new principal on which interest is earned during the
next year.
Illustration C-2 indicates that you should invest your money at the bank that
compounds interest annually. Most business situations use compound interest.
Simple interest is generally applicable only to short-term situations of one year
or less.

In Table 1, n is the number of compounding periods, the percentages are the peri-
odic interest rates, and the five-digit decimal numbers in the respective columns are
the future value of 1 factors. In using Table 1, the principal amount is multiplied by
the future value factor for the specified number of periods and interest rate. For ex-
ample, the future value factor for two periods at 9% is 1.18810. Multiplying this
factor by $1,000 equals $1,188.10, which is the accumulated balance at the end of
year 2 in the Citizens Bank example in Illustration C-2. The $1,295.03 accumulated
balance at the end of the third year can be calculated from Table 1 by multiplying
the future value factor for three periods (1.29503) by the $1,000.
The following demonstration problem illustrates how to use Table 1.

Another method that can be used to compute the future value of a single
amount involves the use of a compound interest table. This table shows the future
value of 1 for n periods. Table 1, shown below, is such a table.

Future Value of an Annuity C5
FUTURE VALUE OF AN ANNUITY
The preceding discussion involved the accumulation of only a single
principal sum. Individuals and businesses frequently encounter situa-
tions in which a series of equal dollar amounts are to be paid or received
periodically, such as loans or lease (rental) contracts. Such payments or
receipts of equal dollar amounts are referred to as annuities. The future value of
an annuity is the sum of all the payments (receipts) plus the accumulated com-
pound interest on them. In computing the future value of an annuity, it is neces-
sary to know (1) the interest rate, (2) the number of compounding periods, and
(3) the amount of the periodic payments or receipts.
To illustrate the computation of the future value of an annuity, assume that you
invest $2,000 at the end of each year for three years at 5% interest compounded
annually. This situation is depicted in the time diagram in Illustration C-6.
Solve for future value of an
annuity.

John and Mary Rich invested $20,000 in a savings account paying 6% interest at the time their son,
Mike, was born. The money is to be used by Mike for his college education. On his 18th birthday,
Mike withdraws the money from his savings account. How much did Mike withdraw from his account?
Answer: The future value factor from Table 1 is 2.85434 (18 periods at 6%). The future value of
$20,000 earning 6% per year for 18 years is $57,086.80 ($20,000 × 2.85434).

3.15250 $6,305
As can be seen in Illustration C-6, the $2,000 invested at the end of year 1 will
earn interest for two years (years 2 and 3), and the $2,000 invested at the end of
year 2 will earn interest for one year (year 3). However, the last $2,000 investment
(made at the end of year 3) will not earn any interest. The future value of these pe-
riodic payments could be computed using the future value factors from Table 1 as
shown in Illustration C-7.
The first $2,000 investment is multiplied by the future value factor for two periods
(1.1025) because two years’ interest will accumulate on it (in years 2 and 3). The
second $2,000 investment will earn only one year’s interest (in year 3) and there-
fore is multiplied by the future value factor for one year (1.0500). The final $2,000
investment is made at the end of the third year and will not earn any interest.
Consequently, the future value of the last $2,000 invested is only $2,000 since it
does not accumulate any interest.
This method of calculation is required when the periodic payments or receipts
are not equal in each period. However, when the periodic payments (receipts) are
the same in each period, the future value can be computed by using a future value
of an annuity of 1 table. Table 2, shown below, is such a table.

Henning Printing Company knows that in four years it must replace one of its existing printing
presses with a new one. To insure that some funds are available to replace the machine in
4 years, the company is depositing $25,000 in a savings account at the end of each of the
next four years (4 deposits in total). The savings account will earn 6% interest compounded
annually. How much will be in the savings account at the end of 4 years when the new
printing press is to be purchased?
Answer: The future value factor from Table 2 is 4.37462 (4 periods at 6%). The future value of
$25,000 invested at the end of each year for 4 years at 6% interest is $109,365.50
($25,000 × 4.37462).
Table 2 shows the future value of 1 to be received periodically for a given number
of periods. You can see from Table 2 that the future value of an annuity of 1 factor
for three periods at 5% is 3.15250. The future value factor is the total of the three
individual future value factors as shown in Illustration C-8. Multiplying this
amount by the annual investment of $2,000 produces a future value of $6,305.
The demonstration problem in Illustration C-8 illustrates how to use Table 2.
SECTION 2 Present Value Concepts
PRESENT VALUE VARIABLES
The present value is the value now of a given amount to be paid or re-
ceived in the future, assuming compound interest. The present value is
based on three variables: (1) the dollar amount to be received (future
amount), (2) the length of time until the amount is received (number of
periods), and (3) the interest rate (the discount rate). The process of determining
the present value is referred to as discounting the future amount.
In this textbook, we use present value computations in measuring several
items. For example, Chapter 11 computed the present value of the principal and in-
terest payments to determine the market price of a bond. In addition, determining
the amount to be reported for notes payable involves present value computations.
Identify the variables fundamental
to solving present value problems.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E 4

To illustrate present value, assume that you want to invest a sum of money
that will yield $1,000 at the end of one year. What amount would you need
to invest today to have $1,000 one year from now? Illustration C-9 shows
the formula for calculating present value.
C8 Appendix C Time Value of Money
PRESENT VALUE OF A SINGLE AMOUNT
Present Value � Future Value � (1 � i )n
Illustration C-9
Formula for present value
Thus, if you want a 10% rate of return, you would compute the present value of
$1,000 for one year as follows:
PV � FV � (1 � i)n
� $1,000 � (1 � .10)1
PV � $1,000 � 1.10
PV � $909.09
We know the future amount ($1,000), the discount rate (10%), and the
number of periods (one). These variables are depicted in the time diagram in
Illustration C-10.

Present Value of a Single Amount C9
For example, the present value factor for one period at a discount rate of 10%
is .90909, which equals the $909.09 ($1,000 � .90909) computed in Illustration C-10.
For two periods at a discount rate of 10%, the present value factor is .82645, which
equals the $826.45 ($1,000 � .82645) computed previously.
Note that a higher discount rate produces a smaller present value. For example,
using a 15% discount rate, the present value of $1,000 due one year from now is
$869.57, versus $909.09 at 10%. Also note that the further removed from the pres-
ent the future value is, the smaller the present value. For example, using the same
discount rate of 10%, the present value of $1,000 due in five years is $620.92, ver-
sus the present value of $1,000 due in one year, which is $909.09.

PRESENT VALUE OF AN ANNUITY
The preceding discussion involved the discounting of only a single future
amount. Businesses and individuals frequently engage in transactions in
which a series of equal dollar amounts are to be received or paid periodi-
cally. Examples of a series of periodic receipts or payments are loan
agreements, installment sales, mortgage notes, lease (rental) contracts, and pension
obligations. These periodic receipts or payments are annuities.
The present value of an annuity is the value now of a series of future receipts
or payments, discounted assuming compound interest. In computing the present
value of an annuity, you need to know: (1) the discount rate, (2) the number of dis-
count periods, and (3) the amount of the periodic receipts or payments.
To illustrate how to compute the present value of an annuity, assume that you
will receive $1,000 cash annually for three years at a time when the discount rate is
10%. Illustration C-14 depicts this situation, and Illustration C-15 shows the com-
putation of its present value.
Solve for present value of an

Answer: The present value factor from Table 3 is .79383

This method of calculation is required when the periodic cash flows are not
uniform in each period. However, when the future receipts are the same in each
period, there are two other ways to compute present value. First, you can multiply
the annual cash flow by the sum of the three present value factors. In the previous
example, $1,000 � 2.48686 equals $2,486.86. The second method is to use annuity
tables. As illustrated in Table 4 below, these tables show the present value of 1 to be
received periodically for a given number of periods.

Table 4 shows that the present value of an annuity of 1 factor for three periods
at 10% is 2.48685.1 (This present value factor is the total of the three individual
present value factors, as shown in Illustration C-15.) Applying this amount to the
annual cash flow of $1,000 produces a present value of $2,486.85.

TIME PERIODS AND DISCOUNTING
In the preceding calculations, the discounting was done on an annual basis using an
annual interest rate. Discounting may also be done over shorter periods of time
such as monthly, quarterly, or semiannually.
When the time frame is less than one year, you need to convert the annual
interest rate to the applicable time frame. Assume, for example, that the investor in
Illustration C-14 received $500 semiannually for three years instead of $1,000 an-
nually. In this case, the number of periods becomes six (3 � 2), the discount rate is
5% (10% � 2), the present value factor from Table 4 is 5.07569, and the present
value of the future cash flows is $2,537.85 (5.07569 � $500). This amount is slightly
higher than the $2,486.86 computed in Illustration C-15 because interest is paid
twice during the same year; therefore interest is earned on the first half year’s
interest.

Kildare Company has just signed a capitalizable lease contract for equip-

of each of the next 5 years. The appropriate discount rate is 12%. What
is the present value of the rental payments—that is, the amount used to
capitalize the leased equipment?
Answer: The present value factor from Table 4 is 3.60478
(5 periods at 12%). The present value of 5 payments of $6,000 each
discounted at 12% is $21,628.68 ($6,000 × 3.60478).

COMPUTING THE PRESENT VALUE
OF A LONG-TERM NOTE OR BOND
The present value (or market price) of a long-term note or bond is a func-
tion of three variables: (1) the payment amounts, (2) the length of time un-
til the amounts are paid, and (3) the discount rate. Our illustration uses a
five-year bond issue.
Compute the present value of
notes and bonds.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E 7

Computing the Present Value of a Long-Term Note or Bond C13
The first variable—dollars to be paid—is made up of two elements: (1) a series
of interest payments (an annuity), and (2) the principal amount (a single sum). To
compute the present value of the bond, we must discount both the interest pay-
ments and the principal amount—two different computations. The time diagrams
for a bond due in five years are shown in Illustration C-17.
When the investor’s market interest rate is equal to the bond’s contractual in-
terest rate, the present value of the bonds will equal the face value of the bonds. To
illustrate, assume a bond issue of 10%, five-year bonds with a face value of
$100,000 with interest payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1. If the discount
rate is the same as the contractual rate, the bonds will sell at face value. In this case,
the investor will receive the following: (1) $100,000 at maturity, and (2) a series of
ten $5,000 interest payments [($100,000 � 10%) � 2] over the term of the bonds.
The length of time is expressed in terms of interest periods—in this case—10,
and the discount rate per interest period, 5%. The following time diagram
(Illustration C-18) depicts the variables involved in this discounting situation.

Now assume that the investor’s required rate of return is 12%, not 10%. The fu-
ture amounts are again $100,000 and $5,000, respectively, but now a discount rate
of 6% (12% � 2) must be used. The present value of the bonds is $92,639, as com-
puted in Illustration C-20.
Conversely, if the discount rate is 8% and the contractual rate is 10%, the pres-
ent value of the bonds is $108,111, computed as shown in Illustration C-21.
The above discussion relies on present value tables in solving present value
problems. Many people use spreadsheets such as Excel or Financial calculators
(some even on websites) to compute present values, without the use of tables.
Many calculators, especially financial calculators, have present value (PV)
functions that allow you to calculate present values by merely inputting the
proper amount, discount rate, and periods, and pressing the PV key. The next
section illustrates how to use a financial calculator in various business situations.

