equipment or to purchase new, more efficient,
and productive equipment.
o Cash may be reinvested in the company to
expand its current operations.

checking account, most companies invest this
cash in securities such as:

pay interest and have a fixed maturity date.

common stock that represent ownership in a
company and do not have a fixed maturity date.

termed Investments, or Temporary Investments,
and are reported in the Current Assets section
of the balance sheet.

SUMMARY
SUMMARY

Fair Value Accounting
o Fair value is the price that would be received
for selling an asset or paying off a liability.
o Fair value assumes that the asset is sold or the
liability is paid off under normal rather than
distressed conditions.
Trends to Fair Value Accounting
o A current trend for the FASB and other
accounting regulators is to adopt accounting
principles using fair values for valuing and
reporting assets and liabilities.
Trends to Fair Value Accounting
o
Factors contributing to this trend include the
following:
 Current generally accepted accounting principles
are a hybrid of varying measurement methods
that often conflict with one other.
 A greater percentage of the total assets of many
companies consists of financial assets such as
receivables and securities.
 The world economy has created pressure on
accounting regulators to adopt a worldwide set of
accounting principles and standards.
Trend to Fair Value Accounting
o Potential disadvantages of using fair values:
 Fair values may not be readily obtainable for some
assets or liabilities.
 Fair values make it more difficult to compare
companies if companies use different methods of
measuring fair values.
 Using fair values could result in more fluctuations in
accounting reports because fair values change from
year to year.
Statement Effect of Fair Value Accounting
 Balance Sheet. When an asset or liability is reported
at its fair value, any difference between the asset’s
original cost or prior period’s fair value must be
recorded.
 Balance Sheet. The unrealized gain or loss on
changes in fair value must also be recorded. One
method reports these as part of stockholders’ equity
on the balance sheet.
(continued)
Statement Effect of Fair Value Accounting
o Income Statement. Instead of recording the
unrealized gain or loss on changes in fair
values as part of stockholders’ equity, the
unrealized gains or losses may be reported on
the income statement.

Comprehensive Income
o Comprehensive income is defined as all
changes in stockholders’ equity during a
period, except those resulting from dividends
and stockholders’ investments.
Comprehensive Income
o Other comprehensive income items include
unrealized gains and losses on available-forsale securities as well as other items such as
foreign currency and pension liability
adjustments.
o The cumulative effect of other comprehensive
income is reported on the balance sheet, as
accumulated other comprehensive income.
Comprehensive Income
o Companies may report comprehensive income
in the financial statements as follows:
 On the income statement
 In a separate statement of comprehensive income
 In the statement of stockholders’ equity
