AACSB assurance of learning standards in accounting and business education require documentation of outcomes assessment. Although schools, departments, and faculty may approach assessment and its documentation differently, one approach is to provide specific questions on exams that become the basis for assessment. To aid faculty in this endeavor, we have labeled each question, exercise, and problem in Intermediate Accounting, 7e, with the following AACSB learning skills: Questions

Intermediate Accounting, 7e

Questions for Review of Key Topics Question 12–1 Investment securities are classified as “held-to-maturity,” “trading,” or “available-for-sale” securities.

Question 12–2 Increases and decreases in the market value between the time a debt security is acquired and the day it matures to a prearranged maturity value are ignored for a security classified as “held-tomaturity.” These changes aren’t important if sale before maturity isn’t an alternative, which is the case if an investor has the “positive intent and ability” to hold the security to maturity.

Question 12–3 GAAP distinguishes between three levels of inputs to fair value determination, with level 1 being readily observable fair values (for example, from a securities exchange), level 2 inputs are other observable amounts (for example, quoted values for similar items, or important inputs like interest rates), and level 3 inputs are unobservable, like the company’s own assumptions. GAAP requires disclosure of the amount of fair values based on each of these three classes of inputs.

Question 12–4 For investments to be held for an unspecified period of time, fair value information is more relevant than for investments to be held to maturity. Changes in fair values are less relevant if the investment is to be held to maturity because sale at that fair value is not an option. The investor receives the same contracted interest payments for the period held to maturity and the stated principal at maturity, regardless of movements in market values. However, when the investment is of unspecified length, changes in fair values indicate management’s success in deciding when to acquire the investment and when to sell it, as well as the propriety of investing in fixed-rate or variable-rate securities and long-term or short-term securities.

Question 12–5 The way unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in the financial statements depends on whether the investments are classified as “securities available-for-sale” or as “trading securities.” Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value, and resulting holding gains and losses are not included in the determination of income for the period. Rather, they are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, as part of other comprehensive income (OCI). (Available-forsale securities for which the investor has chosen the fair value option are reclassified as trading securities.)

12–3

Answers to Questions (continued) Question 12–6 Comprehensive income is a more expansive view of the change in shareholders’ equity than traditional net income. It encompasses all changes in equity from nonowner transactions. The nonincome part of comprehensive income is called “other comprehensive income.” Other comprehensive income includes net unrealized holding gains (losses) on AFS investments, and also the noncredit loss component of other-than-temporary impairments of HTM investments.

Question 12–7 Unrealized holding gains or losses on trading securities are reported in the income statement as if they actually had been realized. Trading securities are actively managed in a trading account with the express intent of profiting from short-term market price changes. So, any gains and losses that result from holding securities during market price changes are suitable measures of success or lack of success in achieving that goal. On the other hand, unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available-for-sale are not reported in the income statement. By definition, these securities are not acquired for the purpose of profiting from short-term market price changes, so gains and losses from holding these securities while prices change are less relevant performance measures to be included in earnings.

Question 12–8 When acquired, debt and equity securities are assigned to one of the three reporting classifications: held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. The appropriateness of the classification is reassessed at each reporting date. A reclassification should be accounted for as though the security had been sold and immediately reacquired at its fair value. Any unrealized holding gain or loss should be accounted for in a manner consistent with the classification into which the security is being transferred. Specifically, when a security is transferred: 1. Into the trading category, any unrealized holding gain or loss should be recognized in earnings of the reclassification period. 2. Into the available-for-sale category, any unrealized holding gain or loss should be recorded in other comprehensive income, which will then increase accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. 3. Into the held-to-maturity category, any unrealized holding gain or loss should be amortized over the remaining time to maturity. This would be the case for Western Die-Casting’s investment in the LGB Heating Equipment bonds.

Intermediate Accounting, 7e

Answers to Questions (continued) Question 12–9 Yes. Although a company is not required to report individual amounts for the three categories of investments—held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading—on the face of the balance sheet, that information should be presented in the disclosure notes. The following also should be disclosed for each year presented: aggregate fair value, gross realized and unrealized holding gains, gross realized and unrealized holding losses, the change in net unrealized holding gains and losses, and amortized cost basis by major security type. Information about the level of the fair value hierarchy upon which fair values are based should be provided, and more disclosure is necessary with respect to amounts based on level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, information about maturities should be reported for debt securities, by disclosing the fair value and cost for at least four maturity groupings: (a) within 1 year, (b) after 1 year through 5 years, (c) after 5 years through 10 years, and (d) after 10 years.

