principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and therefore held for only a short period of time Trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and selling, and trading securities are generally used with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price (b) A holding gain or loss is the net change in fair value of a security The holding gain or loss does not include dividend or interest income recognized but not yet received or write-downs for otherthan-temporary impairment (c) A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in the cash flows of a recognized asset or liability, or of a forecasted transaction, that is attributable to a particular risk (d) A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, or of an unrecognized firm commitment, that are attributable to a particular risk CE17-2 According to FASB ASC 235-10-S99-1 (Notes to Financial Statements—SEC Materials): (n) Accounting policies for certain derivative instruments Disclosures regarding accounting policies shall include descriptions of the accounting policies used for derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments and the methods of applying those policies that materially affect the determination of financial position, cash flows, or results of operation This description shall include, to the extent material, each of the following items: (1) A discussion of each method used to account for derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments; (2) The types of derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments accounted for under each method; (3) The criteria required to be met for each accounting method used, including a discussion of the criteria required to be met for hedge or deferral accounting and accrual or settlement accounting (e g., whether and how risk reduction, correlation, designation, and effectiveness tests are applied); (4) The accounting method used if the criteria specified in paragraph (n)(3) of this section are not met; (5) The method used to account for terminations of derivatives designated as hedges or derivatives used to affect directly or indirectly the terms, fair values, or cash flows of a designated item; Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.   Kieso,

extinguished, or is terminated In addition, the method used to account for derivatives designated to an anticipated transaction, when the anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur; and (7) Where and when derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, and their related gains and losses, are reported in the statements of financial position, cash flows, and results of operations Instructions to paragraph 4-08(n) For purposes of this paragraph (n), derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments (collectively referred to as “derivatives”) are defined as follows: (i) Derivative financial instruments have the same meaning as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (see Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 119, “Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” (“FAS 119”) paragraphs 5–7, (October 1994)), and include futures, forwards, swaps, options, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics (ii) Derivative commodity instruments include, to the extent such instruments are not derivative financial instruments, commodity futures, commodity forwards, commodity swaps, commodity options, and other commodity instruments with similar characteristics that are permitted by contract or business custom to be settled in cash or with another financial instrument For purposes of this paragraph, settlement in cash includes settlement in cash of the net change in value of the derivative commodity instrument (e g., net cash settlement based on changes in the price of the underlying commodity) For purposes of paragraphs (n)(2), (n)(3), (n)(4), and (n)(7), the required disclosures should address separately derivatives entered into for trading purposes and derivatives entered into for purposes other than trading For purposes of this paragraph, trading purposes has the same meaning as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (see, e g., FAS 119, paragraph 9a (October 1994)) For purposes of paragraph (n)(6), anticipated transactions means transactions (other than transactions involving existing assets or liabilities or transactions necessitated by existing firm commitments) an enterprise expects, but is not obligated, to carry out in the normal course of business (see, e g., FASB, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 80, “Accounting for Futures Contracts,” paragraph 9, (August 1984)) Registrants should provide disclosures required under paragraph (n) in filings with the Commission that include financial statements of fiscal periods ending after June 15, 1997 [45 FR 63669, Sept 25, 1980, as amended at 46 FR 56179, Nov 16, 1981; 50 FR 25215, June 18,

creditor relationship with an enterprise Debt securities include U.S government securities, municipal securities, corporate bonds, convertible debt, and commercial paper Trade accounts receivable and loans receivable are not debt securities because they not meet the definition of a security An equity security is described as a security representing an ownership interest such as common, preferred, or other capital stock It also includes rights to acquire or dispose of an ownership interest at an agreed-upon or determinable price such as warrants, rights, and call options or put options Convertible debt securities and redeemable preferred stocks are not treated as equity securities The variety in bond features along with the variability in interest rates permits investors to shop for exactly the investment that satisfies their risk, yield, and marketability desires, and permits issuers to create a debt instrument best suited to their needs Cost includes the total consideration to acquire the investment, including brokerage fees and other costs incidental to the purchase The three types of classifications are: Held-to-maturity: Debt investments that the enterprise has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity Trading: Debt investments bought and held primarily for sale in the near term to generate income on short-term price differences Available-for-sale: Debt investments not classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities A debt investment should be classified as held-to-maturity only if the company has both: (1) the positive intent and (2) the ability to hold those securities to maturity Trading securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as part of net income Any discount or premium is amortized Trading and available-for-sale securities should be reported at fair value, whereas held-tomaturity securities should be reported at amortized cost $3,500,000 X 10% = $350,000; $350,000 ÷ = $175,000

