3) Use the information in Exhibit A-1 to calculate the return on assets (ROA) ratio for 2025 using operating profit margin and asset turnover. For interim and final calculations, round dollar-based calculations to the nearest whole dollar, round percentages to four decimal places (e.g. 0.1351, or 13.51%), and round ratios to one decimal place (e.g. 1.6). Answer: Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) for the year ended December 31, 2025 = Net income + Interest expense × (1 — Tax rate) = $2,730 + $900 × (1 — $1,170 / $3,900) = $3,360. Operating profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2025= NOPAT / Sales = $3,360 / $53,400 = 6.29%. Asset turnover for the year ended December 31, 2025 = Sales / Average assets = $53,400 / (($47,750 + $39,500) / 2) = 122.41%. Return on assets (ROA) for the year ended December 31, 2025 = Operating profit margin × Asset turnover = 6.29% × 122.41% = 7.70%. Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Comp Objective: A-2 Describe the purpose of the ratio analysis and the information conveyed by the output. 4) Use the information in Exhibit A-1 to calculate the return on common equity (ROCE) ratio for 2025 using operating earnings leverage, return on assets (ROA), and financial leverage. Assume ROA for the year was 7.70%. For the interim and final calculations, round dollar-based calculations to the nearest whole dollar, round percentages to four decimal places (e.g. 0.1351, or 13.51%), and round ratios to one decimal place (e.g. 1.6). Answer: Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) for the year ended December 31, 2025 = Net income + Interest expense × (1 — Tax rate) = $2,730 + $900 × (1 — $1,170 / $3,900) = $3,360. Earning leverage for the year ended December 31, 2025 = Income available to common shareholders / NOPAT = $2,730 / $3,360 = 81.25%. ROA for the year ended December 31, 2025 = 7.70% from facts in question. Financial leverage for the year ended December 31, 2025 = Average assets / Average common equity = (($47,750 + $39,500) / 2) / (($22,600 + $21,500) / 2) = $43,625 / $22,050 = 197.85%. ROCE for the year ended December 31, 2025 = Earnings leverage × ROA × Financial leverage = 81.25% × 7.70% × 197.85% = 12.38%.

b. When the gross method is used, the payable is recorded at the invoiced amount, as is the asset acquired. If the discount is taken, the book value of the asset acquired is reduced by an equivalent amount. If the discount is not taken, an adjustment is not required. When the net method is used, the payable is recorded at the invoiced amount less the discount, as is the asset acquired. If the discount is taken, an adjustment is not required. If the discount is not taken, an income statement account "purchase discounts lost" is debited for the amount of the discount forgone. From a theoretical perspective, the net method should be used as forgone discounts are a financing cost. From a practical perspective, the gross method is widely used as it is simpler to use and as the forgone discounts are usually immaterial.

54) It is early in February 2025 and you are conducting the audit of Blast Off Airline's 2024 financial statements. Through discussion with Blast Off's Chief Financial Officer you learn of matters that have not yet been incorporated into the 2024 financial statements: During 2024, Blast Off began a customer loyalty program. For each aeronautical mile that a passenger travels on a paid flight, the passenger accrues one flight mile. Passengers can redeem accrued flight miles for free air travel. Earned miles do not expire. Blast Off's analysis of its competitors' programs suggests an average redemption rate of 55%. In 2024, Blast Off awarded 50,000,000 flight miles, 1,375,000 of which were redeemed. Management estimates the fair value of the flight miles is $540,000.

Pneumatic's legal counsel believes that they will almost certainly be found liable. Based on previous results, the lawyer estimates that there is a 60% probability that the supplier will be awarded the $200,000; a 30% probability that the judgment will be $150,000; and a 10% probability that $100,000 will be conferred. Assuming that Pneumatic reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS, indicate which of the following will be the appropriate accounting treatment: A) Recognize a liability of $175,000. B) Recognize a liability of $200,000. C) Disclose the details of the contingency in the notes to the financial statements. D) Recognize an asset of $175,000.

Answer: A contingent liability is: - a possible obligation whose existence can be confirmed only by future events that are not wholly controlled by the entity; or - it is possible but not probable that the obligation will have to be paid; or - the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Contingencies that are probable are reported as provisions. Contingencies that are possible are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. A contingent asset is a possible asset whose existence can be confirmed only by future events that are not wholly controlled by the entity. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. Diff: 1 Type: ES Skill: Concept Objective: 11.3 Describe the nature of contingent assets and liabilities and account for these items.

Through discussion with Blast Off's Chief Financial Officer you learn of matters that have not yet been incorporated into the 2024 financial statements: In July 2024, 127 passengers on board Blast Off Airlines Flight 007 were seriously injured when the plane missed the runway on final approach. In January 2025, the injured passengers launched a class action lawsuit against Blast Off seeking damages of $15 million. Blast Off's internal investigation of the incident determined that the pilot was intoxicated during the flight. The company's solicitors suggest that if the matter goes to court, Blast Off will be found liable and ordered to pay the $15 million. In an attempt to reduce its loss, Blast Off's solicitors made a settlement offer of $10 million to the plaintiffs. The litigants' attorney has not provided a formal response but has indicated that the offer is being seriously considered. Blast Off's lawyers estimate that there is a 90% probability the plaintiffs will accept the offer. Required: Prepare the journal entries to record the required adjustments for the above event.

3) For each independent situation: 1. Moosehead Pool and Skeet Com.'s debt to equity ratio is 1.6: 1 based on its draft financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. This leverage ratio exceeds the 1.5:1 maximum stipulated in Moosehead's loan agreement pertaining to a $5,000,000 loan maturing on March 15, 2028. The loan agreement stipulates that the loan becomes payable on demand upon breach of any of the loan covenants. Moosehead's creditors agreed on December 15, 2025 to waive their right to demand payment until December 31, 2026 for reason only that the firm's leverage ratio exceeds the stipulated maximum. 2. Guelph Piano Storage Inc. issued a $30,000, 30-day, non-interest bearing note to Roland's Crating for storage bins. The market rate of interest for similar transactions is 2.5%. 3. On November 30, 2024, Port Meadow Fertilizer Ltd. entered into a non-cancellable agreement to buy 10 tonnes of phosphorus for $1,600 per tonne for delivery on February 28, 2025. Phosphorus is a key component of the custom fertilizer that Port Meadow produces. The market price of phosphorus is extremely volatile, as evident by the $1,175 per tonne that it could be acquired for on December 31, 2024. Notwithstanding the premium price paid for the phosphorus, the company expects that fertilizer sales will remain profitable. Port Meadow's year-end is December 31, 2024. Required: For each of the situations described above, prepare the required journal entry for the underlined entity. If a journal entry is not required, explain why. Answer: 1. A journal entry is not required as the outstanding amount of the liability has not changed. From a reporting perspective, the loan will be reported as a non-current obligation as the lender agreed to a 12month grace period before year-end. 2. IFRS allows for short-term, zero-interest-rate notes to be measured at the original invoice amount if the effect of discounting is immaterial. This is the case here as the note is due in 30 days and the imputed interest amount is immaterial. Dr. Storage bins Cr. Notes payable

5) P. A. Whitehorse owns a successful gardening company called Valley Gardening Ltd. (Valley). The company, which has a year end of December 31, 2024, has asked you, the company accountant, to prepare a report outlining how the following items should be reported in its financial statements. A. On January 1, 2024, Valley took advantage of a vendor-provided financing offer to acquire computer equipment. Valley signed a $30,000 note payable in full on January 1, 2026. Interest is payable annually at a rate of 4% per annum. Valley's bank previously advised that it would charge an interest rate of 8% per annum for a loan on similar terms. B. A client of Valley was injured when she tripped on a piece of Valley's equipment that was in her yard. The injured party is suing Valley for $500,000 for pain and suffering and loss of income. Valley's solicitors advise that the company will almost certainly be found liable. Based on previous verdicts, counsel estimates that there is a 50% probability that the courts will award $400,000, and a 50% probability that the judgment will be $200,000. C. Valley has guaranteed $100,000 of the indebtedness of Healthyway Inc. (HWI), a related corporation. HWI has a long record of profitability and the probability of default is thought to be remote. D. Valley's loan agreement with the bank includes a covenant that Valley will maintain its current ratio of no less than 1.30:1. If Valley fails to meet this or any of the other covenants at year-end, all loan facilities become immediately due and payable. It appears that Valley's current ratio at year-end will be slightly less than this. Required: Prepare the report.

Answer: A. The liability to the vendor will be recorded at $30,087, determined as set out below. The accrued interest of $2,229 will be reported as a current liability, while the principal portion of $27,859 will be reported as long-term debt. Present value of the note at origination: a) Using a BAII PLUS financial calculator: 2 N; 8 I/Y; 30000 FV; 1,200* PMT; CPT PV PV = -27,860 (rounded). *$30,000 × 4% = $1,200 b) Using a PV table a. $30,000 × 0.8573 = $25,719 b. $1,200 × 1.783 = $2,140 $25,719 + $2,140 = $27,859 (small difference due to rounding) The computer asset will be recorded at $27,860. Accrued interest to December 31, 2024 = $27,860 × 8% = $2,229 (rounded) The liability to be recorded = $27,860 + $2,229 = $30,089. B. The loss is probable and has to be provided for.

C. IFRS 9 paragraph 5.1.1 requires that the guarantee be initially reported at its fair value. The fair value considers the amount of the guarantee, the prevailing discount (interest) rate, and the probability of default. Subsequently the guarantee is measured at the higher of the best estimate to settle and the remaining provision recorded in the financial statements. IFRS 7 requires that Valley disclose the nature of the guarantee including the maximum risk exposure ($100,000). D. If Valley has not complied with the loan covenant at year-end, the liability must be presented as a current obligation and the loan becomes due on demand. Valley should appeal to the bank for a loan waiver or extension and if accepted before year-end, the loan will continue to appear as a long-term liability.

11) Complete the following chart to illustrate how leverage can increase investors' returns while concurrently exposing them to large losses. Facts: Calabria Corporation is a new company and has only one asset, its cash of $105,000 from the sale of common shares. In scenario 1, Calabria invests the $105,000 in a venture that will pay out either $85,000 or $135,000 at the end of one year, depending on the success of the venture. In scenario 2, Calabria borrows $210,000 at 7% interest and invests $315,000 in the same project outlined in Scenario 1. The payout will be $255,000 ($85,000 × 3) or $405,000 ($135,000 × 3) because it invests three times as much. Scenario 1 (unlevered) Unsuccessful

41) Compare and contrast the two methods for amortizing the discount/premium. Interest expense in the first period is higher under which method for bonds sold at a discount? For bonds sold at a premium? Why does IFRS require public companies to use the effective interest method? Why do the Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises allow companies to use the straight-line method? Answer: The straight-line and effective interest methods are different approaches of allocating discounts and premiums to interest expense over the life of the bonds. The choice of methods does not affect a company's cash flow, as the coupon payment (the cash outflow) remains the same. Moreover, total interest expense over the life of the bond is the same. Initial interest expense will be higher under the straight-line method for bonds issued at a discount and lower for bonds issued at a premium. IFRS believes that the effective interest method is conceptually superior as a uniform interest rate is used to calculate interest expense over the life of the bond. It thus provides for better matching of expenses than does the straight-line method. The Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises permits the use of the straight-line method as it is easy to use and period results do not usually differ materially from those obtained under the effective interest method.

8) When should an entity offset a financial asset and a financial liability? Answer: According to IAS 32: A financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, an entity: (a) currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and (b) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 12.4 Apply accrual accounting to the de-recognition of financial liabilities. 9) Offsetting is the practice of showing the net amount of related assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, rather than showing each of the components separately. State and explain the pros and cons of offsetting assets against liabilities. Answer: PROS CONS 1. Offsetting usually improves 1. IFRS asserts that separately key ratios making it easier to reporting assets and liabilities meet lenders' restrictive generally conveys more covenants. information than reporting the net amount, and that offsetting compromises the user's ability to correctly interpret the financial results. 2. Offsetting may free up borrowing capacity as loan agreements typically limit the maximum debt a company can borrow.
2. IAS 1 paragraph 32 prohibits offsetting generally, unless specifically allowed by another standard. One exception is the requirement per IAS 32 paragraph 42.

10) On January 1, 2024, Snuggly Bunny Ltd. issued $3,000,000 of 4%, fifteen-year bonds priced to yield 5%. Interest is payable on June 30 and December 31. Snuggly repurchases the outstanding bonds on July 1, 2026, at which time the market rate of interest is 3.5%. Prepare the journal entries for these transactions. Answer: The fair value of the bond at time of issue is determined using discounted cash flow analysis. The fair market value of the bond at the time of repurchase is determined using discounted cash flow analysis using the current effective rate of interest (5%/2 = 2.5%) to discount the remaining cash flow stream. As at date of redemption, there are 12 1/2 years (25 periods) left to maturity. The book value of the bond at the time of repurchase is determined using discounted cash flow analysis using the original effective rate of interest to discount the remaining cash flow stream. As at date of redemption, there are 12 1/2 years left to maturity.

Answer: In-substance defeasance is an arrangement where funds sufficient to satisfy a liability are placed in trust with a third party to pay the creditors directly. The borrower cannot usually derecognize the obligation through in-substance defeasance, which is a unilateral arrangement put in place by the debtor. The defeasance would result in derecognition of the liability only if the creditor also formally confirms that the entity is no longer liable for the indebtedness.

