Chapter 6--Learning Objectives 1. Explain the different concepts of income, cash, economic, and accrual-based income measures
Concepts of Income Cash Basis Economic Accrual Basis
Cash Basis Income Income = Cash inflow - Cash outflow Not reported as income under GAAP Reported in Statement of Cash Flows as net cash flow from operating activities
Economic Income Based on concept of “well-offness” Economic Income is the maximum amount that can be distributed to owners during the accounting period and leave the business as well off at the end of the accounting period as it was at the beginning of the period
Economic Income • A Capital maintenance concept of income • Income is the change in “value” of the net assets of the business during the accounting period • Measurements of assets and liabilities would be based on “fair value” at the balance sheet date, i.e., the present value of expected future cash flows
Accounting IncomeAccrual Basis Income • Transactions based • The change in net assets is measured utilizing historical cost (with modifications) • A financial capital maintenance concept of income
Accrual Basis IncomeCharacteristics • Revenue recognized when earned • Expenses matched with revenue • Based on historical cost Income = Revenue + Gains - Expenses - Losses
SFAC 1 • Objectives Of Financial Reporting • To provide information • Useful in Investment & Credit Decisions • Useful in Assessing Cash Flow Prospects • About Enterprise Resources, Claims to Those Resources, & Changes in Them
SFAC 1: Enterprise Performance & Earnings • The primary focus of financial reporting • Expectations about future performance are commonly based on past performance • Accrual based earnings provide a better indication of performance than cash flows • Relate Benefits and Costs of Operations, Events & Circumstances that affect the Enterprise
