Chapter 16 Accounting for Debt and Share


Investments

Chapter Opening Critical Thinking Challenge Questions*

How would an investor account for investment income?


- It depends on how the investment is classified. Income earned from an
investment recorded as a business combination would be recorded differently
than income earned from a debt investment.

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.

*The Chapter 16 Critical Thinking Challenge questions are asked at the beginning of this
chapter. Students are reminded at the conclusion of the chapter to refer to the Critical
Thinking Challenge questions at the beginning of the chapter. The solutions to the
Critical Thinking Challenge questions are available here in the Solutions Manual and
accessible to students at Connect.

CONCEPT REVIEW QUESTIONS

1. The classes for debt and share investments are:


— Non-strategic investments: debt investments and share investments
— Strategic investments: investments in associates (significant influence),
business combination (control), and joint arrangements (joint control).
2. An equity investment means the investor is buying an ownership interest in the
investee while a debt investment means the investor is lending the investee money.
Another difference is that an equity investment can pay dividends while a debt
investment will pay interest.
3. Interest is recorded as it accrues.
4. Using the fair value method when accounting for non-strategic investments,
revenue is recognized when dividends or interest are received or when the
investment is sold. An impairment adjustment is made at the end of each
accounting period to reflect the fair value of the investment, but any resulting gain
is unrealized.
5. Using the amortized cost method, revenue should be recognized when interest is
received or receivable and when the debt investment matures.
6. The equity method is used when the investor has a significant influence and/or
control over the investee corporation; i.e., generally when the investor owns 20% or
more of the investee’s voting shares.
7. Using the equity method, revenue should be recognized to record the investor’s
proportionate share in the declared earnings of the investee. This is done by
debiting the investment account and crediting earnings from investment.
8. Using the equity method dividends received from the investee company are not
recorded as revenue because doing so would be to double count the revenue.
Double counting occurs because the investor company has already recorded
revenue as its share of the investee’s earnings. Dividends paid by the investee
reduces the net assets of the investee and therefore the investor should debit cash
but credit the investment account to reflect its share in reduced net assets.
9. A company prepares consolidated statements if the company has control over a
subsidiary as a result of owning more than 50% of the subsidiary’s voting shares.

QUICK STUDY

Quick Study 16-1 (10 minutes)

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.

Exercise 16-1 (concluded)

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).

Long-term investments:
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.

2. Jack must classify the debt securities as short-term or long-term. Because


management intends to hold the bonds to maturity, they are correctly classified as
long-term.

3. Jack might be tempted to ignore what appears to be a permanent decline in the


value of the bonds so that his bonus will not be affected. However, the company’s
auditors or board of directors should serve as an effective check on Jack’s
accounting for the investments.

1. Investments, both short-term and long-term, would have appeared on the balance
sheet.

2. The short-term investments would be non-strategic because only long-term


investments can be strategic. The long-term investments could be non-strategic
or strategic. If the long-term investments include long-term debt investments,
these would be non-strategic. If, however, equity investments are included, it is
possible that these might be strategic … additional information is required.

3. The short-term investments could include both debt and equity investments. The
long-term investments could also include both debt and equity investments.

CRITICAL THINKING MINI CASE

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)

Solutions Manual to accompany Fundamental Accounting Principles, 14th Canadian Edition. © 2013 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd. 16-44
Last revised January 2013

CT 16-1 (continued)

— Total equity decreased as a percentage of assets from 2013 to 2014 (82.59%1 in


2014 from 83.74%2 in 2013)
1. ($150 + $239)/($15 + $46 + $80 + $30 + $300) × 100 = 82.59%
2. ($150 + $231)/($5 + $10 + $75 + $15 + $350) × 100 = 83.74%

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.

*The goal is highly dependent on “perspective.”
