Acquisition - What Costs to Capitalize? General Rule: Capitalize (add to an asset account) the costs to acquire the asset and to prepare it for its intended use. Dr. Asset (purchase price, sales tax, delivery, installation, etc) Cr. Cash, Notes Payable, etc

Land Has indefinite life and therefore is not depreciated Historical Cost includes: Purchase price, Closing costs, Cost to get ready for intended use (i.e., clearing, grading, soil testing, filling), permanent improvements. (Note: Sale of salvaged materials reduces cost) Land Improvements Depreciable since directly associated with building rather than inextricably associated with land. i.e. if building replaced then these improvements would be replaced or their costs would be incurred again. Have definite life and therefore are depreciated Fences, walls, parking lots, driveways Buildings Have definite life and therefore are depreciated Proportionate share of purchase price, or construction cost, Closing Cost, Architect & Attorney fees Machinery, Equipment, Furniture & Fixtures Purchase price (net of cash discounts), Freight & handling, Insurance while in transit, Installation Example: Server farm--invoice cost, transportation, assembly, installation, testing labor, any modifications to building to get into working order.

The company paid $920,000 for the equipment, $62,000 for transportation, and $10,000 for insurance on the equipment while in transit. The company also estimates that over the equipment s useful life it will require additional power, which will cause utility costs to increase $90,000. The equipment has an estimated salvage value of $50,000. a. What amount should the company capitalize for this equipment on 1.1.2014? b. What is the depreciation base of this equipment? c. What amount will be depreciated over the life of this equipment?

Betterments: Increase asset s useful life Improve quality of asset s output Increase quantity of asset s output Reduce asset s operating costs Maintenance maintain existing productivity or useful life Accounting treatment Betterments are capitalized [Capital expenditures] Maintenance expenditures are expensed[revenue expenditures]

What do you know about depreciation?

Depreciation (Cost Allocation) Depreciation is a method of cost allocation. it is used to allocate the capitalized cost of PP&E over the years benefited (matching) Note: depreciation will decrease the carrying value of the asset, but it is not a valuation technique (i.e., book value is not market value)

Depreciation (Cost Allocation) Useful Life Salvage Value Depreciation methods (1) Activity (units-of-production) (2) Straight-line (3) Double-declining balance (4) 150 percent declining balance (5) Sum-of-the-years digits (6) MACRS (income tax depreciation) Under IFRS, depreciation accounting is very similar to US GAAP.

Class Example Given the following information regarding an automobile purchased by the company on January 2, 2008: Cost to acquire = $10,000 Estimated life = 4 years Estimated miles = 100,000 miles Salvage value = $2,000 Calculate depreciation expense for the first two years under each of the following methods.

(1) Units-of-Production (Activity) Assume that the car was driven 20,000 miles in the year 2008, and 30,000 miles in 2009. Annual depreciation = Cost - Salvage Value x Current Activity Total expected activity For 2008= 10,000-2,000 x 20,000 = $1,600 100,000 miles For 2009 = 10,000-2,000 x 30,000 = $2,400 100,000 miles

(2) Straight-Line Annual depreciation = Cost - Salvage Estimated Life = $10,000 - $2,000 = $2,000 per year 4 years

(3) Double-Declining Balance DDB is an accelerated depreciation technique. It generates more expense in the early years and less in the later years. Annual depreciation = % (Cost - A/D) or %(Book Value) where A/D is the accumulated depreciation for all prior years, and the percentage is double the straight line rate, or 2 x 1/Estimate life. In the example, the % = 2 x 1/4 = 2/4 = 50%. Depreciation expense (D.E.)for: 2008 = 50% x (10,000-0) = $5,000 2009 = 50% x(10,000-5,000) = $2,500

MACRS MACRS (modified accelerated cost recovery system) is a technique developed by the IRS for tax reporting. It utilizes combinations of DDB, 150%DB, and SL to calculate a table of percentages that can be applied to any depreciable asset. Additionally, the IRS assumes no salvage value, and a half year in the first and last year of depreciation (some limitations on fourth quarter purchases).

