Chapter 2 - Matching, Foreign Currency, Other FS Presentation Flashcards
What is the criteria for revenue recognition of a contract?
Signed contract/written confirmation
Delivery of goods (risks/rewards transferred)
Price is fixed
Collection reasonably assured
When do you recognize royalty revenue? Services? Unearned revenue?
As time passes (when earned)
When services rendered
Recognize as liability on BS
What are start-up costs? How are they treated?
One time organizational costs for new businesses
Expenses when incurred (can write off $5k for taxes)
How do you treat R&D costs (GAAP)? Any exceptions & their treatments?
Expensed when incurred
Exceptions: Tangible assets with alternative future uses (capitalize & depreciated over useful life)
R&D on behalf of others in contract
How do you treat R&D costs (IFRS)?
All research costs expensed
Some development costs can be capitalized
Which items are not considered R&D?
Periodic changes Marketing research QC testing Staff training costs Chemical compound reformation
How do you treat costs related to computer software to be sold/leased?
Expense costs until technological feasibility
Capitalize costs after technological feasibility up until sold over GREATER of % of revenue or straight line
What is the capitalization % of revenue & straight line formula?
% of Rev = Tot Cap. Amt. * (Curr. Gross Rev for period / Tot Proj. Gross Rev. for period)
Straight line: Totl. Cap. Amt * (1 / Est. Economic life)
How do you treat costs related to computer software to be used internally? What if you then decide to sell the software?
Expense costs before prelim.project state (NOT R&D)
Capitalize costs after prelim. project state using straight line
Cost recovery method applied
How are initial franchise fees recorded by the franchisor? Franchisee? When can revenue be earned?
Franchisor: unearned revenue (liability)
Franchisee: intangible asset & amortized over life Recognized fully when substantially complete (1st day of operations) even if not everything received
How are continuing franchise fees recorded by franchisor? Franchisee?
Franchisor: unearned revenue until earned
Franchisee: expense as incurred
How do you record & treat purchased intangible assets? Internally developed intangible asset?
record at cost & capitalize
expense cost when incurred (R&D NOT capitalized)
Give examples of R&D that are expensed. Which ones can be capitalized (GAAP)?
Expensed: trademarks, GW from advertising, cost of developing/maintaining/restoring GW
Capitalized: successful legal fees, registration/consulting fees, design costs, other direct costs to secure asset
How are intangible assets amortized? GW?
Indefinite lives are not amortized
Finite lives shorter of estimated life or remaining legal life (straight-line)
GW not amortized instead tested for impairment annually
How do you value an intangible asset (GAAP)?
GAAP Finite life: Cost - Impairment
GAAP Indefinite life: Cost - Amortization - Impairment
How do you value an intangible asset (IFRS)? How do you treat Gains & Losses?
IFRS Cost Model: Cost - Amortization - Impairment
IFRS Revaluation Model: FV on revaluation date - subsequent Amort. - subsequent impairment
Gains: reverse loss on IS then go to OCI
Loss: reverse gain on OCI then go to IS
Formulas for Impairment (GAAP)?
Finite Life (2 step):
1) Undiscounted CF - CV
2) FV or PV Discounted CF - CV
Indefinite Life (1 step): 1) FV -CV
What level do you report GW on? Formula for GW (GAAP)? How do you treat GW impairment?
Reporting-unit level
1) (For each reporting unit) FV unit - CV unit
2) (For each reporting units GW only) Implied FV GW - CV GW
Loss on IS that cannot write back up
