INSTRUCTION TO READERS

Dear readers,

Financial Accounting and Reporting is a complex and interesting topic, yet itis
one of the most integral fields of knowledge inherent to finance and accounting
professionals. Thus, an adequate understanding of Financial Accounting and Reporting
is a hallmark of a true accountant. Although the topic at hand may seem daunting, the
author shall do his best to make the subject easily understandable.

Financial Accounting and Reporting is complex because it establishes the


foundation of accounting rules, pronouncements, and standards. Here, students will
learn about the different classes of assets, liabilities, and equity. Each classification of
assets and liabilities will have their own corresponding standards, principles, and
disclosure requirements. This book shall follow a standard-based discussion to ensure
a practical understanding of the topics at hand. Furthermore, the author devised a
principle-based structural presentation of Financial Accounting and Reporting to aid in
the understanding of the concepts through concept maps, diagrams, and simple
discussions. The aim is to inculcate a thorough understanding for long-term concept
retention and decisive application.

In studying the text, focus on the principles before the application. These
principles are derived directly from the Financial Reporting Standards. Afterwards,
mastery of the topic is achieved through the application of the principles through
computational problem discussions further supported by self-test exercises on the
concepts and problems.

The author has carefully arranged the topics in this book from chapter to
chapter and volume to volume. I strongly recommend that you read the book from the
first chapter to the end. References between chapters are being made in order to
strengthen the interconnectedness of the topics. One must not forget the past topics as
they delve deeper into the book. Your understanding of previous concepts will always
be needed in later chapters.

After understanding the chapters, practice is the stepping stone to mastery.


Thus, always answer the end-of-chapter self-test exercise to gauge your understanding
of the topic. The discussion questions serve as summaries of the concepts. The theory
questions are for strengthening your understanding based on the accounting standards.
The numerical problems are for practice of the application of the theories, However, we
advised our beloved readers that the solution manual of the book is restricted only
to financial accounting professors of adopting schools. This is to ensure that
students attempt and successfully master the concepts, theories, and problems.

It is in my sincerest hope that this humble piece of work will be able to guide,
shape, and teach our future CPAs. | hope this book will be able to deliver its objective
and assist you in your goals. Welcome to the world of financial accounting! May this
book serve as your partner and your guide. God Bless!

When you read books, you benefit from the learning. More often, you learn from books
more than the direct inputs of your school. Should you reward the authors who
wholeheartedly devoted tremendous time and effort to produce excellent books for you
or the self-centered people who merely steal the reward from them?

For many decades, piracy disheartened numerous competent authors. Most authors
stopped revising their books because they are deprived of the fruits of their labor. Piracy
is counterproductive to the educational advancement of the country. It’s now time for a
change. Let that change startin you!

Inlayman’s terms, liabilities are considered to arise from the borrowing of funds by
an entity or by a person. However, in accounting, liabilities arise not just from
borrowing of funds but also from many other sources _as long as the criteria for
the recognition of a liability are met.
According to the Conceptual Framework (the “Framework’”), a liability is a present
obligation of the entity to transfer an economic resource as a result of past events.

ALL of the following criteria shall be met for a liability to exist:


a. the entity has an obligation; preset Ova Fan hae
b. the obligation is to transfer an economic resource; and i" & de 4
c. the obligation is a present obligation that exists as a result of past events,
Each of these criteria will be discussed in the succeeding sections.

OBLIGATION
An obligation is a duty or responsibility which an entity has no practical ability to
avoid. [Framework 4.29]. An obligation may arise from any of the following:
a. contract, laws, and regulations (collectively known as “legal obligation”); or
b. entity’s customary practices, published policies or specific statements with an
entity having no practical ability to avoid (“constructive obligation’).
i
* It is not required
watnene
to specifically recognize the identity of the counterparty
for an
obligation to exist. For example, estimated warranty liability will still be
recognized even though an entity does not know who of its customers will
ultimately claim its right under the warranty. Warranties will be discussed in
Chapter 4.

In addition, an obligation exists even if the exact amount of the obligation is unknown,
provided that it can be reliably estimated. Using warranties again as an example,
related liability is recognized even though its amount is based solely on a reliable
estimate.

OBLIGATION TO TRANSFER AN ECONOMIC RESOURCE


Obligations to transfer an economic resource include, for example:
a. obligations to pay cash - for accounts payable to suppliers, accrued expenses,
and borrowings (i.e., loan and bond payables).
b. obligations to deliver goods or provide services - for income received in
advance or provision of warranty coverage.
c. obligations to exchange economic resources with another party on unfavorable
terms - for derivative liabilities.
d. obligations to transfer an economic resource ifa specified uncertain future event
occurs — for conditional obligations.

PRESENT OBLIGATION AS A RESULT OF PAST EVENTS


There shall be a present obligation as a result of past events for an entity to
recognize a liability. Obligations that will be incurred in the future shall not be
recognized as there is no present obligation to account for.
A good example of future obligation is when an entity orders an item of equipment.
On the date the equipment was ordered, no obligation shall be recognized since the
equipment is yet to be delivered to the entity. It is only when the equipment was
delivered to the entity that a liability is recognized since there is already a past
event (i.e., the receipt of the equipment from the supplier).
A present obligation exists as a result of past events only if:
a. the entity has already obtained economic benefits or taken an action; and
b. aS a consequence, the entity will or may have to transfer an economic resource
that it would not otherwise have had to transfer.
The following are examples of ways an entity obtains economic benefits and the
resulting obligation:
a. An entity acquiring inventory will recognize a corresponding amount of liability
(i.e., accounts payable) if it has alréady taken title over the goods.
b. Utilities (e.g., electricity or water) provide an entity economic benefit as they are’
consumed. Because of these consumed utilities, an entity will now be required
to pay a corresponding amount to the utilities provider (i.e., accrued expenses).

GENERAL CLASSIFICATIONS OF LIABILITIES


For accounting purposes, liabilities can be broadly classified into financial and non-
financial liabilities:

LIABILITIES

Financial liability is any liability that gives rise to a contractual obligation:

Chapter 1 - Introduction to Liabilities

a. to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or


b. to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under
conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the entity. [PAS 32.11].

The following are examples of liabilities that are considered as financial liabilities:
a. accounts and trade payables
b. notes payable
c. bonds and loans payable
d. derivative liability
The following are considered as non-financial liabilities:
a. Unearned income (income received in advance) - the obligation of the entity is to
deliver goods or provide services to customers rather than delivering cash or
another financial asset.
b. Estimated warranty liability - the obligation is to provide service to correct the
defects or malfunctions of products previously sold.
c. Income tax payable, deferred tax payable, and other tax liabilities - the obligation
does not arise from contracts but rather as a statutory requirement.
d. Constructive obligations - the obligation does not arise from contracts but from
the expectations of relevant parties.

It should be noted that certain liabilities such as lease liabilities and employee
benefits appear to be financial liabilities, but these are accounted differently
(different accounting standards) from the rest of the “true” financial liabilities.

ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL LIABILITIES


Generally, according to PFRS 9, financial liabilities are initially measured at their
fair value less the transaction costs incurred. Subsequently, financial liabilities
are generally measured at their amortized cost.

The accounting for amortized cost is similar to investments at amortized cost,


albeit the point of view is now on the issuer rather than the investor's point of view.
Details of this measurement basis will be discussed in Chapters 2 and 6.
As a way of exception, an entity, on initial recognition, may irrevocably
designate a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and
recognize changes in the liability’s fair value in profit or loss. This alternative is
normally applicable to bonds payable as their fair values are reliably determinable.
Details of this alternative accounting will be discussed again in Chapter 2.

ACCOUNTING FOR NON-FINANCIAL LIABILITIES


For non-financial liabilities, different accounting procedures are followed depending
on the relevant accounting standard that applies. For example:
a. Provisions are accounted for under PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets (see Chapter 3).

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cs CamScanner
CamScanner
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Liabilities

b. Lease liabilities are accounted for under PFRS 16, Leases (see Chapters 9 to 11).
c. Liabilities for employee benefits are accounted for under PAS 19, Employee
Benefits (see Chapters 12 and 124A).
Other non-financial liabilities are measured in the following manner:
a. Estimated amount to be incurred or paid to the counterparties (e.g., warranties,
income taxes payable or value-added tax payable); or
b. Equal to the amount received from customers that are not yet earned (e.g.,
advances from customers, unearned income, liability from gift certificates).

FINANCIAL REPORTING OF LIABILITIES


Generally, in the entity’s statement of financial position, liabilities are classified as
eithercurrent or non-current.
An entity shall classify a liability as current when:
a. it expects to settle the liability within its normal operating cycle;
b. it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
c. the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;
or
d. it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting period.

An entity shall classify all other liabilities as non-current. [PAS 1.69].


It should be noted that any one of these criteria is enough to classify a liability as
current. Each of these criteria will be discussed in greater detail in the succeeding
sections.

CRITERION 1 - It expects to settle the liability within its normal operating cycle
The operating cycle of an entity is the time between the acquisition of assets for
processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. Graphically, the
length of the operating cycle can be shown as follows:
normal operating cycle
\
{ \
ae ee ee
y { y
Date of acquisition of Date of selling the Date of realization of
goods for processing, goods on credit accounts receivable
to be sold later into cash

When the entity’s normal operating cycle is not clearly identifiable, it is assumed to
be twelve months. [PAS 1.68].

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cs CamScanner
CamScanner
Chapter 1 — Introduction to Liabilities

This criterion is made for trade payables such as the following:


a. accounts payable
b. notes payable for operating purposes
c. accrued operating expenses
d. unearned income; and
e. warranty liabilities.
These are normally classified as current even if they will be settled beyond 12
months after the reporting date as long as it will be paid within the normal
operating cycle.

For example, an accounts payable that is due to be paid in 15 months is still


considered as current if the entity’s normal operating cycle is 18 months.
CRITERION 2 - Holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading
A liability is considered as held for trading if (using the definition under PFRS 9):
a. itis acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term;
b. on initial recognition is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments
where there is evidence of recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
c. derivative (except those designated and effective hedging instrument).

Under this criterion and in the absence of additional information (i.e., silent
treatment), financial liabilities at FVTPL are usually classified as current. The
reason for this is that, in the absence of contrary information, the financial liabilities
at FVTPL are assumed to be held for trading. Prime example of this is the derivative
liability.
However, financial liability at FVTPL that was irrevocably designated as such on
initial recognition is not necessarily considered as current mainly because it may not
be held for trading.

CRITERION 3 - The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the
reporting period ee .
This criterion covers nontrade liabilities such as:
bank overdraft
dividends payable
mmpaoop

current and deferred income taxes and indirect taxes


notes payable issued other than for operating purposes
loans and bonds payable (including accrued interest)
lease liabilities
pension liability

In the absence of additional information, bonds payable, mortgage payable, and


pension liabilities are normally classified as non-current liabilities.

For these liabilities to be considered as current, they must be settled within twelve
months after the reporting date, regardless of the original term of the liability,
This can be summarized as follows:

Scenarios Classification
Reporting date to Maturity date $12 months Current
Reporting date to Maturity date >12 months Non-current

Applying this principle, the following non-trade payables are current:


a. bank overdraft and dividends payable
b current income tax payable and indirect taxes payable

c. accrued interest payable
d . notes, loans, and bonds payable maturing within 12 months after the reporting
date, regardless of the length of their original term.
portion of notes payable, loans payable, bonds payable, and lease liability that
are due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date.

However, deferred tax liability is ALWAYS considered as non-current.

December 31, 2023:
7-year bonds payable with maturity of July 1, 2024. P4,000,000

Accrued interest payable amounts are normally classified as current since they are
normally paid at least once a year.

CRITERION 4 - It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the


liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period/date.
As previously discussed, a liability that is due to be settled within 12 months is
normally classified as current, in the absence of both of the following:
a. unconditional right of the entity to defer the settlement of the liability; and
b. the deferment is at least twelve months after the reporting date.
The unconditional right of an entity can also mean “sole discretion” of the entity,
which means that a borrowing entity may make a decision without needing for an
agreement with the other parties.

Deferment means extending the maturity date beyond the original one. Ifan entity
has the sole discretion to extend the maturity date, the period of extension shall also
be considered in classifying the liability as current or non-current. This deferment
is also known as “refinancing”.

Illustration 2. As of December 31, 2023, DELGADO Company had a loan payable


maturing on June 30, 2024. The Company has the sole discretion to extend the
maturity date up to June 30, 2025.
Based on this information, the loan payable shall be classified as non-current since it
has an unconditional right to defer the settlement for at least twelve months after
7

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cs CamScanner
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Liabilities

December 31, 2023. This is regardless of the loan’s original maturity date of June 30,
2024, which is just six months after December 31, 2023.
Illustration 3. Going back to DELGADO Company, except that the maturity date
may be extended to June 30, 2025 provided the lender will agree.

Based on the revised information, the loans payable shall still be classified as current
as the Company does not have unconditional right to defer th This is
because the agreement with the lender is needed to extend the maturity date to June
30, 2025.

Illustration 4. At the end of 2023, CANLAS Company had a bond payable maturing
on April 1, 2024. The Company has the sole discretion to extend the maturity date
up to October 1, 2024.

The bond payable shall still be classified as current. Yes, there is an unconditional
right to defer the maturity date, but the deferred maturity date of October 1, 2024 is
still less than twelve months from December 31, 2023. This only shows that it is also
important to consider the length of deferment, in addition to assessing whether there
is an unconditional right to defer.

CONVERTIBLE BONDS PAYABLE Seify\c\\l) Wayans


Some bonds may be converted into equity securities of the issuer (this feature will
be discussed in Chapter 7). Despite this feature, it shall not be considered in
classifying bonds payable as current or non-current. Instead, CRITERION 3 shall be
applied by assessing the period from the reporting date to maturity date.

Illustration 5. As of the end of 2023, TARLAC Company had the following


convertible bonds payable:
10-year bond payable maturing on September 30, 2024 P7,000,000
5-year bond payable maturing on April 1, 2027 2,000,000

In this case, the convertibility feature of each bond payable shall be ignored. The 10-
year bond payable shall be classified as current since its maturity date is nine months
after December 31, 2023. On the other hand, the 5-year bond payable shall be
classified as noncurrent since its maturity date is more than 12 months after
December 31, 2023.

LIABILITIES - BREACH OF COVENANTS AND GRACE PERIOD


Loans payable and bonds payable normally contain covenants that contain
restrictions and/or conditions that the borrower is required to follow. The purpose
of these covenants is to highly discourage the borrower from doing activities that
may diminish its ability to pay the liability.

If these covenants were breached, the related liabilities will now become current,
regardless of the liability’s remaining term before maturity.

y\\ However, despite the breach, the creditor may decide to give the borrower a grace

and will allow the borrower to rectify the restriction/s and/or conditions breached

However, even if the grace period has been granted after the reporting date, it shal|
be disclosed in the financial statements.
Illustration 6. SASMUAN Company had a loan payable as of December 31, 2023
with remaining period to maturity of 5 years. One of the loan’s covenants is for the
Company to maintain a current ratio of at least 3.0 at all times. However, as of the
same date, the current ratio was 2.7, which is below the minimum ratio.
Because of the breach of a covenant, the loan payable shall be classified as current,
regardless of the 4-year remaining maturity, in the absence of any grace period.
Illustration 7. At the beginning of 2022, PANGLAO Company borrowed a Ioan
payable that will mature on December 31, 2027. Included in the loan’s covenants is
the timely payment of monthly interest. As of December 31, 2023, the Company is
5 months behind paying interest. As a result of the breach, the loan and the related
accrued interest became immediately due and demandable even if it will originally
mature on December 31, 2027.

Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the


classification of the loan (current or noncurrent) as of December 31, 2023:
1. A grace period not to demand payment for the next 18 months was granted on
December 20, 2023.
2. A grace period not to demand payment for the next 18 months was granted on
January 10, 2024.
3. A grace period not to demand payment for the next 6 months was granted on
December 24, 2023. .

Answer - Scenario 1
The loan shall be classified as noncurrent since the grace period was given before
December 31, 2023, and there is a deferral of payment for more than 12 months ajter
the same date.
Answer - Scenario 2
The loan shall still be classified as current since the grace period was only giver
after December 31, 2023, regardless of the period of deferral of payment. However,
the granting of the grace period shall be disclosed in the 2023 financial statements.
Answer - Scenario 3
The loan shall still be classified as current since the length of the grace period wil!
still require payment 6 months after December 31, 2023.

LIABILITIES PAYABLE ON DEMAND


Liabilities, which the creditor can declare as due and demandable anytime, are
always classified as current. This is regardless of the liability's remaining term
until its maturity date,

IIlustration 8.On December 31, 2023, ASTURIAS Company reported a loan payable
with maturity date of December 31, 2026. The creditor can demand the payment of
the loan anytime, even before the maturity date.
In this case, the loan shall be classified as current, regardless of its remaining term of
3 years.

ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE


The computation of accrued interest payable is similar to the computation of
accrued interest receivable from notes receivable. It should be recalled that interest
is earned/incurred by the mere passage of time. The general formula in computing
accrued interest is as follows:
Interest = Principal x Stated Rate x Time

When using this formula, the readers should take note of the following:
a. Principal amount to be used is as of the beginning of the interest period.
b. Time to be used is from the immediately preceding interest payment date
up to the reporting date. The frequency of interest payment (i.e., annually,
semi-annually and quarterly) will affect the amount of accrued interest.
c. Ifone of the interest payment dates is every December 31, accrued interest as of
December 31 of each year will be zero.
d. Assuming all other things are constant, the more frequent that the interest is
paid, the lower the amount of accrued interest as of the reporting date.

Illustration 9. As of December 31, 2023, TUAZON Company had the following


outstanding interest-bearing liabilities:
1. 10-year loan payable dated April 1, 2021 with face amount of P5,000,000 and
interest of 8%. The interest is payable annually every March 31 of each year.
2. 5-year, 12% interest-bearing bond payable dated June 1, 2022 with face amount
of P3,000,000. Interest is payable every May 31 and November 30 of each year.
3. 6-year, 9% interest-bearing loan payable dated January 1, 2021 with face

The readers should take note of the following:


a. Accrued interest payable is normally classified as part of current liabilities.
b. There is no accrued interest payable for Liability 3 since the interest payment
date is every December 31 of each year. For this liability, interest expense for
each year is always fully paid as of each reporting date.

OTHER ITEMS TO BE CONSIDERED


Other concepts that are significant for the overall understanding of the readers
include the following:
a. The accounts payable shall be reported gross of debit balances in the suppliers
accounts. The debit balances shall be separately reported as advances to
suppliers (i.e, an asset account). The following is the pro-forma entry for
reclassification if the accounts payable is net of these amounts:
Advances to suppliers XX
Accounts payable XX
b. The credit balances in the customers’ accounts shall be reported as part of current
liabilities (in the unearned income account). The following is the pro-forma entry
for reclassification if the accounts receivable is net of these amounts:
Accounts receivable XX
Unearned income XX

c. The amount of bank overdraft that cannot be offset with the other bank account
balances shall be classified as part of current liabilities. The following is the pro-
forma entry for reclassification if the cash in bank is already net of this amount:
Cash in bank XX
Bank overdraft (liability) XX

COMPREHENSIVE ILLUSTRATION - CURRENT/NONCURRENT CLASSIFICATION


As of December 31, 2023, TUAZON Company reported the following information
related to some of its account balances:
a. Accounts payable amounted to P900,000 while advances from customers
amounted to P200,000. The accounts payable is net of P120,000 debit balances
in suppliers’ accounts.
b. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities amounted to P300,000 and
P450,000 respectively. Half of these deferred tax amounts will reverse during
2024. Income tax payable for 2023 amounted to P150,000.
c. Accounts receivable had a balance of P1,200,000, net of credit balances in
customers’ accounts of P75,000.
d. Cash in bank had a balance of P700,000, net of P100,000 overdraft in one bank
account. No other bank accounts are maintained in that bank.
e, Estimated warranty liability amounted to P250,000.

CHAPTER 2
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND NOTES PAYABLE
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The transactions affecting the accounts payable and the computation of the
accounts payable ending balance.
2. The adjustments to the reported accounts payable balance.
3. The different types of notes payable.
4. The accounting procedures for each different type of notes payable.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE - INTRODUCTION


Accounts payable is the most common and usually the first type of liability that the
readers may have encountered. This normally arises from the credit purchases of
inventory, equipment, supplies, and other assets from suppliers.

Accounts payable is considered as a short-term financing wherein the entity shall


pay the supplier within a specified period of time, usually ranging from 30 days to -
60 days. To promote prompt payments, the supplier may also include a prompt
payment discount if the account is paid much earlier during the credit period. This
is known as a “purchase discount” in the perspective of the purchasing entity.

Accounting procedures for purchase discount have already been discussed in the
Volume 1 of this Intermediate Accounting series.

ACCOUNTING FOR ACCOUNTS PAYABLE (A/P)


As a financial liability, the accounting for accounts payable is relatively
straightforward. The first thing that the readers should know is what are the
transactions affecting this account and what are the effects of these transactions.
The following transactions affect the accounts payable balance, including the pro-
forma journal entries:

The readers should take note of the following:
a. Cash purchases do not affect the balance of accounts payable.
b. Cash refunds received as a result of purchase returns and allowances do not
affect the balance of accounts payable. To prove this point, the pro-forma journal
entry recording the refunds received is presented as follows:
Cash XX
Purchase returns and allowances XX

Accounts payable account is nowhere to be found in the above entry.

These transactions can be summarized in the following t-account:


Accounts Payable
Payments to credit purchases XX XX Beginning balance
Purchase discount XX XX Gross credit purchases
Purchase return or allowances XX
from unpaid credit purchases
Issuance of promissory note for XX
overdue accounts payable
Ending balance (squeeze) XX
Totals (should be equal) XX =

Transactions on the credit side increase the balance of accounts payable while the
those on the debit side decrease the balance of accounts payable.
The ending balance of accounts payable is the balancing figure between the initially
higher amount of total credits and initially lower amount of total debits to make
these totals equal in amount.
Illustration 1 - Simple. CARPIO Company had a beginning balance of P700,000 in
its accounts payable account. During the year, cash purchases and credit purchases
amounted to P300,000 and P2,800,000, respectively. Credit memos received from
suppliers amounted to P150,000 while cash refunds received amounted to
P100,000. Payments to credit suppliers totaled P2,400,000 which is already net of
P80,000 purchase discounts. Required: Determine the ending balance of accounts
payable.

The ending balance of the accounts payable is computed as follows:


Accounts Payable
Payments to credit purchases | 2,400,000 | 700,000 | Beginning balance
Purchase discount 80,000 | 2,800,000 | Gross credit purchases |

The readers should take note that the cash purchases and cash refunds received were
not included in the computations as neither of them affects the accounts payable
balance.
Illustration 2 - Comprehensive. On January 1, 2023, CARREON Company had
accounts payable balance of P1,800,000. During 2023, the following transactions
were also provided in aggregate basis:
a. Cash purchases amounted P800,000 which represented 20% of all the
Company’s purchases.
b. Payments to suppliers beyond the credit terms amounted to P2,000,000 while
payments to suppliers within the credit terms amounted to P1,358,000. Credit
terms for all of the suppliers is 3/15, n/45.
c. Credit memos received amounted to P200,000 while refunds received
amounted to P180,000.
d. Due to cash flow issues, the Company issued a note payable for P250,000 of its
overdue accounts payable.
Required: From the given information, determine the balance of accounts payable
as of December 31, 2023.

Solution:
The first step in solving this kind of problem is to determine the amounts relevant
in the computations that were not explicitly provided: ,
a. Credit purchases amounted to P3,200,000 computed based on cash purchases
[(P800,000/20%) x 80%]. Since cash purchases represent 20%, credit purchases
impliedly represent 80% of all purchases.
b. Purchase discounts amounted to P42,000 /(P1,358,000/(1 - 3%)) x 3%,
computed based on grossing up the cash payments to suppliers within the credit
terms then multiplying the grossed-up amount with the cash discount rate. The

c. Total payments of credit purchases, both within and beyond the discount period,
amounted to P3,358,000 (P2,000,000 + P1,358,000).
Next, compute for the ending amount of accounts payable using the t-account:

ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNTS PAYABLE BALANCE


After determining the ending balance of accounts payable, other items might result
to adjustments, which primarily arise from the following:
a. Unreleased, stale, and postdated checks prepared by the entity.
b. Premature or late recording of suppliers’ invoices.

UNRELEASED, STALE AND POSTDATED CHECKS


Unreleased checks are checks made but not yet given to the payees as of the
reporting date. Stale checks are checks made but not yet encashed by payees within
180 days after the date indicated in the check. Postdated checks are those dated
beyond the reporting date.
The readers should take note that in this Chapter, the concepts on checks are told
in the perspective of the maker.

As mentioned in Volume 1 of this Intermediate Accounting series, once an entity


prepares a check as a payment of its accounts payable, there is a presumption
that the amount has already been deducted from the cash in bank and
accounts payable balances. This is particularly true even if the check is unreleased
or post-dated or becomes stale. The effects of these checks are seen in the following
pro-forma entry to record the payment of the accounts payable:
Accounts payable XX
Cash in bank XX

Because of this, the amount of unreleased, stale, and postdated checks that were
already recorded shall be added back to the accounts payable balance by making
the following journal entry:
Cash in bank XX
Accounts payable XX

Illustration 3. As of December 31, 2023, BALTAZAR Company reported ending


balance of P1,500,000 in accounts payable. Also, as of the same date, the Company
had the following information about the checks it prepared:

b. A check amounting to P80,000, dated December 20, 2023, was made last
December 1, 2023.
c. Acheck amounting to P60,000, dated January 6, 2024, was made last December
15, 2023.
Required: Determine the adjusted accounts payable as of December 31, 2023.

Solution:
The adjusted balance of accounts payable is computed as follows:
Particulars Amounts Remarks
Unadjusted P1,500,000
Check A 120,000 Unreleased check as of 12/31/23
Check B - Notpostdated as of 12/31/23
Check C 60,000 Postdated as of 12/31/23
Adjusted P1,680,000

PREMATURE OR LATE RECORDING OF INVOICES FROM SUPPLIERS


Based on the current setup of the accounting information systems of many entities,
increase in the accounts payable will be recorded only upon the receipt of
invoice from supplier of goods and services. As a result, in the absence of contrary
information, the receipt of supplier invoice is presumed to be recorded as an
increase in the accounts payable balance.

Pro-forma journal entry to record the receipt of supplier invoice is as follows:


Purchases or other expense account XX
Accounts payable XX

It should be highlighted that we are talking about accounts payable account


and not the inventory account.

There will be some time lags between the incurrence of liability (i.e, the transfer of
legal title) and the actual receipt of invoice (i.e., the recording of liability). The timing
of transfer of the legal title will still depend on the shipping terms, primarily
FOB shipping point and FOB destination. Again, the rules on the timing of transfer
of legal title based on shipping terms are presented as follows:
a. FOB shipping point - on the date of the supplier's shipment of goods
b. FOB destination - on the date of the entity's receipt of goods

Generally, these time lags are very short and do not really affect the entity’s
reported amounts for a particular reporting period.
For example, the legal title over purchased inventories was transferred to the entity
on November 5, 2023. However, the related invoice was received and recorded only

30

Chapter 2 - Accounts Payable and Notes Payable

on November 10, 2023. In this case, even though there is a delay of a few days, the
whole year ending December 31, 2023 will have no accounting issues since both of
the events were recorded during the same accounting period.

However, as of the reporting date, the amounts reported for accounts payable shall
properly reflect the actual amounts of incurred liability as of that date (i.e., cut-off).
Accounting issues will arise from the following examples of scenarios of in-transit
inventories as of December 31, 2023:
Invoice Date Date of
Receivedand Shippedby Receipt of
Scenario Shipping terms Recorded Supplier Inventory
1 FOB shipping point 1/2/24 12/27/28 1/3/24
Z FOB destination 12/30/23 12/29/23 1/4/24
The following corrections shall be made on the above scenarios:
a. For scenario 1, accounts payable shall be recorded as early as December 27,
2023, which is the date the ownership was transferred to the entity when the
goods were shipped (ie., FOB shipping point terms). As a result, accounts
payable as of December 31, 2023 shall be increased.
b. For scenario 2, accounts payable was prematurely recorded on December 30,
2023 upon the receipt of the invoice. However, it shall be recorded only on
January 4, 2024 when the legal title was transferred to the entity upon actual
receipt of the goods (i.e., FOB destination terms). As a result, accounts payable
as of December 31, 2023 shall be decreased.
Let us know answer a more comprehensive problem.
Illustration 4. PABLO Company reported an unadjusted amount of accounts
payable of P2,260,000 as of December 31, 2023. In addition, the following
additional information was also provided:

4 destination 90,000 12/30/23 12/28/23 1/2/24
Required: From the provided information, determine adjusted amount of accounts
payable.
Solution:
The adjusted accounts payable balance is determined by applying the rules on the
timing of transfer of legal title based on shipping terms:

NOTES PAYABLE - INTRODUCTION
This liability arises from a promissory note, as previously described in Volume 1 of
this Intermediate Accounting series. The classification of a note as a receivable or
payable will depend on whose perspective we are looking at:
a. On the perspective of the payee, it is a note receivable
b. On the perspective of the maker, it is a note payable
To reiterate, the maker is the one who creates and signs the promissory note and
obliges itself to pay a specified amount of money at specified date/s in the future.
On the other hand, the payee is to whom the amount stated in the promissory note
is given. This amount may or may not include interest.
For the rest of the chapter, the focus is on the maker's perspective. The maker’s note
payable arises from the issuance of promissory notes for any of the following
purposes:
a. Purchasing of goods on account beyond normal credit terms
b. Acquiring high-cost long-term assets
c. Borrowing of funds
d. Paying damages
Notes payable can either be payable lump-sum on maturity date (i.e, a term notes
payable) or in installments (i.e., a serial notes payable).

NOTES PAYABLE - INITIAL RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT


Since note payable is considered as a financial liability, it shall be initially
measured at fair value asof initial recognition less transaction costs incurred.
Similar to notes receivable, the note payable’s fair value depends on the following:
a. whether the note is interest-bearing or not; and
b. if the note is interest-bearing, whether the stated rate is substantially equal to
market rates.

Similar to notes receivable, the following decision diagram may be of help to the
readers in determining the note’s fair value on initial recognition:

Is the note interest-bearing?

Yes

Stated Rate = Market Rate?

Yes v

Fair value = present value of cash


Fair value is equal to note’s face

initial recognition

Stated rate means the amount of interest that the maker shall pay in addition to
the face amount of the promissory note. Market rate is the general prevailing rate
of return that the investors expect from the investments with similar characteristics
as the promissory note, regardless of whether the note is interest-bearing or not.

As to the present value calculations, the relevant present value factor will depend
on the timing and amount of the cash flows of notes payable. The computations of
these factors were lengthily discussed in the Notes Receivable chapter in the
Volume 1 of this Intermediate Accounting series:

Principal amounts for Notes 1, 2 and 4 are all payable on the relevant maturity dates
while Note 3 is payable in two equal annual installments.
Required: Determine the initial fair value of each note and entries to record them
on initial recognition.

Answer - Note 1
Since the note is interest-bearing and the related stated rate is equal to market rate,
the note’s fair value is P2,000,000. The entry to record the transaction is as follows;
Purchases 2,000,000
Notes payable 2,000,000
There is a debit to Purchases account since all of the notes are issued for the
purchase of inventory.
Answer - Note 2
Since the note is noninterest-bearing, its fair value is computed as the present value
of cash flows using the 6% market rate as the discount rate for 4 periods.
PV Cash Flow
PV Factor of Factor onMaturity§ Fair Value
Single payment for 4 periods at6% 0.792094 — P5,000,000 P3,960,470

PV of single payment was used since the note is payable in lump-sum on its
maturity. The entry to record the transaction is as follows:
Purchases 3,960,470
Discount on notes payable 1,039,530
Notes payable 5,000,000
The readers should take note of the following:
a. Even though the fair value of the note is P3,960,470, the Notes Payable
account is credited equal to its face amount.
b. The amount debited to Discount on notes payable account is equal to the
difference between the note’s face amount and its initial fair value.

Answer - Note 3
The note is noninterest-bearing, so its fair value is computed as the present value
of cash flows using the 7% market rate as the discount rate. However, unlike the

The amount of annual principal payment is computed as P4,000,000/2 years.

The entry to record the transaction is as follows:


Purchases 3,616,036
Discount on notes payable 383,964
Notes payable 4,000,000
Answer - Note 4
Even though this note is interest-bearing, its stated rate (5%) is not substantially
equal to the prevailing market rate (8%). As a result, its fair value is computed as
the present value of principal, as well as the interest payments. In this case, PV
factor of single payment will be used for the amount of principal and PV factor
of ordinary annuity will be used for annual interest payment of P150,000
(P3,000,000 x 5%).

The readers should take note that this is very similar to the computation of the
initial fair value of investment in debt securities.
The entry to record the transaction is as follows:
Purchases 2,768,061
Discount on notes payable 231,939
Notes payable 3,000,000

SUBSEQUENT ACCOUNTING FOR PROMISSORY NOTES


Since the initial recognition is different depending on whether the notes payable is
interest-bearing or noninterest-bearing, subsequent accounting will, consequently,
be different depending on the notes payable:

Interest-Bearing Note with Stated Rate = Market Rate, Payable Lump-Sum


Illustration 6, On January 1, 2023, GUZMAN Company issued an 8% interest-
bearing promissory note with face amount of P5,000,000 and term of three years.
The note was issued on account of the Company’s purchase ofa land. On the same
date, market yields averaged 8%. Required: Determine the journal entries to be
recorded for 2023 and 2024 in relation to the notes.
The note’s fair value on January 1, 2023 is equal to its face amount. On the same
date, the entry to record the issuance of promissory note is as follows:
Land 5,000,000
Notes payable 5,000,000

Recording of interest will result to the following journal entry, to be made both on
December 31, 2023 and 2024:
Interest expense (P5M x 8%) 400,000
Cash 400,000

Interest-Bearing Note with Stated Rate = Market Rate, Payable in Installments


Illustration 7. CAMACHO Company acquired a building on January 1, 2023 fora
total price of P15,000,000. The Company immediately paid P5,000,000 down
payment and issued a 10% interest-bearing promissory note for the balance. This
note is payable in equal installments of P2,500,000 starting from December 31,
2023 until December 31, 2026. Market rates averaged 10% on the issuance date.
Required: Determine the journal entries to be made during 2023 and 2024.
The note’s fair value on January 1, 2023 is equal to its face amount. On the same
date, the entry to record the issuance of promissory note is as follows:

Since the principal is payable in installment basis (i.e., the note payable has
decreasing balance), the amount of interest expense to be paid each year is also
decreasing, as indicated in the following computations:
Beg. Interest Expense Dec. 31 Bal.
Year Balance (Beg. Bal.x10%) (Beg. Bal. - P2.5M)
2023 P10,000,000 P1,000,000 P7,500,000
2024 7,500,000 750,000 5,000,000
2025 5,000,000 500,000 2,500,000
2026 2,500,000 250,000 =i
Again, the basis of interest expense is the beginning-of-the-period balance of the
principal. The journal entries to record the payment of interest and installment
payment of principal on December 31, 2023 are the following:
Interest expense 1,000,000
Cash 1,000,000
Note payable 2,500,000
Cash 2,500,000

The journal entries to record the payment of interest and installment payment of

PROMISSORY NOTES ISSUED DURING THE YEAR


In the previous illustrations, the promissory notes were all issued on January 1 of
each indicated year. However, in real life, promissory notes may also be issued, for
example, on February 1, March 1, March 31 and so on.
These scenarios have the following accounting consequences:
a. Interest-bearing note payable - accrued interest payable shall be recorded every
December 31 of each year. The amount accrued is from the immediately
preceding interest payment date until the December 31 reporting date.
b. Notes payable subject to present value calculations - the carrying amounts
indicated in the amortization table are not automatically the carrying amount as
of each reporting date. Partial amortization of the discount shall be made, which
will also affect the amount of interest expense during each period.
Illustration 11 - Interest-Bearing. On April 1, 2023, MYLENE Company issued a
five-year, 10% interest-bearing promissory note with face amount of P6,000,000 as
payment for an acquired land. Interest is payable every March 31 of each year.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES - FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS
Despite the general requirement to subsequently measure a financial liability at
amortized cost, an entity has an option, on initial recognition, to irrevocably
designate a note payable at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), meeting
either of the following scenarios:
a. The designation eliminates or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition
inconsistency (“accounting mismatch”); or
b. A group of financial liabilities or financial assets and financial liabilities is
managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis. [PFRS 9.4.41].

For example, there is an accounting mismatch if an entity issued a note, bond, or


loan payable to borrow funds and use the proceeds to acquire financial assets at
FVTPL. In this case, there is a mismatch because the asset financed by the
transaction is measured at FVTPL while the financing transaction is measured at
amortized cost. This mismatch will be eliminated if the related note, bond, or loan
payable is also measured at FVTPL.
The accounting consequences of this FVTPL measurement are the following:
a. The liability’s carrying amount shall now be equal to its fair value as of each
reporting date. The following rules are relevant:

Scenario. Consequence
Fair value > Carrying amount | Unrealized loss
Fair value < Carrying amount | Unrealized gain

These unrealized gains and losses are reported in profit or loss. The readers
should take note that these rules are reverse of the rules in the financial assets
at FVTPL.
b. Interest expense is based the liability’s face amount times the stated rate, if any.
c. Transaction costs on the issuance of the liability shall be expensed outright.
d. The readers should take note that this designation does not automatically make
the financial liability as held for trading.

Illustration 13. BUENO Company borrowed P6,000,000 funds by issuing a 7%


interest-bearing note payable with face amount of P6,000,000 on January 1, 2023.
The note has a maturity date of December 31, 2025 and was issued to acquire an
investment in equity securities at FVTPL. As such, the note is irrevocably designated
to be accounted for at FVTPL. Required: Determine the journal entries for 2023 and
2024 assuming the note has a fair value of P6,500,000 and P6,400,000 as of

Note payable (P6.4M - P6.5M) 100,000


Unrealized gain 100,000

There is a gain since there is a decrease in the note payable’s fair value.
EXCEPTIONS TO THE RECOGNITION IN PROFIT OR LOSS
Not all changes in the financial liability’s fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
Changes in the fair value from the changes in the entity’s own credit risk shall be
recognized as addition to or deduction from other comprehensive income.
According to PFRS 7, credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument
will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation.

The reason for this exception is that recognizing these changes in profit or loss will
not provide useful information. This is because the changes in the financial liability’s
fair value due to the changes in the entity's own credit risk are not really realized,
unless the financial liability is held for trading.

Illustration 14. At the beginning of 2023, EMPIRE Company issued a 10% interest-
bearing financial liability with a face amount of P5,000,000. The Company
irrevocably designated to present the changes in the fair value in profit or loss. Fast
forward to December 31, 2023, this liability had a fair value of P5,500,000. This
increase in fair value has arisen from the following:
Market factors P350,000
Entity’s own credit risk 150,000

In this case, the change in the fair value of the financial liability shall be recorded on
December 31, 2023 as follows:

DETERMINING THE CHANGES IN FAIR VALUE ARISING FROM CHANGES IN THE


ENTITY'S OWN CREDIT RISK
In practice, determining the amount of change in fair value due to changes in the
_ entity’s own credit risk involves complex computations. However, a simple
| approach will be discussed in the chapter to give the readers a high-level idea on
this computational exercise.

The following procedures are relevant in determining the changes in fair value from
changes in the entity’s own credit risk:
1. First, determine the fair value of financial liability as of the end of the period by
discounting the remaining cash flows using the market rate as of that date.
2. Determine the portion of the interest rate of return (i.e., stated rate) that is
instrument-specific using the following formula:

Instrument-specific portion of the rate of return = Total rate of return less


benchmark rate as of the date of issuance

Total rate of return is usually equal to the stated rate.

3. Next, determine the present value of remaining cash flows using a discount rate
equal to instrument-specific portion of the rate of return plus benchmark
rate as of the reporting date.

4. Finally, the difference between the present value amount computed in step 3 and
the fair value of the financial liability in step 1 is the amount of change in fair
value arising from the changes in the entity’s own credit risk.

Graphically, this can be shown as follows:

Carrying amount of the liability as of


the beginning of the period
The difference shall be
recognized in profit or loss
Present value using the instrument-
specific rate plus benchmark rate as
of end of the period (Step 3)
The difference shall be
recognized in OCI
Fair value of the liability as of the
end of the period (Step 1)

Illustration 15. On January 1, 2023, HAZE Company issued a P4,000,000 financia


liability with interest rate of 9% (equal to market rates) and maturity date of
December 31, 2027. The liability is to be accounted for at fair value through profit
or loss. Fast forward to December 31, 2023, the market rates averaged 8%
Benchmark rates as of January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 were 6% and 5.50%,
respectively. Required: From the given information, determine the journal entry ty
record the change in the liability’s fair value as of December 31, 2023.
In answering this problem, the following procedures are relevant:
1, First, determine the fair value of the financial liability as of December 31, 2023
using the 8% market rate. Remaining cash flows are for the liability’s four-year
remaining term as of that date, using annual interest of P360,000 (P4M x 9%):

Total Fair Value P4,132,486

Next, determine the instrument-specific portion of the rate of return as follows:


3% = 9% total rate of return less 6% benchmark rate as of January 1, 2023

Next, determine the present value of the remaining cash flows using 8.50% (3%
instrument-specific portion of the rate of return plus 5.50% benchmark rate as of
December 31, 2023):

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Accounts payable arise from the usual credit purchase of inventory items or services
from supplier.
2. The ending balance of the accounts payable is determined as follows:
Accounts Payable
Payments to credit purchases xX xX Beginning balance
Purchase discount XX XX Gross credit purchases
Purchase return or allowances XX
from unpaid credit purchases
Issuance of promissory note for XX
overdue accounts payable
Ending balance (squeeze) XX
Totals (should be equal) XX XX

3. Recorded unreleased checks, stale check and post-dated check made by the entity
shall be added to the reported balance of accounts payable.
4, Late or early recording supplier's invoice will also warrant adjustments to the
reported balance of accounts payable.
5. Notes payable are evidenced by a formal document known as promissory note.
Notes payable is told in the perspective of the note’s maker.
6. On initial recognition, notes payable are measured at their fair values, less
transaction costs. The fair value of the note will depend on its cash flows:
a. The fair value of interest-bearing note, with stated rate = market rate is equal to
its principal amount.
b. The fair value of noninterest-bearing note is equal to its cash flows using the
market rate on date of issue as the discount rate.
c. The fair value of interest-bearing note, with stated rate # market rate is equal to
its cash flows using the market rate on date of issue as the discount rate.
7. Interest expense from 6.a above is equal to the remaining principal amount times
the stated rate. Interest expense from 6.b and 6.c above is equal to the beginning
carrying amount times the market rate on initial recognition (i.e., the effective
interest rate).
8. On initial recognition, an entity may irrevocably designate a financial liability at
FVTPL.
9. Increase in the fair value of financial liability at FVTPL is recognized as unrealized
loss, while the decrease is recognized as unrealized gain, both in profit or loss.
10.As an exception, changes in the fair value of financial liability at FVTPL due to the
changes in the entity’s own credit risk shall be recognized in OCI.

CHAPTER 3
INTRODUCTION TO PROVISIONS
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The different types of obligations and the related accounting and financial
reporting requirements.
The requirements for the recognition of a provision.
WN

The factors to be considered on measuring provision.


The subsequent accounting for provisions, including changes in estimate.
MN &

The financial reporting requirements for contingent assets.

PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES - INTRODUCTION


In the previous chapters, we have discussed liabilities (e.g., accounts payable and
notes payable) from which an entity has a “definite” obligation. Definite in the sense
that the amounts, timing, and identity of the counterparty are all specifically
identifiable without the need of high-level estimates and assumptions.

However, not all liabilities possess these “definiteness” traits and may need
additional analysis and assumptions for their recognition and measurement due to
related uncertainties. These liabilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. Liabilities arising from environmental damage caused by entity’s operations.
b. Claims of damages from faulty or hazardous products sold.
c. Customers’ claims from the entity's warranty over the products sold.
d. Premium liability arising from entity's promotional programs.
e. Asset retirement obligation (including restoration and rehabilitation costs).

The relevant standard in this chapter is the PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities,
and Contingent Assets.
PROVISIONS vs. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
First, it is important to know the major differences between provisions and
contingent liabilities:

Provision Contingent Liabilities


How likely to Probable Below probable but
happen? more than remote
Can the amount be
N
measured reliably? Yes a
Recognize as liability in the Disclosure in the notes
Financial reporting balance sheet plus matching only (not recognized as

Chapter 3 — Introduction to Provisions

“Probable” in this context means more likely than not. If an event has more than
50% chance of happening, it is said to be “probable” since it is understood that
the chance of it not happening is less than 50% (i.e., complement of more than 50%),
“Remote” level of probability in this context shall be determined using judgment
(i.e., no quantitative threshold).

Since provisions involve the recognition and measurement of a liability, this will be
the focus of the chapter.

RECOGNITION OF PROVISIONS
A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount. [PAS 37.10]. A provision |
shall be recognized when all of the following conditions are met:
a. an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past —
event;
b. itis probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation; and
c. areliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If any of these conditions is not met, no provision shall be recognized, but


contingent liability may be disclosed in the notes instead. [PAS 37.14]. Each of these
conditions is subsequently discussed in detail in the succeeding sections.

On the other hand, a contingent liability is:


a. a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the entity; or
b. a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because:
i. it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation; or
ii. the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

CONDITION 1 - PRESENT OBLIGATION AS A RESULT OF PAST EVENT


Obligations are classified into two kinds as follows:
1. Legal obligation - an obligation that derives from
a. acontract (through its explicit or implicit terms);
b. legislation; or
c. other operation of law
2. Constructive obligation - an obligation that derives from an entity’s actions
where:
a. byan established pattern of past practice, published policies, or a sufficiently
specific current statement, the entity has indicated to other parties that it will
accept certain responsibilities; and
b. asaresult, the entity has created a valid expectation on the part of those othe!
parties that it will discharge those responsibilities. [PAS 37.10].

stated in the sales contract (i.e., arising from contract).
b. obligation to make good any hidden defects in the sold products (i.e., arising
from legal provisions of Civil Code, a legislation).
c. obligation arising from damages required to be paid as set in a court decision
(i.e., arising from other operation of law).

The following are examples of constructive obligations:


a. Inthe past decades, an entity distributes 5% of its annual net income as bonuses
to its employees, even though such bonuses are not mentioned in the
employment contract.

In this case, the entity has a constructive obligation based on the established
pattern of past practice and this has created a valid expectation on the part of
employees.
b. One of the entity's manufacturing plants accidentally dumped toxic chemicals in
a nearby river. Currently, there is no law that will make the entity liable for
damages, but the entity has a public statement that it will make good any
damages it had caused. In this case, the entity has a constructive obligation

Each of the foregoing examples is the result of obligating event that creates a legal
or constructive obligation that results in an entity having no realistic alternative to
settling that obligation. [PAS 37.10]. In other words, obligating event is the “trigger”
for an entity to incur an obligation from its actions. In addition, the entity shall have
no choice but to settle the obligation.
Illustration 1. VILLAR Company is currently operating a mine in Davao. On a
routine safety inspection, it was found out that there is a very high chance that toxic
chemicals might spill into a nearby river. There is a law requiring mining entities to
clean up any environmental damage.

Based solely on this information, there is no obligating event since there is no actual
environmental damage from the Company’s mining operations (i.e., no actual spilling
of toxic chemicals). Consequently, the Company does not have an obligation.

Illustration 2. SABADO Company operates a domestic fleet of cargo ships. The


ships are periodically maintained due to relevant regulations, where there is a
tough penalty to be imposed in case one of these ships ran aground and cause an oil
spill. During the year, one of the ships sank and caused a major oil spill.
In this case, there is already an obligating event (i.e., the actual happening of oil
spill); thus, the Company has already an obligation.

Illustration 3. During the year, a new regulation required airline companies,


including LABRADOR Company, to refurbish their aircraft every four years.
Even though there is a legal requirement for the refurbishment, the Company has q
choice not to refurbish its aircraft and buy a new one instead. As a result, the
Company has no obligation for the refurbishment.
However, if the authorities found out that the Company is using its fleet of aircraft
that is not refurbished (i.e., the obligating event), there is now an obligation to pay for
the penalties.

CONDITION 2 - PROBABLE OUTFLOW OF RESOURCES


As previously mentioned, probable means that the likelihood of an event happening
is more likely than the likelihood of it not happening. Quantitatively, to be probable,
the likelihood must be more than 50%.

The level of probability of outflow of economic resources is very much relevant to


court litigations in which the entity is the defendant. The party claiming damages is
called the plaintiff. Compared to our previous examples of obligations, court cases
are not straightforward since they involve the decision of the court judges based on
the evidences presented. As a result, it is necessary to consult with lawyers to
estimate the probability of the entity winning or losing the case since they are the
experts in that field.
Illustration 4. RONQUILLO Company became involved in a court case involving the
alleged health hazards caused by one of its cosmetic products. Lawyers involved in
the same kind of litigation were consulted and gave their estimate of the likelihood
that the Company may win or lose the case. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine whether there is a probable outflow of resources
or not:
1. There is a 90% chance that the entity will lose the case.
2. There is a 60% chance that the entity will lose the case
3. There is a 40% chance that the entity will lose the case.
4, There is a 30% chance that the entity will win the case.
The analysis of these scenarios is as follows:
Scenario Likelihood of losing Verdict
1 90% There is a probable outflow of resources
2 60% There is a probable outflow of resources
3 40% There is no probable outflow of resources
4 70% (1 - 30%) There is a probable outflow of resources

Scenarios 1, 2, and 4 will normally result to a recognition of a provision, provided 4


reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Scenario 3 is a contingent liability
and will just be disclosed in the notes (i.e., not recognized as a liability).

CONDITION 3 - RELIABLE ESTIMATE CAN BE MADE


The recognition of liability inherently requires that a corresponding amount be
measured. Depending on the liability, measuring it can either be simple or
complicated. In extreme cases that a reliable estimate cannot be made, the
obligation is considered as a contingent liability and will just be disclosed in the
notes. Since the measurement of obligation is crucial, extensive discussions of its
applications are presented.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES IN MEASURING THE OBLIGATION


In a general sense, the amount recognized as a provision shall be the best estimate
of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the
reporting period. [PAS 37.36]. The best estimate of the expenditure required to
settle the present obligation is the amount that an entity would rationally pay:
a. to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period; or
b. to transfer it to a third party at that time. [PAS 37.37].
The judgment of entity’s management is the primary basis for the estimate of
obligation’s outcome and financial effects. This judgment may be supplemented by
advice from independent experts and events after the reporting period. —
Generally, the amount of measurement of liability is based on undiscounted
amounts. However, where the effect of the time value of money is material, the
amount of a provision shall be the present value of the expenditures required to
settle the obligation. [PAS 37.45]. The effect of discounting is normally material if
the obligation will be settled more than 12 months after the measurement date.

The discount rate to be used in computing the present value shall be a pre-tax rate
that reflects the following:
a, current market assessments of the time value of money; and
b. the risks specific to the liability. [PAS 37.47].
Illustration 5. Recently, PANES Company became involved in a lawsuit involving
the alleged Company's maltreatment of its employees. Based on the lawyers’ advice,
the best estimate for the amounts that the entity may be liable to is P2,500,000 and
that it is probable that the Company may be held liable. Relevant discount rate is
8%. Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the
initial measurement of the provision:
1. The settlement is expected to happen within 8 months.
2. The settlement is expected to happen after 2 years.

Answer - Scenario 1
The provision shall be measured at nominal amount of P2,500,000 since it will be
settled within 12 months from the measurement date.

SPECIFIC MEASUREMENT GUIDELINES


Specific circumstances call for specific measurement guidelines. Measurement of
obligation may apply one or a combination of the following guidelines:
Expected value
op

Mid-point of range
Events after the reporting period
Plaintiff's offer of out-of-court settlements
moao

Future events
Expected gain

The details of each of these guidelines are to be discussed in the succeeding


subsections.

EXPECTED VALUE METHOD


This method is used when the provision being measured involves a large population
of items. The procedure is to weight all possible outcome amounts by their
associated probabilities. Therefore, the measurement of provision will depend
on the likelihood of a loss happening.

Illustration 6. During the year, a court case was filed against CRISTOBAL Company.
The case is for the alleged explosions of smartphones that the Company is currently
selling. For this plaintiff, it was alleged that the explosion caused physical injuries.
According to the Company’s lawyers, the amount that may be paid to the plaintiff is
P4,000,000. The court is expected to make a decision within the year. Required:
Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the initial measure
of provision, if there is any:
1. There is a 70% chance that the Company will lose the case
2. There is a 55% chance that the Company will lose the case
3. There is a 40% chance that the Company will lose the case

The amounts to be recognized as provision, if any are determined as follows:


Scenario Amountof Provision Remarks
1 P2,800,000 (P4Mx 70%) + (PO x 30%)
2 2,200,000 (P4Mx 55%) + (PO x 45%)
3 None No probable outflow of resources (<50%)
Note: No present value calculations since the amount is expected to be paid within the yeat-

Chapter 3 — Introduction to Provisions

It should be noted that if the Company does not lose the case (or have won the case),
it will not be obligated to pay any amount (i.e., zero). That is the reason why the
likelihood that the entity will not lose the case (i.e., 1 less % chance of losing the
case) is shown to be multiplied to zero.

In addition, the readers should be reminded that if the probability is 50% or less as
in Scenario 3, no provision shall be recognized since it is not probable that there will
be an outflow of economic benefits.

Illustration 7. PRADO Company became involved in a litigation as one of its


delivery trucks was involved in a road accident resulting to multiple physical
injuries and damage to properties. According to the lawyers consulted, there is an
80% chance that the Company will become liable. In case that the Company is
ordered by the court to pay damages, the following amounts and their
corresponding probability are estimated:
Amount P2,000,000 P3,000,000 5,000,000
Probability 35% 45% 20%
Answer:
Visually, using the probability tree diagram, the estimated amount of provision of
P2,440,000 is computed as follows:

35% P2,000,000
P3,050,000 =
(P2M x 35%) + 1 53.000.000
80% 71 (P3M x 45%) + sn0i
(P5M x 20%)
P2,440,000 = 20% P5,000,000
(P3,050,000 x 80%)
+ (POx 20%)

20% ait

Since there is an 80% chance that the Company may be held liable, as a complement,
there is a 20% (1 - 80%) chance that the entity may not be held liable; hence a loss
amount of zero was assigned for the 20% probability.
Most of the time, the computed expected value may be further adjusted upwards
using a risk adjustment factor to account for the possible changes in the cash flow
amounts.
Continuing with the illustration, if the risk factor adjustment is estimated to be 6%,
the expected value amount shall be adjusted to P2,586,400 [P2,440,000 x (1 + 6%)].

