19
Q
What happens if the items are long-lived assets?

A
1) Reported at lower of their carrying amoutns or fair values less costs to sell
2) Gain or loss on disposal of discontinued operations is the actual gain or loss if disposal occurs in the same period that the component meets the criteria to be classified as “held for sale”
22
Q
What if the criteria for held for sale is met in a period before it is disposed of?
A
1) The amount of the loss (if applicable) on disposal is an estimated loss resulting from the write-down of the group of assets to their estimated fair values
2) Estimated gains cannot be initially recognized
23
Q

A
Estimated gains can be recognized based on new information but are limited to the losses previously recognized
24
Q
Can held for sale items be written up?
A
Yes, but not above their carrying amounts when they meet the criteria as being held for sale
25
How are discontinued operations handled in a comparative income statement?
1) Income statement presented for each previous year must be adjusted retroactively to enhance comparability with the current year's income statement
2) Revenues, COGS, operating expenses (including income taxes) for the discontinued component are removed from the revenues, cost of goods sold, and operating expenses of continuing operations and are netted into one figure, that is "Income (loss) from discontinued operations"
26
What is comprehensive income?
1) Sum of net earnings (loss) and other comprehensive income
2) It requires disclosure of changes during a period of the following: unrealized gains and losses on available for sale investments and foreign currency items, including any reclassification adjustments and any adjustments necessary to recognize the funding status of pension plans or other postemployment benefits
27
What is one way of presenting comprehensive income?
1) At the bottom of income statement, continue from net income to arrive at OCI
2) Total amount for net income and its components
3) total amount for OCI and its components
4) total comprehensive income
28
What is another way of presenting comprehensive income?
1) In a separate statement that may start with net income and that directly follows the statement of income
2) Net income and its components in the statement of net income
3) Comprehensive and its components along with total comprehensive income
29
How is comprehensive income shown on the balance sheet?
1) Presented separately from retained earnings and APIC
2) changes in the balance are to be presented in the note sto the FS or on the face of the FS
3) each component of OCI will be presented separately and reclassifications shall be presented separately
30
How are reclassification adjustments to comprehensive income recorded?
1) As unrealized gains (losses) recorded and reported in OCI for the current or prior periods are later realized, they are recognized and reported in net income
2) To avoid double counting, it is necessary to reverse the unrealized amounts that have been recognized
3) Entity must separately disclose information about net income and reclassification out of other comprehensive income effects either on the face of the financial statements containing net income or separately in the notes
4) For items not required to be reclassified in entirety to net income, cross-reference to related disclosures is required
31
Where is OCI shown on the balance sheet?
1) In the stockholder's equity
2) when entity has components of OCI, the total of these is closed to the b/s account accumulated OCI, not retained earnings

