, PREFACE—TO THE INSTRUCTOR .l .l
The presentation of the subject matter in each of the chapters in Intermediate Accounting, 12e
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l . l .l
is followed by questions, brief exercises, exercises, problems, and concepts for analysis.
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
Another section entitled ―Using Your Judgment‖ is also provided (financial reporting, financial
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
statement analysis, comparative analysis, research, international reporting, professional re-
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
search and professional simulation). Note that writing, group, and ethics cases have been in-
.l .l .l .l . l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
tegrated into the exercises, problems, and concepts for analysis and are identified with icons in
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
the text margins. This manual contains complete solutions to all exercises, problems, and cases
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l . l .l .l .l .l .l .l
in the ―Using Your Judgment‖ section as well as suggested answers to the questions and
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l . l .l .l .l .l
concepts for analysis.
.l .l .l
Assignment Classification Table (Topic and Learning Objective). A unique feature of our .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
Solutions Manual is a table that categorizes four types of end-of-chapter items (questions, ex-
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
ercises, problems, and concepts for analysis) by key topics in the chapter. New to Intermedi- ate
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l . l .l .l .l
Accounting, 12e is a classification table organizing solutions by textbook learning objective.

Assignment Characteristics Table. Each chapter of this manual contains a table offering: . l . l . l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
(1) a short description of each exercise, problem, and case, (2) an indication of the level of dif-
.l .l .l
ficulty (simple, moderate, or complex), and (3) the estimated time in minutes.

An estimated average minimum and maximum time (in minutes) is given for each exercise,
.l
.l
problem, and case in the text. Although many of the estimated times are based on actual

classroom experience, it should be recognized that they are only averages. On any given
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
problem or case even a superior student may encounter difficulty because of a mechanical er- ror
.l .l .l
or misinterpretation of the problem and spend more time than on other problems of similar

difficulty.

The estimated time to complete each exercise is also indicated at the right of each exercise
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
R .l .l .l .l .l .l
number. For problems and cases the estimated time also appears with the list of ―purposes‖ that
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
G .l .l .l .l .l .l
precedes each set of problems and each set of cases.
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
We hope these classifications, descriptions, and times will prove helpful to instructors in tailor- ing
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
homework assignments to the capacities of their students and to the time available.

Purpose. A statement of the purpose of each problem and each case appears in a list pre-
. l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
ceding the sets of problems and cases in each chapter.
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
Questions. The questions at the end of the chapter provide a basis for classroom discussion of . l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
the topics presented in the chapter and serve as an aid to the students in testing their un-
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
derstanding of the text material. They deal with both conceptual and procedural matters. The
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
sequence of questions generally corresponds to the topical coverage in the text. Full and com-
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
plete answers to these questions are presented in this manual.
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
Brief Exercises. Each brief exercise focuses on one concept or procedure. Because these brief
.l . l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
exercises are straightforward and simple, they build the student‘s confidence and test ba- sic
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
skills.
.l
Exercises. Generally, the exercises cover a specific topic and require less time and effort to . l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
solve than the problems. In addition to serving as supplemental assignment material, the exer-
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
cises may be used for class discussion and for examination purposes.
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l

,Problems. Whereas the goal of the exercises is brevity of solution time and coverage of es- . l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
sential principles or methodology with minimum difficulty, the problems are designed to de- velop
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
a professional level of achievement and, therefore, are generally more challenging to solve. We
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
have arranged the problems, as much as possible, from least to most difficult in the same order
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
as the discussion in the chapter. Some of the problems are routine and can be solved by following
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
procedures that are illustrated in the textbook. The more difficult problems may blend a diversity
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
of principles into a single situation requiring a series of steps, computa- tions, or solutions and
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
demand interpretation, analysis, and judgment.
.l .l .l .l .l
Many of the problems (indicated by AICPA, CMA, or CIA Adapted) have been adapted from the
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l . l
Uniform CPA, CMA, or CIA Examinations. In most instances, the solutions to these prob- lems
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
include all the information from the unofficial CPA, CMA, or CIA examination solution. Generally,
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
the students will not furnish a solution in the same detail.
.l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
Additionally, a far greater number of problems has been provided than the instructor can rea- .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
sonably use in a single offering of the course.
.l .l .l
S .l .l .l .l .l .l
Concepts For Analysis. The concepts for analysis, many of which are adoptions from the . l . l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l .l
Uniform CPA Examination, generally require essay as opposed to quantitative solutions. They
.l .l
are intended to confront the student with situations, frequently unstructured, calling for in-depth