MID-POINT OF RANGE
This approach is used when there is a continuous range of possible outcomes, anq
each point in that range is as likely as any other. [PAS 37.39]. The mid-point
amount is computed as follows:

Lower limit amount + Upper limit amount


Mid-point Amount = 5

Illustration 8. During the year, one of GUILLERMO Company's ship capsized ang
caused oil spill. There is no law requiring the Company to clean up the oil spill but
due to international pressure, the Company issued a public statement that it wij
now clean up the oil spill. Based on the Company’s estimate, total clean-up costs can
be anywhere from P6,000,000 up to P9,000,000.

Since all the amounts between P6,000,000 and P9,000,000 have equal probability
of happening, the mid-point amount, at which the provision is initially measured, is
computed as follows:
Mid-point _ _P6,00+ 0,
P9,000
00,00
00_ _ paegg ooo
amount 2

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD


Generally, events that happened after the reporting period shall not affect the
amounts recorded as of a reporting date. For example, if an inventory was
purchased on January 20, 2024 for cash, the transaction shall not increase the
balance of inventory and shall not decrease the balance of cash, both as of December
31, 2023.

However, there are some events after the reporting period that affect the amounts
recognized as of the reporting date (“adjusting events”). They are considered as
such since they merely confirm existing conditions as of the reporting date.

One of these kinds of events is a provision or contingent liability that was settled
after the reporting date. This settlement affects the recognized amounts as of the
reporting date in the following manner:
a. The amount of actual settlement shall be the measurement of the provision
as of the reporting date.
b. The fact that there is an actual settlement confirms that the entity has, in
reality, an existing and probable obligation as of the reporting date. This
mainly is applicable to obligations not initially recognized because it is not
probable that there is an outflow of economic benefits.
More details on the events after reporting period are discussed in the Volume 3 of
this Intermediate Accounting series.

Illustration 9. As of December 31, 2023, DULAY Company estimated that its


obligation from a litigation is P4,500,000. On January 15, 2024, the court ordered
the Company to pay P4,200,000 to the plaintiff. The decision is not appealable and
considered as final.

In this case, the provision shall be measured at P4,200,000 as of December 31, 2023.
Illustration 10. As of the end of 2023, APOSTOL Company did not recognize a
provision related to its obligation from a litigation since it is estimated that there is
only a 30% chance that the Company will lose the case. However, on January 10,
2024, the Company is required by the court to pay P3,000,000 to the plaintiff. The
decision is not appealable and considered as final.

As of December 31, 2023, the provision shall be measured at P3,000,000 since the
actual settlement confirmed the existence of probable obligation. This is regardless of
the initial assessment of 30% chance that the Company will lose the case.
PLAINTIFF'S OFFER OF OUT-OF-COURT SETTLEMENT
A court case can be a lengthy and a costly battle. As a result, a plaintiff may offer to
withdraw its filed complaint in exchange for a private settlement with the entity-
defendant.
The amount of the plaintiff's offer for an out-of-court settlement shall not be solely
considered as the measurement of provision. The reason is that other factors
may affect the actual amount such as the final decision of the court which may be
materially different from the amount of plaintiffs offer.

CONSIDERATION OF FUTURE EVENTS


Future events are relevant to provisions that use the information from the future
periods in determining the amount an entity might ultimately be liable for. The
future information includes, but are not limited to, the following:
a. Technological advances that will affect the costs of settling the obligation in the
future.
b. New legislation is taken into consideration when sufficient objective evidence
exists that the legislation is virtually certain to be enacted.

These future events most probably will affect the measurement of asset retirement
obligations.
Illustration 11. OLIVEROS Company has recently started the commercial
production of its gold mine in Leyte. In connection with this, the Company is
estimating the total amount of rehabilitation and restoration costs of the area when
the mining operations has ended after 10 years. Based on the current technology,
total costs are estimated to be P10,000,000. However, by considering the trajectory

65

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cS CamScanner
Chapter 3 - Introduction to Provisions

of technological advances, total costs are reliably estimated to be just P6,000,000,


Relevant discount rate is 7%
In this case, the provision shall be computed as the present value of P6,000,000 o;
the cost considering future technological advances:
PV Initial
PV Factor of Factor CashFlows Measurement
Single payment for 10 periods at7% 0.508349 = P6,000,000 P3,050,096

EXPECTED GAIN FROM THE DISPOSAL OF AN ASSET


Expected gain from the disposal of an asset shall not be considered in measuring
the amount of provision. The gain shall be recognized only at the time specified
by an accounting standard dealing with the assets concerned. For example, gain on
sale of property, plant and equipment is recognized on the date the control over the
asset has been transferred to the buyer.

INITIAL RECORDING OF PROVISION


Generally, the amount of initially recognized provision is recognized as a loss (i.e,
reported in profit or loss) using the following pro-forma entry:
Loss on provision XX
Provision (estimated liability) _XX

The exceptions to this general rule include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. Asset retirement obligation for wasting assets is included in the measurement of
natural resource asset that will be considered in the computation of depletion.
(Discussed in the Volume 1 Part 2 of this Intermediate Accounting series).
b. Asset retirement obligation that is included in the initial measurement of the
right-of-use assets arising from leases (to be discussed in Chapter 9).
SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT OF PROVISIONS
Generally, the amount of initially recognized provision shall not be changed,
except for the following:
a. For provisions measured at present value, the amount of liability is periodically
increased due to the accretion of interest, which is recognized as interest
expense. By analogy, the concept is similar to the accretion of interest in
noninterest-bearing note payable. Pro-forma journal entry to record the
accretion is as follows:
Interest expense XX
Provision (estimated liability) XX
b. Partial settlement that reduces the carrying amount of provision. The pro-forma
journal entry to record the settlement is as follows:

Provision (estimated liability) XX


Cash XX

c. Changes in the estimated amount of provision


d. Changes in the probability of outflow of economic benefits
Items (c) and (d) are to be discussed in detail in the succeeding sections.

A provision shall be used only for expenditures for which the provision was originally
recognized. [PAS 37.61]. For example, the provision made for environmental
damage shall not debited if an entity settles its obligation related to the damages
that its product caused to its customers.

Illustration 12. As of December 31, 2023, SANTILLAN Company properly


estimated that it will incur P5,000,000 for the restoration and rehabilitation of one
of its oil fields. These restoration costs will be incurred after 4 years. Relevant
discount rate is 9%. The initial amount of provision is computed as follows:
PV Initial
PV Factor of Factor CashFlows Measurement
Single payment for 4 periods at9% 0.708425 P5,000,000 P3,542,126

The subsequent carrying amounts of the provision as ofthe end of each year for the
next four years are the following, assuming no changes in the estimate:
Date Interest Expense Carrying Amount
Dec. 31, 2023 3,542,126
Dec. 31, 2024 318,791 3,860,917
Dec, 31, 2025 347,483 4,208,400
Dec. 31, 2026 378,756 4,587,156
Dec, 31, 2027 412,844 5,000,000

The readers should take note of these computations:


a. Interest expense is computed as provision’s beginning-of-the-period
carrying amount x 9% discount rate.
b. Carrying amount is equal to beginning-of-the-period carrying amount plus
interest expense for that period.

CHANGES IN THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF PROVISIONS


Provisions shall be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to
reflect the current best estimate. [PAS 37.59]. Changes in the estimated amount of
provisions are generally recorded as either a gain or loss in the entity’s profit or
loss during the period of change. In other words, it is considered as a change in
accounting estimate and shall be accounted prospectively (i.e, previously
reported amounts during the prior periods shall not be revised).

Scenario Gain or Loss


Increase in provision Loss
Decrease in provision Gain

The exception is for asset retirement obligations where the changes affect the
carrying amount of related natural resource asset for wasting asset entities (see
Volume 1 of this Intermediate Accounting series) or the carrying amount of the
right-of-use asset for leases (see Chapter 9).

Illustration 13. At the end of 2022, ABALOS Company recognized a provision at


P6,400,000. As of December 31, 2023, there were changes in the estimates resulting
to changes in the amount of the provision. Accretion of interest for the year 2023
amounted to P100,000. Under each of the following independent ‘scenarios,
determine the journal entry to record the change in the amount of provision:
1. Provision should be P7,000,000 as of December 31, 2023
2. Provision should be P6,250,000 as of December 31, 2023

Answer - Scenario 1
The carrying amount of the provision right before the change in estimate shall be
determined as P6,500,000 (P6,400,000 plus P100,000 accretion of interest). In this
scenario, there is an increase in the provision amounting to P500,000 (P7,000,000 -
P6,500,000). The entry to record the Joss is as follows:
Loss on provision 500,000
Provision (estimated liability) 500,000

Answer - Scenario 2
There is a decrease in the provision amounting to P250,000 (P6,250,000 -
P6,500,000). The entry to record the gain is as follows:
Provision (estimated liability) 250,000
Gain on reduction of provision 250,000

CHANGES IN THE PROBABILITY OF OUTFLOW OF ECONOMIC BENEFITS


It has been established that a provision shall be recognized if it is at least probable
that there is an outflow of economic benefits. If the likelihood is below “probable” 4
contingent liability will only be disclosed. However, in cases where there are
changes in the probability of outflow of economic benefits, these are considered
as changes in accounting estimates and shall be accounted prospectivel¥
(previously reported amounts during prior periods shall not be restated).

There are cases wherein no provision was recognized during the prior periods)
(because probability is <50%), but during the current period, it became probable
that there is an outflow of economic benefits (i.e., possible > probable). In suck,
cases, the following accounting procedures shall be made;

68

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders

Nevule cs CamScanner
CamScanner
Chapter 3 — Introduction to Provisions

a. aprovision shall be recognized during the current period


b. a corresponding loss shall be recognized during the current period even
though the obligation arose from prior periods.

The opposite is also true wherein provision may have been recognized during the
prior periods (because probability is more than 50%), but during the current period
it only became possible that there is an outflow of economic benefits (i.e., probable
> possible). In such cases, the following accounting procedures shall be made:
a. the provision shall be reversed during the current period
b. a corresponding gain on reversal of provision shall be recognized during the
current period.
Illustration 14. During 2022, QUINTO Company became involved in a court
litigation alleging that the food it sells is the cause of widespread food poisoning. As
of December 31, 2022, it was reliably assessed that it is only possible that the
Company will be held liable for P4,800,000 damages. However, as of December 31,
2023, it was reliably assessed that it became probable that the Company will be
held liable for P5,200,000 damages.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company shall only disclose a contingent liability.
However, on December 31, 2023, the Company shall recognize a provision based on
the updated estimate of P5,200,000 by making the following journal entry:
Loss on provision 5,200,000
Provision (estimated liability) 5,200,000

Again, a loss on provision shall be recognized in 2023 even though the obligating
event arose from 2022. This is the prospective application of change in estimates.

SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS OF PROVISIONS


Provisions can be applied to the following specific circumstances:
a. future operating losses
b. onerous contracts
c. restructuring
d. warranties and premiums (to be discussed in Chapters 4 and 5)

FUTURE OPERATING LOSSES


Provisions shall not be recognized for future operating losses. [PAS 37.63].
Operating losses are recognized during the period they are incurred.

ONEROUS CONTRACTS
An onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the
obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be
received under it. [PAS 37.10].

Provision arising from onerous contracts shall be the lower of the following:
69

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cs CamScanner
CamScanner
Chapter 3 — Introduction to Provisions

a. costs of fulfilling the onerous contract; and


b. any compensation or penalties arising from the failure to fulfill the onerous
contract

The Interpretations Committee has clarified that the costs of fulfilling the contract
include both the incremental costs and allocated costs.

Illustration 15. During the earlier part of 2023, MONTERO Company entered into
a noncancelable purchase commitment for the purchase of 100,000 of ABC mode]
computer chips in 2024 at a fixed price of P20/chip. If the Company would cance]
the contract, it should pay P1,100,000 penalty. During the latter parts of 2023, a
new computer chip was discovered rendering the ABC model worthless.
As of December 31, 2023, the contract is considered as onerous. An entity shall
recognize a provision of P1,100,000 (i.e., penalty amount) since this is lower than
the costs of fulfilling the contract amounting to P2,000,000 (100,000 x P20).

RESTRUCTURING - GENERAL CONCEPTS


A restructuring is a program that is planned and controlled by management and
materially changes either:
a. the scope ofa business undertaken by an entity; or
b. the manner in which that business is conducted. [PAS 37.10].
The following are examples of events that may fall under the definition of
restructuring:
a. sale or termination ofa line of business;
b. the closure of business locations in a country or region or the relocation of
business activities from one country or region to another;
c. changes in management structure, for example, eliminating a layer of
management; and
d. fundamental reorganizations that have a material effect on the nature and focus
of the entity’s operations. [PAS 37.70].

A constructive obligation to restructure arises only when an entity:


a. has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring identifying at least:
i. the business or part of a business concerned;
ii. the principal locations affected;
iii. the location, function, and approximate number of employees who will be
compensated for terminating their services;
iv. the expenditures that will be undertaken; and
v. when the plan will be implemented; and
b. has raised a valid expectation for those affected that it will carry out the
restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its mail
features to those affected by it. [PAS 37.72].

No obligation arises for the sale of an operation until the entity is committed to the
sale, (i.e., there is a binding sale agreement). [PAS 37.78].

Illustration 16. During 2023, the Board of Directors of ALFONSO Company decided
to terminate their operations in a foreign country starting in 2024. There is already
a detailed formal plan for the restructuring, and the plan was already
communicated to the employees in the foreign country.
In this case, as of December 31, 2023, the Company has already incurred a
constructive obligation by announcing the plan to the employees affected. As a
result, a provision for restructuring shall be recognized as of December 31, 2023
even though the restructuring will be actually implemented in 2024.
Illustration 17. On the September 2023 monthly meeting, the Board of Directors
of UMALI Company decided to close down one of its factories in Davao effective July
1, 2024. There is already a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and the plan
was already announced through a press release. The Company is yet to
communicate the plan to the employees affected.
In this case, as of December 31, 2023, the Company has already incurred a
constructive obligation by announcing the plan publicly. For sure, this
announcement has reached the affected employees. As a result, a provision for
restructuring shall be recognized as December 31, 2023.

Illustration 18. During the year 2023, the Board of Directors of CAMPOS Company
decided to terminate its smartphone-making division located in foreign country
effective April 1, 2024. There is already a detailed formal plan for the restructuring
and the plan was already announced to the officers in the corporate headquarters.

In this case, as of December 31, 2023, the Company has not


incurred
yet a
constructive obligation since the plan was announced only to employees in
provision
corporate headquarters and not to the employees affected. As a result, no
for restructuring shall be recognized as December 31, 2023.

RESTRUCTURING- MEASUREMENT OF PROVISION


A restructuring provision shall include only the direct expenditures arising from
the restructuring, which are those that are both:
a. necessarily entailed by the restructuring; and
b. not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity. /PAS 37.80].
A restructuring provision does not include such costs as:
a. retraining or relocating continuing staff;
b. marketing;
c. investment in new systems and distribution networks; or

Illustration 19. In September 2023, CONSTANTINO Company decided to cease its
commercial operations in Country A effective July 1, 2024. This is the result of the
long-term plan to introduce commercial operations in Country B. In connection
with this, the following amounts were determined:
Estimated payments to be made for immediately terminated
employees (i.e., redundancy payments) P2,400,000
Estimated operating loss from 1/1/24 to 7/1/24 3,000,000
Salaries of employees remaining in Country A from 1/1/24
to 7/1/24 to cater the remaining business transactions 1,200,000
Costs of dismantling equipment that will not be used
subsequently in Country B 400,000
Costs of dismantling equipment that will be transferred to
Country B 500,000
Costs of relocating and installing valuable equipment to
Country B 750,000
Airfare for the transfer of valuable employees to Country B 300,000
Costs of training new employees in Country B 250,000
Estimated capital expenditures to establish commercial
operations in Country B 5,000,000
Salaries of employees in Country B from 1/1/24 to 7/1/24 2,000,000
Marketing costs to promote operationsinCountryB 800,000
Costs of decommissioning the existing factory in Country A 600,000

From the given data, total restructuring provision shall be recognized as follows:

Estimated payments to be made for immediately terminated


employees (i.e., redundancy payments) P2,400,000 :
Costs of dismantling equipment that will not be used
subsequently in Country B 400,000 '
Costs of decommissioning the existing factory in Country A 600,000
ees
Restructuring provision to be recognized, 12/31/23 P3,400,000

Note: All of the other costs are not considered because they are part of the ongoing
activities of the Company, including future operating losses.

CONTINGENT ASSETS
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose
existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one of
more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. [ PAS §
37.10]. ,
Contingent assets normally arise from the following: :
72

The
The Book
Book R̶Readexs-Raiders
e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cS CamScanner
Chapter 3 — Introduction to Provisions

a. Claims of damages/compensation arising from a filed lawsuit (in this case, the
entity is the plaintiff).
b. Insurance claims from the insurer.
c. Reimbursement of amounts paid.
Similar to contingent liabilities, accounting for contingent assets primarily depends
on the likelihood of outcome:
Likelihood Contingent Assets | Contingent Liabilities
Virtually certain Recognize as asset | Recognize as provision
Probable Disclosure only | Recognize as provision
Possible No disclosure permitted Disclosure only
Remote No disclosure permitted | No disclosure required

As the readers may have noted, the required level of likelihood for contingent
assets is one notch higher compared to the contingent liabilities. In other
words, a provision is recognized if the likelihood is at least probable, but an asset is
recognized only when it is virtually certain.
As to reimbursements, the following are the financial reporting requirements:

Financial statement Presentation


Statement of financial Presented as a separate asset and shall not be offset
position (balance sheet) | against the related provision (or liability).
The loss from provision may be presented net of the
Income statement
income amount recognized for the reimbursement asset

The recognition of a contingent asset, whose receipt is virtually certain, has the
following pro-forma entry:

Receivable XX
Other income or gain XX

Illustration 20. BAYLON Company (i.e., plaintiff) filed a lawsuit for an alleged
patent infringement of its competitor (i.e., defendant). Before the end of the current
year, a regional court decided in favor of the Company and initially ordered the
defendant to pay P5,000,000 damages. However, the court decision is currently on
appeal by the defendant.

As of the end of the current year, the Company shall not recognize an asset since the
initial decision in its favor might be later on overturned (i.e., not virtually certain to
be received).

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount.
2. Aprovision shall be recognized when all of the following conditions are met:
a. an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event;
b. itis probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation; and
c. areliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Absence of any of these conditions will result to non-recognition of the liability.

3. An obligation that is not recognized as a provision shall be disclosed only in the


financial statements, except when the likelihood is remote.
4. Obligating event creates a legal or constructive obligation that results in an entity
having no realistic alternative to settling that obligation.
5. There are two types of obligation, legal, and constructive obligation.
6. Probable means more likely than not or more than 50% likelihood. No obligation
shall be recognized if the likelihood is 50% or lower.
7. The amount recognized as a provision shall be the best estimate of the expenditure
required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The
management's judgment is the primary basis for the estimate of the obligation.
8. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision
shall be the present value of the expenditures required to settle the obligation.
9, Expected value method is used when the provision being measured involves a large
population of items. The procedure is to weight all possible outcome amounts by
their associated probabilities.
10.The mid-point approach is used when there is a continuous range of possible
outcomes, and each point in that range is as likely as any other.
11.Events after the reporting period may be used in measuring a provision or
recognizing a provision as of the reporting date.
12, Future events may be considered in estimating the amount of provision.
13. Expected gain from the disposal of an asset shall not be considered in measuring the
amount of provision.
14.Provisions are generally charged to profit or loss, except those related to wasting
asset operations and right-of-use asset.
15.For provisions measured at present value, the amount of liability is periodically
increased due to accretion of interest, which is recognized as interest expense.
16.Changes in the estimate of the provision shall be accounted prospectively (i.e.,
previously reported amounts are not affected). The effects of the change are
generally recognized in the current period’s profit or loss.
17.Changes in the probability of outflow of economic benefits are also accounted
prospectively. The effects of the change are generally recognized in the current
period’s profit or loss.
18, Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
19. The amount of the provision to be recognized from onerous contracts shall be the
lower of the following:
74

The

Chapter 3 — Introduction to Provisions

a. costs of fulfilling the onerous contract; and


b. any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfill the onerous contract
20.A restructuring is a program that is planned and controlled by management, and
materially changes either:
a. the scope ofa business undertaken by an entity; or
b. the manner in which that business is conducted.
21.Generally, no provision is recognized until the restructuring plan has started to be
implemented or it had been announced to those affected by it
22.A restructuring provision shall include only the direct expenditures arising from the
restructuring, which are those that are both:
a. necessarily entailed by the restructuring; and
b. not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity.
23.A restructuring provision does not include such costs as:
retraining or relocating continuing staff;
op

marketing;
investment in new systems and distribution networks; or

CHAPTER 3: SELF-TEST EXERCISES

True or False
1, Provisions are recorded as liabilities while contingent liabilities are disclosed only
in the notes to the financial statements.
Z Probable means at most 50% likelihood of happening.
3. If a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made, no liability shall be
recognized even if the likelihood is probable.
An obligation arising from contract is considered as a constructive obligation.
U1

The amount recognized for the provision shall be the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation.

outcomes, and each point in that range is as likely as any other.
Mid-point of range method is used when the provision being measured involves a
large population of items.
Actual settlement of a provision after the reporting date may be considered in
determining the carrying amount of the provision as of the reporting date.
Expected proceeds from the disposal of an asset shall be recognized as a receivable,
even though the control is not yet transferred to the buyer.
10. Generally, the amount of provision shall be recognized as loss in the entity’s profit
or loss.
11. Changes in the estimate of provision shall result to the restatement of previously
reported financial information related to prior years.
a2: Restructuring provision shall exclude costs associated with the ongoing activities
of the entity operations.

e. A common carrier entity is legally required to periodically replace the tires of its
fleet of provincial buses every five years as a precondition for the renewal of its
franchise. As of December 31, 2023, there are still three years before the required
replacement of tires. Costs of tire replacement after three years are estimated at
P2,000,000. Relevant discount rate is 8%.
As of December 31, 2023, based on the current state of an entity's mining
operations, it is probable that an environmental damage will happen in few
months’ time. Local regulation requires the reparation of such damages. In case
there is an actual environmental damage, costs to rehabilitate the affected are
estimated to be P3,000,000.

2. Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the journal entry to

Company on account of its labor practices that are detrimental to its employees.

Based on the Company’s assessment, there is a 30% chance that it will not be held
liable for damages. In cases the Company will be held liable, there is a 40%
probability that it will pay P8,000,000, 40% probability that it will pay P6,000,000
and 20% probability that it will pay P5,000,000. Due to lengthy legal procedures
involving labor cases, the Company estimates that it will pay the plaintiff after three
years.

In addition, the Company incorporated a 10% upward cash flow adjustment to


account for the possible differences between the estimated cash outflows and the
amount of actual cash outflows. Relevant discount rate is 9%.

Fast forward to December 31, 2024, things became clearer with the Company being
able to make its best estimate of its obligation at P7,000,000, to be incurred after
two years. In addition, there is now a 100% chance that the Company will be held
liable for damages. Relevant discount rate is 8%.

CHAPTER 4
WARRANTIES
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The concept of warranty.
2. The different types of warranty for accounting purposes.
3. The recognition and measurement of warranty expense and liability.
4. The analysis of the warranty liability account.

WARRANTIES - INTRODUCTION
To protect their names and reputations, entities spend resources for the quality
control of their products. This is to increase the chance that no defective product
will be sold to the market. However, no quality control process is perfect and some
of the defective (or below the standards) products are sold to the consumers.

To address this, an entity may introduce a warranty program covering the


products it sells. The readers may have heard of this term usually when they are
buying gadgets (e.g., smartphones and laptops). In warranty, the manufacturer of
the product bind itself that it will make good, free of charge, specified defects
that occurred over a specified period of time in the products sold.

The manufacturer may either repair the product or replace it with a new one,
without charging any fees to the customer. This is to lend confidence to customers
that their money will not be put in vain in case the product sold becomes defective.

In addition, there are also cases when some entities deliberately sell defective,
counterfeit, or fake products to earn more profits. To address this, there is this
Article 1561 from the Civil Code of the Philippines, to wit:

“The seller shall be responsible for warranty against the hidden defects which the
thing sold may have, should the defect render it unfit for its intended use, or if the
defect diminishes its fitness for such use to such an extent that, had the buyer been
aware of such defect, he would have purchased it for a lower price, or not have
purchased it at all.”

Lastly, an entity may also offer additional warranty coverage for a fee, which covers
a broader scope compared to the usual warranty it offers voluntarily and/or based
on legal requirements. This form of warranty is called the “service-type” warranty.

ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION OF WARRANTIES


The first step is to identify the type of warranty for accounting purposes which ;,
either of the following:
a. Assurance-type warranty
b. Service-type warranty

Illustration 1. An entity provides warranty to the gadgets that it is selling. Under


each of the following independent scenarios, determine the classification of the
warranty:
1. The warranty is only provided because it is required by law.
2. The warranty covers a period longer than the usual warranty period in the
industry.
3. Customers do not have the option to separately acquire warranty services
4. The warranty covers a period on par with the industry average.
Answer:
Scenarios 1, 3 and 4 are more likely assurance-type warranties, while Scenario 2
is more likely a service-type warranty.

Chapter 4 — Warranties

ACCOUNTING FOR ASSURANCE-TYPE WARRANTY


Based on the provisions of PAS 37, assurance-type warranty shall be accounted for
as follows:
a. Expense is recognized during the period of sale for the estimated warranty
costs, regardless of the period when these warranty costs were actually incurred.
b. A corresponding provision (i.e, estimated warranty liability) shall be
recognized for every amount of expense recognized. Together with the
estimated warranty expense amount, the following pro-forma entry shall be
made in initially recognizing the estimated warranty liability:
Estimated warranty expense XX
Estimated warranty liability XX
The amount of liability is reduced by the actual amount of warranty costs incurred
as shown in the pro-forma journal entry below:
Estimated warranty liability XX
Cash XX

Using a t-account, the transactions affecting the estimated warranty liability


account are analyzed as follows:
Warranty Liability
Actual warranty costs XX XX Beginning balance
Ending balance (squeeze) XX XX Estimated warranty expense
Totals (should be equal) XX XX |

In estimating the warranty amounts, the same principles in the measurement of


provisions in the previous chapter shall also be followed (i.e., best estimate, expected
value, midpoint of range, etc.). Specifically, there are a lot of ways to describe the
amount of estimated warranty costs, but these can be classified into any of the
following major categories:
a. Warranty cost per unit
b. Warranty cost as a percentage of revenues or sales
c. Warranty cost as net costs of providing a replacement product. In this case, the
amount of warranty cost per unit is computed as follows:
Cost of replacement product PXxx
Less: Net realizable value of defective product, ifthereisany Xx
“Loss” to be absorbed by the entity Pxx
Add: Handling costs (e.g., shipping) shouldered by the entity XX
Total warranty cost per unit of replacement product PXx

Illustration 2 - Basic Case. MALINAO Company sold 100,000 units of its product
during 2023, its first year of operations. It is expected that 5% of these will have
defects that need to be rectified at an estimated warranty cost of P500/unit. Also,
actual warranty costs of P1,800,000 were incurred during the year.

The estimated warranty expense for 2023 is computed as P2,500,000 (100,000


unitsx 5% x P500).
The entry to record the estimated warranty expense and corresponding liability:
Estimated warranty expense 2,500,000
Estimated warranty liability 2,500,000

The entry to record the actual incurrence of warranty costs:


Estimated warranty liability 1,800,000
Cash 1,800,000

Based on these journal entries, the estimated warranty liability as of December 31,
2023 shall be determined as follows:
Warranty Liability
Actual warranty costs | P1,800,000 P- | Beginning balance
Ending balance (squeeze) 700,000 | 2,500,000 | Warranty expense
Totals (should be equal) | P2,500,000 | P2,500,000

It should be noted that the warranty expense for the period is not
necessarily
equal to the amount of actual warranty costs incurred during the period.
Instead, this estimated warranty expense amount also includes the warranty costs
that are expected to be incurred in the future.

Illustration 3 - Basic Case Based on Revenue. At the beginning of 2023, FRANCO


Company reported estimated warranty liability of P350,000. During the same year,
the Company reported total sales of P15,000,000. Based on the Company’s past
experience, 4% of the related sales amount will be a reliable estimate of actual
warranty costs in the future. Actual warranty costs incurred P650,000.
The estimated warranty expense for 2023 shall be computed as P600,000
(P15,000,000
x 4%):
The entry to record the estimated warranty expense and corresponding liability:
Estimated warranty expense 600,000
Estimated warranty liability 600,000
The entry to record the actual incurrence of warranty costs:
Estimated warranty liability 650,000

Illustration 4, During 2023, CALDERON Company’s second year of operations, the


Company sold 200,000 units of its product. According to the Company’s estimates,
units that will be repaired under the warranty program is as follows: 4% sold units
within one year from the date of sale and 3% of sold units beyond one year from
the date of sale. Warranty cost per unit is estimated to be P200. Actual warranty
costs incurred during 2023 amounted to P2,550,000, while beginning balance in
warranty liability amounted to P750,000.
The estimated warranty expense for 2023 shall be determined as P2,800,000
[200,000 unitsx (4% + 3%) x P200]:
It should be noted that regardless of the timing of when the warranty costs will
be actually incurred, the related total estimated warranty costs shall be
immediately recognized as expense during the period when the related
products were sold.
Based on these journal entries, the estimated warranty liability as of December 31,
2023 shall be determined as follows:
Warranty Liability
Actual warranty costs | P2,550,000 | P750,000 | Beginning balance

Illustration 5 - Expected Value. QUIJANO Company sold 250,000 units during


2023. The Company expects that 3% of these will have minor defects and that 1%
will have major defects (i.e., 96% of the units are expected to have no defects).
Repair costs are estimated to average P200/unit for minor defects while it is
P700/unit for major defects. Actual warranty costs incurred during the year
amounted to P3,100,000 while beginning warranty liability amounted to P800,000.

The estimated warranty expense for 2023 shall be computed as follows:


Warranty costs from non-defective units (250,000 x 96% x PO) P-
Warranty costs from minor defects (250,000 x 3% x P200) 1,500,000
Warranty costs from major defects (250,000 x 1% x P700) 1,750,000

Illustration 6 - Provision of Replacement Product. VELASQUEZ Company offers


a replacement product in its warranty program as its products are always beyond
repair when they become defective. Manufacturing costs per unit averaged P300
while net realizable value of defective units from customers averaged P50/unit. In
addition, the Company shoulders the cost of shipment to and from customers which
averages P75/unit.
During 2023, the Company sold 150,000 units, 2% of which are expected to be
replaced. Also, during the year, 2,700 units were replaced. Beginning-of-the-period
warranty liability amounted to P162,500.

The estimated warranty expense per unit is computed as follows:


Cost of replacement product P300

WARRANTIES WITH EXPIRATION


So far, the warranties discussed were without corresponding expiration dates.
However, in real life, warranty coverage has their expiration wherein the most
common of which is a one-year warranty coverage. In these cases, the expired
warranty amounts are reported as reduction from both estimate warranty
expense during the period of expiration and estimated warranty liability.

However, to be able to identify the amount of expired warranties, the amount of


actual warranty costs shall indicate the year of sale of the products to which
they relate.

CHANGES IN WARRANTY ESTIMATES


Warranty estimates may change due to many factors which include, but are not
limited to, the following:
a. Changes in entity’s quality control, which can be either of the following:
1. Improvement in quality control will decrease estimated warranty costs.
2. Decline in quality control will increase estimated warranty costs
b. Changes in expected repair costs, which can be either of the following:
1. Increase in repair costs will increase estimated warranty costs.
2. Decrease in repair costs will decrease estimated warranty costs.

ACCOUNTING FOR SERVICE-TYPE WARRANTY UNDER PFRS 15


For this type of warranty, the following accounting procedures are relevant:
a. Allocate a portion of the transaction price (i.e., total selling price) for the
warranty. The amount allocated is usually based on the relative stand-alone
selling prices of the product sold and warranty services.
In connection with this allocation, the following formulas may be used:
Allocation to Transaction , __ Stand-alone selling price of goods sold
SoldGoods ~ Price Total of stand-alone selling prices of
goods sold and warranty

Allocation to _ Transaction ¥ Stand-alone selling price of warranty


Warranty Price Total of stand-alone selling prices of
goods sold and warranty

This allocation shall be made since there are two performance obligations: the
selling of goods and the provision of warranty services.
b. The allocated amount to the warranty shall be initially recognized as a contract
liability (i.e., unearned warranty liability).
c. The contract liability is normally recognized as an income on a straight-line
basis over the warranty period.
d. The amounts of actual warranty costs are expensed during the period they
were incurred.

Chapter 5 — Premiums, Rebates, Discounts and Other Deferred Income Items

CHAPTER 5
PREMIUMS, REBATES, DISCOUNTS, AND OTHER
DEFERRED INCOME ITEMS
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The accounting for premiums by applying PAS 37 and PFRS 15.
2. The accounting for rebates, discounts, and gift certificates.
3. The accounting for customer loyalty programs assuming the entity is acting as
the principal or acting as the agent.

PREMIUMS - INTRODUCTION
To boost its sales, an entity may have special offers to its customers in the form of
sales incentives, discount vouchers, and other free items (i.e., premiums).
Depending on the business of the entity, the following are examples of premiums:
a. Special kitchen utensils for a manufacturer of canned goods.
b. Special mugs for a brewery or instant coffee manufacturer.
c. Annual planner for a luxurious brand of coffee.

These items of premiums shall be useful to the customers to entice them to really
do the effort of following the terms and conditions of the promotion. These terms
and conditions contain some or all of the following elements:
a. Inclusion of coupons, vouchers, or their equivalent in every product sold. A
portion of the product sold may also satisfy this element, such as bottle caps.
b. A specified number of coupons or vouchers are presented to redeem the
premiums, free of charge.
c. An amount of cash may also be collected from the customers. In effect, in this
case, the premium is effectively a discount.

ACCOUNTING FOR PREMIUMS - A COMPARISON


Before the effectivity of the accounting standard PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers, premiums are generally accounted for under PAS 37 (i.e., as 2
provision). However, starting January 1, 2018, the date of effectivity of PFRS 15, the
accounting for premiums became such a grey area because of the differing opinions
among academicians.

The different accounting treatments can generally be compared as follows:

The author humbly submits that the PFRS 15 approach is more acceptable in
accounting for premiums since this is in line with what is being followed in practice
across different accounting firms, which are the future workplace of the readers.

ACCOUNTING FOR PREMIUMS UNDER PAS 37


Under PAS 37, the following are accounting procedures for premiums:
a. Recognition of expense and corresponding liability (i.e, premium liability)
during the year of sale of the related products as indicated in the following
pro-forma entry:
Estimated premium expense XX
Estimated premium liability XX

Estimated premium expense = “expense or liability per unit” x total


number of premiums expected to be redeemed.
b. The amount of expense or liability per unit of premium is computed as
follows:
o

Unit cost of item to be distributed as premiums Pxx


Add: Handling costs (e.g., shipping and other fees), if any xx
Less: Amounts to be received from redeeming customers, if any XX
Expense or liability per unit of premium Pxx

c. The total number of premiums expected to be redeemed is computed as


follows:
Number of coupon or voucher included per unit of sold product XX
Multiply by: Total number of sold products _XX_
Total number of coupons (or its equivalent) distributed XX
Multiply by: Portion expected to be presented for redemption hh
Total number coupons expected to be redeemed XX
Divide by: Number of coupons needed for one item of premium =_XX_
Total number of premium items expected to be redeemed XX

d. Premiums purchased are considered as prepaid asset and normally recorded in


an account named as “Premium inventory”. Despite this account name, these
items shall not be included in the entity’s inventory balance.
e, The distribution of premiums reduces the amounts of premium liability
and premium inventory. This also affects other accounts as indicated in the
following pro-forma journal entry:
Estimated premium liability XX
Cash (from customers, if any)
Premium inventory XX
Cash (for handling costs, if any) XX

f. In summary, the transactions affecting the premium liability account are the
following:
Premium Liability
Actual redemption XX XX Beginning balance
Ending balance (squeeze) XX XX Premium expense
Totals (should be equal) XX XX

Illustration 1. During 2023, GERONIMO Company’s first year of operations, it


offered a sales promotional program wherein it included one coupon for each unit
of its product. Five of these coupons plus P20 shall be presented to redeem a special
wall clock with cost of P120/unit. Handling costs are estimated to be P15 per unit.
For the year, the Company was able to sell 200,000 units of its product (at P190.80
unit selling price) but expects that only 40% of the coupons will be presented for
redemption. A total of 16,500 wall clocks were acquired and by the end of 2023,
12,500 of these were distributed to customers.

In this case, the amount of expense/liability per unit of premium is computed as


follows: °
Unit cost of item to be distributed as premiums P120
Add: Handling costs (e.g., shipping and other fees) 15
Less: Amounts to be received from redeeming customers (20)
Expense/liability per unit of premium P115

Total number of coupons distributed — 200,000
Multiply by: Portion expected to be presented for redemption 40% _
Total number coupons expected to be redeemed 80,000
Divide by: Number of coupons needed for one item of premium _

The amount of estimated premium expense can now be computed as P1,840,000


(P115 x 16,000). journal entry to recognize this is as follows:
Estimated prem. expense 1,840,000
Estimated prem. liability 1,840,000

The purchase of wall clocks is recorded as follows:


Premium inventory 1,980,000
Cash (16,500 x P120) 1,980,000

Journal entry to record the customers’ redemption of 12,500 clocks is as follows:


Estimated prem. liab. (12.5KxP115) 1,437,500
Cash (12,500 x P20) 250,000
Premium invty. (12,500 x P120) 1,500,000
Cash - for handling (12,500 x P15) 187,500

The ending balance of premium liability is computed as follows:


Premium Liability
Actual redemption | P1,437,500 P- | Beginning balance
Ending balance (squeeze) 402,500 | 1,840,000 | Premium expense
Totals (should be equal) | P1,840,000 | P1,840,000

Looking at the revenue side, the amount of gross sales revenue that the Company
shall recognize is P38,160,000 (200,000 units x P190.80).

ACCOUNTING FOR PREMIUMS UNDER PFRS 15


Earlier, it was mentioned that under PFRS 15, the distribution of premiums to
customers is a distinct performance obligation. This is primarily because it is an
option to acquire additional goods that provides a material right to the customer that
it would not receive without entering in the related sales contract in the first place.
[PFRS 15.B40].

For premiums, the material right given to the customer can be in either of the
following forms:
a. acquisition of premium items, free of charge, by just presenting a specified
number of coupons; or
b. acquisition of premium items at a relatively low amount, by just presenting a
specified number of coupons plus specified amount of cash.

Without the original sale transaction, customers cannot get hold of any coupons,
which in turn make them unable to redeem the items offered as premiums. Asa result
of this, the following are the relevant accounting procedures for premiums under
PFRS 15:

Chapter 5 — Premiums, Rebates, Discounts and Other Deferred Income Items

a. The transaction price (number of units sold x unit selling price) shall be
allocated between goods sold and contract liability - premiums.
The allocation of transaction price is generally based on the relative stand-
alone selling prices of the goods and the premiums. The amount of stand-
alone selling price of the goods is readily determinable; however, the stand-
alone selling price of the premiums shall be estimated.
b. The estimated stand-alone selling price of premiums is equal to the
amount of discount adjusted by the likelihood that the coupons will be
redeemed. /PFRS 15.B42]. The computation of the stand-alone selling price of
premiums is indicated in the following formula:
Discount per unit of premium Pxx
Multiply by: Expected number of premiums to be redeemed XX
Estimated stand-alone selling price of premiums Pxx

Discount per unit of premium is computed as:


Unit cost of item to be distributed as premiums Pxx
Add: Handling costs (e.g., shipping and other fees), if any XX
Less: Amounts to be received from redeeming customers, if any XX
Discount per unit of premium Pxx

Expected number of premiums to be redeemed is computed as:

Number of coupon or voucher included per unit of sold product


Multiply by: Total number of sold products
Total number of coupons (or its equivalent) distributed
Multiply by: Portion expected to be presented for redemption
Total number coupons expected to be redeemed XX
Divide by: Number of coupons needed for one item ofpremium __XX_
Expected number of premiums to be redeemed XX

As the readers may have noted, the computations above are very similar to the
computations in arriving at premium expense under PAS 37.

c. Theallocation can now be made as follows:


——

Allocationto _ Transaction Stand-alone selling price of sold goods


Sold Goods Price Total of stand-alone selling prices of sold
goods and premiums a]

Allocationto _ Transaction ~ Stand-alone selling price of premiums _


Premium Price Total of stand-alone selling prices of sold
goods and premiums
Pro-forma journal entry to record the transaction on a total basis is as follows:

Chapter 5 — Premiums, Rebates, Discounts and Other Deferred Income Items

Cash/Accounts receivable XX
Sales revenue xX
Contract liability - premiums XX
The rationale of allocation is that a portion of the transaction price initially
received from customers is considered as an “advance payment’ that will be only
earned by the entity upon actual distribution of premiums.

d. Subsequently, as the premiums are distributed, a proportionate amount of the


contract liability is recognized as income:

Contract liability - premiums XX


Income from premiums xX

The proportionate amount to be recognized as income from premiums is


determined using the following formula:

Income _ Amount No. of premiums distributed


from Allocated to Total no. of premiums expected
Premium Premiums to be distributed

The readers should take note that the denominator used is the total number of
premiums expected to be distributed since using this will automatically
incorporate the recognition of breakage income. The concept of breakage will
be discussed later in the chapter under the accounting for gift certificates.

e. Acorresponding entry shall be made for the expense and other accounts affected
(COGS is cost of goods sold):

Expense from premiums (or COGS) XX


Cash (from customers, if any) XX |
Premium inventory XX
Cash (for handling costs, if any) XX

Illustration 2. During 2023, GERONIMO Company’s first year of operations, it


offered a sales promotional program wherein it included one coupon for each unit
of its product. Five of these coupons plus P20 shall be presented to redeem a special
wall clock with cost of P120/unit. Handling costs is estimated to be P15 per unit.
For the year, the Company was able to sell 200,000 units of its product (at P190.80
unit selling price) but expects that only 40% of the coupons will be presented for
redemption. A total of 16,500 wall clocks were acquired and by the end of 2023,
12,500 of these were distributed to customers.
In this case, the total stand-alone selling price of the products sold is
P38,160,000 (200,000 units x P1 90.80), which is also equal to the transaction
price. The stand-alone selling price of the premiums is estimated as follows:

Multiply by: Expected number of premiums to be redeemed 16,000
Estimated stand-alone selling price of premiums P1,840,000
The following are supporting computations in arriving to this amount:
Unit cost of premium P120
Add: Handling costs (e.g., shipping and other fees) 15
Less: Amounts to be received from redeeming customers (20)
Discount per unit of premium P115
Number of coupon or voucher included per unit of sold product 1

Total number of coupons distributed 200,000
Multiply by: Portion expected to be presented for redemption 40%
Total number coupons expected to be redeemed 80,000
Divide by: Number of coupons needed for one item of premium 5
Expected number of premiums to be redeemed 16,000

Next, allocate the transaction price of P38,160,000 based on relative stand-alone


selling prices:

The entry to record the allocation is as follows:

Cash/Accounts receivable 38,160,000


Sales revenue 36,404,640
Contract liability - premiums 1,755,360

The actual distribution of premium during 2023 shall result to the recognition of
income from premium equal to P1,371,375 [P1,755,360 x (12,500/16,000)]. The
entries to recognize the income from premium and other items arising from the
distribution of 12,500 units of premiums are the following:

Contract liability - premiums 1,371,375


Income from premiums 1,371,375

CUSTOMER LOYALTY PROGRAMS - INTRODUCTION


Another marketing scheme being implemented by the entities is the granting of so
called “points” to its customers for every sale transaction. The accumulated points
can be used for a variety of purposes, such as, but not limited to, the following:
a. Reduction in the amounts to be paid by customers related to their future
purchases.
b. Additional perks, such as products or services not normally sold by the entity.

Based on these purposes, the customers may increase spending since they feel that
they will be receiving more than what.they are paying for.
This program is best exemplified when you (or your mother) get asked for a
“reward card” before paying in a supermarket, fast-food store, coffee shop,
hardware, or any other store implementing such programs. In this case, the card
stores the information regarding the number of points accumulated by a specific
customer.

ACCOUNTING FOR CUSTOMER LOYALTY PROGRAMS


The accounting will depend on whether the entity is acting as the principal or as an
agent:

‘Entity is the Principal Entity is an Agent


An entity is a principal if the entity An entity is an agent if the entity’s|
controls a promised good or service performance obligation is to arrange for
before it transfers the good or service to the provision of goods or services by
a customer. [PFRS 15.B35]. another party. [PFRS 15.B36].

This is normally the case if the loyalty This is normally the case if the loyalty
program covers the products or program covers the goods or services
services provided by the entity itself. provided by another entity.

Illustration 3. QUICKGOLD Company, a grocery chain, offers a customer loyalty


program wherein the customers can use their accumulated points to reduce the
amounts to be paid on their future purchases of the Company’s products.

In this case, the Company is considered as the principal since it controls the products
before transferring them to customers (i.e., part of the Company’s inventory).

Illustration 4. BAGMART Company, an operator of a department store, offers a


customer loyalty program wherein the customers can use their accumulated points
to redeem tickets in the cinema operated by MOVIESHACK Company.
In this case, BAGMART Company is considered as an agent since the services to be
provided in the program are coming from another entity, MOVIESHACK Company.

ACCOUNTING IF THE ENTITY IS THE PRINCIPAL


Similar to premiums, customers have a material right that they would not receive
without entering into the loyalty program. That material right is the ability to
acquire, free of charge, the goods and/or services offered by the entity. The
following are the relevant accounting procedures:

a. Portion of the transaction price shall be allocated based on the stand-alone


selling price of the goods or services and stand-alone selling price of “points”.
The stand-alone selling price of “points”, which primarily based on the amount
of discount that the customer can avail, shall be estimated as follows:
Discount amount provided per point XX
Multiply by: Portion expected to be used by customers %
Stand-alone selling price of a point Pxx
Multiply by: Number of points distributed XX
Estimated stand-alone selling price of “points” Pxx

b. The allocation is very similar to the allocation of transaction price in premiums.


This is recorded in a total basis as follows:
Cash/Accounts receivable XX
Sales revenue XX
Contract liability - points XX

Chapter 5 — Premiums, Rebates, Discounts and Other Deferred Income Items

Initially, the portion allocated to points shall be deferred as a liability.


c. As the “points” are redeemed and the corresponding goods or services have
been provided, the entity shall recognize proportional amounts of contract
liability - points as income from points:
Income _ Amount No. of points distributed
from —_ Allocated to Total no. of points expected to
Points Points be distributed

d. Changes in the estimate of the total number of points to be redeemed shall be


considered as change in accounting estimate and shall be accounted
prospectively. Specifically, the total amount initially allocated to points
shall not be changed. In other words, income from points during the period of
change is equal to a certain amount of catch-up adjustment.

Illustration 5. During 2023, CORDOVA Company instituted a customer loyalty


program wherein for every P150 sales amount the entity will give 1 point. Each
point will reduce the customers’ payments for goods or services in the future by
P1.00: Based on the Company’s reliable estimate, only 80% of these points will be
redeemed. For 2023, the Company reported gross sales of P30,000,000 (before the
allocation).

The stand-alone selling price of initially sold goods or services is P30,000,000,


which is also equal to the transaction price. On the other hand, the estimated stand-
alone selling price of points is computed as:
Discount amount provided per point P1.00
Multiply by: Portion expected to be used by customers 80%
Stand-alone selling price of a point P0.80
Multiply by: Number of points distributed (P30M/P150) 200,000
Estimated stand-alone selling price of “points” P160,000

The total number of points that the entity expects to be redeemed is 160,000 points
(200,000 pointsx 80%).

Next, the P30,000,000 transaction price shall be allocated as follows:

Allocation to P30,000,000 -

Sales revenue 29,840,849
Contract liability - points 159,151

During 2023, the customers have used 90,000 points. In this case, the entity shall
recognize income from points amounting to P89,522 (P159,151 x 90,000/160,000):
Contract liability - points 89,522
Income from points 89,522

As of December 31, 2023, the contract liability - points will have a balance of
P69,629 (P159,151 - P89,522).

During 2024, the customers used 50,000 points. In addition, the Company changed
its estimate of total points to be redeemed at 170,000 points (up from original 160,000
points). Because of the change in estimate, the income from points in 2023 is
computed as follows:
Cumulative income to be recognized from 2023 to 2024
{[(90,000 + 50,000)/170,000] x P159,151} P131,066
Less: Income from points already recognized in 2023 (89,522)
Income from points, 2024 (catch-up adjustment) 41,544
The entry to record the income from points in 2024 is as follows:
Contract liability - points 41,544
Income from points 41,544

As of December 31, 2024, contract liability - points will have a balance of P28,085
(P69,629 - P41,544).

ACCOUNTING IF THE ENTITY IS AN AGENT


When an entity that is an agent satisfies a performance obligation, the entity
recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission which it expects to be
entitled to in exchange for arranging for the other party to provide its goods or
services. [PFRS 15.B36].
The entity will normally recognize revenue (e.g., commissions revenue) right upon
the distribution of points to the customers (i.e., not when the points are used by
the customers). The amount of revenue to be recognized is on a net basis.
Illustration 6, EUGENIO Company, an operator of a supermarket, participated in
the customer loyalty program introduced by RUBIO Company, a gasoline station
operator. For each P300 sales, EUGENIO Company will grant 4 points to the
customer. Each point is equivalent to P0.50, which can be used as a partial or full
Payment for RUBIO Company’s products. For every point granted to the customers,

Chapter 5 — Premiums, Rebates, Discounts and Other Deferred Income Items

EUGENIO Company will pay P0.40 to RUBIO Company. It is expected that the
customers will only use 90% of the points. During the year, EUGENIO Company
reported P24,000,000 gross sales.

The stand-alone selling price of initially sold goods is P24,000,000, which is also
equal to the transaction price. On the other hand, the estimated stand-alone selling
price of points is computed as:
Discount amount provided per point P0.50
Multiply by: Portion expected to be used by customers 90%
Stand-alone selling price of a point P0.45
Multiply by: Number of points distributed [(P24M/P300) x 4 pts.] 320,000
Estimated stand-alone selling price of “points” P144,000

Next, the P24,000,000 transaction price shall now be allocated as follows:


Allocation to 2 P24,000,000
Sold Goods = °24000,000 x 557 p99 000+P144,000 °23-856,859

Initially, EUGENIO Company shall make the following entry:
Cash/Accounts receivable 24,000,000
Sales revenue 23,856,859
Contract liability - points 143,141

Right after the above entry, the Company will make the following entry to record
the amount of income from points (ie, already net of amounts paid to RUBIO
Company):
Contract liability - points 143,141
Cash (320,000 x P0.40) 128,000
Income from points (squeeze) 15,141

REBATES, DISCOUNTS, COUPONS, AND FREE PRODUCTS


Other marketing schemes that entities employ include those “buy one, take one for
free”, “buy a certain amount and get a discount in your next purchase”, and similar
promotions. Similar to premiums, the entity has the following performance
obligations in this case:
a. transferring the initial goods acquired by the customers.
b. providing the rebates, discounts, and free products in the future.
For example, a milk tea or coffee shop may provide a coupon that is stamped for
every cup sold to a particular customer. After a certain number of stamps, let us say
10 stamps, a customer may be entitled to a free drink.
In this case, the transaction price received shall be allocated in the same manner as
the allocations made in premiums and customer loyalty programs.
Specifically, the amount initially allocated to the rebates, discounts, or free products
shall be initially recognized as a liability. This deferred amount shall be
proportionately recognized as revenue once the customers have exercised their
rights in the rebate, discounts, and free products.
Illustration 7 - Free Product. To promote its new line of milk tea blend, Taro
Magic, VIRAY Company offered a promotional campaign wherein the customers can
have a free cup for every cumulative purchase of five cups. This is monitored
through a voucher given to the customers where a stamp is punched for every cup
purchased. Each cup of Taro Magic has a selling price P120. For the year 2022,
50,000 cups of this blend were sold and 80% of the stamps distributed are expected
to be used for redemption.

In this case, each stamp will result to a discount of P24 (P120/5). The stand-alone
selling price can now be estimated as follows
Discount amount provided per stamp P24.00
Multiply by: Portion expected to be used by customers 80%
Stand-alone selling price of a point P19,20
Multiply by: Number of stamps distributed (50K cups x 1 stamp per cup) 50,000
Estimated stand-alone selling price of stamps P960,000
Estimated number of stamps to be used in redeeming free cups is 40,000 stamps
(50,000 x 80%).
Transaction price of P6,000,000 (P120x 50,000 cups) shall be allocated as follows:
Allocation to P6,000,000 = P5,172,414
Sold Goods | = P6,000,000 x P6,000,000 + P960,000

Sales revenue 5,172,414
Contract liability - stamps 827,586

During 2023, the customers have used 32,000 stamps. In this case, the entity shall
recognize sales revenue from stamps amounting to P662,069 /[P827,586 x
(32,000/40,000)] as follows:
Contract liability - stamps 662,069
Sales revenue 662,069

(P827,586 - P662,069).

In case there are changes in the estimate of the total number of stamps to be
presented for redemption, it shall be accounted for prospectively like in customer
loyalty programs (i.e., the initial amount allocated to the stamps shall not be revised).

Illustration 8 - Rebates. On January 1, 2023, ALTAIR Company started to offer its


customers a rebate coupon for every P700 single-receipt sales. Each coupon entitles
the holder P50 off in its future purchase and has a two-year validity. During the year
2023, ALTAIR Company received P9,550,000 from its customers and distributed
10,000 rebate coupons. The Company expects that only 90% of these coupons will
be used before they lapse. During 2023, the customers have used 6,300 of these
coupons.
First, determine the stand-alone selling prices of rebates as follows:
Discount amount provided per rebate coupon P50.00
Multiply by: Portion expected to be used by customers 90%
Stand-alone selling price of a point P45.00
Multiply by: Number of rebate coupons distributed 10,000
Estimated stand-alone selling price of rebates P450,000

Estimated number of rebates to be used is 9,000 coupons (10,000 x 90%).

Next, allocate the transaction price of P9,550,000 as follows:


Allocation to _ P9,550,000
SoldGoods ~ 9990000 *~59550,000 + P450,000 anne
Allocationto _ P450,000
Rebates = 7590,000 x “bo 555,900 + P450,000 BADE, 700

Cash/Accounts receivable 9,550,000


Sales revenue 9,120,250
Contract liability - rebate coupons 429,750

During 2023, the entity shall recognize sales revenue from rebate coupons
amounting to P300,825 [P429,750 x (6,300/9,000)] as follows:
Contract liability - rebate coupons 300,825
Sales revenue 300,825

On December 31, 2023, contract liability - rebate coupons will have a balance of
P128,925 (P429,750 - P300,825).

