Short Answer
1. When the value implied by the acquisition price is below the fair value of the
identifiable net assets the residual amount will be negative (bargain
acquisition). Explain the difference in accounting for bargain acquisition
between past accounting and proposed accounting requirements.
2. Push down accounting is an accounting method required for the subsidiary in

some instances such as the banking industry. Briefly explain the concept of
push down accounting.
Questions from the Textbook
1. Distinguish among the following concepts:(a)Difference between book value

and the value implied by the purchase price.(b)Excess of implied value over
fair value.(c)Excess of fair value over implied value.(d)Excess of book value
over fair value.
2. In what account is the difference between book value and the value implied by
the purchase
price recorded on the books of the investor? In what account is the “excess of
implied over fair value” recorded?
3. How do you determine the amount of “the difference between book value and
the value implied by the purchase price” to be allocated to a specific asset of a
less than wholly owned subsidiary?
4. The parent company’s share of the fair value of the net assets of a subsidiary
may exceed acquisition cost. How must this excess be treated in the
preparation of consolidated financial statements?
5. What are the arguments for and against the alternatives for the handling of
bargain acquisitions? Why are such acquisitions unlikely to occur with great
frequency?
6. P Company acquired a 100% interest in S Company. On the date of

acquisition the fair value of the assets and liabilities of S Company was equal
to their book value except for land that had a fair value of $1,500,000 and a
book value of $300,000.
At what amount should the land of S Company be included in the consolidated
balance sheet?
At what amount should the land of S Company be included in the consolidated
balance sheet if P Company acquired an80% interest in S Company rather
than a 100%interest?
Business Ethics Question from the Textbook
Consider the following: Many years ago, a student in a consolidated financial

statements class came to me and said that Grand Central (a multi-store grocery and
variety chain in Salt Lake City and surrounding towns and cities) was going to be
acquired and that I should try to buy the stock and make lots of money. I asked him
how he knew and he told me that he worked part-time for Grand Central and heard
that Fred Meyer was going to acquire it. I did not know whether the student worked in
the accounting department at Grand Central or was a custodian at one of the stores. I
thanked him for the information but did not buy the stock. Within a few weeks, the
announcement was made that Fred Meyer was acquiring Grand Central and the stock
price shot up, almost doubling. It was clear that I had missed an opportunity to make a
lot of money ... I don’t know to this day whether or not that would have been insider
trading. How-ever, I have never gone home at night and asked my wife if the SEC
called. From “Don’t go to jail and other good advice for accountants,” by Ron Mano,
Accounting Today, October 25, 1999.
Question: Do you think this individual would have been guilty of insider trading if he
had purchased the stock in Grand Central based on this advice? Why or why not? Are
there ever instances where you think it would be wise to miss out on an opportunity to
reap benefits simply because the behavior necessitated would have been in a gray
ethical area, though not strictly illegal? Defend your position.

Questions from the Textbook
1. As mentioned in Chapter 1, the project on business combinations was the first

of several joint projects undertaken by the FASB and the IASB in their move
to converge standards globally. Nonetheless, complete convergence has not
yet occurred, and there are those who believe it to be a poor idea. Discuss the
reasons for and against global convergence.
2. In recent months, virtually every topic that has come to the attention of the
standard setters has been undertaken as a joint effort of the FASB and the
IASB rather than as an individual effort by one of the two boards. List and
discuss some of the joint projects that fall into this category.
3. What is the rationale for the harmonization of international accounting
standards?
4. Why is the SEC, once so reluctant to accept IAS, now very willing to allow
firms using IFRS to is-sue securities in the U.S. stock market without
reconciling to U.S. GAAP?
5. Discuss the types of ADRs that non-U.S. companies might use to access the
U.S. markets.
6. Describe the attitude of the FASB toward the IASB (International Accounting
Standards Board).
7. How does the FASB view its role in the development of an international
accounting system? Currently, two members of the IASB board were affiliated
with the FASB. Comment on what effect this might have on the likelihood
that the U.S. standard setters will accept the new IASB statements, if any?
8. List some of the major differences in accounting between IFRS and U.S.
GAAP.
A vice president of marketing for your company has been charged with
embezzling nearly $100,000 from the company. The vice president allegedly
submitted fraudulent vendor invoices in order to receive payments. As the vice
president of marketing for the company, the vice president is authorized to
approve the payment of invoices submitted by third-party vendors who did work
for the company. After the activities were uncovered, the company responded by
stating: “All employees are accountable to our ethics guidelines and procedures.
We do not tolerate violations of our ethics policy and will consistently enforce
these policies and procedures.”
1. How would you evaluate the internal controls of the company?
2. Do you think there are companies that develop comprehensive ethics and
compliance pro-grams for mid- and lower-level employees and ignore upper-
level executives and managers?
3. Is it an ethical issue if companies are not forth-coming concerning fraudulent

