Q

Multiple-Step Income Statement

The two-statement approach to displaying comprehensive income will begin with net income, and then will most likely show each component of other comprehensive income on an after-tax basis. So unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale debt securities will be shown net of tax. the two-statement approach only shows net income.

A

Sales
- Cost of goods sold
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Gross Profit
- Operating Expenses* (SG&A, depreciation, amortization, R&D, ETC.)*
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Operating Income* (Performance from the core business, sustainable) *
- Nonoperating (gains) & (losses) *(REGL from the sale of noninventory, write-downs, write-
offs, etc.) *
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Pretax income *(Income from continuing operations before tax) *
- Income tax expense
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Net Income *(Income from continuing operations after tax) *
+/- Discontinued operations (net of tax)
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Net Income

The value comes from being able to see how well a company is doing in terms of its core business. Your bottom-line accounts for income from continuing & discontinued operations.

Q

Common Shareholders’ Equity

Numerator for Book Value Per Share

A

Assets - Liabilities - Preferred equity - Dividends in arrears

Dividends in Arrears - only exisit if the company has cumulative preferred stock, such that if a dividend in a particular year to the preferred stockholders was not paid, it accumualtes. So the dividends in arrears, while it’s not a liability, it reduces the equity available to the common stockholders. We isolate in the numerator common stockholders equity.

Q

Accounts Receivable Turnover

Liquidity Ratios

This ratio indicates the receivables quality and indicates the success of the firm in collecting outstanding receivables. Faster turnover gives credibility to the current and acid-test ratios

A

Sales (Net) / Average Accounts Receivable (net)

Turnover ratios generllay use average balance [i.e., (bneg balance + ending balance) / 2] for balance sheet components. However, on some recent CPA Exam questions, candidates have been instructed to use year-end balances instead. Please be sure to read the questions carefully to determine the appropriate method to use.

The ratios given in this module match th emost recent Ratio’s provided by the AICPA as an exhibit on task-based simulations requiring ratio calculation

Q

Straight-Line Depreciation

Estimated useful life is usually stated in periods of time, such as year or months

A

Cost - Salvage Value / Estimated useful life

51
Q

Sum-of-the-Year’s-Digits Depreciation

Rarely tsted for assets longer than 5 years

A
  1. N x (N + 1) / 2 = Sum-of-the-years digits
  2. Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage value) x Remaining life of asset / Sum-of-the-years’ digits

Where: N = Estimated useful life

Figure out #1 to work out formula #2

52
Q

Units-of-Production Depreciation
(Productive Output)

Converts depreciation from a fixed cost to variable costs

A
  1. Cost - Salvage Value (equals depreciable base)/ Estimated units or houirs = Rate per unit or hour
  2. Rate per unit (or hour) x Number of units produced (or hours worked/usage) = Depreciation Expnese

#2. (converts depreciation from a fixed cost to variable costs

Figure out #1 to work out formula #2

53
Q

Double-Declining-Balance
(DDB)

The only method that ignore salvage value in the annual calculation of depreciation are the declining balance meethods. Salvage value is used as the limitation on total depreciation.

A

2 x 1/2 x (Cost - Accumulated Depreciation)

E.g., If useful life (N) = 150%; DDB = 1.5/N
If useful life (N) = 125%; DDB = 1.25 / N

If useful life (N)

Most common is DDB 125%, 150%, etc.

Q

Impairment Loss

A

Fair Value - Carrying Value

Under U.S. GAAP, impairment analysis begins with a test for recoverability in which the net carrying value of the asset is compared to the undiscounted cash flows expected from the asset. If the net carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, then an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the asset. In this problem, the carrying value of $250,000 is greater than the undiscounted future cash flows of $240,000, so an impairment loss must be recorded.

