CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Explain how accounting makes it possible to use scarce resources more efficiently. Accounting provides reliable, relevant, and timely information to managers, investors, and creditors so that resources are allocated to the most efficient enterprises. Accounting also provides measurements of efficiency (profitability) and financial soundness. 2. Explain the meaning of “stakeholder” and identify key stakeholders in financial reporting, explaining what is at stake for each one. Investors, creditors, management, securities commissions, stock exchanges, analysts, credit rating agencies, auditors, and standard setters are some of the major stakeholders. See Illustration 1-3.

3. Identify the objective of financial reporting. The objective of financial reporting is to communicate information that is useful to key decision makers such as investors and creditors in making resource allocation decisions (including assessing management stewardship) about the resources and claims to resources of an entity and how these are changing.

4. Explain how information asymmetry and bias interferes with the objective of financial reporting. Ideally, all stakeholders should have access to the same information in order to ensure that good decisions are made in the capital marketplace. (This is known as information symmetry.) However, this is not the case—there is often information asymmetry. Of necessity, management has access to more information so that it can run the company. It must also make sure that it does not give away information that might harm the company, such as in a lawsuit where disclosure might cause the company to lose. Aside from this, information asymmetry exists because of management bias whereby management acts in its own self-interest, such as wanting to maximize management bonuses. This is known as moral hazard in accounting theory. Information asymmetry causes markets to be less efficient. It may cause stock prices to be discounted or costs of capital to increase. In addition, it might detract good companies from raising capital in the particular market where relevant information is not available (referred to as adverse selection in accounting theory). The efficient markets hypothesis is felt to exist only in a semi-strong form, meaning that only publicly available information is assimilated into stock prices.

5. Explain the need for accounting standards. The accounting profession has tried to develop a set of standards that is generally accepted and universally practised. This is known as GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). Without this set of standards, each enterprise would have to develop its own standards, and readers of financial statements would have to become familiar with every company’s particular accounting and reporting practices. As a result, it would be almost impossible to prepare statements that could be compared. In addition, accounting standards help deal with the information asymmetry problem.

6. Identify the major entities that influence the standard-setting process and explain how they influence financial reporting. The Canadian Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) is the main standard-setting body in Canada for private companies, pension plans, and not-for-profit entities. Its mandate comes from the Canada Business Corporations Act and Regulations as well as provincial acts of incorporation. For public companies, GAAP is International Financial


1-4

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

Reporting Standards (IFRS) as established by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Public companies are required to follow GAAP in order to access capital markets, which are monitored by provincial securities commissions. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is also important as it influences IFRS standard setting. Private companies may choose to follow IFRS. Public companies that list on U.S. stock exchanges may choose to follow U.S. GAAP.

7. Explain the meaning of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Generally accepted accounting principles are either principles that have substantial authoritative support, such as the CICA Handbook, or those arrived at through the use of professional judgement and the conceptual framework.

8. Explain the significance of professional judgement in applying GAAP. Professional judgement plays an important role in Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE) and IFRS since much of GAAP is based on general principles, which need to be interpreted.

9. Discuss some of the challenges and opportunities for accounting. Some of the challenges facing accounting are oversight in the capital markets, centrality of ethics, standard setting in a political environment, principles versus rules-based standard setting, the impact of technology, and integrated reporting. All of these require the accounting profession to continue to strive for excellence and to understand how accounting adds value in the capital marketplace.

EXERCISES Ex. 1-31 Effective capital allocation Explain the advantages of an effective capital allocation process. Solution 1-31 An effective capital allocation process encourages innovation, promotes productivity, and provides a platform for buying and selling securities and obtaining and granting credit.

Ex. 1-32 Stakeholders in the financial reporting environment Briefly describe the much-publicized subprime lending crisis in the United States, and identify the stakeholders and how they were affected. Solution 1-32 At the centre of this issue were securitized mortgage assets that were sold to investors. These assets were based on mortgages that had been extended to high-risk borrowers who could no longer afford their mortgage payments once interest rates rose. This led to a flooding of the housing market as borrowers walked away from their houses (and debt). The primary stakeholders were the lenders, borrowers and investors. Lenders (acting in their own self-interest) sold these investments to investors who may not have fully understood the high-risk nature of their investment. Borrowers lost their homes they could no longer afford, and investors suffered large losses due to the defaulted loans.

Ex. 1-33 Objectives of financial reporting What are the objectives of financial reporting by business enterprises? Solution 1-33 The objectives of financial reporting are to provide information 1. that is useful to investors, members, contributors, creditors and other users in making their resource allocation decisions and/or assessing management stewardship. 2. to help users in evaluating an entity’s economic resources, obligations and equity/net assets and the changes to these items. 3. to help users evaluate the economic performance of an entity.

Ex. 1-34 Entity vs. proprietary perspective Explain the difference between the entity perspective and the proprietary perspective. Solution 1-34 The entity perspective views companies as separate and distinct from their owners. e.g., corporate assets are viewed as assets of the company and not of a specific creditor or shareholder. Investors and creditors have liability or equity claims. On the other hand, the proprietary perspective holds that financial reporting should focus only on the needs of the shareholders, and is not considered appropriate. The entity perspective is adopted as part of the objective of general purpose financial reporting.

Ex. 1-35 User Needs Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page is prohibited


The Canadian Financial Reporting Environment

1 - 13

Explain why providing information to users is a challenging task. Solution 1-35 First, users have very different knowledge levels. Some users have accounting designations or have worked in the finance industry for several years. Others have limited knowledge of how the information is gathered and reported. Second, users have very different needs. Some users are institutional investors who hold a large percentage of equity shareholdings and generally devote significant resources to managing their investment portfolios. Others are credit managers at banks or credit unions who deal mainly with small business or personal loans. Still others are labour negotiators whose knowledge of financial reporting is limited to periodic reviews of financial information for the purpose of negotiations.

Ex. 1-36 Information asymmetry In markets where information asymmetry exists, there can be adverse selection and moral hazard. Explain what these terms mean. Solution 1-36 Adverse selection refers to hidden knowledge, where the capital marketplace may attract the wrong type of company, such as companies who have the most to gain from not disclosing information. Given this situation, companies who do fully disclose all information may choose not to enter the marketplace if they are aware of the presence of adverse selection. Moral hazard refers to hidden actions, and occurs as a result of human nature. People or companies may shirk their responsibilities if they think they can get away with it, e.g., not disclose negative information since they know it may be detrimental to their share price. This is a form of management bias.

Ex. 1-37 Role of Securities Commissions and Stock Exchanges Explain the role of securities commissions and stock exchanges in financial reporting. Solution 1-37 The securities commissions and stock exchanges monitor the financial statements of companies whose shares are publicly traded to ensure that they provide full and plain disclosure of material information, and to ensure that the companies may continue to list shares on the stock exchanges. Securities commissions oversee and monitor the capital marketplace.

Ex. 1-38 Standard setting Explain the relationship between Canadian GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Solution 1-38 Since the decision to adopt IFRS was made, Canadian GAAP has been continuously adjusted (converged) to mirror IFRS. Even prior to that convergence, both standards were principles based (rather than rules-based).

Ex. 1-39 Sources of GAAP International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are the primary source of GAAP for public enterprises in Canada. They are, however, insufficient to address all of the accounting issues Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

facing accountants. Explain why this is so and outline some other sources of GAAP that accountants use. Solution 1-39 Although IFRS outline the specific accounting treatment for a multitude of items, for some items the guidelines are very general. Also, the business environment is complex and constantly changing and, therefore, some items may not be discussed at all. Thus, accountants must use IFRS in conjunction with other sources like professional judgement, pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies, accounting literature, and accepted industry practices.

Ex. 1-40 SOX and standard setting After several highly-publicized accounting scandals in the U.S. such as Enron, Sunbeam and WorldCom, all of whom, coincidentally, were clients of the now basically defunct public accounting firm of Arthur Andersen, the U.S. regulators enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). Pressure was put on Canada to follow a similar course. Explain what Canada has done to make public companies more accountable. Solution 1-40 First, the Canadian Public Accountability Board (CPAB) was created to supervise accounting issues similar to those addressed by SOX. These included establishing auditing, quality control and independence standards and rules. The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) has issued guidelines/rules that require (among other things) 1. company management to take responsibility for the appropriateness and fairness of the financial statements 2. public enterprises to have independent audit committees 3. management to report on the effectiveness of their internal controls 3. public accounting firms to be subject to CPAB 4. greater disclosures, such as ratings from rating agencies, legal proceedings, payments to stock promoters, details about corporate directors.

Ex. 1-41 Challenges Facing Financial Reporting In North America, the financial reporting environment is changing at a very rapid pace. Briefly describe four challenges facing the accounting profession today. Solution 1-41 1. Oversight in the capital marketplace. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) instituted the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), stronger independence rules for auditors, reporting on the effectiveness of the financial reporting internal control system, and disclosure of a code of ethics for senior financial officers. Canada has followed suit and developed the Canadian Public Accountability Board (CPAB). As well, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) requires company management to take responsibility for the appropriateness and fairness of the financial statements, public companies to have independent audit committees, and public accounting firms to be subject to the CPAB. The CSA also requires much greater disclosures. The overall impact of these financial reforms has been to put more emphasis on government regulation and less on selfregulation.

2.

Centrality of ethics. Accountants are central in making the capital marketplace efficient and effective. However, ethical dilemmas are common, often precipitated by management bias. It is not always easy to “do the right thing.” Pressure to bend the rules, play the game or “just ignore it” are often there. There is no consensus (yet) among accounting professionals as to what a comprehensive ethical system is, and so it is up to the individual accountant to maintain a high standard of ethics at all times. 3. Standard setting in a political environment. Since standard setting is part of the real world, accounting standards often arise from political action. The stakeholders who lobby the hardest may unduly influence new or revised accounting standards. This is not surprising since many accounting standards have economic consequences. Thus standard setters such as the IASB must consider the needs of all stakeholders when creating or changing standards. The challenge is to find a balance between letting stakeholders have a say while not bowing to undue political pressure. 4. Principles vs. rules. Rules-based, prescriptive systems (such as U.S. GAAP or the Canadian income tax system) have a significantly larger body of knowledge than a principles-based approach such as IFRS and ASPE. However, there is a tendency to interpret the rules literally with a rules-based approach, possibly because it may be easier to defend the accounting for a particular item. A disadvantage of the rules-based approach is that it may not always communicate the best information to the user. The principles-based approaches are based on professional judgement, resulting in carefully reasoned application of the principle to the business facts. Since the body of knowledge is smaller with principles-based approaches, the standard setters must ensure it rests on a cohesive set of principles and conceptual framework, which is sufficiently flexible, and sufficiently detailed to provide good guidance. Other challenges are the impact of technology and integrated reporting.

Conceptual Framework Underlying Financial Reporting

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Indicate the usefulness and describe the main components of a conceptual framework for financial reporting. A conceptual framework is needed to (1) create standards that build on an established body of concepts and objectives, (2) provide a framework for solving new and emerging practical problems, (3) increase financial statement users’ understanding of and confidence in financial reporting, and (4) enhance comparability among different companies’ financial statements. The first level deals with the objective of financial reporting. The second level includes the qualitative characteristics of useful information and elements of financial statements. The third level includes foundational principles and conventions.

2. Identify the qualitative characteristics of accounting information. The overriding criterion by which accounting choices can be judged is decision usefulness; that is, the goal is to provide the information that is the most useful for decision-making. Fundamental characteristics include relevance and faithful representation. These two characteristics must be present. Enhancing characteristics include comparability, verifiability, timeliness, and understandability. There may be trade-offs.

3. Define the basic elements of financial statements. The basic elements of financial statements are (1) assets, (2) liabilities, (3) equity, (4) revenues, (5) expenses, (6) gains, and (7) losses.

4. Describe the foundational principles of accounting. (1) Economic entity: the assumption that the activity of a business enterprise can be kept separate and distinct from its owners and any other business unit. (2) Control: the entity has the power to make decisions and reap the benefits or be exposed to the losses (which are variable). (3) Revenue recognition: revenue is generally recognized when it is (a) earned, (b) measurable, and (c) collectible (realizable). (4) Matching assists in the measurement of income by ensuring that costs (relating to long-lived assets) incurred in earning revenues are booked in the same period as the revenues earned. (5) Periodicity: the assumption that an enterprise’s economic activities can be divided into artificial time periods to facilitate timely reporting. (6) Monetary unit: the assumption that money is the common denominator by which economic activity is conducted, and that the monetary unit gives an appropriate basis for measurement and analysis. (7) Going concern: the assumption that the business enterprise will have a long life. (8) Historical cost principle: existing GAAP requires that many assets and liabilities be accounted for and reported based on their acquisition price. Many assets are later revalued. (9) Fair value principle: assets and liabilities are valued at fair value— that is, an exit price—and viewed from a market participant perspective. (10) Full disclosure principle: accountants follow the general practice of providing information that is important enough to influence an informed user’s judgement and decisions.

5. Explain the factors that contribute to choice and/or bias in financial reporting decisions. Choice is the result of many things, including principles-based standards, measurement uncertainty, and increasingly complex business transactions. The conceptual framework is the foundation that GAAP is built on. If there is no primary source of GAAP for a

specific decision, then professional judgement must be used, making sure that the accounting policies chosen are consistent with the primary sources of GAAP and the conceptual framework. Financial engineering is the process of legally structuring a business arrangement or transaction so that it meets the company’s financial reporting objective. This is a dangerous practice since it often results in biased information. Fraudulent financial reporting often results from pressures on individuals or the company. These pressures may come from various sources, including worsening company, industry, or economic conditions; unrealistic internal budgets; and financial statement focal points related to contractual, regulatory, or capital market expectations. Weak internal controls and governance also contribute to fraudulent financial reporting.

6. Discuss current trends in standard setting for the conceptual framework. The IASB and FASB will continue to work toward a common conceptual framework. The project on objectives and qualitative characteristics is complete. The boards are focusing on defining elements and the recognition/measurement frameworks.

Ex. 2-55 Equitable obligations Due to the current poor economic conditions, Latimer Corp, a medium size manufacturer in Burnaby, is downsizing its Shipping Dept, and has to let go two of the employees, Jinder and Tang. Both are excellent workers and have been with the company for several years. The Shipping Dept supervisor, Jane Kowalski, goes to the company CEO to see if there is another alternative for these employees (other than termination of their employment). Jane suggests that Jinder could be retrained to learn how to operate a forklift and Tang would like to learn how to be a first aid attendant. Since Latimer always needs employees with these skills, the CEO agrees to try this. Latimer’s work force is not unionized.

What type of obligation is this? Discuss. Solution 2-55 This would be an equitable obligation, which does not arise from a contractual obligation, but rather from moral or ethical considerations. Theoretically (since there is no union contract with attendant language regarding layoffs and terminations), the company has no obligation to Jinder and Tang and could let them go without any further ado. However, it appears that both Ms Kowalski and the CEO feel a moral obligation to help the employees by retraining them. This will have future benefits for Latimer. For example, the company will not lose good workers; it will benefit from their new skills; and it will improve morale among other workers who may feel threatened by potential future job losses.

Ex. 2-56 Foundational principles Briefly explain the foundational principles of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure that underlie financial accounting. Solution 2-56 These concepts help explain which, when, and how financial elements and events should be disclosed. Recognition focuses on whether something should be included in a company's financial statements. It includes the economic entity assumption, control, revenue recognition and matching principles. Measurement relates to the "conversion" of information into numbers. It includes the periodicity, monetary unit and going concern assumptions, and the historical cost and fair value principles. Presentation/disclosure relates to how (and how much) information is conveyed to the user. It includes the general practice of providing information that is important enough to influence an informed user's judgement and decisions.

Ex. 2-57 Identification of foundational accounting principles State the accounting principle or assumption that is most applicable in the following situations: 1. A company prepares consolidated financial statements for a subsidiary that it owns. 2. The decision to remove an asset from the balance sheet 3. A large sale on account is not recognized as revenue because collectability is an issue. 4. Disclosure of the liability from a lawsuit in the financial statements 5. Preparation of monthly financial statements 6. Using the Canadian dollar in financial statements 7.

Ex. 2-58 Identification of foundational accounting principles and qualitative characteristics Presented below are a number of accounting procedures and practices followed by January Corp. For each of these items, list the assumption, principle, or qualitative characteristic that is NOT being followed. 1. Because the company's income is low this year, January switched from accelerated depreciation to straight-line depreciation. 2. The president of January believes it is foolish to report financial information on a yearly basis. She believes that financial information should be disclosed only when significant new information is available related to the company's operations. 3. January decides to establish a large loss and related liability this year because of the possibility that it may lose a pending lawsuit. The possibility of loss is considered remote by the corporation’s lawyers. 4. One of the corporation’s executives purchased a new home computer for personal use with company money, charging Miscellaneous Expense. 5.

Ex. 2-60 Fair value measurement The ongoing trend toward using fair value has both its supporters and its critics. Briefly explain arguments in favour of and against the use of fair value. Solution 2-60 Arguments in favour: Fair values are current and therefore more relevant. The cost at which an asset is carried (using the cost at which it was acquired, say, twenty years ago) may bear little resemblance to its

current replacement cost. Arguments against: Fair values may be difficult to ascertain, especially when markets for the underlying assets do not exist. Fair values may subject financial statements to a significant degree of variability in volatile markets.

Ex. 2-61 Matching concept A concept is a group of related ideas. Matching could be considered a concept because it includes ideas related to both revenue recognition and expense recognition. Briefly explain the theory behind a) revenue recognition and b) expense recognition. Solution 2-61 a) The basis of revenue recognition includes the following: 1. Revenues are inflows of net assets from delivering or producing goods or services or other earning activities that are the major operations of an enterprise during a period. 2. Recognition is recording and reporting in the financial statements. 3. Revenues are realized when goods or services are exchanged for cash or claims to cash. 4. Revenues are earned when the earnings process is complete or virtually complete. The revenue recognition principle says that revenue is recognized when performance is achieved (earned) and measurability and collectability are reasonably assured (realized/realizable). b)

The basis of expense recognition includes "expense" and "matching": 1. Expenses are outflows of net assets during a period from delivering or producing goods or services or other activities that are the major operations of the entity. 2. Expenses are recognized when the goods or services (efforts) make their contribution to revenue. The matching principle says that expenses are matched with revenues. Expenses are matched three ways: 1. When there is an association with revenue, expenses are matched with revenues in the period the revenues are recognized. 2. When no association with revenue is evident, expenses are allocated on some systematic and rational basis. 3. When no association with revenue is evident and no future benefits are expected, expenses are recognized immediately.

Ex. 2-62 Principles vs. rules based GAAP There has been much discussion about principles-based standards versus rules-based standards. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a principles-based approach. Solution 2-62 Advantages of a principles based approach: 1. Decisions are based on the conceptual framework – so they should be consistent.

Flexibility – allows for making decisions about new or unusual transactions based on principles. Allows accountants to use their professional expertise and professional judgement.

Disadvantages of a principles based approach: 1. Flexibility may result in reduced comparability between different firms. 2. Flexibility may be abused and bias may creep into decisions.

Ex. 2-63 Financial engineering Explain the practice of financial engineering and how it relates to fraudulent financial reporting. Solution 2-63 Financial engineering is a process whereby a business arrangement or transaction is structured legally such that it meets the company’s financial reporting objective within GAAP. This is often done by using complex legal arrangements and financial instruments. This produces a transaction or item that may have the form of one kind of transaction or item when the substance is something different. Enron was involved in many transactions of this type. Since the substance of these arrangements is to obscure the real nature of the transactions or items involved, they are potentially fraudulent.

Ex. 2-64 Fraudulent financial reporting Identify several factors that contribute to fraudulent financial reporting. Solution 2-64 1. Unrealistic internal budgets and financial statement focal points arising from contractual, regulatory, or capital market expectations 2.

Weak internal control and governance

The Accounting Information System

3-3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand basic accounting terminology. It is important to understand the following terms: (1) event, (2) transaction, (3) account, (4) permanent and temporary accounts, (5) ledger, (6) journal, (7) posting, (8) trial balance, (9) adjusting entries, (10) financial statements, and (11) closing entries.

2. Explain double-entry rules. The left side of any account is the debit side; the right side is the credit side. All asset and expense accounts are increased on the left or debit side and decreased on the right or credit side. Conversely, all liability and revenue accounts are increased on the right or credit side and decreased on the left or debit side. Shareholders’ equity accounts, Common Stock, and Retained Earnings are increased on the credit side, whereas Dividends is increased on the debit side.

3. Explain how transactions affect the accounting equation. In a double-entry accounting system, for every debit there must be a credit, and vice versa. This leads us to the basic accounting equation for corporations: Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders’ Equity. The effect of individual transactions on the statement of financial position can be explained using the basic accounting equation. The shareholders’ equity portion of the equation can also be expanded to illustrate the effect of transactions on components of equity such as common shares and retained earnings. Whenever a transaction occurs, the elements of the equation change, but the equality of the two sides of the equation remains unaffected.

4. Identify the steps in the accounting cycle and the steps in the recording process. The basic steps in the accounting cycle are (1) identification and measurement of transactions and other events, (2) journalizing, (3) posting, (4) the unadjusted trial balance, (5) adjustments, (6) the adjusted trial balance, (7) statement preparation, and (8) closing. The first three steps in the accounting cycle form the basis of the recording process used by most medium-sized companies on a daily basis. The simplest journal form is a chronological listing of transactions and events that are expressed as debits and credits to particular accounts. The items entered in a general journal must then be transferred (posted) to the general ledger. To help prepare financial statements, an unadjusted trial balance should be prepared at the end of a specific period (usually a month, quarter, or year) after the entries have been recorded in the journals and posted to the general ledger.

5. Explain the reasons for and prepare adjusting entries. Adjustments achieve a proper matching of revenues and expenses, which is needed to determine the correct net income for the current period and to achieve an accurate statement of the end-of-the-period balances in assets, liabilities, and owners’ equity accounts. When preparing adjusting journal entries, you must first determine how the original transaction was recorded. For example, was an asset created earlier in the fiscal year (such as prepaid rent) when the initial payment was made? If so, an adjustment for the related expense is required. Alternatively, if a statement of comprehensive income account was used initially, an adjustment may be required to set up the proper statement of financial position account at the end of the period.

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

6. Explain how the type of ownership structure affects the financial statements. The type of ownership structure that a business enterprise uses determines the types of accounts that are part of the equity section. In a corporation, ordinary or common shares, contributed surplus, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income are commonly shown separately on the statement of financial position. In a proprietorship or partnership, a capital account is used to indicate the investment in the company by the owner(s). A drawings or withdrawal account may be used to indicate withdrawals by the owner(s). These two accounts are grouped or netted under owners’ equity.

7. Prepare closing entries and consider other matters relating to the closing process. In the closing process, all of the revenue and expense account balances (income statement items) are transferred to a clearing account called Income Summary, which is used only at the end of the fiscal year. Revenues and expenses are matched in the Income Summary account. The net result of this matching, which represents the net income or net loss for the period, is then transferred to a shareholders’ equity account (retained earnings for a corporation and capital accounts for proprietorships and partnerships). Under a perpetual inventory system there are a few additional items to consider. For example, the balance in the inventory account should represent the ending inventory amount. When the inventory records are maintained in a periodic inventory system, a purchases account is used; the inventory account is unchanged during the period. The inventory account balance represents the beginning inventory amount throughout the period. At the end of the accounting period, the inventory account must be adjusted by closing out the beginning inventory amount and recording the ending inventory amount.

8. Prepare a 10-column work sheet and financial statements. The 10-column work sheet provides columns for the first trial balance, adjustments, adjusted trial balance, statement of comprehensive income, and statement of financial position. The work sheet does not replace the financial statements. Instead, it is the accountant’s informal device for accumulating and sorting the information that is needed for the financial statements.

9. Identify adjusting entries that may be reversed. Reversing entries are usually used for reversing two types of adjusting entries: accrued revenues and accrued expenses. Prepayments may also be reversed if the initial entry to record the transaction is made to an expense or revenue account.

Derivation $9,000 – ($9,000 x 4/12) = $6,000. $100,000 x 9% × 2/12 = $1,500. $20,000 – $1,000= $19,000. $1,500,000 × 2% = $30,000. (ADA balance is irrelevant). 7/12 × $6,000 = $3,500. $52,000 x 4.5% x 1/12 = $195. $60,000 x 60% = $36,000. $27,200 - $25,000 = $2,200 gain. $22,800 - $25,000 = $2,200 loss. $7,500 + $75,500 – $9,100 = $73,900. $4,200 + $65,000 – $8,900 = $60,300. $9,600 – $1,500 + $1,100 = $9,200. $12,400 + $1,500 - $1,200 = $12,700. $25,900 – $2,900 + $3,700 = $26,700. $125,200 – $10,600 + $12,300 = $126,900.

Pr. 3-78 Eight-column work sheet The work sheet and trial balance of Santos Corporation is reproduced on the following page. The information below is relevant to the preparation of adjusting entries needed to both properly match revenues and expenses for the period and reflect the proper balances in the real and nominal accounts. Instructions As the accountant for Santos, you are to prepare adjusting entries based on the following data, entering the adjustments on the work sheet and completing the additional columns with respect to the income statement and statement of financial position. Carefully key your adjustments and label all items. (Due to time constraints, an adjusted trial balance is not required.) Round all calculations to the nearest dollar. 1. After an aging of accounts receivable, it was determined that three percent of the accounts will become uncollectible. 2. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, with an eight-year life and $1,000 residual (salvage) value. 3. Salesmen are paid commissions of 11% of sales. Commissions on sales for the last week of December have not been paid. 4. The note was issued on October 1, 2013, with interest at 8%, due Feb. 1, 2014. 5. A physical inventory of supplies indicated $280 of supplies currently on hand. 6. Provisions of the company’s lease contract specify rent payments must be made one month in advance, with monthly payments of $900/mo. This provision has been complied with as of Dec. 31, 2013.

Reporting Financial Performance

4-3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Appreciate how firms create value and manage performance. A business is based on a basic model of obtaining financing, investing in assets, and using those assets to generate profits. Different industries have different business models. Even within an industry, different businesses may have different strategies for generating revenues. Some businesses and industries are riskier than others. Companies must decide how and whether to manage these risks. Managing risks costs money, which reduces profits. Capital markets demand greater returns for riskier businesses.

2. Understand how users use information about performance to make decisions. Users use information about performance to evaluate past performance and profitability and to provide a basis for predicting future performance. They also use the information to help assess risk and uncertainty regarding future cash flows.

3. Understand the concept of and be able to assess quality of earnings/information. Information quality is not the same. Some information is better than others. The conceptual framework identifies characteristics of useful information. The limitations of an income statement are that (1) the statement does not include many items that contribute to the general growth and well-being of an enterprise; (2) income numbers are often affected by the accounting methods that are used; (3) income measures are often estimates; and (4) information is sometimes biased and GAAP is not always optimal because it is a product of a political process. The concept of quality of earnings is used by analysts and investors to assess how well the reported income reflects the underlying business and future potential. When assessing quality of earnings, consider all information about a company. High-quality earnings have various attributes, as biased, this degrades the quality.

4. Understand the differing perspectives on how to measure income. There are various ways to measure income, including operating income, net income, and comprehensive income. IFRS recognizes the concept of comprehensive income but this is not recognized under ASPE. Other comprehensive income consists of a set list of items identified under IFRS essentially dealing with certain unrealized gains/ losses. Under IFRS, some of these items are recycled (reclassified) to net income and some are not.

5. Measure and report results of discontinued operations. The gain or loss on disposal of a business component involves the sum of: (1) the income or loss from operations to the financial statement date, and (2) the gain or loss on the disposal of the business component. These items are reported net of tax among the irregular items in the income statement. Related assets are identified on the balance sheet where material. Under IFRS, non-current assets are reclassified to current assets.

6. Measure income and prepare the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income using various formats. There are many ways to present the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income. GAAP lays out certain minimum

4-4

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

requirements but beyond that, a company has some leeway to present the information as it wishes. The goal is to ensure that the statements present information about performance in a transparent manner, including presenting items such that the users can see which are ordinary versus peripheral activities. IFRS allows the statement of comprehensive income to be presented in a combined statement or two separate statements. By convention, companies use what is known as a single-step method or a multiple-step method (or a variation of the two). In a single-step income statement, there are only two groupings: revenues and expenses. Frequently, income tax is reported separately as the last item before net income to indicate its relationship to income before income tax. A multiple-step income statement shows two additional classifications: (1) a separation of operating results from the results obtained through the subordinate or non-operating activities of the company; and (2) a classification of expenses by functions, such as merchandising or manufacturing, selling, and administration, or by nature (such as salary expense and depreciation). IFRS requires entities to provide information about either the nature or function of expenses. When information is presented using function, additional disclosures should be made regarding the breakdown of the nature of expenses as the latter has good cash flow predictive value. The entity should choose the method that best reflects the nature of the business and industry.

7. Prepare the statement of retained earnings and the statement of changes in equity. The retained earnings statement should disclose net income (loss), dividends, prior period adjustments, and transfers to and from retained earnings (appropriations). This statement is required under ASPE. The statement of changes in equity is a required statement under IFRS and takes the place of the statement of changes in retained earnings. It shows all changes in all equity accounts including accumulated other comprehensive income.

8. Understand how disclosures and analysis help users of financial statements assess performance. Disclosures include notes and supplementary information. They provide background and explanatory information necessary to understand the business. Investors and analysts use quality of earnings analysis to help determine a company’s value.

9. Identify differences in accounting between IFRS and ASPE and potential changes. The chart in Illustration 4-24 outlines the major differences. The IASB is planning to change the way financial statements are presented. The major statements, including balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows, will be classified according to business and financing activities. The IASB is also working to harmonize the definition of “component” for purposes of discontinued operations.

Ex. 4-72 Definitions Provide clear, concise answers for the following: 1. What are revenues? 2. What are expenses? 3. What are gains? 4. What are losses? 5. How should unusual gains and losses be disclosed in the income statement? 6. When does a discontinued segment qualify as discontinued operations? 7. How are earnings per share calculated? 8. State two examples of adjustments to prior year’s retained earnings and indicate how they are reported in the financial statements. 9. The IASB is planning significant changes regarding the presentation of financial statements. How did these changes evolve and how will financial statements likely be impacted? Solution 4-72 1. Revenues are increases in economic resources either by way of inflows or enhancements of assets of an entity or settlements of liabilities, resulting from an entity’s ordinary revenue generating activities. 2.

Expenses are decreases in economic resources, either by outflows or reductions of assets or incurrence of liabilities, resulting from an entity’s ordinary revenue generating activities.

3.

Gains are increases in equity (net assets) from peripheral or incidental transactions of an entity from all other transactions and other events and circumstances affecting the entity during a period, except those that result from revenues or investment by owners.

4.

Losses are decreases in equity (net assets) from peripheral or incidental transactions, of an entity from all other transactions and other events and circumstances affecting the entity during a period, except those that result from revenues or investment by owners.

5.

If they are material, they are disclosed separately but must be shown above "income (loss) before discontinued operations” and above the income tax provision. If they are immaterial, they are combined with other gains and losses of the period. Either way, they are included in the company's income from continuing operations.

6.

In order for a segment to be a discontinued operation it must be a distinguishable component of an entity, the activities of which represent a line of business significant to the entity as a whole and/or that are directed to a significant particular class of customer.

7.

The calculation of earnings per share is: net income minus preferred dividends divided by

Adjustments to a prior year’s retained earnings include correction of an error in the financial statements of a prior period and retroactively applied changes in accounting principles. The adjustment should be charged or credited to the opening balance of retained earnings.

The project was originally started in 2001 and consists of three phases. These phases are currently at various stages of completion. One of the key principles that underlie the proposed changes is a separation of an entity’s financing activities from other activities. Therefore, the changes are expected to result in financial statements that are classified according to financing and business activities.

Ex. 4-73 Discontinued Operations Coreaba Ltd., a private company based in Vancouver, decided to sell its Industrial Design Division. After two years of losses and heavy competition, a plan to dispose of the division was put in place. At the end of 2014, the plan was finalized and approved by the board of directors. The sale is anticipated to be completed by June 30, 2015. Other information: Coreaba's 2014 after-tax net income (excluding the results from the Industrial Design Division) was 230,000. During the year, the division reported an after-tax loss of $140,000 (revenues: $20,000, expenses: $160,000). Management estimates that after-tax legal and audit fees of $40,000 as well as severance payments of $55,000 will be required to finalize the disposal plan. A portion of these costs is expected to be offset by the after-tax proceeds of $50,000 from the sale of the division's assets. Instructions Assuming the Industrial Design Division qualifies for treatment as a discontinued operation, prepare a partial income statement for Coreaba for 2014. The statement should begin with income from continuing operations and include an appropriate footnote pertaining to the disposal of the Industrial Design Division.

Ex. 4-76 Nature versus function of expense presentation IFRS requires a business to present an analysis of expenses based on either “nature” or “function.” Explain what this means. Solution 4-76 Nature refers to the type of expense, such as purchases, depreciation, employee benefits, or distribution costs. Function refers to the business function or activity, such as production or cost of sales, selling and administrative (head office). Thus expenses would be grouped by these activities. Presenting expenses by nature is usually quite straightforward as no allocation of costs is required between functions. On the other hand, presenting expenses by function requires more judgment, as many costs would be allocated between functions, such as payroll, depreciation, and occupancy costs. However, it does give more insight into the various phases of the business.

depreciation expense relating to 2013 was overstated by $19,000. During the year, the company wrote off $62,500 in accounts receivable for which no allowance for doubtful accounts had been set up. In 2014, the company sold old equipment for $160,000. The equipment had a net book value of $120,000. During the year, Dalmatian disposed of one its subsidiaries.

The company made a payment of $400,000 to settle a lawsuit. The lawsuit related to a 2012 event which the company lawyers had been working on since that time. Based on the lawyers’ advice, no contingent liability had been set up.

Instructions In good form, prepare a partial 2014 income statement for Dalmatian, taking into account the effects (if any) of the above items.

