Q

Factoring Receivables

A

Factoring receivables without recourse is a sales transaction. Factoring without recourse transfers the risk of uncollectible accounts to the buyer. ASC 310-10-05-6

Factoring receivables is the process by which a company converts its receivables to cash by assigning them to a factor, either with or without recourse.

Q

Pledging Receivables

A

Pledging receivables is the process of obtaining a loan using the receivables as collateral.

When a company pledges (assigns) receivables in return for a loan, the assigning company (Milton in this example) will retain title to the receivables and will use the proceeds collected from the receivables to repay the loan.

Q

If equity is issued to pay for short term debt

A

The credit is to long-term liability rather than common stock because Footnote 2 of SFAS No 6, Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected to Be Refinanced, states “if equity securities have been issued [after the balance sheet date but before the balance sheet is issued], the short-term obligation, although excluded from current liabilities, shall not be included in owners’ equity.”

Q

Cash and Cash Equivalents

A

Cash is defined as actual unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are defined as short-term, liquid investments that are so near maturity (original maturity date was within three months of the purchase date) that the risk of changes in the value because of interest rate changes is insignificant.

Q

factoring

A

Factoring involves a company converting its receivables into cash by assigning them to a “factor” either with or without recourse. Aloe factored its receivables without recourse, meaning the sale is final and the factor assumes the risk of any losses.
Of the $80,000 factored, 10% was retained by the factor ($80,000 x 10% = $8,000) and another 5% for commission is taken off ($80,000 x 5% = $4,000) to get to cash received of $68,000 ($80,000 - $8,000 - $4,000).

Q

Advanced payment of taxes

A

Paying the equivalent of three months of sales taxes on projected retail sales in satisfaction of the licensing requirement that is fully refundable after five years is a noncurrent asset. Because the transaction is expected to result in the realization of cash in the future, the payment is an asset. It is a noncurrent asset because the cash will be realized at a time beyond the normal operating cycle or one year.

Q

Moving average

A

Usnder the moving-average method, a new weighted average cost is computed after each purchase, and issues are priced at the latest weighted-average cost.

Think about it logically you have a purchase cost so the weighted average will be calculated after it

Q

periodic vs perpetual

A

With a periodic inventory system, the quantity of inventory is determined only by physical count, usually at least annually. Therefore, units of inventory and the associated costs are counted and valued at the end of the accounting period and the cost of inventory sold and inventory shortages cannot be easily distinguished. With a perpetual inventory system, the inventory record for each item of inventory is updated for each purchase and each sale as they occur. The actual cost of goods sold is determined and recorded with each sale. At year end, inventory per the perpetual records can be compared to actual inventory per a physical count and inventory shortages can be identified.

Q

rising prices

A

In a periodic inventory system, the weighted-average method results in net income that is lower than FIFO net income and higher than LIFO net income when prices are rising.

In a perpetual inventory system, the moving-average method results in net income that is lower than FIFO net income and higher than LIFO net income when prices are rising.

33
Q

Allocating shipping costs between ending inventory and cogs

A

Calculate cogs or EI based on formula. Calculate the ratio of cogs and EI based on goods available for sale. apply the ratio to the shipping costs

34
Q

Loss on purchase committment

A

The loss on the purchase commitment is recognized on the balance sheet as a liability, not as a valuation account offsetting inventory.

When the current market value of the inventory is less than the fixed purchase price in a purchase commitment, the loss must be recognized at the time of the decline in price, a liability must be recognized on the balance sheet and a description of the losses must be described in the footnotes.

35
Q

inventory method prohibited

A

IFRS state that the inventory accounting method used by an entity should match the actual flow of goods. LIFO rarely reflects the actual flow of goods and is therefore prohibited under IFRS.

36
Q

profit margin

A

Profit margin is calculated based on selling price . Note this when subtracting from NRV

37
Q

important note about EI,COGS and EI

A

An understatement of ending inventory results in an overstatement of cost of goods sold, which results in an understatement of net income and retained earnings.Think it all the way through

39
Q

Consignment

A

While an agent (consignee) will hold and sell goods on behalf of the consignor, until the inventory is sold, the seller (consignor) will include in his/her inventory because title and risk of loss are retained by the consignor.

