Financial accounting 1 Summary
1. ASC- accounting is a service activity. Its function is to provide quantitative information primarily financial in
nature that is intended to be useful in making economic decisions.
2. AICPA- accounting is the ART of recording, classifying, summarizing(RCS--communication process)
3. AAA(statement of basic accounting theory)- PROCESS of identifying, measuring, communicating(IMC)
4. Identifying as the analytical component
5. Measuring as the technical component
6. Communicating as the formal component
7. In order to be identifiable, a certain event must be quantifiable or expressed in terms of a unit of measure. It
must have an effect on Assets, Liabilties, OE.
8. External transaction is also known as exchange transaction which involves 2 entities. Example is payment of
salaries to employees.
9. Internal transaction- production and casualty loss(unanticipated losses, act of god)
10. Accounting is the language of business because of the communication process.
11. Classifying- is accomplished by posting to the ledger
12. Summarizing- preparation of FS.
13. Accountant’s primary task is to supply financial information to statement users so that they could make
informed judgment and better decision.
14. Rep. Act 9298- Philippine accountancy act of 2004 regulates the practice of accountancy in the Phil.
15. BOA- body authorized by law to promulgate rules and regulations affecting the practice of the accountancy
profession
16. Certificate of registration shall be issued if the registrant has acquired a minimum of 3 years of meaningful
experience in any areas of public practice including taxation. It will be valid for 3 years, renewable every 3
years upon payment of required fees.
17. Management advisory services- business conduct and operations
18. Controller is the highest accounting officer
19. Accounting is essentially constructive in nature
20. Auditor examines FS to ascertain whether they are in conformity with GAAP.
21. GAAP is a social process.
22. Development of GAAP is formalized initially through the creation of ASC. The accounting standards
promulgated by the ASC constitute the GAAP.
23. SFAS is now known as PAS and PFRS
24. Accounting standards-proper accounting practice. It creates common understanding.
25. FRSC replaces ASC
26. FRSC is the accounting standard setting body created by PRC upon recommendation of BOA to assist the
BOA in carrying out its powers and functions provided under RA 9298. Main function is to esbalish and
improve accounting standards that will be generally accepted in the Phil.
27. FRSC is composed of 15 members with a chairman who had been or is presently a senior accounting
practitioner. 2 members from Public practice, commerce and industry, academe, government.
28. The counterpart of PIC is the IFRIC in UK
29. IASC- improvement, harmonization and worldwide acceptance and observance of accounting standards
30. IASB replaces IASC. It is a global phenomenon intended to bring about great transparency and a higher
degree of comparability in financial reporting; one uniform and globally accepted financial reporting standard
31. Accounting assumptions- serve as the foundation or bedrock of accounting to avoid misunderstanding.
Known as postulates.
32. Accounting/fiscal period- 12months
33. Fiscal period could either be calendar or natural. If calendar, ends on dec. 31. if natural, ends on any month
when the business is at the lowest or experiencing slack season.
Financial accounting 1 Summary
34. Monetary Unit has 2 aspects, quantifiability and stability of peso(current replacement cost is ignored).
Sometimes, it is not necessarily valid that peso is stable since there may be instances wherein there is a
considerable gap between historical and current replacement cost. Entity should therefore choose whether cost
model or revaluation model they will apply to their entire class of PPE.
35. Framework for FS is promulgated by the IASB
36. Framework is the underlying theory for the development of accounting standards and revision of previously
issued accounting standards. Assists FRSC, preparers of FS, users and auditors
37. Framework excludes special-purpose report such as prospectuses and tax computation
38. FS largely portray the financial effects of past events and do not necessarily provide nonfinancial
information. It shows the result of the stewardship of management or the accountability of management for the
resources entrusted to it.
39. Management has the primary responsibility for the preparation of FS.
40. Capacity for adaption or financial flexibility- using the entity’s available cash for unexpected requirements
and investment opportunities. It is may be accomplished through raising cash at a short notice through
borrowing, sale of securities, disposal of assets without disrupting normal operations
41. Accounting concepts:
a. Entity theory= A=L+C (income statement)
b. Proprietary= A-L=C
(statement of FP)
c. Residual equity= A-L-preference/OS=C
d. Fund Theory= Fund= Cash inflows-cash outflows (custody and administration of funds)
42. Financial reporting= provision of financial information about an entity to external users. Not just financial
statements but also other means of communicating information. It includes non-financial information.
43. Financial reporting objectives:
a. provide information useful in investment, credit, and similar decision
b. cash flow prospects
c. resources and claims to those resources and changes in them.
44. Four principal qualitative characteristics:
a. relevance
b. reliability
c. understandability
d. comparability
45. relevance and reliability relate to content and are primary qualities.
46. understandability and comparability relate to presentation and are secondary characteristics.
47. Relevance is affected by its nature and materiality. It helps users form predictions and confirmations or
revision to their expectation.
48. Ingredients of relevance are:
a. Predictive value
b. feedback value
c. Timeliness
49. Reliability ingredients:
a. Faithful representation-actual effects of transaction should be properly accounted for and reported
b. Substance over formc. Neutrality
d. Conservatism or prudence
e. Completeness- Standard of adequate disclosure(notes to FS)
50. Understandability- Users are assumed to have a reasonable knowledge of the economic activities and
accounting and a willingness to study the information with reasonable diligence
51. Accounting constraints:
a. Timeliness
b. Cost-benefit
Financial accounting 1 Summary
c. Materiality
d. Balance between relevance and reliability
52. Materiality- doctrine of convenience. Quantitative threshold
53. An example of trade-off between relevance and reliability is when entity reports quoted equity
instruments at
54. . Information is relevant but not reliable. On the other hand, if entity reports an instrument at cost,
information is reliable but may not be relevant.
54. Installment method- revenue is recognized at the point of collection. Revenue is determined by multiplying
the gross profit by amount of collection
55. Immediate recognition of expense- reflects conservatism or prudence. Revenue expenditure
56. Financial performance is determined using 2 approaches:
a. capital maintenance- net income occurs if capital is maintained(single entry)
b. transaction approach- traditional preparation of income statement
57. 2 concepts of capital maintenance:
a. financial capital- based on historical host
b. physical capital-current cost
Cash and cash equivalents
1. Cash not just include currency and coins but also those that are acceptable by bank for deposit or
immediate encashment such as checks, bank drafts and money orders.
2. Cash is measured at face value. Cash in foreign currency is measured at current exchange rate
3. If the financial institution holding the funds of an entity is in bankruptcy or financial difficulty, cash
should be written down to estimated realizable value if the amount recoverable is estimated to be lower
than face value
4. excess cash should be invested in revenue-earning investment
5. deposits in foreign investment which are subject to foreign exchange restriction, if material, should be
classified separately among noncurrent assets and the restriction clearly indicated.
6. Details comprising cash and cash equivalents should be disclosed in the notes to financial statements
7. the credit balance in the cash in bank account results from the issuance of checks in excess of the
deposits—overdraft
8. Overdraft is not permitted in the Philippines
9. if entity maintains two or more accounts in one bank and one account results in an overdraft, such
overdraft can be offset against the other bank account with debit balance in order to show, cash, net of
bank overdraft
10. An overdraft can also be offset against the other bank account if the amount is immaterial
11. if the deposit is legally restricted because of a formal compensating balance agreement, the
compensating balance is classified separately as “cash held as compensating balance” under current
assets if the related loan is short term, otherwise, it is classified as noncurrent investment
12. In banking practice, checks become stale if not encashed within 6months from the time of issuance
13. if stale check is immaterial, it is simply accounted for as a miscellaneous income.
Cash
Miscellaneous Income
14. If material and liability is expected to continue, cash is restored and liability is again set up
15. Cash short/over
Due from cashier
Loss from cash shortage
Cash
Cash short/over
Cash short/over
16. cash short/over account is a temporary account. When we already know the cause of such shortage or
overage, we then cancel d cash short/over account and replace it with the “real cause”.
17. Imprest system- system of control of cash which requires that all cash receipts should be deposited intact
and all cash disbursement should be made by means of check.
Financial accounting 1 Summary
18. In imprest system, payment of expenses requires no formal entries. Petty cashier generally requires a
signed petty cash voucher for such payments and prepares memo entry in the petty cash journal.
19. Petty cash disbursement should be replenished only by means of check and not from undeposited
collection
20. If not replenished, the entry is to state the correct cash fund is:
expenses
petty cash fund
21. Under fluctuating fund system, checks drawn to replenish the fund do not necessarily equal the petty
cash disbursement. Expenses are immediately recorded and PCF fluctuates from to time.
Accounts Receivable
1. Account receivable is an open account not supported by a promissory note. Also known as trade debtors
2. advances to affiliates are usually treated as a long-term investment
3. Creditors’ accounts with debit balances are classified as current assets.
4. Special deposits on contract bids normally are classified as other noncurrent assets
5. Financial assets shall be recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition. Fair value is usually the transaction price , fair value of the consideration
given
6. AR is subsequently measured at net realizable value or estimated recoverable amount
7. assets shall not be carried at above their recoverable amount
8. freight collect means freight charge on the goods shipped is not yet paid. Buyer pays for it
9. freight prepaid is already paid by the seller

