- Asset's Cost: 21,000 - Accumulated Depreciation (SYD): (6,909) - Undepreciated Cost, 01/01/2021: (21,000 - 6,909) = 14,091 - Estimated Residual Value to be depreciated over remaining 8 years: (1,000) - Annual straight-line depreciation 2021-2028: ((14,091 - 1,000) / 8) = $1,636 (Note) A disclosure note should justify that the change is preferable and describe the effect of a change on any financial statement line items and per share amounts affected for all periods reported ANSWER: Debit Depreciation Expense: 1,636 Credit Accumulated Depreciation: 1,636

Prepare the journal entry that Faulkner will record in 2021 related to the change

- Event: An Error - Type of Change: Not Applicable (NA) Journal Entry: 1 - Debit Prepaid Insurance: ((35,000 / 5) x 3) = 21,000 - Credit Retained Earnings: (35,000 - ((35,000 / 5) x 2)) = 21,000 Journal Entry: 2 - Debit Insurance Expense: (35,000 / 5) = 7,000 - Credit Prepaid Insurance: 7,000

Problem A: A five-year casualty insurance policy was purchased at the beginning of 2019 for $35,000. The full amount was debited to insurance expense at the time - State whether it represents and accounting change or an error - If an accounting change, what type of change - Journal Entry if needed

- Event: An Accounting Change - Type of Change: Change in Estimate Journal Entry: 1 - No Entry Required Journal Entry: 2 - Debit Depreciation Expense: ((600,000 - (12,500 x 10) - 25,000)) / 30) = 15,000 - Credit Accumulated Depreciation: 15,000

Problem B: Effective January 1, 2021, the company changed the salvage value used in calculating depreciation for its office building. The building cost $600,000 on December 29, 2010, and has been depreciated on a straight-line basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $100,000. Declining real estate values in the area indicate that the salvage value will be no more than $25,000 - State whether it represents and accounting change or an error - If an accounting change, what type of change - Journal Entry if needed

- Event: An Error - Type of Change: NA Journal Entry: 1 - Debit Retained Earnings: 25,000 - Credit Inventory: 25,000 Journal Entry: 2 - No Entry Required

Problem C: On December 31, 2020, merchandise inventory was overstated by $25,000 due to a mistake in the physical inventory count using the periodic inventory system - State whether it represents and accounting change or an error - If an accounting change, what type of change - Journal Entry if needed

- Event: An Accounting Change - Type of Change: Change in Accounting Principle Journal Entry: 1 - Debit Inventory: 960,000 - Credit Retained Earnings: 960,000 Journal Entry: 2 - No Entry Required

Problem D: The company changed inventory cost methods to FIFO from LIFO at the end of 2021 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. The change will cause a $960,000 increase in the beginning inventory at January 1, 2022 - State whether it represents and accounting change or an error - If an accounting change, what type of change - Journal Entry if needed

- Event: An Error - Type of Change: NA Journal Entry: 1 - Debit Retained Earnings: 15,500 - Credit Compensations Expense: 15,500 Journal Entry: 2 - No Entry Required

Problem E: At the end of 2020, the company failed to accrue $15,500 of sales commissions earned by employees during 2020. The expense was recorded when the commissions were paid in early 2021 - State whether it represents and accounting change or an error - If an accounting change, what type of change - Journal Entry if needed

- Event: An Accounting Change - Type of Change: Change in estimate resulting from a change in accounting principle Journal Entry: 1 - No Entry Required Journal Entry: 2 - Debit Depreciation Expense: ((460,800 - 0) / 8) = 57,600 - Credit Accumulated Depreciation: 57,600

Problem F: At the beginning of 2019, the company purchased a machine at a cost of $720,000. Its useful life was estimated to be 10 years with no salvage value. The machine has been depreciated by the double-declining balance method. Its book value on December 31, 2020, was $460,800. On January 1, 2021, the company changed to the straight-line method - State whether it represents and accounting change or an error - If an accounting change, what type of change - Journal Entry if needed

Problem G: Warranty expense is determined each year as 1% of sales. Actual payment experience of recent years indicates that 0.75% is a better indication of the actual cost. Management effects the change in 2021. Credit sales for 2021 are $4,000,000; in 2020 they were $3,700,000 - State whether it represents and accounting change or an error - If an accounting change, what type of change - Journal Entry if needed

The present value of the expected future retirement benefits to be paid based on future (projected) salary levels prior to retirement

Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO)

Is simply applied to the current and future periods, and prior-period comparative statements are not restated

