15) X Inc. and Y Inc. are virtually identical companies with identical cost structures and very similar

business practices operating in the same lines of business. X Inc. is a public company based in Canada and follows IFRS while Y Inc. is a private enterprise based in Canada and follows ASPE. The following were the condensed income statements for both companies for the last year before both adopted IFRS.

Sales: Less: Cost of Goods Sold Gross Margin Administrative Expenses Net Income:

X Inc. Y Inc. $1,000,000 $2,000,000 $500,000 $1,600,000 $500,000 $400,000 $200,000 $300,000 $300,000

$100,000

Required: Given the information provided, what are some possible causes for the differing results of these companies? Answer: There could be many possible explanations for these differing results. Y Inc.'s net income is $100,000, compared to X Inc.'s $300,000. Conversely, Y Inc.'s sales are twice those of X Inc. What is particularly noteworthy is Y Inc.'s 20% gross margin compared to X Inc.'s 50% gross margin. This could be due to the accelerated depreciation on Y Inc.'s property, plant and equipment or provisions made for future maintenance costs. Smoothing practices may have been applied to reduce Y Inc.'s income, and of course, its tax liability. Y Inc.'s income may have been further reduced by higher estimates (for example: bad debt expense, warranty costs and so forth) which are not necessarily be indicative of economic conditions. Note: Once again, the above analysis is not necessarily exhaustive. Students may be able to identify other valid differences. 16) Briefly discuss the anticipated changes to accounting standards in Canada over the next few years. Answer: 1. The format and structure of financial statements may change to present a cohesive

relationship between the various statements; 2. The Conceptual Framework will be revised to create a sound foundation for future accounting standards that are principles based, internally consistent, and internationally converged. Relevance and faithful representation will be the fundamental qualitative characteristics of financial information. The definitions of assets and liabilities may change to focus more on rights and obligations to eliminate the reference to past events. When and how to use various measurement bases may be clarified. 4


17) What disclosure requirements must be met when a Canadian company adopts IFRS for the first

time? Answer: 1. The company must reconcile its equity reported under the previous GAAP to its equity in

accordance with IFRS for both the date of transition to IFRS and the end of the latest period reported under the previous GAAP. 2. The company must reconcile its total comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS to that reported in the latest statements prepared under the previous GAAP. 3. The company must provide sufficient detail to enable users to understand the material adjustments to the statement of financial position, the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows. 18) List some of the key differences between IFRS and ASPE. Answer: Some key differences between IFRS and ASPE are:

> disclosure > impaired loans > property, plant, and equipment revaluation option > asset impairment (test for impairment if indicator requires, and subsequent reversal of impairment loss) > development costs > post-employment benefits (recognition of actuarial gains/losses) > income taxes > interest capitalization > compound financial instruments > preferred shares in tax planning arrangements > value of conversion option for convertible bonds (See Exhibit 1.1 "Some Key Differences between IFRS and ASPE" for a full list and a description of the difference.)

Briefly explain how this eliminated one possible method of earnings management that previously allowed companies discretion in managing net income. Answer: When realized gains on investments accounted for through other comprehensive income were cycled through net income, companies could designate investments as accounted for through other comprehensive income and then time the disposal of such investments to recycle the gains through net income to increase or decrease earnings. To increase net income, investments with unrealized gains could be sold and the gains recognized in net income. To reduce net income, investments with unrealized losses could be sold and the losses recognized in net income. This was potentially effective because the market places more emphasis on net income relative to other comprehensive income.

In turn, ABC123's fair market values were equal to their book values with the exception of the Company's Inventory and Plant and Equipment, which were said to have Fair Market Values of $30,000 and $480,000, respectively. Assuming that DEF456's Plant and Equipment was worth $400,000. Calculate the goodwill arising from this business combination and state how it would be shown in the consolidated balance sheet on the acquisition date. Answer: The new Purchase Price discrepancy would be calculated as follows: a) Purchase Price: Less: Fair value of Net Assets Acquired: Goodwill:

$400,000 $542,000 ($142,000)

Note that DEF456' s identifiable assets include a trademark worth $100,000 but exclude the company's Goodwill. Because the purchase price is below the fair market values of DEF456's identifiable assets, we have negative Goodwill. This negative goodwill should be allocated to reduce the value of the subsidiary's goodwill to zero and to record any remaining amount as a gain.