16. if granting of credit and collection of accounts are under the charge of the sales manager, doubtful
accounts shall be considered as distribution cost. If under an officer, it is administrative expense. In the
absence to the contrary it is admin expense.
Loan receivable
1. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the loan receivable include direct origination cost.
2. direct origination cost is an origination fee not chargeable against the borrower

Receivable financing
1. Financial flexibility or capability of an entity to raise money out of its receivables
2. Assignment of accounts receivable is transferring some of the rights in AR to a lender called the assignee
in consideration for a loan. It is formal, evidenced by a financing agreement and a promissory note both of
which the assignor assigns.
3. Pledging is general because all AR serve as collateral for the loan.
4. in Nonnotification basis, customers are not informed that that their accounts have been assigned. As a
result, they continue to make payments to the assignor, who in turn remits collection to the assignee. In
notification basis, customers are notified to make their payments directly to the assignee.
5. Assignee lends only a certain percentage of the face value of the accounts assigned because the assigned
accounts may not be fully realized by reason of such factors as sales discount, sales return, and allowances
and uncollectible accounts.]

14. When a note is negotiable, the payee may obtain cash before maturity date by discounting the note at a
bank or other financing company. Payee then becomes an endorser and the bank becomes the endorsee
15. Endorsement may be with recourse which means that the endorser shall pay the endorsee if the maker
dishonors the note. This is the contingent or secondary liability of the endorser; or it could be without
recourse which means that the endorser avoids future liability even if the maker refuses to pay the endorsee
on the date of maturity. In the absence to the contrary, endorsement is assumed to be with recourse.

Inventories
1. Inventories are assets which are held for sale in the ordinary course of business, in the process of
production for such a sale or in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the
production process or in the rendering of services
2. FOB destination and shipping point determine ownership of goods and the party who is
supposed to pay the freight charge
3. freight collect and freight prepaid determine the party who actually paid the freight charge.
4. FAS- free alongside. Seller bears all expenses and risk in delivering the goods to the dock. The
nuyer bears the cost of loading and shipment and thus, title passes to the buyer when the carrier
takes possession of the goods.
5. Consigned goods are recorded by the consignor by means of memorandum entry
6. Inventories shall be presented as one line item but the details of the inventories shall be disclosed
in the notes to FS—finished goods, goods in process, raw materials, and manufacturing supplies.
7. Inventory shortage is usually closed to cost of goods sold because this often the result of normal
shrinkage. If abnormal and material, shortage shall be separately classified and presented as
other expense.
8. Net method( if the discount period has expired):
Purchase discount lost
AP
9. gross method is more practical than net method. Net method has theoreticall correct historical
cost
10. Cost if inventories:
a. cost of purchase
b. cost of conversion
c. other cost in bring the inventories to their present location and condition.
11. Cost of purchase includes purchase price, import duties, irrecoverable taxes, freight, handling
and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services.
12. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the cost of
purchase
13. When inventories are purchased with deferred settlement terms, the difference between the
purchase price for normal credit terms and the amount paid is recognized as interest expense
over the period of financing.
Financial accounting 1 Summary
14. Storage costs on goods in process are capitalized but storage costs on finished goods are
expensed.
15. Abnormal amounts are expensed.
16. Cost of inventories of a service provider consists primarily of the labor and other costs of
personnel directly engaged in providing the service, including supervisory personnel and
attributable overhead
Inventory valuation
1. Weighted average perpetual or moving average method- new weighted average unit cost must be
computed after every purchase.
2. Inventory valuation in moving average involves early purchases
3. Lifo perpetual and periodic differ in inventory value
4. Moving average unit cost changes everytime there is a new purchase or a purchase return. It is
not affected by a sale or a sale return
5. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business less
estimated cost of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
6. Inventories are usually written down to NRV on an item by item or individual basis. It is not
appropriate to write down inventories based on a classification of inventory
7. Direct method- inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or NRV. Any loss on inventory
writedown is not accounted for separately but buried in the cost of goods sold

materials and supplies, labor, efficiency and capacity utilization. It may be used for convenience
if the results approximates cost.
Financial accounting 1 Summary
9. When different commodities are purchased at a lumpsum, the single cost is apportioned among
the commodities based on their relative sales price. Cost is proportionate to selling price.
10. Purchase commitments are obligations of the entity to acquire certain goods sometime in the
future at a fixed price and fixed quantity. Purchase contract has already been made for future
delivery of goods fixed in price and in quantity.
11. Recognition of loss on purchase commitment is an adaptation of the measurement at the lower of
cost or NRV

12. Agricultural, forest and mineral products are measured at NRV at certain stages of production.
This occurs when agricultural crops have been harvested and a sale is assured under a forward
contract or a government guarantee, or when a homogeneous market exists and there is a
negligible risk of failure to sell.
13. Commodities of broker-traders are measured at fair value less cost to sell.
14. Inventories of broker-traders are principally acquired with the purpose of selling them in the
near future and generating a profit from fluctuations in price.
15. The amount of inventories recognized as an expense during the period is disclosed.
Biological Assets
1. Pas 41 shall be applied to account for the biological assets, agricultural produce, government grant
related to a biological asset when they relate to agricultural activity.
2. PAS41 is applied to agricultural produce at the point of harvest.Thereafter, PAS2 on inventories
shall be applied
3. PAS41 does not deal with the processing of agricultural produce after harvest. Processing of
grapes into wine is covered by PAS2.
4. Biological assets are living animals and plants
5. Agricultural produce is the harvested product of an entity’s biological assets.
6. Measurement of products after harvest is covered by PAS2
Financial accounting 1 Summary
7. agricultural activity- management of an entity of the biological transformation and harvest of
biological assets for sale or for conversion into agricultural produce or into additional biological
assets. Includes raising livestock, annual or perennial cropping, cultivating, floriculture
8. Harvesting from unmanaged sources, such as ocean fishing and deforestation is not agricultural
activity
9. Features of agricultural activity are: management of change (nutrient levels, moisture) and
measurement of change.
10. Biological transformation comprises the processes of growth, degeneration, agricultural produce
and procreation that cause qualitative or quantitative changes in a biological assets
11. Procreation- creation of additional living animal or plant
12. Biological asset shall be measured on initial recognition and at the end of each reporting period at
fair value less costs to sell
13. Agricultural produce at fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest
14. Costs to sell include costs that are necessary for a sale to occur, such as commissions to brokers
and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies, commodity exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties.
Excludes transportation costs, finance costs, and income taxes.
15. On initial recognition, market determined prices are not available or estimates of fair value are
determined to be clearly unreliable. In such a case, the biological asset shall be measured at cost
less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. The entity shall measure the
biological asset at fair value less costs to sell once the FV becomes clearly measurable.
16. In all cases, entity shall measure agricultural produce at the point of harvest at fair value less cost
to sell. Can always be measured reliably.
17. Active market: (a) The items traded within the market are homogeneous, meaning similar or
identical in nature or form (b)willing buyers and sellers (c)prices are available at the market
18. A loss may arise on initial recognition of a biological asset because costs to sell are deducted in

24. An unconditional government grant related to a biological asset that has been measured at fair
value less costs to sell shall be recognized as income when the grant becomes receivable.
25. If conditional, the grant shall be recognized as income only when conditions attaching to the grant
are met.
26. If a government grant relates to a biological asset measured at cost less any depreciation and
impairment, PAS20 on government grant is applied.

