Chape Co. had the following information related to common and preferred shares during the year: Common shares outstanding, 1/1 700,000 Common shares repurchased, 3/31 20,000 Conversion of preferred shares, 6/30 40,000 Common shares repurchased, 12/1 36,000 Chape reported net income of $2,000,000 at December 31. What amount of shares should Chape use as the denominator in the computation of basic earnings per share?
700,000 12/12 700,000 - 20,000 9/12 - 15,000 +40,000 6/12 +20,000 -36,000 1/12 - 3,000 702,000
Interim Tax formula
(cumulative year-to-date income x estimated annual tax rate) -any tax expense recognized in prior interim periods
Diluted EPS formula
*(net income - preferred stock dividends + adjustments to income for assumed conversion of potential common stock) / (weighted avg common shares outstanding + shares from assumed conversion of potential common shares)*
Basic EPS formula
*(net income - preferred stock dividends) / (weighted avg common shares outstanding)* (NOTE:The denominator is not just the ending # of shares. If any shares were issued in the year you're calculating EPS for, *you need to multiply the # of shares by the % of the year they've been outstanding*. So if 1,000 shares were issued on July 1, you would multiply 1,000 x (6/12), which would be 500 shares)
Under what circumstances does reporting currency = functional currency (local currency) ?
1. If the local economy is in hyperinflation, which means inflation of 100% or more for 3 straight years, the reporting currency is the functional currency 2. If the foreign operations could not operate without the U.S. entity's operations, then the reporting currency is also the functional currency 3.The subsidiary's operation is self-contained, and generates and expends cash primarily in the local foreign currency.

The value of a variable-interest entity depends on the net asset value of the variable-interest entity.
Finch Co. reported a total *asset retirement obligation of $257,000* in last year's financial statements. This year, Finch acquired assets subject to unconditional retirement obligations measured at *undiscounted cash flow estimates of $110,000 and discounted cash flow estimates of $68,000*. *Finch paid $87,000 toward the settlement* of previously recorded asset retirement obligations and recorded an *accretion expense of $26,000*.

During the current year, Comma Co. had outstanding: 25,000 shares of common stock, 8,000 shares of $20 par, 10% cumulative preferred stock, and 3,000 bonds that are $1,000 par and 9% convertible. The bonds were originally issued at par, and each bond was convertible into 30 shares of common stock. During the year, net income was $200,000, no dividends were declared, and the tax rate was 30%. What amount was Comma's basic earnings per share for the current year?
Basic EPS = [$200,000 - (8,000 x $20 x .10)]/25,000 = ($200,000 - $16,000)/25,000 = $7.36.
(From above) What amount is the net gain or loss that would be recognized on the raw material and related forward contract by Buyco over the life of the contract?
Because Buyco entered into the forward contract (hedging instrument) to hedge the risk of change in the fair value of the raw materials (hedged item), the change in the fair value of the forward contract over the life of the contract offsets the change in the fair value of the raw materials. *Specifically, the decrease in the value of the raw materials, $700 ($20,000 - $19,300 = $700), was offset by the increase in the value of the forward contract of $700 (given), so the net gain recognized over the life of the contract was $700 - $700 = $-0-*.
Which one of the following correctly reflects a set of events that may result in a sequence of related hedges? A. Firm commitment -> forecasted transaction -> recognized liability. B. Firm commitment -> recognized liability -> forecasted transaction. C. Forecasted transaction -> firm commitment -> recognized liability. D. Forecasted transaction -> recognized liability -> firm commitment.
C. Forecasted transaction -> firm commitment -> recognized liability.

Describe foreign currency exchange and option contract
FX exchange contract: *this is an obligation to buy or sell a foreign currency*. It is likely to result in gain(loss) for contract holder when entered into speculation FX option contract: *this gives the right to buy or sell a foreign currency, but not an obligation to do so*.

