For IFRS SMEs, what accounting method can be used with significant influence?
Cost or Equity Method
All notes receivable are recorded how?
PV of future cash flows (> 1 yr); PV - any discounts will be amortized.
What are current & noncurrent notes receivable recorded at?
Current - Face value
Noncurrent - PV
Impaired note receivable are written down to?
PV of future cash flows expected to be collected using original interest rate; Loss or expense is recorded as difference b/t PV of CFs and original carry value.
- Interest method is collected…
2. Cost recovery method is collected…
- Each year
2. In total, but only when new carry value (PV of CFs) is received.
Inventory Costs includes what?
Freight-in, insurance, taxes paid, material handling/packaging costs, transport to consignees.
Inventory Costs does not include what?
Interest, advertising, freight-out, advance commissions.
What costs reduce inventory?
Purchase discounts & returns/allowances
Periodic Inventory (WA)
COGAS/# units available, multiply by either COGS or End Inventory, whichever you are calculating.
Periodic Inventory (Purchases) (FIFO)
HIGHEST Net Income
COGS - lowest (earliest) costs
End Inv - highest (latest) costs
Periodic Inventory (Purchases) (LIFO)
LOWEST Net Income
COGS - highest (latest) costs
End Inv - lowest (earliest) costs
FIFO favors…
Balance sheet; approximation of CURRENT costs
LIFO favors…
Income statement; approximation of NONCURRENT costs, but COGS CURRENT
LIFO is bad and good why?
Minimizes profits & chosen to minimize income tax
Dollar Value LIFO advantages are…
- reduces effect of liquidation problem
- allows to use FIFO internally
- reduces clerical costs
Dollar Value LIFO (Conversion Index)
End Inv in CY dollars/End Inv in Base Yr dollars
Cost-to-Retail Ratio
COGAS cost/COGAS Retail
Retail Inventory Method (Calculate End Inv @ cost)
End Inv @ retail X C/R ratio
End Inv Overstated equals…
COGS Understated (OPPOSITE)
Beg Inv Overstated equals…
COGS & Purchases Overstated (SAME)
IFRS vs. GAAP Inventory
IRFS
- LC or NRV vs. LCM
- Same cost formulas vs. may be different formulas
- Reversal of write-down permitted vs prohibited
- LIFO prohibited vs. permitted
- Cost flow assumption mirrors physical flow vs. does not
AAE
Accumulated Average Expenditures
Capitalized interest (2 methods)
- Weighted Average (total interest/total principal)xAAE
Subtract cap. interest from total interest = int. exp - Specific (capitalize interest on construction loans first,
then other, if necessary.
Subtract cap. interest from total interest = int. exp
AAE
Int. exp is difference b/t total int. cost and int. capitalized
AAE > debt
All interest is capitalized
Post-acquisition expenditures depreciate over…
the SHORTER of its useful life or remaining life of larger asset.
SL Method of Depreciation
Cost - salvage value / useful life
Sum of Years Digit Method
(N(N+1))/2
Double-Declining Method (SV not used)
Cost(2/N) ; i.e. Yr 2 = (Cost-depr yr1)(2/N), etc.
Natural Resources contains…
Cost of acquiring, exploring, etc. ; does NOT include cost of extracting of resource
Natural Resource (sum capitalized)
Acquisition, Exploration, and Development costs
Depletion is…

Depletion for a period calculation is…
(Depletion rate)x(# units removed in period)
Extraction costs and Production costs
Debited to inventory, NOT natural resource
PPE IFRS
- Est. useful life/depr. method reviewed annually
- Revaluation PERMITTED (ENTIRE class)
- Interest earned CAN BE offset by interest costs
No Significant Influence (