Investments in equity securities can be classified as follows: (a) Holdings of less than 20% (fair value method)—investor has passive interest (b) Holdings between 20% and 50% (equity method)—investor has significant influence (c) Holdings of more than 50% (consolidated statements)—investor has controlling interest Holdings of less than 20% are then classified into trading and available-for-sale, assuming determinable fair values 13 Investments in stock not have a maturity date and therefore cannot be classified as held-tomaturity securities 14 Gross selling price of 10,000 shares at $27.50

as other comprehensive income and as a separate component of stockholders’ equity for available-forsale securities 16 Significant influence over an investee may result from representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making processes, material intercompany transactions, interchange of managerial personnel, or technological dependency An investment (direct or indirect) of 20% or more of the voting stock of an investee constitutes significant influence unless there exists evidence to the contrary 17 Under the equity method, the investment is originally recorded at cost, but is adjusted for changes in the investee’s net assets The investment account is increased (decreased) by the investor’s proportionate share of the earnings (losses) of the investee and decreased by all dividends received by the investor from the investee 18 The following disclosures in the investor’s financial statements are generally applicable to the equity method: 17-10 Copyright © 2011 John

should be classified as held-to-maturity because they have a specific maturity date and Instar has the intent and ability to hold them until the maturity date Instar’s investment of idle cash in equity securities should be classified as trading Instar’s investment in its supplier should be classified as an availablefor-sale security Instar does not intend to sell it in the short term and thus the investment does not qualify for classification as trading Instar’s ownership stake is far less than 20%, and there is no evidence that Instar can exert significant influence over the supplier, so the investment does not qualify for classification as an equity method investment For similar reasons, Instar’s investment in Forter Corp stock should be classified as available-for-sale Instar’s investment in Slobbaer Co common stock should be classified as an equity method investment because its holdings are greater than 20% and Instar exerts significant influence over Slobbaer (b) Fair

(To record income on the equity method, $300,000 X 25% = $75,000) 75,000 Cash Equity Investments (Slobbaer) (To record dividends received from equity-method investee, $100,000 X 25% = $25,000 25,000 75,000 25,000 Analysis The total effect on net income is $120,000 – $150,000 + $75,000 = $45,000 Note that the gain on the available-for-sale securities is a component of other comprehensive income, not net income reported on Instar’s income statement Note also that the equity method dividends received reduce the balance sheet value of the investment and are not recorded as revenue or income Principles The rationale for reporting held-to-maturity securities at amortized cost is that if management intends to hold the securities to maturity, fair values are not relevant for evaluating the cash flows associated with these securities On the other hand, if the securities are trading or available-for-sale, they may be sold before maturity or have such short maturities that information on their fair value is relevant for determining future cash flows When a company exercises significant influence over the operations of another company, it is argued that the investor company should use the equity method of accounting The rationale for this measurement basis is that the investor company should report the net income at the time the investee company earns it Under the fair value method for available-forsale securities, the company does not report income until it receives a dividend or sells the security (although it can increase or decrease other comprehensive income) 17-92

in the Investments—Debt and Equity Securities Topic establishes standards of financial accounting and reporting for both of the following: a Investments in equity determinable fair values securities that have readily b All investments in debt securities, including debt instruments that have been securitized Readily Determinable Fair Value (FASB ASC 320-10-20 Glossary) An equity security has a readily determinable fair value if it meets any of the following conditions: a The fair value of an equity security is readily determinable if sales prices or bid-and-asked quotations are currently available on a securities exchange registered with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or in the over-the-counter market, provided that those prices or quotations for the over-the-counter market are publicly reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations systems or by Pink Sheets LLC Restricted stock meets that definition if the restriction terminates within one year b The fair value of an equity security traded only in a foreign market is readily determinable if that foreign market is of a breadth and scope comparable to one of the U.S markets