Inventory estimation
1. there are two methods for approximating inventory: gross profit method and retail
2. Sales discount and sales allowance are not included in the computation of net sales as this
would create an ending inventory
3. In sales allowance , there is no physical transfer of goods from the customer but a mere
reduction in the sales price.

Financial asset at fair value
1. Investment are assets not directly identified with the operating activities of an entity and
occupy only an auxiliary relationship to the central revenue producing activities of the entity
Financial accounting 1 Summary
2. Investments are held for (1)accretion of wealth(interest, rentals), (2)capital appreciation,
(3)ownership control, (4)meeting business requirement( noncurrent fund), (5)protection( cash
surrender value)
3. characteristics of Financial instrument: (1) contract (2)at least two parties (3)financial asset of
1 party and a financial liability or equity instrument of another party
4. Examples are: cash in the form of notes and coins. Cash in the form of checks
5. Gold is a commodity and therefore not a financial asset
6. Financial asset: (1) cash (2)contractual right to receive cash or other financial asset from other
entity (3) contractual right to exchange financial instrument with another entity under
conditions that are potentially favorable (4) equity instrument of another eentity
7. stock option is an example of a favorable condition held by the holder to purchase shares of
another entity at less than market price.
8. Stock option is a financial liability of the issuer.
9. Delivery of goods or services in the future is not a financial liability. It must involve cash or
other financial asset and must be contractual to qualify so.
10. Constructive obligations do not arise from contracts.
11. equity instruments: (1) OSC (2) PSC (3) Warrants or call options
12. Mandatory redeemable preference share is a financial liability. Accordingly, dividends paid to
holders is an interest as component of finance cost
13. financial assets at fair value include both equity securities and debt securities while financial
assets at amortized cost include only debt securities
14. Fair value through profit/loss:
a. Trading securities
b. Financial assets designated on initial recognition as at fair value through profit/loss
Like investment in bonds and other debt instruments
c. Investments in quoted equity instruments ( by consequence)
15. In financial assets held for trading, transaction costs are expensed outright
16. Transaction costs do not include debt premiums or discounts, financing costs and internal and
administrative or holding costs
17. Financial assets held for trading are derivatives and not an effective hedging instrument.
18. At initial recognition, an entity shall measure a financial asset at fair value plus, in the case of
financial asset not at fair value, transaction costs. In subsequent measurement, an entity shall
choose between fair value and amortized cost.
19. Disclosure of the cost of security is necessary
20. Notes to FS shall disclose the individual securities with their corresponding carrying amount
and market value
21. Cumulative unrealized loss/gain is shown in the statement of changes in equity
22. Unrealized loss/gain may be transferred to retained earnings but not subsequently transferred
to profit/loss
23. The entity shall disclose the change in business novel as this is a significant and demonstrable
event.
24. For financial assets measured at fair value, all gains and losses are either presented in profit or
loss or in other comprehensive income. It is not necessary therefore to assess financial assets
measured at fair value for impairment.
25. Only financial assets at amortized cost is tested for impairment.
26. IASB rejected totally the tainting provision in PAS 39
27. PFRS 9 amended PAS 1 to require an entity to present as a separate line item in the income
statement all gains and losses from the derecognition of financial assets measured at amortized
cost.

6. When liquidating dividends exceed the cost of investment, the difference is credited to gain on
investment. If the cost of investment is not fully recovered, the balance is written off as a loss.
7. Stock dividends are in the form of the issuing entity’s own shares. The IAS term for stock
dividend is bonus issue. Property dividends are shares of another entity declared as dividends
8. Stock dividends- changing the legal capital by capitalizing RE. Not an income since there is no
distribution of assets.
9. Received 2,000 shares representing 20% stock dividend on 10,000 original shares held. Shares
now held, 12,000 shares.
10. Shareholders may receive a stock dividend which is different from the original shares
11. Investment in preference share 50,000
Investment in OS
50,000
the allocated cost to OS is 750,000 based on its relative fair value. 50,000 to preference share. Total cost
is 800,000
11. Shares received in lieu of cash dividend are income at fair value of the shares received . Such
shares are in effect property dividends.
12. If there is no market value, dividend income is recorded at cash dividend
13. The “as if approach” is used when 150,000 cash is received in lieu of 1,000 stock dividend
declared. It is then assumed that the shares are received and subsequently sold at the cash
received. the original cost of 1,100,000 will now apply to 11,000 shares and so, the revised
cost per share would then be 100.

15, In split up, outstanding shares are called in, and replaced by a larger number, with the effect of
increasing the no.of shares and decreasing the par value per share.
16. Received 20,000 new shares as a result of 2-for-1 split of 10,000 original shares.
Financial accounting 1 Summary
17. Special assessments are addi.tional capital contribution of the shareholders. On the part of the
shareholders, special assessments are recorded as additional cost of the investment and on the part of the entity
as share premium
Investment in ES
Cash
17. Stock right is inherent in every share. Its purpose is to give the shareholders the chance to
preserve their equity interest in the corporation
18. If stock rights are accounted for separately, carrying amount of the original investment in ES is
allocated to the stock rights at an amount equal to the fair value of the stock rights at the time of
acquisition.
19. Under PAS 39, embedded derivative shall be separated from the host contract. While under
PFRS 9, if the host contract is a financial asset, the embedded derivative isn’t separated.
20. The shares are selling right-on if it is between the date of declaration and date of record. Same
as in dividend-on. No accounting problem is encountered because stock rights are not yet
received.
21. If between record date and expiration date, the shares are selling ex-right so it can now be sold
separate from the right.
22. Accounted for separately:
Stock rights(at FV)
IES
*if stock rights do not have a fair value, the theoretical or parity value of the stock rights is used
in measuring the fair value of stock rights.
23. When stock rights are exercised, the cost of the new investment includes the subscription price
and the cost of the stock rights exercised.

method.
Investment in Associate
Financial accounting 1 Summary
1. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the
investee but not control or joint control over those policies.
2. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits
from its activities
3. Associate includes unincorporated entity such as partnership. It must not a subsidiary nor an interest in a
joint venture
4. Subsidiary is controlled by a parent
5. Potential voting right is considered in assessing whether an entity has significant influence. However,
the investor’s share of profit/loss of the investee is determined on the basis of present ownership interest
and does not reflect the possible exercise or conversion of potential voting rights
6. The loss of significant influence can occur with or without change in the absolute or relative ownership
interest. This is so when an associate becomes subject to control of a government, court, administrator,
regular, or by contractual agreement
7. Equity method is adopted when the investor has a significant influence over the investee
8. Under the equity method, investment is initially recorded at cost but it is subsequently increased by the
net income and decreased by the net loss and dividend payments of the investee
9. Investment must be in ordinary shares. If it is in preference, equity method is abandoned because
preference share is a nonvoting equity
10. Investment in preference share may be accounted for as fair value through profit or loss or at fair value
through other comprehensive income
11. Investment in associate is a noncurrent asset
12. Investment in associate(20% of reported income)
Investment income
Loss on investment
Investment in assoc.
13. Under equity method, cash dividend is not an income but a return of investment
14. If the assets are fairly valued, accountants frequently attribute the excess of cost over book value to
goodwill
15. If the excess is attributable to land, it is not amortized because the land is nondepreciable
16. If the excess is attributable to inventory, the amount is expensed when the inventory is already sold.
17. If it is attributable to goodwill, it is not amortized but the entire investment in associate is tested for
impairment at the end of each reporting period. Goodwill is included in the carrying amount.
18. If the fair value of equipment is 2,000,000 greater than its carrying amount, the investor should decrease
its investment income by 80,000(2M/5 x 20%) since the investee’s income is overstated by 400,000 by
the unrecorded depreciation of 400,000(2M/5). The share in loss of the investor is equal 20 percent of
400,000.

