SOLUTION MANUAL FOR oo oo




ADVANCED ACCOUNTING 15TH EDITION BY JOE BEN HOYLE, THOMAS
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




SCHAEFER AND TIMOTHY DOUPNIK
oo oo oo oo




CHAPTER 1-19 oo




CHAPTER 1 oo




THE EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




Chapter Outline oo




I. Four methods are principally used to account for an investment in equity securities
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



along with a fair value option.
oo oo oo oo oo oo




A. Fair value method: applied by an investor when only a small percentage
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



of a company‘s voting stock is held.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




1. The investor recognizes income when the investee declares a dividend.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




2. Portfolios are reported at fair value. If fair values are unavailable, investment
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



is reported at cost.
oo oo oo oo




B. Cost Method: applied to investments without a readily determinable fair value.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



When the fair value of an investment in equity securities is not readily
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



determinable, and the investment provides neither significant influence nor control,
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



the investment may be measured at cost. The investment remains at cost unless
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




1. A demonstrable impairment occurs for the investment, or
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




2. An observable price change occurs for identical or similar investments of the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



same issuer. oo oo




The investor typically recognizes its share of investee dividends declared as
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



dividend income.
oo oo




C. Consolidation: when one firm controls another (e.g., when a parent has a oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



majority interest in the voting stock of a subsidiary or control through variable
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



interests, their financial statements are consolidated and reported for the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



combined entity.
oo oo




D. Equity method: applied when the investor has the ability to exercise
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




1. Ability to significantly influence investee is indicated by several factors
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



including representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



making, etc. oo




2. GAAP guidelines presume the equity method is applicable if 20 to 50 percent of the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo

, outstanding voting stock of the investee is held by the investor. oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




Current financial reporting standards allow firms to elect to use fair value for any new
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



investment in equity shares including those where the equity method would otherwise
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



apply. However, the option, once taken, is irrevocable. The investor recognizes both
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



investee dividends and changes in fair value over time as income.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




II. Accounting for an investment: the equity method
oo oo oo oo oo oo




A. The investor adjusts the investment account to reflect all changes in the equity of
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



the investee company.
oo oo oo




B. The investor accrues investee income when it is reported in the investee‘s
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



financial statements.
oo oo




C. Dividends declared by the investee create a reduction in the carrying amount of
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



the Investment account. This book assumes all investee dividends are declared
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



and paid in the same reporting period.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




III. Special accounting procedures used in the application of the equity method
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



A. Reporting a change to the equity method when the ability to significantly influence
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



an investee is achieved through a series of acquisitions.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



1. Initial purchase(s) will be accounted for by means of the fair value method (or
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



at cost) until the ability to significantly influence is attained.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



2. When the ability to exercise significant influence occurs following a series of
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



stock purchases, the investor applies the equity method prospectively. The
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



total fair value at the date significant influence is attained is compared to the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



investee‘s book value to determine future excess fair value amortizations.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



B. Investee income from other than continuing operations
oo oo oo oo oo oo



1. The investor recognizes its share of investee reported other
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



comprehensive income (OCI) through the investment account and the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



investor‘s own OCI.
oo oo oo



2. Income items such as discontinued operations that are reported separately by
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



the investee should be shown in the same manner by the investor. The
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



materiality of these other investee income elements (as it affects the investor)
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



continues to be a criterion for separate disclosure.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



C. Investee losses oo



1. Losses reported by the investee create corresponding losses for the investor.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



2. A permanent decline in the fair value of an investee‘s stock should be
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



recognized immediately by the investor as an impairment loss.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



3. Investee losses can possibly reduce the carrying value of the investment
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



account to a zero balance. At that point, the equity method ceases to be
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



applicable and the fair-value method is subsequently used.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



D. Reporting the sale of an equity investment oo oo oo oo oo oo



1. The investor applies the equity method until the disposal date to establish a
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



proper book value.
oo oo oo



2. Following the sale, the equity method continues to be appropriate if enough
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



shares are still held to maintain the investor‘s ability to significantly influence
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



the investee. If that ability has been lost, the fair-value method is subsequently
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



used. oo

IV. Excess investment cost over book value acquired
oo oo oo oo oo oo



A. The price an investor pays for equity securities often differs significantly from
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



the investee‘s underlying book value primarily because the historical cost
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



based accounting model does not keep track of changes in a firm‘s fair
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



value. oo



B. Payments made in excess of underlying book value can sometimes be identified oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



with specific investee accounts such as inventory or equipment.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



C. An extra acquisition price can also be assigned to anticipated benefits that are
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



expected to be derived from the investment. In accounting, these amounts are
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



presumed to reflect an intangible asset referred to as goodwill. Goodwill is
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



calculated as any excess payment that is not attributable to specific identifiable
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



assets and liabilities of the investee. Because goodwill is an indefinite-lived
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



asset, it is not amortized.
oo oo oo oo oo




V. Deferral of intra-entity gross profit in inventoryoo oo oo oo oo oo



A. The investor‘s share of intra-entity profits in ending inventory are not recognized
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



until the transferred goods are either consumed or until they are resold to unrelated
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



parties. oo



B. Downstream sales of inventory oo oo oo



1. ―Downstream‖ refers to transfers made by the investor to the investee. oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



2. Intra-entity gross profits from sales are initially deferred under the equity oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



method and then recognized as income at the time of the inventory‘s
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



eventual disposal. oo oo



3. The amount of gross profit to be deferred is the investor‘s ownership
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



percentage multiplied by the markup on the merchandise remaining at the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



end of the year. oo oo oo oo



C. Upstream sales of inventory oo oo oo



1. ―Upstream‖ refers to transfers made by the investee to the investor. oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



2. Under the equity method, the deferral process for intra-entity gross profits is
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



identical for upstream and downstream transfers. The procedures are
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



separately identified in Chapter One because the handling does vary within the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



consolidation process. oo oo




Answers to Discussion Questions oo oo oo




The textbook includes discussion questions to stimulate student thought and discussion.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



These questions are also designed to allow students to consider relevant issues that might
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



otherwise be overlooked. Some of these questions may be addressed by the instructor in
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



class to motivate student discussion. Students should be encouraged to begin by defining the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



issue(s) in each case. Next, authoritative accounting literature (FASB ASC) or other relevant
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



literature can be consulted as a preliminary step in arriving at logical actions. Frequently, the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



FASB Accounting Standards Codification will provide the necessary support.
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo




Unfortunately, in accounting, definitive resolutions to financial reporting questions are not
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



always available. Students often seem to believe that all accounting issues have been
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



resolved in the past so that accounting education is only a matter of learning to apply
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



historically prescribed procedures. However, in actual practice, the only real answer is often
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



the one that provides the fairest representation of the firm‘s transactions. If an authoritative
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



solution is not available, students should be directed to list all of the issues involved and the
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



consequences of possible alternative actions. The various factors presented can be weighed
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo



to produce a viable solution.
oo oo oo oo oo




The discussion questions are designed to help students develop research and critical thinking