Using Financial Calculators—Present Value of a Single Sum C15
SECTION 3 Using Financial Calculators
Business professionals, once they have mastered the underlying concepts
in sections 1 and 2, often use a financial (business) calculator to solve time
value of money problems. In many cases, they must use calculators if in-
terest rates or time periods do not correspond with the information pro-
vided in the compound interest tables.
To use financial calculators, you enter the time value of money variables into
the calculator. Illustration C-22 shows the five most common keys used to solve
time value of money problems.2
Use a financial calculator to solve
time value of money problems.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E 8
Illustration C-22
Financial calculator keys
N I PV PMT FV
where
N � number of periods
I � interest rate per period (some calculators use I/YR or i)
PV � present value (occurs at the beginning of the first period)
PMT � payment (all payments are equal, and none are skipped)
FV � future value (occurs at the end of the last period)
In solving time value of money problems in this appendix, you will generally be
given three of four variables and will have to solve for the remaining variable. The
fifth key (the key not used) is given a value of zero to ensure that this variable is
not used in the computation.
PRESENT VALUE OF A SINGLE SUM
To illustrate how to solve a present value problem using a financial calculator, assume
that you want to know the present value of $84,253 to be received in five years, dis-
counted at 11% compounded annually. Illustration C-23 pictures this problem.

On many calculators, these keys are actual buttons on the face of the calculator; on others they
appear on the display after the user accesses a present value menu.

Answer:

I PV PMT FV
The diagram shows you the information (inputs) to enter into the calculator:
N � 5, I � 11, PMT � 0, and FV � 84,253. You then press PV for the answer:
�$50,000. As indicated, the PMT key was given a value of zero because a series of
payments did not occur in this problem.

Plus and Minus
The use of plus and minus signs in time value of money problems with a financial
calculator can be confusing. Most financial calculators are programmed so that the
positive and negative cash flows in any problem offset each other. In the present
value problem, we identified the $84,253 future value initial investment as a positive
(inflow); the answer �$50,000 was shown as a negative amount, reflecting a cash
outflow. If the 84,253 were entered as a negative, then the final answer would have
been reported as a positive 50,000.
Hopefully, the sign convention will not cause confusion. If you understand
what is required in a problem, you should be able to interpret a positive or negative
amount in determining the solution to a problem.
Compounding Periods
In the problem on page C15, we assumed that compounding occurs once a year.
Some financial calculators have a default setting, which assumes that compounding
occurs 12 times a year. You must determine what default period has been pro-
grammed into your calculator and change it as necessary to arrive at the proper
compounding period.
Rounding
Most financial calculators store and calculate using 12 decimal places. As a result,
because compound interest tables generally have factors only up to 5 decimal
places, a slight difference in the final answer can result. In most time value of
money problems, the final answer will not include more than two decimal points.

PRESENT VALUE OF AN ANNUITY
To illustrate how to solve a present value of an annuity problem using a financial
calculator, assume that you are asked to determine the present value of rental re-
ceipts of $6,000 each to be received at the end of each of the next five years, when
discounted at 12%, as pictured in Illustration C-24.

In this case, you enter N � 5, I � 12, PMT � 6,000, FV � 0, and then press PV to
arrive at the answer of $21, 628.66.
USEFUL APPLICATIONS OF THE
FINANCIAL CALCULATOR
With a financial calculator you can solve for any interest rate or for any number
of periods in a time value of money problem. Here are some examples of these
applications.

Auto Loan
Assume you are financing a car with a three-year loan. The loan has a 9.5% nomi-
nal annual interest rate, compounded monthly. The price of the car is $6,000, and
you want to determine the monthly payments, assuming that the payments start
one month after the purchase. This problem is pictured in Illustration C-25.
Summary of Study Objectives C17
To solve this problem, you enter N � 36 (12 � 3), I � 9.5, PV � 6,000, FV � 0, and
then press PMT. You will find that the monthly payments will be $192.20. Note that
the payment key is usually programmed for 12 payments per year. Thus, you must
change the default (compounding period) if the payments are other than monthly.
Mortgage Loan Amount
Let’s say you are evaluating financing options for a loan on a house. You decide
that the maximum mortgage payment you can afford is $700 per month. The annual
interest rate is 8.4%. If you get a mortgage that requires you to make monthly pay-
ments over a 15-year period, what is the maximum purchase price you can afford?
Illustration C-26 depicts this problem.

With the payment-per-year key set at 12, you find a present value of $71,509.81—
the maximum house price you can afford, given that you want to keep your mort-
gage payments at $700. Note that by changing any of the variables, you can quickly
conduct “what-if” analyses for different situations.
SUMMARY OF STUDY OBJECTIVES
1. Distinguish between simple and compound interest.
Simple interest is computed on the principal only, whereas
compound interest is computed on the principal and any
interest earned that has not been withdrawn.
2. Solve for future value of a single amount. Prepare a
time diagram of the problem. Identify the principal
amount, the number of compounding periods, and the in-
terest rate. Using the future value of 1 table, multiply the
principal amount by the future value factor specified at
the intersection of the number of periods and the interest
rate.
3. Solve for future value of an annuity. Prepare a time di-
agram of the problem. Identify the amount of the periodic
payments, the number of compounding periods, and the

4. Identify the variables fundamental to solving present
value problems. The following three variables are funda-
mental to solving present value problems: (1) the future
amount, (2) the number of periods, and (3) the interest rate
(the discount rate).
5. Solve for present value of a single amount. Prepare a
time diagram of the problem. Identify the future amount,
the number of discounting periods, and the discount (inter-
est) rate. Using the present value of 1 table, multiply the fu-
ture amount by the present value factor specified at the in-
tersection of the number of periods and the discount rate.
6. Solve for present value of an annuity. Prepare a time
diagram of the problem. Identify the future amounts (an-
nuities), the number of discounting periods, and the dis-
count (interest) rate. Using the present value of an annuity
of 1 table, multiply the amount of the annuity by the pres-
ent value factor specified at the intersection of the number
of periods and the interest rate.
7. Compute the present value of notes and bonds. To
determine the present value of the principal amount:
Multiply the principal amount (a single future amount) by
the present value factor (from the present value of 1 table)
intersecting at the number of periods (number of interest
payments) and the discount rate. To determine the present
value of the series of interest payments: Multiply the
amount of the interest payment by the present value factor
(from the present value of an annuity of 1 table) intersect-
ing at the number of periods (number of interest pay-
ments) and the discount rate. Add the present value of the
principal amount to the present value of the interest pay-
ments to arrive at the present value of the note or bond.
8. Use a financial calculator to solve time value of money
problems. Financial calculators can be used to solve the
same and additional problems as those solved with time
value of money tables. One enters into the financial calcu-
lator the amounts for all of the known elements of a time
value of money problem (periods, interest rate, payments,
future or present value) and solves for the unknown element.
Particularly useful situations involve interest rates and
compounding periods not presented in the tables.

Payroll Accounting
Appendix D
Payroll and related fringe benefits often make up a large percentage of current lia-
bilities. Employee compensation is often the most significant expense that a com-
pany incurs. For example, Costco recently reported total employees of 103,000 and
labor and fringe benefits costs that approximated 70% of the company’s total cost
of operations.
Payroll accounting involves more than paying employees’ wages. Companies are
required by law to maintain payroll records for each employee, to file and pay payroll
taxes, and to comply with numerous state and federal tax laws related to employee
compensation. Accounting for payroll has become much more complex due to these
regulations.
After studying this appendix, you should be able to:
1. Discuss the objectives of internal control for payroll.
2. Compute and record the payroll for a pay period.
3. Describe and record employer payroll taxes.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E
PAYROLL DEFINED
The term “payroll” pertains to both salaries and wages. Managerial, administrative,
and sales personnel are generally paid salaries. Salaries are often expressed in
terms of a specified amount per month or per year rather than an hourly rate. Store
clerks, factory employees, and manual laborers are normally paid wages. Wages are
based on a rate per hour or on a piecework basis (such as per unit of product).
Frequently, people use the terms “salaries” and “wages” interchangeably.
The term “payroll” does not apply to payments made for services of profes-
sionals such as certified public accountants, attorneys, and architects. Such profes-
sionals are independent contractors rather than salaried employees. Payments to
them are called fees. This distinction is important because government regulations
relating to the payment and reporting of payroll taxes apply only to employees.
INTERNAL CONTROL OF PAYROLL
Chapter 8 introduced internal control. As applied to payrolls, the objec-
tives of internal control are (1) to safeguard company assets against unau-
thorized payments of payroll and (2) to ensure the accuracy and reliability
of the accounting records pertaining to payrolls.
Irregularities often result if internal control is lax. Methods of theft involving
payroll include overstating hours, using unauthorized pay rates, adding fictitious
employees to the payroll, continuing terminated employees on the payroll, and dis-
tributing duplicate payroll checks. Moreover, inaccurate records will result in in-
correct paychecks, financial statements, and payroll tax returns.
Discuss the objectives of internal
control for payroll.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E 1

Payroll activities involve four functions: hiring employees, timekeeping,
preparing the payroll, and paying the payroll. For effective internal control, the
company should assign these four functions to different departments or individuals.
To illustrate these functions, we will examine the case of Academy Company and
one of its employees, Michael Jordan.
Hiring Employees
The human resources (personnel) department is responsible for posting job open-
ings, screening and interviewing applicants, and hiring employees. From a control
standpoint, this department provides significant documentation and authorization.
When an employee is hired, the human resources department prepares an author-
ization form. The one used by Academy Company for Michael Jordan is shown in
Illustration D-1.

PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT
The human resources department sends the authorization form to the payroll
department, where it is used to place the new employee on the payroll. A chief con-
cern of the human resources department is ensuring the accuracy of this form. The
reason is quite simple: One of the most common types of payroll frauds is adding
fictitious employees to the payroll.
The human resources department is also responsible for authorizing changes
in employment status. Specifically, they must authorize (1) changes in pay rates and
(2) terminations of employment. Every authorization should be in writing, and a
copy of the change in status should be sent to the payroll department. Notice in
Illustration D-1 that Jordan received a pay increase of $2 per hour.

Timekeeping
Another area in which internal control is important is timekeeping. Hourly em-
ployees are usually required to record time worked by “punching” a time clock. The
employee inserts a time card into the clock, which automatically records the
employee’s arrival and departure times. Illustration D-2 shows Michael Jordan’s
time card.
Internal Control of Payroll D3
In large companies, time clock procedures are often monitored by a supervisor
or security guard to make sure an employee punches only his or her own card. At the
end of the pay period, each employee’s supervisor approves the hours shown by sign-
ing the time card. When overtime hours are involved, approval by a supervisor is usu-
ally mandatory. This guards against unauthorized overtime. The approved time cards
are then sent to the payroll department. For salaried employees, a manually prepared
weekly or monthly time report kept by a supervisor may be used to record time
worked.
Preparing the Payroll
The payroll department prepares the payroll on the basis of two inputs: (1) human
resources department authorizations and (2) approved time cards. Numerous cal-
culations are involved in determining gross wages and payroll deductions.
Therefore, a second payroll department employee, working independently, verifies
all calculated amounts, and a payroll department supervisor then approves the
payroll.The payroll department is also responsible for preparing (but not signing) pay-
roll checks, maintaining payroll records, and preparing payroll tax returns.