56) Assume that X Inc. wishes to enter into a Business Combination with Y Inc. on January 1, 2017. X

is unsure whether it should purchase Y's assets or liabilities or whether it should purchase all of Y's outstanding voting shares. X and Y are incorporated in different jurisdictions. On January 1, Y Inc was estimated to have various intangibles estimated to be worth a total of $1,000,000. Of this amount, $250,000 can be attributable to a Trademark owned by Y. Required: In the absence of any other figures, prepare a brief report explaining anything that would be of interest the Board of Directors of X Inc. Answer: Report to the Board of Directors of X Inc: In order for a Business Combination to exist, an acquirer must be identified. In most cases it would be cheaper for X to acquire control of Y's assets through a Share Purchase than it would be to purchase the assets outright, since X would only to purchase a majority of Y's voting shares. However, if the Fair Value of Y's Net Assets exceeds its book values, a purchase of assets instead of shares would be more advantageous to X from a Tax standpoint, as its deduction for capital cost allowance (CCA) would then be based on Fair Market Values, which are higher than its book values. The fact that both corporations lie in different jurisdictions precludes a Statutory Amalgamation. When consolidated Financial Statements are prepared, Y Inc's Trademark would appear at its fair value of $250,000. Although the company has other intangibles, because they are not readily identifiable, their values would be attributed to Goodwill. After January 1, 2011 (or sooner if IFRS 3 had been adopted earlier), IFRS 3 requires that the acquisition method be used to account for all business combinations. Under this method, the company reports the identifiable net assets being acquired at the fair value of these net assets regardless of the amount paid for these net assets. When the purchase price is greater than the fair value of the identifiable net assets, the excess is reported as goodwill similar to the purchase method. When the purchase price is less than the fair value of identifiable net assets, the identifiable net assets are still reported at fair value and the deficiency in purchase price is reported as a gain on the purchase. The practice is not consistent with the historical cost principle, where assets are reported at the amount paid for the assets. This is, however, the general trend in accounting. 57) Company Inc. owns all of the outstanding voting shares of Firm Inc. On January 1st, 2017, Firm Inc.

would like to purchase all of the voting shares of its main competitor, N-CORP Inc. Briefly discuss the purported accounting implications of this transaction. Answer: Given that Firm Inc is a wholly owned subsidiary of Company Inc, its acquisition of N-CORP would have to meet with Company Inc.'s approval. In effect, any shares of N-CORP acquired by Firm Inc. would be controlled by Company Inc. Such a purchase would constitute a Business Combination, and Company Inc. would have to prepare consolidated financial statements including both Firm Inc. and N-CORP.

· Note that Jean's imputed acquisition cost of acquiring 100% of John Inc. would be $400,000/0.9 or $444,444 (rounded). · Goodwill would be calculated as follows: Imputed acquisition cost of 100% of John Inc: Less: Fair Value of John's Net Assets: Goodwill:

$444,444 ($250,000) $194,444

Non-Controlling Interest would be 10% of John Inc.'s fair values including Goodwill: i.e. 10% * ($250,000 + $194,444) = $44,444.