Damon Co. purchased 100% of the outstanding common stock of Smith Co. in an acquisition by issuing 20,000 shares of its $1 par common stock that had a fair value of $10 per share and providing contingent consideration that had a fair value of $10,000 on the acquisition date. Damon also incurred $15,000 in direct acquisition costs. On the acquisition date, Smith had assets with a book value of $200,000, a fair value of $350,000, and related liabilities with a book and fair value of $70,000. What amount of gain should Damon report related to this transaction?
Fair value of net assets acquired: Assets ($350,000) - Liabilities ($70,000) = $280,000 Cost of Investment: Stock (20,000 shares x $10/share) =$200,000 Contingent consideration @ fair value = 10,000 Total cost of investment = 210,000 FV of net assets > Cost of investment = Gain = $70,000

On January 2, 20X8, Fiserveco acquired a five-year right to service mortgage contracts for which it paid $120,000. Fiserveco estimated that servicing and other fees would generate $400,000 over the five-year period. During 20X8 the contract generated $100,000 in revenues. Which one of the following is the amount of expense, if any, that Fiseerveco should recognize in 20X8 as amortization of its servicing asset?
Since Fiserveco acquired the servicing rights asset in the market, it should recognize a servicing asset at its fair value, which is the cost to Fiserveco in the market. Therefore, it should recognize an asset of $120,000 on January 2, 20X8. That servicing asset should be amortized each period over the life of the contract in the same proportion that period revenues have to expected total revenues. During 20X8, $100,000 of an expected $400,000 total revenues was earned. Therefore, $100,000/$400,000, or ¼ of the servicing asset should be amortized. One-fourth of $120,000 = $30,000, the correct answer.
On October 1, 2008, Buyco entered into a legally enforceable contract to acquire *raw material inventory in 180 days for $20,000*. In order to mitigate the risk of a change in the value of the raw materials, Buyco also entered into a qualified 180-day forward contract to hedge the fair value of the raw materials. *At December 31, 2008, the value of the raw materials had decreased by $500*, and the *fair value of the futures contract had increased by $480*. On *March 29, 2009, the date the raw materials were delivered to Buyco, they had a fair value of $19,300*, and the *forward contract had a fair value of $700*. Which one of the following is the amount by which the *derivative is ineffective* as a fair value hedge for 2008?
Since during 2008 the change in the value of the raw materials decreased more than the value of the forward contract increased, the difference is the amount by which the derivative is ineffective as a fair value hedge. Specifically, the decrease in the value of the raw materials, $500, was offset by the increase in the value of the forward contract of $480, so the hedge was ineffective by *$500 - $480 = $20*,
(From above) What amount is the net gain or loss that would be recognized on the raw material and related forward contract by Buyco in its 2009 net income?
Specifically, the decrease in the value of the raw materials, $200 ($20,000 -$500 - $19,300 = $200), was offset by the increase in the value of the forward contract of $220 ($700 - $480 = $220), so the *net gain* recognized in 2009 was $220 - $200 = $20, which is the correct answer.
(From above) What amount is the amount of net gain or loss that would be recognized on the raw materials and related forward contract by Buyco in its 2008 net income?
Specifically, the decrease in the value of the raw materials, $500, was offset by the increase in the value of the forward contract of $480, so the *net loss *recognized in 2008 was $500 - $480 = $20, which is the correct answer.
On December 30, 2004, Rafferty Corp. leased equipment under a capital lease. Annual lease payments of $20,000 are due December 31 for 10 years. The equipment's useful life is 10 years, and the interest rate implicit in the lease is 10%. The capital lease obligation was recorded on December 30, 2004 at $135,000, and the first lease payment was made on that date. What amount should Rafferty include in *current liabilities for this capital lease in its December 31, 2004 balance sheet?*
The lease liability at the end of 2004 is $115,000 ($135,000 - $20,000) because the first payment has been made and it consisted only of principal. The entry to be made at the end of 2005 will be: Dr Interest expense .10($115,000) 11,500 *Dr Lease liability 8,500* Cr Cash 20,000 *The amount of the lease liability to be extinguished in 2005 is $8,500 as shown in the entry.* Therefore, as of December 31, 2004, the current portion of the lease liability is $8,500, the amount due within 1 year of the balance sheet date.
Oak Co. leased equipment for its entire 9-year useful life, *agreeing to pay $50,000 at the start of the lease term on December 31, 2004* and $50,000 annually on each December 31 for the next 8 years. The present value on December 31, 2004 of the nine lease payments over the lease term, using the rate implicit in the lease, which Oak knows to be *10%, was $316,500*. The December 31, 2004 present value of the lease payments using Oak's incremental borrowing rate of *12% was $298,500*. Oak made a timely second lease payment. What amount should Oak report as capital lease liability in its December 31, 2005 balance sheet?
The lessee uses 10% because it is the lower of the two rates and is known to the lessee. The lease liability balance immediately after the first payment (at inception) is $266,500 ($316,500 - $50,000). The first payment includes no interest because it is made immediately. The entry for the 12/31/05 payment is: *Dr Lease liability 23,350* *Dr Interest expense .10($266,500) 26,650* *Cr Cash 50,000* *The ending lease liability balance is $266,500 - $23,350 = $243,150.*

