6. During 2015, Loki Company decided to change from FIFO method of inventory valuation to the
weighted-average method. Inventory balances under each method were as follows:
January 1
December 31

FIFO
1,420,000
1,580,000

Weighted Average
1,540,000
1,660,000

Assuming a tax rate of 35%, what amount should Loki report as the effect of this accounting change?
a. -0b. P78,000
c. P80,000
d. P120,000

A change from the FIFO to average method of inventory costing requires a retroactive adjustment
since this is a change in accounting policy. The amount to be adjusted to the accumulated profits is
the difference between the beginning balances of inventory under FIFO and weighted average method
as follows:
Weighted Average, January 1
P1,540,000
FIFO, January
1,420,000
Effect of change in policy before tax 120,000

1. When an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property to be carried at fair value, the
resulting increase in carrying amount is:
A. treated to the extent that the increase reverses a previous impairment loss, the increase is
recognized in other comprehensive income.
B. treated as part of other comprehensive income or revaluation surplus within equity, if no
previous impairment has been recorded.
C. recognized directly to profit or loss.
D. None of the above.
Answer: B
Paragraph 62 of PAS 40 Investment Property
TRANSFERS
Up to the date when an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property carried at fair
value, an entity depreciates the property and recognizes any impairment losses that have
occurred. The entity treats any difference at that date between the carrying amount of the property
in accordance with IAS 16 and its fair value in the same way as a revaluation in accordance with
IAS 16. In other words:
(a) any resulting decrease in the carrying amount of the property is recognized in profit or loss.
However, to the extent that an amount is included in revaluation surplus for that property, the
decrease is recognized in other comprehensive income and reduces the revaluation surplus
within equity.
(b) any resulting increase in the carrying amount is treated as follows:
(i) to the extent that the increase reverses a previous impairment loss for that property,
the increase is recognized in profit or loss. The amount recognized in profit or loss does not
exceed the amount needed to restore the carrying amount to the carrying amount that would
have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized.
(ii) any remaining part of the increase is recognized in other comprehensive income and
increases the revaluation surplus within equity. On subsequent disposal of the investment
property, the revaluation surplus included in equity may be transferred to retained earnings.
The transfer from revaluation surplus to retained earnings is not made through profit or loss.

A. The term interest methods of allocation refers both to the convention for periodic reporting
and to the several approaches to dealing with changes in estimated future cash flows.
B. Interest methods of allocation are reporting conventions that use present value techniques in
the absence of a fresh-start measurement to compute changes in the carrying amount of an
asset or liability from one period to the next.
C. Interest methods of allocation are grounded in the notion of current cost.
D. Holding gains and losses are generally excluded from allocation systems.

a) fair value hedge: a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognised asset or
liability or an unrecognised firm commitment, or an identified portion of such an asset,
liability or firm commitment, that is attributable to a particular risk and could affect profit or
loss.
b) cash flow hedge: a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that (i) is attributable to
a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability (such as all or some future
interest payments on variable rate debt) or a highly probable forecast transaction and (ii)
could affect profit or loss.
c) hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation as defined in IAS 21.
6. Service Company markets products to real estate agents and to new homeowners, purchased a
customer list for P600,000 on January 2, 2014. Because turnover among real-estate agents and new
homeowners gradually become established homeowners, the list is expected to have economic value
for only four years. The Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. In January 2015, the
customer list was tested for impairment as a result of substantial turndown in the real estate market in
the area. It is estimated that the customer list will generate future cash flows of P100,000 per year for
the next three years and that the fair value (less costs to sell) of the customer list is P240,000. The
market rate of interest on this date is 8%. What amount of impairment loss on customer lists should
Service Company recognize?

7. Rowena Company grants 150 share options to each of its 500 employees on January 2, 2013, and
exercisable starting December 31, 2015 for a 2-year period. Each grant is conditional upon the employee
working for the entity over the next three years. Rowena estimates the fair value of each option is P40. On
the basis of weighted average probability, the entity estimates that 20% of the employees will leave
during the three-year period and forfeit their rights to share options. During the year 2013, 20 employees
leave and during the three-year period and believes that 20% is a fair estimate of employee departures.
During 2014, a further 22 employee leave. Due to low turnover as of December 31, 2014, Rowena revises
its estimate of employee departures over the three-year period from 20% to 15%. During 2015, a further
18 employees leave. What is the compensation expense to be recognized by Antonia Company for the
share options in 2015?
a. P800,000
b. P900,000

