REVIEW QUESTIONS
2. Foxy Ltd was going through some difficult trading times and was barely
breaking even. In attempting to improve sales, the company spent $500 000 on
an advertising campaign during the current year in the hope that sales would
improve in the new year. Management decided that the cost of this campaign
should be recorded as an asset in order that the small current profit for the firm
would not become a loss. Discuss whether management’s decision is justified.
Advertising costs may be treated as an asset only if they satisfy the definition of an asset. Do they have the essential characteristics of an asset? Do they provide controlled future
economic benefits flowing to the entity from a past event or events? Do they satisfy the proposed definition of an asset put forward by the IASB and FASB?
It is not sufficient to treat them as an asset merely to show a better profit figure. If advertising costs are not assets, then management‘s decision is not justified. If they are
assets, then the decision to treat them as an asset in the records will only be justified if
the advertising costs satisfy the recognition criteria, i.e. is it probable that the advertising
expenditure will lead to future economic benefits flowing to the entity, and can the costs be measured reliability? Discuss the meaning of ―probable‖. Note that in this case, there is a cost which can be reliably measured.
4. What are the essential characteristics of equity? What proposals have been put forward to change the concept of equity?
Equity is defined in the current Framework, paragraph 49, as ?the residual interest in the
assets of the entity after deducting its liabilities‘. Equity as such is not a stand-alone
concept but a ?residual‘, determined by subtracting recognised liabilities from recognised assets.. It is proposed, however, that this residual concept be pushed aside in favour of a ―stand-alone‖ concept of equity. See section 3.1.5 of the chapter.
The FASB has described three approaches for distinguishing equity instruments from non-equity instruments—basic ownership, ownership-settlement and reassessed expected outcomes (REO); and has reached a preliminary view that the basic ownership approach is the appropriate approach for determining which instruments should be classified as equity.
All three approaches use the definition of a basic ownership instrument. The
characteristics of such an instrument are:
(a) the holder has a claim to a share of the assets of the entity that is subordinate
to all other claims if the issuer were to liquidate on the date the classification
decision is being made, and
(b) the holder is entitled to a percentage of the assets of the entity that remain
after all higher priority claims have been satisfied.
Some instruments that are redeemable (mandatorily or at the option of the holder) meet the definition of a basic ownership instrument.
A basic ownership instrument would be classified as equity under all three approaches. Under the basic ownership approach, only basic ownership instruments would be
classified as equity. The ownership-settlement approach would also classify as equity
other perpetual financial instruments and some derivative financial instruments that are indexed to and settled with the entity‘s basic ownership instruments. The ownership-
settlement approach would also classify a component of a financial instrument as equity if the instrument has multiple outcomes and one or more of those outcomes provides a return to the holder that has the same general profile as the return to the holder of a basic ownership instrument.
The REO approach would also classify as equity those financial instruments
whose fair value changes in the same direction as the fair value of a basic ownership instrument. Thus, depending on the approach adopted, the concept of equity will include only a few financial instruments or several financial instruments
Another approach has also been proposed in a discussion paper prepared by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG). That paper favours an approach called the loss absorption approach to determining equity. The loss absorption approach
classifies instruments (or components of instruments) as equity if the instrument‘s claim on net assets is reduced if the entity incurs a loss.
5. As maintenance costs on equipment have been steadily rising every year, Scotch
Ltd has been setting aside regularly a provision for plant maintenance at an
increasing amount. The provision has been recorded as a liability, and as an
expense. Discuss whether Scotch Ltd’s treatment is correct.
The current Framework‘s definition of a liability provides that there must be a present
obligation. Furthermore, a provision must firstly be a liability for it to exist. See Section 3.1.3 of the chapter.
As the recording of future maintenance costs is merely a book entry involving a future self-sacrifice by Scotch Ltd itself, with no present obligation, no liability for maintenance costs exists under the Framework‘s definition of liabilities. Nor can there be an expense
as there has been no outflow or depletion of assets or incurrence of a liability in Scotch Ltd.
6. Distinguish between current and non-current assets. Can property, plant and
equipment be reported as a current asset? If so, when?
