The assets acquired in the purchase of Staff are considered to be a separate reporting unit of Line Corporation. The carrying value of Staff's investment at December 31, 20X8, is $310,000. The fair value of the net assets (excluding goodwill) at that date is $220,000 and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be 260,000. Required: 1) Explain how goodwill is tested for impairment for a reporting unit. 2) Determine the amount, if any, of impairment loss to be recognized at December 31, 20X8.
1-29
Chapter 1 Intercorporate Acquisitions and Investments in Other Entities
Answer: 1) To test for the impairment of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the goodwill of that reporting unit is considered unimpaired. On the other hand, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment of the reporting unit's goodwill is implied. The amount of the reporting unit's goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the unit's goodwill over the implied value of its goodwill. The implied value of its goodwill is determined as the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of its net assets excluding goodwill. 2) The $310,000 carrying value exceeds the $260,000 fair value, implying impairment. Implied goodwill = $260,000 - $220,000 = $40,000. Impairment loss = $50,000 - $40,000 = $10,000.

Essay Questions: 55. A cash dividend returns assets to the stockholders while reducing corporate liquidity. Why are not all cash dividends considered to be "liquidating dividends"? In your response include a discussion of how an investor accounts for a liquidating dividend. Answer: A dividend represents earnings of a company being returned to its shareholders. A liquidating dividend occurs when an investee declares dividends in excess of the earnings from the purchase date of the investment. An individual investor must treat a liquidating dividend associated with its investment as a return of capital and reduce the investment account accordingly. It is possible for blocks of stock acquired at different times to have different amounts associated with a potential liquidating dividend.

Essay Questions: 45. Consolidated financial statements are required by GAAP in certain circumstances. This information can be very useful to stockholders and creditors. Yet, there are limitations to these financial statements for which the users must be aware. What are at least three (3) limitations of consolidated financial statements? Answer: Limitations to consolidated financial statements include: 1) The operating results and financial position of individual companies included in the consolidation are not disclosed. Therefore, the poor performance or position of one or more companies may be hidden by the good performance and position of others. 2) The consolidated statements include the subsidiary's assets, not all assets shown are available to dividend distributions of the parent company. 3) Financial ratios are based upon the aggregated consolidated information; therefore, these ratios may not be representative of any single company in the consolidation, including the parent. 4) Similar accounts of different companies that are consolidated may not be entirely comparable. For example, the length of operating cycles of different subsidiaries may vary, causing receivables of similar length to be classified differently. 5) Additional information about individual companies or groups of companies that have been consolidated may be necessary for fair presentation, resulting in voluminous footnote disclosures.

46. In reading a set of consolidated financial statements you are surprised to see the term noncontrolling interest not reported under the Liability section of the Balance Sheet. Required: a. What is a non-controlling interest? b. Why must it be reported in the financial statements as an element of equity rather than a liability? Answer: a. Noncontrolling interest occurs when less than 100 percent equity is acquired in a subsidiary. It represents the fact that the parent may control but not own the entire subsidiary. The noncontrolling shareholders have a claim on the subsidiary's assets and earnings through their percentage ownership of the stock. b. Noncontrolling interest clearly does not meet the definition of a liability. ASC 810 makes clear that the noncontrolling interest's claim on net assets is an element of equity, not a liability. It requires reporting the noncontrolling interest in equity. Learning Objective: 03-03 Topic: Noncontrolling interest Blooms: Understand AACSB: Communication AICPA: FN Reporting Difficulty: 2 Medium

50. ASC 805 is related to the Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. Describe what a Variable Interest Entity is and discuss why the FASB has difficulty in prescribing when these entities are consolidated? Answer: A Variable Interest Entity (VIE) is a legal structure used for business purposes that either: 1. Does not have equity investors that: a. have voting rights or b. doesn't share in all of the entity's profits or losses. 2. Has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources to support the entity's activities. Therefore, FASB has been trying to define the Primary Beneficiary and from this lead to consolidation not just control as presumed under ASC 805.