Financial Position and Cash Flows

5-3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the statement of financial position and statement of cash flows from a business perspective. It is important to understand how users of financial statements use the statement of financial position and the cash flow statement. For example, potential investors in a company may use the statement of financial position to analyze a company’s liquidity and solvency in order to assess risk of investing. In addition, the statement of financial position provides details about the company’s financial structure. Users may use a company’s statement of cash flows to assess its earnings quality and obtain information about its operating, investing, and financing activities.

2. Identify the uses and limitations of a statement of financial position. The statement of financial position provides information about the nature and amounts of investments in enterprise resources, obligations to creditors, and the owners’ equity in net resources. The statement of financial position contributes to financial reporting by providing a basis for (1) calculating rates of return, (2) evaluating the enterprise’s capital structure, and (3) assessing the enterprise’s liquidity, solvency, and financial flexibility. The limitations of a statement of financial position are as follows: (1) The statement of financial position often does not reflect current value, because accountants have adopted a historical cost basis in valuing and reporting many assets and liabilities. (2) Judgements and estimates must be used in preparing a statement of financial position. The collectibility of receivables, the saleability of inventory, and the useful life of long-term tangible and intangible assets are difficult to determine. (3) The statement of financial position leaves out many items that are of financial value to the business but cannot be recorded objectively, such as its human resources, customer base, and reputation.

3. Identify the major classifications of a statement of financial position. The statement of financial position’s general elements are assets, liabilities, and equity. The major classifications within the statement of financial position on the asset side are current assets; investments; property, plant, and equipment; intangible assets; and other assets. The major classifications of liabilities are current and long-term liabilities. In a corporation, owners’ equity is generally classified as shares, contributed surplus, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income.

4. Prepare a classified statement of financial position. The most common format lists liabilities and shareholders’ equity directly below assets on the same page.

5. Identify statement of financial position information that requires supplemental disclosure. Five types of information are normally supplemental to account titles and amounts presented in the statement of financial position. (1) Contingencies: Material events that have an uncertain outcome. (2) Accounting policies: Explanations of the valuation methods that are used or the basic assumptions that are made for inventory valuation, amortization methods, investments in subsidiaries, and so on. (3) Contractual situations: Explanations of certain restrictions or covenants that are attached to specific assets or, more likely, to liabilities. (4) Additional information: Clarification by giving more detail about the composition of statement of

Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page is prohibited


5-4

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

financial position items. (5) Subsequent events: Events that happen after the date of the statement of financial position.

6. Identify major disclosure techniques for the statement of financial position. There are four methods of disclosing pertinent information in the statement of financial position: (1) Parenthetical explanations: Additional information or description is often provided by giving explanations in parentheses that follow the item. (2) Notes: Notes are used if additional explanations or descriptions cannot be shown conveniently as parenthetical explanations. (3) Cross-reference and contra items: A direct relationship between an asset and a liability is crossreferenced on the statement of financial position. (4) Supporting schedules: Often a separate schedule is needed to present more detailed information about certain assets or liabilities because the statement of financial position provides just a single summary item.

7. Indicate the purpose and identify the content of the statement of cash flows. The main purpose of a statement of cash flows is to provide relevant information about an enterprise’s cash receipts and cash payments during a period. Reporting the sources, uses, and net increase or decrease in cash lets investors, creditors, and others know what is happening to a company’s most liquid resource. Cash receipts and cash payments during a period are classified in the statement of cash flows into three different activities: (1) Operating activities: Involve the cash effects of transactions that enter into the determination of net income. (2) Investing activities: Include making and collecting loans and acquiring and disposing of investments (both debt and equity) and property, plant, and equipment. (3) Financing activities: Involve liability and owners’ equity items and include (a) obtaining capital from owners and providing them with a return on their investment and (b) borrowing money from creditors and repaying the amounts borrowed.

8. Prepare a statement of cash flows using the indirect method. This involves determining cash flows from operations by starting with net income and adjusting it for noncash activities, such as changes in accounts receivable (and other current asset/liability) balances, depreciation, and gains/losses. It is important to look carefully at prior years’ operating activities that might affect cash this year, such as cash collected this year from last year’s credit sales and cash spent this year for last year’s accrued expenses. The cash flows from investing and financing activities can then be determined by analyzing changes in statement of financial position accounts and the cash account.

9. Understand the usefulness of the statement of cash flows. Creditors examine the statement of cash flows carefully because they are concerned about being paid. The amount of net cash flow provided by operating activities in relation to the company’s liabilities is helpful in making this assessment. In addition, measures such as a free cash flow analysis provide creditors and shareholders with a better picture of the company’s financial flexibility.

10. Identify differences in accounting between ASPE and IFRS. Illustration 5-24 outlines the major differences in how both sets of standards account for and present items on the statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. Both sets of standards largely require that the same statement of financial position elements be presented. In addition, IFRS requires

Financial Position and Cash Flows

5-5

presentation of biological assets, investment properties, and provisions. The statement of cash flow presentation requirements are similar.

11. Identify the significant changes planned by the IASB regarding financial statement presentation. The IASB has been planning to change the way financial statements are presented by issuing a new standard. However, the project was paused in 2011 “until the IASB concludes its ongoing deliberations about its future work plan.” The major statements, including statement of financial position, income statement, and statement of cash flows, are expected to be classified according to business and financing activities.

Derivation $41,000 + $7,000 + $10,000 + $27,000 + $1,500 = $86,500 $675,000 + [$2,895,000 – ($90,000 x 4)] + $2,385,000 = $5,595,000 Note the adjusted income tax expense will be $798,000 [($12,360,000 – $10,080,000) x 35%] = $798,000. When the expense is reduced by $581,000 ($1,379,000 – $798,000 = $581,000) the liability will also be reduced by the same amount to $103,000 $1,981,000 + $103,000) + $30,000 = $2,114,000 $4,650,000 + $12,360,000 – $10,080,000 – $798,,000 (income tax exp)) = $6,132,000 Conceptual Conceptual Conceptual Conceptual Conceptual Conceptual Conceptual

EXERCISES Ex. 5-55 Definitions Provide clear, concise answers for the following: 1. Explain the merits of classified financial statements. 2. What are financial instruments? 3. What are inventories? 4. What are other assets? 5. What statement of financial position information requires supplemental disclosure? 6. Explain the purpose of the statement of cash flows. 7. Explain the concept of free cash flow. Solution 5-55 1. Classification of financial statements increases their information content. This is accomplished through the grouping of items with similar characteristics and separating items with different characteristics. 2.

Financial instruments are contracts between two or more parties that create financial assets for one party and a financial liability or equity instrument for the other and include cash, the right to receive cash or another financial instrument, and investments in other companies.

3.

Inventories are assets that are held for sale in the ordinary course of business, in the process of production for such sale, or in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of service.

4.

“Other assets” includes assets that are not included anywhere else. They commonly include items such as noncurrent receivables and assets in special funds and require the disclosure of sufficient detail.

5.

Supplemental disclosure is required for contingencies, accounting policies, contractual situations, and subsequent events. Additional information is also required for many individual statement of financial position items.

6.

The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to allow users to assess an entity's capacity to generate cash and cash equivalents and its needs for cash resources. The statement identifies the sources of cash inflows and uses of cash during the period.

7.

Free cash flow can be defined as a measure of a company's level of financial flexibility and is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures and dividends.

Ex. 5-56 Terminology In the space provided at the right, write the word or phrase that is defined or indicated. 1.

A company's ability to take effective actions to alter the amounts and timing of cash flows so it can respond to unexpected needs and opportunities.

Note 1. The reserve for contingencies has been created by charges to earned surplus and has been established to provide a cushion for future uncertainties. Note 2. The inventory account includes only items physically present at the main plant and warehouse. Items located at the company's branch sales office, amounting to $30,000, are excluded since the company has consistently followed this procedure for many years. Solution 5-67 1. The heading should be at a specific date rather than for a period of time. 2.

“Fixed Assets – Tangible” and “Reserve for Depreciation” is poor terminology; should be Property, Plant and Equipment and Accumulated Depreciation.

3.

Land and buildings should be segregated into two accounts. The Accumulated Depreciation account should only be reported for the buildings.

4.

Plant site held for future use should be shown in the Investments section.

5.

Popular practice lists current assets first; as well, current assets are usually listed in order of liquidity. Factory supplies should be shown as a current asset.

6.

Treasury stock is not an asset, but a deduction from shareholders’ equity.

7.

Notes receivable should be reported as a current asset or an investment.

8.

The deferred charge items should be reclassified as follows: Advances to salespersons—current asset Prepaid rent—current asset Returnable containers—current asset

9.

Allowance for doubtful accounts should be shown as a contra account to accounts receivable.

10. Common stock dividend distributable should be shown in shareholders’ equity. 11. The debenture bonds should be shown on a separate line. 12. Earned surplus is poor terminology. The term "retained earnings" is more appropriate. 13. Other Accumulated Past Earnings is poor terminology. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income is the term required by IFRS.

14. “Dividends paid” title is a misnomer. It probably is a “dividends declared” item that should be close to retained earnings. 15. No reference in the body of the statement is made to the notes. The order of the notes is wrong. 16. Note 2 indicates that the inventory account is understated by $30,000. 17. Specific identification and description of all significant accounting principles and methods that involve selection from among alternatives and/or those that are peculiar to a given industry should be disclosed in the annual report.

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the economics and legalities of selling transactions from a business perspective. It is critical to understand a transaction from a business perspective before attempting to account for it. The analysis should begin with what is being sold to the customer (goods or services) and note also the nature and amount of the consideration. When one party is in a better bargaining position than the other, it may be able to negotiate concessions such as more lenient payment terms. These concessions often complicate the accounting as they introduce measurement uncertainty in many cases. Selling transactions are based on contractual arrangements between a buyer and a seller. Contracts create rights and obligations under law that must be considered when accounting for the transactions. In addition to contractual law, rights and obligations may exist under other forms of the law, such as common law or contract law. These should also be considered.

2. Analyze and determine whether a company has earned revenues. Under current accounting standards, the revenues are earned when the risks and rewards of ownership are passed or when the company has done what it said it would do to be entitled to the revenues. Where sale of goods are involved, legal title and possession provide evidence of this. The accounting is more complex when the contract is a long-term contract and when it involves both goods and services. The percentage-of-completion method is commonly used for long-term contracts. The completed contract method is used under ASPE and although IFRS does not mention this method, it is acceptable to recognize revenues at the end of a contract if there is one significant event. IFRS requires the zero-profit method where the outcome is not determinable.

3. Discuss issues relating to measurement and measurement uncertainty. Under accrual accounting, revenue may only be recognized when reliably measurable. There are many reasons that measurement uncertainty exists including inability to reliably measure the revenue itself (for example, barter transactions or price protection clauses) and inability to measure costs or uncertainty relating to the outcome of the contract itself (contingencies). In the latter case, extreme uncertainty may indicate that the contract or business deal has not yet been completed. Where the sale involves more than one element (such as goods and services), then the selling price must be allocated to the respective parts of the sale using an allocation method such as the relative fair value method or residual method.

4. Understand how to account for sales where there is collection uncertainty. Collectibility issues also create measurement uncertainty and must be considered when recognizing and measuring sales transactions. When collectibility cannot be assured and/or the related revenue is not measurable in terms of collection or credit risk, then no sale is booked.

5. Prepare journal entries for consignment sales and long-term contracts. Under consignment sales, the risks and rewards remain with the seller and, therefore, revenues are not recognized until the goods are sold to a third party. Special accounts separate inventory on consignment.

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

To apply the percentage-of-completion method to long-term contracts, a basis is needed for measuring the progress toward completion at particular interim dates. One of the most popular input measures that is used to determine the progress toward completion is the cost-to-cost basis. Using this basis, the percentage of completion is measured by comparing costs incurred to date with the most recent estimate of the total costs to complete the contract. The percentage of the total estimated costs that the costs incurred amount to is applied to the total revenue or the estimated total gross profit on the contract to arrive at the revenue or the gross profit amounts to be recognized to date. Under the completed contract method, revenue and gross profit are recognized only when the contract is completed. Costs of long-term contracts in process and current billings are accumulated, but there are no interim charges or credits to income statement accounts for revenues, costs, and gross profit. The annual entries to record costs of construction, progress billings, and collections from customers would be identical to those for the percentage-of-completion method, with one significant exception: revenue and gross profit are not recognized until the end of the contract. The zero profit method (IFRS) is used when the outcome of the contract is not determinable. Recoverable revenues equal to cost are recognized.

6. Understand how to present sales transactions in the income statement and prepare basic disclosures. Transactions where the seller is acting as a principal in the sale should be accounted for on a gross basis. Where the seller is acting as an agent (putting buyers and sellers together), the transaction should be booked on a net basis. Consideration should be given to whether the seller has the risks and rewards of ownership of the product being sold. Transactions are treated as revenues when they relate to the entity’s ordinary activities. They are treated as gains when they deal with ancillary activities. In general, revenues and gains are booked to net income except in very limited circumstances.

7. Discuss current trends in standard setting for revenue recognition including the contract-based approach. IASB and FASB are currently studying a new model for revenue recognition: the contract-based model, which is felt to be conceptually superior.

8. Identify differences in accounting between ASPE and IFRS. The main differences are identified in the chart in Illustration 6-25.

EXERCISES Ex. 6-67 Concessionary terms Explain what concessionary terms are, and give four examples. Solution 6-67 Concessionary terms are terms that are more favourable than normal. This is often seen when supply exceeds demand, and the buyer can negotiate a better deal than usual. Examples include: 1. Deep discounts on selling price 2. Looser credit policy (e.g. giving the customer a longer period to pay) 3. Extended trial periods, with the sale subject to customer acceptance after the trial period 4. Seller provides ongoing or additional services that are beyond normal practice 5. Extended warranties or free warranties 6. More lenient (looser) return policies than normal

Ex. 6-68 Definitions Provide clear, concise answers for the following: 1. Explain the conceptual difference between the earnings approach and the contract-based approach to accounting for revenues. 2. How is revenue recognized under the earnings approach? 3. How is revenue recognized under the contract-based approach? 4. How are sales accounted for in the presence of collection and measurement uncertainty? 5. What are the two main methods to account for long-term construction projects allowed under ASPE? 6. Why is it important to understand the business perspective of selling transactions? 7. Explain the term onerous contracts and its implications. Solution 6-68 1. The earnings approach focuses on the earnings process itself and how value is added. The contract-based approach focuses on the creation of contractual rights and obligations that are created by sales contracts. 2.

Under the earnings approach, revenue is recognized when performance is substantially complete, the transaction can be measured, and collection is reasonably assured.

3.

Under the contract-based approach, the net contract position is initially recognized (through assets and corresponding liabilities) when the contract has been entered into. Revenue is subsequently recognized as the contract obligations are fulfilled.

4.

In the absence of reasonable expectation of collection and/or ability to measure the related revenue, sales should not be booked.

5.

The two main methods allowed under ASPE are the percentage-of-completion and the completed-contract methods.

Ex. 6-70 Comparison of accounting methods for long-term contracts Compare the percentage-of-completion and completed-contract methods. Solution 6-70 The percentage-of-completion method recognizes revenue before completion of the project. A major advantage of this method is that the contractors' revenue stream is not distorted. However, the reliance on estimates, rather than on actual numbers, is a disadvantage. This method conforms to the earnings-based view of revenue recognition. Under the completed contract method, revenue recognition is deferred until the completion of the project. A major advantage of this method is the use of actual numbers, rather than estimates. A major disadvantage is the distortion of income, as no revenue is recognized during the contract. This method does not conform to the earnings-based view of revenue recognition.

Ex. 6-71 Bundled sales Loon Inc., a software company sells new accounting software and user support bundled together. The fair value of the software is $1,500 and the fair value of the user support is $500. The user support is valid for a period of 12 months from the date of software purchase. To be able to compete with a competitor's offering, Loon decided to sell the bundle at a discount for $1,800. During its first month of sales, 100 units of this software bundle were sold at the discounted price, and expenses were $50,000. Instructions a) Calculate the sale price that should be allocated to each component of the bundle using the relative fair value method. b) Calculate the sale price that should be allocated to each component of the bundle using the residual value method. c) Assuming that the relative fair value method is used and income tax rate is 30%, calculate the net income applicable to Loon's first month of sales.

The term of the contract is 3 years. Situation 3: Lark sold equipment that includes a one-year warranty. The individual fair values of the equipment and warranty components are readily available. Instructions For each situation, explain how revenue should be recognized under the earnings approach. Be sure to include your reasoning. Solution 6-80 Situation 1: As the risks and rewards presumably remain with the seller (Lark), and this appears to be a consignment situation, an actual sale does not occur until the goods are sold to a third party. As a result, revenue should not be recognized before that time. The commission, as well as any other related expenses, would also be recognized at that time. Situation 2: Assuming Lark can ascertain any direct costs relating to the contract, measurement does not appear to be at issue. However, the customer's credit-worthiness is a concern, and may require that revenue recognition be delayed until payment is received. Situation 3: Assuming collectibility and measurement are not an issue, Lark should recognize all revenues that are attributable to the equipment components. The recognition of revenues related to the warranty components would be delayed until earned (as the service is provided).

Cash and Receivables

7-3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand cash and accounts receivable from a business perspective. Companies often have a significant amount of accounts receivable, which requires time and effort to manage and control. Companies strive to ensure that their collection policy is restrictive enough to minimize large losses in the form of uncollectible accounts receivable, while not being so restrictive that it interferes with the ability to attract new customers. Typical accounts receivable related categories include trade receivables, loans receivable, and nontrade receivables (including items like interest receivable and amounts due from officers and advances to employees).

2. Define financial assets, and identify items that are considered cash and cash equivalents and how they are reported. Financial assets are a major type of asset defined as cash, a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset, an equity holding in another company, or a contractual right to exchange financial instruments under potentially favourable conditions. To be reported as cash, an asset must be readily available to pay current obligations and not have any contractual restrictions that would limit how it can be used in satisfying debts. Cash consists of coins, currency, and available funds on deposit at a bank. Negotiable instruments such as money orders, certified cheques, cashier’s cheques, personal cheques, and bank drafts are also viewed as cash. Savings accounts are usually classified as cash. Cash equivalents include highly liquid short-term investments (that is, those maturing three months or less from the date of purchase) that can be exchanged for known amounts of cash and have an insignificant chance of changing in value. Examples include treasury bills, commercial paper, and money-market funds. In certain circumstances, temporary bank overdrafts may be deducted in determining the balance of cash and cash equivalents. Cash is reported as a current asset in the statement of financial position, with foreign currency balances reported at their Canadian dollar equivalent at the date of the statement of financial position. The reporting of other related items is as follows: (1) Restricted cash: Legally restricted deposits that are held as compensating balances against short-term borrowing are stated separately in Current Assets. Restricted deposits held against long-term borrowing arrangements are separately classified in non-current assets either in Investments or Other Assets. (2) Bank overdrafts: These are reported in the Current Liabilities section and may be added to the amount reported as accounts payable. (3) Cash equivalents: This item is often reported together with cash as “cash and cash equivalents”.

3. Define receivables and identify the different types of receivables from an accounting perspective. Receivables are claims held against customers and others for money, goods, or services. Most receivables are financial assets. The receivables are described in the following ways: (1) current or non-current; (2) trade or nontrade; and (3) accounts receivable or notes or loans receivable.

4. Account for and explain the accounting issues related to the recognition and measurement of accounts receivable. The entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the accounts receivable financial instrument only when it has a legal claim to receive cash or other financial assets. Therefore the timing of recognition of accounts receivable is intertwined with the timing of recognition of revenue as was discussed in Chapter 6. For most companies when the sale is recognized, either cash is received (realized) or an account receivable is recognized. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.

Two issues that may complicate the measurement of accounts receivable are (1) the availability of discounts (trade and cash discounts) and (2) the length of time between the sale and the payment due dates (the interest element). Ideally, receivables should be measured initially at their fair value, which is their present value (discounted value of the cash to be received in the future). Receivables that are created by normal business transactions and are due in the short term are excluded from present value considerations.

5. Account for and explain the accounting issues related to the impairment in value of accounts receivable. Short-term receivables are reported at their net realizable value—the net amount that is expected to be received in cash, which is not necessarily the amount that is legally receivable. Determining net realizable value requires estimating uncollectible receivables and any future returns or allowances and discounts that are expected to be taken. The adjustments to the asset account also affect the income statement amounts of bad debt expense, sales returns and allowances, and sales discounts. The assessment of impairment is usually based on an aged accounts receivable report, with higher percentages of uncollectible accounts indicated for older amounts outstanding. Even if a company estimates bad debt expense each period as a percentage of sales, the accounts receivable at the date of the statement of financial position are analyzed to ensure the balance in the allowance account is appropriate.

6. Account for and explain the accounting issues related to the recognition and measurement of short-term notes and loans receivable. The accounting issues related to short-term notes receivable are identical to those of accounts receivable. However, because notes always contain an interest element, interest income must be properly recognized. Notes receivable either bear interest on the face amount (interest-bearing) or have an interest element that is the difference between the amount lent and the maturity value (non–interest-bearing).

7. Account for and explain the accounting issues related to the recognition and measurement of long-term notes and loans receivable. Long-term notes and loans receivable are recognized initially at their fair value (the present value of the future cash flows) and subsequently at their amortized cost. Transaction costs are capitalized. This requires amortizing any discount if the item was issued at less than its face value, or any premium if it was issued for an amount greater than its face value, using the effective interest method. The straight-line method may be used under ASPE. Amortization of the discount (or premium) results in a reduction of (or increase in) interest income below (or above) the cash amount received.

8. Account for and explain the basic accounting issues related to the derecognition of receivables. To accelerate the receipt of cash from receivables, the owner may transfer the receivables to another entity for cash. The transfer of receivables to a third party for cash may be done in one of two ways: (1) Secured borrowing: the creditor requires the debtor to designate or pledge receivables as security for the loan. (2) Sale (factoring or securitization) of receivables: Factors are finance companies or banks that buy receivables from businesses and then collect the remittances directly from the customers. Securitization is the transfer of receivables to a special purpose entity that is mainly financed by highly rated debt instruments. In many cases, transferors have some continuing involvement with the receivables they sell. A financial components approach is used to record this type of transaction: this approach breaks the receivables down into a variety of asset and liability components, and the sold components are derecognized and accounted for separately from the retained ones.

9. Explain how receivables and loans are reported and analyzed. Disclosure of receivables requires that valuation accounts be appropriately offset against receivables, that the receivables be appropriately classified as current or noncurrent, and that pledged or designated receivables be identified. As financial instruments, specific disclosures are required for receivables so that users can determine their significance to the company’s financial position and performance and can assess the nature and extent of associated risks and how these risks are managed and measured. Private entities require less disclosure than those reporting under IFRS. Receivables are analyzed in terms of their turnover and age (number of days outstanding), and in terms of relative changes in the related sales, receivables, and allowance accounts.

10. Identify differences in accounting between accounting standards for private enterprises (ASPE) and IFRS, and what changes are expected in the near future. The two sets of standards are very similar, with minor differences relating to what is included in cash equivalents. ASPE does not require use of the effective interest method, whereas IFRS does for financial asset investments that are not held for trading purposes. Impairment provisions and derecognition of financial assets are two issues that remain under study by IFRS; the eventual resolution may generate additional differences in the near future.

EXERCISES Ex. 7-60 Definitions Provide clear, concise answers for the following: 1. What are cash and cash equivalents and how are they reported? 2. What are receivables and how are they reported? 3. How are receivables measured? 4. How are impairments relating to uncollectible receivables accounted for? 5. How can receivables be “converted” to cash prior to their collection from customers? 6. How are receivables analyzed? 7. Identify the main differences between private entity GAAP and IFRS with respect to the accounting for receivables? Solution 7-60 1. Cash and cash equivalents are financial assets. Cash consists of coins, currency and available funds on deposit at a bank, as well as negotiable instruments. Cash equivalents are highly liquid short-term investments that can be exchanged for known amounts of cash. Together they are usually reported as a current asset, “cash and cash equivalents,” in the statement of financial position, unless the funds are restricted or otherwise encumbered. 2.

Receivables are claims against customers and others for cash or other financial assets. They are classified according to their nature as trade, non-trade and accounts receivable (or notes receivable). Current receivables are expected to be collected within one year or during the current operating cycle, whichever is longer.

3.

Receivables are initially measured at their fair value (i.e., their present value rather than their future value) with interest recognized as the future value is reached at collection. This principle however is generally not applied to short term receivables, as the interest element is usually not material when compared with the net income for the period.

4.

The potential impairment is assessed based on management’s estimate of uncollectible accounts. This is commonly accomplished through a review of aged receivables, with special consideration given to older items. Based on that review, the allowance for doubtful accounts is then adjusted to reduce the value of gross receivables accordingly. Companies often use a mix of procedures whereby bad debts are initially estimated based on a percentage of sales and are then adjusted based on the aged receivables report.

5.

This can be accomplished through a secured borrowing arrangement or through the sale of the underlying receivables. In secured borrowing, the receivables are merely used as collateral for a loan. In a sale, the receivables are either sold outright to “factors” or “securitized” whereby the seller usually retains some involvement.

6.

Receivables are analyzed in terms of their turnover, age and change relative to related accounts. A key ratio used by analysts is the receivables turnover ratio. It is calculated by dividing net sales by average net receivables outstanding and is a measurement of the liquidity of a company’s receivables.

7.

The two standards are for the most part very similar. Differences include the disclosure requirements, which are more extensive under IFRS, and the use of the effective interest

Ex. 7-67 Accounts receivable analysis and securitization Discuss why adjustments might have to be made and caution has to be exercised when analysing accounts receivable due to the increased use of securitization transactions. Solution 7-67 Securitization is a financing transaction, so the cash flows are actually from financing, not from operations. When the company has engaged in securitization transactions, adjustments would have to be made to receivables on the statement of financial position for accounts sold but not yet collected. These adjustments would be required before you could assess ratios such as receivables turnover and days sales uncollected. Liquidity ratios would also be affected. The sheer complexity of these transactions requires that the analyst exercise caution and read carefully all disclosures related to securitizations.

Ex. 7-68 Reconciliation of cash account Togo Corp.’s book balance of cash account shows an unadjusted balance of $64,000 before reconciliation. The following data was also available: 1.

Pr. 7-74 Reasons for selling receivables List three reasons why a business might sell its receivables to another party. Solution 7-74 1. A business may sell its receivables because it needs the cash now and access to normal credit is not available or is too expensive. 2. A business may sell its receivables (instead of borrowing) to avoid violating debt covenant agreements. 3. A business may sell its receivables to avoid billing and collection activities, which are often costly and time-consuming. 4. For competitive reasons, many industries offer sales financing to encourage sales. However, they not be able to finance customers over long periods of time, so will sell or factor the receivables to obtain the cash more quickly.

Pr. 7-75 Secured borrowings vs factoring of receivables Explain the difference between secured borrowings and factoring. Solution 7-75 Secured borrowing is using accounts receivable (or other receivables, such as notes) as collateral to borrow money, usually from a bank. This is common business practice in Canada. The receivables are assigned or pledged as security for the loan. The assignor retains ownership and control of the receivables, thus the receivables remain as an asset on the assignor’s statement of financial position; as well, the liability is recorded as with any other liability. As the assigned receivables are collected, the proceeds are used to pay down on the loan. Any interest or finance charges paid are expensed. Factoring receivables is an outright sale to a factor or lender. The factor buys the receivables and deducts a fee upfront, which is recorded as a “Loss on Sale of Receivables.” The receivables are transferred to the factor, who now has ownership and control of them, and the transferor derecognizes them from the books. Receivables can be sold without recourse where the factor assumes the risk of collection and absorbs any bad debts. The factor may also keep a “holdback” (recorded as “Due from Factor” – a current asset) to cover any sales discounts or returns. On the other hand, receivables are more commonly sold with recourse where the risk of bad debts remains with the transferor. In this case, a recourse liability must be recorded, which will increase the Loss on Sale.

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand inventory from a business perspective. It is important to understand the nature of the various types of businesses that have significant inventory as well as the different types of inventory. Retailers, manufacturers, and wholesalers generally carry significant amounts of inventory. However, different companies have different business models. For example, some manufacturers follow a just-in-time strategy and carry very little inventory on hand. Only one inventory account, Merchandise Inventory, appears in the financial statements of a merchandising concern. A manufacturer normally has three inventory accounts: Raw Materials, Work in Process, and Finished Goods. There may also be an inventory account for factory or manufacturing supplies. Management must manage inventory levels in order to ensure sufficient choice and quantities to meet customer needs yet keep costs to a minimum. The financial statements need to provide information about all of this.

2. Define inventory from an accounting perspective. Differing companies have different types of inventories including securities, land for development, work in progress, grain, and other. For accounting purposes, inventory is defined as an asset that is held for sale in the ordinary course of business or for the production of such inventory (including raw materials, work in process, and supplies). Special guidance and/or industry practice exists for inventories of financial instruments, construction in progress, biological assets, agricultural products, mineral products, inventories held by producers of agricultural and forest producers, and inventories held by commodity brokertraders.

3. Identify which inventory items should be included in ending inventory. Inventory is included on the balance sheet of the entity that has substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership, which is generally the company that has possession and legal title to the goods. Professional judgement must be used to determine whether substantially all of the risks and rewards have passed. For instance, consigned goods remain the property of the consignor. Purchase commitments are generally not recognized unless onerous.

4. Identify the effects of inventory errors on the financial statements and adjust for them. If the ending inventory is misstated, (1) the inventory, retained earnings, working capital, and current ratio in the balance sheet will be incorrect; and (2) the cost of goods sold and net income in the income statement will be incorrect. If purchases and inventory are misstated, (1) the inventory, accounts payable, and current ratio will be incorrect; and (2) purchases and ending inventory will be incorrect.

5. Determine the components of inventory cost. Inventory costs include all costs of purchase, conversion, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to the present location and condition necessary for sale. Such charges include freight charges on goods purchased, other direct costs of acquisition, and labour and other direct production costs incurred in processing the goods up to the time of sale. Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Interest and asset retirement costs may be included as part of the cost of inventory depending on the circumstances.

6. Distinguish between perpetual and periodic inventory systems and account for them. Under a perpetual inventory system, a continuous record of changes in inventory is maintained in the Inventory account. That is, all purchases into and transfers of goods out of the account are recorded directly in the Inventory account as they occur. No such record is kept under a periodic inventory system. Under the periodic system, year-end inventory is determined by a physical count, and the amount of ending inventory and cost of goods sold is based on this count. Even under the perpetual system, an annual count is needed to test the accuracy of the records.

7. Identify and apply GAAP cost formula options and indicate when each cost formula is appropriate. The specific identification method is used to assign costs for items of inventory that are not ordinarily interchangeable or that are produced for specific projects. The weightedaverage or first-in, first-out cost formula is used to assign costs to other types of inventory. All inventory items that have a similar nature and use to the entity apply the same cost formula.

8. Explain why inventory is measured at the lower of cost and market, and apply the lower of cost and net realizable value standard. Current assets should not be reported on the balance sheet at a higher amount than the net cash that is expected to be generated from their use or sale. When this amount is less than “cost,” inventory is written down and the loss in value is recognized in the same period as the decline. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business reduced by the expected costs to complete and sell the goods. Ordinarily, each item’s cost and NRV are compared and the lower value is chosen. However, items that are related to each other and have similar purposes, that are produced and marketed in the same geographical area, and that cannot be evaluated separately from other items may be grouped and the lower of the group’s cost and net realizable value is chosen.

9. Identify inventories that are or may be valued at amounts other than the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventories of financial instruments, construction contract work in process, biological assets related to agricultural activity, agricultural produce at the point of harvest and after harvest, inventories held by producers of agricultural and forest producers, mineral products, and inventories of commodity broker-traders all may be accounted for at other than the lower of cost and net realizable value.

10. Apply the gross profit method of estimating inventory. Ending inventory is determined by deducting an estimate of cost of goods sold from the actual cost of goods available for sale. Cost of goods sold is estimated by multiplying net sales by the percentage of cost of goods sold to sales. This percentage is derived from the gross profit percent: 100% – gross profit percentage = cost of goods sold percentage.

11. Identify how inventory should be presented and the type of inventory disclosures required by ASPE and IFRS. ASPE requires disclosure of how cost is determined, inventory that is pledged as security, the amount charged to the income statement as expense in the period, and the inventories’ carrying value by category. Additional information is required by IFRS, including details about inventory impairment writedowns and any recoveries, the circumstances responsible for these, and the carrying amounts and reconciliations of items measured at NRV or fair value. Biological assets must be presented separately on the balance sheet under IFRS. In general, cost of sales is presented on the income statement under both IFRS and ASPE unless expenses are grouped by nature. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.

12. Explain how inventory analysis provides useful information and apply ratio analysis to inventory. Common ratios that are used in the management and evaluation of inventory levels are the inventory turnover and a related measure, average days to sell the inventory, often called the average age of inventory. This is useful information as excessive investment in inventory is expensive to carry, yet too little inventory results in lost sales and dissatisfied customers.

13. Identify differences in accounting between ASPE and IFRS, and what changes are expected in the near future. ASPE and IFRS are substantially harmonized. IFRS has specific guidance on the measurement of agricultural and construction inventories, the capitalization of borrowing costs on qualifying assets, and on onerous contracts. Asset retirement obligations may be treated differently under IFRS. No major changes are expected in the near future.

14. Apply the retail method of estimating inventory. The retail inventory method is based on converting the retail price of ending inventory by a cost-to-retail percentage, which is derived from information in the accounting and supplementary records. To use this method, records must be kept of the costs and retail prices for beginning inventory, net purchases, and abnormal spoilage, as well as the retail amount of net markups, net markdowns, and net sales. Which items go into the numerator and denominator of the cost-to-retail ratio depends on the type of inventory valuation estimate that is wanted.

15. Identify other primary sources of GAAP for inventory.

The effect of the errors in ending inventories reverse themselves in the following year. $70,000 – $10,000 = $60,000. $345,000 + $12,000 + $11,000 = $368,000 $700 x 98% = $686. ($8,000 – $700) × .02 = $146. $817,200 – (540,000 x $1.50) = $7,200 Loss. Under the periodic system, a Purchases account is used. 250 x $3.50 = $875. Under the perpetual system, purchases are debited to Inventory. 250 x $3.50 = $875. ($29,310 + $20,600 + $28,917) ÷ (3,000 + 2,000 + 2,700) = $10.237/unit $10.237 × 1,000 = $10,237.

