P R E FA C E

Intermediate Accounting: Principles and Analysis, Second Edition, provides a solid foundation for instructors whose goal is to help accounting students build an understanding of
the principles, concepts, and methods of financial accounting and reporting. To that end,
we address the following key themes that users have identified as important in their intermediate accounting courses.



Go “beyond the numbers”
The importance of accounting to the capital market and the business community in general
has never been more important. In Intermediate Accounting, Second Edition, boxed stories
entitled “What Do the Numbers Mean?” convey the excitement and ever-changing nature of
accounting, highlighting its importance. We have found that when introduced to the issues involved in the financial reporting of real companies, students genuinely enjoy the subject area.



“What’s the principle?”
An important instructional objective in Intermediate Accounting, Second Edition, is to
reinforce students’ understanding of the principles and concepts that are fundamental to
financial reporting. Most students quickly forget procedural details, but they can internalize
principles and concepts that will serve as important cornerstones for decision making
throughout their careers. Concepts are especially important in a world in which the details
are frequently changing. Furthermore, a conceptual orientation is consistent with the evolving orientation toward principles-based, as opposed to rules-based, accounting standards.

• Active learning_“Try it out!”
Students learn best when they are actively engaged. An overriding pedagogical approach

for the book is to provide students opportunities for active learning. Each chapter contains
strategically placed “Try it out!”exercises (with worked-out solutions) that give added opportunities for active learning.


“You need to decide”
All business people and accounting professionals must make decisions. Decision making
involves critical evaluation and analysis of information. A new review exercise in each chapter, titled “Accounting, Analysis, Principles,” helps students evaluate and analyze information from the chapter. They review the accounting introduced in the chapter (“Accounting”),
consider how the information provided by the accounting is useful to investors and creditors (“Analysis”), and reflect on how the accounting is related to accounting principles and
concepts (“Principles”). Such exercises, reinforced with end-of-chapter homework activities, give students the practice they will need to build decision-making skills using the
accounting concepts and procedures they are learning.



“What can you do?”
Students need to develop competencies that will be useful in their careers. As described
above, the book provides multiple opportunities for students to develop the critical thinking
and analysis skills that will be the backbone of career competency. In addition, explicit writing components in end-of-chapter assignments require students to practice communication
skills. Other assignments for use by students working in groups help develop facility in group
problem solving, a skill useful in the working world.
In addition, for those students who will eventually sit for the CPA exam, we offer interactive integrative problems at the book’s companion website that mirror the new computerized exam. Finally, each chapter also contains stand-alone financial accounting research cases using the Financial Accounting Research System (FARS) database.

Preface

BOOK RATIONALE AND ORGANIZATION

Some

instructors have expressed a desire for a slightly different type of book for the
intermediate accounting course. They asked for something that would enable them to have
more time to develop various professional competencies, such as analysis and communication skills, and to place more emphasis on applying accounting concepts in various settings, such as in oral and written presentations and with introduction of more technology
and other enhancements. Still others have expressed a need for a book that will better help
students cope with the complexity and rigor of the intermediate course. Intermediate
Accounting: Principles and Analysis, Second Edition, is intended to address those stated
needs.
With 18 chapters, this book meets the needs of various audiences. Instructors who
intend to use the textbook over two semesters can enhance the book with additional readings, cases, exercises, or other professional-competency activities. Instructors who wish to
cover the book in a single semester can do so, by omitting some subject material, but still
have complete treatment of the topics covered. Because the book provides the core concepts
that must be covered in intermediate accounting, instructors can use this textbook in graduate, masters, and MBA courses. The 18-chapter book also provides additional flexibility to
instructors who are interested in teaching a corporate reporting course. For an overview of
the chapter sequence, see the Brief Contents list on page xxi.
The underlying theme around which each chapter is based is to learn the accounting for
various transactions (accounting), to use the accounting in various decision-making contexts
(analysis), and to develop understanding of the concepts or principles underlying the
accounting treatment (principles).

