Q

How to consolidate the following balance sheet items under full goodwill, partial goodwill and equity method? When Company A purchase x% of Company B.

Asset
Goodwill
Liability
Equity
Minority interest

A

Company A purchase x% of Company B.

Full goodwill:
Asset = A asset + B asset - cost to purchase B at x%
Goodwill = Fair value of B - fair value net asset of B
PPE = A + B PPE
Liability = A liability + B liability
Minority interest = ( 1 - interest %) * cost
Common stock and retained earnings = Company A only

Partial goodwill:
Asset = A asset + B asset - cost to purchase company B at x%

Goodwill = cost - (fair value net asset of B * interest x%)
PPE = A + B PPE
Liability = Company A liability + Company B liability
Minority interest = ( 1 - interest %) * fair value net asset of B
Common stock and retained earnings = Company A only

Equity method:
Asset = A asset - cost to purchase company B at x% + cost to purchase company B at x%
Goodwill = None
PPE = A PPE
Liability = A liability
Minority interest = None

Q

What is goodwill impairment under IFR/S and US GAAP?

A

IFRS
- if carry book value > recoverable amount,
then
impairment loss = Carry value - recoverable amount

US GAPP

Recoverability test - Impairment must be recognized when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value or undiscounted cashflow on use and disposal.

Loss measurement - The excess of the carry amount over the fair value

Impairment loss = Book value - PV of future cashflow

  • Test that carry value > recoverable amount
  • if yes, apply account treatment:
    impairment loss = actual goodwill - justify goodwill
    where
    justify goodwill = recoverable amount - net asset

47
Q

Calculate the impact on periodic pension cost under IFRS and US GAAP on change in plan assets over the year for

Actual return on assets
Employer contributions
Benefits paid

A

Change in plan assets =
+ Actual return
+ contribution
- Benefit paid

Under IFRS

Net actual return on assets = OCI as part of remeasurements
= Actual return - opening plan assets * interest rate

Under US GAAP

Expected return on assets = P&L
= Expected return on assets * opening plan assets
Differences between actual and expected returns are treated the same as actuarial gains and losses. Usually recognised in OCI and then amortised to P&L using the corridor method.

Employer contributions
Benefits paid

48
Q

What is corridor test method?

A

Corridor test method compare the difference between actual vs expected return

If the loss if bigger than 10% of total assets then

P&L = Actuarial gains / loss - (assets * 10%) / services in years

Q

Change in PV of defined benefit obligation (PVDBO) impact on account under IFRS and US GAAP.

Current service costs
Past service costs
Interest cost
Actuarial gains and losses
Actual return on assets
Benefit paid
Employer contributions

A

Under US GAAP
Current service costs - P&L (Income statement)
Past service costs - OCI then amortised to P&L over the average service life
Interest cost - P&L = open gross pension liability * interest rate
Actuarial gains and losses - OCI then amortised using the corridor method.
Actual return on assets - P&L = Expected return on assets = Expected return on plan assets * openning plan assets
Difference between actual and expected plan assets OCI then amortised using the corridor method.

Under IFRS
Current service costs - P&L (Income statement)
Past service costs - P&L
Interest cost - P&L = Opening net pension asset or liability * interest rate
Actuarial gains and losses - OCI (remeasurements)
Net return on plan assets - OCI (remeasurements) = Actual return - opening plan assets * interest rate

Both
Benefit paid - None
Employer contributions - None

Q

Change in PV of defined benefit obligation (PVDBO) impact on account under IFRS and US GAAP.

Current service costs
Past service costs
Interest cost

A

Under US GAAP
Current service costs - P&L

Net return on plan assets - OCI (remeasurements) = Actual return - opening plan assets * interest rate

Both
Benefit paid - None
Employer contributions - None

Capital Adequacy - A capital adequacy ratio is a measurement of a bank’s available capital as a percentage of bank’s risk weighted credit exposures.
= (Tier 1 + Tier 2 Capital) / Risk weighted assets

Asset quality - How much credit risk does a bank’s assets have.

Management - Bank’s compliance to policies and procedures, risk management, and steategic plan.
The ratio of non-interest expenditures to total assets.

Earnings - Assess bank’s growth, stability, valuation allowances, net interest margin, and quaility of assets.

Liquidity - How easy Bank can convert it’s asset to cash
Liquity Coverage ratio = Highly liquid assets / 1 month liquidity needs
Net stable fudning ratio = available stable funding / required stable funding
Target above 100%

Sensitivity to Market Risk
Risk management on how change in interest rate, FX rate, commodity price or equity price can affect Bank’s earnings.

54
Q

A

ROE = Net income / Equity
= Net income / Sales * Sales / Asset * Asset / Equity
= Net profit margin * Total asset turnover * Leverage

= Net Income / EBT * EBT / EBIT * EBIT / Revenue * Revenue / Assets * Equity
= Tax burden * Interest burden * EBIT margin * Asset turnover * Leverage

55
Q

Define the accruals ratio using balance sheet approach.

A

Accruals is the change in net operating assets assets over the period.

Balance sheet accruals ratio for time t

= NOA(t) - NOA(t - 1) / [(NOA(t) + NOA(t-1)) / 2]

where NOA
Net operating assets = operating assets - operating liabilities

where
Operating assets = Total assets - Cash - short term investment
Operating liabilities = Total liability - Short and long term debt

56
Q

Define the accruals ratio using cashflow (CFO) approach.

A

accruals ratio = (Net Income - CFO - CFI) / Average NOA

Average Net operating assets (NOA) = (NOA(t) + NOA(t+1))/2

57
Q

Formula for Cash conversion cycle (net operating cycle).

A

Net operating cycle = No of days inventory + No of day receivables - No of days payable

No of days payable = Number of days in period / Payables turnover ratio

A

FCFF = CFO + Interest (1 -tax) - Investment in Working Capital

Q

Calculate free cashflow to firm (FCFF) using Net income.

A

FCFF = Net Income + Non-cash charge + Interest expense ( 1 - tax) - Fixed capital investment - Working capital investments

63
Q

Calculate free cashflow to equity (FCFE).

A

FCFE = Net Income+Non-Cash Charges−Fixed Capital Investments−Working Capital Investments+Net Borrowing

64
Q

What is the difference between accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and projected benefit obligation (PBO)?

A

Accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) is the approximate amount of a company’s pension plan liability at a single point in time. ABO is estimated based on the assumption that the pension plan is to be terminated immediately; it does not consider any future salary increases. This differs from the projected benefit obligation (PBO), which assumes that the pension plan is ongoing, and thus accounts for future salary increases.