Prospective Approach

The prospective method may be used

Prospective Approach: If it is impracticable to use the retrospective method

Reduced by the number of shares repurchased, weighted for the fraction of the year these shares were not outstanding

Reacquired Shares: If shares are reacquired during the year, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is

Used to determine the fair value of the options

Recognizing the Fair Value Options: Option Pricing Model

Over the service/vesting period - Usually the vesting period is several years - The employees must stay with the company for that period to keep their options - As the amount is expensed over the vesting period (Note) - The amount is added to Paid-in Capital-Stock Options

Recognizing the Fair Value Options: The total value of the options is expensed

Grant Date

Recognizing the Fair Value Options: We measure fair value of the options at the

Compensation expense over the service period for which the options are granted

Recognizing the Fair Value Options: We record the fair value of the options as

How well the fund has grown over time

Relating to Defined Contribution Plan: Employee will get retirement income based on

The employer bears no risk once the contributions are made

Relating to Defined Contribution Plan: The employee bears the risk of the investment returns, meaning

Invested (usually with input from the employee choosing among designated funds based on their risk preferences)

Relating to Defined Contribution Plan: The funds are

- The employer has an obligation that is not paid until retirement - The obligation is increased each year for the interest which accrues on the existing obligation

Relation to PBO: Interest Cost

- This is the increase in the PBO due to the employees having worked one more year (more retirement benefits)

Relation to PBO: Service Cost

Increases the amounts owed in the future

Relation to PBO: Service Cost increases the PBO, as it

Service Period

Relation to PBO: Service Cost is an amount calculated for each separate year of the

Having worked during that one year

Relation to PBO: Service Cost is the present value (at year-end) of the retirement benefits earned by the employees for

This means we report all prior period financial statements (at least those which will be presented as comparative statements) as if the new method had been used in those prior periods

Retrospective Approach: What do we mean when we say that most voluntary changes in accounting principle are treated retrospectively?

It is treated as having been made as of the beginning of that year

Retrospective Approach: What happens when a change in principle is made any time during a fiscal year?

Appropriate balances, including retained earnings, will be adjusted as if the new method had been used in those prior years

Revise Comparative Financial Statements: What happens to the balance sheet when a new method has been implemented?

Appropriate amounts will be adjusted as if the new method had been used in those prior years

Revise Comparative Financial Statements: What happens to the income statement when a new method has been implemented?

The beginning retained earnings balance for the earliest period presented in the comparative statements must be adjusted for the cumulative effect of the change prior to that date

Revise Comparative Financial Statements: What happens to the statement of shareholder's equity when a new method has been implemented?

- Forms of payment whose value is dependent on the value of the company's stock

Share-Based Compensation

- BEPS: ((110,000 - 10,000) / 10,000) = $10.00 per share

Step 1: BEPS/DEPS Example: Calculate the DEPS (Assume Exercise/Conversion for Dilutive Items)

(Note: Options are dilutive compared to BEPS, so their exercise will be assumed) - DEPS1: ((100,000 + 0) / (10,000 + 500)) = $9.52 per share

Step 2: BEPS/DEPS Example: Calculate the DEPS (Assume Exercise/Conversion for Dilutive Items)

(Note: Bonds are dilutive compared to DEPS1, so their conversion will be assumed) - DEPS2: ((100,000 + 0 + 3,500) / 10,000 + 500 + 2,500) = $7.96 per share

Step 3: BEPS/DEPS Example: Calculate the DEPS (Assume Exercise/Conversion for Dilutive Items)

(Note: The preferred stock is still dilutive compared to DEPS2) - DEPS3: ((100,000 + 0 + 3,500 + 10,000) / (10,000 + 500 + 2,500 + 5,000)) = $6.31 (Note: $6.31 is the final DEPS because no other potential common shares exist)

Step 4: BEPS/DEPS Example: Calculate the DEPS (Assume Exercise/Conversion for Dilutive Items)

Divide the total value of the company into more pieces

Stock Dividends and Stock Splits

The value of the options also increases

Stock Option Plans: As the value of the stock increases

- A specified number of shares of the firm's stock - At a specified price - During a specified period of time

Stock Option Plans: Employees are given the option to buy

Since the exercise price is less than average market price, the options are not antidilutive and therefore assumed exercised when calculating diluted EPS

Stock options exercisable at $30 per share after January 1, 2023

Applies the new principle only to the adoption period (not to prior periods for comparative statements) and adjusts the beginning retained earnings for the current period

The Modified Retrospective Method

- Service Cost - Interest Cost - Prior Service Cost - Gain or Loss on PBO - Payment of Retirement Benefits

The PBO balance will change over time for five different reasons

- Any employer contributions/funding - The return on plan assets (Note) - We use the expected return rather than the actual return in this calculation

The Pension Plan Assets increase by what?