Derivation Under FIFO, the unsold units in beginning inventory are considered to be the first units sold. 100 x $3.14 = $314. 100 + 350 + 70 – 150 = 370 units sold (100 × $8.40) + (270 × $8.80) = $3,216. $585,000 – $525,000 = $60,000. Existing balance in allowance account must decrease from $60,000 to $40,000. This is accomplished by debiting the allowance account by $20,000. Then the adjusted inventory will be $780,000 – $40,000 = $740,000. 35% ÷ (1 + 35%) = 26% (rounded). COGS = $350,000 ÷ 1.25 = $280,000 ($220,000 + $172,000 – $8,000) – $280,000 = $104,000. COGS = $1,350,000 x 0.65 = $877,500 $600,000 + $1,150,000 – $877,500 = $872,500. $870,000 - ($700,000 x 0.60) = $450,000. $80,000 + $391,000 – ($485,000 ÷ 1.25) = $83,000. $650,000 ÷ [($130,000 + $140,000) ÷ 2] = 4.8 times. Cost: $117,000 + $442,000 + $8,000 = $567,000. Retail: $183,000 + $623,000 + $22,000 = $828,000. $183,000 + $623,000 – $3,000 + $22,000 – $30,000 – $585,000 = $210,000. Cost: $117,000 + $442,000 + $8,000 = $567,000 Retail: $183,000 + $623,000 +$22,000 = $828,000 Cost-to-retail ratio = $567,000 ÷ $828,000 = 68.5% $210,000 × 68.5% = $143,850.

[(3,200 x $4) – (1,600 × $4) + (4,000 × $4.70)] ÷ 5,600 = $4.50. (100 × $36) + (100 × $34.50) = $7,050. NRV = $255,000 – $10,000 = $245,000; Cost = $240,000; Therefore no loss. $2,000,000 × .70 = $1,400,000 (COGS) $300,000 + $1,500,000 – $1,400,000 – $350,000 = $50,000. $562,500 ÷ 3.5 = $160,714.

EXERCISES Ex. 8-110 Definitions Provide clear, concise answers for the following: 1. Identify the inventory categories of a manufacturing company and describe how they are related. 2. What is a perpetual inventory system? 3. What is a periodic inventory system? 4. What is the specific identification cost flow method? 5. What is the average cost inventory cost flow method? 6. What is the FIFO cost flow method? Solution 8-110 1. Manufacturing companies typically have three inventory categories: raw materials, work-inprocess and finished goods. Their relationship can be seen in that both the raw materials and the finished goods are included in the finished goods inventory. Specifically, the raw materials can be traced directly to the end product. 2.

In a perpetual inventory system, all purchases and sales are recorded directly in the inventory general ledger account as they occur. Cost of goods sold is calculated every time goods are sold. As a result, up-to-date information as to the number of units on hand and cost of goods sold is always available.

3.

In a periodic inventory system, detailed records of purchases and sales are not kept in the inventory accounts. Cost of goods sold is a residual amount and is only available after a physical inventory count has been performed.

4.

This method is used to assign costs to individual inventory items that are not interchangeable and are identifiable. Examples include special orders and serialized products such as automobiles and major appliances.

5.

This method prices items in inventory on the basis of average cost of goods available for sale during the period. The weighted average cost formula takes into account that the volume of goods purchased at each price is different.

6.

This method assumes that the oldest inventory costs are the first costs recorded for goods sold. As a result, it matches the physical flow of goods for most types of inventory.

Ex. 8-111 Terminology In the space provided at right, write the word or phrase that is defined or indicated. 1. An approach whereby a company 1. __________________________________ finances its inventory without reporting either the liability or the inventory asset on its statement of financial position. 2.

PROBLEMS Pr. 8-124 Theory What is the difference between an executory contract and and onerous contract? Solution 8-124 An executory contract is one where neither party has performed (or fulfilled) its part of the contract. No asset or liability is recognized when the contract takes effect. However, if the amounts are abnormal in relation to the entity’s normal business operations or financial position, the contract details should be disclosed in the financial statement notes. On the other hand, an onerous contract is present if the unavoidable costs of completing the contract are higher than the benefits expected from the contract. IFRS requires the entity to recognize a loss provision (IAS 37). ASPE does not require a loss provision, but normal Canadian practice is to record such a loss/liability.

Pr. 8-125 Inventory cut-off At December 31, 2014, Dakota Corp.’s perpetual inventory showed as $43,100 in the general ledger. Towards the end of 2014, a new approach for compiling inventory was used and apparently a satisfactory cut-off for preparation of financial statements was not made. Some events that occurred are as follows: 1. Units shipped to a customer January 2, 2015, costing $6,000, were included in inventory at December 31, 2014. The sale was recorded in 2015. 2. Units costing $25,000 received December 30, 2014, were recorded as received on January 2, 2015. 3. Units received during 2014 costing $4,300 were recorded twice in the general ledger. 4. Units shipped to a customer December 28, 2014, f.o.b. shipping point, which cost $14,000, were not received by the customer until January 2015. The units were included in the ending inventory. 5. Units on hand that cost $5,600 were never recorded on the books. Instructions Calculate the correct inventory at December 31, 2014.

Instructions a) As financial accountant for Missouri, you have been asked to calculate the corrected net income amounts for each of the five years based on the audit findings. b) Review your solution to part a) and consider the self correcting effect of inventory errors. Why does total reported net income not equal total corrected income? Solution 8-126 a)

$533,800

b) While it is true that inventory errors are self correcting, the (self) correction occurs in the accounting period following the error. For Missouri, the over-statement of the 2014 ending inventory reduces corrected 2014 income by $5,200. If that amount were to be added back to total corrected net income, it would be equal to reported net income: Total corrected net income .......................................

9-3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the nature of investments including which types of companies have significant investments. This chapter deals with investments in basic debt and equity instruments of other companies. Debt instruments such as bonds generally carry contractual rights to receive principal and interest payments. Equity instruments such as shares may carry contractual rights to receive dividends (depending on the type of share) and may also carry voting rights and /or rights to receive residual assets upon windup of a company. Care must be taken to determine exactly what rights the investments entitle the holder to as this will help determine the accounting. Not all companies carry significant investments. It depends on the business model. Examples of types of companies that generally carry significant investments are financial institutions, insurance companies, and pension funds.

2. Explain and apply the cost/amortized cost model of accounting for investments. At acquisition, the cost of the investment is recognized as its fair value plus transaction costs. If the investment is a debt instrument, any premium or discount is amortized to interest income. Holding gains are recognized only when realized, as are holding losses, unless the investment is impaired. The investment is reported at its cost or amortized cost as either a current asset or a long-term investment, depending on its maturity and management’s intention to hold it. ASPE uses this model for most investments excluding equity investments where an active market exists for trading the shares and derivatives. IAS 39 uses this model for debt investments where the entity has the intent and ability to hold the investment to maturity. It is also used for equity investments where the entity is unable to measure fair value. IFRS 9 uses this model for debt instruments where the entity’s business model is to hold the investments to maturity.

3. Explain and apply the fair value through net income model of accounting for investments. At acquisition, the investment is recognized at its fair value, with transaction costs being expensed. At each reporting date, the investment is revalued to its current fair value, with holding gains and losses recognized in net income. Dividend and interest income is also recognized in net income. If the investment is not held for trading purposes, any interest income is reported separately and is adjusted for discount or premium amortization. If held for trading or other current purposes, the investment is reported as a current asset. ASPE uses this for equity instruments where there is an active market and derivatives. IAS 39 uses this for held for trading securities including derivatives. IFRS 9 uses this model for all investments not accounted for under the cost/amortized cost model or the FVOCI model. ASPE and IFRS both allow any investment to be accounted for using FV–NI under the fair value option.

4. Explain and apply the fair value through other comprehensive income model of accounting for investments. At acquisition, the investment is recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. At each reporting date, the investment is revalued to its current fair value, with the holding gains or losses reported in other comprehensive income. On disposal, the accumulated holding gains or losses are either recycled to net income (IAS 39) or transferred directly to retained earnings (IFRS 9). Investments are reported as current or long-term assets, depending on marketability and management intent. ASPE does not allow this method. IAS 39 allows this method for available for sale investments. IFRS 9 allows this method for certain equity investments.

5. Explain and apply the incurred loss, expected loss, and fair value loss impairment models. The three impairment loss models differ in the timing of the recognition of impairment losses and the discount rate used. Under the incurred loss approach, a triggering event is required before a loss is recognized and measured, and the revised cash flows are discounted using either the historical or a current market rate. Under the expected loss approach, no triggering event is required, and revised cash flows and impairment losses are determined on a continual basis. The discount rate is the historical/original rate. Using the fair value loss model, the asset is written down to fair value taking into account market information (refer back to Chapter 2). ASPE and IFRS use the incurred loss model for all cost/amortized cost investments, although the post-impairment carrying values are measured differently. IAS 39 uses the incurred loss model for FV–OCI investments once a trigger or loss event has occurred and any resulting impairment loss is recognized in net income. Under IFRS 9, impairment losses on FV–OCI investments are not recognized in net income. Where the FV–NI model is used, there is no need to specifically assess impairment because the investment is continually revalued to fair value and any gains or losses are booked to income.

6. Explain the concept of significant influence and apply the equity method. Significant influence is the ability to have an effect on strategic decisions made by an investee’s board of directors, but not enough to control those decisions. The equity method, sometimes referred to as one-line consolidation, is used because income is recognized by the investor as it is earned. The investor’s income statement will reflect the performance of the investee company. Under this method, the investment account is adjusted for all changes in the investee’s book value and for the amortization of any purchase discrepancy. IFRS requires use of the equity method for its associates (investees a company can significantly influence). ASPE provides a policy choice: either the equity method or the cost method, except that associates with a quoted price in an active market cannot be accounted for at cost. Instead, the FV–NI model can be used.

7. Explain the concept of control and when consolidation is appropriate. Control relates to the ability to direct the strategic decisions of another entity and to generate returns for your own benefit or loss. When one company controls another, it controls all the net assets of that entity and is responsible for all its revenues and expenses. Therefore, all of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses, are reported by the parent investor on a line-by-line basis in consolidated financial statements. The interests of the noncontrolling shareholders in the subsidiary company are reported separately as noncontrolling interest. Under IFRS, all subsidiaries are consolidated. ASPE, on the other hand, allows consolidation or a choice of the equity or cost method. Investments in companies with shares traded in an active market cannot be reported using the cost method, but may use FV–NI.

8. Explain how investments are presented and disclosed in the financial statements noting how this facilitates analysis. The objectives of disclosure are to provide information so users can assess the significance of the financial asset investments to the entity’s financial position and performance, the extent of risks to which the company is exposed as a result, and how those risks are managed. As a result, the investments are identified on the statement of financial position according to how they are classified for accounting purposes, with the income statement reporting information on the returns by method of classification. Extensive disclosure

is required, particularly under IFRS, on the entity’s risk exposures and how it manages those risks.

9. Identify differences in accounting between IFRS and ASPE, and what changes are expected in the near future. The differences are noted in Illustrations 9-13, 9-14, and 9-23. There are significant differences because there are two standards currently in effect under IFRS (IAS 39 and IFRS 9) and because the standards are currently in transition. It is expected that IFRS 9 will change in order to align more closely with the proposed U.S. standard. In addition, both the IASB and FASB are looking at a new impairment model.

Ex. 9-85 Investments in debt securities Presented below are unrelated cases involving investments in debt securities. Case 1: A company owns another firm's debt securities in the form of bonds. The bonds were acquired at a discount and are accounted for under the amortized cost model. Case 2: An investment in notes receivable that had been held for several years is being sold. The investment was accounted for under the amortized cost model. Case 3: A portfolio of debt investments has been determined to be impaired. Instructions Indicate the accounting required and/or available for each individual case. Solution 9-85 Case 1: The bonds would have been recognized at their fair value plus transaction costs. The discount would be amortized to net income over the life of the bond. Case 2: The accrued interest and discount or premium would have to be updated up to the date of disposal. The resulting gain or loss (difference between carrying value and sales proceeds) would be recognized in net income and the investment would be removed from the investor's books.

Case 3: Depending on whether ASPE or IFRS is followed, once the investment has been determined to be impaired, three different models are available to recognize the loss: the incurred loss impairment model, the expected loss impairment model, and the fair value loss impairment model.

Ex. 9-86 Cost and equity methods Compare the cost and equity methods of accounting for investments in stocks subsequent to acquisition (when permitted by ASPE). Solution 9-86 Under the cost method, the investment is originally recorded at fair value plus any direct transaction costs, i.e. cost. The investment remains at this value unless the investment becomes impaired. Dividends are reported as income. Similarly, under the equity method, the investment is originally recorded at cost. Subsequently, however, the investment account is adjusted for the investor's share of the investee's net income or loss and this amount is recognized in the net income of the investor. Dividends received from the investee are recorded as reductions in the investment account.

Ex. 9-87 Cost and equity methods Fill in the dollar changes caused in the Investment account and Dividend Income or Investment Income account by each of the following transactions, assuming Norah Corp. uses a) the fair value through net income (FV–NI) method and b) the equity method for accounting for its investments in Jessica Ltd. a) FV–NI Method b) Equity Method Investment Dividend Investment Investment Transaction Account Income Account Income or Loss —————————————————————————————————————————— 1.

Ex. 9-89 Significant influence Describe how to determine if an investment results in significant influence. Solution 9-89 If the ownership is less than 20%, it is presumed that the investor does not have significant influence. However, if there is evidence indicating that such influence exists, such as the investor having seats on the board of directors, then the investment should be accounted for as one with significant influence. If the ownership is 20% or greater, then it is presumed the investor has significant influence. If the facts of the situation indicate that there is not significant influence, such as the existence of a larger shareholder and the investor having no seats on the board of directors, then the investment should be accounted for as one without significant influence.

Ex. 9-90 Investment in equity securities On January 1, 2014, Sally Corp. acquired 30% of Wally Ltd.’s common shares for $500,000. At that time, Wally had 1 million no par common shares issued and outstanding. During 2014, Wally paid total cash dividends of $220,000, and later declared and issued a 5% common stock dividend when the market value was $2 per share. Wally's net income for 2014 was $480,000. Sally is using the equity method to account for this investment. What should be the balance in Sally’s investment account at the end of 2014? Solution 9-90 Cost ........................................................................... Share of net income (.3 × $480,000) ..........................

PROBLEMS Pr. 9-92 Accounting for bonds – amortized cost model (IFRS) On January 1, 2014, on their issue date, Diogenes Inc. purchased 9%, $200,000, 10-year bonds. Interest is paid annually on December 31. Diogenes uses the amortized cost model and the effective interest method for amortizing premium or discount. The current market rate was 10% and as a result Diogenes paid $187,711 for the bonds. On December 31, 2014, the bonds have a market value of $185,000. Instructions a) Record the receipt of interest and amortization of the discount for 2014. b) Record any year-end adjustment required. Solution 9-92 a) Interest income = $187,711 × .10 ............................... Actual interest ............................................................

Pr. 9-97 Long-term investment – FV–NI method Ceres Corporation is considering making a significant long-term investment in Pisces Ltd., a young and very promising company. Ceres decides to make a smaller investment first, and if Pisces turns out to be successful, Ceres intends to make an additional investment to reach significant influence. Pisces has 200,000 shares authorized, 110,000 shares issued and 90,000 shares outstanding. On January 1, 2014, Pisces issues Ceres 10,000 shares for $400,000 in cash (so now there are 120,000 shares issued, and 100,000 shares outstanding). Additional information: 1. On November 1, 2014, Pisces declares a total cash dividend of $180,000. 2. Pisces reports $225,000 net income for 2014. Its stock price on December 31, 2014 is $38. 3. On November 1, 2015, Pisces announces a total dividend of $270,000 to be paid on January 2, 2016. 4. Pisces reports $360,000 net income for 2015. Its stock price on December 31, 2015 is $44. 5. On March 15, 2016, Ceres is approached by an investment fund which offers to buy all their Pisces shares for $55 per share, a 25% premium over the current stock price of $44. Ceres accepts the offer and sells the shares on that day. Instructions Assuming Ceres uses the fair value through net income model (FV–NI) to account for this investment: a) Prepare the journal entries in Ceres’s books for the 2014 calendar year. b) Prepare the journal entries in Ceres’s books for the 2015 calendar year. c) Prepare the journal entries in Ceres’s books for the 2016 calendar year.

Pr. 9-98 Equity method (ASPE) On January 1, 2013, Titanic Corp. bought 30,000 shares of the available 100,000 common shares of Iceberg Inc., a publicly traded firm. This acquisition provided Titanic with significant influence. Titanic paid $700,000 cash for the investment. At the time of the acquisition, Iceberg reported assets of $2,500,000 and liabilities of $1,200,000. Asset values reflected fair market value, except for capital assets that had a net book value of $500,000 and a fair market value of $730,000. These assets had a remaining useful life of five years. For 2013 Iceberg reported net income of $400,000 and paid total cash dividends of $100,000. On May 16, 2014, Titanic sold 15,000 of its shares in Iceberg for $425,000. Titanic has no immediate plans to sell its remaining investment in Iceberg. Iceberg is actively traded, and stock price information follows: January 1, 2013 $23 December 31, 2013 $25 January 1, 2014 $26

To record the sale of the shares $776,200 x 50% = $388,100 After this sale, Titanic will no longer have significant influence over Iceberg. As a result, the use of the equity method will no longer be appropriate. Under ASPE, Titanic can choose the cost or fair value through net income (FV–NI) model for its remaining investment in Iceberg. Pr. 9-99 Equity method – IFRS Capricorn Corporation decided to purchase 35% of the outstanding shares of Aquarius Ltd. Capricorn’s CFO conducted an extensive evaluation of the financial statements of Aquarius and reported his findings to the Board of Directors in the following memo:

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

Dear Board of Directors, Following your request, I conducted a detailed analysis of Aquarius Ltd. I found out that the liabilities reported in its books at December 31, 2013 in the amount of $20M fairly represent their economic values. As for the assets, their book value is $45M. The company owns an office building in downtown Toronto where its headquarters are located. The net book value of this building, including the land, is $10M. Aquarius purchased the land for $6M some 20 years ago and then constructed the building. I consulted with real estate experts and currently the fair value of the land is $9M and the fair value of the building is $8M. The remaining useful life of the building in Aquarius’s books is 20 years and I find this estimate realistic. The firm has developed a patent. According to my analysis, the fair value of the patent is $12M. Given future advances in technology, I expect the value of the patent to decline and become worthless 6 years from now. The patent was developed by the company and all the related costs were recorded as research and development expenses. Sincerely, Jake Connor, CA The Board of Directors of Capricorn Corporation adopted the report by Mr. Connor and on January 1, 2014 purchased 35% of the shares of Aquarius, based on its fair value according to Mr. Connor’s analysis. After the acquisition of the shares, Capricorn was able to exercise significant influence over Aquarius. In 2014, Aquarius reported net income of $10M and distributed 40% of it as cash dividends. In 2015, the earnings of Aquarius doubled compared with 2014. Aquarius distributed 60% of its income as cash dividends. On December 31, 2015, Capricorn sold its investment in Aquarius Ltd. for $20M. Instructions Assuming Capricorn accounts for this investment using the method required under IFRS, a) Record the initial purchase by Capricorn Corp. b) Record the entries related to the investment in Aquarius Ltd. for 2014. c) Record the entries related to the investment in Aquarius Ltd. for 2015.

Property, Plant, and Equipment: Accounting Model Basics

10 - 3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the importance of depreciation, impairment, and disposition from a business perspective. The economic benefits of property, plant, and equipment are typically consumed as the items are used by the organization. Because the benefits are consumed over multiple periods, companies use depreciation to allocate the benefits of the PP&E to each period as the capacity of the assets is used up. By allocating the cost of property, plant, and equipment over its useful life, businesses are better able to match the costs and benefits of the assets to the revenues that they help generate. Companies also need to assess their PP&E each year under IFRS for indications of impairment, and if these indications are present they should re-estimate how much will be recoverable. Following GAAP should also help companies better understand their business.

2. Explain the concept of depreciation and identify the factors to consider when determining depreciation charges. Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of property, plant, and equipment assets in a systematic and rational manner to the periods that are expected to benefit from their use. The allocation of the cost of intangible capital assets is termed “amortization” and the allocation of the costs of mineral resource assets is termed “depletion.” Four factors involved in determining depreciation expense are (1) the recognition of the appropriate asset components, (2) the amount to be depreciated (depreciable amount), (3) the estimated useful life, and (4) the pattern and method of depreciation.

3. Identify how depreciation methods are selected. The depreciation method chosen should amortize an asset in a pattern and at a rate that corresponds to the benefits received from that asset. The choice often involves the use of professional judgement. Tax reporting, simplicity, perceived economic consequences, and impact on ratios are examples of factors that influence such judgements in practice.

4. Calculate depreciation using the straight-line, decreasing charge, and activity methods and recognize the effects of using each. The straight-line method assumes that an asset provides its benefits as a function of time. As such, cost less residual value is divided by the useful life to determine the depreciation expense per period. The decreasing charge method provides for a higher depreciation charge in the early years and lower charges in later periods. For this method, a constant rate (such as double the straight-line rate) is multiplied by the net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses) at the start of the period to determine each period’s expense. The main justification for this approach is that the asset provides more benefits in the earlier periods. The activity method assumes that the benefits provided by the asset are a function of use instead of the passage of time. The asset’s life is considered in terms of either the output that it provides or an input measure, such as the number of hours it works. The depreciation charge per unit of activity (depreciable amount divided by estimated total units of output or input) is calculated and multiplied by the units of activity produced or consumed in a period to determine the depreciation.

5. Explain the accounting issues for depletion of mineral resources. After the depletion base has been established through accounting decisions related to the acquisition, exploration

10 - 4

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

and evaluation, development, and restoration obligations associated with mineral resources, these costs are allocated to the natural resources that are removed. Depletion is normally calculated using the units of production method. In this approach, the resource’s cost less residual value, if any, is divided by the number of units that are estimated to be in the resource deposit, to obtain a cost per unit of product. The cost per unit is then multiplied by the number of units withdrawn in the period to calculate the depletion.

6. Explain and apply the accounting procedures for partial periods and a change in depreciation rate. Because all the variables in determining depreciation are estimates—with the exception, perhaps, of an asset’s original cost—it is common for a change in those estimates to result in a change in the depreciation amount. When this occurs, there is no retroactive change and no catch-up adjustment. The change is accounted for in the current and future periods.

7. Explain the issues and apply the accounting standards for capital asset impairment under both IFRS and ASPE. A capital asset is impaired when its carrying amount is not recoverable. The cost recovery method (ASPE) defines recoverable as the undiscounted cash flows from the asset’s use and later disposal. If impaired, the asset is written down to its fair value, and this loss cannot be reversed later if the asset’s value recovers. The rational entity model (IFRS) defines recoverable amount as the higher of the asset’s value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. Both these values are discounted cash flow amounts. If the recoverable amount subsequently improves, the impairment losses recognized are reversed.

8. Explain and apply the accounting standards for long-lived assets that are held for sale. Assets held for sale are no longer depreciated. They are remeasured to their fair value less costs of disposal at each statement of financial position date. Recoveries in value may be recognized to the extent of previous losses. Held-for-sale items of property, plant, and equipment are separately reported as non-current assets unless they meet the definition of current assets. Under ASPE, assets held for sale are only permitted to be reported in current assets if sold before the financial statements are completed and the proceeds on sale are expected within 12 months from the date of the statement of financial position (or operating cycle, if longer).

9. Account for derecognition of property, plant, and equipment. Depreciation continues for PP&E assets until they are classified as held for sale or derecognized. At the date of disposal, all accounts related to the retired asset are removed from the books. Gains and losses from the disposal of plant assets are shown on the income statement in income before discontinued operations, unless the conditions for reporting as a discontinued operation are met. For property, plant, and equipment donated to an organization outside the reporting entity, the donation is reported at its fair value with a gain or loss on disposal recognized.

10. Describe the types of disclosures required for property, plant, and equipment. The type of information required to be disclosed for property, plant, and equipment is governed by the information needs of users. Because users of private entities’ financial information are often able to seek further specific information from a company, there are fewer required disclosures than for public companies reporting under IFRS. The required disclosures under IFRS include

Property, Plant, and Equipment: Accounting Model Basics

10 - 5

those relating to measurement, changes in account balances and the reasons for the changes, information about how fair values are determined, and many others. 11. Analyze a company’s investment in assets. The efficiency of use of a company’s investment in assets may be evaluated by calculating and interpreting the asset turnover rate, the profit margin, and the rate of return on assets.

12. Identify differences in accounting between ASPE and IFRS, and what changes are expected in the near future. In most major ways, international and Canadian accounting standards for the depreciation of property, plant, and equipment are similar. Significant differences do exist, however, in the extent of componentization for depreciation, the impairment models applied, and the extent of disclosure. The impairment differences relate to how it is determined whether an asset is impaired, how the impairment is measured, and the ability to recognize recoveries in value.

EXERCISES Ex. 10-66 Componentization Explain the concept of componentization as it applies to the recognition of PP&E assets. Solution 10-66 Componentization refers to recognizing major parts of an asset as separate assets for accounting purposes, such as the separate parts of a building (roof, heating system, flooring, elevators, foundation). Each part is then depreciated separately to reflect differing useful lives and different patterns of delivering economic benefits to the organization. The extent of componentization is left to professional judgment, with the primary consideration being the significance of the “parts” to the “whole.”

Ex. 10-74 Measurement models Identify and briefly describe the three main models to accounting for PP&E assets. Solution 10-74 The following three models are available and may be used subject to the asset type and whether IFRS or ASPE is used: 1. The cost model: This model can be used for all types of PP&E assets, and is acceptable under both ASPE and IFRS. The assets, after acquisition, are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and adjusted for impairment as necessary. 2. The revaluation model: This model can be used for all types of PP&E assets except for investment property, and is only used under IFRS. Net increases in fair value are accumulated in a separate account, Revaluation Surplus, and reported in other comprehensive income. There are two accounting methods allowed, the proportionate method and the asset-adjustment or elimination method. 3. The fair value model: This model can only be used for investment property, and again, is only used under IFRS. Assets are not depreciated and all changes in fair value are recognized in net income.

PROBLEMS Pr. 10-79 Purchase of asset by non-interest bearing note Lebanon Corporation is a Calgary-based manufacturer of automobile parts. In early January 2014, the company acquired land and a building to be used as the company's new head office. Lebanon issued a $2M, five-year non-interest bearing note to the seller. Payment is to be made in five equal instalments of $400,000 at the end of each year. As a result of a depressed real estate market, the fair value of the building cannot be readily determined. However, it has been ascertained that, given Lebanon's credit rating and market conditions, an interest rate of 9% would properly reflect the substance and credit risk of the negotiated payment schedule. Other information: 1. One third of the total value of the acquisition is attributable to the land. 2. The building is expected to have a useful life of 25 years. 3. Throughout the year, Lebanon incurred maintenance costs of $87,000 and paid them in cash. 4. A parking lot was built at a cost of $100,000 cash. The work was completed on July 1 and is expected to have a useful life of 10 years. 5. Lebanon uses straight-line depreciation for all its PP&E assets. Instructions Prepare all journal entries that are required to record the above events and transactions. Round all values to the nearest dollar.

Pr. 10-80 Asset exchanges Bahrain Corporation follows a policy of a 10% depreciation charge per year on machinery and a 5% depreciation charge per year on buildings. The following transactions occurred in 2014: March 31, 2014 A warehouse which Bahrain had purchased on January 1, 2005 for $1.7 million (with a current fair value of $1 million) was exchanged for another warehouse which also had a current fair value of $1 million. Depreciation has been properly charged from Jan 1, 2005 through Dec 31, 2013. Both parcels of land on which the warehouses were located were equal in value, and had a fair value equal to book value. June 30, 2014 Machinery with a cost of $120,000 and accumulated depreciation through December 31, 2013 of $90,000 was exchanged, along with $75,000 cash, for a parcel of land with a fair market value of $115,000. Instructions Prepare all appropriate journal entries for Bahrain Corporation for the above dates. Solution 10-80 Mar 31, 2014 Depreciation Expense ............................................... Accumulated Depreciation—Warehouse ............ ($1,700,000 × 5% × 3 ÷ 12) Warehouse (“new”) ................................................... Accumulated Depreciation—Warehouse ..................

21,250 21,250

913,750 786,250 1,700,000

Note: Since this transaction would leave Bahrain in basically the same economic position as before, the transaction lacks commercial substance; therefore the “new” warehouse is recorded at the book value of the old one. Recording it at its fair value would create a gain, which is not correct when there is no commercial substance. June 30, 2014

Note: Since the assets involved are sufficiently dissimilar, this transaction will change Bahrain’s economic position, and the transaction has commercial substance. Therefore a gain on exchange can be recorded. Note the new asset cannot be recorded at higher than fair value.

Pr. 10-81 Asset exchange – no commercial substance Turkey Corp. has a computer that they purchased on March 30, 2010 for $106,000. This computer had an estimated life of ten years and a residual value of $6,000. On December 31, 2014, the old computer is exchanged for a similar computer with a fair value of $58,000. Turkey also received $2,000 cash. Assume that the last fiscal period ended on December 31, 2013, and that straight-line depreciation is used. Instructions Prepare all entries that are necessary on December 31, 2014. Solution 10-81 Depreciation Expense ($106,000 – $6,000) ÷ 10........................... Accumulated Depreciation—Computer................................... Accumulated Depreciation—Computer ($10,000 x 4 ¾) ................

Computer (“old”) .....................................................................

10,000 10,000 47,500 56,500 2,000 106,000

Note: Since this transaction would leave Turkey in basically the same economic position as before, the transaction lacks commercial substance; therefore the “new” computer is recorded at the book value of the old one minus the cash received ($106,000 – $47,500 = $58,500 – $2,000 = $56,500). Recording it at the fair value of the new computer would create a gain, which is not correct when there is no commercial substance. Pr. 10-82 Asset exchange – no commercial substance Syria Corp. exchanged Building 24, which has an appraised value of $1,700,000, a cost of $2,800,000 and accumulated depreciation of $1,300,000, for Building M which belongs to Russia Ltd. Building M has an appraised value of $1,620,000, a cost of $3,100,000, and accumulated Depreciation of $1,750,000. Russia paid Syria the difference between the appraised values of the two buildings. Assume depreciation has been updated to the date of exchange. Instructions Prepare the entries on both companies’ books, assuming the buildings are similar assets. Solution 10-82 Syria Corp.: Accumulated Depreciation ............................................................ 1,300,000 Building M ..................................................................................... 1,420,000 Cash ............................................................................................. 80,000 Building 24 ............................................................................. 2,800,000 ($1,700,000 – $1,620,000 = $80,000 cash received) Cost of Building M = book value of Building 24 less cash received.

Cost of Building 24 = book value of Building M plus cash paid. Note: Since this transaction would leave both companies in basically the same economic position as before, the transaction lacks commercial substance; therefore the “new” buildings are recorded at the book value of the old one, less cash received, or plus cash paid. Recording them at fair value would create a gain, which is not correct when there is no commercial substance.

Pr. 10-83 Nonmonetary exchange Athens Inc. exchanged machinery with an appraised value of $1,170,000, a recorded cost of $1,800,000 and accumulated depreciation of $900,000, for machinery that Sparta Corp. owns. Sparta’s machinery has an appraised value of $1,140,000, a recorded cost of $2,160,000, and accumulated depreciation of $1,188,000. Sparta also gave Athens $30,000 in the exchange. Assume depreciation has been updated to the date of exchange.

Instead, the asset is recorded at its book value plus any cash paid or less any cash received. For Athens, the value would be $900,000 – $30,000 cash received = $870,000. For Sparta, the value would be $972,000 + $30,000 cash paid = $1,002,000. Note also that the “new” asset cannot be recorded at higher than fair value.

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the importance of depreciation, impairment, and disposition from a business perspective. The economic benefits of property, plant, and equipment are typically consumed as the items are used by the organization. Because the benefits are consumed over multiple periods, companies use depreciation to allocate the benefits of the PP&E to each period as the capacity of the assets is used up. By allocating the cost of property, plant, and equipment over its useful life, businesses are better able to match the costs and benefits of the assets to the revenues that they help generate. Companies also need to assess their PP&E each year under IFRS for indications of impairment, and if these indications are present they should re-estimate how much will be recoverable. Following GAAP should also help companies better understand their business.

2. Explain the concept of depreciation and identify the factors to consider when determining depreciation charges. Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of property, plant, and equipment assets in a systematic and rational manner to the periods that are expected to benefit from their use. The allocation of the cost of intangible capital assets is termed “amortization” and the allocation of the costs of mineral resource assets is termed “depletion.” Four factors involved in determining depreciation expense are (1) the recognition of the appropriate asset components, (2) the amount to be depreciated (depreciable amount), (3) the estimated useful life, and (4) the pattern and method of depreciation.

3. Identify how depreciation methods are selected. The depreciation method chosen should amortize an asset in a pattern and at a rate that corresponds to the benefits received from that asset. The choice often involves the use of professional judgement. Tax reporting, simplicity, perceived economic consequences, and impact on ratios are examples of factors that influence such judgements in practice.

4. Calculate depreciation using the straight-line, decreasing charge, and activity methods and recognize the effects of using each. The straight-line method assumes that an asset provides its benefits as a function of time. As such, cost less residual value is divided by the useful life to determine the depreciation expense per period. The decreasing charge method provides for a higher depreciation charge in the early years and lower charges in later periods. For this method, a constant rate (such as double the straight-line rate) is multiplied by the net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses) at the start of the period to determine each period’s expense. The main justification for this approach is that the asset provides more benefits in the earlier periods. The activity method assumes that the benefits provided by the asset are a function of use instead of the passage of time. The asset’s life is considered in terms of either the output that it provides or an input measure, such as the number of hours it works. The depreciation charge per unit of activity (depreciable amount divided by estimated total units of output or input) is calculated and multiplied by the units of activity produced or consumed in a period to determine the depreciation.

