Chapter 1 – Concepts and Standards
A. Conceptual Framework
1. Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts (SFACs) describe objectives,
qualitative characteristics, and other concepts that guide the FASB in developing
sound accounting principles. SFACs do not establish accounting and reporting
requirements.
a. SFAC 1 = An objective is to provide information that is useful to potential
investors, creditors, investment and credit decision makers
b. SFAS 2 = Conservatism – Uncertainty and business risk are adequately
considered. Record contingent loss but not contingent gain (if high, disclose in
notes)
2. Gain contingencies are not recorded in the financial statements, but if high, they
should be disclosed. This is GAAP conservatism.
3. Financial Reporting provides information about an enterprise’s performance during a
period when it was under the direction of a particular management but does not
directly provide information about that management'’ performance. There is no
separation of performance from management action or related conditions.

4. Asset – Transaction has occurred, entity has benefit & Control, and there is probable
future benefit
i.
Asset Valuation Account (contra)= increase or decrease asset value (Note:

ii.
E.g. Deferred Gross Profit collected for period beyond the B/S date is a
contra account
5. Liabilities – Probable future sacrifices of economic benefits
i.
Liability Valuation Account = increase or decrease asset value (Note: This is
not an asset or liability Account)
Equity or Net Assets – Residual interest in assets of entity after deducting liabilities
6.
7. Elements describing transactions, events, and events circumstances during intervals
of time

Different Measurable Attributes
- Historical Cost – For plant assets and most inventories (initial
acquisition cost)
 LCM is departure when utility is now less than cost
- Historical Proceeds – Liability incurred to provide goods or services
- Current (replacement Cost) – Cash or cash equivalent to replace asset
* Recording Inventory at CRC is departure from H/C
- Current Market Value (Exit Value) – Used to measure some
marketable securities
- Net Realizable Value – Used to measure short-term receivables and
some inventories. Use if below historical cost.
- Net Settlement Value – Used to measure trade payables and warranty
obligations.
- Present Value – Incorporates time value of money concepts (Used
only for long-term receivables and payables) not to measure inventory
Calculation of PV employs a set of estimated cash flows and interest
rates

Answer
1. The relevant attribute for plant assets and most inventories. It is
the cash or equivalent actually paid for an asset and is ordinarily
adjusted subsequently for amortization (which includes
depreciation) or other allocations.
2. The relevant attributes for liabilities incurred to provide goods or
services to customers. It is a cash or equivalent actually received
when the obligation was created and may be subsequently
amortized.
3. Used to measure certain inventories and is the cash or the
equivalent that would be paid for a current acquisition of the same
or an equivalent asset.
4. Used to measure some marketable securities e.g., those held by
investment companies, or assets expected to be sold at below
their carrying amount.
5. Used to measure short-term receivables and some inventories.
It is the cash or equivalent expected to be received for an asset in
the due course of business, minus the costs of completion and
sale.
6. Used to measure items such as trade payables and warranty
obligations. It is the cash or equivalent equivalents that the entity
expects to pay to satisfy the obligation in the due course of
business.
7. In the theory, the most relevant method of measurement
because it incorporates time value of the money concepts. In
practice, it is currently used for only long-tern receivables and
payables.

Chapter 2 – Revenue Recognition
A. Recognition at the Point of Sale
1. Revenues recognized when realized or realizable and earned
i.
The revenue recognition criteria are ordinarily met at the point of sale. At this
time, title and risk of loss usually pass to the buyer.
ii.
Exceptions exist to this principle. E.g. revenue may be recognized at the
point of production if an established market exists for fungible goods, such as
precious metals or agricultural products.
- Evenly over benefiting periods
- Revenue is not recognized prior to substantive delivery
a. At point of sale – risk of loss pass to buyer
i.
FOB Shipping Point – When goods are shipped
ii.
FOB Destination – Tender delivery at destination
b. At point of production for certain products: fungible goods; precious
metals/agricultural products
c. Or when collectibles is assured
d. Deferred Revenues – cash received in advanced
i. Reversal is made only when initial entry is to revenue account
B. Recognition at Completion of Production
1. When products and other assets are readily realizable because they are salable,
then a fixed price should be recognized as revenues upon completion of production.
C. Cash vs Accrual Basis
 Revenues = cash collected
a. Accruals – Future Cash Flows (Recognize Revenue and Expense when earned
& occur)
b. Deferral – Past Cash Flows (Postponing recognition of revenues and expenses)
1. Cash Basis – Records revenues when cash is received, and recognized expenses
when cash paid.
2. Increases in inventory = more expenses (deduct from accrual basis)
3. Increase in payables = less expenses (add to accrual basis)
D. Installment Method
1. Recognized income when receivable is collected
a. Collection of Receivable is not reasonably assured (indeterminate)
b. Gross Profit is recognized in income in proportion to cash collection
c. Amount recognized each period = gross profit percentage (gp/sp) x cash
collected
d. Repossessed goods due to non-payment (Debit: deferred gp and loss) (Credit:
Installment Receivable)
e. N/I should included only realized GP
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson

E. Cost-Recovery Method
1. Profit is recognized after collections exceed cost
 Subsequent amounts are treated entirely as revenues
 This method is more conservative than the installment method.
a. Receivables are collected over extended period
b. There is considerable doubt as to collectibility
c. Recognizable estimate of loss cannot be made
F. Long-Term Construction Contracts
1. Completed Contract (RECORD LOSS WHEN IT BECOMES APPARENT)
a. Profit is recognized in year of completion
b. Defer cost in construction-in-progress account until project is completed and
revenue is recognized.
c. Close CIP to sales
2. Percentage of Completion (RECORD LOSS WHEN IT BECOMES APPARENT)
a. Recognize profit based on total profit, percentage completed and profit
recognized to date
b. CIP = (Cost & Recognized Income) (debit)
c. Estimate total profit = total estimated cost – contract price.
d. Total profit recognized to date = % completed x total expected profit
e. Current period profit = Total profit to date – prior recognized profit
f. Current Asset = (CIP – Progress Billing)
g. Current Liability = (Progress Billing – CIP)
Note: Progress Billing is an offset to CIP on Balance Sheet
G. Consignment Accounting
Cost of Goods Sold
Beginning Inventory
+ Net Purchases
= Goods Available for Sale
- Ending Inventory
= Cost of Good Sold

Inventoriable cost include all costs of making the inventory ready for use
Arrangement between owner of goods and sales agent. No Sale, but consigned
pending sale.
1. Title remains with consignor (Owner)
2. Sales are recorded on books of consignor when goods are sold by consignee
3. Inventory shipped should be included in inventory of consignor (+ cost to transport
goods)
4. Consignee records sales commissions when goods are sold
h. debit consignment-in for the freight cost
 This is a receivable

Interest
Interest is the payment received by holders of money to forgo current consumption.
PV of an amount = value today of some future payment (Future amount x PV Factor)
FV of an amount = Investment today for availability tomorrow (Current Amount x FV
factor)
Annunities – Series of equal payments at equal intervals
Ordinary Annuity (Annunity in arrears) = Series of payments made at the end of
each period
Annuity Due (Annunity in advance) = Payments are made or received at beginning
of period
Long-Term Receivalbes are reported at their PV
The Interest Method of Amortizing Discount or Premium
1. Straight line Method = constant amortization each period
2. Interest Method = Constant rate of return on a receivable or payable (based on book
value)
3. Discount or premium is difference between interest revenue or interest expense and
actual amount of cash received or paid.