Question 12–10 Under IFRS No. 9, debt investments are accounted for as either amortized cost or FVTPL (“fair value through profit and loss”), while equity investments are accounted for at FVTPL unless the equity is not held for trading and the investor elects at acquisition to account for the investment at FVTOCI (“fair value through other comprehensive income”).

Question 12–11 According to U.S. GAAP, the fair value of an equity security is considered readily determinable only if its selling price is currently available on particular securities exchanges or over-the-counter markets. If the fair value of an equity security is not readily determinable, U.S. GAAP uses the cost method. Under IFRS, equity investments typically are measured at fair value, even if they are not listed on an exchange or over-the-counter market. Under IAS No. 39, the cost method only is used if fair value cannot be measured reliably, which occurs when the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant and the probability of various estimates within the range cannot be reasonably estimated. Under IFRS No. 9, the cost method is prohibited, although cost can sometimes be used as an estimate of fair value. Therefore, in general, use of the cost method is less prevalent under IFRS than under U.S. GAAP.

Question 12–12 When a company elects the fair value option for held-to-maturity or available-for-sale investments, it simply reclassifies those investments as trading securities and accounts for them in that fashion.

© The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2013 Solutions Manual, Vol. 1, Chapter 12

12–5

Answers to Questions (continued) Question 12–13 U.S. GAAP allows companies complete discretion in electing the fair value option when an investment is made. The only constraint is that the election is irrevocable. IFRS only allows companies to elect the fair value option in specific circumstances, for example, when electing the fair value option for an asset or liability allows a company to avoid the “accounting mismatch” that occurs when some parts of a fair value risk-hedging arrangement are accounted for at fair value and others are not.

Question 12–14 The equity method is used when an investor can’t control but can “significantly influence” the investee. For example, if effective control is absent, the investor still might be able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee if the investor owns a large percentage of the outstanding shares relative to other shareholders. By voting those shares as a block, the investor often can sway decisions in the direction desired. We presume, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that the investor exercises significant influence over the investee when it owns between 20% and 50% of the investee's voting shares.

Question 12–15 The equity method, like consolidation, views the investor and investee as a special type of single entity. By the equity method, though, the investor doesn’t include separate financial statement items of the investee on an item-by-item basis as in consolidation. Rather, by the equity method, the investor reports its equity interest in the investee as a single investment account. That single investment account is periodically adjusted to reflect the effects of consolidation, without actually consolidating financial statements.

Question 12–16 The investor should account for dividends from the investee as a reduction in the investment account. Since investment revenue is recognized as the investee earns it, it would be inappropriate to again recognize revenue when earnings are distributed as dividends. Rather, the dividend distribution is considered to be a reduction of the investee’s net assets, indicating that the investor’s ownership interest in those net assets declines proportionately.

Intermediate Accounting, 7e

Answers to Questions (continued) Question 12–17 The equity method attempts to approximate the effects of accounting for the purchase of the investee as a consolidation. Consolidated financial statements report acquired net assets at their fair values as of the date the investor acquired the investee. The accounting in the consolidated financial statements subsequent to the acquisition date is based on those fair values. So, if Finest had consolidated its acquisition of Penner, Penner’s depreciable assets would have been put on Finest’s balance sheet in their respective asset accounts at their fair value on the date of acquisition and then depreciated over 10 years. Under the equity method, Finest’s investment in Penner is shown in a single investment account. Therefore, for the equity method to approximate consolidation, it would reduce both investment revenue (as if depreciation expense were being recognized) and the investment (as if the book value of the asset were being reduced) by the negative income effect of the “extra depreciation” the higher fair value would cause. This would equal 40% x $12 million ÷ 10 years = $480,000 each year for 10 years.

Question 12–18 The investment account was decreased by $40,000 (40% x $100,000). Cash increased by the same amount. There is no effect in the income statement.

Question 12–19 When it becomes necessary to change from the equity method to another method, no adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the investment. The equity method is simply discontinued and the new method is applied from then on. The investment account balance when the equity method is discontinued would serve as the new “cost” basis for writing the investment up or down to fair value in the next set of financial statements.

Question 12–20 IFRS require that accounting policies of investees be adjusted to correspond to those of the investor when applying the equity method. U.S. GAAP has no such requirement. Also, IFRS allow investors to account for a joint venture using either the equity method or “proportionate consolidation,” whereby the investor combines its proportionate share of the investee’s accounts with its own accounts on an item-by-item basis. U.S. GAAP generally requires that the equity method be used to account for joint ventures.

