Initial recognition
When terms of payment are for 1yr and below - FV (transaction price)

Payment discount

Q

Initial measurement

A
  • FV + Transaction cost
  • FV = PV of the future cashflows discounted using the market interest rate (imputed interest rate) of similar asset
  • Discount rate from borrower’s perspective is the more clearly determinable of:

a. Rate implied when the cash price of the sale is known OR
b. The borrower’s incremental borrowing rate IBR

  • When the imputed interest rate = market interest rate;
    Fair value is then = Face value
  • When the imputed interest rate is NOT = market interest rate OR it is non-interest bearing;
    Record Note at PV + transaction cost

Q

What are the categories of Passive investment

The primary considerations for classification of FAs are :
- The entity’s business model for managing such assets and
- The contractual cashflow characteristic of the asset

18
Q

Measurement of FI at FVPL

A
  1. Assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI
  2. Assets held for trade
    * Acquired principally to resell in the future
    * On initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified FI that are managed together
    * it is a derivative
  3. Assets, on initial recognition are designated as FVPL

Examples of assets accounted for at amortized cost include
- AR balances
- Bank deposits
- Redeemable preference shares
- Bonds the company intends to hold till they mature

20
Q

Measurement of FI at FVOCI

A

FAs are measured at FVOCI if the entity’s biz model is to sell investments prior to its maturity to realize profit. Difference with Amortized cost is that there must be intention to sell with FVOCI. Dividend income from FVOCI FI is recorded through P/L
They include :
- Equity investment designated as FVOCI
- Debt instruments that are solely for payment of principal & interest