INCOME RECEIVED IN ADVANCE


Entities may receive, in advance, amounts from customers for a variety of reasons,
such as, but not limited to, the following:
a. That is just the business model of the entity, such as subscriptions, membership
fees or professional retainers.
b. Due to gift certificates issued.
c. Promotions.
d. Estimated sales returns.

ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME RECEIVED IN ADVANCE


Amounts received in advance shall be initially recorded as a liability until the time
it is earned (goods or services have been provided), where it shall be recognized as
income.

Illustration 9. DELFIN Company, an operator ofa gym, received P120,000 from one
of its customers on March 1, 2023. This amount is good for a one-year gym access
starting April 1, 2023.

In this case, earned membership fees revenue for 2023, from April 1 to December 31
(ie., 9 months), amounted to P90,000 (P120,000 x 9/12). As of December 31, 2023,
unearned income amounted to P30,000 (P120,000 - P90,000).

Illustration 10. CANOY Company provides cleaning services to a variety of entities.


On September 1, 2023, the Company received P500,000 for cleaning services
starting October 1, 2023 until February 28, 2024, The Company expects that
portion of cleaning services to be performed for each month is as follows: 15% each
month for October and November, 25% each month for December and January, and
20% for February.
For the year 2023, the Company shall recognize income from cleaning services
amounting to P275,000 [(15% +15% + 25%) x P500,000]. As of December 31, 2023,
unearned income amounted to P225,000 [(25% + 20%) x P500,000] as composed
of services to be performed in January and February 2024,

Illustration 11. CRISOSTOMO Company, a magazine publisher, distributes


magazine every July 1 (for January to June issues) and December 31 (for July to
December issues) of each year. Cut-off date for July 1 distribution is on May 31 while
for December 31 distribution is on October 31. Any amount received after the cut-
off date will be applied to the succeeding subscription period. Subscriptions
received from customers are for six-month subscription period. During 2023, its
first year of operations, the following amounts were received from customers:

January P240,000 July P380,000


February 360,000 August 420,000
March 400,000 September 550,000
April 280,000 October 600,000
May 320,000 November 590,000
June 500,000 December 750,000

In this case, the Company shall recognize revenue from subscriptions amounting to
P4,050,000 (from January to October). Unearned income as of December 31,
2023 shall be P1,340,000 (P590,000 received in November + P750,000 received in
December) since these will be delivered to subscribers only on July 1, 2024
(received after the October 31-cut-off date).
GIFT CERTIFICATES
Gift certificates relieve people of the burden of thinking of a good gift that can be
given to a person. For example, instead of buying clothes as gifts, a customer will
instead give a certain amount of gift certificate issued by a department store. In this
case, the recipient of the gift certificate can choose in that department store the
exact design and/or size of the clothes according to his or her liking.

In the Philippines, gift certificates do not expire as required by regulations (R.A.


10962), provided that certificates are not lost. A wide variety of entities issue gift
certificates, such as department stores, cafes, fast food chains, bookstores, and
supermarkets. In addition, gift certificates are on the rise during the holiday season
as a modern way of gift-giving.

ACCOUNTING FOR GIFT CERTIFICATES - BASIC CASE


Generally, gift certificates are accounted for as follows:
a. The proceeds shall initially be recognized as unearned income (i.e., liability).
b. Generally, the related income shall be recognized only upon the transfer of
goods or the provision of services.

Illustration 12, At the beginning of 2023, MEJIA Company reported a P650,000


balance in its unearned income from gift certificates. During the year, a total of
P1,900,000 was received from selling gift certificates, and P1,630,000 of these were
used by customers in buying the Company's products, It is estimated that all of the
gift certificates issued will be used by the customers.

Upon receipt of the amounts from the customers, the following journal entry will be
made:
Cash 1,900,000
Unearned income - gift certificates 1,900,000

Upon the actual usage of the customers, the following journal entry shall be made;
Unearned income - gift certificates 1,630,000
Sales revenue 1,630,000

Considering these journal entries, the ending balance of the unearned income - gift
certificates can now be determined as follows:
Unearned Income a
Actual usage by customers | P1,630,000 P650,000 | Beginning balance
Ending balance (squeeze) 920,000 | 1,900,000 | Amounts received
Totals (should be equal) | P2,550,000 | P2,550,000

ACCOUNTING FOR GIFT CERTIFICATES - WITH EXPECTED BREAKAGE


The same accounting procedures as the basic case apply, except for the following:
a. The portion of the initial proceeds received that is not expected to be used by
customers shall be attributed to “breakage”.

Breakage means the unexercised contractual rights of the customers under the
gift certificates. In the Philippines, the main reason for this is the loss of gift
certificates themselves since these certificates do not have expiration dates.

b. The amounts attributed to breakage shall be recognized as income in proportion


to the pattern of rights exercised by customers by using the following formula:

Income from _ Total Expected : Amount of gift certificates used


Breakage Breakage Total amount of gift certificates
expected to be used

Illustration 13. RICO Company sold a total of P4,000,000 gift certificates during
2023. Based on the Company’s estimate, 4% of the face amount of these gift
certificates will never be used by the customers due to the loss of the certificates.
For the whole year 2023, P2,304,000 gift certificates were used.
Initially, the amount that should be attributed to breakage is P160,000 (P4,000,000
x 4%), with the P3,840,000 (P4,000,000x 96%) attributed to the total amount of gilt
certificates expected to be used. The journal entry to record the sale of gift
certificates is as follows:
Cash 4,000,000
Unearned income - gift certificates 4,000,000

The entry to record the customer’s use of the gift certificates during 2023:
Unearned income - gift certificates 2,304,000
Sales revenue 2,304,000

In addition, the amount of income from breakage to be recognized during 2023 is


computed as follows:
Income from _ P2,304,000
Breakage ~ [160,000 x—p3 g40,0007 ~ 796,000
*P3,840,000 = P4,000,000 x (1 - 4%)
The entry to record the recognition of corresponding income from breakage:
Unearned income - gift certificates 96,000
Income from breakage 96,000
Considering these journal entries, the ending balance of the unearned income - gift
certificates as of December 31, 2023 can now be determined as follows:

Unearned Income
Actual usage by customers | P2,304,000 P- | Beginning balance
Income from breakage 96,000 | 4,000,000 | Amounts received
Ending balance (squeeze) | 1,600,000
Totals (should be equal) | P4,000,000 | P4,000,000

Jt should be noted that the balance of unearned income - gift certificates is reduced
by the following:
a. Amount of gift certificates actually used by the customers.
b. Amount of corresponding income from breakage recognized.

SALES WITH RIGHT OF RETURN


Normally, customers may return the products it purchased from the entity due toa
variety of reasons. In these cases, the following accounting procedures shall be
followed for sales with right of return, as required by PFRS 15:
a. Revenue shall be recognized only to the extent of the estimated amount that will
NOT be refunded to the customers or that will NOT be returned by the customers.
Pro-forma journal entry to record the sale with right of return is as follows:
Cash/Accounts receivable XX
Sales revenue XX
Refund liability (to be discussed in (b)) XX
b. The portion that is estimated to be refunded or to be returned shall be recognized
as refund liability. Changes in this estimate shall be recognized as either an
addition or deduction from the revenue during the period of change (i.e.,
accounted for prospectively).

Subsequently, this refund liability shall be debited whenever there is an actua|


refund to customers or returns from customers.

c. Anasset is recognized which represents the entity’s right to recover its products
from customers related to the settlement of the refund liability. This amount
shall be based on the estimated number of products that the customers will return,
This asset is measured at the product’s manufacturing costs less expected
costs to recover those products, including potential decreases in the value of the
returned products.
The recognition of the asset above has a decreasing effect in the amount of the
entity'scost of goods sold. Pro- forma journal entry to record the recognition of
the asset is as follows:
Asset for expected return XX
Cost of goods sold XX
The readers should take note that this asset account is not part of the entity's
inventory balance but as part of other assets.

Illustration 14. During the year 2023, FEMUR Company, a book publisher, sold
10,000 copies of a novel. The Company allows the customer to return the book,
provided these are still salable and in pristine condition. In addition, the Company
will also shoulder the transportation costs for the returned books which average
P30/book. Manufacturing costs and selling price amounted to P200/book and
P450/book, respectively. The Company reasonably expects that 2% of the books
will be returned by the customers. The Company uses the perpetual inventory
system for the recording of its book inventories.
In this case, the journal entries to initially record the receipts from customer and
the cost of goods sold are the following:
Cash (10K x P450) 4,500,000
Sales revenue (10K x 98% x P450) 4,410,000
Refund liability (10K x 2% x P450) 90,000
Cost of goods sold (10K x P200) 2,000,000
Inventory (10Kx P200) 2,000,000

The amount of asset to be recognized from the expected recovery from customers
returns shall be determined as follows: P34,000 [(P200 - P30) x (10,000 x 2%)).
Manufacturing cost per unit P200
Less: Cost per unit to recover the returned products (30)
Recovery asset per unit P170
Multiply by: Expected no, of books to be returned (10,000x2%) ___200__
Total recovery asset to be recognized P34,000

Journal entry to record this amount is as follows:


Asset for expected return 34,000
Cost of goods sold 34,000

Based on these entries, the Company’s cost of goods sold for the year amounted to
P1,966,000 (P2,000,000 - P34,000).
Assuming that there were 120 books that were returned and refunded during the
year 2023, the following are the relevant journal entries:
Refund liability (120 x P450) ~ 54,000
Cash (120 x P450) 54,000

Inventory (120 x P200) 24,000


Asset for expected return (120x P170) 20,400
Cash (for books’ freight) (120 x P30) 3,600

The readers should take note that P170 = P200 - P30. In addition, in the absence of
damages or obsolescence, the returned inventory shall be debited equal to its cost.
As of December 31, 2023, the refund liability will have a balance of P36,000
(P90,000 - 54,000) while the asset for expected return will have a balance of
P13,600 (P34,000 - P20,400).
CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Premiums are promotional items offered by an entity to give its customers
additional incentive to purchase its products.
2. There are two conflicting methods of accounting for premiums, one under PAS 37
(the traditional approach) and under PFRS 15 (the contemporary approach).
3. Accounting procedures for premiums under PAS 37 are the same as accounting for
assurance-type warranty:
a. Estimated premium expense and corresponding estimated premium liability
are recognized during the period the related goods were sold.
b. Estimated premium liability shall be reduced (i.e., debited) if the premiums
were actually distributed to claiming customers.
4, The following are the accounting procedures for premiums under PFRS 15:
a. Portion of the selling price of the goods shall be allocated to the sold goods and
premiums based on their relative stand-alone selling prices
Stand-alone selling price.of premiums is equal to discount amount per coupon
times the expected number of coupons to be used in redemption.
b. The amount allocated to the sold goods is immediately recognized as revenue,
while the amount allocated to the premiums are initially recognized as a
deferred liability, This deferred liability will be recognized as income if there is
an actual distribution of premiums.

5. Customer loyalty programs are accounted for under PFRS 15. As such, the
procedures for premiums accounted under PFRS 15 will be applied, save for the
following modifications:
a. Ifthe entity acts as the principal (it will provide the goods or services when the
customers use the points), the allocated amount to the points shall be initially
recognized as a liability. This amount will be recognized as revenue once the
entity provides the goods and services in exchange of points.
b.Ifthe entity acts as the agent (other entities will provide the goods or services
when the customers use the points), the allocated amount to the points shall be
immediately recognized as income, net of payments to other entities.
6. Rebates, coupons, and free products promotions are all accounted under PFRS 15.
The accounting procedures are similar to customer loyalty program when the entity
acts as the principal.
7. Amounts received in advance from customers shall be recognized as revenue only
when the related performance obligation (i.e., delivering of goods or providing of
services) has been made.
8. Gift certificates are recognized initially as unearned income. This unearned income
will be recognized as revenue when the customers used these to acquire entity's
goods and/or services.
9. However, portion of gift certificates that is expected not to be exercised by the
customers are accounted for as a breakage. Income from breakage is computed as
follows:
Income from . Total Expected 3 Amount of gift certificates used
Breakage Breakage Total amount of gift certificates
expected to be used
10. The t-account of the unearned income - gift certificates can be analyzed as follows:
Unearned Income
Actual usage by customers XX XX Beginning balance
Income from breakage XX XX Amounts received
Ending balance (squeeze) XX XX
Totals (should be equal) XX XX
11.Sales with right of return are accounted using the following concepts in PFRS 15:
a. The portion of the transaction price that is not expected to be returned or
refunded shall be immediately recognized as revenue.
b. The portion of the transaction price that is expected to be returned or refunded
shall be recognized initially as refund liability, This refund liability will be
debited if actual returns were made.
c. Asset representing the entity's right to recover the products from the expected
return shall be recognized. This recognition will result to reduction from cost of
goods sold.
The amount of asset is equal to the product’s production costs less costs to recover
the product, including potential decreases in the value of the returned products.

BONDS PAYABLE AND LOANS PAYABLE
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The difference between bonds and loans.
2. The characteristics, elements, and classifications of bonds.

LONG-TERM FINANCING - INTRODUCTION


To prevent stagnation of its operations, an entity may decide to pursue a business
opportunity or expand its current operations to a bigger market. To finance these
undertakings, an entity may use any or a combination of the following:
a. Savings from results of operations (undistributed net income).
b. Borrowings through bonds and loans.
c. Entering into a finance lease.
d. By issuing additional shares (shareholders’ equity).

In this chapter, the focus will be on the accounting for the borrowings through
bonds and loans. Accounting for leases will be discussed in Chapter 9 while
accounting for undistributed net income and shareholders’ equity will be discussed
in Chapter 15.

BONDS PAYABLE VS. LOANS PAYABLE


Both bonds and loans are sources of long-term financing, but they are very different
from each other. Their salient differences are the following:

~ Bonds Loans
Traded in an Yes - in bond markets No
exchange market?
Contract disclosure Public contract Private contract
Counterparty /ies General public A lender or group of lenders
Determination of Based on prevailing Privately agreed-upon
interest rate market rates
Issuers (Borrowers) Stable and well-known
entities. Also, the Not-so-known entities
government. ae
Let us now focus our attention to the bonds payable first.

Chapter 6 - Bonds Payable and Loans Payable

BONDS PAYABLE - INTRODUCTION


Bonds are tradeable securities that represent indebtedness of an entity. The
following are the primary reasons why an entity may choose to issue bonds rather
than borrow from banks in the form of loans:
a. Bonds give more competitive interest rates (i.e., lower than the rates charged by
loans).
b. The borrowing entity can draft the terms and conditions of its bond issuance,
which is up to the investors to accept. Under a loan payable, the lender normally
drafts the terms and conditions of the loan agreement for the borrowing entity
to “take it, or leave it”.
Fundamental Features of a Bond
Generally, all bond issuances have the following elements:
a. Issuer - this is the entity who borrows from the general public. It can be a
government (e.g., the Philippine government) and private or corporate entities
(e.g., Ayala Land Inc. and Union Bank of the Philippines). This the one who
recognizes “bonds payable”.
b. Bondholders - these are persons or entities who lend funds to the issuer. They
“invest” in bonds in the hopes of earning investment income in the form of
interest or trading gains. They recognize “investments in debt securities”.
c. Proceeds - the amount received from the bondholders, which is determined
by the interaction of stated rate and market rates. This amount is what the
issuer can use in its business activities. Lastly, this amount is not required to be
equal to the principal amount.
d. Principal (Face Amount) - the amount that the issuer agrees to pay to the
bondholders on the maturity date. This is not necessarily equal to the amount
of proceeds initially received from bondholders.
e. Maturity date - the date when the principal will be paid to bondholders.
However, there are two exemptions to this general feature:
1. Serial bonds, where portion of principal amounts are paid periodically
(e.g., annually).
2. Perpetual bonds, where the principal is not redeemable (or outstanding
“forever”) but pay periodic interest “forever”.
f. Tenor - this is the total period of time when the bonds are outstanding. This
period of time is usually from the bonds’ issuance date until its maturity date.
g. Interest, Coupon, Stated or Nominal Rate - the amount of annual interest
that the issuer promises to pay to the bondholders. The frequency of interest
payments can be annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly.
Zero-coupon bonds, as the name suggests, do not pay periodic interests but
rather are issued for proceeds that are much lower than the principal amount.

Bond Indenture
Bond indenture or trust deed is the legal contract containing the terms and
conditions of a bond issue. These terms include, but are not limited to,
a. Features of the bond such as principal, nominal interest rate, frequency of
interest payment, maturity date, collateral and covenants. Covenants have been
discussed in Chapter 1.
b. Rights of the bondholders
c. Obligations of the issuer

Classifications of Bonds
Bonds can be classified into different types depending on its characteristics.
a. As to payment of principal amounts:
1. Term bond - principal amount is payable lump-sum on maturity date (i.e,
“balloon” payment on maturity date).
2. Serial bond - principal amount is payable on a periodical basis.
3. Perpetual bond - no payment of principal since it has no maturity date.

b. As to security or collateral:
1. Debenture bond - bond with no security or collateral. Normally issued by
a well-known and established borrower entity who already obtained the
trust of the general public regarding its credit-worthiness.
2. Mortgage bond - bond collateralized with land, building, or other real
properties.
3. Equipment trust certificate - proceeds from the issuance of this certificate
are used in financing the acquisition of equipment (i.e., aircraft). A trustee
normally represents the interest of the investors by leasing out the acquired
equipment to the borrower. The ownership over the equipment will be
transferred to the borrower when all of the lease payment have been paid.

c. As to seniority:
1. Senior bond - bond that has a priority in payments above the other liabilities
of the issuer, except those secured by collaterals.
2. Subordinated bond - bond that will be paid only when all other liabilities
have been fully paid.

d. Other types of bonds:


1. Zero-coupon bond - bond that has no coupon rate and will just pay principal
amounts on maturity date.
2. Income bond - bond that will pay interest only when there are available
earnings. Normally issued by a struggling entity to finance its efforts in
reviving its business operations.
3. Floating-rate bond - bears interest that periodically (i.e., annually, semi-
annually, quarterly, monthly) resets in response to changes in the reference
rate. The amount of interest paid each year is not equal with each other.

4, Puttable bond - bond that allows the bondholders to claim payment against
the issuer even before the maturity date.
5. Convertible bond - bond that gives the bondholder the option to convert
the bonds into equity securities of the issuer. This will be discussed in
Chapter 7.

INITIAL MEASUREMENT OF BONDS PAYABLE


As a financial liability, by default, bonds payable are initially measured at their fair
values less transaction costs. The exception is when the bonds are accounted at
fair value through profit loss (FVTPL), where transaction costs are expensed outright.
Details on the accounting procedures when a financial liability is accounted at
FVTPL were already discussed in Chapter 3.

The fair value on initial recognition can be derived from either of the following:
a. principal amount multiplied by quoted price (e.g., 98, 102, etc.) as of initial
recognition (i.e. market approach); or
b. future cash flows discounted using the market rates prevailing as of initial
recognition (i.e., present value or income approach).
Unlike notes and loans payable, the bonds payable have quoted prices since they
are traded in an exchange market. Nevertheless, in general, the gross proceeds
from the issuance are equal to the bonds’ fair value on the date of issuance. The
amount of net
proceedsis equal to gross proceeds less transaction costs.
There is a discount if the net proceeds < than face amount while there is a premium
if the net proceeds > than face amount.
When using the income approach, the PV factor of single payment will be used for
the amount of principal and PV factor of ordinary annuity will be used for
periodic interest payment. Also, when using the income approach, the
relationship between the market rate and stated rate has the following pre-
determined results:
Relationship Face Amount vs Proceeds | Discount or Premium?
Market rate > Stated Rate | Face Amount > Proceeds Discount
Market rate < Stated Rate | Face Amount < Proceeds Premium
Market rate = Stated Rate | Face Amount = Proceeds Neither

The readers should take note that these relationships are the same as in the
investments in debt securities. However, the discount has a normal debit balance
(i-e., contra-liability) while premium has a normal credit balance (i.e., adjunct).
Depending on whether there is a discount or premium, the carrying amount (or
amortized cost) of the bonds payable shall be determined as follows:
a. Carrying amount = Face amount less unamortized discount; or
b. Carrying amount = Face amount plus unamortized premium.

Illustration 1. BLANCO Company issued a 4-year bonds with principal of


P5,000,000. The bonds bear interest of 10% that is payable at the end of each year,
Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine (a) bonds’
fair value on initial recognition; and (b) journal entry to record the issuance:
1. Quoted price is 99.
2. Market rates averaged 8%
3. Market rates averaged 11%

Answer - Scenario 1
The fair value of P4,950,000 (P5,000,000 x 99%). The entry to record the issuance
is as follows:

Cash 4,950,000
Discount on bonds payable 50,000
Bonds payable (at face amount) 5,000,000

The readers should take note that the bonds payable account is always credited
equal to the bonds’ face amount.

There is a discount since the market rate of 11% is higher than the stated rate of
10%. The P155,122 discount is equal to P5,000,000 face amount less P4,844,878
cash proceeds.

SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT
In general, bonds payable are subsequently measured at amortized cost. This
includes the amortization of the initial amount of discount or premium. This
amortization has the following effects to the amount of interest expense relative to
the interest paid and the bond’s amortized cost at the end of each year:

Scenario | Interest Expense vs Interest Paid | Effect in amortized cost


Discount Interest Expense > Interest Paid Increase in amortized cost
Premium Interest Expense < Interest Paid Decrease in amortized cost

Again, on maturity date, the goal is to make the amortized cost (or carrying amount)
of the bond to be equal to its face amount. Needless to say, if the proceeds = face
amount on date of issuance, then the amount of interest expense is equal to
interest paid every year.

METHODS OF AMORTIZING PREMIUM AND DISCOUNT


Similar to investments in debt securities, the following are the three methods of
amortizing the premium or discount on initial recognition:
a. Straight-line method
b. Bond outstanding method
c. Effective interest method

STRAIGHT-LINE METHOD
This method is usually used when the issue price is stated as a quoted price (e.g,
100, 98, 102.50, etc.). In addition, this method has the following characteristics:
a. Simplest among the three methods
b. Equal amounts of amortization are recorded every period. The discount and
premium are amortized from the date of issuance until the maturity date.
c. Equal amounts of increase or decrease in the carrying amount of bonds payable.
Illustration 2. On January 1, 2023, CUEVAS Company issued bonds with total face
amount of P6,000,000 and coupon rate of 10%. The bonds were dated January 1,
2022 and will mature on December 31, 2025. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the amounts of interest expense and carrying
amounts from 2023 to 2025 using the straight-line method:
1. The bonds were issued at 96
2. The bonds were issued at 105

Answer - Scenario 1
On the issuance date, the Company will make the following journal entry:

Dec. 31,2025 600,000 680,000 80,000 6,000,000 “
The readers should take note of the following:
a. The 3-year amortization period is from January 1, 2023 issue date until
December 31, 2025 maturity date. The January 1, 2022 date of the bonds
was not considered.
b. The discount amortization made the annual interest expense higher than
interest paid by P80,000.
c. The discount amortization steadily increases the carrying amount of the
bond equal to the annual amortization of P80,000, and decreases the balance of
the discount on bonds payable by the same amount.
For every December 31 of each year, the following journal entry shall be made:

Interest expense 680,000

The readers should take note of the following:


a. The premium amortization made the annual interest expense Jess than
interest paid by P100,000.
b. The premium amortization steadily decreases the carrying amount of the
bond equal to the annual amortization of P100,000 and decreases the balance
on premium on bonds payable by the same amount.

For every December 31 of each year, the following journal entry shall be made:
Interest expense 500,000
Premium on bonds payable 100,000
Cash 600,000

The readers should take note that straight-line method is applicable to term bonds,
but not to serial bonds, which will be discussed next.

BOND OUTSTANDING METHOD


This method is mainly applied to serial bonds, wherein the outstanding face
amount decreases periodically due to the periodic principal installment payments.

This method addresses the dilemma of using the straight-line method which is the
recording of equal amounts of amortization for each year, without regard to the
bonds’ outstanding face amount. Under the bond outstanding method, there is a
higher amount of amortization during the initial years when the bonds’
outstanding face amount is higher.
When applying this method, the readers may follow these procedures:
1. Understand the payment schedule of the bonds such as periodic amounts of
principal installment payments and the related frequency.
2. Determine the balances of the bonds’ face amount at the beginning of each
year and compute the sum of the balances (will be used as the determinator in
step 3).
3. The amount of amortization in a particular year is equal to the following:
Initial Discount or Beginning-of-the-year face amount
4 X eae
Premium Amount Total of beginning-of-the-year face amounts

The above procedures, by analogy, are very much similar to sum-of-the-years’ digit
(SYD) method of computing depreciation.

Illustration 3, CARLOS Company issued its five-year, 7% interest-bearing bond


with face amount of P10,000,000 on January 1, 2023. The bond is payable in equal
annual installments of P2,000,000 at the end of each year, starting on December 31,
2023 and every December 31, thereafter, Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the amounts of interest expense and bonds’
amortized cost for each year using the bond outstanding method:

Answer - Scenario 1
Initially, there is a premium of P600,000 computed as P10,000,000 x (106% .
100%). Premium amortization for each year is computed as follows:
Year Beg. Bal. Ratio Amortization
2023 10,000,000 10M/30M P200,000 (P600,000
x 10M/30M)

2026 4,000,000 4M/30M 80,000 (P600,000
x 4M/30M)
2027 2,000,000 2M/30M 40,000 (P600,000
x 2M/30M)
P30,000,000 P600,000
' The amount of interest paid and expense for each year is determined as follows:
[B] [A] -[B]
[A] Premium Interest
Year Beg. Bal. Interest Paid Amortization Expense
2023 10,000,000 x 7% = P700,000 P200,000 P500,000
2024 8,000,000 x 7% = 560,000 160,000 400,000
2025 6,000,000 x 7% = 420,000 120,000 300,000

Answer - Scenario 2
On the initial recognition, there is a discount of P300,000, computed as P10,000,000
x (100% - 97%). Discount amortization for each year is computed as follows:
Year Beg. Bal. Ratio Amortization
2023 10,000,000 10M/30M P100,000 (P300,000 x 10M/30M)

EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE METHOD


This is the required method under PFRS 9. [PFRS 9.4.2.1 and PFRS 9.A]. Under this
method, an entity determines effective interest rate (EIR) which exactly discounts
estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability
to its amortized cost. In other words, this is similar to the effective interest rate
method applied to investments in debt securities and in notes payable.
Generally, the effective interest rate is the market rate on the date of bond
issuance, regardless whether it is higher, lower, or equal to the stated rate. The
exception is when there are bond issue costs, which will be discussed shortly. The
EIR is not changed when market rates change as of each reporting date.

When using the effective interest rate method:


a. The effective interest rate is multiplied to the beginning-of-the-period
carrying amount to obtain the amount of interest expense for the period.
b. The difference between the interest paid and the computed interest expense is
the amount of amortization for the period. The readers may use this guide:
1. Ifthere isa premium, interest paid > interest expense, with the difference
deducted from the bond’s carrying amount.
2. If there is a discount, interest paid < interest expense, with the difference
added to the bond’s carrying amount.

Illustration 4. At the beginning of 2023, ANDAYA Company issued 3,000 of its


P1,000 face value bonds. These bonds pay interest of 9% every December 31 and
has maturity date of December 31, 2026 (i.e., after 4 years). Required: Under each
of the following independent scenarios, determine the related amortization table
and journal entries for the years 2023 to 2024 using the effective interest method:

EFFECTS OF BOND ISSUE COSTS - INITIAL RECOGNITION


Bond issue costs are the fees and costs incurred in connection with the issuance of
bonds payable. These include underwriting costs, printing costs, legal costs, and
registration costs. These amounts are paid to any one or a combination of the
following: lawyers, accountants, auditors, investment banks, and bond market
regulator. Lastly, these costs decrease the amount of net proceeds that the issuer
receives from the bond issuance.

Even though bond issue costs purport to be as “expenses”, they are not expensed
outright for bonds measured at amortized cost. Instead, it has a decreasing effect
in the initial measurement of bonds payable. Specifically, it has the following
effects on the initial recognition:
a. Increase in discount on bonds payable; or
b. Decrease in premium on bonds payable
In addition, if bond issue costs > initial amount of premium, the premium will
now become discount that is equal to the amount of excess bond issue costs over
the initial amount of premium.

Illustration 5. On January 1, 2023, LOZANO Company issued 4,000 of its P1,000


face amount bonds that will mature on December 31, 2026. Coupon rate is 8% and
bond issue costs incurred amounted to P250,000.
Assuming that the bonds were issued at their quoted price of 110, the net premium
on bonds payable is computed as follows:

Less: Bond issue costs 250,000
Premium on bonds payable, net P150,000

Assuming instead that the bonds were issued at their quoted price of 98, the total
discount on payable is computed as follows:
Initial amount of discount [(100% - 98%) x P4M] P80,000
Add: Bond issue costs 250,000
Discount on bonds payable P330,000

EFFECTS OF BOND ISSUE COSTS - SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT


Since the bond issue costs affect the initial amounts of discount or premium, the
amounts of subsequent periodic amortization using either the straight-line method
or bond outstanding method will also be affected. However, the manner of
computing the periodic amortization is not affected.

If an entity uses effective interest method, bond issue costs will make EIR > market
yield to be used in amortizing the premium or discount on initial recognition.
Consequently, the following rules can now be formulated:

General rule: | Market rate (yield) on initial recognition is the effective interest rate
When there are bond issue costs, a new effective interest rate will
Exception:
be used, which is higher than the market rate on initial recognition

Illustration 6. AGUIRRE Company issued 6,000 of its P1,000, 10% interest-bearing


bonds on January 1, 2023, when the market yield rates averaged 11%, receiving
P5,853,375 proceeds. The bonds will mature on December 31, 2025. In addition,
the Company also incurred bond issue costs of P141,596. After considering the
bond issue costs, the revised effective interest rate is now 12%.

The initial amount of the discount is computed as P146,625 (P6,000,000 -


P5,853,375); however, this will be increased to P288,221 (P146,625 + P141,596)
because of the bond issue costs. The journal entry to record the issuance, net of
bond issue costs is as follows:

Cash (P5,853,375 - P141,596) 5,711,779


Discount on bonds payable 288,221
Bonds payable 6,000,000

The amortization table will now look like this:

It should be highlighted that because of the bond issue costs, the amount of
interest expense per year is computed using the 12% effective rate, rather
than the 11% market rate as of the issuance date.

SEMI-ANNUAL AND QUARTERLY INTEREST PAYMENTS


Interest payments on the bonds may be also made more frequently, such as every
six months (semi-annual) or every three months (quarterly). In both cases, when
computing for the PV factors, the issuer shall make the following adjustments
depending on the interest payment frequency:

Interest Payment Frequency


Semi-annually Quarterly
Number of Periods Years x 2 Years x 4
Periodic Discount Rate Market rate + 2 Market rate + 4
Periodic Interest Payment | AnnualAmount+2 Annual Amount + 4

After these adjustments, the issuer can now proceed to apply the usual amortization
procedures under straight-line and bond outstanding methods. For effective
interest rate method, an example will show the changes to be made in the
computations

Illustration 7. BAGUIO Company issued 2,000 of its 2-year, P1,000 face amount
bonds on January 1, 2023. The bonds pay 10% interest and were issued when the
market rates averaged 9%. Required: Under each of the following independent
scenarios, determine the fair value and subsequent amortization table:
1. Interest is payable semi-annually every June 30 and December 31.
2. Interest is payable every March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31

Answer - Scenario 1 (Semi-annual Interest Payments)


In computing the bonds’ initial fair value, the following adjustments are to be made:

Number of Periods = 4 (2 yearsx2) Periodic discount rate = 4.50% (9%/2)


Semi-annual interest payment = P100,000 (P2,000,000 x 10% x 6/12)

The readers shall take note of the following:


a. Periods are split into six-month duration each, instead of the usual one-year
duration when the interest is paid annually.
b. Interest payments are half of the annual amount.
Cs Interest expense is computed as: beginning-of-the-period carrying amount x
9% x 6/12.
d. To compute for the total interest expense for one year, two rows of interest
expense are considered. For example, in 2023, total interest expense is P182,851
(P91,614 + P91,237).

Answer - Scenario 2 (Quarterly Interest Payments)


In computing the bonds’ initial fair value, the following adjustments are to be made:
Number of Periods = 8 (2 yearsx4) Periodic discount rate =_2.25% (9%/4)

a. Periods are split into three-month duration each, instead of the usual one-year
duration when the interest is paid annually.
b. Interest payments are one-fourth of the annual amount.
c. Interest expense is computed as: beginning-of-the-period carrying amount
9% x 3/12.
d. To compute for the total interest expense for one year, four rows of interest
expense are considered. For example, in 2023, total interest expense is P182,687
(P45,815 + P45,721 + 45,625 + P45,526).

APPLYING EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE METHOD ON SERIAL BONDS


Serial bonds payable may also be accounted using the effective interest rate
method. In this case, the amounts and timing of cash flows of principal and interest
shall be estimated. Amounts of interest to be paid are also decreasing due to the
decreasing amount of the bond’s principal or face amount. The present value of
these cash flows will then be determined using a series of PV factors of single
payments.
Illustration 8. On January 1, 2023, AMANDA Company issued a P4,000,000 face
amount bond with a term of four years. The P1,000,000 portion of principal is to be
paid every December 31 of each year, starting in 2023. The bond has stated rate of
10% that will be paid at the same time with principal payments. Market rates
averaged 11% on January 1, 2023.
1. First, determine the amounts and timing of cash flows:
[A] Beg. [B]Interest TotalCash Datetobe No. of
Face Amounts Inflows Received Periods
Year Amount [A]x10% [B]+P1M (Timing) from1/1/23
2023 P4,000,000 P400,000 P1,400,000 12/31/23 1 period
2024 3,000,000 300,000 1,300,000 12/31/24 2 periods
2025 2,000,000 200,000 1,200,000 12/31/25 3 periods
2026 1,000,000 100,000 1,100,000 12/31/26 4 periods
2. Next, determine the PV factors of single payment using the number of periods
determined above and 11% discount rate. After this, PV amounts can now be
computed as follows:
Initial Fair
PV Factor of PVFactor Cash Flow Value
Single payment for 1 period at 11% 0.900901 P1,400,000 P1,261,261
Single payment for 2 periods at 11% 0,811622 1,300,000 1,055,109

12/31/26 1,100,000 109,011 (990,989) - -

The readers should take note of the following:


a. For serial bonds, annual cash receipts include the relevant principal
installments.
b. The ending balance of premium or discount is equal to the difference
between the bond’s remaining face amount and its carrying amount.
For example, on January 1, 2023, P81,597 = P4,000,000 - 3,918,403; while on
December 31, 2023, P50,573 = P3,000,000 - P2,949,427 and so on.

c. The amount of reduction in the discount on bonds payable is equal to the


difference between the interest paid and interest expense.

For example, the P31,024 (P81,597 - P50,573) decrease during 2023 is also
equal to the difference between P431,024 interest expense and P400,000
interest paid.

4. The journal entry to be made on the date of issuance


is as follows:
Cash 3,918,403
Discount on bonds payable 81,597
Bonds payable 4,000,000

Fast forward to December 31, 2023, the compound journal entry to record the
payment of interest and principal is as follows:

Bonds payable 1,000,000


Interest expense 431,024
Cash 1,400,000
Discount on bonds payable 31,024

ISSUANCE DATE NOT ON THE INTEREST PAYMENT DATE OF THE BONDS OR


AFTER THE DATE INDICATED ON THE BONDS
An entity may issue additional bonds in between interest payment dates or after
some time of the date indicated on the bonds, In either of the cases, the issuer
receives accrued interest from the investors/lenders, but this accrued interest will
be subsequently paid back in the immediately succeeding interest payment date.

In this case, the amount of the accrued interest is computed from the immediately
preceding interest payment date up to the issuance date. Interest payment
frequency also affects the amount of received accrued interest payable,
Nevertheless, the amount of accrued interest does not affect the initial
measurement of the related bond payable.

Illustration 9. On April 1, 2023, CERVANTES Company issued 4,000 of its P1,000


face amount bonds with maturity date of December 31, 2025 at 105.50 plus accrued
interest. The coupon rate is 10% per annum to be paid every December 31 of each
year. The bonds are originally dated January 1, 2022.

In this case, the total amount of cash received can be computed as follows:

Proceeds from face amount (P4M x 105.50%) P4,220,000


Add: Interest from 12/31/22 - 4/1/23 (P4Mx 10% x 3/12) 100,000
Total proceeds from the issuance P4,320,000

It is presumed that the immediately preceding interest payment date is December


31, 2022 since the interest is payable every December 31 of each year. The journal
entry to record the issuance is as follows:

Cash 4,320,000
Bonds payable 4,000,000
Premium on bonds payable
[(105.50% - 100%) x P4M] 220,000
Accrued interest payable 100,000

Fast forward to December 31, 2023, the following is the journal entry to record the
annual interest payment:

Interest expense (P4M x 10%x9/12) 300,000


Accrued interest payable 100,000
Cash 400,000

It should be highlighted that the amount of interest expense recognized in 2023


covers only from April 1, 2023 (date of actual bond issuance) to December 31,
2023 (i.e.,9 months).

In addition, the premium of P220,000 shall be amortized from April 1, 2023 to


December 31, 2025 (or over 33 months or 2.75 years). Using the straight-line
method, monthly amortization of this premium amount is P6,667 (P220,000/33).
Amortization per year is as follows:

Year Amortization

Illustration 10. On October 31, 2023, BERNAL Company issued bonds with total
face amount of P5,000,000 and coupon rate of 12% at P4,900,000, excluding
accrued interest. The bonds will mature on December 31, 2026 and originally dated
on January 1, 2023. In addition, the Company also incurred bond issue costs of
P125,000. Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine
the net proceeds received from the issuance:
1. The interest is payable every June 30 and December 31
2. The interest is payable every March 31, June 30, September 30 and December
31
Answer - Scenario 1
In this scenario, the immediately preceding interest payment date is on June 30,
2023. Using this information, the net proceeds can be computed as follows:

Proceeds from face amount P4,900,000


Add: Interest from 6/30/23 - 10/31/23 (P5M x 12% x 4/12) 200,000
Less: Bond issue costs (125,000)
Net proceeds from the issuance P4,975,000

Answer - Scenario 2
In this scenario, the immediately preceding interest payment date is on September
30, 2023. Net proceeds can be computed as follows:
Proceeds from face amount P4,900,000
Add: Interest from 9/30/23 - 10/31/23 (P5M x 12% x 1/12) 50,000
Less: Bond issue costs (125,000)
Net proceeds from the issuance P4,825,000

REPORTING DATE NOT FALLING ON ONE OF INTEREST PAYMENT DATES


As the readers may have observed, all of the “Dates” columns in previous
amortization tables in this chapter contains December 31 as one of interest
payment dates. These dates indicate the carrying amount of the bond payable as of
each of the indicated dates.

However, there are also cases when the amortization table does not contain
December 31 primarily because there is no scheduled interest payment on that
date. Accounting issues will arise as the December 31 carrying amounts of bonds
payable cannot be directly obtained from these amortization tables. The carrying
amounts as of December 31 of each year are important since they are used in
financial reporting purposes.

The additional accounting procedures will primarily involve “partially


amortizing’ the amounts of discount and premium amortizations:
a. Partial amortization of discount is added to carrying amount.
b. Partial amortization of premium is deducted to carrying amount.

In addition, there will be accrued interest payable amounts (based on the bonds’
face amount or principal amount, rather than carrying amount) as of each
December 31. This can be best explained through an illustration.
Illustration 11. On October 1, 2023, BUSTAMANTE Company issued bonds with
face amount of P3,000,000 and maturity date of September 30, 2026 when the
market rates averaged 9%. These bonds bear 10% payable every September 30,
starting in 2024, Determine the carrying amounts of the bonds as of December 31,
2023 and 2024.

Answer
The bonds’ fair value as of October 1, 2023 is computed as follows:

Carrying amount, 12/31/23 P3,070,146
The readers should take note that when there is a partial discount amortization,
that amount shall be added to the bond’s carrying amount instead.
On the other hand, the following is the computation of the bonds’ carrying amount
_as of December 31, 2024:

LOANS PAYABLE
Accounting for loans payable is very similar to accounting for bonds payable, except
for the following differences:
a. The initial fair value of interest-bearing loans payable is almost always equal to
the loan’s face amount.
b. Origination fees paid to the lender will decrease the initial carrying
amount of the loan and change the effective interest rate, Its nature is analogous
to bond issue costs.
c. Origination costs incurred by the lender will NOT affect the borrower's
accounting for loan payable since these amounts were incurred by the lender.

Chapter 6 — Bonds Payable and Loans Payable

Illustration 12. AREVALO Company borrowed P8,000,000 from a bank on January


1, 2023. The loan bears 10% interest and will mature on December 31, 2025. In
connection with the borrowing, the Company paid P195,500 origination fees to the
lender, while the lender incurred direct origination costs of P244,600 and P60,750
indirect origination costs. Upon considering the relevant amounts, the effective
interest rate will now become 11%.
In this case, the loan payable’s initial measurement on January 1, 2023 is computed
as follows:
Face amount P8,000,000
Less: Origination fees paid to lender (195,500)
Loan payable, initial carrying amount P7,804,500

Again, the direct and indirect origination costs are not considered since these are all
incurred by the lender.

The entry to initially record the borrowing is as follows:


Cash (P8M - P195,500) 7,804,500
Discount on loans payable 195,500
Loans payable 8,000,000

The subsequent amortization table is as follows:


Interest Interest Amorti- Carrying Discount on
Date Payments Expense ation Amount Loans Payable
Jan. 1, 2023 7,804,500 195,500
Dec. 31,2023 800,000 858495 58,495 7,862,995 137,005
Dec. 31,2024 800,000 864,929 64,929 7,927,924 72,076
Dec. 31,2025 800,000 872,076 72,076 8,000,000 -

Based on the above amortization table, the reader should take note that the interest
expense amounts are based on the 11% effective interest rate.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Bonds payable and loans payable are long-term sources of financing.
2. Bonds are traded in a market while loans are private contracts.
3. The bonds’ face amount is not necessarily equal to the amount of proceeds from
issuance.
4, Bond indenture is the legal contract containing the terms and conditions of a bond
issue.
5. Bonds can be classified as follows:
a. As to payment of principal - term, serial or perpetual.
b. As to security or collateral - debenture, mortgage bond, equipment trust
certificate.
c. As to seniority - senior bond or subordinated bond

Chapter 6 - Bonds Payable and Loans Payable

d. Other classifications - zero-coupon bond, income bond, floating-rate bond,


puttable bond, or convertible bond.
6. By default, bonds payable are accounted at amortized cost and initially measured at
fair value less transaction costs.
7. There is a discount if proceeds are less than face amount while there is a premium if
proceeds are more than face amount,
8. Using the present value approach, there is a discount if the EIR is higher than the
stated rate while there is a premium if the EIR is lower than the stated rate.
9. The amount of discount or premium can be amortized using one of the following:
a. Straight-line method - equal amounts of amortization per period; used when
the issue price is stated at quoted price.
b. Bond-outstanding method - decreasing amounts of amortization per period;
used with serial bonds and when the issue price is stated at quoted price.
c. Effective interest method - amortization is equal to the different interest
expense and interest paid; used when the present value approach is used in
determining the issue price of the bond.
10.To determine the amount of interest expense under straight-line and bond-
outstanding methods of amortization, the discount amortization is added to the
interest payment, while the premium amortization is deducted from the interest
payment.
11.Regardless of the method used in amortization, discount will result to a higher
interest expense over interest paid while premium will result to a higher interest
paid over interest expense.
12. Discount amortization will increase the bonds’ amortized cost while premium will
decrease the amortized cost.
13.If the bonds were issued not on an interest payment date, accrued interest shall be
received from the investors.
14. Net proceeds = Fair value of the bonds + accrued interest, if any - transaction costs.
15.Bonds with no interest payment date falling on December 31 shall be partially
amortized from the immediately preceding interest payment date up to December
31 of the current reporting period.
a. Partial amortization of discount is added to the bonds’ carrying amount.
b. Partial amortization of premium is deducted from the bonds’ carrying amount.
16. Similar to investments in debt securities, clean price excludes the accrued interest,
while the dirty price includes the accrued interest.
17.When initial measuring a loan payable, only the origination fees shall be considered
(as a deduction). Origination costs of the lender, whether direct or indirect, are not
considered in the borrower's point-of-view.

CHAPTER 6: SELF-TEST EXERCISES

True or False
, Bonds are private contracts not traded in an exchange.
2. The amount of bonds’ principal or face amount is not necessarily the amount of
proceeds that will be received from issuance.
The amount of proceeds received from bond issuance is the amount that will be
repaid to the investors on the bonds’ maturity date.
Term bonds’ principal amounts are payable on lump-sum on maturity date.
A debenture bond is a bond with collateral or security.
OV Ot

For bonds payable measured at amortized cost, initial measurement is equal to fair
value, with transaction costs expensed outright.
There is a discount if the amount of proceeds is lower than the face amount or
principal of the bond.
There is a premium if the market rate is lower than the bonds’ stated rate.
$2 —

In determining the bonds’ carrying amount or amortized cost, any unamortized


discount is added to the bonds’ face amount.
10. Straight-line method of amortizing discount or premium will result to equal
periodic amounts of amortization.
11. Bond-outstanding method of amortizing discount or premium will result to
increasing amounts of amortization.
12. The amortization of premium will result to a higher amount of interest expense
than the amount of interest paid.
13. The amortization of the discount will increase the bond’s carrying amount or
amortized cost.
14. If the bond’s interest payment date is not on the entity's reporting date, partial
amortization shall be made from immediately preceding interest payment date
until the reporting date.
15. Origination costs incurred by the lender are not included in the measurement of the
loan payable in the borrower’s books.

CHAPTER 7
COMPOUND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The components of compound financial instruments.
2. The initial allocation of proceeds, including the allocation of transaction costs.
3. The subsequent accounting for the components of compound financial
instruments.
4. The accounting for early retirement.
5. The computation of accrued interest payable.

COMPOUND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


When an entity issues its debt securities (e.g., bonds payable), it may add terms that
may enhance the attractiveness of the issuance (i.e., “sweeteners”). The following
are the most common sweeteners issued together with debt securities:
a. Share warrants - these warrants allow the holder to acquire a certain number
of common or preference shares at a certain price (i.e., exercise price) that might
be lower than the prevailing market price. The shares shall belong to the entity
who issued the debt securities.
b. Convertibility option - the debt securities can be converted, at the option of
the holder or the investor, to a fixed number of common shares belonging to the
entity who issued the debt securities.

ACCOUNTING FOR COMPOUND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


In substance, when an entity issues debt securities with share warrants or
convertibility option, the issuance is actually comprised of the following
components (hence, the name “compound financial instruments”):
a. liability component - corresponding to the debt securities only (i.e., excluding
the “sweeteners”); and
b. equity component - corresponding to the share warrants or convertibility
option (i.e., the “sweeteners”).

It should be reiterated that the share warrants or convertible option shall cover the
equity securities of the entity issuing the debt securities. Otherwise, the
succeeding discussions are not applicable. The standard covering the accounting of
compound financial instruments is PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation.

ALLOCATION OF ISSUANCE PROCEEDS


Since the issuance is, in substance, for the liability and equity components, the
proceeds shall be allocated in the following manner (“split accounting”):
a. first, allocate at an amount equal to the fair value of the liability component.

173

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cs CamScanner
CamScanner
Chapter 7 — Compound Financial Instruments

b. next, any excess of issuance proceeds over the amount allocated to liability
component shall be allocated to the equity component.
Graphically, this allocation of the proceeds can be presented as follows:

PROCEEDS FROM ISSUANCE

Liability Component Equity Component


Amount allocated is equal to the fair Amount allocated is equal to proceeds
value of the comparable liabilities less amount allocated to liability
without the share warrants or component (i.e., residual amount)
convertibility option.

The allocation procedures above are consistent with the relationship of liabilities
and equity during liquidation, wherein the liability holders will be the first to
receive cash. It is only when all the liabilities have been paid that the equity
holders will receive cash ‘(i.e., residual interest). This allocation shall not be
subsequently revised in cases. where there are changes in the probability of
exercising the share warrants or the convertibility option.

As to the liability component, the difference between the amount allocated to it


(i.e., its fair value) and the related face amount shall be accounted as follows:

Allocated amount > Face amount | Premium on bonds payable


Allocated amount < Face amount | Discount on bonds payable

Pro-forma journal entry to record the allocation is as follows:

Cash (equal to amount of proceeds) XX


Discount on bonds payable (if any) XX
Bonds payable XX
Premium on bonds payable (if any) XX
Share premium - share warrants
or convertibility option (equity
component) XX

Each component will subsequently be accounted for separately from each other.
Depending on the classification of the liability, it can be accounted for either at
amortized cost (by default) or at fair value through profit or loss (if irrevocably
designated as such on initial recognition).

On the other hand, the carrying amount of the equity component will not change,
except during the early retirement of the related bond payable. This equity
component has a normal credit balance.

Chapter 7 — Compound Financial Instruments

Illustration 1. GARCIA Company issued bonds payable with total face amount of
P5,000,000 for 110. The bonds came with share warrants to acquire a total of
50,000 ordinary shares of the Company at P20/share. Comparable vanilla bonds
without share warrants have fair value of 105 while the warrants have a total
P350,000 fair value. Required: Determine the allocation of the proceeds

Answer: The issue price amounted to P5,500,000 (P5,000,000 x 110%) and should
be allocated in the following manner:
Total issue price P5,500,000
Less: Liability component (P5,000,000 x 105%) (5,250,000)
Equity component (residual amount) 250,000

These allocated amounts shall be recorded as follows:

Cash 5,500,000
Bonds payable 5,000,000
Premium on bonds payable
(P5,250,000 - P5,000,000) 250,000
Share premium - share warrants 250,000

ALLOCATION OF BOND ISSUE COSTS


Transaction costs related to the issuance of the compound financial instrument
include the following:
a. registration fees
b. bond certificate printing costs
c. underwriting fees
d. accounting, legal and other professional fees
These bond issue costs are allocated to the liability and equity components using
the proportion of the initial allocation of issue price, using the following
formulas:
AllocationtoLiab. _ Bondissue Proceeds allocated to liability component
Component us costs $ Total amount of proceeds

Allocation to _ Bond issue Proceeds allocated to equity component


EquityComponent _ costs Total amount of proceeds
These allocated bond issue costs shall reduce the carrying amounts of the liability
and equity components,

Illustration 2, RAMOS Company issued a four-year, 10% interest-bearing bonds


payable with aggregate face amount of P3,000,000. These bonds were issued at a
total price of 99. Included in the issuance of the bonds is the option to convert them
into 100,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares. Similar bonds without the

convertibility option have market rates averaging 12%. In addition, bond issue
costs incurred totaled P90,079. Required: Determine the allocation of bond issue
costs to the liability and equity components.
Answer:
1. First, allocate the issue price of P2,970,000 (P3,000,000x 99%):
Total issue price P2,970,000
Less: Liability component (fair value computed below) _ (2,817,759)
Equity component (residual amount) P152,241

The fair value of the liability component is computed as follows:


PV Factor of PVFactor Cash Flow Total PV
Single payment for 4 periods at 12% 0.635518 P3,000,000 P1,906,554
Ordinary annuity for 4 periods at12% 3.037349 300,000 ‘911,205
FV, liability component P2,817,759

2. Next, allocate the P90,079 bond issue costs as follows:

Allocation to Liability _ P2,817,759


Component = ROOT. ox P2,970,000 — naa 462

Allocationto Equity _ P152,241 |


Component 2. PROT: P2,970,000 — maa
3. The issuance of the bonds shall be recorded as follows:
Cash 2,970,000
Discount on bonds payable 182,241
Bonds payable 3,000,000
Share premium - conv. option 152,241

The discount on bonds payable is equal to P3,000,000 face amount less


P2,817,759 proceeds allocated to the liability component.
On the other hand, the allocation of bond issue costs shall be recorded as follows:

Discount on bonds payable 85,462


Share premium - conversion 4,617
Cash 90,079

Similar to the accounting made in the previous chapter, the bond issue costs will
either increase the discount on bonds payable or decrease the premium on bonds
payable. In both cases, bond issue costs will decrease the bond's initial carrving
amount.

4. After summarizing these entries, the following are the initial carrying amounts
of the liability component and the equity component:
176

The
The Book
Book R̶Readexs-Raiders
e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cS CamScanner
Chapter 7 — Compound Financial Instruments

Bonds payable P3,000,000


Less: Discount (P182,241 + P85,462) (267,703)
Bonds payable, net P2,732,297

Share premium - conv. option (P152,241 - P4,617) P147,624

By default, the bonds payable shall be measured at amortized cost using an


effective interest rate of 13% (i.e., not the 12% market rate) due to the allocated
bond issue costs.

ACTUAL EXERCISE OF SHARE WARRANTS OR CONVERTIBILITY OPTION


Accounting for the exercise of the share warrants is different from the accounting
for the exercise of the convertibility option. The difference lies primarily with the
computation of total issue price in exchange for issuer’s equity instruments.

The total issue price of equity instruments that were issued due to the exercise of
the share warrants is computed as follows:
Cash received from exercise price of share warrants _ Pxx
Add: Full or proportional amount of share premium - share warrant —_Xx
Issue price of equity instruments Pxx
Less: Total par value of issued shares (xx)
Share premium - issuance : “Pxx|

The related journal entry to record the exercise of share warrants is:
Cash (share warrant exercise price) XX
Share premium - share warrants XX
Share capital XX
Share premium ~ issuance (squeeze) XX

The total issue price of equity instruments that were issued because of the exercise
the of convertibility option is computed as follows:
Updated carrying amount of bonds (full or partial) Pxx
Add: Full or proportional amount of share premium - convertibility xx
Issue price of equity instruments Pxx
Less: Total par value of issued shares (xx)
Share premium — issuance “PXx |

The related journal entry to record conversion of bonds to equity instruments:


Bonds payable, net XX
Share premium - convertibility XX
Share capital XX
Share premium - issuance (squeeze) XX

Despite the differences between share warrants and convertibility option, the
following similarities are noted:
a. Nogainor loss is recognized from the exercise of share warrants or convertibility
option.
b. Share premium - issuance is the excess of the total issue price over the total par
value of the issued shares.
c. The corresponding carrying amount of the equity component is included in the
issue price of equity instruments. Only a portion of the carrying amount will be
included if there is onlya partial exercise of the share warrants or convertibility
option.

As to their differences, cash is debited if the share warrants were exercised since
the issuing entity will receive cash. Carrying amount of the liability is not relevant in
this case.

