26) How does accounting help in the capital allocation process? Answer: Financial accounting provides information that enables users to evaluate economic entities and make efficient resource allocation decisions based on the risks and returns of a particular investment. This process directs capital flows to their most productive uses.

To provide unreliable and irrelevant information leads to poor capital allocation which adversely affects the securities market. An inefficient and wasteful allocation would reward poorly run entities until they ultimately flounder or go bust. Diff: 2 Objective: 1.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Reflective thinking

27) In what ways does accounting information proactively interact with its environment?

27) Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: "Financial statements that are free from error are accurate." Explain your answer. Answer: A financial statement that is free from error is not the same thing as an accurate statement. The nature of accrual accounting is one that relies on estimates; therefore, when saying information reported is free from error, it is really referring to the process used to generate the financial statements being error-free. The amounts reported may be different than the actual amounts because they rely on estimates. Diff: 2 Objective: 2.3 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Analytical thinking

28) What is the cost constraint and how does it affect financial reporting? Answer: The conceptual framework stipulates that standard setters should compare the cost of requiring information to the benefits derived from presenting this information when developing accounting standards. The FASB and the IASB must determine that the costs of implementing a standard will not exceed the benefits that might be derived from it. Standard setters consider costs for both financial statement reporters and users. To be reported, accounting information not only must be relevant and faithfully represented but it also must pass an economic test by satisfying the cost constraint.

29) Caesar & Company is planning a major expansion, and is in negotiations with their bank for a loan. The bank requested that Caesar & Co provide them with financial statements as soon as possible after the end of the year. Caesar & Co has several suppliers that are slow to submit invoices, so they are considering making estimates for the amounts associated with those liabilities in order to expedite the preparation of the financial statements for the bank. Discuss the qualitative characteristics that they need to consider. Answer: This will be a trade-off between faithful representation and timeliness. By estimating the amounts for the liabilities, the statements will be less faithfully representative — because the associated invoices will not be available. To be faithfully representative, information must be complete, neutral and free from error. Estimates of the liabilities may not be free of error. However, this will allow them to prepare the statements quickly — and timeliness stipulates that financial information is available to users early enough to assist with decision making.

51) Identify the three main approaches to expense recognition under U.S. GAAP and provide examples of each. How does IFRS expense recognition principles differ? Answer: Under U.S. GAAP, the three main approaches are to match the expense with the related revenue, to expense it in the period incurred, or to systematically allocate the expense over periods of use. An example of matching the expense to the revenue would be matching the cost of goods sold expense to the related revenue recognized when the inventory is sold. Expensing in the period incurred would be recording supplies expense during the period that they were consumed. Depreciating a piece of equipment over its useful life is an example of systematic allocation. Under current IFRS conceptual framework, firms recognized expenses in the income statement at the same time as the initial recognition or increase of a liability or the derecognition or decrease in an asset. IFRS does not use the matching approach for expense recognition. Diff: 2 Objective: 2.5 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Analytical thinking

63) Perfect Tournaments Inc. (PTI), a sports venue in Atlanta, Georgia that has gross sales of over $30 million a year, has added a check box to the registration form that allows it to retain sports statistics from all the games and as a result of the performance of all participants (players) who compete in its amateur tournaments. The rights do not cost the company anything; however, there is some debate as to whether acquiring and retaining this information offers value to PTI. The controller has asked for the advice of experts and believes that the current database of statistics would have a market value of no more than $1,000. There is speculation that at some point in the future, such statistical information may have some significant value but that is not currently the case. As a result, the controller has decided not to disclose the value of the information rights on the balance sheet or in the notes to the financial statements. Explain what may have guided his decision. Answer: Even those a case might be made that the information rights are something of value, the value is difficult to measure, it is not significant and its omission would most likely have no influence on the decision made by users of the financial statements.

21) Explain how an accountant would use assumptions and estimates when accounting for property, plant, and equipment. Answer: Accountants use assumptions about the pattern of use of PP&E when determining what depreciation method to use. Will the asset be used uniformly over time, or will it be used more heavily in the beginning? In addition, they must make estimates about the useful life of the asset and residual value. As a result, the net amount reported for PP&E is based on the estimated amount of depreciation. Diff: 1 Objective: 3.2 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

23) Briefly explain how IFRS disclosures about accounting-related issues differ from U.S. GAAP disclosures. Answer: IFRS further requires that companies disclose additional information about the assumptions and estimates it made at the end of the reporting period. IFRS also requires that companies disclose the judgments (apart from those involving estimates and assumptions) that management has made in determining appropriate accounting treatments for amounts reported on the financial statements. For example, companies will make judgments as to whether potential obligations are probable and thus should be reported as liabilities. IFRS requires information disclosed about the judgments made in this situation. Diff: 1 Objective: 3.2 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

24) Give two examples of when accountants use estimates to derive the reported values of assets and briefly explain how those estimates are derived. Answer: There can be several correct answers. Here are two such answers. The value reported for property, plant, and equipment is net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based upon estimates of the life and pattern of use of the depreciable assets. Accountants estimate the residual value, and useful life and choose one of several acceptable methods to derive annual depreciation. The net book value of the reported PPE is its cost less accumulated depreciation. The actual residual value and useful life might actually be different from the initial estimates. Accounts receivable are reported on the balance sheet net of an allowance for those receivables that are not likely to be collected. The doubtful (uncollectible) accounts amount — in other words, the allowance amount is an estimate based on a number of assumptions.

14) How does the fact that accounting standards allow managers to exercise their professional judgment when making accounting policy decisions constitute a limitation of the income statement? Answer: In general, allowing managers to use judgment when making accounting policy choices that best reflect the economic reality of a transaction will enhance the usefulness of the financial statements. However, due to significant subjectivity and estimation uncertainties involved in financial reporting, management can bias their judgments to enhance the entity's financial performance by manipulating revenues, gains, expenses, and losses. Even if management is not intentionally biasing reported earnings, different judgments will lead to different income numbers, resulting in reduced comparability. The measurement of income is dependent upon the accounting methods selected. For example, identical companies that purchase the same asset but depreciate that asset using different depreciation methods will report a different net income, resulting in reduced comparability.

17) Identify and describe the two primary factors that impact earnings quality. Answer: The two factors that impact earnings quality are: (1) the nature of earnings and (2) management discretion allowed by the accounting standards. 1. Earnings quality is dependent upon whether the components of earnings presented are permanent or transitory in nature. 2. Management will sometimes engage in earnings management by using the discretion afforded under the accounting standards to manipulate earnings to meet desired goals. Diff: 1 Objective: 5.2 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

18) What are the most common approaches management uses to manipulate earnings? Answer: A summary of the approaches management uses to manipulate earnings shows that the most common approach is through the manipulation of expenses and losses followed by the manipulation of revenues and by opportunities around business combinations. Diff: 1 Objective: 5.2 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

19) In what ways is management motivated to engage in earnings management? Answer: Management is motivated to manage earnings to: 1. Beat benchmarks such as prior-quarter earnings or earnings from the same quarter of a prior year. 2. Avoid reporting a loss. 3. Present a firm's earnings as a smooth, upward trend. 4. Increase their own compensation when bonus plans are based on the net income or stock price of the firm. Diff: 1 Objective: 5.2 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

20) Compare and contrast two earnings management techniques. Answer: When low earnings are expected, management may decide that, because everyone is expecting low earnings or perhaps even a loss, they might as well show lower earnings now in the current period. This big bath earnings management technique involves increasing a current period loss to allow the firm to show increased net income in a future period. When earnings are higher than expected in the current period, managers may elect to reduce those earnings to create cookie jar reserves which are then used in future periods to increase earnings as needed so as to exceed analysts' forecasts and market expectations.

14) What items are included in a company's results from discontinued operations? For this purpose, how is a component defined? Answer: Companies report three main types of income, gain or loss under discontinued operations on the income statement: 1. Income or loss from operations of discontinued segment, unit or group, net of tax. 2. Gain or loss on remeasurement of net assets held for sale to fair value less disposal costs, net of tax. 3. Gain or loss on disposal of assets or disposal group(s) constituting the discontinued operation, net of tax. A component of an entity has three main characteristics: It is (1) a portion of the entity (2) comprising operations and cash flows (3) that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. A company must be able to separate the discontinued component's operations and cash flows from the continuing operations' earnings and cash flows. It should also be able to separately report discontinued operations in its financial statements. Diff: 2 Objective: 5.6 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

15) Why are the results from discontinued operations separated from the results from continuing operations on an income statement? Answer: A company must be able to separate the discontinued component's operations and cash flows from the continuing operations' earnings and cash flows. It should also be able to separately report discontinued operations in its financial statements. The purpose of the separation is to segregate the continuing predictable cash flows from the transitory cash flows that are not likely to have any impact on the future cash flows of the company. The discontinued operations represent transitory cash flows. Diff: 2 Objective: 5.6 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

8) What is a noncontrolling interest and what does it represent in the income statement? Answer: There is a noncontrolling interest when one company controls another company (e.g., a subsidiary), but owns less than 100% of its voting shares. The controlling company adds all of the subsidiary's income to its own, because it controls the subsidiary's ability to generate income. However, because it does not own 100% of the subsidiary, the controlling company must identify the amount of the income that is attributable to noncontrolling owners. The noncontrolling interest line item on the income statement represents the income attributable to the portion of a subsidiary owned by others, the noncontrolling owners. The portion of income (loss) attributed to the noncontrolling interest is deducted (added) on the income statement to arrive at income attributed to the controlling interest.

A) $32,400 B) $48,000 C) $44,400 D) $53,400 Answer: B Explanation: The loss on discontinued operations would already be accounted for in the net income as well as the unrealized gain on the trading security. However, the foreign currency translation gain would be included in other comprehensive income, net of income taxes (which would be $15,000 × .4 = $6000). Therefore, comprehensive income would be the net income of $39,000 plus $9000 as the after-tax gain from foreign currency translation ($15,000 - $6000) which equals comprehensive income of $48,000.

17) What two alternatives does a company have for reporting its comprehensive income under U.S. GAAP and IFRS? Answer: Companies may choose to report comprehensive income in one statement (usually called the statement of comprehensive income) or in two consecutive statements (the statement of net income and the statement of comprehensive income). Companies presenting in TWO statements are required to include the statement of comprehensive income immediately after the statement of net income (i.e., on the next page of the financial report). The statement of comprehensive income begins with net income and then presents the components of other comprehensive income, ultimately arriving at a figure for comprehensive income. Firms presenting ONE statement of comprehensive income combine the statement of net income with a presentation of OCI. Diff: 2 Objective: 5.8 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

18) Currently, under U.S. GAAP, what are the three items of other comprehensive income? Why should these items not flow through net income? Answer: The key line items consist of: 1. Unrealized gains and losses from the available-for-sale portfolio of debt investment securities and derivatives classified as cash flow hedges. 2. Foreign currency translation gains and losses. 3. Unrecognized pension costs (benefits) from adjustments needed to bring the accounting pension asset or liability to the funded status of the pension plan. The items reported as other comprehensive income typically have at least one of these three characteristics: 1. There is a low probability of cash realization in the short run. 2. These items are transitory components of income; excluding them from the income statement reduces earnings volatility. 3. The majority of these items are not part of the entity's normal operations.

23) After grouping assets as current and noncurrent what further classifications within those categories are made when compiling a balance sheet? Assume U.S. GAAP. Answer: Companies make further classifications. Specifically, within current and noncurrent assets, companies list each asset in decreasing order of liquidity. Current assets precede noncurrent assets. The most liquid asset is first, followed by less liquid assets. In the current assets section, cash, the most liquid asset, is usually listed first, followed by short-term investments, receivables, merchandise inventories, and then prepaid expenses. In the noncurrent assets, long-term investments are listed, followed by property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other assets. Within property, plant, and equipment, land is listed first, followed by buildings, equipment, furniture, and fixtures. Diff: 2 Objective: 6.3 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

24) List and describe the two balance sheet formats. Answer: The two formats are the account and report formats. The account format lists assets on the left side and liabilities and stockholders' equity on the right side of the statement. The report format lists liabilities and stockholders' equity directly below assets on the same page. Diff: 2 Objective: 6.3 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

25) Compare and contrast the presentation of assets under U.S. GAAP versus IFRS reporting. Answer: Under U.S. GAAP, after grouping assets as current and noncurrent, further classifications within those categories are made when compiling a balance sheet. Specifically, within current and noncurrent assets, companies list each asset in decreasing order of liquidity. Current assets precede noncurrent assets. The most liquid asset is first, followed by less liquid assets. Cash, the most liquid asset, is usually listed first, followed by short-term investments, receivables, and then other less liquid assets. With IFRS-reporting, companies can present either current assets or noncurrent assets first. IFRS permits asset presentation in either a decreasing or an increasing order of liquidity. When using an increasing order of liquidity, the least-liquid assets are typically presented first within each balance sheet section.

28) Explain the difference between the direct and indirect methods of preparing the operating section of the statement of cash flows. Which method is preferred by GAAP? Answer: When the indirect method of preparing the operating section of the statement of cash flows is used, net income is the starting point. Non-cash expenses such as depreciation expense and nonoperating items, such as losses on sales of assets are added back to net income, because they do not result in an outflow of cash. Likewise, non-operating revenue items, such as gains on sale of equipment and investments are deducted from net income, because they do not create inflows of cash. After these adjustments are made, then changes in elements of working capital are added or subtracted. Decreases in current assets and increases in current liabilities are added to net income, while increases in current assets and decreases in current liabilities are subtracted from net income. The end result is net cash provided/used by operating activities. The direct method of preparing the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows converts each element of income and expense on the income statement from the accrual basis to the cash basis of accounting. Sales revenue is adjusted by adding the decrease in accounts receivable (or subtracting the increase in accounts receivable) to arrive at cash received from customers. Likewise, cost of goods sold is converted into cash paid for merchandise by adding the increase in inventory (or subtracting the decrease in inventory) and subtracting the increase in accounts payable (or adding the decrease in accounts payable). Other expenses are adjusted in a similar fashion and depreciation and amortization are omitted. Because the direct method of presenting cash flows from operating activities is more easily understandable, GAAP prefers its use on the statement of cash flows. However, most companies choose to use the indirect method. Diff: 2 Objective: 6.5 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

29) Johnson Company presented its financial statements to a local bank as part of a loan application. The loan officer was concerned because, even though cash flow had increased during the year and net income was positive, net cash flows from operating activities had a significant negative balance. At the same time, the company had sold a large part of its investment portfolio and issued additional stock to its shareholders. Write a memo to Johnson Company and explain the loan officer's concern. Include the relationship between cash flows from the three types of activities. Answer: Memo To: Johnson Company From: Local Bank Re: Your Statement of Cash Flows We are quite concerned about the financial position of your company. While your overall cash flows are positive, the loan committee noticed that there was a large inflow in cash flows from investing activities that came from the sale of investments. Likewise, there were additional positive cash flows from the sale of common stock. Your operating activities, however created a significant outflow of cash. Cash flows from operating activities must be positive over a period of years for a company to be able to sustain itself. Net income can be adjusted through the use of accruals and deferrals of revenues and expenses. But cash flows tell the true picture of a company's liquidity. Your company sustained itself through issuing additional stock and selling investments, but, at the same time it decreased its asset base. Borrowing additional money will further increase the burden on the corporation. You should examine what is causing cash flows from operating activities to be so negative and make the necessary corrections to your operations.