53) Company A Inc. owns a controlling interest in Company B. which is located overseas. Company A

and B are in entirely different lines of business. Company A wishes to file a request allowing it to not consolidate its financial statements with those of Company B. Assuming that Company A is based in Canada, is this allowed? Explain. Answer: Generally speaking, this practice is not allowed. IFRS requires that all subsidiaries be consolidated, unless the subsidiary is subject to any long-term restrictions which prevent it from transferring funds to the Parent, or if the nature of the Parent Company's control over the subsidiary is temporary. IFRS describes control as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to benefit from its activities. Although Control is presumed to exist when a company owns more than 50% of the voting shares of another, evidence of control may still exist without such a controlling interest. It should be noted that some countries allow for exclusions for temporary control, non-homogeneous subsidiaries, subsidiaries that are bankrupt or under reorganization or subsidiaries that are immaterial in size. It should also be noted that the non-homogeneous exclusion was used in the past, both in the United States and Canada. N.B. The determination of control/significant influence, etc., is covered at length in Chapters 2 and 3. However, its inclusion in this chapter is still, arguably, very relevant. 54) X Company Purchases a (100%) controlling interest in Y Company by issuing $2,000,000 worth of

common shares. An agreement was drawn whereby X Company would pay 10% of any earnings in excess of $750,000 to Y's shareholders in the first year following the acquisition. On that date, X's shares had a market value of $80 per share. Required: a) Assuming that Y's net income was $950,000, prepare any journal entries (for company X) that you feel may be necessary to reflect Y's results under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Assume that on the acquisition date no provision was made for the contingent consideration. b) Assuming that the agreement called for Y's shareholders to be compensated for any decline in X's share price, what journal entries would be required under IFRS 3, if the market value of X's shares dropped to $64? Answer: a) Loss from Contingent Consideration Cash

b) Common shares-old shares Common shares-new shares

55) Major Corporation issues 1,000,000 common shares for all of the outstanding common shares of

Minor Corporation on August 1, Year 1. The shares issued have a fair market value of $40. In addition, the merger agreement provides that if the market price of Major's shares is below $60 two years from the date of the merger, Major will issue additional shares to the former shareholders of Minor Corporation in an amount that will compensate them for their loss of value. On August 1, Year 3, the stock market price of major's shares is $55. In accordance with their agreement, Major Corporation issues an additional number of shares. Required: a) Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the shares. b) Calculate the number of additional shares that Major Corporation will have to issue to the former shareholders of Minor Corporation. c) Prepare the journal entry to record the transaction under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. d) Are there any alternatives for recording the additional share issuance? e) What would be the required disclosure for this series of events? Answer: a) Journal entry to record the issuance of shares Investment in Minor Common Shares

$40,000,000 $40,000,000

b) Additional shares (60,000,000/$55 - 1,000,000) = 90,909.09 c) Common shares-old shares (90,909.09 * $55) Common shares-new shares

56) There are a number of theories of how financial statements should be prepared for non-wholly

owned subsidiaries. Briefly discuss each theory and provide your reasoning to support the theory that is being adopted under IFRSs. Answer: There are four theories that have been put forward for the preparation of financial statements under circumstances where the subsidiary is non-wholly owned and they are: a) The Proprietary theory b) The Parent Company theory c) The Parent Company Extension theory d) The Entity theory The theory that was adopted under IFRS 3 Business Combinations was the Entity Theory. The Entity Theory views the consolidated entity as having two distinct groups of shareholders: the controlling shareholders and the non-controlling shareholders. All values are reflected at fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets with the balance recorded as goodwill. The issue becomes one of determining the fair value of the fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable assets and liabilities and the fair value of NCI. In addition, the Entity Theory represents a departure from the historical cost basis that has been used by accountants in the past as objective and verifiable. But the reality is that fair value of each party constitutes their participation in the entity. And arguably with a transaction having occurred in the shares of the subsidiary each of the participants should have their participation re-valued at current market prices or valuations and not historical cost. 57) Discuss the disclosure requirements for long term investments including accounting policies and

non-controlling interest (NCI). Answer: Companies should disclose their policies with regard to long-term investments. The general presumptions regarding the factors that establish a control investment and noted that these presumptions could be overcome in certain situations. IFRS 3 Business Combinations requires that a reporting entity describe the basis for its assessment and any significant assumptions or judgments when the reporting entity has concluded that: (a) it controls an entity whose activities are directed through voting shares even though the reporting entity has less than half of that entity's voting shares, and (b) it does not control an entity whose activities are directed through voting shares even though the reporting entity is the dominant shareholder with voting rights. IFRS 3 requires that a reporting entity disclose the following for each business combination in which the acquirer holds less than 100% of the equity interests in the acquiree at the acquisition date: a) The amount of the NCI in the acquiree recognized at the acquisition date and the measurement basis for that amount; and; b) For each NCI in an acquiree measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and key model inputs used for determining that value.

