MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISThe management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) section covers three financialaspects 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 highlightfavorable or unfavorable trends and identity significant events and uncertaintiesthat affect these three factors. This discussion obviously involves a number of sub-jective estimates and opinions. In its MD&A section, PepsiCo breaks its discussioninto three major headings: Our Business, Our Critical Accounting Policies, and OurFinancial Results. PepsiCo’s MD&A section is 22 pages long. You can access thatsection at www.wiley.com/college/weygandt.

Our financial statements include the con-solidated accounts of PepsiCo, Inc. andthe affiliates that we control. In addition,we include our share of the results of cer-tain other affiliates based on our economicownership interest. We do not control theseother affiliates, as our ownership in theseother affiliates is generally less than 50%.Our share of the net income of noncon-trolled bottling affiliates is reported in ourincome statement as bottling equityincome. Bottling equity income alsoincludes any changes in our ownershipinterests of these affiliates. In 2005, bot-tling equity income includes $126 millionof pre-tax gains on our sales of PBG stock.See Note 8 for additional information onour noncontrolled bottling affiliates. Ourshare of other noncontrolled affiliates isincluded in division operating profit.Intercompany balances and transactionsare eliminated. In 2005, we had an addi-tional week of results (53rd week). Ourfiscal year ends on the last Saturday ofeach December, resulting in an additionalweek of results every five or six years.
In connection with our ongoing BPTinitiative, we aligned certain accountingpolicies across our divisions in 2005. Weconformed our methodology for calculatingour bad debt reserves and modified ourpolicy for recognizing revenue for productsshipped to customers by third-partycarriers. Additionally, we conformed ourmethod of accounting for certain costs,primarily warehouse and freight. Thesechanges reduced our net revenue by$36 million and our operating profit by$60 million in 2005. We also made certainreclassifications on our ConsolidatedStatement of Income in the fourth quarterof 2005 from cost of sales to selling,general and administrative expenses inconnection with our BPT initiative. Thesereclassifications resulted in reductions tocost of sales of $556 million through thethird quarter of 2005, $732 million in thefull year 2004 and $688 million in the fullyear 2003, with corresponding increases toselling, general and administrativeexpenses in those periods. These reclassifi-cations had no net impact on operatingprofit and have been made to all periodspresented for comparability.
The preparation of our consolidatedfinancial statements in conformity withgenerally accepted accounting principlesrequires us to make estimates andassumptions that affect reported amountsof assets, liabilities, revenues, expensesand disclosure of contingent assets andliabilities. Estimates are used in determin-ing, among other items, sales incentivesaccruals, future cash flows associated withimpairment testing for perpetual brandsand goodwill, useful lives for intangibleassets, tax reserves, stock-based compen-sation and pension and retiree medicalaccruals. Actual results could differ fromthese estimates.
See “Our Divisions” below and foradditional unaudited information on itemsaffecting the comparability of ourconsolidated results, see “Items AffectingComparability” in Management’sDiscussion and Analysis.
Tabular dollars are in millions, except pershare amounts. All per share amountsreflect common per share amounts, assumedilution unless noted, and are based onunrounded amounts. Certain reclassifica-tions were made to prior years’ amounts toconform to the 2005 presentation.
We manufacture or use contract manufac-turers, market and sell a variety of salty,sweet and grain-based snacks, carbonatedand non-carbonated beverages, and foodsthrough our North American and interna-tional business divisions. Our NorthAmerican divisions include the UnitedStates and Canada. The accounting poli-cies for the divisions are the same as thosedescribed in Note 2, except for certainallocation methodologies for stock-basedcompensation expense and pension andretiree medical expense, as described inthe unaudited information in “Our CriticalAccounting Policies.” Additionally, begin-
ning in the fourth quarter of 2005, webegan centrally managing commodityderivatives on behalf of our divisions.Certain of the commodity derivatives,primarily those related to the purchase ofenergy for use by our divisions, do notqualify for hedge accounting treatment.These derivatives hedge underlying com-modity price risk and were not entered intofor speculative purposes. Such derivativesare marked to market with the resultinggains and losses recognized as a compo-nent of corporate unallocated expense.These gains and losses are reflected indivision results when the divisions take
delivery of the underlying commodity.Therefore, division results reflect thecontract purchase price of the energy orother commodities.
Division results are based on how ourChairman and Chief Executive Officerevaluates our divisions. Division resultsexclude certain Corporate-initiated restruc-turing and impairment charges, merger-related costs and divested businesses.For additional unaudited information onour divisions, see “Our Operations” inManagement’s Discussion and Analysis.

Revenue RecognitionWe recognize revenue upon shipment ordelivery to our customers based on writtensales terms that do not allow for a right ofreturn.

Based on our histori-cal experience with this practice, we havereserved for anticipated damaged and out-of-date products. For additional unauditedinformation on our revenue recognition andrelated policies, including our policy onbad debts, see “Our Critical AccountingPolicies” in Management’s Discussion andAnalysis.

2005 Restructuring ChargesIn the fourth quarter of 2005, we incurreda charge of $83 million ($55 million after-tax or $0.03 per share) in conjunction withactions taken to reduce costs in our opera-tions, principally through headcount reduc-tions. Of this charge, $34 million relatedto FLNA, $21 million to PBNA, $16million to PI and $12 million to Corporate(recorded in corporate unallocatedexpenses). Most of this charge related tothe termination of approximately 700employees. We expect the substantialportion of the cash payments related tothis charge to be paid in 2006.
2004 and 2003 Restructuring andImpairment ChargesIn the fourth quarter of 2004, we incurreda charge of $150 million ($96 millionafter-tax or $0.06 per share) in conjunc-tion with the consolidation of FLNA’smanufacturing 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 wasredeployed to other FLNA facilities in theU.S. The remaining $57 million includedemployee-related costs of $29 million,contract termination costs of $8 millionand other exit costs of $20 million.Employee-related costs primarily reflectthe termination costs for approximately700 employees. Through December 31,2005, we have paid $47 million andincurred non-cash charges of $10 million,leaving substantially no accrual.
In the fourth quarter of 2003, weincurred a charge of $147 million($100 million after-tax or $0.06 per share)in conjunction with actions taken tostreamline our North American divisionsand PepsiCo International. These actionswere taken to increase focus and eliminateredundancies at PBNA and PI and toimprove the efficiency of the supply chain
at FLNA. Of this charge, $81 millionrelated to asset impairment, reflecting$57 million for the closure of a snackplant in Kentucky, the retirement of snackmanufacturing lines in Maryland andArkansas and $24 million for the closureof a PBNA office building in Florida. Theremaining $66 million included employee-related costs of $54 million and facilityand other exit costs of $12 million.Employee-related costs primarily reflectthe termination costs for approximately850 sales, distribution, manufacturing,research and marketing employees. As ofDecember 31, 2005, all terminations hadoccurred and substantially no accrualremains.
Merger-Related CostsIn connection with the Quaker merger in2001, we recognized merger-related costsof $59 million ($42 million after-tax or$0.02 per share) in 2003.
Depreciation and amortization arerecognized on a straight-line basis over anasset’s estimated useful life. Land is notdepreciated and construction in progress isnot depreciated until ready for service.Amortization of intangible assets for eachof the next five years, based on average2005 foreign exchange rates, is expectedto be $152 million in 2006, $35 millionin 2007, $35 million in 2008, $34 mil-lion in 2009 and $33 million in 2010.
Depreciable and amortizable assets areonly evaluated for impairment upon asignificant change in the operating ormacroeconomic environment. In thesecircumstances, if an evaluation of theundiscounted cash flows indicates impair-ment, the asset is written down to itsestimated fair value, which is based ondiscounted future cash flows. Useful livesare periodically evaluated to determinewhether events or circumstances haveoccurred which indicate the need for revi-sion. For additional unaudited informationon our amortizable brand policies, see“Our Critical Accounting Policies” inManagement’s Discussion and Analysis.

Nonamortizable Intangible AssetsPerpetual brands and goodwill are assessed for impairment at least annually to ensure that discounted future cash flows continue toexceed the related book value. A perpetual brand is impaired if its book value exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is evaluated forimpairment 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 tofair value. No impairment charges resulted from the required impairment evaluations. The change in the book value of nonamortizableintangible assets is as follows:

Carryforwards, Credits and AllowancesOperating loss carryforwards totaling$5.1 billion at year-end 2005 are beingcarried forward in a number of foreign andstate jurisdictions where we are permittedto use tax operating losses from prior peri-ods to reduce future taxable income. Theseoperating losses will expire as follows:$0.1 billion in 2006, $4.1 billion between2007 and 2025 and $0.9 billion may becarried forward indefinitely. In addition,certain tax credits generated in prior peri-ods of approximately $39.4 million areavailable to reduce certain foreign taxliabilities through 2011. We establishvaluation allowances for our deferred taxassets when the amount of expected futuretaxable income is not likely to support theuse of the deduction or credit.
Undistributed International EarningsThe AJCA created a one-time incentive forU.S. corporations to repatriate undistrib-uted international earnings by providing an
85% dividends received deduction. Asapproved by our Board of Directors in July2005, 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, werecorded income tax expense of $460 mil-lion associated with this repatriation. Otherthan the earnings repatriated, we intend tocontinue to reinvest earnings outside theU.S. for the foreseeable future and, there-fore, have not recognized any U.S. taxexpense on these earnings. At December31, 2005, we had approximately $7.5 bil-lion of undistributed international earnings.
ReservesA number of years may elapse before a par-ticular matter, for which we have establisheda reserve, is audited and finally resolved.The number of years with open tax auditsvaries depending on the tax jurisdiction.During 2004, we recognized $266 million oftax 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 onan open issue related to our discontinuedrestaurant operations. At the end of 2003,
we entered into agreements with the IRS foropen years through 1997. These agreementsresulted in a tax benefit of $109 million inthe fourth quarter of 2003. As part of theseagreements, we also resolved the treatmentof certain other issues related to futuretax years.
The IRS has initiated their audits of ourtax returns for the years 1998 through2002. Our tax returns subsequent to 2002have not yet been examined. While it isoften difficult to predict the final outcome orthe timing of resolution of any particular taxmatter, we believe that our reserves reflectthe probable outcome of known tax contin-gencies. Settlement of any particular issuewould usually require the use of cash.Favorable resolution would be recognized asa reduction to our annual tax rate in the yearof resolution. Our tax reserves, covering allfederal, state and foreign jurisdictions, arepresented in the balance sheet within otherliabilities (see Note 14), except for anyamounts relating to items we expect to payin the coming year which are included incurrent income taxes payable. For furtherunaudited information on the impact of theresolution of open tax issues, see “OtherConsolidated Results.”
Our stock-based compensation program isa broad-based program designed to attractand retain employees while also aligningemployees’ interests with the interests ofour shareholders. Employees at all levelsparticipate in our stock-based compensa-tion program. In addition, members of ourBoard of Directors participate in our stock-based compensation program in connec-tion with their service on our Board. Stockoptions and RSUs are granted to employ-ees under the shareholder-approved 2003Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), our onlyactive stock-based plan. Stock-basedcompensation expense was $311 millionin 2005, $368 million in 2004 and$407 million in 2003. Related income taxbenefits recognized in earnings were$87 million in 2005, $103 million in2004 and $114 million in 2003. At year-end 2005, 51 million shares were avail-able for future executive and SharePowergrants. For additional unaudited informa-
tion on our stock-based compensation pro-gram, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies”in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
SharePower GrantsSharePower options are awarded under ourLTIP to all eligible employees, based onjob level or classification, and in the caseof international employees, tenure as well.All stock option grants have an exerciseprice equal to the fair market value of ourcommon stock on the day of grant andgenerally have a 10-year term with vestingafter three years.
Executive GrantsAll senior management and certain middlemanagement are eligible for executivegrants under our LTIP. All stock optiongrants have an exercise price equal to thefair market value of our common stock onthe day of grant and generally have a10-year term with vesting after three years.There have been no reductions to the exer-
cise price of previously issued awards, andany repricing of awards would requireapproval of our shareholders.
Beginning in 2004, executives who areawarded long-term incentives based ontheir performance are offered the choice ofstock options or RSUs. RSU expense isbased on the fair value of PepsiCo stock onthe date of grant and is amortized over thevesting period, generally three years. Eachrestricted stock unit can be settled in ashare of our stock after the vesting period.Executives who elect RSUs receive oneRSU for every four stock options that wouldhave otherwise been granted. Senior offi-cers do not have a choice and are granted50% stock options and 50% RSUs.Vesting of RSU awards for senior officers iscontingent upon the achievement ofpre-established performance targets. Wegranted 3 million RSUs in both 2005 and2004 with weighted-average intrinsic val-ues of $53.83 and $47.28, respectively.

Method of Accounting and Our AssumptionsWe account for our employee stock options under the fair valuemethod of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model tomeasure stock-based compensation expense at the date of grant.We adopted SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment, under themodified prospective method in the first quarter of 2006.

Our pension plans cover full-time employ-ees in the U.S. and certain internationalemployees. Benefits are determined basedon either years of service or a combinationof years of service and earnings. U.S.retirees are also eligible for medical andlife insurance benefits (retiree medical) ifthey meet age and service requirements.Generally, our share of retiree medicalcosts is capped at specified dollaramounts, which vary based upon years ofservice, with retirees contributing theremainder of the costs. We use aSeptember 30 measurement date and allplan assets and liabilities are generally
reported as of that date. The cost orbenefit of plan changes that increase ordecrease benefits for prior employeeservice (prior service cost) is included inexpense on a straight-line basis over theaverage remaining service period ofemployees expected to receive benefits.
The Medicare Act was signed into law inDecember 2003 and we applied the provi-sions of the Medicare Act to our plans in2005 and 2004. The Medicare Actprovides a subsidy for sponsors of retireemedical plans who offer drug benefitsequivalent to those provided underMedicare. As a result of the Medicare Act,
our 2005 and 2004 retiree medical costswere $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 our2006 retiree medical costs to be approxi-mately $18 million lower than they other-wise would have been as a result of theMedicare Act.

Savings PlansOur U.S. employees are eligible to partici-pate in 401(k) savings plans, which arevoluntary defined contribution plans. The
plans are designed to help employeesaccumulate additional savings for retire-ment. We make matching contributions ona portion of eligible pay based on years of
service. In 2005 and 2004, our matchingcontributions were $52 million and $35million, respectively.
Future Benefit PaymentsOur estimated future benefit payments are as follows:
These future benefits to beneficiaries include payments from both funded and unfunded pension plans.
Pension AssetsThe expected return on pension planassets is based on our historical experi-ence, our pension plan investment guide-lines, and our expectations for long-termrates of return. We use a market-relatedvalue method that recognizes each year’sasset gain or loss over a five-year period.Therefore, it takes five years for the gain orloss from any one year to be fully includedin the value of pension plan assets that isused to calculate the expected return. Our
pension plan investment guidelines areestablished based upon an evaluation ofmarket conditions, tolerance for risk andcash requirements for benefit payments.Our investment objective is to ensure thatfunds are available to meet the plans’ ben-efit obligations when they are due. Ourinvestment strategy is to prudently investplan assets in high-quality and diversifiedequity and debt securities to achieve ourlong-term return expectation. Our target
allocation and actual pension plan assetallocations for the plan years 2005 and2004, are below.
Pension assets include approximately5.5 million shares of PepsiCo commonstock with a market value of $311 millionin 2005, and 5.5 million shares with amarket value of $267 million in 2004. Ourinvestment policy limits the investment inPepsiCo stock at the time of investment to10% of the fair value of plan assets.

Our most significant noncontrolled bottlingaffiliates are PBG and PAS. Approximately10% of our net revenue in 2005, 2004and 2003 reflects sales to PBG.
The Pepsi Bottling GroupIn addition to approximately 41% and42% of PBG’s outstanding common stockthat we own at year-end 2005 and 2004,respectively, we own 100% of PBG’s classB common stock and approximately 7% ofthe equity of Bottling Group, LLC, PBG’s
principal operating subsidiary. This givesus economic ownership of approximately45% and 46% of PBG’s combined opera-tions at year-end 2005 and 2004, respec-tively. In 2005, bottling equity incomeincludes $126 million of pre-tax gains onour sales of PBG stock.

Retiree Medical Cost Trend RatesAn average increase of 10% in the cost ofcovered retiree medical benefits isassumed for 2006. This average increaseis then projected to decline gradually to
5% in 2010 and thereafter. Theseassumed health care cost trend rates havean impact on the retiree medical planexpense and liability. However, the cap onour share of retiree medical costs limits
the impact. A 1 percentage point changein the assumed health care trend ratewould have the following effects:

Such amounts are settled on termsconsistent with other trade receivables andpayables. See Note 9 regarding our guaran-tee of certain PBG debt.
In addition, we coordinate, on an aggre-gate basis, the negotiation and purchase ofsweeteners and other raw materials
requirements for certain of our bottlerswith suppliers. Once we have negotiatedthe contracts, the bottlers order and takedelivery directly from the supplier and paythe suppliers directly. Consequently, thesetransactions are not reflected in ourconsolidated financial statements. As the
contracting party, we could be liable tothese suppliers in the event of any nonpay-ment by our bottlers, but we consider thisexposure to be remote.

Note 9 — Debt Obligations and Commitments
Short-term borrowings are reclassified tolong-term when we have the intent andability, through the existence of the unusedlines of credit, to refinance these borrow-ings on a long-term basis. At year-end2005, we maintained $2.1 billion incorporate lines of credit subject to normalbanking terms and conditions. These creditfacilities support short-term debt issuancesand remained unused as of December 31,2005. Of the $2.1 billion, $1.35 billionexpires in May 2006 with the remaining$750 million expiring in June 2009.
In addition, $181 million of our debtwas outstanding on various lines of creditmaintained for our international divisions.
These lines of credit are subject to normalbanking terms and conditions and arecommitted to the extent of our borrowings.
Interest Rate SwapsWe entered into interest rate swaps in2004 to effectively convert the interest rateof a specific debt issuance from a fixedrate of 3.2% to a variable rate. The vari-able weighted-average interest rate that wepay is linked to LIBOR and is subject tochange. The notional amount of the inter-est rate swaps outstanding at December31, 2005 and December 25, 2004 was$500 million. The terms of the interestrate swaps match the terms of the debtthey modify. The swaps mature in 2007.
At December 31, 2005, approximately78% of total debt, after the impact of theassociated interest rate swaps, was exposedto 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 categorizedas variable for purposes of this measure.
Cross Currency Interest Rate SwapsIn 2004, we entered into a cross currencyinterest rate swap to hedge the currencyexposure on U.S. dollar denominated debtof $50 million held by a foreign affiliate.The terms of this swap match the terms ofthe debt it modifies. The swap matures in2008. The unrecognized gain related tothis swap was less than $1 million atDecember 31, 2005, resulting in a U.S.dollar liability of $50 million. At December25, 2004, the unrecognized loss related tothis swap was $3 million, resulting in aU.S. dollar liability of $53 million. Wehave also entered into cross currencyinterest rate swaps to hedge the currencyexposure on U.S. dollar denominatedintercompany debt of $125 million. Theterms of the swaps match the terms of thedebt they modify. The swaps mature overthe next two years. The net unrecognizedgain related to these swaps was $5 millionat December 31, 2005. The net unrecog-nized loss related to these swaps was lessthan $1 million at December 25, 2004.