2) accounting principles used when alternatives exist
3) principles peculiar to a particular industry
4) unusual or innovative applications of accounting principles
35
Subsequent events
After balance sheet date but before statements are issued or available to be issued
36
Available to be issued
Form and format that is complete and complies with GAAP and all necessary approvals for issuance have been obtained
37
Subsequent events procedure SEC filer or conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities traded publicly
Evaluate events through date FS are issued, all others evaluate through date FS are available to be issued
38
Recognized sub event
1) Condition existed at the BS date and therefore should be recognized
2) Example: estimate for warranty liability, estimate of contingent liability due to a lawsuit, or an estimate of allowance for uncollectible accounts
3) If settled after BS date but before issuance, settlement amounts should be used as the liability in the balance sheet
39
Nonrecognized sub event
1) Condition did not exist as of the BS date but after
2) Event not recognized in these cases
3) But if not disclosing means misleading fs, then FN disclosure must be made with nature of event and estimate of impact
40
Does the subevent date need to be disclosed?
1) No for SEC filer
| 2) Yes for non-SEC filer- disclose the date and whether date is when FS are available to be issued or issued
41
Fair value measurements
Required for assets and liabilities like investments, derivatives, asset impairments, asset retirements obligations, goodwill, business combinations, troubled debt restructuring
42
How to apply fair value measurement
1) Identify asset or liability to be measured
2) Determine the principle or most advantageous market
3) Determine the valuation premise
4) Determine the appropriate valuation technique (market, income, or cost approach)
5) Obtain inputs for valuation (level 1, 2, 3)
6) Calculate the FV
43
Fair value
The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) under current market conditions
44
Orderly transaction
Transaction that allows for normal marketing activities that are usual and customory- it is not a forced transaction or sale
45
Principal market
1) Fair value assumption that if principle market exists or if not, the most advantageous market
2) market in which the greatest volume and level of activity occurs
46
Most advantageous market
Maximizes price received for asset or minimizes amountpaid to transfer the liability
47
Characteristics of principal or most advantageous market
1) Be independent of the reporting entity (not related parties)
2) Be knowledgeable
3) Able to transact
4) Willing to transact (motivated but not compelled)
48
Price in market?.
Will not be adjusted for transaction costs, such as costs to sell
49
Cost to sell?
is used to determine which market is the most advantageous. However, selling costs or brokerage fees are not used when calculating fair value
50
If location is a characteristic of the asset or liability?
price is adjusted for costs necessary to transport the asset or liability to the market
51
Highest and best use
1) Assumed by FV measurement
2) Maximize the value of the asset or group of assets
3) Use of asset must be physically possible, legally permissible, and financially feasible at the measurement date
4) Not relevant for financial assets and liabilities since they do not have alternative uses and their FV do not depend upon their use within a group.
52
Highest and best use is used to measure FV as follows:
1) Using asset that provides maximum value with other assets as a group. The fair value of the asset is the price that would be received to sell the asset assuming the asset is used with other assets as a group
2) If asset provides maximum value by itself, the FV of the asset is the price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the asset stand-alone
53
What are the valuation methods to measure fair value?
Market Approach
Income Approach
Cost Approach
54
Market Approach
Prices and relevant information from market transactions for identical or comparable assets or liabilities
55
Income approach
Converts future amoutns to a single current (discounted) amount
56
Cost approach
Relies on current replacement cost to replace the asset with a comparable asset, adjusted for obsolescence
57
Fair value disclosure
If valuation technique or approach is changed, it is treated as a change in accounting estimate and treated on a prospective basis.
The disclosure provisions for a change in accounting estimate are not required for revisions or changes to valuation techniques used in FV measurements
58
Fair value hierarchy
Level 1, 2 and 3
59
Level 1
1) quoted prices (unadjusted prices) from active markets for identical assets or liablities
2) most reliable evidence of FV and should be used without adjustment whenever possible
3) FV in level 1 is quoted price times quantity held and is not adjusted for the quantity of shares (blockage factor) held
60
Level 2
1) directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices of level 1
2) examples include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are in markets where few transactions occur, prices are not current or prices vary substantively over time
3) also include observable inputs like yield curves, bank prime rates, interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit rsisk, and default rates.
61
Level 3
1) unobservable inputs
2) may only be used if other levels are not available (i.e. there is little market activity)
3) may reflect reporting entity's own assumptions about the market and are based on the best info possible
4) examples: pricing 3 year option using historical volatility on shares, valuing ARO using expected CF estimated by company, or valuing a reporting unit using a firm's forcecast for cf or earnings
62
Financial asset
cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that conveys a right to receive cash or other finacnial instrument or to exchange financial instruments on favorable terms
63
Financial liability
contract that imposes an obligation to deliver cash or other financial instrument
64
For which financial assets can FV be applied?
All including available for sale securities, held to maturity, and equity method investments
65
For which financial liabilities can FV be applied?
certain liabilities, firm commitments that involve financial instruments, written loan commitments, nonfinancial insurance contracts that can be settled by paying a third party, warranties that can be settled by paying a third party, and a host financial instrument that is an embedded nonfinancial derivative instrument separated from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument.
66
FV does not apply to
Consolidations, pensions, share-based payments, stock options, other postemployment benefits (OPEB), exit or disposal activities, leases, or finacnial instruments that are a component of equity.
67
When can the company choose to use FV?
1) The date an eligible item is first recognized
2) the date the entity enters into a firm commitment
3) the date financial assets cease to qualify for fair value treatment due to specialized accounting rules
68
For companies using equity method of accounting
Measure FV on the date the percentage of ownership changes and the entity is no longer required to consolidate
69
for debt modifications
The date the debt is modified- once FV is selected, it is irrevocable
70
FV on instrument by instrument basis
This is allowable however if it is selected, it must be applied to the entire instrument and not a portion
71
What happens to unrealized gains and losses?
Reported in the earnings for the period - in the income statement rather than OCI
72
If financial assets or liabilities are exposed to market and credit risks of counterparties
Can apply FV to the net position if following conditions are met:
1) Group is managed on basis of net exposure
2) information provided on net basis
3) reporting entity measures group at fair value
73
FV disclosure for financial asset and liabilities
Two methods are allowed
1) Present aggregate FV and non-FV amounts in same line with amounts measured at FV in parenthesis