Arlington has recorded a gain on the retirement which increases its net income for the year. Ignoring transaction costs and taxation effects, is Arlington any better off? Discuss. Answer: There are a number of ways to approach this question, but NPV (net present value) analysis is normally used. The company's cash position has not changed—they raised $6,507,449 using this money to pay out the old bond issue. The present value of the old bond issue is determined by the repurchase price - $6,507,449. This is confirmed by using a BAII PLUS financial calculator. The present value of the new bond issue is determined by the issue price - $6,507,449. This is confirmed by using a BAII PLUS financial calculator. The net cash inflow was $0, as 100% of the sale proceeds of the new issue were used to retire the old issue. This coupled with the fact that the present value of the old and new indebtedness is the same means that the company is not any better off than previously. When taxation and transaction costs are considered, the company will be worse off.

b. The most likely reason why the company was able to repurchase its bonds at a discount on March 31, 2026 is that the market interest rate for similar bonds had increased and was then greater than the coupon rate on the Club Country bonds. The decline in the market price of the company's bonds may have also been attributable to a perceived increase in the probability of default by the market and/or one or more of the debt rating agencies downgrading the rating on the bond.

4) Sarah Braun is the owner of Sarah's Shameless Boutique Corp. (SSBC), a newly incorporated company. Sarah believes that she has a great concept but does not have a lot of money to start the business. Sarah is fairly resourceful, though, and has been able to arrange the following: 1. On July 1, 2026, SSBC provides a vendor with a $18,500 non-interest-bearing note due on July 1, 2027, in exchange for furniture with a list price of $18,100. Sarah Braun guarantees the debt. 2. On August 1, 2026, SSBC buys a photocopier listed for $2,900. The office supply store agrees to accept a $800 down payment and a $2,100, three-year note payable at $798 per year including interest at 7% with the first payment due on August 1, 2027. The loan is secured by a lien on the photocopier. 3. On September 1, 2026, SSBC borrows $15,000 from its bank for working capital purposes. The loan, plus interest at 12% per annum, is due on June 30, 2027. SSBC grants the bank a security interest in its accounts receivables and inventory. Unfortunately, SSBC's target audience is a bit more prudish than she anticipated and sales have been slow. While the company was able to retire the bank loan on the due date, it had insufficient cash to pay off the furniture loan. The vendor agrees to accept 2,000 common shares in SSBC in settlement of the obligation. Sarah believed that the shares are worth $20 each, but as this was the first time that SSBC had issued shares to anyone other than Sarah, a fair market price was not yet established. SSBC's year-end is June 30. The company's banker has suggested that an appropriate market rate for SSBC is 12% per annum for loans that mature in one year or less and 14% for loans with longer maturities. Required: a. Prepare journal entries to record: i. The purchase of the office furniture. ii. The acquisition of the photocopier. iii. The receipt of the loan proceeds. iv. Payments and accruals on June 30, 2026. v. The retirement of the office furnishings loan on July 1, 2026. b. Briefly describe the note disclosure that would be required with respect to the foregoing liabilities.

Answer: As equity has legal priority below that of liabilities in general—meaning that available funds go toward paying off liabilities prior to paying equity claims should the enterprise be liquidated—equity holders are more concerned about the equity accounts than creditors. Equity holders who do have residual claims on the enterprise are concerned about the size of their claims, and they need to be aware of changes to their share of profits. Consequently, accounting reports need to provide detailed information about the composition of equity and changes in equity that can result in the dilution of owners' stakes in the business. Equity holders are interested in distinguishing (i) changes in equity due to direct contributions or withdrawals of capital from (ii) changes in equity derived from return on equity capital (i.e., income). This categorization is natural because it separates capital transactions with owners from the entity's income generating transactions with non-owners such as customers, employees, and suppliers.

18) Explain the meaning of "contributed capital" and "common share." What distinguishes a common share from a preferred share? Answer: common share: An equity interest that has the lowest priority and represents the residual ownership interest in the company. contributed capital: The component of equity that reflects amounts received by the reporting entity from transactions with its owners, net of any repayments from capital. Any share that does not represent the residual interest in the company is a preferred share. Preferred shares have priority over the common shares.

11) Briefly explain why equity is separated into contributed capital and accumulated income, and the latter is further separated into retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Answer: The separation is necessary to distinguish the results of transactions with owners from those resulting from transactions with non-owners. Transactions with owners include contribution from owners (share issuances), distribution to owners (dividends), and repurchases from owners. Transactions with other parties include all the operating activities (sales, production) as well as investing activities (purchasing equipment) and debt financing. Generally, the distinction helps to separate returns on capital (i.e., profit) from amounts contributed by owners.

19) Explain why accounting does not recognize gains on share repurchase transactions. Answer: A commonly given reason for why accounting does not recognize gains on share repurchase transactions is that it involves a company buying its own shares from its shareholders rather than a transaction with an external party. However, this is not a satisfying explanation because the (former) shareholders who sold the shares on the other side of the transaction would have recorded losses had they purchased at the issue price of $20 a share and sold back to the company at $18 a share. Instead, there are two other explanations that are more compelling. First, a drop in a company's share price is hardly good news for shareholders, so recording a gain in this situation would be inconsistent with the underlying economics. Second, permitting the recognition of gains creates a moral hazard. Since management has superior information relative to shareholders, management could record gains by judiciously timing share issuances and repurchases to the detriment of shareholders if accounting standards permitted the recognition of such gains.

20) Ellwoods Bar and Grill Ltd. sells 1,000 packages of equity security consisting of one common share and one preferred share. Each package was sold for $100; total proceeds were $100,000. At time of sale, the market price of the common shares was $91.00 and the estimated fair value of the preferred shares was $10.00. Contrast the two alternative methods of accounting for this bundled purchase. (a) The company uses the relative fair value method and (b) the company uses the residual value method. Use the following table: a) Relative Fair Value Method
(b) Residual Value Method
Answer:
(a) Relative Fair Value Method
The sum of the fair values is $101 ($91 + $10). Proportional allocation results in 91/101 of the sales price being allocated to the common shares and 10/101 being allocated to the preferred shares. DR
Cash Common shares Preferred shares
b) Residual Value Method Cash Common shares Preferred shares
CR 100,000 90,099 9,901
The common shares can be more reliably measured at their market price of $91, so the common shares pick up the first increment of $91. The preferred shares pick up the residual value of $9 ($100 - $91). 100,000 91,000 9,000

12) Explain what a "property dividend" is and why it is not common. Under what circumstances would a property dividend be advisable? Answer: A property dividend arises when, instead of cash, companies pay dividends using non-cash assets. This method of distributing value to shareholders is uncommon because different investors will value the distributed property differently, and some may not appreciate it at all. For example, a cookie manufacturer could send its shareholders boxes of cookies, which could be a problem if a shareholder owned many shares. More practically, a property dividend could be used to transfer assets from a subsidiary to a parent company.

d. Recommendation to board of directors: Either a stock dividend or a stock split would result in only cosmetic changes to the balance sheet. In both cases, the number of shares increases by 200%, but total equity in the balance sheet does not change. In the case of a stock dividend, there would be a transfer of $84 million from retained earnings to the common share account, leaving total equity unaffected. However, there are potentially tax consequences for shareholders if the company issues a stock dividend, so a stock split is the preferred option if one or the other option must be chosen. There does not seem to be a compelling reason to increase the number of shares or to decrease the stock price, so I recommend not pursuing either option.

After five years the dividend rate will be reset to the five-year Canada bond rate plus 3.35%. Dividends are payable as declared by the board of directors. April 9, 2025 28,350,000 common shares for $19.25 per share. This represents approximately 4.6% of Lifeco's total outstanding common shares. The CEO of the company stated the following regarding these share issuances: For many years, Long Life and its subsidiaries have pursued a risk-averse strategy with respect to both liabilities and assets. Consequently, today the company's balance sheet is one of the strongest in its industry. With this issue, the company will move forward with an enhanced capability to take advantage of market opportunities. Required: a. Prepare the journal entries to record the share issuances. b. Explain how the share issuances result in a "risk-averse strategy with respect to both liabilities and assets," and how this results in a strong balance sheet that allows the company to take advantage of market opportunities, such as profitable investments. c. Assume the board of directors declares dividends on December 31, 2025, in the amount of $15,000,000. Calculate the amount of dividends to be paid to preferred shareholders and common shareholders (assume the company only has the above stated series of preferred shares outstanding).

b. Equity issuances are viewed as less risky than financing with debt, as a steady stream of cash outflow is required for debt but not equity. Even preferred shares bearing a stated dividend rate do not obligate the company to pay dividends. Less risk in turn is viewed as a stronger financial position (that is, strong balance sheet). Management can use the proceeds from the share issuances to take advantage of market opportunities, as no further obligations are pending, unless management decides to declare dividends. c.

24) When a corporation engages in a capital transaction (those relating to its contributed capital), the journal entry may involve either a debit or a credit to contributed surplus. While not permitted by accounting standards, if these debits or credits were to be recognized through income, a debit would be called a "loss" and a credit would be called a "gain." Consider the following sequence of transactions: • Jan. 1, 2024: Company issues 1,500,000 no par common shares at $14 each. • Jan. 1, 2026: Company reacquires 150,000 common shares in the open market at $9 each, and cancels them immediately. There were no other capital transactions and the company had not paid any dividends. Required: a. Prepare the journal entries for the two transactions. b. Review the journal entry for January 1, 2026. How much was credited other than cash? Does this credit reflect good or bad management? As a shareholder, would you be happy or unhappy about this credit entry? c. What would have been the journal entry for January 1, 2026, had the repurchase price been $24? d. In the journal entry for part (c), explain why the debit goes to reduce retained earnings. How would a shareholder interpret the reduction in retained earnings?

b. The credit (to contributed surplus) reflects poor management. The company issued the shares at $14/share in 2024; two years later, the price has fallen to $9 without any dividends in the intervening period. Shareholders would have been better off to "stuff their money under a mattress" or to put it safely in a bank account. Consequently, shareholders should be unhappy about the credit to contributed surplus. c. Journal entry if repurchase price were to be $24/sh: Jan. 1, 2026

d. The debit is charged against retained earnings because the company has no contributed surplus to use up. Contributed surplus cannot go into a debit balance; if it were to be in a debit position, it would have to be called "contributed deficit," which defies definition because one cannot contribute a negative amount. The debit is not an expense or loss as this is a capital transaction. A shareholder should be happy despite the decline in retained earnings from this repurchase because the share price has increased. Diff: 2 Type: ES Skill: Comp Objective: 13.6 Comprehensive Question

26) Key Corp has an October 31 year-end. On October 2, 2025, the board of directors declared a cash dividend of $1.50 per common share, payable on November 24, 2025. The date of record for this dividend is November 17, and the ex-dividend date is November 15, 2025.

Comprehensive Questions 1) BA Paint Ltd. was incorporated on January 1, 2024. The incorporation documents authorized an unlimited number of common shares and 200,000 preferred shares. During the following fiscal year, the company engaged in the following transactions relating to its equity: On January 1, the company issued 20,000 no par value common shares at $10 per share. On the same day, it issued 5,000 preferred shares for proceeds of $120 per share. These preferred shares have a par value of $100 per share and cumulative dividends of 6% per year. On March 20, the company issued an additional 20,000 common shares at $20 per share. On April 30, BA Paint Ltd. repurchased and cancelled 2,000 common shares at a cost of $12 per share. On September 1, the company issued stock options to its executives. These stock options entitle the executives to purchase up to 10,000 common shares at a price of $25 per share over the next five years. The board of directors intended the options to compensate for management's services for the eight months from January 1 to August 31, 2024. Compensation consultants have estimated the value of these options to be $20,000. On September 2, the company repurchased and cancelled 2,000 shares at $22 per share. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the company had net income of $130,000 and zero other comprehensive income. The board of directors declared the 6% dividends payable to preferred shareholders and $20,000 of dividends for the common shareholders. To analyze these transactions, it is often useful to use a spreadsheet. Similar to inventory accounting, it is necessary to keep track of both the dollar amounts and the number of units (shares). In addition, it is necessary to separate the equity components among common and preferred shares, any contributed surplus for each class of shares, as well as retained earnings. Required: 1. Provide the journal entries for each of these transactions. 2. Prepare a statement of changes in equity. Note: AOCI from revaluations during 2024 was $250.

18) What is hedging? Answer: Hedging involves identifying a risk and trying to mitigate that risk by entering into derivative contract. For example, a Canadian manufacturer that purchases inventory from a U.S. supplier on credit is subject to the risk that the U.S. dollar may strengthen (appreciate) against the Canadian dollar. The manufacturer can reduce the foreign exchange risk by entering into a forward contract to buy U.S. dollars at a future date at a specified exchange rate, effectively locking in its cost of inventory at the time of purchase.

Answer: Speculation is purposefully taking on an identified risk with a view to making a profit. For instance, one can take a gamble that the exchange rate will move in his/her favour by entering into a forward exchange agreement. For example, a party could bet that the U.S. dollar will weaken against the Canadian dollar. If the US$ weakens during the period, the speculator will make a profit, but if the US$ strengthens in the period, the speculator will lose money. Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 14.1 Describe the nature of standard financial instruments, derivatives, and compound financial instruments, and identify when transactions involve such instruments. 20) Briefly explain the difference between a "forward" and a "future." Answer: In a forward contract, one party to the contract commits to buy something at a specified price at a specified future date. A future is similar to a forward but the contract is written in more standardized terms (e.g., prices, maturity dates) and involves commonly traded items (e.g., commodities, currencies). The reason for the standardized terms is that futures are tradable in organized markets, and standardization increases liquidity since more investors are trading the same contracts.

