Notes Received for Property, Goods, or Services


In a bargained transaction entered into at arm’s length, the

stated interest rate is presumed to be fair unless:

1. No interest rate is stated, or

2. Stated interest rate is unreasonable, or

3. Face amount of the note is materially different from the

current cash sales price.

Illustration: Oasis Development Co. sold a corner lot to Rusty Pelican as a restaurant site. Oasis accepted in exchange a five-year note having a maturity value of $35,247 and no stated interest rate. The land originally cost Oasis $14,000. At the date of sale the land had a fair market value of $20,000. Oasis uses the fair market value of the land, $20,000, as the present value of the note. Oasis therefore records the sale as:

Illustration (recording fair value option): Assume that

Escobar Company has notes receivable that have a fair value of

$810,000 and a carrying amount of $620,000. Escobar decides

on December 31, 2012, to use the fair value option for these

receivables. This is the first valuation of these recently acquired

receivables. At December 31, 2012, Escobar makes an

adjusting entry to record the increase in value of Notes

Receivable and to record the unrealized holding gain, as follows.

44 LO 5 Explain common techniques employed to control cash.

Management faces two problems in accounting for cash transactions:

1. Establish proper controls to prevent any unauthorized transactions by officers or employees.

2. Provide information necessary to properly manage cash on hand and cash transactions.

CASH CONTROLS


To obtain desired control objectives, a company can vary the number and location of banks and the types of accounts.

General checking account

Collection float.

Lockbox accounts

Imprest bank accounts

Using Bank Accounts

IMPAIRMENT OF RECEIVABLES

LO 6 Describe the accounting for a loan impairment.

Companies evaluate their receivables to determine their ultimate collectibility.

Allowance method is appropriate when:

probable that an asset has been impaired and

amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Long-term receivables such as loans that are identified as impaired, companies perform an additional impairment evaluation.

57 LO 6 Describe the accounting for a loan impairment.

Impairment Measurement and Reporting

Impairment loss is calculated as the difference between

the investment in the loan (generally the principal plus

accrued interest) and

the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s

historical effective interest rate.



Illustration: At December 31, 2011, Ogden Bank recorded an

investment of $100,000 in a loan to Carl King. The loan has an

historical effective-interest rate of 10 percent, the principal is due in full

at maturity in three years, and interest is due annually. The loan officer

performs a review of the loan’s expected future cash flow and utilizes

the present value method for measuring the required impairment loss.

RELEVANT FACTS

The accounting and reporting related to cash is essentially the same under both IFRS and GAAP. In addition, the definition used for cash equivalents is the same. One difference is that, in general, IFRS classifies bank overdrafts as cash.

Like GAAP, cash and receivables are generally reported in the current assets section of the balance sheet under IFRS. However, companies may report cash and receivables as the last items in current assets under IFRS.

61

RELEVANT FACTS

The fair value option is similar under GAAP and IFRS but not identical. The international standard related to the fair value option is subject to certain qualifying criteria not in the U.S. standard.

IFRS and GAAP differ in the criteria used to account for transfers of receivables. IFRS is a combination of an approach focused on risks and rewards and loss of control. GAAP uses loss of control as the primary criterion. In addition, IFRS generally permits partial transfers; GAAP does not.
