PROBLEM N0. 3

LYKA COMPANY’S net incomes for the past three years are presented below:

2012 2011 2010


P480,00 P450,00 P360,00

During the 2012 year-end the following items come to your attention:

1. Lyka bought at truck on January 1, 2009 for P196,000 with a P16,000 estimated salvage value
and a six-year life. the company debited an expense account and credited cash on the
purchase date for the entire cost of the asset. (Straight-line method)
2. During 2012, Lyka changed from the straight-line method of depredating its cement plant to the
double-declining balance method. The following computations present depreciation on both
bases:
2012 2011 2010
Straight-line 36,000 36,000 36,000
Double-declining 46,080 57,600 72,000

The net income for 2012 was computed using the double-declining balance method, on the
January 1,2012 book value, over the useful life life remaining at that time. The depreciation
recorded in 2012 was P72,000.
3. Lyka, in reviewing its provision for uncollectibles during 2012, has determined that 1% is the
appropriate amount of bad debt expense to be charged to operations. the company had used ½
of 1% as its rate in 2011 and 2012 when the expense had been P18,000 and P12,000,
respectively. The company recorded bad debt expense under the new rate for 2012. The
company would have recorded P6,000 less of bad debt expense on December 31, 2012 under
the old rate.

11. What is the entry necessary to correct the blocks for the transaction in part 1 of the problem,
assuming that the books for the current year are still open?
A. Equipment 196,000
Depreciation expense 30,000

At the beginning of year 1, an entity grants to a senior executive 30,000 share options. The grant is conditional
upon the executive remaining in the entity’s employ until the end of year 3.
The share options can be exercised if the entity’s share price increases from P20 at the beginning of year 1 to
above P30 at the end of year 3. If the share price is above P30 at the end of year 3, the share options can be
exercised at any time during the next five years, i.e., by the end of year 8.
The entity estimates the fair value of the share options on grant date to be P5 per option. This estimate takes into
account the following market condition:
 The possibility that the share price will exceed P30 at the end of year 3, i.e., the share options become
exercisable; and
 The possibility that the share price will not exceed P30 at the end of year 3, i.e., the share options will be
forfeited.
The following actual events occurred in years 1 to 3:
YEAR 1
 The share price has increased to P24
 The entity’s estimate the fair value of the options is P4 at the end of year 1. This taxes into account whether
the market condition will be satisfied by the end of year 3.
YEAR 2
 The share price has decreased to P22. However, the entity remains optimistic that the share price target will
be met by the end of year 3.

A1 PASSERS REVIEW CENTER///83


 The estimated fair value of the share option is P3. Again, this estimate takes into account the market
condition noted above.
YEAR 3
 The share price only reaches P28 by the end of year 3.
 The estimated value of the share option is zero, as the market condition has not been satisfied.
