Q
  1. Contingent liabilities and restructurings are accrued prior to cash disbursement. Thus, tax authorities will not allow a company to realize the tax benefit of those deductions until the cash disbursements have been made. Thus, a deferred tax asset is created.
  2. Deferred tax liabilities result when a company has accelerated deductions, thus leaving future periods with little tax deductions, thus resulting in higher taxes..
A
  1. Explain the logic behind deferred tax assets in regards to contingent liabilities and restructurings.
  2. Explain how deferred tax liablities result.

Q

I need to perform transaction analysis to get the true amount of cash received. For example, if the change in investments is (4), that indicates that the firm sold the investment and recieved money. However, that does not reflect all of the cash received, becuase of the way gains are accounted for. Thus, if the change was (4) and the gain was 5, then the total cash received for that sale was 9. So, that will be the adjustment for CFI, but I have to subtract the gain of 5 in order to avoid double counting.

Identifiable intangible assets have specific, known rights such as patents, copyrights, and logos.

Amortizable intangible assets have a definite life span.

A

What are identifiable intangible assets, and what are amortizable intangible assets?

56
Q

Companies recognize that little R&M will be spent in the early years of the asset, but it will have greater R&M as the asset gets older. Thus, depreciation expense will be greater in the beginning, offset by low R&M. Conversely, in the latter years high R&M will be offset by low depreciation expense.

A factor of 2 is applied to the straightline rate. For example, if the useful life is three years, then 1 year of depreciation via straightline will be 1/3. However, for a double declining balance method, it would be 2/3. That 2/3 would be used for future years’ calculations.

A

Why would a company want to utilize double declining balance as a method for depreciation?

Explain double declining balance concept.

57
Q
  1. Identify what % of ownership occurs
  2. Multiply that % of ownership to the NI and adjust based on that

Example:

($100) cash

$100 investment

Then

$5 investment

$5 investment income

This is different from the fair value method because the investment is not marked to market, but rather the investment account is adjusted based on the investee’s NI. Also, the resulting increase flows to investment income, rather than a gain or AOCI.

Also, the investment income can be a part of the investor’s operating income if the investor and investee are in the same business. If they are different business types, then it would go to non-operating income

A

How are adjustments using the equity method derived?

Example:

Assume an investor buys 25% of an investee for $100. After 1 year, the investee reports $20 of NI. Make the journal entries.

How does this method differ from the fair-value method?

What determines whether equity method investments are a part of operating or non-operating income?

$7,000 gain (owner’s equity)

A

Example:

A firm purchased machinery for $50,000. The asset had a $5,000 residual value over a 5 year estimated life. The firm uses the double declining balance method. After 2 years, the company sells the machine for $25,000. (Current book value is $18,000). Make the entry to record the disposition.

80
Q

CFO= NI+Depreciation/Amortization expense - Gains + Losses - Changes in CFO-related assets + Changes in CFO related liabilities

You subtract changes in CFO related assets to avoid double counting within NI. For example, if AR increases, that increase is going to NI. However, that is not a cash increase, but remember that it is reflected in NI. So, remove the AR affect from the cash profile.

On the contrary, imagine AP increasing. That is an expense reducing NI, which is the starting point for CFO. So, to remove the deducation, the change needs to be added.

Gains/losses from investments/PPE need to be adjusted for as well. Refer to the income statement

Q

If a piece of equipment or building is used for production, the depreciation for that will be capitalized to inventory and then expensed via COGS.

I would add the depreication in the IS and compare it with the cash flow statement as well as look in note disclosures, etc. I have to recognize that depreciation is hidden in COGS and sometimes SG&A. Therefore, IS depreciation will not always tie to cash flow depreciation.

A

How would you reconcile depreciation between the IS and Cash Flow?

91
Q

Interest is capitalized when firms construct assets for its own use.

Total Interest=principal x rate x time

Capitalized interest= expenditure x rate x time

Example:

Total interest = $5,000,000 x 10% x 1 = $500,000

Capitalized Interest = $1,500,000 x 10% x 1 = $150,000

Interest expense = $350,000

$150,000 Building (CIP)

$500,000 interest payable

($350,000 interest expense)