Answer: While IFRS requires similar information to GAAP with regard to significant accounting policies, subsequent events, and related part transactions, IFRS has additional requirements with regard to subsequent events, related part transactions, and sources of estimation uncertainty for assets and liabilities. • Subsequent events—Under IFRS, if a company's board of directors has authorized the issuance of the financial statements before a subsequent event occurs, it does not have to be reported on the financial statements. • Related party transactions—In addition to the disclosures required under GAAP, IFRS also requires specific disclosures on executive compensation in total and by type. • Sources of estimation uncertainty—Under IFRS, companies are required to disclose information about the assumptions and estimated made at the end of the reporting period and if there will be a significant risk of material adjustment in the subsequent period.

17) Define the term subsequent event, explain the two types of subsequent events and provide an example of each. Answer: A subsequent event is one that occurs in the time frame after the ending date of a company's fiscal year but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of significant events: 1. Those with circumstances that existed at the date of the balance sheet and 2. Those with circumstances that did not exist at the balance sheet date. An example of the first type of event is a customer whose account was significantly delinquent as of the balance sheet date and who subsequently became insolvent and filed for bankruptcy. Such an event requires both a financial statement adjustment and disclosure. The second type of event is one that did not exist at the balance sheet date. It must be disclosed, but it does not require financial statement adjustment. An example of such an event is a stock split that occurred between the end of the year and the issuance of the financial statements. This will have a significant effect on subsequent financial statements but it does not affect the current one. Diff: 2 Objective: 6.7 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

19) A subsequent event is a significant event that occurs after the date of the fiscal year-end, but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Explain how these significant events are disclosed. Answer: An entity can recognize material subsequent events either in the financial statements for the preceding year or disclose them in the notes to the financial statements. The recognition versus disclosure decision depends upon whether the event relates to a condition that existed on the balance sheet date (the end of the fiscal year). If the condition existed as of the balance sheet date, the firm should make an adjustment to the financial statements to account for the subsequent event. If the condition did not exist as of the balance sheet date, the entity is only required to disclose the subsequent event, as opposed to adjusting the financial statements.

Unqualified Opinion with Explanatory Paragraph—This type opinion is issued with there is a lack of consistency, a going concern issue, or a particular matter that should be emphasized. The statements are fairly presented but an explanatory paragraph is needed to clarify a point. 3. Qualified—The auditor concludes that: (1) the financial statements are fairly presented, but the scope of the audit was subject to significant limitations or (2) the financial statements are not in compliance with GAAP. 4. Adverse—There is a major departure from GAAP, such as expensing all capital expenditures, that causes the financial statements to not be fairly presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 5. Disclaimer of Opinion—Because the auditor is unable to form an opinion or a lack of independence on the part of the auditor, it is not possible to issue an opinion on the fair presentation of the financial statements. This is not the same thing as withdrawing from the engagement. Diff: 2 Objective: 6.8 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

25) Define the Dupont Analysis model and explain the relationship between its components. Answer: Dupont Analysis separates return on equity (ROE) into two components to analyze a company's sources of profitability. Return on equity is defined as (Net Income / Average Stockholders' Equity). ROE can be expanded into two components: Return on Assets (ROA) and Financial Leverage. ROA is defined as (Net Income / Average Total Assets) while financial leverage is defined as (Average Total Assets / Average Stockholders' Equity). The lower the financial leverage ratio, the lower the amount of debt financing that is being used. When ROA is constant, a company can increase its ROE by increasing financial leverage. However, it must balance this with the risk of insolvency from too much debt. Diff: 2 Objective: App B IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Analytical thinking

Without prior year comparisons, it is difficult to make any definite assessment of this company's financial condition. However, based on this data, the company has sufficient current assets to cover its current liabilities. It is heavily reliant on debt financing, but has enough income to service its debt. Its ROA and financial leverage result in an outstanding return on equity of 45.1%. Both return on assets and return on equity are outstanding.

19) What is the time value of money? Answer: The time value of money concept means that a dollar received today is worth more than a dollar received at some time in the future. This statement is true because a dollar received today can be invested to provide a return. Diff: 1 Objective: 7.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

20) Why do accountants need to be familiar with present value concepts? Answer: The time value of money concept is critical in several areas of accounting, particularly when valuing many of the assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements. For example, measuring assets and liabilities at fair value may require time value of money computations. Time value of money concepts determine the asset's value today based on the future cash flows it will generate. The same approach applies to determining the fair value of a liability. For example, a pension liability today can be measured using time value of money concepts and the future cash outflows a company promises to make to its employees when they retire. Diff: 1 Objective: 7.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

21) How is the effective interest rate determined? Answer: The effective interest rate is different from the stated interest rate when interest is compounded more frequently than yearly. First, compare the account balance (interest plus investment) at the end of the year with the beginning balance (interest plus investment) to determine the total amount of interest for the year. Then, divide that total amount of interest for the year by the beginning balance of the investment to determine the effective interest rate.

23) You are provided with two-time value of money tables. One table provides factors for the future value of an ordinary annuity and the other provides factors for the future value of an annuity due. How can you tell which table is which type? Answer: An ordinary annuity is an annuity where the cash flows occur at the end of the interest period and an annuity due is an annuity where the cash flows occur at the beginning of the interest period. Therefore, for any given number of periods, and a set interest rate, the future value factor for an ordinary annuity is always smaller than the corresponding factor for an annuity due. For the first period, the future value factor for an annuity due is always 1 plus the interest rate for any interest rate while the future value factor for an ordinary annuity is always 1.0.

8) Dana Zorowski has recently started her accounting career and her 25th birthday is coming soon. She has been told that now is the ideal time to begin to prepare for retirement. She has determined that she would like to retire with a pension that will pay $50,000 per year in retirement benefits after she retires with the expectation that the retirement fund should last for 20 years. To meet her pension retirement benefit goals, how much should she deposit annually for the next 40 years in a retirement investment fund that earns 8%? Assume all retirement deposits and benefit payments occur at the end of each year. Use the following tables: Excerpt from Present Value of Ordinary Annuity of $1 Table Periods 8% 10 6.71008 20 9.81815 40 11.92461 60 12.37655 Excerpt from Future Value of Ordinary Annuity of $1 Table Periods 8% 10 14.48656 20 45.76196 40 259.05652 60 1253.21330 Answer: The answer to this question can be determined in at least two ways. (1) The future value when Dana is 65 years old of the 40 annual retirement fund deposits would be equal to the present value (at age 65) of the ensuing 20 years of retirement benefit payments. First, to determine the value at age 65 of the retirement benefit payments: $50,000 × 9.81815 (present value factor at age 65 of an ordinary annuity at 8% for 20 periods) = $490,908 Then, to determine the annual retirement fund deposits: $490,908 (value at age 65) / 259.05652 (future value factor of an ordinary annuity at 8% for 40 periods) = $1,895 (2) The present value (at age 25) of the 40 years of annual deposits would be equal to the present value (at age 25) of the 20 years of retirement benefit payments (from age 65 to 85). First, to determine the value at age 25 of the retirement benefit payments from age 65 to 85 (a deferred annuity): $50,000 × [12.37655 (present value factor of an ordinary annuity at 8% for 60 periods) - 11.92461 (present value factor of an ordinary annuity at 8% for 40 periods) = $50,000 × 0.45194 = $22,597 Then, to determine the annual retirement fund deposits: $22,597 (value at age 25) / 11.92461 (present value factor of an ordinary annuity at 8% for 40 periods) = $1,895 Therefore, to provide for retirement benefits of $50,000 per year from ages 65 to 85 requires annual retirement deposits of $1,895 per year from ages 25 to 65 (assuming an interest rate of 8%).

9) Cocopedia Inc. is planning to issue bonds that will pay 6% semiannual interest and mature in 10 years. a. How much will investors be willing to pay for a $1,000 bond if the prevailing market yield rate is 4%? Use the Excel function. b. How much will investors be willing to pay for a $1,000 bond if the prevailing market interest rate is 8%? Use the Excel function. Answer: The value of a bond is the sum of the present value of the interest payments plus the present value of the maturity value. The bond will provide for 20 semiannual interest payments of $30 ($1,000 × 6% × 0.5). The present values will be evaluated using the prevailing market interest rate as the interest rate. a. =PV(0.02,20,-30,-1000) = $1,163.51 = $1,164 Total bond value @ 4% yield rate = $1,164 b. =PV(.04,20,-30,-1000) = $864.10 = $864 Total bond value @ 8% yield rate = $864 That is, the $30 interest payments plus the $1,000 maturity value will provide an 8% return on investment for investors who pay $864 for the bond or a 4% return on investment for investors who pay $1,164.

37) Explain the similarities and differences between the two methods of accounting for long-term contracts. Answer: The two methods for accounting for long-term contracts are the percentage-of-completion method and the completed-contract method. Both methods of accounting record construction in progress, receivables, billings, collections, revenue and construction costs in the same manner. However, the percentage-of-completion approach records a percentage of profit based upon the percentage of costs incurred to estimated total costs. By contrast, the completed-contract method, records no profits until the contract is completed. Both methods record losses as soon as they are incurred.

17) Under what circumstances may cash in a bank account be classified as a noncurrent asset? Answer: When cash is legally restricted from use in the current operating cycle, the company reclassifies the restricted amount from the regular cash line item on the balance sheet into restricted cash. If the restriction extends beyond one year from the balance sheet date, the restricted funds account is classified as a noncurrent asset and included in the other assets section of the balance sheet. In addition, compensating balances are minimum cash balances that debtors are required to keep on deposit as support for existing credit agreements that are either part of a contractual agreement or an informal one. If the balance is held against long-term debt, reclassify the amount of cash held as a noncurrent asset on the balance sheet.

Bad debt expense for the year was $34,000 and the ending balance in the allowance for uncollectible accounts account was $10,000. What was the amount of accounts receivable written off during the year? A) $19,000 B) $53,000 C) $483,000 D) $449,000 Answer: B Explanation: With a beginning balance of $29,000 (credit) for the allowance account and bad debt expense adding another $34,000 credit to that account, total credits would be $63,000. However, the account ended the year with a $10,000 credit balance and therefore, $53,000 of accounts would have been written-off ($63,000 - $10,000.)

21) What is a securitization of receivables? What are advantages and disadvantages of securitization? Answer: Securitization refers to a financing technique that involves taking many separate, and oftentimes diverse, financial assets and combining them into a single pool or bundle. Investors then purchase interests in the pool of assets rather than buying an individual asset or group of assets. Securitization allows a company to engage in a collateralized borrowing arrangement with a great number of lenders by issuing debt obligations or equity shares, rather than attempting to sell each asset. Securitization also allows a company to obtain financing at a lower cost of borrowing. The pooling of many individual assets diversifies the default risk from each individual asset, thereby enhancing an investor's ability to predict the investment's future cash flows, lowering risk, and thereby lowering the required rate of return. Securitization can also have drawbacks. Potential investors do not always have detailed knowledge on the original borrowers or their risk of default. Therefore, a company may have to offer the securities at a lower price. Even when a company can securitize its receivables, there is still the risk of noncollection.

16) What is a non-interest-bearing note? How does accounting for a short-term non-interest-bearing note differ from a short-term interest-bearing note? Answer: A non-interest-bearing note is a note that does not specify an interest rate. For a short-term non-interest-bearing note, the maturity value is listed as the face value, and includes both principal and implicit interest. Therefore, the note is initially recorded at its maturity value, the total interest to be earned over the life of the note is recorded as Discount on Note Receivable, and Sales is credited for the difference. If the fiscal period ends prior to collection of the note, an adjusting entry must be made to reduce the Discount on Note Receivable and increase Interest Income. In contrast, for a short-term interest-bearing note, the Notes Receivable account is recorded at the face value of the note. After issuance, interest income is recorded as earned and is determined by multiplying the principal by the stated interest rate for the time the note has been outstanding.

20) Vladulac Corporation began 2022 with accounts receivable of $180,000 and an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $13,000 (credit balance). Bad debt expense for the year was $25,000 and the ending balance in the allowance for uncollectible accounts account was $16,000. The accounts receivable turnover ratio for 2022 was 10.0. NOTE: This ratio was calculated using the average of gross accounts receivable in the denominator (that is, [$180,000 + year-end accounts receivable] divided by 2). The following additional information is also available: Inventory turnover ratio 8.0 Average inventory $150,000 Gross profit ratio 40 Required: a. What was the amount of accounts receivable written off during the year? b. What was the amount of cash collected from customers during the year? Assume that all sales are made on a credit basis and that there were no collections of previously written off receivables or sales returns. Answer: a. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = Beg. Bal. Allowance + Bad Debt Expense – Write-offs = End. Bal. Allowance Solving for write-offs: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = Beg. Bal. Allowance + Bad Debt Expense – End. Bal. Allowance = Write-offs $13,000 (beginning allowance) + $25,000 (bad debt expense) - $16,000 (ending allowance) = $22,000 in write offs b. Inventory Turnover = COGS/Average Inventory Solving for COGS: COGS = Inventory Turnover × Average Inventory COGS = 8.0 × $150,000 = $1,200,000 Sales = Cost of Goods Sold / (1 – Gross Profit Ratio) Sales equals $1,200,000 Cost of Goods Sold / (1 - 0.40) = $2,000,000 Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales / Average Accounts Receivable Solving for Average Accounts Receivable: Average Accounts Receivable = Sales / Accounts Receivable Turnover Average Accounts Receivable = Sales $2,000,000 / 10 Receivable Turnover = $200,000 = average receivables. Therefore, since beginning receivables are $180,000, ending receivables must be $220,000. Accounts Receivable Beg. Bal. + Credit Sales – Write-offs – Collections = Accounts Receivable End. Bal. Solving for collections: Accounts Receivable Beg. Bal. + Credit Sales – Write-offs – Accounts Receivable End. Bal. = Collections $180,000 (beginning balance) + $2,000,000 (sales) - $22,000 (write offs) - $220,000 (ending balance) = $1,938,000 (cash collections) Diff: 3 Objective: 9.7 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

24) Flynn Company uses LIFO for tax purposes and external reporting purposes. For internal reporting purposes, Flynn Company uses FIFO. Required: List a few reasons why a company uses different inventory costing methods for different purposes. Answer: a. The LIFO conformity rule requires a company to use LIFO for external reporting if they use LIFO for tax purposes. b. A company may not think LIFO provides a faithful representation of inventory cost flows. As a result, they want to use FIFO for internal reporting. c. A company's inventory flows may not follow the LIFO assumption of last goods in are the first out. A company's inventory flows may more closely follow FIFO. d. A company may want to reduce the amount taxes paid so they use LIFO for tax purposes. LIFO offers tax advantages over other methods when costs are increasing and inventory levels are stable. e. A company may want to conserve cash so they use LIFO for tax purposes because less cash is paid for taxes. f. A company may be following a historical pattern of using FIFO internally. Management may be more comfortable using FIFO for decision making. g. Record keeping using LIFO may be difficult because the latest purchase cost may not be available if purchased goods are in transit at the end of a period. h. A company may have different goals and objectives. A company may want to minimize the taxes paid so it uses LIFO for tax purposes. At the same time, the company may want to approximate the actual flow of costs to more accurately understand operations, and as a result, uses FIFO for internal reports.