On the other hand, the carrying amount of liability is debited when exercising the
convertibility option since the bond payable will now become part of the equity.
Illustration 3 - Share Warrants. On January 1, 2023, REYES Company issued a
five-year, 9% interest-bearing bonds payable with aggregate face amount of
P4,000,000. Together with the bonds, the Company also issued 40,000 share
warrants. Each warrant can be exercised in order to acquire one of the Company’s
P20 par value ordinary shares at P50/share. Total issue price amounted to
P4,300,000 while the fair value of the bonds without the warrants amounted to
P3,900,000. Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios,
determine the journal entry to record the exercise of share warrants:
1. All of the warrants were exercised
2. Only 30,000 share warrants were exercised
Allocation of Bond Issue Price
Before answering the scenarios, it is Hapertantt to first allocate the proceeds to the
liability and equity components:

Total issue price P4,300,000


Less: Liability component (equal to its fair value) (3,900,000)
Equity component (residual amount) P400,000
Answer - Scenario 1
The computations of the issue price of the equity instruments and the amount of
share premium - issuance are the following:
Cash received (40,000 x P50) P2,000,000
Add: Full amount of share premium - share warrant 400,000
Issue price of equity instruments P2,400,000
Less: Total par value of shares issued (40,000 x P20) 800,000
Share premium - issuance P1,600,000
178

The

Chapter 7 — Compound Financial Instruments

To record the exercise of all of the share warrants:


Cash 2,000,000
Share premium - share warrants 400,000
Share capital 800,000
Share premium - issuance 1,600,000

Answer - Scenario 2
The computations of the issue price of the equity instruments and the amount of
share premium - issuance are the following:
Cash received (30,000 x P50) P1,500,000
Add: Partial amount of share premium - share warrant
(P400,000x 30,000/40,000) 300,000
Issue price of equity instruments P1,800,000
Less: Total par value (30,000 x P20) 600,000
Share premium - issuance P1,200,000

To record the exercise of 30,000 of the share warrants:


Cash 1,500,000
Share premium - share warrants 300,000
Share capital 600,000
Share premium - issuance 1,200,000

Generalizations - Scenarios 1 and 2


The readers should take note that under both scenarios, the net increase in the
shareholders’ equity is equal to the amount of cash received from the exercise
of share warrants. The carrying amount of the bonds is not relevant.
Illustration 4 - Convertible Bonds. At the beginning of 2023, MENDOZA Company
issued 5,000 convertible bonds with P1,000 face amount per bond and term of five
years. These bonds bear interest of 9% that is payable every December 31 of each
year and each of is convertible to 10, P80 par value ordinary shares of the Company.
Issue price is P5,050,000 while the market rates for similar bonds without the
conversion option averaged 11%. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the journal entry to record the conversion of
bonds payable:
1. All of the bonds were converted to ordinary shares on December 31, 2024.
2. 4,000 bonds were converted to ordinary shares on December 31, 2025.
Allocation of Bond Issue Price
Again, before answering the scenarios, it is important to first allocate the proceeds
to the liability and equity components:
Total issue price P5,050,000
Less: Liability component (equal to its fair value) (4,630,409)
Equity component (residual amount) P419,591

These carrying amounts will be the basis of each of the foregoing scenarios.
Answer - Scenario 1 - All bonds were converted on December 31, 2024
The computations of the issue price of the equity instruments and the amount of
share premium — issuance are as follows:
Carrying amount of bonds payable, 12/31/24 P4,755,627
Add: Full amount of share premium - convertibility 419,591
Issue price of equity instruments P5,175,218

To record the partial conversion of the bonds payable to ordinary shares:


Bonds payable (4,000 x P1,000) 4,000,000
Share premium - convertibility 335,673
Discount on bonds payable
(P171,254 x 4,000/5,000) 137,003
Share capital 3,200,000
Share premium - issuance 998,670

Generalizations - Scenarios 1 and 2


Based on the two scenarios, the net increase in the shareholders’ equity is equal
to the carrying amount of the bonds payable converted.

RETIREMENT OF THE BONDS


The issuer of the bonds with share warrants or convertibility option may decide to
retire all or a portion of the bonds before the maturity date by paying the holders a
certain amount.
Consistent with the initial recognition, the retirement amount to be paid to holders
shall also be allocated to the liability and equity components in the following manner:
a. first, allocate to the liability component using its fair value, without the
share warrants or convertibility option, on the date of payment.
b. any excess of the amount to be paid to holders over the amount allocated to
liability component will be allocated to the equity component.
The readers should take note that this is similar to the allocation procedures
involving the allocation of the issue price of the bonds on the initial recognition.
The retirement of the bonds with share warrants or convertibility option has the
following accounting consequences:
a. The difference between the carrying amount of the liability component and the
allocated retirement amount is recognized as gain or loss in profit or loss:
Scenario | Consequences
CA of liability component > allocated retirement price Gain on retirement
CA of liability component < allocated retirement price Loss on retirement

b. The difference between the carrying amount of the equity component and the
allocated retirement amount is recognized directly in equity.
Illustration 5. On January 1, 2023, SANTOS Company issued four-year, 8%
interest-bearing bonds with aggregate par value of P4,000,000 at a total price of
P4,150,000. The bonds are convertible to 100,000 ordinary shares with P30 par
value. Without the conversion option, the bonds can be issued at 10% market yield.
On December 31, 2024, the Company decided to retire the bonds by paying the
bondholders a total amount of P4,050,000. As of the same date, similar bonds

181

without conversion option have a 9% market yield. Required: Based on the given
information, determine the journal entry to record the retirement of the bonds.
Answer:
1. First, allocate the issue price of P4,150,000 on January 1, 2023:
Total issue price P4,150,000
Less: Liability component (equal to its fair value) (3,746,409)
Equity component (residual amount) P403,591
The fair value of the liability component is computed as:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flow Total PV
Single payment for 4 periods at 10% 0.683013 P4,000,000 P2,732,052
Ordinary annuity for 4 periods at10% 3.169865 320,000 1,014,357
FV, Liability component P3,746,409
2. Next, compute for the carrying amount of the liability as of December 31, 2024
using the following amortization table:
Interest Interest ‘Amorti Carrying Discount on
Date Paid Expense -zation Amount Bonds Payable
Jan. 1, 2023 3,746,409 253,591

Dec. 31,2024 320,000 - 380,105 60,105 3,861,155 138,845
3. Next, allocate the retirement price of P4,050,000 as follows:
Total retirement price P4,050,000
Less: Liability component (equal to its fair value) (3,929,636)
Equity component (residual amount) P120,364
The fair value of the bond payable as of December 31, 2024 was computed as:
PV Factor of PVFactor CashFlow Total PV
Single payment for 2 periods at 9% 0.841680 P4,000,000 3,366,720
Ordinary annuity for 2 periodsat9% 1.759111 320,000 562,916
FV, Liability Component 3,929,636
Two (2) periods were used since, as of December 31, 2024, there were only two
periods left before the bonds’ maturity date of December 31, 2026. In addition,
market yield of 9% was used to determine the fair value on December 31, 2024.

4. Theallocated retirement price to each componentis compared with the relevant


carrying amounts to determine the amount of gain or loss on retirement:
Carrying amount of bonds payable, 12/31/24 P3,861,155
Less: Retirement price allocated to bonds payable (3,929,636)
Loss on retirement to be recognized in profit or loss P68,481

The amount allocated to equity component (i.e, P120,364) will simply be


deducted (i.e., debited) from the balance of share premium - convertibility
account (i.e., not recognized in profit or loss, nor in other comprehensive income).
The entry to record the retirement on December 31, 2024 is as follows:
Bonds payable 4,000,000
Share premium - convertibility 120,364
Loss on retirement - P/L 68,481
Discount on bonds payable 138,845
Cash (equal to retirement price) 4,050,000

NON-EXERCISE OF THE SHARE WARRANTS OR CONVERTIBILITY OPTION


In case some orall of the share warrants or convertibility option were not exercised
before they lapse, an entity may directly transfer the balance in the share premium
— warrants or share premium - convertibility option to other equity accounts (e.g.,
share premium - others). Pro-forma journal to record the direct transfer is as
follows:
Share premium - convertibility XX

CHAPTER SUMMARY
i A compound financial instrument includes both liability and equity components.
Zi The proceeds from the issuance of compound financial instrument shall be allocated
in the following manner:
a. first, equal to the fair value of the liability component
b. any excess of proceeds from the fair value of the liability component shall be
allocated to the equity component
Subsequent to the initial recognition, each component is accounted for separately.
al ad

In case the share warrants are exercised, the total issue price of the shares is
computed as follows:
Cash received from exercise price of share warrants Pxx
Add: Full or proportional amount of share premium - share warrant XX
Issue price of equity instruments Pxx
In case the convertibility option is exercised, the total issue price of the shares is
computed as follows:
Updated carrying amount of bonds (full or partial) Pxx
Add: Full or proportional amount of share premium - convertibility XX
Issue price of equity instruments Pxx
Any excess of the issue price over the total par value of the issued shares shall be
credited to share premium - issuance. No gain or loss shall be recognized.
When the share warrants are exercised, the amount of net increase in equity is equal
to the amount of cash received.
When the convertibility option is exercised, the amount of net increase in equity is
equal to the carrying amount of the converted bonds on the date of conversion.
In case the bonds were retired before maturity date, the retirement price shall be
allocated in the same manner as the allocation of the proceeds in (2) above. The
following are the relevant accounting procedures:
a. The difference between the carrying amount of the liability component and the
allocated retirement amount is recognized in gain or loss in profit or loss:
b. The difference between the carrying amount of the equity component and the
allocated retirement amount is recognized directly in equity.

CHAPTER 8
EXTINGUISHMENT OF LIABILITIES
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


The momenta financial liability is extinguished.
The accounting for extinguishment by payment of cash.
ele

The accounting for extinguishment by payment of noncash asset.


The accounting for extinguishment by issuance of own equity securities.
The accounting for modification of terms.

EXTINGUISHMENT OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES


An entity shall derecognize (i.e., remove from the records) a financial liability from
its statement of financial position when, and only when, it is extinguished (i-e., when
the obligation specified in the contract has been discharged or cancelled or
expired). [PFRS 9.3.3.1].
Examples of events that will extinguish financial liabilities include, but are not
limited, to the following:
a. Payment of cash to holders of financial liability on or before the maturity date.
b. Payment of non-cash assets to holders of financial liability on or before the
maturity date (i.e., dacion en pago).
c. Issuing of an entity’s own equity instruments to settle a financial liability.
d. Substantial modification of the terms of the financial liability
Each of these examples are discussed in the succeeding sections.

PAYMENT OF CASH
This the most common way of extinguishing financial liabilities since the creditors
or lenders will have no objections since obligations are normally payable in cash.
Any difference between the amount of cash paid and the updated carrying
amount of the financial liability shall be recognized in the profit or loss. The
following rules are relevant:
Scenario | Gain or Loss
Cash paid < carrying amount of the liability | Gain on extinguishment
Cash paid > carrying amount of the liability | Loss on extinguishment
Cash paid = carrying amount of the liability No gain or loss

The carrying amount of the financial liability will depend on the accounting method
applied by an entity (i.e., amortized cost or at fair value through profit or loss).

Illustration 1. GONZALES Company had a financial liability that has a carrying


amount of P4,500,000 as of December 31, 2023. On the same date, the Company
paid cash to the creditors to extinguish the said liability. Required: Under each of
the following independent scenarios, determine the journal entry to record the
payment of the liability:
1. Amount paid was P4,850,000.
2. Amount paid was P4,420,000.
Answer - Scenario 1
The journal entry to record the payment of financial liability is as follows:
Financial liability, net 4,500,000
Loss on extinguishment 350,000
Cash 4,850,000
Answer - Scenario 2
The journal entry to record the payment of financial liability is as follows:
Financial liability, net 4,500,000
Cash 4,420,000
Gain on extinguishment 80,000

PAYMENT OF NONCASH ASSETS


When an entity does not have enough cash on hand to pay its maturing liability, it
may enter into an agreement with its creditors to pay with noncash assets instead.
The creditors may not easily agree with the arrangement because of the following
factors:
a. The creditor might not be able to use the noncash asset, and it might also incur
unnecessary /additional efforts to convert the received noncash asset to cash.
b. The creditor assumes the risk of decrease in the value of the noncash asset.

Nevertheless, if the creditor agrees to accept the noncash payment, the borrower
entity will now be released from its liability, regardless of the difference between the
value of the noncash asset and the carrying amount of the financial liability. Such
transaction is called “dacion en pago”.
Any difference between the updated carrying amount (CA) of the financial
liability and the carrying amount (CA) of the noncash asset paid is recognized
in profit or loss, The following are the relevant rules:

Scenario Gain or Loss


CA of noncash asset < CA of the liability | Gain on extinguishment
CA of noncash asset > CA of the liability | Loss on extinguishment
The readers should take note that the fair value of the noncash asset is not
relevant in this case.

Illustration 2. BAUTISTA Company was short on cash when one of its loan payable
with carrying amount of P6,000,000 matured. The Company entered into an
agreement with the creditor to accept noncash asset as payment. Required: Under
each of the following independent cases of noncash asset payments, determine the
journal entry to record the payment of the loan payable:
1. A building with original cost of P15,000,000 and accumulated depreciation of
P9,500,000 is to be transferred to the creditor. The building has a fair value of
P4,800,000.
2. A vacant lot classified as investment property with carrying amount of
P6,450,000 is to be transferred:to the creditor. The land has a fair value of
P7,250,000 and accounted using the cost model.
Answer - Scenario 1
There is a gain on extinguishment since the P5,500,000 (P15M - P9.5) carrying
amount of the building is lower than the carrying amount of the loan payable at
P6,000,000. The journal entry to record the dacion en pago is as follows:
Loan payable 6,000,000
Accumulated depreciation 9,500,000
Building 15,000,000
Gain on extinguishment 500,000

Answer - Scenario 2
There is a loss on extinguishment since the carrying amount of the land (P6,450,000)
is higher than the carrying amount of the loan payable at P6,000,000. The journal
entry to record the dacion en pago is as follows:
Loan payable 6,000,000
Loss on extinguishment ‘ 450,000
Investment property - land 6,450,000
The readers should take note that under both scenarios, the fair values of the
noncash assets were not considered in computing the total amount of gain or loss
on extinguishment.

ISSUANCE OF AN ENTITY’S OWN EQUITY INSTRUMENTS


An entity may also issue its own equity instruments as payment to its maturing
liability (this transaction can also be called “debt-for-equity swap”). In this kind of
transaction, the entity’s liability will become part of its equity. The creditor's
agreement in this transaction will depend on the balancing of the following factors:
a. There is a chance that the aggregate value of the equity instruments will greatly
exceed the amount of the extinguished liability (ie, advantageous). On the
flipside, there is also a chance that the aggregate value of the equity instruments
will become lower than the amount of: the extinguished liability (i.e.
disadvantageous).

194

Chapter 8 - Extinguishment of Liabilities

b. The creditor will now become a part-time owner of the entity and that it will
receive dividends instead of fixed amounts of interest. However, the existence
and amounts of dividends will still depend on the declaration of the entity.

ACCOUNTING FOR ISSUANCE OF AN ENTITY'S OWN EQUITY INSTRUMENTS


Accounting for this kind of transaction is covered by IFRIC 19, Extinguishing
Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments. The readers should be informed as
early as now the scope limitation of the accounting procedures to be discussed:
a. The equity instruments to be issued by the entity shall be its own equity
instruments. Otherwise, if the equity instruments are from other entities, the
transaction shall be considered as payment of noncash asset (dacion en pago).
b. The issuance of equity instruments shall not be included in the original
terms of the financial liability. As a result, convertible bonds, which in its
original terms allow its conversion to equity instruments, are not covered by
the forthcoming accounting procedures. The actual conversion of convertible
bonds was already covered in Chapter 7.

The following are the steps involving the accounting procedures when an entity
issues its own equity instruments to extinguish its financial liabilities:
1. First, measure the issued equity instruments using the following hierarchy:
a. First Priority: Fair value of issued equity instruments
b. Second Priority: Fair value of extinguished financial liability
c. Third Priority: Carrying amount of extinguished financial liability
2. Next, compare the measurement of issued equity instruments determined in (1)
above and the carrying amount of the extinguished liability. The difference is
recognized in profit or loss. The following are the rules in determining whether
there is a gain or loss on extinguishment:
Scenario Gain or Loss
Measurement of equity instruments < CA of the liability Gain
Measurement of equity instruments > CA of the liability Loss

3. The share premium - issuance is equal to the difference between the


measurement of equity instruments issued and its total par value. This amount
will depend on the measurement of.equity securities issued,

Illustration 3. VILLANUEVA Company had a maturing financial liability with


carrying amount of P3,500,000. However, the Company did not have excess cash
nor unused noncash asset to pay the creditor. As a result, the Company entered into
agreement with the creditor with the Company issuing 200,000 ofits P15 par value
ordinary shares as payment for the maturing financial liability. Required: Under
each of the following independent scenarios, determine the journal entry to record
the Company’s issuance of equity instruments as payment to its maturing liability:

1. The shares had fair value of P20/share while the financial liability had fair value
of P3,815,000.
2. The shares had fair value of P20/share while the financial liability’s fair value is
not reliably determinable.
3. The shares’ fair value is not reliably determinable while the financial liability
had fair value of P3,365,000.
4. The fair values of both the shares and the financial liability are not reliably
determinable.

Answer - Scenario 1
1. First, determine the measurement of the issued equity instruments. In this case,
the fair value of the issued equity instruments shall be used since it is the first
priority, and it is determinable:
Measurement of equity instruments (P20 x 200,000) 4,000,000
Less: Aggregate par value (P15 x 200,000) (3,000,000)
Share premium - issuance P1,000,000

2. Next, determine the amount of gain or loss on extinguishment as follows:


Measurement of equity instruments (P20 x 200,000) 4,000,000
Less: Carrying amount of liability (3,500,000)
Loss on extinguishment P500,000

3. Lastly, record the issuance transaction as follows:


Financial liability, net 3,500,000
Loss on extinguishment 500,000
Share capital 3,000,000
Share premium - issuance 1,000,000
Answer - Scenario 2
The answer in this scenario is the same with Scenario 1. The absence of the fair
value of the financial liability is not relevant in this case since the fair value of the
issued equity instruments, as the first priority, is available.
Answer- Scenario 3
1. In this case, the issued equity instruments shall be measured equal to the fait
value of the financial liability since the first priority (ie, fair value of equity
instruments) is not available:
Measurement of equity instruments P3,365,000
Less: Aggregate par value (P15 x 200,000) (3,000,000)
Share premium - issuance P365,000
2. Next, determine the amount of gain or loss on extinguishment as follows:

3. Lastly, record the issuance transaction as follows:


Financial liability, net 3,500,000
Share capital 3,000,000
Share premium - issuance 365,000
Gain on extinguishment 135,000

Answer - Scenario 4
1. The issued equity instruments shall be measured equal to the carrying amount
of_the financial liability since the first priority (i.e, fair value of equity
instruments) and second priority (i.e., fair value of financial liability) are both
not available:
Measurement of equity instruments P3,500,000
Less: Aggregate par value (P15 x 200,000) (3,000,000)
Share premium - issuance P500,000

2. Next, determine the amount of gain or loss on extinguishment as follows:


Measurement of equity instruments P3,500,000
Less: Carrying amount of liability 3,500,000
Gain or loss on extinguishment P-0-

3. Torecord the issuance transaction:

Financial liability, net 3,500,000


Share capital 3,000,000
Share premium - issuance 500,000

Generalizations - Scenarios 1 to 4
The readers should take note that regardless of the measurement of the equity
instruments and the amount of computed gain or loss on extinguishment, the
amount of net increase in the total equity of the issuing entity is equal to the
carrying amount of the extinguished financial liability.
Illustration 4, FERNANDEZ Company has convertible bonds payable with face
amount and carrying amount of P4,000,000. The bonds are convertible to 250,000

option account has a balance of P300,000. The shares have fair value of P18/share
while the bonds payable have fair value of P4,350,000. Required: Determine the
journal entry to record the issuance of the shares as a result of the conversion of the
bonds payable.

Chapter 8 — Extinguishment of Liabilities

The accounting for the actual conversion of the convertible bonds is different from the
concepts discussed in this chapter since the issuance of equity instruments is part of
the original terms of the bonds payable. As a result, the fair values of the shares
and the bonds payable are not relevant and no gain or loss on extinguishment
shall be recognized. This is consistent with the discussion in Chapter 7.
The journal entry to record the conversion of the bonds payable is as follows:
Share premium - convertibility 300,000
Bonds payable 4,000,000
Share capital (P10 x 250,000) 2,500,000
Share premium - issuance (squeeze) 1,800,000

ACCOUNTING FOR PARTIAL EXTINGUISHMENT OF FINANCIAL LIABILITY


So far, the discussions include full extinguishment of financial liabilities. Accounting
procedures for partial extinguishment of the financial liability by payment of cash,
payment of noncash assets and issuance of own equity are substantially the same
with that of full extinguishment.
However, there is an additional step of getting the proportion of the updated
carrying amount corresponding to the partially extinguished portion.
Consequently, there are proportional reductions from the bonds payable account and
premium or discount on bonds payable account. Moving forward, the amounts of
interest expense and carrying amount are all based on the remaining bonds.

Illustration 5. FRANCISCO Company had an outstanding bond payable of


P10,000,000 and balance of P600,000 in its discount on bonds payable account.
Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios of partial
extinguishment, determine the amount of gain or loss on extinguishment:
1. Half of the bonds were redeemed from the bondholders by paying P5,120,000.
2. 60% of the bonds were redeemed by transferring a land with carrying amount
of P5,500,000 and fair value of P5,850,000.
3. 40% of the bonds were paid by issuing 100,000 shares of the Company with
P35/share fair value and P20 par value. The bonds have a total fair value of
P9,800,000.
First, determine the carrying amount of the bonds payable to be used in all of the
succeeding scenarios:
Bonds payable P10,000,000
Less: Discount on bonds payable (600,000)
Carrying amount of bonds payable P9,400,000

Answer - Scenario 1
Comparing the portion of the bond’s carrying amount and the amount of cash paid:

Portion of bonds payable (P9,400,000x 44) P4,700,000


Less: Cash paid (5,120,000)
Loss on extinguishment in profit or loss P420,000
Answer - Scenario 2
Comparing the portion of the bond’s carrying amount and the noncash asset
transferred:
Portion of bonds payable (P9,400,000x 60%) — P5,640,000
Less: Carrying amount of noncash asset (5,500,000)
Gain on extinguishment in profit or loss P140,000

Again, the land’s fair value of P5,850,000 was not used in the computations.
Answer - Scenario 3
Since the fair value of the issued equity shares is available (i.e., first priority), the
fair value of the bonds payable (i.e., second priority) shall be ignored:
Portion of bonds payable (P9,400,000 x 40%) P3,760,000
Less: Fair value of issued equity instruments (100,000 x P35) __ (3,500,000)
Gain on extinguishment in profit or loss P260,000
ACCOUNTING FOR THE EXTINGUISHMENT OF FINANCIAL LIABILITY NOT ON
INTEREST PAYMENT DATE
When accounting for the extinguishment of its financial liabilities, it should be
highlighted that an entity shall determine the updated carrying amount of its
financial liabilities.
This is particularly true when there is a discount or premium and that the
extinguishment happened on a non-interest payment date. In that case, the
discount or premium shall be proportionally amortized up to the date of
liability extinguishment using the following rules on amortization:
a. Add the proportional amortization of discount to the carrying amount of the
liability as of the immediately preceding interest payment date.
b. Less the proportional amortization, of premium from the carrying amount of
the liability as of the immediately preceding interest payment date.
The reason for this is that the amortization of discount or premium is based on
the passage of time. In addition, accrued interest up to the date of
extinguishment shall also be paid.

Illustration 6. RIVERA Company reported the following amortization table of one


of its bonds payable with face amount of P4,000,000, stated rate of 10% and
effective interest rate of 8%:

Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the
journal entry to record the extinguishment of the bonds payable:
1. On July 1, 2026, the bonds were retired by paying the bondholders P4,150,000
plus accrued interest.
2. On October 1, 2025, the bonds were retired by paying the bondholders
P4,250,000 including accrued interest.

Scenario 1
First, compute for the updated carrying amount of the bonds as of July 1, 2026:
Carrying amount, 12/31/25 P4,142,661
Less: Partial premium amortization from
1/1/26 to 7/1/26 (P68,587x 6/12) 34,294
Updated carrying amount, 7/1/26 P4,108,367
This partial amortization of premium shall be recorded on July 1, 2026 as follows:
Premium on bonds payable 34,294
Interest expense 34,294

After recording the entry above, the bonds payable will now have the following
balances as of July 1, 2026:

Bonds payable P4,000,000


Add: Unamortized premium, 7/1/26 (P142,661 - P34,294) 108,367
Updated carrying amount, 7/1/26 P4,108,367
Next, compute the gain or loss on extinguishment as follows:
Updated carrying amount, 7/1/26 P4,108,367
Less: Retirement price (excluding accrued interest) 4,150,000
Loss on extinguishment P41,633
Next, determine the total amount of cash to be paid to the bondholders as follows:
Retirement price P4,150,000
Plus: Payment for accrued interest (P4,000,000x 10% x 6/12) 200,000
Total amount of cash paid to bondholders P4,350,000

Finally, the extinguishment shall be recorded on July 1, 2026 as follows:

Less: Retirement price less accrued interest
[P4,250,000 - (P4,000,000 x 10% x 9/12)] 3,950,000
Gain on extinguishment P208,538

The readers should take note that the total payment of P4,250,000 to bondholders
already included the accrued interest of P300,000 (P4,000,000 x 10% x 9/12).
Finally, the extinguishment shall be recorded on October 1, 2025 as follows:
Bonds payable 4,000,000
Premium on bonds payable 158,538
Interest expense 300,000
Cash 4,250,000
Gain on extinguishment 208,538
Based on these journal entries, total interest expense for 2025 is P252,370
(P300,000 - P47,630 or P4,206,168 x 8% x 9/12).

MODIFICATION OF TERMS OF FINANCIAL LIABILITY


Normally, when a borrower entity is having a hard time complying with the original
payment terms and conditions (including the payment schedule) of its liability, it
may enter into an agreement with the creditor to modify the terms of the said
liability. This is particularly relevant during the height of the recent pandemic
wherein many business entities struggled to earn income that can be used in paying
their liabilities and corresponding interest amounts. As a result, many of these
entities made concessions with their creditors which may include one or
combinations of the following:
a. Reduction of principal amount
b. Reduction of interest amounts
c. Extension of the maturity date for the payment of principal
d. Extension of the due date for the payment of interest
Nonetheless, terms may be modified even in the absence of financial difficulty.
Accounting for the modification of terms of financial liability will depend on
whether the modification is substantial or not.

DETERMINING WHETHER THE MODIFICATION IS SUBSTANTIAL OR NOT


The following procedures shall be made in determining whether the modification
is substantial or not:
Step 1. First, determine the following amounts:
1. Amount 1 - Present value of revised cash flows discounted using the original
effective interest rate (not the current market rates) plus the amount of
modification costs and fees incurred, if there are any; and
2. Amount 2 - Carrying amount of the financial liability plus accrued interest, if
there is any. Also equal to the present value of the remaining cash flows of the
original financial liability, discounted using the original effective interest rate.
Step 2. Next, express the absolute difference of the two amounts determined in Step
1 as a percentage of the carrying amount of the financial liability. If the percentage
computed is at least 10%, the modification is considered substantial. If it is less
than 10%, the modification is considered as not substantial. The rules can be
summarized using the following formulas:
There is substantial modification if:

Absolute difference of amounts (1) and (2) determined in the Step 1


: : 2 109
Carrying amount of the liability plus accrued interest, if there is any 6
There is NO substantial modification if:

Absolute difference of amounts (1) and (2) determined in the Step 1 < 10%
Carrying amount of the liability plus accrued interest, if there is any

The readers should take note that the addition of the modification costs and fees
incurred to the present value of revised cash flows is done only for the purposes of
determining whether the modification is substantial or not. Ultimate
accounting procedures for these costs will be discussed in the succeeding sections.
Illustration 7. CRUZ Company is currently experiencing financial difficulties and is
concerned that it could miss the scheduled payments of the principal and interest
of one of its loan payables with a carrying amount of P8,000,000. As a result, it
entered into an agreement with the creditor to modify the terms of the loan payable.
Required: Under each of the following independent modification of terms scenarios,
determine whether there is a substantial modification of terms or not:
1. Present value of revised cash flows discounted using the original effective
interest rate amounted to P7,500,000.
2. Present value of revised cash flows discounted using the original effective
interest rate amounted to P6,800,000.
3. Present value of revised cash flows discounted using the original effective
interest rate amounted to P6,000,000. Modification costs and fees incurred
amounted to P350,000.
Answer - Scenario 1
Applying the formula, the percentage is computed as:
|P8,000,000 - P7,500,000|
Difference (in %) = = 6.25%
P8,000,000

Since the difference is 6.25% (i.e., <10%), the modification is not substantial.

Answer - Scenario 2
Applying the formula, the percentage is computed as:

Difference (in %) =
|P8,000,000
- P6,800,000|_ _ 4x5
P8,000,000 re eae
Since the difference is 15% (i.e., >10%), the modification is substantial.
Answer - Scenario 3
Applying the formula, the percentage is computed as:

Difference (in %) =
_|P8,000,000 - (P6,000,000 + P350,000)|_ _ 99 630%
P8.000,000

In this case, the modification costs were added to the PV of the revised cash flows.
Since the difference is 20.63% (i.e., >10%), the modification is substantial.
Generalizations - Scenarios 1 to 3
The carrying amount of the financial liability plus accrued interest, if there is
any, is always used as the denominator in computing the difference in %.

ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES WHEN THERE IS NO SUBSTANTIAL MODIFICATION


When the modification is not considered as substantial, the following accounting
procedures are relevant:
1. Any difference between the following:
a. carrying amount of the financial liability (plus accrued interest, if there is
any); and
b. present value of revised cash flows discounted using the original effective
interest rate
is recognized in gain or loss on modification in the entity's profit or loss. If
(a) > (b), there is a gain on modification. If (a) < (b), there is a loss on
modification.
2. The amount of modification costs and fees incurred, if there are any, are
deducted from the present value of revised cash flows to determine the
carrying amount of the financial liability after the modification. The
following comparison of the treatment of modification costs and fees is relevant:

Purpose | Treatment of Modification Costs


Determining whether the Added to the present value of the
modification is substantial or not revised cash flows
Determining the initial carrying Deducted from the present value of the
amount of the modified liability revised cash flows
3. If there are modification costs and fees, the effective interest rate (EIR) will
change moving forward; otherwise, the EIR will still be the same. The reason
is that these fees have been included in the computation of the modified carrying
amount of the liability after the modification.
4. Arevised amortization table shall be used moving forward.
Illustration 8. On December 31, 2023, GUZMAN Company has an existing fixed-
interest loan payable bearing 9% interest and with carrying amount and face
amount of P10,000,000. It has a remaining term of five years. On the same date, the
Company and the creditor agreed to reduce the interest rate to 8% over the
remaining term. Market rate as of that date averaged 10%. Required: Determine the
procedures in accounting for the modification.
1. First, compute for the present value of the revised cash flows using the 9%
original effective interest rate:
PV Revised
PV Factor of Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Single payment for 5 periods at 9% 0.649931 P10,000,000 P6,499,310

Chapter 8 - Extinguishment of Liabilities

The market rate of 10% shall be ignored in the computations.


2. Next, compute the difference (in %) between the carrying amount of the liability
and the present value of revised cash flows in the following manner:

Difference (in %) = |P10,000,000 - P9,611,031|


P10,000,000 = 3.89%

Since the difference is 3.89% (i.e., <10%), the modification is not substantial.

3. Since the modification is not substantial, the carrying amount of the financial
liability is not derecognized but adjusted to reflect the computed present
value of revised cash flows. The gain on modification is computed as follows:

Carrying amount of the financial liability P10,000,000


Present value of revised cash flows (9,611,031)
Gain on modification P388,969

The journal entry to record the modification is as follows:


Discount on loan payable 388,969
Gain on extinguishment 388,969

After recording the modification, the loan payable’s carrying amount will now
be equal to the present value of revised cash flows:
Loan payable P10,000,000
Less: Discount on loan payable (388,969)
Loan payable, carrying amount after modification P9,611,031

4. Moving forward, the following amortization table shall be used (using the
original effective interest rate of 9%):

Illustration 9. As of December 31, 2023, LOPEZ Company had a loan payable of


P9,000,000 bearing interest rate of 10%. The remaining term of the loan is two
years. On the same date, the Company informed the creditor that it might fail to pay
the loan on the original scheduled date (i.e, December 31, 2025) because of
financial difficulties. As a result, the following modifications were made:
a. Maturity date is extended to December 31, 2027.
b. Interest rate is reduced to 7% (or P630,000 = P9,000,000x 7%), to be paid during
the remaining revised term of four years.
Modification costs incurred amounted to P261,012, which, when considered, will
change the effective interest rate to 11%. Required: Determine the procedures in
accounting for the modification.

1. First, compute for the present value of the revised cash flows using the 10%
original effective interest rate:

Amount to be compared to the carrying amount of the liability P8,405,144
Note: 4 periods is from 12/31/23 to revised maturity date of 12/31/27.

2. Next, compute the difference (in %) between the carrying amount of the liability
and the present value of revised cash flows (including modification costs) in the
following manner:

Difference (in %) = P00 8 P80 Al = 6.61%

Since the difference is 6.61% (i.e., <10%), the modification is not substantial.
3. Again, since the modification is not substantial, the carrying amount of the
financial liability shall only be adjusted to reflect the computed present value of
the revised cash flows. The gain on modification is computed as follows:
Carrying amount of the financial liability P9,000,000
Present value of revised cash flows (8,144,132)
Gain on modification P855,868

The readers should take note that modification costs are not considered in
determining the gain or loss on modification, if there is no substantial
modification. Instead, these costs shall be added to the discount on loan
payable in determining the loan’s carrying amount after the modification.

Illustration 10. As of December 31, 2023, CASTILLO Company reported loan


payable of P8,000,000 and P640,000 accrued interest based on 8% interest. The
remaining term of the loan is one year. However, the Company is currently
experiencing financial difficulties and asked the creditor to modify the terms of the
liability. They agreed to the following modifications: |
a. Maturity date is extended to December 31, 2026.
b. Principal is reduced to P5,000,000.
c. Interest of 6% will be paid every year but based on the reduced amount of
_ principal (P5Mx 6% = P300,000). Accrued interest of P640,000 shall be waived.

Determining whether there is a substantial modification


The following are the procedures in determining whether there is a substantial
modification of terms:
1. First, compute for the present value of the revised cash flows discounted using
the original effective interest rate of 8%:
PV Revised
PV Factor of Factor Cash Flow Total PV
Single payment for 3 periods at 8% 0.793832 P5,000,000 P3,969,160
Ordinary annuity for 3 periods at 8% 2.577097 300,000 773,129
PV of revised cash flows using original EIR P4,742,289
Add: Modification costs 185,000
Amount to be compared to the carrying amount of the liability P4,927,289
Note: 3 periods is from 12/31/23 to revised maturity date of 12/31/26.

2. Next, compute the difference (in %) between the carrying amount of the liability
(including accrued interest payable) and the present value of revised cash flows
(including modification costs) in the following manner:
|(P8,000,000 + P640,000) - P4,927,289|_ _=
Difference
j
(inin 9%) =
(P8,000,000 + P640,000) 42.97%0

Since the difference is 42.97% (i.e., >10%), the modification is substantial.


The readers should take note that these computations are relevant to both the
contemporary and traditional approaches.
Answer - Traditional Approach
1. Since the modification is substantial, the carrying amount of the loan payable
and the related accrued interest shall be derecognized. Consequently, under the
traditional approach, a new liability shall be recognized at an amount equal
to the present value of revised cash flows that is discounted using the
original EIR (i.e., P4,742,289 as computed above). The amount of the net gain
from the extinguishment is determined as follows:
Carrying amount of the loan payable and accruedinterest P8,640,000
Less: Present value of revised cash flows (4,742,289)
Initial amount of gain on extinguishment P3,897,711
Less: Modification costs 185,000
Net gain on extinguishment P3;712,7T1

The amount of the discount on the new loan payable is determined as follows:
Gross carrying amount of loan payable - revised P5,000,000
Less: Present value of revised cash flows 4,742,289
Discount on (new) loan payable P257,711

209

The journal entry to record the modification is as follows:

Interest payable 640,000
Discount on loan payable - new 257,711
Gain on extinguishment 3,897,711
Loan payable - new 5,000,000

The journal entry to record the incurrence of modification is as follows:


Gain on extinguishment 185,000
Cash (modification costs) 185,000

The readers should take note that the when there is a substantial modification,
modification costs are not included in the carrying amount of the new
financial liability but considered in computing the gain on extinguishment.

2. Moving forward, the following amortization table shall be used using the 8%
original EIR:
Interest Interest Amorti- Carrying Discount on
Date Paid Expense zation Amount Loan Payable

Dec.31,2026 300,000 392,594 92,594 5,000,000 -
Answer - Contemporary Approach
1. The difference between the contemporary and traditional approaches starts in
the measurement of the new liability. Under the contemporary approach of
accounting for substantial modification, the new liability shall be measured at
its fair value. The fair value in the illustration is computed by discounting the
revised cash flows using the market rate of 7% on the date of modification:
Revised
PV Factor of PVFactor Cash Flows Total FV
Single payment for 3 periods at 7% 0.816298 P5,000,000 P4,081,490
Ordinary annuity for3 periodsat7% 2.624316 300,000 787,295
FV of the new liability P4,868,785

The amount of net gain from the extinguishment is determined as follows:


Carrying amount of the loan payable and accrued interest P8,640,000
Less: Fair value of the new liability 4,868,785
Initial amount of gain on extinguishment P3,771,215
Less: Modification costs 185,000
Net gain on modification P3,586,215

The amount of the discount on the new loan payable is determined as follows:
Gross carrying amount of loan payable - revised P5,000,000
Less: Fair value of the new liability 4,868,785
Discount on (new) loan payable P131,215

The journal entry to record the modification is as follows:


Loan payable - old 8,000,000
Interest payable 640,000
Discount on loan payable - new 131,215
Gain on extinguishment 3,771,215
Loan payable - new 5,000,000

The journal entry to record the incurrence of modification is as follows:


Gain on extinguishment 185,000
Cash (modification costs) 185,000

After recording these entries, the carrying amount of the new financial
liability is equal to its fair value. Again, the modification costs are not
considered in determining the carrying amount of the new financial liability.
Since the initial measurement of the new liability is different from what is used
in the traditional approach, the contemporary approach will yield a different
amount of gain or loss on extinguishment and amortization table moving
forward. f

2. The following amortization table based on 7% EIR (based on market yield on


the date of modification) shall be used moving forward under the contemporary
approach:

Chapter 8 — Extinguishment of Liabilities

CHAPTER SUMMARY
di An entity shall derecognize a financial liability from its statement of financial
position when, and only when, it is extinguished (i.e, when the obligation specified
in the contract has been discharged or cancelled or expired).
Examples of transactions which may result to the extinguishment of liabilities:
payment of cash; payment of non-cash assets; issuing of an entity’s own equity
instruments; and substantial modification of the terms of the financial liability
The difference between the cash paid and carrying amount of the liability shall be
recognized in profit or loss.
The difference between the carrying amount of the noncash asset transferred and
carrying amount of the liability shall be recognized in profit or loss.
If the liability is extinguished by an entity issuing its own equity securities, the
difference between the measurement of equity securities and the carrying amount
of the liability shall be recognized in profit or loss.
The measurement of the issued own equity securities shall be based on the following
hierarchy:
a. first, FV of equity securities issued
b. second, FV of extinguished liability
c. lastly, carrying amount of extinguished liability
Of course, the amounts of share premium - issuance and gain or loss on
extinguishment will change depending on which amount in the hierarchy is
available.

If there is only a partial extinguishment of liability, only an aliquot portion of the


carrying amount shall be derecognized and compared with the proceeds received to
determine the gain or loss on extinguishment.
If the extinguishment of liability happened not on an interest payment date, the
following accounting procedures are relevant:
a. Update the carrying amount of the liability. If it is subject to amortization, make
a partial amortization from the immediately preceding interest payment date
until the date of extinguishment.
b. Additional payments shall be made for the accrued interest from the
immediately preceding interest payment date until the date of extinguishment.
c. Gain or loss on extinguishment is the difference between amount paid
(excluding accrued interest) and the updated carrying amount of the liability.
9. As to modification of terms, accounting procedures will depend whether there is a
substantial modification or not.
10.The following are the procedures in determining whether the modification is
substantial or not:
Step 1. First, determine the following amounts:
1. Present value of revised cash flows discounted using the original effective
interest rate plus the amount of modification costs incurred, if there are any
2, Carrying amount of the financial liability plus accrued interest, if there is any.

212

The

Chapter 8 - Extinguishment of Liabilities

Step 2. Next, express the absolute difference of the two amounts determined in Step
1 as a percentage of the carrying amount of the financial liability:

There is substantial modification if:

Absolute difference of amounts (1) and (2) determined in the Step 1 > 109%
Carrying amount of the liability plus accrued interest, if there is any
There is NO substantial modification if:

Absolute difference of amounts (1) and (2) determined in the Step 1 < 10%
Carrying amount of the liability plus accrued interest, if there is any .

True or False
1. A financial liability shall be derecognized if the creditor condoned the entity’s debt,
event for without consideration.
2. Ifthe amount paid to the creditors is lower than the carrying amount of the related
liability, then there is a loss on extinguishment.
3. Indacion en pago, the total amount to be recognized in profit or loss is equal to the
difference between the fair value of the noncash asset transferred and the carrying
amount of the related liability.
4. Convertible bonds payable are out of scope of IFRIC 19 since the issuance of equity
instruments is included in the original terms of the liability.
5. The first priority in measuring the issued equity securities as payment for a

6. The share premium - issuance is equal to the difference between the carrying
amount of the extinguished liability and the total par value of the equity securities
issued.
7. The gain or loss on the extinguishment ofa liability by issuing an entity’s own equity
securities is the difference between the measurement of the issued equity securities
and the total par value of the issued equity securities.
8. Ifa liability was partially extinguished, only a proportional portion of its carrying
amount shall be derecognized.
9. Ifa liability was extinguished not on one of interest payment dates, the carrying
amount of the liability to be used in determining the gain or loss on extinguishment
shall be as of the immediately preceding interest payment date.
10. Additional amounts shall be paid in the form of accrued interest if a liability is
extinguished not on one ofits interest payment dates.
11. There is a substantial modification of terms of the difference between the PV of the
revised cash flows plus modification costs and carrying amount of the liability is
more than 10% of the carrying amount of the liability.
12. Ifthere is no substantial modification, the existing liability will not be derecognized.
13. If there is a substantial modification, the modification costs shall reduce the initial
measurement of the new liability.
14. If there is no substantial modification, the effective interest rate shall not change
after modification, except when there are modification costs.
15. Ifthere is a substantial modification and the entity is using the traditional approach,
the initial liability is equal to the present value of revised cash flows discounted
using the original effective interest rate.

5. On January i, 2023, OSTRICH Company issued eight-year, 8% interest-bearing


bonds payable with total face amount of P8,000,000 when market yields averaged
9%. Interest is payable every December 31 of each year. In addition, the Company’s
ordinary shares have par value of P10.

During the term of the bonds, the Company experienced financial difficulties and
contemplated to issue a certain number of its ordinary shares.

Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the journal
entry to record the extinguishment of the bonds payable:
1. On December 31, 2024, 650,000 ordinary shares were issued when their fair
value amounted to P11 per share. The bonds were quoted at P7,300,000.
2. On December 31, 2025, 700,000 ordinary shares were issued; however, fair
value of the shares are not reliably determinable. The bonds were quoted at
98.50.
3. On July 1, 2026, 680,000 ordinary shares were issued when their fair value
amounted to P12 per share. The issuance is for the payment of all the Company’s
obligation from the bonds. The bonds have no fair value.

6. On December 31, 2023, CASSOWARY had a loan payable with carrying amount of
P6,000,000 and interest of 10% that will mature in two years. There was no accrued
interest payable as of the same date.
The Company projects that it will be having financial difficulty for the next five years.
As a result, on the same date, it consulted with the bank if the terms can be modified
to give the Company more time to pay the loan. After the lengthy process, the
Company and the bank agreed the following modifications:
a. Extending the maturity date to December 31, 2029.
b. Interest to be paid annually will be reduced to 9%,
Market rates as of that date averaged 11%. Modification costs were immaterial.
Required: From the given information, determine the following:
a. Journal entry to record the modification on December 31, 2023.
b. Journal entry to record the interest and amortization on December 31, 2024

CHAPTER 9
LESSEE ACCOUNTING - BASIC CONSIDERATIONS
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


The parties in a lease contract.
Pr

The general accounting requirement for leases in the lessee’s perspective.


PWN

The initial measurement and subsequent accounting for right-of-use asset.


The initial measurement and subsequent accounting for lease liability.
The financial reporting for the right-of-use asset and lease liability.
AM

The accounting for the exceptions (i.e., short-term lease and lease of low-value
assets) in the general lessee accounting model.

LEASES - BACKGROUND
Entities usually invest in property development, construction of buildings and
office spaces, and construction of heavy machinery and equipment for the use of
other entities. The technical term for this contract is called a lease. A lease is a
contract, or part ofa contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying
asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. [PFRS 16.A].
Good examples for property leases are those found in Makati Central Business
District, Ortigas Center, and Bonifacio Global City where property developers
construct office spaces in high-rising buildings and shopping malls for other
entities’ use. Other entities, such as aircraft manufacturers, build aircrafts for lease
to airline companies.

The following are the parties in a lease contract:


a. Lessor is the entity who leases out underlying asset and receives consideration.
b. Lessee is the entity who uses the underlying asset and pays consideration.
The lease agreement between the lessor and the lessee is usually documented in a
contract which contains the duration of the lease, asset which is the object of the
lease, lease payments, lease conditions, and other matters concerning the lease.

SOME REASONS WHY LESSEES ENTER INTO LEASE CONTRACTS


The following are some of the reasons why lessees enter into lease contracts:
a. Most leases are structured as financing transactions. Instead of entities
having a large initial outlay of cash when acquiring assets, they can defer its cash
payment into future periods by way of scheduled rental payments.
b. Leases have more flexible terms compared to bank financing. Since the
leased asset can be viewed as the security or the “collateral”, a lease contract is
not subject to strict covenants unlike in a plain bank financing.

224

The

Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cs CamScanner
Chapter 9 - Lessee Accounting — Basic Considerations

c. Less exposure to obsolescence. Since the lessee is not the owner of the leased
asset, it can easily get rid of the obsolete asset by the end of the lease term.
d. Lessee’s focus on its main operations. Most of the underlying assets covered
by lease contracts are substantially ready for use at the start of the lease
contract, save for those with some minor retrofitting, if there are any. Because
of this, a lessee can focus on its main operations rather than constructing its own
asset.

LESSEE ACCOUNTING FOR LEASES


PFRS 16, Leases, introduces a general lessee accounting model which requires a
lessee to recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and corresponding lease liability,
save for some exceptions.
ROU asset represents the control and the right of the lessee to use the asset during
the lease term but not the legal ownership of the underlying asset. Lease liability
represents the present value of lease payments to be made during the lease term.

ROU asset and lease liability are both recognized on the commencement date. This
is the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee.

The exceptions to this general lessee accounting model, which will be discussed later
in the chapter, are the following:
a. Short-term leases (lease term of not more than 12 months)
b. Leases of low-value assets

RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET - INITIAL MEASUREMENT


The lessee should initially measure the right-of-use of asset at cost. The cost of the
right-of-use asset consists of:
a. initial measurement of lease liability;
b. any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease
incentives received;
c. any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
d. asset retirement obligation that is to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling
and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site, on which it is located, or
restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and
conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred in producing inventories.
Security deposit paid shall be recognized as a separate asset and shall be excluded
from the cost of ROU asset since it can be recovered later on from the lessor.

LEASE LIABILITY - INITIAL MEASUREMENT


The measurement of lease liability will be discussed first since this is the major
component in the initial measurement of ROU asset. The following aspects about
the initial measurement of the lease liability are to be discussed in this section:
a. Discount rate to be used in computing the present value of lease payments
225

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cS CamScanner
Chapter 9 — Lessee Accounting - Basic Considerations

b. Amounts and number of lease payments to be included in the lease liability


c. Extension and termination options on the lease term
Depending on the circumstances, the initial amount of lease liability can be
either equal to or lower (but not higher) than the initial amount of ROU asset.
DISCOUNT RATE
Since the lease liability is a present value amount, the future cash flows included in
its measurement shall be discounted. The rate to be used is determined using the
following hierarchy:
a. First, the implicit rate on the lease, if known by the lessee.
b. Otherwise, the lessee shall use its own incremental borrowing rate.
For example, in a lease contract, the implicit rate is 10% and lessee’s incremental
borrowing rate is 12%. If the lessee knows the implicit rate, it shall use 10% in
discounting the lease payments; otherwise, it shall use 12%.
In practice, this implicit rate is seldom known by the lessee as this represents the
rate that the lessor is earning from the lease.
Incremental borrowing rate is the interest that a lessee would have to pay to
borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to
obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic
environment. [PFRS 16.A].

LEASE LIABILITY - LEASE PAYMENTS


The following shall be included in the present value of lease payments as of
commencement date for the right to use the underlying asset to the extent that they
were not paid as of commencement date:
a. fixed payments less any lease incentives to be received;
b. variable lease payments that depend on an index, initially measured using the
index or rate as at the commencement date;
c. amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
d. exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise
that option; and
e. payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the
lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

These inclusions in the lease liability amount are to be discussed bit-by-bit in the
succeeding sections. Item e will be discussed much later in the chapter.

On the other hand, the following amounts, which are otherwise considered as
payments connected with a lease, are excluded from the initial measurement of
lease liability:
a. non-lease payments such as payments related to utilities, service fees, security
fees, maintenance fees, association dues, and other related expenses; and
226

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cs CamScanner
Chapter 9 — Lessee Accounting — Basic Considerations

b. variable lease payments as percentage of the lessee’s revenue, output or


future performance. However, the minimum amount of lease payments and
variable lease payments based on an index (e.g., consumer price index, general
price index, etc.), if there are any, shall still be included in the initial
measurement of lease liability as fixed payments.
These exclusions from lease liability are recognized as expenses when incurred.
FIXED LEASE PAYMENTS
At the minimum, a lease contract normally contains the usual periodic lease
payments (e.g., annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly lease payments). “Fixed”
lease payments in this context means “determinable” lease payments, rather than
“equal” lease payments per period. A good example of this is the monthly rentals
for the apartments or dormitories rented out by the students.
Depending on the characteristics of cash flows, the following present value factors
are to be applied, as previously encountered in earlier chapters:

PV Factors es » Applicable to
PV of ordinary annuity Lease payments are made at the end of each period
PV of annuity due Lease payments are made at the beginning of each period
Series of PV of single | Lease payments are not equal with each other and/or the
payment length of time between each payment is not uniform

The readers should take note that PV of annuity due = PV of ordinary annuity x (1 +
r%). Usually, lease contracts require payments at the beginning of each period,
hence, expect the heavy use of PV of annuity due in the chapters involving leases.
Illustration 1. RICO Company leased a vehicle from a lessor by paying P400,000
annually for the next five years. Implicit rate on the lease, which is not known by the
Company is 6%. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is 7%. Required: Under
each of the following independent scenarios, determine the initial amount of lease
liability and ROU asset:
1. Lease payments are made at the end of each period.
2. Lease payments are made at the beginning of each period.
Scenario 1 - Lease payments are made at the end of each period
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PVFactor Cash Flows ROU Asset

The following shall be noted: .


a. Since the lease payments are to be made at the end of each period, the PV factor
of ordinary annuity was used. oo.
b. Since the implicit rate of 6% is not known by the Company, its incremental
borrowing rate of 7% shall be used instead.

c. Since there were no other information given, the initial measurements of lease
liability and ROU asset are equal. This will be the same case as in Scenario 2.
Journal entry to record the transaction on commencement date:
Right-of-use asset 1,640,079
Lease liability 1,640,079

Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PVFactor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Annuity due for 5 periods at 7% 4.387211 P400,000 P1,754,884

Since the lease payments are to be made at the beginning of each period, the PV
factor of annuity due was used.
Illustration 2. At the beginning of 2023, PUNZALAN Company leased a commercial
space from a lessor for four years. The following are the relevant provisions:
a. Annual payments of P1,400,000 are due every January 1 of each year, starting in
2023. This is inclusive of P200,000 annual security and maintenance fee.
b. Additional rent of 3% of revenues are to be paid to the lessor. Company’s
revenue for 2023 amounted to P8,000,000. The Company also incurred initial
direct costs of P300,000.
c. Security deposit of P800,000 is required to be paid on January 1, 2023.
Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2023 was 8%.
In this case, the initial amount of lease liability shall be computed as follows:
PV Factor of PVFactor Cash Flows Lease Liab.
Annuity due for 4 periods at 8% 3.577097 P1,200,000 P4,292,516

The following points should be noted:


a. The P200,000 security and maintenance fee is a non-lease payment, hence,
deducted from the total annual payment to arrive at P1,200,000 (P1,400,000 -
P200,000) annual lease payment.
b. Variable lease payments of 3% of revenues are excluded in the measurement of
lease liability. These will be recorded as additional expense during the period they
were incurred. Rental expense based on this for 2023 is P240,000 (P8M x 3%).
c. Security deposit is recognized as a separate asset. However, there are initial
direct costs of P300,000, making the initial amount of ROU asset different
from initial amount of lease liability, as follows:
Initial measurement of lease liability P4,292,516
Add: Initial direct costs incurred by lessee 300,000
Initial measurement, ROU asset P4,592,516

Lease contracts normally run for a fixed period of time wherein the purchasing
power of money may drastically decrease or increase because of inflation or
deflation, respectively. To address this, some lease contracts contain provisions to
adjust the periodic lease payments prospectively in response to changes in the
relevant index or rate. This is to be discussed in the succeeding chapter.
RESIDUAL VALUE GUARANTEES
Underlying assets of lease contracts normally diminish in value at the end of the
related lease term. As a result, lessees may guarantee a minimum value of the
underlying asset at the end of the lease term to create an incentive for the lessor to
enter into a lease contract. Lessees shall pay any shortfall from this minimum value.
Note: Shortfall = Guaranteed amount less expected value at the end of the lease.

For example, a lessee made a residual value guarantee of P1,000,000. If the


underlying asset’s value at the end of the lease term is at least P1,000,000, no
additional amounts shall be paid. However, if the underlying asset’s value go below
P1,000,000 at the end of lease term, say at P800,000, the lessee shall pay the shortfall,
in this case P200,000 (P1,000,000 less P800,000).
In computing the lease liability, the identity of the entity guaranteeing the residual
value is relevant. Particularly, the residual value guarantee shall only be included
in the lease liability if the guarantor is either of the following:
a. lessee; or
b. an entity related to lessee.

If the entity guaranteeing the residual value is an entity related to the lessor, it
will be considered as unguaranteed residual value and will be excluded from the
lease liability.

