    • 2. Available for sale - reported at FV on OCI
    • 3. Held to Maturity - reported at amortized cost/carrying amount

    *FV - Cost = Unrealized gain/loss

    • -Under US GAAP, if the decline in FV is other than temporary (permanent), the cost basis is written down to FV as the new cost basis and amount of write down is recognized as a realized loss and included in I/S!
    • -Under IFRS, foreign exchange gains & losses are reported on I/S
  30. Cost Method
    • 1. <20%/does not exercise significant influence
    • 2. DO NOT CONSOLIDATE
    • 3. If company owns <20% but exercises significant influence, then equity method can be used.
    • 4. Investment in Investee - J/E account booked for FV - Cost including legal fees and marketable securities.

    • A - Add: investor's share of investee earning (like bank interest)
    • S - Subtract: investor's share of investee's dividends (like bank withdrawals)
    • E - ending balance

    • Goodwill - not impaired or amortized
    • FV x % owned - BV x % owned=Goodwill
  33. Consolidated F/S
    • 1. Control (over 50%)
    • 2. Must consolidate unless legal reorganization or in bankruptcy
  34. Acquisition method
    • 1. 100% of net assets acquired are recorded at FV with any unallocated balance remaining creating goodwill
    • 2. When companies are consolidated, the subsidiary's entire equity (CS, APIC, RE) is eliminated (CAR IN BIG)
    • 3. FV = Acquisition price = Investment in subsidiary

    • To find goodwill, you use the following:
    • Acquisition price of sub/percentage owned
    • -BV of asset
    • -Adj to FV
    • -Adj to FV of intangibles/R&D, PPE
    • =Goodwill (GAAP)

    • Acquisition Price
    • -(FV of assets - liabilities) x percentage owned
    • =Partial Goodwill (IFRS)

  35. CAR IN BIG
    • Acquiring corp should adjust during consolidation:
    • 1. CAR - CS, APIC, & RE of subsidiary are eliminated.
    • 2. I - Investment in subsidiary is eliminated (all expensed-legal fees, bond issue, stock reg)
    • 3. N - Noncontrolling interest is created (if not 100% owned)
    • 4. B - B/S of sub is adjusted to FV - 100% of assets and liabilities are adjusted to FV
    • 5. I - Identifiable intangible assets of the sub are recorded at their FV
    • 6. G - Goodwill is required if there is an excess of FV of sub over FV of sub's net assets

    • DR: CAR (assets - liabilities)
    • CR: I (expenses)
    • CR: N (Acq Price/Percentage owned=FV of sub) x noncontrolling interest %)
    • DR: B (adjust cost to FV)
    • DR: I (adjust FV of Intangible assets)
    • DR/CR: G - Goodwill/Gain
  36. Intercompany Transactions
    • -eliminate 100% of intercompany transactions
    • -DO NOT eliminate if not consolidated
  37. Factoring of A/R
    • 1. Without recourse (true sale) - sale is final and assignee assumes the risk of any losses on collections. 
    • 2. With recourse (factor has an option to resell any uncollectible receivables back to seller. Can be a sale OR a loan.
  38. Double declining balance method
    Depreciation exp = 2 x 1/N x (Cost - Acc Dep)

    • Asset subject to rapid obsolescence
    • Ignore Salvage Value!
  39. Sum of the Digits method
    • 1. Cost - SV=Depreciable base
    • 2. Find sum of the years = [Nx(N+1)]/2

    • Example:
    • 1+2+3+4= 10

    1st Yr = 4/10 x 10,000=4000

    For CV, use purchase cost - dep (no SV)
  40. Units of Production Method
    Depreciation to the estimated production capability of an asset

    • 1. Cost-SV/Estimated Units or hours = Rate for each unit
    • 2. Rate per unit x # of units = Dep expense
  41. Depletion
    Allocation of cost of wasting natural resources such as oil, gas, timber, and minerals to the production process.

    • 1. Calculate depletion base
    • Cost of land
    • +Development costs
    • +Restoration
    • -Residual value
    • =Depletion base

    • 2. Calculate depletion for Yr 1
    • Unit depletion x Units extracted

    • 3. Calculate COGS depletion
    • Unit depletion x Units sold
  42. FOB
    Free on Board - requires the seller to deliver the goods to the location indicated as FOB at the seller's expense.

