The bank loan has a minimum current ratio so you will need to be careful and watch for any impacts on the ratio. You have had a tough year this year and faced a loss so the bank financing is critical to your operations. Issues 1. Revenue recognition memberships 2. Revenue recognition guests 3. Special promotions 4. Coupons 5. Manufacturer Loan 6. Lawsuit 7. Warranty 8. Gasoline storage tanks 9. Foreign currency payables 10. Compensated absences th edition 14-3 Analysis and Recommendations 1. Revenue recognition memberships Following the 5 step IFRS model: Initiation fee Step 1: The contract with the customer is for the membership in the club. This would be a written agreement between the member and WFI. Step 2: There is one performance obligation, the promised service is membership in the ski club. There is no transfer of the service until the membership is provided. Step 3: The contract price is $10,000. The non-refundable deposit is an advance payment towards this initiation fee and is part of the overall transaction price. Step 4: No allocation since there is only one performance obligation. Step 5: The performance obligation for the initiation fee is satisfied over the period of time that the member belongs to the club. The $10,000 would be recognized over the average period a member belongs. There should be enough historical data available to come up with a reasonable estimate. There would be no cash collection risk since the amount is paid upfront. Annual fee Step 1: The annual fee is a written agreement between the member and WFI. Step 2: There is again one performance obligation, the service for this year. Step 3: The fee of $2,000 is the total contract price and is received in 20X5 for the 20X6 ski season. This would be unearned revenue when received. Step 4: There is no allocation since there is only one performance obligation. Step 5: Assuming the ski season goes from Dec 1 until March 31 $500 would be recognized in 20X5 and the remainder in 20X6 which would be the period in which the service is performed. There would be no cash collection risk since the amount is paid upfront. 2. Revenue recognition guests Following the 5 step IFRS model: Step 1: The contract with the guest is the written contract when they receive the ticket to ski, not when the reservation is made since this reservation could be cancelled. th 14-4 Step 2: The performance obligation is the right to ski that day. Step 3: The overall contract price is the price of the ski ticket. Step 4: There is no allocation since there is only one performance obligation. Step 5: The performance would be the right to ski on that day. There is no cash collection risk since the guest pays by credit card when they purchase the ticket. 3. Special promotions Following the 5 step IFRS model: Step 1: The contract with the customer is the written contract when they receive the ticket and the right to a future lesson. Step 2: There are two separate performance obligations the right to ski and the right to the lesson. Step 3: The total contract price is $100. Step 4: This price would need to be allocated to the two separate performance obligations based on their relative fair value. Fair value ski pass 80 = 61.5% x 100 = $61.50 Fair value lesson 50 = 38.5% x 100 = $38.50 Total fair value 130 Step 5: The $61.50 allocated to the performance obligation for the ski pass would be satisfied on the day that they ski. For the $38.50, the performance obligation would be satisfied on the day they take the lesson. There would be no cash collection risk assuming a credit card is used to purchase the special pass. 4. Coupons It must be determined if an economic loss would occur for the coupons. The coupons are for $5 and the price of a ski pass is $80. This is a minor amount compared to the price of the ski pass so WFI would still be selling the ski pass at a profit. Therefore, the coupons should only be recognized as a cost when they are redeemed. 5. Manufacturer Loan The manufacturer of the ski lift has provided a 0% interest loan. This is often referred to as a dealer loan. The loan is either measured in FVTPL or other liabilities. Most liabilities © 2022 McGraw Hill Ltd. All rights reserved. Solutions Manual to accompany Intermediate Accounting, Volume 2, 8th edition 14-5 are measured in other liabilities and since there is no mismatch I recommend this loan be recorded in other liabilities and not to elect FVPL. WFI is required to record the loan at fair value using the market rate of interest which would be their incremental borrowing rate of 8%. Therefore, the loan would be recorded at $2.5 million (2 periods, 8%) = $2,143,350. The loan would then be amortized using the effective interest method and interest expense of $171,468 would be recorded in 20X5. This would not impact the current ratio in 20X5 because the full amount would be presented as long term. 6. Lawsuit It must be determined if the lawsuit is probable and if the amount can be measured. The Board has decided to settle the lawsuit therefore it is probable there will be a payment. The amount will be based on management‘s best estimate. Since there is a range, this would be the midpoint of the range or $250,000 should be accrued as a provision, assuming each point is equally likely. In addition, there would be note disclosure on the details of the lawsuit. This liability would be current if the payment is expected to be made next year, which would have a negative impact on the current ratio. 