Answer: The main differences are that warrants are issued only by the company whose shares are the underlying instrument. Compared with options, warrants also tend to have longer times to maturity (typically three to ten years) and they tend to be issued in combination with other financial instruments such as bonds, preferred shares and commons shares.

24) Explain how bonds issued with warrants alleviate adverse selection problem. Answer: With such an instrument, the company is initially issuing debt, which does not send the negative signal that share issuances do. Investors who hold these bonds will exercise the warrants only when it is beneficial to them- holders of the warrants would exercise the warrants only if the warrants are in-the-money, which is when the company is doing well. Upon exercise, the warrant holders contribute to the firm an amount of cash equal to the exercise price. The company increases equity not by issuing shares directly, but by issuing shares indirectly via investors exercising their warrants to buy shares.

Answer: This instrument provides the company with funds in more than one stage, which is helpful at alleviating moral hazard. Investors do not want to give too much money to management when outcomes are highly uncertain because management may misspend the funds. At the same time, the conversion option is a commitment from investors to provide additional funding—but only if the company performs well. If the company performs poorly, the conversion option will be out-of-the-money, and investors will choose to not exercise these rights.

Answer: A compound financial instrument is one that has more than one component, for example, debt and equity. A company that issues common shares sends a negative signal to investors, because the share issuance indicates a lack of confidence in the future prospects of the company. Compound financial instruments issue shares indirectly via conversion of bonds, options or warrants into shares. It provides the company with money in stages to prevent management overspending and conversion only occurs if the company is doing well.

31) Explain the conceptual meaning of the difference between the book value and market value methods of recording the conversion of bonds into common shares. Answer: Under the "book value" method used under IFRS: On conversion of a convertible instrument at maturity, the entity derecognizes the liability component and recognizes it as equity. The original equity component remains as equity (although it may be transferred from one line item within equity to another). There is no gain or loss on conversion at maturity. Under the "market value" used under ASPE: The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part of a financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred, liabilities assumed, or equity instruments issued, shall be recognized in net income for the period. The book value method records the common shares at the current book value of the convertible bond and related contributed surplus; no gain or loss is recorded. In contrast, the market value method records the shares at their fair value at date of conversion, recording a loss for the difference between the market value and the book value as determined above.

33) Becamel Company issued 100,000 preferred shares and received proceeds of $6,500,000. These shares have a benchmark price of $60 per share and pay cumulative dividends of 8%. Buyers of the preferred shares also received a detachable warrant with each share purchased. Each warrant gives the holder the right to buy one common share at $30 per share within 10 years. The underwriter estimated that the market value of the preferred shares alone, excluding the conversion rights, is approximately $62 per share. Shortly after the issuance of the preferred shares, the detachable warrants traded at $3 each. Required: Record the journal entry for the issuance of these shares and warrants.

34) On September 30, 2026, Pennsylvania Co. issued $3 million of 10%, 10-year convertible bonds maturing on September 30, 2036, with semi-annual coupon payments on March 31 and September 30. Each $1,000 bond can be converted into 80 no par value common shares. In addition, each bond included 20 detachable common stock warrants with an exercise price of $20 each. Immediately after issuance, the warrants traded at $5 each on the open market. Gross proceeds on issuance were $4.6 million (including accrued interest). From these proceeds, the company paid underwriting fees of $55,000. Without the warrants and conversion features the bond would be expected to yield 6% annually. Pennsylvania's yearend is December 31. On February 22, 2029, warrant holders exercised one-half of the warrants. The shares of Pennsylvania traded at $44 each on this day. Required: a) Determine how Niagara should allocate the $4,600,000 proceeds into its components. b) Prepare all the journal entries for fiscal year 2026. c) Record the journal entry for the exercise of stock warrants on February 22, 2029.

4) List three common stock compensation plans and describe them. Answer: a) Employee stock options. An option contract gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell something at a specified price. The most common type of option is a call option, which gives the holder the right to acquire an underlying instrument at a pre-specified price within a defined period of time. b) Stock appreciation rights (SARs). Similar to stock options, employees benefit from SARs when the actual stock price rises above a pre-determined benchmark price. c) Warrants provide the holder with the right, but not the obligation, to buy a company's shares at a specified price over a specified period of time. Thus, warrants are similar to call options. The main differences are that warrants are issued only by the company whose shares are the underlying instrument. Compared with options, warrants also tend to have longer times to maturity (typically three to ten years), and they tend to be issued in combination with other financial instruments such as bonds, preferred shares, and common shares.

Answer: Basic EPS communicates "ownership" of earnings based on the average number of ordinary shares actually outstanding during the period. An indicator of profitability that measures how much of the company's earnings are attributable (belong) to each ordinary share. Diluted EPS is more abstract in nature as it conveys the hypothetical worst-case scenario that considers the effect of potentially dilutive securities—securities that could lead to the issuance of additional ordinary shares. Examples of securities that are potentially dilutive include convertible securities and stock options. Measures the amount of the company's earnings attributable to each ordinary shareholder in a hypothetical scenario in which all dilutive securities are converted to ordinary shares.

23) Explain why dividends to preferred shareholders are adjusted in the numerator of the EPS calculation. Answer: We need to adjust for dividends on preferred shares. There are two groups that have claims on a company's profit: ordinary shareholders and preferred shareholders. While dividend payments made to the preferred shareholders do not flow through the income statement, these monies are not available to ordinary shareholders and must be deducted for EPS purposes. The amount subtracted reflects either the stated dividend rate or declared dividends, depending on whether the preferred shares are cumulative or non-cumulative. Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 15.2 Calculate basic earnings per share. 24) Explain how the dividends on non-cumulative preferred shares are adjusted in the EPS calculation. What is the underlying logic for this adjustment? Answer: For non-cumulative preferred shares, deduct the dividends declared (whether paid or not) without considering the stated entitlement. The logic underlying these requirements is rooted in the matching concept. The company is not required to pay non-cumulative preferred dividends unless the board of directors declares them. Accordingly, it is proper to deduct dividends from net income only if they have been declared. Also, EPS is based on profit or loss for the period, rather than cash flow; accordingly, we deduct dividends in the period to which they relate rather than when they are paid. Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 15.2 Calculate basic earnings per share. 25) For stock splits and stock dividends, while it is possible to state the number of shares as beginning-ofyear equivalents, it makes more sense to use end-of-year equivalents because financial statement readers are evaluating EPS after the end of the year. Explain why the adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends is standardized. Answer: The reasons for standardizing the adjustment date for splits and dividends are to preclude possible manipulation of EPS through discretionary timing; to ensure that EPS is prepared on a consistent basis by all companies; and to enhance comparability.

26) Explain how the dividends on cumulative preferred shares are adjusted in the EPS calculation. What is the underlying logic for this adjustment? Answer: For cumulative preferred shares, deduct the preferred shareholders' entitlement to dividends according to the stated dividend rate regardless of whether they were declared or paid. If there are dividends in arrears, only the current period's dividend rate should be considered. The logic underlying these requirements is rooted in the matching concept. The obligation to pay dividends on cumulative preferred shares arises from the passage of time. The responsibility cannot be avoided, as the preferred shareholders must receive all dividends due before any monies are distributed to ordinary shareholders. As such, it is appropriate to deduct the dividend entitlement from net income for the corresponding period even if they have not been declared. Also, EPS is based on profit or loss for the period, rather than cash flow; accordingly, we deduct dividends in the period to which they relate rather than when they are paid.

23) What is the formula for diluted EPS? What are dilutive and antidilutive potential ordinary shares and how do they each impact the computation of dilutes EPS? Answer: Diluted EPS = (Net income available to ordinary shareholders + the income effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares) / (Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding + the share effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares). Dilutive potential ordinary shares (POS) are financial instruments or agreements that if exercised would result in basic EPS decreasing. Antidilutive POS are financial instruments or agreements that if exercised would result in basic EPS increasing. Dilutive POS are included in the determination of diluted EPS while antidilutive POS are ignored. Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 15.3 Differentiate between dilutive and antidilutive potential ordinary shares. 24) Since, the objective of reporting diluted EPS is to provide the lowest possible EPS figure, we include all dilutive POS but exclude any antidilutive POS. What are the four steps in the process to separate dilutive from antidilutive POS and to calculate diluted EPS? Answer: 1. Identify all potential ordinary shares. 2. Compute "incremental EPS" for each category of potential ordinary shares. 3. Rank order incremental EPS on potential ordinary shares from the lowest (the most dilutive) to the highest (least dilutive). 4. Sequentially compare incremental EPS to "provisional EPS" to determine diluted EPS. Diff: 1 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 15.3 Differentiate between dilutive and antidilutive potential ordinary shares. 25) Explain the purpose of incremental EPS. Answer: Incremental EPS is used to rank the order of the securities in terms of their dilutiveness. This information is needed to identify dilutive and antidilutive POS and ensure that we obtain the lowest (i.e., most dilutive) EPS. Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 15.3 Differentiate between dilutive and antidilutive potential ordinary shares. 26) Explain the "income effect" and "share effect" as they apply to the calculation of incremental EPS. Answer: Income effect: The income effect indicates the incremental after-tax income available to ordinary shareholders if a category of potential ordinary shares had been converted into ordinary shares. There is a different income effect for each class of POS. Share effect: The share effect indicates the incremental number of ordinary shares outstanding if a category of potential ordinary shares had been converted into ordinary shares. There is a different share effect for each class of POS. In addition, it is necessary to treat convertible securities differently from options and warrants because of the different nature of the two types of securities.

27) Describe the procedure for identifying dilutive and antidilutive potential ordinary shares and calculating diluted EPS. Answer: The process for identifying dilutive and antidilutive POS and calculating diluted EPS follows: i) Identify all potential ordinary shares ii) Compute incremental EPS for each category of potential ordinary shares a. Calculate incremental EPS on convertible bonds and convertible preferred shares using the ifconverted method b. Determine incremental EPS on warrants and options using the treasury stock method iii) Rank incremental EPS on potential ordinary shares from the lowest (the most dilutive) to the highest (least dilutive) iv) Sequentially compare incremental EPS to provisional EPS. If incremental EPS is lower than provisional EPS, include the POS in the diluted EPS computation and check the next rank-ordered item for dilutiveness. Continue the process until incremental EPS exceeds provisional EPS. At this point, further calculations are not required as the last recorded provisional EPS equals diluted EPS. Diff: 2 Type: ES Skill: Concept Objective: 15.3 Differentiate between dilutive and antidilutive potential ordinary shares. 28) Explain why only in-the-money options need be considered in the diluted EPS calculations. Answer: For purposes of computing diluted EPS, we consider only call options and warrants that are in-the-money, which is when the market price of the underlying security exceeds the exercise price (also called the strike price). They are said to be in-the-money as the holder could pay the agreed-upon exercise price (say $30) and immediately resell the security for the market price (say $32) and earn a profit. Conversely, call options and warrants are out-of-the-money when the market price of the security is less than the exercise price. They are said to be out-of-the-money because the holder would have to pay more for the security (say $34) than he/ she could simultaneously sell it for in the market (say $32), and as such would generate a loss if this sub-optimal strategy were pursued.

*As the bonds were issued during the year, the income and share effect both need to be pro-rated. **As the bonds were converted during the year, the income effect is calculated only for the period that the bonds were outstanding. Similarly, the potential ordinary shares are pro-rated for the period the convertible security was outstanding. Factoring in the partial year does not affect incremental EPS because the same adjustment is made to the numerator (income effect) and denominator (share effect).

At the option of the holder, each $1,000 bond can be converted into 14 ordinary shares at any time before expiry. Bonds B–$2,000,000, 5%, semi-annual bonds maturing September 30, 2029. The owners of the bonds elect to convert them into 12,000 ordinary shares on December 1, 2025. 200,000 cumulative preferred shares that are each entitled to dividends of $2.00 per annum. Dividends are not declared in 2025. Cedarsprings' corporate tax rate was 40%. The recorded conversion factor for the convertible bonds has already been adjusted for the stock split. Required: Assuming that the effective rate of interest on the bonds equals the coupon rate: a) Calculate Cedarsprings' basic earnings per share for 2025. b) Prepare a schedule that sets out the income effect, share effect, and incremental EPS for each security that is convertible into ordinary shares. Rank the potential ordinary shares by their dilutiveness. c) Calculate Cedarsprings' diluted earnings per share for 2025.

*As the bonds were issued during the year, the income and share effect both need to be pro-rated. **As the bonds were converted during the year, the income effect is calculated only for the period that the bonds were outstanding. Similarly, the potential ordinary shares are pro-rated for the period the convertible security was outstanding. Factoring in the partial year does not affect incremental EPS because the same adjustment is made to the numerator (income effect) and denominator (share effect). However, the partial year adjustment does affect the calculation of diluted EPS, as determined below. Sequentially compare the incremental EPS to the provisional EPS to determine diluted EPS.

