Q

How is an ARO accounted for in periods of initial measurement

A

ARO liability is adjusted (increased) for accretion expense and then the ACO asset is depreciated (decreases)..these amounts are added together

Q

When do you actually record a contingent liability? how do you record/disclose if it is probable, reasonably likely, and remote

A

when the loss is both probable AND reasonably estimated (minimum in-range amount) you record and disclose it

you just disclose it when it is only reasonably possible

and when its remote you dont disclose it (unless its a guarantee)

Q

HOW DO YOU FIND THE BOND PRICE

A

1: take the face amount and multiply it by the coupon (stated) rate and divide by number of periods (if applicable) this gives us one of our interest payments
2: take the face amount of the bond and mulitply it by the PV factor of $1 for the MARKET interest rate (notice the periods and rate are changed if paid more than annual)
3: take the interest payment and multiply it by te PV market rate of an annuity (notice periods and such)
ADD THE ANSWERS TOGETHER AND YOU GET BOND PRICE

Under GAAP What FS is fund status report on? How does the value change its classification?

A

Balance Sheet

If OVERFUNDED (Fv of Plan assets > PBO) then its a noncurrent asset

Employees services have already been rendered Rights vest or accumulate Payment of the compensation is probable Amount can be reasonably estimated
26
Can you summarize the cost method of treasury stock
recorded, carried, and reissued at reacquisition cost for all entries. any gain goes to APIC-Treasury Stock any loss goes against any previously recorded APIC, then any excess comes out of RE its reported as a deduction from total Stockholders Equity.
27
Can you summarize the par value (legal) method of treasury stock
Recorded at PAR value during all the entries with cost of stock in excess flowing as a reduction in APIC-treasury Stock and then from retained earnings
28
Go into detail regarding the three dates relating to cash dividends: Declaration date, Date of Record, and Date of payment
Declaration Date: Becomes a liability and reduces Retained earnings Date of Record: NO JE, memo entry only Date of Payment: Actually paid
29
What are small stock dividends recorded at, and what % are associated with them? Same questions but what about large stock?
Small stock dividends (<20-25%) are carried at Fair Value | While Large Stock Dividends (>20-25%) are carried at par value
30

Prior Service cost and pension losses: DR: Pension benefit asset CR: OCI Amort: Dr: OCI CR: Net periodic Pension Cost
33
What are the JE's for recognizing pension gains? what about the entry when it is amortized
Pension Gains: DR:OCI CR: Pension benefit asset Amort: DR: Net periodic Pension Cost Cr: OCI
34
how do you calculate Book Value Per Common Share
Common Shareholders Equity / Common Shares outstanding
35
How do you calculate Common Shareholders Equity (equation multi step)