5. Explain the accounting issues for depletion of mineral resources. After the depletion base has been established through accounting decisions related to the acquisition, exploration and evaluation, development, and restoration obligations associated with mineral resources, these Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.

costs are allocated to the natural resources that are removed. Depletion is normally calculated using the units of production method. In this approach, the resource’s cost less residual value, if any, is divided by the number of units that are estimated to be in the resource deposit, to obtain a cost per unit of product. The cost per unit is then multiplied by the number of units withdrawn in the period to calculate the depletion.

6. Explain and apply the accounting procedures for partial periods and a change in depreciation rate. Because all the variables in determining depreciation are estimates—with the exception, perhaps, of an asset’s original cost—it is common for a change in those estimates to result in a change in the depreciation amount. When this occurs, there is no retroactive change and no catch-up adjustment. The change is accounted for in the current and future periods.

7. Explain the issues and apply the accounting standards for capital asset impairment under both IFRS and ASPE. A capital asset is impaired when its carrying amount is not recoverable. The cost recovery method (ASPE) defines recoverable as the undiscounted cash flows from the asset’s use and later disposal. If impaired, the asset is written down to its fair value, and this loss cannot be reversed later if the asset’s value recovers. The rational entity model (IFRS) defines recoverable amount as the higher of the asset’s value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. Both these values are discounted cash flow amounts. If the recoverable amount subsequently improves, the impairment losses recognized are reversed.

8. Explain and apply the accounting standards for long-lived assets that are held for sale. Assets held for sale are no longer depreciated. They are remeasured to their fair value less costs of disposal at each statement of financial position date. Recoveries in value may be recognized to the extent of previous losses. Held-for-sale items of property, plant, and equipment are separately reported as non-current assets unless they meet the definition of current assets. Under ASPE, assets held for sale are only permitted to be reported in current assets if sold before the financial statements are completed and the proceeds on sale are expected within 12 months from the date of the statement of financial position (or operating cycle, if longer).

9. Account for derecognition of property, plant, and equipment. Depreciation continues for PP&E assets until they are classified as held for sale or derecognized. At the date of disposal, all accounts related to the retired asset are removed from the books. Gains and losses from the disposal of plant assets are shown on the income statement in income before discontinued operations, unless the conditions for reporting as a discontinued operation are met. For property, plant, and equipment donated to an organization outside the reporting entity, the donation is reported at its fair value with a gain or loss on disposal recognized.

10. Describe the types of disclosures required for property, plant, and equipment. The type of information required to be disclosed for property, plant, and equipment is governed by the information needs of users. Because users of private entities’ financial information are often able to seek further specific information from a company, there are fewer required disclosures than for public companies reporting under IFRS. The required disclosures under IFRS include those relating to measurement, changes in account balances and the reasons for the changes, information about how fair values are determined, and many others.

11. Analyze a company’s investment in assets. The efficiency of use of a company’s investment in assets may be evaluated by calculating and interpreting the asset turnover rate, the profit margin, and the rate of return on assets.

12. Identify differences in accounting between ASPE and IFRS, and what changes are expected in the near future. In most major ways, international and Canadian accounting standards for the depreciation of property, plant, and equipment are similar. Significant differences do exist, however, in the extent of componentization for depreciation, the impairment models applied, and the extent of disclosure. The impairment differences relate to how it is determined whether an asset is impaired, how the impairment is measured, and the ability to recognize recoveries in value.

EXERCISES Ex. 11-75 Definitions Provide clear, concise answers for the following: 1. Define depreciation. 2. Define depreciation accounting. 3. Does depreciation accounting provide cash? If not, what does provide cash? In relation to cash, what does depreciation accounting do? Solution 11-75 1. Depreciation is the decline in service potentials or in future economic benefits of a PP&E asset due to physical or economic factors. 2.

Depreciation accounting is the systematic and rational allocation of the cost of PP&E assets to the periods benefited from the use of the assets.

3.

Depreciation accounting does not provide cash. Revenues provide cash. Depreciation accounting retains cash by reducing income taxes and dividends.

Ex. 11-76 Componentization and depreciation of PP&E assets You are the accountant for a manufacturing company. You have just been advised of the acquisition of a new machine. You have received a memo which only gives you the following information: Grinding Equipment Model: XZ-1-1000 Cost: $1,250,000 Instructions To be able to properly account for this asset, list and briefly describe what additional information you require. Solution 11-76 The information should include details on the machine’s • Components • Depreciable amount • Depreciation period (useful life) • Usage pattern The machine may include different parts that may have different usage and maintenance patterns. If so, and if these parts are significant, they should be accounted for separately, so these patterns can be captured in the depreciation process. The depreciable amount will likely not be the same as the given cost of $1,250,000, since it will have to be adjusted for residual value(s), if any. The depreciation period will be affected by the date that the machine is installed and ready for use. Finally, the usage pattern will drive the decision of which depreciation method to use: straightline, declining balance, or units of production.

Ex. 11-77 True or false? Place T or F in front of each of the following statements. 1. The choice of depreciation method is specified in GAAP and does not require the use of professional judgment. 2. Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of assets in a manner that is consistent with the desired effect on income. 3. Changes in the depreciation rate due to changes in the estimate of the asset's useful life are accounted for in the current and future periods. 4. Gains and losses from the disposal of property, plant and equipment are always reported as part of other comprehensive income. 5. The term "recoverable amount" with respect to a capital asset's impairment has the same definition under ASPE and IFRS. 6. Once a loss has been recognized, IFRS prohibits the subsequent reversal of that loss. 7. Only assets with cash flows that are independent from those of other assets are included in a cash-generating unit (CGU). 8. When using the straight-line method, an asset's residual value is deducted in the calculation of depreciation expense 9. An asset that has been depreciated to its residual value can continue to be depreciated until it reaches a net book value of zero. Solution 11-77 1. F 2.

Equipment costing $43,000 and accumulated depreciation of $12,000, is given together with cash of $16,000 in exchange for similar equipment with a fair value of $44,000. The gain or loss recognized on the exchange (indicate by "G" or "L") is $______________. Assume this transaction has commercial substance. A machine costing $72,000, estimated useful life of five years, and residual value of $12,000, is depreciated by the straight-line method. This asset is sold for $50,000 at the end of the second year of use. The gain or loss on the disposal (indicate by "G" or "L") is $___________.

Solution 11-78 1. Year 1 depreciation = $180,000 x 2 ÷ 10 = $36,000; NBV now $144,000 Year 2 depreciation = $144,000 x 2 ÷ 10 = $28,800 2.

Depreciation per km = ($50,000 - $3,800) ÷ 210,000 = $0.22 Year 2 depreciation = $0.22 x 45,000 = $9,900

PROBLEMS Pr. 11-83 Asset overhaul Swift Corporation is an international provider of freight services that follows IFRS. Its fleet of vehicles includes a truck that is carried in its books as "VC1-016." This truck was purchased two years ago for $150,000 and has been depreciated on a straight-line basis. By December 31, 2014, its book value (carrying value) is $97,000. As part of its commitment to safety and as required by its insurer, the company has a policy to overhaul its trucks after every 50,000 kms. The associated costs of the overhauls are tracked in separate accounts. At December 31, 2014 the balances for VC1-016 are as follows: Overhauls # 1 - 5: Accumulated Depreciation: ........................................ Overhaul # 6: Cost ........................................................................... Less accumulated depreciation: .................................

Pr. 11-85 Cost recovery impairment model, revision of depreciation Rhino Corporation is a manufacturer of automobile parts. Its capital assets include specialized equipment that is being used in the finishing stage of its manufacturing process. The equipment was purchased in 2014 and is being depreciated using the units-of-production method. By December 31, 2015, the book (carrying) value was $430,000 (after depreciation expense had been recorded). However, at that time, Rhino became aware of new technology that would make the equipment obsolete within the next five years. An appraisal puts the equipment's future undiscounted net cash flows at $390,000 and its fair value at $300,000. While considering its options for the eventual replacement, Rhino will continue using the equipment, but will change to straight-line depreciation.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

12 - 3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the importance of intangible assets and goodwill from a business perspective. We have an economy that is increasingly dominated by information and service providers, and their major assets are often intangible in nature. Identifying and measuring intangible assets tends to be difficult, and as a result many intangibles are not captured on companies’ statements of financial position. However, intangible assets and goodwill remain critically important for companies, and are a key focus of standard setters in North America and internationally.

2. Define and describe the characteristics of intangible assets. Intangible assets have three characteristics: (1) they are identifiable, (2) they lack physical substance, and (3) they are nonmonetary in nature.

3. Identify and apply the recognition and measurement requirements for purchased intangible assets. A purchased intangible asset is recognized when it is probable that the entity will receive the expected future economic benefits and when its cost can be measured reliably. It is measured initially at cost. When several intangibles, or a combination of intangibles and other assets, are acquired in a business combination, the cost of each intangible asset is its fair value. When acquired in a business combination, the identifiable intangibles are recognized separately from the goodwill component.

4. Identify and apply the recognition and measurement requirements for internally developed intangible assets. No costs are capitalized unless they meet the general recognition criteria concerning future benefits and measurability. Costs incurred in the research phase of developing an intangible asset internally are expensed. Costs incurred in the development phase of a project are also expensed unless the entity can demonstrate that it meets six stringent criteria. These criteria are designed to provide evidence that the asset is technically and financially feasible and that the company has the intent and ability to generate future economic benefits from it. Under ASPE, entities have a choice whether to capitalize or expense costs that meet the six criteria.

5. Explain how intangible assets are accounted for after initial recognition. Under ASPE, intangible assets are accounted for using the cost model, whereas IFRS also allows the revaluation model to be used if the asset’s fair value is determined in an active market. This is not often used. An intangible with a finite or limited useful life is amortized over its useful life to the entity. Except in unusual and specific circumstances, the residual value is assumed to be zero. The amount to report for amortization expense should reflect the pattern in which the asset is consumed or used up if that pattern can be reliably determined. Otherwise a straight-line approach is used. An intangible with an indefinite life is not amortized until its life is determined to no longer be indefinite. All intangibles are tested for impairment.

6. Identify and explain the accounting for specific types of intangible assets. Major types of intangibles include the following: (1) marketing-related intangibles that are used in the marketing or promotion of products or services, (2) customer-related intangibles that result from interactions

12 - 4

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

with outside parties, (3) artistic-related intangibles that involve ownership rights to such items as plays and literary works, (4) contract related intangibles that represent the value of rights that arise from contractual arrangements, and (5) technology-related intangible assets that relate to innovations or technological advances.

7. Explain and account for impairment of limited life and indefinite-life intangible assets. Under ASPE, impairment is determined and applied by using the cost recovery impairment model. Impairment for limited-life intangible assets is based first on a recoverability test. If the carrying amount is higher than its net recoverable amount (undiscounted), then an impairment loss must be measured and recognized, based on the asset’s fair value. No reversals of such losses are per mitted. The procedures are the same as for property, plant, and equipment. Indefinite-life intangibles use only a impairment model is used. An intangible asset is impaired only if its carrying amount is higher than its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is defined as the greater of the asset’s value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. The impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, if lower. The loss is reversed subsequently if economic conditions change and the recoverable amount increases. The same approach is used for both limited-life and indefinite-life intangible assets.

8. Explain the concept of goodwill and how it is measured and accounted for after acquisition. Goodwill is unique because, unlike all other assets, it can be identified only with the business as a whole. It is not an identifiable asset. Goodwill is recorded only when a business is purchased. To calculate goodwill in a 100% acquisition, the fair value of the identifiable assets that are acquired and liabilities that are assumed is compared with the fair value of the consideration transferred for the acquired business. The difference is goodwill. After acquisition, it is not amortized but is regularly assessed for impairment. The goodwill has to be assigned to a cash-generating group or reporting unit and the group is tested for impairment. Under ASPE, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized if the fair value of the asset group is lower than the group’s carrying amount, and the loss is equal to the difference. Under IFRS, there is a goodwill impairment loss if the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount. The loss is equal to the difference and is applied to goodwill first. Under both, goodwill impairment losses are not reversed.

9. Identify the types of disclosure requirements for intangible assets and goodwill and explain the issues in analyzing these assets. Disclosures under ASPE are limited because users can access additional information. Under IFRS, significant details are required to be disclosed. The disclosures allow a reader to determine how amounts invested in classes of intangibles (and goodwill) have changed over the period, with substantial information provided when fair values are used, such as under the revaluation model and all impairment calculations. For intangibles that are not amortized, companies must indicate the amount of any impairment losses that have been recognized as well as information about the circumstances that led to the writedown. Goodwill must be separately reported, as are the major classes of intangible assets. Because it is difficult to measure intangibles, some resources, such as intellectual capital and other internally developed intangible assets, do not get captured on the statement of financial position. Other intangibles are recognized, but with a relatively high level of measurement uncertainty. For these reasons and because of recent changes in the accounting policy related to intangibles, care must be taken in the analysis of financial statement information related to earnings and total assets.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

10. Identify differences in accounting between ASPE and IFRS. There are few, but significant, differences between ASPE and IFRS regarding intangible assets and goodwill. One major difference relates to the accounting treatment for costs incurred in the development phase of internally generated intangible assets that meet the six stringent criteria for capitalization. Under ASPE, entities can choose a policy of whether to capitalize these costs or expense all costs associated with internally generated intangibles. Under IFRS, these costs are capitalized. The other major difference relates to the impairment models applied: the cost recovery model for ASPE, and the rational entity model for IFRS.

EXERCISES Ex. 12-54 Definitions Provide clear, concise answers for the following: 1. What are intangible assets? 2. How are research costs accounted for? 3. How are development costs accounted for? 4. What are the two models that are used to measure intangible assets after initial acquisition? 5. What are the factors that should be considered when determining the useful life of limited life intangible assets? 6. What are the major categories of intangible assets? 7. What are the two models that are used to account for the impairment of intangible assets? Solution 12-54 1. Intangible assets are assets that are individually identifiable, lack physical substance, and are non-monetary in nature. 2.

Research costs do not, by definition, meet the criteria for recognition as an asset. As a result, they must be recognized as expenses when they are incurred.

3.

Development costs may be recognized as intangible assets, provided that future economic benefits can be demonstrated. That demonstration includes the satisfaction of six specific conditions.

4.

The models are the cost model and the revaluation model.

5.

Factors to be considered are the expected use of the asset; legal, contractual or regulatory provisions; potential obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors; and the expected expenditures for its maintenance.

6.

The major categories are marketing-related, customer-related, artistic-related, contract-based and technology-based intangible assets.

7.

The two models are the cost recovery impairment model and the rational entity impairment model. The first is used for ASPE and the latter is used in IFRS.

Ex. 12-55 Intangible assets theory It has been argued on the grounds of conservatism that all intangible assets should be written off immediately after acquisition. Discuss the accounting arguments against this treatment. Solution 12-55 Intangible assets may have future revenue producing ability, like tangible assets. The costs, therefore, should be capitalized, deferred, and matched as closely as possible against those revenues. Definite-life intangible assets should be amortized over the lesser of their useful and legal lives; indefinite-life intangibles are not amortized. Both types of intangibles should be tested regularly for impairment.

Ex. 12-58 Intangible asset impairment Trinidad Inc. is a private corporation following ASPE. On Jan 2, 2014 they purchased a limited-life licence for $50,000. This licence has a ten year life, and is not renewable. Straight-line amortization will be used. At December 31, 2015, Trinidad estimates that the undiscounted net cash flows of this license is $38,000, and the fair value (discounted net future cash flows) of this licence is $32,000. Instructions a. Calculate the amount of impairment (if any) for this asset. b. Prepare the adjusting entry required to reflect the impairment. Solution 12-58 a. Carrying value at Dec 31/15 = $50,000 – [($50,000/10) x 2years] = $40,000 Recoverability test: $40,000 – $38,000 = $2,000. Therefore, the asset is impaired. Impairment is $40,000 – $32,000 = $8,000 b.

during its development.

Ex. 12-60 Alternative treatments of goodwill after recognition Once goodwill has been recognized in the accounts there has been much disagreement over how it should be treated in subsequent periods. Discuss the alternative treatment approaches. Solution 12-60 1. Charge goodwill off immediately to shareholders’ equity. Goodwill is not an asset that is separable from the business itself and therefore should not be recognized as a separate asset. In addition, immediate expensing would be consistent with the expensing of costs of internally generated goodwill. As well, there is no rational method to amortize goodwill, due to the many uncertainties involved; therefore, financial statements will be more reliable if it is expensed. 2.

Amortize goodwill over its useful life. Goodwill at the time of purchase erodes in value over time and therefore it should be charged to income over the estimated period in which it is expected to benefit the business.

3.

Retain goodwill indefinitely at cost (i.e., do not amortize), unless impairment occurs. Current and future expenses help to maintain existing goodwill; therefore, it can have an indefinite life. Amortization of goodwill is entirely arbitrary and leads to distortions of net income.

Pr. 12-66 Journal entries for impairment of intangible assets Patagonia Corp., a large, privately held company is preparing its year-end entries. As senior accountant, you have been asked to prepare the entries related to the company's intangible assets. Patagonia currently carries the following intangible assets* on its balance sheet: Trade name $125,000 net of accumulated amortization of $75,000 Patent $126,000 net of accumulated amortization of $54,000 Other intangibles $340,000 no amortization recorded Trademark $120,000 net of accumulated amortization of $30,000 $711,000 *Current year amortization has already been recorded. The following additional information is available: After recent negative press releases relating to the technology that underlies the patent, the company has carried out a recoverability test that indicates that the patent's carrying value is higher than its undiscounted future net cash flows. The patent's fair value has now been estimated at $84,000. The item classified as “Other intangibles” relates to research costs that the company incurred in the current year. According to a statement from the company's President, "the costs were incurred with the intention to gain new knowledge. At the moment we don't know exactly how to use this information, but we are confident that eventually we will be able to use it."

Non-Financial and Current Liabilities

13- 3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the importance of non-financial and current liabilities from a business perspective. Cash flow management is a key control factor for most businesses. Taking advantage of supplier discounts for prompt payment is one step companies can take. Control of expenses and related accounts payable can improve the efficiency of a business, and can be particularly important during economic downturns.

2. Define liabilities, distinguish financial liabilities from other liabilities, and identify how they are measured. Liabilities are defined as present obligations of an entity arising from past transactions or events that are settled through a transfer of economic resources in the future. They must be enforceable on the entity. Financial liabilities are a subset of liabilities. They are contractual obligations to deliver cash or other financial assets to another party, or to exchange financial instruments with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable. Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently either at amortized cost or fair value. ASPE does not specify how non-financial liabilities are measured. However, unearned revenues are generally measured at the fair value of the goods or services to be delivered in the future, while others are measured at the best estimate of the resources needed to settle the obligation. Under IFRS, non-financial liabilities other than unearned revenues are measured at the best estimate of the amount the entity would rationally pay at the date of the statement of financial position to settle the present obligation.

3. Define current liabilities and identify and account for common types of current liabilities. Current liabilities are obligations that are payable within one year from the date of the statement of financial position or within the operating cycle if the cycle is longer than a year. IFRS also includes liabilities held for trading and any obligation where the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months after the date of the statement of financial position. There are several types of current liabilities. The most common are accounts and notes payable, and payroll-related obligations.

4. Identify and account for the major types of employee-related liabilities. Employeerelated liabilities include (1) payroll deductions, (2) compensated absences, and (3) profitsharing and bonus agreements. Payroll deductions are amounts that are withheld from employees and result in an obligation to the government or other party. The employer’s matching contributions are also included in this obligation. Compensated absences earned by employees are company obligations that are recognized as employees earn an entitlement to them, as long as they can be reasonably measured. Bonuses based on income are accrued as an expense and liability as the income is earned.

5. Explain the recognition, measurement, and disclosure requirements for decommissioning and restoration obligations. A decommissioning, restoration, or asset retirement obligation (ARO) is an estimate of the costs a company is obliged to incur when it retires certain assets. It is recorded as a liability and is usually long-term in nature. Under ASPE, only legal obligations are recognized. They are measured at the best estimate of the cost to settle them at the date of the statement of financial position, and the associated cost is included

13- 4

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

as part of the cost of property, plant, and equipment. Under IFRS, both legal and constructive obligations are recognized. They are measured at the amount the entity would rationally pay to be relieved of the obligation, and are capitalized as part of PP&E or to inventory, if due to production activities. Over time, the liability is increased for the time value of money and the asset costs are amortized to expense. Entities disclose information about the nature of the obligation and how it is measured, with more disclosures required under IFRS than ASPE.

6. Explain the issues and account for unearned revenues. When an entity receives proceeds in advance or for multiple deliverables, unearned revenue is recognized to the extent the entity has not yet performed. This is measured at the fair value of the remaining goods or services that will be delivered. When costs remain to be incurred in revenue transactions where the revenue is considered earned and has been recognized, estimated liabilities and expenses are recognized at the best estimate of the application of the matching concept.

7. Explain the issues and account for product guarantees and other customer program obligations. Historically, an expense approach has been used to account for the outstanding liability, but some recent standards have moved toward the revenue approach. Under the expense approach, the outstanding liability is measured at the cost of the economic resources needed to meet the obligation. The assumption is that along with the liability that is required to be recognized at the reporting date, the associated expense needs to be measured and matched with the revenues of the period. Under the revenue approach, the outstanding liability is measured at the value of the obligation. The proceeds received for any goods or services yet to be delivered or performed are considered to be unearned at the point of sale. Until the revenue is earned, the obligation—the liability—is reported at its sales or fair value. The liability is then reduced as the revenue is earned.

8. Explain and account for contingencies and uncertain commitments, and identify the accounting and reporting requirements for guarantees and commitments. Under existing standards, a loss is accrued and a liability recognized if (1) information that is available before the issuance of the financial statements shows that it is likely (or more likely than not under IFRS) that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and (2) the loss amount can be reasonably estimated (under IFRS, it would be a rare situation where this could not be done). An alternative approach likely to be required in new standards being developed by the IASB is described in the Looking Ahead section of the chapter. Guarantees in general are accounted for similarly to contingencies. Commitments, or contractual obligations, do not usually result in a liability at the date of the statement of financial position. Information about specific types of outstanding commitments is reported at the date of the statement of financial position.

9. Indicate how non-financial and current liabilities are presented and analyzed. Current liability accounts are commonly presented as the first classification in the liability section of the statement of financial position, although under IFRS, a common presentation is to present current assets and liabilities at the bottom of the statement. Within the current liability section, the accounts may be listed in order of their maturity or in order of their liquidation preference. IFRS requires information about and reconciliations of any provisions. Additional information is provided so that there is enough to meet the requirement of full disclosure. Information about unrecognized loss contingencies is reported in notes to the financial statements, including their

Non-Financial and Current Liabilities

13- 5

nature and estimates of possible losses. Commitments at year end that are significant in size, risk, or time are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, with significantly more information required under IFRS. Three common ratios used to analyze liquidity are the current, acid-test, and days payables outstanding ratios.

10. Identify differences in accounting between IFRS and ASPE and what changes are expected in the near future. Private enterprise and international standards are substantially the same. However, there are some classification differences. ASPE does not address “provisions,” and there are differences related to which decommissioning and restoration liabilities are recognized and how the costs are capitalized, and how the probability and measurement criteria are applied to contingencies. In addition, requires considerably more disclosure. Looking ahead, revisions to the existing standards are being proposed by the IASB and FASB that will likely be applied, at least in part, under CICA Handbook, Part II in the future. The major changes relate to the recognition and measurement standards for non-financial liabilities.

Ex. 13-79 Contingent liabilities Below are three independent situations: 1. In August, 2014, a worker was injured in the factory in an accident partially the result of his own negligence. The worker has sued his employer, Prince Corp., for $500,000. Prince’s legal counsel believes it is possible that the outcome of the suit will be unfavourable and that the settlement would cost the company from $150,000 to $400,000. 2. On October 4, 2014, a lawsuit for breach of contract seeking damages of $2,400,000 was filed by an author against Queen Corp. Queen's legal counsel believes that an unfavourable outcome is more likely than not. A reliable measurement of the award to the plaintiff is between $600,000 and $1,800,000. 3. King Ltd. is involved in a pending court case. King's lawyers believe it is likely that King will be awarded damages of $700,000.

Instructions Discuss the proper accounting treatment, including any required disclosures, for each situation. Give the rationale for your answers. Assume all companies involved use IFRS. Solution 13-79 1. Prince should disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, the existence of a possible contingent liability related to the law suit. The note should indicate the range of the possible loss. The contingent liability should not be accrued because the loss is only possible, not probable (as required by IFRS). 2. The likely award should be accrued by a debit to an estimated loss account and a credit to an estimated liability using the expected value method. Queen should disclose the following in the notes to the financial statements: the amount of the suit, the nature of the contingency, the reason for the accrual, and the range of the possible loss. The accrual is made because it is more likely than not (probable) that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be measured reliably. 3. King should not record the gain contingency until it is realized. Usually, gain contingencies are neither accrued nor disclosed. The $700,000 gain contingency should be disclosed only if the likelihood that it will be realized is very high.

PROBLEMS Pr 13-80 Common types of current liabilities Define and identify common types of current liabilities and how they are valued. Solution 13-80 Current liabilities are obligations due within one year or the operating cycle where this is longer than one year from the statement of financial position date. The liquidation of a current liability is reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or the creation of other current liabilities. Theoretically, liabilities should be measured at the present value of the future outlay of cash required to liquidate them. In practice, current liabilities other than borrowings are usually recorded in accounting records and reported in financial statements at their full maturity value. There are several types of current liabilities, the most common being accounts and notes payable, sales taxes payable, and payroll related obligations.

Pr. 13-82 Refinancing of short-term debt At their last year end, December 31, 2014, the liabilities outstanding of Copper Corp. included the following: 1. Cash dividends on common shares, $100,000, payable on January 15, 2015 2. Note payable to Manitoba Bank, $850,000, due January 20, 2015 3. Serial bonds, $2,000,000, of which $500,000 matures during 2015 4. Note payable to Ontario Bank, $200,000, due January 27, 2015 The following transactions occurred early in 2015: January 15: The cash dividends were paid. January 20: The note payable to Manitoba Bank was paid. January 25: Copper entered into a financing agreement with Saskatchewan Bank, enabling it to borrow up to $1,000,000 at any time through the end of 2014. Amounts borrowed under the agreement would bear interest at 1% above the bank's prime rate and would mature 3 years from the date of the loan. The corporation immediately borrowed $800,000 to replace the cash used in paying its January 20 note to Manitoba Bank. January 26: 40,000 common shares were issued for $300,000. $200,000 of the proceeds was used to pay off the note payable to Ontario Bank. February 1: The financial statements for 2014 were issued. Instructions Prepare a partial statement of financial position for Copper Corp., showing the manner in which the above liabilities should be presented at December 31, 2014 under IFRS. The liabilities should be properly classified between current and long-term, and any appropriate note disclosure should be included.

Pr. 13-83 Employee related liabilities Identify and account for the major types of employee-related liabilities Solution 13-83 Employee-related liabilities include (1) payroll deductions, (2) compensated absences and (3) bonus agreements. Payroll deductions are amounts withheld from employees along with the employer’s required contributions that have not yet been remitted to the government. Compensated absences earned by employees are company obligations that should be recognized as the employees earn the entitlement to them, provided they can be reasonably measured. Bonuses based on income should be accrued as an expense and liability as the income is earned.

Pr. 13-84 Asset Retirement Obligation Extraction Friendly Ltd. (EFL) specializes in extracting ore. It prides itself for following high environmental standards in the extraction process. On January 1, 2010, EFL purchased the rights to use a parcel of land from the province of New Brunswick. The rights cost $15,000,000 and allowed the company to extract ore for five years, i.e., until Dec 31, 2014. EFL expects to extract the ore evenly over the contract period. At the end of the contract, EFL has one year to clean up and restore the land. EFL estimates this will cost $2,000,000. EFL uses a discounted cash flow method to calculate the fair value of this obligation and believes that 8% is the appropriate discount rate. EFL uses straight-line depreciation method. EFL uses the calendar year as its fiscal year and follows IFRS. As a helpful suggestion, students may want to draw a timeline of events before solving the questions given below. Instructions (Round all values to the nearest dollar.) a. Prepare the journal entries to be recorded on January 1, 2010. b. Prepare the journal entries to be recorded on December 31, 2010. Show the amounts and accounts to be reported on the classified statement of financial position at December 31, 2010. c. Prepare the journal entries to be recorded on December 31, 2014. Show the amounts and accounts reported on the classified statement of financial position at December 31, 2014. d. After 2014, EFL was supposed to clean up and restore the land. Even though the company spent a considerable amount of money on restoration, it was sued by the province of New Brunswick for not following the contract’s requirements. On February 3, 2016, judgment

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

was rendered against EFL for $3,000,000. The company claims that because the language in the contract was misleading regarding the restoration costs, it plans to appeal the judgment and expects the ruling to be reduced to anywhere between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000, with $1,500,000 being the probable amount. EFL has not yet released its 2015 financial statements. Discuss how EFL should report this matter on its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. Solution 13-84 a.

Current liabilities

Since by the end of 2014 the liability is due to be discharged within a year, it should be classified as a current liability. d. This is a somewhat complicated situation. Clearly EFL is expecting a contingent loss of anywhere between $1,500,000 and $3,000,000. However, a $3,000,000 judgment has already been rendered against them, while the reduction in the loss is uncertain. There are two legitimate approaches to this issue. The first approach is to record a loss of $1,500,000 for 2015 (since this amount is deemed probable) and to provide full disclosure in the notes about the ruling and the expected appeal. The second approach is that the firm has incurred a contingent loss of $3,000,000 and expects a contingent gain of $1,500,000. Because losses are recorded immediately and contingent gains are not, then EFL should record a loss of $3,000,000 for 2015 and provide full disclosure on the possible contingent gain.

Pr. 13-85 Premiums Creamy Candy Company offers a coffee mug as a premium for every ten 50-cent candy bar wrappers presented by customers together with $1.00. The purchase price of each mug to the company is 90 cents; in addition it costs 60 cents to mail each mug.

Pr. 13-86 Warranties Alaska Computer Company sells computers for $2,000 each, which includes a 3-year warranty that requires the company to perform periodic services and to replace defective parts. During 2014, Alaska sold 500 computers on account. Based on past experience, the company has estimated the total 3-year warranty costs at $80 for parts and $100 for labour. (Assume sales all occur at December 31, 2014.) In 2015, Alaska Computer Company incurred actual warranty costs relative to 2014 computer sales of $10,000 for parts and $12,000 for labour. Instructions a. Using the expense warranty approach, prepare the entries to reflect the above transactions (accrual method) for 2014 and 2015. b. Using the cash basis method, what are the Warranty Expense balances for 2014 and 2015? c.

Pr. 13-87 Unredeemed coupons During 2014, Red Deer Corp. sold 200,000 tickets for hockey games for $60 each under a new sales promotion program. Each ticket contains one coupon. Any person who presents 2 coupons can receive a ticket to an Edmonton Flames football game for only $2. Red Deer pays $8.00 per football ticket and at the beginning of 2014 had purchased 80,000 tickets (any tickets not used in 2014 can be used in 2015). The company estimates that 60% of the coupons will be redeemed even though only 50,000 coupons had been processed during 2014. Instructions a. What amount should Red Deer report as a liability for unredeemed coupons on December 31, 2014? b. What amount of expense will Red Deer report on its 2014 income statement as a result of the promotional program? c. Prepare any necessary 2014 journal entries related to the promotion program. d. Explain how the accounting treatment for this promotion is treated under IFRS. Solution 13-87 a. The number of coupons expected to be processed is 200,000 x 60% = 120,000. In 2014, 50,000 coupons were processed, so 70,000 more are expected to be processed and accordingly 35,000 tickets to be purchased. The additional net cost per ticket is $6 and therefore the liability for unredeemed coupons at December 31, 2014 should be 35,000 x 6 = $210,000. b.

Promotion expense = (120,000) ÷ 2 x 6 = 360,000.

d. Under IFRS, this promotion would be considered a multiple deliverables arrangement. Red Deer is selling two separate products (the hockey tickets and the football tickets), with the selling price of the hockey tickets inflated to encourage the ticket purchasers to also purchase football tickets. Therefore some of the revenue from the sale of each hockey ticket should be deferred and allocated to the delivery of the football tickets. An estimated amount should be deferred to 2015 when the remaining coupons will be redeemed.

Pr. 13-88 Contingencies You have been hired by Yew Corp. to advise them on how to reflect the events below in their financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 under ASPE. Event 1: The Division A employees union has been negotiating a new contract with Yew Corp. The union is requesting a 5% wage increase retroactive for two years. Yew’s management has offered the union a 2% wage increase retroactive for one year. While the negotiations are still ongoing, the company believes that an agreement will soon be reached for a 4% wage increase retroactive for one year, but there is no guarantee that this will be the outcome of the negotiations. Event 2: The Division B employees union is also negotiating a new contract with Yew Corp. However, these negotiations are proving to be very tough. So far there has not been much progress and management is pessimistic about a quick resolution. The company is concerned that during 2015 the Division B employees will decide to go on strike; in fact, Yew considers it very likely. At this point it is difficult to assess the economic consequences of the potential strike. Event 3: Towards the end of 2014, a fire destroyed one of Yew’s plants. The damage is estimated to be $8,000,000 and the company’s insurance policy has maximum coverage of $15,000,000 for this. The deductible on the policy is $300,000. The company is concerned that the insurance premium ($200,000 in 2014) will double in 2015. Instructions For each of the above events, state the accounting treatment you believe is most appropriate. Be specific, and give your rationale. Solution 13-88 Event 1: The event is more likely than not to happen and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Yew Corp. should accrue an additional expense for 2014 based on the most likely outcome of a 4% wage increase retroactive for one year. In the notes to the financial statements, they should provide the range for the potential expense (2-5%, 1-2 years). Event 2: If Yew Corp. considers this to be a contingent liability, note disclosure only would be appropriate, since the event is likely to happen but cannot be reasonably estimated. If they do not, then no disclosure is required.

13- 41

Event 3: The $300,000 deductible payment should be accrued in 2014 as a loss from fire. While the premium is likely to increase and can be reasonably measured, the cost relates to future periods and therefore no expense should be accrued for 2014. Full disclosure of the event and of the expected cost increase for next year is appropriate, unless the amount is immaterial. Alternatives the company could consider: 1. Shop around for a better deal on insurance. 2. Avoid the potential premium increase by choosing to self-insure.