On January 1, 2005, Park Co. signed a 10-year operating lease for office space at $96,000 per year. The lease included a provision for additional rent of 5% of annual company sales in excess of $500,000. Park's sales for the year ending December 31, 2005 were $600,000. Upon execution of the lease, Park paid $24,000 as a bonus for the lease. Park's rent expense for the year ending December 31, 2005 was
$96,000 annual amount is recognized each year + $2,400 is included in the rent expense each year ($24,000 total bonus/10-year term) + .05($600,000 - $500,000) or $5,000 additional rent = 103,400
At the beginning of the current year, *a firm invested $30 million in a natural resources site*. This amount was applied to the acquisition of the mineral rights, exploring for the resource (full-costing method is used), and development. In addition, the firm *must bring the property back to its original state three years from today*. Two estimates of the future cost for that future effort are: (1) $6 million with 30% probability, and (2) $4 million with 70% probability. 6% is the appropriate risk adjusted rate of return. The present value of $1 in three years at 6% is 0.83962. *By the end of the current year, the firm had removed 20% of the total estimated resource in the deposit*. Compute depletion and accretion expense for the current year.
*Asset retirement obligation beginning balance = [$6,000,000(.30) + $4,000,000(.70)](0.83962) = $3,862,252*. This is the present value of the expected future cost of reclaiming the property. The risk-adjusted rate of return is used because the probabilities account for the uncertainty of the cash flow amounts. *This beginning balance is added to the $30 million figure for a total of $33,862,252 capitalized depletion base*. *Depletion is 20% of that amount or $6,772,450*. Accretion expense is the growth in the asset retirement obligation for the year or *.06($3,862,252) = $231,735*.
Jay's lease payments are made at the end of each period. Jay's liability for a capital lease would be reduced periodically by the
*Minimum lease payment less the portion of the minimum lease payment allocable to interest*. (Each lease payment includes interest based on the lease liability at the beginning of the period. The amount of each payment exceeding the interest component is the amount of principal reduction. This amount reduces the lease liability used to compute the interest portion of the next payment. Thus, the interest component decreases with each payment as more principal is paid off.)
How are spot and forward rates used in accounting for a forward contract hedging instrument?
*The forward rate is used as the basis for determining the change in value of a forward contract.* As the forward rate changes, so also will the carrying value of the forward contract, resulting in exchange gains and losses. *The spot rate is used to determine the premium or discount on the forward contract. *
On May 15, 2003, Munn, Inc. approved a plan to dispose of a segment of its business. It is expected that the sale will occur on February 1, 2004, at a selling price of $500,000. The segment reported $195,000 in operating losses for 2003. The segment is expected to lose $30,000 from operations in 2004. The carrying amount of the segment at the date of sale was expected to be $850,000. Before income taxes, what amount should Munn report as a loss from discontinued operations in its 2003 income statement?
*There are two components for discontinued operations: (1) the operating income or loss for the period in which the decision is made to dispose, and (2) the disposal loss.* Only actual operating income (or loss) is recognized, but estimated as well as actual disposal losses are recognized. The $350,000 estimated disposal loss is the difference between the $850,000 carrying value of the segment, and its $500,000 estimated selling price. The operating loss for the period ($195,000) plus the estimated disposal loss ($350,000) equals the $545,000 total loss to be recognized for discontinued operations for 2003.