Providing a general allowance for unidentified impairment in a portfolio of securities is not appropriate 35-30 If the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which impairment is assessed, the impairment is either temporary or other than temporary In addition to the guidance in this Section, an entity shall apply other guidance that is pertinent to the determination of whether an impairment is other than temporary, such as the guidance in Section 325-4035, as applicable Other than temporary does not mean permanent (c) See FASB ASC 320-10-25 25-14 Sales of debt securities that meet either of the following conditions may be considered as maturities for purposes of the classification of securities and the disclosure requirements under this Subtopic: The sale of a security occurs near enough to its maturity date (or call date if exercise of the call is probable) that interest rate risk is substantially eliminated as a pricing factor That is, the date of sale is so near the maturity or call date (for example, within three months) that changes in market interest rates would not have a significant effect on the security’s fair value The sale of a security occurs after the entity has already collected a substantial portion (at least 85 percent) of the principal outstanding at acquisition due either to prepayments on the debt security or to scheduled payments on a debt security payable in equal installments (both principal and interest) over its term For variable-rate securities, the scheduled payments need not be equal 17-94 Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.   Kieso, Intermediate Accounting, 14/e, Solutions Manual    (For Instructor Use Only) PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH

Intermediate Accounting, 14/e, Solutions Manual    (For Instructor Use Only) 17-97 IFRS CONCEPTS AND APPLICATION IFRS17-1 The accounting for investment securities is discussed in IAS 27 (“Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”), IAS 28 (“Accounting for Investments in Associates”), IAS 39 (“Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”), and IFRS (“Financial Instruments”) IFRS17-2 GAAP classifies investments as trading, available-for-sale (both debt and equity investments), and held-to-maturity (debt investments) IFRS uses heldfor-collection (debt investments), trading (both debt and equity investments), and non-trading equity investment classifications The accounting for trading investments is the same between GAAP and IFRS Held-to-maturity (GAAP) and held-for-collection (IFRS) investments are accounted for at amortized cost Gains and losses related to available-for-sale (GAAP) and non-trading equity investments (IFRS) are reported in other comprehensive income Both GAAP and IFRS 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 percent ownership The basis for consolidation under IFRS is control Under 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 percent of another company GAAP and IFRS are similar in the accounting for the fair value option That is, the option to use the fair value method must be made at initial recognition, the selection is irrevocable, and gains and losses are reported as part of income One difference is that GAAP permits the fair value option for equity method investments While measurement of impairments is similar, GAAP does not permit the reversal of an impairment charge related to available-for-sale debt and equity investments IFRS allows reversals of impairments for held-for-collection investments 17-98 Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.   Kieso, Intermediate Accounting, 14/e, Solutions Manual    (For

IFRS17-16 (a) According to IAS 39, paragraph AG71, “A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.” (b) According to IAS 39, paragraph IN22, “The Standard requires that impairment losses on available-for-sale equity instruments cannot be reversed through profit or loss, i.e any subsequent increase in fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income.” Also, according to paragraph 58, “An entity shall assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired If any such evidence exists, the entity shall apply paragraph 63 (for financial assets carried at amortised cost), paragraph 66 (for financial assets carried at cost) or paragraph 67 (for available-for-sale financial assets) to determine the amount of any impairment loss.” (c) According to IFRS 9, paragraph B4.3, Although the objective of an entity’s business model may be to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, the entity need not hold all of those instruments until maturity Thus an entity’s business model can be to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flows even when sales of financial assets occur For example, the entity may sell a financial asset if: the financial asset no longer meets the entity’s investment policy (e.g., the credit rating of the asset declines below that required by the entity’s investment policy); an insurer adjusts its investments portfolio to reflect a change in expected duration (i.e., the expected timing of payouts); or an entity needs to fund capital expenditures However, if more than an infrequent number of sales are made out of a portfolio, the entity needs to assess whether and how such sales are consistent with an objective of collecting contractual cash flows 17-104 Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.   Kieso, Intermediate Accounting, 14/e,