The distinction between a current and a non-current asset can be found in paragraph 66 of AASB 101. Here a current asset is defined as an asset that (a) is expected to be realised in, or is intended to be sold or consumed in the entity‘s normal operating cycle (usually
twelve months); or (b) is held primarily for trading purposes, or (c) is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or (d) the asset is cash or a cash equivalent which is not restricted in its use beyond twelve months. If an asset doesn‘t
satisfy this definition, then it will be classified as a non-current asset. See section 3.3.1 of the chapter.
An example of an item of property, plant and equipment being reported as a current asset may be where a particular machine or group of such assets is no longer being used by the entity in its factory and is being held for sale, which is expected to take place in the next twelve months. For such non-current assets to be reclassified as current, it must satisfy the requirements of paragraph 3 of AASB5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and
Discontinued Operations, which states:
Assets classified as non-current in accordance with AASB 101 Presentation of Financial
Statements shall not be reclassified as current assets until they meet the criteria to be
classified as held for sale in accordance with this Standard. Assets of a class that an entity
would normally regard as non-current that are acquired exclusively with a view to resale shall
not be classified as current unless they meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale in
accordance with this Standard.
7. Distinguish between current and non-current liabilities. Can a liability, which
satisfies the definition of a current liability, be reported, internally and/or
externally, as a non-current liability?
The distinction between a current and a non-current liability can be found in paragraph 69 of AASB 101. Here a current liability is defined as a liability that is (a) expected to be settled in the entity‘s normal operating cycle or (b) is held primarily for trading purposes,
or (c) it is due to be settled within twelve months after the end of the reporting period, or (d) the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If a liability doesn‘t satisfy this
definition, then it will be classified as a non-current liability. See section 3.3.2 of the chapter.
A long-term interest bearing liability that is due to be settled within twelve months would satisfy the definition of a current liability. However paragraph 73 of AASB 101 states that such liabilities must continue to be reported as a non-current liability where the entity has discretion to refinance or roll over its obligations for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
8. Discuss the nature of income and revenue. When can revenue be recognised?
What further restrictions are placed on the recognition of revenue by AASB 118?
How is revenue to be measured?
Income is defined at paragraph 70 of the current Framework as meaning increases of
economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in increases in equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity participants.
Income is subclassified into revenue and gains. Revenue is defined in AASB 118 as the gross inflow of economic benefits during the period arising in the course of ordinary
activities of an entity when those inflows result in increases in equity, other than increases relating to contributions from equity participants. Gains are simply income which arise from activities which are ―not from ordinary activities‖. Gains are reported
on a net basis, unlike revenue.
Paragraph 83 of the current Framework states that income should only be recognised
when it is probable these inflows or savings in outflows will occur and the amount can be reliably measured. AASB 118 places further restrictions on the recognition of revenue in that it requires a control test and a cost test to be applied. The control test requires the entity to transfer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, and not to retain continuing management involvement associated with effective control over the goods. The cost test requires that all costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the sale to be measured reliably.
For revenue from services, a stage of completion test is also required. The standard also provides requirements for the recognition of revenue from dividends, interest and royalties.
See section 3.2.1 for further discussion, and AASB 118 paragraphs 14-34.
Paragraph 9 of AASB 118 states that revenue must be measured at the fair value of the consideration or contributions received or receivable. Discuss the meaning of fair value. Note though that revenues arising from biological assets, as per paragraphs 26 and 28 of AASB 141, are measured as the increase in fair values (less costs to sell) of those assets
in the current period.
9. What is the nature of an expense, and when are expenses to be recognised? How
can expenses be classified in the preparation of financial statements for internal
reporting purposes?
Expenses are defined at paragraph 70 of the current Framework as decreases in economic
benefits during the accounting period in the form of outflows or depletions of assets or incurrences of liabilities that result in decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to equity participants. Paragraph 83 states that expenses should only be recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow from the entity and the amount can be reliably measured. See section 3.2.2 of the chapter for a brief discussion of the recognition of different types of expenses.
Expenses are usually classified in general-purpose financial statements by their nature
such as employee expenses or depreciation, or their function such as distribution and
administrative expenses. However, for internal reporting purposes, expenses can be classified in a way that best suits the user of the financial statement e.g. variable v fixed, controllable v non-controllable. See also Section 3.3.5 of the chapter.
12. Indicate reasons for the declaration of a bonus share issue, and discuss the legal
arrangements behind such an issue.