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the nature of long-term debt financing arrangements. Incurring long-term debt is often a formal procedure. Corporation bylaws usually require the approval of the board of directors and the shareholders before bonds can be issued or other long-term debt arrangements can be contracted. Generally, long-term debt has various covenants or restrictions. The covenants and other terms of the agreement between the borrower and the lender are stated in the bond indenture or note agreement. Notes are similar in substance to bonds but do not trade as readily in capital markets, if at all. The variety of types of bonds and notes is a result of attempts to attract capital from different investors and risk takers and to satisfy the issuers’ cash flow needs. External credit rating agencies rate bonds and assign a credit rating based on the riskiness. The credit rating helps investors decide whether to invest in a particular bond. Companies sometimes extinguish debt early using a defeasance arrangement. In a defeasance arrangement, funds are deposited into a trust and the trust continues to make the regularly scheduled payments until maturity. By using debt financing, companies can maximize income through the use of leverage. Capitalintensive industries often have higher levels of debt. Continued access to low-cost debt is important for maximizing shareholder value.

2. Understand how long-term debt is measured and accounted for. The investment community values a bond at the present value of its future cash flows, which consist of interest and principal. The rate that is used to calculate the present value of these cash flows is the interest rate that provides an acceptable return on an investment that matches the issuer’s risk characteristics. The interest rate written in the terms of the bond indenture and ordinarily appearing on the bond certificate is the stated, coupon, or nominal rate. This rate, which is set by the issuer of the bonds, is expressed as a percentage of the bond’s face value, which is also called the par value, principal amount, or maturity value. If the rate used by the buyers differs from the stated rate, the bond’s present value calculated by the buyers will differ from the bond’s face value. The difference between the bond’s face value and the present value is either a discount or a premium. Long-term debt is measured at fair value on initial recognition, including transaction costs where the instruments will subsequently be valued at amortized cost. Subsequently, the instruments are measured at amortized cost or, in certain limited situations, fair value, under the fair value option. The discount (premium) is amortized and charged (credited) to interest expense over the period of time that the bonds are outstanding. IFRS requires the effective interest method; however, ASPE allows a choice and often smaller private entities use the straight-line method. Bonds and notes may be issued with zero interest or for a non-monetary consideration. Measurement of the bonds and the consideration must reflect the underlying substance of the transaction. In particular, reasonable interest rates must be imputed. The fair value of the debt and of the non-monetary consideration should be used to value the transaction.

3. Understand when long-term debt is recognized and derecognized, including how to account for troubled debt restructurings. At the time of reacquisition, the unamortized premium or discount and any costs of issue that apply to the debt must be amortized up to the reacquisition date. The amount that is paid on extinguishment or redemption before maturity, including any call premium and expense of reacquisition, is the reacquisition price. On any

specified date, the debt’s net carrying amount is the amount that is payable at maturity, adjusted for unamortized premium or discount and the cost of issuance. Any excess of the net carrying amount over the reacquisition price is a gain from extinguishment, whereas the excess of the reacquisition price over the net carrying amount is a loss from extinguishment. Legal defeasance results in derecognition of the liability. In-substance defeasance does not. Where debt is settled by exchanging the old debt with new debt (generally in troubled debt situations), it is treated as a settlement where the terms of the agreements are substantially different, including a size test, and where the new debt is with a new lender. If not treated as a settlement, it is treated as a modification of the old debt and a new interest rate is imputed. Off–balance sheet financing is an attempt to borrow funds in such a way that the obligations are not recorded. One type of off–balance sheet financing involves the use of certain variable interest entities. Accounting standard setters are studying this area with the objective of coming up with a new definition of what constitutes the reporting entity.

4. Explain how long-term debt is presented on the statement of financial position. Companies that have large amounts and many issues of long-term debt often report only one amount in the SFP and support this with comments and schedules in the accompanying notes. Long-term debt that matures within one year should be reported as a current liability, unless it will be retired without using current assets. If the debt is to be refinanced, converted into shares, or retired from a bond retirement fund, it should continue to be reported as noncurrent and accompanied by a note explaining the method to be used in its liquidation unless certain conditions are met.

5. Identify disclosure requirements. Note disclosures are significant and generally indicate the nature of the liabilities, maturity dates, interest rates, call provisions, conversion privileges, restrictions imposed by the creditors, and assets designated or pledged as security as well as other details.

6. Calculate and interpret key ratios related to solvency and liquidity. Debt to total assets and times interest earned are two ratios that provide information about debt-paying ability and long-term solvency.

7. Identify major differences in accounting standards between IFRS and ASPE, and what changes are expected in the near future. IFRS and ASPE are largely converged as they relate to long-term debt. Small differences relate to whether the debt is presented as current or noncurrent and in measurement. For example, ASPE has measurement standards for relatedparty transactions. The standard setters are working on several large projects, including the conceptual framework and financial instruments with the characteristics of equity.

EXERCISES Ex. 14-58 Underwriting for bond issues Explain the difference between firm underwriting and best efforts underwriting. Solution 14-58 With firm underwriting, an investment bank or brokerage will underwrite a bond issue by guaranteeing a specified amount to the bond issuer. Thus the broker assumes the risk of selling the bonds for whatever they can get. On the other hand, with best efforts underwriting, the agent (broker) will sell the bond issue for a commission that will be deducted from the sale proceeds.

Any excess of the carrying value over the reacquisition price is a gain from redemption, while any excess of the reacquisition price over the carrying value is a loss from redemption.

Ex. 14-70 Accounting for a troubled debt restructuring On December 31, 2014, Riverside Inc. is in financial difficulty and cannot pay a $350,000 note (with $35,000 accrued interest payable) to Stockton Corp. Stockton agrees to forgive the accrued interest, extend the maturity date to December 31, 2016, and reduce the interest rate to 4%. The present value of the restructured cash flows is $299,500. Instructions Prepare entries for the following: a. the restructure on Riverside's books b. the payment of interest on December 31, 2015 c. the restructure on Stockton’s books. Solution 14-70 a.

Ex. 14-71 Accounting for troubled debt a. What are the general rules for measuring and recognizing gain or loss by the debtor on a settlement of troubled debt, which includes the transfer of noncash assets? b. What are the general rules for measuring and recognizing a gain and for recording future payments by the debtor in a troubled debt restructuring? Solution 14-71 a. If the settlement of debt includes the transfer of noncash assets, a gain is measured by the debtor as the difference between the fair value of the assets transferred and the carrying amount of the debt, including accrued interest. The debtor also recognizes a gain or loss on the disposal of assets as the difference between the fair value of the assets transferred and their book value. b.

If the carrying amount of the payable is greater than the discounted total future cash flows, based on currently prevailing interest rates, the gain is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the discounted future cash flows. The gain is separately classified in the income statement and the nature of the restructuring is disclosed if the amount of the gain is material. The same treatment is given if a loss results. Future payments are used to reduce the principal and record interest expense.

PROBLEMS Pr. 14-72 Bond accounting, ratios, debt covenants Superior Equipment Corporation is a public Canadian company manufacturing high-precision equipment. On January 1, 2011, Superior issued a 12%, $10,000,000 bond, maturing in ten years. At January 1, 2014, the bond had a carrying value of $9,300,000. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method of amortizing any bond premium or discount. The bond carries covenants that call for the firm’s debt to total assets ratio to be no higher than 50% and their times interest earned ratio to be at least 2. You are the CEO of Superior. You have been on the job for a year after the previous CEO was fired for missing earnings targets. You are a McGill University grad with a major in Accounting. Superior’s business is cyclical and the last two years have been tough. In recent months however, there have been signs of recovery in the industry, and many distributors have placed large orders for Superior’s equipment. Delivery of the equipment is expected in 2015 and 2016. You are under pressure from the Board of Directors to show improvement in the bottom line. It is now November 30, 2014, and you have just met with the company’s CFO, Ms. Grimm. In preparation for the coming year end on December 31, 2014, she has prepared forecasted financial statements, but has not included the effects of the $10,000,000 bond issue. Below is a summary of those statements: Income Statement Sales COGS Gross profit Operating expenses Operating income before interest expense Bond interest expense Income before income tax Income tax (35%) Net income Statement of financial position Current assets Non-current assets Total assets

Except for the bond, the company did not incur any other interest expense. The last time entries were recorded for the bond was at the end of the third quarter (September 30, 2014), when adjusting entries were prepared.

Instructions a. Prepare the journal entries related to the bond payable for the last quarter of 2014. The entries should reflect the payment of interest and related amortization of the premium or discount. b. Complete the forecasted financial statements for December 31, 2014 by including the effects of the bond payable. c. Using the financial statements from part b., calculate the times interest earned and debt to total assets ratios. d. Given your calculations in part c., is Superior forecasted to be in violation of the debt covenants? If yes, what action(s) would you recommend? Discuss the advantages/disadvantages of each recommendation. Solution 14-72 a. The interest to be paid on December 31, 2014 is $600,000 ($10,000,000 x12% x 6 ÷ 12). Half of this is to be recorded as interest expense for this quarter. Amortization of the premium is $100,000 per year, $25,000 for the fourth quarter. On September 30, 2014, at the end of the third quarter, the following entry would have been posted: Interest expense............................................................................ Bond interest payable ............................................................... Bond payable ...........................................................................

325,000 300,000 25,000

On December 31, 2014, Superior should post the following entry: Interest expense............................................................................

d.

Superior is forecasted to be in violation of the debt covenant. However, the ratios are very close to the minimum requirements. As CEO, you could recommend one of the following: 1. Do nothing and run the risk of a default on the bond, or possibly run the risk of a negative stock-market reaction for being in violation of the covenants. 2. Meet the creditors, present your case of expected economic recovery and ask them to wait one more quarter before acting or to waive the covenants for a short period. 3. Renegotiate with the creditors. The above options might be challenging given the need to convince many creditors and the possible market reaction. 4. If these are callable bonds or they can be purchased on the open market, buy some of them back to extinguish some of the debt, which will also reduce the related interest expense. 5. Sell some operating assets that will yield a gain and use the proceeds to lower debt. For example, using the proceeds to pay your suppliers earlier may improve relations if a potential debt restructuring is to be negotiated. 6. Apply earnings management techniques to increase earnings and total assets. For example, cut back on discretionary expenses such as advertising, repairs & maintenance, promotion, etc. Option 4. might help to avoid the debt to total assets ratio violation, but might be too late to avoid interest expense and the violation of the times Interest earned ratio violation.

Pr. 14-73 Bond interest and discount amortization On June 1, 2014, Santa Ana Corp. sold 10 year, $500,000 (face value) bonds for $438,800.

Pr. 14-75 Fair value option Explain the fair value option for accounting for long-term debt, including both the ASPE approach and the IFRS requirements. Solution 14-75 Long-term debt is usually accounted for at amortized cost. However, both ASPE and IFRS allow the use of the fair value option, whereby financial instruments are carried at fair (market) value, an option encouraged by standard setters, although the requirements differ. ASPE allows the use of the fair value option for all financial instruments, with all changes in fair value recognized in net income. IFRS explicitly requires that the option be used only where fair value results in more relevant information. As well, IFRS 13 requires that non-performance risk (including credit risk) be included in the fair value measurement. This gives rise to a peculiar situation, since, if the credit risk is deemed to be high, the carrying value of the debt should be reduced (e.g. Dr Bond Payable) and a gain recognized. Any such gain is booked to Other Comprehensive Income.

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Discuss the characteristics of the corporate form of organization, rights of shareholders, and different types of shares. The three main forms of organization are the proprietorship, partnership, and corporation. Incorporation gives shareholders protection against claims on their personal assets and allows greater access to capital markets. If there are no restrictive provisions, each share carries the following rights: (1) to share proportionately in profits and losses, (2) to share proportionately in management (the right to vote for directors), upon liquidation. An additional right to share proportionately in any new issues of shares of the same class (called the preemptive right) may also be attached to the share. Preferred shares are a special class of share that possess certain preferences or features that common shares do not have. Most often, these features are a preference over dividends and a preference over assets in the event of liquidation. Many other preferences may be attached to specific shares. Preferred shareholders give up some or all of the rights normally attached to common shares.

2. Explain how to account for the issuance, reacquisition, and retirement of shares, stock splits, and dividend distribution. Shares are recognized and measured at net cost when issued. Shares may be issued on a subscription basis, in which case they are not considered legally issued until they are paid up. Shares may also be issued as a bundle with other securities, in which case the cost must be allocated between the securities. The residual or relative fair value methods (sometimes referred to as the incremental or proportional methods) may be used to allocate the cost. If the reacquisition cost of the shares is greater than the original cost, the acquisition cost is allocated to share capital, then contributed surplus, and then retained earnings. If the cost is less, the cost is allocated to share capital (to stated or assigned cost) and to contributed surplus. Dividends paid to shareholders are affected by the dividend preferences of the preferred shares. Preferred shares can be cumulative or non-cumulative, and fully participating, partially participating, or non-participating. A stock dividend is a capitalization of retained earnings that generally results in a reduction in retained earnings and a corresponding increase in certain contributed capital accounts. The total shareholders’ equity remains unchanged with a stock dividend. A stock split results in an increase or decrease in the number of shares outstanding. However, no accounting entry is required. 3. Understand the components of shareholders’ equity and how they are presented. Contributed surplus is additional surplus coming from shareholder transactions. Accumulated other comprehensive income is accumulated non-shareholder income that has not been booked through net income. ASPE does not discuss this concept. The shareholders’ equity section of a balance sheet includes Share Capital, Contributed Surplus, Retained Earnings, and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. A statement of changes in shareholders’ equity is required under IFRS.

4. Understand capital disclosure requirements. Basic disclosure requirements include authorized and issued share capital and changes during the period. Rights attached to shares should be presented, and where dividends are in arrears, this should also be disclosed. Where there are restrictions on retained earnings or dividends, this should be disclosed. Under IFRS, companies must also disclose information about their objectives, policies, and processes for managing capital and show summary quantitative information regarding what the company considers its capital.

5. Calculate and interpret key ratios relating to equity. Common ratios used in this area are the rate of return on common shareholders’ equity, payout ratio, price earnings ratio, and book value per share.

6. Identify the major differences in accounting between ASPE and IFRS, and what changes are expected in the near future. In several cases, ASPE provides more guidance, as noted in the comparison chart. IFRS requires a statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, whereas ASPE requires a statement of changes in retained earnings (with additional note disclosure regarding the changes in equity). The IASB and FASB are continuing to work on a financial statements project as well as a liability and equity project.

7. Explain how to account for par value and treasury shares. These shares may only be valued at par value in the common or preferred share accounts. The excess goes to contributed surplus. On a repurchase or cancellation, the par value is removed from the common or preferred share accounts and any excess or deficit is booked to contributed surplus or retained earnings, as was discussed for no par shares. Treasury shares are created when a company repurchases its own shares and does not cancel or retire them at the same time; that is, they remain outstanding. The single-transaction method is used when treasury shares are purchased. This method treats the purchase and subsequent resale or cancellation as part of the same transaction.

8. Explain how to account for a financial reorganization. A corporation that has accumulated a large debit balance (deficit) in retained earnings may enter into a process known as a financial reorganization. During a reorganization, creditors and shareholders negotiate a deal to put the company on a new footing. This generally involves a change in control and a comprehensive revaluation of assets and liabilities. The procedure consists of the following steps: (1) The deficit is reclassified so that the ending balance in Retained Earnings is zero. (2) The change in control is recorded. (3) All assets and liabilities are comprehensively revalued at current values so that the company will not be burdened with having to complete inventory or fixed asset valuations in following years.

Ex. 15-128 Shares issued in noncash transactions What are the different bases for share valuation when assets other than cash are received for issued shares? Solution 15-128 The general rule to be applied when shares are issued for services or assets other than cash is that the shares be recorded at either their fair value or the fair value of the services or assets, whichever is more clearly determinable. If neither is readily determinable, the value to be assigned is generally established by the board of directors.

Ex. 15-129 Reacquisition of shares Norway Corp. originally sold 1,000,000 of its no par common shares at $13 a share. Later, Norway bought back 6,000 shares of these shares at $17 a share.

Ex. 15-130 Reacquisition of shares For numerous reasons, a corporation may reacquire its own shares. When a corporation does this, the CBCA requires that the purchased shares be cancelled. Instructions Explain how a corporation would account for each of the following: a. Purchase of shares at a price less than the carrying value of the shares b. Purchase of shares at a price greater than the carrying value of the shares c. The effect on net income Solution 15-130 a. If the acquisition cost is less than the carrying value of the shares, the acquisition cost should be allocated as follows: i. To share capital, in an amount equal to the par, stated, or average value of the shares; ii. The difference to contributed surplus. b.

If the acquisition cost is greater than the carrying value of the shares, the acquisition cost should be allocated as follows: i. To share capital, in an amount equal to the par, stated, or average value of the shares; ii. Any excess, to contributed surplus, to the extent that contributed surplus was created by any excess of proceeds over cost on cancellation or resale of shares of the same class; iii. Any excess, to contributed surplus in an amount equal to the pro rata share of the portion of contributed surplus that arose from transactions, other than those in b. above, in the same class of shares; iv. Any excess to retained earnings.

c.

There is no effect on net income as a result of the reacquisition and cancellation of shares.

Ex. 15-131 Determination of dividend amount Describe some of the factors that a board of directors may consider when determining the amount of cash dividends to declare.

Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page is prohibited


15- 44

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

Solution 15-131 Some factors are: 1. agreements (bond and loan covenants) with creditors that require the retention of retained earnings 2. desire to use profits to reinvest in and expand the business 3. desire to have a smooth dividend stream even if income stream is not smooth 4. desire to build up a safety margin for losses or errors 5. availability of cash to pay the dividend (liquidity)

Ex. 15-132 Items affecting retained earnings What are the items that increase or decrease retained earnings? Solution 15-132 Items that increase retained earnings are net incomes, prior period adjustments (error corrections), financial reorganization, and certain changes in accounting principle. Items that decrease retained earnings are net losses, cash, property and most stock dividends, some treasury shares transactions, prior period adjustments (error corrections), and certain changes in accounting principle.

Ex. 15-133 Stock dividends Describe the accounting treatment for the declaration of a common stock dividend. Solution 15-133 If the issuing corporation is incorporated under the CBCA, the declaration would result in the transfer from retained earnings to contributed capital of an amount equal to the market value of each new share issued. Retained Earnings is debited for the total amount transferred; Common Stock Dividend Distributable is credited for the same amount. If the dividend is less than 20–25%, it is considered a small stock dividend, and would be treated this way. If, however, the stock dividend is greater than 20–25%, it is called a large stock dividend, and if the issuing corporation is not incorporated under the CBCA, it can choose to account for it like a small stock dividend, but measure at either the market value or the par or stated value of the shares, OR it can treat it as a stock split (memo entry only). In the U.S., the SEC supports treating a large stock dividend as a split. In Canada, there is no specific guidance, thus professional judgement must be used, although there may be legal constraints to consider.

Ex. 15-134 Stock dividends and stock splits Indicate the principal effects of a stock dividend versus a stock split as they affect the issuing corporation.

*Ex. 15-145 Financial reorganization Describe the accounting steps involved in a financial reorganization. *Solution 15-145 A financial reorganization consists of the following steps: 1. Any asset writedowns or impairments that existed prior to the reorganization should be recorded first. 2.

The changes in debt and equity as negotiated are recorded. Often debt is exchanged for equity, resulting in a change in control.

3.

The assets and liabilities are comprehensively revalued. This step assigns appropriate fair values to all assets and liabilities as per the negotiations. The difference between the carrying values prior to the reorganization and the new values after is known as a revaluation adjustment. The revaluation adjustment and any costs incurred to carry out the financial reorganization are accounted for as capital transactions and are closed to Share Capital, Contributed Surplus or a separately identified account within Shareholders’ Equity. The new costs of the identifiable assets and liabilities must not exceed the fair value of the entity if known.

Other information: 1) Last year, the net income was $3,500,000, and $3,300,000 cash dividends were paid. 2) Dumbledore has two debt agreements that call for the corporation to maintain at least $2,500,000 in retained earnings, as well as maintain a debt-to-total-assets ratio of no more than 70%. 3) There has been no change in the number of shares outstanding during the year. You start to think about the recommendations you are going to make. It is the end of November, and historically the corporation has declared dividends five days before the end of the year. Instructions a. What factors will limit the amount to be distributed as dividends? b. What are important considerations in your decision? What would you recommend? Provide any journal entry that is related to your decision. Solution 15-150 a. You need to ascertain how much can be distributed in dividends. Look at all your constraints. i) Retained earnings constraint. The debt covenant requires that Dumbledore must maintain $2,500,000 in retained earnings. The balance in retained earnings is currently $7,800,000, so the maximum dividend is $5,300,000. ii) Cash on hand constraint. As long as you do not decide to borrow additional cash, theoretically you could distribute all your cash on hand, so the dividend would be a maximum of $4,000,000. However, for practical purposes, the firm must maintain a certain level of cash for its day-to-day operations, so the actual dividend you can pay is lower. iii) Debt-to-total assets constraint. You can distribute dividends only to the point that this ratio does not exceed 70%. Currently, the ratio is 64.6% as total debt is $25,000,000 and total assets are $38,700,000. You are limited to distributing at most $3,000,000. This will bring the ratio to 70% = 25 ÷ 35.7. b.

There are many considerations involved in this decision, and there is no single correct answer. Some of the main considerations are: i) Since Dumbledore distributed $3,300,000 in dividends last year, a dividend of “only” $3,000,000 will imply a dividend reduction. Firms are usually reluctant to lower dividends, so distributing $3,000,000 may not be good for shareholder relations or your image in the marketplace. ii)

Even if you are not constrained, you might not want to make the dividend too large. True, this year the firm fared well, but if you distribute all the income as a dividend, and

Shareholders’ Equity

15- 57

next year’s income is lower, you would have to lower your dividend, which again is not desirable. iii) Another reason to not distribute a high dividend is that it might suggest the firm does not have future growth opportunities. A business should limit dividends, if the retained capital can be invested in projects with high returns. If the business does not have such projects, it is better off to distribute the earnings. If the business still has good investment opportunities, then you do not want to send the wrong message. iv) Last year’s payout ratio was very high - 94.3% (3.3 ÷ 3.5). However, maintaining a high payout ratio might create the problems already mentioned. v)

You need to make sure that after you distribute cash dividends, enough resources are available to pay current liabilities. Current ratio excluding cash = 10,400,000 ÷ 9,000,000 = 1.16, so the firm does seem to be able to meet its short-term obligations even if it distributes all its cash.

vi) Another solution would be to distribute a cash dividend of $3,000,000 and then a stock dividend (e.g. for $1,000,000). This will allow Dumbledore to increase the overall dividends and not violate any of the constraints. However, since the stock dividend does not give cash to the shareholders, they might not appreciate it. vii) To be able to pay more cash dividends, you need to take some action. You could sell some non-current assets and use some of the proceeds to pay down on debt, and some to distribute as dividends. Suppose you sell a $4,000,000 asset at no gain and use $2,000,000 of the proceeds to reduce debt. The change to the balance sheet amounts is: Cash plus $2,000,000 Non-current assets minus $4,000,000 Liabilities minus $2,000,000 Debt is down to $23,000,000, total assets are down to $36,700,000, and cash is increased to $6,000,000. The-debt-to-total-assets constraint allows you to distribute dividends of up to $3,840,000 and you will have plenty of cash to do so. So if you declare a cash dividend of $3,800,000, you are able to increase the dividend but still satisfy all constraints. viii) Since Dumbledore has $7,000,000 in investments, given other constraints are satisfied, another consideration is a property dividend. ix) If time allows, the corporation could issue more shares, which will relax the debt-tototal- assets ratio and the cash constraint.

Complex Financial Instruments

16- 3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand what derivatives are and how they are used to manage risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive (get) their value from an underlying instrument. They are attractive since they transfer risks and rewards without having to necessarily invest directly in the underlying instrument. They are used for both speculative purposes (to expose a company to increased risks in the hope of increased returns) and for hedging purposes (to reduce existing risk). Financial risks include credit, currency, interest rate, liquidity, market, and other price risks. Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument contract will fail to deliver. Currency and interest rate risk are the risk of a change in value and cash flows due to currency or interest rate changes. Liquidity risk is the risk that the company itself will not be able to honour the contract due to cash problems. Finally, market risk is the risk of a change in value and/or cash flows related to market forces.

2. Understand how to account for derivatives. Derivatives are recognized on the SFP on the date that the contract is initiated. They are remeasured, on each SFP date, to their fair value. The related gains and losses are recorded through net income. Written options create liabilities. Futures contracts require the company to deposit a portion of the contracts’ value with the broker/exchange. The contracts are marked to market by the broker/exchange daily and the company may have to deposit additional funds to cover deficiencies in the margin account. Purchase commitments that are net settleable and are not “expected use” contracts are accounted for as derivatives under IFRS. Under ASPE, purchase commitments are never accounted for as derivatives because they are not exchange-traded futures contracts. Exchange-traded derivatives relating to commodities are generally accounted for as derivatives under ASPE. Special hedge accounting may affect how derivatives are accounted for. Under IFRS, derivatives that are settleable in the entity’s own equity instruments are accounted for as equity (or contra-equity) if they will be settled by exchanging a fixed number of equity instruments for a fixed amount of cash or other assets and they do not create an obligation to deliver cash or other assets. Otherwise, they are financial assets/liabilities. In general, if the instruments are net settleable or have settlement options, they most often do not meet the criteria for equity presentation and are therefore financial assets/liabilities. IFRS provides significantly more guidance with respect to the accounting for these instruments.

3. Analyze whether a hybrid/compound instrument issued for financing purposes represents a liability, equity, or both. Complex instruments include compound and hybrid instruments where the legal form may differ from the economic substance. The economic substance dictates the accounting. The main issue is that of presentation: should the instrument be presented as debt or equity? The definitions of debt and equity are useful in analyzing this. It is also important to understand what gives the instruments their value from a finance or economic perspective. If an instrument has both debt and equity components, use of the proportional and incremental methods will help in allocating the carrying value between the two components. There are differences in measuring compound financial instruments under IFRS versus ASPE. Related interest, dividends, gains, and losses are treated in a way that is consistent with the SFP presentation.

4. Explain the accounting for hybrid/compound instruments. The method for recording convertible bonds at the date of issuance is different from the method that is used to record straight debt issues. As the instrument is a compound instrument and contains both debt and equity components, these must be measured separately and presented as debt and equity, respectively. Any discount or premium that results from the issuance of convertible bonds is amortized, assuming the bonds will be held to maturity. If bonds are converted into other securities, the principal accounting problem is to determine the amount at which to record the securities that have been exchanged for the bond. The book value method is often used in practice. ASPE allows an entity to value the equity portion of compound instruments at $0.

5. Describe the various types of stock compensation plans. Stock compensation includes direct awards of stock (when a company gives the shares to an employee as compensation), compensatory stock option plans whereby an employee is given stock options in lieu of salary, share appreciation rights (SARs), and performance-type plans. SARs and performance-type plans are discussed in Appendix 16B. Employee stock option plans are meant to motivate employees and raise capital for the company. They are therefore capital transactions. Compensatory stock option plans are operating transactions since they are meant to compensate the employee for service provided.

6. Describe the accounting for share-based compensation. CSOPs and direct awards of stock are measured at fair value (using an options pricing model) at the grant date. The cost is then allocated to expense over the period that the employee provides service. As noted above, SARs and performance-type plans are discussed in Appendix 16B.

7. Identify the major differences in accounting between ASPE and IFRS, and what changes are expected in the near future. The differences are noted in the comparison chart. The stock-based compensation standards are largely converged and stable; however, the IASB is currently working on several projects relating to financial instruments including defining equity versus liabilities and hedging.

EXERCISES Ex. 16-78 Definition of derivative instruments Define and explain derivative instruments. Solution 16-78 Derivatives are financial instruments, which create rights and obligations that have the effect of transferring between parties to the instrument one or more of the financial risks inherent in an underlying primary instrument without having to transfer the underlying instrument. Derivative instruments require little or no initial investment, their values change in response to the underlying instrument, and they are settled at a future date.

Ex. 16-79 Put options On November 15, 2014, Raleigh Inc. purchases a held-for-trading investment for $250,000. Rowena also enters into a put option to sell the shares for $250,000.

Ex. 16-80 Convertible debt and debt with warrants What accounting treatment is required for convertible debt? Why? What accounting treatment is required for debt issued with stock warrants? Why? Solution 16-80 Convertible debt is a hybrid/compound financial instrument and is generally treated as having both a debt component and an equity component. The conversion feature makes the bond more valuable to an investor and therefore the convertible feature has value. Under IFRS, compound instruments must be split into their components and presented separately in the financial statements. IFRS also requires the use of the residual method: the value of the debt component is determined, and the balance is assigned to the equity component (as contributed surplus). ASPE allows a zero value to be assigned to the equity component, or the use of the residual method. When debt is issued with stock warrants, the warrants are also given separate recognition. After issue, the debt and the detachable warrants trade separately. The proceeds may be allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt security without the warrants and the warrants at the time of issue, or by the residual method. The proceeds allocated to the warrants should also be accounted for as contributed surplus.

Ex. 16-81 Convertible bonds On December 1, 2014, Boston Corp. issued $5,000,000 (par value), 12%, 5-year convertible bonds for $5,026,000 plus accrued interest. The bonds were dated April 1, 2014 with interest payable April 1 and October 1. If the bonds had NOT been convertible, they would have sold for $5,006,000. Bond premium/discount is amortized each interest period on a straight-line basis. Boston does NOT value the equity component at zero. Boston’s fiscal year end is September 30. On October 1, 2015, half of these bonds were converted into 35,000 no par common shares. Accrued interest was paid in cash at the time of conversion. Instructions a. Prepare the entry to record the interest expense at April 1, 2015. Assume that interest payable was credited when the bonds were issued (round to nearest dollar). b.

On May 31, after the required interest was paid, all the bonds were converted into 3,000 no par value common shares, which were currently trading at $50 per share. Instructions How should Atlanta account for the conversion of the bonds under the book value method? Discuss the rationale for this method. Solution 16-82 To account for the conversion of bonds under the book value method, Bonds Payable should be debited for the current carrying value, the entire amount of Contributed Surplus—Conversion Rights should be removed (debited) and Common Shares should be credited for the total of these two amounts. The current market value of the shares is irrelevant. No gain or loss on conversion is recorded. The amount to be recorded for the shares is equal to the carrying value of the bonds plus the balance of the Contributed Surplus—Conversion Rights that was recorded when the convertible bonds were first issued. The rationale for the book value method is that the conversion is the completion of the transaction initiated when the bonds were issued. Since this is viewed as a transaction with shareholders, no gain or loss should be recognized. Note that both ASPE and IFRS require the use of the book value method.

Ex. 16-83 Redeemable preferred shares and succession planning Explain how redeemable preferred shares are used in succession planning for small business corporations. Solution 16-83 In succession planning for a small business, it is advantageous to use high/low redeemable preferred shares. The common shares of the existing company are transferred to a new company on a tax deferred basis. The retiring family member receives new redeemable preferred shares that will freeze his/her interest at the current value of the business. These shares may be redeemed over time. The next generation of the family receives the new common shares which will result in any future increase in value of the business accruing to them.

Ex. 16-84 Stock options Prepare the necessary entries from January 1, 2014 to February 1, 2016 for the following events. If no entry is needed, write "No entry necessary." 1. On January 1, 2014, the shareholders of Musetta Inc. adopted a stock option plan for its top executives, where each could receive rights to purchase up to 3,000 common shares at $40 per share. At this date, the shares were trading for $32 per share. 2. On February 1, 2014, options were granted to five executives to purchase 3,000 shares each. The options were non-transferable and the executive had to remain an employee of the company to exercise the option. The options expire on February 1, 2016. It is assumed that the options were for services performed equally in 2014 and 2015. The Black-Scholes option pricing model determined total compensation expense to be $390,000. 3. On February 1, 2016, four executives exercised their options. The fifth executive chose not to exercise her options, which therefore were forfeited. Solution 16-84 1. January 1, 2014

Pr. 16-88 Employee stock options On November 1, 2012, London Corp. adopted a stock option plan allowing certain of their executives to purchase a total of 30,000 common shares. The options were granted on January 2, 2013, and were exercisable four years after the grant date (Jan 2, 2017), as long as the executives were still employees. The options expire eight years from the grant date. The exercise price was set at $46 and, using an option pricing model to value the options, the total compensation expense was estimated to be $510,000. At January 2, 2013, the market price of the shares was $50. On January 1, 2014, 3,000 options were terminated (forfeited) when an employee left the company. The market value of the shares at that date was $32. All the remaining options were exercised during 2017: 17,000 on January 3 when the market price was $62, and 10,000 on May 1 when the market price was $77. Instructions a. Calculate the intrinsic value and the time value of the stock option. b. Prepare journal entries relating to the stock option plan for the years 2013 through 2017. Assume that the employees perform services equally from 2013 through 2016. Year end is December 31. c. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of offering stock options to employees as a means of compensation.

Solution 16-88 a. The intrinsic value of the option is the difference between the market price and the strike (exercise) price. In this case the market price is $50 and the strike price is $46. Intrinsic value component: ($50 – $46) x 30,000 = $120,000 The time value of the option is the remaining value of the options. Since the total value of the options is $510,000, then the difference between the total value and the intrinsic value should be the time value component. Time value component: $510,000 – $120,000 = $390,000 b. Jan 2/13

There are several advantages and disadvantages to the use of stock options as compensation. Advantages • This type of compensation is tied to performance which should motivate employees to work hard. • The mandatory service period helps to retain employees. If employees become more productive over time, as they become more experienced, then the firm benefits. • Employees become shareholders if they exercise the options. This ensures that they will act in the best interests of the company. • Employees will benefit from any appreciation of the stock price. Disadvantages • Employees might be low risk tolerant and therefore not like the risk inherent in stock options. • If employees do not understand the value of the options, they will not consider it a benefit and might ask for additional pay instead, so the firm will end up paying them more. • Employees have limited ability to affect the stock price, so the stock options might not motivate them to work hard.