Preparing the Payroll

Paying the Payroll
The treasurer’s department pays the payroll. Payment by check minimizes the risk
of loss from theft, and the endorsed check provides proof of payment. For good
internal control, payroll checks should be prenumbered, and all checks should be
accounted for. All checks must be signed by the treasurer (or a designated agent).
Distribution of the payroll checks to employees should be controlled by the trea-
surer’s department. Many employees have their pay credited electronically to their
bank accounts. To control these disbursements, the company provides to employ-
ees receipts detailing gross pay deductions and net pay.
Occasionally companies pay the payroll in currency. In such cases it is custom-
ary to have a second person count the cash in each pay envelope. The paymaster
should obtain a signed receipt from the employee upon payment.

Paying the Payroll
Type of Pay Hours � Rate � Gross Earnings
Regular 40 � $12 � $480
Overtime 4 � 18 � 72
Total wages $552
Illustration D-3
Computation of total wages
This computation assumes that Jordan receives 11⁄2 times his regular
hourly rate ($12 � 1.5) for his overtime hours. Union contracts often re-
quire that overtime rates be as much as twice the regular rates.
An employee’s salary is generally based on a monthly or yearly rate.
The company then prorates these rates to its payroll periods (e.g., bi-
weekly or monthly). Most executive and administrative positions are
salaried. Federal law does not require overtime pay for employees in
such positions.
Many companies have bonus agreements for employees. One survey
found that over 94% of the largest U.S. manufacturing companies offer an-
nual bonuses to key executives. Bonus arrangements may be based on such factors
as increased sales or net income. Companies may pay bonuses in cash and/or by
granting employees the opportunity to acquire shares of company stock at favor-
able prices (called stock option plans).
E T H I C S N O T E
Bonuses often reward out-
standing individual per-
formance, but successful corpo-
rations also need considerable
teamwork. A challenge is to
motivate individuals while pre-
venting an unethical employee
from taking another’s idea for
his or her own advantage.
DETERMINING THE PAYROLL
Determining the payroll involves computing three amounts: (1) gross
earnings, (2) payroll deductions, and (3) net pay.
Gross Earnings
Gross earnings is the total compensation earned by an employee. It consists of
wages or salaries, plus any bonuses and commissions.
Companies determine total wages for an employee by multiplying the hours
worked by the hourly rate of pay. In addition to the hourly pay rate, most compa-
nies are required by law to pay hourly workers a minimum of 11⁄2 times the regular
hourly rate for overtime work in excess of eight hours per day or 40 hours per
week. In addition, many employers pay overtime rates for work done at night, on
weekends, and on holidays.
For example, assume that Michael Jordan, an employee of Academy Company,
worked 44 hours for the weekly pay period ending January 14. His regular wage is
$12 per hour. For any hours in excess of 40, the company pays at one-and-a-half times
the regular rate. Academy computes Jordan’s gross earnings (total wages) as follows.
Compute and record the payroll
for a pay period.

Payroll Deductions
As anyone who has received a paycheck knows, gross earnings are usually very
different from the amount actually received. The difference is due to payroll
deductions.
Payroll deductions may be mandatory or voluntary. Mandatory deductions are
required by law and consist of FICA taxes and income taxes. Voluntary deductions
are at the option of the employee. Illustration D-4 summarizes common types of
payroll deductions. Such deductions do not result in payroll tax expense to the
employer. The employer is merely a collection agent, and subsequently transfers
the deducted amounts to the government and designated recipients.

The Medicare provision also includes a tax of 1.45% on gross earnings in excess of $97,500. In
the interest of simplification, we ignore this 1.45% charge in our end-of-chapter assignment mate-
rial. We assume zero FICA withholdings on gross earnings above $97,500.
FICA TAXES
In 1937 Congress enacted the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA). FICA
taxes are designed to provide workers with supplemental retirement, employment dis-
ability, and medical benefits. In 1965, Congress extended benefits to include Medicare
for individuals over 65 years of age. The benefits are financed by a tax levied on
employees’ earnings. FICA taxes are commonly referred to as Social Security taxes.
Congress sets the tax rate and the tax base for FICA taxes. When FICA taxes
were first imposed, the rate was 1% on the first $3,000 of gross earnings, or a max-
imum of $30 per year. The rate and base have changed dramatically since that time!
In 2007, the rate was 7.65% (6.2% Social Security plus 1.45% Medicare) on the
first $97,500 of gross earnings for each employee.1 For purpose of illustration in
this chapter, we will assume a rate of 8% on the first $97,500 of gross earnings, or a
maximum of $7,800. Using the 8% rate, the FICA withholding for Jordan for the
weekly pay period ending January 14 is $44.16 ($552 � 8%).

INCOME TAXES
Under the U.S. pay-as-you-go system of federal income taxes, employers are
required to withhold income taxes from employees each pay period. Three variables
determine the amount to be withheld: (1) the employee’s gross earnings; (2) the
number of allowances claimed by the employee; and (3) the length of the pay
period.
The number of allowances claimed typically includes the employee, his or her
spouse, and other dependents. To indicate to the Internal Revenue Service the
number of allowances claimed, the employee must complete an Employee’s
Withholding Allowance Certificate (Form W-4). As shown in Illustration D-5,
Michael Jordan claims two allowances on his W-4.

Withholding tables furnished by the Internal Revenue Service indicate the
amount of income tax to be withheld. Withholding amounts are based on gross
wages and the number of allowances claimed. Separate tables are provided for
weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly pay periods. Illustration D-6 (next
page) shows the withholding tax table for Michael Jordan (assuming he earns
$552 per week and claims two allowances). For a weekly salary of $552 with two
allowances, the income tax to be withheld is $49.
In addition, most states (and some cities) require employers to withhold
income taxes from employees’ earnings. As a rule, the amounts withheld are a per-
centage (specified in the state revenue code) of the amount withheld for the fed-
eral income tax. Or they may be a specified percentage of the employee’s earnings.
For the sake of simplicity, we have assumed that Jordan’s wages are subject to state
income taxes of 2%, or $11.04 (2% � $552) per week.
There is no limit on the amount of gross earnings subject to income tax with-
holdings. In fact, under our progressive system of taxation, the higher the earnings,
the higher the percentage of income withheld for taxes.
OTHER DEDUCTIONS
Employees may voluntarily authorize withholdings for charitable, retirement, and
other purposes. All voluntary deductions from gross earnings should be authorized
in writing by the employee. The authorization(s) may be made individually or as
part of a group plan. Deductions for charitable organizations, such as the United
Way, or for financial arrangements, such as U.S. savings bonds and repayment of

loans from company credit unions, are made individually. Deductions for union
dues, health and life insurance, and pension plans are often made on a group basis.
We will assume that Jordan has weekly voluntary deductions of $10 for the United
Way and $5 for union dues.
Net Pay
Academy Company determines net pay by subtracting payroll deductions from
gross earnings. Illustration D-7 shows the computation of Jordan’s net pay for the
pay period.

Computation of net pay
Assuming that Michael Jordan’s wages for each week during the year are $552,
total wages for the year are $28,704 (52 � $552). Thus, all of Jordan’s wages are sub-
ject to FICA tax during the year. In comparison, let’s assume that Jordan’s depart-
ment head earns $2,000 per week, or $104,000 for the year. Since only the first
$97,500 is subject to FICA taxes, the maximum FICA withholdings on the depart-
ment head’s earnings would be $7,800 ($97,500 � 8%).

Recording the payroll involves maintaining payroll department records, recogniz-
ing payroll expenses and liabilities, and recording payment of the payroll.
Maintaining Payroll Department Records
To comply with state and federal laws, an employer must keep a cumulative record
of each employee’s gross earnings, deductions, and net pay during the year. The
record that provides this information is the employee earnings record. Illustration
D-8 shows Michael Jordan’s employee earnings record.

RECORDING THE PAYROLL
Companies keep a separate earnings record for each employee, and update these
records after each pay period. The employer uses the cumulative payroll data on the
earnings record to: (1) determine when an employee has earned the maximum earn-
ings subject to FICA taxes, (2) file state and federal payroll tax returns (as explained
later), and (3) provide each employee with a statement of gross earnings and tax
withholdings for the year. (Illustration D-12 on page D13 shows this statement.)
In addition to employee earnings records, many companies find it useful to
prepare a payroll register. This record accumulates the gross earnings, deductions,
and net pay by employee for each pay period. It provides the documentation for
preparing a paycheck for each employee. Illustration D-9 (next page) presents
Academy Company’s payroll register. It shows the data for Michael Jordan in the
wages section. In this example, Academy Company’s total weekly payroll is
$17,210, as shown in the gross earnings column.
Note that this record is a listing of each employee’s payroll data for the pay pe-
riod. In some companies, a payroll register is a journal or book of original entry;

postings are made from the payroll register directly to ledger accounts. In other
companies, the payroll register is a memorandum record that provides the data for
a general journal entry and subsequent posting to the ledger accounts. At Academy
Company, the latter procedure is followed.
Recognizing Payroll Expenses and Liabilities
From the payroll register in Illustration D-9, Academy Company makes a journal
entry to record the payroll. For the week ending January 14 the entry is:
Jan. 14 Office Salaries Expense 5,200.00
Wages Expense 12,010.00
FICA Taxes Payable 1,376.80
Federal Income Taxes Payable 3,490.00
State Income Taxes Payable 344.20
United Way Payable 421.50
Union Dues Payable 115.00
Salaries and Wages Payable 11,462.50
(To record payroll for the week ending
January 14)
The company credits specific liability accounts for the mandatory and voluntary
deductions made during the pay period. In the example, Academy debits Office
Salaries Expense for the gross earnings of salaried office workers, and it debits
Wages Expense for the gross earnings of employees who are paid at an hourly rate.
Other companies may debit other accounts such as Store Salaries or Sales Salaries.
The amount credited to Salaries and Wages Payable is the sum of the individual
checks the employees will receive.

Recording Payment of the Payroll
A company makes payments by check (or electronic funds transfer) either from its
regular bank account or a payroll bank account. Each paycheck is usually accompa-
nied by a detachable statement of earnings document.This shows the employee’s gross
earnings, payroll deductions, and net pay, both for the period and for the year-to-date.
Academy Company uses its regular bank account for payroll checks. Illustration D-10
shows the paycheck and statement of earnings for Michael Jordan.
Following payment of the payroll, the company enters the check numbers in
the payroll register. Academy Company records payment of the payroll as follows.
Jan. 14 Salaries and Wages Payable 11,462.50
Cash 11,462.50
(To record payment of payroll)
When a company uses currency in payment, it prepares one check for the pay-
roll’s total amount of net pay. The company cashes this check, and inserts the coins
and currency in individual pay envelopes for disbursement to individual employees.