33) Know Your Rights Co. has three stock option plans outstanding on December 31, 2025. It provides the holders with the following entitlements: • Stock option A—The holders may purchase 55,000 ordinary shares at any time on or before December 31, 2029, for $41 each. • Stock option B—The holders may purchase 2,000 ordinary shares at any time on or before December 31, 2026 for $47 each. From January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2029, the holders may purchase 7,000 ordinary shares for $52 each. • Stock option C—The holders may purchase 12,000 ordinary shares at any time on or before December 31, 2027 for $51 each. The average price of ordinary shares in 2025 was $50 and its basic EPS from continuing operations for the year was $1.01. Required: a. Which of the stock options are dilutive and which are antidilutive in 2025? What is the rule in this respect? b. Assuming that all three option plans have been in place the entire year, for each plan, determine the incremental number of shares, if any, that need to be considered for diluted EPS purposes. c. Assume that stock option A was issued on April 1, 2025. Does this change your answer to part b? If so, what is the revised number of incremental shares for option A that need to be considered for diluted EPS purposes? Answer: a. Stock options A and B are dilutive, while stock option C is antidilutive. Stock options A and B are in the money: their exercise price is less than the market price of the shares. Stock option C is out of the money: its exercise price is greater than the market price of the shares. The rule in this respect is that if earnings per share from continuing operations is positive, then in-the-money call options are dilutive and out-ofthe-money options are antidilutive. When there are multiple conversion options, as with stock option B, the most dilutive alternative is always considered—which in this case is $47. Hence, stock option B is dilutive. b. The number of incremental shares arising from each of these option plans is as follows: i) Stock option A—9,900 shares [Number of incremental shares to be issued = [[(average market price strike price) / average market price] × number of options = ($50 - $41) / $50] × 55,000] ii) Stock option B—120 shares [Number of incremental shares to be issued = [[(average market price strike price) / average market price] × number of options = ($50 - $47) / $50] × 2,000] iii) Stock option C—0 (the options are antidilutive as they are out of the money) c. Yes, the answer to part b changes, because when options are issued during the year the incremental shares need to be pro-rated: [Number of incremental shares to be issued = [[(average market price - strike price) / average market price] × number of options × fraction of year options outstanding = ($50 - $41) / $50] × 55,000 × 9 / 12 = 7,425] Diff: 2 Type: ES Skill: Comp Objective: 15.3 Differentiate between dilutive and antidilutive potential ordinary shares. 52 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Canada Inc.

Briefly describe the application of the treasury stock method. c. What does the treasury stock method assume about the exercise date? What is the exception to the rule with respect to the assumed exercise date? What alternative procedure is employed in this instance? Answer: a. The treasury stock method is the process used to determine the share effect for call options and warrants when the firm's capital structure includes these financial instruments. b. The treasury stock method is applied as follows: i) For in-the-money options (the average market price > the exercise price) compute the cash to be received upon exercise of the options (cash received = number of shares to be delivered × the strike price per share) ii) Determine the number of shares that the proceeds will buy in the marketplace (number of purchased shares = cash to be received/average market price of shares) iii) Calculate the number of incremental shares that the company will have to issue to meet its obligation (number of incremental shares = number of shares to be delivered - number of purchased shares) c. The procedure assumes that the options were exercised at the beginning of the period. Algebraically, this can be expressed as: IS = [(S – K)/S] × N. Alternatively, this can be expressed as IS = N(1 – K/S), where: IS = number of incremental shares to be issued K = exercise price N = number of shares that would have been issued for option exercise S = average market price The exception to the rule with respect to the assumed exercise date is when the security was issued during the year. If the warrant or option was issued during the year the incremental number of shares to be issued is pro-rated. Diff: 2 Type: ES Skill: Concept Objective: 15.4 Calculate diluted earnings per share.

Stock options A, C, and D are dilutive as the exercise price is less than the average market price. Stock option B is anti-dilutive as the exercise price is greater than the average market price, hence it can be ignored. Dilutive stock options do not have an income effect, therefore the incremental EPS of all dilutive options is $0. It does not matter which order they are applied in to determine provisional EPS. Option A [(average market price - strike price) / average market price] × number of options = 20,000 potential ordinary shares. Option C [(average market price - strike price) / average market price] × number of options × period option outstanding = 2,778 potential ordinary shares. Option D [(average market price - strike price) / average market price] × number of options × period option outstanding = 741 potential ordinary shares.

21) Discuss why accounting for "defined benefit plans" is so complex and the types of estimates required. Answer: In these plans, the employer guarantees to employees a certain amount of benefits in the future. Since the benefit payments could be decades away from the services the company receives now, there is clearly a severe mismatch in the timing of the future cash payments to employees and when they earn those benefits. Thus, cash accounting is obviously inappropriate and accrual accounting is needed. However, the computations of the amounts to be accrued are complex due to the need to forecast decades into the future. In particular, we need to estimate (at least) the following: • When will each employee be entitled to retire and receive pension payments? • For how long will each employee be entitled to pension payments? i.e., how long will employees live (how long is their life expectancy)? • How much will be the periodic pension payments for each employee? • What part of the expected benefit payments relate to services provided in the current year? • What is the value of the pension obligation at retirement? • How much in plan assets are required now in order to satisfy the pension obligation at retirement?

22) What are the components of the pension expense in a defined benefit plan? Briefly explain the meaning of each component. Answer: The six components are: A) current service cost B) past service cost C) interest cost on pension obligations D) expected income from plan assets E) actuarial gains and losses on plan obligations F) unexpected gains and losses on plan assets a. Current service cost—this portion of the pension expense is the increase in the present value of the pension obligation that results from the employees' current services. This information is provided by the pension plan's actuary. b. Past service costs arise from plan initiations and amendments offered by the employer. A company could introduce a new pension plan or improve benefits on an existing plan, and give these new/ improved benefits retroactively to cover several years of past service. These costs are normally recoginized when the plan is initiated or amended. c. Interest cost—this component represents the increase in the pension obligation due to the passage of time (i.e., due to the pension payment dates becoming closer). IFRS specifies that enterprises should use the yields on high-quality corporate bonds. The term of the bonds should have a maturity that matches the term of the pension obligations. If pension payments will be 20 years in the future for the average employee, then the yield on 20-year bonds would be most appropriate. d. Expected income from plan assets—Assets in the pension plan earn investment income from interest, dividends, and capital gains. This income increases the value of plan assets. The rate used to estimated expected returns is the same rate used to determine interest costs. Deviations of actual investment results and the expected income accumulate in actuarial gains and losses (see item e). e. These gains and losses come from the difference between the actual and expected values of the obligation. f. These gains and losses come from the difference between the actual and expected values of the plan assets, which reflects an accumulation of differences between actual and expected investment earnings.

Answer: Allowing pension gains or losses to flow through the income could result in volatility of income which could lead to adverse behavioural consequences. Companies would be less willing to use defined benefit pension plans because management generally dislikes volatility in income. Requiring gains and losses to flow through OCI without recycling through the income statement ensures that the balance sheet reflects the fair value of pension assets and liabilities without increasing the volatility of net income.

10) What is the key distinction between amounts recorded through income as pension expense versus amounts recorded through OCI? Answer: The key distinction between amounts recorded through income as pension expense versus amounts recorded through OCI is the amount recorded through income reflects the expected outcomes, while the amount recorded through OCI reflects the difference between the actual and expected outcomes.

What is the conceptual reason for recognizing these two components through OCI rather than net income? Answer: The two components of OCI related to pensions are (i) actuarial gains and losses on pension obligations and (ii) unexpected gains and losses on pension assets. Standards specify that these two amounts should flow through OCI because management generally dislikes volatility in net income; allowing these gains and losses to bypass the income statement avoids unnecessarily deterring the use of defined benefit plans by companies.

Answer:
Change in Assumption Increase rate of wage increase when pension benefits are specified relative to employee wages Decrease Increase life expectancy of employees' obligations Decrease Increase interest rate on pension obligations No effect Increase age of retirement when employees become eligible for retirement benefit Increase
Decrease Decrease Increase* Increase
*A defined pension asset balance in the general ledger means that plan assets > plan liabilities, e.g. the plan is in a surplus. Given that the expected rate of return on assets must be calculated using the same rate as that used for determining the interest expense on the pension obligation, the increase in the interest rate means that the increase in the expected return on assets will exceed the increased interest expense on plan obligation. In other words, the pension plan asset will grow by more than the plan obligation, thus increasing the defined pension asset reported on the company's financial statements.

13) Changing Assumptions Ltd. has the following details related to its defined benefit pension plan as at December 31, 2024: Pension fund assets of $1,900,000 and Actuarial obligation of $1,806,317. The actuarial obligation represents the present value of a single benefit payment of $3,200,000 that is due on December 31, 2030, discounted at an interest rate of 10%; i.e. $3,200,000 / 1.106 = $1,806,317. Funding during 2025 was $55,000. The actual value of pension fund assets at the end of 2025 was $2,171,000. As a result of the current services received from employees, the single payment due on December 31, 2030, had increased from $3,200,000 to $3,380,000. Required: a. Compute the current service cost for 2025 and the amount of the accrued benefit obligation at December 31, 2025. Perform this computation for interest rates of 8%, 10%, and 12%. b. Derive the pension expense for 2025 under various assumptions about the expected return and discount rate. Complete the following table:

c. The assumptions for the expected return on assets and the discount rate on pension obligations are both important. Increases in the return on assets decrease the pension expense while increases in the discount rate have the opposite effect of increasing the pension expense. When both rates increase by the same amount, the pension expense declines because the current service cost declines; the interest cost and expected return almost offset because plan assets and obligations are at about the same level. When the discount rate increases, the accrued pension obligation decreases. The present value of a payment in the future becomes less when the discount rate is higher.

Comprehensive Question 1) Capricious Co. Ltd. (Cap) operates a defined benefit pension plan that offers its employees an annual retirement income based on years of service and average of the final five years' earnings prior to retirement. On January 1, 2024, Cap improved the pension benefits by increasing the percentage of the last five years' earnings from 2.1% to 2.2%. This enhancement has been retroactively applied to all actively employed workers on January 1, 2024. The amendment gave rise to an increase in the accrued benefit obligation of $100,000 on January 1, 2024. On January 1, 2025, the balance of the accrued benefit obligation is $600,000 and the pension fund assets total $520,000. The following amounts relate to Cap's pension plan experience as determined by annual valuations in 2025 and 2026:

19) Why do the supporting indicators for lease classification use "major part" and "substantially all" rather than "all" in reference to the amount of time and value contained in the lease? Answer: The supporting indicators use wording that is less than "all" because the standards setters anticipate a certain amount of earnings management in the subjective estimates of useful life and fair value. Lessors prefer finance lease treatment, so they will tend to bias these estimates downward. Diff: 3 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 17.1 Apply the criteria for lessors for classifying leases as finance (capital) or operating leases, and apply the appropriate accounting method. 20) Why do lessors prefer financing lease treatment over operating lease treatment? Answer: A lessor generally prefers the finance lease treatment because on the balance sheet, a nonmonetary item (inventory or capital asset) is converted to a monetary item (loan receivable), which appears more liquid. On the income statement, any profit from the asset sale is recognized immediately. During the life of the lease, interest income is recorded. In the early years of a lease, interest income under finance lease treatment will usually exceed lease revenue net of depreciation under operating lease treatment.

Answer: Lessors generally prefer the finance lease treatment because on the balance sheet, a nonmonetary item (inventory or capital asset) is converted to a monetary item (loan receivable), which appears more liquid. On the income statement, any profit from the asset sale is recognized immediately. During the life of the lease, interest income is recorded. Under operating lease treatment, the lessor shows a leased asset and must depreciate the asset. Lease payments are recognized as revenue when earned (which is usually close to its receipt).

26) What are the advantages to the lessee of leasing an asset, rather than purchasing it? Answer: 1. "100%" financing of the asset's purchase price, which is often more than the amount that can be obtained from a loan. 2. Payment schedules that are more flexible in comparison to loans. 3. 100% deductibility of the lease payments from the lessee's taxable income 4. After-tax costs are lower due to differences in tax rates for the lessor and lessee. Diff: 3 Type: ES Skill: Concept Objective: 17.1 Apply the criteria for lessors for classifying leases as finance (capital) or operating leases, and apply the appropriate accounting method. 27) What is meant by the agency cost of leasing? Answer: The user who controls the asset during the lease (the lessee) is not the owner of the asset (because the lessor still owns it). The lessor must bear a risk that the lessee will not take the utmost care of the leased property (or as much care as the lessor would). This reduced level of care due to separation of an asset's ownership and its control is the agency cost of leasing. Diff: 3 Type: ES Skill: Concept Objective: 17.1 Apply the criteria for lessors for classifying leases as finance (capital) or operating leases, and apply the appropriate accounting method. 28) What are four examples of lease conditions that help mitigate agency costs? Answer: a) Damage deposits for apartments deter renters from harming the property. b) Long-term car leases often limit the amount of mileage that can be driven annually. c) A bargain purchase option that allows the lessee to purchase the asset at a price below the market value expected at the end of the lease. d) A guaranteed residual value, whereby the lessee must ensure that the leased asset retains a certain value at the end of the lease. Diff: 3 Type: ES Skill: Concept Objective: 17.1 Apply the criteria for lessors for classifying leases as finance (capital) or operating leases, and apply the appropriate accounting method.