Question 12–21 When a company elects the fair value option for a significant-influence investment, that investment is not reclassified as a trading security. Rather, the investment still appears in the balance sheet as a significant-influence investment, but the amount that is accounted for at fair value is indicated in the balance sheet either parenthetically on a single line that includes the total amount of significant-influence investment or on a separate line. As with trading securities, unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings in the period in which they occur.

12–7

Answers to Questions (continued) Question 12–22 A financial instrument is: (a) cash, (b) evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, (c) a contract that (1) imposes on one entity an obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument and (2) conveys to a second entity a right to receive cash or another financial instrument, or (d) a contract that (1) imposes on one entity an obligation to exchange financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms and (2) conveys to a second entity a right to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms. Accounts payable, bank loans, and investments in securities are examples.

Question 12–23 These instruments “derive” their values or contractually required cash flows from some other security or index.

Question 12–24 Since this money won’t be used within the upcoming operating cycle, it is a noncurrent asset. It should be reported as part of investments.

Question 12–25 Part of each premium payment the company makes is not used by the insurance company to pay for life insurance coverage, but rather is “invested” on behalf of the insured company in a fixedincome investment. As a result, the periodic insurance premium should not be expensed in its entirety; an appropriate portion should be recorded instead as a noncurrent asset—cash surrender value.

Question 12–26 If the investor intends to sell the investment, or thinks it will be more likely than not that it will be required to sell the investment prior to recovering the impairment, the investor is required to recognize the entire impairment loss in the income statement as an OTT impairment, writing down the investment to fair value in the balance sheet. Otherwise, the investor considers whether credit losses exist. If there are no credit losses, no impairment loss is recognized. On the other hand, if there are some credit losses, then the investment is written down to fair value in the balance sheet. However, only the credit loss component is recognized in net income. Any noncredit losses are recognized in OCI. In the income statement, the entire impairment loss is shown, and then the amount of noncredit loss is subtracted, leaving only the credit loss reducing net income.

Intermediate Accounting, 7e

Answers to Questions (concluded) Question 12–27 If the OTT impairment relates to an equity investment, the entire amount of impairment is recognized in net income. Any previously recorded unrealized losses are reclassified out of AOCI. If the OTT impairment relates to a debt investment, the accounting is more complicated. First, if the investor intends to sell the investment, or thinks it will be more likely than not that it will be required to sell the investment prior to recovering the impairment, it is required to recognize the entire impairment loss in the income statement as an OTT impairment, writing down the investment to fair value in the balance sheet. Otherwise, the investor considers whether credit losses exist. If there are no credit losses, no impairment loss is recognized. On the other hand, if there are some credit losses, then the investment is written down to fair value in the balance sheet. However, only the credit loss component is recognized in net income. Any noncredit losses are recognized in OCI. In the income statement, the entire impairment loss is shown, and then the amount of noncredit loss is subtracted, leaving only the credit loss reducing net income.

Question 12–28 Given that the decline in shares relates to a new law banning a primary approach used by the company, it likely would be treated as an other-than-temporary impairment. So, when the investment is written down to its fair value, the amount of the write-down should be treated as if it were a realized loss, meaning the loss is included in income for the period. This could require a reclassification adjustment if any unrealized losses were included previously in OCI, just as if the investment was being sold. Subsequent to the other-than-temporary write-down, the usual treatment of unrealized gains or losses should be resumed. Therefore, later changes in fair value will be reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, accumulated other comprehensive income.

Question 12–29 U.S. GAAP and IFRS differ somewhat. Under IFRS, OTT impairments only are recognized on debt that is classified as HTM to the extent that credit losses exist, so there is no noncredit loss component of OTT impairments under IFRS. OTT impairments are recognized on debt classified as AFS in their entirety, with no distinction made between credit losses and noncredit losses. Also, under IFRS, OTT impairments can be recovered in earnings for debt investments, but not for equity investments. U.S. GAAP does not allow OTT impairments to be recovered in earnings for either debt or equity investments (unless the debt investment is classified as a loan).

12–9

Supplement Questions for Review of Key Topics Question 12–30 Investment securities are classified as “amortized cost,” “FV-OCI,” or “FV-NI.”