19. under equity method, if an investor’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds the carrying
amount of an investment, investor discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. The investment is
reported at nil or zero value
20. The carrying amount of the investment in associate also includes other-long term interests in an
associate, such as long-term receivables, loans and advances. However, trade receivables and any longterm receivables for which adequate collateral exists, such as secured loans, are excluded from the
carrying amount of the investment in associate
21. If the associate subsequently reports income, the investor resumes including its share of such income
after its share of income equals the share of losses not recognized.
22. The recoverable amount is measured as the higher between fair value less costs to sell and value in use
23. The recoverable amount is assessed for each individual associate, unless an individual associate does not
generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of those from other assets of the
reporting entity
24. When an associate has outstanding cumulative preference share, the investor shall compute its share of
earnings or losses after deducting the preference dividends, whether or not such dividends are declared.
25. When an associate has outstanding noncumulative preference share , the investor shall compute its share
of earnings after deducting the preference dividends only when declared.
26. when the reporting dates of the investor and the investee are different, the associate shall prepare for the
use of the investor, financial statements as of the same date as the financial statements of the investor,
unless it is impracticable to do so. In any case, the difference between the reporting date of the associate
and that of the investor shall be no more than 3 months
27. If an associate uses accounting policies other than those of the investor, adjustments shall be made to
conform the associate accounting policies to those of the investor.
28. Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between an investor and an
associate are recognized in the investor’s financial statements only to the extent of the unrelated
investors’ interests in the associate . the investor’s share in the associate’s profits and losses resulting
from these transactions is eliminated.
29. Significant influence must be lost before the equity method ceases to be applicable
30. Sale of 20,000 shares out of 30,000, resulting to a loss of significant influence:

32. Equity method is not applicable if:
a. investment is classified as held for sale
b. Investors debt and equity instruments are not traded in a public market, meaning stock
exchange or over the counter market
c. The investor did not file or it is not in the process of filing its financial statements with
the SEC for the purpose of issuing any class of instruments in a public market
d. The ultimate or any intermediate parent of the investor produces consolidated financial
statements available for the public use that comply with the PFRS.
33. Investment in associate is classified as held for sale, it is accounted for in accordance with PFRS 5. Any
noncurrent asset classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair
value less costs to sell
34. Investment in unquoted equity does not share in the profit or loss of the investee because this method is
based on the legal relationship between the investor and the investee. Investor and the investee are
independent of each other. Does not share in income of investee. Dividends received is recorded as an
income. Nonmarketable
35. If it is marketable, FV is usually used
36. If retained earnings is 4,000,000 and the investee paid 4,500,000, there is no longer a return of
investment. The entry is, debit cash credit dividend income for 4,500,000. No distinction between
preacquisition and postacquisition
37. Investment in associate achieved in stages- subsequent acquisitions increase the ownership interest to
20% or more.

Financial accounting 1 Summary
6. Investment in convertible bonds can be classified as financial assets measured at fair value
7. Nominal or coupon rate or stated rate.
8. Effective yield or market rate is actual or true rate of interest which the bondholders earns on the
investment
Investment property
1. Only land and buildings can qualify as investment property. An equipment or any movable property
cannot.
2. An investment property is not held:
a. For use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.
b. For sale in the ordinary course of the business
3. If the property is held by the owner or lessee under a finance lease for administration it is known as
owner-occupied property.
4. Investment property generates cash flows that are largely independent of the other assets of the entity.
This is the characteristic that distinguishes investment property from owner occupied. The generation of
profit is not merely due to administration but also to the other assets used in the production. The owneroccupied indirectly help or is just necessary to produce profit. Not an independent cash-generating unit.
5. Examples of investment property:
a. Long-term capital appreciation
b. Land held for a currently undetermined use.
c. Bldg owned and leased out under an operating lease.
d. Building that is vacant but is held to be leased out under an operating lease
e. Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as an investment property.
Not considered an investment property:
1. Owner-occupied
2. Property held for future use as owner-occupied
3. Property held for future development and subsequent use as owner-occupied
4. Property occupied by employees, whether or not the employees pay rent at markrt rate
5. Owner-occupied property awaiting disposal
6. Property held for sale in the ordinary course of business
7. Property being constructed or developed on behalf of third parties
8. Property that is leased to another entity under a finance lease.
6. Property interest that is held by a lessee under an operating lease may be classified and accounted for as
investment property provided:
a. Property meets the definition of investment property
b. Operating lease is accounted for as if it were a finance lease.
c. The lessee uses the fair value model in measuring property interest
7. where a property held under a lease is classified as an investment property, the initial cost is the lower
amount between fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments
8. If in the property, portions could be sold or leased out separately, an entity shall account the portions
separately as investment property and owner-occupied. If cannot be sold separately, property is
investment property if only an insignificant portion is held for manufacturing or admin
9. Classification of property whether owner-occupied or investment property depends upon the
significance of service. Example is an entity owns and manages hotel. The services provided to guests
are a significant component of the arrangement as a whole. Therefore, it is owner-occupied.
Financial accounting 1 Summary
10. Property leased to an affiliate- from the perspective of the individual entity that owns it, the property
leased to subsidiary or parent is considered an investment property. From the perspective of a group as a
whole and for purposes of consolidated FS, it is owner-occupied
11. Investment property shall be measured initially at its cost. Transaction costs shall be included in the
initial measurement
12. The cost of purchased investment property comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable
expenditure
13. The cost of self-constructed investment property is its cost at the date when the construction or
development is complete
14. If payment is deferred, its cost is the cash price equivalent. The difference between this amount and total
absolute payment is recognized a interest expense over the credit period—amortized
15. The cost of investment property acquired in exchange is measured at fair value of the asset given up
unless the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance
16. Entity shall choose between fair value and cost. If cost is chosen, it is carried at cost less any
accumulated depreciation and impairment. Fair value is disclosed. However, when property interest held
under operating lease and classified as an investment property, the fair value model shall be applied.
17. fair value of investment property shall reflect market conditions at the end of reporting period. Fair
value is time-specific as of a given date because market conditions change. Valuation shall take place at
every end of reporting period.
18. Equipment such as lift or air-conditioning is often an integral part of a building and is generally included
in the fair value of the investment property
19. If an office is leased on a furnished basis, the fair value of office generally includes the fair value of the
furniture because the rental income relates to the furnished office. Fair value excludes prepaid or
accrued operating lease income.
20. The best evidence of fair value of investment property is the current price in an active market for similar
property in the same location and condition and subject to similar lease and other contract. In the
absence of current price:
a. Current price in an active market for property of different nature, condition and location adjusted
to reflect those changes.
b. Recent price of similar property in less active market with adjustments to reflect changes in
economic conditions
c. Discounted cash flow projection based on reliable estimate of future cash flows supported by the
terms of existing lease and other contract and by external evidence such as current market rent
for similar property in the same location and condition
21. If the fair value cannot be determined reliably on a continuing basis, cost method is used and the
residual value of the investment property shall be assumed to be zero
22. Pas40 states that an entity that uses the fair value model shall continue to measure its other investment
property at fair value, notwithstanding the fact that one investment property is carried using cost due to
exceptional cases
23. If fair value is used, No depreciation is recorded
24. When entity uses the cost model, transfers between investment property, owner-occupied and inventory
shall be made at carrying amount
25. A transfer from investment property at fair value to owner-occupied or inventory, shall be accounted for
at fair value which becomes the deemed cost for subsequent accounting
26. If owner-occupied is transferred to investment property that is to be carried at fair value, the difference
between fair value and the carrying amount of the property shall be accounted for as revaluation of
property, plant and equipment.
27. if an inventory is transferred to investment property that is to be carried at fair value, the remeasurement
to fair value shall be included in profit or loss.
Financial accounting 1 Summary
28. When an investment property under construction is completed and to be carried at fair value, the
difference between fair value and carrying amount shall be included in profit or loss.
An investment property shall be derecogonizedL
A. On disposal
B. When the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use.
C. When no future economic benefits are expected from the investment property
Gain or loss from the disposal of investment property shall be determined as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and shall be derecognized in profit or loss
Compensation from third parties for investment property that was impaired, lost or given up shall be
derecognized in profit or loss when the compensation becomes receivable.
General disclosures:
1. Whether the entity uses the cost model or fair value of measuring the investment property
2. The amount of rental income for the period along with the related expense.
3. Restrictions on the investment property either through rental or sale proceeds.
4. Contractual obligations to purchase or construct investment property
If the fair value is used:
1. Detailed reconciliation, showing all the movements between the carrying amount of investment
property at the beginning and end of the period
2. The method of determining the fair value of investment property and whether the valuation is carried
out by an independent qualified valuer.
3. Net gains or losses from fair value adjustments
4. whether significant fixtures, such as lift and office furnitures, within an investment property, have
been separately recognized
When the cost model:
 The depreciation method or rate and the useful life
 Detailed reconciliation of the gross cost of the investment property and the related accumulated
depreciation showing all the movements during the year
 fair value of the investment property where possible. If it is not possible, such fact shall be
explained.
Fund and other investments
1. Fund is defined as cash and other assets set aside for a specific purpose either by reason of the action
of management or by virtue of a contract or legal requirement. It may be form of cash, securities,

