Wild Adventure conducts tours of wildlife reserves around the world. The company recently purchased a lodge in Adelaide, Australia, securing a 4% mortgage from First Bank. In addition to monthly payments, Wild Adventure must provide annual reports to the bank showing that the company has a current ratio of 1.2 or better.

After reviewing the annual reports, the CEO, N. O. Scrooge, approached Carl Hauptfleisch, the CFO, and stated, "We've decided we are going to move all our long-term and held-to-maturity investments into our brokerage account so we can sell them soon. Carl, go ahead and make the adjusting entries as of the current year-end."

Carl made the adjustments. The subsequent year, the economy turned, and the company's travel revenues dropped more than 60%. Wild Adventure eventually defaulted on the First Bank loan.

2. What type of information in the financial reports would have helped the bank detect this reclassification?

Negotiations are underway to obtain a bank loan in order to update the magazine's facilities. Cutting Edge is producing close to capacity and expects to grow at an average of 20% per year over the next 3 years. After reviewing the financial statements of Cutting Edge, Andy Rich, the bank loan officer, had indicated that a loan could be offered to Cutting Edge only if it could increase its current ratio and decrease its debt to equity ratio to a specified level.

You are the manager of Synlait. Your accountant has indicated that one of the milking machines worth $1m needs to be replaced.  You as the manager are required to agree to and sign off the purchase of a replacement machine priced at $25m. Before you make the decision, you need to understand the impact of the purchase and its financing on the financial statements. The milking machine will be financed by paying 20% in cash and the balance as a signed note agreeing to pay the balance at the end of the year. Interest of 5% p.a. will start accruing in the month following the purchase. The old machine will be sold for cash of $1m. Indicate, using the accounting equation, the impact of this transaction on the Balance Sheet and Income Statement. That is, the impact of the sale of the old machine, the purchase of the replacement machine and the first month of interest, but you can ignore depreciation.