The readers should take note that the amount to be included in the lease liability is
the present value of expected amount of the shortfall, which is not necessarily the
amount of residual value guarantee.
There is an expected shortfall only if guaranteed residual value > expected value
of the leased asset as of the end of lease term. For this expected amount of
shortfall, we will be using the PV of single payment.

contract covering a vehicle. Annual lease payments of P600,000 are due at the start

of each year, starting on January 1, 2023. In addition, the Company also made a
residual value guarantee that the asset’s value at the end of lease term is at least
P800,000. Unguaranteed residual value amounted to P950,000. Company’s
incremental borrowing rate is 6%. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the initial measurement of lease liability and
ROU asset:
1. Expected value of the asset is P300,000 at the end of the lease term.
2. Expected value of the asset is P1,000,000 at the end of the lease term.

Scenario 1 - Expected value of the asset is P300,000


In this scenario, the amount of expected shortfall to be paid at the end of lease term
is P500,000 (P800,000 - P300,000). Initial measurement of lease liability and ROU
asset are computed as follows:
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Single payment for 5 periods at 6% 0.747258 P500,000 P373,629
Annuity due for 5 periods at 6% 4.465106 600,000 2,679,064
Initial Measurement, Lease Liability/ROU Asset P3,052,693

Scenario 2 - Expected value of the asset is P1,000,000


In this scenario, there is no expected shortfall to be paid at the end of lease term
since the expected value is more than the residual value guarantee. Initial
measurement of lease liability and ROU asset are computed as follows:
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Single payment for 5 periods at 6% 0.747258 P- px
Annuity due for 5 periods at 6% 4.465106 600,000 2,679,064
Initial Measurement, Lease Liability/ROU Asset P2,679,064

Scenarios 1 and 2 - Generalizations


1. The amount of unguaranteed residual value will never be included in the
lease liability.
2. The amount to be included in the measurement of the lease liability is not
necessarily the amount of guaranteed residual value. Instead, the amount of
expected shortfall, if any, shall be included.
3. Expected shortfall will be included in the lease liability only if expected value <
residual value guarantee.
PURCHASE OPTIONS
Generally, the lessee shall return the underlying asset to the lessor at the end of the
lease term. However, some lease contracts may provide an option to the lessee to
purchase the underlying asset at a specified purchase price at the end of lease term.

Chapter 9 - Lessee Accounting - Basic Considerations

In this case, the present value of the purchase price shall be included in the
lease liability only when the lessee is reasonably expected to exercise it. There
are many factors to consider whether or not to exercise the purchase option, such
as, but not limited to, the following:
a. contractual terms and conditions for the optional periods compared with
market rates
b. significant leasehold improvements undertaken
c. costs relating to the termination of the lease
d. the importance of that underlying asset to the lessee’s operations
e. conditionality associated with exercising the option /PFRS 16.B37].
As a result, even though there is a bargain purchase option (expected asset value >
purchase option price) at the end of the lease term, it is not automatic that the lessee
will exercise the option; consideration of other factors may still result to its non-
exercise.

Conversely, even if there is no bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term,
it is possible that the lessee can still reasonably expect to exercise the purchase
option.

Illustration 4. BERNABE Company entered into a six-year lease contract on


January 1, 2023. Annual lease payments of P1,500,000 are due at the start of each
year, starting on January 1, 2023. In addition, the lease contract gives the Company
the option to purchase the underlying asset for P900,000 at the end of the lease
term. Incremental borrowing rate is 9%. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the initial measurement of lease liability and
ROU asset:
1. Expected value of the asset is P900,000 at the end of the lease term and the
lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option.
2. Expected value of the asset is P1,200,000 at the end of the lease term but the
lessee is not reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option.
Scenario 1 - Reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option
Since it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the purchase option, it will
be included in the computation of the lease liability and ROU asset as follows:
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PV Factor CashFlows ROU Asset
Single payment for 6 periods at 9% 0.596267 P900,000 P536,640
Annuity due for 6 periods at 9% 4.889651 1,500,000 7,334,477
Initial Measurement, Lease Liability/ROU Asset 7,871,117

Even though there is no bargain purchase option, the amount of purchase option is
still included in the lease liability computation since the lessee is reasonably certain
to exercise the purchase option.

Scenario 2 - Not reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option


Since it is not reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the purchase option,
it will be excluded in the computation of lease liability and ROU asset as follows:
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PVFactor CashFlows ROU Asset
Single payment for 6 periods at 9% 0.596267 P- P-
Annuity due for 6 periods at 9% 4.485919 1,500,000 7,334,477
Initial Measurement, Lease Liability/ROU Asset P7,334,477

Even though there is a bargain purchase option (P1,200,000 > P900,000), the
amount of purchase option was still excluded in the lease liability computation since
the lessee is NOT reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option.
Scenarios 1 and 2 - Generalizations and Comparison
1. Similar to residual value guarantee, the amount to be paid for the purchase
option is presumed to be made at the end of the lease term, hence the use of PV
of single payment.
2. The amounts to be included in the lease liability computations from residual
value guarantee and purchase option are compared as follows:
Amounts included in lease liability

SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT OF RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET


Generally, ROU asset is subsequently measured using the cost model which is cost:
a. less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses; and
b. add or less the adjustments to the lease liability (to be discussed in the next
chapter).
Depending on the lease contract, the following are the relevant guidelines in
depreciating ROU assets:
Ref Scenario Depreciation period | Depreciable amount
A Basic lease contract Shorter of: Initial measurement

Chapter 9 - Lessee Accounting — Basic Considerations

The following are the rationale for the abovementioned rules:


a. Under scenarios A, B and C, the lease term limits the lessee’s use of the
underlying asset since that asset is required to be returned to the lessor at the
end of the lease term. As a result, the lease term is considered in determining
the depreciation period.
Under scenarios D and E, the lease term does not limit the lessee’s use of the
underlying asset, thus, the lease term is not considered in determining
depreciation period. In addition, the lessee is entitled to the residual value of the

Cc The residual value guarantee is the residual value to be received by the


lessor (i.e., not by the lessee since the underlying asset will be returned to the
lessor at the end of the lease term). As a result, this shall never be deducted to
arrive at the depreciable amount of the ROU asset in the lessee’s perspective.
Aside from the cost model, the ROU asset can also be subsequently measured under
the following models:
a. revaluation model - if the underlying asset of the ROU asset belongs to a class
of property, plant and equipment to which lessee applies the revaluation model.
[PFRS 16.35].
fair value model - if the lessee uses fair value model for its investment
properties and the ROU asset meets the definition of investment property. [PFRS
16.34].
SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT - LEASE LIABILITY
Regardless of the subsequent measurement of the corresponding ROU asset, the
lease liability shall subsequently be measured as follows:
a. increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (i.e.,
accretion of interest);
b. reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and
Cc remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease
modifications (to be discussed in the next chapter). [PFRS 16.36].
In short, since we are dealing with present values, we will be using the amortization
table when subsequently measuring the lease liability. The relevant amortization
table will vary depending on the amounts of cash flows included in its initial
measurement (e.g., expected shortfall, purchase option, etc.) The following are the
pro-forma journal entries for the accretion of interest expense at the end of each
year and the periodic payment of lease liability, respectively:

Interest expense XX
Lease liability XX
Lease liability xx

Chapter 9 —- Lessee Accounting — Basic Considerations

In addition, if the lease payments are made at the start of each period, additional
procedures are to be made to properly determine the ending balance of the lease
liability at the end of each year. No such additional procedures are made if the lease
payments are paid at the end of each period.
Illustration 5. On January 1, 2023, BUENAVENTURA Company entered into a four-
year lease contract covering an equipment. The Company is required to pay annual
lease payments of P1,800,000 every January 1 starting in 2023. Incremental
borrowing rate is 7%. Ignoring the lease term, the equipment supposedly can be
used for seven years after which it can be sold for P300,000. Required: Under each
of the following independent scenarios, determine the initial and subsequent
accounting for the ROU asset and lease liability:
1. There were no additional lease provisions (i.e., basic lease contract)
2. There is a residual value guarantee of P1,500,000, with the expected value of the
asset at the end of the lease term set at P700,000.
3. There is a purchase option for P900,000 that is reasonably expected to be
exercised.
4. There is a purchase option for P900,000 that is not reasonably expected to be
exercised.
5. There is a transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term.
Scenario 1 - Basic Lease Contract
The initial measurement of ROU asset and lease liability, and annual depreciation
of ROU asset are computed as follows:

On December 31, 2023, the following entries are to be made:


Depreciation expense 1,630,942
Right-of-use asset 6,523,769

Interest expense 330,664


Lease liability 330,664

It should be noted that the interest expense of P330,664 corresponding on January


1, 2024 in the amortization table really covers the period from January 1, 2023 to
January 1, 2024. As a result, this interest amount has already accreted as of
December 31, 2023.
In addition, neither P4,723,769 nor P3,254,433 is usable as carrying amounts as of
December 31, 2023 since they are both as of January 1 of each corresponding years.
As a result, the carrying amount of the lease liability shall be computed separately
as follows (based on journal entries):

These are the additional procedures that were mentioned earlier and shall be
applied to subsequent periods and to other scenarios, whenever the lease payments
are made at the beginning of each period.
In summary, the following amounts are reported in the income statement and
balance sheet for each year:

2026 1,630,943
Note that the carrying amount of ROU asset is periodically reduced by the annual
depreciation (for example, P4,892,827 = P6,523,769 - P1,630,942). At the end of the
lease term, ROU asset and lease liability have zero carrying amounts since the
underlying asset is to be returned to the lessor.
Scenario 2 - Residual Value Guarantee of P1,500,000
In this case, there is an expected shortfall of P800,000 (P1,500,000 - P700,000). This
is included in the initial measurement of ROU asset and lease liability, and annual
depreciation of ROU asset as follows:
Lease Liab./

2026 1,783,522 52,336 # 800,000 (747,664+52,336)
At the end of the lease term, upon the return of the underlying asset to the lessor,
the following guidelines are relevant:
scenariog:e53745 _ Consequence
Actual shortfall > expected shortfall | Loss on guarantee
Actual shortfall < expected shortfall | Gain on guarantee
Actual shortfall = expected shortfall No gain or loss
In this scenario, the balance of the lease liability on December 31, 2026 is equal to
the initial amount of P800,000 expected shortfall (i.e, P1,500,000 residual value
guarantee less P700,000 expected value of the underlying asset at the end of lease
term).

Subcase 1 - On December 31, 2026, the value of the equipment is P700,000. This
will result to P800,000 actual shortfall to be paid in cash (P1.5M - P700K), which is
equal to P800,000 initially estimated amount of shortfall. In this case, the following
entry shall be made on that date:
Lease liability 800,000
Cash 800,000

Subcase 2 - On December 31, 2026, the value of the equipment is P400,000. This
will result to P1,100,000 actual shortfall to be paid in cash (P1.5M - P400K). In this
case, the following entry shall be made on that date:
Lease liability 800,000
Loss on guarantee (P1.1M-P800K) 300,000
Cash (P1,500,000 - P400,000) 1,100,000
Subcase 3 - On December 31, 2026, the value of the equipment is P1,200,000. This
will result to P300,000 actual shortfall to be paid in cash (P1.5M - P1,.2M). \n this case,
the following entry shall be made on that date:

Scenario 3 - P900,000 Purchase Option Reasonably Expected to be Exercised


Since the purchase option is reasonably expected to be exercised, the purchase
option price is included in the initial measurement of ROU asset and lease liability,
and annual depreciation of ROU asset as follows:
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PVFactor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Single payment for 4 periods at 7% 0.762895 P900,000 P686,606

Depreciable amount of ROU asset P6,910,375
Divide by: Useful life (7 yrs) 7
Annual depreciation, ROU asset P987,196

The readers should take note of the following:


a. Since the underlying asset is usable beyond the end of the four-year lease term,
it shall be depreciated over its own useful life.
b. Relevant residual value at the end of the useful life is deducted in arriving at the
depreciable amount since the lessee is entitled to receive this amount later on.

The following is the amortization table for the lease liability:

Since the lessee (i.e., the Company) can still use the underlying asset after the end
of the lease term, its carrying amount and depreciation expense traverse
beyond the end of the lease term. On the other hand, interest expense and lease
liability are limited at the end of the lease term.
On December 31, 2026, the exercise of the purchase option shall be recorded as
follows:
Lease liability 900,000
Cash 900,000

As of the same date, since the Company now owns the underlying asset, the
following entry may be made to reclassify the carrying amount of the ROU asset:
Equipment 3,261,591
ROU asset 3,261,591

Query: What if, despite the initial assumption that the purchase option will be
exercised, the lessee did not actually exercised the purchase option at the end of the
lease term?

In this case, the underlying asset shall be returned to the lessor and a loss shall be
recognized equal to the difference between the carrying amounts of the ROU asset
and lease liability at the end of the lease term.

For this scenario, the following entry shall be made on December 31, 2026:
Lease liability 900,000
Loss on purchase option 2,361,591
ROU asset 3,261,591

Scenario 4 - P900,000 Purchase Option NOT Reasonably Expected to Exercise


Initial and subsequent accounting for ROU asset and lease liability are the same as
in Scenario 1 (i.e., purchase option price is excluded).
Scenario 5 - Transfer of Ownership at the End of Lease Term
The initial measurement of ROU asset and lease liability, and annual depreciation
are computed as follows:
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Annuity due for 4 periods at 7% 3.624316 P1,800,000 P6,523,769
Less: Residual value at the end of the useful life 300,000
Depreciable amount of ROU asset P6,223,769
Divide by: Useful life (7 yrs) 7
Annual depreciation, ROU asset P889,110

a. Since the underlying asset is usable beyond the end of the four-year lease term,
it shall be depreciated over its own useful life.
b. Relevant residual value at the end of the useful life is deducted in arriving at the
depreciable amount since the lessee is entitled to receive this amount.

The following is the amortization table for the lease liability (similar to Scenario 1):

CONSIDERATION OF EXTENSION AND TERMINATION OPTION


In the previous illustrations, the lease contracts have non-cancellable lease terms.
However, in reality, some lease contracts contain provisions giving the lessee the
option to extend the lease term and/or pre-terminate the lease term.
In these cases, the total lease term is determined as the non-cancellable lease term,
together with both
a. periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably
certain to exercise that option; and

b. periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably


certain not to exercise that option. [PFRS 16,4].
In assessing whether or not to exercise the given option, the lessee may use similar
factors mentioned in the discussions about purchase option. The initial and
subsequent measurement of ROU asset and lease liability shall follow the lessee’s
assumption about exercising the extension or termination options or not.

Illustration 6 - Extension Option. BALLESTEROS Company entered into a lease


contract with a non-cancellable period of 4 years. In addition, the Company also has
the option to extend the lease term for an additional 3 years. Annual lease payments
of P750,000 are due at the beginning of each year. Incremental borrowing rate is
9%, Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the
initial amounts of ROU asset and lease liability:
1. Extension option is reasonably expected to be exercised.
2. Extension option is not reasonably expected to be exercised.
Scenario 1 - Extension option is reasonably expected to be exercised
Since the extension option will be exercised, the total lease term to be considered is
7 years (4 years plus 3-year extension period). The initial measurement of ROU asset
and lease liability is determined as follows:
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Annuity due for 7 periods at 9% 5.485919 P750,000 P4,114,439
Less: Residual value
Depreciable amount of ROU asset P4,114,439
Divide by: Expected lease term (7 yrs) 7
Annual depreciation, ROU asset P587,777

The lease liability of P4,114,439 shall be amortized for the next 7 years.

Scenario 2 - Extension option is NOT reasonably expected to be exercised


Total lease term to be considered is 4 years only. The initial measurements of ROU
asset and lease liability are determined as follows:
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Annuity due for 4 periods at 9% 3.531295 P750,000 P2,648,471
Less: Residual value

Divide by: Expected lease term (4 yrs) +
Annual depreciation, ROU asset P662,118

The lease liability of P2,648,471 shall be amortized for the next 4 years.

Illustration 7 - Termination Option. ANDALUCIA Company entered into a six-


year lease agreement. The lease requires annual lease payments of P600,000 to be
made every January 1 of each year, starting in 2023. In addition, the Company also
has the option whether to terminate the lease on December 31, 2026 (i.e., at the end
of the 4% year), but it is required to pay a P400,000 termination penalty.
Incremental borrowing rate is 8%. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the initial measurement of the ROU asset and the
lease liability:
1. The Company expects not to exercise the termination option.
2. The Company expects to exercise the termination option.
Scenario 1 - Termination option will not be exercised
In this illustration, the noncancellable portion of the lease term is four years and the
period subject to termination period is two years. For this scenario, since the
termination option will not be exercised, the lease is set to run for six years (4 years
+ 2 years covered by the termination option), which then be used in determining
the initial measurement of ROU asset and lease liability:
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PVFactor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Annuity due for 6 periods at 8% 4.992710 P600,000 P2,995,626
Less: Residual value =
Depreciable amount of the ROU asset P2,995,626
Divide by: Expectedleaseterm(6yrs)
Annual depreciation, ROU asset P499,271

The lease liability of P2,995,626 shall be amortized for the next 6 years.
Scenario 2 - Termination option will not be exercised
The initial measurement of ROU asset and lease liability shall be determined as:
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PVFactor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Annuity due for 4 periods at 8% 3.577097 P600,000 P2,146,258
Single payment for 4 periods at 8% 0.735030 400,000 294,012
Depreciable amount of ROU asset P2,440,270
Divide by: Expected lease term (4 yrs) 4
Annual depreciation, ROU asset P610,068

The lease liability of P2,440,270 shall be amortized for the next 4 years.
Scenarios 1 and 2 - Generalization
The readers should take of the following:
a. The number of periods used in the computation is based on the expectations of
exercising the termination option.
b. No termination penalty shall be included in the computations if the lease term
reflects the entity's expectation of not exercising the termination option.
242

c. The amount of termination penalty shall be included only when the lease term
reflects the entity’s expectation of exercising the termination option.
EXCEPTIONS TO THE GENERAL LESSEE ACCOUNTING MODEL
Earlier, it was mentioned that there are leases exempt from the requirement of
recognizing lease liability and ROU asset. These leases arise from the following:
a. Short-term lease
b. Lease of low-value assets
Instead, the lease payments are recognized as rent expense on a straight-line
basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis applies.
If the amount of lease payments increases periodically, there will be initial
amounts of accrued rent payable which will be fully reversed by the end of the
lease term. On the other hand, if the amount of lease payments decreases
periodically, there will be initial amounts of prepaid rent (i.e., an asset) which will
also be fully reversed by the end of the lease term.

SHORT-TERM LEASES
Leases with lease term of 12 months or less are considered as short-term leases,
provided there is no related purchase option. The exception can be applied on a
- per class of underlying asset basis. Class is similar to the classes mentioned in
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Illustration 8. On July 1, 2023, TOMAS Company entered into twelve-month lease


ofa commercial space. The following is the schedule of semi-annual lease payments:
Date of payment Lease payment
December 31, 2023 P500,000
June 30, 2024 700,000

In this case, the amount of rent expense to be recognize per month is computed as:
Date of payment Lease payment
December 31, 2023 P500,000
June 30, 2024 700,000
Total lease payments over the lease term P1,200,000
Divide by: Lease term (in months) 12
Monthly rent expense P100,000

Journal entry to record the payment and the recognition of rent expense on
December 31, 2023 is as follows:
Rent expense (P100,000 x 6 mo.) 600,000
Cash 500,000
Accrued rent payable 100,000

243

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cs CamScanner
Chapter 9 —- Lessee Accounting — Basic Considerations

It should be noted that since lease payments are increasing, there will be an initial
amount of accrued rent payable. In addition, the amount of rental expense is not
necessarily equal to the amount of rentals paid.
Journal entry to record the payment and the recognition of rent expense on June 30,
2024 is as follows:
Rent expense (P100,000 x 6 mo.) 600,000
Accrued rent payable 100,000
Cash 700,000
It should be noted that the balance of accrued rent payable or prepaid rent will be
reversed by the end of the lease term.

LEASE OF LOW-VALUE ASSETS


The assessment of whether an underlying asset is low-value or not shall be based
on its value when it is brand new (i.e., not necessarily equal to its current value).
PFRS 16 does not mention the use of quantitative thresholds, but according to the
related Basis for Conclusions, the standard-setting body ‘has in mind’ that low value
assets are those with value of USD5,000 or less (roughly PHP250,000 or less).
Further, to be qualified as a lease of low-value asset, the underlying asset shall not
be subleased. Sublease is to be discussed on Chapter 11.
For example, a lease of a second-hand vehicle with current value of P200,000 but
with brand new value of P1,000,000 will not be considered as a lease of low-value
asset. The reason is that its P1,000,000 value when brand new shall be considered,
not its current value of P200,000.

In addition, the assessment is not affected by the size, nature, or circumstances


of the lessee (i.e., the assessment shall be in absolute basis). Accordingly, different
lessees are expected to reach the same conclusions about whether a particular
underlying asset is of Jow value. Lastly, the application of this exemption can be
made on a lease-by-lease basis.
Examples of low-value assets include, but are not limited to, laptops, tables, phones,
small vehicles (e.g., tricycles), and small items of furniture and equipment.

Illustration 9. Due to work-from-home setup given as an option to its employees,


MATIAS Company rented 100 laptops for the next three years, starting January 1,
2023. Annual lease payments are due to be paid on the following dates:

December 31,2023 —P1,400,000


December 31, 2024 1,000,000
December 31, 2025 810,000

244

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders

Chapter 9 - Lessee Accounting - Basic Considerations

In this case, the annual rent expense is computed as P1,070,000 (P3,210,000/3).


Journal entry to record the lease payment and rent expense on December 31, 2023;
Rent expense 1,070,000
Prepaid rent 330,000
Cash 1,400,000

It should be noted that since the amount of lease payments are decreasing each
year, there will be an initial amount of prepaid rent.
Journal entry to record the lease payment and rent expense on December 31, 2024:
Rent expense 1,070,000
Cash 1,000,000
Prepaid rent 70,000

After making the above entry, the balance of prepaid rent will be P260,000
(P330,000 - P70,000) as of December 31, 2024.
Journal entry to record the lease payment and rent expense on December 31, 2025:
Rent expense 1,070,000
Cash 810,000
Prepaid rent 260,000

As of December 31, 2025, the end of the lease term, the balance for the prepaid rent
will be zero.

ANNEX 1 - LEASE CONTRACTS IN PRACTICE


So far, the illustrations showed the amounts of lease payments that are equal each
year and that the lease payments are made annually. However, in practice, the
amounts of lease payments usually increase periodically (due to rental escalations)
and that they are usually payable more frequently (e.g., quarterly, monthly).
As such, the following accounting procedures shall be made:
a. Inthe case of increasing periodic lease payments, these shall be discounted using
a series of PV factors of single payments (i.e., similar to the computation of
present value of cash flows from serial bonds and serial notes).
b. For more frequent lease payments, the PV factor shall be determined in the same
manner as in the bonds payable with interest that is payable quarterly or semi-
annually, to wit:
Lease Payment Frequency
Semi-annually Quarterly
Number of periods Years x2 Years x 4
Periodic discount rate Discount rate + 2 Discount rate + 4
Periodic lease payment Annual Amount + 2 Annual Amount + 4

Company entered into a five-year lease contract covering a land. Annual lease
payments are due every January 1 of each year, starting on January 1, 2023. Lease
payment due for 2023 is P1,000,000 and shall be increased by 10% every year
starting with January 1, 2025 lease payment. Incremental borrowing rate of the
Company is 6%. Initial direct costs incurred by the Company amounted to P450,000
Required: Determine the initial measurement of ROU asset and lease liability.
From the given information, the following procedures shall be performed:
a. First, determine the lease payments that shall be made each year and the
corresponding timing of payments:
Lease Datetobe No.of Periods
Year Payments Received from 1/1/23
2023 1,000,000 01/01/23 0 period
2024 1,000,000 01/01/24 1 period

2026 1,210,000 [1.1Mx(1+10%)] 01/01/26 3 periods
2027 1,331,000 [1.21Mx(1+10%)] 01/01/27 4 periods
b. Next, determine the present value of lease payments to determine the amount
of lease liability:

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Alease isa contract, or a part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the
underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
2. Lessor is the entity who leases out an underlying asset and receives consideration.
Lessee is the entity who uses the underlying asset and exchanges consideration.
3. The general lessee accounting model requires the recognition of right-of-use (ROU)
asset and lease liability on commencement date. This date is the date on which a
lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee.
4. ROU asset represents the control and the right of the lessee to use the asset during
the lease term, not the legal ownership of the underlying asset. It shall be initially
measured at cost, which is composed of the following:’
a. initial measurement of lease liability;
b. any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease
incentives received;
c. any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
d. asset retirement obligation
9. Lease liability represents the present value of lease payments to be made during the
lease term. Amounts to be included in the present value are the following:
a. fixed payments, less any lease incentives to be received;
b. variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured
using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
c. amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
d. exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise
that option; and

e. payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the
lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
6. The discount rate to be used shall be determined by the following hierarchy:
a. First, the implicit rate on the lease, if known by the lessee.
b. Otherwise, the lessee shall use its own incremental borrowing rate.
7. Ifthe fixed lease payments are paid at the end of each period, PV of ordinary annuity
shall be used while PV of annuity due shall be used if these are paid at the beginning
of each period.
§. As to guaranteed residual value, the amount to be included in the lease liability shall
be the expected shortfall and not necessarily the amount of the guarantee.
9. Expected shortfall is the difference between the higher guaranteed residual value
less the lower expected value of the asset at the end of the leased term.
10.Purchase option price shall be included in the lease liability only if the-entity is
reasonably certain to exercise the option.
11.Subsequent to the initial recognition, the carrying amount of the lease liability shall
be measured using an amortization table. Interest expense is also based on the
amortization table.
12.Subsequent to initial recognition, depending on the circumstances, ROU asset may
be accounted using either the cost model (default), revaluation model or the fair
value model.
13.Under the cost model, depending on the terms and conditions of the lease, the ROU
asset shall be accounted as follows: .

Ref Scenario | Depreciation period | Depreciable amount


A Basic lease contract Shorter of: Initial measurement of
4 With residual value a. lease term; or ROU asset (i.e., no

14.No ROU asset nor lease liability are required to be recognized for the following leases
(i.e., exception to the general lessee accounting):
a. Short-term leases (lease term of not more than 12 months)
b. Leases of low-value assets (roughly PHP250,000 or less)
In these cases, the lease payments are recognized as rent expense ona straight-line
basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis applies.

True or False
1. Lessor is the entity who is using the property and paying rental payments to the
lessee.
2. Under the general lessee accounting requirements, an entity shall recognize ROU
asset and lease liability on commencement date.
ROU asset represents the lessee’s right to use the underlying asset but not the
ownership over the underlying asset.
Lease liability represents the lessor’s right to receive the lease payments from the
lessee.
The cost of the ROU asset shall exclude the amount paid for lease transaction costs.
nu

Variable lease payments based on revenue or output shall be excluded from the
measurement of lease liability.
Periodic payments for the utilities billed by the lessor shall be included in the
measurement of lease liability.
Security deposits are included in the cost of ROU asset.
© %

If the lessee knows the implicit rate, it shall be used in determining the present
value of lease liability; otherwise, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate shall be
used.
10. The amount to be included in the lease liability is the present value of the expected
shortfall to be paid, which exists only if the residual value guarantee is higher than
the expected value of the underlying asset at the end of the lease term.
ad. The present value of the purchase option price shall be included in the lease liability
only if the purchase option price is much lower than the expected value of the
underlying asset at the end of the lease term.
12. ROU asset is subsequently measured using cost model by default.
13. Generally, lease liability is subsequently measured using the amounts in the related
amortization table.
14. Short-term leases are those with lease terms of at least 12 months.
15. The value of the underlying asset in assessing whether it is low-value shall be based
on when it is brand new, regardless of the underlying asset's current condition.

REASSESSMENT VS MODIFICATION
In the previous chapter, there were no changes made when subsequently
accounting for ROU asset and lease liability, aside from those arising from
depreciation, accretion of interest, and lease payments. However, in real life, it is
possible that during the lease term, changes in the measurement of lease liability
and ROU asset may happen as arising from the reassessment of lease liability or
from lease modification.
These two terms may appear to be the same but for lessee accounting, they are
different. Before getting into the details, it is the best to know, in a general sense,
their major differences:
Reassessment Lease Modification
Change/s in the assumptions
Change/s in the lease
General description or estimates that were
agreement itself
initially made
Involvement of the Novinvolved Involved (i.e., need to agree
lessor to the modification/s)
Scenarios covered Four specific scenarios Wide variety of scenarios
Discount rate used in Can be the original or e gts
c : : Always a revised discount
computing the PV of revised, depending on the y nes
rate
revised cash flows reason for the reassessment

The major accounting difference arises from the discount rate to be used in
determining the present value of revised cash flows. Nevertheless, both of these
changes will affect the lease liability and the ROU asset.

REASSESSMENT OF LEASE LIABILITY


In the previous chapter, there were assumptions and estimates made when initially
measuring the lease liability (and consequently the ROU asset). These include the
following:
a. Assumptions pertaining to the lease term because of the existence of the option
to extend and/or terminate the lease term.
261

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cs CamScanner
Chapter 9A — Lessee Accounting — Other Matters

b. Assumptions about the exercise of purchase option.


c. Estimate of the expected value of the underlying asset to compute the expected
shortfall under residual value guarantee.
d. Variable payments based on index or rate.

These assumptions and estimates are susceptible to changes, especially if the


circumstances on which they are based also change.

ACCOUNTING FOR REASSESSMENT OF LEASE LIABILITY


The following are the accounting procedures to be followed:
a. Determine the revised amount, number, and/or timing of lease payments based
on the reassessment.
b. Determine whether the circumstance triggering the reassessment of the lease
liability requires the use of an original or revised discount rate. The following
guidelines are relevant:

Ref | Circumstance Discount Rate


A Changes in the estimated Jease term Revised discount rate
B Changes in the decision whether or not to determined on
exercise purchase option reassessment date
Changes in wee :
C g 5 the expected shortfall from Original discount rate
residual value guarantee
; ; : used on commencement
D Changes in the index or rate for variable dite
lease payments based on index or rate

The reason for the use of a revised discount rate based on circumstances A and
B above is that the economics of the lease have drastically changed compared
to circumstances C and D.
. Determine the revised carrying amount of the lease liability at the time of the
reassessment by getting the present value of lease payments in (a) using the
discount rate determined in (b).
. Compare the revised carrying amount of the /ease liability computed in (c) with
its carrying amount before reassessment. Any change will also have a
corresponding direct and same effect to the ROU asset. The following guidelines
are relevant:

Result of comparison of lease liability Consequence


Revised carrying amount > carrying Increase in lease liability and
amount before reassessment ROU asset by the same amount
Revised carrying amount < carrying Decrease in lease liability and
amount before reassessment ROU asset by the same amount
Further, if the amount of decrease in the lease liability > carrying amount of
ROU asset, the difference is recorded as gain in the lessee’s profit or loss.

e. Because of the changes, the annual depreciation of the ROU asset and the
amortization table of lease liability will be revised moving forward.

REASSESSMENT OF LEASE TERM


Generally, the lease term may increase or decrease from the changes in the
assumption regarding extension or termination options. Increase in lease term
normally results to increase in lease liability while decrease in lease term
decreases the lease liability. These scenarios will be discussed in the foregoing
illustrations:

Illustration - Increase in Lease Term. On January 1, 2023, CLEMENTE Company


entered into a five-year lease contract covering an office space. Annual lease
payments of P900,000 are due every January 1 of each year. The lease contract gives
the Company the option to extend the lease term for an additional 3 years.
Incremental borrowing rate is 7%. As of the commencement date, the Company
assessed that it is not reasonably certain that it will exercise the extension option.
However, on January 1, 2024, after the lease payment for that year, the Company
reassessed that it will now exercise the extension option. Incremental borrowing
rate as of this date is 9%.

As of the commencement date, the initial measurements of lease liability and ROU
asset plus the annual depreciation of ROU asset are computed as follows (i.e.,
excluding the three-year extension period):
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PVFactor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Annuity due for 5 periods at 7% 4.387211 P900,000 P3,948,490

As of January 1, 2024, the reassessment date, the ROU asset has carrying amount of
P3,158,792 (P3,948,490 less P789,698 one-year depreciation for 2023).
Amortization of the lease liability up to this same date is computed as follows:

In accounting for the reassessment on January 1, 2024, the following procedures


are relevant:
a. There are now six annual lease payments of P900,000 (three remaining
payments from the original lease term plus the three-year extension period) to
be paid starting January 1, 2025. The end of the revised lease term is on
December 31, 2030.
b. Discount rate to be used is the incremental borrowing rate of 9% as of the
reassessment date (i.e., revised) since the trigger is the change in lease term.

Illustration 2 - Decrease in Lease Term. On January 1, 2023, JACINTO Company


entered into a four-year lease contract involving a vehicle, where annual payments
of P600,000 are due every January 1 starting on that date. In addition, the Company
has the option to extend the lease term for an additional three years, which was
reasonably expected to be exercised. Incremental borrowing rate is 8%. However, on
January 1, 2025, the Company reassessed that it will not exercise the extension
option since it decided to look instead for a more updated version of the vehicle at
the end of the lease term. Incremental borrowing rate as of this date is 6%.

As of the commencement date, the initial measurements of lease liability and ROU
asset plus the annual depreciation of ROU asset are computed as follows (based on
total lease term of seven years or four years plus three-year extension period):

Illustration 5, ANDRADE Company entered into a four-year lease contract covering


a vehicle. Annual lease payments of P1,200,000 are due at the beginning of each
year starting on January 1, 2023. In addition, residual value guarantee of
P 1,000,000 was made, even though the expected value of the vehicle at the end of
the lease term is P700,000. Incremental borrowing rate at this date is 9%.
On January 1, 2024, the expected value was reassessed due to drastic changes in the
economy. Incremental borrowing rate as of that date was 11%. Required: Under
each of the following independent scenarios, determine the procedures to account
for the reassessment:
1. Expected value increased to P1,100,000.
2. Expected value decreased to P200,000.

Before anything else, it is necessary to compute for the unadjusted carrying


amounts of the lease liability and ROU asset as of January 1, 2024. Initial
measurements of lease liability, ROU asset, and annual depreciation of ROU asset
are computed as (using expected shortfall of P300,000 or P1,000,000 - P700,000):
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Single payment for 4 periods at 9% 0.708425 P300,000 P212,528

As of January 1, 2024, the reassessment date, the ROU asset has carrying amount of
P3,337,561 (P4,450,082 less P1,112,521 one-year depreciation for 2023).
Amortization of the lease liability up to this same date is computed as follows:

Scenario 1 - Expected value increased to P1,100,000


In accounting for the reassessment on January 1, 2024, the following procedures
are relevant:
a. There are still two lease payments left to be made starting January 1, 2025.
However, there will be no expected shortfall to be included since the expected
value of P1,100,000 is now higher than the P1,000,000 residual value guarantee.
b. Discount rate to be used is still the incremental borrowing rate of 9% as of the
commencement date (i.e., original) since the trigger is the change in the estimate
of expected shortfall.

REASSESSMENT OF VARIABLE LEASE PAYMENTS BASED ON RATE OR INDEX


On the commencement date, the variable lease payments based on rate or index
that are included in the computation of lease liability are still unadjusted by the
changes in the rate or index. At the time of adjustment, the amount of lease payments
will change as well as the present value of lease liability. Using indices, the following
formula will be used to compute for the revised lease payments:
Revised Lease _ Unrevised Lease Index as of revision date
Payments > Payments x Index as of commencement date
or as of immediately preceding
revision date

The changes in lease payments have the following profound effects in the lease
liability and ROU asset:

Scenario Effect on lease liability Effect on ROU asset


Increase in lease payments Increase Increase
Decrease in lease payments Decrease Decrease

Illustration 6. On January 1, 2023, MAGALLANES Company entered into a six-year


lease contract covering an office space. Annual lease payments of P2,100,000 are
due at the beginning of each year. These lease payments will be adjusted starting
January 1, 2026 using the change in consumer price index (CPI) from January 1,
2023 to January 1, 2025. Incremental borrowing rate as of this date was 6%. CPIs
as of January 1, 2023 and 2025 were 120 and 150, respectively. Incremental
borrowing rate as of January 1, 2025 was 8%.
As of the commencement date, the computation of lease liability and ROU asset will
be based on the P2,100,000 unadjusted lease payments:

LEASE MODIFICATIONS
Lease modification arises when the lessor and lessee agreed to amendments in the
original lease contract. These amendments cover a wider spectrum of changes
compared to simple reassessment of lease liability. For accounting purposes, lease
modifications can be categorized into the following major categories:
a. Increase in scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying
assets.
b. Decrease in the scope of the lease.
c. All other lease modifications.

It should be also recalled that in discounting the revised lease payments arising
from lease modifications, a revised discount rate shall always be used.

INCREASE IN THE SCOPE OF THE LEASE


A lease modification shall be accounted for as a separate lease if both of the
following conditions were met:
a. the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use
one or more underlying assets; AND
b. the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with
the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate
adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the
particular contract.

In assessing the criterion (b) the rate of lease payment on the original lease shall be
presumed as equivalent to stand-alone price.

Accounting for as a separate lease means that the original lease will not be
affected (i.e., depreciation of original ROU asset and amortization of the original
lease liability will not be affected),
If any one or both of the conditions mentioned were not met, the lease modification
shall be accounted for similar to reassessment of lease liability (i.e. the original
lease will be affected). In this case, the combined lease payments from the
original lease and from the modification shall be discounted using a revised
discount rate.

Illustration 7. On January 1, 2023, ROLDAN Company entered into a five-year lease


of 4,000 square meters of office space for annual lease payment of P800,000 (or
P200 per square meter), due immediately. Incremental borrowing rate as of this
date is 5%. On January 1, 2024, after paying the lease due for the year, the Company
and the lessor modified the lease contract by including an additional 3,000 square
meters of office space over the remaining four-year lease term, with the additional
lease payment due immediately. Incremental borrowing rate is 7% as of this date.
Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the
accounting procedures for the lease modification:
1. The annual lease payment for additional 3,000 square meters was set at
P600,000.
2. The annual lease payment for additional 3,000 square meters was set at
P360,000.
Before anything else, the following is the computation of the initial measurement of
lease liability and ROU asset:

P2,909,409 (P3,636,761 less P727,352 one-year depreciation for 2023).
Amortization of the lease liability over the lease term is computed as follows:

Scenario 1 - Annual lease payments for increase in scope is P600,000


Under this scenario, the modification shall be accounted for as a separate lease
since the additional P600,000 annual lease payment commensurate with the
stand-alone selling price of the office space (ie, P200 per square meter or
P600,000/3,000 square meters, which is also equal to the lease amount of P200
per square meter computed in the original lease of 4,000 square meters).

It should be highlighted in the above table that the original lease of 4,000 square
meters will be co-existing with the lease of 3,000 square meters.
Scenario 2 - Annual lease payments for increase in scope is P360,000
Under this scenario, the modification shall not be accounted for as a separate
lease since the additional P360,000 annual lease payment does not
commensurate with the stand-alone selling price of the office space (i.e., P120
per square meter or P360,000/3,000 square meters, which is less than the lease
amount of P200 per square meter computed in the original lease of 4,000 square
meters).

In this case, the following accounting procedures will be made:


a. The increase of P360,000 will be combined with P600,000 original annual lease
payment. In computing for the revised amount of lease liability, the P360,000
shall be discounted for four periods using annuity due (four remaining lease
payments, with the first one due immediately). For the original P800,000
lease payment, it is discounted using ordinary annuity for three periods
because the remaining lease payments based on original terms are to be
received starting only on January 1, 2025.
b. Discount rate to be used is the incremental borrowing rate of 7% as of the
modification date (i.e., revised) since the trigger is a lease modification.
c. The revised amount of lease liability after modification is computed and
compared with the related carrying amount as of January 1, 2024 as follows:

DECREASE IN THE SCOPE OF THE LEASE


A decrease in the scope of the lease normally arises from decrease in right to use
one or more of the underlying assets. The accounting for this lease modification is
a little complicated compared to the other categories:
a. Determine the updated carrying amount of the lease liability and ROU asset as
of the date of lease modification.
b. Proportionately reduce the updated carrying amounts of the lease liability and
ROU asset with their difference recognized in profit or loss:
Proportional _ Carrying i Decrease in Scope
Reduction Amount Total Scope Before Modification

c. Determine the amount of revised lease liability for the remaining lease payments
by discounting the remaining cash flows using the revised discount rate.
d. The balance of lease liability after effecting the proportional reduction on (b)
above is adjusted to reflect the revised lease liability amount determined in (c).
This further adjustment has a corresponding effect to ROU asset as follows:

Result of comparison for lease liability | | Accounting consequence


Revised carrying amount > Increase in lease liability and
proportionately reduced carrying amount | ROU asset by the same amount
Revised carrying amount < Decrease in lease liability and
proportionately reduced carrying amount | ROU asset by the same amount

Illustration 8. On January 1, 2023, ASIS Company entered into a six-year lease


contract covering 5,000 square meters of office space. Annual lease payments of
P900,000 are due at the end of each year starting on December 31, 2023. Relevant
incremental borrowing rate is 8%.
On January 1, 2024, due to the introduction of work-from-home setup for the
Company’s employees, the scope of the lease was reduced by 2,000 square meters.
Revised annual lease payment for the remaining 3,000 square meters was set at
P500,000 for the five-year remaining lease term, payable starting on December 31,
2024. Incremental borrowing date as of date is 9%.

Accounting for Decrease in Scope


a. ROU asset had a balance of P3,467,160 (P4,160,592 - P693,432) as of January 1,
2024. As of the same date, the balance of lease liability is computed as follows:

Accounting for these modifications, such as changes in the amounts of lease
payments, will utilize the same previously discussed concepts on the reassessment
of lease liability, except for the discount rate. The discount rate to be used in
discounting the revised cash flows from all lease modifications shall always be a
revised rate.

PRESENTATION OF R.0.U. ASSET AND LEASE LIABILITY


Generally, ROU asset is presented separately from other assets in the statement of
financial position. Otherwise, the lessee shall:
a. include right-of-use assets within the same line item as that within which the
corresponding underlying assets would be presented if they were owned; and
b. disclose which line items in the statement of financial position include those
right-of-use assets.
For example, if an underlying asset in a lease contract is an office building, the
related carrying amount of the ROU asset shall be included in the Property, Plant
and Equipment line item. Ifan underlying asset in a lease contract involves the lease
of a trademark, the carrying amount of the ROU asset shall be included in the
Intangibles line item.

As discussed in the previous chapter, if the annual lease payments are made at the
beginning of each year, the carrying amounts in the amortization table above do
not correspond to December 31 carrying amounts. As a result, accretion of interest
shall be recorded to get the true carrying amounts as of December 31, 2023 and

liability within financing activities;
b. cash payments for the interest portion of the lease liability generally within
operating activities; and
c. short-term lease payments, payments for leases of low-value assets and variable
lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability within
operating activities.

A lessee shall disclose the following amounts for the reporting period:
a. depreciation charge for right-of-use assets by class of underlying asset;
b. interest expense on lease liabilities;
c. the expense relating to short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. This
expense need not include the expense relating to leases with a lease term of one

and other liabilities, respectively.
5. Generally, ROU asset is classified as noncurrent while lease liability is partly current
and partly noncurrent.
6. The current and noncurrent portions of lease liability are determined as follows:

CHAPTER 9A: SELF-TEST EXERCISES


True or False
As Reassessment of lease liability involves the changes in the initial assumptions or
estimates made.
2. Lease modification involves changes in the lease agreement itself.
3 The discount rate to be used for the reassessment of lease liability is always a
revised discount rate determined on the date of reassessment.
When there is a lease modification, the discount rate to be used in the determining
the revised lease payments may be the original or the revised one, depending on
the type of modification.
If, as a result of lease modification or reassessment, there is an increase in lease
liability, then the carrying amount of the related ROU asset shall also increase.
Any excess of the amount of decrease in lease liability over the carrying amount of
the related ROU asset shall be recognized in other comprehensive income.
If the change in lease liability arises from the change in the expected shortfall from
guaranteed residual value, then the discount rate to be used in determining the
revised lease liability shall be the original discount rate.
If the lessee and lessor agreed to increase the amounts of lease payments, the
discount rate to be used shall be the original discount rate.
The current portion of a lease liability, where the annual lease payments are paid
at the start of each period, is equal to the amount of annual lease payments.
10. The principal or the amortization portion of the lease payment shall be reported
within the operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

Straight Problems
1. Yn January 1, 2023, LION Company entered into a five-year lease contract involving
aa office space. Annual lease payments of P1,400,000 are payable every January 1,
starting in 2023, Under the lease contract, the Company may extend the lease term
for additional four years while paying the same amount of annual lease payments
during the extended term.

It has been estimated that the Company will not extend the lease term after the
expiration of the initial lease term as it plans to construct its own office building.
Relevant incremental borrowing rate was 9% as of January 1, 2023.

Immediately after paying the rent on January 1, 2025, the Company decided to
extend the lease term as there is a current economic downturn which adversely
affected its operations. Relevant incremental borrowing rate as of this date was
10%.
Required: From the given information, determine the following:
a. Journal entry to record the reassessment on January 1, 2025.
b. Carrying amount of the lease liability and ROU asset as of December 31, 2025.

2. CHEETAH Company entered into a six-year lease contract involving a production


equipment on January 1, 2023. Annual lease payments of P1,200,000 are payable
every January 1, starting in 2023. Under the lease contract, the Company may extend
the lease term for additional four years while paying the same amount of annual
lease payments during the extended term. It has been estimated that the Company
will extend the lease after the expiration of the initial lease term. Relevant
incremental borrowing rate was 8% as of January 1, 2023.
Fast forward to January 1, 2026, after making the lease payment for that year, the
leased production equipment became incompatible and less efficient when the
Company reorganized its production line. As a result, the Company decided that it
will not exercise the extension option. Relevant incremental borrowing rate as of
this date is 9%.
Required: From the given information, determine the following:
a. Journal entry to record the reassessment on January 1, 2026.
b. Carrying amount of the lease liability and ROU asset as of December 31, 2026.

3. On January 1, 2023, ELEPHANT Company leased from a lessor a warehouse for seven
years. Annual payments of P1,000,000 are payable every January 1 of each year
starting in 2023. The Company has an option to purchase the warehouse at
P2,000,000 at the end of the lease term. The Company does not expect to exercise
this purchase option because it reasonably projects that after the lease term, its
business activities will increase, prompting it to use a larger warehouse. As of the
commencement date, the warehouse has a remaining useful life of 12 years and

residual value of P1,200,000 at the end ofits useful life. Relevant discount rate as of
January 1, 2023 is 6%.

On January 1, 2026, the Company assessed that the demand for its product has not
picked up yet for it to expand the size of its warehouse. As a result, the Company
expects that itis very likely that it will now exercise the purchase option. There were
no changes in the estimated remaining useful life and residual value of the
warehouse. Relevant discount rate as of this date is 7%.

Required: From the given information, determine the following:

CHAPTER 10
LESSOR ACCOUNTING - FINANCE LEASE
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The classifications of leases in the perspective of the lessor.
2. The bases in classifying the lease as financing or operating.
3. The different classifications of finance lease.
4. The computation of accrued interest payable.

LESSORS
In the previous two chapters, the story of a lease was told in the perspective of the
lessee. In this chapter, concepts are discussed in the perspective of the lessor. As
previously mentioned, a lessor is an entity that provides the right to use an
underlying asset to a lessee for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Lessors can be classified into the following general categories:
a. Property developers - lease out buildings as office spaces, mall spaces, and
rent-to-own condominiums. At an entity level, the largest property developers
in the country are the Ayala Land, Megaworld Corporation, SM Prime Holdings,
and Filinvest Land.
b. Banks - banks in the country usually structure their leasing business in. leasing
and financing subsidiaries. Banks’ leasing business mainly focus on the financing
aspect, meaning they will buy the asset to be leased out with the hopes of earning
interest income from the lease payments.
c. Captive leasing companies - these are the subsidiaries whose primary
operations involve catering the leasing and financing operations of their parent
company. The primary purpose of this arrangement is to facilitate the sale of the
products of the parent company through credit or installment basis since this
will result to higher revenues for the parent company.
d. Independents - the final catch-all category of lessors which are not covered by
the previously discussed lessor groups.

ADVANTAGES OF BEING A LESSOR


In leasing out assets, lessors can realize the following benefits:
a. Cash inflows generation from properties. An idle and vacant land, on its own,
cannot generate cash flows. Property developers invest money on the
development of idle lands to office spaces, malls, and condominiums in the hopes
of realizing cash flows in the form of rentals which will exceed the total cost of
development.

Chapter 10 — Lessor Accounting - Finance Lease

b. Generation of rewarding interest margin. The implicit interest charged by the


lessors is normally much higher than the cost of funds used to finance the
transaction, For example, a bank issues bonds payable bearing interest of 5% to
be used in financing its leasing transactions, which the bank normally charges
12% rate of return. Based these facts, the bank earns 7% interest margin (12%
- 5%).
c. Stimulation of sales. Structuring a sale transaction as a lease transaction
increases the number of units sold since individuals and businesses are more
willing and more able to purchase assets in credit or installment basis.
d. Underlying asset’s residual value. Lessors can sell the returned underlying
assets at the end of the lease term.
e. Increased loan security. The underlying asset serves as the security which can
be easily clawed back from the lessee in cases lease payments were not made.

LESSORS’ ACCOUNTING FOR LEASES


The lessor shall classify each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance
lease. So how shall the lessor classify its leases? The following graphical
presentation has the answer:

Does the lessor transfer


substantially all the risks and Classify the lease as
rewards incidental to ownership an operating lease
of an underlying asset?

Classify the lease as a finance lease

Risks include the possibilities of losses from idle capacity or technological


obsolescence and of variations in return because of changing economic conditions.
Rewards may be represented by the expectation of profitable operation over the
underlying asset’s economic life and of gain from appreciation in value or
realization of a residual value.
There is a need for classification as accounting procedures differ between a
finance lease and an operating lease. Finance leases are discussed in this chapter
while operating leases will be discussed in the next chapter. In practice, in the
lessor’s perspective, most of the leases are classified as operating lease.

Chapter 10 —- Lessor Accounting — Finance Lease

Lease classification is made on inception date and reassessed only if there is a lease
modification. Inception date is the earlier of the date of a lease agreement and the
date of commitment by the parties to the principal terms and conditions of the lease.
WHEN ARE RISKS AND REWARDS SUBSTANTIALLY TRANSFERRED?
The classification of a lease as a finance or operating lease depends on the|
substance of the transaction rather the legal form of the contract. Examples of
situations that individually or in combination would normally lead to a lease
being classified as a finance lease are the following:
a. the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the
end of the lease term (e.g,, rent-to-own arrangements); _
b. the lease contains an option for the lessee to purchase the underlying asset
which the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise because the expected fair
value at the time of the option’s exercisability is sufficiently lower than the
purchase option price (i.e., bargain purchase option);
c. the lease term is for a major part of the economic life of the underlying asset
even if title is not transferred (at least 75% of economic life);
d. at the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at
least substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset (at least 90%
of the fair value of the underlying asset); and
e. the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that only the lessee can
use it without major modifications.

(Note: The 75% in (c) and 90% (d) were borrowed from US GAAP so as to have a clear-cut
distinction and to reduce subjectivity involved in the judgement used in the classification
of the lease.)

Other indicators of situations that individually or in combination could also lead to


a lease being classified as a finance lease are:
a. if the lessee can cancel the lease, the lessor’s losses associated with the
cancellation are borne by the lessee;
b. gains or losses from the fluctuation in the fair value of the residual accrue to the
lessee (for example, in the form of a rent rebate equaling most of the sales
proceeds at the end of the lease); and
c. the lessee has the ability to continue the lease for a secondary period at a rent
that is substantially lower than market rent.

Illustration 1 - Transfer of Ownership. LEDESMA Company leased out its


machinery for three years with the ownership transferred to the lessee at the end
of the lease term. This machinery has a useful life of six years.

The lease shall be classified as a finance lease because of the transfer of ownership,
regardless of the fact that the lease term is only 50% of the useful life (i.e, 3 years/6
years).

298

Chapter 10 — Lessor Accounting — Finance Lease

Illustration 2 - Purchase Option. CORTES Company recently acquired a vehicle


which was immediately leased out for four years even though its useful life is ten
years. The lessee has an option to purchase the vehicle at the end of lease term for
a price of P300,000.

If the expected value of the vehicle is P500,000 at the end of the lease term, then
the lease can be classified as a finance lease since the purchase option price is
sufficiently lower (i.e., bargain purchase option). This is regardless of the fact that the
lease term is only 40% (4 years/10 years) of the vehicle's useful life.

If the expected value of the vehicle is P300,000 at the end of the lease term, then
the lease shall be classified as an operating lease since the purchase option price is
not sufficiently lower than this expected value (i.e., not a bargain purchase option).
The lease term that is just 40% of the useful life is not helpful either.

Illustration 3 - Major Portion of Useful Life. During the year, FELICIANO


Company leased out one of its buildings for a specified period of time. This building
has a useful life of 20 years and shall be returned at the end of the lease term.

If the lease term is at least 15 years, then the lease shall be considered as a finance
lease since it is at least 75% (15 years/20 years) of the building’s useful life. This is
still true even if there is no transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term
(application of accounting substance over legal form).

Illustration 4 - PV of Lease Payments is Substantially Equal of the Fair Value


of the Underlying Asset. At the beginning of the current year, SAYSON Company
leased out one of its office buildings for 10 years, even though the building has a
useful life of 18 years. After the lease term, the possession of the building shall be
transferred back to the Company. Annual lease payments of P1,400,000 are due at
the beginning of each year. Relevant discount rate is 7%. Required: Under each of
the following independent scenarios, determine the classification of the lease in the
perspective of the Company as the lessor:
1. The building has a value of P11,600,000.
2. The building has a value of P14,000,000

Scenario 1 - Building value of P11,600,000


The present value of the lease payments is computed as:

PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV


Annuity due for 10 periods at 7% 7.515232 P1,400,000 P10,521,325
Divide by: Value of building 11,600,000
PV of lease payments expressed as % of asset’s value 90.70%

Since the percentage is at least 90% of the asset’s value, the lease is considered
as a finance lease in the perspective of the Company. This is regardless of the fact
299

The

Chapter 10 —- Lessor Accounting — Finance Lease

that there is no transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term and the fact that the
lease term is just 55.56% (10 years/18 years) of the asset's useful life.
Scenario 2 - Building value of P14,000,000
The same present value in Scenario 1 shall be used in the following computation:

75.15%
_ _P10,521,325
~~ P14,000,000
Since the percentage is less than 90% of the asset's value, the lease is considered
as an operating lease in the perspective of the Company. There are no other factors
that will make the lease be classified as a finance lease (i.e., there is no transfer of
ownership and the lease term is just 55.56% of the asset’s useful life).

