*Ex. 14-125—Accounting for troubled debt. (a) What are the general rules for measuring and recognizing a gain or loss by the debtor on a settlement of troubled debt which includes the transfer of noncash assets? (b) What are the general rules for measuring and recognizing a gain and for recording future payments by the debtor in a troubled debt restructuring?

*Solution 14-125 (a) If the settlement of debt includes the transfer of noncash assets, a gain is measured by the debtor as the difference between the fair value of the assets transferred and the carrying amount of the debt, including accrued interest. The debtor also recognizes a gain or loss on the disposal of assets as the difference between the fair value of the assets transferred and their book value. (b) If the carrying amount of the payable is greater than the undiscounted total future cash flows, the gain is measured by the debtor as the difference between the carrying amount and the future cash flows. Future payments reduce the principal; no interest expense is recorded by the debtor. If the carrying amount of the payable is less than the future cash flows, no restructuring gain is recognized by the debtor. A new effective-interest rate is calculated that equates the present value of the future cash flows with the carrying amount of the debt. A part of the future cash flows is recorded as interest expense by the debtor.

Provisions are only recorded if it is likely that the company will have to settle an obligation at some point in the future.

Short-term debt obligations are classified as current liabilities unless an agreement to refinance is completed before the financial statements are issued.

The cash paid for interest will always be greater than interest expense when using effectiveinterest amortization for a bond.

The interest rate written in the terms of the bond indenture is called the effective yield or market rate.

Briefly describe some of the differences between GAAP and IFRS with respect to the accounting for long-term liabilities.

IFRS and GAAP have similar definitions for liabilities. Although the two standards are quite similar with respect to treatment of current liabilities, there are a few differences in the treatment of long-term liabilities: (1) Under GAAP and under IFRS, bond issue costs are netted against the carrying amount of the bonds. (2) GAAP has developed specific guidelines for debt restructuring and terms it as "trouble-debt restructurings" however IFRS assumes that all restructurings will be accounted for as extinguishments of debt. (3) Under IFRS, companies do not use premium or discount accounts but instead show the bond at its net amount. (4) GAAP permits the use of straight-line method of amortization for bond discount or premium in cases where the amount recorded is not materially different from effective-interest amortization. However IFRS allows only effective-interest method.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities is called the

a. current ratio.

To record an asset retirement obligation (ARO), the cost associated with the ARO is

b. included in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.

Assume that a manufacturing corporation has (1) good quality control, (2) a one-year operating cycle, (3) a relatively stable pattern of annual sales, and (4) a continuing policy of guaranteeing new products against defects for three years that has resulted in material but rather stable warranty repair and replacement costs. Any liability for the warranty

c. should be reported as part current and part long-term.

A loss contingency can be accrued when

c. the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred.

IFRS requires bond issue costs:

c. to be netted against the carrying amount of the bonds.

The debt to assets ratio is computed by dividing

c. total liabilities by total assets.

The generally accepted method of accounting for gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt treats any gain or loss as

d. a difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the debt which should be recognized in the period of redemption.

Off-balance-sheet financing is an attempt to borrow monies in such a way to minimize the reporting of debt on the balance sheet.

a. bond indenture.

Contingent assets are not reported in the statement of financial position.

Contingent liabilities are not reported in the financial statements but may be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements if the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is possible.

The stated rate is the same as the coupon rate.

Which of the following gives rise to the requirement to accrue a liability for the cost of compensated absences?

Briefly describe some of the similarities and differences between GAAP and IFRS with respect to the accounting for liabilities.