Revenue Recognition: SPECIAL NOTES
One of the most difficult issues facing accountants concerns the recognition of revenue by a
business organization. Although general rules and guidelines exist, the significant variety of marketing
methods for products and services make it difficult to apply the rules consistently in all situations. Chapter
19 is devoted to a discussion and illustration of revenue transactions that result from the sale of products
and the rendering of services. Throughout the discussion, attention is focused on the theory behind the
accounting methods used to recognize revenue
I. The Revenue Recognition Principle
The revenue recognition principle provides that revenue is recognized when (1) it is realized
or realizable and (2) it is earned. Revenues are realized when goods and services are exchanged for cash
or claims to cash (receivables). Revenues are realizable when assets received in exchange are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash or claims to cash. Revenues are earned when the entity has
substantially accomplished what it must do to be entitled to the benefits represented by the revenues, that
is, when the earnings process is complete or virtually complete.
The conceptual nature of revenue as well as the basis of accounting for revenue transactions
are described in the following four statements.
(a) Revenue from selling products is recognized at the date of sale, usually interpreted to
mean the date of delivery to customers.
(b) Revenue from services rendered is recognized when services have been performed and
are billable.
(c) Revenue from permitting others to use enterprise assets, such as interest, rent, and
royalties, is recognized as time passes or as the assets are used.
(d) Revenue from disposing of assets other than products is recognized at the date of sale.
II. Point of Sale-the most common basis of revenue recognition
Sales transactions result in the exchange of products or services of an enterprise for other
valuable assets, normally cash or a promise of cash in the future. Although most sales transactions are
fundamentally similar, differences in the method or terms of sale lead to real differences in the transactions
themselves and thus to differences in the appropriate accounting for them.
The discussion of sales transactions in the chapter is primarily focused on product sales
transactions. The coverage of product sales transactions is further divided into the following topics: (a)
revenue recognition at point of sale (delivery), (b) revenue recognition before delivery, (c) revenue
recognition after delivery, and (d) revenue recognition for special sales transactions (covered in Appendix
19-A). The accounting principles and methods related to product sales transactions are fairly well
developed in the accounting literature. Service sales transactions have recently received attention from
AcSEC and the FASB. These efforts are an attempt to develop accounting theory and methodology
related to service transactions as distinct from product transactions.
According to the FASB, revenue is recognized when the product is delivered or the service is
rendered. This time of recognition is normally at the time of sale when the product or service is delivered to
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
13
the customer. Some problems in implementing these basic principles arise when (a) sales have buyback
agreements, (b) the right of return exists, and (c) trade loading or channel stuffing is present.
In most business enterprises, a far greater proportion of total sales volume is handled on a
credit basis than on an ordinary cash sale basis. In situations where the seller gives the buyer the right to
return the product, the FASB concluded that the transactions should not be recognized currently as sales
unless all of the following six conditions are met:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
The seller's price to the buyer is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale.
The buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay and the obligation is not
contingent on resale of the product
The buyer's obligation to the seller would not be changed in the event of theft or physical
destruction or damage of the product.
The buyer has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller.
The seller does not have significant future performance obligations to directly bring about
the resale of the product by the buyer.
The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.
Even when revenues are recorded at date of delivery, with neither buyback or return provisions,
some companies are recognizing revenues and earnings prematurely. This occurs in situations where
trade loading or channel stuffing are present. Trade loading is an attempt to show sales, profits, and
market share an entity does not have by inducing wholesale customers to buy more product then they can
promptly sell. Channel stuffing is a similar tactic found mostly in the computer software industry. In
channel stuffing, the software maker offers deep discounts to its distributors to overbuy and records
revenue when the software leaves its loading dock. When this process takes place, the distributors'
inventories become bloated and the marketing channel gets stuffed, but the software maker's financial
statements are improved.
III. Other Revenue Recognition Methods
1. Long-term Contracts
In most circumstances, revenue is recognized at the point of sale because most of the
uncertainties related to the earning process are removed and the exchange price is known. One of the
exceptions to the general rule of recognition at point of sale is caused by long-term construction-type
projects. The accounting measurements associated with long-term construction projects are difficult
because events and amounts must be estimated for a period of years. Two basic methods of accounting
for long-term construction contracts are recognized by the accounting profession: (a) the percentage-of
completion method and (b) the completed-contract method. Please note that the percentage-ofcompletion method and the completed-contract method not be viewed as acceptable, interchangeable
alternatives.
a. Percentage-of-completion method
The percentage-of-completion method should be used when estimates of progress toward
completion, revenues, and costs are reasonably dependable and all the following conditions exist:
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
14
a.
b.
c.
The contract clearly specifies the enforceable rights regarding goods or services to be
provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged, and the
manner and terms of settlement.
The buyer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract.
The contractor can be expected to perform contractual obligations.
Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenue on long-term construction contracts is
recognized as construction progresses. Costs pertaining to the contract plus gross profit earned to
date are accumulated in a Construction in Process account. The amount of revenue recognized
in each accounting period is based on a percentage of the total revenue to be recognized on the
contract. This percentage is the costs incurred on the contract to date divided by the most
recent estimated total costs (cost-to-cost basis). Income recognized before completion is
recorded by debiting Construction in Process and crediting Revenue from Long-term
Contracts. Use of this method is dependent upon the seller's ability to provide a reliable estimate
of both the cost to complete and the percentage of contract performance completed. When such
estimates are considered reasonably dependable, the accounting profession has considered the
percentage-of-completion method preferable.
b. Completed-Contract Method
The completed-contract method should be used only when (a) an entity has primarily short-term
contracts, (b) the conditions for using the percentage-of-completion method cannot be met, or (c)
there are inherent hazards in the contract beyond normal, recurring business risks.
Under the completed-contract method, revenue and gross profit are recognized when the
contract is completed. The principal advantage of the completed-contract method is that
reported revenue is based on final results rather than on estimates of unperformed work. Its
major disadvantage is the distortion of earnings that may occur. The accounting entries made
under the completed-contract method are the same as those made under the percentage-ofcompletion method. with the notable exception of periodic income recognition.
Contract Losses When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss is
expected, the entire expected contract loss must be recognized in the period in which it becomes evident
under both the percentage-of-completion and the completed-contract-methods.
In addition to normal financial statement disclosures, construction contractors should disclose
(a) the method of recognizing revenue, (b) the basis used to classify assets and liabilities as current, (c) the
basis for recording inventory, (d) the effects of any revisions of estimates, (e) the amount of backlog on
incomplete contracts, and (f) the details about receivables.
2. Installment Method
In some cases revenue is recognized after delivery of the product to the buyer. This is due to
the fact that in certain sales situations the sales price is not reasonably assured and revenue recognition is

15
deferred. The methods generally used to account for the deferral of revenue recognition until cash is
received are the installment method and the cost recovery method (discussed after the installment
method).
Use of the installment method is justified in situations where receivables are collectible over an
extended period of time and there is no reasonable basis for estimating the degree of collectibility. The
method is used extensively in tax accounting and has relevance because of the increased emphasis on
cash flows.
The term installment sale describes any type of sale for which payment is required in periodic
installments over an extended period of time. The installment method places emphasis on collection, as
installment sales lead to income realization in the period of collection rather than the period of sale. This
does not mean that revenue is considered unrealized until the entire sale price has been collected but
rather that income realization is proportionate to collection. This is due to the fact that the ultimate profit is
more uncertain in installment sales than in ordinary sales because collection is more doubtful.
Under the installment sales method of accounting, the gross profit (sales less cost of goods
sold) on installment sales is deferred to those periods in which cash is collected. Operating expenses,
such as selling and administrative expenses, are treated as expenses in the period incurred. For
installment sales in any one year, the following procedures apply under the installment sales method:
a.
b.
c.
During the year, record both sales and cost of sales in the regular way using separate
installment sales accounts and compute the rate of gross profit on installment sales
transactions.
At the end of the year, apply the rate of gross profit to the cash collections of the current
year's installment sales to arrive at the realized gross profit.
The gross profit not realized should be deferred to future years.
In any year in which collections from prior years' installment sales are received, the gross profit rate of each
year's sales must be applied against cash collections of accounts receivable resulting from that year's sales
to arrive at the realized gross profit.
To illustrate the installment sales method of accounting assume the following facts:

When interest is involved in installment sales, it should be accounted for separately as interest
income in the period received. Uncollectible installment accounts receivable should be accounted for in a
manner similar to that used for such losses on other credit sales if repossessions do not normally
compensate for uncollectible balances.
Repossessions The accounting for repossessions recognizes that the related installment receivable
account is not collectible and that it should be written off. Also, the applicable deferred gross profit must be
removed from the ledger.
Repossessed merchandise should be recorded in the Repossessed Merchandise Inventory account. The
item repossessed should be recorded at its fair value. The objective should be to put any asset acquired
on the books at its fair value or, when fair value is not ascertainable, at the best possible approximation of
fair value. If installment sales transactions represent a significant part of total sales, full disclosure of
installment sales, the cost of installment sales, and any expenses allocable to installment sales is desirable.
Deferred gross profit on installment sales is generally treated as unearned revenue and classified as a
current liability.
3. Cost Recovery Method
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
17
Under the cost recovery method, no profit is recognized until cash payments by the buyer
exceed the seller's cost of the merchandise sold. After all the costs have been recovered, any additional
cash collections are included in income. APB Opinion No. 10 allows a seller to use the cost recovery
method to account for sales in which "there is no reasonable basis for estimating collectibility." The cost
recovery method is required under FASB Statement No. 45 (franchises) and No. 66 (real estate) where a
high degree of uncertainty exists related to the collection of receivables. The cost recovery method is more
appropriate than the installment method when there is a greater degree of uncertainty.
IV. Other Issues
1. Franchises
Appendix 19A includes a presentation of franchise sales and consignment sales transactions. In
franchise operations a franchiser grants business rights under a franchise agreement to a franchisee.
Four types of franchise arrangements have evolved in practice: (a) manufacturer-retailer, (b) manufacturerwholesaler, (c) service sponsor-retailer (McDonald's, Pizza Hut, etc.), and (d) wholesaler -retailer.
Franchise companies derive their revenue from one or both of two sources: (a) the sale of initial franchises
and related assets or services and (b) continuing fees based on the operations of franchises.
In 1981 the FASB issued Statement No. 45, "Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue." This Statement
was designed to curb abuses in revenue recognition and to standardize the accounting and reporting
practices in the franchise industry. Initial franchise fees are to be recorded as revenue only when and as
the franchiser makes substantial performance of the services it is obligated to perform and collection of the
fee is reasonably assured. Continuing franchise fees should be reported as revenue when they are
earned and receivable from the franchisee, unless a portion of them has been designated for a particular
purpose, such as providing a specified amount for building maintenance or local advertising. When a
franchisee is given an option to purchase equipment or supplies by a franchiser at a bargain purchase price
(lower than the normal selling price), a portion of the initial franchise fee should be deferred and accounted
for as an adjustment to the selling price of equipment or supplies. A franchiser should disclose all
significant commitments and obligations resulting from franchise agreements, including a description of
services that have not yet been substantially performed.
2. Consignments
In a consignment sales arrangement, merchandise is shipped by the consignor to the consignee,
who acts as an agent for the consignor in selling the merchandise. The merchandise shipped to the
consignee remains the property of the consignor until a sale is made. When a sale is made, the
consignee remits the proceeds, less any related expenses plus a sales commission, to the consignor.
When the consignor receives word that a sale has been made, revenue is recognized and inventory is
appropriately reduced.
In accounting for consignment sales arrangements, the consignor periodically receives from the
consignee an account sales that shows the merchandise received, merchandise sold, expenses
chargeable to the consignment, and the cash remitted. Revenue is then recognized by the consignor.