7. Warranty The warranty is not a separate performance obligation – it is an assurance warranty (also known as a standard warranty). In the period in which the skis are sold, a warranty provision should be set up for the estimated costs to be incurred to service the skis as long as the warranty costs are considered probable. If historically costs are low, the provision may be small. The provision is set up with a debit to warranty expense and credit to the provision for warranty. Subsequently, when costs are incurred, the warranty provision is debited, and cash, parts or other materials is credited. Since the warranty provides a lifetime guarantee, at least a portion would likely be a noncurrent liability. The portion that is expected to relate to the following year, would be reported as a current liability at the reporting date. Any current portion would affect the current ratio negatively. 8. Gasoline storage tanks The gasoline storage tanks would be set up as an item of property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the 15 years. The costs to remove the tanks would be a legal obligation and would need to be set up as a decommissioning provision. The provision would be set up at the present value of the $2.5 million. The PV would be $2.5 million (15 periods, 8%) = $788,100. This amount would be debited to the gasoline storage tanks and credited to the provision. Since the life of the storage tanks and the decommission © 2022 McGraw Hill Ltd. All rights reserved. Solutions Manual to accompany Intermediate Accounting, Volume 2, 8th edition 14-6 provision are the same, the $10,788,100 (the $788,100 is added to the $10M) would be depreciated over the 15 years which would be $719,207 of depreciation expense in 20X5. Interest expense of $63,048 ($788,100 * 8%) would also be recognized in 20X5 which would increase the decommissioning provision. The asset would be a long term asset and the decommissioning provisions would be a long term liability so this would not impact the current ratio. 9. Foreign currency payables The following entries are required for the foreign currency inventory purchase: Inventory (150,000 x $1.11)…………………………………………… 166,500 Accounts payable………………………………………………………… 166,500 Accounts payable……………………………………………………….. 166,500 Foreign exchange loss…………………………………………………… 12,000 Cash (150,000 x 1.19)…………………………………………………… 178,500 The payable has been settled by year-end, therefore there is no impact on the current ratio. 10. Compensated absences WFI must record a provision for compensated absences at the December 31, 20X5 yearend through an adjusting entry. The calculation is as follows: 7 employees x $22 x 7.5 hours x 11 days = $12,705 14 employees x $22 x 7.5 hours x 9 days = $20,790 Total: $33,495 Salary expense……………………………………………….. 33,495 Provision for compensated absences………………………… 33,495 Since the carried forward vacation must be used the following year, the provision for compensated absences is a current liability. Recording the provision therefore negatively impacts the current ratio. © 2022 McGraw Hill Ltd. All rights reserved. Solutions Manual to accompany Intermediate Accounting, Volume 2, 8th edition 14-7 Case 12-2 (LO12.2, LO12.5) Prescriptions Depot Limited Overview Prescriptions Depot Limited (PDL) is a large private company with revenues of $5.4 billion and earnings of $295 million. The company complies with IFRS, and is contemplating a public offering in the medium term. GAAP compliance is therefore important. Reporting objectives are to report growth in sales, especially year-over-year same-store sales growth, and stable earnings. Because of possible analyst interest, sales measurement is of critical importance. Ethical reporting choices are critical, given the possibility for increased scrutiny in the future; sudden changes in accounting policy at a later date may not be viewed with favor by analysts. Reporting objectives are meant to support a public offering. Issues 1. Loyalty points program 2. Decommissioning obligations 3. Cash refund program 4. Coupon program Analysis and recommendations 1. Loyalty points program PDL operates a loyalty points program, which will impact on the measurement of sales revenue, a measure important for analysts. Currently, a sales transaction with point value attached is recognized as a sale entirely in the current period. An expense and liability for the cost – not sales value – of goods to be redeemed in the future is recognized in the same time period as the sale. This policy maximizes the sales value recorded with the initial transaction. It does not reflect the