Organization
The book’s organization offers an integrated framework in which to study the essential
concepts of intermediate accounting. The first two chapters discuss the standard-setting
process, starting with the institutional structure and following with the conceptual framework. A review of the accounting process then follows in Chapter 3, as a refresher on basic
understanding of the recording process, which is intended to bring all students up to the
same level.
The next three chapters address the three major financial statements—the balance
sheet, the income statement, and (in a separate chapter) the statement of cash flows.
Revenue recognition is moved up in the “batting order” (relative to its position in

Kieso, ... Intermediate Accounting, Twelfth Edition) and appears next, as Chapter 7.
Chapters 6 and 7 represent a change from the first edition, where cash flows and revenue
recognition were covered in a single chapter (Chapter 6). Separation of these important
topics into two chapters makes possible a more complete discussion of the statement of
cash flows and income measurement concepts that are important to subsequent chapter
topics.
What then follows, in Chapters 8 through 14, is a discussion of the basic issues related to cash and receivables, inventories, plant assets, intangible assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, and investments. Following these basic-issues chapters are chapters
(Chapters 15 through 17) on the important topics of income taxes, compensation (including pensions and stock options), and leases. We complete the chapter-length coverage with
discussion in Chapter 18 of other reporting and disclosure issues, including accounting
changes and earnings per share.
Two end-of-book appendices address time value of money concepts and applications
(Appendix A) and reporting cash flows (Appendix B). Another seven appendices dealing
with more specialized accounting topics are available at the book’s companion website. See
the Brief Contents on page xxi for the complete list of online appendices.

Preface

Throughout all chapters, we balance discussion of concepts and applications so that
these elements are mutually reinforcing. In addition, we focus discussion on explaining the
rationale behind business transactions before addressing the accounting and reporting for
those activities.

Distinctive Content Areas
The following are the distinctive content areas of the book.

Separate Chapters on Cash Flows and Revenue Recognition
Many users requested earlier discussion of the statement of cash flows and revenue

recognition. Intermediate Accounting, Second Edition, provides us the opportunity to
address both these desires. In Chapter 6, we present a substantive discussion of the cash
flow statement. We transition from the discussion of cash flows in Chapter 6 to revenue
recognition in Chapter 7 with its accrual concepts, to provide a perspective on the use
of various performance measurements. Given that many companies report pro-forma
earnings numbers that range from cash flow per share to earnings before interest and
taxes, the logic of discussing cash flow and revenue recognition in sequence seemed
appropriate.
Chapter on Compensation
Intermediate Accounting, Second Edition, features a chapter on compensation, including
the topics of payroll, stock options, and pensions. The content in the area is very similar
to the treatment in Kieso, Intermediate Accounting, Twelfth Edition.

Combined Chapters
One differentiating feature of Warfield, Intermediate Accounting, Second Edition, is that it
combines selected chapters that in Kieso, Intermediate Accounting, Twelfth Edition, are separate chapters. We carefully planned and executed this combination of related topics, which
makes possible a textbook that can be covered in a single semester, in order to provide adequate topic coverage for the second course in financial reporting. The combined chapters
are as follows.

Inventories
Kieso, Intermediate Accounting, Twelfth Edition, covers inventories in two chapters because
of the many complexities associated with the topic. In order to distill coverage of inventories to one chapter, Warfield, Intermediate Accounting, Second Edition, omits certain topics related to managerial accounting. In addition, online appendices discuss specialized industry topics like the retail inventory method, but still permit adequate discussion of the
key concepts related to inventories in the chapter.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Warfield, Intermediate Accounting, Second Edition, combines two chapters—Property,
Plant, and Equipment, and Depreciation—from the longer book. In order to achieve a
single chapter of manageable length, we streamlined discussions related to interest capitalization and special depreciation methods. We moved the important topic of impairments to the intangibles chapter, so that this subject can be discussed fully in one place.
The subject matter related to depletion appears in an online appendix.
Liabilities
For Warfield, Intermediate Accounting, Second Edition, we streamlined and rewrote the two

chapters on liabilities for presentation in a single chapter on this topic.