Chapter 4 – Other Income Statement Items
(Below the DEC)
A. Discontinued Operations (D)
On October 3, 2001, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
that replaces FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The primary objectives of this
project were to develop one accounting model, based on the framework established in
Statement 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and to address significant
implementation issues.
The accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale applies to all longlived assets, including discontinued operations, and replaces the provisions of APB
Opinion No. 30, Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, for the disposal of segments of a business. Statement 144
requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair
value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued
operations. Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net
realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred.
Statement 144 also broadens the reporting of discontinued operations to include all
components of an entity with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the
entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal
transaction. For the purpose of reporting discontinued operations, a component of an
entity is a set of operations and cash flows clearly distinguishable from the rest of the
entity for operational and financial reporting purposes.

The results of operations of a component that has been disposed of or is
classified as held for sale are reported in discontinued operations if:
o Its operations and cash flows have been or will be eliminated form the
ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal
o The entity will have no significant continuing post-disposal involvement in
the component’s operations.

Result of Operations
Disposed of or classified as held for sale
+ loss on Write down to fair value
- Cost to sell/+ gain form recoupment
-/+ Applicable income taxes/benefits
= Separate reporting as a component of income (discontinued operation)
(Note: these should be reported in the period incurred)
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
28
o If Gain/Loss is attributable to discontinued operations, and the prior year
financial statements are presented, they should be reclassified for
comparative purposes.
o Amounts previously reported in discontinued operations in a prior period
may require adjustment in the current period.
- If such an adjustment is directly related to a prior period disposal of
a component, it is reported currently in discontinued operations as
a separate item, and its nature and amount are disclosed.
- Note: A settlement of an employee benefit plan obligation is
directly related to the disposal given a demononstrated direct
cause-and-effect relationship.
B. Extraordinary Items (E)
Early extinguishment of debt = is ordinary and not extraordinary
 This does not include an investment transaction you have in another company
Remember DEC
1. Extraordinary item = unusual and infrequent
These items are not E/I (Write down of equipment, adjustments of accruals on long-term
contracts, write-off of obsolete equipment, strikes, gain or loss on disposal
 Loss as a result of anti-trust action is extraordinary.
 There is no Extraordinary loss if debt has not been extinguished
(a) However, if liability(debt) has been extinguished,
i.
this is extraordinary
C. Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (C )
1. Change in Accounting Estimate – Accounted for as component of income from
continuing operations in period of change.
a. Also in future periods if future periods are affected also.
b. Accounted for prospectively only.
c. Note: This treatment applies to change in accounting principle that is
inseparable from the effect of a change in estimate.
Summary of Statement No. 154
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB
Statement No. 3
This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for
and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in
accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual
instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement
includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed.
Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by
including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting
principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes
in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
29
cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an
accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new
accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest
period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to
the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the
statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is
impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior
periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted
prospectively from the earliest date practicable.
This Statement defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to
prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued
financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. This Statement also redefines restatement
as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error.
This Statement requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the
direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in
nondiscretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the
period of the accounting change.
This Statement also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived,
nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in
accounting principle.
This Statement carries forward without change the guidance contained in Opinion 20 for reporting the
correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. This
Statement also carries forward the guidance in Opinion 20 requiring justification of a change in accounting
principle on the basis of preferability.
Reasons for Issuing This Statement
This Statement is the result of a broader effort by the FASB to improve the comparability of cross-border
financial reporting by working with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) toward
development of a single set of high-quality accounting standards. As part of that effort, the FASB and the
IASB identified opportunities to improve financial reporting by eliminating certain narrow differences
between their existing accounting standards. Reporting of accounting changes was identified as an area in
which financial reporting in the United States could be improved by eliminating differences between Opinion
20 and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
How the Changes in This Statement Improve Financial Reporting
Under the provisions of Opinion 20, most accounting changes were recognized by including in net income
of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the newly adopted accounting principle.
This Statement improves financial reporting because its requirement to report voluntary changes in
accounting principles via retrospective application, unless impracticable, enhances the consistency of
financial information between periods. That improved consistency enhances the usefulness of the financial
information, especially by facilitating analysis and understanding of comparative accounting data.
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
30
Also, in instances in which full retrospective application is impracticable, this Statement improves
consistency of financial information between periods by requiring that a new accounting principle be applied
as of the earliest date practicable.
This Statement requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived,
nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in
accounting principle. The provisions of this Statement better reflect the fact that an entity should change its
depreciation, amortization, or depletion method only in recognition of changes in estimated future benefits
of an asset, in the pattern of consumption of those benefits, or in the information available to the entity
about those benefits.
A change in accounting principle required by the issuance of an accounting pronouncement was not within
the scope of Opinion 20. Including all changes in accounting principle within the scope of this Statement
establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the transition method for new accounting
standards, but only in the unusual instance that the new accounting pronouncement does not include
explicit transition provisions.
D. Earnings Per Share (EPS)
To calculated shares used to calculate EPS prorate the time shares were outstanding
i.
Control Number: Income from continuing operations adjusted for preferred
dividends
A. This is the case whether potential common shares are dilutive or antidilutive
B. If entity has loss from continuing operations available to common
shareholders, no potential common shares are included to calculate DEPS
amount
C. For BEPS Numerator = Control Number – below the DEC items
D. BEPS Denominator = Weighted Average number of shares
E. DEPS Denominator = WA no. of shares + dilutive potential common shares (if
control number is not a loss) Do not include antidilutive shares
a. Market value is less than exercise price
b. Potential common stock is included in the calculation of DEPS if it
dilutive.
F. Declaration and distribution of stock dividend must be treated as though it
happened at the beginning of the year.
G. OVERVIEW

BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE (BASIC EPS) measures the amount of profit
earned by a company for each share of common stock it has outstanding.

Earnings help to stimulate growth and pay for stockholders’ dividends.

basic earnings per share = net income after taxes / shares common stock
outstanding

DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE (DILUTED EPS) measures the amount of
profit earned by a company for each share of outstanding common stock, but
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
31
also takes into consideration stock options, warrants, preferred stock, and
convertible debt securities which can be converted into common stock.
H. Calculation of EPS
Note:
1. Potential common stock is dilutive if its inclusion in the calculation of EPS
results in a reduction of EPS, or an increase in loss per share.
2. In determining whether potential common stock is dilutive, each issue or
series of issues is considered separately and in sequence from the most
dilutive to the least dilutive.
 The issue with the lowest earnings per incremental share is included in
DEPS before issues with higher earnings per incremental share.
3. If the issue with the lowest earnings per incremental share is found to be
dilutive with respect to BEPS, it is included in a trial calculation of DEPS.
4. This process continues until all issues of potential common shares have been
tested.
Remember:
1. If Market Price is less than Exercise Price = Antidilutive

and at time of conversion. Also, the impact of the computation of earnings per share is presented. The
significance attached to the earnings per share figure by stockholders and potential investors has caused
the accounting profession to direct a great deal of attention to the calculation and presentation of earnings
per share.
I. Dilutive Securities
Dilutive securities are defined as securities that are not common stock in form but that enable
their holders to obtain common stock upon exercise or conversion. The most notable examples include
convertible bonds, convertible preferred stocks, warrants, and contingent shares.
1. Convertible Bonds
In the case of convertible bonds, the conversion feature allows the corporation an opportunity
to obtain equity capital without giving up more ownership control than necessary. Also, the conversion
feature entices the investor to accept a lower interest rate than he or she would normally accept on a
straight debt issue. Accounting for convertible bonds on the date of issuance follows the procedures used
to account for straight debt issues.
Issuance and interest payment of convertible bonds are recorded the same as that of any other
bonds.
If bonds are converted into common stock, the issue price of the stock may be based upon (a)
the market price of the stock or bonds, or (b) the book value of the bonds. The market value method,
while theoretically sound, is subject to criticism because the corporation recognizes a gain or loss as a
result of an equity investment in that corporation. Under the book value method, no gain or loss is
recorded, as the issue price of the stock is recorded at the book value of the bonds. The book value
method has received the most widespread acceptance among practitioners. For example, assume that
Irvine Corporation has convertible bonds with a book value of $3,200 ($3,000 plus $200 unamortized
premium) convertible into 120 shares of common stock ($10 par value) with a current market value of $35
per share. The journal entries to be made under the market value approach and book value approach
would be as follows:
Market Value Approach (less-commen approach)
Bonds Payable
Premium on Bonds

Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par

When an issuer wishes to induce prompt conversion of its convertible debt to equity securities,
the issues may offer some form of additional consideration ("sweetener"). The sweetener should be
reported as an expense of the current period at an amount equal to the fair value of the additional
consideration given.
Convertible debt that is retired without exercise of the conversion feature should be accounted
for as though it were a straight debt issue. Any difference between the cash acquisition price of the debt
and its carrying amount should be reflected currently in income as a gain or loss.
2. Convertible Preferred Stock
Convertible preferred stock is accounted for in the same manner as nonconvertible preferred
stock at date of issuance. When conversion takes place, the book value method is used. Preferred Stock,
along with any related Additional Paid-in Capital, is debited; Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital
(if an excess exists) are credited. If the par value of the common stock issued exceeds the book value of
the preferred stock, Retained Earnings is debited for the difference.
3. Stock Warrants
Stock warrants are certificates entitling the holder to acquire shares of stock at a certain price
within a stated period. Warrants are potentially dilutive, as are convertible securities. However, when stock
warrants are exercised, the holder must pay a certain amount of money to obtain the shares. Also, when
stock warrants are attached to debt, the debt remains after the warrants are exercised.
When detachable stock warrants are attached to debt, the proceeds from the sale should be
allocated between the two securities. This treatment is in accordance with APB Opinion No. 14, and is
based on the fact that the stock warrants can be traded separately from the debt. Allocation of the
proceeds between the two securities is normally made on the basis of their fair market values at the date of
issuance. The amount allocated to the warrants is credited to Paid-in Capital--Stock Warrants. The two
methods of allocation available are (a) the proportional method and (b) the incremental method.
To value the warrants under the proportional method, a value must be placed on the bonds
without the warrants and then on the warrants. For example, assume that Pontell Corporation issued
1,000, $500 bonds with warrants attached for par ($500,000). Each bond has one warrant attached. It is
estimated that the bonds would sell for 98 without the warrants and the value of the warrants in the market
is $25,000. The allocation between the bonds and the warrants would be made as follows:
Fair market value of bonds
Fair market value of warrants

24,272
When detachable warrants are exercised, Cash is debited for the exercise price and Paid-in
Capital-Stock Warrants is debited for the amount assigned to the warrants. The credit portion of the entry
includes Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital. If detachable warrants are never exercised, Paidin Capital Stock Warrants is debited and Paid-in Capital from Expired Warrants is credited. If all the
warrants described above are exercised under the following terms, for $15 cash and one warrant the holder
will receive one share of $5 par value common stock, the journal entry to record the transaction would be
the following:
Cash
Paid-in Capital--Stock Warrants
Common
Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par
15,000
24,272
5,000
34,272
Where the fair value of either the warrants or the bonds is not determinable, the
incremental method may be used. That is, the security for which the market value is determinable is used
and the remainder of the purchase price is allocated to the security for which the market value is not
known.
4. Stock Rights
Stock rights are issued to existing stockholders when a corporation's directors decide to issue
new shares of stock. Each share owned normally entitles the stockholders to one stock right. This
privilege allows each stockholder the right to maintain his or her percentage ownership in the corporation.
No entry is required when rights are issued to existing stockholders.
5. Stock Compensation Plans
(1) A stock option is another form of warrant that arises in stock compensation plans used to pay
and motivate employees. This type of warrant gives selected employees the option to purchase common
stock at a given price over an extended period of time.
(2) According to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, a company is given a
choice in the method of recognizing the cost of compensation under a stock option plan. The two choices
are:
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
35
a. the intrinsic value method, and
b. the fair value method.
The FASB encourages the use of the fair value method; however, if a company uses the
intrinsic value method, it must provide in a note to the financial statements the pro forma net income and
earnings per share, as if it had used the fair value method.
a. The Intrinsic Value Method Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is measured
by the excess of the market price of the stock over its exercise price at the date of grant. The date
the employee receives the options is referred to as the grant date. The problem with this method is
that when the market price and the exercise price are the same, no compensation cost results.
Thus, the FASB still requires a company to disclose in the notes the pro forma net income and
earnings per share amounts as if it had used the fair value method.
b. The Fair Value Method Using the fair value method, total compensation expense is computed
based on the fair value of the options expected to vest on the date the options are granted to the
employees. Vesting occurs on the date the employee’s right to receive stock is no longer
contingent on remaining in the company. Fair value for public companies is to be estimated use an
option pricing model, with some adjustments for the unique factors of employee stock options. No
adjustments are made after the grant date, in response to subsequent changes in the stock price
æ either up or down. Nonpublic companies are permitted to use a "minimum value" method to
estimate the value of the options.
(3) Allocating Compensation Expense In general, under both the fair and intrinsic value methods,
compensation expense is recognized in the periods in which the employee performs the serviceæthe
service period. Unless otherwise specified, the service period is the vesting periodæthe time between the
grant and the vesting date.
To illustrate the accounting for a stock option plan, assume that on September 16, 1998, the
stockholders of Jesilow Company approve a plan that grants the company's three executives options to
purchase 4,000 shares each of the company's $1 par value common stock. The options are granted on
January 1, 1998, and may be exercised at any time within the next five years. The option price per share is
$30, and the market price of the stock at the date of grant is $40 per share. Using the intrinsic value
method, the total compensation expense is computed below:
Market value of 12,000 shares at the date of grant ($40)
Option price of 12,000 shares at the date of grant ($30)
Total compensation expense (intrinsic value)
$480,000
360,000
$120,000
Using the fair value method, total compensation expense is computed by applying an acceptable fair value
option pricing model. We will assume that the fair value option pricing model determines total compensation
expense to be $180,000.
Assuming the expected period of benefit is 3 years (starting with the grant date), the journal entries for each
of the next three years under both methods are as follows:
Intrinsic

Fair Value
36
Compensation Expense
Paid-in Capital--Stock Options
40,000
60,000
40,000
60,000
If all of the options are exercised on July 1, 2002, the journal entries under both methods are as follows:
Paid-in Capital—Stock Options
Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par
Intrinsic
360,000
120,000
12,000
468,000
Fair Value
360,000
180,000
12,000
528,000
If the option is expired, then debit paid in capital – stock options and credit paid in capital – expired stock
options. If the option is forfeited (when the employee leaves the company before the vesting date), then
debit paid in capital – stock options and credit compensation expense.
(4) Noncompensatory Plans Compensation expense is not reported if:
a. Substantially all full-time employees may participate on an equitable basis.
b. The discount from market price is small; and
c. The plan offers no substantive option feature.
II. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share indicates the income earned by each share of common stock. Generally,
earnings per share information is reported below net income in the income statement. When the income
statement contains intermediate components of income (e.g., income from continuing operations), earnings
per share should be disclosed for each component.
1. Simple Capital Structure
A corporation's capital structure is simple if it consists only of common stock or includes no
potentially dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants, or other rights that upon conversion or exercise
could in the aggregate dilute earnings per common share. The formula for computing earnings per share is
as follows:
Net Income – Preferred Dividends
Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding = Earnings per share
If the preferred stock is cumulative and the dividend is not declared in the current year, an amount equal to
the dividend that should have been declared for the current year only should be subtracted from net income
or added to the net loss.
Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding The weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period constitutes the basis for the per share amounts reported. Shares issued or
purchased during the period affect the number of outstanding shares and must be weighted by the fraction
of the period they are outstanding. When stock dividends or stock splits occur, computation of the weighted
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
37
average number of shares requires restatement of the shares outstanding before the stock dividend or split
(they are assumed to have been outstanding since the beginning of the year). If a stock dividend or stock
split occurs after the end of the year, but before the financial statements are issued, the weighted average
number of shares outstanding for the year (and any other years presented in comparative form) must be
restated.
2. Complex Capital Structure
A capital structure is complex if it includes securities that could have a dilutive effect on earnings
per common share. A complex capital structure requires a dual presentation of earnings per share, each
with equal prominence on the face of the income statement. The dual presentation consists of basic EPS
and diluted EPS. Companies with complex capital structures will not report diluted EPS if the securities in
their capital structure are antidilutive (increase EPS).

