Dragonair Cereal Co. frequently distributes coupons to promote new products. On October 1, 2014, Dragonair mailed
1,000,000 coupons for P.45 off each box of cereal purchased. Dragonair expects 120,000 of these coupons to be redeemed
before the December 31, 2014 expiration date. It takes thirty days from the redemption date for Dragonair to receive the
coupons from the retailers. Dragonair reimburses the retailers an additional P.05 for each coupon redeemed. As of
December 31, 2014, Dragonair had paid retailers P25,000 related to these coupons and had 50,000 coupons on hand that
had not been processed for payment. What amount should Dragonair report as a liability for coupons in its December 31,
2014 balance sheet?
Answer: P35,000
Dragonair expects 120,000 coupons to be redeemed at a total cost of P.50 per coupon (P.45 + P.05). Therefore,
total expected redemptions are P60,000 (120,000 × P.50). By 12/31/14, P25,000 has been paid on coupon
redemptions, so a liability of P35,000 must be established (P60,000 − P25,000). Note that this liability would
include both payments due for the 50,000 coupons on hand, and payments due on coupons to be received within
the first thirty days after the expiration date.

The accounts receivable-trade showed an unadjusted debit balance of P500,000 on the December 31, 2014 trial balance.
Analysis of accounts receivable reveals that with two exceptions, all appeared collectible at December 31, 2014. The two
exceptions are:
a. The Graveler Company had fallen into receivership and was expected to realize only P.40 on the peso.
The December 31, 2013 net realizable value was P50,000. On February 14, 2014 P40,000 was recovered
from Graveler Company, while the rest was deemed uncollectible.
b. The Poliwag Association had not paid anything on their balance of P30,000 and his account was written
off since Mr. Pol, the president of this Association, had informed your client in December 2013 that it
appeared impossible that current obligations could ever be met and that mortgage holders would probably
absorb all asset proceeds in the event of liquidation. However, on March 2, 2014, P15,000 was received
from the association as final settlement.
At what net realizable value should the trade accounts receivable appear on the 2014 balance sheet?

CAPITALIZATION RATE:
Interest Principal
Short-term loan P1,400,000 P14,000,000
Long-term loan 1,100,000 10,000,000
Total P2,500,000 P24,000,000
Capitalization rate (P2,500,000 / P24,000,000) = 10.42%
AVOIDABLE INTEREST:
ACTUAL INTEREST:
The amount of interest to be capitalized is the avoidable interest of P4,067,200 because it is lower than the actual
interest of P4,900,000. Under PAS 3: Borrowing Costs, the amount of borrowing costs capitalized during a period
should not exceed the amount of borrowing costs incurred during that period.

As of December 31, 2014, the notes receivable account of the Mr. Mime Corporation has a debit balance of P119,600.
There was no balance at January 1. In analyzing this account, you discover that notes amounting to P422,500 were
received from customers during the year under review, P208,000 of which were collected at maturity and P110,500 were
discounted at the Prudential Bank, the credit being to notes receivable. Of the P110,500 notes discounted, P52,000 were
paid at maturity. One note for P15,600 (Magmar Company) was dishonored and was charged back to notes receivable.
Cash in the amount of P16,500 has been received as a partial payment on notes not yet due. These collections are shown
as a liability on the balance sheet in an account entitled “partial payments on notes receivable.”
The Mr. Mime Corporation has also pledged a P25,000 customer’s note as a collateral for the payment of a bank loan. The
company is also treating as a cash item a three-month note for P4,000, given by an officer of the company, which is over a
month past due.
If Mr. Mime Corporation will set up a notes receivable discounted account, what will be adjusted balance of the trade
noted receivable account at December 31, 2014?

In your examination of the financial statements of Staryu Financing Company, you learn that its president has a profit-
sharing agreement with the corporation. The agreement states that the president is to receive a bonus consisting of a basic
amount equivalent to 10% of the company’s net income before deduction of bonus but after deduction of corporate
income tax. In addition, the basic bonus will be increased by the company’s tax savings because the total amount of bonus
is deductible in computing the company’s taxable income. The tax savings is the difference between the income taxes the
company would have paid if there were no bonus and the taxes the company must pay after Staryu Financing Company
registered a net income of P100,000 in 2014 before deduction of the president’s bonus or the corporate income tax. The
company is subject to a corporate income tax rate of 30% of its income after deducting the president’s bonus.
The total bonus due to the president for 2014 is
Answer: P10,447.76
Let B = Bonus
TS = tax savings
IT = Income tax
NI = Net income before bonus and tax
B = 10% (NI – T) + TS
TS = 30% (NI) – [30% (NI – B)]
T = 30% (NI – B)

What journal entry, if any, should be prepared on January 1, 2015, to adjust the accounts?
No journal entry is necessary. The change in depreciation method is now accounted for as a change in accounting
estimate. Therefore, the change must be handled currently and prospectively.
PAS 8 provides that the effect of a change in accounting estimate shall be recognized prospectively by including
it in profit or loss in:
a. The period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or
b. The period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.
The standard further provides that prospective recognition of the effect of a change in an accounting estimate
means that the change is applied to transactions, other events and conditions form the date of the change in
estimate.

On 1 January 2015 an entity acquired an investment property (building) in a remote location for P100,000. After initial
recognition, the entity measures the investment property using the cost-depreciation-impairment model, because its fair
value cannot be measured reliably on an ongoing basis.
The management:
assessed the building’s useful life at 50 years from the date of acquisition
presumed the residual value of the building to be nil (given that the fair value cannot be determined reliably on
an ongoing basis)
assessed that the entity will consume the building’s future economic benefits evenly over 50 years from the
date of acquisition
declined an unsolicited offer to purchase the building for P130,000. This is a ‘one-off’ offer that is unlikely to

Weezing Company’s own research and development has an on-going project to develop a new production process. At the
end of 2014, Weezing had already spent a total of P300,000, of which P270,000 was incurred before November 1, 2014.
On November 1, 2014, the company’s newly developed production process met the criteria for recognition as an
intangible asset.
During 2015, Weezing incurred additional expenditure of P600,000. A the end of 2015, the recoverable amount of the
intangible asset was estimated to be P570,000, including future cash outflows to complete the process before it is
available for its intended use.

PAS 38 provides that the cost of an internally generated intangible asset is the sum of expenditures incurred from
the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria. The standard prohibits recognition as part of
the cost of an intangible asset at a later date, the expenditure that was initially recognized as an expense when it
was incurred.