Essay Questions 52. Peter Architectural Services owns 100 percent of Smith Manufacturing. During the course of 20X8 Peter provides $100,000 of architectural services associated with Smith's new manufacturing facility, which will open January 4, 20X9, and has a 5 year useful life. Explain the impact providing this service has on Peter Architectural Services' 20X8 and 20X9 consolidated financial statements.
Answer: Peter has provided a service to the subsidiary Smith. During 2008 the cost of the architectural services will be capitalized by Smith as part of the cost of the manufacturing facility. The profit earned on the consulting services must be eliminated in 2008 against the cost of the building. In this manner consolidated net income is not overstated. Beginning in 2009 the intercompany profit would be realized over a 5 year period. In each of the years, depreciation expense is decreased and consolidated net income is increased; as income to the controlling interests.

53. PeopleMag sells a plot of land for $100,000 to Seven Star Company, its 100 percent owned subsidiary, on January 1, 20X7. The cost of the land was $75,000, when it was purchased in 20X6. In 20X9, Seven Star sells the land to Hot Properties Inc., an unrelated entity, for $120,000. How is the land reported in the consolidated financial statements for 20X7, 20X8 and 20X9?
Answer: PeopleMag cannot report a gain on the sale of land for 2008 or 2009 in the consolidated financial statements. The land must be reported on the consolidated balance sheet at its original cost of $75,000. The intercompany gain is unrealized and is eliminated. In 2010, the entire gain of $45,000 ($120,000 - $75,000) is realized and recognized when the land is sold to an outside party.

Essay Questions 46. A subsidiary issues bonds. The parent can then acquire the bonds either directly from the subsidiary or from a nonaffiliate that had originally acquired the subsidiary's bonds. Required: a) Discuss the parent's accounting as it relates to the preparation of consolidated financial statements, for their acquisition of the bonds: 1. from the nonaffiliate. 2. directly from the subsidiary. b) Why does it matter who the bonds are acquired from?
Answer: a) 1. When the parent acquires the bonds from a nonaffiliate, the bonds were originally held outside the consolidated entity and the bonds must be treated as if they were reacquired by the original issuer. In this case the bond acquisition is handled as a constructive retirement, which means the bonds are treated as if the subsidiary had retired the bonds when the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Any gain or loss on constructive retirement should be reported in the consolidated income statement but not in separate financial statements of the parent and subsidiary. 2. When the parent purchases the bonds directly from the subsidiary the transaction is viewed as an inter-company debt and must be eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. b) When a parent acquires a subsidiary's debt it is important to know if the acquisition is direct or indirect. In case of direct intercompany debt transfer, there is no impact on consolidated financial statements. However, if the parent has to go outside the consolidated entity i.e. in case of indirect intercompany debt transfer, the impact of the transaction on the consolidated entity must be reported.

Essay Questions 36. A subsidiary issues bonds. The parent can then acquire the bonds either directly from the subsidiary or from a nonaffiliate that had originally acquired the subsidiary's bonds. Required: a) Discuss the parent's accounting as it relates to the preparation of consolidated financial statements, for their acquisition of the bonds: 1. from the nonaffiliate. 2. directly from the subsidiary. b) Why does it matter who the bonds are acquired from?
Answer: a) 1. When the parent acquires the bonds from a nonaffiliate, the bonds were originally held outside the consolidated entity and the bonds must be treated as if they were reacquired by the original issuer. In this case the bond acquisition is handled as a constructive retirement, which means the bonds are treated as if the subsidiary had retired the bonds when the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Any gain or loss on constructive retirement should be reported in the consolidated income statement but not in separate financial statements of the parent and subsidiary. 2. When the parent purchases the bonds directly from the subsidiary the transaction is viewed as an inter-company debt and must be eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. b) When a parent acquires a subsidiary's debt it is important to know if the acquisition is direct or indirect. In case of direct intercompany debt transfer, there is no impact on consolidated financial statements. However, if the parent has to go outside the consolidated entity i.e. in case of indirect intercompany debt transfer, the impact of the transaction on the consolidated entity must be reported.

Essay Questions 70. Briefly explain the following terms associated with accounting for foreign entities: a) Functional Currency b) Translation c) Remeasurement
Answer: a) Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and receives cash. The functional currency is used to differentiate between two types of foreign operations, those that are self-contained and integrated into a local environment, and those that are an extension of the parent and integrated with the parent. b) Translation is the most common method used and is applied when the local currency is the foreign entity's functional currency. To translate the financial statements, the company will use the current rate, which is the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, to convert the local currency balance sheet account balances into U.S. dollars. Any translation adjustment that occurs is a component of comprehensive income. Because revenues and expenses are assumed to occur uniformly over the period, revenues and expenses on the income statement are translated using the average rate for the reporting period. c) Remeasurement is the restatement of the foreign entity's financial statements from the local currency that the entity used into the foreign entity's functional currency. Remeasurement is required only when the functional currency is different from the currency used to maintain the books and records of the foreign entity. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, including inventories, are translated at their historical rates. The income statement items other than cost of goods sold is translated at average rates. Any resulting adjustment is taken into current period income.