OTHER FEATURES
Intermediate

Accounting: Principles and Analysis, Second Edition, is packaged with
many pedagogical tools to help students learn more effectively and to help instructors
respond to the changing needs of the course. We developed the following pedagogical
features based on extensive reviews, focus groups, interactions with intermediate accounting instructors and students, and our own experiences with the intermediate
accounting course.

Textbook Features
Chapter-Opening Vignettes
We have updated or added new chapter-opening stories to provide a real-world context that
helps motivate student interest in the chapter topic.
“What Do the Numbers Mean?” Boxes
As described earlier, What Do the Numbers Mean? boxes help students think about the realworld consequences of accounting. In this edition of the book, we have added critical thinking questions (Beyond the Numbers) at the end of each box. These questions encourage students to stretch their thinking about the boxed story and to relate it to underlying accounting
topics and concepts. Guideline answers at the end of the chapter provide immediately available feedback to students’ efforts.

What do the numbers mean?

You Have to Step Back


Should the accounting profession have principles-based standards or rules-based standards? Critics of
the profession today say that over the past three decades, standard-setters have moved away from broad
accounting principles aimed at ensuring that companies’ financial statements are fairly presented.
Instead, these critics say, standard-setters have moved toward drafting voluminous rules that, if
technically followed in “check-box” fashion, may shield auditors and companies from legal liability. That
has resulted in companies creating complex capital structures that comply with GAAP but hide billions
of dollars of debt and other obligations. To add fuel to the fire, the chief accountant of the enforcement
division of the SEC recently noted, “One can violate SEC laws and still comply with GAAP.”
In short, what he is saying is that it is not enough just to check the boxes. You then have to step
back and determine whether the overall impression created by GAAP financial statements fairly
portrays the underlying economics of the company. It is a tough standard, but one that auditors and
corporate management should strive to achieve.

Fraud Issues,” Wall Street Journal (February 12, 2002), p. C7. See also “Study Pursuant to Section 108(d) of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on the Adoption by the United States Financial Reporting System of a PrinciplesBased Accounting System,” SEC (July 25, 2003).

Beyond the Numbers
Do you believe that standard-setters should issue principle-based standards or rule-based standards?

WHAT’S THE PRINCIPLE?
Providing a supplemental schedule
with expense detail helps meet the
objectives of the full disclosure
principle.

“What’s the Principle?”
These marginal notes relate topics covered within each chapter back to the conceptual principles introduced in the beginning of the book. This continual reinforcement
of the essential concepts and principles illustrates how the concepts are applied in
practice and helps students understand the why, as well as the how.

“Try It Out” Exercises
New in the Second Edition, strategically placed Try It Out exercises, with accompanying
solutions, engage students in active learning as they work their way through a chapter.

“Convergence Corners”
Accounting is going global, led by the FASB and the IASB who are working on an ambitious convergence project to result in one set of high-quality accounting standards. Students
need to be informed of this important project. Thus, each chapter of the second edition contains a single-page discussion, called Convergence Corner, of the international accounting issues related to the chapter topics.
Each Convergence Corner consists of four sections: (1) An introduction which typically lists the current international pronouncements related to the chapter topic; (2) “Relevant Facts,” which explains similarities and differences of U.S. GAAP and international
standards (referred to as iGAAP); (3) “About the Numbers,” which provides an example of
application of iGAAP (in many cases, using real international companies); and (4) “On the
Horizon,” which discusses the convergence progress and plans related to that topic.

C O N V E R G E N C E

C O R N E R

International Financial Reporting
Most agree that there is a need for one set of international accounting standards. Here is why:
Multinational corporations. Today companies view the entire world as their market. For example, Coca-Cola,
Intel, and McDonald’s generate more than 50 percent of their sales outside the United States, and many foreign
companies find their largest market to be the United States.
Mergers and acquisitions. The mergers that led to international giants DaimlerChrysler and Vodafone/Mannesmann
suggest that we will see even more such mergers in the future.
Information technology. As communication barriers continue to topple through advances in technology, companies and individuals in different countries and markets are becoming comfortable buying and selling goods and
services from one another.
Financial markets. Financial markets are some of the most significant international markets today. Whether it is
currency, equity securities (stocks), bonds, or derivatives, there are active markets throughout the world trading
these types of instruments.


