Answer Section
PROBLEM
1. (a) The $600,000 noninterest-bearing note should be recorded at its present value of $450,000
($600,000 × .75). The journal entry is
The loss is recognized because the fair value of the note received ($450,000) is $30,000 less than the
carrying amount of the equipment sold ($480,000).
2. D
Carrying value of debt as of December 31, 2009 P3,198,176
Less: par value of ordinary shares (30,000 x 100) 3,000,000
Credit to share premium on conversion date P 198,176
Transfer of the equity component 223,100
Total credit to share premium on conversion P 421,276
3. (a) Machinery is recorded at its historical cost, which is measured by the cash or cash equivalent price
of obtaining the machine and preparing it for use. The journal entry to record this acquisition would be
Machinery 110,000 (cash equiv.) Discount on N.P. 20,000 ($130,000 - $110,000) Notes payable 120,000
(24 × $5,000) Cash 10,000 The $20,000 discount represents future interest expense (the cost
associated with paying for the asset over two years instead of immediately) rather than part of the cost
of the machine. Straight-line depreciation for year 4 is computed as follows:
4. A
PAS 39, paragraph 40, provides that a substantial modification of terms of an existing financial liability
shall be accounted for as an extinguishment of the old liability and the recognition of a new liability.
Under Application Guidance 2 of PAS 39, there is substantial modification of terms if the gain or loss on
extinguishment is a least 10% of the total old liability.
The difference between the old liability and the present value of the new liability which is discounted
using the old effective rate shall be accounted for as gain or loss on extinguishment.
5. (c) Debt and equity securities that are classified as trading securities are reported at fair market value,
with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Therefore, at 12/31/Y1 Wynn would recognize an
unrealized holding gain of $35,000 ($945,000 – $910,000) on the income statement, and report the
securities at their fair market value of $945,000. Securities classified as trading securities are reported at
fair market value on the balance sheet.
7. (c) The requirement is to calculate the amount that should be presented for inventory. Answer (c) is
correct because the lower of cost or net realizable value method requires net realizable value to be
calculated as the estimated selling price less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs to sell.
Therefore, the NRV is $850 ($900 – $50). The lower of cost or net realizable value is determined by
comparing the cost of $1,000 to the NRV of $850, and using the lower amount. Inventory should be
reported at $850.
8. D
PV of the bonds = 538,609; value of bonds without feature = 450,000; difference is the value of
the conversion = 88,609.
9. B
10. (d) From 1/2/Y1 to 12/31/Y3, depreciation was recorded using an eight-year life. Yearly depreciation was
$33,000 ($264,000 ÷ 8), and accumulated depreciation at 12/31/Y3 was $99,000 (3 × $33,000). In year
4, the estimated useful life was changed to six years total with a salvage value of $24,000. Therefore,
the 12/31/Y3 book value ($264,000 - $99,000 = $165,000) is depreciated down to the $24,000 salvage
value over a remaining useful life of three years (6 years total - 3 years already recorded). The year 4
depreciation expense is $47,000 [($165,000 - $24,000) ÷ 3], increasing accumulated depreciation to
$146,000 ($99,000 + $47,000).
11. (b) The cash price of the new machine represents its fair market value (FMV). The FMV of the old
machine can be determined by subtracting the cash portion of the purchase price ($6,000) from the total
cost of the new machine: $20,500 - $6,000 = $14,500. Since the book value of the machine ($16,800)
exceeds its FMV on the date of the trade-in ($14,500), the difference of $2,300 must be recognized as a
loss.
12. (a) If material, an allowance for discounts must be reported at year-end in order to match the discounts
with the related sales and to report receivables at their collectible amount. At 12/31/Y2, $100,000 of the
accounts receivable have the potential to be discounted by 2% because they are less than fifteen days
old (terms 2/15, net 30). Since 50% of the customers are expected to take advantage of the 2%
discount, the allowance for discounts should be $1,000 [($100,000 × 50%) × 2%]. None of the other
categories require a discount allowance because they are older than the maximum age of fifteen days to
receive the 2% discount.
13. (a) The 12/31/Y2 current net receivables would include the trade receivables, net of the allowance
account ($93,000 – $2,000 = $91,000). The claim against a shipper for goods lost in transit ($3,000) is
also a valid receivable at year-end. Therefore, the total current net receivables are $94,000 ($91,000 +
$3,000). The unsold goods on consignment do not represent a receivable until sold. Therefore, the
$26,000 should be removed from receivables and sales and the cost ($26,000 ÷ 130% = $20,000)
should be removed from cost of goods sold and reported as ending inventory. The security deposit
($30,000) should be reported as a long-term receivable.