8. On December 31, 2015, Ronnin Company has 200,000 ordinary shares outstanding with a par value of
P100 per share. Information revealed that Ronnin had a 9% convertible debenture, P1,000,000 face value
bonds. The bond has a carrying value of P1,067,830 as of January 2, 2015 based on a prevailing rate of
7%. Each 1,000 bond is convertible into 20 ordinary shares. The bonds were dated January 1, 2015. Net
income after tax of 32% for 2015 was P418,000.
How much should Ronnin Company report as diluted earnings per share in its financial statements?
a. P1.90
b. P2.09
c. P2.13
d. P2.89
ANSWER: B

Diluted earnings per share

Because diluted earnings per share is increased when taking into account the convertible bond, the
convertible bond is antidilutive and is ignored in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
Therefore, diluted earnings per share is equal to the basic earnings per share of P2.09.
9. An entity is planning to dispose of a collection of assets. The entity designates these assets as a disposal
group, and the carrying amount of these assets immediately before classification as held for sale was
P20,000,000. Upon being classified as held for sale, the assets were revalued to P18,000,000. The entity
feels that fair value less cost to sell would be P17,000,000. How would the reduction in the value of the
assets on classification as held for sale be treated in the financial statements?
a. The entity recognizes a loss of P2,000,000 immediately before classification as held for sale and
then recognizes an impairment loss of P1,000,000
b. The entity recognizes an impairment loss of P3,000,000
c. The entity recognizes an impairment loss of P2,000,000
d. The entity recognizes a loss of P3,000,000 immediately before classifying the disposal group as
held for sale.
ANSWER: A
PFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations states that immediately
before the initial classification of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts
of the asset shall be measured in accordance with applicable PFRSs. Prior to classification, the assets
are covered in PAS 16 Property, Plant, and Equipment and revaluation is appropriate per standard.
Thus a revaluation loss of P2,000,000 should be recognized first and a subsequent impairment loss of
P1,000,000 at year-end.
10. On June 30, 2015, Kimmy Company sold equipment with an estimated useful life of 10 years and
immediately leased it back for 5 years. The equipments carrying amount was P820,000. The sales price
was P750,000. The fair value of the equipment was P790,000. The lease agreement is an operating lease.
What amount of deferred loss should the Company recognize on June 30, 2015 assuming future rental
is equal to market rate rent?
a. P-0b. P30,000
c. P40,000
d. P70,000
ANSWER: A
PAS 17 Leases provides that for operating leases, if the sales price is below fair value, any profit or
loss shall be recognized immediately, except that if the loss is compensated by future lease payments
at below market price, it shall be deferred and amortized in proportion to the lease payments over the
period for which the asset is expected to be used. Since the loss is not compensated by lower future
rentals, the loss is not deferred and expensed immediately.

National Federation of Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants

Western Mindanao Council
18th Regional Mid-Year Convention
II IAS 38 paragraph 32 says that If payment for an intangible asset is deferred beyond normal
credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent. The difference between this amount and the total
payments is recognised as interest expense over the period of credit unless it is capitalised in
accordance with IAS 23 Borrowing Costs.
III IAS 38 paragraph 8 states that Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the
fair value of other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or
construction.
IV - IAS 38 paragraph 37 states that The acquirer may recognise a group of complementary
intangible assets as a single asset provided the individual assets have similar useful lives. For
example, the terms 'brand' and 'brand name' are often used as synonyms for trademarks and other
marks. However, the former are general marketing terms that are typically used to refer to a group
of complementary assets such as a trademark (or service mark) and its related trade name,
formulas, recipes and technological expertise.
5. A subsidiarys fiscal year-end is June 30 and the parents fiscal year-end is December 31. The effect
of this difference is significant to the consolidated financial statements. In preparing consolidated
financial statements
A. The subsidiary should be consolidated using more recent interim financial statements.
B. The subsidiary should not be consolidated but its financial results are disclosed in the notes to
the consolidated financial statements.
C. The subsidiary should be consolidated using its June 30 annual financial statements
D. The subsidiary should not be consolidated but accounted for by the equity method in the
consolidated financial statements.
Answer: A
Appendix B of PFRS 10, paragraph B92-93 states that:
B92 The financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries used in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements shall have the same reporting date. When the end of the
reporting period of the parent is different from that of a subsidiary, the subsidiary prepares, for
consolidation purposes, additional financial information as of the same date as the financial
statements of the parent to enable the parent to consolidate the financial information of the
subsidiary, unless it is impracticable to do so.
B93 If it is impracticable to do so, the parent shall consolidate the financial information of the
subsidiary using the most recent financial statements of the subsidiary adjusted for the effects
of significant transactions or events that occur between the date of those financial statements and
the date of the consolidated financial statements. In any case, the difference between the date of
the subsidiary's financial statements and that of the consolidated financial statements shall be no
more than three months, and the length of the reporting periods and any difference between the
dates of the financial statements shall be the same from period to period.
Accordingly, the financial statements of the subsidiary should be adjusted at least as of September
30.