A firm has basic earnings per share of $1.29. If the tax rate is 30%, which of the following securities would be dilutive? A. Cumulative 8%, $50 par preferred stock. B. Ten percent convertible bonds, issued at par, with each $1,000 bond convertible into 20 shares of common stock. C. Seven percent convertible bonds, issued at par, with each $1,000 bond convertible into 40 shares of common stock. D. Six percent, $100 par cumulative convertible preferred stock, issued at par, with each preferred share convertible into four shares of common stock.
A is is not dilutive because it does not have a conversion option. B is not dilutive, The numerator effect is $70 saving in interest ($1,000 x .10 x (1-.3)), and the denominator effect is 20 more shares outstanding. 70 / 20 = $3.50, which is greater than the BEPS of $1.29. *C is dilutive, The numerator effect is $49 saving in interest ($1,000 x .07 x (1-.3)), and the denominator effect is 40 more shares outstanding. 49 / 40 = $1.225, which is less than the BEPS of $1.29.* D is not dilutive, The numerator effect is $6 saving in preferred dividends ($100 x .06), and the denominator effect is 4 more shares outstanding. 6 / 4 = $1.50, which is greater than the BEPS of $1.29

On February 1, Rayco transferred a bond it owned with a maturity value of $50,000 to Dayco as security for a short-term loan from Dayco. By terms of the agreement, Dayco cannot resell or otherwise use the bond except as collateral for its loan to Rayco. Rayco defaulted on its repayment of the loan from Dayco on August 1 when the bond had a fair value of $48,000. On what date and in what amount should Dayco recognize the bonds on its books?
August 1, by $48,000 (FV). Since the transfer of the bond is used only as security for the loan, and not as a sale of the bond, Dayco would not recognize the bond on its books at the time of the transfer. The bond would be recognized on Dayco's books on the date Rayco defaulted and at its fair value at that time.
Dunn Trading Stamp Co. records stamp service revenue and provides for the cost of redemptions in the year stamps are sold to licensees. Dunn's past experience indicates that only 80% of the stamps sold to licensees will be redeemed. Dunn's liability for stamp redemptions was $6,000,000 at December 31, 2005. Additional information for 2006 is as follows: Stamp service revenue from stamps sold to licensees $4,000,000 Cost of redemptions (stamps sold prior to 1/1/06) 2,750,000 If all the stamps sold in 2006 were presented for redemption in 2007, the redemption cost would be $2,250,000. What amount should Dunn report as a liability for stamp redemptions at December 31, 2006?
Beginning liability balance $6,000,000 Plus estimated redemptions for 2006: .80($2,250,000) 1,800,000 Less actual redemptions in 2006 (2,750,000) Equals ending liability balance $5,050,000

On January 1, 20x1 Ritt Corp. purchased 80% of Shaw Corp.'s $10 par common stock for $975,000. Ritt's cost reflects an appropriate fair value measure for all of Shaw's outstanding common stock. The original cost to the noncontrolling investors for the 20% of Shaw's common stock not acquired by Ritt was $200,000. At the date of Ritt's purchase, the carrying amount of Shaw's net assets was $1,000,000. The fair values of Shaw's identifiable assets and liabilities were the same as their carrying amounts except for plant assets (net) which were $100,000 in excess of the carrying amount. Which one of the following is the amount of noncontrolling interest that should be reported in a consolidated balance sheet prepared immediately following the business combination?
Noncontrolling interest at the date of the business combination should be the noncontrolling interest proportionate share of total fair value at that date, including goodwill. The total fair value of Shaw (including goodwill) at the date Ritt acquired 80% of Shaw's common stock would be $1,218,750 ($975,000/.80). The noncontrolling interest would be .20 x $1,218,750 = $243,750, the correct answer. The investment eliminating entry made immediately following the business combination would be: DR: (Various) Identifiable Net Assets $1,100,000 Goodwill 118,750 CR: Investment in Shaw $975,000 Noncontrolling Interest (in Shaw) 243,750

