.Financial liabilities

what is the measurement for Redeemable preference shares?

Financial assets

what is the initial measurement?

A

Fair Value- how much we paid for it + transations costs e.g. broker costs (directly attributable to the asset)

(would include transaction cost unless it is subsequently measured at Fair Value through P/L

Q

Financial assets

how are equity instruments measured under the Fair value through Profit and loss method

A

Transation costs aren’t capitalised- expensed to P/L

->Any transaction costs associated with the purchase of these investments are expensed to profit or loss, and are not included within the initial value of the asset.

Q

Financial assets

how are equity instruments measured under the Fair value through OCI

A

If shares are not held for trading (I.e. long term investment)

Transaction costs ARE capitalised

This method must be elected on ACQUISITION. CANNOT change the measurement method FVOCI once chosen

Gain or Looses taken to OCI (as part of investment reserve shown in Equity section)

**Normally, revalulation reserve cannot be negative but for equity instrument measured using FVOCI, it is POSSIBLE to have a negative investment reserve

Q

Financial assets

what are the subsequent measurements available for debt instruments

and the default if no other information is given

A

Measurement can be

1) FVPL (Default for Debt investment (similar to equity investment))

2) FVOCI
3) Amortised Cost

20
Q

Financial assets

how are debt instruments subsequently measured under the Fair value through Profit and loss method

A

exactly the same as equity instrument

Transation costs aren’t capitalised- expensed to P/L

->Any transaction costs associated with the purchase of these investments are expensed to profit or loss, and are not included within the initial value of the asset.

21
Q

Financial assets

what criteria must be met for debt instruments to be subsequently measured under the FVOCI and Amortised cost

A

If two tests are passed
.
1) Business model test (Entity’s purpose–Hold to collect till maturity / + sell if they can realise higher returns )
.
2) Contractual cash flow characteristics (solely principle repayments and interests)

22
Q

Financial assets

what criteria must be met for debt instruments to be subsequently measured under Amortised cost

A

1) the investment needs to be held until the end of it’s life (maturity) (satisfying the business model test)
2) and the cashflows arising relate only to principle repayments and interests received (satisfying the contractual cash flow characteristics test).

23
Q

Financial assets

after meeting the two criteria for debt instruments to be subsequently measured under Amortised cost

how is this actually measured under amortised cost

A

Bfwd + Finance cost (effective %) - Payment (Nominal %) = Cfwd

This gives ye year end asset value

24
Q

Financial assets

what is the difference in the criteria that must be met for debt instruments to be subsequently measured under FVOCI or amortised

A

For amortised the business model test must be to hold till maturity AND the contractual CF must solely be repayments and interest

whereas for FVOCI, the contractual CF is the same BUT for the business model test it can be sold if higher returns can be realised

25
Q

Financial assets

what criteria must be met for debt instruments to be subsequently measured under FVOCI

A

the investment needs to be held until maturity but could be sold if it is being replaced by an investment which will give higher returns than the current one (satisfying the business model test).

The contractual cash flow characteristics test is the same

26
Q

Financial assets

after meeting the two criteria for debt instruments to be subsequently measured under FVOCI

how is this actually measured under FVOCI

A

FVTOCI instruments are initially measured at fair value less any costs in relation to issuing the instrument.

Interest income is calculated using the effective rate of interest, in the same way as the amounts that would have been recognised in profit or loss if using amortised cost. The interest income will also get allocated to the profit or loss

At the reporting date, the asset will be revalued to fair value with the gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income. This will be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the asset.

Q

Compound Instruments (Equity + Liability component)

what is the initial measurement

A

1) Value debt at inception
- >Fair Value

FV= PV of future cash flows (Interest + Capital repayment) discounted using the market rate of interest available for non-convertible debt instrument

2) Find the equity option

This is the residual amount between cash received & value of the liability at inception

  • Equity option should be recorded under Equity (SOFP)
    • Disclosed in SOCIE
32
Q

Compound Instruments (Equity + Liability component)

what is the subsequent measurement

A

1) Value debt
- > Amortised cost using effective interest rate method

2) equity
* The equity is NOT re-measured and remains at the same value on the SOFP until the debt is redeemed.

IFRS 7 Disclosures

what are the Disclosures required for financial instruments

A

Carrying amount of each financial instrument

When revaluing to Fair value - Any income, expenditure, gains or losses within the statement of P/L or OCI

Any risk associated with the financial instruments, and steps management are taking to mitigate the risks.