29) List factors that impact the degree to which this agency cost is a factor. Answer: a) The inherent nature of the asset that is leased. Assets that are robust and difficult to damage have lower agency costs and are better candidates for leasing. b) The incentives of the lessee to maintain the condition of the leased asset. Some types of lessees are more motivated to maintain the leased asset than others. For example, airlines are very keen to ensure that their leased aircraft are safe for their customers since the consequences of equipment failure are severe in terms of both the airlines' business and human lives. c) Regulations that require a high degree of care. Airlines again are a good example here. Regulators have stringent requirements for maintaining commercial passenger aircraft. d) Conditions negotiated between the lessor and lessee. Lease agreements often contain conditions that mitigate agency costs. For example, damage deposits for apartments, mileage limits for cars, bargain purchase options and guaranteed residual values. e) The length of the lease contract. If the length of the lease contract covers substantially the entire useful life of the asset then agency costs will be minimal, since the lessee bears the cost of neglecting or abusing the property. Diff: 3 Type: ES Skill: Concept Objective: 17.1 Apply the criteria for lessors for classifying leases as finance (capital) or operating leases, and apply the appropriate accounting method. 30) For the lessor, what is the general criterion for deciding whether a lease is an operating or a finance lease? Answer: a) Ownership of the leased asset transfers to the lessee at the end of the lease. b) The lease includes a bargain purchase option (BPO). c) The lease term is a major part of the economic life of the asset. What constitutes a "major part" is a matter of professional judgement, as IFRS does not quantify this term. ASPE, however, establishes that a "major part" is ≥ 75% of the asset's economic life. d) The present value of the lease payments (PVLP) comprises substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset. Again, "substantially all" is a matter of professional judgement, as IFRS does not quantify this term. ASPE, though, establishes that "substantially all" is ≥ 90% of the asset's fair value. e) The leased asset is so specialized that, without major modification, it cannot be used by anyone other than the lessee. The foregoing indicators, individually or together, normally constitute sufficient evidence that substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred. Thus, if one or more of these factors are present, the lessor will normally classify the lease as a finance lease.

Option 2: Purchase the equipment for $71,000 by borrowing the full purchase amount at 12% over 10 years. This price is considered the fair value of the equipment. Payments are due at the end of each fiscal year (February 28). The equipment has a useful life of 10 years and would be depreciated on a straight-line basis. No residual value is expected to exist at the end of 10 years. Required: a. Calculate the present value of the lease payments (Option 1). b. Calculate the payment that would be required under the purchase option (Option 2). c. Calculate and briefly discuss the financial impact of each option on the non-current assets, total liabilities, and net income of Viribana for the first year of operations. Assume all payments were made when due. Show your calculations. d. Indicate which option you would recommend for Viribana. Provide an explanation to support your recommendation. Answer: a. Present value of lease payments: Using BAII Plus: 2nd BGN, 2nd SET, 2nd QUIT, 10 N, 12 I/Y, 11200 PMT, CPT PV → PV = -70,876; ROU asset = $70,876; Lease liability = $70,876 - $11,200 = $59,676 b.

15) Discuss what is meant by the risk-adjusted rate and which risk adjusted rates the lessee and the lessor should use? Answer: Finance theory suggests that the appropriate discount/interest rate is the risk- adjusted rate. However, there is some uncertainty as to the type of risk that should be factored into this rate: the risk associated with the asset being leased, or the risk of the lessee. First, note that a rational lessor should factor in risks of both the asset and the risk of the lessee in setting the terms of the lease, especially the lease payments. The risk-adjusted interest rate from the cash flow stream expected by the lessor and the fair value of the leased property is called the "implicit rate," The lessee, on the other hand, may not always have sufficient information to calculate the implicit rate. In this case, under IFRS, the lessee uses its incremental borrowing rate, the interest rate that the lessee would have to pay on a similar lease or loan. Thus, under IFRS, the interest rate for the lessee is determined on a hierarchical basis: use the implicit rate if available; otherwise, use the incremental borrowing rate.

33) Discuss what is meant by the risk-adjusted rate and which risk adjusted rates the lessee and the lessor should use. Answer: Finance theory suggests that the appropriate discount/interest rate is the risk- adjusted rate. However, there is some uncertainty as to the type of risk that should be factored into this rate: the risk associated with the asset being leased, or the risk of the lessee. First, note that a rational lessor should factor in risks of both the asset and the risk of the lessee in setting the terms of the lease, especially the lease payments. The risk-adjusted interest rate from the cash flow stream expected by the lessor and the fair value of the leased property is called the "implicit rate," The lessee, on the other hand, may not always have sufficient information to calculate the implicit rate. In this case, under IFRS, the lessee uses its incremental borrowing rate, the interest rate that the lessee would have to pay on a similar lease or loan. Thus, under IFRS, the interest rate for the lessee is determined on a hierarchical basis: use the implicit rate if available; otherwise, use the incremental borrowing rate. Diff: 3 Type: SA Skill: Comp Objective: 17.3 Apply the appropriate accounting method for lessees' right-of-use assets. 34) Under ASPE, when is it possible for the present value of the minimum lease payments to exceed the fair value of the leased property? What must the lessee do to prevent recording an overvalued asset? Answer: When the lessee does use its incremental borrowing rate, it is possible for the lessee's present value of the lease payments to exceed the fair value of the leased property. However, recording such a finance lease using the present value amount would result in an overvalued asset on the books. In such a circumstance, the lease is recorded at the fair value of the leased property, and the lessee must recompute the interest rate in the lease using the fair value.

Answer: The main disclosure requirements are as followed: - Lease income for the period arising from finance leases segregated into its component parts (e.g., any profit on sale of assets, finance income on the net investment in the lease, and variable lease payments not included in the net investment in the lease). - Lease payments to be received for each of the first five years and the total of the amounts to be received for the remaining years. These amounts are not adjusted for time value of money. - A reconciliation of the net investment in finance leases to the undiscounted lease payments to be received. Unearned finance income and any discounted unguaranteed residual values must be identified.

Learning Objective 6 Describe the nature of sale and leaseback transactions and account for these transactions. 1) Why are there special accounting rules for sale-leaseback transactions? Answer: There are special accounting rules for sale-leaseback transactions as the two transactions are bundled, with the same two parties involved in both transactions. As a result, the sales price may not reflect the fair value of the asset, as the buyer-lessor can adjust the future lease payments to compensate for the difference. For example, if the sales price of the asset is $100,000 more than its fair value, then the lease could be structured so that the present value of the lease payments is $100,000 more than the market rent for an equivalent asset. To prevent manipulation of this nature, IFRS 16 and supporting materials clearly prescribe how to treat any gain or loss on sale and leaseback transactions. Diff: 3 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 17.6 Describe the nature of sale and leaseback transactions and account for these transactions. 2) List four factors that preclude the seller-lessee from recognizing a sale on a sale and leaseback transaction. Answer: · The seller-lessee has an option to repurchase the asset at a price stipulated in the sale and leaseback agreement. · The seller-lessee must subsequently repurchase the asset at a price stipulated in the sale and leaseback agreement. · The seller-lessee must repurchase the asset if requested to do so by the buyer-lessor and the stipulated price is lower than the original selling price of the asset. · The seller-lessee must repurchase the asset if requested to do so by the buyer-lessor and the stipulated price is equal to or greater than the original selling price and is more than the expected market value of the asset at the time of repurchase. (Note that when comparing the repurchase price to the selling price, the time value of money must be considered.) Diff: 3 Type: ES Skill: Comp Objective: 17.6 Describe the nature of sale and leaseback transactions and account for these transactions. 3) Describe how the buyer-lessor accounts for a sale and leaseback transaction when the sales criteria are not met. Answer: When the sales criteria are not met, the buyer-lessor does not recognize either a lease receivable or an asset purchase. Rather, it recognizes a financial asset under IFRS 9–Financial Instruments for the consideration paid to the seller-lessee for the sale. Typically, the buyer-lessor will report the financial asset at amortized cost. The lease payments stipulated in the lease agreement are accounted for as payments received on the loan. Diff: 3 Type: ES Skill: Comp Objective: 17.6 Describe the nature of sale and leaseback transactions and account for these transactions.

4) Describe the rationale for the seller-lessee deferring gains or losses on sale-leaseback transactions when the revenue recognition criteria detailed in IFRS 15 have been met. Answer: The rationale for deferring gain or losses on sale-leaseback transactions is that in accordance with IFRS 15, a sale can only be recognized if the transfer meets the requirements of IFRS 15–Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This occurs when the vendor (the seller-lessee) satisfies the performance obligation by transferring the promised good or service (the asset in the sale leaseback agreement) to the customer (the buyer-lessor) and the customer takes control of the asset. The revenue recognition requirement set out above essentially has two parts: (i) the seller-lessee transfers the asset and (ii) the buyer-lessor takes control. Typically, there is no question that the first requirement is met because the seller-lessee and buyer-lessor have entered into an agreement that legally transfers ownership of the asset. The control requirement is not so straightforward, however, as the seller-lessee continues to use the asset. As such, the portion of the gain that relates to the seller-lessee's right-to-use the asset is deferred and recognized over the term of the lease through reporting less depreciation expense than would have been reported had the sale and leaseback transaction not been entered into. Diff: 3 Type: ES Skill: Concept Objective: 17.6 Describe the nature of sale and leaseback transactions and account for these transactions. 5) Describe how the seller-lessee amortizes gains on a sale-leaseback transaction that qualifies as a sale. Answer: When a sale and leaseback transaction qualifies as a sale, the seller-lessee first allocates the gain between the ownership rights that were transferred to the buyer-lessor and the seller-lessee's right to use the asset for the period of the lease. The portion of the gain that relates to the ownership rights transferred to the buyer-lessor is recognized at time of the transaction. The portion of the gain that relates to the seller-lessee's right to use the asset for the lease term is recognized over the lease term. This is facilitated by reporting less depreciation expense than would have been reported had the sale and leaseback transaction not been entered into.

Answer: · 5 N, 6 I/Y, 160000 PMT, 0 FV, CPT PV = 673,978 · Lease income for the period arising from finance leases segregated into its component parts (e.g., any profit on sale of assets, finance income on the net investment in the lease, and variable lease payments not included in the net investment in the lease). · Lease payments to be received for each of the first five years and the total of the amounts to be received for the remaining years. These amounts are not adjusted for time value of money. · A reconciliation of the net investment in finance leases to the undiscounted lease payments to be received. Unearned finance income and any discounted unguaranteed residual values must be identified. · Determine the value of the ROU asset: ROU asset = (Present value of lease payments/Fair value of asset given up) × Net book value of asset given up. ROU asset = $673,978 / $1,000,000 × $800,000* = $539,182. (*Net book value = $1,200,000 cost − $400,000 accumulated depreciation = $800,000.) · Calculate the seller-lessee's remaining interest in the equipment: Seller-lessee's remaining interest = Present value of lease payments / Fair value of the asset. Seller-lessee's remaining interest = $673,978 / $1,000,000 = 67.3978%. · Determine the buyer-lessor's interest in the equipment: Buyer-lessor's interest = 100% − Seller-lessee's interest. Buyer-lessor's interest = 100% − 67.3978% = 32.6022%. · Compute the gain on sale relating to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor to be recognized by the seller-lessee: The buyer-lessor's interest × (Sales price — Net book value of asset). Gain on sale to be recognized upon initial recognition of the sales leaseback = 32.6022% × ($1,000,000 − $800,000*) = $65,204.

30) Why is the taxes payable method not an accepted approach under IFRS? What difference explains why ASPE permits this approach in addition to the accrual approach? Answer: IFRS does not allow the taxes payable method because it is neither consistent with accrual accounting generally nor with the IFRS Conceptual Framework. The taxes payable method is similar to cash basis accounting and does not reflect the effect of transactions when they occur. Not recording the effect of deferred taxes is inconsistent with the definition and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities. ASPE permits the taxes payable approach because of the different costs and benefits faced by private enterprises. This method is less costly, and the limited user base, being primarily owners and lenders, are more concerned about cash flows and can obtain information about deferred taxes should they need it. Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 18.1 Describe the conceptual differences among the three methods of accounting for income taxes, and apply the taxes payable method under ASPE. 31) Compare and contrast the two tax allocation methods. Answer: The two tax allocation methods are the deferral method and the accrual method. They are considered tax allocation methods because they allocate the tax effects to periods in which the enterprise recognizes the related financial reporting amounts (in contrast to the taxes payable method, which simply records the tax effect in the period the tax is payable). Both of these methods help account for temporary differences between accounting income and taxable income. The deferral method focuses on obtaining the income statement value for income tax expense that best matches the amount of income recognized for the year. In contrast, the accrual method focuses on obtaining the balance sheet value for the income tax liability (or asset) that best reflects the assets and liabilities recognized on the balance sheet.

Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 18.2 Analyze the effect of permanent and temporary differences on income tax expense and income tax liabilities under IFRS. 16) Why is it necessary to distinguish permanent differences from temporary differences? Answer: It is necessary to distinguish permanent differences from temporary differences because the latter will reverse while the former will not. Temporary differences reflect differences in timing of recognition in financial reporting standards versus tax laws (when something is taxed). Permanent differences reflect differences in the tax base (i.e., what is and is not taxed).

17) Why does the tax system appear to treat profits and losses asymmetrically? Answer: Currently, Canadian tax laws allow corporations to carry an operating loss backward for 3 years and forward for 20 years, and capital losses backward for 3 years and forward indefinitely. Carrying a loss back to offset taxable income in a prior year produces a tax refund. However, carrying a loss forward has no immediate cash flow benefits until the company earns income. When the business is profitable, the government is happy to receive its 30% share. However, the government is reluctant to contribute its 30% share for losses because it may not have reliable information on the source of that loss. Consequently, the government is only willing to provide refunds on taxes previously paid for losses carried back, but it is unwilling to pay for losses in the absence of prior profits. Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 18.2 Analyze the effect of permanent and temporary differences on income tax expense and income tax liabilities under IFRS. 18) Why does Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) usually exceed the amount of depreciation for tax purposes? Answer: Capital cost allowance (CCA) usually exceeds the amount of depreciation for accounting purposes due to governments' desire to encourage investment in capital assets. High capital cost allowance deductions decrease taxes payable in the early years of the asset resulting in a tax deferral.