25) 1. What is the LIFO conformity rule? 2. Why is LIFO used by so many companies? 3. What is the disadvantage of LIFO? Answer: 1. The LIFO conformity rule requires that a company using LIFO for tax purposes must also use it for financial reporting. 2. When inventory costs are increasing, and inventory levels are stable, companies use LIFO to report lower net income figures. Lower net income figures result in lower taxes paid, and thus less cash outflows for taxes. This frees up a company's cash for other purposes such as expansion, capital asset purchases, etc. 3. The problem with LIFO in a period of rising costs is that lower net income figures are not desirable in the eyes of financial statement users. The lower net income figures can detract from a company's value. Diff: 2 Objective: 10.3 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

12) What are the advantages of using dollar-value LIFO? Answer: The advantages are to the use of dollar-value LIFO are: 1. Firms account for dollars not units. An extremely diverse inventory can be made homogeneous by restating the physical units into dollars. 2. It avoids problems when there are changes in the product mix. 3. It can minimize the likelihood of liquidation because the removal of one stock number is not going to liquidate an entire cost pool.

13) What is a LIFO liquidation? In a period of rising costs, why is a LIFO liquidation feared? Answer: A LIFO liquidation occurs when ending inventory levels decrease from one accounting period to another and a company assigns the cost of early LIFO layers to Cost of Goods Sold. Early LIFO layers have the early, low costs assigned to inventory so Cost of Goods Sold has the early, low costs. This is contrary to the reason why LIFO is used. Under LIFO, we want to have the latest costs assigned to Cost of Goods Sold because they are the highest costs available, and thus offer the highest tax advantage. With a LIFO liquidation, we lose the benefit from using LIFO. The result is an increase in net income and the taxes paid. Diff: 3 Objective: 10.4 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

12) When following U.S. GAAP, firms can use two methods to write down inventory to market, if needed. Required: 1. What are the two methods called? 2. If there is a loss, describe the journal entry for both methods. 3. If there is a significant loss, which method is preferred? Why is this the case? Answer: 1. The methods are called the direct method and the indirect method. 2. Under the direct method, Cost of Goods Sold is debited and Inventory is credited. Under the indirect method, Loss on Inventory Write-down is debited and Allowance to Reduce Inventory to Market is credited. 3. The indirect method is preferred because it discloses the loss separately from the cost of goods sold that were actually sold. When a loss is disclosed as a separate line item on the income statement, a financial statement user can easily see the loss. The direct method includes the loss in cost of goods sold and therefore it is not as transparent to the financial statement user.

13) Explain the difference between the basic retail method and the conventional retail method. Answer: The difference between the two methods lies in the calculation of the cost-to-retail ratio. Under the basic retail method, the cost-to-retail ratio is calculated by adding beginning inventory at cost and purchases at cost for the numerator. The denominator adds the beginning inventory at retail, purchases at retail and net markups, and subtracts net markdowns. Under the conventional retail method, the cost-to-retail ratio is calculated by adding beginning inventory at cost and purchases at cost for the numerator. The denominator adds the beginning inventory at retail, purchases at retail, and net markups. The conventional method does not include markdowns or markdown cancellations when calculating the cost-to-retail ratio but subtracts net markdowns and sales from goods available for sale to determine ending inventory at retail. Both methods arrive at the same number for ending inventory at retail. Since both methods use different cost-to-retail ratios, the ending inventory at cost and cost of goods sold differ between the two methods.

Specifically, any expenditure necessary to obtain the asset and put it in operating condition is capitalized, or recorded as part of the cost of property, plant, and equipment. These expenditures include the contract price, less any discounts taken, plus freight, assembly, installation, and testing costs.

24) a. What is the distinction between a capital and an operating expenditure? Give two examples of each. b. Distinguish between ordinary repairs and maintenance and major repairs. How should a company account for each? Answer: a. The distinction between a capital expenditure and an operating expenditure is based on whether the costs have increased the future economic benefits of the asset above those that were originally expected. If the future economic benefits of the asset are increased, the expenditure is a capital expenditure and is recorded as an increase to the asset account. The future economic benefits can be increased by extending the life of the asset, improving productivity (producing a greater quantity at the same cost or producing the same quantity of product at a lower cost), or increasing the quality of the product. If the costs maintain the existing benefits, the expenditure is an operating (or revenue) expenditure. b. The costs of ordinary repairs and maintenance are expenditures that do not increase the future economic benefits of the asset but, instead, maintain the existing benefits provided by the asset. These costs are expensed as they are incurred. Major repairs are those that cannot be foreseen and do not occur in the usual course of operations, such as emergency repairs to a machine that breaks down during production. Usually, a company expenses these costs, but care should be taken to note whether these repairs increase the future benefits of the asset. If they do, then the company capitalizes the costs.

25) Briefly describe the accounting for the acquisition and use of equipment and indicate which accounts are involved in accounting for equipment and what types of accounts are these? Answer: Initially, the most objective information regarding the value of equipment is its cost. As a result, the accountant preserves the record of historical cost in a non-current tangible asset account (Equipment) and records the estimated depreciation expense (Depreciation Expense) on the income statement and reduces the value of the equipment on the balance sheet in the separate contra-asset account (Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment). For financial statement purposes, firms report the net book value as a single line item (Equipment minus Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment).

Acquisition cost: The purchase price and other incidental costs required to place an asset into service. 2. Estimated useful life: The number of years the asset will be productive; the period of productive service to the company. 3. Estimated scrap value: The residual value or salvage value the company expects to realize on disposal of the asset at the end of its useful life. 4. Depreciation method: The procedure for calculating the amount of the asset's value that will be reduced and charged to depreciation expense during each accounting period; ideally, the method is chosen the one that best reflects the pattern with which revenue is generated from the use of the asset.

27) Briefly explain the half-year convention for recognizing depreciation. Answer: The half-year convention is a method to compute partial-year depreciation that assumes the firm purchased all fixed assets at the mid-point of the year. The firm records a half year of depreciation for an asset acquired during the year of purchase. The company also records a half-year's depreciation in the final year of the asset's life. For example, for an asset purchased on May 1 with a five-year life, the firm takes a half year of depreciation in year 1 and year 6.

11) How is derecognition of an asset recognized in the financial statements? Answer: Derecognition requires that the firm remove all related accounts from the ledger, including the asset's cost and its accumulated depreciation. Before removing the asset from the ledger, the firm must bring the accumulated depreciation up to date at the time of derecognition. Because firms generally make an entry for depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation only when the financial statements are prepared, the firm must recognize any depreciation expense related to the use of the asset from the last financial statement date until the date of derecognition.

12) On December 31, 2022, Franz Company sold a piece of machinery it purchased on January 1, 2015, with an original cost of $450,000. The asset had a useful life of 15 years and a scrap value of $50,000. It sold the asset for $200,000 in cash. Franz recorded depreciation through December 31, 2021, using the straight-line method. What was the carrying value of the asset on the date of sale? What is the gain or loss on disposal? Answer: To properly calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we need to determine the carrying value of the asset when it was sold. The depreciable base equals $400,000 ($450,000 original cost less $50,000 estimated scrap value) and the asset had a useful life of 15 years. Thus, the annual depreciation expense for the machinery is $26,667 ($400,000/15). Because Franz had held the asset for seven years as of December 31, 2021, the accumulated depreciation as of the end of 2021 was $186,669 ($26,667 × 7 years). The depreciation for 2022 would also be $26,667 so that accumulated depreciation upon the sale would be: $213,336 ($186,669 + $26,667). The carrying value of the machine upon its sale would be $236,664 ($450,0000 - $213,336). There would be a loss of $36,664 upon disposal ($200,000 - $236,664.)

21) What is goodwill and how is it accounted for? Answer: Goodwill is an intangible asset created by factors that are typically difficult to identify and measure. Because these factors are difficult to reliably measure, accounting standards allow firms to record goodwill as an asset only when a firm is acquired. When one firm buys another firm, the purchase price may be higher than the fair value of the acquired net assets, that is, its assets minus its liabilities. The premium paid at acquisition is referred to as goodwill. Because goodwill is tied to the specific business operations acquired and exists as long as these operations continue, it is not subject to amortization.

17) How does a firm determine the appropriate period of time over which an intangible asset should be amortized? Answer: If the asset is an indefinite-life asset such as goodwill, the asset is not amortized. To determine estimated useful lives of finite-life intangible assets, firms consider legal, regulatory, contractual, and competitive factors. The expected period of economic benefit of the asset must take into account the effects of obsolescence, demand, and technological advances. Current accounting standards do not specify either a method of amortization to use or a limit on the useful life. The period of amortization should be either the useful life or legal life, whichever is shorter. Diff: 2 Objective: 11.7 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

18) An intangible asset with an estimated useful life of 30 years was acquired on January 1, 2009, for $540,000. On January 1, 2023, a review was made of intangible assets and their expected service lives. It was determined that this asset had an estimated useful life of 30 more years from the date of the review. What is the amount of amortization for this intangible in 2023? Answer: The total life, per revised facts, is 40 years (10 + 30). There are 30 (40 - 10) remaining years for amortization purposes. Original amortization: $540,000 / 30 years = $18,000 per year; $18,000 × 10 years expired = $180,000 accumulated amortization. Now, in 2023, the remaining useful life is 30 years and the remaining cost to be amortized is $360,000 ($540,000 - $180,000). Therefore, the amortization for 2023 and years thereafter is $360,000 / 30 = $12,000. Diff: 2 Objective: 11.7 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

8) Dice Manufacturing Inc. exchanged a forklift for a truck acquired from Lima Equipment and Logistics Ltd. Dice also received a cash consideration of $13,000. Dice expects the future cash flows to change as a result of this transaction and, therefore, the exchange has commercial substance. The carrying value and fair value of the forklift and truck at the date of the exchange are as follows:

Asset Forklift (asset given up) Truck (asset received)

Cost $66,000 $52,000

Accumulated Depreciation Carrying Value $10,000 $56,000 $5,000 $47,000

Fair Value $53,000 $60,000

Prepare the journal entry for Dice to record the transaction. Answer: The truck (the new asset) is valued at the fair value of the consideration given in the exchange minus the cash received. The new asset's value is equal to the fair value of the old asset given up less the cash received (i.e., $53,000 − $13,000 = $40,000). Dice will recognize any gain or loss on the exchange because the transaction has commercial substance. There is a $3,000 loss in this case, measured as the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset given up in the exchange (i.e., $53,000 − $56,000 = $3,000). The entry to record the transaction is as follows: Truck (New) Accumulated Depreciation – Forklift (Old) Cash Loss on Exchange of Equipment Equipment – Forklift (Old)

Asset Ford Buses (Assets Given Up) GM Buses (Assets Received)

Fair Value $620,000 $595,500

Frank's received cash of $40,000 and the GM buses in exchange for the Ford buses. It is expected that the future cash flows of Frank's business will not change significantly as a result of this exchange. What amount of gain would be recognized as a result of this transaction? Answer: The total potential gain is equal to $30,000: Fair value of the asset given up − Carrying value of the asset given up = $620,000 − $590,000 = $30,000 The percentage of gain to recognize is as follows: Percent of Gain Recognized = Cash Received/Total Consideration Received = Cash Received/(Cash Received + FMV of the Assets Received) = $40,000/($40,000 + $595,500) = 6.3% Compute the portion of the gain recognized and the portion deferred: Partial Gain Recognized = $30,000 × 6.3% = $1,890 Deferred Gain = $30,000 − $1,890 = $28,110 Diff: 3 Objective: App A IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

34) Briefly describe the process for determining impairment losses on property, plant, and equipment and finite-life intangible assets. Answer: 1. Evaluate whether impairment indicators are present. A variety of such indicators are provided which may suggest the asset has significantly declined in value. 2. If impairment indicators are present, the firm will then assess recoverability of the asset. The recoverability of an asset refers to the firm's ability to recover the asset's carrying value based on the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows from the use and disposal of the asset. 3. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset is less than its carrying value, the value of the asset is not expected to be recoverable and therefore, the asset is deemed to be impaired and an impairment loss must be recognized. The amount of the impairment loss is calculated as the carrying value less the fair value. Diff: 1 Objective: 12.2 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

35) Explain how gains or losses on impaired long-term operating assets should be reported in income. How should impairment losses be recorded? Answer: Gains on impaired assets would never be reported. Losses would be reported if the asset is deemed to be impaired, which occurs if the carrying value of the asset is greater than the sum of undiscounted future cash flows from the use of that asset. Losses would be reported in income from continuing operations on the income statement. When recording the impairment loss, the firm eliminates the balance in the accumulated depreciation (or accumulated amortization) account and reduces the asset account. Specifically, it recognizes the impairment loss by: 1. Debiting the loss. 2. Debiting the accumulated depreciation or accumulated amortization for its entire balance. 3. Crediting the asset account for the sum of the loss and the accumulated depreciation or accumulated amortization. Diff: 1 Objective: 12.2 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

14) How do the standards specifying when to test for impairment for indefinite-life intangible assets differ from those standards for finite-life intangible assets? Answer: Firms conduct an impairment test for finite-life intangible assets whenever impairment indicators indicate that an asset may be impaired. For indefinite-life intangible assets, the firm has two options for determining when to test for impairment: (1) Assess qualitative factors annually to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test; or (2) perform an impairment test annually.

A) £131,000 B) £78,000 C) £73,000 D) £58,000 Answer: B Explanation: IFRS allows a reversal of the impairment loss, up to amount of the recorded loss. The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less selling costs of £273,000 and its value in use of £215,000. The reversal amount is the recoverable amount of £273,000 less the 2023 book value of £142,000 = £131,000. However, the reversal is limited to the amount of the previous impairment loss - £78,000.

23) Explain the IFRS impairment test process including determination of the amount of the impairment loss, if any, for property, plant and equipment. Answer: IFRS uses a one-step impairment test that has two parts: • Part 1: Determine the asset's recoverable amount • Part 2: Compare the asset's recoverable amount to its carrying value The asset's recoverable amount is the greater of: 1. The asset's estimated fair value less costs to sell, or 2. Its value in use, the present value of the future cash flows the firm expects to derive from an asset. Firms then compare the recoverable amount to the carrying value of the asset: 1. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value of the asset, then the entity is required to measure the impairment loss. 2. If the recoverable amount is greater than the carrying value of the asset, then there is no impairment loss. Under IFRS, the impairment loss is simply the difference between the recoverable amount and carrying value of the asset. Diff: 1 Objective: 12.5 IFRS/GAAP: IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

24) Explain the IFRS limitations on reversal of previously recognized impairment losses for property, plant, equipment and finite-life intangible assets. Answer: There are two important constraints: 1. The amount of the write-up (reversal) is limited to the amount of the original impairment loss. The reversal cannot exceed the original impairment loss. 2. The reversal cannot result in a company reporting a value that is higher than what it would be reporting if the asset had never been impaired. Firms report a reversal of an impairment loss in income.

The value in use of the machinery is €335,000 and its fair value less selling costs is €290,000. The company uses IFRS. a. Determine if an impairment loss has occurred. Explain. b. If an impairment loss has occurred, provide the journal entry to record the impairment loss and determine the new carrying value of the machinery. Answer: a. The recoverable value (value in use of €335,000) is less than the carrying value (book value) of €380,000. Therefore, an impairment loss has occurred. b. The amount of the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying value of the machinery and its recoverable value: €380,000 - €335,000 = €45,000. Therefore, the journal entry to record the impairment loss is as follows: Accumulated Depreciation - Machinery Impairment Loss on Machinery Machinery

480,000 45,000 525,000

The carrying value of the machinery after the impairment loss has been recognized is €335,000 (€860,000 - €525,000) which is equal to its recoverable value. Diff: 1 Objective: 12.5 IFRS/GAAP: IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

26) In 2015, Bender Inc. acquired production machinery at a cost of £630,000, which now has accumulated depreciation of £380,000. The value in use of the machinery is £190,000. and its fair value less cost to sell is £210,000. What amount should Bender recognize as a loss on impairment? Answer: The loss is the difference between the book value and the recoverable amount for the asset. The book value is the cost of £630,000 less accumulated depreciation of £380,000 = £250,000. The asset's recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's estimated fair value less the cost to sell or its value in use, which is the present value of the future cash flows the firm expects to derive from the asset. The recoverable amount is, therefore, the greater of the fair value less cost to sell of £210,000 and its value in use of £190,000. The recognized loss is the difference between the book value of £250,000 and the recoverable amount of £210,000—resulting in a loss of £40,000.