Question 12–31 To be accounted for at amortized cost, a debt investment must have the characteristics of “simple” debt: (1) the debt consists primarily of payments that include interest and return of principal, (2) the debt agreement doesn’t allow the debtor to prepay or settle the debt in a manner that provides a loss to the investor, and (3) the debt does not involve derivatives. The debt also must be held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows associated with lending or customer financing.

Question 12–32 To be accounted for at FV-OCI, a debt investment must have the characteristics of “simple” debt (the debt consists primarily of payments that include interest and return of principal, don’t allow the debtor to prepay or settle the debt in a manner that provides a loss to the investor, and do not involve derivatives). The debt also must be held for the purpose of maximizing investment return by selling it after it has appreciated in value or collecting contractual cash flows, or for managing risk.

Question 12–33 First, if the debt investment is “complex,” it is accounted for at FV-NI. The debt investment is complex if it lacks one or more of the characteristics of simple debt (the debt consists primarily of payments that include interest and return of principal, don’t allow the debtor to prepay or settle the debt in a manner that provides a loss to the investor, and do not involve derivatives). The debt investment also is accounted for at FV-NI if it is “simple” and either is held for sale at acquisition or issuance or does not qualify for being accounted for at amortized cost or FV-OCI.

Question 12–34 If the investor lacks the ability to significantly influence the investee, an equity investment is accounted for at FV-NI. Nonpublic organizations have a practicability exception with respect to nonmarketable investments, allowing them to account for the investment at cost less any impairments and adjusted for any changes in fair value that are observed from transactions of similar equity.

Brief Exercise 12–4 Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value, and resulting holding gains and losses are not included in the determination of net income for the period. Rather, they are reported as “other comprehensive income” in the statement of comprehensive income. The accumulated balance of net holding gains and losses is reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income. The adjusting entry needed to increase the fair value adjustment from $110,000 to $170,000 is: Fair value adjustment ($670,000 – 610,000) ........... Net unrealized holding gains and losses–OCI

60,000 60,000

Brief Exercise 12–5 These are securities available-for-sale and are reported at their fair value, $4,000,000. We know this because securities “held-to-maturity” are debt securities that an investor has the “positive intent and ability” to hold to maturity. Actively traded investments in debt or equity securities acquired principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as “trading securities.” The FedEx shares have been held for over a year. They are classified as “available-for-sale” since all investments in debt and equity securities that don’t fit the definitions of the other reporting categories are classified this way. Of course, the equity method isn’t appropriate either because 40,000 shares of FedEx certainly don’t constitute “significant influence.” Investments in securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value.

Brief Exercise 12–7 An investor should account for dividends from an investment not accounted for by the equity method as investment revenue. Since Turner holds only 10% of ICA stock, it’s assumed that it does not have significant influence over the company. Turner’s cash increased by $500,000 (10% x $5 million). It also reports $500,000 as investment revenue in the income statement.

Brief Exercise 12–8 An investor should account for dividends from an equity method investee as a reduction in its investment account. Since investment revenue is recognized as the investee earns it, it would be inappropriate to again recognize revenue when earnings are distributed as dividends. Instead, the dividend distribution is considered to be a reduction of the investee’s net assets, reflecting the fact that the investor’s ownership interest in those net assets declined proportionately. Turner’s cash increased by $2 million (40% x $5 million). Its investment account declined by the same amount. There is no effect in the income statement.

Intermediate Accounting, 7e

Brief Exercise 12–9 With the equity method we attempt to approximate the effects of accounting for the purchase of the investee as a consolidation. Consolidated financial statements report acquired net assets at their fair values. Both investment revenue and the investment would be reduced by the negative income effect of the “extra depreciation” the higher fair value would cause. This would equal (30% x $50 million) ÷ 15 years = $1 million each year for 15 years.

Brief Exercise 12–10 Under proportionate consolidation, Park would have included its portion of Wallis’s depreciable assets in the Park depreciable asset accounts on its consolidated balance sheet. Those depreciable asset accounts would be reduced by the “extra depreciation” the higher fair value would cause. This would equal (50% x $50 million) ÷ 15 years = $1.67 million each year for 15 years.

Brief Exercise 12–11 The investment would be increased by $12 million. Financial statements would be recast to reflect the equity method for each year reported for comparative purposes. A disclosure note also should describe the change, justify the switch, and indicate its effects on all financial statement items. The answer would not be the same if Pioneer changes from the equity method. Rather, no adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the investment. Instead, the equity method is simply discontinued, and the new method is applied from then on. The balance in the investment account when the equity method is discontinued would serve as the new “cost” basis for writing the investment up or down to market value in the next set of financial statements. There also would be no revision of prior years, but the change should be described in a disclosure note.