Payroll tax expense for businesses results from three taxes that govern-
mental agencies levy on employers. These taxes are: (1) FICA, (2) federal
unemployment tax, and (3) state unemployment tax. These taxes plus such
items as paid vacations and pensions (discussed in the appendix to this
chapter) are collectively referred to as fringe benefits. As indicated earlier, the cost
of fringe benefits in many companies is substantial. The pie chart in the margin
shows the pieces of the benefits “pie.”
FICA Taxes
Each employee must pay FICA taxes. In addition, employers must match each
employee’s FICA contribution. The matching contribution results in payroll tax
expense to the employer. The employer’s tax is subject to the same rate and maxi-
mum earnings as the employee’s. The company uses the same account, FICA Taxes
Payable, to record both the employee’s and the employer’s FICA contributions.
For the January 14 payroll, Academy Company’s FICA tax contribution is
$1,376.80 ($17,210.00 � 8%).
Federal Unemployment Taxes
The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) is another feature of the federal
Social Security program. Federal unemployment taxes provide benefits for a lim-
ited period of time to employees who lose their jobs through no fault of their
own. The FUTA tax rate is 6.2% of taxable wages. The taxable wage base is the
first $7,000 of wages paid to each employee in a calendar year. Employers who

Your cousin Stan is establishing a house-cleaning business and will have a num-
ber of employees working for him. He is aware that documentation procedures
are an important part of internal control. But he is unsure about the difference
between an employee earnings record and a payroll register. He asks you to
explain the principal differences, because he wants to be sure that he sets up the
proper payroll procedures.
Action Plan
■ Determine the earnings and deductions data that must be recorded and re-
ported for each employee.
■ Design a record that will accumulate earnings and deductions data and will
serve as a basis for journal entries to be prepared and posted to the general
ledger accounts.
■ Explain the difference between the employee earnings record and the payroll
register.
Solution An employee earnings record is kept for each employee. It shows
gross earnings, payroll deductions, and net pay for each pay period, as well
as cumulative payroll data for that employee. In contrast, a payroll register
is a listing of all employees’ gross earnings, payroll deductions, and net pay
for each pay period. It is the documentation for preparing paychecks and for
recording the payroll. Of course, Stan will need to keep both documents.

pay the state unemployment tax on a timely basis will receive an offset credit of
up to 5.4%. Therefore, the net federal tax rate is generally 0.8% (6.2%–5.4%).
This rate would equate to a maximum of $56 of federal tax per employee per year
(.008 � $7,000). State tax rates are based on state law.
The employer bears the entire federal unemployment tax. There is no deduction
or withholding from employees. Companies use the account Federal Unemployment
Taxes Payable to recognize this liability. The federal unemployment tax for
Academy Company for the January 14 payroll is $137.68 ($17,210.00 � 0.8%).
State Unemployment Taxes
All states have unemployment compensation programs under state unemployment
tax acts (SUTA). Like federal unemployment taxes, state unemployment taxes pro-
vide benefits to employees who lose their jobs. These taxes are levied on employers.2
The basic rate is usually 5.4% on the first $7,000 of wages paid to an employee during
the year.The state adjusts the basic rate according to the employer’s experience rating:
Companies with a history of stable employment may pay less than 5.4%. Companies
with a history of unstable employment may pay more than the basic rate. Regardless
of the rate paid, the company’s credit on the federal unemployment tax is still 5.4%.
Companies use the account State Unemployment Taxes Payable for this liabil-
ity. The state unemployment tax for Academy Company for the January 14 payroll
is $929.34 ($17,210.00 � 5.4%). Illustration D-11 summarizes the types of em-
ployer payroll taxes.

In a few states, the employee is also required to make a contribution. In this textbook, including
the homework, we will assume that the tax is only on the employer.

Recording Employer Payroll Taxes
Companies usually record employer payroll taxes at the same time they record the
payroll. The entire amount of gross pay ($17,210.00) shown in the payroll register
in Illustration D-9 is subject to each of the three taxes mentioned above.
Accordingly, Academy records the payroll tax expense associated with the January
14 payroll with the entry shown on page D13.

Jan. 14 Payroll Tax Expense 2,443.82
FICA Taxes Payable 1,376.80
Federal Unemployment Taxes Payable 137.68
State Unemployment Taxes Payable 929.34
(To record employer’s payroll taxes on
January 14 payroll)
Note that Academy uses separate liability accounts instead of a single credit to
Payroll Taxes Payable. Why? Because these liabilities are payable to different tax-
ing authorities at different dates. Companies classify the liability accounts in the
balance sheet as current liabilities since they will be paid within the next year. They
classify Payroll Tax Expense on the income statement as an operating expense.

FILING AND REMITTING PAYROLL TAXES
Preparation of payroll tax returns is the responsibility of the payroll department.
The treasurer’s department makes the tax payment. Much of the information for
the returns is obtained from employee earnings records.
For purposes of reporting and remitting to the IRS, the Company combines the
FICA taxes and federal income taxes that it withheld. Companies must report the
taxes quarterly, no later than one month following the close of each quarter. The
remitting requirements depend on the amount of taxes withheld and the length of
the pay period. Companies remit funds through deposits in either a Federal
Reserve bank or an authorized commercial bank.
Companies generally file and remit federal unemployment taxes annually on
or before January 31 of the subsequent year. Earlier payments are required when
the tax exceeds a specified amount. Companies usually must file and pay state
unemployment taxes by the end of the month following each quarter. When payroll
taxes are paid, companies debit payroll liability accounts, and credit Cash.
Employers also must provide each employee with a Wage and Tax Statement
(Form W-2) by January 31 following the end of a calendar year. This statement
shows gross earnings, FICA taxes withheld, and income taxes withheld for the
year. The required W-2 form for Michael Jordan, using assumed annual data, is
shown in Illustration D-12. The employer must send a copy of each employee’s

1 Discuss the objectives of internal control for payroll.
The objectives of internal control for payroll are (1) to
safeguard company assets against unauthorized payments
of payrolls, and (2) to ensure the accuracy and reliability of
the accounting records pertaining to payrolls.
2 Compute and record the payroll for a pay period. The
computation of the payroll involves gross earnings, payroll
deductions, and net pay. In recording the payroll, Salaries
(or Wages) Expense is debited for gross earnings, individ-
ual tax and other liability accounts are credited for payroll
deductions, and Salaries (Wages) Payable is credited for
net pay. When the payroll is paid, Salaries and Wages
Payable is debited, and Cash is credited.
3 Describe and record employer payroll taxes. Employer
payroll taxes consist of FICA, federal unemployment taxes,
and state unemployment taxes. The taxes are usually
accrued at the time the payroll is recorded by debiting
Payroll Tax Expense and crediting separate liability
accounts for each type of tax.

PD-1A The payroll procedures used by three different companies are described below.
1. In Brewer Company each employee is required to mark on a clock card the hours
worked. At the end of each pay period, the employee must have this clock card
approved by the department manager. The approved card is then given to the payroll
department by the employee. Subsequently, the treasurer’s department pays the
employee by check.
2. In Hilyard Computer Company clock cards and time clocks are used. At the end of each
pay period, the department manager initials the cards, indicates the rates of pay, and sends
them to payroll. A payroll register is prepared from the cards by the payroll department.
Cash equal to the total net pay in each department is given to the department manager,
who pays the employees in cash.
3. In Hyun-chan Company employees are required to record hours worked by “punching”
clock cards in a time clock. At the end of each pay period, the clock cards are collected by
the department manager. The manager prepares a payroll register in duplicate and
forwards the original to payroll. In payroll, the summaries are checked for mathematical
accuracy, and a payroll supervisor pays each employee by check.

PD-1B Selected payroll procedures of Wallace Company are described below.
1. Department managers interview applicants and on the basis of the interview either hire or
reject the applicants. When an applicant is hired, the applicant fills out a W-4 form
(Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate). One copy of the form is sent to the
human resources department, and one copy is sent to the payroll department as notice that
the individual has been hired. On the copy of the W-4 sent to payroll, the managers manually
indicate the hourly pay rate for the new hire.
2. The payroll checks are manually signed by the chief accountant and given to the department
managers for distribution to employees in their department. The managers are responsible for
seeing that any absent employees receive their checks.
3. There are two clerks in the payroll department. The payroll is divided alphabetically; one
clerk has employees A to L and the other has employees M to Z. Each clerk computes the
gross earnings, deductions, and net pay for employees in the section and posts the data to
the employee earnings records.

CRITICAL THINKING
Decision Making Across the Organization
BYPD-2 Summerville Processing Company provides word-processing services for business
clients and students in a university community. The work for business clients is fairly steady
throughout the year. The work for students peaks significantly in December and May as a re-
sult of term papers, research project reports, and dissertations.
Two years ago, the company attempted to meet the peak demand by hiring part-time help.
However, this led to numerous errors and considerable customer dissatisfaction. A year ago, the
company hired four experienced employees on a permanent basis instead of using part-time
help. This proved to be much better in terms of productivity and customer satisfaction. But, it has
caused an increase in annual payroll costs and a significant decline in annual net income.
Recently, Valarie Flynn, a sales representative of Davidson Services Inc., has made a pro-
posal to the company. Under her plan, Davidson Services will provide up to four experienced
workers at a daily rate of $80 per person for an 8-hour workday. Davidson workers are not avail-
able on an hourly basis. Summerville Processing would have to pay only the daily rate for the
workers used.
The owner of Summerville Processing, Nancy Bell, asks you, as the company’s accountant,
to prepare a report on the expenses that are pertinent to the decision. If the Davidson plan is
adopted, Nancy will terminate the employment of two permanent employees and will keep two
permanent employees. At the moment, each employee earns an annual income of $22,000.
Summerville Processing pays 8% FICA taxes, 0.8% federal unemployment taxes, and 5.4% state
unemployment taxes. The unemployment taxes apply to only the first $7,000 of gross earnings. In
addition, Summerville Processing pays $40 per month for each employee for medical and dental
insurance.
Nancy indicates that if the Davidson Services plan is accepted, her needs for workers will be
as follows.
Working
Months Number Days per Month
January–March 2 20
April–May 3 25
June–October 2 18
November–December 3 23
Instructions
With the class divided into groups, answer the following.
(a) Prepare a report showing the comparative payroll expense of continuing to employ per-
manent workers compared to adopting the Davidson Services Inc. plan.
(b) What other factors should Nancy consider before finalizing her decision?
Communication Activity
BYPD-3 Ivan Blanco, president of the Blue Sky Company, has recently hired a number of

payroll tax expense to Blue Sky Company.
Ethics Case
BYPD-4 Johnny Fuller owns and manages Johnny’s Restaurant, a 24-hour restaurant near the
city’s medical complex. Johnny employs 9 full-time employees and 16 part-time employees. He
pays all of the full-time employees by check, the amounts of which are determined by Johnny’s
public accountant, Mary Lake. Johnny pays all of his part-time employees in cash. He computes
their wages and withdraws the cash directly from his cash register.
Mary has repeatedly urged Johnny to pay all employees by check. But as Johnny has told his
competitor and friend, Steve Hill, who owns the Greasy Diner, “First of all, my part-time em-
ployees prefer the cash over a check, and secondly I don’t withhold or pay any taxes or work-
men’s compensation insurance on those wages because they go totally unrecorded and
unnoticed.”
Instructions
(a) Who are the stakeholders in this situation?
(b) What are the legal and ethical considerations regarding Johnny’s handling of his payroll?
(c) Mary Lake is aware of Johnny’s payment of the part-time payroll in cash. What are her
ethical responsibilities in this case?
(d) What internal control principle is violated in this payroll process?