37
Do stock splits require a journal entry? and is the book value of C/S changed?
NOOO
38
What type of lease classifications are applicable to lessees
lessees will treat the lease as either an operating or finance lease
39
What type of lease classifications are applicable to lessors
Lessors will treat a lease as either operating, sales-type, or direct financing lease.
40
What is the criteria for determining whether a lease is Finance Lease for the Lessee and a sales-type lease for the lessor
if one of the following is met: OWNES Ownership transfer at end of lease term Written option to purchase the option Net present value of all lease ayments is equal to or substancially exceeds assets FV (90%) Economic life remaining on asset is made up by a major part of the lease term (75%) Specialized asset which indicates it will not have an alternate use after the lease ends
41
What happens if none of OWNES is met? how would the lessee classify it
It's an operating lease for the lessee
42
What happens if none of OWNES is met? Before calling it an operating lease the LESSOR would have to do this other test...
if none of OWNES is met, We go to the PC rule. Where both the Present value of the sum of payments and guaranteed residual payments is = to or exceeds the assets Fair Value AND the Collection of lease payments is probable...THEN it's considered a Direct Financing Lease BUT IF only one/none of those is prevalent then its an operating lease
43
What is the date when the lease begins
the commencement date
44
What components will be included and excluded from lease payments REPORT N GO
``` Lessee lease payments include: REPORT Required contractual fixed payment Exercise option Purchase price at end of lease Only indexed or rate variable payments Residual guarantees likely to be owned Termination penalites ``` Lessee lease may or may not include (at lessee option): N Nonlease components Lessee lease payments specifically exclude: GO Guarantess of lessor debt by lessee Other variable lease payments
45
What rate is used to calculate the present value of minimum lease payments, if this first rate isnt known, what other rate do you use?
the implicit rate, if it is not known, use the incremental borrowing rate
46
Can you list a couple initial Direct Costs that are included or excluded in the valuation of a Right-Of-Use Asset
Any direct costs that are incurred as a result of the execution of the lease is INCLUDED Any direct costs incurred prior to signing the lease are EXCLUDED
47
Go ahead and list the initial and subsequent journal entries recorded by the LESSEE when the lease qualifies as an operating lease
Initial: DR: ROU Asset CR: Lease Liability Subsequent: DR: Lease Expense CR: Cash/Lease Liability DR: Lease Liability CR: Accumulated Amortization - ROU asset
48
Go ahead and list the initial and subsequent journal entries recorded by the LESSEE when the lease qualifies as an Finance lease
Initial: DR: ROU Asset CR: Lease Liability Subsequent: DR: Interest Expense DR: Lease Liability CR: Cash/Lease Payable DR: Amortization Expense CR: Accumulated Amortization - ROU asset
49
Can you identify a few ways in which the sales-type leases are different from direct finance leases
in a sales-type lease, the lessee gains control of the asset and the lessor will remove the asset from its books and recognize a profit or loss. Whereas, in a direct finance lease, the lessee does not gain control of the asset. The lessor will remove it from the books but will instead recognize a net investment in the lease
50
Go ahead and list the initial and subsequent journal entries recorded by the LESSOR when the lease qualifies as an OPERATING lease
DR: Cash CR: Rental Income DR: Depreciation Expense CR: Acc. Depr.
51
When is the translation method used? When is the remeasurement method used?
Translation method is used to restate the FS denominated in the functional currency to the reporting currency. Remeasurement method is used when 'dysfunctional' currency is used by the sub.
52
Can you identify the exchange rate to be used when translating different components of the BS and IS? As in Assets & liabilities, Common Stock and APIC, and Revenue and Expenses
Assets and Liabilities: Current Exchange Rate Common Stock and APIC: Historical rate Revenue and expenses: Weighted Average exchange rate
53
What financial statement includes translation
OCI, they are treated as unrealized gains and losses
54
Give 5 examples of permanent differences.
Premiums and/or proceeds on key-officer life insurance when entity is owner and beneficiary Tax-exempt interest on municipal bonds nondeductible portion of meals and entertainment fines/expenses for breaking the law Dividend Received Deduction

Give 5 examples of temporary differences.
Deprecation (Financial vs. MACRS) Gross profit on long term construction (% complete vs. completed contract) Estimated Warranty Costs Gross profit on installment sale (accrual vs. Cash) BDE using the allowance method vs. actual BDE
56
How do you find the DTA or DTL?
its the difference between the ITE (Financial Statements) and the ITP (Taxable amount) using the enacted rate. Or you can multiply the enacted rate by the amount of temporary differences.
57
What would be the JE for the inception of a sales type lease for the lessor
DR: Lease Receivable CR: Fixed Asset CR: Gain (or debit loss)
58
What would be the JE for the inception of a Direct Financing Lease for the lessor
DR: Lease Receivable DR: Residual Asset (PV at implicit rate) CR: Fixed Asset
59
When thinking about how much the Payment amount, interest and amortization amount is for a lease..what equation can you use to find the carrying amount of the ROUA at a point in time
You have the total lease liability (carrying value of ROUA) do the Payment (lease expense) - Interest (implicit rate x lease liability) = Amortization The amortization is how much the ROUA is decreased
60
What is the total tax expense equation (ITE)
Current Liability (ITP) - Deferred Asset
61
What is the total tax expense equation (ITP)
Tax return amount x current tax rate
62
What has to be greater than what to give rise to a DTL
Future Tax Accounting Income GREATER THAN Future Financial Accounting Income
63
What has to be greater than what to give rise to a DTA
Future Tax Accounting Income is LESS THAN Future Financial Accounting Income
64
What account do you use if it is more likely than not (>50%) that part of or all of the DTA will not be realized? is this method allowed under IFRS
The Valuation Allowance Account is used (contra account) | NOT ALLOWED UNDER IFRS
65
What is the initial entry for a deferred tax asset
DR: DTA DR: ITE-Current CR: Income tax Payable CR: Income tax benefit-deferred
66
What is the initial entry for a deferred tax Liability
DR: ITE-Current DR: ITE-Deferred CR: Income Taxes Currently Payable CR: DTL
67
What is the easy equation to find the income tax expense-current portion (ITE)
Taxable income (Financial statement) x Tax rate
68
So when making an amortization table think from left to right it goes how?
Lease Liability, Total Lease Expense, Interest Expense, Amortization Expense and Carrying Amount of Asset.
69
How do you find the Return on plan assets (R OF SIR AGE)
Beg FV of plan assets x Expected Rate of Return
70
How do you find the Amortization of prior service cost (A IN SIR AGE)
Beginning unrecognized prior service cost / average remaining service life
71
Liquidating Dividends impacts APIC and Retained Earnings how?