R E L E VA N T FA C T S
• iGAAP includes the standards, referred to as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), developed by the IASB. The predecessor to the IASB issued
International Accounting Standards (IAS). Both IFRS
and IAS are considered iGAAP.
• The fact that there are differences between U.S.
GAAP and iGAAP should not be surprising because
standard setters have developed standards in
response to different user needs. In some countries,
the primary users of financial statements are private
investors; in others, the primary users are tax
authorities or central government planners. In the
United States, investors and creditors have driven
accounting-standard formulation.

ABOUT THE NUMBERS
The IASB is a relatively new organization (formed in 2001). As a result,
it has looked to the United States to determine the structure it should
follow in establishing iGAAP. Thus, the standard-setting structure
internationally is very similar to the standard-setting structure in the
United States. Presented below is a chart of the international standard
setting structure.

• iGAAP tends to be simpler and less stringent in its
accounting and disclosure requirements. U.S. GAAP is
more detailed. This difference in approach has resulted in a debate about the merits of “principle-based” versus “rule-based” standards.
• Regulators have stated that by 2009 they want to eliminate the need for foreign companies that trade sharees in U.S. markets
to reconcile their accounting with U.S. GAAP.

ON THE HORIZON

Both the IASB and the FASB are hard at work developing standards that will lead to the elimination of major differences in the way certain transactions are accounted for and reported. In fact, the IASB has stated that no new major
standards will become effective until 2009. The major reason for this policy is to provide companies time to translate
and implement iGAAP into practice.
The international standard-setting environment is changing rapidly. The task will not be easy, but conditions are
conducive to convergence. As Mary Barth, a member of the IASB noted, “There is still a lot to do, but I would never
have dreamed we would be working as closely with the FASB as we do today.”

Preface

“Accounting, Analysis, Principles” Review
Also new in the Second Edition, the Accounting, Analysis, Principles review exercise, as
the first feature of the chapter-review apparatus, summarizes the three important elements
of each chapter. It helps students to review the accounting introduced in the chapter, to
consider how the information provided by the accounting can be analyzed and used by
investors and creditors, and to reflect on how the accounting is related to underlying
accounting principles and concepts. A full solution is provided.
ACCOUNTING, ANALYSIS, PRINCIPLES
William Murray achieved one of his life-long dreams by opening his own business, The Caddie
Shack Diving Range, on May 1, 2008. He invested $20,000 of his own savings in the business.
He paid $6,000 cash to have a small building constructed to house the operations and spent
$800 on golf clubs, golf balls, and yardage signs. Murray leased 4 acres of land at a cost of
$1,000 per month. (He paid the first month’s rent in cash.) During the first month, advertising costs totaled $750, of which $150 was unpaid at the end of the month. Murray paid his
three nephews $400 for retrieving golf balls. He deposited in the company’s bank account all
revenues from customers ($4,700). On May 15, Murray withdrew $800 in cash for personal
use. On May 31, the company received a utility bill for $100, but did not immediately pay

it. On May 31, the balance in the company bank account was $15,100.
Murray is feeling pretty good about results for the first month, but his estimate of profitability ranges from a loss of $4,900 to a profit of $1,650.
Accounting
a

b

Prepare a balance sheet at May 31, 2008. (Murray appropriately records any depreciation expense on a quarterly basis.) How could Murray have determined that the business operated at a profit of $1,650?
How could Murray conclude that the business operated at a loss of $4,900?

Analysis
c

Assume Murray has asked you to become a partner in his business. Under the partnership agreement, after paying him $10,000, you would share equally in all future
profits. Which of the two income measures above would be more useful in deciding
whether to become a partner? Explain.

Principles
d

What is income according to GAAP? What concepts do the differences in the three
income measures for The Caddie Shack Driving Range illustrate?