INITIAL RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT - FINANCE LEASE


Since the risks and rewards were substantially transferred to the lessee, the lessor
shall do the following on commencement date:
a. derecognize the underlying asset; and
b. recognize a lease receivable from the lessee.
The abovementioned lease receivable is technically called the net investment in
the lease, which is the gross investment in the lease discounted at the interest
rate implicit in the lease (or net investment in the lease = gross investment in the
lease less unearned finance income).
Gross investment in the lease is the sum of undiscounted amounts of:
a. the lease payments receivable by a lessor under a finance lease; and
b. any unguaranteed residual value accruing to the lessor.
Details on the components of the gross investment in the lease and the interest rate
implicit in the lease will be discussed shortly.

The difference between the gross investment in the lease and net investment in the
lease is the unearned finance income (contra-asset account with normal credit
balance), which is equal to the total finance income that the lessor will earn
throughout the lease term. On the other hand, pro-forma entry to be made on the
commencement date will depend on the classification of the finance lease,
which will be covered later in the chapter.

For the readers to have an initial grasp on these new concepts about net investment
and gross investment in the lease, a basic illustration will be provided.
Illustration 5. LUNA Company leased out its vehicle for a five-year lease term,
which is equal to its useful life. The first annual lease payment of P1,000,000 is due
immediately. Unguaranteed residual value is estimated to be P600,000. Implicit
interest rate is 9%, Incremental borrowing rates of the lessor and lessee were 6%
and 8%, respectively.

Chapter 10 — Lessor Accounting — Finance Lease

For this illustration, the lease shall be classified as a finance lease since the lease term
is 100% of the useful life of the underlying asset. As a result, the gross investment in
the lease is determined as follows:
Total annual lease payments (P1,000,000 x 5 years) P5,000,000
Add: Unguaranteed residual value 600,000
Gross investment in the lease P5,600,000

Using the implicit rate of 9%, the net investment in the lease is computed as follows:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Single payment for 5 periods at 9% 0.649931 P600,000 P389,959
Annuity due for 5 periods at 9% 4.239720 1,000,000 4,239,720
Net investment in the lease P4,629,679
Less: Gross investment in the lease 5,600,000
Unearned finance income P970,321

The readers should take note of the following:


a. For lessor’s accounting of the lease, implicit rate shall always be used.
Incremental borrowing rates of the lessor and lessee are totally ignored.
b. Unlike in the lessee’s accounting of the lease, unguaranteed residual value is
included in the lessor’s accounting for the net investment in the lease.
COMPONENTS OF LEASE PAYMENTS RECEIVABLE BY THE LESSOR
At the commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the
net investment in the lease comprise the following payments:
a. fixed payments less any lease incentives payable;
b. variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured
using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
c. residual value guarantees provided to the lessor;
d. the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to
exercise that option; and
€. payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the
lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
Security deposit received from lessee is accounted as a separate liability.
By analogy to the lessee’s accounting, the following are excluded from the lessor’s
net investment in the lease:
a. non-lease payments such as receipts related to utilities, service fees, security
fees, maintenance fees and other related services to the lessee (these are to be
accounted for under PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers); and
b. variable lease payments as percentage or portion of the lessee’s revenue,
output or future performance. However, the variable lease payments based
on index and minimum amount of variable lease payments, if there is any,
shall still be included in the net investment in the lease.
301

Chapter 10 - Lessor Accounting - Finance Lease

These exclusions from net investment in the lease are recognized as income when
earned.
These aforementioned inclusions and exclusions in net investment in the lease are,
by analogy, generally similar to the perspective of the lessee, except for the residual
value guarantees, which will be discussed next.

GUARANTEED AND UNGUARANTEED RESIDUAL VALUE


Residual value is the amount that the lessor may receive on account of the
underlying asset at the end of the lease term. This is comprised of the following
portions:
Total Residual Value = Guaranteed Portion + Unguaranteed Portion
For a portion of residual value to be considered as guaranteed in the lessor’s
perspective, any of the following entities shall be making the guarantee over that
portion:
a. lessee;
b. a party related to the lessee; or
c. any third party not related to the lessor that is financially capable of discharging
the obligations under the guarantee.
The portion of residual value is considered as unguaranteed:
a. if that portion’s realization in cash is not assured; or
b. ifthe guarantee was made solely by a party related to the /essor
Lessor’s accounting for these portions of residual value is as follows (with
comparison to lessee’s accounting):
-— Lessor’s Accounting _ Lessee’s Accounting
Guaranteed PV of this portion is included in | PV of expected shortfall is
portion the net investment in the lease | included in the lease liability
Unguaranteed | PVofthis portionisincludedin | Excluded from the lease
portion the net investment in the lease liability
Based on the table above, the present value of residual value, whether guaranteed
or unguaranteed, is included in the /essor’s net investment in the lease.

Needless to say, if the ownership over the underlying asset will be transferred
to the lessee at the end of the lease term, no residual value shall be included in
the lessor’s gross and net investment in the lease, be it guaranteed or
unguaranteed. The reason is that, in this case, the lessor is not entitled to the value
of the underlying asset.

Illustration 6. PEPITO Company leased out its equipment for four years under a
finance lease. Annual lease payments of P700,000 are due at the beginning of each

year starting on the current year. Total residual value of the equipment at the end
of the lease term is estimated to be P500,000, P300,000 of which is guaranteed by
the lessee. Implicit interest rate is 6%. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the amounts of gross investment in the lease, net
investment in the lease, and unearned finance income:
1. The equipment will revert back to the Company at the end of lease term
2. The ownership will be transferred to the lessee at the end of lease term.

Scenario 1 - Equipment to revert back to the Company


The gross investment in the lease is determined as follows:
Total annual lease payments (P700,000 x 4 years) P2,800,000
Add: Guaranteed residual value 300,000
Unguaranteed residual value (P500,000 - P300,000) 200,000
Gross investment in the lease P3,300,000

Using the implicit rate of 6%, the net investment in the lease is computed as follows:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Single payment for 4 periods at 6% 0.792094 P300,000 P237,628
Single payment for 4 periods at 6% 0.792094 200,000 158,419
Annuity due for 4 periods at 6% 3.673012 700,000 2,571,108
Net investment in the lease P2,967,155
Less: Gross investment in the lease 3,300,000
Unearned finance income P332,845

The readers should take note that both the P300,000 guaranteed residual value and
P200,000 unguaranteed residual value shall be included both in the gross investment
‘and net investment (at present values) since the Company, as the lessor, will be
entitled to these amounts as the equipment will revert back to it.
Scenario 2 - Ownership will be Transferred to the Lessee
The gross investment in the lease is determined as follows:
Total annual lease payments (P700,000 x 4 years) P2,800,000

Using the implicit rate of 6%, the net investment in the lease is computed as follows:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Annuity due for 4 periods at 6% 3.673012 P700,000 P2,571,108
Less: Gross investment in the lease 2,800,000
Unearned finance income P228,892

No residual value was included in both the gross and net investment in the lease
since the ownership will be transferred to the lessee and the Company, as the
lessor, will not be entitled to these amounts.

TYPES OF FINANCE LEASES


Depending on the type of lessor’s operations, finance lease can be classified as
either direct financing lease or dealer’s/manufacturer’s lease. Any reference to
manufacturer's lease also include the dealer’s lease. Direct financing lease and
manufacturer's lease are compared as follows:

Illustration 7 - Direct Financing Lease. At the beginning of 2023, SOLIS Bank


financed another entity’s purchase of a specialized machinery with cost of
P7,151,206. Annual lease payments of P1,500,000 are due at the beginning of each
year for the next five years equal to the useful life of the machinery. Residual value
is P800,000. Implicit interest rate is 7%. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the journal entry to record the transaction on the
commencement date:
1. Residual Value is Guaranteed by Lessee
2. Residual Value is Unguaranteed
Scenario 1 - Residual Value is Guaranteed by the Lessee
Gross investment in the lease is computed as follows:
Total annual lease payments (P1,500,000x 5 years) P7,500,000
Add: Guaranteed residual value 800,000
Gross investment in the lease P8,300,000

Discounting these amounts using 7% discount rate will result to the following
amounts of net investment in the lease and unearned finance income:

PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV


Single payment for 5 periods at 7% 0.712986 P800,000 P570,389

Journal entry to record the transaction on commencement date: -


Lease receivable 8,300,000
Unearned finance income 1,148,794
Equipment for lease 7,151,206

Scenario 2 - Residual Value is Unguaranteed


Despite the fact that the residual value is unguaranteed, the amounts of gross and
net investment in the lease, unearned finance income, and journal entry on
commencement date are the same with Scenario 1.
Illustration 8 - Manufacturer’s Lease. On January 1, 2023, ALVAREZ Company
leased out for four years one of its manufactured machineries, which is normally
sold to other entities. Useful life for this machinery is estimated to be five years (i.e.,
lease term is 80% of useful life), while total cost to manufacture the machinery is
P2,500,000. Annual lease payments of P1,200,000 are due at the beginning of each
year starting in 2023 while the residual value is estimated to be P600,000. Implicit
interest rate is 9%. Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios,
determine the journal entry to be recorded on commencement date:

It should be noted that the gross profit is always the same for manufacturer’s
lease, whether the residual value is guaranteed or unguaranteed.

LIMIT ON THE REVENUE TO BE REPORTED ON MANUFACTURER'S LEASE


The amount of revenue to be recognized is the lower between:
a. fair value of the underlying asset; and
b. the present value of the lease payments accruing to the lessor, discounted using
a market rate of interest.

In addition, if the rate charged by the lessor is substantially lower than the
market rate, the amount of revenue shall be limited by the present value of the
cash flows discounted using the market rate.

Illustration 9, On January 1, 2023, CONQUER Company, a manufacturer of aircraft,


entered into a lease agreement to lease out an aircraft for ten years, which is its
remaining economic life. Annual lease payments amounted to P1,700,000 with the
first payment due on January 1, 2023. Ownership over the aircraft will be
transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term. The current fair value of the
aircraft is P12,319,709. Implicit interest rate is 8%. The lease qualifies as a finance
lease since the lease term is 100% of the remaining economic life.

Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the


amount of revenue to be recognized by the Company:
1. Market rate of interest is 7%
2. Market rate ofinterestis 10% -

Scenario 1 - 7% Market Rate of Interest


The present value of the lease payments using the 7% market rate is computed as
follows:

PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV


Annuity due for 10 periods at 7% 7.515232 1,700,000 P12,775,895
PV of lease payments discounted using market rate 12,775,895
Fair value of the underlying asset 12,319,709
Amount to be recognized as revenue (lower) P12,319,709

Scenario 2 - 10% Market Rate of Interest


The present value of the lease payments using the 10% market rate is computed as
follows:

PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV


Annuity due for 10 periods at 10% 6.759024 1,700,000 P11,490,341

The reason for this limitation is to prevent an entity from immediately recognizing
unnecessarily high amounts of revenue (and gross profit) by quoting a lower-than-
market rates of return.

IMPLICIT RATE ON THE LEASE


The interest rate implicit in the lease or the implicit rate is the rate of interest
that causes the:
a. sum of the present value of lease payments and present value of unguaranteed
residual value to equal the net investment in the lessor, which is the sum of the
following:
i. the fair value of the underlying asset; and
ii. any initial direct costs of the lessor (for direct financing lease only).

This can be simplified by the following equation:

a. PV of lease payments; plus Net Investmentin the lease |


b. PV of unguaranteed residual i| a. FVofunderlying asset; plus
value b. Lessor’s initial direct costs (for
direct financing lease only)

Stated otherwise, the implicit rate is the return that a lessor would like to realize
in leasing out assets under finance lease.

The fair value of the underlying asset above may refer to the purchase price of the
direct financing lessor or the cash selling price of the manufacturer lessor.
Initial direct costs are the incremental costs of obtaining a lease that would not
have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained, except for such costs
incurred by a manufacturer or dealer lessor in connection with a finance lease.
Examples of initial direct costs are finder’s fees, agent's commissions, and up-front
fees.
The following are the effects of initial direct costs to direct financing lease and
manufacturer's lease:

Direct Financing Lease Manufacturer's Lease


Added to net investment in the lease; | Expensed outright (i.e., no effect in net
Decrease in unearned finance income; | investment in the lease and implicit rate
Decrease in implicit rate on the lease on the lease)

Initial direct costs related to for manufacturer's lease are expensed since it is
considered as selling costs. In addition, the income (i.e. sales revenue) which these
costs are related to has already been recognized in full.

Illustration 10. A direct financing lessor provided the following information:

Annual lease payments for three years


(to be received at the end of each year) P10,000
Unguaranteed residual value 3,000
Purchase cost of underlying asset 26,000
Initial direct costs 2,152

Required: Determine the implicit rate from the given facts.

Solution:
The first step is to plug the numbers in the equation:

Annual lease payments for 3 years PV amt FV of asset P26,000


Unguaranteed residual value PV amt Initial direct costs 2,152
Should be PV P28,152 Net investment P28,152

Based on the total of the fair value of the underlying asset and the initial direct costs,
the present value of annual lease payments plus the unguaranteed residual value
should be P28,152, which is also equal to the net investment in the lease. In nominal
terms, the total cash flow will be P33,000 ((P10,000 x 3) + 3,000).
Finding the implicit rate involves finding the interest rate that, when used to
discount this P33,000 cash flows, will give a PV of P28,152. This will involve trial
and error.

Trial 1-5%
First, let us try 5%, the relevant computations are the following:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Single payment for 3 periods at 5% 0.863838 P3,000 P2,592
Ordinary annuity for 3 periods at 5% 2.723248 10,000 27,232
Total PV amount P29,824

Since the computed PV of P29,824 is higher than the target PV of P28,152, a higher
rate, say 9% will be used in the trial-and-error computation to arrive at a lower PV
amount.
Trial 2 -9%
Using 9%, the present value shall be computed as follows:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Single payment for 3 periods at 9% 0.772183 P3,000 P2,317
Ordinary annuity for 3 periods at 9% 2.531295 10,000 25,313
Total PV amount P27,630

In this case, the computed PV of P27,630 is now lower than the target P28,152. As
a result, a lower rate than 9% shall be used, say 8%, to arrive at a slightly higher PV
amount

Trial 3 - 8%
Using 8%, the present value shall be computed as follows:

PV Factor of PV Factor CashFlows Total PV


Single payment for 3 periods at 8% 0.793832 P3,000 P2,381
Ordinary annuity for 3 periods at8% 2.577097 10,000 25,771
Total PV amount P28,152

The PV computed above is P28,152 which is now equal to the total of fair value of
the underlying asset plus the lessor’s initial direct cost. In conclusion, the implicit
rate in this example is 8%.
It may appear that the computation of the implicit rate is quite tedious, but in
practice computer software is widely used to easily compute the implicit rate.

APPLICATIONS OF IMPLICIT RATE CALCULATIONS


The previous equation can also be used if one component of the equation is missing,
provided that the other three components plus the implicit rate, if relevant, are
known.

Illustration 11 - Computation of Annual Lease Payments on Direct Financing


Lease. On January 1, 2023, ROSA Financing Company financed a lessee’s acquisition
of a building worth P5,000,000. Initial direct costs amounted to P240,000. Annual
lease payments are due at the start of each year for the next eight years, after which,
the ownership will be transferred to the lessee. The Company would like to earn a 6%
return from this lease.
The amount of annual lease payments and gross investment in the lease are
determined as follows:

Cost of building P5,000,000


Add: Initial direct costs 240,000
Net investment in the lease P5,240,000
Divide by: PV factor of annuity due for 8 periods at 6% 6.582381
Annual lease payments at the beginning of each year P796,065
Multiply: Number of lease payments 8
Gross investment in the lease P6,368,520

Journal entry to record the transaction is as follows:


Lease receivable 6,368,520
Unearned finance income (squeeze) 1,128,520
Building for lease (total cost) 5,240,000

For this illustration, in case there is a given amount of residual value, it shall not be
considered in the computation of annual lease payment since the ownership over
the building will be transferred to the lessee.

Illustration 12 - Computation of Annual Lease Payments on Manufacturer's


Lease. At the beginning of 2023, DURAN Company leased out one of its
manufactured vehicles to another entity for ten years, equal to the vehicle’s useful
life. Cash selling price is P7,000,000 while the manufacturing costs is P4,500,000.
Residual value of P800,000 is guaranteed by the lessee. In addition, initial direct
costs incurred amounted to P190,000. Implicit interest rate is 7%.
The amount of annual lease payments and gross investment in the lease are
determined as follows:
Cash selling price (also net investment in the lease) P7,000,000
Less: PV of guaranteed residual value for 10 periods at
7% (P800,000 x 0.508349) 406,679
PV of annual lease payments P6,593,321
Divide by: PV factor of annuity due for 10 periods at-7% 7.515232
Annual lease payments at the beginning of each year P877,328
Multiply: Number of lease payments 10
Total lease payments P8,773,280
Add: Amount of guaranteed residual value 800,000
Gross investment in the lease P9,573,280
Journal entry to record the transaction is as follows:
Lease receivable 9,573,280
Cost of goods sold 4,500,000
Selling expenses (initial direct costs). 190,000
Unearned finance income 2,573,280
Sales revenue 7,000,000
Inventory 4,500,000
Cash (for initial direct costs) 190,000

Again, the initial direct costs are not considered in determining the net investment
in the lease and the amount of annual lease payments. In addition, the residual value
(whether guaranteed or unguaranteed) was considered in the computations since
there is no transfer of ownership to the lessee. Lastly, l income i.

SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT OF NET INVESTMENT IN THE LEASE
By analogy, subsequent accounting for net investment in the lease is sort of similar
to the subsequent accounting for lease liability, albeit the change in point-of-view:
a. Interest income increases the net investment in the lease (by decreasing the
unearned finance income account equal to the amount of interest income
recognized).
b. Lease payments received from lessee decrease the net investment in the
lease (by decreasing the lease receivable account equal to the amount of
amounts received).

The effects of these amounts are better seen in an amortization table. These
procedures are applicable to both direct financing and manufacturer's leases.
Generally, interest income is determined using the implicit interest rate on the
lease (i.e., beginning net investmentx implicit rate), except for the following:
a. For manufacturer’s lease, when there is a quotation of artificially low rates of
interest in order to attract customers.
b. For manufacturer's lease, if the PV of lease payments, using market rate of
interest, is lower than the fair value of the underlying asset.

For these exceptions, interest income is determined using the market rate of interest
on commencement date.
At the end of each year, the amounts of net investment and gross investment in the
lease (i.e., lease receivable aveount) and unearned finance income are equal to the
following:

_Amounts Ending balance equal to


Gross investment Undiscounted amounts to be received in
(i.e., lease receivable) the future, including unguaranteed RV
Amounts to be recognized as interest

Illustration 13 - Direct Financing Lease. For this illustration, we will be using the
information previously provided for SOLIS Company (Illustration 7). To reiterate,
the net investment in the lease is P7,151,206, gross investment is P8,300,000,

RETURN OF ASSET TO THE LESSOR AT THE END OF THE LEASE TERM


If there is no transfer of ownership nor bargain purchase option on an underlying
asset in a finance lease, the underlying asset will be returned to the lessor at the
end of the lease term. At that time:

a. Net investmentin the lease is equal to the undiscounted amount of residual value,
whether guaranteed or unguaranteed, as can be seen in the previous
amortization table (i.e., zero balance for unearned finance income).
b. When received, the underlying asset shall be recognized equal to its fair value.
Of course, these two amounts are rarely equal so accounting for their difference
becomes necessary. Accounting procedures will depend on whether the residual
value is guaranteed or not and whether the fair value of underlying asset is higher or
lower than the remaining balance of net investment in the lease:
Scenario Accounting for difference
Residual value is guaranteed:
Net investment < FV ofasset | Difference is recognized as gain in profit or loss
Net investment > FV of asset | Difference is to be received as cash from lessee
Residual value is unguaranteed:
Net investment < FV ofasset__| Difference is recognized as gain in profit or loss
Netinvestment>FVofasset | Difference is recognized as loss in profit or loss

Needless to say, in rare circumstances where the carrying amount of the net
investment in the lease is equal to the residual value (or fair value), then no
gain or loss will be recognized nor amounts will be received from the lessee.

Illustration 15. On December 31, 2023, ABELLA Company’s lease with a lessee
involving a vehicle has come to an end. On the same date, the underlying asset shall
be returned to the Company. The balance of net investment in the lease is equal to
the undiscounted residual value of P1,000,000. Required: Under each of the
following independent scenarios, determine the journal entry to record the return
of the vehicle to the Company:
1. Residual value is guaranteed; fair value of vehicle is P1,200,000

No gain or loss shall be recognized in this case since the supposed loss was
shouldered by the lessee (i.e., cash will be received from the lessee).
Scenario 3 - RV is unguaranteed; FV of vehicle is P1,200,000
The journal entry is the same with Scenario 1
Scenario 4 - RV is unguaranteed; FV of vehicle is P750,000
The journal entry to record the receipt of the vehicle:
Vehicle for lease (at fair value) 750,000
Loss on residual value (squeeze) 250,000
Lease receivable 1,000,000

A loss was recognized since the difference is not shouldered by the lessee.
CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Alessor is an entity that provides the right to use an underlying asset to a lessee for
a period of time in exchange for consideration.
2. Generally, lessors are classified into the following large groups: property developers,
banks, captive leasing companies, and independents.
3. For accounting purposes, leases in the perspective of the lessor are classified as
either finance lease or operating lease.
4. Aleaseis classified as finance lease if the lessor transferred substantially all the risks
and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Otherwise, the lease is
classified as operating lease.
5. The classification shall be made on the inception date.
6. Examples of situations that individually or in combination would normally lead toa
lease being classified as a finance lease are:
a. the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of
the lease term (e.g., rent-to-own arrangements);
b. the lease contains a bargain purchase option;
c. the lease term is for a major part of the economic life of the underlying asset even
if title is not transferred (at least 75% of economic life);
d. at the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at least
substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset (at least 90% of the fair
value of the underlying asset); and
e. the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that only the lessee can use it
without major modifications.
7. Onthe commencement date, the lessor shall account for the finance lease as follows:
a. Recognize a net investment in the lease.
b. Derecognize the underlying asset.
8, Net investment in the lease is the present value of gross investment in the lease,
discounted using the implicit interest rate.
9. Gross investment in the lease is equal to lease payments plus unguaranteed residual
value. The balance in the lease receivable account is equal to the gross investment in
the lease.

10.Unearned finance income represents the total amount of interest income to be


recognized over the lease term (Unearned finance income = Gross investment in the
lease - net investment in the lease).
11.The present value of residual value shall be included in the net investment in the
lease, whether it is guaranteed or unguaranteed. On the other hand, any residual
value guarantee shall be excluded if the underlying asset will not revert back to the
lessor (e.g., there is a transfer of ownership or purchase option).
12. The following are the classifications of finance leases:

13.The amount of revenue to be recognized from manufacturer's lease is the lower


between:
a. fair value of the underlying asset; and
b. the present value of the lease payments accruing to the lessor, discounted using
a market rate of interest.
14.In subsequently accounting for the finance leases, whether direct financing or
manufacturer's, the amounts of interest income and carrying amount are
determined based on the amortization table.
15. However, if the periodic lease payments are made at the beginning of each period,
the carrying amount of net investment in the lease is equal to net investment in the
lease at the beginning of the period plus interest income during the period.
16. The returned underlying asset shall be measured at its fair value at the end of the
lease term.

be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term.
7. If there is no transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term, a lease is
automatically classified as an operating lease.
8. Under a finance lease, the carrying amount of the underlying asset shall be
derecognized from the books of the lessor.
9. Residual value, whether guaranteed or not, shall be included in the gross
investment in the lease, except when the asset will not revert back to the lessor.

Chapter 10A - Lessor Accounting — Operating Lease and Other Lessor Matters

CHAPTER 10A
LESSOR ACCOUNTING - OPERATING LEASE AND
OTHER LESSOR MATTERS
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The accounting for operating leases.
2. The accounting for lease of land and building together.
3, Theaccounting for lease modifications and changes in lease classification in the
lessor’s perspective.
4. The simultaneous accounting procedures in the books of the lessee and lessor.

OPERATING LEASES
In the previous chapter, it was discussed that if there is a substantial transfer of
risks and rewards, the lessor shall account for the lease as a finance lease.
Otherwise, it will be accounted for as an operating lease.
In practice, lease contracts that normally result to an operating lease in the
perspective of the lessor are those involving commercial and office spaces.
However, all other lease contracts are not precluded to be classified as eperseing
lease, as long as there is no substantial transfer of risks and rewards.
GENERAL ACCOUNTING FOR OPERATING LEASES
Lessor’s accounting for operating leases is very straightforward relative to the
accounting for finance lease primarily because there are no present value
calculations. Instead, the following primary procedures will be relevant:
a. Generally, rental income shall be recognized ona straight-line basis (i.e., equal
amounts per period), regardless of the actual amounts of rentals received.
b. The underlying asset is not derecognized, instead it will continue to be
accounted for by the lessor. As such, if the underlying asset is depreciable and
the entity is using the cost model, the lessor shall record depreciation.
If the underlying asset is a land and/or a building, it is generally classified as
investment property (as discussed in the Volume 1 of this Intermediate
Accounting series); otherwise, it is considered as PPE or intangible asset,
whichever is relevant. In addition, the underlying asset is also subject to
impairment under PAS 36, except when it is accounted for using the fair value
model under PAS 40.
The amounts included in the straight-line calculation of rental income are
those lease payments that will be received from the lessee, but excluding the
following:

Chapter 10A — Lessor Accounting - Operating Lease and Other Lessor Matters

a. Security deposit which will be recognized as a separate liability.


b. Variable lease payments based on performance, such as based on sales or
output. These will be recognized as rental income during the period these were
earned. However, the minimum portion of these variable lease payments shall be
included in the straight-line calculation of rental income.
c. Non-lease payments received such as those related to security and
maintenance. This will be recognized as a separate income when earned.

In cases the amount of rent received is not equal to the rental income
recognized, the difference will have the following consequences:
Scenario > Consequences (depending on circumstances)
: ‘ Increase in accrued rent receivable or
Rent received < Rent income : s
Decrease in unearned rent income
< ‘ Increase in unearned rent income or
Rent received > Rent income : i
Decrease in accrued rent receivable

On a cumulative basis, the following are the relevant guidelines:


Scenario Amount of cumulative difference
Cumulative rent received < .
; RENE Accrued rent receivable (asset)
Cumulative rent income
Cumulative rent recei > : Snatltgs
; ve Unearned rent income (liability)
Cumulative rent income

The amounts of accrued rent receivable and unearned rent income shall be zero by
the end of the lease term. By analogy, these rules are similar to the rules applied to
the lessee’s accounting for short-term leases and lease of low-value assets.
Illustration 1 - Increasing Amount of Rent. On January 1, 2023, MAHINAY
Company entered into a four-year lease contract involving its office space due at the
beginning of each year. Lease payment for 2023 is set at P1,000,000 while lease
payments for succeeding years will increase by 10% annually and payable every
December 31. Security deposit of P400,000 was received from the lessee. Implicit
interest rate is 7%. The lease is properly accounted for as an operating lease.
The total amount of rentals to be received over the lease term is determined as
follows:
Year Rentals
2023 P1,000,000
2024 (P1,000,000 x 110%) 1,100,000
2025 (P1,100,000x 110%) 1,210,000
2026 (P1,210,000 x 110%) 1,331,000

payments on December 31, 2023:
Cash - 1,000,000
Accrued rent receivable 160,250
Rental income 1,160,250

Since the amount of rental income is higher than the amount of rental received, the
difference is recognized as accrued rent receivable.

receivable builds up during the first few years and will be gradually decreased
during the latter years. Again, this will zeroed out at the end of the lease term.
b. Implicit interest rate is ignored.
Illustration 2 - With Rent-Free Periods. At the beginning of 2023, ESGUERRA
Company entered into a four-year lease contract covering a commercial space by
agreeing to receive annual lease payments of P3,000,000 every December 31 of
each year. In addition to this annual lease payment, the lessee is also required to
pay, every December 31, 2% of its annual sales.
The Company will also charge additional P200,000 per year for the security services
it will provide in the premises. Lastly, the Company agreed to slash 50% off from
the annual lease payments for 2025 and 2026 (however, not reducing the 2%
variable lease payments) as part of its promotional campaign. The amounts of
revenue for 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 were P20,000,000, P22,000,000,
P18,000,000, and P23,000,000, respectively. The lease is properly accounted for as
an operating lease.
The total amount of fixed lease payments to be received over the lease term is
determined as follows:
Year Rentals
2023 P3,000,000
2024 3,000,000
2025 (P3,000,000x 50%) 1,500,000
2026 (P3,000,000 x 50%) 1,500,000
Total rental payments (fixed portion) P9,000,000
Divide by: Lease term 4 years
Rental income per year (fixed portion) P2,250,000

The readers should take note that the following were excluded from the total rental
payments:
a. Variable lease payments of 2% of annual sales will be recognized as rental
income when earned and will result to annual amounts of rental income not
equal with each other.

There is an unearned rent income since the total amount of P3,400,000 rental
received (P3,000,000 + P400,000) is higher than the total rental income of
P2,650,000 (P2,250,000 + P400,000). However, the variable lease component has no

b. Amounts of rental income per year are not equal to each other solely because of
the variable lease payments received, which is based on the lessee’s fluctuating
revenue.
c. Annually, P200,000 service revenue will be recognized upon provision of
security services to the lessee.

OTHER MATTERS AFFECTING OPERATING LEASES


For all operating leases, the following are the accounting piseaiires for initial
direct costs incurred by the lessor:
a. These are amortized over the /ease term.
b. Any unamortized amount shall be added to the carrying amount of the
underlying asset.

In addition, depreciation of underlying asset starts when it is ready for use, thus,
depreciation is still recorded even though the underlying asset is not leased out to a
lessee.
Lastly, lease incentives provided to the lessee shall reduce the total amount of
rental income to be recognized over the lease term. Lease incentives are payments
made by a lessor to a lessee associated with a lease or the reimbursement or
assumption by a lessor of costs of a lessee.
Illustration 3. On January 1, 2023, ENDURE Company, with a business of leasing
out commercial spaces, leased out one of its commercial spaces for four years by
receiving P1,300,000 on each of the first two years and P1,500,000 on each of the
last two years, payable at the end of each year. The commercial space was built and
ready to be used starting on January 1, 2022. The Company incurred P15,000,000

for the construction and expects to use the same for 15 years, Initial direct costs
incurred related to lease amounted to P300,000. As a way to induce the lessee to
enter into the lease, the Company waived P300,000 of the lease payment for the
first year as a form of lease incentive.

The total amount of rentals to be received over the lease term shall be determined
as follows:

LEASE OF LAND AND BUILDING TOGETHER


A lessor may lease outa whole building to a single lessee in one lease contract. Since
a building needs land on which it will stand, a lease of a whole building impliedly
also includes the lease of the land on which it sits.
So how should the lease of land and building be classified in the lessor’s
perspective? The answer is that the lessor shall separately classify the lease of
the land apart from the lease of the building by using the following guidelines:
a. Land has indefinite useful life, so it will most likely be classified as an operating
lease. However, the leased land is not precluded to be classified as a finance
lease, if the risks and rewards were substantially transferred to the lessee.
b. Building has definite useful life, so it will be classified as either a finance or an
operating lease, depending on the circumstances.
Periodic lease payments are allocated based on the relative fair values of the
leasehold interests in the land and building components. However, if the lease
payments cannot be reliably allocated between these two elements, the entire
lease contract is generally classified as a finance lease. (Note: leasehold interest is
different from the property itself).
Lastly, if the land element is immaterial to the lease, a lessor may treat the lease of
land and building as a single unit for classification purposes.
Illustration 4, On January 1, 2023, a lessor leased out for five years one of its office
buildings, together with the land on which the building sits, to a single lessee in a
single lease contract. The carrying amount of land is P1,800,000 while the building
has carrying amount of P2,700,000. Advance annual lease payment for this lease
amounted to P1,007,815. Leasehold interests over the land and building have fair
values of P2,000,000 and P3,000,000, respectively. Implicit interest rate was 6%.
Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the
accounting for the annual lease payments of P1,007,815:

1. The lease of building component is classified as finance lease, while the lease of
land component is operating lease.
2. Both the lease of building and the lease of land are classified as finance lease,
3. Both the lease of building and the lease of land are classified as operating lease.
Scenario 1 - The lease of the building component is classified as .a finance
lease while the lease of the land componentis an operatinglease
In this case, the first step is to allocate the annual lease payment of P1,007,815 into
the lease of building and the lease of land based on the relative fair values of their
leasehold interest:
Allocation to P3,000,000
Lease of Building P1,007,815 xX —Fou4p3m.~ £604,689
Allocation to P2,000,000_
Lease of Land P1,007,815 xX poy p3q.- ~—«~P403,126

The P403,126 allocation to the lease of land shall be recognized as rental income
each year. The carrying of the land is not derecognized.

On the other hand, the P604,689 allocated to the lease of building shall form part of
the net investment in the lease initially measured as follows:

PV Factor of PVFactor CashFlows Total PV


Annuity due for 5 periods at 6% 4.465106 604,689 P2,700,000

The journal entry to record the recognition of the net investment in the lease and
the derecognition of the building is as follows:
Lease receivable (604,689 x Syrs) 3,023,445
Building, net 2,700,000
Unearned finance income(squeeze) 323,445
This net investment in the lease shall be subsequently accounted using the
following amortization table:
Lease Interest Amorti- Net
Date Pmts. Income zation Investment
Jan. 1, 2023 2,700,000
Jan.1,2023 604,689 - (604,689) 2,095,311

Jan.1,2027 604,689 34,228 (570,461) -

To summarize, the following amounts will be recorded in the Company’s profit or


loss for the first three years of the lease term:

Scenario 2 - Both the lease of the building and the lease of the land are
classified as FINANCE leases
In this case, no allocation is needed since both of the leases are classified as finance
leases. As such, the net investment in the lease is computed as follows:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Annuity due for 5 periods at 6% 4.465106 1,007,815 P4,500,000

The journal entry to recognize the net investment in the lease and the derecognition
of both the land and building is as follows:

Land 1,800,000
Building, net 2,700,000
Unearned finance income(squeeze) 539,075

This net investment in the lease shall be subsequently accounted for using the
following amortization table:
Lease Interest Amorti- Net

Jan. 1, 2023 4,500,000
Jan.1,2023 1,007,815 - (1,007,815) 3,492,185

Jan.1,2027 1,007,815 57,047 (950,768) -

In this scenario, the total amount to be recognized in profit or loss is limited to the
interest income based on the above amortization table (e.g., P209,531 interest
income for 2023, P161,634 interest income for 2024, P110,863 for 2025).
Scenario 3 - Both the lease of the building and the lease of the land are
classified as OPERATING leases
In this case, no allocation is needed since both of the leases are classified as
operating leases. As such, the carrying amounts of the land and building are not
derecognized.

In addition, annual rental income of P1,007,815 are recognized each year in the
Company’s profit or loss over the duration of the lease term less the depreciation
expense from the building over its useful life.

CHANGES IN LEASE CLASSIFICATION


As previously mentioned in the preceding chapter, the lease classification, whether
operating or finance lease, is determined on inception date. This initial
classification shall not be changed from events arising from any of the following:
a. Changes in estimates (such as economic life or residual value of underlying
asset)
b. Changes in circumstances (such as default of the lessee)
Instead, lease classification shall be reassessed only when there is a lease
modification, which will be discussed in the next section.

Illustration 5. At the beginning of 2023, ROQUE Company leased out for five years
an equipment with useful life of 10 years. As of the same date, the lease was
properly classified as an operating lease. Fast forward to January 1, 2024, the total
useful life of the equipment was reassessed to be only six years.
Despite the decrease in useful life and corresponding increase in percentage of lease
term over the equipment’s useful life (i.e., 83.33% or 5-year lease term/6-year revised
total useful life), the classification of the lease shall not be changed to a finance
lease. The reason is that there is no lease modification that is the supposed trigger
in reassessing the lease classification (i.e. only a change in estimate in this case).

Illustration 6. On January 1, 2023, ANDRES Company entered into a four-year lease


contract involving its machinery with useful life of five years. As of this date, the
lease was properly classified as a finance lease. Fast forward to January 1, 2024, the
total useful life of this machinery was revised upwards to eight years.

Despite of the increase in useful life and corresponding decrease in percentage of lease
term over the machinery’s useful life (i.e, 50% or 4-year lease term/8-year revised
total useful life), the classification of the lease will not be changed to an operating
lease because of the lack of lease modification.

LEASE MODIFICATION OF FINANCE LEASE


Similar to lessee’s perspective, lease modification on the perspective of lessor
involves change/s in the original terms of the lease contract.
For accounting purposes, lease modifications of finance lease are classified as
follows:
a. Those that will change the classification from finance lease to operating lease
b. Those that will not change finance lease classification
1. Modifications that will result to a separate lease.
2. All other modifications that will not change the lease classification.

LEASE MODIFICATION - FROM FINANCE LEASE TO OPERATING LEASE


Modifications that will normally make a finance lease turn into an operating lease
include, but are not limited to, the following scenarios:
a. Shortening of the lease term relative to the useful life of the underlying asset.
b. Decrease in the present value of the lease payments relative to the fair value.
c. Removal of the provision transferring the ownership over the underlying asset
to the lessee at the end of the lease term.
d. Removal of the provision involving a bargain purchase option.
Because of these modifications, the lease would have been classified as an operating
lease assuming that the modification had been in effect at the inception date.
Accounting for this kind of lease modification involves the following procedures:
a. Calculate the updated balance of net investment in the lease (i.e., lease receivable
less balance of unearned finance income) as of the date of lease modification.
b. Derecognize the updated net investment in the lease and recognize the
underlying asset equal to the derecognized amount of net investment in
the lease.
No gain or loss will be recognized in recording the journal entry in letter (b).
aA

Moving forward, the lessor shall recognize depreciation expense on the


underlying asset and recognize rental income, instead of interest income.

Illustration 7. On January 1, 2023, JOSE Company leased out its building with
carrying amount of P2,985,650 for eight years, over the building’s useful life. Annual
lease payments of P500,000 are due at the end of each year starting in 2023. Implicit
rate is 7%. The lease of the building was properly classified and accounted for as
finance lease. On December 31, 2024, after the lease payment for that year, the lease
agreement was amended by shortening the total lease term to just four years (i.e.,
shortened until December 31, 2026).
In this case, the initial measurement of net investment in the lease is computed as
follows:

PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV


Ordinary annuity for 8 periods at 7% 5.971299 P500,000 P2,985,650
Less: Gross investment in the lease (P500,000 x 8) 4,000,000
Unearned finance income P1,014,350
Based on the amortization table, the net investment in the lease is subsequently
accounted as follows:
Gross Unearned
Lease _— Interest Net Investment/ Finance

Chapter 10A - Lessor Accounting - Operating Lease and Other Lessor Matters

After considering the modification made, the total revised lease term, expressed as
percentage of the useful life, has gone down to 50% (4-year shortened total lease
term/8-year total useful life) (i.e., less than 75%). As a result, the lease shall be
reclassified as an operating lease. To account for this change in classification, the
Company shall make the following journal entry on December 31, 2024:
Building 2,383,271
Unearned finance income 616,729
Lease receivable 3,000,000

The entry derecognizes the net investment in the lease and recognizes the underlying
asset for the same amount. The reason for this is that under the concepts of
operating lease, it is the Company that, as the lessor, should record the underlying
asset. In addition, no gain or loss was recognized in the reclassification.

Moving forward, the Company will record the following amounts every year:
a. Rental income of P500,000.
b. Depreciation on building of P397,212 (P2,383,271/6 years remaining useful life).
The six-year remaining useful life is equal to eight-year useful life less two-year
period that has elapsed.

LEASE MODIFICATION - NO CHANGE IN FINANCE LEASE CLASSIFICATION


Accounting for this kind of modification will depend whether it will result to a
separate lease or not. The modification will result to a separate lease if both of
the following conditions are met:
a. the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use
one or more underlying assets; and
b. the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with
the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate
adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the
particular contract.
In assessing the criterion (b) the rate of lease payment on the original lease shall be
presumed as equivalent to stand-alone price.

Accounting When the Modification Resulted to a Separate Lease


In this case, the following accounting procedures are relevant:
a. The original lease shall not be affected.
' b. Two leases (i.e. original and modified) shall be accounted for separately.
Consequently, two amortization tables will be maintained moving forward,

Accounting When the Modification Did Not Result to a Separate Lease - PFRS 9
In this case, the provisions in PFRS 9 shall be followed, Specific accounting
procedures will depend on whether there is a substantial modification or not.
Judgment will be applied in this assessment.

If the lease modification is considered as “not substantial”:


a. The revised net investment in the lease shall be measured equal to the present
value of the revised lease payments discounted using the original implicit rate.
b. Any difference between the carrying amount of the net investment in the lease
shall be recognized in profit or loss.

If the lease modification is considered “substantial”:


a. The previous net investment in the lease shall be derecognized.
b. Anewinvestment in the lease shall be recognized and measured equal to its fair
value (using market rate on that date), with the difference between this amount
and the amount of previous net investment in the lease reported in profit or loss.

Illustration 8. On January 1, 2023, TEA Financing Company rented out an


equipment for annual lease payments of P700,000 due immediately. The equipment
was purchased shortly before the lease at cost of P3,936,016. The lease is to run for
seven years, which is the equipment’s economic life. Implicit rate is 8%.

Fast forward to January 3, 2025, the Company and the lessee agreed to increase the
lease payments to P800,000 starting with the January 1, 2026 lease payment.
Market rates as of that date averaged 9%. The Company properly assessed that this
modification shall be accounted under PFRS 9.
Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the
accounting for the modification:
1. The modification is considered as not substantial.
2. The modification is considered as substantial

Scenario 1 - The modification is considered as not substantial


In this case, the first step is to determine the initial net investment in the lease on
January 1, 2023:

PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV


Annuity due for 7 periods at 8% 5.622880 P700,000 P3,936,016
Less: Gross investment in the lease (P700,000x 7) 4,900,000
Unearned finance income P963,984

Next, determine the net investment in the lease as of the date of modification on
January 3, 2025:
Gross Unearned

The modified net investment in the lease on January 3, 2025, using the original
discount rate of 8% is determined as follows:

PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV


Ordinary annuity for 4 periods at 8% 3.312127 P800,000 P2,649,702
Less: Gross investment in the lease (P800,000 x 4) 3,200,000
Unearned finance income P550,298

The readers should take note that 4 periods represent the remaining four lease
payments (7 total lease payments less 3 lease payments already made). In addition,
ordinary annuity was used since the cash flow will happen starting on January 1,
2026 or one period after January 3, 2025.
The journal entry to record the modification on January 3, 2025 is as follows:
Lease receivable (P3.2M - P2.8M) 400,000
Gain on modification - P/L
(P2,649,702 - P2,318,489) 331,213
Unearned finance income
(P550,298 - P481,51 1) 68,787

Scenario 2 - The modification is considered as substantial


In this scenario, the same amounts in Scenario 1 for net investment, gross
investment, and unearned finance income as of January 3, 2025 will be used.
However, the fair value of the new net investment in the lease shall be determined
as follows, using the revised 9% market rate:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Ordinary annuity for 4 periods at 9% 3.239720 P800,000 P2,591,776
Less: Gross investment in the lease (P800,000x 4) 3,200,000
Unearned finance income P608,224

The following journal entry shall be made to derecognize the previous net
investment in the lease and to recognize the new net investment in the lease:
Unearned finance income - old 481,511
Lease receivable - new 3,200,000
Loan receivable - old 2,800,000
Unearned finance income - new 608,224
Gain on modification - P/L
(P2,591,776 - P2,318,489) 273,287

LEASE MODIFICATION OF OPERATING LEASE


A lessor shall account for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from
the effective date of the modification, considering any prepaid or accrued lease
payments relating to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the new
lease.

LEASE MODIFICATION - NO CHANGE IN OPERATING LEASE CLASSIFICATION


In this case, there will be no journal entries made in accounting for the
modification, but the amount of periodic rental income will be affected moving
forward. The amount of revised periodic net income is computed as follows:
Total revised lease payments (excluding variable lease payments
and non-lease components) Pxx
Add: Balance of unearned rent income (if any) XX
Less: Balance of accrued rent receivable (if any) (xx)
Net revised lease payments Pxx
Divided by: Remaining lease term (revised, if relevant) [in years]
Revised periodic rental income (excluding variable lease payments) Pxx

Illustration 9. SEVILLA Company currently has a balance of unearned rent income


of P45,000 from one of its operating leases. On December 31, 2022, annual lease
payment for this lease has been modified to be fixed at P700,000 starting for the
year 2023. Remaining lease term is five years.
Starting in 2023, the annual rental income to be recognized is computed as follows:
Total revised lease payments (P700,000 x 5) P3,500,000
Add: Balance of unearned rent income 45,000
Net revised lease payments P3,545,000

Illustration 10. On January 1, 2023, BELTRAN Company entered into a six-year


lease contract involving its warehouse which has a useful life of ten years. Annual
lease payments of P1,000,000 are due at the start of each year and will increase by
P100,000 starting in 2024. The lease was properly classified as an operating lease.
On December 31, 2024, the lease agreement was modified to adjust the annual lease
payments at a fixed amount of P1,300,000 for the next four years.
Before considering the modification, the annual rental income is computed as

LEASES IN THE LESSEE’S AND LESSOR’S PERSPECTIVES


One may have in mind that the lease liability recognized by the lessee is a mirror of
the net investment recognized by the lessor. In addition, it may also appear that the
derecognized asset of the lessor is recognized as a ROU asset by the lessee.
Despite these, it cannot be expected that the lease liability in the lessee’s books is
equal to the net investment in the lessor’s books, and the ROU asset in the lessee’s
books is the carrying amount of the asset derecognized by the lessor. Consequently,
interest income of the lessor from the net investment is also not necessarily equal to
the interest expense of the lessee from the lease liability.
The reason/s for these differences may include one or a combination of the
following:
a. The implicit rate used by the lessor may not be known by the lessee (which in
turn, will use its incremental borrowing rate).
b. Unguaranteed residual value is included in the net investment in the lease in the
lessor’s books, while it is excluded from the lease liability in the lessee’s books.
c. Theamount of guaranteed residual value is included in the net investment in the
lease, but only the amount of expected shortfall is included in the lease liability.
d. The lease is accounted as operating lease in the books of the lessor, but the lessee
is still required to recognize ROU asset and lease liability.
Illustration 11 - Differences in Discount Rates. On January 1, 2023, PISTACHIO
Financing Company leased a machinery to LAUREL Company for three years. The
ownership over the machinery will be transferred to LAUREL Company at the end
of the lease term. Annual lease payments of P400,000 are due every December 31
of each year starting in 2023. Implicit rate of 8% is not known by LAUREL.
Incremental borrowing rate of LAUREL is 6%. Required: Determine the (a) initial
measurement of the net investment in the lease in PISTACHIO’s books; and (b)
initial measurement of the lease liability in LAUREL’s books.
PISTACHIO Company’s Books (Lessor)
The initial measurement of the net investment in the lease is determined follows:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Ordinary annuity for 3 periods at8% 2.577097 P400,000 P1,030,839

follows:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Ordinary annuity for 3 periods at6% 2.673012 P400,000 P 1,069,205
Since the initial measurement of the net investment in the lease and the lease
liability are different, the amount of interest income in PISTACHIO’s books is
different from the interest expense in LAUREL's books.

2023, SEAFOAM Company leased an asset from FERN Company for six years. The
asset’s useful life is seven years. The contract calls for an annual lease payment of
P500,000 to be made every January 1 of each year starting in 2023. In addition, the
asset has an unguaranteed residual value of P700,000. Implicit interest rate in the
lease is 7%, which is also known by SEAFOAM Company. Required: Determine the
(a) initial measurement of the net investment in the lease in FERN’s books; and (b)
initial measurement of the lease liability in SEAFOAM’s books.
FERN Company’s Books (Lessor)
The initial measurement of the net investment in the lease is determined follows:

follows:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Annuity due for 6 periods at 7% 5.100197 P500,000 P2,550,099

In this case, the difference arises from the fact that the lessee did not include the
unguaranteed residual value in the measurement of its lease liability.

for the asset, even though its expected value by that time is just P300,000. Implicit
rate is 9%, which is not known by LIME. LIME’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%.
Required: Determine the (a) initial measurement of the net investment in the lease
in MINT’s books; and (b) initial measurement of the lease liability in LIME’s books.

one of its office buildings to SAGE Company for four years, even though the
remaining economic life is 20 years. Annual lease payments of P1,000,000 are due
every December 31 of each year. Implicit interest rate of 7% is known by SAGE
Company. Required: Determine the (a) initial measurement of the net investment
in the lease in JADE’s books; and (b) initial measurement of the lease liability in
SAGE's books.

JADE Company’s Books (Lessor)


Since the lease does not qualify as a finance lease, JADE Company, as the lessor, shall
not recognize net investment in the lease. Instead, it shall recognize the P1,000,000
lease payments as annual rental income.

SAGE Company’s Books (Lessee)


Regardless of the classification of the lease in the books of the lessor (and the lessor’s
non-recognition of net investment in the lease), the lessee shall still recognize ROU
asset and lease liability, unless the exception of the short-term lease or lease of low-
value asset applies.

Chapter 10A—Lessor Accounting — Operating Lease and Other Lessor Matters

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. A lease is classified as an operating lease if there is no substantial transfer of all the
risks and rewards of ownership over the underlying asset.
2. The following are the accounting procedures for operating leases:
a. Rental income shall be recognized on a straight-line-basis, regardless of the
actual amounts of rentals received. In line with this, unearned rental income or
accrued rental income shall be recognized as follows:
i. Cumulative rent received < Cumulative rent income: accrued rent receivable
ii. Cumulative rent received > Cumulative rent income: unearned rent income
b. Variable lease payments based on revenue are not included in the lease
payments that will be recognized on a straight-line basis. These lease payments
shall be recognized as rental income when earned.
c. Underlying asset is not derecognized. Depreciation, if relevant, shall start when
it is ready for use.
d. Initial direct costs are amortized over the related lease term. Unamortized
amounts are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset.
e. Security deposits are accounted separately.
3. Inalease of land and building together, the lease of the land componentis most likely
classified as an operating lease while the lease of the building component is either a
finance or an operating lease.
4. Changes in the lease classification are made only when there is a lease modification
(ie., not when there are changes in estimate).
5. If a lease modification resulted to reclassification of a lease from finance lease to
operating lease, the lessor shall derecognize the net investment in the lease and
simultaneously recognize the underlying asset for the same amount. No gain or loss
shall be recognized in this reclassification.
6. Ifalease modification only changed the cash flows of a finance lease:
a. Ifcertain conditions are met, account the modification separately as a new lease.
b. Otherwise, apply the provisions under PFRS 9.
7. Ina lease modification of an operating lease, the balance in accrued rental income
or unearned rental income shall be considered in determining the lease payments.
8. It cannot be expected that the lease liability in the lessee’s books is equal to the net
investment in the lessor’s books, and the ROU asset in the lessee’s books is the
carrying amount of the asset derecognized by the lessor.
9. Even though the lessor accounted the lease as operating lease, the lessee is still
required to recognize lease liability and ROU asset in its books, except when the
short-term lease or the lease of low-value assets applies.

CHAPTER 10A: SELF-TEST EXERCISES

True or False
1. Alease is classified as operating lease if there is a transfer of ownership over the
underlying asset at the end of the lease term.
2. The amount of rental income recognized from operating lease is equal to the
amount lease payments received.
3. Non-lease payments received are recognized as other income apart from rental
income.
4. Ifthe cumulative amount of rent received is higher than the cumulative rent income
recognized, there is a balance in the unearned rent income account.
5. If, during the year, the rent received is lower than the rent income, there is either
an increase in unearned rent income or a decrease in accrued rent receivable.
6. Initial direct costs shall be amortized over the underlying asset’s remaining useful
life.
7. Depreciation of an underlying asset shall start when it is ready for intended use.
g. Ina lease of land and building together, if the lease payments cannot be reliably
allocated between the land and building elements, the entire lease contract is
generally classified as finance lease.
9. Change in the estimate of an underlying asset’s useful life shall trigger a change in
the lease classification.
10. Ifthere is a lease modification from finance lease to operating lease, the lessor shall
recognize the underlying asset at its fair value and derecognize the net investment
in the lease.
11. Lease modification of finance lease that did not result to a separate lease shall be
accounted using the provisions under PFRS 9.
12. Unguaranteed residual values will result to differences in the net investment in the
lease in the lessor’s books and lease liability in the lessee’s books.

CHAPTER 11
SUBLEASE, AND SALE AND LEASEBACK
Chapter Overview and Objectives
ttt errr rrr itt tet

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The parties in a sublease contract.
2. Theaccounting for the sublease in the books of the intermediate lessor.
3. The parties ina sale and leaseback transaction.
4. Theaccounting fora sale and leaseback transaction assuming there is a transfer
of control over the underlying asset.
5. The accounting for a sale and leaseback transaction assuming there is no
transfer of control over the underlying asset.

SUBLEASES
In the previous chapters covering lease accounting, there were only two parties
involved namely the lessor and the lessee. However, there are some circumstances
wherein the original lessee leases out the underlying asset to another lessee while
maintaining the original lease. This kind of setup is called the sublease. Graphically,
this can be shown as follows:

Lessor

Head lease |

Original lessee /intermediate lessor

Sublease |

Sublessee

As early as now, readers are oriented that in this chapter, there will be a lot of
references to the previous chapters involving accounting for leases in the
perspective of both the lessor and the lessee.

ACCOUNTING FOR SUBLEASES - LESSOR AND SUBLESSEE


Subleases do not affect the accounting by the lessor (classifying the lease as either
finance or operating lease in accordance with Chapter 10), neither the accounting
by the sublessee (applying the general lessee requirements in Chapter 9). However,
additional accounting procedures are made in the perspective of the original lessee
(also known as the intermediate lessor).

Chapter 11 — Sublease, and Sale and Leaseback

ACCOUNTING FOR SUBLEASES - ORIGINAL LESSEE/INTERMEDIATE LESSOR


Accounting for subleases in the point-of-view of the original lessee/intermediate
lessor will depend on its accounting for the head lease, which is either of the
following:
a. Used the general lessee accounting model (i.e., recognition of ROU asset and
lease liability); or
b. Applied the short-term lease exception, if applicable.