74. Iona Corporation is in the process of preparing its financial statements for the first quarter of 20X9 and has asked your advice as to how to report several items. These items include the following events which took place during the first quarter of 20X9 (assume all amounts are material): 1) Iona redeemed bonds with a carrying value of $4,000,000 at a cost of $3,760,000. This early extinguishment occurred because Iona wants to issue new debt at lower interest rates. 2) Iona uses the LIFO method for its inventories. On January 1, 20X9, inventories amounted to $10,000,000, while, on March 31, 20X9, inventories totaled $9,200,000. Iona expects to replace the liquidated inventory at the beginning of the second quarter at a cost of $1,000,000. 3) Iona changed its depreciation method on $4,000,000 of its delivery trucks from the declining balance method to the straight-line method. On January 1, 20X9, accumulated depreciation under the declining balance method was $2,800,000. Had the straight-line method been used, accumulated depreciation on January 1, 20X9, would have been $2,300,000. The remaining life of the trucks is two years. 4) Iona pays its top executives a bonus at year-end of 6 percent of operating income before bonus and income taxes. Operating income before bonus and income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 20X9, was $10,000,000. Iona estimates that its yearly operating income before bonus and income taxes will be $60,000,000. 5) Iona closes its manufacturing operations in July of each year in order to make its major annual repairs. Iona estimates that the cost of these repairs in 20X9 will be $1,000,000. Required: For each of the events numbered 1 through 5, indicate how that event should be reported on Iona's income statement for the three months ended March 31, 20X9, and the balance sheet accounts effects at March 31, 20X9. Ignore income taxes.

Chapter 13 - Segment and Interim Reporting
Problem 74 (continued): Answer: 1) Iona should report a gain (nonoperating i.e., not extraordinary) from early extinguishment of debt for $240,000 on the income statement. On the balance sheet, long-term debt will be reduced by $4,000,000, retained earnings will increase by $240,000, and cash will be reduced by $3,760,000. 2) Cost of goods sold should be increased by $1,000,000, the expected replacement cost of inventory. This assumes the cost of the liquidated inventory was not part of cost of goods sold. If the cost of the liquidated inventory has been charged to cost of goods sold, then only the difference between the expected replacement cost of $1,000,000 and the cost of the inventory liquidated of $800,000 should be the increase to cost of goods sold. On the balance sheet, inventory should be reported at $9,200,000, and a liability titled “Excess of Replacement Cost Over LIFO Cost of Inventory Liquidated” should be reported at $200,000. 3) The remaining book value of the trucks is $1,200,000 and will be depreciated over two years, accounted for currently and prospectively as a change in estimate. The current annual depreciation expense of $600,000 is allocated quarterly and therefore $150,000 is an operating expense in the first quarter. On the balance sheet, the accumulated depreciation is $2,800,000 (prior) and $150,000 (current) = $2,950,000. 4) The bonus is accrued for the first quarter based upon the income of the quarter, not the estimate of income for the year. Bonus expense is 6% X $10,000,000, or $600,000, for the 1st quarter. On the March 31, 20X9, balance sheet, the liability for the accrued bonus would be reported as a current liability of $600,000. 5) Since the repairs benefit the entire year, each quarter is benefited by the repairs made in July. It is correct to use the straight-line method to allocate the repairs in the absence of any other approach. Therefore, 1/4 ($1,000,000), or $250,000, should be charged to repairs expense in the first quarter. On the March 31, 20X9, balance sheet, the $250,000 should be disclosed as a current liability and titled “Accrued Repairs Payable.” Learning Objective: 13-04 Topic: Reporting Standards for the Interim Income Statement Blooms: Understand AACSB: Communication AICPA: FN Measurement Difficulty: 2 Medium