Most long-term contractual commit-ments, except for our long-term debtobligations, are not recorded in ourConsolidated Balance Sheet. Non-cance-lable operating leases primarily representbuilding leases. Non-cancelable purchasingcommitments are primarily for oranges andorange juices to be used for our Tropicanabrand beverages. Non-cancelable marketingcommitments primarily are for sportsmarketing and with our fountain customers.Bottler funding is not reflected in ourlong-term contractual commitments as it isnegotiated on an annual basis.

Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsIt is not our business practice to enter intooff-balance sheet arrangements, other thanin the normal course of business, nor isit our policy to issue guarantees to ourbottlers, noncontrolled affiliates or thirdparties. However, certain guarantees werenecessary to facilitate the separation of ourbottling and restaurant operations from us.In connection with these transactions, wehave guaranteed $2.3 billion of BottlingGroup, LLC’s long-term debt through 2012and $28 million of YUM!

See “Our Liquidity, Capital Resourcesand Financial Position” in Management’sDiscussion and Analysis for furtherunaudited information on our borrowings.
We are exposed to the risk of loss arisingfrom 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 medicalliabilities.In the normal course of business, we
manage these risks through a variety ofstrategies, including the use of derivatives.Certain derivatives are designated as eithercash flow or fair value hedges and qualifyfor hedge accounting treatment, while oth-ers do not qualify and are marked to marketthrough earnings. See “Our BusinessRisks” in Management’s Discussion andAnalysis for further unaudited informationon our business risks.
For cash flow hedges, changes in fairvalue are deferred in accumulated othercomprehensive loss within shareholders’equity until the underlying hedged item isrecognized in net income. For fair valuehedges, changes in fair value are recognizedimmediately in earnings, consistent with theunderlying hedged item. Hedging transac-tions are limited to an underlying exposure.As a result, any change in the value of ourderivative instruments would be substan-tially offset by an opposite change in thevalue of the underlying hedged items.Hedging ineffectiveness and a net earnings
impact occur when the change in the valueof the hedge does not offset the change inthe value of the underlying hedged item. Ifthe derivative instrument is terminated, wecontinue to defer the related gain or lossand include it as a component of the cost ofthe underlying hedged item. Upon determi-nation that the underlying hedged itemwill not be part of an actual transaction, werecognize the related gain or loss in netincome in that period.
We also use derivatives that do notqualify for hedge accounting treatment.We account for such derivatives at marketvalue with the resulting gains and lossesreflected in our income statement. We donot use derivative instruments for tradingor speculative purposes and we limit ourexposure to individual counterparties tomanage credit risk.
Commodity PricesWe are subject to commodity price riskbecause our ability to recover increasedcosts through higher pricing may belimited in the competitive environment inwhich we operate. This risk is managedthrough the use of fixed-price purchaseorders, pricing agreements, geographicdiversity and derivatives. We use deriva-tives, with terms of no more than twoyears, to economically hedge price fluctua-tions related to a portion of our anticipatedcommodity purchases, primarily for naturalgas and diesel fuel. For those derivativesthat are designated as cash flow hedges,
any ineffectiveness is recorded immedi-ately. However, our commodity cash flowhedges have not had any significant inef-fectiveness for all periods presented. Weclassify both the earnings and cash flowimpact from these derivatives consistentwith the underlying hedged item. Duringthe next 12 months, we expect to reclas-sify gains of $24 million related to cashflow hedges from accumulated othercomprehensive loss into net income.
Foreign ExchangeOur operations outside of the U.S. generateover a third of our net revenue of whichMexico, the United Kingdom and Canadacomprise nearly 20%. As a result, we areexposed to foreign currency risks fromunforeseen economic changes and politicalunrest. On occasion, we enter into hedges,primarily forward contracts with terms of nomore than two years, to reduce the effect offoreign exchange rates. Ineffectiveness onthese hedges has not been material.
Interest RatesWe centrally manage our debt and invest-ment portfolios considering investmentopportunities and risks, tax consequencesand overall financing strategies. We mayuse interest rate and cross currencyinterest rate swaps to manage our overallinterest expense and foreign exchange risk.These instruments effectively change theinterest rate and currency of specific debtissuances. These swaps are entered into
Note 10 — Risk Management
Financial Statements and Accompanying Notes A23
concurrently with the issuance of the debtthat they are intended to modify. Thenotional amount, interest payment andmaturity date of the swaps match theprincipal, interest payment and maturitydate of the related debt. These swaps areentered into only with strong creditworthycounterparties, are settled on a net basisand are of relatively short duration.
Stock PricesThe portion of our deferred compensationliability that is based on certain marketindices and on our stock price is subjectto market risk. We hold mutual fundinvestments and prepaid forward contractsto manage this risk. Changes in the fairvalue of these investments and contractsare recognized immediately in earningsand are offset by changes in the relatedcompensation liability.
Fair ValueAll derivative instruments are recognized inour Consolidated Balance Sheet at fairvalue. The fair value of our derivative instru-ments is generally based on quoted marketprices. Book and fair values of our derivativeand financial instruments are as follows:
2005 2004Book Value Fair Value Book Value Fair Value
(a) Book value approximates fair value due to the short maturity.
(b) Principally short-term time deposits and includes $124 million at December 31, 2005 and $118 million at December 25, 2004 of mutual fund investments used to manage a portion of market risk arising from ourdeferred compensation liability.
(c) 2005 asset includes $14 million related to derivatives not designated as accounting hedges. Assets are reported within current assets and other assets and liabilities are reported within current liabilities andother liabilities.
(d) 2005 asset includes $2 million related to derivatives not designated as accounting hedges and the liability relates entirely to derivatives not designated as accounting hedges. Assets are reported within currentassets and other assets and liabilities are reported within current liabilities and other liabilities.
(e) Included in current assets and other assets.
(f ) Asset included within other assets and liability included in long-term debt.
(g) Reported in other liabilities.
This table excludes guarantees, including our guarantee of $2.3 billion of Bottling Group, LLC’s long-term debt. The guarantee had afair value of $47 million at December 31, 2005 and $46 million at December 25, 2004 based on an external estimate of the cost tous of transferring the liability to an independent financial institution. See Note 9 for additional information on our guarantees.
Basic net income per common share is netincome available to common shareholdersdivided by the weighted average of com-mon shares outstanding during the period.Diluted net income per common share iscalculated using the weighted average ofcommon shares outstanding adjusted toinclude the effect that would occur if
in-the-money employee stock options wereexercised and RSUs and preferred shareswere converted into common shares.Options to purchase 3.0 million shares in2005, 7.0 million shares in 2004 and49.0 million shares in 2003 were notincluded in the calculation of dilutedearnings per common share because these
options were out-of-the-money. Out-of-the-money options had average exercise pricesof $53.77 in 2005, $52.88 in 2004 and$48.27 in 2003.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONIn addition to the financial statements and accompanying notes, companies are re-quired to provide a report on internal control over financial reporting and to havean auditor’s report on the financial statements. In addition, PepsiCo has provideda report indicating that financial reporting is management’s responsibility. Finally,PepsiCo also provides selected financial data it believes is useful.The two requiredreports are further explained below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control overFinancial ReportingThe Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires managers of publicly traded companiesto establish and maintain systems of internal control over the company’s financialreporting processes. In addition, management must express its responsibility for fi-nancial reporting, and it must provide certifications regarding the accuracy of thefinancial statements.
Auditor’s ReportAll publicly held corporations, as well as many other enterprises and organizationsengage the services of independent certified public accountants for the purpose ofobtaining an objective, expert report on their financial statements. Based on acomprehensive examination of the company’s accounting system, accountingrecords, 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 financialstatements. It states that the audit was conducted in accordance with generally ac-cepted auditing standards and discusses the nature and limitations of the audit. Itthen expresses an informed opinion as to (1) the fairness of the financial state-ments and (2) their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Italso expresses an opinion regarding the effectiveness of the company’s internalcontrols. All of this additional information for PepsiCo is provided on the follow-ing pages.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet ofPepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 andDecember 25, 2004 and the related Consolidated Statements ofIncome, Cash Flows and Common Shareholders’ Equity for each ofthe years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. Wehave also audited management’s assessment, included inManagement’s Report on Internal Control over FinancialReporting, that PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintainedeffective internal control over financial reporting as ofDecember 31, 2005, based on criteria established in InternalControl — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee ofSponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).PepsiCo, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidatedfinancial statements, for maintaining effective internal controlover financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effective-ness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibilityis to express an opinion on these consolidated financial state-ments, an opinion on management’s assessment, and an opinionon the effectiveness of PepsiCo, Inc.’s internal control overfinancial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of thePublic Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits toobtain reasonable assurance about whether the financialstatements are free of material misstatement and whether effectiveinternal 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 disclosuresin the financial statements, assessing the accounting principlesused and significant estimates made by management, and evaluat-ing the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit ofinternal control over financial reporting included obtaining anunderstanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluat-ing management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the designand operating effectiveness of internal control, and performingsuch other procedures as we considered necessary in the circum-stances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis forour opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is aprocess designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding thereliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financialstatements for external purposes in accordance with generallyaccepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control overfinancial 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 ofthe assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance thattransactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation offinancial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of thecompany are being made only in accordance with authorizationsof management and directors of the company; and (3) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection ofunauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’sassets 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 aresubject to the risk that controls may become inadequate becauseof changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance withthe policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred toabove present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positionof PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 andDecember 25, 2004, and the results of their operations and theircash flows for each of the years in the three-year period endedDecember 31, 2005, in conformity with United States generallyaccepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, manage-ment’s assessment that PepsiCo, Inc. maintained effectiveinternal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005,is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteriaestablished in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued byCOSO. Furthermore, in our opinion, PepsiCo, Inc. maintained, inall material respects, effective internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria establishedin 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 preferto receive the $1,000 today because you can invest the $1,000 and earn intereston it. As a result, you will have more than $1,000 a year from now. What thisexample illustrates is the concept of the time value of money. Everyoneprefers to receive money today rather than in the future because of the interestfactor.