Brief Exercise 12–12 Given Turner’s election of the fair value option, it would account for this investment similar to a trading security, while still preserving its classification as a significant-influence investment and showing it as a noncurrent asset in the balance sheet. 2013 January 2 Investment in ICA Company .............................................. 10,000,000 Cash .................................................................................. 10,000,000 December 30 Cash (40% x $500,000) ...........................................................

December 31 Fair value adjustment ($11.5M – 10M) ................................... 1,500,000 Net unrealized holding gains and losses—I/S (may also labeled “investment revenue”) ........................ 1,500,000 Note: A different approach to reach the same outcome would be for Turner to use equity-method accounting throughout the year, and then at the end of the year make whatever adjustment to fair value is necessary to adjust the investment account to fair value. Under that approach, Turner would recognize 40% of ICA’s $750,000 income ($300,000) as investment income, it would not recognize investment income associated with ICA’s dividend, and it would end up with an investment account containing $10,100,000 ($10,000,000 + 300,000 – 200,000). Turner then would need to make a fair value adjustment of $1,400,000 ($11,500,000 – 10,100,000) to its ICA investment. So the total amount of income recognized would be $1,700,000 ($300,000 investment income + $1,400,000 unrealized gain). Note that this alternative produces the same total amount of investment income as is produced above, $1,700,000 ($200,000 investment revenue + $1,500,000 unrealized gain).

Brief Exercise 12–13 Because the drop in the market price of stock is considered to be other-thantemporary, LED records the impairment of $450,000 ($4.50 x 100,000 shares) and reclassifies previously recognized unrealized losses of $100,000 ($1.00 x 100,000 shares) as follows: Other-than-temporary impairment loss—I/S ....

450,000

Fair value adjustment ......................................... Net unrealized holding gains and losses—OCI

100,000 100,000

450,000

In the income statement, the entire $450,000 will be shown as an OTT impairment loss. A $100,000 reclassification adjustment will increase OCI (because the $100,000 decreased OCI and therefore AOCI in a prior period, it must be backed out of OCI and AOCI in the current period). Therefore, the net effect on comprehensive income during the current period will be $350,000.

12–19

Brief Exercise 12–14 LED believes it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the investment before fair value recovers, so the portion of the impairment that consists of credit and noncredit losses is not relevant. LED must recognize the entire OTT impairment in earnings, reducing the carrying value of the LED bonds by crediting a discount on bond investment account. LED records the impairment of $450,000 and reclassifies previously recognized unrealized losses of $100,000 as follows: Other-than-temporary impairment loss—I/S .....

Brief Exercise 12–15 LED does not intend to sell the investment, and it does not believe it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the investment before fair value recovers, so the portion of the impairment that consists of credit and noncredit losses is relevant. LED must recognize the $200,000 credit loss component of the OTT impairment in earnings, and the $250,000 noncredit loss component in OCI. LED records the impairment of $450,000 and reclassifies previously recognized unrealized losses of $100,000 as follows: Other-than-temporary impairment loss—I/S ....

LED still would have to include the entire $450,000 in the income statement before backing out the $250,000 to leave a $200,000 reduction of earnings. The $100,000 reclassification adjustment will increase OCI (because the $100,000 decreased OCI and therefore AOCI in a prior period, it must be backed out of OCI and AOCI in the current period). Therefore, the net effect on comprehensive income will be $350,000 during the current period ($200,000 from net income, $150,000 from OCI).

SUPPLEMENT BRIEF EXERCISES Brief Exercise 12–17 Lemp would account for the bond investment at FV-OCI because it has the characteristics of “simple” debt and is held for purposes of investment. Therefore, Lemp would report the bond in the balance sheet as an investment of $900 and include the $100 decline in fair value in OCI as a loss.

Brief Exercise 12–18 Fowler would account for the note at FV-NI because it has the characteristics of “simple” debt and Fowler is holding it for sale. Therefore, Fowler would report the note in the balance sheet as an investment of $80,000 and include the $5,000 increase in fair value in net income as a gain.

Brief Exercise 12–19 Fowler would account for the note at amortized cost, because it has the characteristics of “simple” debt and Fowler intends to hold it until it matures. Therefore, Fowler would report the note in the balance sheet as an investment of $75,000, and would not include the $5,000 increase in fair value in either OCI or net income.