3. Contingency fund is set aside for the purpose of meeting obligations that may arise from
contingencies like pending lawsuits or taxes in dispute
4. If the beneficiary is other than the entity itself, payment for the premium is simply charged to
insurance expense
5. Life insurance policy has cash surrender value and loan value.
6. Cash surrender value is the amount which the insurance firm will pay upon the surrender and
cancellation of the life insurance policy. It is a noncurrent investment. Prerequisites are that:
Financial accounting 1 Summary
a. Policy is life insurance
b. Premiums for three full years must have been paid
c. Policy is surrendered at the end of the third year or anytime thereafter
7. Loan value is the amount an insured can borrow from the insurance firm with the cash surrender
value as a collateral security. When an amount is borrowed from the insurance entity, it is treated as
an ordinary obligation. It shall not be deducted from the cash surrender value for financial statement
purposes.
8. The cash surrender value of life insurance policy arises from the fact that the fixed annual premium
is much in excess of the annual risk during the earlier years of the policy, such excess made
necessary in order to balance the deficiency of the same premium to meet the annual risk during the
later years of the policy. Such excess in the premium paid over the annual cost of insurance, with
accumulated interest constitutes the cash surrender the value
9. Policy year coincides with accounting year

DERIVATIVES
1. Entity use derivative financial instruments(hedging instrument) to manage financial risk.
They are derived from primary financial instrument. Financial risk originates from sources
such as change in commodity price, change in cash flows and foreign currency exposure
Financial accounting 1 Summary
2. The reduction of financial loss stemming from the financial risk is the motivating factor in
trading in derivatives. Derivative financial instruments create rights and obligations that have
the effect of transferring between the parties to the instrument the financial risks inherent in
an underlying primary financial instrument
3. Types of financial risks:
 Price risk—uncertainty about the future price of an asset. Trading securities,
purchase commitment, equipment to be imported at a future date.
 Credit risk—possibility of nonpayment of loan.
 Interest rate
 Foreign currency—The peso equivalent of the foreign currency loan on the
date of maturity will differ from the peso equivalent of the foreign currency
loan when it was obtained.
 A derivative is an executory contract, meaning, it is not a transaction but an exchange of promises
about future action.
 Parties to the derivative financial instrument are taking bets on what will happen to the underlying
financial instrument in the future.(gambling)
 Derivative characteristics:
 Underlying variable—specified interest rate, commodity price, foreign
exchange rate, price index. It must have a notional amount(quantity or
volume)
 Requires either no initial investment or initial net investment
 Readily settled at a future date by a net cash payment.
 Hedging is a means of protecting a financial loss or the structuring of a transaction to reduce risk
 Derivatives are measured at fair value. Both the fair value and notional amount shall be fully
dislosed.
 Forecast transaction(primary financial instrument) is an uncommitted but anticipated future
transaction
 Cash flow hedge—measured at fair value. The changes in fair value are recognized in OCI to the
extent that the hedge is effective. The ineffective portion is recognized in profit or loss. Hedged item
is not adjusted to conform with fair value
 Fair value hedge—offsets in whole or in part the change in fair value of an asset or liability. It is
measured at fair value. The hedged item is also measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are
recognized in profit or loss.
 Examples of derivatives:
 Interest rate swap
 Forward contract
 Futures contract
 Option
 Foreign currency forward contract
 These derivatives are stand-alone derivatives. They are separate from the primary instrument. They
are created to solely to hedge against financial risks created by primary instrument or by transaction
that have yet to occur

 Futures contract and forward contract have the same definition . The only difference is that a futures
contract is traded in a futures exchange market in much the same manner as debt and equity
securities being traded in the stock market. In other words, a forward contract is a private contract
between 2 parties who know each other very well while a futures contract is a standard contract
traded in a futures exchange market and one party will never know who is on the other side of the
contract. All cash settlements are made through the exchange market.
 Call options gives the holder the right to purchase an asset and put option gives the holder the right
to sell an asset
 An option must be paid for. This is a derivative that requires an initial small payment for the
protection against unfavorable movement in price(option premium). It is a receivable. To be
recovered from the increases in fair value.
 The option is “in the money” if the market price is greater than the option price. We recognize loss
equal to the option premium if the market price is less than the option price
 Under PFRS 9, if the host contract is a financial asset, the imbedded derivative is not separated. It is
measured at fair value or amortized cost. In PFRS 39, it can be separated provided that: (1) The
combined contract is not measured at fair value and the change in fair value recognized in profit or
loss. Thus, if it is measured at fair value, there is no need to separate it because the combined
contract is already accounted for similar to a derivative (2) The embedded and the host are not
closely related.
 Examples of embedded derivatives: (1) equity conversion option (2) Redemption option (3)
investment in bond whose interest and principal payment is linked to the price of gold or silver.
Government Grant
1. Assistance by the government(monetary or nonmonetary) in return for past or future
compliance with conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity. It is also known
as subsidy, subvention or premium
2. A forgivable loan from government can be considered as a government grant when it is
certain that the entity will meet the terms and conditions.
3. Benefit of a government grant loan with a below-market rate of interest is treated as a
government grant
4. PAS20 does not deal with the government participation in ownership of an entity, grant
covered by PAS41 on agriculture and government assistance in the form of tax benefits
5. Classification of Government grant:
 Grants related to assets-purchase or construct long-term assets.
 Grants related to income—other than those related to asset
6. Grants shall be recognized as income over 3 years in proportion to the costs incurred.
Property Plant and Equipment
6. Assets that are held for sale, including land, or held for investment are not included in PPE
Financial accounting 1 Summary
7. Pas16 on PPE does not apply to Biological assets related to agricultural activity and mineral
rights and mineral reserves such as oil, natural gas, and similar nonregenerative resources.
Such assets are shown as separate line item on the face of the statement of FS.
8. An entity is required to apply PAS 16 to PPE used to develop or maintain biological assets,
mineral rights and mineral reserves.
9. Spare parts and servicing equipment are usually carried as inventory and recognized as an
expense when consumed. However, major spare parts and stand-by equipment qualify as
PPE when the entity expects to use them more than one period.
10. If the spare parts and servicing equipment can be used only in connection with an item of
PPE, they are accounted for as PPE and are depreciated over a time period not exceeding the
useful life of the related asset.
11. A chemical manufacturer may have to install certain new chemical handling processes in
order to comply with environmental requirements on the production and storage of dangerous
chemicals. Such related plant enhancements are recognized as assets to the extent that they
are recoverable because without them, the entity is unable to manufacture and sell.
12. The cost of an item of PPE comprises:
 purchase price, including import duties and nonrefundable purchase taxes,
after deducting trade discounts and rebates
 Cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition
necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by mgt.
 Initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and
restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the entity
incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the
item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories
during that period.
13.
14.
Directly attributable:
 Cost of employee benefits arising directly from the construction or acquisition
 Cost of site preparation
 Initial delivery and handling cost
 Installation and assembly cost
 Professional fees
 Cost of testing whether the asset is functioning properly, after deducting the
net proceeds from selling any items produced while bringing the asset to that
location and condition, such as samples produced when testing eqpt.
Costs that are expensed immediately:
 Cost of opening a new facility
 Costs of introducing a new product or service, including costs of advertising
and promotion
 Costs of conducting business in a new location or with a new class of
customer, including costs of staff training
 Administration and other general overhead costs
 Costs incurred while an item capable of operating in the manner intended by
the management has yet to be brought into use or is operated at less than full
capacity
 Initial operating losses
 Cost of relocating or reorganizing part or all of an entity’s operations.
Financial accounting 1 Summary
15. After initial recognition, an entity shall choose either the cost model or revaluation model
as its accounting policy and shall apply that policy to an entire class of PPE
16. When carried at revaluation, its cost is the fair value at the date of revaluation less any
subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
17. If the machinery has cash price:
Machinery
290,000
Discount on NP
60,000
Note payable
300,000
Cash
50,000
Note outstanding method is used to amortize the discount
18. If the asset is acquired by installment and there is no available cash price, the asset is
recorded at an amount equal to present value of all payments using an implied interest
Machinery
597,400
Discount on NP
102,600
Cash
100,000
NP
600,000
The present value of installment payment of 200,000 is 497,400. so the implied interest is
102, 600. the downpayment of 100,000 is included in the cost of machinery—597,400
19. For equity-settled transaction( issuance of share capital), the proceeds shall be measured
by the fair fair value of the consideration received.
 fair value of property received
 Fair value of the share capital
 Par or stated value of share capital
20.
Asset acquired by issuing bonds payable is measured in the following order:
 Fair value of bonds payable
 Fair value of asset received
 Fair value of bonds payable
21. A transaction has a commercial substance when the expected cash flows after the
exchange differ significantly relative to the fair value of the asset exchanged from the
expected cash flows before the exchange
22. If an entity is able to determine reliably the fair value of either the asset received or the
asset given, then the fair value of the asset given is used to measure the cost of the asset
received unless the fair value of the asset received is more clearly evident.
23. In an exchange, where there is no cash involved, the order is:
 fair value of the property given
 Fair value of property received
 Carrying amount of property given
* letter a is preferable since this approximates a cash transaction. The acquisition
is conceived as a two-way transaction, meaning as if the investment is sold at its
fair value and the proceeds is used to acquire equipment
24. If exchange transaction lacks commercial substance, the cost is measured at the carrying
amount of the asset given up.

