EXERCISES Ex. 24-98—Segment reporting. The international Accounting Standards Board requires the reporting of disaggregated financial data about the different types of business activities in which an enterprise engages. Instructions Identify 4 of the 6 items of disaggregated information the IASB requires that an enterprise report. Solution 24-98 The IASB requires that an enterprise report the following disaggregated information: 1. General information about its operating segments. 2. Segment profit and loss and related information. 3. Segment assets and liabilities. 4. Reconciliations. 5. Information about products and services and geographic areas. 6. Major customers.

Two segments, Hotels and Grains, must be reported because they satisfy the revenue test; that is, the segment's revenues are 10% or more of the combined revenues of all operating segments. In addition, the Hotels and the Grains segments meet the 10% of the operating profit test.

Ex. 24-100—Interim reports. A few years ago, a publishing company in the fourth quarter had a net profit figure that exceeded sales for that quarter. Such a situation as this suggests that some difficult accounting issues are involved in interim reporting. Instructions (a)

What problem exists with income taxes in interim reports and how does IFRS recommend that taxes be reported? What does IFRS require?

(b)

Many academicians have attempted to predict the year's net income after the first quarter's income is reported. These attempts are generally unsuccessful, no matter how sophisticated the prediction model. What might be the reason for this inability to predict?

24 - 22 Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, IFRS Edition, 2e Solution 24-100 (a)

The basic question with income taxes is whether in the preparation of interim income statements the provision for taxes should reflect the anticipated effective tax rate for the year or be computed on the basis of actual results for that interim period. IFRS recommends that at the end of each interim period the company should make its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The rate so determined should be used in providing for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. IFRS requires that the estimated annual effective tax rate be applied to the year-to-date ordinary income at the end of each interim period to compute the year-to-date tax. Further, the interim period tax related to ordinary income shall be the difference between the amount so computed and the amounts reported for previous interim periods of the fiscal period.

(b)

The prediction models are probably unsuccessful because accountants have not treated the problem of seasonality correctly in their interim reports. The problem with the conventional approach is that fixed nonmanufacturing costs are not charged in proportion to sales. Rather, these costs are charged as incurred, or spread evenly over the four quarters. As a result, it is extremely difficult to make accurate predictions because some artificial concepts are used for matching purposes.

Ex. 24-101—Interim reports. Explain the difference between the discrete approach and the integral approach. Solution 24-101 The discrete approach holds that each interim period should be treated as a separate accounting period. Companies should report accounting transactions as they occur, and expense recognition should not change with the period of time covered. The integral approach holds that the interim report is an integral part of the annual report and that deferrals and accruals should take into consideration what will happen for the entire year. Companies should assign estimated expenses to parts of a year on the basis of sales volume or some other activity base. Ex. 24-102—Forecasts. Recent proposals by investors and others have suggested that corporations include financial forecasts in their annual reports. It further has been suggested that accountants attest to those forecasts. Instructions (a) What arguments are advanced to support the publication of such forecasts? (b) What arguments are advanced that oppose the publication of such forecasts?

Full Disclosure in Financial Reporting

24 - 23

Solution 24-102 (a)

The basic argument for the publication of financial forecasts in corporate annual reports is to provide the investor with additional information about the future activities of the company upon which to base investment decisions. A second argument is that some investors have access to the forecast data currently; it would be more equitable if all investors had access to such information. The attestation by accountants to such forecast data would provide the forecast data with reliability and permit the investor to have confidence in the forecast. A third argument is that circumstances now change so rapidly that historical information is no longer adequate for prediction.

(b)

One argument raised against the publication of such forecasts is the expectation that management would present a conservative forecast in order to “look good” when actual results of the year are in. A second point often considered is the prospect that the forecast would provide competitors with confidential information thus endangering business strategy and the performance of the firm. A third argument is that forecasts are narrow estimates, which makes them difficult to interpret given that the future is not a certainty, and as a result investors may be misled by them. The attestation by accountants also can be questioned. There may be a conflict of interest because the forecast in the current year report and the actual results of the next year are both audited by the accountant There would be concern that the reported results might be adjusted so that the forecast appears to be borne out by the actual results. Additionally, it can be questioned that the accountant has the training and qualifications to attest to forecasts. Also, the profession is hesitant to attest to forecasts until the problem of additional exposure to liability is clarified.

PROBLEMS Pr. 24-106—Segment reporting. A central issue in reporting on operating segments of a business enterprise is the determination of which segments are reportable. Instructions 1. What are the tests to determine whether or not an operating segment is reportable? 2. What is the test to determine if enough operating segments have been separately reported upon, and what is the guideline on the maximum number of operating segments to be shown?

Solution 24-106 1.