(Note: The original lessee/intermediate lessor cannot apply the low-value underlying
asset exception since the existence of such sublease disqualifies the use of this exception.)
Details on the accounting for the sublease are the following:

Used the general lessee Applied the short-term


_ accounting model in the lease exception, if
head lease applicable -
Can be either finance or
poh operating with reference to
aap = tte the ROU asset, rather than the Operating lease only
underlying asset itself

ACCOUNTING FOR SUBLEASE IF THE GENERAL LESSEE ACCOUNTING MODEL


WAS USED IN THE HEAD LEASE
As an intermediate lessor, the original lessee shall use the indicators discussed in
Chapter 10 to determine whether the sublease is classified as finance or operating
lease. The accounting procedures for the sublease will depend on its classification:

The readers should take note that in the intermediate lessor’s books, both the head
lease (as represented by the lease liability) and the sublease (as represented by the
net investment in the lease or rental income) are recorded and accounted.
Illustration 1 - Sublease is Classified as Finance Lease. GABRIEL Company has
a business strategy of leasing property from a lessor at a “wholesale” lease
payments (i.e., the head lease) and subsequently leasing out the same property to
other lessees at a “retail” lease payments (i.e., the sublease).
At the beginning of 2023, GABRIEL leased for five years, a warehouse from MATEO
Properties by paying annual lease payments of P1,000,000 at the beginning of each
year, starting on that date. Incremental borrowing rate of GABRIEL is 7%.
One day after the original lease has been consummated, on January 2, 2023,
GABRIEL leased out the warehouse to NICOLAS Logistics for five years. GABRIEL
will receive annual lease payments of P1,200,000 on this lease due at the beginning
of each year. Implicit rate on the sublease is 8%. The sublease is properly classified
as finance lease.
In this case, the following are the relationships among the parties:

MATEO Properties (Lessor)

Head lease |

GABRIEL Company
(Original lessee/intermediate lessor)

NICOLAS Logistics
(Sublessee)

Accounting by MATEO Properties (the Lessor in the Head Lease)


MATEO will classify and account for the head lease of its warehouse as either
finance lease (Chapter 10) or operating lease (Chapter 10A). MATEO’s accounting
will not be affected by the existence of sublease to NICOLAS.

Chapter 11 — Sublease, and Sale and Leaseback

Accounting by NICOLAS Logistics (the Sublessee)


NICOLAS will account for the sublease, as a lessee, by recognizing ROU asset and
lease liability (using the concepts in Chapter 9). NICOLAS’ accounting will not be
affected by the fact that this is just a sublease.
Accounting by GABRIEL Company (the Original Lessee/Intermediate Lessor) -
Initial Accounting for the Head Lease and the Sublease
The initial amounts of ROU asset and lease liability from the head lease as of
January 1, 2023 are computed as follows:
Lease Liab./
PV Factor of PVFactor Cash Flows ROU Asset
Annuity due for 5 periods at7% 4.387211 P1,000,000 P4,387,211
These amounts are recorded as follows:

Right-of-use asset 4,387,211


Lease liability 4,387,211

On the other hand, the net investment in the sublease as of January 1, 2023 is
computed as follows:
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Total PV
Annuity due for 5 periods at8% 4.312127 P1,200,000 P5,174,552
Less: Gross investment (P1,200,000 x 5) 6,000,000
Unearned finance income P825,448

The sublease is recorded on January 2, 2023 as follows:


Lease receivable (from sublease) 6,000,000
Right-of-use asset (from head lease) 4,387,211
Unearned finance income 825,448
Gain on sublease (squeeze) 787,341

The readers should take note of the following:


a. Since the underlying asset was leased out immediately, the amount of ROU asset
to be derecognized is equal to its initial measurement.
b. There is a gain on sublease since the net investment in the lease (i.e.,
P5,174,552) is higher than the carrying amount of the ROU asset (i.e.,
P4,387,211).
Accounting by GABRIEL Company (the Original Lessee/Intermediate Lessor) —
Subsequent Accounting for the Head Lease and the Sublease
Subsequent accounting in the records of GABRIEL will include the following:
a. Lease liability from the head lease shall be amortized separately using the
concepts from Chapter 9. Interest expense will arise from this amortization
process using 7% interest rate.

Illustration 2 - Sublease Classified as Operating Lease. On January 1, 2023,


MENDEZ Company leased for six years an office space from CUNANAN Company.
Annual lease payments of P600,000 are due at the beginning of each year, starting
in 2023. Incremental borrowing rate of MENDEZ is 9%.
Due to the expected temporary non-utilization of the office space, MENDEZ leased
out the office space for P750,000 for two years to VASQUEZ Company. Lease
payments are due at the beginning of each year starting in 2023. Implicit interest
rate on the sublease is 10%. The sublease is properly classified as operating lease.

The relationships among the parties are graphically presented as follows:

Accounting by CUNANAN Company (the Lessor)


CUNANAN will classify and account for the head lease of its warehouse as either
finance lease (using the concepts in Chapter 10) or operating lease (using the
concepts in Chapter 10A). CUNANAN’s accounting will not be affected by the
sublease to VASQUEZ.
Accounting by VASQUEZ Company (the Sublessee)
VASQUEZ will account for the sublease, as a lessee, by recognizing ROU asset and
lease liability (using the concepts in Chapter 9). VASQUEZ’s accounting will not be
affected by the fact that this is just a sublease.
Accounting by MENDEZ Company (the Original Lessee/Intermediate Lessor) -
Initial Accounting for the Head Lease and the Sublease
The initial amounts of ROU asset and lease liability from the head lease as of
January 1, 2023 are computed as follows:

Since the sublease is classified as an operating lease, the ROU asset in the head
lease will not be derecognized and no net investment in the lease will be recognized.
Hence, there will be no gain or loss on sublease.

b. As to the sublease, there is no amortization table to be used since there is no


recognized net investment in the lease. Instead, rental income of P750,000 will
be recognized for each year for the next two years.
Net income for 2023 from the head lease and sublease is P50,994 (P750,000 rental
income - P210,041 interest expense - P488,965 depreciation expense).
SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS
A sale and leaseback transaction actually involves the following two events:
a. The sale of an asset by an entity (i.e., the seller) to another entity (i.e., the buyer)
b. The immediate leaseback of the sold asset by the seller (i.e., the lessee) from the
buyer (i.e., lessor).
The seller on the sale transaction will become the lessee on the leaseback
transaction, hence the seller-lessee designation. On the other hand, the buyer on
the sale transaction will become the lessor on the leaseback transaction, hence the
buyer-lessor designation.
These relationships are best depicted in the following graphical presentation:

Seller-lessee

ACCOUNTING FOR SALE AND LEASEBACK


Due to the inherent link between these two transactions, the accounting for the sale
is affected by the leaseback, and the accounting for leaseback is affected by the sale.
Specific accounting procedures will depend on whether the transfer of the asset,
from the seller-lessee to buyer-lessor, is considered as sale or not (i.e., whether
there is a transfer of control or not).

In making this assessment, the requirements on determining when a performance


obligation is satisfied under PFRS 15 are applied. These indicators are as follows:
the seller-lessee has a present right to payment for the asset;
ao op

the buyer-lessor has legal title to the asset;


the seller-lessee has transferred physical possession of the asset;
the buyer-lessor has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset;
and
e. the buyer-lessor has accepted the asset

ACCOUNTING IF THE TRANSFER AS SALE


OF THE ASSET IS CONSIDERED ~
SELLING PRICE IS EQUAL TO THE FAIR VALUE OF THE ASSET
In this scenario, accounting for the sale and leaseback is complicated, mainly
because of the complex computations involved.
Accounting in the Perspective of Seller-Lessee
The seller-lessee shall account for the sale and leaseback as follows:
a. First, compute for the lease liability arising from the leaseback by applying
general lessee accounting model (i.e., PV of lease payments discounted using
either implicit rate or incremental borrowing rate).
b. Compute for the ROU asset arising from the leaseback by applying this formula:
Carryingamt. , _ Computed lease liability
ROU Asset
of sold asset Fair value of sold asset

This is a deviation from the general rule that the initial amount of ROU asset is
based on the initial amount of lease liability.
c. Compute for the initial amount of gain or loss on sale using the following rules:
Scenario Difference will Result to
FV of asset > carrying amount of asset Gain on sale
FV of asset < carrying amount of asset Loss on sale

However, the amount of gain or loss on sale that will be actually recognized
by the seller-lessee shall be computed as follows:
Fair value of sold asset less
Recognized Initial Amount
x computed lease liability
GainorLoss = _ of Gain or Loss
Fair value of sold asset

The amount of recognized gain or loss on sale corresponds to the portion of the
rights transferred to the buyer-lessor. Recognized gain or loss can also be
computed as a balancing figure in the journal entry.
Alternatively, the following formula can also be used in computing for the
recognized gain or loss on sale:
Selling price less lease liability and loan payable, if any Pxx
Less: Carrying amount of asset less ROU asset recognized XX
Recognized gain (loss) on sale and leaseback PXxx
d. Derecognize the carrying amount of the transferred asset.

Accounting in the Perspective of Buyer-Lessor


The buyer-lessor shall account for the sale and leaseback as follows:
a. Recognize the transferred asset from seller-lessee equal to its fair value.
b. Classify the lease as either finance lease or operating lease.

1. If the lease is classified as finance lease, apply the concepts from Chapter 10
(derecognition of asset and recognition of net investment in the lease).
2. If the lease is classified as operating lease, apply the concepts from Chapter
10A (recognition of rental income over the lease term).
Illustration 3. On January 1, 2023, ANCHETA Company sold its land with carrying
amount of P2,400,000 for P3,000,000 (equal to its fair value) to VENTURA
Company. The sale transferred the control of the land to VENTURA. Subsequently,
ANCHETA leased back the land from VENTURA Company by paying annual lease
payments of P400,000 at the beginning of each year for the next five years.
Incremental borrowing rate of ANCHETA is 6%. The lease is properly classified as
operating lease in the perspective of VENTURA.
Accounting in the Perspective of ANCHETA Company (Seller-Lessee)
First, compute for the lease liability to be recognized as follows (using the
incremental borrowing rate of seller-lessee):
PV Factor of PV Factor Cash Flows Lease Liab.
Annuity due for 5 periods at 6% 4.465106 P400,000 P1,786,042

Next, compute the amount of ROU asset to be recognized:

ROU Asset = P2,400,000 x P1,428,834


P3,000,000

There is an initial amount of gain on sale of P600,000 (P3,000,000 less P2,400,000),


however the actual amount of gain on sale to be recognized is computed as follows:

Recognized P3,000,000 - P1,786,042


P600,000 P242,792
Gain on Sale P3,000,000
The entry to recognize the sale and leaseback transaction is as follows:
Cash 3,000,000
Right-of-use asset 1,428,834
Lease liability 1,786,042
Land 2,400,000
Gain on sale and leaseback (squeeze) 242,792

Alternatively, the recognized gain on sale and leaseback can also be determined as:
Selling price less lease liability (P3M - P1,786,042) P1,213,958
Less: CA of asset less ROU asset recognized (P2.4M - P1,428,834) __ (971,166)
Recognized gain on sale and leaseback P242,792

Accounting in the Perspective of VENTURA Company (Buyer-Lessor)


VENTURA Company will make the following journal entry to record the purchase
of the asset on January 1, 2023:

than the asset’s fair value).

Accounting in the Perspective of ANCHETA Company (Seller-Lessee)


In this case, the present value of lease payments computed in the original scenario
shall be used in computing for the total amount of lease liability:
PV of lease payments P1,786,042
Less: Excess of asset’s selling price over its fair value (financing) (300,000)

Next, compute the amount of ROU asset to be recognized in this scenario:
P1,486,042
ROU Asset = P2,400,000 x P3,000,000 P1,188,834

There is an initial amount of gain on sale of P600,000 (P3,000,000 FV less


P2,400,000, again ignoring the P3,300,000 selling price). However, the actual amount

Since the lease is considered as an operating lease, the Company will just recognize
rental income for the next five years. However, the annual rental income will
decrease to P332,812 since the P67,188 portion is considered as annual payment for
the loan receivable.
The amounts in the amortization of loan receivable are the same as the amortization
of loan payable albeit changing the interest expense amounts to interest income.

ACCOUNTING IF THE TRANSFER OF THE ASSET IS NOT CONSIDERED AS SALE


In cases that the transfer of the asset is not considered as sale (i.e., failed sale and
leaseback transaction), the transaction is recognized as a pure financing
transaction, regardless of the relationship of the selling price to the asset's
fair value. Accounting procedures in this case are much simpler.
The following accounting procedures are relevant for the seller-lessee:
a. Recognition ofa financial liability equal to the amount of proceeds received from
the buyer-lessor. This liability is to be accounted for under PFRS 9.
b. The “lease payments” made are applied as amortization of the financial liability.
c. No derecognition of the transferred asset and no recognition of ROU asset nor
gain or loss on sale.
The following accounting procedures are relevant for the buyer-lessor:
a. Recognition of a financial asset equal to the amount of paid to the seller-lessee.
This asset is to be accounted for under PFRS 9. No recognition of “purchased”
asset.
b. The “lease payments” received are applied as amortization of the financial asset.
c. No subsequent classification as either operating or finance lease.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. There is a sublease if the original lessee (intermediate lessor) leases out the
underlying asset to another lessee (the sublessee) while maintaining the original
lease.
2. The sublease will not affect the accounting by the original lessor nor it will affect the
accounting of the sublessee. Instead, accounting for subleases primarily affect the
books of the intermediate lessor.
3. Inthe intermediate lessor’s books, both the head lease and the sublease are recorded
and accounted.
4. Ifthe intermediate lessor applied the general lessee accounting for the head lease,
the sublease can be accounted as either finance or operating lease, depending on the
circumstances. In this case, the following accounting procedures are relevant:
Sublease classified as _ |. Sublease classified as

If the intermediate lessor applied the short-term lease exception, the sublease is
automatically considered as operating lease. Accounting procedures are the same as
in the operating lease column in the above table.
In a sale and leaseback transaction, the seller-lessee sells an asset and immediately
leases it back from the buyer-lessor.
The accounting for a sale and leaseback will depend whether the control over the
sold asset has been transferred from the seller-lessee to the buyer-lessor.
If there is a transfer of control, the following are the accounting procedures in
determining the amounts to be recorded in the books of the seller-lessee and buyer-
lessor as a result of the sale and leaseback (if selling price = fair value):

a. First, compute for the lease liability arising from the leaseback by applying
general lessee accounting model (i.e., PV of lease payments discounted using
either implicit rate or incremental borrowing rate).
b. Compute for the ROU asset arising from the leaseback by applying this formula:
Carryingamt. , _ Computed lease liability
ROU Asset =
of sold asset Fair value of sold asset
c. Compute for the initial amount of gain or loss on sale using the following rules:
Scenario. —_- Difference will Result to
FV of asset > carrying amount of asset Gain on sale
FV of asset < carrying amount of asset Loss on sale

However, the amount of gain or loss on sale that will be actually recognized by
the seller-lessee shall be computed as follows:
Fair value of sold asset less
Recognized Initial Amount
x ___ computed lease liability
GainorLoss =_ of Gainor Loss
Fair value of sold asset

d. Derecognize the carrying amount of the transferred asset.

9. The following procedures are relevant in case the selling price of the underlying
asset is not equal to its fair value:

CHAPTER 11: SELF-TEST EXERCISES

True or False
i There is a sublease if the original lessor terminated its existing lease with a lessee
and leased out the property to another lessee.
2. The sublessee shall not recognize ROU asset and lease liability since the underlying
asset is not really owned by the intermediate lessor.
Ss The original lessor’s accounting for the lease will not be affected by the sublease.
4. The intermediate lessor accounts for both the head lease and the sublease.
5 If the intermediate lessor accounted the head lease by recognizing ROU asset and
lease liability, the sublease is automatically accounted as operating lease.
If the sublease is accounted as finance lease, the carrying amount of the ROU asset
from the head lease shall be derecognized and a net investment in the lease shall be
recognized.
The seller in a sale and leaseback transaction will become lessor of the sold asset.
~

The amount of gain or loss to be recognized on sale and leaseback is equal to the
difference between the carrying amount of the asset sold and its related fair value.
If the fair value of the sold asset in the sale and leaseback transaction is lower than
the selling price, the amount of difference is considered as a financing from the
buyer-lessor.
10. The amount of ROU asset to be recognized from a sale and leaseback transaction is
not necessarily equal to the amount of the recognized lease liability.

CHAPTER 12
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS- PART 1
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The introductory concepts on employee benefits.
2. The classifications of employee benefits.
3. The accounting for short-term employee benefits.
4. Theaccounting for other long-term benefits.
5. The accounting for termination benefits.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
On their own, business and corporate entities cannot undertake operations without
the intellect and physical labor of a natural person (i.e., a human being). This need
is met by establishing a senior management team wherein they create short-term
to long-term strategies and steer the whole organization to a specific direction.
However, each member of this team cannot do all of the tasks under his/her
responsibility. For example, the chief marketing officer cannot do all the marketing
tasks.
Because of the aforementioned limitations, additional natural persons are hired to
whom the tasks that cannot be performed by the senior management are delegated.
Of course, these natural persons have mouth/s to feed and will not spend their time,
effort, energy, and life to work for an entity without corresponding compensation.
In this setup, the entity is considered as the “employer” and natural persons are
considered as the “employees”.
The specific amount of compensation may vary from employee to employee
depending on the specific function being performed and will also vary across each
employer. However, it has the following fundamental components:
a. Basic hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly pay
b. Additional benefits such as de minimis benefits, profit-sharing, additional
month/s of salary, pension benefits, etc. These benefits also include amounts
provided for the benefit of employee’s dependents and beneficiaries, such as
scholarships, insurance coverage, etc.

ACCOUNTING FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS


The accounting standard covering employee benefits is PAS 19 (or also known as
PAS19R), Employee Benefits. This standard is applied regardless of the classification
of employee whether full-time, part-time, casual or temporary basis. Employees
also include directors and other management personnel.

in exchange for service rendered by employees or for the termination of
employment. [PAS 19.8]. These benefits may be given directly to the employees or to
their spouses, children, dependents, or other entities (e.g. insurance entities for
health insurance premiums).

Under PAS 19, the accounting for an employee benefit will depend on its
classification, which can be one of the following [PAS 19.8):

Classification Description
Benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to
Short-term be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the
employee benefits | annual reporting period in which the employees render the
related service.
Benefits (other than termination benefits and short-term
ee see employee benefits) that are payable after the completion of
employment.
Termination Benefits provided in exchange for the termination of an
benefits employee's employment.
Otherlong-term | Benefits other than short-term employee _ benefits,
employee benefits | post-employment benefits, and termination benefits.

Post-employment benefits will be discussed in the next chapter due to its


complexity.

SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS


These benefits normally include the following amounts:
wages, Salaries, and social security contributions;
oe Be

paid annual leave and paid sick leave;


profit-sharing and bonuses; and
Pa

non-monetary benefits (such as medical care, housing, cars, and free or


subsidized goods or services) for current employees. [PAS 19.5].

These amounts are considered as such because of the corresponding reasons:


a. Under the labor code, wages, and salaries are required to be paid at least twice
a month (Art. 103, Chapter III, Title II of Labor Code of the Philippines).
b. Paid annual leave and paid sick leave are effectively paid at the same time when
wages and salaries are paid.
c. Profit-sharing and bonuses are normally paid within few months after the end
of the reporting period to which they are based. For example, bonuses for the
year 2023 will be paid either in March or April 2024 when the 2023 financial
statements have been finalized.
d. Non-monetary benefits are normally paid on a monthly basis.

ACCOUNTING FOR SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS


When an employee has rendered service to an entity during an accounting period,
the entity shall recognize the undiscounted amount of short-term employee
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service:
a. adebit to expense, unless another accounting standard requires or permits the
inclusion of the benefits in the cost of an asset.
For example, employee benefits given to employees involved in the
manufacturing of inventories or construction of an item of PPE will be
capitalized as part of cost inventories and PPE, respectively.

b. Asa liability (accrued expense) or as an asset (prepaid expense or advances to


employees), depending on the amount paid and the amount of benefits:
Scenario | Accounting Consequence
Amount paid > undiscounted amount of benefits Prepaid asset
Amount paid < undiscounted amount of benefits Accrued liability

Illustration 1. During the year 2023, SANTIAGO Company incurred short-term


employee benefits of P4,800,000 for office employees.
Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the
journal entry to record the transaction:
1. The Company paid P4,500,000
2. The Company paid P4,950,000
Answer - Scenario 1
The journal entry to record the transaction is as follows:
Employee benefit expense - short-term 4,800,000
Cash 4,500,000
Accrued liability (squeeze) 300,000

Answer - Scenario 2
The journal entry to record the transaction:
Employee benefit expense - short-term 4,800,000
Advances to employees (squeeze) 150,000
Cash 4,950,000
Generalizations - Scenarios 1 and 2
Generally, the amount of short-term employee benefits is recognized in profit or
loss, regardless of the amount of payments to employees. If these benefits are
incurred in connection with the manufacturing of inventories, the debit of
P4,800,000 would be to Inventories account. If the benefits are incurred in
connection with the construction of an item of PPE, the debit of P4,800,000 would
be to a PPE account (e.g., Building, Equipment, and Machinery accounts).

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS


Special accounting considerations will be discussed regarding the following short-
term employee benefits:
13t month pay
Profit-sharing plans
epaasp

Paid absences (vacation leaves and sick leaves)


Statutory contributions
Bonus plans

13™ MONTH PAY


This employee benefit is required to be paid to almost every employee not later
than every December 24 of each year (Presidential Decree No. 851). This is to
coincide with the increase in the consumption during the holiday season (i.e.,
during the last days of each year). Generally, this additional benefit is equal to one
month of basic pay (not including the amount of monthly additional benefits).
For example, an employee that receives a basic pay of P30,000 per month
(excluding additional compensation), will receive a total amount of P390,000
(P30,000 x 13 months) for one year, instead of just P360,000 (P30,000x 12 months).

DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF 1374 MONTH PAY


The exact amount of 13 month pay to be received will depend on how long an
employee is employed in the entity during the current year (i.e., pro-rated if
relevant). This can be summarized as follows (using calendar reporting year):
Scenarios Amount of 13" Month Pay

jllustration 2. An employee currently receives a monthly basic pay of P60,000 for


the current year 2023. Required: Under each of the following independent
scenarios, determine the amount of 13th month pay to be received by the employee:
1. The employee was hired last March 1, 2022.
2. The employee was hired last April 1, 2023.
3. The employee was hired last September 1, 2023.
Scenario 1 :
Since the employee is employed with the entity starting on January 1, 2023, the
amount of 13 month pay is equal to the whole amount of basic pay of P60,000.
Scenario 2
The employee is employed for nine months only (from April 1, 2023 to December 31,
2023). Consequently, the amount of 13 month pay for this employee is P45,000
(P60,000 x 9/12).
Scenario3
The employee is employed for four months only (from September 1, 2023 to
December 31, 2023). Consequently, the amount of 13 month pay for this employee
is P20,000 (P60,000 x 4/12).
Illustration 3 - Resignation. On October 1, 2023, an employee earning a monthly
basic salary of P90,000 resigned in search for better job opportunities. Required:
Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the amount of 13th
month pay to be received by the employee on the date of his or her resignation:
1. The employee was hired last March 1, 2020.
2. The employee was hired last May 1, 2023.
3. The employee was hired last July 1, 2023.

Scenario 1
For the current year, the employee is employed from January 1, 2023 to October 1,
2023 or for nine months. Consequently, the amount of 13" month pay is equal to
P67,500 (P90,000x 9/12).
Scenario 2
For the current year, the employee is employed from May 1, 2023 to October 1,
2023 or for five months. Consequently, the amount of 13 month pay is equal to
P37,500 (P90,000x 5/12).
Scenario 3
For the current year, the employee is employed from July 1, 2023 to October 1, 2023
or for three months. Consequently, the amount of 13 month pay is equal to
P22,500 (P90,000 x 3/12).

ACCOUNTING FOR 13™ MONTH PAY


The readers may have noted that as the period of employment for the current year
becomes longer, the amount of 13% month pay that an employee will receive increases.
In addition, the employees are also entitled to a proportional amount of 13th month
pay even if they resigned or quit during the current year.
Because of these, in practice, entities make a monthly accrual of 1/12 of the basic
pay of all of its employees who are still employed. This accrual is generally recorded
using the following pro-forma entry:
13% month pay expense XX
Accrued liability for 13‘ month pay XX
No additional issues will arise for entities using the calendar year reporting
(reporting date ending every December 31 of each year) as the 13" month pay will
be already paid by December 24 of each year. As a result, no accrued liability for
13% month pay will be recognized as of December 31.
However, for entities using the fiscal year reporting (reporting date is other than
December 31), amounts of accrued liability for 13 month pay shall be
recognized. The amount of accrued liability shall be based on the period from
January 1 until the fiscal reporting date.

Illustration 4. SORIANO Company’s accountant is unsure of how to account for the


13 month pay of one of its employees earning P120,000 basic pay each month.
This employee has been employed in the Company for the last five years. The
Company's policy is to pay 13 month pay every December 15 of each year.
Required: Under each of the following scenarios, determine the amount of accrued
liability for 13 month pay to be recognized for this particular employee as of each
of the indicated reporting date:
1, The Company’s reporting date is December 31, 2023
2. The Company's reporting date is March 31, 2024
3. The Company’s reporting date is June 30, 2024
Scenario 1
No accrued liability will be recognized as the 13% month pay for the year 2023 has
already been paid last December 15, 2023.
Scenario 2
Accrued liability for three months (January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024) shall be
recognized. This will amount to P30,000 (P120,000 x 3/12).
Scenario 3
Accrued liability for six months (January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024) shall be
recognized. This will amount to P60,000 (P120,000 x 6/12).

PAID ABSENCES
These benefits are given to employees to acknowledge that they are just human
beings that need some time-out for work without affecting the amount of their
benefits. The most common type of paid absences are the vacation leaves and the
sick leaves. However, the employer entity may grant other types of paid absences.
Paid vacation leaves are granted to promote the general well-being of employees,
especially their mental health. Paid sick leaves are granted because it is expected
that every employee will catch sickness during the year.
Paid absences can be classified into the following general types:
Accumulating _..Non-accumulating
These paid absences are carried forward | These are paid absences that cannot be
and can be used in future periods if the | carried forward, and they lapse if the
current period’s entitlement is not used in | current period’s entitlement is not
full. Accumulating paid absences can | used in fulland do not entitle employees

b. Non-vesting - employees are not | Most of the time, sick leaves, paternity
entitled to a cash payment for unused | °F maternity leaves, and study leaves
paid absences upon leaving the entity, | 4"¢ all non-accumulating
[PAS 19.15]
Most of the time, paid vacation leaves are
accumulating.

Illustration 5. MABEL, an accounting manager employed last January 1, 2023, is


receiving 12 days of paid vacation leaves each year. For the year 2023, she used 5
days of vacation leave. Required: Under each of the following independent
scenarios, determine the total number of vacation leaves available to MABEL for the
subsequent year, 2024:
a. The vacation leave is accumulating
b. The vacation leave is not accumulating
Scenario 1 - Accumulating
Since the vacation leave is accumulating, MABEL can carry over to 2024 her unused
7 days (12 days less 5 days) of paid vacation leave in 2023. For 2024, she is entitled
to a total of 19 days (12 days annual entitlement plus 7 days carried over from 2203)
of paid vacation leave. In addition, any unutilized paid vacation leaves during 2024,
out of these 19 days, can be carried further over to year 2025.

Scenario 2 - Not Accumulating


Since the vacation leave is non-accumulating, MABEL cannot carry over to 2024 her
unused 7 days of paid vacation leave in 2023. As a result, she is entitled to just 12
days of paid vacation leave in 2024 (equal to annual entitlement), In addition, any
unutilized paid vacation leaves for 2024 cannot be carried over in 2025.

ACCOUNTING FOR PAID ABSENCES


An entity shall recognize the expected cost of paid absences as follows:
a. in the case of accumulating paid absences, when the employees render
service that increases their entitlement to future paid absences (i.e., expense is
recognized whether the paid absences were used or not).
b. in the case of non-accumulating paid absences, when the absences occur (i.e.,
when the paid absences were used). [PAS 19.13].
An entity shall measure the expected cost of accumulating paid absences as the
additional amount that the entity expects to pay as a result of the unused
entitlement that has accumulated at the end of the reporting period. [PAS 19.16].
The following accounting procedures are relevant in accounting for each type of
paid absences:

Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the


amounts of (a) expense for 2023 and (b) accrued liability, if there is any, as of
December 31, 2023:
a. The paid vacation leaves are accumulating
b. The paid vacation leaves are non-accumulating
Scenario 1
The total amount of expense for 2023 shall be determined as follows:
Salary base [A] Utilized VLs[B] [A] x [B]
Employee A P1,000/day 5 days P5,000
Employee B 2,500/day 9 days 22,500
Employee C 3,000/day 4 days 12,000
Expense from used vacation leaves P39,500
Salary base[A] _ Unutilized VLs [B]
Employee A P1,100/day 10 days (15 - 5) 11,000
Employee B 2,7 50/ day 6 days (15 - 9) 16,500
Employee C 3,300/day 11 days (15 - 4) 36,300
Expense from unused vacation leaves P63,800
Total Expense (P39,500 + P63,800) P103,300

The amount of accrued liability as of December 31, 2023 is P63,800, which is


equal to the expense for unused vacation leaves. The readers should take note of
the following:
a. Expense arising from used vacation leaves is based on current salary rates.
b. Expense arising from unused vacation leaves is based on future salary rates.
Scenario 2
If the vacation leave is non-accumulating, the amount of expense to be recognized
is pertaining only to the paid absences that has been used or utilized. In this case,
the expense to be recognized is P39,500 (equal to the computed expense from
used vacation leaves in Scenario 1). There is no accrued liability to be recognized
as of December 31, 2023 for unused vacation leaves.
Illustration 7 - Vesting vs. Non-vesting. TOLENTINO Company’s employees have
a combined unutilized vacation leaves (accumulating) of 300 days as of December
31, 2023. The Company’s employees have an average salary of P2,000/day, and this
average is not expected to increase materially. There is a reasonable expectation
that some employees with a total 30 days of unutilized or unused paid vacation
leaves will resign early next year. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the amount of accrued liability to be recognized
as of December 31, 2023:
1. The vacation leaves are vesting
2. The vacation leaves are non-vesting

Scenario 1
Accrued liability to be recognized shall be P600,000 (300 daysx P2,000/day). The
number used was 300 days (i.e., without regard to resigning employees) since the
employees will receive this benefit whether they stay employed or resign.
Scenario 2
Accrued liability to be recognized shall be P540,000 (270 daysx P2,000/day). The
number used 270 days (300 days - 30 days) since the entity has no obligation to
pay in cash the 30 days of unutilized vacation leave credits when the
corresponding employees resign.
PROFIT-SHARING AND BONUS PLANS
This benefit to employees to boost their morale to feel that they can “share” in the
amount of the net income earned by their employers, instead of just receiving a
fixed amount of monthly salary. This benefit is also given to acknowledge the fact
that without the combined efforts of an entity’s employees, then it may have not
earned a certain amount of net income.
The amount of this benefit depends on what is indicated in the employment
contract and the succeeding guidelines released by the entity. However, this benefit
is most likely based on the following factors:
a. Performance appraisal of employees (i.e., how well the employee performed his
or her job during the year).
b. Turnover of employees (if the benefit requires an employee to be still employed)
c. Level of audited net income earned.
ACCOUNTING FOR PROFIT-SHARING AND BONUS PLANS
An entity shall recognize the expected cost of profit-sharing and bonus payments
when, and only when:
a. theentityhasa present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments
as a result of past events; and
b. areliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
A present obligation exists when, and only when, the entity has no realistic
alternative but to make the payments. [PAS 19.19].
There is a legal obligation if the payment of profit-sharing to employees is included
in the employment contract or agreement with the employee’s labor union. There
is a constructive obligation if, for example, the entity does not promise to pay
profit-sharing, but it had a past practice of paying discretionary profit-sharing
amounts.
The amounts of benefit from profit-sharing and bonus plans are recognized as
accrued liability as of the reporting date since they are normally paid after the
finalization of the entity’s financial statements, normally March or April of the
succeeding year.

There is a corresponding amount of expense since the transaction is not with


owners of the entity but rather a transaction with employees.
Illustration 8, DIAZ Company has a published profit-sharing plan to its employees
containing the following provisions:
a. If the net income is at least P20,000,000, total profit-sharing to all employees is
5% of net income.
b. If the net income is at least P30,000,000, total profit-sharing to all employees is
7% of net income.
No employees are expected to leave before receiving the profit-sharing amounts.
Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the
amount of profit-sharing to be accrued as of December 31, 2023:
1. Net income is P23,000,000
2. Netincome is P32,000,000
Scenario 1
The amount of accrued liability for profit-sharing to be recognized is P1,150,000
(P23,000,000 x 5%) since the amount of net income is more than P20,000,000 but
less than P30,000,000.
Scenario 2
The amount of accrued liability for profit-sharing to be recognized is P2,240,000
(P32,000,000x 7%) since the amount of net income is more than P30,000,000.

DIFFERENT BASES OF BONUS


The previous illustration showed the fundamental computation of bonus amount. ©
However, the bonus amounts to be paid may also be based after considering the
bonus itself and/or the amount of income tax. As such, the following are the possible
scenarios of bonus computations:
1. Bonus is based on net income before bonus and income tax
2. Bonus is based on net income after bonus but before income tax
3. Bonus is based on net income before bonus but after income tax
4. Bonus is based on net income after bonus and income tax.

Scenarios 1 and 2 above are much easier to compute relative to scenarios 3 and 4.
The following are the relevant formulas in determining the amount of bonus for
each scenario:

Where:

NI = Net Income T% = Income tax rate
It should be noted that the algebraic concepts will be applied in solving the amount
of bonus under scenarios 3 and 4. In addition, the expression [T% x (NI - B)] in some
of the above formulas pertains to the amount of income tax.

Illustration 9. During the year 2023, COSMOS Company reported P5,250,000 net
income before income tax of 25%. As an incentive, the Company pays 5% bonus to
its management team.

Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the


amount of bonus to be paid to the management team:
1. Bonus is based on net income before bonus and income tax
2. Bonus is based on net income after bonus but before income tax
3. Bonus is based on net income before bonus but after income tax
4. Bonus is based on net income after bonus and income tax.

Scenario 1 - Before bonus and income tax


This scenario is the easiest among the different bases of bonus computation. In this
case, the bonus to be computed is P262,500 (P5,250,000 x 5%).
Scenario 2 - After bonus but before income tax
In this case, computation of the bonus is as follows:
B = [NI/(1+B%)]
x B%
B = [5,250,000/(1+5%)]x5%
B = [5,250,000/1.05] x 5%
B = [5,000,000] x 5%
B = P250,000

The following is the proof of the above computations:


Net income before bonus and income tax P5,250,000
Less: Amount of bonus (since after bonus) (250,000)
Net income after bonus but before income tax P5,000,000
Multiply by: Bonus rate 5%
Amount of bonus P250,000

Scenario 3 - Before bonus but after income tax


In this case, computation of the bonus is as follows:

Net income before bonus but after income tax P3,987,342
Multiply by: Bonus rate 5%
Amount of bonus P199,367

Scenario 4 - After bonus and income tax


In this case, computation of the bonus is as follows:
B = B%x{[NI-B] -[T% x (NI - B)]}
B = 5% x {[5,250,000 - B] - [25% x (5,250,000 - B)]}
B = 5%x {5,250,000 - B] - [1,312,500 - 0.25B]}
B = 5% x {5,250,000 - B - 1,312,500 + 0.25B}
B = 5% x {3,937,500 - 0.75B}
B = 196,875 - 0.0375B
B +0.0375B = 196,875
1.0375B = 196,875
1.0375 1.0375
B = P189,759

The following is the proof of the above computations:


Net income before bonus and income tax P5,250,000
Less: Bonus (189,759)
Less: Amount of tax [(P5,250,000 - P189,759) x 25%] (1,265,060)

and Home Development Mutual Fund (or HDMF). The amounts of the contributions
are determined using tables, which are already out of scope of this chapter.
In each of these contributions, a certain portion shall be deducted from employees’
gross pay (i.e., the employee share) to arrive at the amount of net pay while the
other portion is shouldered by the employer as its out-of-pocket costs (i.e.,
employer share). However, the employer is required to remit both the employee and
employer shares to the relevant government agencies.
Consequently, the following are the relevant accounting procedures:

contributions contributions

In addition to the statutory contributions, the employer is also required to withhold


the tax on its employees’ compensation income. As such, the whole amount of
withholding tax will decrease the employee's net pay (i.e., pure employee share and
no employer share). Consequently, the amount of withholding tax is accounted in a
similar manner as the employee’s share in statutory contributions.

To summarize, the following is the computation of employees’ net take home pay:
Gross compensation or gross pay (basic pay plus allowances) Pxx
Less: Employee's share in statutory contributions (xx)
Withholding tax on compensation (xx)
Net pay Pxx

Illustration 10. During the month of December 2023, CANOPY Company had the
following financial information related to the compensation of all of its employees:
Total gross pay P6,000,000

Required: From the given information, determine the amount of total net pay and
journal entries to record the transactions.
The amount of total net pay shall be determined as follows:
Gross compensation or gross pay P6,000,000
Less: Employee's share in statutory contributions
(P400,000 + P500,000 + P100,000) (1,000,000)
Withholding tax on compensation (1,400,000)
Net pay P3,600,000

The readers should take note that only the employees’ share in the statutory
contributions will decrease the amount of the net pay. The journal entry to record the
payment to employees and the withholding of employee share in statutory
contributions and tax on compensation is as follows:

Compensation expense 6,000,000

contributions (i.e., employer share) is as follows:
Philhealth contributions expense 600,000
SSS contributions expense 550,000
HDMF contributions expense 200,000
Philhealth contributions payable 600,000
SSS contributions payable 550,000

OTHER LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
This category covers all other benefits that are not classified as either short-term,
post-employment, or termination benefits. These benefits are expected to be settled
beyond twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the
employees render the related service. As such, these are subject to present value
‘calculations. These benefits include, but are not limited to, the following long-term
employee benefits:
a. long-term paid absences such as long-service or sabbatical leave;
b. jubilee or other long-service benefits;
c. long-term disability benefits;
d. profit-sharing and bonuses (long-term); and
e. deferred remuneration.
Other long-term employee benefits are not usually subject to the same degree of
uncertainty as the measurement of post-employment benefits. As such, PAS 19
requires much simpler accounting for other long-term employee benefits where all
amounts are recognized in profit or loss (except when these are allowed to be
included in the carrying amount of an asset).

OTHER LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS - LONG-TERM DISABILITY BENEFIT


One of the specific types of other long-term benefits that was mentioned is PAS 19R,
which is the long-term disability benefit where benefits are given to employees
when they became disabled. This is usually applicable to industrial workplace
where debilitating accidents can happen to employees.
The recognition of obligation for this employee benefit will depend on the following
scenarios:
1. If the level of benefit depends on the length of service (i.e., the longer the
employee service, the higher the benefit), an obligation arises when the service
is rendered.
The amount of the obligation reflects the probability that payment will be
required and the length of time for which payment is expected to be made.

2. Ifthe level of benefit is the same, regardless of the years of service, the expected
cost of this benefit is recognized when an event resulting to rong -term disability
occurs.

TERMINATION BENEFITS
Termination benefits result from either of the following:
a. an entity's decision to terminate the employment (ie, lay-off of employees); or
396

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders

CamScanner
Chapter 12 —- Employee Benefits - Part 1

b. an employee's decision to accept an entity’s offer of benefits in exchange for the


termination of employment. /PAS 19.159].
Termination benefits are typically lump sum payments but sometimes also include:
a. enhancement of post-employment benefits, either indirectly through an
employee benefit plan or directly,
b. salary until the end of a specified notice period if the employee renders no
further service that provides economic benefits to the entity. [PAS 19.161].
The event that gives rise to an obligation for termination benefits is the employee

Indicators that an employee benefit is provided in exchange for services (which will
not be classified as termination benefits) include the following:
a. the benefit is conditional on future service being provided (including benefits that
increase if further service is provided).
b. the benefit is provided in accordance with the terms of an employee benefit plan.
Termination benefits also exclude employee benefits resulting from termination of
employment at the request of the employee without an entity’s offer (ie.,
resignation) or as a result of mandatory retirement requirements.
However, the difference between the benefit provided for termination of
employment at the request of the employee and a higher benefit provided at the
request of the entity is a termination benefit.

Illustration 11. During the year 2023, FOSSIL Company paid the following amounts
to its employees:
1. Payments to employees who were laid off amounted to P800,000.
2. Payments to employees who accepted the Company’s offer of termination
benefits amounted to P1,200,000.
3. Payments to employees who resigned without the Company’s offer amounted to
P500,000.
4. Payments to retiring employees amounted to P600,000.

Required: Determine the total amount of termination benefits.

The amounts paid to employees are classified as follows:


Termination Not Termination
Benefits Benefits
1 P800,000
2 1,200,000
3 P500,000
4 600,000

Payment 3 is not classified as termination benefits since the Company has not made
any offer to the employee while Payment 4 is considered as post-employment
benefit, a separate category of employee benefits.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF TERMINATION BENEFITS


An entity shall recognize both a liability and expense for termination benefits at the
earlier of the following dates:
a. when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and
b. when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of
PAS 37 (see Chapter 3) and involves the payment of termination benefits.

If the termination benefits arise from the employee's decision to accept an entity’s
offer, the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of termination benefits at earlier
of the following:
a. when the employee accepts the offer; and
b. when a restriction (e.g., a legal, regulatory or contractual requirement or other
restriction) on the entity's ability to withdraw the offer takes effect.
If termination benefits arise from the entity’s decision to terminate an employee’s
employment, the entity can no longer withdraw the offer that it has communicated
to the affected employees if all of the following criteria have been met:
a. Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant
changes to the plan will be made.
b. The plan identifies the number of employees whose employment is to be
terminated, their job classifications or functions and their locations, and the
expected completion date.
c. The plan establishes the termination benefits that employees will receive in
sufficient detail that employees can determine the type and amount of benefits
they will receive when their employment is terminated.
Termination benefits are measured in accordance with the following concepts:
Termination benefits are expected to | Termination benefits are expected to
be settled wholly within 12 months be settled wholly beyond 12 months
after the current reporting date after the current reporting date
Apply the concepts of short-term | Apply the concepts of other long-term
employee benefits (i.e., not discounted) employee benefits (i.e., discounted)

Illustration 12 - Closure. Near the end of the year 2023, SAMSON Company
announced the closure of one of its factories effective on March 31, 2024. The
Company offered an immediate payment of P80,000 per employee to those who will
immediately leave the Company. Of the Company's total of 200 employees, 50 are
expected to leave immediately. The employees who will remain until the date of
closure will receive a total of P170,000 each on March 31, 2024. Required: From

this information, determine the amount of termination benefits to be recognized


during the year 2023.

The amount of termination benefits is equal to P16,000,000 (200 x P80,000). The


reason for this is that the Company will give P80,000 to each of its 200 employees
whether they immediately leave or render additional service to the Company.
The excess of P90,000 (P170,000 - P80,000) for each of the remaining 150
employees or a total of P13,500,000 (P90,000 x 150) are recognized as short-term
employee benefits over the three-month period from January 1, 2024 to March 31,
2024. The reason is that these amounts are paid to employees in exchange for their
services during the said three-month period.

employee benefits | annual reporting period in which the employees render the
related service.
Benefits (other than termination benefits and short-term

7. Accumulating paid absences can either be vesting (where employees are entitled to
a cash payment for unused absences) or non-vesting (where employees are not
entitled to a cash payment for unused absences).

employees who rendered less than one year of service to the entity.
9. Bonuses can be computed in different ways: before bonus and tax, after bonus but
before tax, before bonus but after tax, or after bonus and tax.
10. Bonuses are recognized at the time the entity has the legal or constructive obligation

net take home pay of the employee. These amounts are already part of compensation
expense.
12. Employer's share in the statutory contributions is recorded as additional expenses.
These amounts do not affect the net take home pay of the employee.
13.0ther long-term benefits are the catch-all category of employee benefits. No

CHAPTER 12A
POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The minimum amount of post-employment benefits.
2. The different types of post-employment benefit plans and their characteristics.
3. The accounting for defined contribution plan.
4. The accounting for defined benefit plan, including the amounts to be reported
in the statement of financial position, income statement, and other
comprehensive income.

POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
These benefits are given to employees after their employment with an entity has
been completed (other than short-term benefits and termination benefits). In
practice, this is normally given to retiring employees from ages 50 years old (early
retirement age) to 65 years old (mandatory retirement age), depending on the
entity’s retirement plan. These benefits are given to retiring employees in a lump-
sum basis or in a periodical basis.
So, why continue giving benefits to the retired employees even if they are not
working for the entity anymore?
It is because they have devoted their time, effort, loyalty, life, and aspirations to the
entity, and it is imperative for the entity to support them in their old age where they
cannot work further and earn money for themselves.
MINIMUM AMOUNT OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Retirement plan provided by an employer entity varies from other employer
entities, depending on what is the agreed level of benefits with the employees.
However, minimum amount of retirement benefit is defined in Republic Act No.
7641, amending the Article 287 of the Labor Code of the Philippines.
The minimum amount is one-half (1/2) month salary for every year of service,
with a fraction of at least 6 months being considered as one whole year. One-half
month salary includes the following amounts:
a. 15 days salary based on salary rate at the time of retirement;
b. Cash equivalent of not more than 5 days of service incentive leaves; and
c. 1/12 of 13 month pay. This is equivalent to 2.5 days (30 days times 1/12).

In other words, one-half month salary is equivalent to 22.5 days of compensation


(15 days + 5 days + 2.5 days). Retirement benefits to be given shall not go below one-
half month salary x number of year of service to the last employer.

This amount shall be given to a retiring employee meeting the following


requirements:
a. Age ofat least 60 years old at the time of retirement; and
b. Atleast 5 years of service to the employer in which the employee retires from.
Illustration 1. A 62-year-old employee retired from his last employer when his
daily salary is P5,000/day. He was employed for the last 42 years, of which 10 years
were with his last employer. From this information, the minimum amount of
retirement benefits that this employee should receive shall be determined as:
Daily salary P5,000
Multiply by: No. of days 22.90 days
One-half month salary P112,500
Multiply by: No. of years in service in the last employer 10 years
Minimum amount of total retirement benefits P1,125,000
DIFFERENT TYPES OF POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT (RETIREMENT) PLANS
Post-employment benefit plans are formal or informal arrangements under which
an entity provides post-employment benefits for one or more employees. [PAS
19.8]. For accounting purposes, these plans are classified as follows:
1. Defined contribution plan
2. Defined benefit plan
Their major differences are compared as follows:

Defined Contribution Plan Defined Benefit Plan

separate entity (a fund) and no determined) benefits to

Actuarial risk is the risk that the amounts of retirement benefits are less than
anticipated. Investment risk is the risk that the amount of contributions and
returns are not sufficient to pay the expected benefits.

Chapter 12A — Post-Employment Benefits

Defined benefit plans are more common in practice primarily due to the minimum
amount of retirement benefits required by Republic Act No. 7641.
Examples of cases where an entity’s obligation is not limited to the amount that
it agrees to contribute to the fund are when the entity has a legal or constructive
obligation through:
a. a plan benefit formula that is not linked solely to the amount of contributions
and requires the entity to provide further contributions if assets are insufficient
to meet the benefits in the plan benefit formula;
b. a guarantee, either indirectly through a plan or directly, of a specified return on
contributions; or
c. those informal practices that give rise to a constructive obligation. [PAS 19.29].

By considering these examples, a retirement plan may be assessed to be as defined


benefit plan for accounting purposes, even if it is legal form is a defined
contribution plan (i.e., accounting substance over legal form).

ACCOUNTING FOR DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS


Accounting for this kind of retirement plan is simple and relatively straightforward
since the liability of an entity is limited to the amounts of its required
contributions.
When an employee has rendered service to an entity during a period, the entity
shall recognize the contribution payable to a defined contribution plan in exchange
for that service:
a. a debit to expense, unless another accounting standard requires or permits the
inclusion of the benefits in the cost of an asset.

For example, employee benefits given to employees involved in the


manufacturing of inventories or construction of an item of PPE will be
capitalized as part of cost of the inventories and PPE, respectively.
b. asa liability (accrued expense) or as an asset (prepaid expense or advances to
employees), depending on the amounts of incurred benefit and benefits paid:
Scenario 255 Accounting Consequence
Amount paid > undiscounted amount of benefits Prepaid asset
Amount paid < undiscounted amount of benefits Accrued liability

Unless the amount is to be paid after 12 months, the entity shall measure the
required contributions on an undiscounted basis.

Illustration 2, MORALES Company maintains a defined contribution plan for its


office workers that requires the Company to pay 5% of its net income before tax,
due on December 31 of each year. For the year 2023, the Company reported
P24,000,000 net income before tax.

Required: Under each of the following scenarios, determine the single journal entry
to record the payment of the required contribution:
1. The Company paid P1,000,000
2. The Company paid P1,350,000
Scenario 1
The journal entry to record the transaction is:
Retirement expense (P24M x 5%) 1,200,000
Cash 1,000,000
Accrued liability - retirement 200,000
Scenario 2
The journal entry to record the transaction is:
Retirement expense (P24M x 5%) 1,200,000
Prepaid expense — retirement 150,000
Cash 1,350,000
Generalizations - Both Scenarios
The amount recognized as the defined contribution expense (P1,200,000) is not
affected by the amount of actual contributions. In addition, the amounts are not
discounted since these are paid on or shortly after December 31 of each year.
ACCOUNTING FOR DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
Accounting for this kind of retirement plan is somewhat complicated since the
actuarial and investment risks are both assumed by the entity. In addition, in actual
practice, almost all employer entities maintain a separate retirement fund (i.e., plan
assets from which the benefits are paid from). If there is a corresponding retirement
fund, then the defined benefit obligation is said to be “funded”.
Accounting for defined benefit plans also means accounting for the following:
1. Defined benefit obligation (or projected benefit obligation) - this is the
present value of the estimate of the entity's retirement obligation in the future.
This is connected to actuarial risk.
2. Retirement fund or plan assets -fund to which contributions are made to earn
returns that can be used to reduce the amount of retirement costs and from
which the retirement benefits are paid. This is connected to investment risk.
ACCOUNTING FOR DEFINED BENEFIT OBLIGATION
The accounting for defined benefit obligation has the following characteristics:
a. An entity shall make actuarial assumptions and estimates related to the amount
of obligation it has regarding the retirement benefits (i.e, retirement obligation).
b. The computations are primarily discounted in nature as the amounts are
expected to be settled far into the future.
c. Since the computations utilize actuarial assumptions, these assumptions might
change in the future, which results to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses.
412

Chapter 12A - Post-Employment Benefits

To be able to compute the present value of defined benefit obligation, an entity shall
follow these procedures as the “three-step approach”:
a. Apply actuarial valuation method
b. Attribute benefit to periods of service
c. Make actuarial assumptions
Actuarial Valuation Method
An entity shall use the projected unit credit method in determining the present
value ofits defined benefit obligation and other amounts that will be discussed later
on. This method is also known as “accrued method pro-rated on service” or
“benefit/years of service method”. [PAS 19.68].
This method sees each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit
entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. [PAS
19.68].
Attribute the Benefit to Periods of Service
In determining the present value of its defined benefit obligations and the related
amounts to be discussed later on, an entity shall allocate the benefit to periods of
service under the plan’s formula.
For example, an entity grants P50,000 retirement benefit for every year of service,
from the time of employment up to expected retirement date of an employee. Based
on this plan, an entity attributes P50,000 for every year of service of the employee.
The present value of P50,000 will increase the amount of defined benefit obligation
each year as the employee renders additional one year of service.
Making Actuarial Assumptions
These are the entity’s best estimates of the variables that will determine the
ultimate cost of providing post-employment benefits. These assumptions include
the following [PAS 19.76]:
- Demographic assumptions- _. Financial assumptions —_
Include, but are not limited to, the | Include, but not limited to, the following:
following: mortality, employee turnover, | discount rate, benefit levels, future
disability, early retirement, and claim | salary, future benefit costs, and claim
rates under medical plans (ie, | handling costs (i.e, financial inputs)
nonfinancial inputs)

Actuarial assumptions shall be unbiased and mutually compatible. [PAS 19.75].


On the other hand, the discount rate used in discounting the retirement benefits
shall be determined by the following hierarchy:
a. First, reference to the market yields of high-quality corporate bonds as at the
end of reporting period.
b. Otherwise, reference to the market yields on government bonds as at the end
of the reporting period.

Resulting Amounts After Applying the Three-Step Approach


The following amounts are the results from the estimation of defined benef
obligation using the “three-step approach”:
Amounts Description © pie Set i q
.
a. Current service cost - the increase in the present value of the defingy-
benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the ‘veh
period.
b. Past service cost - is the change in the present value of the define
benefit obligation for employee service in prior periods resulting from
a plan amendment or a curtailment. This excludes the changes in
actuarial assumptions.
Plan amendment is the introduction or withdrawal of, or changes to
a defined benefit plan. Plan curtailment is the significant reduction
by the entity in the number of employees covered by a plan.
Service
costs Both current service cost and past service cost are measured on a
discounted basis. ,
c.any gain or loss on settlement. [PAS 19.8]. Settlement can be
considered as immediate and/or premature payment of retirement
benefits. Loss is added to the amount of retirement cost, while gain is
deducted from retirement cost. fib
Gain or loss on settlement is determined using the following rules:
Scenario Result
Settlement price > present value of settled benefit Loss
Settlement price < present value of settled benefit Gain
Interest expense is the change during the period in the net defined
benefit liability (asset) that arises from the passage of time. [PAS 19.8].
This is recognized since the current service and past service costs are
Interest measured on a discounted basis (i.e., unwinding of discount).
expense The interest rate used in computing the amount of interest expense is
the discount rate at the beginning of the current annual reporting
period. This is similar to the discount rate determined at the end of the
previous annual reporting period. My

Actuarial gains and losses are changes in the present value of the
defined benefit obligation-resulting from:
a. experience adjustments (the effects of differences between the
Actuarial previous actuarial assumptions and what has actually occurred)
gains and b. the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions. [PAS 19.8].
losses
The existence of actuarial gain or loss is determined as follows:
a. Loss -if the change/s resulted to an increase in liability.
b. Gain - ifthe change/s resulted to a decrease in liability.

of one month salary for every year of employment, using the monthly salary at the
time of retirement. It is expected that she will be retiring at the age of 60 years old
on January 1, 2028 and that her monthly salary will be at P9,000 per month at that
time. Relevant discount rate is 7%. Required: From this information, determine the
amounts of current service cost, interest expense, and defined benefit obligation for
each year from 2023 to 2027.
Identification of Actuarial Assumptions
Before directly answering the requirements of the problem, it is interesting to note
the following actuarial assumptions contained in the problem:
a. Demographic assumption- the estimated retirement at the age of 60 years old
b. Financial assumptions- future salary of P9,000 and discount rate of 7%. The
discount rate in this problem was assumed to be fixed, but in actual practice, this
is subject to changes.
Computations:
1, First, attribute the amount of benefits to the period from which they arise:
2023 2024 2025 2026 $2027
Attributedamount P9,000 P9,000 P9,000 P9,000 P9,000

Based on the previous table, BELINDA will be entitled to P9,000 retirement


benefitfor every year
of service. If she will continue her service up to her expected
retirement date after 5 years, she will be entitled to P45,000 (P9,000 x 5 years)
retirement benefit. The P8,000 current salary is not relevant in this case.

