1Earlier this year, Barracuda Company issued 5,000 employee stock options. Recently, 2,000 options were exercised at a price of $10 per share. To avoid dilution, Barracuda purchased 2,000 shares at an average price of $12 per share. Barracuda reported both transactions as financing activities in its cash flow statement. For analytical purposes, what adjustment is necessary to better reflect the substance of the stock repurchase?

Operating cash flow Financing cash flow

A. Decrease $4,000 No adjustment

B. No adjustment ?Increase $4,000

C. Decrease $4,000 Increase $4,000

solutionC

answerBarracuda reported a $4,000 net outflow from financing activities [2,000 options* $12 average market price-$10 exercise price]. However, since the options are a form of compensation, the $4,000 outflow should be reclassified as an operating activity for analytical purposes. This is accomplished by increasing financing cash flow $4,000 and decreasing operating cash flow $4,000.

2If a lessee enters into a finance lease rather than an operating lease, it can expect to have a:

A. higher return on assets.

B. higher debt-to-equity ratio.

C. lower debt-to-equity ratio.

solutionB

answerLeasing the asset with an operating lease avoids recognition of the debt on the lessees balance sheet. Having fewer assets and liabilities on the balance sheet than would exist if the assets were purchased increases profitability ratios e.g., return on assetsand decreases leverage ratios e.g., debt-to-equity ratio)。 In the case of a finance lease, the assets are reported on the balance sheet and are depreciated.