74
FV disclosure for recurring assets and liabilities
1) FV at end of reporting date
2) level used and segregated (1, 2, 3)
3) amount of transfers between levels and reason for transfer along with transfer policy, transfers into and out of each level are disclosed separately
4) for level 2 and level 3, a decription of the valuation techniques or inputs used- if there is a change in techniques used- that must be disclosed
5) Level 3- a reconciliation of beginning and ending balance should be shown- including gains and losses, purchases, sales, issues, settlements (shown separately), transfers in and out (shown separately) along with transfer policy
6) description of nonfinancial assets with a current use differing from highest and best use
75
FV disclosure for nonrecurring assets and liabilities
Disclosed at year-end and interim

2) levels
3) 2 or 3- the valuation technique and inputs used
4) level 3- description of vlauation processes
5) description of nonfinancial assets with current use differing from highest and best use
76
Development stage enterprise accounting
1) Follow GAAP
2) only extra disclosure is that cumulative amounts from inception of losses, revenues, expenses, and cash flows should be shown in IS and CF.
3) stockholder's equity section in BS should include cumulative net losses "deficit accumulated during development change"
4) statement should be identified as those of a development stage enterprise
77
Constant dollar accounting
1) method of reporting fs elements in dollars which have the same purchasing power.
2) accounting in units of current purchasing power
3) purchasing power indicates the ability of a dollar to command goods and services
4) requires classification of bs items as either monetary or nononetary
78
monetary items
1) amounts fixed by statute or contract (already stated in dollar terms- no need to be restated)
2) cash, account and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, bonds payable
79
Nonmonetary items
1) require restatement
| 2) inventory, PPE, and unearned service revenue
80
CPI
historical cost (nominal dollars) x (price level adjusting to/price level adjusting from) = restated historical cost (constant dollar)
81
Holding of a nonmonetary asset such as land need not result in a loss of purchasing power because
the value of that land can "flow" within the price level (hence, the need for restatement).
82
If a monetary asset like cash is held during period of inflation with no interest
purchasing power is lost b/c cash will purchase less goods and services at YE than at beginning- this is called purchasing power loss
83
Monetary liability during inflation
More monetary liabilities than monetary assets, a purchasing power gain would result, since
84
Current cost accounting
valuing everything at current cost at BS date or at date of their use or sale; discards historical cost
85
Current cost income from continuing operations
sales revenue less expenses on a current cost basis
realized holding gains (different between current cost and historical cost of assets consumed) are then added to arrive at realized income, which will always be equal to historical cost less net income
unrealized holding gains (increases in the current cost of assets held throughout the year) are included tor esult in current cost net income
86
What is the same between historical and current cost?
Sales and some expense (salaries, rent etc)
87
When expense represents the use or consumption of an asset whose current cost has changed since its acquisition
must be expressed at current cost of the asset when used
88
Do holding gains reflect changes in general purchasing power?
No, holding gains are not reported net of general inflation when the reporting model is current cost/nominal dollar
89
Current cost/constant dollars
relationship measured is current cost but the measurement unit is restated dollars. Changes in both the general and specific price levels are separately recorded
90

2) contingencies
3) disclose of factors causing estimate to be sensitive to change is encouraged but not required
4) materiality is measured by the effect that using a different estimate would have on the financial statements
95
