 ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

1. A short-term investment is one that meets the two tests of (1) ready marketabilityand (2) management intention to convert it to cash in the short run. In contrast, along-term investment is one that does not meet both of these tests. Most long-term investments are marketable securities, either stocks or bonds. A short-term

investment is classified as a current asset on the balance sheet, while long-terminvestments are reported as noncurrent assets.

2. For passive investments in bonds, companies may report the investment atunamortized cost if the intent is to hold the bonds until maturity. Otherwise, theinvestments in bonds are to be accounted for using the same fair value methodas is used for passive investments in equity securities. Each year end, theinvestments are adjusted to fair value. Passive equity investments are those inwhich the investor has less than 20% of the outstanding shares of votingcommon stock, unless there is evidence to the contrary.

When a company can exert significant influence over the investing and financingdecisions of another company, the equity method is used to account for andreport the investment. In applying the equity method, considered a “one-lineconsolidation,” dividends received from the affiliate company reduce theinvestment account; the investor’s percentage share of the affiliate’s net incomeor loss is included as income or loss on the investor’s income statement with acorresponding change in the investment account. The ability to exert significantinfluence over an affiliate company is presumed if the investor owns between20% and 50% of the outstanding shares of voting common stock.

When an investor owns over 50% of the outstanding shares of voting common

stock, the investor has control over the affiliate. Consolidated statements areprepared.

3. Only bonds that management has the plans and ability to hold until maturity canbe reported in the held-to-maturity portfolio. The investment in held-to-maturitybonds is reported on the balance sheet at unamortized cost, not fair value, at theend of each year.

4. When shares of capital stock of another company are purchased as aninvestment, they are measured and recorded at cost in accordance with the costprinciple. Cost is defined as the total expenditures incurred in obtaining the othershares. The total outlay includes the market price plus all commissions and otherbuying costs.

5. Under the fair value method, revenues are measured by the investor company inperiods during which the other company declares a cash dividend. Unrealizedgains and losses are recorded when the stock price increases or decreases.

6. Under the equity method, investment revenue is measured on a proportionatebasis by the investor company when earnings are reported by the affiliatecompany, rather than when the dividends are received. This is because theequity method is applied in the situation where the investor company has asufficient number of the shares of voting stock of the other company to exercise asignificant influence. When a significant influence can be exercised over thedividend policies of another corporation, it means that income of the othercorporation can be obtained, almost at will, by the investor company. Thus, whenthe affiliate company reports income, the investor company should record aproportionate share of that income as investment revenue because it isconsidered earned under the requirements of the revenue principle.

7. Under the equity method, dividends received from the affiliate company (the othercompany) are not recorded as revenue because to record the dividends asrevenue would involve double counting. There would be double counting becausethe investor company has already shown, as revenue earned, its proportionateshare of the earnings of the affiliate company. Because the dividends from theaffiliate company are paid out of those earnings, to record them as revenue by

the investor company would be double counting. As a consequence, under theequity method, a dividend received from the affiliate company is debited to Cashand credited to the Investment account.

8. The identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired company are recorded attheir fair values on the date of acquisition. This is called the acquisition method.

9. Goodwill is only recorded when one company purchases a controlling interest inanother. Goodwill is equal to the purchase price minus the fair value of theidentifiable assets less liabilities of the acquired company. The goodwill must berecognized as an asset and is not expensed unless impaired.

* Due to the nature of this project, it is very difficult to estimate the amount of timestudents will need to complete the assignment. As with any open-ended project, it ispossible for students to devote a large amount of time to these assignments. While

students often benefit from the extra effort, we find that some become frustrated bythe perceived difficulty of the task. You can reduce student frustration and anxiety bymaking your expectations clear. For example, when our goal is to sharpen researchskills, we devote class time to discussing research strategies. When we want thestudents to focus on a real accounting issue, we offer suggestions about possiblecompanies or industries.

CPE–1

Req. 1

Note 2, under the heading “Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investments and Long-

term Investments,” summarizes the types of securities that American Eagle holds in its

investment portfolio. Note 3 provides additional detail and indicates that short-term

investments totaling $25,499,000, consist of treasury bills and state and local government

auction rate securities (ARS); and long-term investments, totaling $847,000, consist of an

auction rate security call option.

Req. 2

 A balance of $11,469,000 was reported for goodwill on the January 28, 2012, balance sheet.

There was a very slight change in goodwill during fiscal 2011 ($3,000 decrease). Since

goodwill can only result from the acquisition of another company at a price which exceeds the

individual fair market values of the assets and liabilities, it is unlikely that the company

purchased another company during this time period. Note 2, under the heading “Goodwill,”

indicates that goodwill was not impaired during fiscal 2011.

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ANALYSIS CASES

CPE–3.

Req. 1Under the equity method, the investment amount (i.e., $485,000) was increased bythe proportionate share in income reported by the affiliate corporation and decreasedby the proportionate share of the dividends declared by the affiliate corporation. Thus,the increase in the investment account was caused by an excess of investmentincome over dividends received.

Req. 2

The net increase in the investment account was $71,000 (i.e., $556,000 – $485,000).Dividends during 2015 reduced the investment account by the amount of $90,000;therefore, investment revenue must be $161,000 (i.e., $90,000 + $71,000).

Req. 3

If the fair value method were used, investment revenue for 2015 would be $90,000(the amount of dividends received). The unrealized gain ($550,000 - $485,000) doesnot affect the income statement because the securities would be classified asavailable for sale (held long term).

Req. 4

The fair value of Maryn stock increased during 2015; therefore, the amount of theinvestment account balance would be $550,000.

CPE–4.

Under the acquisition method of accounting in both the U.S. and under IFRS,identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially valued atfair value. Those assets with indefinite useful lives and any goodwill amounts are notamortized. They are subjected to periodic impairment reviews and any impairmentwrite-downs are recorded as losses on the income statement. Those intangible assetswith limited useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis and recorded as anexpense on the income statement.

The only major differences between Diageo’s accounting and U.S. GAAP relate toacquisitions from prior years. Prior to 2001, goodwill was recorded on the balancesheet as an intangible asset and amortized over a period not to exceed 40 years inthe U.S. Under U.S. GAAP, amortization of these amounts of goodwill was stopped in2001. In England, prior to 2006, the recorded amount of goodwill was subtracted fromretained earnings and not recorded as an asset. The financial statements of both U.S.

and U.K. companies were not restated for the acquisitions accounted for under theold rules. So the older and newer acquisitions are accounted for in the currentstatements using different methods.

CRITICAL THINKING CASES

CPE–5.

This case deals with inside (non-public) information. The plan to acquire 80% ofanother company is significant because, when announced, it will affect the stock priceof the other company. It is wrong both legally and ethically to trade on insiderinformation regardless of the size of your proposed investment. It is also wrong topass insider information on to another individual even if you do not profit directly from

the information.

CP E–6.

The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the two companies will be addedtogether. It is unlikely that the two companies have significant intercompanytransactions such as intercompany sales. The analyst cannot simply add the twofinancial statements together because the investment account must be eliminated andthe assets of the acquired company stated at their fair value. Unfortunately, thisinformation is not available publicly.

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ANALYSIS TEAM PROJECT

CPE–7.

The solutions to this project will depend on the company and/or accounting period selectedfor analysis.
