Impairment of Intangible assets with finite lives - US GAAP

A

Use a two-step impairment test. Step 1-Carrying amount is compared to the sum of the undiscounted C/F expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Step 2-If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted C/F, the asset is impaired and the imp loss is recorded for the diff between the carrying amount of the asset and its FV.

341
Q

Market Value Method for Convertible Bonds

NOT GAAP. I/S impacted because a gain or loss is recognized. At conversion, the bonds payable and related premium are written off, and C/S is credited at par. The credit to APIC is the excess of market price of the stock over par value. Diff between market value of the stock and the book value of the bonds is a recognized gain or loss.

342

PSC increases the PBO and is recorded as unrecognized PSC in OCI. It is amortized to pension expense over the plan participant’s remaining years of service. Calculated using the unrecognized prior service cost balance at the beginning of the period.

358
Q

Gains and Losses for Pension Expense

A

Two sources; actuarial change in assumption (actuarial gains and losses) or difference between expected and actual return on plan assets when expected is used to calculate pension expense. GAAP allows the gains and losses to be recognized in the perion incurred or to record them in OCI and amortize them under the corridor approach, for smoothing purposes.

359
Q

Corridor Approach for Pension Expense Gains/Losses

A

Unrecognized gain or loss is amortized over the employee’s average remaining service period, if as of the beginning of the year, this amount >10% of the FV of plan assets (Assets) or PBO (Liabilities). If so, unrecognized gain or loss - 10% of Liab/Assets = Excess. Excess / Avg remaining service life = amort of unrecognized gain or loss

360
Q

378
Q

Amort. Expense of the Transition Obligation

394
Q

Net temporary adjustment for deferred tax account

A

Adjustment is for the change in deferred taxes (asset or liability) due to the current year’s events. Income tax expense/benefit is the difference between the beginning balance in the deferred tax account and the properly computed ending balance in the account.

(NI-PD)/WACSO or Income available to common S/H / weighted average # of C/S outstanding

430
Q

Stock dividends and stock splits in calculation for EPS

A

treat as though they occurred at the beginning of the period. Shares outstanding or split must be restated for the portion of the period before the stock dividend/split.

431
Q

Diluted EPS Formula

A

Basic EPS + Pref Divs + Bond Interest Net of tax / WACSO New. (Income available to C/S S/H + interest on dilutive securities) / WACSO assuming all dilutive shares are converted to C/S.

432
Q

A

No change to numerator; only increase denominator.

433
Q

T/S Method for dilution

A

Assumes that proceeds from the exercise of stock options, warrants, and their equivalents will be used to repo T/S at the prevailing market price.

434
Q

Dilutive versus Antidilutive

A

Conservatism. Assume that if an option is in the money, it will be converted. If not in the money, assume that it will not be exercised.

435
Q

Dilution from Convertible Bonds

A

Add Interest expense, net of tax, to the numerator, due to the assumed conversion of bonds to C/S. Add to denominator the common shares associated with the assumed conversion.

436
Q

Antidilution from Convertible Bonds

A

Rule of conservatism. Each issue should be considered separately in sequence from most to least dilutive with options and warrants generally included first. Do not include results if antidilutive.

437
Q

Dilution from Convertible P/S
