Advanced Accounting in Canada, 1Ce (Johnstone) Chapter 1 Introduction to Advanced Financial Accounting 1.1 Describe the accounting standards used in Canada and how they apply to different reporting entities. 1) A private company in Canada that is closely held, has no debt, and wants to simplify the accounting process is most likely to report under which part of the CPA Canada Handbook? A) Part II — Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE) B) Part IV — Accounting Standards for Pensions C) Part I — International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) D) Part III — Accounting Standards for Not-for-Profit Organizations Answer: A Diff: 1 Type: MC Taxonomy Category: Understanding Learning Outcome: 1.1 Describe the accounting standards used in Canada and how they apply to different reporting entities.
2) In Canada, a private company has the choice to report under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE). Describe why the CPA Canada Handbook provides the option for private enterprises? Answer: IFRS is meant to create consistency and comparability in international markets. One of the limitations of IFRS is the complexity of reporting for equity investments that are meant to provide information to shareholders for decision-making purposes. Many private companies are held by a small group of shareholders who are often involved in the running of the business or have access to that information. As a result, the cost of applying more complex accounting policies outweighs the benefit of the information provided to this closely held group of shareholders. To address this, the Accounting Standards Board developed the Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises to meet the needs of private enterprises. Private enterprises have the option to adopt IFRS or ASPE depending on the needs of the financial statement users.

2) What is the definition of control provided in IFRS 10? Answer: IFRS 10 states that an investee has control only when all of the following three criteria are met: The power over the investee, exposure to the variable returns of the investee, and the ability to use that power to affect the earnings of the investee. First, the power to direct the relevant activities over the investee typically arises from a right such as voting rights, the right to choose key personnel or enforcement/veto rights. Power over the relevant activities would include the ability to direct the selling or buying of goods and services, direct research and development, budgeting, and the management of financial assets. Second, variable returns are defined as not fixed and with the potential to vary as a result of the performance of the investee. Finally, there must be a link between the power to control the relevant activities and the return on the investment.

3) List the four different classifications of investments and provide a definition for each type of investment classification. Answer: The four classifications along with a definition are given below: 1. Passive Investment is an equity investment that does not meet the definition of an associate (significant influence under ASPE), joint arrangement, or subsidiary. These investments tend to be more short term and temporary in nature. These can be classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, fair value through profit and loss, and in some rare cases, cost. 2. Associate (Significant Influence under ASPE) is an equity investment where the investor has the ability to influence the activities of the investee but does not have control. 3. Joint Arrangement is a contractual agreement where the parties have joint control over the investment. These can be classified as either joint ventures or joint operations. 4. Subsidiary is an equity investment where the investor has the ability to control the activities of the investee. Diff: 2 Type: ES Taxonomy Category: Understanding Learning Outcome: 1.3 Define and identify strategic and non-strategic intercorporate investments made by reporting entities.
4) What is a financial asset, and would a non-strategic equity investment be included in that definition? Answer: A financial asset, as defined in IAS 32, is any of the following: • Cash • An equity investment in another company • A contractual right to receive cash or another asset from another company • A contractual right to exchange another financial instrument under potentially favourable conditions Investments in equities are listed in the definition of a financial asset; therefore, a non-strategic equity investment would meet the definition.

1.5 Compare the classification requirements of IFRS and ASPE. 1) In Canada, a private profit-oriented corporation may report under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE). Explain the rationale for having the option, and how the investment classification would differ. Answer: Accounting for equity investments can be more complex than required in ASPE. The reason for offering ASPE to private companies is to remove some of those complexities for closely held organizations and their financial statement users. When a company is closely held, the owners tend to be more involved with the running of the entity and therefore have access to the inner working of the business. The following are differences in the classification of equity investments under IFRS and ASPE: Passive investments: Companies reporting under IFRS have three options to classify a passive investment: FVTPL, FVOCI, and Cost. Companies reporting under ASPE have two options for classifying passive investments: FVTPL and Cost. Other comprehensive income does not exist under ASPE. Strategic investments: A) Investments where the acquirer has significant influence: Companies reporting under IFRS classify these investments as associates, whereas companies reporting under ASPE would classify their investment as a significant influence investment. Similar factors are used to determine the classification of an investment. B) Investments where the acquirer has control: Companies reporting under IFRS and ASPE both classify investments under their control as a subsidiary. Similar factors are used to determine the classification of an investment.

