Q

INITIAL FRANCHISE FEE

A

Initial franchise fee is recorded as an intangible asset on the balance sheet and amortized over the useful life.
Amortization will be the PV of the amount paid divided by useful life ((down payment plus PV of remaining payments)/useful life)
-initially the fee is capitalized and a deferral of revenue by crediting unearned franchise fee revenue
-recognize revenue when SUBSTANTIALLY PERFORMED- generally first day of operations

Q

COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

A
  1. CSDC to be SOLD, LEASED, OR LICENSED should be expensed until TECHNOLOGICAL FEASIBILITY IS MET. Then capitalize after technological feasibility is met. When finally ready for sale, amortize over greater of two amortization methods (see pg F2-20)
  2. CSDC for INTERNAL USE ONLY- expense costs b4 PRELIMINARY PROJECT state and then capitalize after preliminary project state. Amortize over straight line when basically ready for use
    - costs incurred for training and maintenance should also b expensed
    - planning, coding, designing, and testing incurred be4 technological feasibility should be expensed and after should capitalized

Q

IMPAIRMENT FOR INTANGIBLES (NOT GOODWILL)

A
  1. check at least annually
  2. FINITE LIFE: use 2 step approach
    - CV>undiscounted cash flows
    - CV>FV(or discounted cash flows)
  3. INDEFINITE LIFE: use 1 step approach
    - use step 2: CV> FV(or discounted cash flows)
  4. For IFRS only use step 2: CV>FV(or discounted cash flows)
  5. If asset HELD FOR USE, use steps above. If HELD FOR DISPOSAL only difference is: your total impairment loss is FV - CV + cost of disposal.
    - Impairment reported in I of IDEA. Income from continuing operations
    - undiscounted cash flows = net future cash flows
    - discounted cash flows = PV of net cash flows

Q

IMPAIRMENT FOR GOODWILL

A

Goodwill impairment calculated at a reporting level unit

  1. To determine if there is a goodwill impairment (step 1) determine if the BV of the reporting unit (including goodwill) is greater than the FV of the reporting unit (including goodwill)
  2. Next determine the “Goodwill Implied FV” which is the difference between the FV of the reporting asset from step 1 (including goodwill) with the identifiable FV of all assets and liabilities (this is essentially the FV of all identifiable net assets not including GW)
  3. Lastly the difference between the “goodwill implied value” minus the goodwill BV is the impairment loss on goodwill.
    d. loss due to impairment
    c. Goodwill