27) In 2015, Dixon Company acquired production machinery which now has a book value of ¥670,000. The discounted future cash flows from use of the machinery is ¥275,000 and its fair value less costs to sell is ¥255,000. Dixon has determined that an impairment loss has occurred. What is the carrying value of the machinery after the journal entry to record the impairment loss has been recorded under IFRS? Answer: The loss will reduce the book value of the production machinery to the recoverable amount, which is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell of ¥255,000 and the value in use of ¥275,000. As a result, the carrying value after the impairment loss is recorded will be ¥275,000. Diff: 2 Objective: 12.5 IFRS/GAAP: IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

30) A company gives each of its 50 employees (assume they were all employed continuously through 2022 and 2023) 12 days of vacation a year if they are employed at the end of the year. The vacation accumulates and may be taken starting January 1 of the next year. The employees work 8 hours per day. In 2022, they made $17.50 per hour and in 2023 they made $20 per hour. During 2023, they took an average of 8 days of vacation each. The company's policy is to record the liability existing at the end of each year at the wage rate for that year. Under U.S. GAAP, what amount of vacation liability would be reflected on the 2022 and 2023 balance sheets, respectively? A) $84,000; $124,000 B) $96,000; $116,000 C) $84,000; $32,000 D) $96,000; $32,000 Answer: A Explanation: At the end of 2022, the company will accrue vacation liability for 50 employees × 12 days per year × 8 hours/day × $17.50 per hour = $84,000. During 2023, employees earn additional vacation and the company accrues an additional amount, calculated as 50 employees × 12 days per year × 8 hours/day × $20 per hour = $96,000. The vacation liability account is debited for actual vacation used based on the rate in place when the vacation was earned and the difference is debited as additional compensation expense. The debit for vacation used is 50 employees × 8 days per year × 8 hours/day × $17.50 per hour = $56,000. As a result, the ending balance in the vacation liability account is $84,000 + $96,000 - $56,000 = $124,000. Diff: 3 Objective: 13.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

33) Bull's Eye Department Stores, Inc. records $200,000 in gift card sales and receives cash in year 1. Customers redeemed 15% of the gift cards to purchase merchandise in year 1. The company estimates breakage as 12% and uses the proportional method. How much breakage revenue should be recorded at the end of year 1? (Round any intermediary percentages two decimal places, X.XX%. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar.) A) $24,000 B) $30,000 C) $3,600 D) $4,092 Answer: D Explanation: Total breakage is estimated to be 12% × $200,000 = $24,000. Redemptions during year 1 were 15% of $200,000 = $30,000. Since $30,000 /($200,000 - $24,000) = 17.05% of the estimated gift cards to be redeemed are redeemed in year 1, 17.05% of the estimated breakage revenue should also be recognized at this time.

35) Distinguish between an interest-bearing note and a non-interest-bearing note. How are the proceeds computed for a non-interest-bearing note? Answer: Both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing notes payable are promissory notes that require the borrower to repay a sum of money on a specific date. Both notes require the payment of interest and principal. For an interest-bearing note, the principal amount equals the face value of the note, and the interest rate is stated explicitly on the note. For a non-interest-bearing note, the face amount of the note includes both principal and interest to maturity. For a non-interest-bearing note, the borrower receives less than the face value of the note, and, therefore, the interest is implied as the difference between the face value of the note and the cash received. The cash received is equal to the present value of the note discounted at the market rate of interest. Diff: 2 Objective: 13.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

36) What are compensated absences? How does a company account for them? Answer: Compensated absences are employer-paid time off for vacation, illness, holidays, military service, jury duty, maternity leave, or other personal activities. A company accounts for compensated absences by recording an expense and accruing a liability if: (1) the obligation is based on employee services already performed by the employee, (2) the benefits to be paid either vest or accumulate, (3) future payment is probable, and (4) the amount of the future payment can be reasonably estimated. If the benefits are vested, compensation benefits should be accrued.If the benefits accumulate but are not vested, then the accounting treatment must address the probability of payment. Assume the likelihood that the company will pay the benefits is low or very uncertain. Because the accumulated compensated absences do not meet the definition of a liability of being a probable future sacrifice, the firm would not accrue them. With non-vested accumulated compensated absences, accountants must consider the employer's prior practices. If the employer permits employees to accumulate sick days when they are not used, the customary practice would justify the accrual of compensation expense. Diff: 2 Objective: 13.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

37) How do GAAP and IFRS differ in the treatment of compensated absences? Answer: Accounting for compensated absences is similar under IFRS and GAAP except that for the compensation rate used to calculate the liability. GAAP requires companies to use the compensation rate in place at the time that the compensated absences are earned, while IFRS requires the company to use future rates if these can be estimated. The difference can result in a higher liability under IFRS than under GAAP when a current cost estimate is used. Diff: 2 Objective: 13.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

38) What is breakage and how does it relate to the accounting for sales of gift cards? Describe two methods for estimating the amount of breakage. Answer: Breakage refers to the percentage of gift card sales that is never redeemed. When gift cards are sold, proceeds are recorded as unearned revenue which is deemed to be earned when the gift cards are redeemed. When breakage is anticipated, the company will remove the liability from its books and recognize revenue. If the company expects to be entitled to a breakage amount and it can be estimated, then it should use the proportional method to account for breakage. Otherwise, it should use the remote method which requires the seller to reliably estimate the amount of breakage. The company recognizes revenue from gift card breakage and removes the liability for the advance collection (unearned revenue) only when the probability of redemption becomes remote.

39) Bull's Eye Department Stores, Inc. records $180,000 in gift card sales and receives cash in year 1. Customers redeemed 20% of the gift cards to purchase merchandise in year 1. The company estimates breakage as 12% and uses the proportional method. What is the proper treatment for redemption of the gift cards and recognition of breakage? Answer: At the time that the gift cards are redeemed, Unearned Revenue – Gift Cards will be debited in the amount of 20% × $180,000 = $36,000 and Sales Revenue will be credited. Total breakage is estimated to be 12% × $180,000 = $21,600. 22.73% ($36,000/($180,000-$21,600)) of the estimated gift cards to be redeemed have been redeemed, so 22.73% of the estimated breakage revenue should also be recognized at this time, with a debit to Unearned Revenue – Gift Cards and a credit to Breakage Revenue in the amount of 22.73% × $21,600 = $4,910.

40) A company gives each of its 80 employees (assume they were all employed continuously through 2022 and 2023) 12 days of vacation a year if they are employed at the end of the year. The vacation accumulates and may be taken starting January 1 of the next year. The employees work 8 hours per day. In 2022, they made $17.50 per hour and in 2019 they made $20 per hour. During 2023, they took an average of 8 days of vacation each. The company's policy is to record the liability existing at the end of each year at the wage rate for that year. Under U.S. GAAP, what amount of vacation liability would be reflected on the 2022 and 2023 balance sheets? Answer: At the end of 2022, the company will accrue vacation liability for 80 employees × 12 days per year × 8 hours/day × $17.50 per hour = $134,400. During 2023, employees earn additional vacation and the company accrues an additional amount, calculated as 80 employees × 12 days per year × 8 hours/day × $20 per hour = $153,600. The vacation liability account is debited for actual vacation used based on the rate in place when the vacation was earned and the difference is debited as additional compensation expense. The debit for vacation used is 80 employees × 8 days per year × 8 hours/day × $17.50 per hour = $89,600. As a result the ending balance in the vacation liability account is $134,400 + $153,600 - $89,600 = $198,400. Diff: 3 Objective: 13.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

44) Bull's Eye Department Stores, Inc. records $200,000 in gift card sales and receives cash in year 1. Customers redeemed 30% of the gift cards to purchase merchandise in year 1. The company estimates breakage as 11% and uses the proportional method. How much breakage revenue should be recorded at the end of year 1? (Round any intermediary percentages two decimal places, X.XX%. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar.) Answer: $7,416. Total breakage is estimated to be 11% × $200,000 = $22,000. Redemptions during year 1 were 30% of $200,000 = $60,000. Since $60,000/($200,000 - $22,000) = 33.71%% of the estimated gift cards to be redeemed are redeemed in year 1, 33.71% of the estimated breakage revenue should also be recognized at this time. Breakage revenue = 33.71% × $22,000 = $7,416. Diff: 2 Objective: 13.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

17) How does IFRS accounting for asset retirement obligations different from U.S. GAAP accounting? Answer: Accounting for AROs under IFRS differs in three main ways from U.S. GAAP: • Under IFRS, an obligation to restore property can be a legal obligation similar to U.S. GAAP, or an economic obligation. Therefore, AROs may be reported more frequently under IFRS. • Under IFRS, the obligation is estimated based on the costs, rather than fair value (from U.S. GAAP), of dismantling and removing any items or restoring the site. • Under IFRS, estimated costs are discounted using a pre-tax interest rate and the risks specific to the liability. So, the analyses do not require the company to perform other detailed calculations on taxes. A pre-tax interest rate is higher than an after tax interest rate under U.S. GAAP, so the present value of the obligation would be lower. The accretion expense is referred to as interest expense under IFRS. Diff: 1 Objective: 13.2 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

19) How is accounting for loss contingencies different under IFRS as compared to U.S. GAAP? Answer: IFRS is similar to U.S. GAAP, except for the following three differences: • Definition of probable. Where U.S. GAAP defines probable as "likely," IFRS defines probable as "more likely than not," which is greater than 50% probable. Thus, some contingencies that would not be reported on the balance sheet under U.S. GAAP will be reported under IFRS. • Estimate in a range. When a company can estimate a range for the loss, but cannot identify a single most-likely outcome within that range, IFRS requires that it accrue the midpoint of the range rather than the minimum as under U.S. GAAP. • Discounting. IFRS reporters take into account the time value of money when evaluating contingent liabilities and discount the liability, when material. Recall that U.S. GAAP reporters can discount contingent liabilities to their present value when the amount of the liability and the timing of the payments are fixed or reliably determinable.

22) During 2021, Blevert Co. introduced a new line of machines that carry a three-year warranty against manufacturer's defects. Based on industry experience, warranty costs are estimated at 2% of sales in the year of sale, 4% in the year after sale, and 5% in the second year after sale. Sales and actual warranty expenditures for the first three-year period were as follows:

2021 2022 2023

Actual Warranty Sales Expenditures $800,000 2,000 1,500,000 26,000 2,300,000 100,000 $4,600,000 $128,000

What amount should Blevert report as a liability at December 31, 2023? A) $325,000 B) $104,000 C) $150,000 D) $375,000 Answer: D Explanation: Warranty costs are estimated to be 13% of sales over the life of the warranty (2% + 4% + 7%). In 2021, Blevert will record warranty expense of 13% of sales of $400,000 – in the amount of $52,000 – and will credit the Contingent Warranty Liability account for this amount. The $6,000 actual repairs will be debited from this account, reducing the end of year balance to $46,000. In 2022, the company will increase the Contingent Warranty Liability account by $130,000 (13% of sales) and will decrease the account by actual warranty payments, resulting in a balance of $46,000 + $130,000 - $26,000 = $150,000. In 2023, the company will increase the Contingent Warranty Liability account by $325,000 (13% of sales) and will decrease the account by actual warranty payments, resulting in a balance of $150,000 + $325,000 $100,000 = $375,000.

32) What is a loss contingency? What exactly is the company uncertain about? Answer: A loss contingency is an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible loss to an entity that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The two criteria that must be met before a loss contingency is reported in a company's financial statements are: (1) it is probable that a liability has been incurred (or an asset has been impaired), and (2) the company can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. Here, "uncertainty" means that a company is uncertain about the outcome of the future event that will either confirm or deny that a liability exists due to an event that has already taken place.

33) Describe how to account for warranty costs if the warranty is determined to be a service-type warranty. How does this differ from accounting for an assurance-type warranty? Answer: For a service-type warranty, a company defers revenue from the sale of the warranty contract and generally recognizes it as the company satisfies its performance obligation, usually on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. Any costs necessary to satisfy the service-type warranty are generally expensed as incurred. For an assurance-type warranty, a company recognizes the estimated warranty expense and a liability for future performance in the period of sale of the associated product. Any costs incurred to satisfy the assurance-type warranty generally reduce the warranty liability. Diff: 2 Objective: 13.4 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

18) Name and describe the three different prices that bonds can be issued at by a corporation. Answer: 1. Face value 2. A discount, a price below face value 3. A premium, a price above face value The discount or premium is determined by the difference between the stated or face rate of interest and the current market rate. The bond purchaser makes the investment in order to earn the current market rate of interest for an amount of comparable risk. When the stated interested rate is less than the market rate, bonds will be priced at less than the face value and the difference between face value and market value is called a discount. When the stated interested rate is more than the market rate, bonds will be priced higher than the face value and the difference between face value and market value is called a premium.

Answer: A Explanation: The implied exercise price is the par value of the bond divided by the number of shares to be issued at conversion, $1,000/50 = $20. The value of the option is the difference between the market price and the implied exercise price, $28 - $20 = $8/share. Because the market price exceeds the implied exercise price, the bonds are issued with a beneficial conversion option valued at $8 × 50 shares = $400 × 300 bonds = $120,000.

19) Describe the difference between the valuation of convertible bonds at issue using GAAP and IFRS. Answer: Using U.S. GAAP, convertible bonds without a beneficial conversion option ignore the conversion feature. Convertible bonds with a beneficial conversion option separate the value of the bonds from the beneficial conversion feature. GAAP values the beneficial conversion feature as the excess of the market price of the stock at issue minus the implied exercise price of the stock in the beneficial conversion feature. The positive difference is credited to Additional Paid-in Capital, Beneficial Conversion Option and the bond's effective interest rate is recalculated. Using IFRS, the value of the debt and conversion feature are bifurcated. The bonds are valued at the present value of the future cash flows of the bonds at the market rate of interest. The issue price of the convertible bonds minus the debt component is the value of the conversion feature and is credited to Other Capital Reserves.

The implied exercise price is the par value of the bond divided by the number of shares to be issued at conversion, $1,000/25 = $40. The value of the option is the difference between the market price and the implied exercise price, $45 - $40 = $5/share. Because the market price exceeds the implied exercise price, the bonds are issued with a beneficial conversion option valued at $5 × 25 shares = $125 × 5,000 bonds = $625,000.

A) $0 B) $120,000 C) $234,365 D) $240,000 Answer: C Explanation: The proceeds from the sale of the bonds is 104% × $3,000,000 = $3,120,000. The market value of the bonds without the warrants is $985 × 3,000 bonds = $2,955,000 and the market value of the warrants is 3,000 bonds × 20 warrants each × $4 = $240,000. The total of the market values is $2,955,000 + $240,000 = $3,195,000. Warrants represent $240,000/$3,195,000 = 7.5117% of the total value, so 7.5117% of the $3,120,000 = $234,365.