Subsidiary Ledgers
and Special Journals
Appendix E
SECTION 1 Expanding the Ledger—
Subsidiary Ledgers
After studying this appendix, you should be able to:
1. Describe the nature and purpose of a subsidiary ledger.
2. Explain how companies use special journals in journalizing.
3. Indicate how companies post a multi-column journal.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E S
NATURE AND PURPOSE OF
SUBSIDIARY LEDGERS
Imagine a business that has several thousand charge (credit) customers
and shows the transactions with these customers in only one general
ledger account—Accounts Receivable. It would be nearly impossible to
determine the balance owed by an individual customer at any specific
time. Similarly, the amount payable to one creditor would be difficult to locate
quickly from a single Accounts Payable account in the general ledger.
Instead, companies use subsidiary ledgers to keep track of individual balances.
A subsidiary ledger is a group of accounts with a common characteristic (for example,
all accounts receivable). It is an addition to, and an expansion of, the general ledger.
The subsidiary ledger frees the general ledger from the details of individual balances.
Two common subsidiary ledgers are:
1. The accounts receivable (or customers’) subsidiary ledger, which collects trans-
action data of individual customers.
2. The accounts payable (or creditors’) subsidiary ledger, which collects transac-
tion data of individual creditors.
In each of these subsidiary ledgers, companies usually arrange individual accounts
in alphabetical order.
A general ledger account summarizes the detailed data from a subsidiary
ledger. For example, the detailed data from the accounts receivable subsidiary
ledger are summarized in Accounts Receivable in the general ledger. The gen-
eral ledger account that summarizes subsidiary ledger data is called a control
account. Illustration E-1 (page E2) presents an overview of the relationship of sub-
sidiary ledgers to the general ledger. There, the general ledger control accounts and
subsidiary ledger accounts are in green. Note that cash and owner’s capital in this
Describe the nature and purpose
of a subsidiary ledger.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E 1

illustration are not control accounts because there are no subsidiary ledger accounts
related to these accounts.
At the end of an accounting period, each general ledger control account bal-
ance must equal the composite balance of the individual accounts in the related
subsidiary ledger. For example, the balance in Accounts Payable in Illustration E-1
must equal the total of the subsidiary balances of Creditors X � Y � Z.

Pujols can reconcile the total debits ($12,000) and credits ($8,000) in Accounts
Receivable in the general ledger to the detailed debits and credits in the subsidiary
accounts. Also, the balance of $4,000 in the control account agrees with the total of
the balances in the individual accounts (Aaron Co. $2,000 � Branden Inc. $0 �
Caron Co. $2,000) in the subsidiary ledger.
As Illustration E-2 shows, companies make monthly postings to the control ac-
counts in the general ledger. This practice allows them to prepare monthly financial
statements. Companies post to the individual accounts in the subsidiary ledger
daily. Daily posting ensures that account information is current. This enables the
company to monitor credit limits, bill customers, and answer inquiries from cus-
tomers about their account balances.
Advantages of Subsidiary Ledgers
Subsidiary ledgers have several advantages:
1. They show in a single account transactions affecting one customer or one cred-
itor, thus providing up-to-date information on specific account balances.
2. They free the general ledger of excessive details. As a result, a trial balance of the
general ledger does not contain vast numbers of individual account balances.
3. They help locate errors in individual accounts by reducing the number of ac-
counts in one ledger and by using control accounts.
4. They make possible a division of labor in posting. One employee can post to
the general ledger while someone else posts to the subsidiary ledgers.

SECTION 2 Expanding the Journal—
Special Journals
So far you have learned to journalize transactions in a two-column general
journal and post each entry to the general ledger. This procedure is satisfac-
tory in only the very smallest companies. To expedite journalizing and post-
ing, most companies use special journals in addition to the general journal.
Companies use special journals to record similar types of transactions.
Examples are all sales of merchandise on account, or all cash receipts. The types of
transactions that occur frequently in a company determine what special journals
the company uses. Most merchandising enterprises record daily transactions using
the journals shown in Illustration E-4.
Explain how companies use
special journals in journalizing.

Used for:
If a transaction cannot be recorded in a special journal, the company records it in
the general journal. For example, if a company had special journals for only the four
types of transactions listed above, it would record purchase returns and allowances in
the general journal. Similarly, correcting, adjusting, and closing entries are recorded
in the general journal. In some situations, companies might use special journals other
than those listed above. For example, when sales returns and allowances are fre-
quent, a company might use a special journal to record these transactions.
Special journals permit greater division of labor because several people can
record entries in different journals at the same time. For example, one employee
may journalize all cash receipts, and another may journalize all credit sales. Also,
the use of special journals reduces the time needed to complete the posting
process. With special journals, companies may post some accounts monthly, instead
of daily, as we will illustrate later in the chapter. On the following pages, we discuss
the four special journals shown in Illustration E-4.

In the sales journal, companies record sales of merchandise on account. Cash sales
of merchandise go in the cash receipts journal. Credit sales of assets other than
merchandise go in the general journal.
Journalizing Credit Sales
To demonstrate use of a sales journal, we will use data for Karns Wholesale Supply,
which uses a perpetual inventory system. Under this system, each entry in the sales
journal results in one entry at selling price and another entry at cost. The entry at
selling price is a debit to Accounts Receivable (a control account) and a credit of
equal amount to Sales. The entry at cost is a debit to Cost of Goods Sold and a
credit of equal amount to Merchandise Inventory (a control account). Using a sales
journal with two amount columns, the company can show on only one line a sales
transaction at both selling price and cost. Illustration E-5 shows this two-column
sales journal of Karns Wholesale Supply, using assumed credit sales transactions
(for sales invoices 101–107).

Journalizing the sales
journal—perpetual
inventory system
Note several points: Unlike the general journal, an explanation is not required
for each entry in a special journal. Also, use of prenumbered invoices ensures that
all invoices are journalized. Finally, the reference (Ref.) column is not used in jour-
nalizing. It is used in posting the sales journal, as explained next.
Posting the Sales Journal
Companies make daily postings from the sales journal to the individual accounts
receivable in the subsidiary ledger. Posting to the general ledger is done monthly.
Illustration E-6 (page E6) shows both the daily and monthly postings.
A check mark (✓) is inserted in the reference posting column to indicate that
the daily posting to the customer’s account has been made. If the subsidiary ledger
accounts were numbered, the account number would be entered in place of the
check mark. At the end of the month, Karns posts the column totals of the sales

journal to the general ledger. Here, the column totals are as follows: From the selling-
price column, a debit of $90,230 to Accounts Receivable (account No. 112), and a
credit of $90,230 to Sales (account No. 401). From the cost column, a debit of
$62,190 to Cost of Goods Sold (account No. 505), and a credit of $62,190 to
Merchandise Inventory (account No. 120). Karns inserts the account numbers

The subsidiary ledger is separate
from the general ledger.
Accounts Receivable is a control
account.
1The normal balance for Merchandise Inventory is a debit. But, because of the sequence in which we have posted the special journals,
with the sales journals first, the credits to Merchandise Inventory are posted before the debits. This posting sequence explains the credit
balance in Merchandise Inventory, which exists only until the other journals are posted.
Illustration E-6
Posting the sales journal

below the column totals to indicate that the postings have been made. In both the
general ledger and subsidiary ledger accounts, the reference S1 indicates that the
posting came from page 1 of the sales journal.
Proving the Ledgers
The next step is to “prove” the ledgers. To do so, Karns must determine two things:
(1) The total of the general ledger debit balances must equal the total of the gen-
eral ledger credit balances. (2) The sum of the subsidiary ledger balances must
equal the balance in the control account. Illustration E-7 shows the proof of the
postings from the sales journal to the general and subsidiary ledger.
Cash Receipts Journal E7
Advantages of the Sales Journal
Use of a special journal to record sales on account has several advantages. First, the
one-line entry for each sales transaction saves time. In the sales journal, it is not nec-
essary to write out the four account titles for each transaction. Second, only totals,
rather than individual entries, are posted to the general ledger. This saves posting
time and reduces the possibilities of posting errors. Finally, a division of labor re-
sults, because one individual can take responsibility for the sales journal.

CASH RECEIPTS JOURNAL
In the cash receipts journal, companies record all receipts of cash. The most com-
mon types of cash receipts are cash sales of merchandise and collections of
accounts receivable. Many other possibilities exist, such as receipt of money from
bank loans and cash proceeds from disposal of equipment. A one- or two-column
cash receipts journal would not have space enough for all possible cash receipt trans-
actions. Therefore, companies use a multiple-column cash receipts journal.
Generally, a cash receipts journal includes the following columns: debit columns
for Cash and Sales Discounts, and credit columns for Accounts Receivable, Sales, and
“Other” accounts. Companies use the “Other Accounts” category when the cash re-
ceipt does not involve a cash sale or a collection of accounts receivable. Under a per-
petual inventory system, each sales entry also is accompanied by an entry that debits
Cost of Goods Sold and credits Merchandise Inventory for the cost of the merchan-
dise sold. Illustration E-8 (page E8) shows a six-column cash receipts journal.

The company posts individual
amounts to the subsidiary ledger daily.
At the end of the accounting period, the
company posts totals to the general ledger.
Illustration E-8
Journalizing and posting the
cash receipts journal

Companies may use additional credit columns if these columns significantly
reduce postings to a specific account. For example, a loan company, such as
Household International, receives thousands of cash collections from customers.
Using separate credit columns for Loans Receivable and Interest Revenue, rather
than the Other Accounts credit column, would reduce postings.
Journalizing Cash Receipts Transactions
To illustrate the journalizing of cash receipts transactions, we will continue with the
May transactions of Karns Wholesale Supply. Collections from customers relate to
the entries recorded in the sales journal in Illustration E-5. The entries in the cash
receipts journal are based on the following cash receipts.
May 1 Stockholders invested $5,000 in the business.
7 Cash sales of merchandise total $1,900 (cost, $1,240).
10 Received a check for $10,388 from Abbot Sisters in payment of invoice No. 101 for
$10,600 less a 2% discount.
12 Cash sales of merchandise total $2,600 (cost, $1,690).
17 Received a check for $11,123 from Babson Co. in payment of invoice No. 102 for
$11,350 less a 2% discount.
22 Received cash by signing a note for $6,000.
23 Received a check for $7,644 from Carson Bros. in full for invoice No. 103 for $7,800
less a 2% discount.
28 Received a check for $9,114 from Deli Co. in full for invoice No. 104 for $9,300 less a
2% discount.
Further information about the columns in the cash receipts journal is listed below.
Debit Columns:
1. Cash. Karns enters in this column the amount of cash actually received in each
transaction. The column total indicates the total cash receipts for the month.
2. Sales Discounts. Karns includes a Sales Discounts column in its cash receipts
journal. By doing so, it does not need to enter sales discount items in the gen-
eral journal. As a result, the cash receipts journal shows on one line the collec-
tion of an account receivable within the discount period.
Credit Columns:
3. Accounts Receivable. Karns uses the Accounts Receivable column to record
cash collections on account. The amount entered here is the amount to be
credited to the individual customer’s account.
4. Sales. The Sales column records all cash sales of merchandise. Cash sales of
other assets (plant assets, for example) are not reported in this column.
5. Other Accounts. Karns uses the Other Accounts column whenever the credit is
other than to Accounts Receivable or Sales. For example, in the first entry,
Karns enters $5,000 as a credit to Common Stock. This column is often referred
to as the sundry accounts column.
Debit and Credit Column:
6. Cost of Goods Sold and Merchandise Inventory. This column records debits to
Cost of Goods Sold and credits to Merchandise Inventory.
In a multi-column journal, generally only one line is needed for each entry.
Debit and credit amounts for each line must be equal. When Karns journalizes the
collection from Abbot Sisters on May 10, for example, three amounts are indicated.
Note also that the Account Credited column identifies both general ledger and
subsidiary ledger account titles. General ledger accounts are illustrated in the May 1
Cash Receipts Journal E9
H E L P F U L H I N T
When is an account title
entered in the “Account
Credited” column of the
cash receipts journal?
Answer: A subsidiary
ledger account is entered
when the entry involves a
collection of accounts
receivable. A general
ledger account is entered
when the account is not
shown in a special
column (and an amount
must be entered in the
Other Accounts column).
Otherwise, no account is
shown in the “Account
Credited” column.

and May 22 entries. A subsidiary account is illustrated in the May 10 entry for the
collection from Abbot Sisters.
When Karns has finished journalizing a multi-column journal, it totals the
amount columns and compares the totals to prove the equality of debits and
credits. Illustration E-9 shows the proof of the equality of Karns’s cash receipts
journal.