(1) Diluted EPS—Convertible Securities
The if-converted method is used to measure the dilutive effects of potential conversion on
EPS. The if-converted method for a convertible bond assumes (a) the conversion of convertible
securities at the beginning of the period (or at the time of the issuance of the security, if issued
during the period), and (2) the elimination of related interest, net of tax. Thus the denominator is
increased by the additional shares assumed converted and the numerator is increased by the
amount of interest expense, net of tax associated with those potential common shares.
(2). Dilutive EPS--Stock Options and Warrants
Stock options and warrants outstanding are included in diluted earnings per share unless
they are antidilutive. If the exercise of the option or warrant is lower than the market price of the stock,
dilution occurs. If the exercise price of the option or warrant is higher than the market price of the stock,
common shares are reduced. In this case, the options or warrants are antidilutive because their
assumed exercise leads to an increase in earnings per share.
Treasury Stock Method The treasury stock method is used in determining the dilutive
effect of options and warrants. This method assumes that the proceeds from the exercise of
options and warrants are used to purchase common stock for the treasury. To illustrate the
treasury stock method, assume 2,000 options are outstanding with an exercise price of $25 per
common share. If the market price of the common stock is $60 per share, computation of the
incremental shares using the treasury stock method would be:
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
38
Proceeds from exercise of 2,000 options
$50,000
Shares issued upon exercise of options
2,000
Treasury shares purchasable with proceeds ($50,000/$60) (833)
Incremental shares outstanding (potential common shares)1,167
For both options and warrants, exercise is not assumed unless the average market price of
the stock is above the exercise price during the period being reported. As a practical matter, a
simple average of the weekly or monthly prices is adequate, so long as the prices do not fluctuate
significantly.
III. Other Issues
1. Stock Options—Additional Complications
Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is the difference between the market price
of the stock and the option price on the measurement date. The measurement date is the first date on
which both the number of shares involved and the option price are known. In many instances, the date on
which the option is granted or the stock is awarded serves as the measurement date. Compensation
expense is recognized in the period(s) in which the employee performs the services. If the service period
cannot be clearly defined, the general rule followed is that any method that is systematic and rational is
appropriate.
Three basic types of plans used to compensate key executives and employees are: (1)
incentive or nonqualified stock options plans, (2) stock appreciation rights, and (3) performancetype plans.
The major distinction between an incentive and a nonqualified option plan relates to the tax
treatment afforded the plan. The incentive stock option plan provides the greater tax advantage to the
recipient, while the nonqualified option plan provides a greater tax advantage to the issuing company. In
an incentive stock option plan the market price of the stock and the option price at the date of grant must be
equal. Thus, no compensation expense is recorded in such plans because no excess of market price over
option price exists at the date of grant.
In a nonqualified stock option plan the difference between the market value and option price of
the shares involved at the date of grant should be recorded as deferred compensation expense with an
offsetting credit to paid-in capital-stock options. The deferred compensation expense is then allocated to
a reduction of income over the period of service involved. Failure to exercise the options prior to their
expiration date does not alter previous recognition of the compensation expense.
To illustrate the accounting for a nonqualified stock option plan, assume Meeker Company
announces a plan that grants certain executives options to purchase 15,000 shares of its $5 par value
common stock at any time during the next 5 years at a price of $25 per share. If the options are granted on
January 1, 1998, when the common stock is selling for $38 per share, total compensation expense on the
measurement date (1/l/98) is:
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
39
Market value of 15,000 shares at date of grant ($38 x 15,000) $570,000
Option price of 15,000 shares at date of grant ($25 x 15,000) (375,000)
Total Compensation Expense
$195,000
The journal entry to record the total compensation expense at the date of grant is as follows:
Deferred Compensation Expense
Paid-in Capital--Stock Options
195,000
195,000
The Deferred Compensation Expense is amortized over the expected period of benefit as set by the
company when the option is granted.
2. Stock Appreciation Rights
Stock appreciation rights are a form of employee compensation that avoids some of the cash
flow problems recipients of nonqualified stock option plans face. Under a stock appreciation rights plan, an
employee is given the right to receive share appreciation, which is defined as the excess of the market
price of the stock at the date of exercise over a preestablished price. This share appreciation may be
received in cash, shares of stock, or a combination of both. Compensation cost for the plan at any interim
period is the difference between the current market price of the stock and the option price multiplied by the
number of stock appreciation rights. The measurement date is the date of exercise.
Many executives believe their performance is not accurately reflected in the market price of the
company's stock. As a result, some companies have performance-type incentive plans. These plans
reward key executives for their performance when defined events such as growth in sales, growth in
earnings per share, etc. take place. A performance-type plan's measurement date is the date of exercise
because the benefits to be received (stock or cash) are not assured at the date of grant.

Chapter 5 – Financial Statement Disclosure
A. Significant Accounting Policies


An Accounting policy is a specific principle or a method of applying it.
All Significant accounting policies must be disclosed as an integral part of the
financial statements.
1. A disclosure of significant accounting policies is required when a selection has been
made from existing acceptable alternatives;
a. When the policy is unique to the industry (even if the policy is predominantly
followed in that industry.)
b. GAAP has been applied in an usual or innovative way
e.g. A depreciation method is a selection from existing acceptable alternatives
and should be included in the summary of significant accounting policies
Note: F/S Disclosure should not duplicate details presented elsewhere in the F/S
e.g Composition of plant assets, is already included in the depreciation schedule.
 Items to be disclose include:i.
Basis of Consolidation
ii.
Depreciation Methods
iii.
Amortization of Intangibles
iv.
Inventory Pricing
v.
Recognized profit on long-term construction-type contracts
vi.
Recognition of Revenue from Franchising and leasing operations
vii.
Determining which investments are treated as cash equivalents
B. Segment Reporting
1. Objective: To provide information about the different types of business activities of
the entity and the economic environments in which it operates.
2. Report information about an operating segment if it satisfies one of three tests:i.
Revenues = at lease 10% of combined revenues of reported operating
segments
 Revenues: Sales to external customers, intersegment sales or transfers
ii.
Assets = at lease 10% of combined assets of operating segments
iii.
Absolute amount of reported P/L = 10% of greater, in absolute amount of
a. Combined reported profit of operating segments that did not report a loss,
or
b. Combined reported loss of operating segments that did report a loss.
Note: Revenues include both sales to external customers and intersegment
sales or transfers.
1. Disclose measurement of segment profit or loss (including revenue) and
segment assets.
2. The measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes
of making resource allocation and performance evaluation decisions
regarding the segment. (same for assets)

Assets are not defined as the quantitative threshold for separate reporting of
information about an must be disclosed if sales to that customer are 10% or
more of total revenue. Note: There is no percentage threshold if the sales
are to foreign countries. operating segment.. Therefore, contra asset
accounts are not included as well.
3. To determine operating segment profit or loss: Internal measure of
segment profit or loss reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker is
used.
Allocation of revenues, expenses, gains and losses are included in the
determination of reported segment are included only if they were included in
information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
(Specific items are not included in the calculation) e.g. General Corporate
Expense, Indirect Operating Expense.
To determine segment profit = Sales – Traceable Cost – Allocated
nontraceable cost
- Interest expense is not included
3. The following information about geographic areas is disclosed if practicable:a. External revenues attributed to all foreign countries
b. Material external revenues attributed to an individual foreign country
c. Basis for attributing revenues from external customers
d. Certain information about assets
4. Information about a major (single) customer
 If sales are 10% or more of total revenue
C. Interim Financial Statements
(Interim financial statements cover periods of less than one year)
 They emphasize timeliness over reliability
 Primarily, each interim period is viewed as an integral part of an annual
period.
(a) However – Use same principles as preparing annual statements
1. A market decline reasonably expected to be restored within the fiscal year may be
deferred at interim reporting date because no loss is anticipated for the year.
(favorable or unfavorable)
 Inventory losses from nontemporary market declines must be recognized at
the interim reporting date, and increase if market price increase in later
quarters.

(Do not increase in excess of the previous decrease)

Recognize lost in quarter of loss
 A loss recovery is treated as a change in estimate
 Never write inventory up above original cost.

2. Extraordinary items should be included in the interim period occurred. (do not
prorate)
 Below the DEC items are not deferred but included in interim period when
occurred.
3. If a cost that would be fully expensed in an annual report benefits more than one
interim period, it may be alllocated to those interim periods. E.g. Advertising cost
deferred or accrued.
4. At end of each interim period, make best estimate of effective tax rate
 Should be based upon statutory rate adjusted for current year’s expected
conditions:
i.
Anticipated investment tax credits
ii.
Foreign tax rates
iii.
Percentage depletion
iv.
Capital gains rates
v.
Other tax planning alternatives
a. Include effect of any valuation allowance expected to be necessary
5. If cumulative effect accounting change occurs in other than the first quarter of the
enterprise’s fiscal year, the proper treatment is to calculate the cumulative effect on
retained earnings at the beginning of the year and include it in restated net income
presented in the first quarter financial statements.
 All previously issued interim financial statements of the current year must be
restated to reflect the new accounting method.
D. Related Party Disclosures
1. A related party is any party that controls or can significantly influence the
management or operating policies of the reporting entity.
e.g. Two or more companies under common ownership or management control

