How would an investment loss, such as the loss suffered in a Ponzi scheme, be recorded
by an investor?
- Again, how the investment was originally classified would determine how an
investment loss would be recorded. However, in all cases, because a Ponzi
scheme typically leaves the investor with little or nothing, the investments must
be assessed for impairment and appropriately written-down.

QUICK STUDY
1. E Purchased 5,000 shares of Douglas Inc. shares to be held for about 30 days.
2. D Purchased at par a $100,000 5% 5-year bond; interest is payable quarterly and
the bond will be held until maturity.
3. E Purchased 50,000 of the 80,000 authorized shares of Dolby Inc.
4. N Purchased equipment costing $140,000 by issuing shares.
5. N Purchased land costing $289,000 by borrowing $200,000 from the bank and
issuing shares for the balance.
6. N Signed a contract with two other organizations regarding a project to develop
and market a new computer program; each investor has a 1/3 share in the
project costs and revenues.
7. E Purchased 80,000 Inco shares to be held for several years; Inco has over 5
million shares issued and outstanding;
8. E Purchased 3,000 Perdu shares representing a 25% ownership interest.
Explanations: (4) ABC Inc. is not an investor; it has become an investee in this case
because an investor has accepted ABC Inc. shares in exchange for an asset. ABC Inc.
has invested in equipment which is not an investment in debt or equity securities.
(5) Same as (4). (6) ABC Inc. has entered into a contractual agreement as a form of
investment; a joint arrangement which is a type of investment but not a debt or equity
security investment.

Analysis component:
If the adjusting entry on December 31, 2014 was not recorded, net income would have
been understated on the income statement and assets and equity would have been
understated on the balance sheet, which would violate GAAP because the financial
information would not be faithfully represented. It would be worse to not record an
Unrealized Holding Loss than an Unrealized Holding Gain. Net income and assets should
never be overstated; it is better to understate than overstate given that users of financial
statement information are relying on them.

Analysis component:
The dividends would have been credited to the investment account instead of being
recognized in net income. The net effect on the balance sheet regarding this single
transaction would have been zero had the investment been classified as a significant
influence or an investment in associate investment (cash would have increased and
investments would have decreased = net effect of 0). Net income is higher with the
investment classified as a short-term investment (cash would have increased and equity
would have increased because of an increase in net income).

as opposed to unrealized because a transaction has occurred which differentiates
realized vs. unrealized losses (unrealized gains/losses have not yet occurred and are the
result of impairment adjustments).

Long-term investments, at amortized cost ..................................... 67,171
Analysis component:
Musli Inc. purchased the Barker Inc. bond for less than its face value because the
contract interest rate on the bond of 6.8% was lower than the market interest rate of 7.2%
which means that in order to entice investors to buy the Barker Inc. bonds instead of
investing at a higher market rate elsewhere, investors will require that the Barker bonds
be sold at less than the face value such that the effective rates are the same.

Analysis component:
If the December 31, 2014 impairment adjustment on the Logitech shares was not
recorded by Thornhill Corporation, a violation of the matching principle would occur.
The February 6, 2015 journal entry would overstate the Loss on Sale of Investment by
$3,000 which would result in an understatement of net income and equity for 2015 (and
an overstatement of net income and equity in 2014). $3,000 of the loss actually occurred
in 2014 and therefore should be matched to 2014 and not to 2015.

ETHICS CHALLENGE
1. Jack’s bonus will be affected by how he treats the long-term investment in the
Delta Inc. bonds. Technically, since the bonds are designated as long-term
securities there is normally no recognition of any loss in fair value over the past
accounting period. However, financial information must be faithfully represented
in order to comply with GAAP. This requires that assets and income not be
overstated. Based on the information provided, it appears that the bond values
have declined in value permanently. If this is the case, a journal entry should be
recorded that will result in a decrease in both net income and assets thereby
affecting Jack’s bonus.

Analysis component:
If the non-strategic investment was listed as a strategic investment, then an unrealized
holding gain would have not have been recorded which would affect net income,
assets, and equity. It would also impact the current ratio.

Note to instructor: Student responses will vary therefore the answer here is only
suggested and not inclusive of all possibilities; it is presented in point form for brevity.
Problem:
— should CT Inc. purchase some or all of Delmar Corp?
Goal:*
— to determine if Delmar Corp. is a good investment for CT Inc.
Principles:
— comply with GAAP and ethical standards
Facts:
— as noted in the case information
— Delmar Corp. has not purchased any new property, plant and equipment since
2006 (8 years) and given that depreciation is $50 million per year at a straight-line
rate there is a maximum remaining life of 6 years; the property, plant and
equipment are therefore well past their half-life
— Delmar Corp. distributed 90% of its 2014 net income to the shareholders as
dividends
— shareholders paid an average of $6/share ($150 million/25 million), distributed
$2.88/share in dividends in 2014 ($72 million/25 million), and the share value is
$8.50
— Delmar’s current ratio improved from 2013 to 2014 (1.42 in 2013 to 2.09 in 2014) as
did the quick ratio (0.20 in 2013 to 0.74 in 2014)
— Delmar’s gross profit margin is 62% ($310/$500 × 100) and its profit margin is 16%
($80/$500 × 100)

CT 16-1 (continued)
Conclusions/Consequences:
— Questions need to be asked regarding the condition of the property, plant and
equipment because if they are near the end of their useful life, replacements will
have to be purchased which will require significant financing given current
property, plant and equipment balances
— Equity is eroding as a percentage of total assets because of large dividends being
paid out and because property, plant and equipment are being depreciated with
no new ones replacing them.
— Delmar is not a growth company because it is distributing a high proportion of its
earnings to the shareholders; this is also evident by the share price which
appears to be slightly less than the original investment plus dividends per share
… absent is the shareholders expectation of value for future potential earnings.
— A comparison of Delmar’s profitability ratios with those of the industry will have to
be made to determine efficiency of its sales efforts.