Pr. 16-89 Convertible bonds and warrants For each of the unrelated situations described below, prepare the entries required to record the transactions. 1. On August 1, 2014, Alpha Corporation called its 10% convertible bonds for conversion. The $4,000,000 par value bonds were converted into 160,000 no par common shares. On August 1, there was $350,000 of unamortized premium applicable to the bonds. At the time of issuance, Contributed Surplus—Conversion Rights was credited for $150,000, which represented the equity portion of the convertible bonds, and the market value of the common shares was $20 per share. The company records the conversion using the book value method. Ignore all interest payments. 2. Beta Inc. issues 10% convertible bonds, par $1,000,000, at 97. The investment banker indicates that if the bonds had not been convertible they would have sold at 94. Use the residual method. 3. Gamma Ltd. issues $2,000,000 par value, 8% bonds. To help the sale, detachable stock warrants are issued at the rate of ten warrants for each $1,000 bond sold. It is estimated that the value of the bonds without the warrants is $1,974,000 and the value of the warrants is $126,000. The bonds with the warrants sold at 101. Use the residual method.

*Pr. 16-91 Hedging (forward contract) On May 1, 2014, Startrek Corp., a coffee wholesaler, placed an order with its supplier for six tons of coffee, to be delivered and paid for on September 30, 2014. At this time, the spot (current) price for one ton of coffee is $3,000, and the future (forward) price for September 30, 2014 delivery is $2,900. Thus, Startrek decided to enter into a forward contract for six tons of coffee at $2,900 per ton for September 30, 2014 delivery. It designated the contract as a cash flow hedge. The contract further calls for a net cash settlement. Startrek’s year end is June 30, 2014. At that date the spot price was $2,980, the future price for three month delivery was $2,880, and the future price for five month delivery was $2,850. On September 30, 2014, when the spot price was $2,940 and the future price for five month delivery was $2,980, the company took delivery of the coffee, paid its supplier and settled the forward contract. On October 31, 2014, Startrek sold three tons of coffee from this delivery to Java Unlimited for $3,400 per ton cash. Assume all prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD). Instructions

Given the information above, should Startrek have hedged this transaction? Why? Would your answer be different if the future price were $3,100? Prepare journal entries for the following dates in 2014: May 1, June 30, September 30 and October 31. Startrek is a publicly traded corporation and follows IFRS requirements.

*Solution 16-91 a. The decision as to whether or not to hedge this transaction should depend on whether the company desires to eliminate the market risk associated with the fluctuations in the price of coffee. There is an optimal level of risk a firm desires to take on, and accordingly a decision should be made. The future price should not affect the decision as it represents the market expectations of the price at the time the company will take delivery and pay for the coffee. The future price will affect the decision only in case the company has different expectations than the market about the future price. Because Startrek is not a currency speculator, but makes its profits from selling coffee, it would make sense for this company to lower its market risk and hedge the transaction. b. May 1: No entry.

Earnings Per Share

17 - 3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand why earnings per share (EPS) is an important number. Earnings per share numbers give common shareholders an idea of the amount of earnings that can be attributed to each common share. This information is often used to predict future cash flows from the shares and to value companies.

2. Understand when and how earnings per share must be presented, including related disclosures. Under IFRS, EPS must be presented for all public companies or companies that are intending to go public. The calculations must be presented on the face of the income statement for net income from continuing operations and net income (for both basic EPS and diluted EPS in the case of complex capital structures). When there are discontinued operations, the per share impact of these items must also be shown, but it can be shown either on the face of the income statement or in the notes. Comparative calculations must also be shown.

3. Calculate earnings per share for companies with a simple capital structure. Basic earnings per share is an actual calculation that takes income available to common shareholders and divides it by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

4. Calculate earnings per share for companies with a complex capital structure. Diluted earnings per share is a “what if” calculation that considers the impact of potential common shares. Potential common shares include convertible debt and preferred shares, options and warrants, contingently issuable shares, and other instruments that may result in additional common shares being issued by the company. They are relevant because they may cause the present interests of the common shareholders to become diluted. The if-converted method considers the impact of convertible securities such as convertible debt and preferred shares. It assumes that the instruments are converted at the beginning of the year (or issue date, if later) and that any related interest or dividend is thus avoided. The treasury stock method looks at the impact of written call options on EPS numbers. It assumes that the options are exercised at the beginning of the year and that the money from the exercise is used to buy back shares in the open market at the average common share price. The reverse treasury stock method looks at the impact of written put options. It assumes that the options are exercised at the beginning of the year and that the company first issues shares in the market (at the average share price) to obtain sufficient funds to buy the shares under the option. Antidilutive potential common shares are irrelevant since they would result in diluted EPS calculations that are higher than the basic EPS. Diluted EPS must show the worst possible EPS number. Note that purchased options and written options that are not in the money are ignored for purposes of calculating diluted EPS because they are either antidilutive or will not be exercised.

5. Identify the major differences in accounting between ASPE and IFRS, and what changes are expected in the near future. ASPE does not prescribe accounting standards for

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income less preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. b.

A complex capital structure exists when a corporation has convertible securities, options, warrants, or other rights that upon conversion or exercise could dilute earnings per share.

c.

Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

d.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, plus all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

Ex. 17-45 Basic and diluted earnings per share Throughout the calendar year 2014, Collie Corporation has 400,000 common shares outstanding (no preferred shares issued). In addition, Collie has 5,000, 20-year, 7% bonds outstanding, issued at par in 2012. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 20 common shares

after June 30, 2015. Collie reported net income of $600,000 for calendar 2014. Their income tax rate is 30%. Instructions Calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for 2014. Solution 17-45 Basic earnings per share:

Net income $600,000 = $1.50 = Outstandin g shares 400,000

Incremental effect of conversion of bonds: Bond interest after taxes $245,000 = $2.45 = Assumed incrementa l shares 100,000 Net income + Interest after taxes Diluted earnings per share: Assumed outstanding shares $600,000 + $245,000 ($350,000 × .7 = $245,000); = $1.69 400,000 + 100,000 Therefore the bonds are antidilutive, and basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.50 should be reported.

Ex. 17-46 Basic and diluted earnings per share Bulldog Inc. reported net income (30% tax rate) of $1,600,000 for calendar 2014, and an average of 500,000 common shares outstanding during the year. Bulldog issued $2,000,000 par value, 10-year, 9% convertible bonds on January 1, 2012 at a $18,000 discount. The bonds are convertible into 60,000 common shares. Bulldog uses the straight-line method for amortizing the bond discount. Instructions Calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for 2014. Solution 17-46 Basic earnings per share ($1,600,000 ÷ 500,000 shares) = $3.20 Diluted earnings per share $1,600,000 + .7($180,000 + $1,800) ————————————————— = $3.08 500,000 + 60,000

Ex. 17-47 Effect of dilutive securities on earnings per share calculations A publicly accountable enterprise is planning on issuing the following two securities in the coming year: 1. Convertible debt where mandatory conversion will take place five years after issue. 2. Debt with detachable warrants. The warrants can be exercised if profits exceed $1,000,000 in the next five years.

Earnings Per Share

Instructions Discuss how these two securities will affect the earnings per share calculation. Solution 17-47 1. The convertible debt is an example of an instrument that is mandatorily convertible. As a result, it is assumed the conversion has already taken place for calculating earnings per share. The common shares should be treated as if they were outstanding and included in the weighted average of common shares calculation. 2.

The second instrument is an example of contingently issuable shares, contingent on profits exceeding $1,000,000 for the shares to be issued. If this condition is already met, then the shares must be treated as if they are issued. However, if the condition has not been met, then these shares should not be included in the EPS calculation until the condition has been met.

Ex. 17-48 Diluted earnings per share During 2014, Basenji Corp. had 300,000 common shares outstanding. In addition, at December 31, 2014, 50,000 shares were issuable upon exercise of executive stock options, which require a $40 cash payment upon exercise (options were granted in 2012). The average market price of the common shares during 2014 was $50. Instructions Calculate the number of shares to be used in determining diluted earnings per share for 2014. Solution 17-48 Shares outstanding (given) ......................................................... Add: Assumed issuance of stock options .................................... Deduct: Proceeds/Average market price ($2,000,000 ÷ $50) ...... Number of shares to use for diluted EPS ....................................

Additional information: 1. The common and preferred shares and the convertible bonds were outstanding from the beginning of the year. 2. In 2014, a $500,000 dividend was declared and distributed, however, no dividends were declared in 2013. 3. The average market price of the common shares in 2014 was $30. The stock price was $27 on January 1, 2014, and $35 on December 31, 2014. 4. The convertible bonds were sold at par. 5. The income tax rate for 2014 is 30%. Instructions a. Calculate basic EPS. b.

EPS in general provides investors with the information on how much of the earnings each common share earned in the current year. This informs investors how much of the firm’s earnings they “own” and will help them in predicting future dividend payouts. Diluted EPS provides shareholders with a more realistic picture of the future EPS as it also considers complex financial instruments that are not common shares yet, but are likely to be converted into common shares, which will lower the current shareholder’s share of the earnings. Diluted EPS can also be viewed as a “worst case” scenario for the current shareholders.

Income Taxes

18- 3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the importance of income taxes from a business perspective. When a company decides where to set up its operations, a major consideration is the tax rate that it will face on its profits. The fact that corporate taxes can slow growth may help to explain why governments in Canada have steadily reduced corporate tax rates over time. For example, the combined federal and provincial tax rate declined from an average of approximately 43% to approximately 28% between 2000 and 2012.

2. Explain the difference between accounting income and taxable income, and calculate taxable income and current income taxes. Accounting income is calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Taxable income is calculated in accordance with prescribed tax legislation and regulations. Because tax legislation and GAAP have different objectives, accounting income and taxable income often differ. To calculate taxable income, companies start with their accounting income and then add and deduct items to adjust the GAAP measure of income to what is actually taxable and tax deductible in the period. Current tax expense and income taxes payable are determined by applying the current tax rate to taxable income.

3. Explain what a taxable temporary difference is, determine its amount, and calculate deferred tax liabilities. A taxable temporary difference is the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base with the consequence that, when the asset is recovered or the liability is settled in the future for an amount equal to its carrying value, the taxable income of that future period will be increased. Because taxes increase in the future as a result of temporary differences that exist at the balance sheet date, the future tax consequences of these taxable amounts are recognized in the current period as a deferred tax liability.

4. Explain what a deductible temporary difference is, determine its amount, and calculate deferred tax assets. A deductible temporary difference is the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base with the consequence that, when the asset is recovered or the liability is settled in the able income of that future period will be reduced. Because taxes are reduced in the future as a result of temporary differences that exist at the balance sheet date, the future tax consequences of these deductible amounts are recognized in the current period as a deferred tax asset.

5. Prepare analyses of deferred tax balances and record deferred tax expense. The following steps are taken: (1) identify all temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date; (2) calculate the correct net deferred tax asset or liability balance at the end of the period; (3) compare the balance in the deferred tax asset or liability before the adjustment with the correct balance at the balance sheet date—the difference is the deferred tax expense/benefit; and (4) make the journal entry, which is based on the change in the amount of the net deferred tax asset or liability.

6. Explain the effect of multiple tax rates and tax rate changes on income tax accounts, and calculate current and deferred tax amounts when there is a change in substantively enacted tax rates. Tax rates other than the existing rates can be used only when the future tax rates have been enacted into legislation or substantively enacted. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate that applies to the specific future years in which the temporary difference is expected to reverse. When there is a change in the future tax rate, its effect on the future tax accounts is recognized immediately. The effects are reported as an adjustment to deferred tax expense in the period of the change.

7. Account for a tax loss carryback. A company may carry a taxable loss back three years and receive refunds to a maximum of the income taxes paid in those years. Because the economic benefits related to the losses carried back are certain, they are recognized in the period of the loss as a tax benefit on the income statement and as an asset (income tax receivable) on the balance sheet.

8. Account for a tax loss carryforward, including any note disclosures. A post-2009 tax loss can be carried forward and applied against the taxable incomes of the next 20 years. If the economic benefits related to the tax loss are more likely than not to be realized during the carryforward period, they are recognized in the period of the loss as a deferred tax benefit in the income statement and as a deferred tax asset on the balance sheet. Otherwise, they are not recognized in the financial statements. Alternatively, ASPE also allows the use of a contra valuation allowance account, but this approach is not envisaged under current IFRS. Disclosure is required of the amounts of tax loss carryforwards and their expiry dates. If previously unrecorded tax losses are subsequently used to benefit a future period, the benefit is recognized in that future period.

9. Explain why the Deferred Tax Asset account is reassessed at the statement of financial position date, and account for the deferred tax asset with and without a valuation allowance account. Every asset must be assessed to ensure that it is not reported at an amount higher than the economic benefits that are expected to be received from the use or sale of the asset. The economic benefit to be received from the deferred tax asset is a reduction in deferred taxes payable. If it is unlikely that sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to allow the future deductions, the income tax asset may have to be written down. If previously unrecognized amounts are now expected to be realizable, a deferred tax asset is recognized. These entries may be made directly to the deferred tax asset account or through a valuation allowance contra account.

10. Identify and apply the presentation and disclosure requirements for income tax assets and liabilities, and apply intraperiod tax allocation. Under all methods, current income taxes payable or receivable are reported separately as a current liability or current asset. Under ASPE and assuming a single tax authority, future income tax assets and liabilities are classified as one net current amount and one net non-current amount based on the classification of the asset or liability to which the temporary difference relates. Other future tax accounts are classified according to when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Under IFRS, the deferred tax accounts are all classified as non-current. Current and deferred tax expense is reported separately with income before discontinued operations, discontinued operations, items in OCI, retained earnings, and other capital. Separate disclosure is required of

the amounts and expiry dates of unused tax losses, and the amount of deductible temporary differences for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized. ASPE calls for limited disclosures, but under IFRS, additional disclosures are required about temporary differences and unused tax losses, the major components of income tax expense, and the reasons for the difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective rate indicated on the income statement.

11. Identify the major differences between ASPE and IFRS for income taxes. ASPE allows an accounting policy choice—either the taxes payable method or the future income taxes method—while IFRS requires use of a method consistent with the future income taxes method, the temporary difference approach. The current differences relate to terminology, the balance sheet classification of deferred/future tax assets and liabilities, use of a valuation allowance, and the extent of disclosure.

12. Apply the temporary difference approach (future income taxes method) of accounting for income taxes in a comprehensive situation. In a comprehensive situation, take the following steps. (1) Calculate the current tax expense and payable; (2) determine the taxable and deductible temporary differences as the difference between the carrying amounts and tax bases of the assets and liabilities; calculate the correct balance of the deferred tax asset or liability account; (3) determine the deferred tax expense as the adjustment needed to the existing balance; (4) Make an adjusting entry to restate the deferred tax asset or liability amounts if a change in the future tax rates has been substantively enacted; and (5) Classify the net deferred/future tax asset or liability according to the accounting standards being applied.

EXERCISES Ex. 18-51 Temporary differences Explain the difference between a taxable temporary difference and a deductible temporary difference. Solution 18-51 Temporary differences are differences between the tax base of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements, which will result in taxable amounts or deductible amounts in future years. Taxable temporary differences increase taxable income in future years and cause a deferred tax liability to be recorded. Deductible temporary differences decrease taxable income in future years and cause a deferred tax asset to be recorded.

Ex. 18-52 Permanent and reversible differences Explain whether each of the following independent situations should be treated as a reversible difference or a permanent difference. 1. For accounting purposes, Aye Corp. reports revenue from instalment sales on the accrual basis. For income tax purposes it reports the revenues by the instalment method, deferring recognition of gross profit until cash is collected. 2. Pre-tax accounting income and taxable income differ because dividends received from Canadian corporations were not included in Bee Corp.’s taxable income, while 100% of the dividends received were included as revenue for financial statement purposes. 3. Cee Corp.’s estimated warranty costs (covering a three-year period) are expensed for accounting purposes at the time of sale, but deducted for income tax purposes only when paid. Solution 18-52 1. Reversible difference. This difference in the timing of revenue recognition between pre-tax accounting income and taxable income will initially increase pre-tax accounting income, but will not increase taxable income by the amount of future gross profits until cash is collected in subsequent years. Assuming the estimate as to collectibility of instalment receivables is valid, the total amounts reported as gross profits for accounting purposes and for tax purposes will be equal over the life of a group of instalment receivables. The time lag between the accrual for accounting purposes and the recognition for tax purposes will increase the deferred tax liability as long as instalment sales are level or increasing. The deferred tax liability will be reduced as the receivables are collected. 2.

Permanent difference. This difference in pre-tax accounting income and taxable income will never reverse because present tax laws allow a corporation that owns shares in another Canadian corporation to exclude the dividends it receives from that corporation. Thus there are no tax consequences for such dividends, even though they are recognized as income for accounting purposes. [Note from author: this is not exactly correct. It is true such dividends are not subject to Part I (“regular” income tax) but they may be subject to Part IV tax]

3.

Reversible difference. The full estimated three years of warranty expense reduces the

current year's pre-tax accounting income, but will reduce taxable income in varying amounts each year as the costs are paid. Assuming the warranty estimate is valid, the total amounts deducted for accounting and for tax purposes will be equal over the three-year period. This is an example of an expense that, in the first year, reduces pre-tax accounting income more than it does the taxable income and, in later years, reverses and reduces taxable income without affecting pre-tax accounting income.

Ex. 18-53 Permanent and reversible differences Listed below are items that are treated differently for accounting purposes than they are for tax purposes. Indicate whether the items are permanent differences or reversible differences. For reversible differences, indicate whether they will create deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. 1. Investments accounted for by the equity method 2. Advance rental receipts 3. Membership costs for executives at a local golf club 4. Estimated future warranty costs 5. Excess of pension contributions over pension expense 6. Expenses incurred in obtaining tax-exempt revenue 7. Instalment sales 8. Excess CCA over accounting depreciation 9.

Ex. 18-54 Reversible differences There are four types of reversible differences. For each type: indicate the cause of the difference, give some examples, and indicate whether the difference will create a taxable or deductible amount in the future. Solution 18-54 1. Revenues or gains taxable after they are recognized in pre-tax accounting income. Examples are instalment sales, long-term construction contracts, and the equity method of accounting for investments. They result in future taxable amounts. 2.

Revenues or gains taxable before they are recognized in pre-tax accounting income. Examples are subscriptions received in advance and rents received in advance. They result in future deductible amounts.

3.

Expenses or losses deductible before they are recognized in pre-tax accounting income. Examples are the use of CCA for tax purposes, prepaid expenses, and pension funding in excess of pension expense. They result in future taxable amounts.

4.

Expenses or losses deductible after they are recognized in pre-tax accounting income. Examples are warranty expenses, estimated lawsuit losses, and unrealized losses on investments. They result in future deductible amounts.

Ex. 18-55 Calculation of taxable income The records for Montana Inc. show the following data for calendar 2014: 1. Gross profit on instalment sales recorded on the books was $200,000. Gross profit from collections of instalment receivables was $150,000. 2. Golf club dues were $3,800. 3. Machinery was acquired in January 2014 for $300,000. Montana uses straight-line depreciation over a ten-year life (no residual value). For tax purposes, Montana uses CCA at 14% for 2014. 4. Dividends received from a Canadian corporation were $9,000. 5. The estimated warranty liability related to 2014 sales was $19,600. Warranty repair costs paid during 2014 were $13,600. The remainder will be paid in 2015. 6. Pre-tax accounting income is $250,000. The enacted income tax rate is 25%. Instructions a. Prepare a schedule (starting with pre-tax accounting income) to calculate taxable income. b.

Ex. 18-58 Deferred tax asset a. Describe a deferred tax asset. b. Under IFRS, when should a deferred tax asset be recognized? Solution 18-58 a. A deferred tax asset is the future income tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards. b.

IFRS (IAS 12) permits a deferred tax asset to be recognized only to the extent that it is probable that it will be realized in the future. Note that IFRS does not use a valuation account (although ASPE does).

Ex. 18-59 Taxable loss carryforward without valuation allowance (IFRS) In 2014, its first year of operations, Hampshire Inc. reported a $500,000 loss for tax purposes. However, in 2015, Hampshire reported $200,000 taxable income. The tax rate is 30%, and is likely to remain at this rate for the foreseeable future. Hampshire reports under IFRS. Assume that, at the end of 2014, because it is a new company, Hampshire’s management thought that it was probable that the loss carryforward would not be realized in the near future. However, by the end of 2015, management feels it is now probable that there will be future taxable incomes against which the 2014 loss could be applied. Instructions a. What entries (if any) would be prepared in 2014 to record the loss carryforward? b. What entries (if any) would be prepared in 2015 to record current and deferred taxes and to recognize the loss carryforward?

However, in 2015, Jersey reported $250,000 taxable income. The tax rate is 20%, and is likely to remain at this rate for the foreseeable future. Jersey is a private corporation reporting under ASPE. Assume Jersey’s management thinks, at the end of 2014, that it is likely that the loss carryforward will not be realized in the near future. Jersey chooses to use the valuation allowance method for loss carryforwards. Instructions a. What entries (if any) would be prepared in 2014 to record the loss carryforward? b.

PROBLEMS Pr. 18-61 Taxable income and accounting income Explain the difference between accounting income and taxable income. Solution 18-61 Accounting income is calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Taxable income is calculated in accordance with prescribed tax legislation and regulations. Because tax legislation and GAAP have different objectives, accounting income and taxable income often differ.

Pr. 18-62 Taxable temporary difference Explain what a taxable temporary difference is and why a deferred tax liability is recognized. Solution 18-62 A taxable temporary difference is the difference between the carrying value of an asset or liability and its tax base. When the asset is recovered or liability is settled in the future for an amount equal to its carrying value, taxable income of that future period will be increased. Because taxes arise in the future as a result of reversible differences existing at the statement of financial position date, the future income tax consequences of these taxable amounts are recognized in the current period as a deferred tax liability.

Pr. 18-63 Differences between accounting and taxable income and the effect on future income taxes The following differences apply to the reconciliation of accounting income and taxable income of Mexico Inc. for calendar 2014, its first year of operations. The enacted income tax rate is 30% for all years. Pre-tax accounting income $450,000 Excess CCA (240,000) Lawsuit accrual 35,000 Unearned rent revenue deferred on the books but correctly included in taxable income 25,000 Dividend income from Canadian corporations (10,000) Taxable income $260,000 1. 2. 3.

Excess CCA will reverse equally over a four-year period, 2015–2018. It is estimated that the lawsuit accrual will be paid in 2018. Unearned rent revenue will be recognized as earned equally over a four year period, 2015– 2018.

Instructions a. Prepare a schedule of future taxable and deductible amounts. b. Prepare a schedule of any deferred tax asset and/or deferred tax liability. c. Since this is the first year of operations, there is no beginning deferred tax asset or liability. Calculate the net deferred tax expense (benefit). d. Prepare the adjusting journal entries to record income tax expense, deferred taxes, and

Pr. 18-65 Interperiod tax allocation with change in enacted tax rates Carolina Corp. purchased equipment for $180,000 on January 2, 2014, its first day of operations. For book purposes, the equipment will be depreciated straight-line over three years with no residual value. Pre-tax accounting incomes and taxable incomes are as follows:

Pre-tax accounting income Taxable income

2014 $124,000 100,000

2015 $140,000 140,000

2016 $150,000 174,000

The reversible difference between pre-tax accounting income and taxable income is due solely to the use of CCA for tax purposes. Instructions a. Prepare the adjusting journal entries to record income taxes for all three years (expense, deferred tax assets/liabilities, etc.), assuming that the enacted income tax rate for all three years is 30%. b. Prepare the adjusting journal entries to record income taxes for all three years (expense, deferred tax assets/liabilities, etc.), assuming that the enacted income tax rate for 2014 is 30% but that in the middle of 2015, Parliament raises the income tax rate to 35%, retroactive to the beginning of 2015.

Pensions and Other Employee Future Benefits

19- 3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the importance of pensions from a business perspective. A pension plan, together with post-retirement health care, is often part of an employee’s overall compensation package. The size of these plans, in terms of both the number of employees and cost of benefits, has made their costs very large (on average) in relation to companies’ financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. With the vast majority of defined benefit plans being underfunded, more and more companies are moving toward defined contribution plans.

2. Identify and account for a defined contribution benefit plan. Defined contribution plans are plans that specify how contributions are determined rather than what benefits the individual will receive. They are accounted for similar to a cash basis.

3. Identify and explain what a defined benefit plan is and the related accounting issues. Defined benefit plans specify the benefits that the employee is entitled to. Defined benefit plans whose benefits vest or accumulate typically provide for the benefits to be a function of the employee’s years of service and, for pensions, compensation level. In general, the employer’s obligation for such a plan and the associated cost is accrued as an expense as the employee provides the service. An actuary usually determines the required amounts. 4. Explain what the employer’s benefit obligation is, identify alternative measures for this obligation, and prepare a continuity schedule of transactions and events that change its balance. The employer’s benefit obligation is the actuarial present value of the benefits that have been earned by employees for services they have provided up to the date of the statement of financial position. The vested benefit method, accumulated benefit method, and projected benefit method are three methods that could be used to measure companies’ obligations. The third method is the one used to determine the defined benefit obligation, basing the calculation of the deferred compensation amount on both vested and non-vested service using future salaries. This last method is used under both IFRS and the deferral and amortization approach under ASPE. The funding approach specified by legislation is the measurement of the obligation under ASPE’s immediate recognition approach. The DBO is increased by current service cost, interest cost, plan amendments that usually increase employee entitlements for prior services, and by actuarial losses. It is reduced by payment of pension benefits and by actuarial gains.

5. Identify transactions and events that change benefit plan assets, and calculate the balance of the assets. Plan assets are increased by company and employee contributions and the actual return that is earned on fund assets (including realized and unrealized gains and losses), and are reduced by pension benefits paid to retirees. 6. Explain what a benefit plan’s funded status is, calculate it, and identify what transactions and events change its amount. A plan’s funded status is the difference between the defined benefit obligation and the plan assets at a point in time. It tells you the extent to which a company has a net obligation (underfunded) or a surplus (overfunded) relative to the benefits that are promised. All items that change the plan assets and DBO with the exception of the

payments to retirees change the funded status.

7. Identify the components of pension expense, and account for a defined benefit pension plan under the immediate recognition approach. Pension expense under the immediate recognition approach is a function of: (1) service cost, (2) interest on the liability, (3) actual return on plan assets, (4) past service costs, and (5) net actuarial gains or losses. Under ASPE, all are immediately included in current expense in their entirety. The pension obligation amount is determined under a funding basis measure. Under IFRS, pension costs relating to current service, past service, and net interest on the net defined benefit obligation are included in pension expense. Actuarial gains and losses, and any return on plan assets excluding amounts included in the net interest on the net defined benefit obligation (asset), are recognized in OCI.

8. Account for defined benefit plans with benefits that vest or accumulate other than pension plans. Under ASPE, any non-pension defined benefit plans with benefits that vest or accumulate are accounted for in the same way as defined benefit pension plans. Under IFRS, short-term employee benefits are generally recognized (without discounting) at the amount expected to be paid in exchange for the services provided. Other long-term benefits include items such as paid absences for long service, unrestricted sabbaticals, and long-term disability plans. IFRS requires the same recognition and measurement for these long-term benefits as for pension plans. Specifically, changes in the liabilities related to these benefits should be reflected in income. For termination benefits, IFRS requires the cost of the benefits to be recognized at the earlier of when the company can no longer withdraw an offer of employment and when it recognizes the related restructuring costs.

9. Identify the types of information required to be presented and disclosed for defined benefit plans, prepare basic schedules, and be able to read and understand such disclosures. ASPE requires a description of the plans, major changes made in the plans, dates of the actuarial valuations, the fair value of the plan assets, the ABO, and the funded status and how this relates to the balance sheet account. IFRS requires substantial information, such as reconciliations of changes in the DBO and plan assets, details of amounts included in net income, underlying assumptions and sensitivity analysis, and other information related to help determine cash flows.

10. Identify differences between the IFRS and ASPE accounting for employee future benefits and what changes are expected in the near future. IAS 19 is broader based and covers more employee benefits than does CICA Handbook, Part II, Section 3461. ASPE permits a choice of the immediate recognition approach or the deferral and amortization approach, whereas IFRS permits only the former approach, but with options within it. With recent changes to IAS 19, most companies are expected to recognize the net defined benefit liability (or asset) on the statement of financial position with items such as current service cost, past service cost and interest on the DBO and plan assets recognized in net income, and remeasurement changes and actuarial gains and losses reported in OCI. At the present time, ASPE still allows companies to use the deferral and amortization approach, although this option is expected to be eliminated eventually.

11. Explain and apply basic calculations to determine current service cost, the defined

19- 5

benefit obligation, and past service cost for a one-person defined benefit pension plan. The current service cost is a calculation of the present value of the benefits earned by employees that is attributable to the current period. The defined benefit obligation is the present value of the accumulated benefits earned to a point in time, according to the pension formula and using projected salaries. Past service cost is the present value of the additional benefits granted to employees in the case of a plan amendment.

12. Identify the components of pension benefit cost, and account for a defined benefit pension plan when using the deferral and amortization approach under ASPE; determine the pension plan accounts reported in the financial statements and explain their relationship to the funded status of the plan. Pension cost under the deferral and amortization approach is a function of: (1) service cost, (2) interest on the liability, (3) expected return on plan assets, (4) past service costs, and (5) net actuarial gain or loss. Items (1) to (3) are included in current expense entirely, while items (4) and (5) are usually recognized through a process of amortization. The unamortized balances of items (4) and (5) are reported in the notes to the financial statements. An accrued benefit liability or asset is reported in the balance sheet. Under the deferral and amortization approach, the balance is equal to the funded status adjusted for any unamortized past service costs and unamortized actuarial gains and losses. The pension expense is reported in the income statement.

EXERCISES Ex. 19-68 Pension accounting terminology Briefly explain the following terms: a. Service cost b. Interest cost c. Past service costs d. Vested benefits Solution 19-68 a. The (current) service cost component of pension expense is the cost of the benefits to be provided in future in exchange for services provided in the current period. b. The interest cost component of pension expense is the interest for the period on the defined (accrued) benefit obligation outstanding during the period. To simplify the calculation, the amount of interest is calculated by applying a single rate to the beginning balance of the obligation. c. When a defined benefit plan is initiated or amended, credit that is given to employees for services provided before the date of initiation or amendment results in past service costs. If there is a reduction in the benefit plan, there is a decrease in in the defined (accrued) benefit obligation. The amount of the past service costs is calculated by an actuary, and is added/deducted to the beginning balance of the obligation for calculating the interest cost for the year. d. Vested benefits are those the employee is entitled to receive even if s/he provides no additional services under the plan, e.g. if his/her employment is terminated.

Ex. 19-69 Pension asset terminology Discuss the following ideas related to pension assets: a. Actual return on plan assets. b. Expected return on plan assets. c. Unexpected gains and losses on plan assets. Solution 19-69 a. The actual return earned on plan assets is the income generated on the assets being held by the trustee, less the cost of administering the fund. This can vary considerably from year to year. b. The expected return on plan assets is the long-term rate of return (calculated by the actuary) multiplied by the fair value of the assets at the beginning of the period. A long-term rate is used to smooth out short-term fluctuations in interest rates, and is usually the rate for high-quality corporate bonds. Under IFRS, the same rate is used for interest on the defined benefit obligation and the plan assets. c. An unexpected asset gain occurs when the actual return on plan assets is greater than the expected return on plan assets and an unexpected loss occurs when the actual return is less than the expected return.

Ex. 19-72 Approaches to accounting for pension expense Discuss the difference between the immediate recognition approach and the deferral and amortization approach when accounting for annual pension expense. Solution 19-72 Under the immediate recognition approach, pension expense includes current service costs, past service costs, and interest cost on the opening DBO, less expected return on assets (less the actual return, if different). This may cause the annual pension expense to fluctuate significantly. However, an advantage of this approach is that the actual funded status is disclosed on the statement of financial position via the net defined benefit liability/asset account. Note that under IFRS, any actuarial gains or losses or remeasurement gains/losses on plan assets are not part of pension expense (i.e. net income), but flow through OCI. Under the deferral and amortization approach, the recognition of past service costs and actuarial gains/losses can be deferred and amortized over current and future periods. This tends to smooth out the pension expense, but misstates the funded status on the statement of financial position, as the unrecognized past service costs and actuarial gains/losses are “off balance sheet.” However, all such amounts must be fully disclosed in the notes. IFRS now requires the use of the immediate recognition approach only. ASPE currently permits either approach; however the new Section 3462 of the Handbook will eliminate the use of the deferral and amortization approach.

*Ex. 19-75 Corridor amortization Explain corridor amortization. Solution 19-75 The corridor approach for amortizing pension plan gains and losses is used when they get too large. The unrecognized net gain or loss gets too large when it exceeds the arbitrarily selected criterion of 10% of the larger of the beginning balances of the accrued benefit obligation or the fair value of the plan assets. Any systematic method of amortizing the excess unrecognized gain or loss may be used but it cannot be less than the amount calculated using the straight-line method over the average remaining service life of all active employees. Note this is only used with the deferral and amortization approach, which is now only acceptable for ASPE. IFRS requires the use of the immediate recognition approach, which does not use the corridor approach.

Leases

20- 3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the importance of leases from a business perspective. Leases represent a significant source of off–balance sheet financing for companies. One of the issues identified by the IASB in existing accounting standards is the lack of transparency in financial reporting of leases, leaving users like financial analysts having to guess the extent of debt and leverage of many companies.

2. Explain the conceptual nature, economic substance, and advantages of lease transactions. A lease is a contract between two parties that gives the lessee the right to use property that is owned by the lessor. In situations where the lessee obtains the use of the majority of the economic benefits inherent in a leased asset, the transaction is similar in substance to acquiring an asset. Therefore, the lessee recognizes the asset and associated liability and the lessor transfers the asset under one of the approaches to lease accounting. The major advantages of leasing for the lessee relate to the cost and flexibility of the financing, and protection against obsolescence. For the lessor, the finance income is attractive.