2.8 Prepare the journal entries, including the deferred tax implications, for significant influence (associates) investments. 1) On April 1, 2022, Delightful Donuts Inc. (DDI) purchased 30% of the outstanding voting shares of Neudorf Flours Ltd. (NFL) for $1,350,000 cash. On the acquisition date, NFL's common shares and retained earnings were $1,000,000 and $2,000,000, respectively. The fair value of the net assets was equal to the carrying value with the exception of the following: Carrying value Fair value Inventory $ 750,000 $875,000 Building (remaining useful life of 8 years) 950,000 900,000 Patent (remaining useful life of 5 years) 250,000 550,000 Both companies have a December 31 year end, pay tax at a rate of 20%, and earn net income evenly throughout the year. Assume inventory turns over every 45 days. During the three years following the acquisition, NFL earned the following net income as well as declared and paid dividends on October 15 each year: 12-month period 2022 2023 2024

3) Outline the factors that should be considered in determining the acquirer in a business combination. Answer: There are many factors to consider when determining the acquirer in a business combination. They are given below: The entity that owns more than 50% of the voting shares after the transaction is normally considered the acquirer. In situations that are less straightforward, IFRS 10, Appendix B provides additional factors: a. When the purchase is accomplished through the exchange of cash and other assets, the acquirer is usually the one who gave up the asset. b. Where equity interest is transferred as consideration, the acquirer is usually the one who issues the equity unless it is a reverse takeover. c. The acquirer may be the group with the largest voting interest. d. Which party can elect the majority of the board of directors. e. Largest minority interest may be considered the acquirer. f. Did one party pay a premium of the fair value. g. The largest of the combining entities, which can be measure using assets, revenues, or profits. h. Which entity initiated the transaction.

3.3 Recognize and measure the purchase price paid and the assets and liabilities acquired during a business combination. 1) Perex Co. acquired the net assets of KBJ Co by issuing 100,000 common shares to KBJ. At the time of the acquisition, Perex's shares were trading at $3.50. Perex incurred $5,000 in legal fees and $7,500 in share issuance costs as a result of this transaction. What is the purchase price for this transaction? A) $362,500 B) $350,000 C) $342,500 D) $357,500 Answer: B Diff: 1 Type: MC Taxonomy Category: Applying Learning Outcome: 3.3 Recognize and measure the purchase price paid and the assets and liabilities acquired during a business combination.
2) The purchase price in an acquisition may involve the payment of additional consideration should a specific event occur in the future. Assuming the acquirer issued shares as consideration, describe the accounting for a contingent consideration that requires the acquirer to issue additional shares should the market price of the acquirer's shares drop below a certain value during a specified time frame. Answer: The issuance of additional shares to the seller would not result in any change in the purchase price. If the acquirer is required to issue additional shares to make up for the decrease in value of the shares originally issued, they would adjust their equity accounts to reflect the increase in the number of shares issues. There would be no adjustment to the acquisition price.

3) ABC Inc. acquired 100% of the common shares of XYZ Ltd. for $3,000,000. The two parties disagreed on the value of the company but agree that ABC would pay an additional $500,000 if the sales of XYZ Ltd. are greater than $2 million dollars in each of the next two years. Describe how the contingent consideration would be accounted for. Answer: The payment of additional amounts if a specific event occurs requires professional judgment to determine the accounting implications. To determine the effect on the purchase price, we would need to determine the likelihood of the event occurring within the specified time frame. The likelihood of occurrence would help estimate the additional amount of consideration to be added to the purchase price at acquisition. The estimated consideration would be recorded as a contingent consideration liability. At each reporting period within the specified time frame, the acquirer would have to revalue the contingent consideration liability based on current information. Any change in value in the contingent consideration liability would be recorded as a gain or loss on purchase, which is included in the acquirer's profit and loss statement. No adjustment would be made to the investment in XYZ account. If it is later determined that the sales target is not reached, the acquirer would remove the contingent liability and record a gain on purchase.

3.5 Identify a reverse takeover situation and discuss the implications. 1) Explain what a reverse takeover is, and how it is accounted for. Answer: A reverse takeover is an acquisition where one entity (the legal "parent") issues new shares to the shareholders of another company (the legal "subsidiary") for their shares. After the transaction, the new shareholders group (the shareholders of the legal "subsidiary") control both companies. While the legal "parent" issued the shares to acquire the legal "subsidiary, they do not control the combined entity. For accounting purposes, the legal "subsidiary" is in fact the acquirer. The accounting for a reverse takeover is more complex, as it requires the determination of the purchase price to be based on the fair value of the legal "subsidiary rather than the price paid by the legal "parent." The consolidated statements would reflect the carrying value of the net assets the legal "subsidiary' and the fair value of the net assets of the legal "parent."