    • Title passes from seller to buyer when:
    • 1. FOB shipping point - when seller delivers the goods to a common carrier. Buyer's inventory "freight in" added to cost of inventory and pays for shipping cost.
    • 2. FOB destination - title passes to the buyer when buyer receives the goods from common carrier. Seller's inventory "freight out" expense
  43. Goods & Materials included in inventory
    • 1. If seller ships wrong goods, title reverts to seller upon rejection by the buyer.
    • 2. If goods are sold but buyer has right to return the goods, then goods should be in seller's inventory. If amount can be estimated, transaction will have an allowance for estimated returns.
  44. Consigned goods
    • 1. Seller (consignor) delivers goods to an agent (consignee) to hold and sell on the consignor's behalf
    • 2.Belongs to consignor (seller) because title and risk of loss is retained by consignor
    • 3. Inventory cost includes shipping to consignee
  45. Lower Cost of Market
    • 1. Utility of goods is no longer as great as their cost so a departure from cost basis principle is required.
    • 2. This shows a lower ending inventory (conservatism) in period occurred (matching).

    • US GAAP
    • Compare: Cost with the median of the 3:
    • 1. Current replacement cost
    • 2. NRV = Price - costs to complete/dispose (Market ceiling)
    • 3. NRV - normal profit margin (Market floor)
    • Then: select the lower cost of the two

    • IFRS
    • Compare cost with:
    • 1. NRV
    • Then: select the lower cost of the two
  46. Periodic vs Perpetual Inventory
    • 1. Periodic inventory-quantity of inventory determined by physical count, usually annually. Therefore, units of inv and costs are counted at end of accounting period.
    • 2. Perpetual inventory - inventory record for each item of inventory is updated for each purchase and sale as they occur. Keeps a running total of inventory balances.

    • Periodic method
    • Beg Inv
    • +Purchases
    • =COGS available for sale
    • +Freight in
    • +Transportation
    • -Ending Inv (physical count)
    • =COGS
  47. FIFO
    • 1. Ending inventory is the same whether periodic or perpetual system is used.
    • 2. In period of rising prices, FIFO results in the highest ending inventory, the lowest COGS, and highest NI
    • 3. Ending inventory includes most recently incurred costs=replacement cost
  48. Weighted Avg Method (inventory)
    • 1. Used for periodic inventory system and homogeneous products
    • 2. At the end of period, average cost of each item in inventory would be the weighted avg of the costs of all items in inventory 

    • Total cost of inventory available
    • Total number of units available for sale
  49. LIFO
    LIFO = Lowest

    • 1. Not permitted under IFRS
    • 2. Better matches expense against revenue and eliminates holding gains and reduces NI during inflation.
    • 3. In period of rising prices, LIFO results in the lowest ending inventory, the highest COGS, and lowest NI
  50. Dollar value LIFO
    Inventory is measured in dollars and adjusted for changing price levels

    • 1. Price index=EI at current yr/EI at base yr
    • 2. Price index x base year layer
    • 3. Then add to end inventory
  51. Valuation of Fixed Assets (IFRS)
    1. Cost Model

    Historical cost - Acc Dep - Impairment

    • 2. Revaluation Model (class of fixed assets)
    •  
    • FV at revaluation date-Subsequent acc dep-subsequent impairment

    • Revaluation loss (FV<CV) report on I/S
    • Revaluation gain (FV>CV) - report on OCI
  52. Improvements & Replacements (FA)
    • 1. increase the usefulness & life of assets
    • 2. If carrying value of old asset is known, remove it and recognize any gain or loss. Capitalize the cost of the improvement.
    • 3. If carrying value of old asset is unknown, and the asset's life is extended,

    • DR Acc dep
    • CR Cash/AP

    Expense ordinary repairs

    Interest costs added to cost of land improvement
  54. Investment Property (IFRS)
    • 1. Land or buildings held by entity under a finance/capital lease to earn rentals or for capital appreciation
    • 2. Capitalize parts & servicing of property
    • 3. Expense legal fees, repairs, prop tax, other taxes.
    • 4. DO NOT depreciate using FV model, just use FV
  55. Capitalization of Interest Costs
    • 1. Construction period interest-should be capitalized using weighted avg as part of the cost of producing FA, such as:
    • -Buildings, machinery, or land improvements
    • -Fixed assets for sale or lease 
    • -Land improvements

    DO NOT capitalize on interest cost

    • Rule 1: ONLY capitalize on money actually spent, not on total amount owed.
    • Rule 2: The amount of capitalized interest is lower of actual interest cost incurred OR computed capitalized interest (avoidable interest)

    • Capitalization of interest period begins when:
    • 1. expenditures have been made
    • 2. activities to get asset ready for intended use are in progress
    • 3. interest cost is being incurred
    • Ends when asset is substantially complete and ready for use!
  56. Fixed Asset Impairment
    • US GAAP
    • 1. Test for Recoverability 

    If sum of undiscounted expected future cash flows < carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized.