3. Identify and apply the criteria that are used to determine the type of lease for accounting purposes for a lessee under the classification approach. A lease is classified as a capital or finance lease where the risks and benefits of owning the leased asset are transferred to the lessee, which is evidenced by one or more of the following: (1) the transfer of title, (2) the use of the majority of the asset services inherent in the leased asset, (3) the recovery by the lessor of substantially all of its investment in the leased asset plus a return on that investment, or (4) under IFRS, in some cases the degree of specialization of the specific asset. If none of these criteria is met, the lease is classified as an operating lease.

4. Calculate the lease payment that is required for a lessor to earn a specific return. The lessor determines the investment that it wants to recover from a leased asset. If the lessor has acquired an asset for the purpose of leasing it, the lessor usually wants to recover the asset’s cost. If the lessor participates in leases as a way of selling its product, it usually wants to recover the sales price. The lessor’s investment in the cost or selling price can be recovered in part through a residual value if the asset will be returned to the lessor, or through a bargain purchase price that it expects the lessee to pay, if a bargain purchase is part of the lease agreement. In addition to these sources, the lessor recovers its investment through the lease payments. The periodic lease payment, therefore, is the annuity amount whose present value exactly equals the amount to be recovered through lease payments. 5. Account for a lessee’s basic capital (finance) lease. As a capital lease, called a finance lease under IFRS, the asset is capitalized on the lessee’s SFP and a liability is recognized for the obligation owing to the lessor. The amount capitalized is the present value of the minimum lease payments (in effect the payments, excluding executory costs) that the lessee has agreed to take responsibility for. The asset is then depreciated in the same way as other capital assets owned by the lessee. Payments to the lessor are divided into an interest portion and a principal payment, using the effective interest method.

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

6. Determine the effect of, and account for, residual values and bargain purchase options in a lessee’s capital (finance) lease. When a lessee guarantees a residual value, it is obligated to return either the leased asset or cash, or a combination of both, in an amount that is equal to the guaranteed value. The lessee includes the guaranteed residual in the lease obligation and leased asset value. The asset is depreciated to this value by the end of the lease term. If the residual is unguaranteed, the lessee takes no responsibility for the residual and it is excluded from the lessee’s calculations.

7. Account for an operating lease by a lessee and compare the operating and capitalization methods of accounting for leases. A lessee recognizes the lease payments that are made as rent expense in the period that is covered by the lease, usually based on the proportion of time. Over the term of a lease, the total amount that is charged to expense is the same whether the lease has been treated as a capital/finance lease or as an operating lease. The difference relates to (1) the timing of recognition for the expense (more is charged in the early years for a finance lease), (2) the type of expense that is charged (depreciation and interest expense for a finance lease versus rent expense for an operating lease), and (3) the recognition of an asset and liability on the SFP for a finance lease versus non-recognition for an operating lease. Aside from any income tax differences, the cash flows for a lease are the same whether it is classified as an operating or finance lease.

8. Determine the statement of financial position presentation of a capital (finance) lease and identify other disclosures required. The current portion of the obligation is the principal that will be repaid within 12 months from the SFP date. The current portion also includes the amount of interest that has accrued up to the SFP date. The long-term portion of the obligation or net investment is the principal balance that will not be paid within 12 months of the SFP date. Lessees disclose the same information as is required for capital assets and long-term debt in general. In addition, details are required of the future minimum lease payments for each of the next five years, and under IFRS, information about its leasing arrangements is required.

9. Identify and apply the criteria that are used to determine the type of lease for a lessor under the classification approach. If a lease, in substance, transfers the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased asset to the lessee (decided in the same way as for the lessee) and revenue recognition criteria related to collectibility and ability to estimate any remaining unreimbursable costs are met, the lessor accounts for the lease as either a direct financing or a sales-type lease. Under IFRS, it is classified either as a financing, or a manufacturer or dealer lease. The existence of a manufacturer’s or dealer’s profit on the amount to be recovered from the lessee is the difference between a manufacturer/dealer or sales-type lease and a direct financing lease, as the objective is only to generate finance income in the latter. If any one of the capitalization or revenue recognition criteria is not met, the lessor accounts for the lease as an operating lease. While the revenue recognition criteria are not set out in IAS 17, they would be applied in general before any revenue is recognized by the lessor.

10. Account for and report basic financing and manufacturer/dealer or sales-type leases by a lessor. In a finance lease, the lessor removes the cost of the leased asset from its books and replaces it with its net investment in the lease. This is made up of two accounts: (1) the gross investment or lease receivable, offset by (2) the portion of these amounts that represents

Leases

20- 5

unearned interest. The net investment represents the present value of the lease payments and the residual value or bargain purchase option amounts. As the lease payments are received, the receivable is reduced. As time passes, the unearned interest is taken into income based on the implicit rate of return that applies to the net investment. Under a manufacturer/dealer or sales-type lease, the accounting is similar except that the net investment represents the sale amount the lessor wants to recover. The lessor also transfers the inventory “sold” to cost of goods sold.

11. Account for and report financing and manufacturer/dealer or sales-type leases with guaranteed residual values or a bargain purchase option by a lessor. For both types of lease, the net investment in the lease includes the estimated residual value whether it is guaranteed or not, or the bargain purchase option amount. Under a manufacturer/dealer or sales-type lease, both the sale and cost of goods sold amounts are reduced by any unguaranteed residual values.

12. Account for and report an operating lease by a lessor. The lessor records the lease payments received from the lessee as rental income in the period covered by the lease payment. Because the leased asset remains on the lessor’s books, the lessor records depreciation expense. Separate disclosure is required of the cost and accumulated amortization of property held for leasing purposes, and the amount of rental income earned.

13. Identify differences in accounting between ASPE and IFRS, and what changes are expected in the near future. Under the classification approach, ASPE is substantially the same as the IFRS requirements. Different terminology is used and the classification requirements that differentiate between a capital/finance lease and an operating lease under IFRS are based more on principles and judgement than ASPE. A new lease standard was expected to be issued by the IASB and FASB after a 2013 exposure draft, and it was expected to significantly change the approach to lease accounting. Under the revisions planned, a contract-based or right-of-use approach is used by both lessee and lessor. 14. Describe and apply the lessee’s accounting for sale-leaseback transactions. A sale and leaseback is accounted for by the lessee as if the two transactions were related. In general, any gain or loss, with the exception of a real (economic) loss, is deferred by the lessee and recognized in income over the lease term. For an operating lease under ASPE, the seller-lessee takes the deferred gain or loss into income in proportion to the rental payments made. Under IFRS, if the transaction is done at fair value, the gain or loss may be taken to income immediately. For a finance lease, the deferred gain or loss is taken into income over the same period and basis as the depreciation of the leased asset (ASPE) or over the term of the lease (IFRS).

15. Explain the classification and accounting treatment for leases that involve real estate. Because the capitalization of land by the lessee in a capital or finance lease that does not transfer title results in an unwanted and unintended effect on the lessee’s financial statements, the portion of such leases that relates to land is accounted for as an operating lease. If the relative value of the land is minor, however, the minimum lease payments are fully capitalized as building.

16. Explain and apply the contract-based approach to a basic lease for a lessee and lessor. The contract-based approach to lease accounting assumes that the asset transferred by the lease contract from the lessor to the lessee is the right to use the leased property. The lessee recognizes this right-of-use as an asset and recognizes the obligation to make rental payments as an obligation. The lessor recognizes the contractual right to receive lease payments as an asset—a receivable—and recognizes its performance obligation to permit the lessee to use the asset as a liability. As performance takes place, the lessor recognizes revenue.

EXERCISES Ex. 20-55 Types of lessors Explain the difference between a manufacturer finance company and an independent finance company. Solution 20-55 A manufacturer finance company, also called a captive leasing company, is a subsidiary whose main business is to provide leasing services for a parent company. Examples are General Motors Acceptance Company of Canada (GMAC), which provides lease financing for General Motors dealers, and Chrysler Finance Service Canada, which provides lease financing for Chrysler dealers. An independent finance company, on the other hand, acts as financial intermediary by providing lease financing for a wide range of manufacturers, distributors and other dealers. The dealer will sell the customer the product(s) and then outsource the financing to an independent finance company. This is commonly seen in the construction industry.

Ex. 20-56 Lease criteria under IFRS Discuss the criteria cited by IFRS to support classifying a lease as a finance lease. Solution 20-56 1. There is reasonable assurance that the lessee will obtain ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease term. 2. The lease term is long enough that the lessee will receive substantially all of the economic benefits expected to be derived from using the leased property over its economic life. 3. The lease allows the lessor to recover substantially all of its investment in the leased property and to earn a return on the investment. 4. The leased asset is so specialized that, without major modification, it would be of use only to the lessee. Note that the IFRS criteria do not cite any specific numbers, as the ASPE criteria do. They are intended to be principles based and require professional judgment.

Ex. 20-57 Lease criteria for classification by lessor under ASPE What are the criteria that must be satisfied for a lessor under ASPE to classify a lease as a direct financing or sales-type lease? Solution 20-57 In order for a lessor to classify a lease as a direct financing or a sales-type lease, the lease at the date of inception must satisfy one or more of the following Group I criteria (a, b, and c) and both of the following Group II criteria (a and b): Group I

There is reasonable assurance that the lessee will obtain ownership of the property at the end of the lease term. The lease term is equal to 75% or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property. The present value of the minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the leased property.

Group II a. Collectibility of the payments required from the lessee is reasonably assured. b. Any unreimbursable costs under the lease that are likely to be incurred by the lessor can be reasonably estimated.

*Ex. 20-58 Classification approach vs. contract-based approach Explain the difference between classification approach vs contract-based approach for capitalizing leases. Which does the IASB favour? Why? *Solution 20-58 The classification approach says that transactions should be classified and accounted for according to their economic substance. This would justify capitalizing leases that have similar characteristics to instalment purchases. On the other hand, the contract-based approach (also called a right-of-use approach) views the lease as conveying a contractual right to use the property (not the physical property itself). This approach would justify capitalizing the fair value of the rights and obligations of just about all leases, even those currently accounted for as operating leases. Exceptions would be leases that actually transfer control of the asset or almost all of the risks and benefits associated with ownership, such as leases where title will transfer at the end of the contract, or where there is a bargain purchase option. The IASB favours the contract-based approach, since it will capture almost all leases, including those that are currently “off balance-sheet” (operating leases) and make accounting for leases more transparent.

Ex. 20-59 Lessor accounting—sales-type lease Albert Corp., a private corporation that adheres to ASPE, is a manufacturer of truck trailers. On January 1, 2014, Albert leases ten trailers to Einstein Inc. under a six-year non-cancellable lease agreement. The following information about the lease and the trailers is provided: 1. Equal annual payments (due on December 31 each year) will be payable, to provide Albert with an 8% return on their investment . 2. Title to the trailers will pass to Einstein at the end of the lease. 3. At January 1, 2014, the fair value of each trailer is $50,000. The cost of each trailer to Albert Corp. is $45,000. Each trailer has an expected useful life of nine years. 4. Collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably assured, and any unreimbursable costs under the lease that are likely to be incurred by Albert can be reasonably estimated. Instructions a. What type of lease is this for the lessor? Discuss. b. Calculate the annual lease payment. Present value factor for 6 periods at 8% is 4.62288. Round to the nearest dollar.

Solution 20-59 a. This is a sales-type lease to the lessor, Albert Corp. Albert's gross profit on this sale is $50,000, which is recognized in the year of sale (2014). It is not an operating lease because title to the assets passes to the lessee, the present value ($500,000) of the minimum lease payments equals or exceeds 90% ($450,000) of the fair value of the leased trailers, collectibility is reasonably assured, and any unreimbursable costs under the lease that are likely to be incurred can be reasonably estimated. b.

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

Solution 20-60 When the capital lease method is used, the lessee treats the lease transactions as if the asset were being purchased. The asset and obligation are recorded at the lower of (1) the present value of the minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) or (2) the fair value of the asset at the inception of the lease. Under ASPE, the present value of the lease payments is calculated using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate, unless the implicit rate used by the lessor is lower and the lessee has knowledge of it. Under IFRS, the present value is calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease whenever this is reasonably determinable, otherwise by using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The effective interest method is used to allocate each lease payment between interest expense and a reduction of the lease obligation. If the lease transfers ownership or contains a bargain purchase option, the asset is depreciated in a manner consistent with the lessee's normal depreciation policy over the economic life of the asset and allowing for residual value. If the lease does not transfer ownership, the leased asset is depreciated over the lease term.

Ex. 20-61 Capital lease amortization and journal entries Erica Corp. leases machinery on January 1, 2014, and records this as a finance lease. Seven annual lease payments of $140,000 are required the end of each year, starting December 31, 2014. The present value of the lease payments at 10% is $681,600. Erica uses the effective interest method of amortization for the lease. For all machinery, the company uses straight-line depreciation over eight years, with no residual value. Instructions (Round values to the nearest dollar.) a. Prepare a lease amortization table for 2014 and 2015. b. Prepare the general journal entries relating to this lease for 2014. Solution 20-61 a.

Ex. 20-63 Accounting for a direct financing lease by the lessor Explain the procedures used to account for a direct financing lease (ASPE) or finance lease (IFRS) by the lessor. Solution 20-63 The lessor records the gross amounts of the minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) and the unguaranteed residual value (a guaranteed residual value is included in the minimum lease payments) as Lease Receivable and removes the asset from the books. The difference between the gross investment in lease (Lease Receivable) and the asset's cost (or carrying amount), also called the net investment in lease, is recorded as Unearned Interest Income. This is a contra-account to Lease Receivable. The lessor records payments received as a reduction in the receivable. Unearned income is recognized periodically as interest income, using the effective interest method and the implicit interest rate used to calculate the lease payments.

*Ex. 20-64 Lessee and lessor accounting (sale-leaseback) On January 1, 2014, Baritone Inc. sells machinery to Contralto Corp. at its fair value of $1,200,000 and immediately leases it back.

PROBLEMS Pr. 20-66 Lessee accounting—capital lease Long Ltd., a private corporation adhering to ASPE, enters into a non-cancellable lease agreement on July 1, 2014, to lease equipment from Fong Ltd. The following data are relevant to the lease agreement: 1. The term of the lease is 4 years, with no renewal option. Payments of $126,807 are due on June 30 of each year, with the first payment due June 30, 2015. 2. The fair value of the equipment on July 1, 2014 is $420,000. The equipment has an economic life of 6 years with no residual value. 3. Long depreciates similar equipment it owns on the double declining-balance basis. 4. Long's incremental borrowing rate is 10%. The lessee is aware that the lessor used an implicit rate of 8% in calculating the lease payments. 5. Present value factor for 4 periods at 8% is 3.31213; at 10%, 3.16986. Instructions a. What type of lease this is for Long? What is your rationale? b. Prepare the journal entries on Long's books that relate to the lease agreement for the following dates. Round all amounts to the nearest dollar. Include a partial amortization schedule. i. July 1, 2014 ii. December 31, 2014 iii. June 30, 2015 iv. December 31, 2015 Solution 20-66 a. Present value of minimum lease payments: $126,807 × PV of an ordinary annuity for 4 periods at 8% (use the lessor’s implicit rate, since it is known) $126,807 × 3.31213 = $420,000 Because the present value of the lease payments ($420,000) equals the fair value of the leased property, it is a capital lease. b.

Pr. 20-67 Lessee accounting—capital lease On January 1, 2014, Fargo Corp. enters into a ten-year non-cancellable lease with Wells Ltd. for equipment having an estimated useful life of 11 years and a fair value of $6,000,000. Fargo's incremental borrowing rate is 8%, but they do not know Wells’ implicit rate. Fargo uses the straight-line method to depreciate assets. The lease contains the following provisions: 1. Semi-annual lease payments of $438,000 (including $38,000 for property taxes), payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year. 2. A guarantee by Fargo Corp. that Wells Ltd. will realize $200,000 from selling the asset at the expiration of the lease. However, the actual residual value is expected to be $120,000. Both companies adhere to ASPE. Instructions a. Calculate the undiscounted minimum lease payments over the life of the lease. b. Calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments. PV factor for annuity due of 20 semi-annual payments at 8% annual rate, 14.13394; PV factor for $1 due in 20 interest periods at 8% annual rate, .45639. Round to nearest dollar. c. What kind of lease is this to Fargo Corp.? Why? d. Present the journal entries that Fargo would record during the first year of the lease. Include an amortization schedule through January 1, 2015 and round values to the nearest dollar. Solution 20-67 a. The undiscounted minimum lease payments are: Semi-annual rental payments ................................................................... $ 438,000 Less executory costs ................................................................................

Pr. 20-68 Lessor accounting—lease with IFRS criteria On January 1, 2014, Regal Air Inc. enters into an eight year, non-cancellable lease agreement to lease an airplane to Atlantic Airlines, with payments required at the end of each year. The following information relates to this agreement:

1. 2. 3. 4.

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

Atlantic Airlines has the option to purchase the airplane for $7,000,000 at the end of the lease, at which time the airplane’s fair value is expected to be $12,000,000. The airplane cost Regal Air $30,000,000. It has an estimated useful life of fifteen years, and a residual value of zero at the end of that time (due to technological obsolescence). Atlantic will pay all executory costs related to the leased airplane. Annual year-end lease payments of $4,562,337 will allow Regal Air to earn an 8% return on its investment.

Instructions a. What type of lease is this for the lessor? Justify your answer. Assume Regal Air adheres to IFRS. b. Prepare a lease amortization schedule for Regal Air for the first two years (2014 and 2015). Round all amounts to the nearest dollar. c. Prepare the journal entries on Regal Air’s books to record the lease agreement, to reflect payments received under the lease, and to recognize income, for the years 2014 and 2015. Solution 20-68 a. Under IFRS, the presence of any one or a combination of the following situations will normally support classification as a finance lease: 1. There is reasonable assurance that the lessee will obtain ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease term. 2. The lease term is long enough that the lessee will receive substantially all of the economic benefits expected to be derived from using the leased property over its economic life. 3. The lease allows the lessor to recover substantially all of its investment in the leased property and to earn a return on the investment. 4. The leased asset is so specialized that, without major modification, it would be of use only to the lessee. Both #1 and #3 apply here, and since only one criterion has to be satisfied, this is a finance lease, and would be classified as an “other financing lease” for Regal Air (called a “direct financing lease” under ASPE). #1. The option to buy the airplane for $7,000,000 at the termination of the lease when the asset is expected to have a fair value of $12,000,000 constitutes a bargain purchase option. Since the bargain purchase option exists, it is assumed Atlantic will exercise the option and acquire the airplane. #3. Since the undiscounted total of the eight lease payments plus the bargain purchase option is $43,498,696 and the present value of the eight payments plus the BPO is approx $30,000,000 (8 N 8 i 4562337 PMT 7000000 FV CPT PV = > $29,999,986) this criterion is satisfied. #2 and #4 do not apply. Note that the IFRS criteria do not cite any specific numbers, as the ASPE criteria do. They are intended to be principles based and require professional judgment. b.

*Pr. 20-69 Sale and Leaseback Simian Valley Corp. owns both the land and building that it uses for a banana plantation. The original cost of the building was $412,500 and had a book value of $225,000 at January 1, 2014. On this date the building was sold to Bonobo Leasing Inc. for $250,000 and simultaneously leased back to Simian Valley. The lease had a guaranteed 10-year term and required annual payments of $47,250 on December 31 each year. The lease allows the property to revert to the lessee at the end of the lease. Simian Valley’s incremental borrowing rate is 12%, but they do not know Bonobo’s implicit rate. Bonobo will pay property taxes on the building of $6,000 per year; however, this cost is included in the lease payment. Simian Valley will pay maintenance and other operating costs. The building will be depreciated straight line over its remaining 10-year life. The lease qualifies as a capital (finance) lease since the lease term is equal to the economic life of the building.

Accounting Changes and Error Analysis

21- 3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Identify and differentiate among the types of accounting changes. There are three types of accounting changes. (1) Change in accounting policy: a change in the specific principles, bases, rules, or practices that an entity applies in the preparation of its financial statements. (2) Change in an accounting estimate: a change in the carrying amount of an asset or liability or the amount of an asset’s periodic consumption from reassessing the current status of the asset or liability or the expected future benefits or obligations associated with it. (3) Correction of a prior period error: a change caused by an omission from or misstatement in prior years’ financial statements from the misuse of or failure to use reliable information that existed at the time the statements were completed and that could have been used in their preparation and presentation.

2. Identify and explain alternative methods of accounting for accounting changes. Accounting changes could be accounted for retrospectively, currently, or prospectively. The retrospective method requires restatement of prior periods as if the accounting change had been used from the beginning, or the error had never been made. The current method calculates a catch-up adjustment related to the effect on all prior years, and reports it in the current period. Prospective treatment requires making no adjustment for past effects, but instead, beginning to use the new method in the current and future periods.

3. Identify the accounting standards for each type of accounting change under ASPE and IFRS. A change in accounting policy due to the initial application of a new primary source of GAAP is accounted for according to the transitional provisions of that standard. If none is provided, or if it is a voluntary change, retrospective application is used. A change in an accounting estimate is accounted for prospectively. Errors are corrected through full retrospective restatement.

4. Apply the retrospective application method of accounting for a change in accounting policy and identify the disclosure requirements. Comparative periods are presented as if the new accounting policy had always been applied. The opening balance of each affected component of equity is adjusted for the earliest prior period presented, and all other affected comparative amounts for each prior period provided are restated. When the effects on particular prior periods are impracticable to determine, the cumulative effect of the change is shown as an adjustment to the beginning retained earnings of the earliest prior period possible. Required disclosures therefore include identifying the nature of the change, the effect on each financial statement item affected, the amounts relating to periods prior to those that are presented, and why full retrospective application was not applied, if applicable. If the change resulted from applying transitional provisions, information about the standards and the provisions is provided, including, if under IFRS, the effects on future periods. If it is a voluntary change, excluding specific ASPE accounting changes, the reasons why the new policy results in more relevant information are disclosed. Information about the future effect of changes in primary sources of GAAP that are issued but not yet effective is also required under IFRS.

5. Apply retrospective restatement for the correction of an accounting error and identify the disclosure requirements. Comparative amounts for prior periods affected are restated, unless under IFRS it is not practicable to identify the effect on specific past periods. If the error is Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page is prohibited


21- 4

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

in a period before the earliest comparative statements included, the opening balances of the earliest comparative period are restated. An opening SFP is required under IFRS for the earliest comparative period presented as is information about the nature of any impracticality. The nature of the error and the amount of the adjustment to each comparative financial statement line item and to EPS are all required disclosures.

6. Apply the prospective application method for an accounting change and identify the disclosure requirements for a change in an accounting estimate. Under prospective treatment, only the current and future fiscal periods are affected. There is no adjustment of current-year opening balances and no attempt is made to “catch up” for prior periods. The nature and amount of a change in an accounting estimate that affects the current period or, under IFRS, is expected to affect future periods, is required to be disclosed.

7. Identify economic motives for changing accounting methods and interpret financial statements where there have been retrospective changes to previously reported results. Some of the aspects that affect decisions about the choice of accounting methods are (1) political costs, (2) the capital structure, (3) bonus payments, and (4) the desire to smooth earnings. Financial statement users should analyze the information presented about accounting changes and adjust any trend information affected.

8. Identify the differences between ASPE and IFRS related to accounting changes. The accounting standards under ASPE are very similar to those under IFRS. Minor differences exist, such as IAS 8’s permitting partial retrospective treatment for the correction of an accounting error, ASPE allowing specific voluntary changes without justification on a “reliable and more relevant” basis, and IFRS requiring additional disclosures.

9. Correct the effects of errors and prepare restated financial statements. Three types of errors can occur: (1) errors that affect only the SFP, (2) errors that affect only the income statement, and (3) errors that affect both the SFP and the income statement. This last type of error is classified either as (a) a counterbalancing error, where the effects are offset or corrected over two periods; or (b) a non-counterbalancing error, where the effects take longer than two periods to correct themselves.

EXERCISES Ex 21-47 Overall objectives of accounting and disclosure standards for accounting changes What are the three main objectives of accounting and disclosure standards for accounting changes? Solution 21-47 1. To limit the types of changes permitted. 2.

To standardize the reporting for each type of change.

3.

To ensure that readers of accounting reports have the necessary information to understand the effects of such changes on the financial statements.

Ex. 21-48 Conditions for a change in accounting policy under IFRS and ASPE What conditions are allowed for a change in accounting policy to be acceptable? Solution 21-48 Under IFRS, there are only two situations where a change in accounting policy is acceptable: 1. The change is required by a primary source of GAAP. 2. A voluntary change results in the information in the financial statements being as reliable and more relevant. However, some voluntary changes are allowed under ASPE without having to meet the “reliable and more relevant” criterion. These include: i. reporting for investments in subsidiaries ii. reporting where the investor has significant influence or joint control iii. accounting for defined benefit plans iv. accounting for income taxes v. measuring a hybrid financial instrument that has both a liability and equity component (the equity component may be measured at zero). vi. for expenditures during the development phase on internally generated intangible assets. Ex. 21-49 Matching accounting changes to situations The three types of accounting changes are: Code a. Change in accounting policy b. Change in accounting estimate c. Error correction Instructions Following are a series of situations. You are to enter a code letter to the left to indicate the type of change. ____ 1. Change due to debiting a new asset to an expense account. ____ 2. Change from FIFO to weighted average costing. ____ 3. Change due to failure to recognize unearned portion of revenue.

In 2014, the company changed its method of recognizing income from the completed-contract method to the percentage-of-completion method. At the end of 2014, an audit revealed that the corporation's allowance for doubtful accounts was too large and should be reduced to 2%. When the audit was performed in 2013, the allowance seemed appropriate. Depreciation on a truck, acquired in 2010, was understated because the service life had been overestimated. The understatement had been made in order to show higher net income in 2011 and 2012. The company switched from average cost to FIFO inventory costing during the current year. In 2014, Sora decided to change from the deferral and amortization approach for their defined benefit pension plan to the immediate recognition approach. During 2014, a long-term bond with a carrying value of $3,600,000 was retired at a cost of $4,100,000. After negotiations with Canada Revenue Agency, income taxes owing for 2013 were established at $42,900. They were originally estimated to be $28,600. In 2014, the company incurred interest expense of $29,000 on a 20-year bond issue. In calculating the depreciation in 2012 for buildings, an error was made which overstated income in that year by $75,000. The error was discovered in 2014. In 2014, the company changed its method of depreciating plant assets from the double declining-balance method to the straight-line method.

Change in estimate Voluntary change in accounting policy Correction of an error

Solution 21-51 1. Examples: collectability of receivables change in depreciation methods estimated lives or residual values warranty costs Accounting estimates will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, or new information is obtained. Changes in estimates are handled prospectively; that is in current and future periods. No restatement of previous financial statements is made. Financial statement disclosure includes the nature and amount of the change. Immaterial changes in estimates do not need to be disclosed. 2.

Examples:

change in the basis of inventory pricing change in the method of accounting for construction contracts change in the method of accounting for instalment sales change in the method of accounting for defined pension plans

The financial statements need to be adjusted to reflect the change in all of the prior years presented, the current year, and the cumulative effect of the change on prior periods, net of tax, should be shown as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the current year. Disclosure should include the amount of the adjustment for the current period and each prior period presented including the effect on each financial statement line item and the per share amounts, the amount of the adjustment related to periods prior to those presented, either that the change has been applied retrospectively, or without restatement and an explanation why this was impractical, and justification of the change. 3.

Examples:

a change from an accounting policy that is not generally accepted to an accounting policy that is accepted mathematical mistakes changes in estimates that occur because the estimates are not made in good faith an oversight a misuse of facts misclassification of an asset as an expense or vice versa

Corrections of errors are recorded in the year discovered, are corrected retrospectively with restatement of all prior years presented, and the beginning balance of retained earnings is adjusted. The nature of the error, the amount of the correction for each prior period presented, and the amount related to periods prior to those presented, and that the comparative information has been restated, must all be disclosed.

Ex. 21-52 Retrospective application for accounting changes Discuss how retrospective application for accounting changes would be applied.

correction is that the change’s cumulative effect be shown as an adjustment to the beginning retained earnings. Income statements of the affected prior periods presented for comparison purposes are restated to show, on a retrospective basis, the effects of the new accounting policy. When historical summaries are reported, the adjustments are reported in each prior year affected. When the effects on particular prior periods of a change in accounting policy is impractical to determine, the cumulative effect of the change (net of tax) is shown as an adjustment to the beginning retained earnings. Comparative financial statements of prior periods presented for comparison are not restated.

Ex. 21-53 Recognition of accounting changes or corrections For each of the following items, indicate the type of accounting change and how each is recognized in the accounting records in the current year. 1. Change from straight-line method of depreciation to double declining-balance 2. Change from the cash basis to the accrual basis of accounting 3. Change from FIFO to weighted average cost method for inventory valuation purposes 4. Change due to failure to record depreciation in a previous period 5. Change in the net realizable value of certain receivables

Solution 21-53 1. Change in accounting estimate; prospective application for current and future periods only. 2.

Correction of an error; retrospective treatment; restatement of financial statements of all prior periods presented; adjustment of beginning retained earnings of the current period. If restatement is not practical, restatement may be omitted.

3.

Change in accounting policy; retrospective treatment; adjustment of beginning retained earnings, restatement of financial statements of all prior periods presented. If restatement is not practical, restatement may be omitted.

4.

Correction of an error; restatement of financial statements of the period affected; adjustment of beginning retained earnings of the first period after the error.

5.

Ex. 21-55 Effects of errors on net income Hummingbird Corp. began operations on January 1, 2013. Financial statements for 2013 and 2014 contained the following errors: Dec. 31, 2013 Dec. 31, 2014 Ending inventory $20,000 too high $35,000 too high Depreciation expense 16,000 too low — Accumulated depreciation 16,000 too low 16,000 too low Insurance expense 14,000 too high 10,000 too low Prepaid insurance 14,000 too low In addition, on December 26, 2014, fully depreciated equipment was sold for $19,000, but the sale was not recorded until 2015. No corrections have been made for any of the errors. Instructions Ignoring income tax, show your calculation of the total effect of the errors on 2014 net income. Solution 21-55 2013 ending inventory ................................................ 2014 ending inventory ................................................

$(20,000) 35,000 10,000 (19,000) $ 6,000

Note: The error in depreciation expense has no effect on 2014 income. The error in prepaid insurance is related to the error in insurance expense.

Ex. 21-56 Economic reasons for changing accounting policies Discuss possible economic reasons why companies may choose to change accounting policies. Solution 21-56 Research has shown that choice of accounting policies often have economic consequences for business organizations. As a result, management may choose accounting policies based on the expected economic impact of the policy. Some of these reasons are political costs, capital structure, bonus payments, and smoothing of earnings. Political costs: The management of large firms may seek policies that reduce their net income and therefore the likelihood that politicians and regulators will seek to increase taxes or restrictive regulations on them, or that unions will seek higher wage settlements. Capital structure: Companies that have restrictive covenants included in their debt contracts may seek policies that make it less likely that they violate the terms of these agreements. Examples would be covenants that specify maximum debt to equity ratios or minimum working capital ratios. Bonus payments: Many companies have compensation plans that include bonuses for management linked to income measures or stock option agreements. Management as a result may favour policies that increase net income and share prices. Smoothing of earnings: Stock markets react negatively to volatility in earnings. As well, high earnings may attract the attention of politicians and regulators, and may be hard for management to repeat in subsequent years. For these reasons, management may choose policies that smooth earnings and reduce volatility.

*Ex. 21-57 Non-counterbalancing error correction Turkey Corp. bought a machine on January 3, 2012 for $275,000. It had a $15,000 estimated residual value and a ten-year life. The corporation uses straight-line depreciation. An expense account was debited in error on the purchase date, but this was not discovered until late 2014. Instructions Prepare the correcting entry or entries related to the machine for 2014. Ignore income tax effects.

Pr. 21-59 Accounting for accounting changes and error corrections Parrot Corp. reported net incomes for the last three years as follows: 2014 2013 2012 $240,000 $225,000 $180,000 During the 2014 year-end audit, the following items come to your attention: 1. Parrot bought a truck on January 1, 2011 for $98,000 cash, with an $8,000 estimated residual value and a six-year life. The company debited an expense account for the entire cost of the asset. Parrot uses straight-line depreciation for all trucks. 2. During 2014, Parrot changed from straight-line depreciation for its cement plant to double declining balance. The following calculations present depreciation on both bases: 2014 2013 2012 Straight-line $18,000 $18,000 $18,000 Double declining balance 23,100 30,000 36,000 The net income for 2014 was calculated using the double declining balance method. 3.

determined that 1% is the appropriate amount of bad debt expense to be charged to operations. The company had used 1/2 of 1% as its rate in 2013 and 2012 when the expense had been $9,000 and $6,000, respectively. Parrot recorded bad debt expense using the new rate for 2014. If they had used the old rate, they would have recorded $3,000 less bad debt expense on December 31, 2014. Instructions (Ignore all income tax effects) a. Prepare the general journal entry required to correct the books for the item 1 situation (only) of this problem, assuming that the books have not been closed for 2014. b. Present comparative income statement data for the years 2012 to 2014, starting with income before the cumulative effect of any accounting changes. c.

From 2011 sales 10,600 4,000 From 2012 sales 15,000 The controller estimates that an additional $21,800 in bad debts will be written off in 2015: $3,800 applicable to 2013 sales and $18,000 to 2014 sales. Inventory has been shipped on consignment. These transactions have been recorded as ordinary sales and billed as such (on account). At December 31, 2014, inventory billed and in the hands of consignees amounted to $160,000. The percentage markup on selling price is 20%. Assume that the consigned inventory is sold the following year. The company uses the perpetual inventory system. During 2014, Stork sold $300,000 worth of goods on the instalment basis. The cost of sales associated with these instalment sales is $225,000. The company inadvertently handled these sales and related costs as part of their regular sales transactions. Cash of $86,000, including a down payment of $30,000, was collected on these instalment sales during 2014. Due to questionable collectability, the instalment method was considered appropriate.

Instructions a. Assume that Stork Corp. reported pre-tax income of $500,000 for 2014. Present a schedule showing the corrected pre-tax income after the above transactions are taken into account. Ignore income tax effects. b. Prepare the correcting journal entries required at December 31, 2014, assuming that the books have been closed. Solution 21-60 a.

