TOTAL $ 40,319 $ 39, ======== ======== This financial statement is much more complicated than that of Dell. Why? What additional items are here, but not on the Dell balance sheet? Various items refer to specific notes. What does this mean and why is it important? Is Du Pont a bigger company than Dell, based on assets?

This financial statement discloses more details than the Dell financial sheet. Included are Prepaid and Deferred Income Tax disclosures. In addition, PPE is presented at its historical value and reduced on the balance sheet by Accumulated Depreciation. The references to notes identify that more details are available on the particular asset. Based on assets, Du Pont is a larger company.

Problem 3.2. Preferred stock at Du Pont. The balance sheet of Du Pont includes the following:

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Preferred stock, without par value - cumulative; 23,000,000 shares authorized; issued at December 31: $4.50 Series - 1,672,594 shares (callable at $120) $ 167 $ 167 $3.50 Series - 700,000 shares (callable at $102) 70 70 Common stock, $.30 par value; 1,800,000,000 shares authorized; Issued at December 31, 2001 - 1,088,994,789; 2000 - 1,129,973,354 327 339 Additional paid-in capital $ 7,371 $7,

Du Pont has preferred stock. Is this different than common stock? Explain. Are the amounts of preferred stock material in terms of total paid-in capital. Explain.

Preferred Stock is stock which receives preference on dividend distribution. A liability is created if yearly dividends are not paid on Preferred Stock, whereas Common Stock does not ensure yearly dividends to the holders. The amount of preferred stock are material in terms of Paid in Capital in that there is as much Preferred Stock in the corporation as there is Common Stock.

Problem 3.4. Cash flows from operations for Du Pont. CFO from operations for 2001 is presented below. Unlike Dell, CFO is considerably less than net income. Why?

CASH PROVIDED BY CONTINUING OPERATIONS Net income $ 4, Adjustments to reconcile net income to cash provided by continuing operations: Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle (Note 11) (11) Depreciation 1, Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets 434 Gain on sale of DuPont Pharmaceuticals (Note 7 ) (6,136)

Other noncash charges and credits – Accounts and notes receivable 435 Inventories and other operating assets (362) Increase (decrease) in operating liabilities: Accounts payable and other operating liabilities (634) Accrued interest and income taxes (Notes 4 and 9) 2, Cash provided by continuing operations $ 2,

Primarily, the sale of the Pharmaceuticals division created a large gain which leads to less Cash Flow represented by Net Income. This is a large reduction. Inventory and A/P maneuvers also affected the firm’s Cash Flow, making it lesser than Net Income.