Among the similarities are: (1) IFRS requires that companies present current and noncurrent liabilities on the face of the statement of financial position, with current liabilities generally presented in order of liquidity, (2) Both prohibit the recognition of liabilities for future losses; (3) IFRS and GAAP are similar in the treatment of asset retirement obligations (AROs), and (4) IFRS and GAAP are similar in their treatment of contingencies. Although the two standards are similar with respect to the above topics, there are differences, including: (1) Under IFRS, the measurement of a provision related to a contingency is based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. If a range of estimates is predicted and no amount in the range is more likely than any other amount in the range, the 'mid-point' of the range is used to measure the liability. In GAAP, the minimum amount in a range is used; (2) IFRS permits recognition of a restructuring liability, once a company has committed to a restructuring plan. GAAP has additional criteria (i.e., related to communicating the plan to employees), before a restructuring liability can be established; (3) the recognition criteria for an asset retirement obligation are more stringent under GAAP—the ARO is not recognized unless there is a present legal obligation and the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated; and (4) the criteria for recognizing contingent assets for insurance recoveries are recognized if probable; IFRS requires the recovery be "virtually certain," before recognition of an asset is permitted.

Pr. 14-127—Bond interest and discount amortization. Grove Corporation issued $6,000,000 of 8% bonds on October 1, 2017, due on October 1, 2022.

Pr. 13-154—Refinancing of short-term debt. At the financial statement date of December 31, 2017, the liabilities outstanding of Pollard Corporation included the following: 1. Cash dividends on common stock, $50,000, payable on January 15, 2018. 2. Note payable to Wabaso State Bank, $470,000, due January 20, 2018. 3. Serial bonds, $1,800,000, of which $450,000 mature during 2018. 4. Note payable to Orlando National Bank, $300,000, due January 27, 2018. The following transactions occurred early in 2018: January 15: The cash dividends on common stock were paid. January 20: The note payable to Wabaso State Bank was paid. January 25: The corporation entered into a financing agreement with Wabaso State Bank, enabling it to borrow up to $500,000 at any time through the end of 2020. Amounts borrowed under the agreement would bear interest at 1% above the bank's prime rate and would mature 3 years from the date of the loan. The corporation immediately borrowed $400,000 to replace the cash used in paying its January 20 note to the bank. January 26: 40,000 shares of common stock were issued for $350,000. $300,000 of the proceeds was used to liquidate the note payable to Orlando National Bank. February 1: The financial statements for 2017 were issued. Instructions Prepare a partial balance sheet for Pollard Corporation, showing the manner in which the above liabilities should be presented at December 31, 2017. The liabilities should be properly classified between current and long-term, and appropriate note disclosure should be included.

Current liabilities: Dividends payable $ 50,000 Notes payable— Wabaso State Bank 470,000 Currently maturing portion of serial bonds 450,000 Total current liabilities $ 970,000 Long-term debt: Note payable—Orlando National Bank, refinanced in January, 2018—Note 1 300,000 Serial bonds not maturing currently 1,350,000 Total long-term debt 1,650,000 Total liabilities $2,620,000 Note 1: On January 26, 2018, the corporation issued 40,000 shares of common stock and received proceeds totaling $350,000, of which $300,000 was used to liquidate a note payable that matured on January 27, 2018. Accordingly, such note payable has been classified as long-term debt at December 31, 2017.

A bond may only be issued on an interest payment date.

A company can exclude a short-term obligation from current liabilities if it intends to refinance the obligation and has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the obligation for at least 12 months following the due date.

All long-term debt maturing within the next year must be classified as a current liability on the balance sheet.

Amortization of a premium increases bond interest expense, while amortization of a discount decreases bond interest expense.

Companies should accrue an estimated loss from a loss contingency if information available prior to the issuance of financial statements indicates that it is reasonably possible that a liability has been incurred.

Dividends in arrears on cumulative preferred stock should be recorded as a current liability.

IFRS allows for reduced disclosure of contingent liabilities if the disclosure could increase the company`s chance of losing a lawsuit.

IFRS requires the use of straight-line method for amortization of a discount or premium.

If a company plans to retire long-term debt from a bond retirement fund, it should report the debt as current.

The revenue from a service-type warranty that covers several years should all be recognized in the period the warranty is sold.

Under IFRS, bond issue costs are recorded as an asset.

Under an assurance-type warranty, companies charge warranty costs only to the period in which they comply with the warranty.