15) Distinguish between convertible bonds and bonds issued with detachable stock warrants. Answer: Convertible bonds restrict the ownership of the security to either the bonds or the common stock but require no additional cash if the bondholder decides to convert the bonds to stock. Bonds issued with detachable stock warrants allow the owner of the bonds to maintain ownership of both the bonds and the warrants. The owner can sell either of the securities and keep the other. If the owner keeps the stock warrants, they can exercise them and purchase common stock at a potentially bargain purchase price. Future cash is required to own the common stock.

13) Mason, Ltd. measures its trading securities at fair value. It has liabilities that it also measures using the fair value option. Mason has bonds outstanding (originally sold for $2,500,000) in the amount of $2,000,000 with a current bond premium of $449,000. The bonds were selling at 102 on the market on December 31. If its Fair Value Adjustment on Bonds Payable account currently contains a debit amount of $420,000, what adjustment is necessary to report the value of the bonds under the fair value option. Answer: Date Account Debit Credit December 31 Unrealized Loss on Bonds Payable 11,000 Fair Value Adjustment on Bonds Payable 11,000 Explanation: Current carrying value = $2,449,000 ($2,000,000 + $449,000) Current fair value = $2,000,000 × 1.02 = $2,040,000 Fair value adjustment needed $2,449,000 - $2,040,000 = $409,000 Debit (Debit because writing down liability with credit balance). Fair value adjustment has $420,000 Debit so it is too high. We only need $409,000. So we must credit Fair value adjustment for $11,000 ($420,000 - $409,000). The debit is to Unrealized Loss on Bonds Payable (Net Income) because the change is due to interest rate changes that affect net income.

5) Gordon Corporation issued $200,000 par value, 4%, 5-year bonds on January 1, 2023. The bonds mature on December 31, 2027 and pay semi-annual interest. The market rate on the date of issue is 6%. Gordon has elected to use the straight-line method for discount amortization. What is the bond issue price for the Gordon bonds? A) $200,000 B) $182,940 C) $217,965 D) $170,560 Answer: B Explanation: The issue price is calculated as the present value of the interest payments and the par value at maturity, discounted at the market rate of interest. As the bonds pay interest semi-annually, the appropriate interest rate is 6%/2 = 3% and the number of periods is 5 years × 2 = 10 periods. Semi-annual interest payments are the par value times the stated rate divided by 2, $200,000 × 4% / 2 = $4,000, and the future value is the par value of $200,000.

As the bonds pay interest semi-annually, the appropriate interest rate is 4%/2 = 2% and the number of periods is 5 years × 2 = 10 periods. Semi-annual interest payments are the par value times the stated rate divided by 2, $800,000 × 2% / 2 = $8,000, and the future value is the par value of $800,000. Using the Excel formula =PV(0.02,10,-8000,-800000), the issue price is $728,139. Discount on bonds payable is the difference between the par value and the issue price, $800,000 - $728,139 = $71,861.

21) Why would a company issue a stock split? Answer: The primary reason a company will issue a stock split is that they feel the stock it is trading at too high a price to attract a wide investor base. Companies issue stock to raise capital; therefore, being able to attract more investors is in the best interest of the company. If the price per share is too high, the investor base will be limited.

21) Illusions, Inc. reacquired 30,000 shares of its common stock for $15 per share on June 1. On July 1 they sold 5,000 treasury shares for $20 per share. On August 1 they sold 9,000 treasury shares for $10 per share. Assuming no prior balance in the Additional Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock Transactions account, what is the ending balance in this account following these transactions? Is this a debit or credit balance? Answer: $20,000 debit balance. Cost of the Treasury is $15 per share. When 5,000 shares are sold on July 1, there is a credit to Additional Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock Transactions of $25,000 [5,000 shares × ($20 - $15)]. When 9,000 shares are sold below the cost of $15 on August 1, there is a debit to Additional Paid-in Capital from Treasury stock of $45,000 [9,000 × ($15 - $10)]. So, $25,000 credit - $45,000 debit = $20,000 debit balance after the transactions. Diff: 2 Objective: 15.3 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

29) How do U.S. GAAP and IFRS differ in their presentation of preferred stock on the balance sheet? Answer: There are three primary differences in the treatment of preferred stock under IFRS. 1. Convertible preferred shares: IFRS classification depends on the terms of the conversion feature. If there are fixed number of shares to be delivered upon conversion, the shares are classified as equity. Otherwise, the shares are classified as debt. 2. Non-mandatorily redeemable preferred shares: Under IFRS, when the preferred stockholder has the option to require redemption, the firm reports redeemable preferred shares as a liability. Here, the company may not be able to avoid paying cash, so it reports the preferred stock as a liability. In this case, the possible requirement to distribute cash is not under the control of the issuing corporation. 3. Fixed-dividend preferred shares: Under IFRS, the shares are classified as a liability because there is a contractual obligation and a fixed payment is required. Following U.S. GAAP, all of the above types of preferred stock are reported as equity on the balance sheet. Diff: 3 Objective: 15.4 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

9) Explain the reasons for reporting other comprehensive income separately from net income. Answer: Answers will vary, but should include points from the "conceptual framework" section: 1. OCI items have a low probability of cash flow realization in the short term and therefore should not be included in net income. Including these items would further remove net income from the underlying cash flows of the firm. 2. The temporary nature of OCI items would create earnings volatility (when these temporary events reverse) if included in net income. 3. OCI events are not part of normal business operations so they should not be included in net income. Diff: 1 Objective: 15.6 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

10) What key questions must be addressed when accounting for investments in debt and equity securities? Answer: Accounting for investments in debt and equity securities involved addressing four key questions: 1. Is the investment a debt security or an equity security? 2. How long does management intend to hold the investment? 3. If the investment is an equity security, how much control does the investor have over the investee company? 4. If the investment is an equity security, is the fair value readily determinable? Diff: 2 Objective: 16.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Reflective thinking

11) How do the qualitative characteristics of relevance and faithful representation relate to the measurement bases used for investments? Answer: The standard setters' requirements for cost or fair value accounting for investments involve a trade-off between the two fundamental qualitative characteristics in the conceptual framework of relevance and faithful representation. The cost-basis method of valuation clearly provides a faithful representation of an asset's value. While there is a high degree of accuracy, it is often not relevant. On the other hand, fair value is highly relevant in that it reflects future economic benefits associated with the asset. However, in many cases, the fair value is subjective and, thus, may not provide a faithful representation. Diff: 2 Objective: 14.9 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Reflective thinking

25) How does IFRS account for equity investments when there is no significant influence? Answer: Unlike U.S. GAAP, IFRS does not distinguish between investments with and without a readily determinable fair value. Under IFRS, these investments are typically measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in net income similar to U.S. GAAP. However, under certain circumstances, a company can elect to report gains and losses in other comprehensive income, called fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). If the company makes this election, then all gains and losses–both realized and unrealized–are reported in other comprehensive income. A company can make this election under two circumstances, specifically, when the equity investment is: • Not held for trading • Not part of contingent consideration in a business combination when it could possibly be given as additional payment on the purchase of a business after it is acquired This election to designate an equity investment as FVOCI is irrevocable and is made on an investment-byinvestment basis.

27) What are the three levels of influence that an investor can have over an investee company? What is the appropriate accounting treatment for each level of influence? Answer: 1. No significant influence–This applies to investments of less than 20% of another company. These investments are recorded initially at cost. Dividends received are recorded as investment revenue. At the end of every reporting period, the investment is adjusted to fair value. If fair value is not readily determinable, fair value should be obtained from Levels 2 and 3 from the fair value hierarchy or the investment can be adjusted using price changes in similar securities from same issuer. Unrealized gains and losses from fair value adjustments and realized gains and losses from sales are reported on the income statement. 2. Significant influence–This applies to investments from 20 - 50%. These investments are recorded at cost and adjusted for changes related to the investor's share of the investee's income or loss. They are also decreased by the investor's share of dividend payments. If there is an excess of fair value over book value of the investee's net assets, the investment account is adjusted for the investor's share of the excess. There is no fair value adjustment made unless the investor uses the fair value option. 3. Control–This applies to investments of greater than 50%. These investments are accounted for by filing consolidated income statements. Diff: 3 Objective: 16.4 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

22) What are the primary effects of amortizing a discount on notes receivable? Answer: There are two primary effects of discount amortization: 1. Amortization increases the interest revenue so that the corporation's effective rate of return is brought up to the higher market rate. 2. Amortization reduces the discount and increases the carrying value of the note receivable until the carrying value is brought up to its face value at the maturity date.

19) For investing assets reported at fair value, companies disclose information to enable users to assess the fair value estimates and reasonableness of assumptions made in determining fair value. How is this accomplished? Answer: Companies report securities based on a fair value hierarchy that reflects the reliability of significant inputs used in making fair value measurements. The levels are ranked from most reliable to those fair values that required the most judgment. The levels are: Level 1: Fair values are determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2: Fair values are determined using significant other observable inputs. Other observable input could include securities dealer quotes, or prices based on similar assets in the open markets. Level 3: Fair values are determined using significant unobservable inputs. For instance, fair values in this group could be estimated based on pricing models such as discounted cash flows. Diff: 2 Objective: 16.7 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Reflective thinking

What is the increase or decrease in the deferred tax liability for year 3? A) $3040 increase B) $25,440 increase C) $14,560 decrease D) $37,600 increase Answer: A Explanation: Deferred tax liability, end of 3rd year= Asset book basis $300,000 – Asset tax basis $172,800 = $127,200 × 20% tax rate = $25,440 deferred tax liability. Asset book basis = $600,000 – ($100,000 × 3) = $300,000 Asset tax basis = $600,000 – (20% × $600,000) – (32% × $600,000) – (19.20% × $600,000) = $172,800 Deferred tax liability, end of 2nd year= Asset book basis $400,000 – Asset tax basis $288,000 = $112,000 × 20% tax rate = $22,400 deferred tax liability. Asset book basis = $600,000 – ($100,000 × 2) = $400,000 Asset tax basis = $600,000 – (20% × $600,000) – (32% × $600,000) = $288,000 Increase in Deferred Tax Liability = $25,440 - $22,400 = $3040 Diff: 2 Objective: 17.3 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

36) Discuss the relationship between temporary differences, and the statutory and effective tax rates. Answer: Temporary differences do not cause the effective tax rate to vary from the statutory tax rate as permanent differences do. Therefore, there is no effective tax rate to calculate when there are temporary differences only. Temporary differences only affect the timing of revenue and expense recognition.

37) There are questions as to whether or not deferred tax assets and liabilities should be recorded. Based on your understanding of the concepts and accounting terminology, are deferred tax assets and tax liabilities real assets and liabilities? Answer: Answers will vary — but should include a discussion about conceptual framework definitions, and that yes — they do meet the definition of a true asset/liability. For example, a deferred tax asset is the amount of taxes that will be reduced in future years. It is a future economic benefit. Diff: 2 Objective: 17.3 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

38) Gustav, Inc. uses the accrual basis to account for all sales transactions. Sales for 2022 total $500,000. Included in this amount is $75,000 in receivables from sales on installment. Installment sales are considered revenue for book purposes, but not for tax purposes. Operating expenses total $150,000 and are treated the same for book and tax purposes. Complete the following: a. What is the book basis of the installment sales receivable? b. What is the tax basis of the installment sales receivable? c. Assuming a 30% tax rate, compute income tax expense, the deferred tax provision, and income tax payable for 2022. d. Prepare the journal entry to record the 2022 income tax expense. Answer: a. Since the installment sale is considered revenue for book purposes, the book basis of the receivable is $75,000. b. Since the installment sale is not considered revenue for tax purposes, the tax basis of the receivable is $0. c. A deferred tax liability is created when income tax expense exceeds income tax payable. Income tax expense is calculated from book income. Since the installment sale is considered revenue for book purposes, sales are $500,000 and expenses are $150,000, resulting in book income of $350,000. Income tax expense is $350,000 × 30% = $105,000. Income tax payable is calculated from taxable income. Since the installment sale is not considered revenue for tax purposes, sales are $500,000 - $75,000 = $425,000 and expenses are $150,000, resulting in taxable income of $275,000. Income tax payable is $275,000 × 30% = $82,500. Deferred tax liability = Asset book basis $75,000 – Asset tax basis $0 = $75,000 × 30% tax rate = $22,500 d.

Answer: Book depreciation is straight-line, computed as $720,000 price/6 year useful life = $120,000 per year. Tax depreciation is calculated based on $720,000 purchase price and MACRS percentages. Book income before tax is computed from income before tax and depreciation given in problem less book depreciation. Taxable income before tax is computed from income before tax and depreciation given in problem less tax depreciation. Income tax expense is computed as 40% of book income. Deferred tax liability is difference between (book basis asset and tax basis asset) × tax rate.

Answer: B Explanation: The tax benefit (in this case a deduction) is the largest amount of a benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The cumulative probability at $290,000 is 60%. Income Tax Expense: ($950,000 income - $290,000 expected deduction) × 38% tax rate) = $250,800. Income Tax Contingency is difference between the full and expected deduction: ($500,000 - $290,000) × 38% = $79,800. Income Tax Payable is the taxable income times the tax rate = ($950,000 income - $500,000 deduction) × 38% = $171,000. Diff: 2 Objective: 17.7 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

10) Identify and explain the steps in U.S. GAAP's approach to accounting for uncertain tax positions. Answer: Step 1 - Recognition: the company will evaluate all evidence and determine if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained. Step 2 - Measurement: the company measures the amount to be recognized based on cumulative probability computations, without considering the time value of money in the computation. See Topic 740, which followed FASB FIN No. 48. Diff: 1 Objective: 17.7 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

11) How does IFRS account for uncertain tax positions? Answer: IFRS does not specifically address uncertain tax positions. Rather, it requires firms to measure tax assets and tax liabilities at the amount expected to be paid. As such, IFRS reporters rely on standards for accounting for contingencies as guidance. Under this guidance, the company: 1. Assesses whether it has a present obligation as a result of a past event. 2. Determines whether it is probable that it will use resources to settle the obligation and if can reliably estimate the obligation.

12) Kramerica Corporation took an aggressive tax position in its current year's tax return, claiming a $370,000 deduction. The company reported $770,000 in taxable income before considering the tax deduction, and is subject to a 33% income tax rate. Tax authorities have challenged this type of tax deduction in the past and Kramerica is now concerned about the realizability of this tax deduction in the future. However, management believes that it is more likely than not that the firm will sustain the tax benefits upon examination by tax authorities. The company provides the following analysis regarding the probabilities of sustaining the tax deduction: Individual probability Possible estimated outcome of occurring $370,000 10% $333,000 12% $275,000 29% $142,000 26% $101,000 23% Prepare the journal entry to record the current year's tax provision and the liability for the uncertain tax provision. Answer: Income Tax Expense 163,350 Income Tax Payable 132,000 Tax Contingency 31,350 The tax benefit (in this case a deduction) is the largest amount of a benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The cumulative probability at $275,000 is 51%. Income Tax Expense is calculated as expected taxable income ($770,000 - $275,000 deduction) = $495,000 × 33% tax rate = $163,350. Income Tax Payable is the reported taxable income ($770,000 - $370,000 = $400,000) times the tax rate 33% = $132,000. Income Tax Contingency is the difference between these amounts or the difference between the reported and expected deductions times the tax rate.: ($370,000 - $275,000) × 33% = $31,350 Diff: 2 Objective: 17.7 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

Based on the above information, what is the implicit rate in the lease for Kataran? A) 11.48% B) 21.81% C) 14.77% D) 16.54% Answer: D Explanation: Kataran should apply time value of money concepts to identify the terms needed to solve for the implicit rate.