Brief Exercise 12–20 Barrett would account for the equity at FV-NI because the equity investment does not qualify for the equity method. Therefore, Fowler would report the equity in the balance sheet as an investment of $80,000 and would include the $20,000 decrease in fair value in net income as a loss. The fact that Barrett expects the fair value to recover prior to sale is not relevant.

If sale before maturity isn’t an alternative, increases and decreases in the market value between the time a debt security is acquired and the day it matures to a prearranged maturity value are relatively unimportant. For this reason, if an investor has the “positive intent and ability” to hold the securities to maturity, investments in debt securities are classified as “held-to-maturity” and reported at amortized cost rather than fair value in the balance sheet.

Consequently, a debt security shall not, for example, be classified as held-to-maturity if the entity anticipates that the security would be available to be sold in response to any of the following circumstances: a. Changes in market interest rates and related changes in the security's prepayment risk b. Needs for liquidity (for example, due to the withdrawal of deposits, increased demand for loans, surrender of insurance policies, or payment of insurance claims) c. Changes in the availability of and the yield on alternative investments d. Changes in funding sources and terms e. Changes in foreign currency risk.”

Exercise 12–6 The FASB Accounting Standards Codification represents the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The specific citation for each of the following items is: 1. Unrealized holding gains for trading securities should be included in earnings: FASB ACS 320–10–35–1a: “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities— Overall—Subsequent Measurement—General.” 2. Under the equity method, the investor accounts for its share of the earnings or losses of the investee in the periods they are reported by the investee in its financial statements: FASB ACS 323–10–35–4: “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures—Overall—Subsequent Measurement—General.” 3. Transfers of securities between categories shall be accounted for at fair value: FASB ACS 320–10–35–10: “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities— Overall—Subsequent Measurement—General.” 4. Disclosures for available-for-sale securities should include total losses for securities that have net losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income: FASB ACS 320–10–50–2: “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities—Overall—Disclosure—Securities Classified as Available for Sale.”

Requirement 2 None. Accumulated net holding gains and losses for securities available-forsale are reported as a component of shareholders’ equity (in accumulated other comprehensive income), and changes in the balance are reported as other comprehensive income or loss in the statement of comprehensive income rather than as part of earnings.

Exercise 12–8 Requirement 1 Securities “held-to-maturity” are debt securities that an investor has the “positive intent and ability” to hold to maturity. Actively traded investments in debt or equity securities acquired principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as “trading securities.” The IBM shares are neither. They are classified as “available-for-sale” since all investments in debt and equity securities that don’t fit the definitions of the other reporting categories are classified this way. Of course, the equity method isn’t appropriate either because 10,000 shares of IBM certainly don’t constitute “significant influence.” Investments in securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value, and holding gains or losses are not included in the determination of income for the period. Instead, they are reported as other comprehensive income or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. This statement can be reported either (a) as a combined statement of comprehensive income that includes net income and other comprehensive income, or (b) as a separate statement of comprehensive income. Accumulated net holding gains and losses for securities available-for-sale are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in the balance sheet.

Requirement 3 When a company changes from the equity method, no adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the investment. Instead, the equity method is simply discontinued, and the new method is applied from then on. The balance in the investment account when the equity method is discontinued would serve as the new “cost” basis for writing the investment up or down to fair value in the next set of financial statements. There also would be no revision of prior years, but the change should be described in a disclosure note.

Exercise 12–20 (concluded) Requirement 2 a. December 31, 2013 effect on Buildings Because half of the fair value of Lake’s individual net assets are buildings, and Lake would be consolidated with Cameron, Cameron’s buildings account would increase by 1/2 x $450 = $225 million. Cameron would depreciate those buildings over their remaining 10-year life, so Lake would recognize $22.5 million of depreciation expense per year ($225 million ÷ 10 years). Therefore, at December 31, 2013, the buildings associated with the Lake investment would have a carrying value of $202.5 million ($225 million cost – 22.5 million accumulated depreciation). b.

December 31, 2013 effect on Land Land is not amortized, so its carrying value would not change from its value on January 1, 2013.

c.

December 31, 2013 effect on Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized, so its carrying value would not change from its value on January 1, 2013.

d.

December 31, 2013 effect on Equity method investments Because Lake would be consolidated with Cameron, there would be no effect of this investment on Cameron’s equity method investment account at December 31, 2013.