58) After the introduction of the entity method in Canada, many companies opted to value the

non-controlling interest in subsidiaries based on the fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets at the acquisition date instead of valuing the non-controlling interest at its fair value. That is, they opted to use the parent company extension approach rather than the entity method when preparing consolidated financial statements. What motivation might preparers of consolidated financial statements have that would cause them to have this preference? Answer: Using the parent company extension approach results in total assets being lower (because only the parent's share of the goodwill arising from the business acquisition is recorded). In addition, only the parent's share of any goodwill impairment would be recorded in future years. As a result, the net income would be the same or higher when the parent company extension approach is used and the total assets is lower, so the return on assets would be higher making the results look better than if the entity method had been applied. 59) Why might the fair value of the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary on the date that it is acquired

in a business combination not be proportionate to the price per share paid by the parent company to acquire control? How do the IFRS recognize this? Answer: Reasons why the fair value of the non-controlling interest might not be proportionate to the price paid by the parent include: · there may be synergies to the controlling interest that do not benefit the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary; · often a premium is paid to achieve control; · the acquisition may have taken place at different prices in a series of purchases, not as a single purchase on the acquisition date. IFRS recognizes this by permitting both the entity method and the parent company extension methods of valuing the non-controlling interest at acquisition. The standards allow the NCI to be valued based either on its fair value or on the basis of the fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets at acquisition.

Errant Inc. purchased 100% of the outstanding voting shares of Grub Inc. for $200,000 on January 1, 2018. On that date, Grub Inc. had common shares and retained earnings worth $100,000 and $60,000, respectively. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. The balance sheets of both companies, as well as Grub's fair market values on the date of acquisition are disclosed below:

Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory Equipment (net) Trademark Total Assets Current Liabilities Bonds Payable Common Shares Retained Earnings Total Liabilities and Equity

Errant Inc. (carrying value) $120,000 $ 80,000 $ 60,000 $400,000 $660,000

Big Guy Inc. purchased 80% of the outstanding voting shares of Humble Corp. for $360,000 on July 1, 2017. On that date, Humble Corp. had Common Shares and Retained Earnings worth $180,000 and $90,000, respectively. The Equipment had a remaining useful life of 5 years from the date of acquisition. Humble's Bonds mature on July 1, 2027. Both companies use straight line amortization, and no salvage value is assumed for assets. The trademark is assumed to have an indefinite useful life. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. The balance sheets of both companies, as well as Humble's fair market values on the date of acquisition are disclosed below:

Answer: C SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. 50) Davis Inc. purchased a controlling interest in Martin Inc. on January 1, 2015, when Martin's

common shares and retained earnings were carried at $180,000 and $60,000 respectively. On that date, Martin's book values approximated its fair values, with the exception of the company's inventories and a Patent held by Martin. The patent, which had an estimated remaining useful life of ten years, had a fair value which was $20,000 higher than its book value. Martin's Inventories on January 1, 2015 were estimated to have a fair value that was $16,000 higher than their book value. It was predicted that Martin's goodwill impairment test, which was to be conducted on December 31, 2016, would result in a loss equal to 10% of the goodwill (regardless of the amount) at the date of acquisition being recorded. During 2015, Martin reported a net income of $60,000 and paid $12,000 in dividends. Martin's 2016 net income and dividends were $72,000 and $15,000, respectively. Martin uses straight-line amortization for all of its assets. Assuming that Davis purchases 100% of Martin for $300,000, answer the following: Required: a) Prepare Davis' Equity Method journal entries for 2015 and 2016. b) Compute the following as at December 31, 2016:

53) Selectron Inc. acquired 60% of Insor Inc. on January 1, 2016 for $180,000, when Insor's Common

Shares and Retained Earnings were worth $60,000 and $180,000 respectively. Insor's fair values approximated their book values on that date. Selectron currently uses the Equity Method to account for its investment in Insor. During 2016, investment Income in the amount of $12,000 and Dividends in the amount of $1,200 were recorded in Selectron's investment in Insor account. During 2017, investment income in the amount of $24,000 and Dividends in the amount of $2,400 were recorded in Selectron's investment in Insor account. Typically, Insor declares dividends in the amount of 10% of its earnings. Required: a) Compute Insor's net income for 2016 and 2017. b) Compute the amount of dividends declared by Insor in each year. c) Compute the balance in the non-controlling interest count as at December 31, 2017. Answer: a) Insor's Net Income for 2016 and 2017 had to be $20,000 and $40,000 respectively. Insor's Net Income for 2016 is calculated as follows: 2016 Net Income flowing through investment account = $12,000; $12,000/60% = $20,000 Insor's 2017 net income would be calculated in the same manner, and would be $40,000. b) Dividends, 2016 = $20,000 × 10 % = $2,000 (or $1,200/60%) Dividends, 2017 = $4,000. c) Non-Controlling Interest: Fair value of Insor at date of acquisition: Add: 2016 Net Income Less: 2016 Dividends Add: 2017 Net Income Less: 2017 Dividends Book value of Insor, December 31, 2017

54) Brand X Inc. purchased a controlling interest in Brand Y Inc. on January 1, 2017. On that date, Brand

Y Inc. had common shares and retained earnings worth $180,000 and $20,000, respectively. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. At the date of acquisition, Brand Y's assets and liabilities were assessed for fair value as follows: Inventory Equipment Patent Bonds Payable

$5,000 less than book value $30,000 less than book value $24,000 greater than fair value $5,000 less than book value

The net incomes for Brand X and Brand Y for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $1,000 and $50,000 respectively. An impairment test conducted on December 31, 2017 revealed that the Goodwill should actually have a value $2,000 lower than the amount calculated on the date of acquisition. Both companies use a FIFO system, and Brand Y's inventory on the date of acquisition was sold during the year. Brand X did not declare any dividends during the year. However, Brand Y paid $51,000 in dividends to make up for several years in which the company had never paid any dividends. Brand Y's equipment and patent have useful lives of 10 years and 6 years respectively from the date of acquisition. All bonds payable mature on January 1, 2022. Prepare Brand X's consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2017, assuming that Brand X purchased 100% of Brand Y for $350,000 and accounts for its investment using the equity method.

Both companies use a FIFO system, and Stanton's entire inventory on the date of acquisition was sold during the following year. During 2015, Stanton Inc. borrowed $20,000 in cash from Remburn Inc. interest free to finance its operations. Remburn uses the Cost Method to account for its investment in Stanton Inc. Moreover, Stanton sold all of its land during the year for $18,000. Goodwill impairment for 2015 was determined to be $7,000. Remburn has chosen to value the non-controlling interest in Stanton on the acquisition date at the fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets (parent company extension method). 61) Prepare Remburn's consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2015 and show

65) Assume that Stanton's Equipment, Land and Trademark on the date of acquisition form part of a

single asset group. Assume also that these assets are expected to generate future cash flows of $40,000. Does this mean that Stanton will have to recognize an impairment loss? Explain. Answer: Not necessarily. Given the above information, Stanton has "failed" the first part of the required two-part impairment test required for long-lived assets since the expected future cash flows of this asset group of $40,000 falls well short of the carrying values of the assets within the group, which total $55,000. Given this information, the second part of the two-part impairment test must be applied. The second part of the impairment test requires that an impairment loss be recognized if Stanton fails the first part of the impairment test and the fair values of the assets within the group are less than their total carrying values. However, since the fair values of the assets are higher than their carrying values ($65,000 vs. $55,000 respectively), there would be no impairment loss in this case. 66) Assume that Stanton had other Intangible assets with indefinite lives on its books at the date of