substance of the transaction, though, which is that PDL has rendered multiple deliverables in sale: both the initial sale, and the subsequent sale based on points value are being sold. Accordingly, PDL must consider an alternate approach to its loyalty point program: 1. The sale in the store is a contract with the customer but there are two separate performance obligations. There is the sale of the goods now and the future redemption of points. This loyalty program provides the customer with a material right. On a sale that involves issuance of points, the consideration received must be allocated between the sale of the product and the points on a © 2022 McGraw Hill Ltd. All rights reserved. Solutions Manual to accompany Intermediate Accounting, Volume 2, 8th edition 14-8 relative stand alone basis. The value of points to be redeemed in the future is recorded as unearned revenue. 2. As is now the case, careful measurement of the amount - unearned revenue, now - includes analysis of redemption, bonus offers, breakage, expiry, and the like. 3. When points are redeemed, the sales value of the redemption transaction is recorded as sales revenue and cost of goods sold reflects the merchandise purchased. This approach defers sales revenue and gross profit to later periods. As a result, current earnings (and sales) are lower, but future periods show higher sales and earnings. Trends may be affected. Analysts will react better to accurate information, and there is time for this to be assessed since plans to offer shares to the public are described as ―medium term‖. 2. Decommissioning obligation PDL has an obligation to remove its customized, specialized pharmacy installations in leased premises. This is a future obligation based on a past action, and represents a provision in the financial statements. It is not currently recorded. This is essentially a decommissioning obligation, and standards require recognition. Accordingly, PDL must estimate the cost to restore premises, removing the custom set-up. PDL must also estimate when restoration is likely to happen; lease renewal must be assessed. Finally, a borrowing rate for the appropriate term and amount must be estimated, and a discounted liability calculated. The discounted liability is recognized as an asset and a liability. The asset is depreciated over the life of the leased premises. Interest is accrued annually on the liability. These two charges will decrease earnings, but represent appropriate accounting measurement. Note also that estimates must be revised, and any changes in estimate are reflected in a revised present value and asset balance. 3. Cash refund program The cash refund program is now accounted for when the refund takes place, recording a reduction to cash and a reduction to sales. Since the promotion involves a cash refund, an obligation exists to pay cash in the future, based on a past transaction. EMAIL ME: For help with report, Assignment, Essay and thesis writing. © 2022 McGraw Hill Ltd. All rights reserved. Solutions Manual to accompany Intermediate Accounting, Volume 2, 8th edition 14-9 If there was a refund period open over the end of a reporting period, this accounting policy would not capture the obligation to provide refunds. That is, if the six-week documentation window were open, after a given promotion, there would be refunds to be made based on recorded sales of the period. This obligation to provide refunds would not be reflected in the financial statements. Therefore, PDL must estimate the extent of cash refunds waiting to be filled and record them as a liability when the promotion weekend ends. Estimates can be based on past practice. The amount refunded to customers should be reported as a sales discount (a contrasales account), not as a direct decrease to sales. It should also not be recorded as a promotion expense, as it is a reduction in sales value. Recording the amounts as a sales discount is preferable to directly reducing sales, because it may help preserve information about the extent of program use for internal tracking. Analyses of sales trends may focus on net sales, so this accounting treatment may not improve sales trends, a corporate reporting objective. The policy will record refunds earlier, and may decrease earnings in the short term. Over time, there will be no cumulative difference to earnings. 4. Coupon program The coupon program is now accounted for by recording sales at the amount of cash received from customers. PDL then reduces inventory – and thus cost of goods sold - for manufacturer rebates given for coupons redeemed. (i.e., debit accounts payable, and credit inventory which becomes cost of goods sold). This has the correct impact on gross profit (give or take some timing issues of inventory sale), but understates sales. Since PDL is increasingly concerned with correct measurement of sales, the accounting policy for coupons must be revisited. The correct treatment: 1. Sales is measured at the retail price, regardless of whether the value is received from customers ($20,000, in the case example) or from the manufacturer in the form of coupons ($5,000). The coupons are in essence an account receivable, used to reduce an account payable. 