Funded Status

The balance in the Pension-Related Asset/Liability account will always equal the

The change in the funded status for the year

The debit or credit to the Pension-Related Asset/Liability account for the year will always equal

They will work hard to drive up the value of the shares, thus making their compensation worth more

The idea behind Share-Based Compensation is that if executives (and perhaps other employees) are compensated with share-based awards,

Beginning retained earnings for the year following the error, or for the earliest year being reported in the comparative financial statements if the error occurred before then

The prior period adjustment is applied to

A mandated change in accounting principle requires it

The prospective method is applied if

Government regulations and accounting standards make them costly and complicated to administer

Three reasons why almost all new pension plans are moving away from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans (1)

Employer's increasing desire to avoid the risk of these plans (including increasing lifespan of retired employees)

Three reasons why almost all new pension plans are moving away from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans (2)

A shift from employee/employer long-term loyalty

Three reasons why almost all new pension plans are moving away from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans (3)

- The options, warrants, or rights were exercised and additional shares of the stock were issued

Treasury Stock Method assumes what? (1)

- The assumed money from the assumed exercise is used to buy back treasury shares at the average market price for the year

Treasury Stock Method assumes what? (2)

- The difference between the number of shares assumed issued minus the number of treasury shares assumed repurchased is added to the denominator in calculating diluted EPS (Note) - The assumed exercise happens at the beginning of the year or when the option, warrant, or right was issued, whichever comes later

Treasury Stock Method assumes what? (3)

Journal Entry: 1 - Debit Cash: 17,000 - Credit Office Supplies: 17,000 Journal Entry: 2 - Debit Tools: 17,000 - Credit Cash: 17,000

Two weeks prior to the audit, the company paid $17,000 for assembly tools and recorded the expenditure as office supplies. The error was discovered a week later

Journal Entry: 1 - Debit Retained Earnings: ((12 x 2,000) - 2,000) = 22,000 - Credit Paid-in Capital-Excess of Par: 22,000 Journal Entry: 2 - No Entry Required

Two years earlier, the company recorded a 4% stock dividend (2,000 common shares, $1 par) as follows: - Debit Retained Earnings: 2,000 - Credit Common Stock: 2,000 The shares had a market price at the time of $12 per share

Beginning of the year or when the convertible security was issued, whichever is later

Under the if-converted method, convertible securities are assumed converted at the

- Pension Related Asset/Liability Account for Year 4: (104 + 236 + 383 + 546) = $1,269 Funded Status Year 4 End: (546 + 723) = $1,269

Using the journal entries prepared in #7, calculate the balance in the Pension-Related Asset/Liability account at the end of year 4 and verify that it equals the funded status at the end of year 4 (calculated in #8above). [Note: Although this is true for this problem, it won't necessarily be true in general if the other potential components of pension expense, which we are not discussing, are included.]

- PBO at Year 4 End: (6,580 + (3,290 x 1.06) + (6,580 x 6%)) = $10,462 "Don't match" - PBO at age 38: $14,787 "Don't match" o N = 20 o I = 6% o PMT = (1.5% x (38 - 34) x 87,000) = -5,220 o PV = 59,873 § N = 24 § I = 6% § FV = -59,873 § PV = 14,787

Verify that the PBO at the end of year 4 (from #5 above) equals the PBO at the end of year 4 (from #3 in the in-class portion of this problem) within rounding error.

- Change in Funded Status from Year 3 End and Year 4 End: (1,269 - 723) = $546 - Net of Year 4 Pension Expense & Cash Contributions: (3,546 - 3,000) = $546

Verify that the change in the funded status from the end of year 3 to the end of year 4 equals the net of the year 4 pension expense and the year 4 cash contributions (from the year 4 journal entry in #7)

Since the exercise price is higher than the average market price, the warrants are antidilutive and therefore ignored when calculating diluted EPS

Warrants for 1,000 common shares with an exercise price of $35 per share

Treasury Stock Method (Note) - This will occur only when the average market price of the stock for the year exceeds the exercise price of the option, warrant, or right

When a new accounting standard mandates a change in accounting principle

There wouldn't be any justification to do so

Why would we not expect companies to switch back and forth accounting changes?

It would reduce comparability

Why would we not expect to see a lot of accounting changes?