26. The cost of fully depreciated asset remaining in service and the related accumulated
depreciation ordinarily shall not be removed from the accounts. However, entities are
encouraged but not required to disclose fully depreciated property.
27. PFRS 5 provided that an item of property plant and equipment is classified as “held for
sale” if the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition within 1 year from
the date of classification as held for sale. It is excluded from PPE and classified as current
asset
28. Any noncurrent asset classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying
amount or fair value less cost to sell. It shall not be depreciated
29. The writedown to fair value less cost to sell is treated as an impairment loss
Financial accounting 1 Summary
30. Entity shall not classify as held for sale a noncurrent asset that is to be abandoned. This is
because its carrying amount would be recovered principally through continuing use
31. Temporary idle activity or abandonement does not preclude depreciating asset as future
economic benefits are consumed not only through usage but also through wear and tear and
obsolescence
32. Noncurrent asset to be abandoned includes an item of property plant and equipment that
is to be used until the end of its economic life
33. Cost of self-constructed asset shall include direct cost of material and labor and indirect
cost and incremental overhead
34. If there is clear evidence that the actual cost is materially excessive and this is due to
construction inefficiencies or failures, the excess shall be treated as a loss chargeable against
management. Future periods shall not be burdened with management inefficiencies and
errors.
35. Intervening operations or incidental income and loss gain or incurred that are not
necessary to bring an item to the location and condition for its intended use are recognized in
profit or loss.(e.g. using the building site as carp park until construction starts)
36. The cost of asset is equal to the invoice price minus the cash discount, whether taken or
not(net method) because this approximates the cash price equivalent Cash discount is
generally considered as reduction of cost and not as income.
37. Gross or net method, ultimately, an item of PPE is stated at net amount (this doesnt
apply to inventories where gross method reports inventory at net amount only if a cash
discount is availed).If net method is used and payment is made beyond the discount period,
an other expense account( purchase discounts lost) is debited and a PPE asset is credited.
38. If a fully depreciated property is no longer used, the asset account and related
acc.depreciation are closed and the residual value is set up in a separate account.
Borrowing Cost
1. Commencement of capitalization:
a. When the entity incurs expenditures for the asset
b. When the entity incurs borrowing costs
c. When the entity undertakes activities necessary to prepare the asset for the intended
use or sale
2. Activities necessary to prepare the asset for the intended use or sale encompass not just the
physical construction but also the technical and administrative work prior to the
commencement of physical construction such as drawing up plans and obtaining permit for a
building
3. borrowing cost incurred during the period in which the asset is idle or there is no
development activites undertaken is not capitalizable
4. Capitalization is suspended during the period in which active development is interrupted
5. If temporary delay is necessary for the intended sale, capitalization is not suspended
6. Segregation qualifying assets from other assets is not required
Land, Building and machinery
1. Classification of land depends on the nature and purposes of the land
2. Land used as a plant site shall be treated as property, plant and equipment
3. Land held for currently undetermined use is treated as an investment property
4. Land that is held definitely as a future plant site is classified as owner-occupied
Financial accounting 1 Summary
5. Cost of land includes:
a. Legal fees and other expenditure for establishing clean title
b. Broker’s commission and escrow fees
c. Fees for registration and transfer of title
d. Cost of relocation or reconstruction of property belonging to others in order to acquire
possession
e. Mortgages,encubrances and interest on such mortgages assumed by the buyer
f. Unpaid taxes up to date of acquisition assumed by the buyer
g. Cost of survey
j. Cost of clearing and demolishing unwanted old structures, less proceeds from salvage
value
k. payments to tenants to induce them to vacate the land.
l. Cost of permanent improvements such as cost of grading, leveling and landfill
m. Cost of option to buy the acquired the land. If the land is not acquired, the cost of
option is expensed outright
5. if Land improvements are additions to cost not subject to depreciation, they are charged to
the land account. Examples are cost of surveying, cost of clearing, cost of grading, leveling
and landfill, cost of subdividing and other cost of permanent improvement
6. Special assessments are taxes paid by the landowner as a contribution to the cost of public
improvements. It is treated as part of the cost of land. The reason for this is that public
improvements increase definitely the value of land
7. Real property taxes are treated as outright expense. Unpaid real taxes assumed by the buyer
are capitalized up to date of acquisition
8. Land improvements that are depreciable should be charged to a special account—Land
Improvements and be depreciated
Cost of Building when purchased
1. Materials used, labor employed,overhead incurred during construction
2. Building permit and license
3. Architect fee
4. Superintendent fee
5. Cost of excavation
6. Cost of temporary buildings used as a construction offices and tools or materials used
7. Expenditures incurred during th construction period such as interest on construction loans
and insurance
8. Expenditures for service equipment and fixtures made a permanent part of the structure
9. Cost of temporary safety fence around construction site and cost of subsequent removal
thereof. However, the construction of a permanent fence after the completion of the building
is recognized as land improvement
10. Safety inspection fee.
9. Any expenditures not in connection with the construction of a new building is not part of the
building account. Sidewalks, pavements, parking lot, driveways are land improvements
unless they are part of the blueprint for the construction of a new building.
10. Where insurance is taken during construction of a building, the cost of insurance is charged
to the building because it is necessary and reasonable cost of bringing into existence.
11. However, where insurance is not taken, an accounting problem arises when the company is
required to pay claims for the damages for injuries during the construction. In this regard, it
Financial accounting 1 Summary
is believed that the payment for damages should be expensed outright because the damages
represent management failure or negligence in procuring insurance and are not reasonable
and necessary cost of construction. To charge the damages to the building would be
tantamount to concealment of the management failure or negligence
12. Expenditures for shelves, cabinets, and partitions may be charged to the building or furniture
and fixtures depending upon the nature of the expenditures. If such expenditures are
immovable in the sense that they are attached to the building in such a manner that the
removal thereof may destroy, they are charged to the building account. On the other hand if
such expenditures are movable, they are charged to furniture and fixtures and depreciated
over their useful life.
13. If installed during construction, the ventilating system, lighting system and elevator are
charged to the building. Otherwise, they are charged to building improvements and
depreciated over their useful life or remaining life of the building, whichever is shorter.
14. It is incorrect to maintain a single account for land and building because land does not
depreciate but building depreciates. Land is not insurable but building is insurable. Thus if
they are acquired at a single cost, the single cost is allocated to the land and building on the
basis of their relative fair value.
15. If land and an old building which is to be razed are acquired at a single cost, the single cost is
allocated to the land only. The net cost of razing the building, meaning cost of razing minus
salvage, is also charged to the land account. IF the premises are subject to a lease contract,
any payments to tenants to induce them to vacate the premises before lease expiration are
charged to the land account. If the building owned by the entity is leased to tenants and the
building is demolished to make room for the construction of a new one, any payments to
induce them to vacate shall be charged to the cost of new building
16. The carrying amount of the old building, if any, and the net cost of demolishing the building
shall be charged to the loss on retirement of the old building. The cost of demolishing the old
building cannot be charged to the cost of new building because this part of the service cost
related to the old building when retired from use.
17. any safety measures in acquisition of asset is capitalized
18. If machinery is moved to new location, the undepreciated cost of the old installation cost is
expensed and the new installation cost is charged to the new asset
19. If machinery is removed and retired to make room for the installation of a new one, the
removal cost not previously recognized as a provision is charged to expense on the theory
that this is part of the service cost related to the retirement of the old machinery
20. VAT on the purchase of machinery is not capitalizable but charged to input tax to be offset
against output tax. Any irrecoverable purchase tax is capitalized
21. Tools should be segregated from the machinery account
22. Patterns and dies used for regular products of the company are recorded as assets and
depreciated over their useful life. If they are used for specially order products, they are
expensed outright and form part of the cost of special product
23. The term equipment includes delivery equipment, store equipment, office equipment, F&F,
similar assets
24. Motor registration fees should be expensed and not be included as part of the cost of the
delivery equipment
25. If assets are identified with the selling function, they are classified as store equipment,
otherwise, charged to office equipment
26. Furniture and fixtures include showcases, counters, shelves, display fixtures, cabinets,
partitions, safes, desks, tables and similar items. In broad sense, it includes store and office
equipment
Financial accounting 1 Summary
27. Returnable containers are classified as PPE when they are in big units as in the case of tanks,
drums, and barrels. If small amounts, classified as other noncurrent assets
28. If not returnable, expensed outright
29. Revenue expenditure is an expenditure that benefits only the current period. Therefore
reported as an expense. If it benefits current and future periods, it is a capital expenditure and
reported as an asset.
30. Subsequent costs is capitalized when:
a. Expenditure extends the life of the property
b. It increases the capacity of the property and quality of output(upgrading machine
parts)
c. Improves the efficiency and safety of the property by adopting a new production
processes leading to large reduction in operating cost.
31. The cost of addition which is a new unit is depreciated over its useful life. But the cost of an
expansion should be depreciated over its useful life or remaining life of the asset of which it
is part, whichever is shorter
32. Improvements or betterment may represent replacement of an asset or part with one of a
better quality or superior quality
33. Replacement also involve substitution but the new asset is not better than the old asset when
acquired.
34. Ordinary repairs are expensed. Extraordinary are capitalized
35. An entity does not include in the carrying amount of PPE the costs of day to day servicing of
the property
36. Rearrangement cost is capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the asset.
37. If the original part of an existing asset is separately identifiable, the major replacement is
debited to the asset account. The cost of the part eliminated and the related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and the remaining carrying amount of the old
part is treated as a loss. If it not practicable for an entity to determine the carrying amount of
the replaced part, it may use the cost of the replacement cost as an indication of what the cost
of the replaced part was at the time it was acquired or constructed.
38. Total cost of the building constructed is 5,000,000 for 20 years. After 10 years, the wooden
roof is replaced with concrete roofing costing 500,000. The cost of wooden roof is 400T