Change in Estimate The change in estimate affects only the current and future years; we do not go back and change the previous years that have already been posted. To calculate the new depreciation expense, first find out how much depreciation has been posted (the Accumulated Depreciation to date). Then use the following formula (to modify the straight-line depreciation rate): Remaining Book Value - New Est. Salvage Remaining Estimated Life

Class Problem: Problem 9-7 Facts: In 2006 equipment costing $180,000, a salvage value of $30,000, and a useful life of 10 years was acquired. In the beginning of 2011 it was determined the equipment s remaining useful life was 3 years. Two steps in solving: (1)Determine Book Value at 1/1/11: First: annual depr. expense = (180,000-30,000)/10 years = 15,000/yr. Then Accumulated Depr. to 1/1/11: 15,000 x 5 yrs = $75,000 So BV = 180,000-75,000 = 105,000

Class Problem: Problem 9-7 (2) Estimate depreciation expense for 2011, assuming revised useful life: BV - SV = 105,000-30,000 = $9,375 per yr. Remaining life 10-5 +3 Journal entry: Depreciation Expense 9,375 Accum. Depreciation 9,375

Your Turn E9-7 Facts: In 2011 equipment costing $60,000, a salvage value of $12,000, and a useful life of 5 years was acquired. In the beginning of 2014, the company added three years to the original useful-life estimate. a. Compute the book value of the machine as of 1.1.14 using the straight line method. b. Prepare the journal entry to record 2014 depreciation expense.

PPE Disposals Depreciate PPE up to date of disposal. Remove PPE and its associated Accumulated depreciation. Record receipt or payment of cash. Recognize any gain or lass on disposal (the difference between to disposed asset s book value and the net value of the assets received). Types: Retirements (i.e., garbage, donation), Sales, Trade-in on Dissimilar assets

Disposal: Retirement, Sale or Trade-In Retirement : Dr. Loss (if not fully depreciated) Dr. Acc Dep Cr. Asset Sale: Dr. Cash Dr. Acc Dep Cr. Asset Dr. Loss if BV > Cash or Cr. Gain if BV < Cash Trade-ins (for dissimilar assets): asset received should be valued at the fair market value of assets given up, or the fair market value of the asset received, whichever is more evident and objectively determined

Sample Disposal Example Using earlier example (cost = $10,000, salvage = $2,000). After 4 years straight-line, $8,000 would be in A/D. 1. Assume the asset is retired (no cash received) Loss on retirement 2,000 Accumulated Depr. 8,000 Automobiles 10,000 2. Assume the asset is sold for $3,000: Cash 3,000 Accumulated Depr. 8,000 Automobiles 10,000 Gain on sale 1,000

Class Exercise: Exercise 9-15 Facts: Cost $25,000; Salvage $5,000, useful life 5 years. DDB used. First calculate depreciation: DDB % = 1/5 x 2 = 2/5 = 40% Depr. Book Date % Cost - A/D Expense Value 1/1/09 25,000 12/31/09 40% (25,000-0) = 10,000 15,000 12/31/10 40% (25,000-10,000) = 6,000 9,000 12/31/11 40% (25,000-16,000) = 3,600 5,400 12/31/12 PLUG 400* 5,000=SV 12/31/13-0- 5,000 *formula will exceed salvage value limit in 2012; just depreciate $400, to salvage of $5,000.

Exercise 9-15, continued (a) JE to scrap after 3 years, at 12/31/11, assumes that no cash is received: (b) JE to scrap after 5 years, assumes that no cash is received:

Exercise 9-15, continued (c) JE to sell for $8,000 after 3 years: (d) JE if, after 5 years, the equipment and $28,000 traded for a dissimilar asset with a fair market value of $30,000:

B. Intangible Assets Intangible assets are characterized by (1) lack of physical evidence, and (2) high uncertainty about future benefits. Cost is amortized over useful life (or legal life, if less), but not to exceed 40 years. Adjusting Journal Entry if definite life: Dr. Amortization expense XX Cr. Intangible asset XX Exception is Goodwill which has an indefinite life, no longer amortized but subject to impairment test. If balance sheet value of asset is determined to exceed its estimated fair market value, it is found to be impaired and written down to its fair value. Under IFRS, revaluing intangibles is an option, but not a requirement. Under US GAAP, revaluation is not an option.

(1) Patents (20 year legal life) A company may capitalize the following the cost of acquiring an externally developed patent. filing fees for internally or externally developed patents. the legal fees for acquiring and successfully defending a patent (internal or external). A company cannot capitalize the following: legal fees for unsuccessfully defending a patent expense instead Most research and development costs for an internally developed patent--expense

Research and Development Costs (for internally developed patents) Prior to 1974, most companies capitalized research and development costs, then amortized the cost to future periods. The FASB stated in SFAS 2 that, because future benefits were uncertain, companies should expense all R&D costs, unless they were related to tangible assets (like buildings and equipment) that had multi-year lives. Companies complied with the standard, but for several years many companies actually reduced their R&D activities, because of concern for excess expense on the income statement.