15. Solution: A
Cost of goods sold p1, 859, 082
Less: Decrease in inventory (P815, 386-p488, 874) 326, 512
Purchases 1, 532, 570
Less: Increase in accts. Payable (P737, 824-p286, 924) 450, 900
Amount paid to supplier in 2013 p1, 081, 670

19. (a) Before adjustment, the balance in the Accounts Payable account is $360,000. This amount is net of a
$50,000 debit balance in Lyle’s account payable to Ross resulting from a $50,000 advance payment for
goods to be manufactured to Lyle’s specifications. The $50,000 should be reclassified as a current
asset, Advance to Suppliers. The checks recorded on 12/29/Y2 incorrectly reduced the accounts
payable balance by $100,000. The $100,000 reduction should not have been recorded until the checks
were mailed on 1/5/Y3. The 12/31/Y2 accounts payable must be increased by $100,000. Therefore, the
corrected 12/31/Y2 accounts payable is $510,000.
Unadjusted AP $360,000 Reclassification of advance 50,000 Error correction 100,000 $510,000
20. (c) The proceeds of bonds issued with detachable warrants are allocated between the bonds and the
warrants based upon their relative fair value at the time of issuance. In this case, the portion allocated to
the bonds is $900,000, calculated as follows:
Therefore, the bonds payable are reported at $900,000 (face value $1,000,000 less discount $100,000).
21. (b) The lender’s carrying amount of the loan is calculated by adding the direct loan origination costs to
the principal and deducting the loan origination fee charged to the borrower. Indirect loan origination
costs are charged to expense as incurred, and are not considered when calculating the carrying amount
of the loan. Therefore, Martin Bank has a carrying amount of $148,000 [$150,000 principal plus $4,000
direct loan origination costs minus $6,000 ($150,000 × 0.04) nonrefundable loan origination fee]. The
$2,000 indirect loan origination costs are expensed in the period incurred.
22. (c) All R&D costs are to be charged to expense when incurred. Specifically R&D costs include designing,
constructing, and testing preproduction prototypes, and the cost of R&D equipment (unless it has
alternative future uses). Therefore, $340,000 ($60,000 + $200,000 + $80,000) is classified as R&D costs
and expensed. The legal costs incurred to obtain a patent ($10,000) are capitalized in the patents
account.
23. (d) Gain contingencies are not reflected in the accounts until realized. Since the case was unresolved at
12/31/Y2, none of this contingent gain can be recorded as a receivable and/or revenue in year 2. Since
the contingency is probable, it should be disclosed along with the 12/31/Y2 estimate of a range of
$75,000 to $150,000. A gain contingency would not be accrued as a receivable. The amount disclosed
should be the range because all amounts within the range are considered equally likely.
24. c
25. (b) To determine the 12/31/Y2 balance of the liability for customer advances, the solutions approach is to
set up a T-account for the liability.
When advances are received ($184,000), cash is debited and the liability account is credited. When
advances are applied to orders shipped ($164,000), the liability account is debited and sales is credited.
When an order is cancelled ($50,000), the liability account is debited and a revenue account is credited,
since the advance payments are nonrefundable. Thus, the customer advances balance on 12/31/Y2 is
$88,000.
27. D
The contingent asset is disclosed only because the case is unresolved on December 31, 2010. The
issue is what amount of gain will be disclosed. Since the case is settled in March 2011 after the
issuance of the 2010 financial statements in February 2011, the estimated amount of P1,500,000 shall
be disclosed. However, id the case is settled before the issuance of the statements, the actual award of
P1,000,000 shall be disclosed.
28. (a) The annual amortization of capitalized software costs shall be the greater of
1. The ratio of the software’s current sales to its expected total sales, or 2. The straight-line method over
the economic life of the product. In this case, the ratio of current to expected total sales is 30% (given).
The annual straight-line rate is 20% per year (1 ÷ economic life of five years). The 30% amortization
should be recorded in year 4, since it is the higher of the two. The unamortized cost on the 12/31/Y4
balance sheet should, therefore, be 70% (100% - 30% amortization). Note that the unamortized cost of
capitalized software products must be compared to the net realizable value of those assets at each
balance sheet date. Any excess of the amortized cost over the net realizable value must be written off.
In this case, the net realizable value (90%) was above the unamortized cost (70%), so no additional
write-off was required.
