CASH EQUIVALENTS
According to PAS 7, paragraph 6, cash equivalents are short-term and highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible into cash and so near their maturity that they present
insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. The standards further states
that only highly-liquid investments that are acquired three months before maturity date can qualify as
cash equivalents.
Examples of cash equivalent:
• Time deposit
• Money market instrument or commercial paper
• Treasury bills, treasury notes, and treasury bonds
• Redeemable preference shares with mandatory redemption period.
Items Measurement
Cash Face value
Cash in foreign currency Current exchange date (balance sheet date)
Cash in foreign bank a. unrestricted – included in cash
b. restricted – cash restricted in foreign bank
Cash fund set for a purpose a. use in current operations – classified as current asset
b. use in non-current operations – classified as long–term
investments
Investments a. three months or less – cash equivalents
b. more than three months but within one year – marketable
securities or short term investments
c. more than one year – long term investments
Compensating balance a. not legally restricted – part of cash
b. legally restricted – reclassified as cash held as compensating
balance.
Undelivered checks Checks that is drawn and recorded but is not given to payees is
still cash of the entity.
Post-dated checks delivered Checks that sent to payees but has a date subsequent in the
reporting period is still part of the cash of the entity.
Bank overdraft a. different banks – current liability or may be netted against
other bank if immaterial; netted against other account if it is
part of cash management
Tabunggao, Shane Josa Marie M.
ACCP302 AC32

b. same bank – maybe netted against the account with positive


amount but cannot be offset against restricted account.
Stale checks a. material – reverted to cash by accounts payable
b. immaterial – reverted to cash by miscellaneous income
IOUs Included as part of receivable
Equity securities Generally cannot be classified as cash equivalents because
equity securities do not have a maturity date (exception:
redeemable preference shares)
Callable preference shares Not classified as cash equivalents instead it is part of
shareholder’s equity on the part of issuer and part of long-term
investment of the holder.
No sufficient funds (NSF)/Drawn against Reverted back as part of receivables
uncleared deposits (DAUD)/ Drawn against
insufficient funds (DAIF) checks
Expense advances Receivable or prepaid expense
Temporary investments in shares of stocks Either FVTPL or FVTOCI but NEVER to be included as part of
cash and cash equivalents.
Unused credit line Disclosed in notes
Treasury warrants Included as part of cash
Escrow deposit Part of other current/noncurrent asset and reported as liability
Postage stamps on hand Reported as office supplies or as a prepaid expense
Unrecorded cash disbursements Record the disbursements by:
Dr A/P or other appropriate account xxx
Cr Cash xxx
Unrecorded cash collections/receipts Record the collections by:
Dr Cash xxx
Cr A/R or any other appropriate account
xxx

NOTE:
- If an item cannot be included as cash equivalent because it did not qualify the cut-off period
(i.e. three months), it will always be classified as investments (short term or long term) depending on
the period up to maturity.
- The reckoning period for time deposit is its duration since time deposit generally does not
have secondary market. For other securities with secondary market, the reckoning period would be
three months from the acquisition date until maturity date.
If the problem is silent with regard to:
• Treasury note and bonds – assumed non-current investment
• Cash in money market account – cash and cash equivalent
• Time deposit - cash and cash equivalent

6. In connection with your examination of the financial statements of Aseul, Inc. for the year ended
December 31, 2021, you were able to obtain certain information during your audit of the accounts
receivable and related accounts.

7. During your examination of the 2021 financial statements of the Coldplay Company you find that
the company does not provide allowance for doubtful accounts ever since it started operations in
2017. The company’s practice is to directly write-off as expense doubtful accounts and credit
recoveries to income. The company’s contracts are generally for two years.
Upon your recommendation, the company agreed to change its accounts for 2021 to give effect to
doubtful treatment on the allowance basis. The allowance is to be based on a percentage of sales
which is derived from the experience of prior years. Statistics for 2017 to 2021 are shown as follows:

During your examination, you noted that on December 31, the company assigned P350,000 of
customers’ accounts to secure a 17% P230,000 note payable. A 1% commission based on the
accounts was charged and deducted from the cash received. The client recorded this transaction by a
debit to cash and a credit to notes payable.
Tabunggao, Shane Josa Marie M.
ACCP302 AC32

Determine the balances of the following:


a. Accounts receivable (gross) balance at December 31
b. Total current non-trade receivable balance at December 31

Solutions:
a. The claims for damages is considered as accounts receivable. Therefore, P23,000 is the gross
balance of accounts receivable
b. The amount due from consignee is qualified to be non-trade receivable and therefore has a balance
of P30,000 recorded at billed price.

PAS 23 Borrowing Costs identifies some limited circumstances where borrowing costs
(interest) can be included in cost of inventories that meet the definition of a qualifying asset. [PAS
2.17 and PAS 23.4]
Inventory cost should not include:
• abnormal waste
• storage costs
• administrative overheads unrelated to production
• selling costs
• foreign exchange differences arising directly on the recent acquisition of inventories
invoiced in a foreign currency
• interest cost when inventories are purchased with deferred settlement terms.

PROBLEMS:
1. The Peek-A-Boo Company is on a calendar year basis. The following data were
found during your audit:
a. Goods in transit shipped FOB destination by a supplier, in the amount of
P100,000, had been excluded from the inventory, and further testing revealed
that the purchase had been recorded.
b. Goods costing P50,000 had been received, included in inventory, and recorded as
a purchase. However, upon your inspection the goods were found to be defective
and would be immediately returned.
c. Materials costing P250,000 and billed on December 30 at a selling price of
P320,000, had been segregated in the warehouse for shipment to a customer. The
materials had been excluded from inventory as a signed purchase order had been
received from the customer. Terms, FOB destination.
d. Goods costing P70,000 was out on consignment with Rookie Company. Since
the monthly statement from Rookie Company listed those materials as on hand,
the items had been excluded from the final inventory and invoiced on
December 31 at P80,000.
e. The sale of P150,000 worth of materials and costing P120,000 had been shipped
FOB point of shipment on December 31. However, this inventory was found to
be included in the final inventory. The sale was properly recorded in 2005.
f. Goods costing P100,000 and selling for P140,000 had been segregated, but not
shipped at December 31, and were not included in the inventory. A review of
the customer’s purchase order set forth terms as FOB destination. The sale had
not been recorded.
g. Your client has an invoice from a supplier, terms FOB shipping point but the
goods had not arrived as yet. However, these materials costing P170,000 had
been included in the inventory count, but no entry had been made for their
purchase.
h. Merchandise costing P200,000 had been recorded as a purchase but not included
as inventory. Terms of sale are FOB shipping point according to the supplier’s
invoice which had arrived at December 31.