344,000 199,000 115,000 30,000
b) Was the land fair value differential at acquisition greater than or lower than the carrying value held in the subsidiary? We are increasing the land to get to the consolidated total, therefore, the fair value at acquisition was greater than the book value at acquisition. c)
What was the amount of the fair value differential of the equipment at acquisition?
First, we need to determine the remaining unamortized balance of the fair value differential: Consolidated balance Less the parent's book value Less the subsidiary's book value Unamortized fair value differential of the equipment. The acquisition happened 4 years ago, leaving 6 years of amortization. Amortization per year would be ($50,640/6 years) Fair value difference at acquisition ($8,440 × 10 years)

d) What method is Emerson using to record its investment in Garstka in its separate-entity records? Since the parent's retained earnings is not equal to the subsidiary's retained earnings, the parent is not using the equity method to account for its investment in Garstka. The parent would be using the cost method. e) What was the amount of the fair value differential for the inventory at acquisition? Purchase price Less the carrying value:

Answer: B Diff: 3 Type: MC Taxonomy Category: Evaluating Learning Outcome: 5.2 Explain why intercompany profits must be adjusted and when the amounts must be adjusted in the consolidation process.
3) What is unrealized intercompany profit (loss), and how is it accounted for in the consolidation process? Answer: Unrealized intercompany profit (loss) is a result of an intercompany sale of assets, usually, a sale of inventory or capital assets between the parent and the subsidiary, where the asset still exists within the consolidated entity. If the asset still exists within the entity, the profit (loss) that was recorded in the single-entity accounts is unrealized and must be eliminated. The adjustment required depends on 1. The direction of the sale: upstream or downstream. The direction of the sale affects how we eliminate the unrealized intercompany profit. In a downstream sale, the profit is in the parent's separate entity statements; therefore, we eliminate it from the parent's net income in the consolidation process. In an upstream sale, the subsidiary is the seller and the profit (loss) is recorded in the subsidiary's separate entity statements. Therefore, we eliminate the unrealized intercompany profit (loss) from the subsidiary's net income. 2.
The type of asset sold between the parent and the subsidiary: a. Inventory b. Land c. Depreciable asset
For inventory and land, any unrealized profits (losses) may be recognized once the assets are sold to an unrelated party (i.e., outside the consolidated entity). For unrealized intercompany profit (loss) on depreciable assets, the process differs since the asset is used up by the purchaser over time to earn income. As a result, we recognize the unrealized profit (loss) over the useful life of the asset by adjusting the consolidated depreciation expense.

A) The equity method of accounting reports the investor's percentage of the fair value of the net assets of a subsidiary, adjusted for intercompany profits in one line on the SFP. B) The equity method of accounting does not adjust for intercompany transactions. C) When a parent uses the equity method of accounting in its separate-entity statements to account for a subsidiary, consolidated retained earnings will be the same as the parent's separate-entity retained earnings. D) When a parent uses the equity method of accounting in its separate-entity statements to account for a subsidiary, the parent's net income will be equal to consolidated net income attributable to the parent. Answer: B Diff: 1 Type: MC Taxonomy Category: Understanding Learning Outcome: 7.1 Explain the equity method of accounting.
2) The equity method of accounting is used for an investment in an associate as well as an investment in a joint venture. At acquisition, how is the difference in purchase price and the fair value of the net assets dealt with when using the equity method of accounting? A) For investments in an associate and a joint venture, any excess in the fair value of the net assets over the purchase price will be treated as goodwill. This goodwill is reported separately on the investor's SFP (separate from the investment account). B) Only for investments in an associate will any excess in the fair value of the net assets over the purchase be treated as goodwill. The goodwill is reported separately on the investor's SFP (separate from the investment account). C) For investments in an associate or a joint venture, any excess in fair value over the purchase price is treated as goodwill. The amount of goodwill is included in the investment account balance. D) For investments in either an associate or a joint venture, the excess in fair value of the net assets is taken into income in the year the acquisition occurs.

3) Under the equity method of accounting, how does the accounting for upstream intercompany transactions differ from downstream intercompany transactions? Answer: Both downstream and upstream transactions need to be adjusted in the calculation of equity income. The profits from downstream transactions belong to the investor and are adjusted as follows: • 100% of the unrealized profit (loss) is held-back (eliminated) until sold to an outside party or used up in the income earning process. An intercompany transaction resulting in recognition of profit by the seller will require that the unrealized portion be eliminated (decreasing) from equity income and the investment account balance. • Once sold or used up, the once held-back profit (100%) is recognized in net income. • The deferred income tax adjustments would also be required, thus the after-tax profit is removed and only recognized once the asset is sold or used up in the income earning process. Profits (losses) from upstream transactions belong to both the significant influence shareholders (the "investor") and the other shareholders of the investee. This means that only an investor's percentage of the intercompany profits affects equity income (and the investment account). These profits are adjusted as follows: • The investor's percentage ownership of the unrealized profit (loss) is held-back (eliminated) until sold to an outside party or used up in the income earning process. An intercompany transaction resulting in recognition of profit by the seller will required that the unrealized portion be eliminated (decreasing) from equity income and the investment account balance. • Once sold or used up, the once held-back profit (investor's percentage only) is now recognized in net income. • The deferred income tax adjustments would also be required, thus the after-tax profit is removed and only recognized once the asset is sold or used up in the income earning process.