activities of top executives in an effort to minimize negative publicity?

Short Answer
1. Accounting for a foreign currency transaction involves the terms measured and
denominated. Describe a foreign currency transaction and distinguish between
the terms measured and denominated.
2. There are a number of business situations in which a firm may acquire a forward
exchange contract. Identify three common situations in which a forward
exchange contract can be used as a hedge.
1. Define currency exchange rates and distinguish between “direct” and

“indirect” quotations.
2. Explain why a firm is exposed to an added risk when it enters into a

transaction that is to be settled in a foreign currency.
3. Name the three stages of concern to the accountant in accounting for import–
export transactions. Briefly explain the accounting for each stage.
4. How should a transaction gain or loss be reported that is related to an unsettled

receivable recorded when the firm’s inventory was exported?
5. A U.S. firm carried a receivable for 100,000 yen. Assuming that the direct
exchange rate declined from $.009 at the date of the transaction to $.006at the
balance sheet date, compute the transaction gain or loss. What balance would
be reported for the receivable in the firm’s balance sheet?
6. Explain what is meant by the “two-transaction method” in recording exporting

or importing trans-actions. What support is given for this method?
7. Describe a forward exchange contract.
8. Explain the effects on income from hedging a foreign currency exposed net
asset position or net liability position.
9. What criteria must be satisfied for a foreign currency transaction to be

considered a hedge of an identifiable foreign currency commitment?
10. The FASB classifies forward contracts as those acquired for the purpose of
hedging and those acquired for the purpose of speculation. What main
differences are there in accounting for these two classifications?
11. How are foreign currency exchange gains and losses from hedging a
forecasted transaction handled?
12. What is a put option, and how might it be used to hedge a forecasted
transaction?
13. Define a derivative instrument, and describe the keystones identified by the
FASB for the ac-counting for such instruments.
14. Differentiate between forward-based derivatives and option-based derivatives.
15. List some of the criteria laid out by the FASB that are required for a gain or
loss on forecasted trans-actions (a cash flow hedge) to be excluded from the
income statement. If these criteria are satisfied, where are the gains or losses
reported, and when (if ever) are they shown in the income statement? What is
the rationale for this treatment?
Executive stock options (ESOs) are used to provide incentives for executives to
improve company performance. ESOs are usually granted “at-the-money,” meaning
that the exercise price of the options is set to equal the market price of the underlying
stock on the grant date. Clearly, executives would prefer to be granted options when
the stock price (and thus the exercise price) is at its lowest. Backdating options is the
practice of choosing a past date when the market price was particularly low.
Backdating has not, in the past, been illegal if no documents are forged, if
communicated to the shareholders, and if properly reflected in earnings and in taxes.
1. Since backdating gives the executive an “instant” profit, why wouldn’t the
firm simply grant an option with the exercise price lower than the cur-rent
market price?
2. Suppose the executive was not involved in back-dating the ESOs. Does the
executive face any ethical issues?

indicators identified by the FASB to provide guidance in selecting the
functional currency?
3. The __________is the functional currency of a foreign subsidiary with

operations that are relatively self-contained and integrated within the country
in which it is located. In such cases, the__________ method of translation
would be used to translate the accounts into dollars.
4. The __________is the functional currency of a foreign subsidiary that is a

direct and integral component or extension of a U.S. parent company. In such
cases, the __________method of translation is used to translate (remeasure)
the accounts into dollars.
5. Which method of translation is used to convert the financial statements when a

foreign subsidiary operates in a highly inflationary economy?
6. Define remeasurement.
7. Under the current rate method, how are assets and liabilities that are stated in a

