Notes for Discussion With Elicia:
krte krte krte krte




There is a conflict of interest between the objectives of Elicia and Dabika due to
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



the buyout clause in the shareholder agreement. Elicia will have a motivation to
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



decrease shareholders‘ equity since this will reduce the amount that she will be
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



required to pay to buy out Dabika. Dabika will be interested in increasing
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



shareholders‘ equity to increase the amount she will receive. It must be clarified
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



who I am working for since I may have a conflict of interest since I know both
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



parties.
krte




It is important that all accounting policies are ‗fair‘ to both sides.
k r t e k r t e k r t e k r t e k r t e k r t e k r t e k r t e k r t e k r t e k r t e k r t e What k r t e i
considered
k r t e



‗fair‘? From Dabika‘s perspective, fair could be accounting policies consistent with
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



prior years. From Elicia‘s perspective, fair could be if the economic events change
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



the accounting policy would change. Fair could be both sides split the difference
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



where Dabika and Elicia disagree on value. In the future it is important that the
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



shareholders agreement is more specific.
krte krte krte krte krte




Due to the choices allowed within GAAP a policy could be selected that would be
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



more beneficial to one of the parties. It is assumed since this is a small private
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



company that they are using ASPE. There is no indication that neither Elicia or
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



Dabika would be using IFRS nor that the bank requires it.
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte




Inventory
Elicia wants to write off the inventory value for the garden gnomes and statues and
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



this will decrease the amount of the payment to Dabika. According to ASPE,
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



inventory would be valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Even
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



though this inventory has been sitting in the gardening centre there is still a few
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



being sold each year. This indicates there is still some value associated with the
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



inventory and therefore it should not be written down to zero. It should be
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



determined what the net realizable value of this inventory is to determine the
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



amount of the write off. If it is all written off and then sold at a later date this
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



would not be fair to Dabika since Elicia would get the benefit of a reduced
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



shareholders‘ equity and thus a lower payment required to Dabika. The purchase
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



of this inventory would have been a decision made by both Dabika and Elicia so
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



if the inventory is unsellable they should both bear the impact of this decision.
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte




Warranty
According to ASPE the accounting policy is appropriate and a warranty expense
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



should be included for the guarantee. The impact is that this would decrease
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



shareholders‘ equity and the amount of the payment to Dabika. This is a new
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



policy that did not exist until this year. The estimate of 5% was only based on
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



sales from the fall. Since it is a new policy that was made by Elicia on her own
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte




krte krte krte krte krte



krte krte krte krte krte krte krte

, it may be appropriate that the impact of this is excluded from the calculation of
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



shareholders‘ equity. At a minimum the estimate should
krte krte k rte krte k rt e krte krte krte




krte krte krte krte krte


krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte

, be reviewed to determine if it is reasonable. Furthermore, the estimate, if included
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



in the shareholders‘ equity calculation, should be agreed upon by both Elicia and
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



Dabika.

Computer Equipment krte



ASPE is flexible in the method used to depreciate assets. The declining balance
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



method using 40% would write off the value of the computers in approximately
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



two years. This is very fast especially for a small company that is likely to use a
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



computer for a longer period of time due to limited resources as compared to a
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



larger company. Just because the computer may become obsolete quickly does not
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



mean the business will not continue to derive benefit from the continued use of
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



the computer. The impact of higher depreciation is a reduction in the payment to
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



Dabika. If we look at consistency with other assets it would be appropriate to use
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



the straight line method. We should inquire with Elicia as to her rationale for
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



choosing declining balance instead of the straight-line depreciatoin method used for
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



all other assets and determine the declining method reflects the actual usage of the
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



asset (i.e. more of the asset used earlier on). Since again since this was a decision
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



made only be Elicia maybe it should be excluded from the calculation or maybe
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



the policy should be consistent with their other assets but further information is
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



required.

Case 1-2 (LO1.2, LO1.3, LO1.4, LO1.5)
krte krte krte krte krte




Dear Richard Wright: krte krte




I am happy to respond to your questions regarding the accounting changes that the
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



new banker has requested. It is important that you realize that the needs of the
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



banker are different than your needs. The bank is interested in your ability to
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



make loan payments; therefore, the banker wants to assess future cash flows,
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



collateral and your ability to pay back the loan.
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte




First, there is the issue of moving to the accrual basis. While it‘s true that,
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



ultimately, what you earn is the net cash in your pocket, the cash basis of
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



accounting doesn‘t wholly capture all of the cash flows that will happen in the
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



future. Your banker wants to know what liabilities you‘ll have to pay in the
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



coming months (and years), and what amounts you currently are owed that will be
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



collected in the future weeks or months. The accrual method really gives a clear
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



picture of future ―cash flow‖.
krte krte krte krte krte




It‘s for much the same reason that he wishes you to show your cattle at market
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



value. I‘m sure he recognizes that both your dairy cattle and your breeders are
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



intended for
krte continued use and are not for sale in the normal course of
krte k r t e krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



business.As saleable stock, the cattle represent a potential cash resource in the
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



event of bankruptcy or default. After all, you probably use the cattle as collateral
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



for loans, and he needs to know the value of that collateral.
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte




You should not try to estimate the value of your stock by yourself. For credibility,
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte



you should obtain an independent estimate. The valuation will require a
krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte krte