acquisition was P6,000,000 and the initial carrying amount including goodwill in Angels books was
P2,200,000. The carrying amount of the investment at December 31, 2015 is P2,800,000 and Buttles net
assets are fair valued at P9,000,000. Buttle issues new shares so that Angels holding is reduced to 20% as
Angel did not subscribe for the new shares which raised P8,000,000. The accounting for Buttle on the
issue of the new shares will be:
a. The carrying value of the associate decreases by P200,000 and the loss on dilution is P200,000
b. The carrying value of the associate increases by P2,200,000 and the gain on dilution is
P2,200,000

9. The following are the details abstracted from the records of CINDY Corp.
i.
The President is to receive a bonus consisting of a basic amount equivalent to 5% of the
Companys net income before deduction of bonus but after deduction of corporate income tax.
ii.
In addition, the basic bonus will be increased by the Companys tax savings because the total
amount of bonus is deductible in computing the Companys taxable income. The tax savings is
the difference between the income tax the Company would have paid if there were no bonus and
the taxes the Company must pay after deducting the bonus.
iii.
CINDY Corp. reported a net income of P280,000 in 2015 before deduction of the Presidents
bonus and the corporate income tax.
iv.
The Company is subject to a corporate income tax of 35% of its net income after deducting the
Presidents bonus.
Compute for the total amount of bonus the President should receive in 2015.
a. P9,100
b. P9,352
c. P14,387
d. P14,136
ANSWER:C
B=5% x (280,000 T) + (280,000 x 35% - T)
T=35% x (280,000 B)
T=98,000 0.35B
B=5% x (280,000 98,000+ 0.35B) + (98,000 98,000 +0.35B)
B=5% x (182,000 + 0.35B) +0.35B
B=9,100 + 0.0175B + 0.35B
0.6325B=9,100

1. A companys wages payable increased from the beginning to the end of the year. In the companys
statement of cash flows in which the operating activities section is prepared under the direct method,
the cash paid for wages would be
A. Salary expense plus wages payable at the beginning of the year.
B. Salary expense plus the increase in wages payable from the beginning to the end of the year.
C. Salary expense less the increase in wages payable from the beginning to the end of the year.
D. The same as salary expense.
Answer: C
In a statement of cash flows in which the operating activities section is prepared using the direct
method, the cash paid for wages would be equal to the accrual-basis salary expense, plus/minus any
decrease/increase in the wages payable account. (The logic is essentially the same as an accrual-basis
to cash-basis adjustment.)
2. The excess of the fair value of leased property at the inception of the lease over its cost or carrying
amount should be classified by the lessor as
A. Unearned income from a sales-type lease.
B. Unearned income from a direct-financing lease.
C. Manufacturers or dealers profit from a sales-type lease.
D. Manufacturers or dealers profit from a direct financing lease.
Answer: C
The excess of the fair value of leased property at the inception of the lease over the lessors cost is
defined as the manufacturers or dealers profit. Answer A is incorrect because the unearned income
from a sales-type lease is defined as the difference between the gross investment in the lease and the
sum of the present values of the components of the gross investment. Answer B is incorrect because
the unearned income from a direct-financing lease is defined as the excess of the gross investment
over the cost (also the PV of lease payments) of the leased property. Answer D is incorrect because a
sales-type lease involves a manufacturers or dealers profit while a direct financing lease does not.

IAS 38 Intangible Assets states that an intangible asset shall be recognized if and only if: (a) it is
probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the
entity, and (b) the cost can be measured reliably. Based on the given facts, only legal fees and other
costs for registration can be capitalized as cost of the patent.
Legal fees for the successful defense cannot be capitalized as it is incurred only to maintain the asset
and will not enhance and contribute to the expected future benefits from the patent.
Research and development costs as a rule are not capitalized except for development costs under
strict conditions in PAS 38 of which the problem is silent.
5. On January 2, 2015, Silence Corporation has an investment property that was carried at fair value
with a carrying amount of P2,400,000 (historical cost, P2,500,000). As of December 31, 2015, the
carrying amount of the property is P2,300,000. On December 31, 2015, the fair market value of the
property was P2,800,000. On this date, Silent Corporation decided to reclassify/transfer the property
to inventory. On the date of transfer, what amount should the inventory be valued?
a. P2,300,000
b. P2,400,000
c. P2,500,000
d. P2,800,000
ANSWER: D
Per PAS 40 Investment Property, a transfer from investment property carried at fair value to owneroccupied property or inventories shall be in accordance with PAS 16 or PAS 2 for which the
propertys deemed cost for subsequent accounting shall be its fair value at the date of change in use.
Thus, the inventory should be valued at P2,800,000.