Other Intangible Assets (2) Copyrights granted for the life of the creator plus 70 years. capitalization rules similar to patents: costs of internally developed copyright material cannot be capitalized. (3) Trademarks and Trade Names granted for 10 year periods, but indefinite renewals. some of design costs may be capitalized. (4) Organization Costs costs related to the creation of a company including underwriting fees, legal and accounting, licenses, titles, etc. treatment similar to R&D costs; even though there may be some future benefit, costs are expensed in the period incurred. (5) Software Development Costs (SFAS 86) Capitalize the costs of developing software for sale or lease. Expense software development costs if for internal use.

Other Intangible Assets - continued (6) Goodwill (also discussed in Chapter 8) Recognized when one company purchases another company. Causes include reputation, good customer relations, superior product development, etc. To calculate: Purchase price paid for the company versus the fair market value of the net assets acquired = Goodwill (the excess amount paid) No longer amortized, instead subjected to an impairment test, i.e.,

P9-13 Goodwill recognition On 1.1.14 D Inc. purchased S Inc for $1.8 million. The total FMV of the individual assets of S Inc is $1.35 million and the liabilities are valued on the balance sheet at FMV. The balance sheet of S Inc at time of purchase: Assets Liab & SHE Current assets $650,000 Liabilities $250,000 Long-lived assets 330,000 SHE 730,000 Total Assets $980,000 Total L&SHE $980,000 a. How can the FMV of assets exceed the value on the BS? b. Why would D Inc pay more for S Inc than the FMV of assets less liabilities? c. Provide journal entry to record the purchase. d. In recent past goodwill was amortized over a period of time not to exceed 40 years. Why not?

IFRS vs. US GAAP: Revaluations to Fair Market Value One very important way in which IFRS differs from US GAAP involves the use of fair market value as a basis for valuation on the balance sheet. Under US GAAP, long-lived assets must be accounted for at original cost less accumulated depreciation. Under IFRS, companies can either follow the US GAAP method or they can periodically revalue their long-lived assets to fair market value. In essence, US GAAP tends to follow a conservative lower-ofcost-or-market valuation principle, whereas IFRS allows managers the option to more closely follow a pure market valuation principle.

Investments

Short-term Equity Investments

Equity Securities Classified as Current Two criteria must be met for an investment in a security to be considered current and thus warrant inclusion as a current asset: 1. The investment must be readily marketable. 2. Management must intend to convert the investment into cash within the time period of current assets (one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer).

Trading and Available-for-Sale Securities Investments in readily marketable equity securities are classified into one of two categories: (1)Trading securities (TS-current asset) or (2) Available-for-sale securities (AFS-current or long-term depending on management s intention).

JEs for Trading and Available-for-Sale Securities Purchasing Trading and Available-for-Sale Securities - Recorded on the balance sheet at cost, including acquisition costs Declaration and Receipt of Dividends recorded as a receivable and revenue Sale of Securities if proceeds exceed balance sheet value, a realized gain is recognized, otherwise a realized loss

E8-1 Accounting for short-term equity securities Monroe Auto Supplies engaged in several transactions involving short-term equity securities during 2011, shown on the following list. The company had never invested in equity securities prior to 2011. All securities are classified as trading securities. 1. Purchased 1,000 shares of IBM for $50/share. 2. Purchased 500 shares of GM for $80/share. 3. Sold 750 shares of IBM for $60/share. 4. Received dividend of $1.50/share from GM. Assume declared in previous period.

Sold the 500 GM shares for $60/share. What effect did these transactions have on the company s 2011 net income?

Permanent Market Value Declines Investments sometimes suffer a permanent market value decline; the price declines and is not expected to recover. In such cases, the security should be written down to its market value, and a realized loss that reduces net income should be recognized immediately whether the security is classified as trading or available-for-sale.

Mark-to-Market Rule: Price Changes of Trading Securities on Hand at Accounting Period end Adjusting journal entries restate the balance sheet values of the securities to reflect their current market values. These adjustments give rise to unrealized gains and losses In the case of trading securities, these gains or losses are considered temporary accounts, appear on the income statement, and are reflected in retained earnings.

Mark-to-Market Rule: Price Changes of AFS on Hand at the End of the Accounting Period In the case of available-for-sale securities, the unrealized price changes are considered permanent accounts and are carried in the shareholders equity section of the balance sheet.