acquisition. How would the impairment test differ from that which would apply to its amortizable assets, if at all? A simple explanation is required. Please do not use any numbers to support your answer. Answer: Only the second part of the two-part impairment test would be required. Thus, an impairment loss would have to be recognized only if the fair value of the relevant asset group were less than their carrying values. 67) Assume that Stanton Inc.'s common shares had a fair market value of $51,000 on December 31,

2015. Assume also that the fair values of Stanton's identifiable net assets amounted to $36,000. Assuming that Rembrandt's fair values equaled its book values on the date of acquisition, has the consolidated Goodwill calculated above been impaired, and if so, by how much? Answer: Yes, goodwill has been impaired. Stanton's net assets had a carrying value of $81,000, $30,000 more than their fair values, which indicates that the second part of the two step impairment test for goodwill must be performed. This is essentially a recalculation of the consolidated goodwill, which in this case would amount to $15,000 ($51,000 - $36,000). Since consolidated goodwill is currently $20,000, an impairment loss of $5,000 will have to be recognized.

P Inc. owns 70% of Q Inc. During 2017, P Inc sold inventory to Q for $20,000. Half of this inventory remained in Q's warehouse at December 31, 2017 year end. On January 1, 2017, Q Inc had inventory in its warehouse which was purchased from P for $5,000. This inventory was sold to an outside party during 2017. Also during 2017, Q Inc sold inventory to P Inc. for $10,000. 50% of this inventory remained in P's warehouse at year end. Both companies are subject to a tax rate of 25%. The gross profit percentage on sales is 30% for both companies. P Inc. uses the cost method to account for its Investment in Q Inc. The inventories of both companies as at December 31, 2017 was all sold to outsiders during 2018. There were no intercompany transactions during 2018. 51) Prepare a schedule showing the realized and unrealized profits for P Inc. for 2017 and 2018. Your

schedule should include both pre-tax and after-tax amounts. Answer:

2017 Profits realized during 2017 Inventory Sales Profits Realized from Opening Inventory

52) Prepare a schedule showing the realized and unrealized profits for Q Inc. for 2017 and 2018. Your

schedule should include both pre-tax and after-tax amounts. Answer:

2017 Profits realized during 2017 Inventory Sales

Before Tax After Tax $1,500 $1,125

Unrealized Profits at Year-end (2017) Inventory Sales

$1,500

$1,125

2018 Profits realized during 2018 Inventory Sales

$1,500

$1,125

53) In your own words, explain what effect (if any) these intercompany transactions would have on

non-controlling interest. Answer: Non-controlling interest is only affected by upstream transactions - that is, sales from a subsidiary to the parent. Unrealized profits serve to decrease the non-controlling interest by the non-controlling interest's pro rata share of the after-tax upstream profits. Conversely, profits realized in a given year serve to increase the non-controlling interest by the non-controlling interest's pro rata share of the after-tax upstream profits. In 2017, there will be an unrealized profit in ending inventory from the upstream transactions; this will decrease the non-controlling interest in income (and the non-controlling interest account on the consolidated balance sheet) by 30% of the after-tax unrealized profit, i.e., 30% of $1,125 or $338. However, the unrealized upstream profits in inventory at the end of 2018 will have been realized during 2018, thus increasing the non-controlling interest in income and the non-controlling interest account by $338 (i.e. $1,125 × 30%). MAX Inc. purchased 80% of the voting shares of MIN Inc for $750,000 on January 1, 2015. On that date, MAX's common shares and retained earnings were valued at $300,000 and $150,000 respectively. Unless otherwise stated, assume that MAX uses the cost method to account for its investment in MIN Inc. MIN's fair values approximated its carrying values with the following exceptions: MIN's trademark had a fair value which was $80,000 higher than its carrying value. MIN's bonds payable had a fair value which was $30,000 higher than their carrying value. The trademark had a useful life of exactly twenty years remaining from the date of acquisition. The bonds payable mature on January 1, 2035. Both companies use straight line amortization exclusively.

SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.

Hot Inc. owns 60% of Cold Inc, which it purchased on January 1, 2018 for $540,000. On that date, Cold's retained earnings and common shares were valued at $100,000 and $250,000 respectively. Cold's book values approximated its fair values on that date, with the exception of the company's inventory and a patent identified on acquisition. The patent had an estimated useful life of 10 years from the date of acquisition. The inventory had a book value that was $10,000 in excess of its fair value, while the patent had a fair value of $50,000. Hot uses the equity method to account for its investment in Cold Inc. The inventory on hand on the acquisition date was sold to outside parties during the year. Hot Inc. sold depreciable assets to Cold on January 1, 2018, at a loss of $15,000. On January 1, 2019, Cold sold depreciable assets to Hot at a gain of $10,000. Both assets had a remaining useful life of 5 years on the date of their intercompany sale. During 2018, Cold sold inventory to Hot in the amount of $18,000. This inventory was sold to outside parties during 2019. During 2019, Hot sold inventory to Cold for $45,000. One third of this inventory was still in Cold's warehouse on December 31, 2019. All sales (both internal and external) are priced to provide the seller with a mark-up of 50% above cost. Cold's Net Income and Dividends for 2018 and 2019 are shown below.

Net Income Dividends

2018 $180,000 $ 20,000

2019 $200,000 $ 60,000

Parrot paid $460,000 for the common shares and $105,000 for the preference shares. The contributed surplus arose from the issue of the preferred shares at a price higher than their stated value. The preferred shares paid cumulative dividends of 5% of their stated value but dividends for 2017 and 2018 were unpaid. The shares were redeemable, at the option of the issuer, at a premium of 8%. The capital assets of Saltines had a remaining useful life of ten years at January 1, 2009. Any unallocated acquisition differential would be treated as goodwill, which is assessed annually for impairment. Parrot accounts for its interest in Saltines using the cost method and accounts for the non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements based on the fair value of the subsidiary, proportionate to the price paid for the controlling interest. Parrot's net income for 2019 was $300,000 and Parrot paid dividends of $150,000 on December 31, 2019. Saltines' net income for 2019 was $120,000 before a loss from discontinued operations of $60,000 (net of tax). 22

SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.

Compucat is a Canadian manufacturing company that produces inexpensive personal and laptop computers. The company has been generating progressively more of its sales from foreign markets. During 2016, the company started purchasing most of its components from a supplier in Germany. To deal with the uncertainty associated with foreign exchange fluctuations, all of Compucat's foreign currency denominated receivables and payables are hedged with contracts with the company's bank. Compucat's year-end is on December 31. The following transactions took place in 2016: On September 1, 2016, Compucat purchased components from its German supplier for 100,000 Euros. On that date AMC entered into a forward contract for 100,000 Euros at the 60 day forward rate of 1 Euro = CDN$1.50. The forward contract was designated as a fair value hedge of the amount payable to the German supplier. Compucat settled with the bank and paid its supplier in full on December 1, 2016. On December 1, 2016 Compucat also shipped a batch of laptop computers to an American client for US$250,000. The invoice required that Compucat receive its payment in full by January 31, 2016. On the date of the sale, the company entered into a forward contract for US$250,000 at the two-month forward rate of US$1 = CDN$1.25. This forward contract was designated to be a fair value hedge of the amount due from the American customer. The dates and exchange rates relevant to these transactions are shown below.