Douglas Co. leased machinery with an economic useful life of 6 years. For tax purposes, the depreciable life is 7 years. The lease is for 5 years, and Douglas can purchase the machinery at fair market value at the end of the lease. What is the depreciable life of the leased machinery for financial reporting?
Since Douglas neither obtains ownership at the end of the lease nor has a bargain purchase option, it must amortize the asset over the life of the lease (5 years)
On January 1, 2005, Blaugh Co. signed a long-term lease for an office building. The terms of the lease required Blaugh to pay $10,000 annually, beginning December 30, 2005 and continuing each year for 30 years. The lease qualifies as a capital lease. On January 1, 2005, the present value of the lease payments is $112,500 at the 8% interest rate implicit in the lease. In Blaugh's December 31, 2005 balance sheet, the capital lease liability should be
The entry at December 31, 2005: Dr Interest expense ($112,500 x .08) 9,000 Dr Lease liability 1,000 Cr Cash 10,000 *The ending lease liability for 2005 is $111,500 ($112,500 - $1,000 from entry)*.
Invern, Inc. has a self-insurance plan. Each year, retained earnings is appropriated for contingencies in an amount equal to insurance premiums saved less recognized losses from lawsuits and other claims. As a result of a 2005 accident, Invern is a defendant in a lawsuit in which it will probably have to pay damages of $190,000. What are the effects of this lawsuit's probable outcome on Invern's 2005 financial statements?
The information about self-insurance (which means no insurance) is irrelevant to the problem except that if the firm loses the lawsuit, there will be no insurance coverage. This is a contingent liability. It is probable, and the amount is estimable. Therefore, expenses (or a loss) and a liability are recognized for $190,000.
Smythe Co. invested $200 in a call option for 100 shares of Gin Co. $.50 par common stock, when the market price was $10 per share. The option expired in three months and had an exercise price of $9 per share. What was the *intrinsic value* of the call option at the time of initial investment?
The intrinsic value of a call option is the difference between the exercise (strike) price and the market price. This call option has an *exercise price of $9 / share and the market price is $10 / share. Therefore, there is a $1 / share intrinsic value* (I can buy the stock at a price less than the market). The option is to purchase 100 shares so the total intrinsic value is $100.
In the Long-Term Liabilities section of its balance sheet at December 31, 2003, Mene Co. reported a capital lease obligation of $75,000, net of current portion of $1,364. Payments of $9,000 were made on both January 2, 2004 and January 2, 2005. Mene's incremental borrowing rate on the date of the lease was 11%, and the lessor's implicit rate, which was known to Mene, was 10%. In its December 31, 2004 balance sheet, what amount should Mene report as capital lease obligation, net of current portion?
The total lease liability after paying the lease payment on 1/2/04 is $75,000 because the current portion of the liability on 12/31/03 was paid on 1/2/04. The lessee uses the lessor's implicit interest rate of 10% because that rate is lower than the lessee's borrowing rate, and the lessee knows the lessor's implicit rate. 12/31/04 to recognize interest expense *Interest expense .10($75,000) 7,500* *Lease liability 7,500* The total lease liability at 12/31/04 is $82,500 ($75,000 + $7,500). But on 1/2/05, a $9,000 payment will be made, which will reduce the total lease liability by that amount to $73,500 ($82,500 - $9,000).
Steam Co. acquired equipment under a capital lease for 6 years. Minimum lease payments were $60,000 payable annually at the year's end. The interest rate was 5% with an annuity factor for 6 years of 5.0757. The present value of the payments was equal to the fair market value of the equipment. What amount should Steam report as interest expense at the end of the first year of the lease?
This lease is capitalized because the present value of the lease payments is 90% or more of the fair value of the asset (in this case, 100%). *The capitalized lease liability at inception is $60,000 x 5.0757 = $304,542.* Interest expense at the end of the first year is .*05 x $304,542 = $15,227.* A capitalized lease liability is much like a mortgage note with payments including both principal and interest. The principal portion of the first payment is $60,000 - $15,227, or $44,773.
Glade Co. leases computer equipment to customers under direct-financing leases. The equipment has no residual value at the end of the lease, and the leases do not contain bargain purchase options. Glade wishes to earn 8% interest on a 5-year lease of equipment with a fair value of $323,400. The present value of an annuity due of $1 at 8% for 5 years is 4.312. What is the total amount of interest revenue that Glade will earn over the life of the lease?
Total interest over the term equals the difference between total lease payments and the fair value of the property at inception. *The lease payment is $75,000 ($323,400/4.312).* Thus, *total interest is 5($75,000) - $323,400 = $51,600.*
