How is an ARO accounted for in periods of initial measurement

A

ARO liability is adjusted (increased) for accretion expense and then the ACO asset is depreciated (decreases)..these amounts are added together

Q

When do you actually record a contingent liability? how do you record/disclose if it is probable, reasonably likely, and remote

A

when the loss is both probable AND reasonably estimated (minimum in-range amount) you record and disclose it

you just disclose it when it is only reasonably possible

and when its remote you dont disclose it (unless its a guarantee)

Q

What is the interest (effective rate) method of amortizing Bond premiums and discounts Method (US GAAP / IFRS) as well as finding the interest expense

A

Premium(discount) amortized = (carrying value x effective rate) - ( Face value x stated rate)

Interest expense = carrying value x effective rate

Q

HOW DO YOU FIND THE BOND PRICE

A

1: take the face amount and multiply it by the coupon (stated) rate and divide by number of periods (if applicable) this gives us one of our interest payments
2: take the face amount of the bond and mulitply it by the PV factor of $1 for the MARKET interest rate (notice the periods and rate are changed if paid more than annual)
3: take the interest payment and multiply it by te PV market rate of an annuity (notice periods and such)
ADD THE ANSWERS TOGETHER AND YOU GET BOND PRICE

Q

How do you amortize unrecognized gains and losses to net periodic pension cost under GAAP (corridor approach) THIS IS THE G OF SIR AGE

any loss goes against any previously recorded APIC, then any excess comes out of RE
its reported as a deduction from total Stockholders Equity.

38
Q

What type of lease classifications are applicable to lessees

A

lessees will treat the lease as either an operating or finance lease

39
Q

What type of lease classifications are applicable to lessors

A

Lessors will treat a lease as either operating, sales-type, or direct financing lease.

40
Q

What is the criteria for determining whether a lease is Finance Lease for the Lessee and a sales-type lease for the lessor

A

if one of the following is met: OWNES
Ownership transfer at end of lease term
Written option to purchase the option
Net present value of all lease ayments is equal to or substancially exceeds assets FV (90%)
Economic life remaining on asset is made up by a major part of the lease term (75%)
Specialized asset which indicates it will not have an alternate use after the lease ends

41
Q

What happens if none of OWNES is met? how would the lessee classify it

A

It’s an operating lease for the lessee

42
Q

What happens if none of OWNES is met? Before calling it an operating lease the LESSOR would have to do this other test…

A

if none of OWNES is met, We go to the PC rule.

Where both the Present value of the sum of payments and guaranteed residual payments is = to or exceeds the assets Fair Value AND the Collection of lease payments is probable…THEN it’s considered a Direct Financing Lease

BUT IF only one/none of those is prevalent then its an operating lease

43
Q

What is the date when the lease begins

A

the commencement date

44
Q

What components will be included and excluded from lease payments

REPORT N GO

A 
Lessee lease payments include: REPORT
Required  contractual fixed payment
Exercise option
Purchase price at end of lease
Only indexed or rate variable payments
Residual guarantees likely to be owned
Termination penalites

Lessee lease may or may not include (at lessee option): N
Nonlease components

Lessee lease payments specifically exclude: GO
Guarantess of lessor debt by lessee
Other variable lease payments

45
Q

What rate is used to calculate the present value of minimum lease payments, if this first rate isnt known, what other rate do you use?

A

the implicit rate, if it is not known, use the incremental borrowing rate

46
Q

Can you list a couple initial Direct Costs that are included or excluded in the valuation of a Right-Of-Use Asset

A

Any direct costs that are incurred as a result of the execution of the lease is INCLUDED

Any direct costs incurred prior to signing the lease are EXCLUDED

47
Q

Go ahead and list the initial and subsequent journal entries recorded by the LESSEE when the lease qualifies as an operating lease

A

Initial:
DR: ROU Asset
CR: Lease Liability

Subsequent:
DR: Lease Expense
CR: Cash/Lease Liability

DR: Lease Liability
CR: Accumulated Amortization - ROU asset

48
Q

Go ahead and list the initial and subsequent journal entries recorded by the LESSEE when the lease qualifies as an Finance lease

A

Initial:
DR: ROU Asset
CR: Lease Liability

Subsequent:
DR: Interest Expense
DR: Lease Liability
CR: Cash/Lease Payable

DR: Amortization Expense
CR: Accumulated Amortization - ROU asset

49
Q

Can you identify a few ways in which the sales-type leases are different from direct finance leases

A

in a sales-type lease, the lessee gains control of the asset and the lessor will remove the asset from its books and recognize a profit or loss.

Whereas, in a direct finance lease, the lessee does not gain control of the asset. The lessor will remove it from the books but will instead recognize a net investment in the lease

50
Q

Go ahead and list the initial and subsequent journal entries recorded by the LESSOR when the lease qualifies as an OPERATING lease

A

DR: Cash
CR: Rental Income

DR: Depreciation Expense
CR: Acc. Depr.

51
Q

When is the translation method used? When is the remeasurement method used?

A

Translation method is used to restate the FS denominated in the functional currency to the reporting currency.

Remeasurement method is used when ‘dysfunctional’ currency is used by the sub.

52
Q

A

Assets and Liabilities: Current Exchange Rate
Common Stock and APIC: Historical rate
Revenue and expenses: Weighted Average exchange rate

53
Q

A

its the difference between the ITE (Financial Statements) and the ITP (Taxable amount) using the enacted rate.

Or you can multiply the enacted rate by the amount of temporary differences.

A

DR: Lease Receivable
DR: Residual Asset (PV at implicit rate)
CR: Fixed Asset

59
Q

When thinking about how much the Payment amount, interest and amortization amount is for a lease..what equation can you use to find the carrying amount of the ROUA at a point in time

A

You have the total lease liability (carrying value of ROUA)
do the Payment (lease expense) - Interest (implicit rate x lease liability) = Amortization

The amortization is how much the ROUA is decreased

60
Q

What is the total tax expense equation (ITE)

A

Q

What is the total tax expense equation (ITP)

A

Tax return amount x current tax rate

Future Tax Accounting Income GREATER THAN Future Financial Accounting Income

63
Q

What has to be greater than what to give rise to a DTA

A

Future Tax Accounting Income is LESS THAN Future Financial Accounting Income

64
Q

What account do you use if it is more likely than not (>50%) that part of or all of the DTA will not be realized? is this method allowed under IFRS

A

The Valuation Allowance Account is used (contra account)

NOT ALLOWED UNDER IFRS

65
Q

What is the initial entry for a deferred tax asset

A

DR: DTA
DR: ITE-Current
CR: Income tax Payable
CR: Income tax benefit-deferred

A

DR: ITE-Current
DR: ITE-Deferred
CR: Income Taxes Currently Payable
CR: DTL

67
Q

What is the easy equation to find the income tax expense-current portion (ITE)

A

Q

So when making an amortization table think from left to right it goes how?

A

Lease Liability, Total Lease Expense, Interest Expense, Amortization Expense and Carrying Amount of Asset.

69
Q

How do you find the Return on plan assets (R OF SIR AGE)

A

Beg FV of plan assets x Expected Rate of Return

70
Q

How do you find the Amortization of prior service cost (A IN SIR AGE)

A

Beginning unrecognized prior service cost / average remaining service life

71
Q

Liquidating Dividends impacts APIC and Retained Earnings how?
