Q

What should I do when I get a question with PV factor and PV of an ordinary annuity factor?

A
  1. Calculate Total PV.
    Total PV = (Principal * PV Factor) + (Interest to be recovered * PV of an ordinary annuity factor)
  2. Caculate credit loss.
    Credit Loss = PV - Amortized Cost.

27
Q

What is goodwill under the equity method?

A

Purchase price - Share of total FV

28
Q

What is asset FV difference under the equity method?

A

Share of total FV - Share of total NBV
This difference is amortized over the life of the asset, and decreases the invesment value, and the share of income as well.

29
Q

What is the JE to record asset FV difference under the equity method

A

Income from investment
Investment Value

Income is debited to show the amortization expense, and investment is credited as the amortization decreases the value of the investment.

30
Q

When would a parent company not produce consolidated FS?

A

When the sub is in legal reorg or in bankruptcy.

31
Q

What is a VIE?

A

An entity that doesn’t have investors with voting rights or can’t support their activities. (
Ex. Chart LATAM! We pay everything under the cost sharing agreement…!

32
Q

Who is the primary beneficiary of a VIE?

A

The one who consolidates the VIE into their FS. It also has power to direct activities, absobs their losses, and receives the expected residual returns.

33
Q

What is the key to recognize a Variable Interest?

A
  1. Explicit investments at rist.
  2. Explicit guarantees of debt, values of assets, or residual valujes of leased assets.
  3. Implicit guarantees with RP involvement.
  4. Most liabilities, except ST trade payables.
  5. Most forward contracts to sell VIE assets.
  6. Options to acquire leased assets at the end of lease terms at specified prices.
34
Q

How do I know if the business entity is a VIE and has insufficient level of equity investment at risk?

A

There is insufficient level of Equity Investment at Risk (I must support the entity financially).

35
Q

How do I know if the business entity is NOT A VIE and DOES NOT HAVE insufficient level of equity investment at risk?

A
  1. The entity can support itself (I don’t have to give them $ for them to operate)
  2. The entity’s equity investment at risk = the equity investment at rist of other non-VIEs.
  3. FV of equity investment at risk > Expected losses.
36
Q

What is the value of your investment on the acquisition method?

A

FV = Acquisition price = Investment subsidiary.

37
Q

What are the consolidation adjustments needed, for external reporting, under the acquisition method?

A
  1. Common stock, APIC, and RE of sub are removed. (CAR)
  2. Investment in sub is eliminated. (I)
  3. NCI is created - FV of portion of sub not owned. (N)
  4. BS of sub is adjusted to FV (B)
  5. All intangibles but goodwill are (I) recorded @ FV.
  6. Goodwill required = Acquisition Cost + NCI - FV of sub’s net assets. (G)
38
Q

What is asset fair value difference under the acquisition method?

A

Asset FV Diff = FV of sub’s net assets - NBV of Sub’s net assets.

39
Q

What is the FV of sub’s net assets?

A

FV of Assets - FV of Liabilities

40
Q

What happens when the acquisition price > FV of net assets acquired?

A

Acquiring company should present assets and liabilities @ FV.

41
Q

What items are expensed as incurred in an acquisition?

b. Legal fees.

42
Q

43
Q

What is the formula for APIC?

A

APIC = # of shares * (Market value per share - Par value per share) - Registration fees if any.

44
Q

What is goodwill under the acquisition method?

A

Goodwill = FV of Acquisition - FV net assets

*If negative, then amount is gain!

45
Q

A

NCI = FV of Acquisition * (100% - Acquired %)

46
Q

What happens when the question tells me that the company acquired X% and not 100%?

A

The FV of Acquisition needs to be adjusted.

Acquisition cost / X%

47
Q

What happens when a company initially acquires X% and it is a NCI, but then later acquires Y% and it makes it a controlling interest?

A 
There will be a gain. 
New FV (@ date of new acquision)
(*) Original % (X%)
(-) FV of original investment 
(=) Gain
FV of original investment needs to be calculated under the equity method: 
Acq Cost 
(+) Share of net income 
(-) Share of dividends 
(=) FV of original investment
48
Q

A

IC profit to be eliminated from ending inventory = A * C

B. Use Inventory formula on Parent
C. With B, Calculate what % of purchases belongs to Ending Inventory.

49
Q

A

IC profit to be eliminated from ending inventory = A * C

A. Calculate GP of seller (or entity that sells 100% to parent/sub)

51
Q

What is Gain on extinguishment of debt?

A

NBV of Bond
(-) Acquisition Cost of Bond
(=) Gain on Extinguishment of Debt

When Sub buys buys debt of Parent from a 3rd party, parent has to eliminate bond from its FS.

A

3 steps!

  1. Calculate Parent’s Depr Exp
  2. Calculate Sub’s Depr Exp (with new cost)
  3. Parent’s Depr Exp - Sub Depr Exp; if negative, result would decrease Sub’s depr exp as an IC Elim.
54