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 INTERESTInterest 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 asa rate over a specific period of time. The rate of interest is generally stated as anannual rate.
The amount of interest involved in any financing transaction is based on threeelements:
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 InterestSimple interest is computed on the principal amount only. It is the returnon the principal for one period. Simple interest is usually expressed asshown in Illustration C-1 on the next page.
Distinguish between simple andcompound interest.

Illustration C-1Interest computation
Compound InterestCompound interest is computed on principal and on any interest earned that hasnot been paid or withdrawn. It is the return on the principal for two or more timeperiods. Compounding computes interest not only on the principal but also on theinterest earned to date on that principal, assuming the interest is left on deposit.
To illustrate the difference between simple and compound interest, assumethat you deposit $1,000 in Bank Two, where it will earn simple interest of 9% peryear, 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 bothcases 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-2Simple versus compound interest
Note in Illustration C-2 that simple interest uses the initial principal of $1,000to 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 accountis larger.
Obviously, if you had a choice between investing your money at simple interestor 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 unpaidinterest earned becomes a part of the principal, and the accumulated balance at the

The 1.29503 is computed by multiplying (1.09 � 1.09 � 1.09). The amounts in thisexample can be depicted in the following time diagram.
The future value of a single amount is the value at a future date of agiven amount invested assuming compound interest. For example, inIllustration C-2, $1,295.03 is the future value of the $1,000 at the end ofthree years. The $1,295.03 could be determined more easily by using thefollowing formula.

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 arethe future value of 1 factors. In using Table 1, the principal amount is multiplied bythe 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 thisfactor by $1,000 equals $1,188.10, which is the accumulated balance at the end ofyear 2 in the Citizens Bank example in Illustration C-2.The $1,295.03 accumulatedbalance at the end of the third year can be calculated from Table 1 by multiplyingthe 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 singleamount involves the use of a compound interest table. This table shows the futurevalue of 1 for n periods. Table 1, shown below, is such a table.
Future Value of an Annuity C5
FUTURE VALUE OF AN ANNUITYThe preceding discussion involved the accumulation of only a singleprincipal sum. Individuals and businesses frequently encounter situa-tions in which a series of equal dollar amounts are to be paid or receivedperiodically, such as loans or lease (rental) contracts. Such payments orreceipts of equal dollar amounts are referred to as annuities. The future value ofan 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 youinvest $2,000 at the end of each year for three years at 5% interest compoundedannually. This situation is depicted in the time diagram in Illustration C-6.

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).
Illustration C-6Time diagram for a three-year annuity
As can be seen in Illustration C-6, the $2,000 invested at the end of year 1 willearn interest for two years (years 2 and 3), and the $2,000 invested at the end ofyear 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 asshown 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). Thesecond $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 $2,000investment 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 itdoes not accumulate any interest.
This method of calculation is required when the periodic payments or receiptsare not equal in each period. However, when the periodic payments (receipts) arethe same in each period, the future value can be computed by using a future valueof 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 printingpresses with a new one. To insure that some funds are available to replace the machine in4 years, the company is depositing $25,000 in a savings account at the end of each of thenext four years (4 deposits in total). The savings account will earn 6% interest compoundedannually. How much will be in the savings account at the end of 4 years when the newprinting 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 numberof periods. You can see from Table 2 that the future value of an annuity of 1 factorfor three periods at 5% is 3.15250. The future value factor is the total of the threeindividual future value factors as shown in Illustration C-8. Multiplying thisamount 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 VARIABLESThe 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 isbased on three variables: (1) the dollar amount to be received (futureamount), (2) the length of time until the amount is received (number ofperiods), and (3) the interest rate (the discount rate). The process of determiningthe present value is referred to as discounting the future amount.
In this textbook, we use present value computations in measuring severalitems. 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, determiningthe amount to be reported for notes payable involves present value computations.
Identify the variables fundamentalto solving present value problems.

To illustrate present value, assume that you want to invest a sum of moneythat will yield $1,000 at the end of one year.What amount would you needto invest today to have $1,000 one year from now? Illustration C-9 showsthe formula for calculating present value.

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, whichequals 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 samediscount 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.
The two demonstration problems on the next page (Illustrations C-12, C-13)illustrate how to use Table 3.

When using Table 3 to determine present value, you multiply the future valueby the present value factor specified at the intersection of the number of periodsand the discount rate.

Illustration C-13Demonstration problem—Using Table 3 for PV of 1
PRESENT VALUE OF AN ANNUITYThe preceding discussion involved the discounting of only a single futureamount. Businesses and individuals frequently engage in transactions inwhich 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 pensionobligations.These periodic receipts or payments are annuities.
The present value of an annuity is the value now of a series of future receiptsor payments, discounted assuming compound interest. In computing the presentvalue 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 youwill receive $1,000 cash annually for three years at a time when the discount rate is10%. Illustration C-14 depicts this situation, and Illustration C-15 shows the com-putation of its present value.

This method of calculation is required when the periodic cash flows are notuniform in each period. However, when the future receipts are the same in eachperiod, there are two other ways to compute present value. First, you can multiplythe annual cash flow by the sum of the three present value factors. In the previousexample, $1,000 � 2.48686 equals $2,486.86. The second method is to use annuitytables.As illustrated in Table 4 below, these tables show the present value of 1 to bereceived periodically for a given number of periods.

Table 4 shows that the present value of an annuity of 1 factor for three periodsat 10% is 2.48685.1 (This present value factor is the total of the three individualpresent value factors, as shown in Illustration C-15.) Applying this amount to theannual cash flow of $1,000 produces a present value of $2,486.85.
The following demonstration problem (Illustration C-16) illustrates how to useTable 4.

Illustration C-16Demonstration problem—Using Table 4 for PV of anannuity of 1
TIME PERIODS AND DISCOUNTINGIn the preceding calculations, the discounting was done on an annual basis using anannual interest rate. Discounting may also be done over shorter periods of timesuch as monthly, quarterly, or semiannually.
When the time frame is less than one year, you need to convert the annualinterest rate to the applicable time frame.Assume, for example, that the investor inIllustration 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 is5% (10% � 2), the present value factor from Table 4 is 5.07569, and the presentvalue of the future cash flows is $2,537.85 (5.07569 � $500). This amount is slightlyhigher than the $2,486.86 computed in Illustration C-15 because interest is paidtwice during the same year; therefore interest is earned on the first half year’sinterest.

COMPUTING THE PRESENT VALUEOF 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 afive-year bond issue.
Compute the present value ofnotes 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 seriesof interest payments (an annuity), and (2) the principal amount (a single sum). Tocompute the present value of the bond, we must discount both the interest pay-ments and the principal amount—two different computations. The time diagramsfor 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. Toillustrate, 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 discountrate 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 often $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 rateof 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 valueproblems. 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 theproper amount, discount rate, and periods, and pressing the PV key. The nextsection 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 conceptsin sections 1 and 2, often use a financial (business) calculator to solve timevalue 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 intothe calculator. Illustration C-22 shows the five most common keys used to solvetime value of money problems.2
Use a financial calculator to solvetime value of money problems.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E 8
Illustration C-22Financial 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 begiven three of four variables and will have to solve for the remaining variable. Thefifth key (the key not used) is given a value of zero to ensure that this variable isnot used in the computation.
PRESENT VALUE OF A SINGLE SUMTo illustrate how to solve a present value problem using a financial calculator, assumethat 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.
2On many calculators, these keys are actual buttons on the face of the calculator; on others theyappear 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 ofpayments did not occur in this problem.
Plus and MinusThe use of plus and minus signs in time value of money problems with a financialcalculator can be confusing. Most financial calculators are programmed so that thepositive and negative cash flows in any problem offset each other. In the presentvalue 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 cashoutflow. If the 84,253 were entered as a negative, then the final answer would havebeen reported as a positive 50,000.
Hopefully, the sign convention will not cause confusion. If you understandwhat is required in a problem, you should be able to interpret a positive or negativeamount in determining the solution to a problem.
Compounding PeriodsIn the problem on page C15, we assumed that compounding occurs once a year.Some financial calculators have a default setting, which assumes that compoundingoccurs 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 propercompounding period.
RoundingMost financial calculators store and calculate using 12 decimal places. As a result,because compound interest tables generally have factors only up to 5 decimalplaces, a slight difference in the final answer can result. In most time value ofmoney problems, the final answer will not include more than two decimal points.

PRESENT VALUE OF AN ANNUITYTo illustrate how to solve a present value of an annuity problem using a financialcalculator, 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, whendiscounted 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 toarrive 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 numberof periods in a time value of money problem. Here are some examples of theseapplications.
Auto LoanAssume 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, andyou want to determine the monthly payments, assuming that the payments startone 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, andthen press PMT.You will find that the monthly payments will be $192.20. Note thatthe payment key is usually programmed for 12 payments per year. Thus, you mustchange the default (compounding period) if the payments are other than monthly.
Mortgage Loan AmountLet’s say you are evaluating financing options for a loan on a house. You decidethat the maximum mortgage payment you can afford is $700 per month.The annualinterest 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.
Illustration C-25Calculator solution for autoloan payments
You enter N � 180 (12 � 15 years), I � 8.4, PMT � �700, FV � 0, and press PV.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 quicklyconduct “what-if” analyses for different situations.
SUMMARY OF STUDY OBJECTIVES1. Distinguish between simple and compound interest.
Simple interest is computed on the principal only, whereascompound interest is computed on the principal and anyinterest earned that has not been withdrawn.
2. Solve for future value of a single amount. Prepare atime diagram of the problem. Identify the principalamount, the number of compounding periods, and the in-
terest rate. Using the future value of 1 table, multiply theprincipal amount by the future value factor specified atthe intersection of the number of periods and the interestrate.
3. Solve for future value of an annuity. Prepare a time di-agram of the problem. Identify the amount of the periodicpayments, the number of compounding periods, and the