40
Q

41
Q

LCM

A

remember when given different products calculate lcm on each one and than sum it

42
Q

NRV

A

Sales value - cost to complete

Also unfinished inventory at cost is treated as cost even though logically you woud think that cost plus cost to complete is cost

43
Q

rev rec with right of return

A

Clothes Co. cannot book revenue at the time of sale because it cannot reasonably estimate returns. Because Link is given 12 months to return any clothing for a refund, once the 12-month period has passed, Clothes can then recognize revenue because any future returns will result in exchanges rather than refunds.

44
Q

land

A

raze the building means to remove a building to make the land ready for us

Excavate means to make land hollow for building so its a building cost

45
Q

Interest capitalization : the smaller of total interest incurred and avoidable interest

A

Total interest incurred equals the interest on the specific construction debt ($50,000) plus interest on other borrowing ($20,000) for a total of $70,000. Avoidable interest equals the interest on the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures ($40,000). Capitalized interest equals the smaller of the total interest incurred or the avoidable interest. Thus, capitalized interest equals $40,000. SFAS 34 para. 12-15

46
Q

capitalized costs

A

Since the carrying value of the damaged portion of the building is known and is uninsured, the component method is used and a loss in the amount of the carrying value of the damaged portion of the building must be recognized. The refurbishing costs create a new asset (the reconstructed building) and must be capitalized.

47
Q

interest costs

fixed asset- capitalize during construction, expense post

inventory expense all

A

Rule: interest costs incurred during the construction period of machinery to be used by a firm as a fixed asset, should be capitalized as part of the historic cost of acquiring the fixed asset. Interest costs on the fixed asset subsequent to the construction period as well as all interest costs on the routine manufacture of machinery for sale to customers (inventory) should be expensed in the income statement for the period incurred.

48
Q

Cost of equipment

A

The cost of equipment includes all expenditures related directly to the acquisition or construction including invoice price less cash discounts and other discounts, freight-in, installation charges and sales and Federal Excise Taxes. Cost includes all costs necessary to get the asset to its proper place, at the intended time and in condition for its intended use.

49
Q

Leasehold improvements

A

Leasehold improvements are capitalized and then amortized over the lesser of the life of the improvements or the remaining term of the lease (in this question, the amortization period is the lesser of 15 or 20). The leasehold improvement costs should thus be expensed over a period of 15 years. This rule makes sense because the party making the leasehold improvements will benefit from the improvements for either the life of the improvements or the term of the lease if the term of the lease is shorter than the life of the improvements (in which case, somebody else will benefit from the improvements for the remaining life of the improvements).

50
Q

Cost of equipment

A

he amount capitalized as the cost of the equipment should include all amounts necessary to purchase the equipment, bring the equipment to the location and condition as necessary for its intended use. These costs will include the cash paid for the down payment, the present value of the note payable, the shipping charges, and the installation charges:

51
Q

Revaluation gain

A

When the buildings were revalued in Year 1, the $200,000 revaluation gain was booked to other comprehensive income as a revaluation surplus. Under IFRS, if a revalued asset becomes impaired, the impairment is recorded by first reducing any revaluation surplus to zero, with further impairment losses reported on the income statement. In this problem, the buildings were impaired on December 31, Year 4 because the $2,295,000 carrying value of the buildings exceeded the $2,000,000 recoverable amount. The $295,000 ($2,000,000 - $2,295,000) impairment loss is recorded by first reducing to zero the $200,000 revaluation surplus from the Year 1 revaluation, and then recorded the $95,000 remaining impairment loss on the income statemen

52
Q

IFRS investment property

A

Under IFRS, investment property is defined as land and buildings held by an entity to earn rentals or for capital appreciation

53
Q

Investment property

A

When investment property is reported at cost less accumulated depreciation, fair value must be disclosed.
Investment property may be reported at cost less accumulated depreciation or fair value. When investment property is reported at fair value, it is not depreciated. Gains and losses from investment property fair value adjustments are reported on the income statement. Revaluation gains on fixed assets not classified as investment property are reported in other comprehensive income.The best evidence of investment property fair value is current prices in an active market for similar property in the same location and condition. If this information is not available, the present value of future cash flows may be used to determine fair value.