Totaling the columns of a journal and proving the equality of the totals is called
footing and cross-footing a journal.
Posting the Cash Receipts Journal
Posting a multi-column journal involves the following steps.
1. At the end of the month, the company posts all column totals, except
for the Other Accounts total, to the account title(s) specified in the
column heading (such as Cash or Accounts Receivable). The company
then enters account numbers below the column totals to show that
they have been posted. For example, Karns has posted cash to account No. 101,
accounts receivable to account No. 112, merchandise inventory to account
No. 120, sales to account No. 401, sales discounts to account No. 414, and cost of
goods sold to account No. 505.
2. The company separately posts the individual amounts comprising the
Other Accounts total to the general ledger accounts specified in the
Account Credited column. See, for example, the credit posting to Common
Stock: The total amount of this column has not been posted. The symbol (X) is
inserted below the total to this column to indicate that the amount has not
been posted.
3. The individual amounts in a column, posted in total to a control account
(Accounts Receivable, in this case), are posted daily to the subsidiary ledger
account specified in the Account Credited column. See, for example, the credit
posting of $10,600 to Abbot Sisters.
The symbol CR, used in both the subsidiary and general ledgers, identifies postings
from the cash receipts journal.
Proving the Ledgers
After posting of the cash receipts journal is completed, Karns proves the ledgers.
As shown in Illustration E-10 (next page), the general ledger totals agree. Also, the
sum of the subsidiary ledger balances equals the control account balance.
Indicate how companies post a
multi-column journal.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E 3

In the purchases journal, companies record all purchases of merchandise on ac-
count. Each entry in this journal results in a debit to Merchandise Inventory and a
credit to Accounts Payable. Illustration E-11 (page E12) shows the purchases jour-
nal for Karns Wholesale Supply.
When using a one-column purchases journal (as in Illustration E-11), a com-
pany cannot journalize other types of purchases on account or cash purchases in it.
For example, using the purchases journal shown in Illustration E-11, Karns would
have to record credit purchases of equipment or supplies in the general journal.
Likewise, all cash purchases would be entered in the cash payments journal. As il-
lustrated later, companies that make numerous credit purchases for items other
than merchandise often expand the purchases journal to a multi-column format.
(See Illustration E-14 on page E13.)
Journalizing Credit Purchases of Merchandise
The journalizing procedure is similar to that for a sales journal. Companies make
entries in the purchases journal from purchase invoices. In contrast to the sales
journal, the purchases journal may not have an invoice number column, because
invoices received from different suppliers will not be in numerical sequence. To en-
sure that they record all purchase invoices, some companies consecutively number
each invoice upon receipt and then use an internal document number column in
the purchases journal. The entries for Karns Wholesale Supply are based on the
assumed credit purchases listed in Illustration E-12 (page E12).
Posting the Purchases Journal
The procedures for posting the purchases journal are similar to those for the sales
journal. In this case, Karns makes daily postings to the accounts payable ledger; it
makes monthly postings to Merchandise Inventory and Accounts Payable in the
general ledger. In both ledgers, Karns uses P1 in the reference column to show that
the postings are from page 1 of the purchases journal.
Proof of the equality of the postings from the purchases journal to both ledgers
is shown in Illustration E-13 (page E13).

Merchandise Inventory (debit)
Accounts Payable (credit)
In a cash payments (cash disbursements) journal, companies record all disburse-
ments of cash. Entries are made from prenumbered checks. Because companies
make cash payments for various purposes, the cash payments journal has multiple
columns. Illustration E-15 (page E14) shows a four-column journal.
Journalizing Cash Payments Transactions
The procedures for journalizing transactions in this journal are similar to those for
the cash receipts journal. Karns records each transaction on one line, and for each
line there must be equal debit and credit amounts. The entries in the cash payments

Expanding the Purchases Journal
As noted earlier, some companies expand the purchases journal to include all types
of purchases on account. Instead of one column for merchandise inventory and
accounts payable, they use a multiple-column format. This format usually includes a
credit column for Accounts Payable and debit columns for purchases of Merchandise
Inventory, Office Supplies, Store Supplies, and Other Accounts. Illustration E-14
shows a multi-column purchases journal for Hanover Co. The posting procedures are
similar to those shown earlier for posting the cash receipts journal.

Journalizing and posting the
cash payments journal

journal in Illustration E-15 are based on the following transactions for Karns
Wholesale Supply.
May 1 Issued check No. 101 for $1,200 for the annual premium on a fire insurance policy.
3 Issued check No. 102 for $100 in payment of freight when terms were FOB shipping
point.
8 Issued check No. 103 for $4,400 for the purchase of merchandise.
10 Sent check No. 104 for $10,780 to Jasper Manufacturing Inc. in payment of May 6 in-
voice for $11,000 less a 2% discount.
19 Mailed check No. 105 for $6,984 to Eaton and Howe Inc. in payment of May 10
invoice for $7,200 less a 3% discount.
23 Sent check No. 106 for $6,831 to Fabor and Son in payment of May 14 invoice for
$6,900 less a 1% discount.
28 Sent check No. 107 for $17,150 to Jasper Manufacturing Inc. in payment of May 19
invoice for $17,500 less a 2% discount.
30 Issued check No. 108 for $500 to stockholders as a dividend.
Note that whenever Karns enters an amount in the Other Accounts column, it must
identify a specific general ledger account in the Account Debited column. The entries
for checks No. 101, 102, 103, and 108 illustrate this situation. Similarly, Karns must
identify a subsidiary account in the Account Debited column whenever it enters an
amount in the Accounts Payable column. See, for example, the entry for check No. 104.
After Karns journalizes the cash payments journal, it totals the columns. The
totals are then balanced to prove the equality of debits and credits.
Posting the Cash Payments Journal
The procedures for posting the cash payments journal are similar to those for the
cash receipts journal. Karns posts the amounts recorded in the Accounts Payable col-
umn individually to the subsidiary ledger and in total to the control account. It posts
Merchandise Inventory and Cash only in total at the end of the month. Transactions
in the Other Accounts column are posted individually to the appropriate account(s)
affected. The company does not post totals for the Other Accounts column.
Illustration E-15 shows the posting of the cash payments journal. Note that Karns
uses the symbol CP as the posting reference. After postings are completed, the com-
pany proves the equality of the debit and credit balances in the general ledger. In ad-
dition, the control account balances should agree with the subsidiary ledger total bal-
ance. Illustration E-16 shows the agreement of these balances.

Proving the ledgers after
postings from the sales,
cash receipts, purchases,
and cash payments journals

Special journals for sales, purchases, and cash substantially reduce the number of
entries that companies make in the general journal. Only transactions that cannot
be entered in a special journal are recorded in the general journal. For example, a
company may use the general journal to record such transactions as granting of
credit to a customer for a sales return or allowance, granting of credit from a sup-
plier for purchases returned, acceptance of a note receivable from a customer, and
purchase of equipment by issuing a note payable. Also, correcting, adjusting, and
closing entries are made in the general journal.
The general journal has columns for date, account title and explanation, refer-
ence, and debit and credit amounts. When control and subsidiary accounts are not
involved, the procedures for journalizing and posting of transactions are the same
as those described in earlier chapters. When control and subsidiary accounts are in-
volved, companies make two changes from the earlier procedures:
1. In journalizing, they identify both the control and the subsidiary accounts.
2. In posting, there must be a dual posting: once to the control account and once
to the subsidiary account.

Journalizing and posting the
general journal

To illustrate, assume that on May 31, Karns Wholesale Supply returns $500 of
merchandise for credit to Fabor and Son. Illustration E-17 shows the entry in the
general journal and the posting of the entry. Note that if Karns receives cash
instead of credit on this return, then it would record the transaction in the cash
receipts journal.
Note that the general journal indicates two accounts (Accounts Payable, and
Fabor and Son) for the debit, and two postings (“201/✓”) in the reference column.
One debit is posted to the control account and another debit to the creditor’s
account in the subsidiary ledger.

Demonstration Problem
Cassandra Wilson Company uses a six-column cash receipts journal with the following
columns:
July 3 Cash sales total $5,800 (cost, $3,480).
5 Received a check for $6,370 from Jeltz Company in payment of an invoice dated
June 26 for $6,500, terms 2/10, n/30.
9 Stockholders made an additional investment of $5,000 cash in the business.
10 Cash sales total $12,519 (cost, $7,511).
12 Received a check for $7,275 from R. Eliot & Co. in payment of a $7,500 invoice
dated July 3, terms 3/10, n/30.
15 Received a customer advance of $700 cash for future sales.
20 Cash sales total $15,472 (cost, $9,283).
22 Received a check for $5,880 from Beck Company in payment of $6,000 invoice
dated July 13, terms 2/10, n/30.
29 Cash sales total $17,660 (cost, $10,596).
31 Received cash of $200 on interest earned for July.
Instructions
(a) Journalize the transactions in the cash receipts journal.
(b) Contrast the posting of the Accounts Receivable and Other Accounts columns.
Cash (Dr.)
Sales Discounts (Dr.)
Accounts Receivable (Cr.)
Sales (Cr.)
Cash receipts transactions for the month of July 2008 are as follows.
Other Accounts (Cr.)
Cost of Goods Sold (Dr.) and
Merchandise Inventory (Cr.)
action plan
✔ Record all cash receipts in
the cash receipts journal.
✔ The “account credited”
indicates items posted indi-
vidually to the subsidiary
ledger or general ledger.
✔ Record cash sales in the
cash receipts journal—not
in the sales journal.
✔ The total debits must
equal the total credits.

1 Describe the nature and purpose of a subsidiary
ledger. A subsidiary ledger is a group of accounts with a
common characteristic. It facilitates the recording process by
freeing the general ledger from details of individual balances.
2 Explain how companies use special journals in journal-
izing. Companies use special journals to group similar
types of transactions. In a special journal, generally only
one line is used to record a complete transaction.
3 Indicate how companies post a multi-column journal.
In posting a multi-column journal:
(a) Companies post all column totals except for the Other
Accounts column once at the end of the month to the
account title specified in the column heading.
(b) Companies do not post the total of the Other Accounts
column. Instead, the individual amounts comprising
the total are posted separately to the general ledger
accounts specified in the Account Credited (Debited)
column.
(c) The individual amounts in a column posted in total to a
control account are posted daily to the subsidiary ledger
accounts specified in the Account Credited (Debited)
column.
Accounts payable (creditors’) subsidiary ledger A sub-
sidiary ledger that collects transaction data of individual
creditors. (p. E1).
Accounts receivable (customers’) subsidiary ledger A
subsidiary ledger that collects transaction data of individual
customers. (p. E1).
Cash payments (disbursements) journal A special journal
that records all cash paid. (p. E13).
Cash receipts journal A special journal that records all
cash received. (p. E7).
Control account An account in the general ledger that sum-
marizes subsidiary ledger. (p. E1).