Requirement 3 The effect of the investment on Cameron’s December 31, 2013, retained earnings would not differ between the equity method and proportionate consolidation treatments. Under the equity method, Cameron would recognize investment revenue based on its share of Lake’s net income, while under proportionate consolidation, Cameron would include its share of Lake’s revenue and expenses on those lines of the consolidated income statement. Regardless, the same total amount would be included in Cameron’s net income and closed to Cameron’s retained earnings.

Note: A different approach to reach the same outcome would be for Florists to use equity method accounting throughout the year, and then at the end of the year make whatever adjustment to fair value is necessary to adjust the investment account to fair value. Under that approach, Florists would recognize 30% of Nursery’s $40 million of income ($12 million) as investment income, it would not recognize investment income associated with Nursery’s dividend, and would end up with an investment account containing $65 ($56 million + 12 million – 3 million). The company would need to make a fair value adjustment of $13 million ($65 million – 52 million). So the total amount of loss recognized would be $1 million ($12 million investment income – 13 million unrealized loss). Note that this alternative produces the same total amount of investment loss as is produced above: $1 million ($3 million investment revenue – 4 million unrealized loss). © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2013 Solutions Manual, Vol. 1, Chapter 12

100,000 100,000

Note that, when combined with the other journal entries, the net effect is that net income is decreased by $250,000, OCI is decreased by $50,000 ($150,000 – 100,000), and comprehensive income therefore is decreased by $300,000. That makes sense, because $100,000 of decrease in OCI and comprehensive income occurred in 2012, when the $100,000 unrealized loss was recognized. Scenario 3: Bloom does not plan to sell the investment, and does not believe it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the investment before fair value recovers, but the entire impairment consists of noncredit losses, so Bloom does not record any OTT impairment.

$28,000 (1,400) $26,600 (31,500) $(4,900)

If these securities had been categorized as available-for-sale, the total loss of $4,900 would have been recognized in net income. The prior year's unrealized holding loss would not have been included (recognized) in earnings (net income), but rather would have been reported as an element of other comprehensive income. A reclassification adjustment for the unrealized holding loss ($2,000) would also be included in other comprehensive income to remove it from the balance sheet and report it in income. Note: The question asks for realized loss. This is defined as the net cash proceeds from sale minus the original cost of the investment. That realized loss was recognized over two accounting periods: Year 4 (unrealized loss) and Year 5 (realized, due to sale). Be careful when answering these questions: watch for the difference between loss realized and loss recognized.

CPA Review Questions (continued) 2. a. Marketable equity securities (equity securities with readily determinable fair values) are categorized as either trading securities (which are classified as current assets) or available-for-sale securities (which are classified as current or noncurrent assets), as appropriate. Because Lark’s investments are longterm, they are categorized as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income and included in the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income reported in equity. The unrealized holding gain included in other comprehensive income for 2013 would be $60,000 ($240,000 current fair value vs. $180,000 prior period fair value). The net unrealized holding gain, included in the accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2013, is $40,000 ($60,000 current period unrealized holding gain less $20,000 prior period unrealized holding loss). Alternative calculation shown below. Net unrealized holding gains at December 31, 2013: Fair value at December 31, 2013 $240,000 Cost (200,000) Net unrealized holding gain $ 40,000 3. d. $116,250.

CPA Review Questions (continued) 4. d. Since the decline in value occurred in 2012, the available-for-sale security was reduced to fair value with a related unrealized holding loss reported in other comprehensive income in 2012. In 2013, the asset continues to be carried at the same net value but the unrealized holding loss in accumulated other comprehensive income is removed and recognized as a loss in the determination of net income since the decline is considered to be permanent. The recognition of the loss (write-down to fair value) establishes a new cost basis, which will not be changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value. However, subsequent unrealized holding gains and losses will be reported in other comprehensive income. 5. d. Neither a change in fair value of investee's common stock nor cash dividends from investee affect the investor's reported investment income (equity in earnings of investee) under the equity method. Under the equity method, cash dividends would be charged against (reduce) the investment account and have no effect on income. A change in the fair value of the investee's common stock would not be recorded under the equity method unless the change were judged a permanent and substantial decline, and then the decline would be charged to a loss account rather than investment income. These rules do not apply to investments accounted for under the equity method. 6. c. The entries should have been: Investment in affiliate (40% x 20,000) Equity in earnings of affiliate

8,000

Cash (40% x $5,000) Investment in affiliate

2,000

8,000

2,000

By erroneously recognizing the $2,000 dividend as revenue, retained earnings are overstated. The dividends should have been booked as a reduction of the investment; thus the investment is overstated.