4. Identify the variables fundamental to solving presentvalue problems. The following three variables are funda-mental to solving present value problems: (1) the futureamount, (2) the number of periods, and (3) the interest rate(the discount rate).
5. Solve for present value of a single amount. Prepare atime 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 timediagram 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 annuityof 1 table, multiply the amount of the annuity by the pres-ent value factor specified at the intersection of the numberof periods and the interest rate.
7. Compute the present value of notes and bonds. Todetermine the present value of the principal amount:Multiply the principal amount (a single future amount) bythe present value factor (from the present value of 1 table)intersecting at the number of periods (number of interestpayments) and the discount rate. To determine the presentvalue of the series of interest payments: Multiply theamount 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 theprincipal 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 moneyproblems. Financial calculators can be used to solve thesame and additional problems as those solved with timevalue of money tables. One enters into the financial calcu-lator the amounts for all of the known elements of a timevalue of money problem (periods, interest rate, payments,future or present value) and solves for the unknown element.Particularly useful situations involve interest rates andcompounding 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 andlabor and fringe benefits costs that approximated 70% of the company’s total costof operations.
Payroll accounting involves more than paying employees’ wages. Companies arerequired by law to maintain payroll records for each employee, to file and pay payrolltaxes, and to comply with numerous state and federal tax laws related to employeecompensation. Accounting for payroll has become much more complex due to theseregulations.
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 DEFINEDThe term “payroll” pertains to both salaries and wages. Managerial, administrative,and sales personnel are generally paid salaries. Salaries are often expressed interms of a specified amount per month or per year rather than an hourly rate. Storeclerks, factory employees, and manual laborers are normally paid wages.Wages arebased 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 tothem are called fees. This distinction is important because government regulationsrelating to the payment and reporting of payroll taxes apply only to employees.
INTERNAL CONTROL OF PAYROLLChapter 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 reliabilityof the accounting records pertaining to payrolls.
Irregularities often result if internal control is lax. Methods of theft involvingpayroll include overstating hours, using unauthorized pay rates, adding fictitiousemployees 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 internalcontrol 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, thecompany should assign these four functions to different departments or individuals.To illustrate these functions, we will examine the case of Academy Company andone of its employees, Michael Jordan.
Hiring EmployeesThe human resources (personnel) department is responsible for posting job open-ings, screening and interviewing applicants, and hiring employees. From a controlstandpoint, 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 inIllustration D-1.

PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT
The human resources department sends the authorization form to the payrolldepartment, 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. Thereason is quite simple: One of the most common types of payroll frauds is addingfictitious 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 acopy of the change in status should be sent to the payroll department. Notice inIllustration D-1 that Jordan received a pay increase of $2 per hour.
TimekeepingAnother area in which internal control is important is timekeeping. Hourly em-ployees are usually required to record time worked by “punching” a time clock.Theemployee inserts a time card into the clock, which automatically records theemployee’s arrival and departure times. Illustration D-2 shows Michael Jordan’stime card.
Internal Control of Payroll D3
In large companies, time clock procedures are often monitored by a supervisoror security guard to make sure an employee punches only his or her own card.At theend 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 cardsare then sent to the payroll department. For salaried employees, a manually preparedweekly or monthly time report kept by a supervisor may be used to record timeworked.
Preparing the PayrollThe payroll department prepares the payroll on the basis of two inputs: (1) humanresources 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, verifiesall calculated amounts, and a payroll department supervisor then approves thepayroll.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 PayrollThe treasurer’s department pays the payroll. Payment by check minimizes the riskof loss from theft, and the endorsed check provides proof of payment. For goodinternal control, payroll checks should be prenumbered, and all checks should beaccounted 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 theirbank 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 paymastershould obtain a signed receipt from the employee upon payment.

Paying the Payroll
Type of Pay Hours � Rate � Gross EarningsRegular 40 � $12 � $480Overtime 4 � 18 � 72
Total wages $552
Illustration D-3Computation of total wages
This computation assumes that Jordan receives 11⁄2 times his regularhourly 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 aresalaried. Federal law does not require overtime pay for employees insuch positions.
Many companies have bonus agreements for employees. One surveyfound that over 94% of the largest U.S. manufacturing companies offer an-
nual bonuses to key executives. Bonus arrangements may be based on such factorsas increased sales or net income. Companies may pay bonuses in cash and/or bygranting 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 considerableteamwork. A challenge is tomotivate individuals while pre-venting an unethical employeefrom taking another’s idea forhis or her own advantage.
DETERMINING THE PAYROLLDetermining the payroll involves computing three amounts: (1) grossearnings, (2) payroll deductions, and (3) net pay.
Gross EarningsGross earnings is the total compensation earned by an employee. It consists ofwages or salaries, plus any bonuses and commissions.
Companies determine total wages for an employee by multiplying the hoursworked 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 regularhourly rate for overtime work in excess of eight hours per day or 40 hours perweek. In addition, many employers pay overtime rates for work done at night, onweekends, 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 timesthe regular rate.Academy computes Jordan’s gross earnings (total wages) as follows.
Compute and record the payrollfor a pay period.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E 2
Payroll DeductionsAs anyone who has received a paycheck knows, gross earnings are usually verydifferent from the amount actually received. The difference is due to payrolldeductions.
Payroll deductions may be mandatory or voluntary. Mandatory deductions arerequired by law and consist of FICA taxes and income taxes.Voluntary deductionsare at the option of the employee. Illustration D-4 summarizes common types ofpayroll deductions. Such deductions do not result in payroll tax expense to theemployer. The employer is merely a collection agent, and subsequently transfersthe deducted amounts to the government and designated recipients.

1The Medicare provision also includes a tax of 1.45% on gross earnings in excess of $97,500. Inthe 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 TAXESIn 1937 Congress enacted the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA). FICAtaxes are designed to provide workers with supplemental retirement, employment dis-ability, and medical benefits. In 1965, Congress extended benefits to include Medicarefor individuals over 65 years of age. The benefits are financed by a tax levied onemployees’ 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 taxeswere 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 thefirst $97,500 of gross earnings for each employee.1 For purpose of illustration inthis chapter, we will assume a rate of 8% on the first $97,500 of gross earnings, or amaximum of $7,800. Using the 8% rate, the FICA withholding for Jordan for theweekly pay period ending January 14 is $44.16 ($552 � 8%).
INCOME TAXESUnder the U.S. pay-as-you-go system of federal income taxes, employers arerequired to withhold income taxes from employees each pay period.Three variablesdetermine the amount to be withheld: (1) the employee’s gross earnings; (2) thenumber of allowances claimed by the employee; and (3) the length of the payperiod.
The number of allowances claimed typically includes the employee, his or herspouse, and other dependents. To indicate to the Internal Revenue Service thenumber of allowances claimed, the employee must complete an Employee’sWithholding 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 theamount of income tax to be withheld. Withholding amounts are based on grosswages and the number of allowances claimed. Separate tables are provided forweekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly pay periods. Illustration D-6 (nextpage) 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 twoallowances, the income tax to be withheld is $49.
In addition, most states (and some cities) require employers to withholdincome 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 stateincome 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 DEDUCTIONSEmployees may voluntarily authorize withholdings for charitable, retirement, andother purposes.All voluntary deductions from gross earnings should be authorizedin writing by the employee. The authorization(s) may be made individually or aspart of a group plan. Deductions for charitable organizations, such as the UnitedWay, or for financial arrangements, such as U.S. savings bonds and repayment of
loans from company credit unions, are made individually. Deductions for uniondues, 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 UnitedWay and $5 for union dues.
Net PayAcademy Company determines net pay by subtracting payroll deductions fromgross earnings. Illustration D-7 shows the computation of Jordan’s net pay for thepay period.

Illustration D-7Computation 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 RecordsTo comply with state and federal laws, an employer must keep a cumulative recordof each employee’s gross earnings, deductions, and net pay during the year. Therecord that provides this information is the employee earnings record. IllustrationD-8 shows Michael Jordan’s employee earnings record.

RECORDING THE PAYROLL
Companies keep a separate earnings record for each employee, and update theserecords after each pay period.The employer uses the cumulative payroll data on theearnings 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 explainedlater), and (3) provide each employee with a statement of gross earnings and taxwithholdings for the year. (Illustration D-12 on page D13 shows this statement.)
In addition to employee earnings records, many companies find it useful toprepare a payroll register. This record accumulates the gross earnings, deductions,and net pay by employee for each pay period. It provides the documentation forpreparing a paycheck for each employee. Illustration D-9 (next page) presentsAcademy Company’s payroll register. It shows the data for Michael Jordan in thewages 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 othercompanies, the payroll register is a memorandum record that provides the data fora general journal entry and subsequent posting to the ledger accounts.At AcademyCompany, the latter procedure is followed.
Recognizing Payroll Expenses and LiabilitiesFrom the payroll register in Illustration D-9, Academy Company makes a journalentry to record the payroll. For the week ending January 14 the entry is:
FICA Taxes Payable 1,376.80Federal Income Taxes Payable 3,490.00State Income Taxes Payable 344.20United Way Payable 421.50Union Dues Payable 115.00Salaries and Wages Payable 11,462.50
(To record payroll for the week endingJanuary 14)
The company credits specific liability accounts for the mandatory and voluntarydeductions made during the pay period. In the example, Academy debits OfficeSalaries Expense for the gross earnings of salaried office workers, and it debitsWages 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 individualchecks the employees will receive.

