2. Management is either foolish or thinks its board is. Earning $100 million on a $5 billion
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
equity investment is a return of 2 percent, which is below any reasonable cost of equity. As a
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
board member, I would vote to cut management’s compensation, not raise it. I would also
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
criticize them for apparently attempting to deceive the board.

,b. Insights:
i. R&E is making extensive use of trade credit to finance a buildup in current assets. The
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
increase in accounts payable equals almost three fourths of total sources of cash.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
Increasing accounts receivable and inventories account for almost 90 percent of the uses
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
of cash.
b b
ii. External long-term debt financing is a use of cash for R&E, meaning that it is repaying its
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
loans. A restructuring involving less reliance on accounts payable and more bank debt
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
appears appropriate.

8. Accounting income will be the value of the parcels sold, less their original purchase price.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
So if all parcels are sold, the income is 5 × $16 million + 5 × $8 million – $100 million =
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
$20 million. Economic income will be the increase in the market value of the land, whether
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
sold or not, over the period. At the end of the first year, this will be $20 million. Answers to

e. Too many companies have tried this. If the market value of a piece of land falls, the owner
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
loses whether he sells or not. The market price of the land fell because people thought the
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
future income stream to the owners was worth less. Continuing to hold the property
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
forces the owner to accept the lower income. Whether the loss is recognized or not
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
might affect accounting earnings, but has nothing to do with reality.

10. The accounting profits from Desmond’s brewery are expected to be $60,000. These
b b b b b b b b b b b
accounting profits do not include the implicit cost of the entrepreneur’s time. Desmond’s
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
time is worth at least $70,000, the current income he will have to forego to manage the
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
brewery. When these implicit opportunity costs are included income falls to:
b b b b b b b b b b b
$250,000 – $190,000 – $70,000 = –$10,000 b b b b b b
This new venture will clearly reduce Desmond’s income, not increase it.