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires publicly held companies to file periodic financial disclosures as updates of their economic activity. The three basic forms used for this updating are Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, and Form 8-K. Required: Describe the information contained in each of the three basic forms noted above.
14-21
Chapter 14-SEC Reporting
Answer: Form 10-K: Form 10-K must be filed within 60 days after the end of the company's fiscal yearend. Although the report is broken into four parts, the general format is similar to the company's annual report. Parts I, II, and III contain the financial statements, management discussion and analysis, management report on internal control, auditor's report, and condensed financial information disclosures, often incorporated by reference to the annual report. Part IV contains additional schedules and exhibits. However, Form 10-K differs from the annual report by providing specific information relevant to the security holders, discussion of any disagreements with external auditors, management compensation and major ownership blocks, and schedules detailing selected asset and liability accounts including accounts receivable, property, plant, and equipment, the company's investments in other enterprises, and indebtedness of the company and its affiliates. Form 10-Q: Form 10-Q is the interim report of the SEC. It is due within 45 days after the end of each quarter except the fourth quarter when the 10-K is issued. Part I of Form 10-Q includes comparative financial statements prepared in accordance with APB Opinion No. 28, but these interim statements need not be audited. Essentially the company provides financial statements for the most recent quarter, cumulative statements from the beginning of the fiscal period, and comparative statements for the preceding fiscal year. Part II of Form 10-Q is an update on significant matters occurring since the last quarter. These include new legal proceedings, changes in the rights of securities, defaults on senior securities, increases or decreases in the number of securities outstanding, and other materially important events affecting security holders. Form 8-K: Form 8-K is used to disclose unscheduled material events. This form is due with 4 days after the occurrence of a "triggering event". The purpose of Form 8-K is to provide public disclosure of these significant events on a relatively contemporaneous basis.

50. Smithtown Distributors acquired Paul's Plumbing on January 15, 20X8. Violet Flowers acquired Frank's Farm on January 1, 20X7. In the 12/31/X7 financial statements filed with the SEC, Smithtown included a Pro Forma disclosure and Violet did not. If both acquisitions account for 100% of the common stock of the company acquired and are considered to be material, then can both filings be considered proper?
Answer: Pro forma statements can be used to show the effects of major transactions that occur after the end of the fiscal period. The acquisition of Paul's Plumbing occurred after 12/31/X7 so it is proper for Smithtown to disclose the impact of this acquisition on its financial statements. Violet should have reported the acquisition of Frank's Farm in its consolidated 12/31/X7 financial statements.

Essay Questions 70. Apple and Betty are planning on beginning a new business. They plan on forming a partnership. Apple will contribute $300,000 and will not be working. Betty will be working full time. They plan on splitting profits equally. They approach you, as an accounting major, to confirm their thoughts. What do you recommend?
Answer: Students should recognize that partners can agree to any form of profit allocation. However, since one partner, Apple, has contributed money and Betty hasn't, they might want to consider some form of interest on the capital balance. Also, since one partner, Betty, is working full time, Apple is not, they might want to consider having a salary or a bonus opportunity for Apple.

Essay Questions 61. A partnership may be involved in “Dissociation” or “Dissolution.” Required: Describe “Dissociation” and “Dissolution.” Answer: Dissociation is the legal description of the withdrawal of a partner including the following: i. Partner's death. ii. Partner's voluntary withdrawal, i.e. retirement. iii. Judicial determination. Not all dissociations result in a partnership's liquidation. Many partner dissociations involve only a buyout of the withdrawing partner's interest rather than a winding up and liquidation of the partnership's business. Dissolution involves dissolving of the partnership and winding up of the partnership business. Dissolutions can occur: i. In a partnership at will. A partnership agreement can avoid this situation. ii. In a partnership for a definite term or specific undertaking. iii. By an event that makes it unlawful to carry on the partnership business. iv. By a judicial determination. A “Dissociation” that results in liquidation has the same end result as “Dissolution.” LO: 16-01 Topic: Dissociation Topic: Dissolution Blooms: Remember AACSB: Communication AICPA: FN Decision Making Difficulty: 2 Medium

63. Listen and Hear are thinking of dissolving their partnership. Listen has a friend who told him to complete a “lump-sum” liquidation. Hear wants to complete an “installment” liquidation. They have come to you for advice. What do you recommend and Why?
Answer: “Lump-sum” liquidation and “Installment” liquidation does not represent a choice in procedures. They represent different points in time. A “Lump-Sum” liquidation takes place when all of the affairs of the partnership can be ended at the same time and all of the resulting cash can be distributed to the partners at that time. “Installment” liquidation is what normally occurs because the partners want access to some cash as soon as possible, and all of the partnership assets have to be sold and liabilities paid. The preparation of a “Safe-Payments Schedule” can allow this to happen in an orderly manner.