OWNES

3.3 Lessee Decision Tree

A

O - Ownership of the underlyng asset transfers from the lessor to the lessee by the end of the lease term.
W - The lessee has the written option to purchase the underying aset; the option is on ethat the lessee is “reasonably certain” to exercise.
N - The net present value of all lease payments and any guaranteed residual value equals or exceeds substantially all of the underlying asset’s fair value.
E - The term of the lease represents the major part of the economic life remaining for the underlying asset.
S - The asset is specialized such that it will not have an expected, alternative use to the lessor when the lease term ends.

Financial Lease: AT least one of the OWNES criteria is met.
Operating lease: None of the OWNES creiteria are met.

2.1 Equity Method Accounting

A
  1. Journal Entry to record investment at cost (FV of consideration plus legal fees)

DR Investment in investee XXX

			  CR Cash                     XXX
  1. Journal Entry to rrecord interest in the investment by the investor’s share of the earnings of investee:
    DR Investment in investee XXX
           CR Equity in earnings/investee income XXX
                 (Equity in earnings is reported as income on the
               	income statement)
  2. Journal entry to record decrease int he investment by the invstor’s ahre of the cash dividends from the investee:
          DR Cash  XXX
               CR Investment in investee XXX
67
Q

BASE

F5 M2

A

Begining balance

Add: Investor’s share of investee’s earnings (like bank interest; it is income when earned, not when taken out).

Subtract: Investor’s share of investee’s dividends (like bank withdrawls; and it is not income)

Ending balance.

An easy way to remember the GAAP accounting rules for the equity method is to think of it as a bank account and use your BASE account analysis:

Q

MIC

* Let’s get on the “MIC”

FV Measurement: Valuation Techniques

A

M – Market Approach: uses prices and other relevant information from market transactions (exchanges) involving IDENTICAL or COMPARABLE assets/liabilities

I – Income Approach: Converts future amounts, including cash flows or earnings to a single discounted amount to measure FV
*Can be applied to assets or liabilities
*Discounted CF Approach  PV of Future Cash Flows

C-Cost Approach: Uses current replacement cost to measure the FV of assets

69
Q

Leases: Classification

A

Finance Lease–>Lessee and Sales-Type Lease –> Lessor

E – Economic Life of asset is represented in major part of lease term
* ≥ 75%
S – Specialized Asset

Operating Lease for lessee if meets 0 of those

Direct Financing ->Lessor
Meets none of “OWNES”
Meets Both of “PC”
* P - PV of lease pmts ≥ Assets Fair Value
* ≥ 90%
C – Collection is Probable

Operating lease –> Lessor
None of “OWNES”
0 – 1 of “PC”

o O - Otherwise needed by the organization
o M – Measurable
o E – Easily (at FV)

JE:
DR Expense or asset
CR Contributions - without donor restrictions

73
Q

Contributions without Donor Restrictions

F6-M3

A

Pledges without donor restriction (with impled time restriction and thus initially recognized as donor-restricted):
DR Pledge receivable-with donor restriction
CR Allowance for doubtful accounts
CR Contributions-with donor restriction

Later, when collected, assets with donor restrictions are adjusted:
DR Cash-with donor restriction
CR Pledge receivable-with donor restriction
DR Satisfaction of time restriction-with donor restriction
CR Cash-with donor restriction

Assets without donor restrictions:
DR Cash-without donor restriction
Cr Satisfaction of time restriction-without donor restriction

Collection of the pledge satisfies the time restriction and results in a reclasssification

74
Q

Donor-Restricted Support (Contributions with Donor Restrictions)

F6-M3

A

Increases to net assets with donor restrictions:
DR Pledge receivable-with donor restrictions
CR Allowance for doubtful accounts
CR Donor-restricted support

Later, after receivable is collected and when money is spent on restricted purpose, net assets with donor restrictions will be reduced:
DR Reclassification-satisfaction of donor restriction
CR Cash-with donor restrictions

Net assets without donor restrictions are simultaneously increased and decreased:
DR Cash-without donor restrictions
CR Reclassification-satisfaction of donor restriction
DR Operating expnese
CR Cash-without donor restrictions
