When is revenue recognized in the Percentage of Completion method?

Income previously recognized would be used to find income recognized in the second year.

% completion formula: Total cost to date/ Total estimated costs of contract

Estimated losses are recognized immediately in the year it is discovered

Using the Percentage of Completion method, how do you recognize gross profit for a year?

Start with the contract price and subtract the cumulative actual costs + the estimated remaining costs (so all the costs). This gets you to the Estimated Gross Profit.

You then use the % completion formula.. which is: Total actual costs/total estimated+actual costs…

Multiply the estimated gross profit by the completion % to get the current year gross profit to be recognized.

If there is income previously recognized, then subtract it from the current year Gross Profit.

“Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (AOCI)

Reported in the shareholders equity section of the Balance sheet (statement of Financial position)

The “Other Comprehensive Income” items are accumulated there until the gain is realized (like until the AFS security is actually sold)

Reclassification adjustments must be shown so you don’t double count comprehensive income items

Subsequent Events

Events that occur after the Balance sheet date but before F/S are issued

TWO TYPES:
1. Recognized events: items that did exist at the B/S date but are somehow discovered after the B/S date so these require recognition in the Financial Statements

Unrecognized events: Items that did not exist at the B/S date but they do require disclosure in the Footnotes-material items

Fair Value Measurement when there is NO Principal Market

The price is the most advantageous market is the Fair Value Measurement.

The most advantageous market is the market with the best price (higher price) after subtracting the transaction costs.
ex. Market A= 1,000-75=925
Market B=1,050-150=900
soon 925 is a more advantageous market price so 1,000 is the Fair Value of the Financial Asset.

Fair Value of an Asset

The price the would be received if you sell an asset in an active market

Fair Value is a market specific measure. The FV of an asset or liability is specific to the market making the FV measurement

FV includes transportation costs but not transaction costs

Levels of the Fair Value Heirarchy (3 levels)

Level 1: Quoted Market Prices in an active market for IDENTICAL items. HIGHEST quality/MOST RELIABLE
ex. shares of stock publicly traded on exchanges

Level 2: OBSERVABLE inputs that don’t meet all requirements for Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for SIMILAR items. Quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Level 3: UNOBSERVABLE inputs for the item being valued.
LOWEST level with the least desirable inputs.
Usually based on the reporting firms INTERNAL DATA.
-Projected cash flows
-Discounted cash flow of firm
-Historical performance + return of investment

Segment Reporting

-When a public company is reporting revenues from its reporting segments….
Unaffiliated customers sales and intracompany sales MUST be disclosed SEPARATELY.

-Only publicly traded enterprises are required to report on business segments.

If a segment has at least 10% of the total of…
-COMBINED revenues
-operating profits
OR assets of the company
….then they are REPORTABLE segments
A customer is considered to be a major customer if sales to the customer are at LEAST 10% of total revenue, not 10% of combined assets.
Sales to other segments will always be used in determining a segment’s operating income
BOTH profit/ losses and total assets for each reportable operating segment should be disclosed under U.S. GAAP.

10K
10Q
8K

10K is the annual filing that must be audited by an independent auditor

3 Filer Types :
1. Large Accelerated Filer: is a company with $700 million or more. Needs to file a 10k within 60 days, a 10Q within 40 days.

Accelerated Filer: A
company with market value between $75-700 million needs to file 10k within 75 days, 10Q within 40 days.
NonAccelerated Filer: Less than $75 million. 10k needs to be filed within 90 days, a 10Q within 45 days.

10Q: Quarterly filing of results of operation and financial condition and is NOT audited, but reviewed by auditor. The end of the preceding fiscal year balance sheet is required on the 10Q.

8K: For significant events that happen in between 10K and 10Q’s. Like bankruptcy, departure of a CEO, change in accountants.

The MD&A (Managements Discussion and Analysis) is NOT required to be presented in an exhibit prepared using XBRL

The SEC requires a U.S. public company submitting a 10K to present F/S, balance sheets, income statements, statement of comprehensive income, and all footnotes.

Form 20-F, 11-K, 40-F and 10K all include a set of Financial statements.

Forms 6-K and 10Q do not include audited F/S

Special purpose frameworks

When preparing statements based on an “Other Comprehensive Income Basis of Accounting” (OCBOA), the statement of cash flows is usually not prepared.

The important thing is that the statements are descriptive about what basis of accounting has been used.

Under CASH BASIS of accounting, revenue/cash is not recorded until received, and expenses are recorded when cash is paid, so increases in Accounts Recievable are subtracted for cash basis, and decrease in Accounts Payable are subtracted for cash basis.

The decrease in prepaid interest is ADDED when calculating accrual basis interest expense because a…….. DECREASE in PREPAID INTEREST INCREASES INTEREST EXPENSE.

A decrease in interest payable is SUBTRACTED when calculating accrual basis interest expense because…………a DECREASE IN INTEREST PAYABLE IMPLIES that cash interest payments exceeded accrual basis expense.

