Points to consider with debt versus equity

Debt is cheaper due to tax shield since interest is paid before a company pays its corporation tax

More debt equals more risk so cost of capital is higher

The cost of capital is higher weighted average cost of capital is lower

Static trade of theory looks to find a balance

Pecking order theory. First retained earnings second debt third equity

Q

How to account for equity based options

A

We take the star value at the grants dates and don’t change as movements in share price of benefits for the employee. We spread it out over the vesting period. For example if we had 10,000 share options for five of its directors and they have to stay in the position for three years(three-year vesting period) and after one year to directors will leave and after two years one director will leave and the grant date price is $30 then

Year one
SFP 300,000 (10,000 x 30 x 5-2 x 1/3)
P&L 300,000

Year 2
SFP 800,000 (10,000 x 30 x 5-1 x 2/3)
P&L 500,000 (b)

32
How to account for bond with anticipated credit loss
As it’s a financial asset initially at fair value plus cost. Let’s say a $10,000 credit loss is expected but it is low risk we credit allowance for impairments accounts to offset as it’s the amount for one year. For next year recognise bond as normal at amortised cost and if risk increases increase allowance account further.
33
How to accounts for impairments of financial assets
It would credit allowance for impairments (bad debt provision) and debit PL. The amounts depends on the risk factor. Stage one Initial recognition when no subsequent significant deterioration in credit quality. Present value of expected credit losses 12 months after reporting date. Stage two Significant deterioration in credit quality (30 days arrears). Impairment recognise at present value of expected credit shortfalls (lifetime expected credit losses) Stage three Objective evidence of an impairments. Again lifetime expected credit losses
34
Went to classifies something as discontinued operation
When it is disposed of Or if house for sale and: Separate major line of business or geographical area Single coordinated plan Subsidiary acquired exclusively with plan to resell
35
What is meant by the discontinued operation
Within the numbers of revenue cost of sales profit et cetera will be discontinued operation and to ensure use a spotted this we had a line in PL
36
How to account for non-current asset held for sale
Must be available for immediate sale and sell highly probable (less than one year) It is valued at lower of carrying value and fair value less cost of sale Once classified as non-current asset health for sale if there is no longer depreciated Sale goes through PL
37
How to account for a foreign currency assets owned by a subsidiary
Imagine subsidiary deals in euros when we first acquire subsidiary with value assets at fair value and also convert to pounds on date of acquisition. We then depreciates/amortised over life of assets then we we calculate exchange rate reporting date using the closing rate and foreign exchange differences go through OCI. Income and expenses are translated as exchange rate at date of transaction
38
What is the definition of functional currency

42
How to identify performance obligations
If the goods and services are distinct (could be sold separately) if not must be bundled This means they are separately identifiable Also customers can gain benefits from the performance application. E.g. if you buy a license and the license comes with updates then it would be considered as a bundle because without the updates the customer would not receive the correct level of benefit
43
What is pro forma for no control into control
Do you recognise currents 40% back to Nil Recognise 40% at fair value and difference goes through PL Usual pro forma from there
44
What is the pro forma for equity accounting
Cost + percentage of post acquisition reserves - dividends received
45

48
How to work out deferred tax
What is the difference between carrying value and tax base Multiplied by tax rate Is it asset or liability (if carrying value is greater than tax base it’s a liability and vice versa) Movements goes through PL (income tax expense and deferred tax provisions)
49
How to deal with convertible loans
Let’s say we issue $1 million loan with a nominal value of $100 Similar debt is 6% effective rate is 6.34%. Firstly debits cash $99 million and split out of credit to equity (balancing figure) and liability. To get liability work out the net present value so let’s say three years at 6% plus $100 nominal With discount factor of 6% is $94.7 million we take the 99,000,000×94.7% to give liability and difference to equity. No equity doesn’t change but we do usual table to get carrying forward position of $100 million after three years and the end of period either credit cash or equity as well as debit liability
50

Initial measurement is fair value less transaction costs Subsequently via amortise costs (use table)
51
How to accounts for a debt instruments within financial assets
Use the amortisation table
52
How to account for financial assets within financial instruments
Initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. Then subsequently Each year we value of fair value and the gain or loss expense movement PL unless IRREVOCABLE elect to put through OCIas less volatile. This is for equity instruments like shares and amortised cost if debt instrument like lending money
53
What is the pro forma from control to no control
Add sale proceeds and fair value of remaining shares Less net assets plus goodwill less noncontrolling interest
54
What is the recoverable amount
Higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use
55
What are examples of revenue recognition at a single point in time
Present right to payments for the assets Transfer legal title of the assets Transferred physical possession of the assets Transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the customer Customer has accepted the asset
56
Requirements for identifying a contract
The contract is approved by all parties The Rights and payment terms can be identified The contract has commercial substance It is probable that revenue will be collected
57
How to workout revenue when there is free interest (usual interest 5%)
Let’s see a car then we discount the value of the car by the number of years of free interest and the usual interest rate. This amount and then goes into revenue and then each year we unwind the amount and put it in finance income
58
How to accounts for revenue that has a bundle price
Set up two columns. First column call individual and second column called bundle. In the rose put the difference items within the performance application and sports in the individual prices with a total at the bottom. The total of the bundle amounts put in what the bundle amount is and then divide the individual amounts by the total individual amount multiplied by the bundle total. You will notice that if you add all the bundles up they should come to the total bundle amount
59

If the customer simultaneously consumes the benefit of the performance
60
What are the areas of sustainability
Environmental conduct Social conduct
61
What are the asset recognition rules

82
Difference between principal and agent
An agent is like an intermediary so we should only book the commission as revenue. For example if a third-party buys goods and we are invoiced for those goods however we then also invoice the third-party with a management fee on top for those goods sent as agents which the only recognise the management fee in the PL
