MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
1.

b
Goodwill at the date of acquisition is $10,000,000 ( = $16,000,000 4,000,000 +
8,000,000 10,000,000). Goodwill at 1/1/14 is $10,000,000 2,000,000 = $8,000,000.
Land, buildings and equipment revaluation at 1/1/14 is a credit of $8,000,000 [3 x
(8,000,000/20)] = $(6,800,000).
Intangibles revaluation at 1/1/14 = $10,000,000 [3 x ($10,000,000/5)] = $4,000,000.

Goodwill Impairment Losses

a.

Goodwill is not a standalone asset, but represents the value of above-average future
performance potential that cannot be assigned to identifiable assets such as property or
specific intangible assets. Because performance potential is related to business
operations, to measure impairments in its value it must be connected with a specific
business unit. In the case of Time Warner, as discussed in the text of Chapter 4, goodwill
is assigned to Networks as a business unit. The WB Network was one part of this
business unit, but did not comprise the entire unit.

b.

First, Time Warner has the option to perform a qualitative analysis to determine if it is
more likely than not that the business units book value exceeds its fair value. If so, the
fair value of the business unit is calculated and compared with its book value. If book
value exceeds fair value, we determine the amount of the impairment, if any, by
comparing the fair value of the goodwill with its book value. An impairment loss is
reported if book value exceeds fair value.
Since The WB Network was shut down, its future performance will no longer benefit
Time Warner, and the impairment charge is appropriate. Had the qualitative assessment
option been available in 2006, Time Warner would likely have bypassed this option due
to strong indicators that The WB Networks future cash flows were significantly
impaired.

c.

Time Warner has a 50% interest in The CW, so under U.S. GAAP it does not have a
controlling interest and reports its investment using the equity method. Time Warners
equity in the net income of The CW is reported as part of consolidated other income. The
investment balance is reported as part of consolidated assets. The CWs individual assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses are not reported on the consolidated financial
statements.

Parson reports its own income of $800 million plus its equity in the income of Soaper of
$140 million. Equity in the income of Soaper is Soapers reported income adjusted for
write-offs of Soapers net asset revaluations. Consolidated income is Parsons and
Soapers reported revenues and expenses, with Soapers expenses adjusted for the
revaluation writeoffs. Parsons separately reported income and consolidated income
therefore report the same items, packaged differently.

(1) Santos beginning inventory on its own books is $3,000,000 (= $5,200,000 +


4,000,000 6,200,000). Since Santos cost of goods sold is $4,000,000, its
beginning inventory is completely sold in 2014, and the revaluation is written off.

The future cash flows are adjusted for risks specific to the cash-generating unit and are discounted using a
pre-tax discount rate. The discount rate is derived from the groups post-tax weighted average cost of
capital and is adjusted where applicable to take into account any specific risk relating to the country where
the cash-generating unit is located.

Cash flows are adjusted for specific risks and the applicable tax effects before they are
discounted, thereby taking into consideration differences in the uncertainty of the
business environment. Most likely the cash flows of Exploration and Production segment
CGUs are more uncertain than those of Refining and Marketing, although the two
segments are closely related.
If the cash flows were not adjusted, the discount rate should be adjusted to reflect
differences in risk.

c.

$2,840 2,140 = $700, suggesting a GW impairment loss of that amount. However, total
goodwill allocated to the Rest of World CGU is $630. Therefore, the goodwill
impairment loss is $630, and other assets of the CGU would be written down, based on
appropriate impairment tests.

d.

U.S. GAAP requires goodwill to be assigned to reporting units, in this case Exploration
and Production, and Refining and Marketing. When testing for impairment, BP has the
option to perform a qualitative assessment of each reporting unit, using economic,
financial, and strategic factors, to determine if it is more likely than not that the units
book value exceeds its fair value. If so, the reporting units goodwill is evaluated using a
two-step test. Goodwill is tested for impairment only if the estimated fair value of the
reporting unit is in fact less than its book value. Because fair value is generally
calculated using discounted cash flows, we assume it can be approximated by value-inuse. For both reporting units above, value in use significantly exceeds book value, so no
impairment loss is reported, whether BP uses or bypasses the qualitative test.
Because reporting units aggregate CGUs, it is likely that CGUs with book value greater
than value in use will be offset by those with a value in use that is greater than book value
when applying the first step for impairment testing under U.S. GAAP.

P4.11 Intangibles under IFRS


a.

Whereas the double-declining balance rate is twice the straight-line rate, 150% declining
balance is 1.5 x 10% straight-line rate, or 15%. Following the conventional decliningbalance calculations, we have this amount of amortization expense for 2013, the second
year after acquisition:
Amortization expense = .15 x [200 million (.15 x 200 million)] = 25.5 million

b.

At December 31, 2012, the book value is 36 million after 2012 amortization of 4
million, and the market value of these intangibles is 45 million.
December 31, 2012 entries are (all amounts in millions):

Intangible assets

Amortization expense

5
Intangible assets

45 million/9 = 5 million
Revaluation surplus (OCI)
Loss (income)

9
1
Intangible assets

10

At this point the ending book value is 30 million (= 40 4 + 9 5 10], equal to the
market value on that date.
c.

IFRS impairment loss = book value greater of (value-in-use, 1,800 million; market
value, 1,500 million) = 2,000 1,800 = 200 million.
U.S. GAAP impairment loss = 0 (sum of undiscounted cash flows 2,500 million > book
value, 2,000 million, indicating no impairment).
The two-step test in U.S GAAP removes some potential impairments from consideration
because of the book value: undiscounted cash flows screen. IFRS directly compares fair
value (market value or value-in-use, whichever is higher) with book value. Since fair
value is lower than the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, IFRS will likely recognize
more impairment losses over time than U.S. GAAP.

P4.12 Consolidation in First Year, Intangible Asset Issues


(all dollar amounts in millions)
a.
Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities
$26,900
= $(20,800 + 9,400 + 4,800) Liabilities
Liabilities = $35,000 $26,900
Liabilities = $8,100
b.

Going by the book, the question is simply whether useful lives can be reasonably
estimated or whether the intangible has an obviously very long indeterminate (indefinite)
life. Many cases will be clear-cut and can be justified to the auditors but others will be in
gray areas such that the desired reporting result will call forth the case justifying the
classification of the intangible one way or another.
In these gray areas, management may elect to minimize periodic amortization charges
against earnings and take their chances on the somewhat random and very subjective
impairment tests. To the extent possible, management would likely classify items and
load cost in the indefinite-lived category to minimize the effect on earnings.

c.

With impairment charges being part of income from continuing operations, companies
may seek to lower the probability that they will have to recognize goodwill impairment
charges. The subjectivity inherent in valuing the reporting units to which the goodwill is
assignedcash flow forecasts and discount rate selectionsfacilitates decisions to load
goodwill onto reporting units that are less-likely impairment candidates, i.e., units with
fair value significantly above book value.

d.

Revaluation of limited-life intangibles is $2,000 (= $3,000 $1,000).


Amortization of this revaluation for 2007 = $2,000/15 x 9/12 = $100.