There are three basic tests to be applied to segments of a company to see if they are significant enough to be separately reportable. If a segment meets any one of the tests, it is deemed significant and reportable. The first test is based upon revenue. If a segment's revenue from sales to unaffiliated customers and intersegment sales and transfers is equal to 10 percent or more of the enterprise's combined revenues, the segment is reportable. The second test is based upon profits or losses. A segment is deemed reportable if the absolute amount of its profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of: The combined operating profit of all operating segments that did not incur a loss, or The combined loss of all operating segments that did report a loss. Third, a segment is significant and reportable if the identifiable assets of the segment equal or exceed 10 percent of the combined assets of all operating segments. Finally, all segments, whether deemed reportable or not, must be viewed from the standpoint of interperiod comparability because the primary purpose of presenting segment information is to aid the financial statement reader.

2.

The International Accounting Standards Board states that enough operating segments must be separately reported so that the total of revenues from sales to unaffiliated customers for the reportable segments equals or exceeds 75 percent of the combined sales to unaffiliated customers for the entire enterprise. If applying the prescribed tests does not yield the required percentage of revenues described above, additional segments must be reported on until the 75 percent test is met. The International Standards Board has stated that if an enterprise has many reportable segments, benefit to the reader may be lost if more than 10 segments are reported. In such a situation, the board suggests combining related reportable segments until the total is ten or fewer.

Pr. 24-107—Interim reporting. Interim financial reporting has become an important topic in accounting. There has been considerable discussion as to the proper method of reflecting results of operations at interim dates. Instructions (a) Discuss generally how revenue should be recognized at interim dates and specifically how revenue should be recognized for industries subject to large seasonal fluctuations in revenue and for long-term contracts using the percentage-of-completion method at annual reporting dates. (b)

Discuss generally how product and period costs should be recognized at interim dates. Also discuss how inventory and cost of goods sold may be afforded special accounting treatment at interim dates.

(c)

Discuss how the provision for income taxes is computed and reflected in interim financial statements.

Solution 24-107 (a)

Sales and other revenues should be recognized for interim financial statement purposes in the same manner as revenues are recognized for annual reporting purposes. This means normally at the point of sale or, in the case of services, at completion of the earnings process. In the case of industries whose sales vary greatly due to the seasonal nature of business, revenues should still be recognized as earned, but a disclosure should be made of the seasonal nature of the business in the notes. In the case of long-term contracts recognizing earnings on the percentage-of-completion basis, the current state of completion of the contract should be estimated and revenue recognized at interim dates in the same manner as at the normal year end.

(b)

For interim reporting purposes, product costs (costs directly attributable to the production of goods or services) should be matched with the product and associated revenues in the same manner as for annual reporting purposes. Period costs (costs not directly associated with the production of a particular good or service) should be charged to earnings as incurred or allocated among interim periods based on an estimate of time expired, benefit received, or other activity associated with the particular interim period(s). Also, if a gain or loss occurs during an interim period and is a type that would not be deferred at year end, the gain or loss should be recognized in full in the interim period in which it occurs. Finally, in allocating period costs among interim periods, the basis for allocation must be supportable and may not be based on merely an arbitrary assignment of costs between interim periods.

24 - 30 Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, IFRS Edition, 2e Solution 24-107 (cont.) The IASB allowed for some variances from the normal method of determining cost of goods sold and valuation of inventories at interim dates but these methods are allowable only at interim dates and must be fully disclosed in a note to the financial statements. Some companies use the gross profit method of estimating cost of goods sold and ending inventory at interim dates instead of taking a complete physical inventory. This is an allowable procedure at interim dates, but the company must disclose the method used and any significant variances that subsequently result from reconciliation of the results obtained using the gross profit method and the results obtained after taking the annual physical inventory. (c)

The Board states that the provision for income taxes shown in interim financial statements must be based upon the effective tax rate expected for the entire annual period for ordinary earnings. The effective tax rate is based on earnings for financial statement purposes as opposed to taxable income which may consider temporary differences. This effective tax rate is the income tax rate applied to expected annual earnings, taking into consideration all anticipated tax credits, foreign tax rates, percentage depletion, capital gains rates, and other available tax-planning alternatives. Ordinary earnings do not include unusual items, or discontinued operations both of which will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect in reports for the interim period or for the fiscal year. The amount shown as the provision for income taxes at interim dates should be computed on a year-to-date basis. For example, the provision for income taxes for the second quarter of a company's fiscal year is the result of applying the expected rate to year-to-date earnings and subtracting the provision recorded for the first quarter. There are several variables in this computation (expected earnings may change; tax rates may change), and the year-to-date method of computation provides the only continuous method of approximating the provision for income taxes at interim dates. However, if the effective rate or expected annual earnings change between interim periods, the change is not reflected retroactively but the effect of the change is absorbed in the current interim period.