Recording Payment of the PayrollA company makes payments by check (or electronic funds transfer) either from itsregular 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 grossearnings, 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-10shows the paycheck and statement of earnings for Michael Jordan.
Following payment of the payroll, the company enters the check numbers inthe payroll register. Academy Company records payment of the payroll as follows.
Jan. 14 Salaries and Wages Payable 11,462.50Cash 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 coinsand 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) federalunemployment tax, and (3) state unemployment tax.These taxes plus suchitems as paid vacations and pensions (discussed in the appendix to thischapter) are collectively referred to as fringe benefits.As indicated earlier, the costof fringe benefits in many companies is substantial. The pie chart in the marginshows the pieces of the benefits “pie.”
FICA TaxesEach employee must pay FICA taxes. In addition, employers must match eachemployee’s FICA contribution. The matching contribution results in payroll taxexpense 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 TaxesPayable, 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 TaxesThe Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) is another feature of the federalSocial Security program. Federal unemployment taxes provide benefits for a lim-ited period of time to employees who lose their jobs through no fault of theirown. The FUTA tax rate is 6.2% of taxable wages. The taxable wage base is thefirst $7,000 of wages paid to each employee in a calendar year. Employers who

DO ITYour cousin Stan is establishing a house-cleaning business and will have a num-ber of employees working for him. He is aware that documentation proceduresare an important part of internal control. But he is unsure about the differencebetween an employee earnings record and a payroll register. He asks you toexplain the principal differences, because he wants to be sure that he sets up theproper 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 generalledger accounts.
■ Explain the difference between the employee earnings record and the payrollregister.
Solution An employee earnings record is kept for each employee. It showsgross earnings, payroll deductions, and net pay for each pay period, as wellas cumulative payroll data for that employee. In contrast, a payroll registeris a listing of all employees’ gross earnings, payroll deductions, and net payfor each pay period. It is the documentation for preparing paychecks and forrecording 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 ofup 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 deductionor withholding from employees. Companies use the account Federal UnemploymentTaxes Payable to recognize this liability. The federal unemployment tax forAcademy Company for the January 14 payroll is $137.68 ($17,210.00 � 0.8%).
State Unemployment TaxesAll states have unemployment compensation programs under state unemploymenttax 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 duringthe 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%. Companieswith a history of unstable employment may pay more than the basic rate. Regardlessof 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 payrollis $929.34 ($17,210.00 � 5.4%). Illustration D-11 summarizes the types of em-ployer payroll taxes.

Recording Employer Payroll TaxesCompanies usually record employer payroll taxes at the same time they record thepayroll. The entire amount of gross pay ($17,210.00) shown in the payroll registerin Illustration D-9 is subject to each of the three taxes mentioned above.Accordingly,Academy records the payroll tax expense associated with the January14 payroll with the entry shown on page D13.
(To record employer’s payroll taxes on January 14 payroll)
Note that Academy uses separate liability accounts instead of a single credit toPayroll Taxes Payable. Why? Because these liabilities are payable to different tax-ing authorities at different dates. Companies classify the liability accounts in thebalance sheet as current liabilities since they will be paid within the next year.Theyclassify Payroll Tax Expense on the income statement as an operating expense.

FILING AND REMITTING PAYROLL TAXESPreparation of payroll tax returns is the responsibility of the payroll department.The treasurer’s department makes the tax payment. Much of the information forthe returns is obtained from employee earnings records.
For purposes of reporting and remitting to the IRS, the Company combines theFICA taxes and federal income taxes that it withheld. Companies must report thetaxes quarterly, no later than one month following the close of each quarter. Theremitting requirements depend on the amount of taxes withheld and the length ofthe pay period. Companies remit funds through deposits in either a FederalReserve bank or an authorized commercial bank.
Companies generally file and remit federal unemployment taxes annually onor before January 31 of the subsequent year. Earlier payments are required whenthe tax exceeds a specified amount. Companies usually must file and pay stateunemployment taxes by the end of the month following each quarter.When payrolltaxes 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 statementshows gross earnings, FICA taxes withheld, and income taxes withheld for theyear. The required W-2 form for Michael Jordan, using assumed annual data, isshown in Illustration D-12.

1 Discuss the objectives of internal control for payroll.The objectives of internal control for payroll are (1) tosafeguard company assets against unauthorized paymentsof payrolls, and (2) to ensure the accuracy and reliability ofthe accounting records pertaining to payrolls.
2 Compute and record the payroll for a pay period. Thecomputation of the payroll involves gross earnings, payrolldeductions, 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 fornet pay. When the payroll is paid, Salaries and WagesPayable is debited, and Cash is credited.
3 Describe and record employer payroll taxes. Employerpayroll taxes consist of FICA, federal unemployment taxes,and state unemployment taxes. The taxes are usuallyaccrued at the time the payroll is recorded by debitingPayroll Tax Expense and crediting separate liabilityaccounts for each type of tax.

CRITICAL THINKINGDecision Making Across the OrganizationBYPD-2 Summerville Processing Company provides word-processing services for businessclients and students in a university community. The work for business clients is fairly steadythroughout 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, thecompany hired four experienced employees on a permanent basis instead of using part-timehelp.This proved to be much better in terms of productivity and customer satisfaction. But, it hascaused 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 experiencedworkers 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 theworkers 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 isadopted, Nancy will terminate the employment of two permanent employees and will keep twopermanent 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% stateunemployment taxes.The unemployment taxes apply to only the first $7,000 of gross earnings. Inaddition, Summerville Processing pays $40 per month for each employee for medical and dentalinsurance.
Nancy indicates that if the Davidson Services plan is accepted, her needs for workers will beas follows.
InstructionsWith 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 ActivityBYPD-3 Ivan Blanco, president of the Blue Sky Company, has recently hired a number ofadditional employees. He recognizes that additional payroll taxes will be due as a result of thishiring, and that the company will serve as the collection agent for other taxes.
InstructionsIn a memorandum to Ivan Blanco, explain each of the taxes, and identify the taxes that result inpayroll tax expense to Blue Sky Company.
Ethics CaseBYPD-4 Johnny Fuller owns and manages Johnny’s Restaurant, a 24-hour restaurant near thecity’s medical complex. Johnny employs 9 full-time employees and 16 part-time employees. Hepays all of the full-time employees by check, the amounts of which are determined by Johnny’spublic accountant, Mary Lake. Johnny pays all of his part-time employees in cash. He computestheir 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 hiscompetitor 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 OFSUBSIDIARY LEDGERS
Imagine a business that has several thousand charge (credit) customersand shows the transactions with these customers in only one generalledger account—Accounts Receivable. It would be nearly impossible todetermine the balance owed by an individual customer at any specifictime. Similarly, the amount payable to one creditor would be difficult to locatequickly 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 accountsin alphabetical order.
A general ledger account summarizes the detailed data from a subsidiaryledger. For example, the detailed data from the accounts receivable subsidiaryledger are summarized in Accounts Receivable in the general ledger. The gen-eral ledger account that summarizes subsidiary ledger data is called a controlaccount. 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 andsubsidiary ledger accounts are in green. Note that cash and owner’s capital in this

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 accountsrelated 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 relatedsubsidiary ledger. For example, the balance in Accounts Payable in Illustration E-1must 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 AccountsReceivable in the general ledger to the detailed debits and credits in the subsidiaryaccounts. Also, the balance of $4,000 in the control account agrees with the total ofthe 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 financialstatements. Companies post to the individual accounts in the subsidiary ledgerdaily. Daily posting ensures that account information is current. This enables thecompany to monitor credit limits, bill customers, and answer inquiries from cus-tomers about their account balances.
Advantages of Subsidiary LedgersSubsidiary 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 thegeneral 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 tothe 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 generaljournal 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 oftransactions that occur frequently in a company determine what special journalsthe company uses. Most merchandising enterprises record daily transactions usingthe journals shown in Illustration E-4.
Explain how companies usespecial journals in journalizing.

Used for:
If a transaction cannot be recorded in a special journal, the company records it inthe general journal. For example, if a company had special journals for only the fourtypes of transactions listed above, it would record purchase returns and allowances inthe general journal. Similarly, correcting, adjusting, and closing entries are recordedin the general journal. In some situations, companies might use special journals otherthan 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 canrecord entries in different journals at the same time. For example, one employeemay journalize all cash receipts, and another may journalize all credit sales. Also,the use of special journals reduces the time needed to complete the postingprocess.With special journals, companies may post some accounts monthly, insteadof daily, as we will illustrate later in the chapter. On the following pages, we discussthe four special journals shown in Illustration E-4.
In the sales journal, companies record sales of merchandise on account. Cash salesof merchandise go in the cash receipts journal. Credit sales of assets other thanmerchandise go in the general journal.
Journalizing Credit SalesTo 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 salesjournal results in one entry at selling price and another entry at cost. The entry atselling price is a debit to Accounts Receivable (a control account) and a credit ofequal amount to Sales. The entry at cost is a debit to Cost of Goods Sold and acredit of equal amount to Merchandise Inventory (a control account). Using a salesjournal with two amount columns, the company can show on only one line a salestransaction at both selling price and cost. Illustration E-5 shows this two-columnsales journal of Karns Wholesale Supply, using assumed credit sales transactions(for sales invoices 101–107).