54
Q

IFRS revaluation

A

Under IFRS, if an individual fixed asset is revalued, then the entire class of fixed assets to which that asset belongs must be revalued. Individual fixed assets cannot be revalued alone.

55
Q

interest when borrowing are not tied to an investment

A

If borrowings are not tied specifically to the construction of an asset, the weighted average interest rate for the other borrowings of the company should be used. The weighted average interest rate is calculated as follows:
[(6,000,000/14,000,000) * .08] + [(8,000,000/14,000,000) * .09] = .0857, or 8.57%.

56
Q

A

A sewage system is a Land Improvement.

57
Q

Interest cap

A

avoidable interst = interest capitalized based on CUMULATIVE average accumulatedures expendit

$250,000, spent uniformly during the year
avg expe = 250/2 = 125

58
Q

Revaluation

A

nder the revaluation model of IFRS, the reversal of a revaluation is recognized in profit or loss.

59
Q

basket purchase

A

allocation multiplied by purchase price

60
Q

Sum of years digits

A

N(n+1)/2 = sum of years for exam 10

say useful life is 4 years

salvage life

year one is 4/10
year two 3/10 etc

61
Q

Depletion

A

unit depletion =Depletion based/estimated recoverable units

depletion based = cost of land+development costs+restoration-residual value

depletion=units depletion*units extrac

cogs depletion=unit depletion*units sold

62
Q

Double declining

A

21/ncost-accum dep ( IGNORE SV)

n=useful life

63
Q

units of production

A

Units-of-production depreciation method reflects that an asset’s service potential declines with use

64
Q

impairment

A

still take dep in year of impairment based on the new value

65
Q

composite and group

A

Both group and composite depreciation are based on the straight-line depreciation method. The group method is for groups of similar assets while the composite method is for a collection of dissimilar assets.

66
Q

depreciation

A

If accumulated depreciation equals original cost, then the asset has been depreciated to $0. Depreciable assets should not depreciated below salvage value under any depreciation method.

67
Q

Component

A

IFRS requires component depreciation. Under component depreciation, the machinery, component, and inspection cost are recognized and depreciated separately:

68
Q

depreciable base - trick be careful

A

The depreciable base of an asset is cost minus salvage value.

69
Q

permanent impairment

A

When a permanent impairment occurs, the book value is reduced and a loss is recorded. The loss is credited to accumulated depreciation. In addition, the current year’s depreciation expense should be added. The new book value is depreciated over the new life.

70
Q

composite life

A

dep cost/annual dep

71
Q

impairment loss

A

When a permanent impairment has occurred, the book value is reduced with a credit to accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of the remaining balance is taken over the remaining life.

72
Q

IFRS impairment

A

nder IFRS, impairment exists when the carrying value of a fixed asset exceeds the fixed asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the asset’s value in use (present value of future cash flows)

73
Q

Reversal of impairment

A

. There will be no amount recorded because a subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is prohibited under U.S. GAAP. Note that reversal of impairment loss is permitted under IFRS.

74
Q

Test for recoverability

A

The carrying amount of fixed assets should be tested for recoverability at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

75
Q

restored not reversing

A

Under U.S. GAAP, long-lived assets that are impaired can only have their carrying value restored if they are held for disposal. Assets that are held for continued use that are impaired are not permitted to have any restoration of carrying value. Keep in mind that any write-ups are limited to previous write-downs.

76
Q

impairment loss presentation

A

he third statement is true. The first statement is incorrect, since impairment losses are shown as a component of income from continuing operations, before tax. The second statement is also false. To determine whether an impairment loss exists, undiscounted future cash flows are compared to carrying value. If an impairment loss exists, then the fair value of the asset can be used to determine the amount of the loss to be recognized.v

77
Q

impairment two step

exists because CA

A

A fixed asset is first tested for impairment. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss needs to be recognized. In this problem, the carrying value is $170 million and the undiscounted future cash flows are estimated to be $150 million. Therefore, an impairment loss must be recorded.
The amount of the impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset:

78
Q

Sale lease back - accounting for gain

A

t. Dean Manufacturing is leasing its facility back for a minor length of time, less than 10 percent of
the useful life of the property (2­year lease / 25­year useful life). The gain on the sale would not be deferred but would
be recognized in full, since the earnings process is deemed to be complete