10) Group I criteria provide guidance to operationalize the concept of ownership and control of an asset. To meet the Group I criteria, a transaction only needs to meet one of the five criteria. List those five criteria. Answer: 1. The lease transfers ownership of the leased asset to the lessee at the end of the lease term. If the lease transfers ownership, then the lessee firm has, in essence, purchased the asset. 2. The lessee is given an option to purchase the asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For example, it might be reasonably certain that the lessee would exercise a purchase option if the specified purchase price is well below the expected value of the leased asset at the completion of the lease term. 3. The lease term is for a major part of the economic life of the asset. If the lease term provides the lessee the use and control over substantially all of the asset's useful life, then the agreement should be considered equivalent to purchasing the asset. 4. The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value the lessee guarantees to pay (that is not otherwise included in the lease payments) is equal to substantially all of the asset's fair value. The present value computation includes lease payments in the renewal periods, if any. Meeting this criterion implies that the lessee is providing the lessor compensation that is equivalent to the purchase of the asset. 5. The leased asset is of a specialized nature. An asset with a specialized nature has no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Because the asset has no alternative use to the lessor, its specialized nature implies that the lessor must have transferred control over the asset to the lessee.

Answer: 14.40% Explanation: Keiter should apply time value of money concepts to identify the terms needed to solve for the implicit rate. The present value, PV, is the present value of the lease payments plus the expected residual value which equals the fair value of the leased asset plus the deferred initial direct costs: Present Value of Lease Payments + Present Value of Estimated Residual Value = $300,000 Fair Value of Leased Asset + $25,000 Initial Direct Costs = $325,000 The number of periods, N, is 4 years. The payments each period, PMT, are $78,000. The future value, FV, is the residual value of $115,000. Using the RATE function in Excel, (=RATE(4,78000,-325000,115000,1)), the implicit rate in the lease is 14.40%. Diff: 2 Objective: 18.3 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

A) $11,612 B) $0 C) $13,180 D) $1568 Answer: A Explanation: Amortization is the difference between the lease expense for the year and interest for the year. To calculate the annual lease expense, the first step is to calculate the total payments over the life of the lease, which include prepaid and annual payments and initial direct costs. Total payments are $10,800 + (5 × $10,800) + $1100 = $65,900. Annual lease expense is calculated by allocating this amount equally over the 5 year lease life, $65,900 / 5 = $13,180. Interest for 2023 is calculated based on the lease liability reduced by the first payment of 5 times the interest rate. The lease liability is calculated as the present value of the future payments. Using Excel, the present value of the future lease payments, based on a rate of 4%, 5 periods, and payments at the beginning of each period of $10,800, is $50,003. ($50,003 - $10,800) × 4% = $1568.

Incentive made a lease payment of $10,000 on December 20, 2022. In addition, the lease agreement stipulates annual payments of $10,000, due on January 1 of 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027. The implicit rate of the lease is 7% and is known by Incentive. Incentive incurs initial direct costs of $2,000. 28) Assuming that this is classified as an operating lease, what is the amount of the lease liability at on January 1, 2023 before the lease payment? Answer: The lease liability is calculated as the present value of the future payments. Using Excel, the present value of the future lease payments, based on a rate of 7%, 5 periods, and payments at the beginning of each period of $10,000 = $43,872. The Excel formula is: =PV(.07,5,-10000,0,1) = $43,872. Diff: 2 Objective: 18.4 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

32) Assuming that this is classified as an operating lease, what is the annual lease expense reported on the income statement? Answer: To calculate the annual lease expense, the first step is to calculate the total payments over the life of the lease, which include prepaid and annual payments and initial direct costs, and reduced by the lease incentive. Total payments are $10,000 + (5 × $10,000) + $2,000 - $6,000 = $56,000. Annual lease expense is calculated by allocating this amount equally over the 5 year lease life, $56,000 / 5 = $11,200.

37) On January 1, 2022, Jones AutoWorld, Inc. leases an SUV to Mains Company. The lease term is 4 years with no renewal options and the economic life of the SUV is 7 years. The fair value of the automobile is $65,000 and Jones' cost or carrying value is also $65,000. There are no lease incentives. The lease calls for monthly payments of $800 at the end of each month. Mains incurs initial direct costs of $2,400 on January 1, 2022. The implicit rate in the lease is 5%. There is no transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term. Lease payment collection is probable. To determine whether Jones, the lessor, should classify the lease as operating, direct financing, or salestype, we assess both Group I and Group II criteria. Complete the below table and draw a conclusion about how the lease should be classified. Group I Criteria Transfer of ownership? Purchase option likely to be exercised? Lease term major part of economic life? Present value substantial part of fair value? Asset is specialized?

Met?

Explanation

Group II Criteria Present value including third-party guarantees substantially all of fair value? Lease payment collection probable? Answer: We have information to assess all of the criteria except for the fourth criterion of Group I. The present value of an ordinary annuity of the 48 remaining lease payments of $800 at a discount rate of 0.4167% per period (5%/12) is $34,738. The Excel formula is: =PV(.004166667,48,-800) = $34,738. Group I Criteria Transfer of ownership? Purchase option likely to be exercised?

Met? No No

Lease term major part of economic life?

No

Present value substantial part of fair value? Asset is specialized?

No No

Explanation

The lease term is 57% (4 yrs./7 yrs.) of economic life The PV of $34,738 is 53% of the $65,000 fair value.

Group II Criteria Present value including third-party guarantees No substantially all of fair value? Lease payment collection probable? Yes

The PV of $34,738 is 53% of fair value.

The lease does not meet the Group I or both of the Group II criteria and thus it is an operating lease. Diff: 2 Objective: 18.4 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

14) Since IFRS makes an exception for leased assets that have low values, reporters may account for leased assets with values of less than $5,000 as a rental agreement rather than recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For example, suppose a company leases a $4,800 computer for 2.5 years. How does IFRS differ from how U.S. GAAP would record this? Answer: Under U.S. GAAP, the company records a right-of-use asset and a lease liability because the lease term is greater than 1 year. Under IFRS, the company does not record the right-of-use asset and a lease liability because the value of the leased asset is less than $5,000, and it is a simple rental agreement.

26) With respect to lessees, how do IFRS and U.S. GAAP differ in the accounting treatment of operating and finance leases? Answer: The primary difference in IFRS and U.S. GAAP related to lessee accounting is that IFRS does not distinguish operating from finance leases in the same way that U.S. GAAP does. Under IFRS, lessees use the same accounting treatment for both types of leases. Specifically, IFRS uses the U.S. GAAP accounting for finance leases for both operating and finance leases. Thus, under IFRS, lessees report interest expense and amortization expense on all leases. In addition to the short-term policy election to account for a lease as a rental agreement, IFRS makes an exception for leased assets that have low values. IFRS reporters may account for leased assets with original costs of less than $5,000 as rental agreements. Diff: 2 Objective: 18.5 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

27) Nixon Manufacturing Company leased a piece of nonspecialized equipment for use in its operations from Robert's Leasing on January 1, 2023. The 10-year lease requires lease payments of $8,000, beginning on January 1, 2023, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2031. The equipment is estimated to have a 10-year life, is depreciated on the straight-line basis and will have no residual value at the end of the lease term. Nixon's incremental borrowing rate is 12%. Initial direct costs of $1,000 are incurred by the lessee on January 1, 2023. Robert's Leasing acquired the asset just prior to the lease term at a cost of $46,813. Collection of all lease payments is reasonably assured. What is the amortization of the right-of-use asset recorded in 2023 and 2024, respectively? Answer: $5,163 and $5,163. Explanation: The right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Right-of-use asset = $50,626 + $1,000 = $51,626. $51,626 / 10 = $5,163. Using Excel, the formula is =PV(0.12,10,-8000,0,1) = $50,626. Diff: 2 Objective: 18.5 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

23) How does a residual value affect accounting for a sales-type lease? Answer: Including residual values has two implications for lease accounting. First, it changes the implicit rate in the lease, which is defined as the interest rate at which the present value of the lease payments plus the present value of the amount that a lessor expects to derive from the leased asset at the end of the lease term equals the sum of the asset's fair value plus any deferred initial direct costs of the lessor. Second, the cost of goods sold is affected only by an unguaranteed residual value. Specifically, the cost of goods sold is defined as the carrying value of the leased asset less the present value of any unguaranteed residual asset plus any deferred initial direct costs of the lessor. As a result, the inclusion of a residual value guarantee does not impact cost of goods sold; only the inclusion of an unguaranteed residual asset reduces cost of goods sold.

Northern Equipment Northern Equipment leases cooling towers to Warmup Corporation. The equipment is not specialized and is delivered on January 1, 2023. The fair value of the equipment is $180,000. The cost of the equipment to Northern is $170,000 and the expected life of the testing equipment is 8 years. At the end of the useful life, it is expected that the equipment will have a residual value of $20,000, although the lessee guarantees only $15,000. Northern incurs initial direct costs of $20,000, which they elect to expense. The lease term for the equipment is 8 years, with the first payment due upon delivery, and seven subsequent annual payments beginning on December 31, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2029. Northern's implicit rate is 8% and they expect that collection of the $29,002 payments is probable. The lease is properly classified as a sales-type lease. 24) Calculate Northern's implicit rate for the lease. Answer: Because the lease contains a residual value, the implicit rate must be recalculated including the residual amount as a future value. Using Excel, the first step is to calculate the present value of the future lease payments, using the following formula in Excel: =PV(8%,8,29002,0,1) = $179,997. This value is used in a rate calculation, using this amount as the present value and the residual value as the future value. Using the Excel formula =RATE(8,29002,-179997,20000,1), the new implicit rate is 9.91%. Diff: 2 Objective: 18.6 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

25) What is the amount of the lease receivable? Answer: The lease receivable is the present value of the payments and any guaranteed residual value, using the recomputed implicit rate. Because the lease contains a residual value, the implicit rate must be recalculated including the residual amount as a future value. Using Excel, the first step is to calculate the present value of the future lease payments, using the following formula in Excel: =PV(8%,8, 29002,0,1) = $179,997. This value is used in a rate calculation, using this amount as the present value and the residual value as the future value. Using the Excel formula =RATE(8,29002,-179997,20000,1), the new implicit rate is 9.91%. The lease receivable is calculated using the new implicit rate, payments as outlined in the lease, and a future value equal to the guaranteed residual value. Using the formula =PV(9.91%,8,29002,15000,1), the lease receivable is $177,659. Diff: 2 Objective: 18.6 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

26) What amount will be recorded for cost of goods sold? Answer: Cost of goods sold will be the cost of the equipment to Northern less the present value of the unguaranteed residual value at the implicit rate. Using Excel, the present value of the unguaranteed residual value is calculated as =PV(9.91%,8,0,5000) = $2,348 and cost of goods sold is $167,652. Because the lease contains a residual value, the implicit rate must be recalculated including the residual amount as a future value. Using Excel, the first step is to calculate the present value of the future lease payments, using the following formula in Excel: =PV(8%,8, 29002,0,1) = $179,997. This value is used in a rate calculation, using this amount as the present value and the residual value as the future value.

What is Northern's implicit rate for the lease? (Round any intermediate calculations to the nearest dollar, and round your final percentage two decimal places, X.XX%.) Answer: 10.82% Explanation: Because the lease contains a residual value, the implicit rate must be recalculated including the residual amount as a future value. Using Excel, the first step is to calculate the present value of the future lease payments, using the following formula in Excel: =PV(9%,8,30000,0,1) = $180,989. This value is used in a rate calculation, using this amount as the present value and the residual value as the future value.

Answer: This lease is classified as a direct financing lease by Precision Pumps. None of the Group I criteria are met, such as transfer of ownership, likely exercise of purchase option, or specialized asset. The lease term is only 50% of the remaining economic life and the present value of the lease payments (Excel =PV(6%,4, 7000,0,1) = $25,711) represents only $25,711/$37,592 = 68% of the fair value. However, the lease meets both Group 2 criteria. The present value of the lease payments and third-party guarantees (Excel =PV(6%,4, 7000,15000,1) = $37,592) is equal to 100% of the fair value and collection of the lease payments is probable.

17) Assuming that Precision Pumps classifies this lease as a direct financing lease, prepare the journal entries for the commencement of the lease and the payment of the first and second lease payments. Answer: Commencement of the lease January 1, 2023 Net Investment in Lease–Direct Financing 22,000 Inventory of Equipment 22,000 First lease payment January 1, 2023 Cash Net Investment in Lease — Direct Financing

7,000

Second lease payment December 31, 2023 Cash Interest Revenue Net Investment in Lease — Direct Financing

7,000

7,000

6,016 984

Sales revenue and net investment in the lease are calculated as the present value of the lease payments plus the guaranteed residual. The present value of the lease payments and third-party guarantees can be calculated in Excel, =PV(6%,4,7000,15000,1) = $37,592. The Sales Revenue is the lower of the lease receivable or fair value of the asset. Revenue is $37,592. Cost of goods sold is the carrying value of the leased asset less the present value of unguaranteed residual value. Cost of goods sold is $22,000. The Profit is Sales Revenue $37,592 — Cost of Goods Sold $22,000 = $15,592. In the case of a direct financing lease, the profit is deferred and it reduces the net investment. The net investment is the present value of lease payments less the deferred profit, which equals $37,592 - $15,592 = $22,000. A new interest rate must be determined. Using Excel, the formula is: =Rate(4,7000,-22000,15000,1) = 40.1072%. Since the first lease payment is made on the date on which the lease commences, the entire payment reduces the net investment in lease and there is no interest. As a result, the balance in the net investment in lease after the first payment is $15,000. Interest of $15,000 × 40.1072% = $6,016. From the $7,000 payment, $6,016 represents interest and $984 reduces the principal balance to $14,016. Diff: 2 Objective: 18.7 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

18) How does IFRS differ from U.S. GAAP for direct financing leases? Answer: IFRS does not distinguish sales-type leases from direct financing leases. IFRS classifies leases based on whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the lessee. If the risks and rewards have been transferred, IFRS classifies the lease as a finance lease. The lessor's accounting for IFRS finance leases is similar to the U.S. GAAP accounting for sales-type leases. There are two types of lessors under IFRS: (1) manufacturers and dealers and (2) everyone else. Under IFRS, at the lease commencement manufacturers and dealers report a profit computed the same way as lessors compute profit under U.S. GAAP. Manufacturers and dealers always immediately expense initial direct costs. All other lessors do not recognize a profit at lease commencement and defer initial direct costs.

19) On January 1, 2023, Parker Corporation leases nonspecialized pumping equipment to Mason Construction. The equipment is delivered on January 1. The lease term is 4 years with no renewal or purchase options, and title to the leased asset is retained by the lessor at the end of the lease term. The lease requires annual fixed rental payments of $10,000 per year beginning on January 1, 2023, and then December 31 of each year starting on December 31, 2023. The fair value of the equipment is $41,627 and has a carrying amount on Precision's books of $28,306. The equipment has a remaining life of 8 years. The estimated residual value of the equipment is $15,000. The lessee does not guarantee the residual value, but Parker secured an unrelated third party to guarantee $15,000; collection of this guaranteed residual value and lease payments are reasonably certain. The rate implicit in the lease is 11%. There are no prepaid rentals, and neither party to the agreement pays initial direct costs. What amount of Sales Revenue is recorded at commencement of the lease? Answer: $44,318 Explanation: Sales revenue and net investment in the lease are calculated as the present value of the lease payments plus the guaranteed residual. The present value of the lease payments and third-party guarantees can be calculated in Excel, =PV(11%,4,10000,15000,1) = $44,318.