2. Financial statements should include disclosures of material related party
transactions other than:
a. Compensation arrangements
b. Expense Allowances
c. Other similar items in the ordinary course of business
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
45
Related parties are:- (Not per diem expenses)
Directors, CEOs, COOs, Vice Presidents of major business functions, and persons
performing similar policy-making functions. (These must all be disclosed)
Note: Do not disclose information that will be eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements.
E. Financial Instruments Disclosures
1. Entities must disclose fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate fair value.
2. Disclosure of information about significant concentrations of credit risk is required for
most financial instrument.
3. Disclosure of information about significant concentrations of credit risk is required for
most financial instruments (exempted: leases and insurance contracts and nonpublic
entities)
Financial Instruments – Cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a
contract that:
i.
Imposes on one entity a contractual obligation
a. to deliver cash or another financial instrument to second entity, or
b. to exchange financial instruments on potentially unfavourable terms with
second entity, and
ii.
Conveys to the second entity a contractual right to
a. receive cash or another financial instrument form the first entity, or
b. to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with
the first entity.
e.g. A note payable in U.S. Treasury bonds
4. Certain entities must disclose the fair value of financial instruments, whether or not
they are recognized in the balance sheet, if estimation is practicable.
5. If it is not practicable for an entity to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument,
the following should be disclose:i.
Information pertinent to estimating the fair value of the financial instrument
ii.
Reasons that estimating fair value is not practicable.
F. Derivatives and Hedging
(Fair Values) = Assets or Liabilities in Financial Position
Derivative = financial instrument or other contract that
1. has (a) one or more underlyings and (b) one or more notional amounts or
provisions, or both
2. requires either no initial net investment or an immaterial net investment; and
3. requires or permits net settlement
Example: The purchase of the forward contract as a hedge of a forecasted need
to purchase wheat
Derivative = Is a wager on whether the value of something will go up or down.
Speculate (incur risk) or hedge (avoid risk). Derivative instruments:a. Call Option – Right to purchase something at an exercise (strike) price
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
46
b. Forward Contract – Negotiated agreement between two parties for stated
among of commodity.
c. Futures Contract - Agreement to make cash settlement during a specified
time interval
d. Interest Rate Swap – Exchange of interest payment fixed for interest payment
floating
e. Put Option – The right to sell something at an exercise (strike) price.
IMPORTANT- Investment in derivatives will hedge against potential price increases.
E.g. if forecasted need is 100 tons of oil over the next 6 months, a company can enter
into a forward contract to purchase 100 tons of oil. (THIS IS A HEDGE)
I.
if Fair Value/or foreign fair value increase – include in earnings in period of
change
Only if – Its a foreign currency exposure of an available-for-sale security
a. These are offset by losses or gains on hedged item attributable to risk being
hedged
 Earnings = Net gain/loss attributable to the ineffective portion of the hedge
1. Ineffective portion = net decrease
Effective portion = net increase
2. Notional Amount = number of currency units, shares, bushels, pounds, etc.
Hedging – Purchase of sale of derivative or other instrument that neutralizes risk of a
recognized asset of liability. These include:
a. Firm commitment
b. A forecasted transaction
 Fair Value Hedge – Exposure to changes in fair value of recognized asset or
liability
(i)
Ineffective Portion = Report in Earnings
(ii)
Effective Portion = Report in OCI
 Cash Flow Hedge – Exposure to variability in C/F of a recognized asset or
liability
A. At Y/E include G/L in OCI
B. Reclassify when transaction is completed as G/L. Remove from OCI
e.g. Hedge of a foreign currency exposure of a forecasted foreign-currencydenominated transaction.
 Foreign Currency Fair Value Hedge – Hedges a foreign currency exposure of
an unrecognized firm commitment.

Firm Commitment: Agreement with unrelated party, this firm commitment is
i.
Binding on both parties
ii.
Usually legally enforceable
iii.
Specifies all significant terms
iv.
Includes a disincentive for nonperformance
Forecasted Transaction – Transaction that is expected to occur for which there is no
firm commitment.
G. Unconditional Purchase Obligations
 These are: Commitment to transfer funds in the future for fixed or minimum
amounts of goods or services at fixed or minimum prices.
Disclosure of Long-Term Obligations provides the standards of accounting for an
unconditional purchase obligation that
i.
Negotiated as part of financing arrangement to provide contracted goods or
services
ii.
Has remaining life of more than 1 year
iii.
Is noncancelable, but cancelable only under specific terms
Include:a. Occurrence of a remote contingency
b. With permission of other party
c. Replacement agreement signed by same parties
 Not cancelable upon payment of a nominal penalty.
Unconditional Purchase Obligations not recorded in Balance Sheet
1. Not a requirement, but an encouragement:
 To disclose amount of imputed interest necessary to reduce unconditional
purchase obligation to its present value.
i. If known by the purchaser (initial debt rate that provided the contracted
goods or services.
2. Disclosures required are: Nature and terms of obligation
 Variable components of obligation
 Amounts of obligation purchase for each period an income statement is
presented
 Fixed and determinable portion of obligations in of latest Balance Sheet for
each of next 5 years:i.
The aggregate amount of payments for unconditional purchase
obligations
ii.
The aggregated amount of maturities and sinking-fund requirements
for all long-term borrowings, and
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson

iii.
The amount at which all issues of stock are redeemable at fixed or
determinable prices on fixed or determinable dates.
H. Significant Risks and Uncertainties
SOP 94-6, Disclosure of Certain Significant and Uncertainties is an important
pronouncement on disclosures. Required disclosures include risks and uncertainties at
the balance sheet date that could significantly affect reported amounts in the near term,
that is, within 1 year of the balance sheet date.
 Current vulnerability due to concentrations must be disclosed if certain
conditions are met.
 Disclosure is necessary if management knows prior to issuance of the
statements that the concentration exists at the balance sheet date,
 It makes the entity vulnerable to a near-term severe impact
 Such impact is at least reasonably possible in the near term.
 A severe impact may result from:
 loss of all or a part of a business relationship,
 price or demand changes,
 loss of a patent,
 changes in available of a resource or right, or
 the disruption of operations in a market or geographic area.

Chapter 6 – Statement of Cash Flows
A. General
 Changes in cash and cash equivalents during the period are to be explained in a
statement of cash flows.
 Primary Purpose:i.
Provide information about receipts and payments of a during a period. It also
helps
a. Investors, creditors, and other users to assess ability to generate cash
inflows
 Cash Equivalents: Short-term, highly liquid investments, no risk of change in value
because maturity date is so near.
I. Ordinarily include only investments with original maturities to the holder of 3
months or less.
II. Cash Equivalents has no effect on statement of cash flows.
SFAS 95 states – Do not report cash flow per share (because it might imply that C/F is
alternative to N/I as a measurement performance.)
Disclose:
i.
Information about transactions that do not directly affect cash flow for the
period
ii.
E.g.
a. Converting debt to equity (disclose as supplemental info. In C/F
Statement)
b. Obtaining assets by assuming liabilities or capital lease
c. Obtaining building or investment asset by receiving a gift
d. Exchanging noncash asset or liability for another


Operating activities may be reported in the statement of cash flows using the direct
or indirect method. (SFAS 95 encourages the use of the direct method.)
For direct method, an entity should at minimum, report the following classes of gross
operating cash receipts and payments:
a. Cash Collected from customers
b. Interest and dividends received
c. Other operating cash receipts, if any
d. Cash paid to employees and other suppliers of goods or services
e. Interest paid
f. Income taxes paid
g. Other operating cash payments, if any
The indirect method reconciles net income of a business enterprise or the change in
net assets of a non-for-profit organization to net operating cash flow. It removes
from net income or the change in net assets the effects of:
a. All past deferrals of operating cash receipts and payments
b. All accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments
c. Items whose cash effects are investing or financing cash flows
Note: The same net operating cash flow will be reported under both methods.
h. The reconciliation of net income to net operating cash flow must be disclosed
regardless of the presentation chosen.
C. Direct vs Indirect Presentation (Review)
Statement of cash flows may be reported using:a. Direct Presentation (SFAS 95 Encourages)
Following classes of gross operating cash receipts and payment (minimum)

