Apple extends credit to its many retailers on varied kinds of terms. These pending payments account for 5,601M in FY2009, and 12,015M in 2010. Along with Apple extending credit, in an addition to several of Apple 's suppliers extend credit to them. These accrued expenses are considered a liability because the company does owe them and when they come due must be paid. Both the liabilities work as a credit or debit regarding the financial statement. Apple saw a soar in business in 2010 because of the Ipads.

    b)There are no unusual items presented in Apple’s income statement. Also the company did not discontinue any of its operations, neither had any changes in accounting principles. The net income for 2008, 2007, and 200 is $4,834, $3,496, and $1,989 respectively. The net income has increased continually in past three years. Net income increased 38.3% in 2008. Apple’s net income growth for 2007 was 75.7%. The income statement doesn’t need restating. I also believe that Apple is not managing their earnings. The company’s revenue and earnings per share are undervalued and Apple 's financials appear radically weaker than they actually are. It is because in April, 2007 they made a bad decision when announced that Apple will be using what is commonly referred to as the "subscription method of accounting" for sales of the iPhone where the sales revenue from the iPhone is deferred and recognized over a 24-month period instead of at the point of sale. When disregarding the deferred revenue mechanism of subscription accounting, Apple actually earned $7.48 in EPS on $38.041 billion in revenue. That compares to the $5.36 in EPS on $32.479 billion in revenue that Apple reported on a GAAP-basis. During 2008, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Financial Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 changes the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by creating a new framework for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose uncertain tax positions in their financial statements.…

    The combination of all elements mention above makes Apple the successful firm that it is today. Apple enjoys the administration of a proactive, visionary and charismatic CEO who got this company almost in ruins (having losses for two quarters in row and losing market shares) and he transformed it into a profitable the most admired corporation in the world. Becoming a design and product innovator that is ahead of the trends, it has only been possible because of strong research and development department. For example, the desktop computer is part of the screen, not a separate case with cables; the iPhone has touch screen and feels wonderful in the hand. Apple has also come up with innovative services like iTunes Music Store (providing music to customers at minimum price) which is an outstanding source of income, especially with the iPod and its availability to access Windows platform. Apple iPod not only helped increase company sales but also influenced people to get familiar with Apple notebook and operating system and also initiated the road for Apple’s brand recognition.…

    “Investment in new business strategies and acquisitions could disrupt the Company’s ongoing business and present risks not originally contemplated” so it is important that Apple does upfront work to make sure it is investing in acquisitions or projects that have a return on investment (US Securities and Exchange, 2013).

The company went public on December 12, 1980, generated one of the biggest amount of capital from IPO in history. At the moment, Apple is the largest publicly traded corporation in the world by market capitalization. The company is driving highest profit out of mobile device industry, and expected to growth strongly in the future. After the launch of its new iPhone 5c recently, Apple’s stock price significantly dropped, as investors worry about the expensiveness of this new smartphone, but it has quickly recovered after that. Over the past 10 years, EPS increased steadily, reached the peak of $44.20 per share in 2012. Past 5 years EPS grew stably at annually average of 62.20% which is the highest out of 20 stocks from our stock screener. Apple’s projected growth is high but seems to be humble compared to its past performance, at 17.77%. ROE analysis and Margin analysis, especially net profit margin, also show good signal which increased steadily over the 10-year-period. Apple’s stock currently trades at quite high price of around $500 per share, but the PEG ratio shows at 0.68 indicating that the stock is relatively cheap at its growth level. Despite of being a growth stock, the company is offering dividend payout of 27.30%. Overall, the stock has outperformed its industry average in all of the growth indicators. The high potential risks, including highly competitive industry require high capital expenditures to stay innovative; product manufacturing and logistical services provided by outsourcing partners; and legal risk related to intellectual property rights, should be acknowledged by investors. We decided to pick Apple since it has very strong exposure into the mobile device sector with high growth potential, strong cash flows, strong competitive position, and a cheap stock right now.…