CRITICAL THINKING
Decision Making Across the Organization
BYPE-3 Hughey & Payne is a wholesaler of small appliances and parts. Hughey & Payne is
operated by two owners, Rich Hughey and Kristen Payne. In addition, the company has one
employee, a repair specialist, who is on a fixed salary. Revenues are earned through the sale of
appliances to retailers (approximately 75% of total revenues), appliance parts to do-it-yourselfers
(10%), and the repair of appliances brought to the store (15%). Appliance sales are made on
both a credit and cash basis. Customers are billed on prenumbered sales invoices. Credit terms
are always net/30 days. All parts sales and repair work are cash only.
Merchandise is purchased on account from the manufacturers of both the appliances and
the parts. Practically all suppliers offer cash discounts for prompt payments, and it is company
policy to take all discounts. Most cash payments are made by check. Checks are most fre-
quently issued to suppliers, to trucking companies for freight on merchandise purchases, and
to newspapers, radio, and TV stations for advertising. All advertising bills are paid as received.

Communication Activity
BYPE-4 Barb Doane, a classmate, has a part-time bookkeeping job. She is concerned about
the inefficiencies in journalizing and posting transactions. Jim Houser is the owner of the com-
pany where Barb works. In response to numerous complaints from Barb and others, Jim hired
two additional bookkeepers a month ago. However, the inefficiencies have continued at an even
higher rate. The accounting information system for the company has only a general journal and
a general ledger. Jim refuses to install an electronic accounting system.
Instructions
Now that Barb is an expert in manual accounting information systems, she decides to send a
letter to Jim Houser explaining (1) why the additional personnel did not help and (2) what
changes should be made to improve the efficiency of the accounting department. Write the let-
ter that you think Barb should send.
Ethics Case
BYPE-5 Roniger Products Company operates three divisions, each with its own manufactur-
ing plant and marketing/sales force. The corporate headquarters and central accounting office
are in Roniger, and the plants are in Freeport, Rockport, and Bayport, all within 50 miles of
Roniger. Corporate management treats each division as an independent profit center and en-
courages competition among them. They each have similar but different product lines. As a com-
petitive incentive, bonuses are awarded each year to the employees of the fastest growing and
most profitable division.
Jose Molina is the manager of Roniger’s centralized computer accounting operation that
enters the sales transactions and maintains the accounts receivable for all three divisions. Jose
came up in the accounting ranks from the Bayport division where his wife, several relatives, and
many friends still work.
As sales documents are entered into the computer, the originating division is identified
by code. Most sales documents (95%) are coded, but some (5%) are not coded or are coded
incorrectly. As the manager, Jose has instructed the data-entry personnel to assign the Bayport
code to all uncoded and incorrectly coded sales documents. This is done he says, “in order to
expedite processing and to keep the computer files current since they are updated daily.” All
receivables and cash collections for all three divisions are handled by Roniger as one subsidiary
accounts receivable ledger.

Other Significant Liabilities
Appendix F
In addition to the current and long-term liabilities discussed in Chapter 11, several
more types of liabilities may exist that could have a significant impact on a com-
pany’s financial position and future cash flows. These other significant liabilities
will be discussed in this appendix. They are: (a) contingent liabilities, (b) lease lia-
bilities, and (c) additional liabilities for employee fringe benefits (paid absences
and postretirement benefits).
After studying this appendix, you should be able to:
1. Describe the accounting and disclosure requirements for
contingent liabilities.
2. Contrast the accounting for operating and capital leases.
3. Identify additional fringe benefits associated with employee
compensation.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
With notes payable, interest payable, accounts payable, and sales taxes
payable, we know that an obligation to make a payment exists. But sup-
pose that your company is involved in a dispute with the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) over the amount of its income tax liability. Should you re-
port the disputed amount as a liability on the balance sheet? Or suppose
your company is involved in a lawsuit which, if you lose, might result in bankruptcy.
How should you report this major contingency? The answers to these questions are
difficult, because these liabilities are dependent—contingent—upon some future
event. In other words, a contingent liability is a potential liability that may become
an actual liability in the future.
How should companies report contingent liabilities? They use the following
guidelines:
1. If the contingency is probable (if it is likely to occur) and the amount can be
reasonably estimated, the liability should be recorded in the accounts.
2. If the contingency is only reasonably possible (if it could happen), then it needs
to be disclosed only in the notes that accompany the financial statements.
3. If the contingency is remote (if it is unlikely to occur), it need not be recorded
or disclosed.
Recording a Contingent Liability
Product warranties are an example of a contingent liability that companies should
record in the accounts. Warranty contracts result in future costs that companies
may incur in replacing defective units or repairing malfunctioning units. Generally,
Describe the accounting and
disclosure requirements for
contingent liabilities.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E 1

a manufacturer, such as Black & Decker, knows that it will incur some warranty
costs. From prior experience with the product, the company usually can reasonably
estimate the anticipated cost of servicing (honoring) the warranty.
The accounting for warranty costs is based on the matching principle. The esti-
mated cost of honoring product warranty contracts should be recognized as an ex-
pense in the period in which the sale occurs. To illustrate, assume that in 2008
Denson Manufacturing Company sells 10,000 washers and dryers at an average
price of $600 each. The selling price includes a one-year warranty on parts. Denson
expects that 500 units (5%) will be defective and that warranty repair costs will av-
erage $80 per unit. In 2008, the company honors warranty contracts on 300 units, at
a total cost of $24,000.
At December 31, it is necessary to accrue the estimated warranty costs on the
2008 sales. Denson computes the estimated warranty liability as follows.
F2 Appendix F Other Significant Liabilities
Number of units sold 10,000
Estimated rate of defective units � 5%
Total estimated defective units 500
Average warranty repair cost � $80
Estimated product warranty liability $40,000
Illustration F-1
Computation of estimated
product warranty liability
The company makes the following adjusting entry.
Dec. 31 Warranty Expense 40,000
Estimated Warranty Liability 40,000
(To accrue estimated warranty costs)
Denson records those repair costs incurred in 2008 to honor warranty contracts
on 2008 sales as shown below.
Jan. 1� Estimated Warranty Liability 24,000
Dec. 31 Repair Parts 24,000
(To record honoring of 300 warranty
contracts on 2008 sales)
The company reports warranty expense of $40,000 under selling expenses in the
income statement. It classifies estimated warranty liability of $16,000 ($40,000 �
$24,000) as a current liability on the balance sheet.
In the following year, Denson should debit to Estimated Warranty Liability
all expenses incurred in honoring warranty contracts on 2008 sales. To illustrate,
assume that the company replaces 20 defective units in January 2009, at an aver-
age cost of $80 in parts and labor. The summary entry for the month of January
2009 is:
Jan. 31 Estimated Warranty Liability 1,600
Repair Parts 1,600
(To record honoring of 20 warranty
contracts on 2008 sales)
Disclosure of Contingent Liabilities
When it is probable that a company will incur a contingent liability but it cannot
reasonably estimate the amount, or when the contingent liability is only reasonably
possible, only disclosure of the contingency is required. Examples of contingencies

that may require disclosure are pending or threatened lawsuits and assessment of
additional income taxes pending an IRS audit of the tax return.
The disclosure should identify the nature of the item and, if known, the amount
of the contingency and the expected outcome of the future event. Disclosure is usu-
ally accomplished through a note to the financial statements, as illustrated by the
following.
Lease Liabilities F3
The required disclosure for contingencies is a good example of the use of the
full-disclosure principle. The full-disclosure principle requires that companies dis-
close all circumstances and events that would make a difference to financial state-
ment users. Some important financial information, such as contingencies, is not eas-
ily reported in the financial statements. Reporting information on contingencies in
the notes to the financial statements will help investors be aware of events that can
affect the financial health of a company.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Contingencies. From time to time, third parties assert patent infringement claims against
the company. Currently the company is engaged in several lawsuits regarding patent issues
and has been notified of a number of other potential patent disputes. In addition, from time
to time the company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course
of business, including claims for infringement of trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual
property rights…. The Company does not believe, based on current knowledge, that any of
the foregoing legal proceedings or claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

LEASE LIABILITIES
A lease is a contractual arrangement between a lessor (owner of a property)
and a lessee (renter of the property). It grants the right to use specific
property for a period of time in return for cash payments. Leasing is big
business. U.S. companies leased an estimated $125 billion of capital equip-
ment in a recent year. This represents approximately one-third of equipment
financed that year. The two most common types of leases are operating leases and
capital leases.
Operating Leases
The renting of an apartment and the rental of a car at an airport are examples of
operating leases. In an operating lease the intent is temporary use of the property
by the lessee, while the lessor continues to own the property.
In an operating lease, the lessee records the lease (or rental) payments as an
expense. The lessor records the payments as revenue. For example, assume that a
sales representative for Western Inc. leases a car from Hertz Car Rental at the Los
Angeles airport and that Hertz charges a total of $275. Western, the lessee, records
the rental as follows:
Car Rental Expense 275
Cash 275

operating and capital leases.

The lessee may incur other costs during the lease period. For example, in the case
above, Western will generally incur costs for gas. Western would report these costs
as an expense.
Capital Leases
In most lease contracts, the lessee makes a periodic payment and records that
payment in the income statement as rent expense. In some cases, however, the
lease contract transfers to the lessee substantially all the benefits and risks of
ownership. Such a lease is in effect a purchase of the property. This type of lease
is a capital lease. Its name comes from the fact that the company capitalizes the
present value of the cash payments for the lease and records that amount as an
asset. Illustration F-3 indicates the major difference between operating and
capital leases.
F4 Appendix F Other Significant Liabilities
If any one of the following conditions exists, the lessee must record a lease as
an asset—that is, as a capital lease:
1. The lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee. Rationale: If during
the lease term the lessee receives ownership of the asset, the lessee should re-
port the leased asset as an asset on its books.
2. The lease contains a bargain purchase option. Rationale: If during the term of
the lease the lessee can purchase the asset at a price substantially below its fair
market value, the lessee will exercise this option. Thus, the lessee should report
the lease as a leased asset on its books.
3. The lease term is equal to 75% or more of the economic life of the leased prop-
erty. Rationale: If the lease term is for much of the asset’s useful life, the lessee
should report the asset as a leased asset on its books.
4. The present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds 90% of the fair mar-
ket value of the leased property. Rationale: If the present value of the lease
payments is equal to or almost equal to the fair market value of the asset, the
lessee has essentially purchased the asset. As a result, the lessee should report
the leased asset as an asset on its books.
H E L P F U L H I N T
A capital lease situation
is one that, although
legally a rental case, is in
substance an installment
purchase by the lessee.
Accounting standards re-
quire that substance over
form be used in such a
situation.

