¶ … Nikes Income Sheet
The latest Nike 10-K covers the period ending 31st May 2016 (Nike, 2016). Looking specifically at the consolidated income statement, this is very short, and although there is a subcategory for gross profit. Nike, 2016). This is the two step format, as there is a breakdown of the categories, operating income is separated from non-operating income and there is a subcategory for gross profit, these indicate the two step process (PWC, 2016). However, in the consolidated income statement, the information is very limited. Looking though the accounts, the notes do provide more detail, such as Item 7 which provides details on sources of income and in come by type of sales, more details of lease and capital costs, while note 8 provides a more detailed breakdown of long-term debt (Nike, 2016),.
The income statement is meant to provide an accurate representation of the financial position of the company, this will inherently require a degree of estimation. In the income presented, there are estimates which impact on the revenues recognized. Therefore, the estimates also reflect the revenue recognition policies of Nike, which the firm states are based on actual sales made, adjusted for changes...
Under U.S. GAAP, and IFRS, so therefore under Nike policies, revenue is recognized when it is earned, and deemed realizable, rather than when the money is received (Accounting Study Guide, 2016).

Many of these remained outstanding at the end of the accounting period. Nike have based the estimates on historical levels and patterns along with expected claims or discounts which have not been formalised. This would appear to be a viable and sensible approach. There are also some estimates associated with costs, such as royalty payments that will be payable to endorsers based on performance (Nike, 2016). Estimates also need to be made on the level of collections that will be made on debts owed to the firm from buyers. In these cases sales need to be finalized prior to the assessment of the royalty amounts. These different types of estimates all appear typical of large corporations.

Inventory Nike addresses futures ordering on page 64 of its FY 2016 Form 10-K. The futures ordering program "allows retailers to order five to six months in advance of delivery" at a fixed price. This program allows Nike to gain some advance knowledge of future demand, assisting the company to schedule its production accordingly with expected future demand. The company notes, however, that this program does not prevent excess or short

Nike: Financial Analysis The relevance of analyzing the financial stability and health of an entity cannot be overstated especially when it comes to the determination of the future performance of the concerned entity.

In seeking to conduct an in-depth analysis of Nike, I will amongst other things describe the company and its operations in significant detail,
5% of total liabilities. Their retained earnings, on the other hand, total $5.073 billion. The heavy use of retained earnings is partially explained by their view of themselves as a growth company. While they pay a dividend, Nike prefers to re-invest much of its profits back into expansion. They do not feel that the market has matured sufficiently to stop their aggressive growth strategy. Another consideration in their capital structure
Nike's Strategic And Financial Position Analysis Nike is a globally recognized multinational corporation founded by the Stanford Graduate School of Business graduate, Phil Knight, and Bill Bowerman who was the track and field coach at the University of Oregon.