The end-of-the-year balance corresponds to $162,500 of deductible temporary differences. During the year, the company recorded a $15,000 reversal into the deferred tax asset. The tax rate was 5% higher than the rate in the prior year. Required: Determine the following: a. The tax rate in the prior year. b. The amount of change in deductible temporary differences during the year. c. The opening balance of deductible temporary differences for the year. d. The effect of rate change on the deferred tax asset, if any. Answer: a. The current tax rate in effect: $65,000 / $162,500 = 40% Therefore, the prior year tax rate: 40% - 5% = 35% (b) b. The reversal recorded into the deferred tax asset during the year is a result of a temporary difference in the amount of: $15,000 / 40% = $37,500 c. The beginning balance of temporary differences is: $162,500 + $37,500 = $200,000 d.

10) Explain why a company should carry back losses and why a company might choose to carry losses forward instead. Answer: A company should carry back losses when they had prior years' taxable income because it will result in a definite and immediate cash inflow. If a company has taxable income in prior years, it should first carry any losses back until they are used up and then carry any remaining tax losses forward.

12) State whether or not discounting of deferred assets and liabilities is required or permitted and explain why or why not. Answer: IAS 12 states the following: "Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall not be discounted." Therefore, discounting is neither required nor permitted. The rationale for this requirement is based on considerations of costs and benefits as well as comparability among enterprises. It is surprising that the time value of money is not taken into consideration, given that we are dealing with amounts that can vary in timing for many years, such as temporary differences for depreciable assets and tax losses carried forward. However, detailed scheduling of the timing of the reversal of each temporary difference would be highly complex, time consuming and costly. To permit, but not require discounting would result in deferred tax assets and liabilities which would not be comparable between entities.

b. Given it is the company's first year of operations, it cannot carry any of the losses back to prior years. The tax savings that would result from applying the losses in future years could be recognized as an asset if it is more likely than not that the amount carried forward will be used within the next 20 years. I recommend that management not claim CCA in a loss year to decrease the chance that those deductions would be wasted if the losses were to expire in future years.

2) A large public company reported that its provision for income taxes was $500 million and that it has a deferred tax liability of 2 billion. A Member of Parliament calls you and says, "I see hundreds of companies who have these huge deferred tax liabilities on their balance sheets. If the government could get even half of what's owed, it could cut the public deficit down to size in a hurry." Required: Write a memo to the Member of Parliament explaining the issues. Answer: To: Member of Parliament From: Re: Provision for Income Taxes vs. Deferred Income Tax Liability The reporting of income taxes in financial reports is complex and can easily mislead those who are not keenly aware of the accounting standards and methods that apply to this area. Income tax expense on the financial statements does not directly correspond to the amount of taxes owing according to the Income Tax Act. Income taxes for financial reporting purposes are computed using the accrual accounting procedure, which tries to record income tax expense in the period in which the taxpayer records the associated revenues. In other words, financial reporting aims to record the tax expense in the period when the economic event occurs, while the amount of actual taxes depends on the tax laws. Differences occur for many reasons. One reason for the difference is the different methods used to depreciate capital assets for accounting purposes versus for tax purposes. The $2 billion does not represent any taxes that are owed and have not been paid. Rather, it is simply an estimated amount to be required to be paid in the future in accordance with tax regulations.

Diff: 1 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 19.1 Evaluate whether an accounting change is an error correction, a change in accounting policy, or a change in estimate. 12) What is the essential characteristic that distinguishes an error correction from a change in estimate? Answer: We can distinguish an error correction from a change in accounting estimate based on whether the relevant information triggering the change was known or should have been known previously. If so, then there exists an error requiring correction. If not, then the information merely updates the accounting estimates going forward. Diff: 1 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 19.1 Evaluate whether an accounting change is an error correction, a change in accounting policy, or a change in estimate. 13) The discussion in IAS 16 paragraphs 60-62 indicates that a change in depreciation method is usually a change in accounting estimate. Explain the logic behind why a change in depreciation method is normally considered a change in estimate. Answer: A change in depreciation pattern (e.g., from straight-line to declining-balance) is usually considered a change in estimate because the depreciation pattern is not a free choice among acceptable alternatives. IAS 16 requires enterprises to choose the pattern of depreciation that best reflects the pattern of economic benefits expected from the asset, so a change in depreciation method is presumed to reflect a change in the estimated pattern of benefits.

15) A company changes the depreciation for a piece of equipment from 20% declining- balance to unitsof-production. Describe a plausible circumstance that would support this change as one of the following: (i) an error, (ii) a change in estimate, or (iii) a change in accounting policy. Answer: (i) Error: The change in depreciation method could be an error if there existed information that suggested the equipment declines in usefulness in proportion to the number of units produced and that management should have used the information, but did not. (ii) Change in estimate: If there was not error in the past, then a change in depreciation policy should be made when, and only when, changing circumstances suggest that a different depreciation method would be more appropriate. Accounting changes reflecting new circumstances are considered changes in estimate. (iii) Change in accounting policy: If management initially chose the declining balance method because it was simpler to implement. Subsequently, it decided that it would switch to the unit-of-production method without being prompted by any new information regarding the equipment. In other words, this is a choice between equally valid alternatives.

13) How many balance sheets are required by IAS 1 when there is a change in accounting policy and why? Answer: When there is a change in accounting policy, IAS 1 requires the presentation of three balance sheets (i.e., for the end of the current fiscal year and the two preceding years) compared with the normal requirement of two balance sheets. The objective of the requirement to present the extra balance sheet is to allow users to follow the articulation of the financial statements for a full two-year cycle.

18) What types of accounting changes are treated retrospectively and why? Answer: Retrospective adjustment is the appropriate treatment for both corrections of errors and changes in accounting policy. For errors made in previously published financial statements, it is common sense that we should reflect the corrections in the period when those mistakes occurred rather than in the period when the mistakes were discovered. For changes in accounting policy, the benefit of adjusting prior periods using the retrospective approach is the consistency/comparability in the financial reports presented over time. If the retrospective approach were not used, then the financial statements for one year would be presented using one set of accounting policies, while the next year could be presented using quite a different set of policies, making inter-year comparisons difficult and possibly meaningless. Diff: 2 Type: ES Skill: Concept Objective: 19.2 Apply the prospective and retrospective treatments for accounting changes. 19) Give an example of a change in accounting policy which does not require retrospective treatment and explain why. Answer: One example of a change in accounting policy that does not require retrospective treatment is a change from the cost model to the revaluation model for PPE and intangible assets. IAS 8 paragraph 17 indicates that such a change in accounting policy should be "dealt with as a revaluation in accordance with IAS 16 or IAS 38," the respective standards for PPE and intangible assets. The effect of this exception is to treat the change in accounting policy as a first revaluation for the asset class (land, buildings, etc.). Presumably, IFRS provides for this exception as a matter of practicality. An enterprise that has been using the cost model for a class of assets is unlikely to have a history of fair values for those assets to be able to retrospectively apply the revaluation model. For PPE and intangible assets, that history could be decades long. Requiring retrospective adjustments in this instance would mean that practically no one would be able to switch from the cost model to the revaluation model. Note that the reverse switch, from the revaluation model to the cost model, does not have the same practical limitations. Enterprises do have the necessary cost information, even when they had been applying the revaluation model. Consequently, switching from the revaluation model to the cost model does need to follow the general requirement of retrospective adjustment.

Star Company has one huge machine that cost $6,000,000 and was depreciated over an estimated useful life of 10 years. Upon reviewing the manufacturer's reports in 2026, management now firmly believes the machine will last a total of 15 years from date of purchase. They would like to change last year's depreciation charge based on this analysis. The company's building (cost $5,000,000, estimated salvage value $0 useful life 20 years) was depreciated using the 10% declining-balance method. The company and auditor now agree that the straight-line method would be a more appropriate method to use. Star Company does not accrue for warranties; rather, it records the warranty expense when amounts are paid. Star provides a one-year warranty for defective goods. Payments to satisfy warranty claims in 2025 were $100,000 and $270,000 in 2026. Out of the $270,000 paid in 2026, $150,000 related to 2025 sales.

As the auditor on this engagement, what is your recommended treatment for each of these matters in terms of whether they are errors, changes in accounting policy, or changes in estimate? Explain your conclusion. b. Assume that management of Star Company agrees with your recommendations. How would the balances above be presented in the corrected income statements for 2025 and 2026?
23 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Canada Inc.
Answer: a. Machine Depreciation: This is a change in estimate of the useful life of the machine. This new information should be applied prospectively to the 2026 and subsequent depreciation charges. The depreciation expense for 2025 should remain and reduce the carrying value of the machine accordingly for 2026. The remaining useful life of the machine should be changed from 9 to 14 years (15 years total – 1 year elapsed) as at January 1, 2026. Building Depreciation: The new deprecation method should be treated prospectively as the new method is judged to be a more appropriate reflection of the consumption of benefits than the prior method. Warranties: This is an error as warranties should be accrued and matched with the revenue recognized in that period. The 2025 and 2026 income statements should reflect the warranty accrual and related change in expense. b. 2025 Income statement Corrected Depreciation expense - machine

6) Zyler Company is analyzing its accounts receivable for purposes of preparing its financial report for the year ended December 31, 2025. The company uses the aging method to estimate bad debts. During this analysis, Zyler discovered that staff had written off a $55,000 account in 2025 even though the company had received information about the bankruptcy of the client in late 2024. The company has already recorded bad debts expense for 2025, but the general ledger for the year has not yet been closed. The following table provides information relating to Zyler's accounts receivables just prior to the discovery of the $55,000 error:
Accounts receivable—gross Allowance for doubtful accounts Accounts receivable—net Bad debts expense
2024 $2,240,000 (123,000) $2,117,000 $255,000
2025 $2,460,000 (145,000) $2,315,000 $236,000
Required: Record any adjusting journal entries necessary to correct the error in Zyler's accounts receivable. Answer: To correct for an uncollectible account that should have been written off in DR CR 2025 Dec. 31 2024 but was written off in 2025. Dr. Retained earnings - opening balance 55,000 Cr. Bad debts expense 55,000 The $55,000 account should have been written off in 2024, so accounts receivable (A/R) and the allowance for doubtful accounts (ADA) were overstated by this amount. However, by the year-end of 2024, after the aging analysis, the appropriate balance in ADA would have been established, so the effect of the error is in the understatement of bad debts expense (BDE). Since the uncollectible account had been written off during 2025, the balance in A/R is correct at the end of 2025, so no correction should be made to the A/R account. However, the write-off in 2025 that should have been recorded in 2024 would have reduced ADA such that under the aging method, an additional $55,000 of BDE would have been recorded in 2025. Since BDE is closed to retained earnings, the understatement of BDE has overstated retained earnings at the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025. In summary, this is a timing error: the account should have been written off in 2024 but had been written off during 2025. Therefore, there is only a shift in income/expense between years, but the balance sheet accounts by the end of 2024 remain correct.

7) Anfield Corp. is analyzing its accounts receivable for purposes of preparing its second-quarter financial report for June 30, 2025. For interim reporting, the company uses the percentage-of-sales method to estimate bad debts. During this analysis, Anfield identified an account for $42,000 that should have been written off in the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, but was actually written off in May 2025. The following table provides information relating to Anfield accounts receivables after recording the provision for bad debts for the quarter but prior to the discovery of the $42,000 error:
Accounts receivable—gross Allowance for doubtful accounts Accounts receivable—net Bad debts expense
March 31, 2025 June 30, 2025 $2,480,000 $2,560,000 (183,000) (195,000) $2,297,000 $2,365,000 $245,000 $278,000
Required: Record any adjusting journal entries necessary to correct the error in Anfield's accounts receivable. Answer: 2025 Dec. 31 To correct for an uncollectible account that should have been written off in the first quarter but was written off in the second quarter of 2025. No entry required. Explanation: The $42,000 should have been written off in the first quarter (Q1), so accounts receivable (A/R) and allowance for doubtful accounts (ADA) were overstated by this amount. However, since the company estimates bad debts using the percentage-of-sales method, the missing write-off did not have an effect on income. The account was eventually written off in the second quarter (Q2), so the balance sheet is correct by June 30, 2025. In summary, no adjusting entry needs to be made.

8) Nadire Company has a December 31 year-end. The company uses the aging method to estimate bad debts at year-end. For interim reporting, the company uses the percentage-of-sales method because it is simpler. In March 2027, the company identified a $109,000 receivable from Woodscreen Inc. as uncollectible. Upon further consideration, staff concluded that the write-off should have occurred in the 2026 fiscal year because the information about the uncollectibility of the account was available at the time. The general ledger accounts for 2026 have already been closed. Required: a. Record the entry to write-off the uncollectible account. b.

For the services completed on March 31, 2026, Victory received a promissory note for $350,000 due and payable on March 31, 2027. Helman's paid the amount as scheduled. Victory staff recorded the full amount as revenue on March 31, 2026. It is now May 20, 2027. The accounting staff at Victory just realized that the note was improperly recorded, and that no interest income had been recognized. The controller believes that an interest rate of 10% would be appropriate.