Illustration E-5Journalizing the salesjournal—perpetualinventory system
Note several points: Unlike the general journal, an explanation is not requiredfor each entry in a special journal. Also, use of prenumbered invoices ensures thatall 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 JournalCompanies make daily postings from the sales journal to the individual accountsreceivable 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 thatthe daily posting to the customer’s account has been made. If the subsidiary ledgeraccounts were numbered, the account number would be entered in place of thecheck 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 acredit 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 toMerchandise Inventory (account No. 120). Karns inserts the account numbers

The subsidiary ledger is separatefrom the general ledger.
Accounts Receivable is a controlaccount.
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 creditbalance in Merchandise Inventory, which exists only until the other journals are posted.
Illustration E-6Posting the sales journal
below the column totals to indicate that the postings have been made. In both thegeneral ledger and subsidiary ledger accounts, the reference S1 indicates that theposting came from page 1 of the sales journal.
Proving the LedgersThe 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 mustequal the balance in the control account. Illustration E-7 shows the proof of thepostings from the sales journal to the general and subsidiary ledger.
Cash Receipts Journal E7
Advantages of the Sales JournalUse of a special journal to record sales on account has several advantages. First, theone-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 postingtime 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 JOURNALIn 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 ofaccounts receivable. Many other possibilities exist, such as receipt of money frombank loans and cash proceeds from disposal of equipment. A one- or two-columncash 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 columnsfor 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 debitsCost 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 individualamounts to the subsidiary ledger daily.
At the end of the accounting period, thecompany posts totals to the general ledger.
Illustration E-8Journalizing and posting thecash receipts journal
Companies may use additional credit columns if these columns significantlyreduce postings to a specific account. For example, a loan company, such asHousehold International, receives thousands of cash collections from customers.Using separate credit columns for Loans Receivable and Interest Revenue, ratherthan the Other Accounts credit column, would reduce postings.
Journalizing Cash Receipts TransactionsTo illustrate the journalizing of cash receipts transactions, we will continue with theMay transactions of Karns Wholesale Supply. Collections from customers relate tothe entries recorded in the sales journal in Illustration E-5. The entries in the cashreceipts 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 becredited to the individual customer’s account.
4. Sales. The Sales column records all cash sales of merchandise. Cash sales ofother assets (plant assets, for example) are not reported in this column.
5. Other Accounts. Karns uses the Other Accounts column whenever the credit isother 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 referredto 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 thecollection from Abbot Sisters on May 10, for example, three amounts are indicated.Note also that the Account Credited column identifies both general ledger andsubsidiary 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 TWhen is an account titleentered in the “AccountCredited” column of thecash receipts journal?Answer: A subsidiaryledger account is enteredwhen the entry involves acollection of accounts receivable. A generalledger account is enteredwhen the account is notshown in a specialcolumn (and an amountmust be entered in theOther Accounts column).Otherwise, no account isshown in the “AccountCredited” column.
and May 22 entries. A subsidiary account is illustrated in the May 10 entry for thecollection from Abbot Sisters.
When Karns has finished journalizing a multi-column journal, it totals theamount columns and compares the totals to prove the equality of debits andcredits. Illustration E-9 shows the proof of the equality of Karns’s cash receiptsjournal.
E10 Appendix E Subsidiary Ledgers and Special Journals
Illustration E-9Proving the equality of thecash receipts journal Debits Credits
Totaling the columns of a journal and proving the equality of the totals is calledfooting and cross-footing a journal.
Posting the Cash Receipts JournalPosting a multi-column journal involves the following steps.
1. At the end of the month, the company posts all column totals, exceptfor the Other Accounts total, to the account title(s) specified in thecolumn heading (such as Cash or Accounts Receivable). The companythen 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 accountNo. 120, sales to account No. 401, sales discounts to account No. 414, and cost ofgoods sold to account No. 505.
2. The company separately posts the individual amounts comprising theOther Accounts total to the general ledger accounts specified in theAccount Credited column. See, for example, the credit posting to CommonStock: The total amount of this column has not been posted. The symbol (X) isinserted below the total to this column to indicate that the amount has notbeen 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 ledgeraccount specified in the Account Credited column. See, for example, the creditposting of $10,600 to Abbot Sisters.
The symbol CR, used in both the subsidiary and general ledgers, identifies postingsfrom the cash receipts journal.
Proving the LedgersAfter 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, thesum of the subsidiary ledger balances equals the control account balance.
Indicate how companies post amulti-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 acredit 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 wouldhave 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 otherthan merchandise often expand the purchases journal to a multi-column format.(See Illustration E-14 on page E13.)
Journalizing Credit Purchases of MerchandiseThe journalizing procedure is similar to that for a sales journal. Companies makeentries in the purchases journal from purchase invoices. In contrast to the salesjournal, the purchases journal may not have an invoice number column, becauseinvoices received from different suppliers will not be in numerical sequence.To en-sure that they record all purchase invoices, some companies consecutively numbereach invoice upon receipt and then use an internal document number column inthe purchases journal. The entries for Karns Wholesale Supply are based on theassumed credit purchases listed in Illustration E-12 (page E12).
Posting the Purchases JournalThe procedures for posting the purchases journal are similar to those for the salesjournal. In this case, Karns makes daily postings to the accounts payable ledger; itmakes monthly postings to Merchandise Inventory and Accounts Payable in thegeneral ledger. In both ledgers, Karns uses P1 in the reference column to show thatthe postings are from page 1 of the purchases journal.
Proof of the equality of the postings from the purchases journal to both ledgersis shown in Illustration E-13 (page E13).

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 mustidentify a specific general ledger account in the Account Debited column.The entriesfor checks No. 101, 102, 103, and 108 illustrate this situation. Similarly, Karns mustidentify a subsidiary account in the Account Debited column whenever it enters anamount 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. Thetotals are then balanced to prove the equality of debits and credits.
Posting the Cash Payments JournalThe procedures for posting the cash payments journal are similar to those for thecash 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 postsMerchandise Inventory and Cash only in total at the end of the month.Transactionsin 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 Karnsuses 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.

Illustration E-16Proving the ledgers afterpostings from the sales,cash receipts, purchases,and cash payments journals
Special journals for sales, purchases, and cash substantially reduce the number ofentries that companies make in the general journal. Only transactions that cannotbe entered in a special journal are recorded in the general journal. For example, acompany may use the general journal to record such transactions as granting ofcredit 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, andpurchase of equipment by issuing a note payable. Also, correcting, adjusting, andclosing 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 notinvolved, the procedures for journalizing and posting of transactions are the sameas 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.

To illustrate, assume that on May 31, Karns Wholesale Supply returns $500 ofmerchandise for credit to Fabor and Son. Illustration E-17 shows the entry in thegeneral journal and the posting of the entry. Note that if Karns receives cashinstead of credit on this return, then it would record the transaction in the cashreceipts journal.
Note that the general journal indicates two accounts (Accounts Payable, andFabor 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’saccount in the subsidiary ledger.

Cassandra Wilson Company uses a six-column cash receipts journal with the followingcolumns:
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 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 inthe cash receipts journal.
✔ The “account credited”indicates items posted indi-vidually to the subsidiaryledger or general ledger.
✔ Record cash sales in thecash receipts journal—notin the sales journal.
✔ The total debits mustequal the total credits.
1 Describe the nature and purpose of a subsidiaryledger. A subsidiary ledger is a group of accounts with acommon characteristic. It facilitates the recording process byfreeing the general ledger from details of individual balances.
2 Explain how companies use special journals in journal-izing. Companies use special journals to group similartypes of transactions. In a special journal, generally onlyone 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 theaccount title specified in the column heading.
(b) Companies do not post the total of the Other Accountscolumn. Instead, the individual amounts comprisingthe total are posted separately to the general ledgeraccounts specified in the Account Credited (Debited)column.
(c) The individual amounts in a column posted in total to acontrol account are posted daily to the subsidiary ledgeraccounts specified in the Account Credited (Debited)column.
Accounts payable (creditors’) subsidiary ledger A sub-sidiary ledger that collects transaction data of individualcreditors. (p. E1).
Accounts receivable (customers’) subsidiary ledger Asubsidiary ledger that collects transaction data of individualcustomers. (p. E1).
Cash payments (disbursements) journal A special journalthat records all cash paid. (p. E13).

Communication ActivityBYPE-4 Barb Doane, a classmate, has a part-time bookkeeping job. She is concerned aboutthe 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 hiredtwo additional bookkeepers a month ago. However, the inefficiencies have continued at an evenhigher rate. The accounting information system for the company has only a general journal anda general ledger. Jim refuses to install an electronic accounting system.
InstructionsNow that Barb is an expert in manual accounting information systems, she decides to send aletter to Jim Houser explaining (1) why the additional personnel did not help and (2) whatchanges should be made to improve the efficiency of the accounting department. Write the let-ter that you think Barb should send.
Ethics CaseBYPE-5 Roniger Products Company operates three divisions, each with its own manufactur-ing plant and marketing/sales force. The corporate headquarters and central accounting officeare in Roniger, and the plants are in Freeport, Rockport, and Bayport, all within 50 miles ofRoniger. 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 andmost profitable division.
Jose Molina is the manager of Roniger’s centralized computer accounting operation thatenters the sales transactions and maintains the accounts receivable for all three divisions. Josecame up in the accounting ranks from the Bayport division where his wife, several relatives, andmany friends still work.
As sales documents are entered into the computer, the originating division is identifiedby code. Most sales documents (95%) are coded, but some (5%) are not coded or are codedincorrectly. As the manager, Jose has instructed the data-entry personnel to assign the Bayportcode to all uncoded and incorrectly coded sales documents. This is done he says, “in order toexpedite processing and to keep the computer files current since they are updated daily.” Allreceivables and cash collections for all three divisions are handled by Roniger as one subsidiaryaccounts receivable ledger.