29. (d) The requirement is to determine the amount to be presented on the balance sheet. When the fair
value option is elected, any effects of discounts or premiums are removed from the financial statements,
and the accounting rules for reporting discounts and premiums no longer apply.
30. (b) At 1/1/Y1, Glen would record as a current liability unearned rent of $50,000, and as a long-term
liability unearned rent of $150,000. During year 1, the current portion of unearned rent was earned and
would be recognized as revenue. At 12/31/Y1, the portion of the long-term liability representing the
second year’s rent ($50,000) would be reclassified as current, leaving as a long-term liability the
$100,000 representing the last two years’ rent.
31. (b) The depletion charge per unit is the depletion base (net cost of the resource) divided by the
estimated units of the resource. Vorst’s depletion base is $2,880,000, as computed below.
Cost of mine $2,640,000 Development cost 360,000 Restoration cost 180,000 Residual value (300,000)
$2,880,000 Note that the present value of the restoration costs are recorded. The depletion charge is
$2.40 per ton ($2,880,000 ÷ 1,200,000 tons). Since 60,000 tons were removed and sold, depletion of
$144,000 (60,000 × $2.40) is included in Vorst’s year 4 income statement. Note that the amount of
depletion included in the income statement depends on the tons sold. If more tons were removed than
sold, part of the depletion would be included in the cost of ending inventory rather than in the income
statement.
32. (a) The gross profit method can be used to estimate the cost of missing inventory. The first step is to
compute the cost of goods available for sale.
Beginning inventory $ 500,000 Purchases 2,500,000 Cost of goods available for sale $3,000,000 The
second step is to estimate cost of goods sold based on the gross profit percentage.
Sales $3,200,000 Estimated gross profit ($3,200,000 × 25%) (800,000) Cost of goods sold ($3,200,000
× 75%) $2,400,000 Note that a shortcut is to realize that if gross
profit is 25% of sales, cost of goods sold must be 75% of sales. The third step is to compute estimated
ending inventory.
Cost of goods available for sale $ 3,000,000 Estimated cost of goods sold (2,400,000) Estimated ending
inventory $ 600,000 Since the actual count of ending inventory at December 31 was only $575,000, the
estimated shortage in inventory is $25,000 ($600,000 – $575,000).

35. (b) A company should record as an asset the cost of intangible assets such as goodwill acquired from
other entities. Costs of developing intangible assets such as goodwill “which are not specifically
identifiable, have indeterminate lives, or are inherent in a continuing business and related to an entity as
a whole” should be expensed when incurred. Therefore, only the $200,000 (and not the additional
$80,000) should be
capitalized as goodwill. Goodwill should not be amortized.
39. (d) The FASB excludes from its definitions of research and development expense the acquisition,
development, or improvement of a product or process for use in its selling or administrative activities.
Both costs given in this problem relate to selling or administrative activities, so the expenditures of
$175,000 would not be reported as research and development expense.
40. (c) An estimated loss from a loss contingency shall be accrued by a charge to income if both of the
following conditions are met:
1. Information available indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has
been incurred. 2. The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. However, gain contingencies are
only recognized when a specific event actually occurs, not prior to the event, because to do so would
recognize the gain prior to its
realization. Therefore, Brooks should recognize the loss in year 2 due to the fact that the event is
probable and can be reasonably estimated. Dollis, on the other hand, cannot recognize the gain until
year 3, the year they receive the actual award.
42. (b) The amount of interest cost which should be capitalized during building construction is the lower of
avoidable interest or actual interest. Avoidable interest equals the interest computed on the weighted-
average amount of accumulated expenditures on the building ($40,000). Since actual interest is $70,000
($50,000 + $20,000), the amount capitalized should be $40,000.

47. (a) Case expects 120,000 coupons to be redeemed at a total cost of $.50 per coupon ($.45 + $.05).
Therefore, total expected redemptions are $60,000 (120,000 × $.50). By 12/31/Y2, $25,000 has been
paid on coupon redemptions, so a liability of $35,000 must be established ($60,000 - $25,000). Note that
this liability would include both payments due for the 50,000 coupons on hand, and payments due on
coupons to be received within the first thirty days after the expiration date.