11) CBC Biomedical undertook a research and development project in 2024. As of March 1 of that year, management concluded that the project had met the requirements for the capitalization of development costs. For the remainder of 2024 and 2025, the company capitalized $4.3 million of development costs for the project. Capitalizing these costs helped CBC Biomedical to remain profitable; had these costs been expensed, the company would report losses. In 2026, CBC Biomedical began amortizing the development cost over the estimated useful life of 10 years, beginning with a full year of amortization in 2026. In 2029, in preparation for an initial public offering (IPO), the company engaged a public accounting firm to conduct an external audit of its financial statements. The auditors concluded that the development cost did not meet the criteria for capitalization. Specifically, it is their opinion that CBC Biomedical, at the time, did not demonstrate that the company had sufficient financial resources to complete the development project due to the recurring operating losses incurred. After some heated debate, CBC Biomedical management agreed with the auditors' position in order to obtain an unqualified audit opinion. The company had not yet recorded any amortization for 2029 when it agreed to correct the error. The company's tax rate is 30%.

An invoice for $55,000 of material received and used in production arrived after the year-end. Neither the purchase nor the accounts payable was recorded until year two. However, the amount of raw materials in ending inventory was correct based on the inventory count. b. One of Canlan's products became obsolete and worthless during Year 1, but the inventory write-down did not occur until Year 2. The cost of this inventory was $225,000. c. In the Year 1 closing inventory count, employees improperly included 2,000 units of finished goods that had already been sold to customers. These units had a cost of $20,000 under FIFO.

Year 1 Inventory correct $225,000 overstated $20,000 overstated
a. Ending inventory is correct according to year-end count. Since purchase was not recorded, COGS = BI + P - EI is understated, so income is overstated in Year 1. Recording the purchase incorrectly in Year 2 overstated COGS and understated income in Year 2. b. Use the cost of goods sold equation: COGS = BI + P - EI. Ending inventory in Year 1 is overstated by $225,000, so COGS is understated and income overstated. Beginning inventory in Year 2 is overstated, so COGS is overstated and income understated in Year 2. The year 2 ending inventory will be correct as the write-down will have occurred by year-end. c. In year 1 the ending inventory is overstated so COGS is understated and income is overstated. In year 2 beginning inventory is overstated so COGS is overstated and income is understated.

16) Cantac Construction purchased a piece of equipment for $40 million in early 2025. The company depreciates the equipment using the straight-line method over its useful life of 20 years, when it will have zero residual value. Cantac's income tax rate is 40%. At the end of 2028, after four years of depreciation, the company wrote down the carrying amount of the equipment from $32 million to $24 million after performing an impairment test on the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the equipment belonged. As a result of the impairment, the annual depreciation declined from $2 million to $1.5 million. In 2028, prior to recording depreciation for that year, the company's staff discovered an error in one of the formulas in the spreadsheet used to compute the value in use for the impairment test carried out at the end of 2028. Removing the error in the spreadsheet, the value in use for the CGU exceeded its carrying value. Therefore, the CGU was in fact not impaired, and Cantac should not have recorded an impairment writedown on the demolition equipment at the end of 2028.

Answer: a. The inventory account included $900,000 too much cost. The $350,000 shipping to customer is not a factory cost and the commission on sales of $550,000 is not part of the production process, so they cannot be included in inventories. The corrected amount should be $15,098,000 - $900,000 = $14,198,000. b. To determine the ending value of inventory and cost of goods sold, first determine the per-unit cost of the boats manufactured in the year. Correcting for the error in part (a), total cost is $14,198,000. Production was 50,000 boats, so cost per boat is $14,198,000/50,000 = $283.96. Beginning inventory Cost of goods manufactured Cost of goods available for sale Ending inventory Cost of goods sold

c. If the error in inventory costing has not been corrected as per part (a), the inventory would be overstated by $72,000, computed as follows: Uncorrected cost per unit produced Uncorrected ending inventory Corrected inventory
$13,580,000 / 50,000 boats 4,000 boats × $301.96 From part (b)
$301.96/boat $1,207,840 -1,135,840 $72,000
In this particular scenario, this amount can also be computed more directly using the $900,000 of overstatement: $900,000 / 50,000 units of production = $18.00 /unit $18.00/unit × 4,000 units of ending inventory = $72,000 Note that this computation works in this case because the company used FIFO and the ending inventory costs all derive from production during the year. If the number of units in ending inventory exceeds the number of units in beginning inventory, then this computation would be incorrect. d. The correcting journal entry is as follows.

20) Wasson Company purchased land and a building in 2024 at a cost of $6,000,000. The land was valued at $1,000,000. At the time of purchase, the estimated useful life of the building was 25 years. The company depreciates the building on a straight-line basis and has chosen to record a full year of depreciation in the year of acquisition, and none in the year of disposal. It is now 2034, and Wasson has found it necessary to replace all of the windows in this building at a cost of $1,000,000. Upon further review, management concluded that the windows should have been recorded as a separate component because, as of 2024, their useful lives did not extend for 25 years—the manufacturer's specifications indicate that the windows would be expected to remain in functioning condition until 2034. The estimated value of the windows when the building was purchased was $800,000. Required: a. Record the journal entry to record the replacement of the windows assuming that the windows were recorded as a separate component. b.

21) Pracene Sports Supply is a relatively new producer of sporting goods. To enhance the competitiveness of its products, on July 1, 2026, the company introduced a warranty against defects for 12 months from the date of sale. The company's products are of a sufficiently high quality such that no warranty claims were received in 2026. However, in February 2028, when the auditors examined the records for the year ended December 31, 2027, they noted a small number of warranty claims in 2027 amounting to $243,000, which was recorded as miscellaneous expense. These claims alerted the auditors to the fact that the company should have but did not accrue for the expected warranty costs starting in 2026. Pracene's management estimates warranty fulfillment costs to be 0.10% of revenue. The company recorded revenue of $51,500,000 in 2026 and $55,300,000 in 2027. There is very little seasonality in the sales pattern through the year. The company's tax rate is 40%. The general ledger for 2027 has not yet been closed.

22) Arbutus Inc. issued a 10-year bond on July 1, 2024. The $30,000,000 par bond pays $900,000 of interest on December 31 and June 30. The company has a calendar year-end. It is now February 2028. During the audit of the 2027 financial statements, it was discovered that the bond indenture allowed holders to convert the bonds to common shares. The terms of the conversion allow each $1,000 bond to be converted into 50 shares. Additional investigation concluded that the bond would have yielded 8%/a, had it not included the conversion option. Required: Record any adjusting journal entries required to correct Arbutus's accounts. The books for 2027 have not yet been closed.

23) Sampson Jet Skis manufactures state-of-the-art jet skis. In 2026, the company's accountant recorded the following costs into the inventory account: Variable costs (raw materials, labour, variable overhead) Fixed manufacturing overhead Salary of factory manager Salary of company president Advertising and promotion Total
$10,680,000 2,000,000 100,000 300,000 1,000,000 $14,080,000
The company had no work in process at the end of both 2025 and 2026. Finished goods at the end of 2025 amounted to 8,000 jet skis at $900/jet ski. Production was 13,453 jet skis and 4,000 jet skis remained in inventory at December 31, 2026. The company uses a periodic inventory system and the FIFO cost flow assumption. Required: a. Of the $14,080,000, how much should have been capitalized into inventories? b. Compute the ending value of inventory and the cost of goods sold for 2026. c. If the error in inventory costing had not been corrected as per part (a), by how much would inventory be overstated at the end of 2026? d. Record the journal entry to correct the error in inventory costing. e. If the company uses the weighted-average cost method, how much would be the ending value of inventory and cost of goods sold for 2026?

Answer: a. The inventory account included $1,300,000 too much cost. The $300,000 salary of the company president and the $1,000,000 cost of advertising and promotion are not part of the production process, so they cannot be included in inventories. The corrected amount should be $14,080,000 - $1,300,000 = $12,780,000. b. To determine the ending value of inventory and cost of goods sold, first determine the per-unit cost of the jet skis manufactured in the year. Correcting for the error in part (a), total cost is $12,780,000. Production was 13,453 jet skis, so cost per jet ski is $12,780,000 / 13,453 = $949.97. Beginning inventory 8,000 jet skis × $900/jet ski Cost of goods manufactured Cost of goods available for sale Ending inventory 4,000 jet skis × $949.97/jet ski Cost of goods sold
$7,200,000 12,780,000 $19,980,000 - 3,799,880 $16,180,120
c. If the error in inventory costing has not been corrected as per part (a), the inventory would be overstated by $386,560, computed as follows: Uncorrected cost per unit produced $14,080,000 / 13,453 jet skis Uncorrected ending inventory 4,000 jet skis × $1046.61 Corrected inventory From part (b)
$1046.61/jet ski $4,186,440 - 3,799,880 $386,560

e. If the company had used the weighted-average cost method, the ending inventory and COGS would be as follows: Cost of goods available for sale (from part a) $19,980,000 Units available for sale 21,453 jet skis Weighted-average cost per unit 931.34/jet ski Ending inventory 4,000 jet skis × $931.34/jet ski $3,725,360 Cost of goods sold $19,980,000 - $3,725,360 $16,254,640 Diff: 3 Type: ES Skill: Comp Objective: 19.3 Evaluate the effects of retrospective adjustments and record those effects in the accounting records. 45 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Canada Inc.
24) Catherwood Inc. purchased a piece of real estate in early 2024. The staff accountant allocated the $5,000,000 purchase price as follows: 30% to land, 50% to building, and 20% to fixtures. Catherwood recorded straight-line depreciation based on useful lives of 20 years and 5 years on the building and fixtures, respectively. No residual value was assigned to either depreciable asset. The company has a policy of recording a full year of depreciation in the year of acquisition, and none in the year of disposal. In 2028 a Catherwood staff in the accounting department discovered that the bundled purchase actually cost $6,000,000 and the extra $1,000,000 was debited to land, while the remaining $5,000,000 was allocated 30% to land, 50% to building, and 20% to fixtures. The accounting staff believe that the allocation of 30% to land, 50% to building, and 20% to fixtures still applies. Required: Record any adjusting entries required to correct the accounts in 2028 and provide supporting calculations. Answer: Original entries: Building $5,000,000 50% 2,500,000 20 years 125,000/year 4 years $500,000
Bundle purchase cost × % allocated to item = Allocated purchase cost × Estimated useful life = Annual depreciation × # of years since purchase = Accumulated depreciation

27) Allied Fittings reports its financial results in accordance with ASPE. On January 1, 2026, Allied Fittings signed a long-term rental agreement with KM Properties for the exclusive right to use a building for a period of 10 years at a rental rate of $2.5 million per year paid at the beginning of each year. The building has fair market value of $40 million, a 20-year life, and the agreement includes an option for Allied to purchase the property for $20 million at the end of the lease, when the property would be expected to increase in value to $50 million. Allied's accounting staff recorded the lease as an operating lease. In 2028, management realized that the lease should have been recorded as a capital lease due to the bargain purchase option. Allied has a calendar year-end. The books for 2028 have not been closed. The company has an incremental borrowing rate of 6% and depreciates similar property on a straight-line basis with full depreciation taken in the first year. Required: a.

29) Stretton Company Limited, a private company, was started on January 1, 2026. For the first year, the chief accountant prepared the financial statements and a local accountant completed the necessary review of these statements. However, for the year ended December 31, 2027, an external auditor was appointed. The income statement for 2026 and the preliminary amounts for 2027 are as follows:

In the process of examining the accounting records the auditor noted the following issues: Franchise Revenue: The Stretton Company signed a franchise agreement to allow a franchisee to operate in a specific area for 10 years. The agreement required the franchisee to pay $4,000,000 initially with a royalty of 2% of sales revenue thereafter. In 2026, the 2% of sales revenue was recorded correctly by Stretton Company. However, management recorded the entire $4,000,000 as having been earned in 2026. In 2027, management realized that 40% of the $4,000,000 pertained to ongoing services to be provided over the next 10 years. Accounts receivable: The Stretton Company uses the aging method to estimate bad debts. During 2027, it was discovered that staff had written off a $103,000 account in 2027, even though the company had received information about the bankruptcy of the client in late 2026. Machine impairment: Stretton Company has one machine that cost $5,000,000 with a useful life of 10 years and has been depreciated on a straight-line basis for 4 years, including 2027. Stretton carries this asset under the revaluation model and its auditors find that the machine should have been written down for impairments by $450,000 in 2026. No impairment has been recorded by Stretton in 2026 or 2027. Building depreciation: The company's building (cost $4,000,000, estimated salvage value $0, useful life 20 years) was depreciated last year using the straight line method. The company and the auditor now agree that 10% declining-balance method would be a more appropriate method to use. A depreciation provision of $200,000 has been made for 2026.
57 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Canada Inc.
Inventories: The accountant failed to apply the lower of cost and net realizable value test to ending inventory in 2026. Upon review, the inventory balance for 2027 should have been reduced by $200,000. The closing inventory allowance balance for 2027 should be $400,000. No entry has been made for this matter. Warranties: Stretton Company does not accrue for warranties; rather, it records the warranty expense when amounts are paid. Stretton provides a one-year warranty for defective goods. Payments to satisfy warranty claims in 2026 were $400,000 and $420,000 in 2027. Out of the $420,000 paid in 2027, $250,000 related to 2026 sales. A reasonable estimate of warranties payable at the end of 2027 is $375,000. There is nothing relating to 2026 warranty claims left owing at the end of 2027. Required: a. As the audit senior on this engagement, what is your recommended treatment for each of these matters in terms of whether they are errors, changes in accounting policy, or changes in estimate? Explain your conclusion. b. Assume that management of Stretton Company agrees with your recommendations. Prepare the corrected statements of comprehensive income for 2026 and 2027.