Investments: Special Notes
The problems of accounting for investments involve measurement, recognition and
disclosure. Companies usually invest in either debt securities or equity securities. Chapter 18
covers both investment in debt and equity securities. The first section presents accounting for
investment in debt securities; the second section covers accounting for investment in equity
securities.
I. Investment in Debt Securities
1.
What are debt securities?
Debt Securities are instruments representing a creditor relationship with an enterprise.
Debt securities include U.S. government securities, municipal securities, corporate bonds,
convertible debt, commercial paper, and all securitized debt instruments.
2.
Accounting for debt securities depends on how long the company intends to hold the debt
securities.
Specifically, Debt securities are grouped into the following three separate categories:
a. Held-to-maturity: Debt securities that the enterprise has the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity.
Held-to-maturity debt securities are accounted for at amortized cost, not fair value. A Held-to-Maturity
Securities account is used to indicate the type of debt security purchased. Discounts and premiums on
long-term investments in bonds are amortized in a manner similar to discounts and premiums on bonds
payable. The effective interest method is required unless some other method—such as straight-line—
yields a similar result.
b. Trading: Debt securities bought and held primarily for sale in the near term to generate
income on short-term price differences.
Trading securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as part
of net income. Any discount or premium is not amortized. A holding gain or loss is the net change in
the fair value of a security from one period to another, exclusive of dividend or interest revenue
recognized but not received. A valuation account called "Securities Fair Value Adjustment (Trading)" is
used instead of debiting or crediting the Trading Securities account.
c. Available-for-sale: Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities.
Available-for-sale debt securities are reported at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses related to
changes in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities are recorded in an unrealized holding gain
or loss account. This account is reported as other comprehensive income and as a separate
component of stockholders' equity until realized. A valuation account called "Securities Fair Value
Adjustment (Available-for-Sale)" is used instead of debiting or, crediting the Available-for-Sale
Securities account to enable the company to maintain a record of its amortized cost.
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
58
If bonds carried as investments in available-for-sale securities are sold before the maturity date,
entries must be made to amortize the discount or premium to the date of sale and to remove form the
Available-for-Sale Securities account the amortized cost of bonds sold. The realized gain or loss is
reported in the Other Revenues and Gains section or the Other Expenses and Losses section of the
income statement.
Example #1
II. Investment in Equity Securities
1. What are equity securities?
Equity securities are described as securities representing ownership interest such as
common, preferred, or other capital stock. They also include rights to acquire or dispose of
ownership interests at an agreed upon or determinable price such as warrants, rights, and call
options or put options.
2.
Accounting for investment in equity securities depends on the degree of investor’s
influence over (or control of) the investee which usually is determined by the percentage of the
voting stock of the investee held by the investor.
Holding
a. Less than 20%
b. Between 20% and 50%
c. More than 50%
Method
Fair Value Method (no significant influence)
Equity Method (significant influence)
Consolidated Statements (controlling interest)
a. Fair Value Method
When an investor has an interest of less than 20%, it is presumed that the investor
has little or no influence over the investee. If market prices are available, the investment
is valued and reported subsequent to acquisition using the fair value method. The fair
value method requires that companies classify equity securities at acquisition as
available-for-sale securities or trading securities.
When acquired, available-for-sale equity securities are recorded at cost. Net
income earned by the investee is not considered a proper basis for recognizing income
from the investment by the investor. Therefore, net income is not considered earned by
the investor until cash dividends are declared by the investee. The net unrealized gains
and losses related to changes in the fair value are recorded in an Unrealized Holding Gain
or Loss-Equity account that is reported as a part of other comprehensive income and as a
separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.
The accounting entries to record trading equity securities are the same as for
available-for-sale equity securities except for recording the unrealized holding gain or
loss. For trading equity securities, the unrealized holding gain or loss is reported as part
of net income.

b. Equity Method
When an investor has a holding interest of between 20% and 50% in an investee
corporation, the investor is generally deemed to exercise significant influence over
operating and financial policies of the investee. The FASB has also listed other factors to
consider in determining whether an investor can exercise "significant influence" over an
investee. In instances of "significant influence," the investor is required to account for
the investment using the equity method.
Under the equity method the investment's carrying amount is periodically
increased (decreased) by the investor's proportionate share of the earnings (losses) of the
investee and decreased by all dividends received by the investor from the investee. The
investor must record as separate components the amount of ordinary and extraordinary
income as reported by the investee.
Under the equity method, if an investor's share of the investee's losses exceeds the
carrying amount of the investment, the investor should discontinue applying the equity
method and not recognize additional losses (unless the investor's loss is not limited).
The following transactions illustrate the journal entries for an investment
accounted for under the equity method.
a. On 1/3/99 Workowski Corporation purchased 55,000 shares (26%) of Wendy
Company at a cost of $8 per share.

c. Consolidated Financial Statements
When one corporation (the parent) acquires a voting interest of more than 50% in
another corporation (the subsidiary), the investor corporation is deemed to have a
controlling interest. When the parent treats the subsidiary as an investment,
consolidated financial statements are generally prepared instead of separate financial
statements for the parent and the subsidiary. The subject of when and how to prepare
consolidated financial statements is discussed extensively in advanced accounting. If
the parent and the subsidiary prepare separate financial statements, the investment in the
common stock of the subsidiary is presented as a long-term investment on the financial
statements of the parent under the equity method.
III. Financial Statement Presentation of Investments
As indicated, unrealized holding gains and losses related to available-for-sale
securities are reported as part of other comprehensive income. The reporting of changes in
unrealized gains or losses in comprehensive income is straightforward unless securities are sold
during the year—then a reclassification adjustment is necessary.
Held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and trading securities should be presented
separately on the balance sheet or in the related notes. Trading securities should be reported at
aggregate fair value as current assets. Individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale
securities are classified as current or noncurrent depending upon the circumstances.
IV.
Other Issues
1. Impaired Investments
Each period every investment must be evaluated to determine if it has suffered a loss
in value that is other than temporary (an impairment). If an investment is deemed impaired, the
cost basis of the individual security is written down to a new cost basis. The amount of the
writedown is accounted for as a realized loss and, therefore, included in net income.
2. Transfers Between Categories
Transfers between any of the investment categories are accounted for at fair value.
When transferring from trading investments to available-for-sale investments, stockholders'
equity and net income are not affected. When transferring from available-for-sale investments to
trading investments, unrealized gains or losses reported in stockholders' equity are reversed and
the gain or loss is recognized in net income.
Recording the Transfer of Securities When transferring from held-to-maturity debt
securities to available-for-sale debt securities, a Securities Fair Value Adjustment account
is used to record the difference between cost and dair value, other comprehensive income
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
61
and stockholder's equity is increased (decreased) due to the recognition of the unrealized
holding gain (loss), but net income is not affected. When transferring from available-forsale debt securities to held-to-maturity debt securities, the amount in Securities Fair
Value Adjustment (Held-to-Maturity) is transferred to Unrealized Holding Gain—Equity,
and the Securities Fair Value Adjustment balance and the Unrealized Holding Gain (or
Loss) are amortized over the remaining life of the investments.
Change from the Equity Method If the investor level of influence or ownership falls
below that necessary for continued use of the equity method, a change must be made to
the fair value method. The earnings or losses that were previously recognized by the
investor under the equity method should remain as part of the carrying amount of the
investment with no retroactive restatement to the new method.
Change to the Equity Method When converting to the equity method, a retroactive
adjustment is necessary. Such a change involves adjusting retroactively the carrying
amount of the investment, results of current and prior operations, and retained earnings of
the investor as if the equity method had been in effect during all of the previous periods
in which this investment was held.
3. Dividends Received in Stock
Shares received as a result of a stock dividend or stock split do not constitute revenue
to the recipients. The recipient of such additional shares would make no formal entry, but should
make a memorandum entry and record a notation in the investments account to show that
additional shares have been received.
4. Funds
Assets set aside in special purpose funds are of two general types: (a) those in which
cash is set aside for meeting specific current obligations and (b) those that are not directly related
to current operations and are therefore in the nature of long-term investments. Examples of the
first type include the following:
Fund
Petty Cash Fund
Payroll Cash Account
Dividends Cash Account
Interest Fund
Purpose
Payment of small expenditures, in currency
Payment of salaries and wages
Payment of dividends
Payment of interest on long-term debt
Examples of funds not directly related to current operations and the purpose of each
are:
Fund
Sinking Fund
Purpose
Payment of long-term indebtedness
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
62
Plant Expansion Fund
Stock Redemption Fund
Contingency Fund
Purchase of construction of additional plant
Retirement of capital stock (usually preferred stock)
Payment of unforeseen obligations
To keep track of the assets, revenues, and expenses of funds, it is desirable to maintain
separate accounts. If the securities purchased for the fund are to held temporarily, they would be
treated in the accounts in the same manner as temporary investments.
Although funds and reserves (appropriations) are not similar, they are sometimes
confused because they may be related and often have similar titles. A fund is always an asset
and always has a debit balance; a reserve is an appropriation of retained earnings, always has a
credit balance, and is never an asset.

Chapter 8 – Receivables and Accruals
A. Fundamentals
 Noncurrent Receivable – will not be collected within 1 year or operating cycle
i.
Should be treated as an investment
 Current Receivable – Will be collected within 1 year or operating cycle.
 Accounting Loss: The loss that may have to be recognized due to credit and market
risk that may have to be recognized due to credit and market risk as a direct result of
the rights and obligations of a financial instrument.
 Off-Balance-Sheet risk arises because of the existence of conditional rights and
obligations that may expose the entity to a risk of accounting loss exceeding the
amount recognized in the balance sheet. E.g. recourse obligations on
receivables sold.
B. Uncollectible Accounts
1. Allowance Method – is GAAP (matches expense with revenues) (accrual
accounting)
Two ways to estimate uncollectible accounts:i.
Aging of A/R (Asset Valuation) = adjustment to valuation
ii.
Bad Debt as % of sales (Income Statement) = credit sales x percentage
Uncollectible Accounts Expense
xx
Allow for Uncollectible Accounts
xx
 Collection of previously written off account
1. Reinstate account (increase receivables and allowance)
2. Decrease receivable by cash collected
2. Direct Method – Not GAAP, (no matching) expense only when uncollectibility is
established.
C. Other Measurement Issues
1. Trade Discounts – for a particular class of customer: Benefits, no need to reprint
catalog for price changes.
a. Buyer nor seller reflects trade discounts
2. FOB Shipping Point – Title passes when goods are delivered to shipper
a. 2/10, n/30 = 2% discount if payment within 10 days, but net payment term is 30
days