48. (d) No adjustment is necessary for the goods in transit ($36,000). The goods were shipped FOB
shipping point, which means the buyer (Opal) owns the goods while in transit. Therefore, Opal properly
included these goods in 12/31/Y2 inventory. The merchandise out on consignment is owned by the
consignor (Opal) and should be included in Opal’s inventory at cost [$40,000 – (40% × $40,000) =
$24,000]. Therefore, inventory must be reduced by $16,000 for this item ($40,000 – $24,000). The
goods held on consignment ($27,000) are owned by the consignor, not Opal; therefore, inventory must
be reduced $27,000 for this item. The total reduction in inventory is $43,000 ($16,000 + $27,000).

Present value:
Rentals (3,000,000 x 3.60) 10,800,000
Residual value (1,000,000 x .57) 570,000 11,370,000
Total unearned financial revenue 4,630,000
Note that whether the residual value is guaranteed or unguaranteed the unearned financial revenue is
the same.

51. (b) The requirement is to determine the amount that should be recognized in the financial statements for
the trademark. Answer (b) is correct because the trademark amount should include the purchase price
($100,000) plus the VAT taxes ($5,000) plus the legal cost incurred to register the trademark ($10,500),
which is equal to $115,500. The research expenditures, training costs, and salaries should be expensed.
52. (c) To compute cost of goods sold, the solutions approach is to set up a T-account for inventory
Purchases increase inventory, while the write-off and cost of goods sold decrease inventory. Cost of
goods sold can be computed as $150,000 using the T-account. An alternate solutions approach is to use
the CGS computation
53. (c) Cash on hand ($125,000) and cash in banks ($2,250,000) are both reported as cash in the current
asset section of the balance sheet because they are both unrestricted and readily available for use.
Cash legally restricted for additions to plant ($1,600,000) is not available to meet current operating
needs, and therefore should be excluded from current assets. Instead, it should be shown in the long-
term asset section of the balance sheet as an investment.
54. (a) When using the interest method of amortization, interest revenue is computed as follows:
The initial BV is the total amount paid less the accrued interest ($946,000 – $40,000 = $906,000). The
amount of interest receivable for the six months is computed below.
The discount amortized at 12/31/Y1 is the difference in these two amounts ($45,300 – $40,000 =
$5,300). This increases the book value of the investment to $911,300 ($906,000 + $5,300).

59. (b) The investment should be accounted for on the equity basis and the calculation of Puff’s income from
the investment is shown below.
Straw’s net income $150,000 × 40% Puff’s share of Straw’s net income $ 60,000 Less: Puff’s
depreciation of excess value of equipment Excess cost $100,000 × 40% Puff’s share $ 40,000
Remaining useful life ÷ 5 Puff’s share of excess depreciation for year 1 (8,000) Income from investment
on the equity basis $ 52,000
60. (d) Term bonds are bond issues that mature on a single date, as opposed to serial bonds, which mature
in installments. In this case, the 9 3/4% bonds and the 9 1/2% bonds are term bonds ($700,000 +
$600,000 = $1,300,000), while the 10% bonds are serial bonds ($300,000).
61. (c) The definition of cash includes both cash (cash on hand and demand deposits) and cash equivalents
(short-term, highly liquid investments). Cash equivalents have to be readily convertible into cash and so
near maturity that they carry little risk of changing in value due to interest rate changes. This will include
only those investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase by the
enterprise. Common examples of cash equivalents include treasury bills, commercial paper, and money
market funds. Trans should report a total of $460,000 ($35,000 + $75,000 + $350,000) on its December
31, year 2 balance sheet. The US treasury bill purchased on 12/1/Y2 is not included in the calculation
because its original maturity is not within three months or less from the date of purchase.
62. (b) Materials, equipment, facilities, or intangibles that are acquired for a current R&D project and have
no alternative future use in other R&D projects should be expensed in the period in which acquired. If
alternative future uses are expected, whether in other R&D activities or in normal operations, these
items should be recorded as assets and the cost should be amortized over their useful lives by periodic
charges to R&D expense. If, at any point, these assets are no longer deemed to have alternative future
uses, the remaining unamortized cost is charged to R&D expense for the period. Depreciation expense
would be $20,000 ($100,000 / 5 years).
63. Ans: D Standard prohibits an enterprise to transfer from fair value model to cost model. Therefore, the
entity should continue to measure its investment property at fair value of P1,000,000 and recognized
loss of P600,000 as a decline in value of investment not as a loss on transfer from fair value to cost
model.
64. (a) Gain contingencies are not reflected in the accounts until realized. Since the case is unresolved at
12/31/Y5, none of this contingent gain should be recorded as income in year 5. Adequate disclosure
should be made of the gain contingency, but care should be taken to avoid misleading implications as to
the likelihood of realization.