Decrease in Interest Payable DECREASES_________

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest Expense is reported on a cash basis in the Statement of Cash Flows, and on an accrual basis in the income statement. Sooooooo… when finding the interest expense for an income statement…

you have to convert the cash basis to accrual basis …

start with cash basis interest expense
+ Decrease in Prepaid interest
-Decrease in Interest Payable
=Accrual basis Interest Expense

OCBOA financial statements CANNOT use Accrual Basis titles. What is an example of a title that would not be appropriate?

Statement of Financial Position is an accrual basis title so OCBOA would not be appropriate. ONLY CASH BASIS titles

Modified Cash Basis

Cash Basis with a few elements of Accrual basis.

Recording Long-Term Liabilities, accrual of income taxes, and capitalization of inventory are all common modifications made to for modified cash basis F/S

The Cash basis of accounting understates income by the net decrease in…..

Accrued Expenses

Decrease in Accounts Recieveable

Represents cash paid in in the current period on Accounts Receivable from prior periods. Under Cash Basis, the decrease in accounts receivable would be recorded as current period income, but under the accrual basis, the revenue would have been recorded in prior periods.

Increase in Accounts Payable

Represents expenses incurred but not yet paid.. Under the cash basis, no expense would be recorded for the increase in accounts payable because cash has not yet been paid. Under the accrual basis, expenses totaling the increase accounts payable are recorded when the payables are recorded.

Accrual Basis
ADD: Decrease in accounts payable
SUBTRACT: Decrease in accounts receiveable

Prepaid expenses

Represent assets where no benefit has been received yet. In accrual Accounting, they are not officially expenses until there is an associated benefit so you would subtract these from cash basis to get to accrual basis.

Accrued liabilities

Represents benefit received but no cash paid out yet. You would add accrued liabilities under accrual basis.

Accrual base revenue

Will count all sales applicable to that year regardless of when they are collected

Accrual Basis

for Net Income

ADD: Decrease in accounts payable

SUBTRACT: Decrease in accounts receivable
ADD: Increase in accounts receivable

SUBTRACT: Decrease in prepaid expenses
SUBTRACT: Increase in prepaid expenses

SUBTRACT: Decrease in Accrued liabilities

ADD: Decrease in Unearned fees

Net Profit Margin Ratio

Net Income/
Net Sales

*If Inventory is sold at cost, then net income does not change but net sales increases. Therefore, the numerator does not change but the denominator increases, cause the net margin profit ratio to decrease.

A sale of inventory does not affect net income, but a sale of inventory does affect net sales

Partnerships

Assets contributed by partners to a partnership are valued at FMV of the assets, net of any related liabilities.
ex. FMV of the property contributed less the mortgage payable associated with the property

-A partners capital account balance is the FMV of the equipment/property donated
The partners capital account would be credited for the FMV of property at date of contribution.

Under the BONUS method, a partners capital account balance is….
the existing capital balances of the existing partners
+the FMV of the partners investment donated=
the NEW PARTNERSHIPS
capital balances
x the new partners capital interest %
=The new partners capital balance
*The bonus method increases or decreases the individual partners accounts without changing the total net assets of the partnership.
*Under the bonus method, any premium paid to the retiring partner is allocated to the remaining partners accounts.
*The goodwill method increases the individual partners accounts and also changes the total net assets of the partnership.

To find the GOODWILL to the original partners..
the new partners investment/ their ownership %
=New partners Total capital..
the difference between that and the total assets of partnership is the goodwill

-Partners contributions to the partnership are valued at the FMV at the date of contribution of the non cash property contributed.

-Partners old profit and loss ratios should be used to allocate excess of a admittance of new partner.
Capital ratios are ineffective
to reflect the operating effectiveness of the old partners.

Revenue Recognition

Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies the performance obligation, or when the goods or services have been provided to the customer
-OR there is a reasonable assurance that the receivables will be collected

Recognizing Revenue Over time- INPUT AND OUTPUT METHOD

Input Method: very similar to the percentage of completion method. Recognizes revenue based on satisfying the performance obligation relative to the total performance obligation to be performed- ex. recognizing revenue on a construction project as costs are incurred relative to the total estimated cost to finish the project

Output Method: Output method recognizes revenue based on the value transferred to the customer relative to the total value to be transferred. These are things such as units produced or delivered

Compensation and Benefits

Compensated Absences-this is the account that accrues the expense for paid days off for employees

ex. ABC gives their 10 employees 10 paid vacation days each year. Each employee makes an average of $100 per day. ABC estimates that 80% of the days will be used this year, and the remaining 20% the following year:

Vacation Expense $10,000
Vacation Days Payable-current $8,000
Vacation Days Payable-noncurrent $2,000

Defined Benefit Plan

With a defined benefit plan, the annual retirement benefit is defined. The big thing with these is the annual pension expense and the ending liability
