Buck’s Dilemma: Gross or Net?
Buck’s Hunting Equipment Inc. (“Buck”) is a retailer of hunting equipment, hunting apparel, and outdoor accessories. Buck’s operations are based in Pittsburgh, PA, with retail stores located in the nearby suburbs and throughout southwestern Pennsylvania. Buck is actively developing opportunities to expand its operations in the surrounding region, including construction of several new retail stores in West Virginia and southern Ohio. Buck intends to complete construction and open each of the new stores over the next three years. Buck anticipates incurring significant expenses and making short-term cash outlays during the construction phase of the expansion. As a result of this growing need to obtain new, readily available capital, Buck entered into a three-year revolving line of credit (the “Facility”) with its bank on January 1, 2010. The line of credit has a maximum borrowing capacity of $100 million.
Since Buck has not previously used a revolving line of credit, it does not have knowledge of the relevant accounting literature and guidance on how to present the related cash flows in its financial statements. Accordingly, as Buck’s external auditor, management has asked for your assistance in determining the appropriate presentation of the borrowing and payment activity within its statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010.
