1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Debt securities include corporate bonds and convertible debt, but not U.S. government securities. Trading securities are securities bought and held primarily for sale in the near term to generate income on short-term price differences. Unrealized holding gains and losses are recognized in net income for available-for-sale debt securities. A company can classify a debt security as held-to-maturity if it has the positive intent to hold the securities to maturity. Companies do not report changes in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities as income until the security is sold. The Securities Fair Value Adjustment account has a normal credit balance. Companies report trading securities at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in net income. Equity security holdings between 20 and 50 percent indicates that the investor has a controlling interest over the investee. The Unrealized Holding Gain/LossEquity account is reported as a part of other comprehensive income.

10. Significant influence over an investee may be indicated by material intercompany transactions and interchange of managerial personnel. 11. The accounting profession has concluded that an investment of more than 50 percent of the voting stock of an investee should lead to a presumption of significant influence over an investee.

17 - 7

12. All dividends received by an investor from the investee decrease the investments carrying value under the equity method. 13. Under the fair value method, the investor reports as revenue its share of the net income reported by the investee. 14. A controlling interest occurs when one corporation acquires a voting interest of more than 50 percent in another corporation. 15. Companies may not use the fair value option for investments that follow the equity method of accounting. 16. Changes in the fair value of a company's debt instruments are included as part of earnings in any given period. 17. If a decline in a securitys value is judged to be temporary, a company needs to write down the cost basis of the individual security to a new cost basis. 18. A reclassification adjustment is necessary when a company reports realized gains/losses as part of net income but also shows unrealized gains/losses as part of other comprehensive income. 19. If a company transfers held-to-maturity securities to available-for-sale securities, the unrealized gain or loss is recognized in income. 20. The transfer of securities from trading to available-for-sale and from available-for-sale to trading has the same impact on stockholders equity and net income.

Ex. 17-122Investments in equity securities. Presented below are unrelated cases involving investments in equity securities. Case I. The fair value of the trading securities at the end of last year was 30% below original cost, and this was properly reflected in the accounts. At the end of the current year, the fair value has increased to 20% above cost. Case II. The fair value of an available-for-sale security has declined to less than forty percent of the original cost. The decline in value is considered to be other than temporary. Case III. An equity security, whose fair value is now less than cost, is classified as trading but is reclassified as available-for-sale. Instructions Indicate the accounting required for each case separately.

17 - 32 Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Fourteenth Edition Solution 17-122 Case I. At the end of last year, the company would have recognized an unrealized holding loss and recorded a Fair Value Adjustment (trading). At the end of the current year, the company would record an unrealized holding gain that would be reported in the other revenue and gains section. The adjustment account would now have a debit balance. Solution 17-122 (cont.) Case II. When the decline in value is considered to be other than temporary, the loss should be recognized as if it were realized and earnings will be reduced. The fair value becomes a new cost basis. Case III. The security is transferred at fair value, which is the new cost basis of the security. The Equity Investments (available-for-sale) account is recorded at fair value, and the Unrealized Holding LossIncome account is debited for the unrealized loss. The Equity Investments (trading) account is credited for cost.

Ex. 17-123Investment in equity securities. Agee Corp. acquired a 30% interest in Trent Co. on January 1, 2013, for $500,000.

During 2013, Trent paid cash dividends of $160,000 and thereafter declared and issued a 5% common stock dividend when the fair value was $2 per share. Trent's net income for 2013 was $360,000. What is the balance in Agees equity investment account at the end of 2013? Solution 17-123 Cost Share of net income (.30 $360,000) Share of dividends (.30 $160,000) Balance in equity investment account $500,000 108,000 (48,000) $560,000

Ex. 17-124Fair value and equity methods. (Essay) Compare the fair value and equity methods of accounting for investments in stocks subsequent to acquisition. Solution 17-124 Under the fair value method, investments are originally recorded at cost and are reported at fair value. Dividends are reported as other revenues and gains. Under the equity method, investments are originally recorded at cost. Subsequently, the investment account is adjusted for the investor's share of the investee's net income or loss and this amount is recognized in the income of the investor. Dividends received from the investee are reductions in the investment account.

Answers to multiple choice 1. b 2. a 3. b

Short Answer:
1. Briefly describe some of the similarities and differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS with respect to the accounting for investments. 1. The accounting and reporting under IFRS and U.S. GAAP are for the most part very similar, although the criteria used to determine the accounting is often different. For example, among the notable similarities are: (1) the accounting for trading, availablefor-sale, and held-to-maturity securities is essentially the same between IFRS and U.S. GAAP; (2) both IFRS and U.S. GAAP use the same test to determine whether the equity method of accounting should be used that is, significant influence with a general guide of over 20% ownership. IFRS uses the term associate investment rather than equity investment to describe its investment under the equity method; (3) reclassifications of securities from one category to another generally follow the same accounting under the two GAAP systems. Reclassification in and out of trading securities is prohibited under IFRS. It is not prohibited under U.S. GAAP, but this type of reclassification should be rare.

17 - 44 Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Fourteenth Edition Differences include: (1) Gains and losses related to available-for-sale securities are reported in other comprehensive income under U.S. GAAP. Under IFRS, these gains and losses are reported directly in equity; (2) under IFRS, both the investor and an associate company should follow the same accounting policies. As a result, in order to prepare financial information, adjustments are made to the associates policies to conform to the investors books; (3) the basis for consolidation under IFRS is control. Under U.S. GAAP, a bipolar approach is used which is a risk-and-reward model (often referred to as a variable-entity approach) and a voting-interest approach. However, under both systems, for consolidation to occur, the investor company must generally own 50% of another company; (4) U.S. GAAP does not permit the reversal of an impairment charge related to available-for-sale debt and equity investments. IFRS follows the same approach for available-for-sale equity investments but permits reversal for available-for-sale debt securities and held-to-maturity securities. 2. Ramirez Company has an available-for-sale investment in the 6%, 20-year bonds of Soto Company. The investment was originally purchased for $1,200,000 in 2009. Early in 2012, Ramirez recorded an impairment of $200,000 on the Soto investment, due to Sotos financial distress. In 2013, Soto returned to profitability and the Soto investment was no longer impaired. What entry does Ramirez make in 2013 under (a) U.S. GAAP and (b) IFRS? 2. Under U.S. GAAP, Ramirez makes no entry, because impaired investments may not be written up if they recover in value. Under IFRS, Ramirez makes the following entry: Debt Investments 200,000 Recovery of Impairment Loss .. 200,000