There are a number of reasons for the declaration of bonus shares that can be found at 3.4.5 of the text, namely:
, to provide a return to shareholders without any cash outlays, thus protecting the
company‘s current liquidity
, to capitalise the long-term reserves of a company by converting reserves such as asset
revaluation into share capital
, to capitalise the profits of the company under s. 254S
, to signal to the capital market that the company expects good future profitability
levels for cash dividends
, as a defence when the company is the subject of a takeover bid. The issue of bonus
shares in this situation commonly follows the revaluation of the company‘s assets,
and the bonus shares are issued by capitalising the revaluation surplus/reserve so
created.
A few years ago, BHP Billiton issued a 1:1 bonus share issue. This effectively reduced the share price in half whilst not diluting shareholder‘s capital wealth. A bonus issue
should not be referred to as a dividend unless it is being declared out of profits, as the Corporations Act states that a dividend may only be paid out of profits of the company.
14. Discuss the nature of a reserve. What reasons may there be for no definitions
being given for a reserve in the legislation, accounting standards and the
Framework?
The term reserve is not defined in any accounting standard or the Corporations Act. AASB 101 describes the equity of a company as consisting of issued capital and reserves (para.54(r)). In addition to retained earnings, the most common type of reserves are general, revaluation and foreign currency translation reserves, all of which can be considered as ?direct adjustments to equity‘. There appears to be no clear reason as to why the term
?reserve‘ is not defined in the legislation, standards, or the Framework. ?Retained earnings‘
is one category of reserves, according to AASB 101.
CASE STUDIES
Case Study 1: Footballers as assets
Required
Discuss whether the Liverchester club is justified in its action to treat players as assets, by reference to appropriate accounting regulations.
Assets are defined in the current Framework para. 49 as ?a resource controlled by the
entity as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity‘. According to paras 53–59 of the Framework, an asset has three
essential characteristics:
1. An asset contains future economic benefits in the form of a potential to contribute,
directly or indirectly, to the flow of cash and cash equivalents to the entity. 2. The future benefits must be controlled by the entity. This means that an asset does
not have to be legally owned. Control is not defined in the Framework;
nevertheless, in para. 57, an ability of the entity to deny or regulate access to those benefits is implied.
3. Assets must have come into existence as a result of past events. Future economic benefits which are not currently controlled by the entity are not assets. A past
event must have occurred. Hence, inventories expected to be acquired by the company next month are not assets to the entity at present.
Once these three essential characteristics are satisfied, an asset exists. Under the Framework, the existence of an asset is not dependent on factors such as whether it has been purchased at a cost, is ?tangible‘ or has a physical existence, has a legally enforceable claim over it, or is exchangeable in the marketplace for cash or other assets
Does the Liverchester club have future economic benefits? Yes. In the form of ticket sales, promotional and sponsorship benefits
Does Liverchester control the future economic benefits? As control means the capacity to deny or regulate the access of others to those benefits, Liverchester would appear to have control. Substantial transfer fees are required if a player wants to go to another club. Has there been a past event? Yes, there is a contract signed with each player. Can the players be recognised as assets? Recognition criteria could be discussed if it is agreed that the players are assets. But how do you obtain a reliable measure of your asset?
And what about other officials e.g. coaching staff, management? Are they not assets as well?
Does the IASB and FASB proposed definition of an asset change your opinion? The proposed definition is as follows:
An asset of an entity is a present economic resource to which, through an
enforceable right or other means, the entity has access or can limit the access of
others.
Case Study 5: Assets and expenses
Required
Evaluate Southern Breweries Limited's treatment of the beer advertising
expenditure.
Advertising expenditure may be treated as an asset only if it satisfies the definition of an asset. An asset should be defined and the essential characteristics of an asset discussed; namely controlled future economic benefits flowing to the entity from a past event or events. The challenge for Southern Breweries is to show how the future benefits flowing from Lite Lager are controlled by them.
It is not sufficient to treat the costs as an asset merely to show a better profit figure. If advertising costs are not assets, then management‘s decision is not justified.
If they are assets, then the decision to treat them as an asset in the records will only be
justified if the advertising costs satisfy the recognition criteria, i.e. is it probable that the
advertising expenditure will lead to future economic benefits flowing to the entity, and can the costs be measured reliability? Discuss the meaning of ―probable‖. In this case we would need to assess whether Southern Breweries‘ Lite Lager is going to create significant future economic benefits for the company.
Note that in this case, there is a cost which can be reliably measured.