4. Right of Return – Sale may be recognized at time of sale when these conditions are
met:
1. Substantial fixed Price
2. Buyer has paid or there is no contingency to pay
3. Buyer obligation is unchanged by damage, theft, destruction of product
4. Buyer economic substance is different from seller
5. No significant obligation by seller regarding resale of product by buyer
6. Amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated
D. Accounts Receivable – Disposition
1. Generating Cash from Accounts Receivable:
a. Assignment – Named accounts are pledged as collateral for a loan
I.
A/R remains property of assignor
II.
Cash is remitted to assignee
b. Factoring – Sold outright at a discount to a third party
i.
This is on a nonrecourse, notification basis
 Transaction is treated as sale to buyer who accepts risk of collectibility
 Seller bears no responsibility for losses
2. Control over transferred financial assets is deemed surrendered when:i.
Assets are beyond reach of transferor or its creditors (even in bankrupcy)
ii.
Transferee has right, free of constraining conditions to exercise, pledge,
exchange rights.
iii.
Transferor had no control and is not party to agreement to repurchase or
redeem prior to maturity.
3. Transfer of Financial Assets:1. Derecognize any all assets sold
2. Recognize all assets obtained and liabilities incurred (if practicable)
3. Initially measure at Fair Value any assets obtained and liabilities incurred (if
practicable)
4. Recognized any gain or loss in earnings
 Assets obtained – liabilities occurred
i. Cash + interest rate swap + call option = Assets obtained – Recourse
obligation – Carrying amount)
E. Notes Receivable – Measurement
Note bearing interest at a reasonable rate (entry at issuance)
 PV is face amount (principal x rate x time)
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson

Interest Receivable
XX
Unearned Int. Rev.

1. Interest rate is presumed to be fair when note is exchange for services
2. If rate is not stated, or rate is unreasonable,
i.
Record note and services at fair value of service or market value of note
(whatever is more clearly determinable)
ii.
If these values are not present, then record note and service using present
value.
 PV = discounting future payments on note using imputed rate
F. Notes Receivable - Discounting
Calculation of proceeds: Interest:
Principal x interest rate x time
 Maturity Value: Principal + Interest
 Discount:
Maturity Value x Bank Rate x (time remaining)
 Proceeds:
Maturity Value - Discount
G. Affiliated Company Receivables
Related Party – An enterprise and its equity-based investees
1. Receivable should be disclosed separately and fully
2. Separate treatment for nontrade receivables
3. In consolidated balance sheets, reciprocal balances should be eliminated
e.g. payables and receivables
 Intercompany transactions should not be eliminated form the separate financial
statements of the entities.

1. FOB – Shipping Point: Becomes property of buyer when shipped
2. FOB – Destination: Becomes property of buyer when tender of delivery is made
 Seller bears risk of delivering goods to designated point.
 REMEMBER:
1. Freight Cost paid by Consignee should be included in consignee’s A/R
(Consignment-in)
2. SFAS 49: Accounting for Product Financing Arrangement, requires that a
transaction in which a product is sold subject to repurchase at specified prices
of the product, of a substantially identical product, or of processed goods of
which the product is a component, be treated as a borrowing if the specified
prices only fluctuate to cover changes in purchasing, financing, and holding
costs.
 The money received is accounted for as a liability rather than as a sale.
Note: When BI is understated, CGS will be understated
When EI is overstated, CGS will be understated
B. Cost Accounting for Inventory
Cost – expenditure incurred in bringing an article to its existing location (freight,
Insurance)
- Interest cost is not capitalized for inventory, only constructed assets
- Net method will include freight cost
 Purchases should be recorded net of trade discounts
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
70
C. Cost Flows – FIFO, Average Cost, and LIFO
1. Weighted-average inventory pricing : applicable to periodic inventory systems
Unit Cost = (Total goods available divided by no. of units available)
2. Moving-average system – applicable only to perpetual inventories
 It requires that a new weighted average be computed after every purchase
 Based on inventory held and new inventory purchased.
 In period of rising prices = higher unit and total inventory cost because most
recent purchases are given greater weight in the calculation.
3. FIFO – Higher inventory than LIFO in period of rising prices
 FIFO sells old inventory/low cost first
i.
Y/E inventory is high & CGS is low
 LIFO sells new inventory/high cost first
i.
Y/E inventory is low & CGS is high
4. LIFO Reserve – Allowance account that adjusts an internal reporting method to LIFO
This works similar to an allowance account. A balance is maintained to between a
LIFO balance and another method.
Cost of goods sold
xx
LIFO Reserve
xx
LIFO account is being decrease to bring in line with another method (could go the
other way)
D. Dollar-Value LIFO
Dollar-Value LIFO – Accumulates inventoriable cost of similar items
i.
Similar and can be used interchangeably
ii.
Belonging to same product line
iii.
Constituting raw materials for a given product
 Determines changes in EI in terms of dollars of constant purchasing power
(not in units of physical inventory)
 Calculation requires a specific price index for each year
Double-extension approach – states inventory at current year cost and divide by baseyear cost
= index for current year.
Inv. at Current Year Cost
INV at Base Year Cost
 Indexes are then multiplied by inventory layers at base-year cost
E. Lower of Cost or Market (LCM)
Market = Current cost subject to maximum and minimum values
Maximum = Net Realizable Value
Minimum = Net Realizable Value – Normal Profit
Use Replacementt when it (Falls between NRV and NRV-NP)
Galilee College – Intermediate Accounting I © Dr. Willis L. Johnson
71

Replacement cost becomes the market value
Market (Replacement Cost) < NRV – ceiling
Market (Replacement Cost) > NRV – NP floor
Note: 1. Replacement cost cannot be greater than Ceiling or less than Floor
2. RC must be lower than original cost
Applying this rule separately to individual items will give a lower inventory
F. Gross Profit Method
Gross profit method – permitted for interim statements, but not year end
- Adequate disclosure of reconciliation must be made with annual physical inventory
at year-end.
G. Retail Method
1. Retail Inventory Method: Records are kept of beg. Inv. and net. Purchases at both
cost and retail.
 Other items affecting retail only: (and not cost)
a. Sales Return
b. Mark-ups and Mark-downs
 Freight-in is an element of cost only
2. Purchase returns are deducted for both cost and retail calculations
3. If FIFO is used, Beg. Inventory is subtracted from Net purchases
 Also, Cost to Retail percentage will be based on net purchases (cost/retail)
4. LCM Retail Method = normal calculation
 Cost/Retail percentage Is calculated based on goods available for sale
5. Dollar-Value LIFO Retail – convert inventory at retail year end prices to base year
prices to determine liquidation (-) or layers (+).
 Multiply layers by price index
 Then multiply by cost-retail ratios
H. Purchase Commitments
 An agreement, usually enforceable
 Disincentives for nonperformance.
Losses arising from a purchase commitment not yet exercised.
1. If market price decline below commitment price – accrue a loss
2. Commitment is not recorded at time of agreement
3. Purchase commitment is noncanceable
 Loss is measured similar to inventory
 Disclose as losses on income statement of period during which the decline in
price takes place.

Accounting News
On December 6, 2004, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants held a significant joint meeting at the Harbor Side
Financial Centre in Jersey City, New Jersey. At this joint session
which included the National Association of State Boards of
Accountancy and the Prometric Testing Center, certain CPA Review
Providers were invited, which included, Dr. Irvin Gleim of Gliem
Publication, Dr. Willis L. Johnson, of the Galilee CPA Review, and
other leaders in the provisioning of CPA education. Both Dr. Gleim
and Dr. Johnson attended the original meeting for the new Computer
Based Examination on December 15, 2003 a the AICPA headquarters
in New York.
Dr. Johnson called for local CPA testing in the Bahamas and other countries outside the U.S. Supported by Dr.
Gleim and other review providers, Dr. Johnson substantiated his plea by referring to charges for hotel, airline, meals,
transportation and excessive time in the U.S. He indicated that although the exams can now be taken in Miami, CPA
candidates have experienced numerous difficulties that are financially and emotionally burdensome. Dr. Johnson
presented cases where the Prometric system either crashed, malfunctioned or encountered other administrative
difficulties.
Further he said, that the state boards take an unusual long time before a candidate can receive his or her Notice to
Schedule. Some time at least four month. While he said that these problems might exist if testing is locally done, at
least, candidates will be at home and the cost of rescheduling will not be difficult to bear.
During the session it was reported that some 308 Bahamian candidates sat the CPA exam in 2003. While the 2004
statistics were not completed, Dr. Johnson indicated that there will be an increase in numbers due to the increase in
his volume of candidates engaged in the Galilee CPA Review Program.
As a result of the widespread support for local testing outside the U.S. , a task force was appointed to present a white
paper to the AICPA by mid January 2005. This white paper will address the following issues:




International volume
Disadvantages if the Exam is not administered outside the U.S.
Additional testing administrative fee
Internationally security issues
Examination Frequency
David Ginsburg, President and CEO of Prometric, who supports local testing in the Bahamas and other countries
outside the U.S will address security issues.