Statement of Cash Flows

22- 3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the importance of cash flows from a business perspective. One sign of a healthy company is positive cash flow from operations. Companies can use these funds to finance expansion, to issue dividends, or to ensure that they remain solvent during economic downturns. Given the importance of cash flows for business, it is not surprising that the statement of cash flows has grown in importance for companies and standard setters over the past 25 years. Many also consider it to be less susceptible to earnings management than the statement of comprehensive income.

2. Describe the purpose and uses of the statement of cash flows. The primary purpose of this statement is to provide information about an entity’s cash receipts and cash payments during a period. A secondary objective is to report the entity’s operating, investing, and financing activities during the period. The statement’s objective is to provide information about historical changes in an enterprise’s cash so that investors and creditors can assess the amount, timing, and degree of certainty associated with an entity’s future cash flows, as well as the organization’s needs for cash and how cash will be used. 3. Define cash and cash equivalents. The definition of cash is related to an organization’s cash management activities. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid non-equity investments that are convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of changes in value. These amounts are reduced by bank overdrafts that fluctuate from positive to negative balances and that are repayable on demand. IFRS allows preferred shares acquired within a short period of their maturity to be included as a cash equivalent.

4. Identify the major classifications of cash flows and explain the significance of each classification. Cash flows are classified into those resulting from operating, investing, and financing activities. A company’s ability to generate operating cash flows affects its capacity to pay dividends to shareholders, to take advantage of investment opportunities, to provide internal financing for growth, and to meet obligations when they fall due. The amount of cash spent on investing activities affects an organization’s potential for future cash flows. Cash invested in increased levels of productive assets forms the basis for increased future operating cash inflows. Financing cash activities affect the firm’s capital structure and, therefore, the requirements for future cash outflows.

5. Prepare the operating activities section of a statement of cash flows using the direct versus the indirect method. The direct method presents operating cash flows in a manner similar to a condensed cash basis income statement. The accrual amounts are listed and adjusted whenever the cash received or paid out differs from the revenues, gains, expenses, and losses reported in net income, and for non-operating gains and losses.

6. Prepare a statement of cash flows using the direct method. The direct method involves determining the change in cash and cash equivalents during the period, inserting line items from

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

the income statement as the starting point within the statement’s Operating Activities section, and analyzing the changes in all accounts on the statement of financial position to identify all transactions that have an impact on cash. Those with a cash impact are recorded on the statement of cash flows. To ensure that all cash flows have been identified, the results recorded on the statement are compared with the change in cash during the period. The statement is then prepared with required disclosures.

7. Prepare a statement of cash flows using the indirect method. The steps using the indirect method are the same as in Objective 6 above, with one exception. Rather than starting with line items from the income statement in the Operating Activities section, the net income amount is the beginning point. All the same adjustments are then made to adjust net income to a cash basis, but the style and format of the Operating Activities sections differ.

8. Identify the financial presentation and disclosure requirements for the statement of cash flows. Under IFRS, disclosure is required of cash flows associated with interest and dividends received and paid, the definition and components of cash and cash equivalents reconciled to the amounts reported on the statement of financial position, and the amount of and explanation for cash and cash equivalents not available for use. All income tax cash flows are reported as operating flows unless they can be linked directly to investing or financing flows. Choices are available under IFRS for the reporting of interest and dividends received (operating or investing) and interest and dividends paid (operating or financing). Gross amounts should be reported except in specifically permitted circumstances, and non-cash investing and financing transactions are excluded from the statement of cash flows, but details about these are reported elsewhere on the financial statements. ASPE presentation requirements are very similar, but required disclosures are limited to interest and dividends paid and charged to retained earnings and the amount of any restricted cash. In addition, interest and dividends received are both operating flows, and interest and dividends paid are operating flows unless they were charged directly to retained earnings.

9. Read and interpret a statement of cash flows. The first step in reading and interpreting a statement of cash flows is to look at the subtotals for the three classifications of activities and the overall change in cash. This provides a high-level summary of the period’s cash flows. Next, analyze the items within each section for additional insights, keeping alert for accounting policies that affect the type of cash flow reported. Familiarity with the company’s business and strategic direction is very useful in interpreting the statement.

10. Identify differences in ASPE and IFRS, and explain what changes are expected to standards for the statement of cash flows. There are no significant differences between ASPE and IFRS related to the statement of cash flows except for the definition of cash equivalents and the presentation and disclosure requirements identified above.

11. Use a work sheet to prepare a statement of cash flows. A work sheet can be used to organize the analysis and cash flow information needed to prepare a statement of cash flows. This method accounts for all changes in the balances of non-cash statement of financial position accounts from the period’s beginning to the end, identifying all operating, investing, and financing cash flows in the process. The statement of cash flows is prepared from the cash flow information

Statement of Cash Flows

22- 31

EXERCISES Ex. 22-62 Choices of statement of cash flows categories under IFRS Under IFRS, choices are allowed in the categorization of interest paid and received and dividends received. Explain what these choices are. Solution 22-62 Under IFRS, there are several choices available for these items: 1. Interest paid/received and dividends received (except dividends received from a significant influence investment) can be recognized in operating activities (assuming they are included in calculating net income). 2.

Interest paid can also be treated as a financing outflow.

3.

Interest and dividends received can also be treated as investing inflows.

4.

Dividends paid can be treated as a financing outflow (highlighting the fact they are returns to shareholders), or an as operating outflow (as a measure of the ability of operations to cover returns to shareholders).

Note, however, once management makes the appropriate choices, they must be applied consistently.

Ex. 22-63 Classification of cash flows and transactions Assuming the company follows ASPE, give: a. three distinct examples of investing activities. b. three distinct examples of financing activities. c. three distinct examples of significant noncash transactions. d. two examples of transactions not shown on a statement of cash flows. Solution 22-63 a.

Ex. 22-69 Direct and indirect methods Explain and compare the direct method and the indirect method of preparing a statement of cash flows. Solution 22-69 Only the operating activities section is affected by the choice of method. The investing and financing sections are the same under both methods. The direct method adjusts revenues and expenses to a cash basis by showing the actual cash received from customers (and any other forms of revenue) and the actual amount of cash paid out for suppliers, employees, operating expenses, interest, taxes, etc. The difference between cash revenues and cash expenses is cash net income, i.e., the net cash flow from operating activities. The indirect method adjusts accrual net income to a cash basis. This is done by starting with the accrual net income and adding or subtracting changes in the balances of current assets and current liabilities during the year, and adjusting for noncash items included in net income. Examples of noncash items include depreciation and amortization, bad debts expense, amortization of bond discount or premium, book gains and losses on disposal of assets, and equity method revenues and losses.

Statement of Cash Flows

22- 49

revenues and cash expenses is cash net income, which is equal to net cash flow from operating activities (effectively, reporting income on a cash basis). The indirect method involves adjusting accrual net income to a cash basis. This is done by starting with accrual net income, adjusting for changes in working capital items and adding or subtracting noncash items included in net income. Public companies generally prefer the indirect method, whereas lending officers and investors tend to prefer the direct method, because of the additional information provided. The only section affected by use of the direct vs indirect methods is the operating activities. IFRS and ASPE also encourage the use of the direct method. The principal advantage of the direct method is that it shows operating cash receipts and payments, and is more consistent with the primary objective of a statement of cash flows, which is to provide information about an entity’s cash receipts and cash payments during a specific period. Advocates of this method maintain that such information is useful for estimating future cash flows. A possible disadvantage is that many companies say their data collection methods do not gather the information required to use the direct method, although this argument may be a bit weak given the powerful computer systems available today. As well, supporters of the indirect method say the direct method may incorrectly suggest that net cash flow from operating activities is as good as (or even better than) accrual net income as a performance measure. The principal advantage of the indirect method is that it focuses on the difference between net income reported on the income statement and the actual cash flow from operating activities. Other advantages offered by indirect method advocates are that it is the “familiar” method which has been used for many years, and that it is cheaper to develop the information compared to the information required for the direct method.

Other Measurement and Disclosure Issues

23- 3

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the importance of disclosure from a business perspective. Information disclosure is important to the proper functioning of capital markets and the allocation of capital. The information provided in financial statements helps investors compare the performance of companies and to assess the relative risks and returns of different investments. The full disclosure principle suggests that information relevant to decision-making should be included in the financial statements. But financial statements are just one of many sources of information for investors and creditors.

2. Review the full disclosure principle and describe problems of implementation. The full disclosure principle calls for financial reporting of any financial facts that are significant enough to influence the judgement of an informed reader. Implementing the full disclosure principle is difficult because the cost of disclosure can be substantial and the benefits difficult to assess. Disclosure requirements for public entities have increased because of (1) the growing complexity of the business environment, (2) the necessity for timely information, and (3) the use of accounting as a control and monitoring device. For private entities, disclosure requirements have decreased due to the lesser complexity of many private entities and the fact that many stakeholders of private entities have greater access to information.

3. Explain the use of accounting policy notes in financial statement preparation. Notes are the accountant’s means of amplifying or explaining the items presented in the main body of the statements. Information that is pertinent to specific financial statement items can be explained in qualitative terms, and supplementary quantitative data can be provided to expand the information in the financial statements. Accounting policy notes explain the accounting methods and policies chosen by the company, thus allowing greater comparability between companies.

4. Describe the disclosure requirements for major segments of a business. If only the consolidated figures are available to the analyst, much information regarding the composition of these figures is hidden in aggregated figures. There is no way to tell from the consolidated data how much each product line contributes to the company’s profitability, risk, and growth potential. As a result, segment information is required by the profession for public entities.

5. Describe the accounting problems associated with interim reporting. Interim reports cover periods of less than one year. There are two viewpoints regarding interim reports. The discrete view holds that each interim period should be treated as a separate accounting period. In contrast, the integral view holds that the interim report is an integral part of the annual report and that deferrals and accruals should take into consideration what will happen for the entire year. IFRS encourages the discrete view approach. The same accounting principles that are used for annual reports should generally be employed for interim reports; however, there are several unique reporting problems. Interim reporting is not mandated by accounting standard setters even for public entities.

6. Discuss the accounting issues for relatedparty transactions. Related-party transactions

Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page is prohibited


23- 4

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

pose special accounting issues. Since the transactions are not at arm’s length, they may have to be remeasured under ASPE, as the exchange value is not necessarily representative of the market or fair value. In the absence of reliable information, the transaction may have to be remeasured to reflect historical values or costs. IFRS does not require remeasurement of related-party transactions whereas ASPE does.

7. Identify the difference between the two types of subsequent events. The first type of events provides additional evidence about an event that existed at the SFP date. These events should be reflected in the SFP and income statement. The second type of event provides evidence about events or transactions that did not exist at the SFP date. These events should be disclosed in notes if they will have a material impact on the future of the company. 8. Identify the major disclosures found in the auditor’s report. If the auditor is satisfied that the financial statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows fairly in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, an unqualified opinion is expressed. A qualified opinion contains an exception to the standard opinion; ordinarily, the exception is not significant enough to invalidate the statements as a whole. An adverse opinion is required in any report in which the exceptions to fair presentation are so pervasive that a qualified opinion is not justified. A disclaimer of an opinion is appropriate when the auditor has gathered so little information on the financial statements that no opinion can be expressed.

9. Describe methods used for basic financial statement analysis and summarize the limitations of ratio analysis. Various techniques are used in the analysis of financial statement data. These include ratio analysis, percentage (common-size) analysis, and examination of related data (in notes and other sources). No one technique is more useful than another. Every situation faced by the analyst is different, and the answers needed are often obtained only on close examination of the interrelationships among all the data provided. Ratio analysis is a starting point in developing information desired by an analyst. While the basic concepts and tools for analysis are provided, keep in mind that there are limitations inherent in individual financial statement analysis techniques. For more complex techniques, you should refer to textbooks and courses that focus entirely on financial statement analysis.

10. Identify the major differences in accounting between ASPE and IFRS, and what changes are expected in the near future. Differences are noted in the chapter and the comparison chart.

EXERCISES Ex. 23-37 Notes to financial statements An article in Dun's Review made the following comments: "At least every other year, businesses should print the notes in big type and the financial figures in smaller ones." Instructions a. Are notes considered part of the financial statements and what basic purpose do they serve? b. What are the general types of notes? Solution 23-37 a. Notes are an integral part of the financial statements of a business enterprise. They are the accountant's method of more fully disclosing data relevant to the interpretation of the statements. Information pertinent to specific financial statement items can be explained in qualitative terms, and supplementary data of a quantitative nature can be provided to expand on the information in the financial statements. Restrictions imposed by financial arrangements or basic contractual agreements can also be explained in notes. b. The more common types of notes disclose such items as the following: (1) accounting methods used for depreciation, amortization and inventory, (2) contingent assets or liabilities, (3) restrictions required by loan covenants, (4) revenue recognition methods, and (5) purchase commitments.

Ex. 23-38 Segmented reporting (IFRS requirements) IFRS requires the reporting of segmented (disaggregated) financial data about operating segments and also about their products and services, the geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers.

(1) Total times segment percentage. (2) Hotels = ($500,000 × 35%) – $30,000 = $145,000 Grains = ($500,000 × 50%) – $22,000 = $228,000 Candy = ($500,000 × 15%) – $8,000 = $67,000 (3) Hotels = ($100,000 × 46%) – $4,000 = $42,000 Grains = ($100,000 × 42%) – $5,000 = $37,000 Candy = ($100,000 × 12%) – $3,000 = $9,000 b. Two segments, Hotels and Grains, must be reported because they satisfy the revenue test; that is, the segment's revenues are 10% or more of the combined revenues of all operating segments. In addition, both the Hotels and the Grains segments meet the 10% of the operating profit test.

Ex. 23-40 Interim reports A few years ago, a publishing company reported a quarterly net profit figure that exceeded sales for that quarter. Such a situation suggests there are some difficult accounting issues involved in interim reporting. Instructions a. What are the major accounting problems related to interim reports? b. What problem exists with income taxes in interim reports and how does IFRS recommend that income taxes should be reported? c. Many academicians have attempted to predict the year's net income after the first quarter's income is reported. These attempts are generally unsuccessful, no matter how sophisticated the prediction model. What might be the reason for this inability to predict? Solution 23-40 a. The major accounting issues related to interim reporting are the treatment of (1) annually determined items such as income taxes, pension costs, and executive compensation based on annual net income, (2) retrospective accounting changes, (3) earnings per share, and (3) the problem of seasonality. b. The basic question with income taxes is whether, in the preparation of interim income statements, the provision for taxes should reflect the anticipated effective tax rate for the year or be calculated on the basis of actual results for that interim period. IFRS recommends that at the end of each interim period the company should make its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This rate should then be used in estimating income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. c. The prediction models are probably unsuccessful because accountants have not treated the problem of seasonality correctly in their interim reports. One of the problems is that fixed nonmanufacturing costs are not charged in proportion to sales. Instead, these costs are charged as incurred, or spread evenly over each quarter. As a result, it is extremely difficult to make accurate predictions because some artificial concepts are used for matching purposes.

23- 21

Discuss some of the issues involved with corporations reporting their results on the internet rather than in paper based formats. Solution 23-41 Advantages of internet reporting include the possibility of communicating with more users, lower costs of communication, the ability of users to use internet and computer tools to help in analysis of financial statements, more timely information, and the possibility of increased availability of information. Possible disadvantages are the differential access due to less than universal access to the internet and issues around reliability of the information, including the possibility of data corruption by hackers and the unaudited nature of much of the information.

Ex. 23-42 Income taxes at interim dates Discuss how income taxes are handled at interim dates. Solution 23-42 It is not feasible to prepare an accurate estimate of income taxes on interim statements as the tax rate is often dependent on the total taxable income for the year. As a result, interim income taxes are estimated using the annual estimated tax rate applied to the estimated interim taxable income and temporary differences.

Ex. 23-43 Ratios for financial analysis Discuss the four major types of ratios used for financial analysis, and give two examples of each. What would each type likely be used for? Solution 23-43 The four major types of ratios are: 1. Liquidity ratios, which measure the enterprise’s short-term ability to pay obligations as they become due. Examples are the current ratio and the acid-test ratio. 2. Activity ratios, which measure how effectively the enterprise is using its assets, as well as how quickly the asset’s value is realized. Examples are the inventory turnover and asset turnover ratios. 3. Profitability ratios, which measure financial performance and shareholder value creation for a specific time frame. Examples are profit margin on sales and rate of return on common shareholders’ equity. 4. Coverage (solvency) ratios, which measure the degree of protection for long-term creditors and investors, or the enterprise’s ability to meet long-term obligations. Examples are debt to total assets and times interest earned. Liquidity and coverage ratios generally reflect financial strength, i.e. the ability to satisfy the financial requirements of non-ownership interests. Activity and profitability ratios are generally used to assess management performance.

PROBLEMS Pr. 23-44 Segmented reporting (IFRS requirements) A central issue in reporting on operating segments of a business enterprise is the determination of which segments are reportable under IFRS. Instructions a. According to IFRS, what are the tests to determine whether or not an operating segment is reportable? b. What is the test to determine if enough operating segments have been separately reported upon, and what is the guideline on the maximum number of operating segments to be shown? Solution 23-44 a. There are three basic tests to be applied to segments of an industry to see if they are significant enough to be separately reportable. If a segment meets any one of the tests, it is deemed significant and reportable. The first test is based on revenue. If a segment's revenue from sales to external customers and intersegment sales and transfers is equal to 10% or more of the enterprise's combined revenues, the segment is reportable. The second test is based on profits or losses. A segment is deemed reportable if the absolute amount of its profit or loss is 10% or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of: The combined profits of all operating segments reporting profits. The combined losses of all operating segments reporting losses. Third, a segment is reportable if its assets equal or exceed 10% of the combined assets of all operating segments of the enterprise. b. Enough operating segments must be separately reported so that the total of revenues from sales to external customers for the reportable segments equals or exceeds 75% of the combined sales to external customers for the entire enterprise. If applying the prescribed tests does not yield the required percentage of revenues described above, additional segments must be reported on until the 75% test is met. The profession recognizes that if an enterprise has many reportable segments, the benefit to the reader may be lost if more than 10 segments are reported. Therefore, it has proposed ten segments as an upper limit for the number of reportable segments. Note that ASPE does not provide guidance for reporting segmented information.

Pr. 23-45 Interim reporting There is ongoing discussion as to the proper method of reflecting results of operations at interim dates. Accordingly, IFRS has made recommendations regarding interim financial reporting. Instructions a. Discuss generally how revenue should be recognized at interim dates and specifically how

b. c.

revenue should be recognized for industries subject to large seasonal fluctuations in revenue and for long-term contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. Discuss generally how product and period costs should be recognized at interim dates. Also discuss how inventory values should be treated at interim dates. Discuss how the provision for income taxes is calculated and reported in interim financial statements.

Solution 23-45 a. Sales and other revenues should be recognized for interim financial statement purposes in the same manner as for annual reporting purposes. This means normally at the point of sale or, in the case of services, at completion of the earnings process. In the case of industries whose sales vary greatly due to the seasonality, revenues should still be recognized as earned, but a disclosure should be made of the seasonal nature of the business. In the case of long-term contracts recognizing earnings on the percentage-of-completion basis, the current state of completion of the contract should be estimated and revenue recognized at interim dates in the same manner as at the normal year-end. b. For interim reporting purposes, product costs (costs directly attributable to the production of goods or services) should be matched with the product and associated revenues in the same manner as for annual reporting purposes. Period costs (costs not directly associated with the production of a particular good or service) should be charged to earnings as incurred or allocated among interim periods based on an estimate of time expired, benefit received, or other activity associated with the particular interim period(s). Also, if a gain or loss occurs during an interim period and is a type that would not be deferred at year-end, the gain or loss should be recognized in full in the interim period in which it occurs. Finally, in allocating period costs among interim periods, the basis for allocation must be supportable and may not be based on merely an arbitrary assignment of costs between interim periods. Inventory losses from a decline in market value at interim dates should be recognized in the appropriate period unless they are temporary and no loss is expected for the fiscal year. c. A corporation would prepare its tax return at year-end and assess taxes payable and related tax balances. It is normally neither cost effective nor feasible (since tax rates are often graduated) to do this for each interim period. Therefore an annual estimated tax rate is calculated, then an estimate is made of interim taxable income and temporary differences and then the annual estimated tax rate is applied.

Pr. 23-46 Types of subsequent events Identify the difference between the two types of subsequent events. Solution 23-46 Type 1 events provide additional evidence about situations that existed at the statement of financial position date, affecting the estimates used in preparing the financial statements and, therefore, will result in required adjustments. These items should be reflected in the final financial statements. To ignore these subsequent transactions is to miss an opportunity to improve the accuracy of the financial statements. Type 2 events provide evidence about situations that did not exist at the statement of financial position date. They arise subsequent to the statement of financial position date, and no

adjustments are made to the accounts. However, they should be afforded note disclosure if they will have a material impact on the future of the enterprise. Pr. 23-47 Auditor’s report Identify the major disclosures found in the auditor’s report. Solution 23-47 If the auditor is satisfied that the financial statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, in all material respects, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, an unqualified opinion is expressed. A qualified opinion contains an exception to the standard opinion; ordinarily the exception is not of sufficient magnitude to invalidate the statements as a whole. A qualified opinion may also be given if there is a scope limitation where the auditor has not been able to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence. An adverse opinion is required in any report in which the exceptions to fair presentation are so material that a qualified opinion is not justified. A disclaimer of an opinion is appropriate when the auditor has gathered so little information on the financial statements that no opinion can be expressed. In such a case, the financial statements taken as a whole are not presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

The balance in the Insurance Expense account contains the premium costs of three policies: Policy 1, remaining cost of $2,550, 1-yr. term, effective May 1, 2013; Policy 2, original cost of $2,700, 3-yr. term, effective Oct. 1, 2014; Policy 3, original cost of $1,300, 1-yr. term, effective Jan. 1, 2014. On September 30, 2014, Doberman received $14,400 rent from a lessee for an eighteen month lease beginning on that date, which was credited to the Rent Revenue account. All depreciable assets are depreciated at 10% per year. However, any acquisitions and disposals during the year are depreciated at half this rate. There were no acquisitions of PPE during 2014. On December 31, 2013, the balance in the Plant and Equipment account was $230,000. On December 28, 2014, the bookkeeper incorrectly credited Sales Revenue for a receipt on account from a regular customer of $10,000. At December 31, 2014, salaries accrued but unpaid were $4,200. Based upon an aging of the accounts, Doberman estimates that 5% of the Accounts Receivable balance on December 31, 2014 will become uncollectible. On August 1, 2014, Doberman purchased, as a temporary investment, $70,000, 6% bonds of Mongrel Corp. at par. The bonds mature on August 1, 2017. Interest payment dates are July 31 and January 31. On April 30, 2014, Doberman rented a warehouse for $2,000 per month, paying $24,000 in advance.

Problem A-2 Solution a. 1. Prepaid Insurance ........................................................................ 2,475 Insurance Expense ................................................................ 2,475 Explanation: Both Policies 1 and 3 have expired, so their costs stay in Insurance Expense. The monthly premium for Policy 2 is $2,700 ÷ 36 = $75. At Dec 31/14, the unexpired portion is 33 months x $75 = $2,475, and needs to be transferred to the asset account. 2.

Rent Revenue .............................................................................. 12,000 Unearned Rent ...................................................................... 12,000 Explanation: Monthly rent is $14,400 ÷ 18 = $800. At Dec 31/14, 15 months x $800 = $12,000 remains unearned, and needs to be transferred to the liability account. 3.

b. Items 1, 2, 5, and 7: Items No. 1 and No. 2 represent prepaid items that were initially recorded in temporary accounts. Items No. 5 and No. 7 represent accrued items.

Problem A-3 Solution 1. Permanent accounts (also called real accounts) are assets, liability and equity accounts. Unlike temporary accounts, permanent accounts are not closed. 2.

Temporary accounts are revenue and expense accounts. Unlike permanent accounts, they are closed at fiscal year end.

3.

If they are material, they are disclosed separately but must be shown above "income(loss) before discontinued operations” and above the income tax provision. If they are immaterial, they are combined with other gains and losses of the period. Either way, they are included in the company's income form continuing operations.

4.

Classification in financial statements increases their information content. This is accomplished through the grouping of items with similar characteristics and separating items with different characteristics.

5.

Free cash flow can be defined as a measure of a company's level of financial flexibility and is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures and dividends.

6.

The earnings approach focuses on the earnings process itself and how value is added. The contract-based approach focuses on the creation of contractual rights and obligations that are created by sales contracts.

Problem B-2 Solution 1. Cash and cash equivalents are financial assets. Cash consists of coins, currency and available funds on deposit at a bank, as well as negotiable instruments. Cash equivalents are highly liquid short-term investments that can be exchanged for known amounts of cash. Together they are usually reported as current asset, “cash and cash equivalents,” in the statement of financial position, unless the funds are restricted or otherwise encumbered. 2.

The two standards are for the most part very similar. Differences include the disclosure requirements, which are more extensive under IFRS, and the use of the effective interest method for the amortization of discounts and premiums for financial assets (required by IFRS, but optional under GAAP).

3.

Manufacturing companies typically have three inventory categories: raw materials, work-inprocess and finished goods. Their relationship can be seen in that both the raw materials and the finished goods are included in the finished goods inventory. Specifically, the raw materials can be traced directly to the end product.

Problem C-3 Solution 1. The major categories are marketing-related, customer-related, artistic-related, contract-based and technology-based intangible assets. 2.

The two models are the cost recovery impairment model and the rational entity impairment model. The first is used for ASPE and the latter is used in IFRS.

3. Depreciation accounting is the systematic and rational allocation of the cost of plant assets to the periods benefited from the use of the assets. 4. Depreciation accounting does not provide funds. Revenues provide funds. Depreciation accounting retains funds by reducing income taxes and dividends.

Problem C-4 Solution a. Recoverable amount: The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's value in use of $64,000 and its fair value less selling costs of $67,000. Thus, the recoverable amount is $67,000. b. Impairment loss: Carrying amount ...........................................................................

Comprehensive Exam-E for Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition

Problem E-1 Accounting changes and error corrections Wyoming Corp.’s reported pretax incomes for 2014 and the previous two years as follows: 2014 2013 2012 $150,000 $125,000 $95,000 2014’s income was correctly determined after taking into account the following accounting changes and error corrections made during the year (the errors were made in previous years but were not discovered until 2014). The incomes for 2012 and 2013 do not take these items into account and are stated at the amounts determined at the time. 1. Early in 2014, Wyoming determined that equipment purchased in January 2012 for $124,000, with an estimated life of five years and residual value of $4,000, is now estimated to have a total seven year life (from the date of purchase), but will have only a $2,000 residual value. Wyoming is using straight-line depreciation for this equipment. 2. Wyoming discovered that depreciation expense had been understated by $17,000 in 2013, owing to the fact that an adjusting entry for depreciation on machinery was not recorded. 3. On January 1, 2011, Wyoming bought a truck for $108,000, with a $12,000 estimated residual value and a six-year life. At that time, the bookkeeper debited an expense account for this purchase. Wyoming uses straight-line depreciation for its trucks. 4. Wyoming, in reviewing its allowance for doubtful accounts during 2014, has determined that 1% is the appropriate amount of bad debt expense to be recorded. The company had used 1.5% as its rate in 2013 and 2012 when the expense had been $14,000 and $10,000, respectively. Wyoming would have recorded $24,000 in bad debt expense for 2014 if they had used the old rate. 5. At the beginning of 2014, Wyoming decided to change from the average cost method of valuing inventories to FIFO, and used FIFO all during 2014 (perpetual system). They have determined that the opening inventory at January 1, 2014, which was $55,500 using average cost, would have been $52,500 using FIFO. Assume this change will make their financial statements as reliable and more relevant. Instructions a. For each of the situations above, prepare the journal entry or entries Wyoming Corp. would have prepared to adjust for them during 2014. If you think no entry was prepared, write “none.” Ignore income taxes. b. After recording each situation in part a., prepare the appropriate year-end adjusting entry (entries) that should have been made at December 31, 2014. If you think no entry would be required, write “none.” Ignore income taxes.

Problem E-2 Deferred income taxes In 2014, the first year of its existence, Virginia Ltd.'s accountant, in preparing both the income statement and the tax return, developed the following list of items creating differences between accounting and taxable income: 1. The company sells its merchandise on an installment contract basis. In 2014, Virginia elected, for tax purposes, to report the gross profit from these sales in the years the receivables are collected. However, for financial statement purposes, the company recognized all the gross profit in 2014. These procedures created a $240,000 difference between book and taxable incomes for 2014. Future collections of installment receivables are expected to result in taxable amounts of $120,000 in each of the next two years. 2. The company depreciates all of its property, plant and equipment using CCA for tax purposes and straight-line for accounting purposes. This resulted in $42,000 excess CCA over accounting depreciation. This temporary difference will reverse equally over the three year Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.

period from 2015–2017. On July 1, 2014, Virginia leased part of its building to Swift Books Ltd. on a two-year operating lease. The monthly rent is $30,000, and Swift paid the first year's rent in advance (July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015). Virginia reported the entire amount on its tax return. This resulted in a $180,000 difference between book and taxable incomes. Virginia sold $150,000 of bonds issued by the Government of Canada at a gain of $18,000, which was included as other income in its income statement. A taxable capital gain of $9,000 was reported for tax purposes. In 2014, Virginia insured the lives of its chief executives. The premiums paid were $12,000 and this amount was shown as an expense on the income statement. However, this amount was not deductible for tax purposes.

Virginia is a publicly accountable enterprise adhering to IFRS. Their 2014 income statement showed "Income before income taxes" of $900,000. The currently enacted income tax rate (and for the foreseeable future) is 40%. Except for those items mentioned above, there are no other differences between book and taxable incomes. Instructions a. Calculate the income tax payable for 2014. b. Prepare a schedule of future taxable/deductible amounts at the end of 2014. c. Prepare a schedule of the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability at the end of 2014. d. Calculate the net deferred tax expense (benefit) for 2014. e. Prepare the journal entry (entries) recording income tax expense, income tax payable, and deferred income taxes for 2014. f. How would the income tax expense and any deferred taxes be disclosed on the financial statements?

Problem E-3 Pension calculations and accounting On January 1, 2014, Vermont Ltd. reported the following balances relating to their defined benefit pension plan: Defined benefit obligation ........................................... $1,600,000 Fair value of plan assets ............................................ 1,600,000 Other data related to the pension plan for calendar 2014 are: Current service cost ................................................... 70,000 Contributions to the plan ............................................ 102,000 Benefits paid .............................................................. 100,000 Actual return on plan assets ....................................... 96,000 Interest (discount) rate ............................................... 9% Vermont uses the immediate recognition approach. Instructions a. Calculate the defined benefit obligation at December 31, 2014. b. Calculate the fair value of plan assets at December 31, 2014. c. Calculate pension expense for 2014. d. Prepare the journal entries to record the pension expense and the contributions for 2014.

Problem E-4 Leases On January 1, 2014, Garfield Corp. (lessor) entered into a noncancellable lease agreement with Odie Corp. (lessee) for machinery which was carried in Garfield’s accounting records at $2,265,000 and had a fair value of $2,400,000. Minimum lease payments under the lease agreement, which expires on December 31, 2023, total $3,550,000. Payments of $355,000 are due each January 1. The first payment was made on January 1, 2014 when the lease agreement was finalized. The interest rate of 10% which was stipulated in the lease agreement is the implicit rate set by the lessor. The effective interest method is being used. Odie expects the machine to have a ten-year life with no residual value, and be depreciated on a straight-line basis. Collectibility of the rentals is reasonably assured, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the costs yet to be incurred by Garfield. Both entities are small private corporations that follow ASPE. Instructions a. From the lessee's viewpoint, what kind of lease is the above agreement? From the lessor's viewpoint, what kind of lease is the above agreement? b. Ignoring income taxes, what should be the income reported by Garfield from the lease for calendar 2014? c. Ignoring income taxes, what should be the expenses incurred by Odie from this lease for the calendar 2014? d. What journal entries should be recorded by Odie Corp. on January 1, 2014? e. What journal entries should be recorded by Garfield Corp. on January 1, 2014?

Problem E-4 Solution a. From the viewpoint of the lessee (Odie Corp.), the lease is a capital (finance) lease because the present value of the minimum lease payments ($2,400,000) exceeds 90% of the fair market value of the leased property. The lease term also is in excess of 75% of the property's estimated economic life. For those same reasons and because of the predictable collectibility, absence of uncertainties surrounding costs yet to be incurred by the lessor, and presence of a dealer's profit, the lease is a sales-type lease to the lessor, Garfield Corp. b.

Problem F-5 Solution There are four sources of uncertainty: 1. Uncertainty about the nature and role of financial statements. Misunderstanding the nature, purpose, terminology used, and method of preparation of financial statements can lead users to misinterpret and/or place inappropriate reliance on the information. 2. Uncertainty about the nature of business operations portrayed in the financial statements. The unpredictability of business activities due to factors such as economic environment, technology, and competitors’ actions causes uncertainty. Knowledge of the type of business activities carried out is important in determining the extent of the uncertainties present. 3. Uncertainty due to limitations of financial statement measurements and disclosures. The conceptual framework, CICA Handbook recommendations, and accounting practice dictate that various principles be followed and methods used. Uncertainty occurs when there is recognition that the resulting measurements and disclosures are not well understood or are thought to be incomplete or to lack relevance in a particular decision context. 4. Uncertainty about management’s motives and intentions. Management is responsible for determining the accounting policies and methods used to prepare the financial statements. Choice of a policy or method should be based on reflecting underlying economic reality. This source of uncertainty suggests, however, that users may suspect that management’s choices are more motivated by a need to “manage earnings” – e.g. to maximize bonuses over time, or to avoid debt covenant violations. Other limitations of ratio analysis include: 5.

Ratios are based on historical cost, which can lead to distortions in measuring performance.

6. Accounting necessarily involves estimates. Estimated items (such as depreciation, site restoration costs, and bad debts) can be significant, and ratios based on significant estimates may be less credible. 7. Achieving comparability among companies in a given industry may be difficult. Different enterprises often apply different accounting policies. Therefore, the analyst must identify basic differences in their accounting methods and make adjustments accordingly.