Essay Questions 82. Accounting processes differ between a for-profit entity and a governmental entity. Discuss three differences between a governmental entity and a for-profit entity.
Answer: The major differences between a governmental entity and a for-profit entity include: • Governmental accounting must recognize that governmental units collect resources and make expenditures to fulfill societal needs. • Except for some proprietary activities such as utilities, governmental entities do not have a general profit motive. • Governmental operations have legal authorization for their existence, conduct revenue raising through the power of taxation, and have mandated expenditures they must make to provide their services. • Governmental entities use comprehensive budgetary accounting, which services as a significant control mechanism and provides the basis for comparing actual operations against budgeted amounts. • The primary emphasis in governmental fund accounting is to measure and report on management's stewardship of the financial resources committed to the objectives of the governmental unit. • Governmental entities typically are required to establish separate funds to carry out their various missions. • Many fund entities do not record fixed assets or long-term debt in their funds.

83. Briefly discuss the various types of governmental funds and proprietary funds. Answer: Five types of governmental funds are used to provide basic governmental services to the public. These are: (1) general fund, (2) special revenue funds, (3) capital projects funds, (4) debt service funds, and (5) permanent funds. The number of governmental funds maintained by the governmental entity is based on its legal and operating requirements. The five governmental funds use the current financial resources measurement focus. The two types of proprietary funds typically used by governmental entities are (6) enterprise funds and (7) internal service funds. Some activities of a governmental unit are similar to those of commercial enterprises. The objective of the governmental unit is to recover its costs in such operations through a system of user charges. Accounting and reporting for a proprietary fund are similar to accounting for a commercial operation.

113. The CFO of a “Not-for-Profit” hospital is making a presentation at your college. The presentation is for Business and Health-Science majors. During the presentation the CFO mentions assets being reported “above the line.” On the way out your roommate a health-science major asks, you an accounting major, to explain what the CFO was referring to. What do you respond?
Answer: Not-for-Profit hospitals report an operating performance indicator in their statement of operations. This item reports the hospital's operating activities for the period and should include both operating income (loss) for the period and other income available for current operations. ASC 958 requires that net assets released from restrictions that are used in operations to be included in the performance indicator, thus, “above the line”. This allows the reader of the financial statements to be able to identify assets that were previously restricted, held for specified purposes by the donor, that are now available for use in operations. Therefore, expenses incurred to achieve the entity's operations can be matched with the resources.

Essay Questions 41. To obtain cash quickly, DebCo. sold $750,000 of its receivables to Finco., with recourse. As the accountant for DebCo., what issues do you need to resolve in order to determine the appropriate accounting treatment? Answer: Selling receivables “with recourse” means that the debtor must accept the return of any uncollectible receivables that were transferred. ASC 860 specifies that a transfer of financial assets is considered a sale only if the transferor has surrendered control over the transferred assets. Selling the receivables with recourse does not remove ultimate control from the debtor.

The reorganization value of the assets of the emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation is less than the total of all postpetition liabilities and allowed claims. 2. Holders of existing voting shares immediately before confirmation receive less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity.

44. Briefly explain the three classes of creditors specified in the Bankruptcy Code. Answer: The Bankruptcy Code specifies three classes of creditors whose claims have the following priorities: (1) secured creditors, (2) creditors with priority, and (3) unsecured creditors. Secured creditors have liens, or security interests, on specific assets, often called “collateral.” A creditor with such a legal interest in a specific asset has the highest priority claim on that asset. Creditors with priority are unsecured creditors having no collateral claim against specific assets, who have priority over other unsecured creditors. Creditors with priority are the first to be paid from any proceeds available to unsecured creditors. General unsecured creditors are paid only after secured creditors and unsecured creditors with priority are satisfied to the extent of any legal limits. Often the general unsecured creditors receive less than the full amount of their claim.