To illustrate, assume that Gonzalez Company decides to lease new equipment.
The lease period is four years; the economic life of the leased equipment is esti-
mated to be five years. The present value of the lease payments is $190,000, which
is equal to the fair market value of the equipment. There is no transfer of owner-
ship during the lease term, nor is there any bargain purchase option.
In this example, Gonzalez has essentially purchased the equipment. Conditions
3 and 4 have been met. First, the lease term is 75% or more of the economic life of
the asset. Second, the present value of cash payments is equal to the equipment’s
fair market value. Gonzalez records the transaction as follows.
Leased Asset—Equipment 190,000
Lease Liability 190,000
(To record leased asset and lease liability)
The lessee reports a leased asset on the balance sheet under plant assets. It re-
ports the lease liability on the balance sheet as a liability. The portion of the lease
liability expected to be paid in the next year is a current liability. The remainder is
classified as a long-term liability.
Most lessees do not like to report leases on their balance sheets. Why?
Because the lease liability increases the company’s total liabilities. This, in
turn, may make it more difficult for the company to obtain needed funds
from lenders. As a result, companies attempt to keep leased assets and
lease liabilities off the balance sheet by structuring leases so as not to meet
any of the four conditions mentioned on page F4. The practice of keeping
liabilities off the balance sheet is referred to as off-balance-sheet financing.

ADDITIONAL LIABILITIES FOR EMPLOYEE
FRINGE BENEFITS
In addition to the three payroll tax fringe benefits discussed in Appendix
D (FICA taxes and state and federal unemployment taxes), employers in-
cur other substantial fringe benefit costs. Indeed, fringe benefits have been
growing faster than pay. In a recent year, benefits equaled 38 percent of
wages and salaries. While vacations and other forms of paid leave still take
the biggest bite out of the benefits pie, as shown in Illustration F-4, medical costs
are the fastest-growing item.
Illustration F-4
The fringe benefits pieBENEFITS
3% Disability and life insurance
23% Legally required benefits
such as Social Security
24% Medical benefits
37% Vacation and other benefits
such as parental and sick leaves, child care
13% Retirement income
such as pensions
We discuss two of the most important fringe benefits—paid absences and
postretirement benefits—in this section.
Identify additional fringe benefits
associated with employee
compensation.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E 3

Paid Absences
Employees often are given rights to receive compensation for absences when cer-
tain conditions of employment are met. The compensation may be for paid vaca-
tions, sick pay benefits, and paid holidays. When the payment for such absences is
probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a liability should be ac-
crued for paid future absences. When the amount cannot be reasonably estimated,
companies should instead disclose the potential liability. Ordinarily, vacation pay is
the only paid absence that is accrued. The other types of paid absences are only
disclosed.1
To illustrate, assume that Academy Company employees are entitled to one
day’s vacation for each month worked. If 30 employees earn an average of $110 per
day in a given month, the accrual for vacation benefits in one month is $3,300. The
liability is recognized at the end of the month by the following adjusting entry.
Jan. 31 Vacation Benefits Expense 3,300
Vacation Benefits Payable 3,300
(To accrue vacation benefits expense)
This accrual is required by the matching principle. Academy would report Vacation
Benefits Expense as an operating expense in the income statement, and Vacation
Benefits Payable as a current liability in the balance sheet.
Later, when Academy pays vacation benefits, it debits Vacation Benefits
Payable and credits Cash. For example, if the above benefits for 10 employees are
paid in July, the entry is:
July 31 Vacation Benefits Payable 1,100
Cash 1,100
(To record payment of vacation benefits)
The magnitude of unpaid absences has gained employers’ attention. Consider
the case of an assistant superintendent of schools who worked for 20 years and
rarely took a vacation or sick day. A month or so before she retired, the school dis-
trict discovered that she was due nearly $30,000 in accrued benefits. Yet the school
district had never accrued the liability.
Postretirement Benefits
Postretirement benefits are benefits provided by employers to retired employees
for (1) health care and life insurance and (2) pensions. For many years the
accounting for postretirement benefits was on a cash basis. Companies now ac-
count for both types of postretirement benefits on the accrual basis. The cost of
postretirement benefits is getting steep. For example, General Motor’s pension and
health-care costs for retirees in a recent year totaled $6.2 billion, or approximately
$1,784 per vehicle produced.
The average American has debt of approximately $10,000 (not counting the
mortgage on their home) and has little in the way of savings. What will happen at
retirement for these people? The picture is not pretty—people are living longer,
the future of Social Security is unclear, and companies are cutting back on post-
retirement benefits. This situation may lead to one of the great social and moral
dilemmas this country faces in the next 40 years. The more you know about post-

retirement benefits, the better you will understand the issues involved in this
dilemma.
POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH-CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS
Providing medical and related health-care benefits for retirees was at one time an
inexpensive and highly effective way of generating employee goodwill. This prac-
tice has now turned into one of corporate America’s most worrisome financial
problems. Runaway medical costs, early retirement, and increased longevity are
sending the liability for retiree health plans through the roof.
Many companies began offering retiree health-care coverage in the form of
Medicare supplements in the 1960s. Almost all plans operated on a pay-as-you-go
basis. The companies simply paid for the bills as they came in, rather than setting
aside funds to meet the cost of future benefits. These plans were accounted for on
the cash basis. But, the FASB concluded that shareholders and creditors should
know the amount of the employer’s obligations. As a result, employers must now
use the accrual basis in accounting for postretirement health-care and life insur-
ance benefits.
PENSION PLANS
A pension plan is an agreement whereby an employer provides benefits (pay-
ments) to employees after they retire. Over 50 million workers currently partici-
pate in pension plans in the United States. The need for good accounting for pen-
sion plans becomes apparent when one appreciates the size of existing pension
funds. Most pension plans are subject to the provisions of ERISA (Employee
Retirement Income Security Act), a law enacted to curb abuses in the administra-
tion and funding of such plans.
Three parties are generally involved in a pension plan. The employer (com-
pany) sponsors the pension plan. The plan administrator receives the contributions
from the employer, invests the pension assets, and makes the benefit payments to
the pension recipients (retired employees). Illustration F-5 indicates the flow of
cash among the three parties involved in a pension plan.

An employer-financed pension is part of the employees’ compensation.
ERISA establishes the minimum contribution that a company must make each
year toward employee pensions. The most popular type of pension plan used is the
401(k) plan. A 401(k) plan works as follows: As an employee, you can contribute up
to a certain percentage of your pay into a 401(k) plan, and your employer will match
a percentage of your contribution. These contributions are then generally invested in
stocks and bonds through mutual funds. These funds will grow without being taxed
and can be withdrawn beginning at age 59-1/2. If you must access the funds earlier,
you may be able to do so, but a penalty usually occurs along with a payment of tax

on the proceeds. Any time you have the opportunity to be involved in a 401(k)
plan, you should avail yourself of this benefit!
Companies record pension costs as an expense while the employees are work-
ing because that is when the company receives benefits from the employees’ serv-
ices. Generally the pension expense is reported as an operating expense in the
company’s income statement. Frequently, the amount contributed by the company
to the pension plan is different from the amount of the pension expense. A liability
is recognized when the pension expense to date is more than the company’s con-
tributions to date. An asset is recognized when the pension expense to date is less
than the company’s contributions to date. Further consideration of the accounting
for pension plans is left for more advanced courses.
The two most common types of pension arrangements for providing benefits
to employees after they retire are defined-contribution plans and defined-benefit
plans.
Defined-Contribution Plan. In a defined-contribution plan, the plan defines the
employer’s contribution but not the benefit that the employee will receive at re-
tirement. That is, the employer agrees to contribute a certain sum each period
based on a formula. A 401(k) plan is typically a defined-contribution plan.
The accounting for a defined-contribution plan is straightforward: The em-
ployer simply makes a contribution each year based on the formula established in
the plan. As a result, the employer’s obligation is easily determined. It follows that
the company reports the amount of the contribution required each period as pen-
sion expense. The employer reports a liability only if it has not made the contribu-
tion in full.
To illustrate, assume that Alba Office Interiors Corp. has a defined-contribution
plan in which it contributes $200,000 each year to the pension fund for its employees.
The entry to record this transaction is:
Pension Expense 200,000
Cash 200,000
(To record pension expense and contribution to
pension fund)
To the extent that Alba did not contribute the $200,000 defined contribution, it
would record a liability. Pension payments to retired employees are made from the
pension fund by the plan administrator.
Defined-Benefit Plan. In a defined-benefit plan, the benefits that the employee
will receive at the time of retirement are defined by the terms of the plan. Benefits
are typically calculated using a formula that considers an employee’s compensation
level when he or she nears retirement and the employee’s years of service. Because
the benefits in this plan are defined in terms of uncertain future variables, an ap-
propriate funding pattern is established to ensure that enough funds are available
at retirement to meet the benefits promised. This funding level depends on a num-
ber of factors such as employee turnover, length of service, mortality, compensation
levels, and investment earnings. The proper accounting for these plans is complex
and is considered in more advanced accounting courses.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS AS LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
While part of the liability associated with (1) postretirement health-care and life in-
surance benefits and (2) pension plans is generally a current liability, the greater
portion of these liabilities extends many years into the future. Therefore, many
companies are required to report significant amounts as long-term liabilities for
postretirement benefits.

can be reasonably estimated, the liability should be

CRITICAL THINKING
Decision Making Across the Organization
BYPF-3 Presented below is the condensed balance sheet for Express, Inc. as of December 31,
2008.
EXPRESS, INC.
Balance Sheet
December 31, 2008
Current assets $ 800,000 Current liabilities $1,200,000
Plant assets 1,600,000 Long-term liabilities 700,000
Common stock 400,000
Retained earnings 100,000
Total $2,400,000 Total $2,400,000
Express has decided that it needs to purchase a new crane for its operations. The new crane
costs $900,000 and has a useful life of 15 years. However, Express’s bank has refused to provide
any help in financing the purchase of the new equipment, even though Express is willing to pay
an above-market interest rate for the financing.
The chief financial officer for Express, Lisa Colder, has discussed with the manufacturer of
the crane the possibility of a lease agreement. After some negotiation, the crane manufacturer
agrees to lease the crane to Express under the following terms: length of the lease 7 years; pay-
ments $100,000 per year. The present value of the lease payments is $548,732.

The board of directors at Express is delighted with this new lease. They reason they have
the use of the crane for the next 7 years. In addition, Lisa Colder notes that this type of fi-
nancing is a good deal because it will keep debt off the balance sheet.
Instructions
With the class divided into groups, answer the following.
(a) Why do you think the bank decided not to lend money to Express, Inc.?
(b) How should this lease transaction be reported in the financial statements?
(c) What did Lisa Colder mean when she said “leasing will keep debt off the balance sheet”?

Purpose: (1) Update the Retained Earnings account in the ledger by transferring net
income (loss) and dividends to retained earnings. (2) Prepare the temporary accounts
(revenue, expense, dividends) for the next period’s postings by reducing their balances
to zero.
Process
1. Debit each revenue account for its balance (assuming normal balances), and
credit Income Summary for total revenues.
2. Debit Income Summary for total expenses, and credit each expense account for
its balance (assuming normal balances).
STOP AND CHECK: Does the balance in your Income Summary Account equal
the net income (loss) reported in the income statement?
3. Debit (credit) Income Summary, and credit (debit) Retained Earnings for the
amount of net income (loss).
4. Debit Retained Earnings for the balance in the Dividends account and credit
Dividends for the same amount.
STOP AND CHECK: Does the balance in your Retained Earnings account equal
the ending balance reported in the balance sheet and the retained earnings
statement? Are all of your temporary account balances zero?