8. Under the current rate method, describe how the various balance sheet
accounts are translated (including the equity accounts) and how this
translation affects the computation of various ratios (such as debt to equity or
the current ratio). In particular, discuss whether or not the ratios will change
when computed in local currencies and compared to their calculations (after
translation) using the parent’s currency.
9. What is the objective of the temporal method of translation?
10. Assuming that the temporal method is used, how are revenue and expense
items in foreign currency financial statements converted?
11. A translation adjustment results from the process of translating financial

SMC Inc. operates restaurants based on various themes, such as Mex-delight, Chinese
for the Buffet, and Steak- it and Eat- it. The Steak- it and Eat-it restaurants have not
been performing well recently, but SMC prefers not to disclose these details for fear
that competitors might use the information to the detriment of SMC. The restaurants
are located in various geographical locations, and management currently measures
profits and losses and asset allocation by restaurant concept. How-ever, when
preparing the segmental disclosures under SFAS No. 131 [ASC 280], the company
reports the segment information by geographical location only. The company recently
hired you to review the financial statements.

Many companies with defined benefit plans are curtailing or eliminating the plans
altogether. With a defined benefit plan, the company guarantees some set amount(or
formula-determined payment) when the employee retires. Because most pension
assets are invested in the stock market, whether a pension plan is fully funded of-ten
depends on the strength of the stock market. Be-cause of this volatility, companies
often find themselves unexpectedly in a position where they must either in-crease
funding or disclose significant underfunding. Because of this, many companies
simply reduce or eliminate the plan. Consider the pension plan of Golden Years
Company (GYC). Historically, GYC has been a great company to work for, with
strong employee benefits. GYC’s pension liability is approximately $15 million.
However, recently the company has been experiencing minor financial troubles in a
decreasing stock market and, consequently, announced the termination of the pension
plan in an effort to save costs. However, the pension plan was fully funded by$9
million (the fair value of assets exceeded the expected liability).

Short Answer
1. The Uniform Partnership Act specifies specific steps in distributing available

partnership assets in liquidation. Describe the steps used to distribute
partnership assets during the liquidation process.
2. An advance cash distribution plan specifies the order in which each partner
will receive cash and the dollar amount each will receive as it becomes
available for distribution. Identify the four steps in the preparation of an
advance cash distribution plan.
1. Why are realization gains or losses allocated to partners in their profit and loss
ratios?
2. In what manner should the final cash distribution be made in partnership

liquidation?
3. Why does a debit balance in a partners’ capital account create problems in the
UPA order of payment for a partnership liquidation?
4. Is it important to maintain separate accounts for a partner’s outstanding loan and

capital ac-counts? Explain why or why not.
5. Discuss the possible outcomes in the situation where the equity interest of one
partner is inadequate to absorb realization losses.
6. During a liquidation, at which point may cash be distributed to any of the

partners?
7. What is “marshaling of assets”?
8. To what extent can personal creditors seek re-covery from partnership assets?
9. In an installment liquidation, why should the partners view each cash distribution
as if it were the final distribution?
10. Discuss the three basic assumptions necessary for calculating a safe cash
distribution. How is this safe cash distribution computed?
11. How are unexpected costs such as liquidation expenses, disposal costs, or
unrecorded liabilities covered in the safe distribution schedule?
12. What is the objective of the procedures used for the preparation of an advance
cash distribution plan?
13. What is the “loss absorption potential”?
14. In what order must partnership assets be distributed?
You and two of your former college friends, Freeman and Oxyman, formed a
partnership called FOB, which builds and installs fabricated swimming pools. The
business has been operating for 15 years and has become one of the top swimming
pool companies in the area. Typically, you have been providing the on-site estimates
for the pools, while your partners do most of the onsite construction. While visiting
one of the sites, you hear a conversation between one of your partners and a customer.
Your partner is explaining that the cost will increase by $10,000 because of
unexpected rock removal. You are a bit surprised by this, since you had tested the area
for rocks. Later, back at the office, you review the core-sample results done on that
job, which did not reveal any rock. You decide to talk to the partner when he returns
to the office. When the partner returns to the office, he is arguing with someone from
a local bank concerning an outstanding personal loan.
1.What do you see as your duty with respect to the partnership?
2.What should you do? Explain your reasoning.