Mark-to-Market Accounting and Comprehensive Income In a move toward pure mark-to-market accounting, the FASB now requires companies to provide a statement of comprehensive income. The statement of comprehensive income must disclose total comprehensive income, which includes all nonowner-related changes in shareholders equity that do not appear on the income statement and are not reflected in the balance of retained earnings. Trying to measure changes in wealth (A=L+SHE) as well as income (R-E)

Long-term Equity Investments

Long-Term Equity Investments

Inter-corporate Equity Investments 3 Categories of Equity Investors: Passive Investors: Less than 20% of the outstanding voting stock. Use Mark-to-Market method if shares are readily marketable. Otherwise, use Cost method. Influential Investors: 20% to 50% of the outstanding voting stock. Use the Equity method. Controlling Investors: More than 50% of the outstanding voting stock. Use the Equity method, along with Consolidation.

Passive(<20%): Mark-to-Market Method & Cost Method Recap 1. Record initial investment at cost. 2. Dividends received are recognized as income on IS. If no dividends are received, then no income is recorded. 3. At the end of each period, the investment is adjusted to market value with the increase or decrease in market value reported as an: Unrealized gain or loss on the IS (and closed to RE) if investments are held in a trading account, i.e. Trading securities are a current asset). Unrealized gain or loss not on IS but in a special SHE account for Unrealized Holding Gains or Losses and reported as part of Comprehensive Income if investments held in an AFS portfolio. 4. If securities are not readily marketable, the Cost Method is used, which includes only Steps 1 &2 above. Under the cost method, investment only written down if there is an other than temporary loss in value, i.e., a permanent write down or the investment is sold.

Influential (20-50%): Equity Method Recap 1. Record investment at original cost. 2. At year-end, the Investor s proportionate share of Investee s net income or loss is recognized by Investor as investment income on IS and offset by an increase or decrease in the equity investment account. [i.e., single line consolidation] 3. Dividends received are recognized as a reduction in the investment account (not as dividend income on IS). 4. The investment is not marked to market; however, the market value is disclosed in the footnotes. 5. If there is goodwill implied by the purchase price, it is not amortized or evaluated for impairment separately from the investment. 6. If more than 20% equity does not result in significant influence, the investment should not be accounted for by the equity method, but by the mark-to-market method, if readily marketable.

The Cost Method- Market value hard to determine

E8-8 Cost Method Mystic Lakes Food Company began investing in equity securities for the first time in 2014. During 2014, the company engaged in the following transactions involving equity securities. Assume that the stock of Thayers International and Bayhe Enterprises is not considered marketable that ownership is less than 20 percent of the equity.

Consolidation Method Controlling investments of more than 50% are accounted for by the Equity method and then the parent and subsidiary financials are consolidated on a spreadsheet at the end of the accounting period. 1. The Investment account balance on the Investor s balance sheet is replaced with the Investor s share of the actual assets and liabilities of the Investee plus any goodwill implied by the Investor s purchase. 2. The assets and liabilities of the investee attributable to the non-controlling shareholders are added to the Investor s balance sheet along with the noncontrolling interest equity in those net assets, based on the fair market value of the non-controlling equity on the acquisition date. Any goodwill implied by such mark to fair value would also be recognized. [Minority Interest liability] 3. The income statement of the investee company is combined with the income statement of the investor. The equity income of the Investee recognized by the Investor is eliminated to avoid double counting this income. The total net income is apportioned between the net income attributable to the controlling shareholders and non-controlling shareholders. [Minority interest income] 4. Goodwill recognized in the consolidated financials is not amortized; however, if goodwill becomes impaired, it is written down. Goodwill must be evaluated each period of possible impairment.

Business Combinations Two Ways to Obtain Control: Asset acquisition-all the company s net assets are acquired directly from the company-the books of acquired company are closed and only one set of books remain. Stock acquisition-a controlling interest in another firm s voting common stock is acquired two sets of books remain and an Investment in Sub account is carried on the acquirer s books.

Stock Acquisition and Consolidated Financial Statements A business acquisition occurs when an investor company acquires a controlling interest (more than 50 percent of the voting stock) in another company. The companies continue as separate legal entities, the investor company is referred to as the parent company, and the investee company is called the subsidiary. A Corp + B Corp = Consolidated A and B A merger, or business combination, occurs when two or more companies combine to form a single legal entity.

Asset Acquisition-Purchase Method All identifiable net assets (assets less liabilities assumed) are recorded at their FMV, both tangible and intangible (assuming a controlling interest is acquired). Goodwill is created when the price paid exceeds the FMV of the net assets acquired. A gain is recorded when the price paid is less than the FMV of the net assets acquired. Direct acquisition costs (costs paid to consultants) and indirect acquisition costs (internal costs) are expensed. A single combined entity exists, no consolidation process is necessary.

Legal Forms of Business Combinations Statutory consolidation (100% ownership) A Corp + B Corp = C Corp (new company) Statutory merger (100% ownership) A Corp + B Corp = A Corp