    2. If there is an impairment loss, then:

    • FV or PV future net cash flows
    • -Net carrying value
    • =Impairment loss (for assets held for use)
    • +Cost of disposal
    • =Total impairment loss (assets held for disposal)

    • IFRS
    • 1. Pick the greater of value in use (PVFCF or net assets) and the FV-costs to sell = recoverable amount
    • 2. Find impairment loss:

    • Recoverable amount
    • -Carrying Value
    • =Impairment loss
  57. Allowance for doubtful accounts
    1. When written off (has no effect on NI):

    • DR: Allowance for doubtful accounts (decrease)
    • CR: A/R (decrease)

    • 2. When restored:
    • DR: A/R (increase)
    • CR: Allowance for doubtful accounts (increase)

    • 3. To record cash:
    • DR: Cash
    • CR: A/R decrease)
  58. ABO vs PBO
    • 1. Accumulated Benefit Obligation - uses current and past compensation levels. Includes no assumption about future salaries
    • 2. Projected Benefit Obligation - only uses an assumption as to future compensation levels

    • Calculate PBO
    • Beginning PBO
    • +Service Cost
    • +Interest cost
    • +Prior Service cost from current period plan
    • +Actuarial losses incurred in the period

    • 2. Interest cost - increase in the PBO due to the passage of time. 
    • 3. Prior service cost - any cost before pension plan was created or increase in benefits. Unamortized is in AOCI.
    • 4. Actuarial Gains/Losses - gains decrease PBO and losses increase it
    • 5. Benefit payments - made to pension plan participants after retirement.

    Amortized of prior service cost=

    • Beg unrecognized prior service cost
    • Avg remaining service life

    • -10% of beg of yr PBO or market value, whichever is greater
    • Excess 
    • divide by: average remaining service life
    • Amortization of unrecognized gain or loss
  63. Permanent vs Temporary Differences
    • Permanent differences
    • 1. Affect current (taxable income)
    • 2. No deferred tax = only impacts "current" taxes.

    • 1. Operating leases - uses the leased asset and pays periodic rent for such use. There is no transfer of ownership, or of any risk or benefit of ownership.
    • 2. Lease rent exp - records rent over the life of lease term
    • 3. Lease bonus - amortized over the life of lease
    • 4. Leasehold improvements - permanently affixed to the property and reverts back to the lessor at end of lease. Useful life is the LESSER of lease life/asset life
    • 5. Refundable deposit - asset until refunded
    • 6. Free or Reduced rent - divide reduced rent by number of years.
  69. Lessor accounting
    • 1. Depreciation is over the asset's useful life
    • 2. Nonrefundable security deposit - unearned revenue until lessor is earned

    • -Sales type lease - results in a profit or loss to the lessor.
    • -Direct financing lease - no profit or loss.
  71. OWNS FACS

    • 2. U - Uncertainties do not exist regarding any unreimbursable costs to be incurred by the lessor
    • 3. C - Collectability of the lease payments is reasonably predictable.
  73. Lessee Capital (Finance) Lease calculation
    • Recording the lease
    • 1. Use the LESSER of FV of asset at inception of lease or cost (PV of minimum lease payments)

    • 3. Bargain Purchase option - PV of payment required or PV of minimum lease payments
    • 4. Guaranteed Residual value - PV of any guaranteed residual value or PV of any minimum lease payments
    • 5. Subtract executory cost - insurance, tax, maintenance. If paid by lessor, a portion is payment is excluded from lease payments.
    • 6. Subtract optional buyout

    • When calculating interest rate:
    • 1. Use LESSER of rate implicit in elease or lessee's incremental borrowing rate

    Cost+residual+BPO-executory costs x discount rate.
  74. Depreciation of leased assets
    • 1.Capitalized leased assets - SV = Dep basis
    • 2. Dep basis/period of benefit = Dep expense

    • Period of benefit
    • 1. OW - the estimated life of the asset is used if the lessee takes ownership of leased asset or if there is a bargain purchase option. Lessee keeps asset at end of lease so it will depreciate over the useful life
    • 2. NS - lessee uses lease term if lessee does not take ownership of asset  or if there is not a bargain purchase option. Lessor gets asset back so lessee will depreciate the asset over the lease term