CPA Review Questions (concluded) 7. b. Under the equity method, the investor should reflect adjustments, which would be made in consolidation, based on the investor's percentage ownership, if such adjustment (eliminations) can be recorded between investment income and the investment account. The fair value of the FIFO inventory in excess of the carrying value would reduce net income of the investee; therefore, the investor would charge investment income and credit the investment account to reflect the decrease in income. The fair value of the land in excess of its carrying value would not affect income as it is not a depreciable asset. No adjustment would be made relative to the land. 8. a. $435,000. The equity method of accounting for investments in common stock should be used if the investor has significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Well Company's significant influence is demonstrated by its officers being a majority of the investees' board of directors.

9. b. Under IFRS No. 9, debt is classified as either amortized cost or FVTPL. 10. c. Under IFRS No. 9, equity is classified as either FVTPL or FVTOCI (if not held for trading purposes and if FVTOCI treatment is elected at acquisition of the debt). 11. c. Under IFRS No. 9, equity is classified as FVTOCI if the equity is not held for trading purposes and if FVTOCI treatment is elected at acquisition of the debt. The election is irrevocable. 12. d. IAS No. 28 requires that the accounting policies of investees be adjusted to correspond to those of the investor. 13. a.

CMA Exam Questions 1. c. According to GAAP, available-for-sale securities are investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities and in equity securities with readily determinable fair values that are not classified as trading securities. They are measured at fair value in the balance sheet. 2. b. Available-for-sale securities include (1) equity securities with readily determinable fair values that are not classified as trading securities and (2) debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses are measured by the difference between the amortized cost and fair value, excluded from earnings, and reported in other comprehensive income. The balance is reported net of the tax effect (ignored in this question). Thus, the difference at May 31, year 3, is $8,005 ($643,500 fair value – 635,495 amortized cost). This unrealized gain is reported as a credit balance in accumulated other comprehensive income. 3. d. Debt securities that the company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are reported at amortized cost. Any unrealized gains or losses are not recognized.

Increases and decreases in the fair value between the time a debt security is acquired and the day it matures to a prearranged maturity value are relatively unimportant if sale before maturity isn’t an alternative. For this reason, if an investor has the “positive intent and ability” to hold the securities to maturity, investments in debt securities are classified as “held-to-maturity” and reported at amortized cost rather than fair value in the balance sheet.

Requirement 4 Fuzzy Monkey reports its investment in the December 31, 2013, balance sheet at its fair value, $70 million in this case. For investments in trading securities, changes in market values, and thus market returns, provide an indication of management’s success in deciding when to acquire the investment, when to sell it, whether to invest in fixed-rate or variable-rate securities, and whether to invest in long-term or short-term securities. To do this, we first need to determine the investment’s amortized cost (or book value) at the end of the year: Investment in bonds ............................................................ Less: Discount on bond investment ($14 – 0.10 – 0.11 million) Amortized cost ................................................................

$80.00 13.79 $66.21

Then, to record it at fair value, we increase the investment by $70 – 66.21 = $3.79 million: Fair value adjustment .............................. .......... Net unrealized holding gains and losses—I/S ($70 – 66.21)

Fuzzy Monkey would also be likely to treat the cash outflow from purchasing trading securities of $66 as an operating activities cash flow.

Because these are trading securities, the unrealized holding gain of $3.79 would be recognized in Fuzzy Monkey’s 2013 income statement. Requirement 5 Fuzzy Monkey’s 2013 statement of cash flows would be affected as follows: Operating activities cash flows: Cash inflow from interest of $3.2 + 3.2 = $6.4. (Note: if Fuzzy Monkey prepares an indirect method statement of cash flows, it would have included in net income interest revenue of $3.30 + 3.31 = $6.61 and an unrealized holding gain of $3.79, totaling $10.4, so would have to include an adjustment of $6.4 – 10.4 = ($4.0) to get from net income to the correct operating activities cash flow.) Fuzzy Monkey would also be likely to treat the cash outflow from purchasing trading securities of $66 as an operating activities cash flow. However, if Fuzzy Monkey anticipates holding these investments for a sufficiently long period, it could classify this cash outflow as an investing activities cash flow. Requirement 6 The answers to requirements 1–5 would not differ if the investment qualified for treatment as a held-to-maturity investment, because Fuzzy Monkey’s choice of the fair value option still requires reclassification of the investment as trading securities.