It has been used successfully to keep track of restricted resources and to convey information through financial statements about the restrictions placed on an organization's resources. Given that not-for-profit organizations often have a stewardship role over assets, fund accounting has facilitated the reporting, implementation and execution of this stewardship role. The Rift Valley Minor Hockey Association was established in the village of Rift Valley in early 2015. It was established to promote hockey in the village and surrounding territory. With the support of the provincial government, local business people and many individuals, the association raised sufficient funds to build an indoor hockey arena and also established an endowment fund to cover maintenance costs. The association is required by the provincial government to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The board has decided that its year end will be June 30 and that capital assets will be capitalized and amortized over their expected useful lives. They have decided not to use the restricted fund method of accounting but will account for restricted donations using the deferred contribution method of accounting. The first set of financial statements will cover the eighteen month period from the establishment of the association to June 30, 2016. 18

Additional information: 1. The new arena was completed and officially opened on Canada Day (July 1) of 2015. It has an estimated forty year life with no residual value. 2. A long-term resident of Rift Valley donated the land upon which the arena was constructed. The land was valued at $120,000 and the association issued a receipt in that amount. Another resident donated ice-making and ice-cleaning equipment to the association. The equipment has an estimated useful life of six years and no residual value and was estimated to have a value of $66,000 when donated. 3. The endowment contribution was received at the opening celebration and was invested for one year at 5% interest. The terms of the endowment were that the income earned from its investment could be used only for maintenance costs for the arena. $3,000 of such costs were incurred and paid for in May 2016. (The other $1,000 in interest income was earned on the balances in the bank account.) 4. The government had agreed to provide funding of $10,000 per month for the eight months of the minor hockey season (September 1 to April 30 each year). The amount was payable at $7,500 per month during the season and the final $20,000 upon submission of the annual financial statements to the government. 19


5. Registration fees for minor hockey players cover the season from September to April. $10,000 of the fees received were payments in advance for the 2016-2017 season. 6. An inventory count was taken at the concession stand at the end of June 2016 and the inventory on hand was valued at $6,000 (lower of cost or realizable value). The concession stand sold snacks and drinks during minor hockey games and other events. 7. At June 30, 2016, unpaid invoices were $3,000 for concession purchases, $2,000 for hockey clinics held and $1,000 for miscellaneous other costs. 56) Prepare a statement of operations for the Rift Valley Minor Hockey Association for the eighteen

On January 1, 2016, some residents of the community of Kiterup, B.C., formed the Kiterup Winter Sports Association (KWSA) which was organized as a not-for-profit organization which has as its purposes encouraging participation in outdoor winter sports. In its first year, the board decided to restrict its activities to ice skating and skiing. Initial funding was provided by a wealthy individual who made an endowment contribution of $200,000 which was invested in bonds and generated income during the year of $8,000. The donor placed no restrictions on the use of the income produced by the investment of the endowment contribution which were to be divided evenly 21


between all programs undertaken by the Association. During the year donations of $750,000 were received and a further $150,000 of pledges was outstanding of which the board estimated $130,000 would be collected. It was agreed that such donations, all of which were unrestricted, would be divided evenly between the skating and skiing programs. As a practical matter, donations not yet received at year-end were considered to be restricted for use in the following year. A special fund drive was undertaken to raise money to provide skates to needy youngsters and skiing equipment to needy senior citizens. During the year $25,000 was received in contributions for skates and $15,000 for contributions towards purchasing skis. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the organization incurred the following costs.

Wages and salaries Ice skates Skiing equipment Other equipment and supplies Transportation Rent Other expenses

Ice Skating Program $ 193,000 8,000 --58,000 43,000 15,000 35,000 $352,000

Skiing Program $ 81,000 --9,000 75,000 35,000 15,000 39,000 $254,000

At December 31, 2016, the only outstanding payables were for $30,000 relating to the skiing program (the costs are included in the table above). The ice skates and skiing equipment were paid for out of the funds raised by the special fund drive and were expensed as acquired. KWSA does not use fund accounting but uses the deferred contribution method to account for restricted donations and uses programmatic reporting to report the results of its activities. 58) Prepare journal entries to record the transactions of the Kiterup Winter Sports Association for the
