Illustration: During 2022, Stassi Corporation purchased IBM bonds for $10,500 as an investment, which it intends

was now $8,000. Stassi is required to reduce the recorded value of its IBM investment by the unrealized loss of
$2,500. Should Stassi include this $2,500 unrealized loss in net income? Assume a tax rate of 20%.
Trading securities: Unrealized gains and losses are reported in the “Other expenses and losses” section of the
income statement.
Available-for-sale securities: Unrealized gains and losses are reported as “Other comprehensive income” in
stockholders’ equity.

Changes in Accounting Principle
•
•
•
LO 1
Occurs when the principle used in the current year is different from the one used in the preceding
year
•
Example: Change in inventory costing methods such as FIFO to average-cost
Changes permitted when management can show that the new principle is preferable
Most changes in accounting principle reported retroactively
Copyright ©2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Quality of Earnings

A high quality of earnings provides full and transparent information that will not confuse
or mislead users
•
Reduction of quality of earnings
•
Caused by variations in alternative accounting methods used among companies which
hampers comparability
•
Examples
•
•
LO 1
FIFO versus LIFO inventory cost flow
Straight-line versus declining-balance depreciation

Companies whose stock is publicly-traded are required to present their income statement
following GAAP
•
Companies often report pro forma income
•
LO 1
•

Analysts and investors are often critical of using pro forma income because these numbers often
make companies look better than they really are