Answer: C Explanation: The total fair value of the options is the number of options times the fair value, 90,000 × $3 = $270,000. Compensation expense for the first year is 1/3 of this amount or $90,000. In the second year, we expect that only 80% of the options will vest, so the expected compensation expense is At the end of the 2nd year, 2/3 of $216,000, or $144,000 should be expensed. $144,000 cumulative amount - $90,000 recognized in the first year = $54,000 compensation expense for Year 2.

Answer: A Explanation: Compensation expense is recognized as the stock options vest. At the end of three years, APIC - Stock Options has been credited for the number of options times the fair value per option, which equals $480,000 (120,000 × $4). When the 85% of the options are exercised, the company receives cash of $8 per option times 85% exercise rate × 120,000 options. Cash 120,000 options × 85% × $8 = $816,000; APIC–Stock Options $480,000 × 85% = $408,000; Common Stock 120,000 shs × 85% × $1 = $102,000; APIC in Excess of Par-Common = $816,000 + $408,000 - $102,000 = $1,122,000 Diff: 2 Objective: 19.2 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

8) On January 1, Year 1, Axis Corporation granted employees 48,000 stock options for 48,000 shares of $2 par value common stock. The exercise price on the date of issue was equal to the market price of $23. There is a two year vesting period and the options expire in four years. Employees have the right to sell back the shares to the corporation within six months of exercise. The fair value of the options has been estimated to be $31 per option and the company does not expect any forfeitures of the options. What is the amount of compensation expense for Year 1? A) $744,000 B) $0 C) $1,488,000 D) $1,104,000 Answer: A Explanation: Because the employee has the right to sell back the acquired shares within 6 months of exercise, these options are liability-classified awards. The options have no intrinsic value, as the market price is equal to the exercise price on the date of issue. The company must recognize compensation expense equal to the number of options times the fair value, and this amount is amortized over the vesting period. 48,000 options × $31/option = $1,488,000. $1,488,000 / 2 years = $744,000 per year compensation expense.

Answer: A Explanation: Because the employee has the right to sell back the acquired shares within 6 months of exercise, these options are liability-classified awards. The options have no intrinsic value, as the market price is equal to the exercise price on the date of issue. The company must recognize compensation expense equal to the number of options times the fair value, and this amount is amortized over the vesting period. 53,500 options × $39/option = $2,086,500. $2,086,500 / 2 years = $1,043,250 per year compensation expense.

Answer: A Explanation: As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the rights is the difference between the market price of $12 and the pre-established floor of $9. Therefore, the total fair value is 15,000 rights × ($12 - $9) = $45,000. Since there is a 3 year vesting period, only 1/3 of this amount is debited to Compensation Expense in the first year. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the rights is the difference between the market price of $15 and the pre-established floor of $9. Therefore, the total fair value is 15,000 rights × ($15 - $9) = $90,000. Since there is a 3 year vesting period and this is the second year, 2/3 of this expense should be accrued (2/3 × $90,000 = $60,000). This amount is reduced by the $15,000 accrued in 2021. On December 31, 2023, the fair value of the rights is the difference between the market price of $13 and the pre-established floor of $9. Therefore, the total fair value is 15,000 rights × ($13 - $9) = $60,000. Since there is a 3 year vesting period and the vesting period is complete, Compensation Expense is the full $60,000 reduced by the $15,000 and $45,000 previously accrued.

19) On January 1, 2021, Cable Corporation issues 10,000 stock-appreciation rights to its key executives. The terms of the plan state that the holders of the rights will receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the market price of the stock on the date of exercise and the pre-established price of $10 per share. There is a three-year vesting period and the rights may be exercised on January 1, 2024. The rights expire on January 1, 2026. The closing market prices follow: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2023

$13 per share $16 per share $14 per share

The rights are exercised on January 1, 2024. What is the appropriate journal entry on December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2024? Answer: December 31, 2021 Compensation Expense 10,000 Obligation under SAR Plan 10,000 December 31, 2022 Compensation Expense Obligation under SAR Plan

40,000 40,000

As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the rights is the difference between the market price of $13 and the pre-established floor of $10. Therefore, the total fair value is 10,000 rights × ($13 - $10) = $30,000. Since there is a 3 year vesting period, only 1/3 of this amount is debited to Compensation Expense in the first year. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the rights is the difference between the market price of $16 and the pre-established floor of $10. Therefore, the total fair value is 10,000 rights × ($16 - $10) = $60,000. Since there is a 3 year vesting period and this is the second year, 2/3 of this expense should be accrued (2/3 × $60,000 = $40,000). This amount is reduced by the $10,000 accrued in 2021. On December 31, 2023, the fair value of the rights is the difference between the market price of $14 and the pre-established floor of $10. Therefore, the total fair value is 10,000 rights × ($14 - $10) = $40,000. Since there is a 3 year vesting period and the vesting period is complete, Compensation Expense is the full $40,000 reduced by the $10,000 and $30,000 previously accrued. As a result, there is no additional Compensation Expense for 2023. When the stock-appreciation rights are exercised, Obligation under SAR Plan, has a balance equal to $40,000, which will be debited and Cash will be credited for $40,000.

5) In what ways must an accountant exercise judgment in relation to stock-based compensation plans? Answer: Accountants make two important judgments regarding stock-based compensation: 1. Measurement of the options at fair value–Option pricing models estimate the fair value of the options which is used to report the compensation expense for the options in the income statement. However, even the best models provide only an estimate of the fair value of the options. Ultimately, the final decision is based upon the judgment of the accountant. 2. Estimating how many options will be forfeited is also a matter of the accountant's judgment. Companies only record the amount of the expense related to the amount of the options that will not be forfeited. Both of these judgments can be used by management to alter income in such a way that would benefit management. Management has an incentive to select an option pricing model with low option values, which will lead to lower compensation expense and higher net income. Management has an incentive to estimate high forfeiture rates, which will lead to lower compensation expense and higher net income.

17) List and explain the three methods used to measure a company's pension obligation to its employees. Answer: 1. Vested benefit obligation (VBO)–This method bases the defined-benefit obligation on the vested benefits that accrue to current employees. The employer computes the VBO based on current salary levels and includes only vested benefits. Because the vested benefits must be paid even if the plan is discontinued or the employees are terminated, the VBO is considered a termination-based obligation. 2. Accumulated benefit obligation (ABO)—This method estimates the pension obligation based on years of service performed by all employees under the plan, both vested and non-vested, using current salary levels. It only reflects current salaries and does not factor in projected increases in compensation. 3. Projected benefit obligation (PBO)—This method considers all employees, both vested and non-vested, using estimated future salary levels. The PBO considers all employees and future compensation rates. It is the largest estimate of the pension obligation. It is required by the FASB for use in pension computation.

30) How does IFRS differ from GAAP when accounting for defined-benefit pension plans? A) IFRS requires current period expensing of prior service costs while GAAP amortizes prior service costs over time. B) GAAP allows companies to add interest cost and deduct expected return from pension expense in nonoperating income. IFRS allows the net interest (from PBO and plan assets) to be reported in operating or financing income. C) GAAP requires separate rates of interest for the PBO and expected return on plan assets. IFRS uses the same rate for both. D) GAAP amortizes current year net actuarial gains and losses using the corridor approach, while IFRS does not amortize actuarial gains/losses.

31) Mega Corporation sponsors a defined-benefit plan for its employees. The beginning balance of the unamortized net actuarial gain is $250,000. The plan's custodian reports that the beginning balance of the PBO is $1,450,000 and the beginning balance of the market-related value of the plan assets is $1,100,000. The average remaining service life of Mega's pension plan eligible employees is 10 years. Compute the current year's amortization required by the corridor method and prepare the journal entry. Answer: The corridor is 10% of the larger of the PBO or beginning plan assets. Since the PBO is larger, the corridor is 10% × $1,450,000 = $145,000. The cumulative unamortized net gain is $250,000 and this exceeds the corridor by $105,000. This amount is amortized over the average remaining service life of 10 years, resulting in current year amortization of $10,500. OCI - Actuarial Gains/Losses Pension Expense

33) Explain the differences between accounting for defined benefit pension plans under IFRS and under GAAP. Answer: Accounting for defined benefit pension plans under IFRS differs from US GAAP in three major areas: 1. Under IFRS, prior service costs are expensed when plan amendments are made. Under GAAP, these costs are amortized over time. Additionally, IFRS refers to prior service costs as past service costs. 2. Under IFRS, the computation of interest on the PBO and the expected return on plan assets are combined into net interest on the net defined liability or asset. Under US GAAP, companies can use one interest rate to compute interest expense and another one to determine the expected return on plan assets; IFRS requires application of one interest rate to both. Additionally, under US GAAP, companies add the interest cost and deduct expected return from the pension expense in non-operating income. Under IFRS, companies have the choice to report the interest on the net defined benefits liability (asset) in operating or financing income. 3. Under IFRS, a company reports all current year actuarial gains or losses in other comprehensive income. Unlike U.S. GAAP, they are not amortized. Under U.S. GAAP, net actuarial gains and losses are amortized. Diff: 2 Objective: 19.7 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Analytical thinking

34) List and describe the five components of annual pension expense. Answer: 1. Service cost—Service cost is the increase in projected benefit obligation resulting from one additional year of service from employees. It is measured as the present value of the cost of providing pension benefits for one additional year of service using all employees and estimated future salary rates. 2. Prior service costs—Prior service costs represent service benefits provided to current employees on the initial adoption or amendment of an existing defined-benefit pension plan. Prior service costs increase the liability balance. 3. Interest on the projected benefit obligation–This is computed by multiplying the settlement rate by the balance of the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the year. An actuary determines the settlement rate, which is the interest rate used to compute the interest on the PBO. 4. Expected return on pension plan assets–This amount decreases the pension expense. The invested plan assets earn interest, dividends, and capital gains upon sale. Every plan has an expected return on plan assets, which is the return based on expectations for interest, dividends, and fluctuations in the market value of the fund assets. The expected return is the beginning plan assets at fair value multiplied by an expected rate of return. 5. Current year net gains and losses—There are two sources of current year net gains and losses: a) The difference between the expected return and the actual return on plan assets and b) Changes in actuarial assumptions related to the projected benefit obligation. In general, companies only amortize the accumulated amount of the net actuarial gain or loss if it exceeds the corridor. The corridor is defined as 10% of the larger of the beginning balance of the projected benefit obligation or the beginning balance of the plan assets at market related value.

Answer: Under U.S. GAAP, one pension cost components is reported in operating income and the rest are reported in non-operating income. Service cost is reported in operating income but the rest of the components are reported in non-operating income. Under IFRS, service cost is reported in operating income, because it relates to employee services received in the current year. However, interest costs and expected return on plan assets can be reported either under operating income or non-operating income (financing) activities, because it is consistent with borrowing from employees to be paid back after retirement.

25) Why does the numerator of the basic EPS formula subtract the amount of preferred dividends for some preferred shares and not for others? Answer: A more proper definition of EPS is earnings per common share. Preferred dividends for cumulative preferred shares will never be payable to common shareholders so they are always deducted from net income. Preferred dividends for noncumulative preferred shares are deducted only when declared, because if not declared, the preferred shareholders lose their right to receive dividends for that year. Preferred dividends for cumulative preferred stock are deducted whether they are paid or not because they must be paid at some point.

On December 1, Interurban repurchased 6,000 shares of outstanding shares. Compute basic EPS for the first year of operation if net income was $100,000. (Round number of shares to the nearest whole number, and your final answer to the nearest cent.) Answer: Weighted average number of shares = (90,000 × 12/12) + (60,000 × 10/12) + (20,000 × 6/12) - (6,000 × 1/12) = 149,500 shares EPS = $100,000/149,500 = $0.67 Diff: 3 Objective: 20.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Analytical thinking

30) Robertson Corporation reported net income for Year 1 of $200,000 and Year 2 of $400,000. The weighted-average common shares outstanding 330,000 in Year 1 and 120,000 in Year 2. Robertson also has 10,000 shares of $100 par value, cumulative, 5% preferred stock outstanding in both years. Dividends were not declared in Year 1, but both years' dividends were declared and paid in Year 2. Compute EPS for both years. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) Answer: For each year, preferred dividends are 10,000 shares × $100 par value × 5% = $50,000. When calculating EPS, preferred dividends are subtracted from net income when paid or required to be paid, so net income for each year is reduced by this amount. Year 1 EPS: ($200,000 - $50,000)/330,000 = $0.45 Year 2 EPS: ($400,000 - $50,000)/120,000 = $2.92 Diff: 3 Objective: 20.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Analytical thinking

31) Harrison Motors reported $600,000 net income for the current year. Beginning common shares outstanding were 120,000. Harrison also had 10,000, 6% nonconvertible, cumulative, $100 par value preferred shares outstanding for the entire year. No cash dividends were declared but Harrison did declare and distribute a 10% stock dividend on common shares on July 1. Compute basic earnings per share. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) Answer: $4.09 per share. Explanation: Stock dividends are applied retroactively to the beginning of the year, so the number of shares outstanding is 120,000 × 110% = 132,000 When calculating EPS, net income is reduced by preferred dividends paid or in arrears. [[$600,000 - (10,000 shares × 6% × $100 par)]/132,000 = $4.09. Diff: 2 Objective: 20.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Analytical thinking

Compute the basic and diluted EPS. A) basic EPS $1.00; diluted EPS $0.98 B) basic EPS $1.00; diluted EPS $1.00 C) basic EPS $0.98; diluted EPS $0.98 D) basic EPS $1.00; diluted EPS $0.67 Answer: A Explanation: Stock options affect only the denominator. Basic EPS = $200,000/200,000 = $1.00. For diluted EPS, denominator includes weighted-average number of shares outstanding + incremental common shares on exercise of option. Number of shares issued from assumed exercise × exercise price = 20,000 × $15 = $300,000. Dividing this by the market price of $20, we presume that treasury shares from presumed purchase are $300,000/$20 = 15,000 and incremental shares are 20,000 shares from exercise of options less 15,000 treasury shares from assumed purchase = 5,000 shares.

Basic EPS = $600,000/200,000 = $3.00. For diluted EPS, denominator includes weighted-average number of shares outstanding + incremental common shares on exercise of option. Number of shares issued from assumed exercise × exercise price = 40,000 × $15 = $600,000. Dividing this by the market price of $20, we presume that treasury shares from presumed purchase are $600,000/$20 = 30,000 and incremental shares are 40,000 shares from exercise of options less 30,000 treasury shares from assumed purchase = 10,000 shares. The options are outstanding 9/12 of the year, so 10,000 × 9/12 = 7,500. Diluted EPS = $600,000/(200,000 + 7,500) = $2.89. Diff: 2 Objective: 20.2 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

32) When must a firm use the treasury stock method for earnings per share calculations? Answer: The treasury stock method is used to adjust earnings per share for the dilutive effect of options and warrants. Options and warrants are different from convertible securities because they produce cash for the company when exercised. Convertible securities do not involve cash. The treasury stock method assumes that the hypothetical cash from the proceeds of exercise would be used to repurchase stock in the open market. The computation reduces the new shares by the number of shares the cash proceeds could repurchase. Diff: 1 Objective: 20.2 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

33) Describe which potentially dilutive securities require after-tax adjustments to the numerator or denominator of the EPS formula. Answer: The only potentially dilutive security that may require an after-tax adjustment is for corporate bonds. Bonds payable require interest payments to the bondholders, which are tax deductible expenses to the issuing corporation. If the bonds are assumed converted at the beginning of the year, or the date of issue during the current year, the company would not have any interest expense and would lose its tax deduction. Therefore, the after-tax interest expense is added back to the numerator of the EPS equation. The after-tax consideration does not apply to the denominator.