6) The following organization chart outlines the shareholdings of Muddy Corporation, Sunny Corporation, and Dry Corporation. The percentages shown represent the percentage of ownership of each company.
Required: Assuming Muddy reports under IFRS, briefly describe how Muddy Corporation should classify and account for its investments in Sunny Corporation and Dry Corporation. Answer: Muddy has direct control over Sunny and would classify Sunny as a subsidiary. Muddy would account for Sunny using the consolidation method. Sunny's results would be consolidated with Muddy's financial statements, adjusted for any goodwill from the acquisition, fair value differentials, and intercompany transactions. The ownership of Dry is a bit more complex since Muddy has direct ownership in Dry as well as indirect ownership. In order to determine if Muddy has control, we need to look at the Sunny's ownership in Dry. Muddy controls Sunny and, therefore, controls all the assets of Sunny, including the shares Sunny owns in Dry. This means that Muddy controls a total of 60% of the voting shares of Dry. As a result, Muddy controls Dry and should classify Dry as a subsidiary. Muddy will have to consolidate the results of Dry, adjusting for any goodwill, fair value amortization, and intercompany transactions.

It was determined that Temperance had control of Hodge and has been preparing consolidated financial statements as a result. On December 31, 2026, Temperance purchased an additional 15% of the common shares of Hodge Ltd. How should Temperance account for the purchase of the additional 15% of the common shares? A) A revaluation of the net assets will be required. An analysis of the new purchase price will be required. This may result in a new goodwill and new fair value differentials. B) An accounting gain or loss will be recognized based on the price paid and the revaluation of the net assets. C) A new goodwill will be calculated based on the purchase price of the additional 15%. The additional goodwill and fair value differentials will be added to those recorded in the first purchase. D) Change of control has not changed; this is a reallocation of the ownership interest.

3) NKC Ltd. has a foreign subsidiary, CKN Inc. located in Brazil. In the past, CKN focused on its local market, setting sales prices in Brazil Real (R$), purchasing inputs locally, and financing its operations with operating income and through local borrowings. Last year, CKN struggled with supplier issues and acquiring local financing, and lost two key managers. This resulted in some changes in the overall operation of the company. In the current year, in order to stabilize supplier issues and to take advantage of the strong Canadian dollar, NKC provided all the financing to CKN, with interest to be paid to NKC in Canadian dollars. To stabilize the supplier issues, CKN began using all of NKC's suppliers, which are located in Canada and require payment in Canadian dollars. As well, NKC's management will take over the decision-making process rather than hire managers to replace those that have left. This will be the first year that CKN will sell its products in Canada. Which of the following statements reflects the correct approach to account for CKN's results in the current year? A) The functional currency of CKN is the Canadian dollar in the current year. This change in functional currency should be accounted for prospectively. B) The functional currency of CKN is the Brazil Real in both the past and current year.

4) Describe how the functional currency of a foreign subsidiary is determined. Answer: The first step in determining functional currency is to apply the primary indicators to the facts in the foreign subsidiary. There are three primary indicators to review: • Competitive forces that determine the sales price • Currency that influences the sales price • Currency that influences the cost of providing the goods (i.e., labour, materials, etc.) If the facts in the situation clearly indicate the functional currency of the subsidiary, a conclusion on functional currency can be made based on the primary indicators; steps 2 and 3 do not need to be completed. If the facts in the situation do not clearly indicate the functional currency; then, we need to move on to step 2–applying the secondary indicators. The secondary indicators are: • The currency that finances the operations of the subsidiary, • The currency in which the operating activities are usually retained in, • Are the activities an extension of the parent, • The level of intercompany transactions, • Do the cash flows of the subsidiary directly affect the parent, and • Financing of the operations of the subsidiary. Only if a conclusion on functional currency cannot be made using the secondary indicators will step 3 be considered. Step 3 requires professional judgment based on the underlying transactions and conditions.

Answer: Step 1: Confirm who the acquirer is:
Analysis of control Original shareholder group holds New shareholder group (original shareholders of Mido) Number of shares after transaction
Shares 700,000 275,000 975,000
Percentage ownership 71.8% 28.2%
Change of control occurred over Mido's assets since the same shareholder group still controls Lenore. Lenore is the acquirer. To calculate the entity's consolidated net income, we need to determine goodwill at acquisition and the amortization schedule. Step 2 - Analyze the purchase price, and calculate goodwill: Purchase price Less carrying value: Common shares Retained earnings Acquisition differential Allocated to: Inventory Land Equipment Customer list Deferred income tax liability* Goodwill *Deferred income tax liability Inventory Land Equipment Customer list Tax base Tax at 20% Total deferred income tax liability
