问题如下:
An analyst has made three observations in his worksheets about a company that he is reviewing. Which of the observations most likely reduces the quality of earnings of the company? The company:选项:
A.reported for the first time an asset titled “Deferred customer acquisition costs.” B.has reduced its estimate of the expected useful life of computer equipment from 8 years to 5 years. C.entered into long-term leases for its manufacturing equipment instead of purchasing it and recorded the leases as capital leases.解释:
An asset such as “deferred acquisition costs” could indicate the company is deferring current period expenses to future periods, which is a warning sign and an indication of lower quality earnings.理解AB,对C有疑问
选项C是说公司进行了长期租赁,而不是购买其制造设备,并且将这些租赁记录为资本租赁。资本租赁意味着公司在资产负债表上记录了相应的资产和负债。
这种做法不一定直接影响盈利质量吧?