34) How does IFRS differ from GAAP with diluted earnings per share? Answer: GAAP and IFRS are very similar. For convertible bonds, GAAP assumes conversion unless there is evidence to the contrary. IFRS assumes that only shares will be issued to settle the conversion. There could be a lower diluted EPS for IFRS, if the GAAP computation assumes a cash settlement instead of conversion.

35) Terrell Foods reported $950,000 in net income and its weighted average shares outstanding for the year is 200,000 shares. In prior years it sold $1,000,000 of 8% long-term convertible bonds at par which are still outstanding. The bonds are convertible into 20,000 shares of common stock. The tax rate for all years is 40%. If Terrell has no other potentially dilutive securities and no preferred stock, and no conversions occur during the year, what are basic and diluted EPS? (Round your final answers to the nearest cent.) Answer: Basic EPS = $950,000/200,000 = $4.75 After-tax interest savings on bond conversion is interest expense reduced by taxes on this amount. Bond interest expense is $1,000,000 × 8% = $80,000. After-tax interest expense = $80,000 – ($80,000 × 40%) = $48,000. Bonds potentially convert into 20,000 shares of common stock, so total shares are 220,000. Diluted EPS = ($950,000 + $48,000)/220,000 = $4.54.

Loss from continuing operations for the year is $(250,000), income from discontinued operations is $100,000 (net of tax), and the weighted average common shares outstanding is 100,000 shares. Also outstanding during the year are $5,000,000 of 6% bonds convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock. The bonds also have two detachable stock warrants for each bond which allow the bondholder to buy a share of stock for $30. The average market price of Dynamic Motors stock was $28 for the year. The tax rate is 40%. Required: Write the basic equation for EPS and compute basic EPS. Using the order of entry, determine diluted EPS calculations. Show all computations to prepare the appropriate Income Statement presentation of basic and diluted EPS.

$(2.50) 1.00 $(1.50)

Diluted EPS with stock warrants: Stock warrants are out of the money and therefore automatically antidilutive. Since we have a loss from continuing operations, the convertible bonds are antidilutive, and should not be considered for diluted EPS. Diluted EPS with convertible bonds: Bonds increase the numerator by [(1 - .40) × ($5,000,000 × 6%)] = $180,000 and increase the denominator by 10,000.

10) How can managers manipulate EPS? Answer: Analysts frequently forecast a company's EPS. Company management tries its best to meet such forecasts. By manipulating estimates of some asset and expense accounts, it is conceivable to fine tune costs and income to meet the numbers. Officers and managers may have bonuses contingent on achieving forecasted EPS and they can carefully craft a strategy to receive their bonuses. They can also buy back or issue corporate shares to manipulate the denominator. Diff: 2 Objective: 20.4 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

11) Why should shareholders pay attention to the diluted EPS? Answer: Diluted EPS tells the shareholders that there is a potential for the value of their shares to decline. They should make their investment decisions with the diluted EPS in mind. If the dilution does occur, the market value of their shares will probably decline.

Overview of Accounting Changes

1) There are four types of accounting changes — principles, estimates, entities and errors. Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 Objective: 21.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

2) Retrospective changes require restatement of all periods reported in the annual report as if it had been used in those prior years. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 Objective: 21.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

3) Prospective changes require changes be made to the current year and all future years affected. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 Objective: 21.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

4) Accounting principle changes are generally handled retrospectively. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 Objective: 21.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

8) Accounting changes detract from which one of the following enhancing qualitative characteristics of accounting information? A) comparability B) relevance C) representational faithfulness D) materiality Answer: A Diff: 2 Objective: 21.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

9) Accounting changes are only permitted when ________. A) the effect is material B) adequate disclosures are made so financial statement users can restore comparability with prior-years financial statements C) the method used is prospective D) the company has not made prior changes Answer: B Diff: 2 Objective: 21.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Application of knowledge

10) Retrospective changes require all but which of the following? A) restatement of financial statements to reflect the effects of the change for each period presented B) adjustments to assets and liabilities to reflect the cumulative effect of the change on periods prior to those presented C) detailed numerical comparisons of all prior periods to restated statements D) retained earnings restated for the cumulative effect of the change on income for periods prior to those presented Answer: C Diff: 2 Objective: 21.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

11) Explain why comparability and consistency are considerations for accounting changes. Answer: Comparability is an enhancing qualitative characteristic in the accounting conceptual framework and it enhances the usefulness of relevant and faithfully representative accounting information. Consistency refers to using the same accounting methods from year to year. When a company changes methods, comparability becomes difficult because there is not a consistent application of principles. Changes in accounting principles should be infrequent and adequately disclosed so that readers understand the implications of the changes for all years presented. Diff: 2 Objective: 21.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

12) Describe the two methods for reporting accounting changes and how they differ. Answer: The two methods of reporting accounting changes are retrospective and prospective. Retrospective changes require restatement of the financial statements for all prior years affected that are presented in the current annual report. Such changes frequently require adjustments to retained earnings. Prospective changes occur in the current year and will possibly affect future years. Both methods require full disclosure of the nature and the reason for the change and how they affected past or future financial statements. Diff: 2 Objective: 21.1 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

13) Name and describe the three main types of accounting changes. Answer: 1. Changes in accounting principle, which are changes from one generally accepted accounting method to another generally accepted accounting method. 2. Changes in accounting estimate, which involve revisions of estimates used in accounting. 3. Changes in the reporting entity, which occur when a company reports financial statements that are, in effect, financial statements for a different reporting entity.

20) Johnston Controls began operations in 2022 using FIFO inventory methods. On January 1, 2023, management decided they should have chosen to use LIFO, as it more accurately reflects income. The beginning 2023 inventory using FIFO was $100,000. Under the LIFO method the beginning inventory would have been $120,000. Required: Prepare the journal entry to record the change in accounting principle and discuss the required disclosures. Answer: Ignoring taxes, the journal entry would debit inventory for $20,000 and credit Retained Earnings for $20,000. This assumes cost data is available for the LIFO method. Standard disclosures include: (1) the description of the nature of the change, (2) justification for the change, (3) the method of applying the change which is retrospective, (4) the effect of the change on income from continuing operations, net income, per share amounts, and any other affected line item, (5) a description of any adjusted prior-period information, and (6) the cumulative effect of the change on retained earnings for the first balance sheet presented. If it is impractical to obtain LIFO data, then beginning 2023 FIFO inventory becomes the beginning LIFO inventory. No journal entry would be prepared to record the change. Standard disclosures are the same for any other accounting principle change except there are no prior period information and no cumulative effect of the change on retained earnings for the first year presented. Management must still provide: (1) the description of the nature of the change, (2) justification for the change, (3) the method of applying the change which is prospective, and (4) the effect of the change on income from continuing operations, net income, per share amounts, and any other affected line item.

21) Fields Construction decides to change from the completed-contract method to the percentage-ofcompletion method of recording construction projects. It also has a compensation plan for bonuses to supervisors for three percent of net income, which are retroactive for changes in prior years' net income. Discuss the direct and indirect effects of this change. Answer: The change from completed-contract to percentage-of-completion method has a direct effect and requires retroactive application to restate prior years. It has an effect on retained earnings, construction-in-progress, and deferred tax liabilities. The change in prior years' income triggers an indirect effect in bonuses due to supervisors that are handled prospectively. Upon completion of the change in method, a current journal entry should be created to recognize the additional bonuses as an expense and current liability.

15) Peoples Corporation purchased a building on December 29, 2018 that cost $1,200,000 and occupied it on January 2, 2019. The owner estimated that the building would last 40 years with a salvage value of $150,000 using straight-line depreciation. In early 2022, Mr. Peoples learned that due to a permanent highway closure, the company needs to relocate at the end of 2024. He believes that the salvage value of the building at that time will be $800,000. Compute the amount of depreciation to record during 2022, and each of the two years thereafter. (Round your final answer to the nearest dollar.) A) $26,250 B) $133,333 C) $107,083 D) $150,000 Answer: C Explanation: Straight-line depreciation recorded beginning in 2018 is ($1,200,000 - $150,000) / 40 years = $26,250/year. Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2021 (3 years) is $78,750 and book value is $1,200,000 - $78,750 = $1,121,250. Depreciation beginning in 2022 is ($1,121,250 book value - $800,000 salvage value)/3 years = $107,083. Diff: 2 Objective: 21.3 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

23) Highland Corporation has always used double-declining balance depreciation for its equipment. Beginning in 2022, the company has decided to use straight-line depreciation for all new equipment purchases. How should the company report this decision? Describe any journal entries and disclosures that need to be made for this change. Answer: A change in depreciation methods is a change in an accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. The change in estimate is inseparable from the principle change. This is handled prospectively. No adjustments are made to prior periods and equipment in service before 2022 continue with the same depreciation method used in prior periods. Disclosure requirements are the same as those for changes in accounting principles, except it contains no changes to retained earnings, or prior periods' income and EPS information.

24) Emma's Clothes, Inc. has accounts receivable of $210,000. In the current economy, she has noticed an increase in uncollectible accounts. In 2022, her sales were $3,200,000 and in 2023, sales were $3,800,000. Before 2023, she estimated that 2% of sales would eventually be uncollectible. In 2023, Emma believes that her losses were closer to 3% in 2022. She has recorded bad debt expense of 2% for 2022. Does she need to make a retroactive correction for 2022, and should she add an additional adjustment to 2023? If so, write the journal entry for the year-end adjustment in 2023. She has already recorded 2% of sales for bad debts in 2023 for 2023 sales. Answer: Estimates frequently need to be adjusted for changes in the business environment. Emma should not make any adjustment for 2022 because the estimate was made in good faith relying on information at that time. Neither should she make an additional change from 2022 during 2023. If Emma believes that the best rate for 2023 is 3%, she should record a journal entry to increase the 2023 estimate of 2% to 3% of 2023 sales. The journal entry for December 31, 2023 to adjust the estimated expense is:

D) Warehouse 430,000 Depreciation Expense—Warehouse 61,429 Retained Earnings 491,429 Answer: C Explanation: If properly recorded, depreciation expense for 2021 would have been ($430,000 / 7 years) × 6/12 months = $30,715. As a result of recording the entire amount as an expense, net income was understated by $430,000 - $30,715 = $399,285. In 2022, depreciation expense is $430,000 / 7 years = $61,429. To correct the error, the accountant must record the purchase of the HVAC for the warehouse and associated accumulated depreciation for 2021 and 2022, as well as recognize depreciation expense for 2022 and correct the error in retained earnings.

D) Truck 240,000 Depreciation Expense--Truck (2022) 33,600 Accumulated Depreciation -Truck 72,000 Retained Earnings 201,600 Answer: D Explanation: If properly recorded, depreciation expense for 2021 would have been $240,000 × 80,000/500,000 = $38,400. As a result of recording the entire amount as an expense, net income was understated by $240,000 - $38,400 = $201,600. In 2022, depreciation expense is $240,000 × 70,000/500,000 = $33,600.

D) No entry required. The error has self corrected. Answer: A Explanation: In 2021, expenses were understated and net income was overstated by the after-tax expense of $26,800 × (1 – 40%) = $16,080. To correct the error, retained earnings must be decreased by this amount. However, correction of the error will generate a tax savings of $26,800 × 40% = $10,720, represented as a receivable.

Answer: D Explanation: Overstatement of ending inventory must be corrected by a credit for the difference, $1,200,000 - $800,000 = $400,000. Assuming that cost of goods sold was understated, then net income was overstated. The correction for net income is a prior-period adjustment to retained earnings in the amount of the overstatement of net income net of tax.

33) Bauer Corp. purchased an insurance policy on its plant with liability for harm to its employees in the case of a catastrophe in January, 2021 and paid a five-year premium for $300,000. The whole amount was recorded as Insurance Expense. The error was discovered in early 2024 when the accountants were reconciling 2023 for adjusting entries. The books are still open in 2023. (The tax rate is 40% for all years.) Income before taxes for 2021 is $1,040,000 and 2022 is $1,220,000. Required: Describe the steps to properly accounting for this error correction. Prepare the necessary journal entries on December 31, 2023. Answer: This situation is a self-correcting error that exceeds two years. The proper way to handle this is to compute the errors that occurred before 2023 and correct those with an adjustment to retained earnings. This error affects both the income statements and balance sheets for 2021 and 2022. If material in amounts, the financial statements must be restated retrospectively for 2021 and 2022 if presented on a comparative basis. To compute the errors, the following analysis is required: Correction to 2021: Pre-tax income as presented Correction of Insurance Expense ($300,000 - 60,000) Pre-tax income as corrected Adjusted income tax expense ($1,280,000 × 40%) Corrected net income

Diff: 1 Objective: 22.4 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP/IFRS AACSB: Application of knowledge

24) Contrast the differences between the indirect method and the direct method for the statement of cash flows by explaining each. Answer: The indirect method adjusts accrual-basis net income to a cash basis. This is done by starting with accrual-basis net income and adding or subtracting noncash items and changes in current assets and current liabilities, excluding cash and cash equivalents. The direct method reports the amount of cash received from various sources and the amount paid for various uses, essentially providing a cash-basis income statement for ongoing operations.

22) Tasbet Company reported net income of $400,000 for the current year. Included in the computation of net income was: Depreciation expense Amortization of a patent Income from an equity-method investment Dividends received on equity-method investment Amortization of a bond discount Paid a dividend on preferred stock

$70,000 32,000 35,000 0 15,000 80,000

What is the amount of net cash provided by operating activities that would be reported as a result of these transactions? A) $400,000 B) $482,000 C) $520,000 D) $537,000 Answer: B Explanation: To arrive at net cash from operating activities, net income is increased by depreciation expense ($70,000), amortization of a patent ($32,000), and amortization of a bond discount ($15,000). Net income is decreased by the excess of income from an equity-method investment ($35,000) over dividends received (which are $0 in this problem). Dividends paid are a financing activity. Net cash provided by operating activities = $400,000 + $70,000 + $32,000 + $15,000 - $35,000 = $482,000. Diff: 2 Objective: 22.7 IFRS/GAAP: GAAP AACSB: Analytical thinking

What is the amount of net cash flows from operations? A) $254,000 B) $258,500 C) $158,500 D) $249,500 Answer: B Explanation: To compute net cash from operations, net income is increased by depreciation expense and decreased by amortization of a bond premium as well as the excess of income from an equity-method investment over dividends received ($0 in this problem). The purchase of treasury shares and payment of dividends are not operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities = Net income $254,000 + Depreciation $50,000 – Bond premium Amortization $9,500 – Income from equity-method investment $36,000 = $258,500.

28) In 2023, BayKing Company sold used equipment for $17,000. The equipment had an original cost of $80,000 and accumulated depreciation as of the date of sale was $60,000. BayKing also purchased held-tomaturity securities for $7,000. Net income for the year was $75,000. There were no other transactions conducted during the period. 1. What is the gain or loss on the sale of the equipment? 2. What are the 2023 net operating cash flows for BayKing? 3. What are the 2023 net investing cash flows for BayKing? Answer: 1. The book value of the equipment is $80,000 original cost - $60,000 accumulated depreciation = $20,000. Since it was sold for $17,000, there was a loss of $17,000 sale price - $20,000 book value = $3,000 loss. 2. Losses are added back to net income to arrive at operating cash flows, making net operating cash flow = $75,000 + $3,000 = $78,000. 3. There is a $17,000 investing cash inflow from the sale of the equipment less the $7,000 cash outflow for the purchase of securities, for a net investing cash inflow of $10,000.