Answer: a. Each of the six issues should be addressed as follows: i.
Franchise Revenue: This is an error, so it should be retrospectively applied.
ii. Accounts Receivable: This is an error, and a retrospective treatment is required. In 2027, the entry would be 2027 Dec. 31
To correct for an uncollectible account that should have been written off in 2026 but was written off in 2027. Dr. Retained earnings - opening balance 103,000 Cr. Bad debts expense 103,000
iii. Machine Impairment: This is an error, and 2026 needs to be adjusted. The adjustment in the carrying value of the machine lowers the remaining depreciable amount requiring prospective adjustments to future depreciation charges. iv. Building Depreciation: The new depreciation method is a change in estimate and should be treated prospectively. A change in depreciation pattern from declining-balance to straight line is usually considered as a change in estimate because the depreciation pattern is not a free choice among acceptable alternatives. v. Inventories: This is an error correction as lower of cost and net realizable value should have been used in 2026. The 2026 income statement should be adjusted accordingly. The 2027 inventory should be valued using this allowance. vi. Warranties: This is an error, as warranties should be accrued and matched with the revenue recognized in that period. The 2026 and 2027 income statements should reflect the warranty accrual and related change in expense.

(1) Franchise revenue was overstated by $1,600,000 ($4,000,000 × .4) in 2026 since the franchise services are deferred revenue and are to be provided over the next 10 years. The $1,600,000 is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the next 10 years, including 2026. Therefore, revenue for 2026 is ($4,000,000 $1,600,000) + (1,600,000/10) = $2,560,000. In 2027, one-tenth of the service revenue of $160,000 ($1,600,000/10) needs to be recognized. (2) Impairment loss of $450,000 is recorded at the end of 2027 after depreciation has been recorded for 2026. Accumulated depreciation is $1,500,000 ($500,000 × 3) + $450,000 at the end of 2026. The impairment loss increases the accumulated depreciation by $450,000 at the end of 2026. The 2027 depreciation was $500,000. The corrected amount is ($5,000,000 - $1,500,000 - $450,000)/7 years = $435,714. (3) To correct an error by writing off the bad debt in 2026 and reversing the write off incorrectly recorded in 2027. (4) Building depreciation: The company's building (cost $4,000,000, estimated salvage value $0, useful life 20 years) was depreciated last year using the straight-line method. The company and the auditor now agree that declining balance method would be a more appropriate method to use. A depreciation provision of $200,000 has been made for 2026. The remaining balance of $3,800,000 × .10 = $380,000 should be recorded in 2027. (5) To retrospectively adjust write-down inventory in 2026, 2027 needs no adjustment. (6) 2027 warranty expense accrual: $420,000 - $250,000 + $375,000 = $545,000. 2026 warranty expense accrual: $400,000 + $250,000 = $650,000.

14) Explain how the following transactions should be reported in the statement of cash flows, assuming the indirect method is used to determine cash flows from operating activities. Identify all available options. If not reported on the statement of cash flows, indicate the disclosure requirements, if any. 1. The purchase of a $100,000, 45-day Treasury bill classified at FVPL. 2. Amortization of the discount on bonds payable in the amount of $20,000. Answer: 1. The $100,000 would be reported as a cash outflow in the operating activities section if the investment were held for trading purposes and as a cash outflow in the investing activities section if the investment were not held for trading purposes. Alternatively, if the Treasury bill was held to meet short-term cash commitments, it would be designated as a cash equivalent, in which case it would form part of the change in cash and cash equivalents to be explained. 2. The $20,000 is a non-cash expense. It is deducted from interest expense to determine interest paid. (Further adjustments may be required for changes in interest payable and the like.) Interest expense can be reported as either a cash outflow from operating activities or a cash outflow from financing.

Identify all available options. If not reported on the statement of cash flows, indicate the disclosure requirements, if any. 1. Income tax expense of $30,000. The income tax payable account increased $7,000, while the deferred income tax liability account decreased $9,000. 2. Cash dividend of $40,000 declared.

The $32,000 net cash paid for taxes is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities ($30,000 income tax expense + $9,000 decrease in deferred income taxes payable account - $7,000 decrease in income taxes payable account = $32,000). 2. The net cash outflow of $15,000 ($40,000 declared - $25,000 increase in the dividends payable account) is reported as either a cash outflow from operating activities or a cash outflow from financing.

16) Explain the options for recording interest and dividends received and interest and dividends paid on the cash flow statement according to IAS 7. Answer: An enterprise may classify the receipt of interest and dividends received as either an operating or an investing activity. The ambiguity here arises because it is not clear-cut whether this type of income is part of an enterprise's normal operations or part of its investments. An enterprise may choose to report the payment of interest and dividends as either an operating or a financing activity. The ambiguity occurs because, even though interest and dividend payments both arise from financing activities (issuance of debt and equity), interest is recorded through income, while dividends are not. Regardless of the choice for this accounting policy, the enterprise must apply it consistently to all similar transactions.

Answer: 1. The $200,000 would be reported as a cash outflow in the operating activities section if the investment is held for trading purposes; as a cash flow from investing activities if held for other than trading purposes. Alternatively, if the Treasury bill is held to meet short-term cash commitments, it is a cash equivalent, in which case it would form part of the change in cash and cash equivalents to be explained. 2. The $32,000 is a non-cash expense. It is deducted from interest expense to determine interest paid. (Further adjustments may be required for changes in interest payable and the like.) Interest expense can be reported as either a cash outflow from operating activities or a cash outflow from financing. 3. The $10,000 is a non-cash expense and will be added back to net income as an adjusting entry in the cash flow from operating activities section. From a practical perspective, this function is accomplished by adjusting net income by the increase or decrease in net accounts receivable. 4. The $43,000 net cash paid for taxes is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities ($40,000 income tax expense + $8,000 decrease in deferred income taxes payable account - $5,000 decrease in income taxes payable account = $43,000). 5. The acquisition of the right to use equipment under a lease agreement is a non-cash expense. If material, the transaction should be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. 6. The distribution of stock dividends is a non-cash activity and is not reported on the statement of cash flows. The transaction would normally be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements because changes in equity must be explained. 7. The net cash outflow of $15,000 ($30,000 declared - $15,000 increase in the dividends payable account) is reported as either a cash outflow from operating activities or a cash outflow from financing. 8. SAI can either: i) use the $200,000 comprehensive income as the starting point to determine cash flows from operating activities and then deduct the $50,000 other comprehensive income to arrive at $150,000 net income as an interim point; or ii) simply use the $150,000 net income as a starting point. Other comprehensive income does not involve cash flows and companies are not required to report it on the statement of cash flows. 9.

In practice, which method of preparation is used for the statement of cash flows and why? c. Is the indirect method of presenting the statement of cash flows required by the IASB? d. Briefly discuss how unrealized gains and losses arising from an investments at FVPL that are held for trading purposes are reported on the statement of cash flows. Answer: a. The difference between the direct and indirect methods relates to the composition of the information explaining "Net cash from (used in) operating activities." The total cash reported will be the same under the two formats. Moreover, "Net cash from (used in) investing activities" and "Net cash from (used in) financing activities" is identical under both approaches. b. The vast majority of companies use the indirect method to present the statement of cash flows. Probable motives include those of comparability and ease of preparation. c. The IASB does not prescribe the use of the direct or indirect method; it encourages the use of the direct method of presenting the statement of cash flows with the governing standards, reading in part "Entities are encouraged to report cash flows from operating activities using the direct method." The IASB is currently considering requiring all entities to report cash flows from operating activities using the direct method. d. Unrealized gains and losses on investments at FVPL that are held for trading purposes are recorded in the income statement. When the indirect method of presentation is used, the unrealized profit or loss must be reversed in the cash flow from operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. Gains and losses are not reported on the statement of cash flows prepared using the direct method as gains and losses do not give rise to cash flows.

A company may report its accounts receivable at the gross amount less an allowance for bad debts. Contrast the direct and indirect methods of adjusting for accounts receivable reported at the gross amount. c. Briefly discuss how cash flows arising from the purchase and sale of treasury shares are reported on the statement of cash flows. d. Briefly discuss how other comprehensive income is reported on the statement of cash flows. e. Briefly discuss how cash flows arising from investments in associates are reported on the statement of cash flows. f. Briefly discuss the alternatives for reporting discontinued operations in the statement of cash flows. Answer: a. The three primary sources of information required to prepare a statement of cash flows are the company's comparative balance sheet, its income statement for the period, and select transaction data. b. The indirect method ignores the component parts and reports the change in the net receivables as an adjustment to net income in the cash flow from operating activities section. The direct method of presentation deals with the two elements separately. Cash from sales is adjusted for the change in the gross amount of the receivables and the operating component of the cash paid to suppliers and employees is adjusted for the change in the allowance account. c. Cash flows from the purchase and sale of treasury shares are reported as a financing activity. d. Other comprehensive income (OCI) is not normally reported on the statement of cash flows as OCI does not affect cash since it records only unrealized gains and losses on select items. The exception to this is that under the indirect method companies can use comprehensive income as a starting point, with the components of other comprehensive income being recorded as reversing items in the cash flows arising from operating activities section. e. Investments in associates are typically accounted for using the equity method. The statement of cash flows is concerned only with the cash received or advanced, rather than investment income. The required adjustment for the indirect method of presentation entails deducting income from investments in the operating section and recording dividends received in either the operating or investing section. f. Cash flows from discontinued operating activities are shown separately in the operating, investing, and financing activities of the statement of cash flows according to their nature.

c. The net cash from operating activities is the same under both methods. The indirect method starts with net income and then systematically adjusts the company's accrual-based financial statements to cashbased statements. For example, depreciation expense is added back to net income as it is a non-cash expense. In contrast, the direct method specifically identifies cash inflows and outflows from identified activities, for example sales. Statements prepared using the direct method provide more useful information as the reader can clearly see how much cash was generated from sales; how much cash was paid to suppliers; how much cash was paid to meet operating expenses; and so on. Diff: 3 Type: ES Skill: Comp Objective: 20.4 Describe the difference between the direct and indirect methods of calculating cash flows from operating activities.
Learning Objective 5 Prepare a statement of cash flows using both the direct and indirect methods. 1) Which statement is true? A) Stock splits and dividends are non-cash transactions. They are not recorded on the SCF. B) Cash flows from the purchase and sale of treasury shares are reported as an investing activity. C) OCI is normally reported in the financing section of the SCF. D) Cash flows from discontinued operations would never be reported in the investing section of the SCF regardless of their nature. Answer: A Diff: 2 Type: MC Skill: Concept Objective: 20.5 Prepare a statement of cash flows using both the direct and indirect methods. 2) Which statement is correct? A) Cash flows are grouped by operating, investing and financing activities. B) Cash inflows and outflows are netted against each other. C) Net interest received or paid can be offset in the cash flow statement. D) Income tax paid does not need to be disclosed. Answer: A Diff: 1 Type: MC Skill: Concept Objective: 20.5 Prepare a statement of cash flows using both the direct and indirect methods. 3) How do companies account for allowance for doubtful accounts on the cash flow statement? Answer: Companies often report receivables at the gross amount less an allowance. To obtain the amount of operating cash flow, the indirect method simply adjusts for the change in the net receivables. For the direct method of presentation, the two elements are dealt with separately. Cash receipts from customers = sales - increase in gross accounts receivables - write offs, or alternatively, cash receipts from customers = sales -change in net receivables - bad debt expense. Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 20.5 Prepare a statement of cash flows using both the direct and indirect methods.

4) How are cash flows from discontinued operations shown in the statement of cash flows? Answer: Cash flows from discontinued operations are shown separately in the operating, investing, and financing sections of the Statement of Cash Flows according to their nature. Alternatively, as per paragraph 33(c) of IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, this information may be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Diff: 2 Type: SA Skill: Concept Objective: 20.5 Prepare a statement of cash flows using both the direct and indirect methods. 5) How is other comprehensive income (OCI) shown on the statement of cash flows (SCF)? Answer: OCI is not normally reported on the SCF. OCI does not affect cash since it records only unrealized gains and losses on select items. If companies use comprehensive income as a starting point in the indirect method, the components of other comprehensive income are shown as reversing items in the cash flows arising from operating activities.

1. Income and income taxes pertaining to discontinued operations must be separately disclosed. 2. Non-cash transactions relating to financing and investing activities must be disclosed. 3. $234,400 depreciation (PPE) + $74,000 amortization (patent) = $308,400. Depreciation is reported on the income statement, while amortization is determined using a T-account (see #8 below). 74 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Canada Inc.
4. Loss on sale = Sales proceeds − Net book value = $422,000 − ($670,000 − $171,000) = $77,000. The accumulated depreciation on the PPE sold is determined using a T-account (see #9 below). 5. Interest paid = Interest expense + Amortization of the bond premium = $80,000 + $4,500 = $84,500. Amortization of the bond premium is the change in the bonds payable balance from the comparative balance sheet. 6.
