C选项困惑

NO.PZ2024011002000147

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?

同学你好,本题的正确答案是A而不是C呢

题目问以下哪种做法说明公司有可能降低了净利润的质量——也就是净利润可能会不具有持续性。所以首先要注意,本题并不是在问公司是否在财务造假。

C选项capital lease就是融资租赁,确实像你说的,同时确认了资产和负债,不会使公司的财报更好看,不存在修饰财报的问题,和净利润的持续性也没有任何关系,所以就不应该选C

而A选项说的,把获取客户产生的成本——本该是费用化的(也就是会立刻使公司的NI下降很多)的进行了资本化。那当期这种资产就只需要确认很少的折旧或摊销费用,从而使NI变得更高了。但是这种NI的提高是通过不合理的归类费用导致的,那NI本身的持续性就存疑,所以A才是正确选项