Depreciation
1. Omission of depreciation may somehow impair legal capital if and when dividends are declared out
of earnings before provision for depreciation
2. 2 kinds of depreciation:
a. Physical-related to asset’s wear and tear and deterioration over a period. It is caused by wear
and tear due to frequent use, passage of time due to nonuse, action of elements, accidents and
disease
b. Functional or economic-arises from obsolescence or inadequacy of the asset to perform
efficiently
3. Obsolescence arises when there is no future demand for the product which the depreciable asset
produces
4. When a new depreciable asset becomes available and the new asset can perform the same function
for substantially less cost
5. Inadequacy arises when the asset is no longer useful to the firm because of an increase in the volume
of operations
6. To the extent that an entity depreciates separately some significant parts of an item of PP, it also
depreciates separately the remainder of the item
7. Factors to be considered in determining the useful life(expected utility) of the asset
a. expected usage of the asset—asset’s expected capacity
b. expected physical wear and tear—operational factors(repair and maintenance program)
c. Obsolescence—change in market demand
d. Legal limits—expiry date of the related lease
8. Methods of depreciation:
a. Equal or uniform—straight line, composite, group
b. Variable charge—working hrs, output
c. Decreasing charge or accelerated or diminishing balance—SYD,DB DDB
d. Other methods—Inventory appraisal, retirement method, replacement
Depletion
1. Wasting assets are physically consumed and irreplaceable by man
2. Exploration and evaluation asset is classified either as tangible or intangible.
3. Residual land value is the residual value in wasting asset. It is deducted from the acquisition cost to
get the depletable amount
4. Exploration may result in either success or failure. It may be accounted for as successful effort and
full cost method
5. Under successful effort method, only the exploration cost directly related to the discovery of
resource is capitalized. Exploration cost related to dry wells is expensed in the period incurred
6. Under full cost, all exploration costs, whether successful or not are capitalized. The cost of drilling
dry wells is part of the cost of locating productive wells.
7. Successful effort is popular among large and successful oil entities. Full cost is for small oil entities
Financial accounting 1 Summary
8. Development cost may be in the form of tangible or intangible. Intangible is capitalized. It includes
drilling, sinking mine shaft and construction of wells
9. Restoration cost may be added to the cost of resource property or netted against the expected
residual value of the resource property. The estimated cost of restoring property to its original
condition is capitalized only when the entity incurs the obligation when the asset is acquired.
10. In essence, depletion is recognized as the cost of the material used in the production(cost per unit)
and thus becomes the finished product since the wasting asset is conceived as the total cost of the
materials available for extraction
11. Wasting asset doctrine is an exception to the trust fund doctrine.
12. The accumulated depletion balance is used only for purposes of determining how much capital can
be legally returned to shareholders
13. Wasting asset doctrine is based on the philosophy that to limit dividend declaration to the retained
earnings balance would have the effect of retaining in the business funds which are not needed
because the wasting assets are irreplaceable. Not going concern anymore.
Revaluation
1. The frequency of revaluation depends upon the movement in the fair value of the items of PPE being
revalued. When a fair value of a revalued asset differs materially from its carrying amount a further
revaluation is necessary. Some items of PPE may experience significant and volatile movements in
fair value thus necessitating annual revaluation
2. Revaluation every 3-5 years may be sufficient for items of PPE with only insignificant movements
in fair value
3. A class of PPE is a grouping of assets of a similar nature and use in an enterprise operation.
Examples of separate classes are land, buildings, machinery, ships, motor vehicles, furniture and
fixtures and office equipment.
4. Items within a class of PPE are revalued simultaneously in order to avoid selective revaluation and
the reporting of amounts which are a mixture of costs and values at different dates.
5. In the absence of fair value, depreciated replacement cost(sound value) is used
6. revaluation increment is equal to fair value or depreciated RC minus the carrying amount of the asset
7. Replacement cost is the current purchase price of a particular asset
8. Appreciation or revaluation increase is the excess of the revalued amount over the historical cost.
Appreciation minus the corresponding Acc depreciation equals net appreciation or revaluation
surplus
9. 2 approaches in recording revaluation: proportional and elimination
10. Revaluation surplus is a component of OCI. It is transferred to RE when realized over the remaining
life of the asset or fully realized on disposal of asset.
11. The historical cost and the related accumulated depreciation shall be disclosed in the notes
12. Proportional approach is the preferable method because it preserves the gross and net amounts after
revaluation
Impairment
1. Impairment is the fall in the market value of an asset so that its recoverable amount is now less than
it carrying amount
2. The events and changes in circumstances that lead to an impairment of asset may be classified as
external or internal sources of information
3. External sources: (1)decline in market value or a new competitor in the industry(2) Significant
change in the technological, market, legal or economic environment of the business or change in
customer taste(3) Decrease in value in use due to increase in interest or discount rate.
4. Internal: (1) Obsolescence or physical damage (2)restructuring, held for sale or idle. (3) economic
performance of an asset will be worse than expected.
Financial accounting 1 Summary
5. Recoverable amount is the higher between fair value less cost to sell and value in use.
6. If there is binding sale agreement, fair value less cost to sell is the sales price less costs to sell. If
there is no binding sale agreement but is traded in an active market, fair value less cost to sell is
equal to the market price(current bid price, sales price of recent transaction) less costs to sell. If there
is no binding sale agreement and the asset is not traded in an active market, it is equal to the best
estimate of knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
7. Cash flow projections shall be based on the most recent budgets on financial forecasts, usually up to
a maximum of 5 years, unless a longer period can be justified
8. Estimate of cash flows include inflows and outflows from continuing use of the asset and net cash
flows received or paid on the disposal of the asset at the end of useful life in an arms length
transaction. It excludes restructuring to which the entity is not yet committed, inflows and outflows
from enhancement of asset, financing and income tax.
9. Foreign currency future cash flows shall be forecast in the currency in which they will be generated
and will be discounted using a rate appropriate to that currency and the resulting figure shall then be