Other Significant Liabilities
Appendix F
In addition to the current and long-term liabilities discussed in Chapter 11, severalmore 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 liabilitieswill be discussed in this appendix. They are: (a) contingent liabilities, (b) lease lia-bilities, and (c) additional liabilities for employee fringe benefits (paid absencesand 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.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIESWith notes payable, interest payable, accounts payable, and sales taxespayable, we know that an obligation to make a payment exists. But sup-pose that your company is involved in a dispute with the Internal RevenueService (IRS) over the amount of its income tax liability. Should you re-port the disputed amount as a liability on the balance sheet? Or supposeyour 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 aredifficult, because these liabilities are dependent—contingent—upon some futureevent. In other words, a contingent liability is a potential liability that may becomean actual liability in the future.
How should companies report contingent liabilities? They use the followingguidelines:
1. If the contingency is probable (if it is likely to occur) and the amount can bereasonably estimated, the liability should be recorded in the accounts.
2. If the contingency is only reasonably possible (if it could happen), then it needsto 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 recordedor disclosed.
Recording a Contingent LiabilityProduct warranties are an example of a contingent liability that companies shouldrecord in the accounts. Warranty contracts result in future costs that companiesmay incur in replacing defective units or repairing malfunctioning units. Generally,

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 warrantycosts. From prior experience with the product, the company usually can reasonablyestimate 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 2008Denson Manufacturing Company sells 10,000 washers and dryers at an averageprice of $600 each.The selling price includes a one-year warranty on parts. Densonexpects 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, ata total cost of $24,000.
At December 31, it is necessary to accrue the estimated warranty costs on the2008 sales. Denson computes the estimated warranty liability as follows.
F2 Appendix F Other Significant Liabilities
Number of units sold 10,000Estimated rate of defective units � 5%
Total estimated defective units 500Average warranty repair cost � $80

Jan. 1� Estimated Warranty Liability 24,000Dec. 31 Repair Parts 24,000

The company reports warranty expense of $40,000 under selling expenses in theincome 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 Liabilityall 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 January2009 is:
Jan. 31 Estimated Warranty Liability 1,600Repair Parts 1,600

that may require disclosure are pending or threatened lawsuits and assessment ofadditional income taxes pending an IRS audit of the tax return.
The disclosure should identify the nature of the item and, if known, the amountof 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 thefollowing.
Lease Liabilities F3
The required disclosure for contingencies is a good example of the use of thefull-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 inthe notes to the financial statements will help investors be aware of events that canaffect the financial health of a company.

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

LEASE LIABILITIESA 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 specificproperty for a period of time in return for cash payments. Leasing is bigbusiness. U.S. companies leased an estimated $125 billion of capital equip-ment in a recent year. This represents approximately one-third of equipmentfinanced that year. The two most common types of leases are operating leases andcapital leases.
Operating LeasesThe renting of an apartment and the rental of a car at an airport are examples ofoperating leases. In an operating lease the intent is temporary use of the propertyby the lessee, while the lessor continues to own the property.
In an operating lease, the lessee records the lease (or rental) payments as anexpense. The lessor records the payments as revenue. For example, assume that asales representative for Western Inc. leases a car from Hertz Car Rental at the LosAngeles airport and that Hertz charges a total of $275. Western, the lessee, recordsthe rental as follows:

Cash Flows�275
The lessee may incur other costs during the lease period. For example, in the caseabove, Western will generally incur costs for gas. Western would report these costsas an expense.
Capital LeasesIn most lease contracts, the lessee makes a periodic payment and records thatpayment in the income statement as rent expense. In some cases, however, thelease contract transfers to the lessee substantially all the benefits and risks ofownership. Such a lease is in effect a purchase of the property. This type of leaseis a capital lease. Its name comes from the fact that the company capitalizes thepresent value of the cash payments for the lease and records that amount as anasset. Illustration F-3 indicates the major difference between operating andcapital leases.
F4 Appendix F Other Significant Liabilities
If any one of the following conditions exists, the lessee must record a lease asan asset—that is, as a capital lease:
1. The lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee. Rationale: If duringthe 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 ofthe lease the lessee can purchase the asset at a price substantially below its fairmarket value, the lessee will exercise this option.Thus, the lessee should reportthe 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 lesseeshould 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 leasepayments is equal to or almost equal to the fair market value of the asset, thelessee has essentially purchased the asset. As a result, the lessee should reportthe leased asset as an asset on its books.
H E L P F U L H I N TA capital lease situationis one that, althoughlegally a rental case, is insubstance an installmentpurchase by the lessee.Accounting standards re-quire that substance overform be used in such asituation.

Capitallease
“Have it backby 6:00 Sunday.”
“OK!”
Lessor has substantially all of thebenefits and risks of ownership
“Only 3 morepayments and this baby

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, whichis 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. Conditions3 and 4 have been met. First, the lease term is 75% or more of the economic life ofthe asset. Second, the present value of cash payments is equal to the equipment’sfair market value. Gonzalez records the transaction as follows.
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 leaseliability expected to be paid in the next year is a current liability. The remainder isclassified 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, inturn, may make it more difficult for the company to obtain needed fundsfrom lenders. As a result, companies attempt to keep leased assets andlease liabilities off the balance sheet by structuring leases so as not to meetany of the four conditions mentioned on page F4. The practice of keepingliabilities 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 AppendixD (FICA taxes and state and federal unemployment taxes), employers in-cur other substantial fringe benefit costs. Indeed, fringe benefits have beengrowing faster than pay. In a recent year, benefits equaled 38 percent ofwages and salaries.While vacations and other forms of paid leave still takethe biggest bite out of the benefits pie, as shown in Illustration F-4, medical costsare the fastest-growing item.
Illustration F-4The fringe benefits pieBENEFITS
3% Disability and life insurance
23% Legally required benefitssuch as Social Security
24% Medical benefits
37% Vacation and other benefitssuch as parental and sick leaves, child care
13% Retirement incomesuch as pensions
We discuss two of the most important fringe benefits—paid absences andpostretirement benefits—in this section.
Identify additional fringe benefitsassociated with employeecompensation.
S T U D Y O B J E C T I V E 3
Paid AbsencesEmployees 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 isprobable 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 isthe only paid absence that is accrued. The other types of paid absences are onlydisclosed.1
To illustrate, assume that Academy Company employees are entitled to oneday’s vacation for each month worked. If 30 employees earn an average of $110 perday in a given month, the accrual for vacation benefits in one month is $3,300. Theliability is recognized at the end of the month by the following adjusting entry.
This accrual is required by the matching principle.Academy would report VacationBenefits Expense as an operating expense in the income statement, and VacationBenefits Payable as a current liability in the balance sheet.
Later, when Academy pays vacation benefits, it debits Vacation BenefitsPayable and credits Cash. For example, if the above benefits for 10 employees arepaid in July, the entry is:
July 31 Vacation Benefits Payable 1,100Cash 1,100
(To record payment of vacation benefits)
The magnitude of unpaid absences has gained employers’ attention. Considerthe case of an assistant superintendent of schools who worked for 20 years andrarely 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 schooldistrict had never accrued the liability.
Postretirement BenefitsPostretirement benefits are benefits provided by employers to retired employeesfor (1) health care and life insurance and (2) pensions. For many years theaccounting for postretirement benefits was on a cash basis. Companies now ac-count for both types of postretirement benefits on the accrual basis. The cost ofpostretirement benefits is getting steep. For example, General Motor’s pension andhealth-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 themortgage on their home) and has little in the way of savings. What will happen atretirement 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 moraldilemmas 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 thisdilemma.
POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH-CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITSProviding medical and related health-care benefits for retirees was at one time aninexpensive and highly effective way of generating employee goodwill. This prac-tice has now turned into one of corporate America’s most worrisome financialproblems. Runaway medical costs, early retirement, and increased longevity aresending the liability for retiree health plans through the roof.
Many companies began offering retiree health-care coverage in the form ofMedicare supplements in the 1960s. Almost all plans operated on a pay-as-you-gobasis. The companies simply paid for the bills as they came in, rather than settingaside funds to meet the cost of future benefits. These plans were accounted for onthe cash basis. But, the FASB concluded that shareholders and creditors shouldknow the amount of the employer’s obligations. As a result, employers must nowuse the accrual basis in accounting for postretirement health-care and life insur-ance benefits.
PENSION PLANSA 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 pensionfunds. Most pension plans are subject to the provisions of ERISA (EmployeeRetirement 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 contributionsfrom the employer, invests the pension assets, and makes the benefit payments tothe pension recipients (retired employees). Illustration F-5 indicates the flow ofcash 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 eachyear toward employee pensions. The most popular type of pension plan used is the401(k) plan. A 401(k) plan works as follows: As an employee, you can contribute upto a certain percentage of your pay into a 401(k) plan, and your employer will matcha percentage of your contribution.These contributions are then generally invested instocks and bonds through mutual funds. These funds will grow without being taxedand 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 thecompany’s income statement. Frequently, the amount contributed by the companyto the pension plan is different from the amount of the pension expense. A liabilityis 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 lessthan the company’s contributions to date. Further consideration of the accountingfor pension plans is left for more advanced courses.
The two most common types of pension arrangements for providing benefitsto employees after they retire are defined-contribution plans and defined-benefitplans.
Defined-Contribution Plan. In a defined-contribution plan, the plan defines theemployer’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 periodbased 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 inthe plan. As a result, the employer’s obligation is easily determined. It follows thatthe 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-contributionplan in which it contributes $200,000 each year to the pension fund for its employees.The entry to record this transaction is:
Pension Expense 200,000Cash 200,000
(To record pension expense and contribution topension fund)
To the extent that Alba did not contribute the $200,000 defined contribution, itwould record a liability. Pension payments to retired employees are made from thepension fund by the plan administrator.
Defined-Benefit Plan. In a defined-benefit plan, the benefits that the employeewill receive at the time of retirement are defined by the terms of the plan. Benefitsare typically calculated using a formula that considers an employee’s compensationlevel when he or she nears retirement and the employee’s years of service. Becausethe 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 availableat retirement to meet the benefits promised. This funding level depends on a num-ber of factors such as employee turnover, length of service, mortality, compensationlevels, and investment earnings. The proper accounting for these plans is complexand is considered in more advanced accounting courses.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS AS LONG-TERM LIABILITIESWhile 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 greaterportion of these liabilities extends many years into the future. Therefore, manycompanies are required to report significant amounts as long-term liabilities forpostretirement benefits.

Express has decided that it needs to purchase a new crane for its operations. The new cranecosts $900,000 and has a useful life of 15 years. However, Express’s bank has refused to provideany help in financing the purchase of the new equipment, even though Express is willing to payan above-market interest rate for the financing.
The chief financial officer for Express, Lisa Colder, has discussed with the manufacturer ofthe crane the possibility of a lease agreement. After some negotiation, the crane manufactureragrees 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 havethe 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.
InstructionsWith 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”?