Solution
Accounting
a

A balance sheet for The Caddie Shack at May 31, 2008, would be:
Assets
Cash

Building
Equipment

$15,100
6,000
800

Total assets

$21,900

Liabilities and Capital
Advertising payable
$ 150
Utilities payable
100
Original capital
20,000
Change in capital
1,650
$21,900

Murray might conclude that income was $1,650 based on the change in capital from the
beginning of the month to the end of the month.
b

If Murray focused on the change in cash or the balance in the bank account, he would
conclude that the company had a loss of $4,900 ($20,000 – $15,900). This is income
measured on a cash basis.


Analysis
c

The income measure of $1,650 is most relevant for assessing the future profitability
and hence the payoffs to the owners. For example, charging the cost of the building

students to apply their accounting knowledge while expanding student competencies in
analysis and decision-making contexts.
Included in the Accounting in Action section are three sub-sections: Financial Reporting and Analysis, Concepts for Analysis, and Professional Tools. Homework materials in
each sub-section are as follows.

ACCOUNTING IN ACTION
Financial Reporting and Analysis
᭿ Financial Reporting Issues: The Procter & Gamble Company
AIA3-1

The financial statements of Procter & Gamble (P&G) can be accessed at the book’s website.

Instructions
Refer to P&G’s financial statements and the accompanying notes to answer the following questions.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)

What were P&G’s total assets at June 30, 2006? At June 30, 2005?
How much cash (and cash equivalents) did P&G have on June 30, 2006?
What were P&G’s research and development costs in 2004? In 2006?
What were P&G’s revenues in 2004? In 2006?


The Financial Reporting and Analysis section includes a Financial Reporting Problem
(focused in this edition on Procter & Gamble), Comparative Analysis (comparing The CocaCola Company to PepsiCo, Inc.), Financial Statement Analysis Cases (using a variety of
real-world companies), and in some chapters, an International Reporting Case. The international cases, based on real companies, are designed to illustrate international accounting
differences. A particular emphasis is on the implications of these differences for analysis,
which reinforces the user orientation of the Accounting in Action elements.
The Concepts for Analysis section contains numerous conceptual cases that focus on
reporting concepts and principles. Many of these cases are adapted from professional exams.

Preface

Students entering the accounting profession must demonstrate not only accounting
knowledge but also the ability to apply that knowledge and to use the tools that are used in
practice to solve accounting problems. To address these new demands, the Professional
Tools section in the Second Edition includes one or more Ethical Decision Making cases,
Financial Accounting Research (FARs) exercises, and an online Professional Simulation.
Professional Tools
᭿ Ethical Decision Making
AIA4-11 (Presentation of Property, Plant, and Equipment) Andrea Pafko, corporate comptroller for
Nicholson Industries, is trying to decide how to present “Property, plant, and equipment” in the balance sheet.
She realizes that the statement of cash flows will show that the company made a significant investment in purchasing new equipment this year, but overall she knows the company’s plant assets are rather old. She feels that
she can disclose one figure titled “Property, plant, and equipment, net of depreciation,” and the result will be a
low figure. However, it will not disclose the age of the assets. If she chooses to show the cost less accumulated
depreciation, the age of the assets will be apparent. She proposes the following.

The FARs exercises require students to use the Financial Accounting Research System
(FARS) database to perform accounting research of the authoritative literature. This skill is
increasingly required in the professional workplace and is tested on the computerized CPA
exam, so students will experience long-term benefits from the practice they get doing these
exercises as part of the intermediate accounting course.
The Accounting in Action section concludes by referring students to the book’s companion website where they can purchase a Professional Simulation related to the chapter
content. This exercise provides students with an interactive integrative context in which to
apply the concepts introduced in the chapter. The exercises are patterned after the computerized CPA exam that tests a candidate’s ability to read, digest, research, and respond to both
a numeric problem and a short-answer essay, and they expand on the professional competency elements that students will need to apply their accounting knowledge in the professional workplace. (For more on developing professional competencies, see the next section,
Gateway to the Profession Portal.)