Ex. 13-150—Contingent liabilities. Below are three independent situations. 1. In August, 2018 a worker was injured in the factory in an accident partially the result of his own negligence. The worker has sued Barkley Co. for $800,000. Counsel believes it is reasonably possible that the outcome of the suit will be unfavorable and that the settlement would cost the company from $250,000 to $500,000. 2. A suit for breach of contract seeking damages of $3,000,000 was filed by an author against Henderson Co. on October 4, 2018. Henderson's legal counsel believes that an unfavorable outcome is probable. A reasonable estimate of the award to the plaintiff is between $1,000,000 and $2,250,000. No amount within this range is a better estimate of potential damages than any other amount. 3. Kroft is involved in a pending court case. Kroft's lawyers believe it is probable that Kroft will be awarded damages of $1,000,000. Instructions Discuss the proper accounting treatment, including any required disclosures, for each situation. Give the rationale for your answers.

Solution 13-150 1. Barkley Co. should disclose in the notes to the financial statements the existence of a possible contingent liability related to the law suit. The note should indicate the range of the possible loss. The contingent liability should not be accrued because the loss is not probable. 2. The probable award should be accrued by a charge to an estimated loss and a credit to an estimated liability of $1,000,000. Henderson Co. should disclose the following in the notes to the financial statements: the amount of the suit, the nature of the contingency, the reason for the accrual, and the range of the possible loss. The accrual is made because it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The lowest amount of the range of possible losses is used when no amount is a better estimate than any other amount. 3. Kroft should not record the gain contingency until it's realized. Usually, gain contingencies are neither accrued nor disclosed. The $1,000,000 gain contingency should be disclosed only if the probability that it will be realized is very high.

Ex. 13-151—Premiums. Irwin Music Shop gives its customers coupons redeemable for a poster plus a Bo Diddley CD. One coupon is issued for each dollar of sales. On the surrender of 100 coupons and $6.00 cash, the poster and CD are given to the customer. It is estimated that 80% of the coupons will be presented for redemption. Sales for the first period were $700,000, and the coupons redeemed totaled 420,000. Sales for the second period were $840,000, and the coupons redeemed totaled 750,000. Irwin Music Shop bought 20,000 posters at $2.50/poster and 20,000 CDs at $7.50/CD. Instructions Prepare the following entries for the two periods, assuming all the coupons expected to be redeemed from the first period were redeemed by the end of the second period. Entry Period 1 Period 2 (a) To record coupons redeemed ——————————————————————————————————————————— (b) To record estimated liability

Solution 13-151 Entry Period 1 Period 2 (a) Premium Liability 5,600 Premium Expense [(420,000 ÷ 100) × ($10 - $6)] 16,800 24,400 Cash (420,000 ÷ 100) × $6 25,200 45,000 Inventory of Premiums 42,000 75,000 ——————————————————————————————————————————— (b) Premium Expense 5,600* 2,480 Premium Liability 5,600 2,480 *[(700,000 × .80) - 420,000] ÷ 100 × $4

Ex. 13-152—Premiums. Sterling Co. includes one coupon in each bag of dog food it sells. In return for 4 coupons, customers receive a dog toy that the company purchases for $1.50 each. Sterling's experience indicates that 60 percent of the coupons will be redeemed. During 2017, 150,000 bags of dog food were sold, 18,000 toys were purchased, and 60,000 coupons were redeemed. During 2018, 180,000 bags of dog food were sold, 24,000 toys were purchased, and 90,000 coupons were redeemed. Instructions Determine the premium expense to be reported in the income statement and the premium liability on the balance sheet for 2017 and 2018.

Solution 13-152 2017 2018 Premium expense $33,750 (1) $40,500 (3) Premium liability 11,250 (2) 18,000 (4) (1) 150,000 × .6 = 90,000; 90,000 ÷ 4 = 22,500; 22,500 × $1.50 = $33,750. (2) 60,000 ÷ 4 = 15,000; 22,500 - 15,000 = 7,500; 7,500 × $1.50 = $11,250. (3) 180,000 × .6 = 108,000; 108,000 ÷ 4 = 27,000; 27,000 × $1.50 = $40,500. (4) 90,000 ÷ 4 = 22,500; 7,500 + 27,000 - 22,500 = 12,000; 12,000 × $1.50 = $18,000.