2. Merchandise is recorded at the invoice cost ($98,000) not the amount of cash paid ($93,000). Using the existing accounting policy, sales are recorded at $20,000, and cost of goods sold (for many products, one assumes) at $93,000. With the revised system, sales are $25,000 and cost of goods sold is $98,000. © 2022 McGraw Hill Ltd. All rights reserved. Solutions Manual to accompany Intermediate Accounting, Volume 2, 8th edition 14-10 There is no overall change to earnings, but sales are more accurately stated, which is preferable for PDL. Conclusion Any company with an eye on public markets must carefully assess its reporting practices and ensure appropriate accounting is followed. PDL has several policies, for loyalty points, cash refunds and coupon transactions that impact on reporting of sales and timing of earnings. In addition, they have unrecorded decommissioning obligations. Appropriate accounting demonstrates the ethical commitment of management. Case 12-3 (LO12.5, LO12.10) Camani Corporation Overview Camani Corporation has been negatively affected by economic conditions, and the 20X3 financial results are under particular scrutiny to determine the viability of the existing strategic model. The executive team will receive a ―return to profitability‖ bonus if 20X3 earnings are positive. Under these circumstances, there is obvious pressure to select reporting policies and estimates to support higher earnings. There are significant ethical pressures on all stakeholders in the company, but especially management. Issues 1. Calculate cash from operating activities, based on current draft financial statements. 2. Analyse reporting implications of identified estimated financial statements elements: legal issues, depreciation policy, technology contract, inventory valuation, restructuring and environmental liability. 3. Re-calculate cash from operating activities, based on revised financial statements Analysis and conclusions 1. Cash flow from operating activities, existing draft financial statements Based on the information provided in the question, a statement of cash flows may be prepared to determine cash flow from operations (Refer to Exhibit I in the solution). Exhibit 1 shows that cash flow from operating activities is a negative, at ($1,721). Earnings of $1,535 reflect cash flows of ($800), and dividends on common shares are another ($921). The negative operating cash flows are caused by large build-ups in account receivable and inventory. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities works to mitigate this, but is not as large as the inventory build-up. © 2022 McGraw Hill Ltd. All rights reserved. Solutions Manual to accompany Intermediate Accounting, Volume 2, 8th edition 14-11 This is contrary to a return to profitability implied by positive earnings, and calls into question the declaration of common dividends. 2. Analysis of accounting policies and estimates a. Legal issues The accrual has been made based on one set of expected values, resulting in the accrual of $830. If a different, less optimistic set of probabilities is used, the accrual is $1,110: Total payment (in 000‘s) Alternate probability Expected value (000‘s) $ 100 0% 0 500 20 $ 100 1, 2, $ 1,110 This is an additional liability and expense of $280 ($1,110 calculation per above less $830 current accrual; Refer to Exhibit 2). b. Depreciation policy Retaining prior years‘ estimates for depreciation amounts would result in $200 additional depreciation. (Depreciation was recorded for $3,900 but if prior year estimates and amounts had been used, depreciation would be $4,100, an additional $200. Refer to Exhibit 2). c. Technology services CC had recorded $1,200 as an estimate for technology services rendered; if the $4,000 contract is considered 45% complete (rather than 30%), another $600 (15%) must be recorded. This is a liability and presumably an expense. ($4,000 * 30% = $1,200 versus $4,000 * 45% = $1,800, a difference of $600. Refer to Exhibit 2). d. Inventory valuation Retaining prior years‘ estimates for inventory valuation would result in $775 additional write-down ($3,125 - $2,350.) Note that inventory levels are higher in 20X3, which is not consistent with less need for a valuation adjustment. Much might © 2022 McGraw Hill Ltd. All rights reserved. Solutions Manual to accompany Intermediate Accounting, Volume 2, 8th edition 14-12 depend on the state of the economy, though, and a thorough review of the analysis the CC has prepared. (See Exhibit 2). e. Restructuring No accrual has yet been recorded for a restructuring. The plan has not been announced or approved, and the plan is not formal the plan at this stage. Only a formal plan, once communicated, would meet the requirements of a constructive liability. At this stage, recording is premature, and no accrual has been recorded. f. Environmental liability