translated into the reporting currency at the spot exchange rate at the date of value in use calculation.
10. Discount rate is the current pretax rate that reflects the current assessment of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the asset. It shall not reflect risk for which the future cash flow
estimates have already been adjusted.
11. As a basic rule, the recoverable amount of an asset shall be determined for the asset individually. If it
is not possible, the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs is determined
12. CGU should be the smallest aggregation of assets for which cash flows can be identified and which
are independent of cash flows from other assets or group of assets. If aggregation is done at the
“entity level”, there would be no impairment to be recognized. But if it is done at the department or
product line level, we could easily identify those loss-producing unit from cash generating ones.
Thus, impairment can be recognized.
13. Carrying amount of CGU does not include the carrying amount of any recognized liability
14. Corporate assets other than goodwill contribute to future cash flows of CGU. It is divisional assets
such as head office building, EDP, research center. It does not generate independent cash flows thus
recoverable amount of an individual corporate asset cannot be determined unless management has
decided to dispose of the asset( fair value less cost to sell)
15. The increased carrying amount of an asset due to reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been recognized for the asset in prior years
16. Impairment Loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss and presented separately
17. PAS36 does not specify whether the impairment shall be credited to the asset directly or use
accumulated depreciation or accumulated impairment loss.
18. If aggregation of assets for the purpose of determining the cash generating unit is done at the “entity
level”, there would be no impairment to be recognized since those unprofitable assets would be
concealed. Instead, it should be done at the department or product line level so that those lossproducing assets would be written down to recoverable amount
19. Corporate assets are assets other than goodwill that contribute to the future cash flows of both the
cash generating unit under review and other cash generating unti
Intangible Assets
1. Essential criteria for intangible assets: (1) Identifiability(separable, contractual) (2)
Control(competitive advantage) (3)future economic benefits( max revnue and min.cost)
2. The capacity of an entity to control future economic benefit would stem from legal rights
3. Skill of employees arising from training costs, market share, and customer loyalty are not intangible
assets since entity cannot control those.
4. Cost of intangible assets are initially measured at cost and it depends on the ff:
a. Separate acquisition
b. Acquisition as part of business combination—Fair value at the date of acquisition
Financial accounting 1 Summary
c. Government grant—fair value or nominal amount or zero plus direct costs
d. Exchange—fair value of the asset given up. If it has no commercial substance, at carrying
amount of the asset given up.
5. Intangible asset can only be carried at revalued amount if there is an active market for the asset
because usually, fair value or residual value of intangibles is presumed to be zero.
Specific Intangible assets
1. Legal life of patent is 20 years. It cannot be renewed but its life can be extended beyond the legal life
by a new patent for improvements and changes
2. If patent is internally developed, it cost includes licensing and other related legal fees in securing the
patent rights
3. Legal fees of successfully prosecuting or defending the patent shall be expensed because the effect is
maintenance. If it is unsuccessful, legal costs and the remaining cost of the patent is written off as a
loss.
4. Competitive patent protect the original patent and thus amortized over the remaining life of the old
patent
5. Related patent extends the life of the old patent. The patents shall then be amortized over the
extended life
6. If there is no extension, they shall be amortized over their own life.
7. In practice, cost of copyright is written off against the revenue of the first printing instead of
theoretically amortizing it over the useful life.
8. The term of protection for copyright is during the life of the author and for 50 years after his death.
9. Franchise may be granted for a definite or indefinite period.
10. Periodic franchise fee which is usually based on the gross sales is normally expensed, while initial
franchise fee is capitalized—FRANCHISE
11. Leasehold improvements are classified as PPE and legally revert to the lessor upon termination of
the lease.
12. If renewal option is highly probable, cost of the leasehold improvements is spread over the extended
period, assuming it is shorter than the life of the improvement. If it us uncertain, it is generally
amortized over the life of the lease, assuming it is shorter than the life of the improvements.
13. Legal life of trademark is 10 years and may be renewed for periods of 10years each. Considering the
almost automatic renewal of trademark, it may properly be classified as an intangible asset with
indefinite life and thus, tested for impairment annually.
14. Goodwill has indeterminate life, inherent in a continuing business and relates to the entity as a
whole. It is created by a good relationship between an entity and its customers.
15. Internally developed goodwill is not recognized because there is no cash or objective transaction
involved.
16. Measurement of goodwill acquired in business purchase may be accounted for in residual or direct
approach.
17. Negative goodwill term is abandoned and replaced as Gain on bargain purchase
18. In computing for impairment of intangible asset with indefinite life, future cash flows is divided by
the discount rate to get the present value
19. Acquired in process R and D project separately or in business combination is recognized as an asset
at cost, even if a component is research
20. USA GAAP says that expenditures for research and development which have future alternative uses
can be capitalized. Subsequent expenditures, depreciation, amortization are charged to R and D
expense.
21. Capitalizable software costs include the cost of coding and testing and the cost to produce the
product masters. Costs to actually produce the software from masters and package the software for
sale shall be charged as inventory.
Financial accounting 1 Summary
22. A computer software purchased as an integral part of machine that cannot operate without the
specific software shall be treated as PPE. If it is not an integral part of a related hardware, it is
classified as intangible asset.
23. Web site development costs are expensed
24. Service concession is an arrangement between concession operator and grantor public sector
whereby private sector shall provide services to the public for some consideration. The scheme is to
build, operate and transfer (BOT).
25. The infrastructure asset is not recognized as PPE because the grantor controls the asset. It is either
treated as financial asset if there is a contractual right to receive payment from the grantor. It is
intangible asset if the entity has no right to receive cash but has the right to charge users toll fee as
revenue
