Defined Benefit Plan Accounting:
U.S. GAAP

A

Income statement:
• Service Cost - PV increases in Benefits earned by employees in the hear
• Interest Expense- Interest accrued in beginning plan obligation using discount rate.
• Expected return on asset- Return plan adset would have generated using expected rate of return.

Other Compensation Income
- Actuarial G/L (amortized into I.S.) :
• an obligation (as for IFRS)

Q

Define benefit plan accounting (IFRS)

A

Income statement:
- The service cost- PV increase in benefits, earned by employee in the year.
- Past services cost, resulting from changes in plan rules.

Net interest, expense income: changes in present value of the net pension assets/ liability due to the passage.

OCI:
Remeasurement: 1) Actuarial G/L from changes in assumptions (predictions)
2) difference between the actual return on asset and the return included in the interest. (P&L)

Cash Tax Rate formula

A

1) Reported Incomr Tax Exp/ Pre-tax income

2) Tax paid in cash in period/ pre-tax income

  • useful for forecasting NI
20
Q

Tax Base concept

A

Carrying value and tax base are likely to be different due to temporary differences and permanent differences.
• do not reverse
• do not give rise to deferred tax

[ company tax rate does not equal statutory tax rate]

21
Q

Deductible temporary difference
Deferred (future) Tax Asset| Liabilities

A

DTA:
Carrying Value Asset< Tax Base
Carrying Value Asset > Tax Base

DTA could arise when taxable income exceedss accounting profit

22
Q

Measurements of Financial Assets

A

• Fair Value (P&L): RGL- I.S; UG/L- I.s

• Fair Value (OCI): RGL- I.S; UG/L- OCI

• Amortized Cost: RGL- I.S; UG/L- Not Realized

23
Q

Net Identifiable Asset Acquired
formula

A

= F Value of Asset- F Value of Liabilities and contingent liabilities

24
Q

Classification of Interest, Dividends, and taxes under IFRS and GAAP

A

IFRS
Interect Rec- CFO/CFI
int payable- CFO/CFF
Div Rec- CFO/CFI
Div Paid- CFO/CFF
Bank overdraft- Part of cash
Tax Paid: CFO/CFF/CFI

US GAAP
Interect Rec- CFO
int payable- CFO
Div Rec- CFO
Div Paid- CFF
Bank overdraft- CFF
Tax Paid: CFO

25
Fixed Asset Turnover formula G or Loss on Sale
1) net sales/avg net PLT 2) Sale proceeds-(Acquisition Cost -Accumulated Depreciation) Accumulated Depreciation= [(Acq cost-Residual value)/ useful life] x used years
26
Use LIFO or FIFO?
- In a declining price environment, the newest inventory is the lowest- cost inventory. - In such circumstances, using the LIFO method will result in lower cost of sales and higher profit. - In the rising market, the inventory balances will be higher for the company using the FIFOA method .
27
Goodwill formulations
- checked annually for impairments - not amortizated - in a business combination, the excess of the purch price over and above the F VALUE of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired.
28
Fixed Asset Turnover formula
Total Revenue/ Avg Net Fixed Assets
29
Definite-life intangibles
Identifiable because they incur amortization. Cost (opening amounts) accumulated amortization/ carrying value Total carrying value= C Value Group1+ Group2
30
Impairment Test under IFRS
If CV is > then Recoverable amount => Impaired Value -recoverable amount is whatever the largera of FV-Cost or value of Future CD discounted.
31
Impairment Test Under GAAP
1) If undiscounted CF< CV => Impairment 2) CV- Fair Value= impairment
32
Reversal of Impairments (L-T assets)
IFRS: • Reverse: Record a credit in income stat • increase asset carrying value (B|S)- previous amount • can only reverse up to previous carrying amount • held for use or helf for sale losses csn be reversed. US GAAP • impairments are permanent • cannot reverse • only held for sale
33
Intangible Assets IFRS definition and recognition criteria
1) Identifiable (separate from company, Goodwill) 2) Under the control of the company 3) Expected to generate future, economic benefits -Probable that the expected, future economic benefit benefits, will flow to the company - Cost of asset can be realiably measured
34
IFRS vs US GAAP write- down
Under the IFRS, the reversal of write downs is required if net realizable value increases. The inventory will be reported on the BS. Inventory is reported at the lower cost or net reliable value. USGAAP does not permit the reversal of write- downs.
35
Measurement of inventory US GAAP
LIFO not allowed No reversal permitted Inventory is measured as lower of cost or market value. ( subject to ceiling of an NRV and a floor NRV less a normal profit margin) MV is defined as current replacement cost
36
IFRS Inventory valuation
Inventory is measured at the lower of cost on NRV. If the cost exceeds NRV, the inventory is written down to NRV and the difference increases COGS. Subsequent increases in NRV recognized and reduced cost of sales in the income statement (reversal). Value inventory at lower of cost and net real reasonable value.
37
The indirect method
Instead of disclosing cash flows by type, CFO is calculated by adjusting 1) net income for non-cash items and 2) changes in operating working Items (accruals)z
38
Adjusting LIFO to FIFO
LIFO + Lifo Reserve= FIFO Lifo: COGS increase- Profit decrease- Recent Expenses Inventory deceease- Old-cheap During periods of rising inventory unit costs, a company using FIFO method rather than LIFO, will have a lower inventory turnover. FIFO- COGS old Cheap(decrease) Deficit (Increase)
39
LT Assrts and Inventories
During writing prices, FIFO companies will have the cost of sales representing units purchased at (no longer available) lower price, lower, gross profit, lower inventory, higher cost of sales. Inventory balances during price rising will be higher for the company using this method. For LIFO companies, it’s cost of sales is approximately equal to the current replacement cost of inventory.
40
Inventory Turnover formula
COGS/ Avg Inventory
41
How are dividends classified under IFRS?
Under IFRS dividends received can be classified as either an operating or investing activity, but not as a financing activity.
42
When should an existing deferred tax assets should be reversed?
If a deferred tax asset or liability resulted in the past, but the criteria of economic benefits is not mad on the current balance sheet date, under IFRS, un existing differ tax, asset or liability related to the item will be reversed. Under US GAAP, a valuation allowance is established.
43
Recoverable amount of an asset Definition
The higher of its fair value - cost to sell and its value in use. Value in use is a discounted measure of expected future cash flows. Recov amount= MAX(FV -Cost, Value in Use): MAX[(1700-50);1500]=1650 => Impairment loss= carrying amount-recoverable amount= 2000-1650=350
44
The carrying amount of an asset vs it’s tax base
The carrying amount of an acid being higher than its tax base is considered to be a temporary difference that results in a deferred tax liability. Deferred tax liabilities, which also appear on the balance sheet, arise when the deficit amount is paid for income taxes and the company expects to eliminate the deficit over the course of future operations.
45
Total Debt ratio
Total debt/ total asset
46
Gain or Loss on the sale of a long-lived asset
Sales-carrying amount of the asset. CF from sale= sale proceeds=(purchase price - accumulated depreciation) + gain on sale
