Exercise 2
Determining the success of a small business can be tricky. A business may show a good profit,
but consistently run into cash flow problems, sometimes severe ones. The idea of profit refers
to a sum of money earned at a fixed (but sometimes imaginary) point in time. As a reference
point for a business’ success, it is the standard. However, using cash flow as a reference point
gives a more dynamic picture of a business’ success based on a constant comparison of
available cash to expenses. A business owner’s understanding of his own success can depend
on which of these models he works from.
The outlook on a business’ financial situation can similarly depend on whether the business
follows a cash method or an accrual method of accounting. In a cash method of accounting,
income is reported only as payment is received, while the accrual method of accounting
records income as soon as the sale is made. So, using the accrual method, if it takes a buyer
three months to send a check for the goods and services provided, then a business may have
trouble meeting its cash flow needs in the interim, while still showing a profit. For this reason,
many small businesses prefer to use the cash method. The cash method is simpler and offers a
more realistic picture of a business’ finances at any given moment in time. The accrual system,
however, allows for more sophisticated analysis, which can consolidate several facets of
business management into a single operation.
1. What best states what this article is mostly about?
A. how businesses can use different methods of accounting to look less profitable for tax
purposes
B. how the accrual method compares to the cash method of accounting
C. how understandings of profitability and methods of accounting can alter perceptions of
success
D. how the idea of profit compares with the idea of cash flow
2. According to the article, what is an advantage of using an accrual system of accounting?
A. It gives a more dynamic picture of a business’s success.
B. It is simpler.
C. It reduces cash flow discrepancies.
D. It allows for more sophisticated financial analysis.
3. According to the article, what problems can arise from looking strictly at profit?
A. cash flow problems
8 TACB2
Lecturer: Truong Thi Thuy
B. accrual problems
C. accounting errors

Figures courtesy of Gromatian Ministry of Trade
Farmers of Gromatia be proud!
The Government of Gromatia would like to thank all its farmers for their hardwork this year.
Despite the winter flooding and the summer drought, 2005 was overall a great year for the
farming industry. As a nation whose income is based on the revenue generated by the produce
of our farmers, your work is of the greatest importance to us.
We have sent you the figures for 1995 and 2005 so that you can measure your success for
yourself. However you will notice that exports were down in certain areas. In particular, coffee
was low. These days, coffee drinking is becoming very popular thanks to large chains of coffee
shops offering cheap but tasty coffee worldwide. We feel that it is important for Gromatia to
gain a position in this market. Over the next ten years, we will be offering subsidies to farmers
who plant coffee. We hope that this will enable us to increase our annual exports.
The second area in which we hope to excel is wine. With more leisure time, better education
and a desire for luxury, people are becoming more interested in wine. In the past people stuck
to the wine of France, Italy and Germany, but now they are looking for more unique wines
from smaller locations. This is where we see a niche for us in the market. We believe that this
will be our strongest export item by 2015.
Althought small Gromatia has potential to do very well in the international market.
Thank you for your efforts in taking us there.

Determining the success of a small business can be tricky. A business may show a good profit,
but consistently run into cash flow problems, sometimes severe ones. The idea of profit refers
to a sum of money earned at a fixed (but sometimes imaginary) point in time. As a reference
point for a business’ success, it is the standard. However, using cash flow as a reference point
gives a more dynamic picture of a business’ success based on a constant comparison of
available cash to expenses. A business owner’s understanding of his own success can depend
on which of these models he works from.
The outlook on a business’ financial situation can similarly depend on whether the business
follows a cash method or an accrual method of accounting. In a cash method of accounting,
income is reported only as payment is received, while the accrual method of accounting
records income as soon as the sale is made. So, using the accrual method, if it takes a buyer
three months to send a check for the goods and services provided, then a business may have
trouble meeting its cash flow needs in the interim, while still showing a profit. For this reason,
many small businesses prefer to use the cash method. The cash method is simpler and offers a
more realistic picture of a business’ finances at any given moment in time. The accrual system,
however, allows for more sophisticated analysis, which can consolidate several facets of
business management into a single operation.
1. What best states what this article is mostly about?
A. how businesses can use different methods of accounting to look less profitable for tax purposes
B. how the accrual method compares to the cash method of accounting
C. how understandings of profitability and methods of accounting can alter perceptions of success
D. how the idea of profit compares with the idea of cash flow
2. According to the article, what is an advantage of using an accrual system of accounting?
A. It gives a more dynamic picture of a business’s success. B. It is simpler.
C. It reduces cash flow discrepancies.
D. It allows for more sophisticated financial analysis.
3. According to the article, what problems can arise from looking strictly at profit? A. cash flow problems 8 TACB2
Lecturer: Truong Thi Thuy B. accrual problems C. accounting errors
D. imaginary problems Exercise 3

Farmers of Gromatia be proud!
The Government of Gromatia would like to thank all its farmers for their hardwork this year.
Despite the winter flooding and the summer drought, 2005 was overall a great year for the
farming industry. As a nation whose income is based on the revenue generated by the produce
of our farmers, your work is of the greatest importance to us.
We have sent you the figures for 1995 and 2005 so that you can measure your success for
yourself. However you will notice that exports were down in certain areas. In particular, coffee
was low. These days, coffee drinking is becoming very popular thanks to large chains of coffee
shops offering cheap but tasty coffee worldwide. We feel that it is important for Gromatia to
gain a position in this market. Over the next ten years, we will be offering subsidies to farmers
who plant coffee. We hope that this will enable us to increase our annual exports.
The second area in which we hope to excel is wine. With more leisure time, better education
and a desire for luxury, people are becoming more interested in wine. In the past people stuck
to the wine of France, Italy and Germany, but now they are looking for more unique wines
from smaller locations. This is where we see a niche for us in the market. We believe that this
will be our strongest export item by 2015.
Althought small Gromatia has potential to do very well in the international market.
Thank you for your efforts in taking us there.