On the other hand, if BELINDA works for only four years, she will be entitled to
retirement benefit of just P36,000 (P9,000 x 4 years of service).

2. Next, compute for the amount of present value of the attributed benefits for each
year. The starting date for the number of periods computation to be used in
present value calculation is every December 31 of each year until January 1,
2028.
December 31 2023 2024 2025 2026 #$£=‘2027

2023 to January 1, 2028, There are three (3) periods used in 2024 since it is
three years from December 31, 2024 to January 1, 2028 and so on.
The computations of present value of attributed benefit or the amount of current
service cost for each year are the following:

2025 Single payment for 2 periods at 7% 0.873439 9,000 P7,861
2026 Single payment for 1 period at 7% 0.934579 9,000 P8411

No present value calculations are necessary for the year 2027.


3. Next, compute for the amounts of interest expense and ending balance of defined
benefit obligation for each year. These amounts can be computed as follows:
2023 2024 2025 2026 2027
Beg. defined benefit obligation P- P6866 P14,694 P23,584 P33,646
Add: Interest expense ms 481 1,029 1,651 2,354
Current service cost 6,866 7,347 7,861 8,411 9,000
End. defined benefit obligation P6,866 P14,694 P23,584 P33,646 P45,000

The interest expense per year is computed as the beginning defined benefit
obligation multiplied by the 7% discount rate (e.g., P481 = P6,866x 7%). Current
service costs are those determined in Step 2. The ending balance of defined
benefit obligation last year is the beginning balance for the current year.

It should be noted that the previous present value calculations are different
from the usual way of computing present values because every year of
BELINDA’s service, additional amounts of current service cost are added to the
present value of the obligation.

DEFINED BENEFIT OBLIGATION - ENTITY LEVEL BASIS


Illustration 4. As of December 31, 2022, the actuarial valuation report of
MERCADO Company reported a balance of P3,400,000 in its defined benefit
obligation. This amount is computed using the discount rate of 8%. During the year
2023, current service cost and past service cost amounted to P600,000 and
P110,000, respectively. Actuarial losses due to a decrease in employee turnover
amounted to P450,000 while actuarial gains from the increase in discount rate to
9% as of December 31, 2023 amounted to P270,000. Also, during 2023, payments
to retirees amounted to P850,000. Lastly, the Company settled a retirement
obligation with present value of P320,000 by paying the concerned employee
P350,000 cash. Required: From the given information, determine the following:
1. Defined benefit obligation as of December 31, 2023
2. Retirement cost to be recognized in 2023 profit or loss
3. Retirement cost to be recognized in 2023 other comprehensive income

Answer:
1. Defined benefit obligation as of December 31, 2023 is computed as follows:
Defined benefit obligation, 1/1/23 P3,400,000
Add; Interest expense (P3,400,000 x 8%) 272,000
Current service cost 600,000
Past service cost 110,000
Actuarial losses 450,000
Less: Paid benefits to retirees (850,000)
Settled benefits (at present value) (320,000)
Actuarial gains (270,000)
Defined benefit obligation, 12/31/23 P3,392,000

The readers should take note that the rate used (i.e, 8%) is as of the beginning
of 2023 and not the 9% as of December 31, 2023. The 9% rate will be used in
computing the interest expense for the year 2024.

In addition, the amount deducted from defined benefit obligation on account of


settled benefits is equal to its present value of P320,000, rather than the
P350,000 amount of settlement.
2. The amount of retirement cost to be recognized in 2023 profit or loss is
computed as follows:
Interest expense P272,000
Current service cost 600,000
Past service cost 110,000
Loss on settlement (P350,000 - P320,000) 30,000
Total amount recognized in 2023 profitorloss P1,012,000
There is a loss on settlement since the amount paid (i.e., P350,000) is higher than
the present value of settled retirement obligation (i.e., P320,000).

3. The amount of retirement cost to be recognized in other comprehensive income


(OCI) is computed as follows:
Actuarial losses P450,000
Less: Actuarial gains (270,000)
Net retirement cost to be recognized in OCI P180,000
Net amount of retirement cost to be recognized in total comprehensive income
is P1,192,000 (P1,012,000 + P180,000).

-ACCOUNTING FOR PLAN ASSETS


Plan assets are assets that:
a. are held by an entity (a fund) that is legally separate from the reporting entity
and exists solely to pay or fund employee benefits; and
418

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule 8) CamScanner
Chapter 12A - Post-Employment Benefits

b. are available to be used only to pay or fund employee benefits, are not available to
the reporting entity’s own creditors (even in bankruptcy), and cannot be returned
to the reporting entity, unless either:
i. the remaining assets of the fund are sufficient to meet all the related
employee benefit obligations of the plan or the reporting entity; or
ii, the assets are returned to the reporting entity to reimburse it for employee
benefits already paid. [PAS 19.8].
The plan assets are measured equal at their fair value and reduced by liabilities
that are unrelated to employee benefits (i.e., the net asset value of the fund).
Examples of these liabilities include the trade payables, derivative liabilities, unpaid
fund management fees, and income tax payable of the fund. [PAS 19.114].
The composition of plan assets does not include the following:
a. Unpaid contributions due from the reporting entity.
b. Any non-transferable financial instruments issued by the entity and held by the
fund. [PAS 19.114].

Query: What are the reasons for establishing a separate fund from which
retirement benefits will be paid?
Answer: The primary reason is the reduction in the retirement costs because the
returns earned by the fund can be used as payments to the retirees. In addition,
certain amounts have already been segregated for the payment of retirement
benefits, regardless of the financial performance of the reporting entity.
TRANSACTIONS AND AMOUNTS AFFECTING PLAN ASSETS
The following affect the balance of plan assets:
1. Contributions of the entity - the entity's additional funding to the plan assets.
When the balance in the fund is used to acquire investments, the amount of
plan assets is not affected (i.e., similar to accounting for bond sinking funds).
Payments to retirees
wn

Settlement price paid for the immediately or prematurely settled retirement


benefits (not the present value of retirement obligation settled)
4. Actual return (loss) on plan assets - amounts earned by the fund from dividends,
interest, net unrealized and realized gains, reduced by related plan assets’
expenses. Actual return has increasing effect while actual loss has
decreasing effect on the balance of plan assets.
5. Withdrawals from the plan assets (very rare).
The accounting for actual return on plan assets is a little bit complicated so a
separate section will discuss the related concepts.
These transactions and amounts have the following effects in determining the
ending balance of plan assets:

ACCOUNTING FOR ACTUAL RETURNS


Reporting-wise, the amount of actual returns (loss) is split into the following:
a. Interest income, which is reported as deduction from interest expense in
defined benefit obligation in profit or loss; and
b. Remeasurement gain or loss, which is reported in other comprehensive
income, together with actuarial gains and losses from defined benefit liability.
The amount of remeasurement gain or loss depends on the difference between the
amount of actual returns and the amount of computed interest income.
COMPUTATION OF INTEREST INCOME AND REMEASUREMENT GAIN OR LOSS
The amount of interest income is generally computed as follows:
|___Interest Income = Beg. Bal. of Plan Assets x Discount Rate _|
The discount rate is the same interest rate used to compute the interest
expense from defined benefit obligation (i.e., determined at the beginning of the
current annual period).
From the given amount of actual return and computed amount of interest income,
the gain or loss on remeasurement is determined by applying the following rules:
Scenarios Remeasurement Gain or Loss? ©
Actual return is positive (or income):
Actual return > interest income Gain
Actual return < interest income Loss
Actual return is negative (or loss): Always loss equal to the amount of
Actual return > interest income actual loss plus the amount of
Actual return < interest income interest income

Illustration 5, At the beginning of 2023, AGUILAR Company reported a beginning


balance in its plan assets amounting to P5,600,000. The relevant discount rate used
to compute the present value of defined benefit obligation as of January 1, 2023 is
6%. The relevant discount rate used to compute the present value of defined benefit
obligation as of December 31, 2023 is 7%. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the amounts of interest income and
remeasurement gain or loss:
1. Actual return is P500,000
420

The

Chapter 12A — Post-Employment Benefits

2. Actual return is P200,000


3. Actual loss is P100,000
Answer - Interest Income (All Scenarios)
The interest income is computed as P336,000 (P5,600,000x 6%). The interest rate
used is as of the beginning of 2023 (i.e.,6%) and not as of the end of 2023 (i.e., 7%).
Nevertheless, this 7% will be used in computing for the amount of interest income
for 2024.
Answer - Remeasurement Gain or Loss
Applying the previously mentioned rules, remeasurement gain or loss is computed
in each scenario as follows:
Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3
Actual return (loss) P500,000 P200,000 (P100,000)
Less: Interest income (336,000) (336,000) (336,000)
Remeasurement gain (loss) P164,000 (P136,000) (P436,000)

EFFECTS OF CONTRIBUTIONS AND PAYMENTS FROM THE PLAN ASSETS IN


INTEREST INCOME COMPUTATION
The previous computations of interest income assumes either or both of the
following:
a. there are no additional contributions or payment from the fund during the year.
b. contributions or payment from the fund are made at the end of the year in the
absence of information on when the transactions happened during the year.
However, in actual practice, contributions and/or retirement payments from the
fund can happen at any time during the year. Their effects shall be included in the
computation of interest income. The following accounting procedures are
relevant:
a. Contributions have increasing effect while payments have decreasing effect.
b. The effects shall be time-weighted and will depend on the length of time from
the date these contributions and payments occur up to the reporting date.
This is somewhat similar to the computation of the weighted average capital of
a partner,
c. The weighted average plan assets shall be multiplied with the discount rate at
the beginning of the period to obtain the interest income during the current
period.
The above procedures are also applicable in determining interest expense from
defined benefit obligation.
Illustration 6, At the beginning of 2023, NAVARRO Company reported beginning
balance of P3,200,000 in its plan assets. On April 1, 2023, it contributed P800,000
and on September 1, 2023 paid P1,200,000 to retirees. In addition, the plan assets
reported actual return of P320,000. Discount rate at the beginning of 2023 is 8%.

Required: From this information, determine the amount of interest income and
remeasurement gain or loss for 2023.
Answer:
1. First, determine the weighted average of plan assets by including the time-
weighted effects of contributions and payments from fund:
[B] [A] x [B]
[A] Timeto Weighting Weighted
Date Amounts 12/31 Factor Amounts
1/1 P3,200,000 12 months 12/12 P3,200,000
4/1 800,000 . 9months 9/12 600,000
9/1 (1,200,000) 4months 4/12 (400,000)
Weighted average plan assets P3,400,000
The readers should take note that the amount of actual return is not included in
the computations as it is determined only at the end of each year.
2. Next, multiply the 8% discount rate to the computed weighted average plan
assets of P3,400,000 to get the interest income for 2023 of P272,000.

3. Lastly, since the amount of the actual return of P320,000 is higher than the
computed amount of interest income (i.e., P272,000), their difference is
considered as remeasurement gain of P48,000.
COMPREHENSIVE ACCOUNTING FOR PLAN ASSETS
Illustration 7. MANALO Company reported a beginning balance of P8,000,000 for
2023 for its plan assets. These plan assets are expected to earn 10% return, even
though the discount rate used to compute the present value of the related
retirement liability as of December 31, 2022 is 9%. During the year, additional
contributions of P2,200,000 were made to the fund and P1,200,000 were paid to
retirees. In addition, retirement liability with present value of P200,000 was settled
by paying P170,000 from the fund. For the year 2023, the plan assets earned
P600,000 return. From this given information, determine the following amounts:
a. Balance of plan assets as of December 31, 2023
b. Interest income to be deducted from interest expense.
c. Remeasurement gain or loss
Answer:
a. The balance of plan assets as of December 31, 2023 is computed as follows:
Plan assets, 1/1/23 P8,000,000
Add: Actual return 600,000
Contributions to the plan assets 2,200,000
Less: Settlement price of retirement liability (not the PV) (170,000)
Amount of benefits paid to retirees (1,200,000)
Plan assets, 12/31/23 P9,430,000
422

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cS CamScanner
Chapter 12A - Post-Employment Benefits

It should be noted that the amount of settlement price was used instead of the
present value of settled liability since the amount paid from the plan assets is
equal to the settlement price. Here, the focus is accounting for plan assets,
and not the defined benefit obligation.
b. The amount of interest income is P720,000 (P8,000,000 beginning balance
times 9% discount rate). It should be noted that the interest rate to be used is
always the discount rate and not the expected rate of return.
In addition, the beginning balance of plan assets was used since there is no
information given regarding the exact dates on when the contributions,
payments to retirees, and settlement were made. As a result, it was assumed that
they took place at the end of 2023.
c. Actual return of P600,000 is less than the amount of interest income of
P720,000. As a result, their difference is considered as remeasurement loss of
P120,000.
ACCOUNTING FOR BOTH DEFINED BENEFIT OBLIGATION AND PLAN ASSETS
In practice, almost every entity consults with an actuary to calculate its retirement
obligation and maintains plan assets primarily with banks and other financial
institutions. As a result, in practice, an entity simultaneously accounts for defined
benefit obligation and plan assets.
PRESENTATION OF NET RETIREMENT ASSET OR LIABILITY
It is a common misconception that the amount of defined benefit obligation and
plan assets will be separately reported as liability and asset, respectively, in the
statement of financial position. However, the correct way of presenting them is by
obtaining their net amount as follows:
Defined benefit obligation Pxx
Less: Plan assets (xx)
Net retirement liability (asset) Pxx

The following rules summarize the reporting requirements:


Scenario -.. | Net retirement liability or asset?
Defined benefit obligation > Plan assets Net retirement liability
Defined benefit obligation < Plan assets Net retirement asset
Generally, net retirement liability is reported within the noncurrent liabilities
section of the balance sheet, while net retirement asset is reported within the
noncurrent assets section of the balance sheet.
Illustration 8. GOMEZ Company hasan ending balance of defined benefit obligation
amounting to P4,800,000. Required: Under each of the following independent
scenarios, determine the amount of net retirement liability or asset:

423

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders

Chapter 12A — Post-Employment Benefits

1. The plan assets amounted to P4,500,000


2. The plan assets amounted to P5,200,000
Answer - Scenario 1
There is anetretirement liability of P300,000 since the defined benefit obligation
of P4,800,000 is higher than the amount of plan assets of P4,500,000. This net
retirement liability is reported in the liabilities section of the balance sheet.
Answer - Scenario 2
There is a net retirement asset of P400,000 since the defined benefit obligation
of P4,800,000 is lower than the amount of plan assets of P5,200,000. This net
retirement asset is reported in the assets section of the balance sheet.
ACCOUNTING FOR TOTAL RETIREMENT COSTS
This is now the right time to put into test the concepts that the readers have learned
in accounting for both the defined benefit obligation and plan asset. In practice, all
of the relevant amounts can be found on the actuarial valuation report given by
an actuary whom the entity has consulted. °
Computing for the ending balances of obligation and asset is the same as previously
discussed, but the amounts recognized in profit or loss and other comprehensive
income will now be merged in the following manner:
As expense in profit or loss:
Current and past service costs Pxx
Interest expense on defined benefit obligation XX
Loss on settlement (if loss) XX
Less: Gain on settlement (if gain) (xx)
Interest income on plan assets (xx)
Net retirement cost recognized in profit or loss Pxx
As reduction from other comprehensive income:
Actuarial /osses on defined benefit obligation Pxx
Remeasurement loss on plan assets (if loss) XX
Less: Actuarial gains on defined benefit obligation (xx)
_Remeasurement gains on plan assets (if gain) (xx)
Net retirement cost recognized in OCI PXX
Total retirement costs in comprehensive income (net expense
recognized in profit or loss and OCI) PXX

Illustration 9, At the end of 2022, DIZON Company’s actuarial valuation report


(AVR) showed balances of P7,300,000 and P6,200,000 for its defined benefit
obligation and plan assets, respectively. During the year 2023, the following
transactions transpired:
a. Current service cost and past service cost amounted to P700,000 and P240,000,
respectively.
424

b. Contributions to the fund amounted to P500,000 while actual return amounted


to P750,000.
c. Actuarial losses due to changes in financial assumptions amounted to P900,000.
d. Actuarial gains due to changes in demographic assumptions amounted to
P100,000 while actuarial losses due to experience adjustments amounted to
P300,000.
Payments to retirees amounted to P1,000,000 while retirement liability with
present value of P420,000 was settled for P370,000.
f. Discount rate based on the 2022 AVR is 7% while it is 9% as of December 31,
2023 AVR. In addition, the plan assets are expected to earn 12% return.
From the given information, determine the following amounts:
1. Defined benefit obligation as of December 31, 2023
2. Plan assets as of December 31, 2023
3. Amount to be presented in balance sheet as of December 31, 2023
4. Net retirement expense in profit or loss for 2023
5. Net retirement cost to be reported in other comprehensive income for 2023
Answer:
1. Defined benefit obligation as of December 31, 2023 is computed as follows:
Defined benefit obligation, 1/1/23 P7,300,000
Add: Interest expense (P7,300,000 x 7%) 511,000
Current service cost 700,000
Past service cost 240,000
Actuarial losses - financial assumptions 900,000
Actuarial losses - experience adjustments 300,000
Less: Paid benefits to retirees (1,000,000)
Settled benefits (present value) (420,000)
Actuarial gains - demographic assumptions (100,000)
Defined benefit obligation, 12/31/23 P8,431,000

The amount deducted on account of settled benefits is the present value of such
benefits. In addition, the readers should not forget the computation of interest
expense. This is based on the discount rate at the beginning of 2023 (or based
on 2022 AVR), rather than at the end of 2023.
2. Balance of plan assets as of December 31, 2023 is computed as follows:
Plan assets, 1/1/23 P6,200,000
Add: Actual return 750,000
Contributions to the plan assets 500,000
Less; Settlement price of retirement liability (not at PV) (370,000)
Amount of benefits paid to retirees (1,000,000)
Plan assets, 12/31/23 P6,080,000

425

The

Chapter 12A — Post-Employment Benefits

It should be noted that unlike in defined benefit obligation, the amount deducted
from the plan assets on account of settled benefits is the settlement price. In
addition, the amount deducted from defined benefit obligation and plan assets on
account of payments to retirees are equal (both P1,000,000 in this illustration).
3. Next, determine the net retirement liability or asset as of December 31, 2023 by
netting the computed balances of defined benefit obligation and plan assets:
Defined benefit obligation P8,431,000
Less: Plan assets (6,080,000)
Net retirement liability, 12/31/23 P2,351,000

There is a net retirement liability since the amount of defined benefit obligation
is higher than the amount of plan assets. Therefore, this is presented in the
liabilities section of balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.
4. The net amount to be recognized in profit or loss in 2023 is as follows:
Current service cost P700,000
Past service cost 240,000
Interest expense on defined benefit obligation 511,000
Less: Gain on settlement (P420,000 - P370,000) (50,000)
Interest income on plan assets (P6,200,000x 7%) (434,000)
Net expense recognized in profit or loss, 2023 P967,000
The computation of interest income is based on the beginning balance of plan
assets as there are no information on the exact dates on when the contribution,
payment to retirees, and settlement. As a result, they are assumed to have
happened at the end of 2023.
In addition, if we group these amounts, we can compute for net service cost of
P890,000 (P700,000 current service cost + P240,000 past service cost - P50,000
gain on settlement) and net interest expense of P77,000 (P511,000 interest
expense — P434,000 interest income).
5. Net retirement costs to be reported in other comprehensive for 2023 is
computed as follows:
Actuarial losses on financial assumptions P900,000
Actuarial losses on experience adjustments 300,000
Less: Actuarial gains on demographic assumptions (100,000)
Remeasurement gain on plan assets (P750,000
actual return less P434,000 interest income) (316,000)
Net retirement cost recognized in OCI P784,000

There is a remeasurement gain on plan assets since the amount of actual return
is higher than the amount of interest income.

6. The compound journal entry to record the transaction is as follows:

Retirement cost - OCI 784,000


Retirement cost - profit or loss 967,000
Cash (equal to contributions) 500,000
Net retirement liability 1,251,000

The amounts in the journal entry are explained below:


a. The credit to cash is equal to the amount of contributions during the year.
b. Payments to retirees have no effect in the net retirement liability since
it was deducted from both the defined benefit obligation and plan asset.
c. Settlement of benefits also has the same effect as payments to retirees, except
for the gain or loss on settlement that was already included in the retirement
cost - profit or loss amounting to P967,000.
In addition, the P1,251,000 net credit to the retirement liability is also equal to
the increase in net retirement liability which is determined as follows:
Net retirement liability, ending (P8,431,000 - P6,080,000) —P2,351,000
Less: Net retirement liability, beginning (P7.3M - P6.2M) (1,100,000)
Net increase in net retirement liability, 2023 P1,251,000
ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET CEILING
It has been previously discussed that any excess of plan assets over the defined
benefit obligation (or surplus of plan assets) is reported as a net retirement asset.
However, there might be a limit, legally or otherwise, on the amount of net
retirement asset that an entity shall recognize. This is due to the fact that the entity
might not be able to fully utilize the economic benefits from this asset as the excess
belongs to the retirement beneficiaries.
Because of these limitations, the concept of asset ceiling will now become relevant.
The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits available in the form
of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. [PAS
19.8].
The net retirement asset that shall be reported is lower of the following:
a. excess of plan assets over defined benefit obligation (hereinafter referred to as
“surplus of plan assets”); and
b. amount of asset ceiling.
The readers should take note that the asset ceiling does not affect the separate
balances of plan assets and defined benefit obligation; instead, only their net amount
is affected. The resulting accounting procedures are summarized by the following
rules:
Hear: Scenario 4 it eae Accounting consequences
Surplus of plan assets < Asset ceiling No consequences
Surplus of plan assets > Asset ceiling | Accounting for effect of asset ceilin

Chapter 12A — Post-Employment Benefits

The “effect of asset ceiling” is the amount of excess of surplus of plan assets over the
amount of asset ceiling. This is accounted for as follows:
a. Changes in this amount, is recognized in other comprehensive income as
remeasurement gain or loss.
b. The amount to be recognized in other comprehensive income is reduced by the
amount of interest. This interest is reported in profit or loss.
c. The interest is computed as discount rate applied to beginning amount of
effect of asset ceiling. This discount rate is the same as the one used in
computing the amount of net interest expense (income) in defined benefit
obligation and plan assets.
These rules are summarized as follows:

Gain or loss, netof | Interest Income or


Scenario related interest Expense _
Increase in effect of asset ceiling | Remeasurement loss Interest expense
Decrease in effect of asset ceiling | Remeasurement gain Interest income

It should be noted that the amount of interest income or expense is included in the
computation of net interest expense (income) on net retirement liability
(asset). Incorporating these new amounts, the revised computation to be
recognized in profit or loss and other comprehensive income is as follows:

As expense in profit or loss:


Current and past service costs Pxx
Interest expense on defined benefit obligation XX
Interest expense on asset ceiling (if any) XX
Loss on settlement (if loss) XX
Less: Gain on settlement (if gain) (xx)
Interest income on plan assets (xx)
Interest income on asset ceiling (if any) ___ (xx)
Net retirement cost recognized in profit or loss Pxx

As reduction from other comprehensive income:


Actuarial losses on defined benefit obligation Pxx
Remeasurement loss on plan assets XX

Remeasurement loss on asset ceiling (if any) XX


Less: Actuarial gains on defined benefit obligation (xx)
Remeasurement gains on plan assets (xx)
Remeasurement gains on asset ceiling (if any) (xx
Net retirement cost recognized in OCI Pxx

Remeasurement gains (losses) on plan
assets 120,000 150,000 (180,000)

The asset ceiling is P600,000. Assume a steady discount rate of 10% for three years.
Required: Determine the amounts to be recognized as interest and remeasurement
gains or losses for each year using only the concepts on the effect of asset ceiling.
Answer:
4. First, compute for the amount of the surplus of plan assets over the defined
benefit obligation for each year:
2022 2023 2024
Plan assets P8,000,000 P9,200,000 P11,000,000
Less: Defined benefit obligation (7,500,000) (8,200,000) (9,700,000)
Surplus P500,000 1,000,000 P1,300,000

2. Next, compare these surplus amounts with the asset ceiling of P600,000 to
compute the effect of asset ceiling as of December 31 of each year:
2022 2023 2024
[A] Surplus P500,000 P1,000,000 P1,300,000
Asset ceiling 600,000 600,000 600,000
[B] Lower 500,000 600,000 600,000
Effect of asset ceiling [A] - [B] None P400,000 P700,000

There is no effect of asset ceiling for 2022 since the surplus of plan assets does
not exceed the asset ceiling. As a result, there will be no accounting
consequences for asset ceiling during this year.
3. Next, compute for the change in the effect of asset ceiling by comparing the
previous year’s amount with the current year’s amount. After this, the amounts of
interest and remeasurement gains or losses for the asset ceiling can now be
determined as follows:
2022 2023 2024
Effect of asset ceiling, end P- P400,000 P700,000
Less: Effect of asset ceiling, beg - - _ (400,000)
Increase in the effect of asset ceiling — P- P400,000 300,000

For the years 2023 and 2024, there are increases in the effect of asset ceiling.
However, interest expense is recognized only for 2024 since there is no
beginning balance on the effect of asset ceiling during 2023.
4, Incorporating the amounts computed in step (3), the total amounts to be
reported in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income are the following:
2022 2023
Service costs P700,000 P400,000
Net interest income (before
asset ceiling) (50,000) (100,000)
Interest expense on asset ceiling ~ is
Net retirement cost recognized
in profit or loss P650,000 P300,000

On the other hand, net amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are
the following:

2022 2023
Net actuarial losses P350,000 P250,000
Add: Remeasurement losses on
plan assets
Remeasurement losses on
asset ceiling 400,000
Less: Remeasurement gain on
plan assets (120,000) (150,000)
Net retirement cost recognized
in other compre. income P230,000 P500,000

The readers should take note that the asset ceiling does not affect the
computation of the individual ending balances of defined benefit obligation and
plan assets. However, as previously mentioned, it limits the reported amount of net
retirement asset.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Post-employment benefits are given to employees after their employment with an
entity has been completed.
2. According to Republic Act No. 7641, the minimum amount of retirement benefit is
equivalent to 22.50 days of compensation.
3. Post-employment benefit plans are classified to defined contribution plan and
defined benefit plan.
4. Accounting for defined contribution plan is fairly simple since the employer entity's
obligation is limited to its contributions to the retirement fund. As such, both the
actuarial risk and the investment risk are shouldered by the employees.
5. Accounting for defined benefit plans is complicated since the employer entity is
required to provide the promised benefit to its employees, regardless of the fund’s
performance. As such, both the actuarial risk and investment risk are shouldered by
the employer entity.
6. Accounting for defined benefit plans involve the simultaneous accounting for
defined benefit obligation and plan assets.
7. In determining its defined benefit obligation, the employer entity shall use the
projected unit credit method.
8. Actuarial assumptions are classified into demographic assumptions and financial
assumptions. These assumptions shall be unbiased and mutually compatible.
9. The discount rate used in discounting the retirement benefits shall be determined
by the following hierarchy (both as at the end of the reporting period):
a. First, reference to the market yields of high-quality corporate bonds.
b. Otherwise, reference to the market yields on government bonds.
10. The following transactions affect the balance of defined benefit obligation:
Beginning defined benefit obligation Pxx
Add: Interest expense (discount rate x beg. defined benefit obligation) XX
Current and past service costs XX
Actuarial losses XX
Less: Benefits paid to retirees in accordance with retirement plan (xx)
Settled benefits (immediate or premature settlements) (xx)
Actuarial gains (xx)
Ending defined benefit obligation Pxx
11.Current service cost represents the increase in the present value of defined benefit
obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, while past service
cost arise from employee service from prior periods.
12. Interest expense is based on the discount rate determined as of the beginning of the
current period (equivalent to the end of the previous period),
13.Actuarial gains and losses arise from both the experience adjustments and changes
in actuarial assumptions.
14. The plan assets are measured at their fair values. The transactions affecting the plan
assets’ ending balance are the following:

Contributions to the plan assets XX
Less: Actual loss (fund incame < fund expenses) (xx)
Amount of benefits paid to retirees (xx)
Settlement price of settled benefits (xx)
Ending plan assets Pxx
15.The amount to be reported in the statement of financial position is the net amount
between the defined benefit obligation and plan assets.
16. There is a net retirement liability if defined benefit obligation > plan assets while
there is a net retirement asset if defined benefit obligation < plan assets.
17. If the economic benefits from the plan assets are subject to an asset ceiling, it shall
be measured at the lower of the surplus of plan assets and the amount of asset
ceiling.
18. After considering the defined benefit obligation and plan assets, the total retirement
cost is comprised of the following:
As expense in profit or loss:
Current and past service costs Pxx
Interest expense on defined benefit obligation XX
Interest expense on asset ceiling (if any) xx
Loss on settlement (if loss) xX
Less: Gain on settlement (if gain) (xx)
Interest income on plan assets (xx)
Interest income on asset ceiling (if any) (xx)
Net retirement cost recognized in profit or loss Pxx
As reduction from other comprehensive income:
Actuarial losses on defined benefit obligation Pxx
Remeasurement loss on plan assets XX
Remeasurement loss on asset ceiling (if any) XX
Less: Actuarial gains on defined benefit obligation (xx)
Remeasurement gains on plan assets (xx)
Remeasurement gains on asset ceiling (if any) (xx)
Net retirement cost recognized in OCI Pxx
19.The remeasurement gain or loss on plan assets is equal to the difference between
the amount of actual return and interest income.
20.Interest income is based on the same discount rate as used in the computation of
interest expense.
21. Interest income or expense on asset ceiling is equal to the beginning effect of the asset
ceiling x the discount rate as used in the computation of interest expense.
22. Effect of the asset ceiling is the difference between the higher surplus of plan assets
and the asset ceiling.
23.Remeasurement gain or loss on asset ceiling is the difference between the change in
effect of asset ceiling and the interest income or expense on asset ceiling.

CHAPTER 13
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


1. The difference between the accounting income and taxable income including
how they are determined.
2. The high-level idea on the taxation system in the Philippines.
3. The types of differences between the amount of accounting income and taxable
income.
4. The computation of total tax expense and its components.
5. The subsequent accounting for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach
and the income statement approach.
6. The recognition of income taxes outside profit or loss.
7. The accounting for net operating loss carryover and changes in tax rates.

ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAX


Income taxes are one of the costs of doing business in almost all jurisdictions. As its
namesake, these are taxes based on the level of income earned by an entity. These
amounts are “enforced contributions” (i.e., involuntary) used for the functioning of
the government in providing public services.

So, how to compute for the amount of income tax due on the net income of an entity?

First, it is important to distinguish the following terminologies:


a. Accounting income - net income before tax for financial reporting purposes,
and determined using the rules in accounting (i.e., revenues are recognized when
earned and expenses are recognized when incurred).
b. Taxable income - determined using the rules laid down by the taxation
authority (i.e., from the legislative branch of the government).
In a perfect world, where the rules in determining accounting income and the
taxable income are the same (i.e., equal amounts of accounting income and
taxable income), the amount of income tax expense = ACCOUNTING INCOME times
the INCOME TAX RATE.

For example, an entity has a net income before tax of P1,500,000 in its accounting
records, while the relevant income tax rate is 25%. In this case, income tax expense
is P375,000 (P1,500,000 x 25% income tax rate).

As ideal this scenario might be, this is not always the case. The amounts of
accounting income and taxable income are rarely equal in this actual and
imperfect world. The changes in the accounting rules are not necessarily at the
445

The

Chapter 13 - Accounting for Income Taxes

same pace as the changes in taxation rules. There are times that drastic changes
were made in the accounting rules by issuing new accounting standards, but no
similar changes were made to taxation rules, and vice versa.
To understand the sources of these differences, it is important to know first the
details of determining the amounts of accounting income and taxable income.

DETERMINING THE ACCOUNTING INCOME


The amount of accounting income is determined by applying the concepts discussed
in the accounting subjects encountered in college such as, but are not limited to,
Financial Accounting and Reporting, Intermediate Accounting, Advanced
’ Accounting and Cost Accounting. These subjects utilize the rules provided by the
following:
a. Philippine Financial Reporting Standards or PFRSs (based on International
Financial Reporting Standards or IFRSs, including interpretations from
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or IFRIC);
PFRSs for Small and Medium Enterprises;
reals

PFRSs for Small Entities;


Philippine Interpretations Committee (PIC) Q&As; and
Any other generally accepted accounting principles in the country.

The accounting standard covering the accounting for income taxes is PAS 12,
Income Taxes.

DETERMINING THE TAXABLE INCOME


In the Philippines, determining the amount of taxable income will utilize the
provisions set by the following:
a. the National Internal Revenue Code (NIRC), as amended
b. issuances by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) (e.g., revenue regulations,
revenue memorandum circulars, etc.); and
c. provisions of other relevant laws and regulations

As the readers may have noted, the sources of rules in determining the amount of
accounting income are different from the sources of rules in determining the amount
of taxable income. Consequently, the amounts of accounting income and taxable
income cannot be expected to be equal to each other.

PRIMER ON PHILIPPINE INCOME TAXATION


An item of income is either exempt from taxation (non-taxable) or subject to
taxation (taxable). In the Philippines, items of taxable income are subject to one of
the following: final withholding income tax, capital gains tax, or the regular income
tax. More details on this topic will be discussed in the Income Taxation subject.

Income is subject to only one of the ff.: Income is not subject


a. Final withholding income tax to tax (has no current
b. Capital gains tax or future tax
c. Regular income tax consequences)

The above tax schemes can be summarized as follows:

Schemes Description
Generally, items of passive income are subject to this kind of tax. Items of
passive income include, but are not limited to, interest income from bank
deposits, interest income from government securities, dividend income,
prizes and royalties.
Final
with- The entity who earned these items of income will receive amounts that are
holding net of the related final tax since the income payor has already withheld the
tax related amount of tax. As a result, the readers are advised to ascertain
(FWT) whether the given amount of income is still the gross amount or already
net of tax.
Depending on the circumstances, the rate of the final tax is from 4.50%
and up to 25%.
There are two items of income that are subject to this kind of income tax:
e Difference between the (a) net proceeds from the sale of investment
Capital
in domestic equity securities directly to the buyer and (b) the original
gains tax
cost of the investment. Related tax rate is 15%.
(CGT) e Selling price of real property (land and/or building) classified as
capital asset for taxation purposes. Related tax rate is 6%.
Items of taxable income that are not subjected to either the final
withholding tax or capital gains tax. This is the “catch all” income tax
Regular applied to all other income. Current tax rates are 20% or 25%.
income
tax In the absence of items of income subject to either final withholding tax
or capital gains tax, the amount of “income subject to regular income tax”
is synonymous to “taxable income”.
For the rest of the chapter, a considerable amount of discussions will revolve
around regular income tax.

447

Chapter 13 — Accounting for Income Taxes

The computation of regular income tax has the following general form:
Gross income (excluding those subjected to FWT and CGT) Pxx
Less: Allowable deductions (analogous to operating expenses) XX
Taxable income Pxx
Multiply by: Regular income tax rate %
Regular income tax expense Pxx

The amount of gross income is normally the amount of net revenue less the amount
of direct costs (e.g., cost of goods sold for merchandising or manufacturing entities),
However, the amount of gross taxable income is not necessarily the same with the
amount of accounting gross profit because there might be differences between the
accounting rules and the taxation rules.
Similarly, the amount of allowable deductions is somewhat analogous to operating
expenses in accounting. However, there are also differences between accounting
rules and taxation rules with regards to the computations of operating expenses and
allowable deductions, respectively.
As to the regular income tax rate, currently, a tax table is used for individual
taxpayers, while for corporate taxpayers, a single flat rate of either 20% or 25% is
used. For the rest of the chapter, the focus will be on the corporate taxpayers.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING INCOME AND TAXABLE INCOME


These differences can be generally categorized into the following:
1. Permanent differences - differences that do not have any current and/or future
tax consequences. Examples of these include, but are not limited to the following:
a. Income not subject and will never be subject to income tax.
b. Recognized operating expenses as per accounting rules that can never be
considered as allowable deductions in computing taxable income.

2. Temporary differences - these differences normally arise from timing


differences that will have future tax consequences. Examples of these differences
include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. An item of income that was accrued in accounting but will only be taxable
when actually received.
b. Unearned income amounts received from customers are taxable during the
period of receipt but will be recognized as income in accounting only when
earned,
c. An item of expense that was already accrued and included in the operating
expenses to determine the accounting income but will be allowed as a
deduction in determining taxable income only when actually paid.
d. An item of expense that was prepaid (i.e, not recognized as expense in
determining accounting income) but will be tax-deductible at the time of
payment.

e. Differences in the amount of depreciation expense used in computing


accounting income and taxable income.
Details on the temporary differences will be discussed later in the chapter.

RECONCILING ACCOUNTING INCOME TO TAXABLE INCOME


The following is the general format in reconciling accounting income to taxable
income:
Accounting income Pxx
Add: Non-tax-deductible expenses (permanent difference) XX
Less: Non-taxable income (permanent difference) (xx)
Income subject to income tax Pxx
Less: Income subject to final withholding tax orcapita) gains tax (xx)
Income subject to regular income tax Pxx
Add or less: Temporary differences XX
Taxable income subject to regular income tax for thes current period | Pxx

The amount of “Income subject to regular tax” also includes the amounts that will
be subject to regular tax in the future periods.

Illustration 1. RIVERA Company reported net income before tax of P5,500,000 in


its income statement for the year 2023. Upon inspection, the Company recognized
income of P800,000 that is exempt from tax and included P1,200,000 non-
deductible expenses in its operating expenses. The Company also noted the
following temporary differences:
a. Advances received from customers amounting to P400,000 were recognized as
liability but taxable upon receipt.
b. Accrued income amounting to P600,000 will be taxable only upon actual receipt.
c. Prepaid insurance of P300,000 was paid on December 27, 2023. This insurance
covers the year 2024. According to taxation rules, the expenses are tax-
deductible when actually paid.
d. Depreciation expense deducted to arrive to accounting income amounted to
P1,250,000. However, tax-deductible depreciation expense amounted to
P1,500,000.
There were no items of income subject to final withholding tax nor capital gains tax.

Required: Determine the amount taxable income subject to regular income tax for
the year 2023.
In this case, the following reconciliation of accounting income to taxable income is
relevant:

449

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cS CamScanner
Chapter 13 — Accounting for Income Taxes

Net income in income statement (accounting income) P5,500,000


Add: Non-tax-deductible expenses (permanent difference) 1,200,000
Less: Non-taxable income (permanent difference) (800,000)_
___
Income subject to income tax P5,900,000
Temporary differences:
Add: Taxable advances from customers 400,000
Less: Accrued income that will be taxable only upon receipt (600,000)
Prepaid insurance that is tax-deductible when paid (300,000)
Excess tax depreciation (P1,500,000 - P1,250,000) (250,000)
Taxable income subject to regular income tax for 2023 P5,150,000

The readers should take note that in order to arrive at the amount of taxable
income, the accounting income shall be adjusted by following the taxation
rules. The tax treatments of temporary differences are explained as follows:
a. Advances from customers are not yet included in the accounting income but
these are already taxable; hence, they are added to arrive at the taxable income.
b. Accrued income is already included in the accounting income, but this will be
taxable only in the future periods; hence, it is deducted to arrive at the taxable
income. When this accrued income is received, then that is the time that it should
be included in the determination of taxable income.
c. Prepaid insurance is recorded as an asset of the Company (i.e., no expense was
recognized in accounting income from this transaction). However, this is
already tax-deductible; hence, it should be deducted as expense to arrive at the
taxable income.
d. Since the amount of depreciation expense already deducted from accounting
income is lower than the amount of tax depreciation, additional depreciation
expense shall be further deducted to arrive at the taxable income.

COMPONENTS OF TOTAL TAX EXPENSE


Total tax expense is composed current income tax and deferred income tax.
Details of their components and their corresponding basis are the following:
Current Basis
Final tax Pxx Income subject to final tax
Capital gains tax xx Income subject to capital gains tax
Regular income tax xx Taxable income for the current period
subject to regular tax
Deferred
Deferred tax expense xx Temporary differences
Deferred tax benefit (xx) Temporary differences
Total tax expense Pxx

The readers should take note that permanent differences do not have corresponding
tax expense since they do not have tax consequences.

At the bottom portion of the income statement of an entity, the total tax expense is
presented as follows:
Net income before tax Pxx
Less: Total tax expense (xx)
Net income after tax Pxx

CURRENT INCOME TAX


Current income tax expense is named as such since this amount is related to items
of taxable income for the current period. In practice, this is also called the “income
tax expense”
Current tax is simply computed as the amount of taxable income times the
corresponding tax rate. However, for final withholding taxes, caution should be
given if the amount of income is already net of final tax. In those cases, the income
should be grossed-up before multiplying the corresponding tax rate.
To the extent that the current income tax is not yet paid, a corresponding income
tax payable shall be recognized. However, for final withholding taxes, no
liability shall be recognized as the amount received is already net of the
corresponding final tax (i.e., the tax has already been paid by the counterparty).
The following are the pro-forma entries related to current income tax:
a. To recognize current income tax:
Income tax expense XX
Income tax liability XX

b. To record the payment of current income tax:

Illustration 2. For the year 2023, CASTRO Company reported P4,000,000 net
income before tax in its accounting records. Included in this amount is interest
received amounting to P160,000, net of 20% final tax. Non-taxable gain from the
proceeds of life insurance amounting to P1,000,000 was included in the accounting
income. Recognized operating expenses amounting to P450,000 are not tax
deductible. There were no other differences noted. Relevant regular income tax rate
is 25%. During the year, the Company paid P300,000 for its regular income tax,

Required: Determine the amount of (a) current income tax expense for 2023 and
(b) income tax payable as of December 31, 2023.

Answer:
a. First, reconcile the amount of accounting income to taxable income.

451

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cs CamScanner
Chapter 13 — Accounting for Income Taxes

Accounting income before tax P4,000,000


Add: Non-tax-deductible expenses 450,000
Less: Non-taxable gain on life insurance (1,000,000)
Income subject to income tax P3,450,000
Less: Income subject to final tax (160,000)
Taxable income subject to regular income tax P3,290,000

b. Next, apply the corresponding tax rates to the corresponding amount of income
to compute for the amount of current income tax:
Final tax expense P40,000 (P160,000/80%) x 20%
Regular income tax expense 822,500 P3,290,000x25%
Total current income tax expense P862,500
The readers should take note that P160,000 interest income is already net of
20% tax, so it was first grossed-up to P200,000 (i.e. the gross amount of
interest) before multiplying the 20% final tax.
c. Finally, compute for the income tax payable in the following manner:
Regular income tax P822,500
Less: Regular income tax paid (300,000)
Income tax payable P522,500

It should be highlighted that any amount of final tax is already remitted by the
income payor to the tax collection agency; hence, no amount of tax liability is
recognized for final tax.
TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES
According to PAS 12, temporary differences are differences between the carrying
amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base.
Temporary differences may be either:
a. taxable temporary differences - will result in taxable amounts in
determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods when the carrying amount
of the asset or liability is recovered or settled; or
b. deductible temporary differences - will result in deductible amounts in
determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods when the carrying amount
of the asset or liability is recovered or settled.
These temporary differences will result to the following amounts:

Temporary Corresponding Corresponding Income


differences Balance Sheet Amount Statement Amount
Taxable temporary Deferred tax liability
diffarentes (DTL) D eferred tax expense
Deductible temporary Deferred tax asset Deferred tax
differences (DTA) benefit/income

Chapter 13 - Accounting for Income Taxes

These deferred tax amounts are named as such (“deferred”) as their tax
consequences wil happen in the ene and not ee the current perion

DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF DEFERRED TAXES


When computing for the amount of deferred taxes, an entity can either use the
income statement approach or the balance sheet approach. However, PAS 12
prefers the use of the balance sheet approach. Nevertheless, in general (save for very
few exceptions), both approaches will result to the same deferred amounts.
Deferred taxes are measured by multiplying the amount of temporary
difference by the relevant tax rate (normally the regular income tax rate). The tax
rate is not necessarily the currently enacted rate but should be the tax rate that is
estimated to be applied during the period the deferred taxes are expected to
“reverse”, provided the new tax rate is substantially enacted as of the reporting
date. Changes in the tax rates are discussed later in the chapter.
However, the readers should take note that the full recognition of DTL is required,
but the DTA shall be recognized only up to the portion of the temporary differences
that are recoverable in the future (see the NOLCO section).
In addition, DTAs and DTLs shall never be discounted (i.e., shall be measured at
their gross amounts and not at present value amounts).
The usual practice in the Philippines is to present a net amount of DTL or DTA since
the income taxes are payable to only one taxation authority, the Bureau of Internal
Revenue (BIR). |1f DTL > DTA, it is said to be “net DTL”. If DTL < DTA, it is said to be
“net DTA”. Lastly, both the DTL and DTA are always considered non-current.

INCOME STATEMENT APPROACH


This approach is applicable only if the amounts of taxable income and accounting
income are provided. As such, the following accounting procedures are followed:
1. First, an entity shall compare the following amounts:
a. Accounting income subject to regular income tax; and
b. Taxable income for the current period
The amount of accounting income above excludes the effects of permanent
differences and the income subject to final tax or capital gains tax.
When comparing these amounts, the following can be summarized
Scenario ; Resulting Deferred Tax
Accounting income subject to regular income tax> | Not deferred tax expense
Taxable income for the current period
Accounting income subject to regular income tax<! Not deferred tax benefit
Taxable income for the current period

In other words, any temporary difference that has the effect of increasing the
accounting income relative to the taxable income will result to deferred tax
liability and a corresponding deferred tax expense. On the other hand,
temporary difference that has the effect of decreasing the accounting income
relative to the taxable income will result to deferred tax asset and a
corresponding deferred tax benefit.
Next, the resulting deferred tax expense or benefit in the first step has the
following effects in the beginning balance of net DTL or net DTA to arrive at the
corresponding ending net DTL or net DTA.
Effectin Beg. Net DTL_ | Effectin Beg. Net DTA
Net deferred tax expense Added Deducted

These can also be manifested in the following pro-forma journal entries:


a. If there is a net deferred tax expense: .
Deferred tax expense — net XX
Deferred tax liability - net XX
or
Deferred tax expense — net XX
Deferred tax asset — net XX

b. If there is a net deferred tax benefit:

Deferred tax benefit - net XX
or
Deferred tax asset - net XX
Deferred tax benefit - net XX

Illustration 3. At the beginning of 2023, SANCHEZ Company reported a net DTL of


P400,000. During 2023, accounting income of P7,000,000 were reported. In
addition, the following differences between the accounting rules and tax rules were
noted:
a. Income of P750,000 is non-taxable.
b. Operating expenses of P450,000 are not deductible for tax purposes.
C. Recorded depreciation expense for the building amounted to P1,800,000.
However, related tax depreciation should be P1,500,000.
d. Accounting depreciation for the equipment amounted to P900,000,. However,
the related tax depreciation should be P1,150,000.
Estimated warranty expense amounted to P600,000. Actual warranty costs
amounted to P400,000. Warranty costs are tax-deductible when actually paid.

Required: From this information, determine the following amounts:
a. Current income tax expense
b. Net deferred tax expense or benefit
c. Ending net DTL or DTA
d. Breakdown of net deferred tax expense or benefit
e. Presentation of total tax expense
Answer:
1. First, reconcile the amount of accounting income to taxable income:
Accounting income before tax P7,000,000
Add: Non-tax-deductible expenses (permanent difference) 450,000
Less: Non-taxable income (permanent difference) (750,000)
Income subject to [regular] income tax P6,700,000
Temporary differences:
Add: Excess accounting depreciation — building (P1.8M - P1.5M) 300,000
Excess accounting warranty expense (P600K - P400K) 200,000
Taxable advances from customers 350,000
Less: Excess tax depreciation - equipment (P1.15M - P900K) (250,000)
Accrued income not yet taxable in 2023 (1,000,000)
Taxable income for 2023 P6,300,000

From the computed taxable income of P6,300,000, the current income tax
expense can now be determined as P1,575,000 (P6,300,000
x 25%).

2. Since the amount of accounting income subject to income tax (P6,700,000) is


higher than the computed taxable income (P6,300,000), their net difference of
P400,000 is a “taxable temporary difference”. This will result to net deferred
tax expense of P100,000 (P400,000x 25%).
This can be recorded as follows:

Deferred tax expense, net 100,000


Deferred tax liability, net 100,000

After recording this entry, ending balance of net DTL is P500,000 (P400,000
beginning net DTL balance plus net deferred tax expense of P100,000).

3. The source (i.e., breakdown) of P100,000 net deferred tax expense is as follows:

Deferred tax expense computation:


Excess tax depreciation - equipment (P1.15M - P900,000) 250,000
Accrued income not yet taxable in 2023 1,000,000
Taxable temporary difference P1,250,000
Multiply by: Regular income tax rate 25%
Deferred tax expense (increase in DTL) P312,500

The readers should take note that the temporary differences included in the
computation of deferred tax expense are those deducted from the accounting
income to arrive at the taxable income. These have the effect of increasing the
accounting income relative to taxable income.
Deferred tax benefit computation:
Excess accounting depreciation — building (P1.8M - P1.5M) 300,000
Excess accounting warranty expense (P600,000 - P400,000) 200,000
Taxable advances from customers 350,000
Deductible temporary difference P850,000
Multiply by: Regular income tax rate 25%
Deferred tax benefit (increase in DTA) P212,500

The readers should take note that the temporary differences included in the
computation of deferred tax benefit are those added to the accounting income
to arrive at the taxable income. These have the effect of increasing the taxable
income relative to accounting income.
The net deferred tax expense of P100,000 can now be computed as follows:
Deferred tax expense P312,500
Less: Deferred tax benefit (212,500)
Net deferred tax expense (netincreaseinDTL) P100,000

4, In the income statement of the Company, the following portion is presented:

Net income before tax (accounting income) P7,000,000


Less: Current income tax expense 1,575,000
Net deferred tax expense 100,000
Total tax expense (1,675,000)
Net income after tax P5,325,000

The readers should take note that the amount of total tax expense is equal to
the amount of income subject to regular income tax (i.e. excluding
permanent differences) multiplied by the regular income tax rate. In the
example, total tax expense of P5,325,000 can also be computed as follows:
P6,700,000 x 25%. Again, permanent differences do not have any tax
consequences.

BALANCE SHEET APPROACH


To reiterate, this approach is followed in PAS 12. It has a big advantage over the
income statement approach that will be discussed later in this section. This is also
applicable if the tax base and the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities are
determinable.

Under the balance sheet approach, the tax base of an asset or liability is
compared with the corresponding carrying amounts. According to PAS 12, tax
base is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes.
Tax Base of an Asset
The tax base of an asset is the amount that will be deductible for tax purposes
against any taxable economic benefits that will flow to an entity when it recovers
the carrying amount of the asset. If those economic benefits will not be taxable,
the tax base of the asset is equal to its carrying amount. These principles can be
exemplified as follows:
a. Abuilding has a cost of P10,000,000 and carrying amount of P7,000,000. For tax
purposes, the cumulative amount of depreciation deducted from income totaled
P4,000,000. The tax base of the building is P6,000,000 (P10,000,000 - P4,000,000).
b. Aland has an original cost of P8,000,000, however, during the year, impairment
loss of P2,000,000 was recorded. In taxation, the amount of loss is deductible
only when realized (i.e., related asset has been sold). The tax base of the land is
P8,000,000.
c. Accrued interest receivable has carrying amount of P500,000. This amount is
taxable only upon receipt. The tax base of this asset is zero.
d. A note receivable has a carrying amount of P800,000. The receipt of repayment
from the debtor is not taxable. The tax base of the note receivable is P800,000.
Tax Base of a Liability
The tax base of a liability is its carrying amount less any amount that will be
deductible for tax purposes with respect to that liability in the future periods.
In the case of revenue received in advance, the tax base of the resulting liability is
its carrying amount less any amount of the revenue that will not be taxable in
future periods. These principles can be exemplified as follows:
a. Interest payable has a carrying amount of P600,000. This can only be deducted
for taxation purposes only when actually paid. The tax base of the liability is zero.
b. Estimated warranty expense is P700,000, while the actual warranty costs
amounted to P300,000. For tax purposes, warranty costs are deductible when
actually paid. The tax base of the liability is zero.
c. Accrued utilities has a carrying amount of P700,000. This has already been
deducted for tax purposes. The tax base of the liability is P700,000.
d. Advances from customers, a liability account, has a carrying amount of
P1,200,000. The receipt of these amounts is already taxable. The tax base of the
liability is zero.

Application of Balance Sheet Approach


When applying this approach, an entity may use the following steps:
1. First, determine and compare the carrying amounts and tax bases of the assets
and liabilities. The results of this comparison are summarized as follows:
Scenarios | Resulting deferred tax amount.
Assets
Carrying amount > Tax base Deferred tax liability
Carrying amount < Tax base Deferred tax asset
Liabilities
Carrying amount > Tax base Deferred tax asset
Carrying amount < Tax base Deferred tax liability
Again, the amount of the difference between the carrying amount and the
tax base are multiplied with the regular income tax rate to obtain the
amounts of deferred tax liability or asset. The readers should take note that the
resulting deferred tax liabilities and assets are already the ending balances.
2. Next, compare the determined ending deferred tax liability or asset with the
corresponding beginning balances of deferred tax liability or asset. These changes
in the balances have the following effects in deferred tax expense or deferred tax
benefit/income:
Change. Deferred Tax Expense or Benefit
Increase in DTL Deferred tax expense
Decrease in DTL Deferred tax benefit
Increase in DTA Deferred tax benefit
Decrease in DTA Deferred tax expense

Based on the above table, the reader should take note that deferred tax liability
has a direct relationship with deferred tax expense and an inverse
relationship with deferred tax benefit.
On the other hand, deferred tax asset has a direct relationship with deferred
tax benefit and an inverse relationship with deferred tax asset.

Illustration 4. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of TORRES

Advances from customers 800,000 600,000

Chapter 13 - Accounting for Income Taxes

Relevant tax rate is 25%. Beginning balances of deferred tax liability and asset
amounted to P300,000 and P90,000, respectively (net liability of P210,000).
Required: Determine the total amounts of deferred tax liability and deferred tax
asset as of December 31, 2023, and deferred tax expense and deferred tax benefit
for the year.
Answer:
1. First, determine the difference between the carrying amount and tax base of
each asset and liability:
Carrying
amount Tax base Differences
FVTPL investments - debt P1,600,000 P1,100,000 P500,000
Equipment 2,000,000 2,400,000 (400,000)
Building 5,000,000 4,000,000 1,000,000
Advances from customers 800,000 600,000 200,000
Estimated warranty liability 250,000 400,000 (150,000)
Based on the computations above, if the amount of difference is positive, carrying
amount> tax base. If the amount of difference is negative, carrying amount < tax base.

2. Next, determine which of the differences will give rise to taxable temporary
difference (deferred tax liability) or deductible temporary difference (deferred
tax asset), in absolute amounts:
Will Result To
Deferred Tax Deferred Tax
Differences Liability Asset
Assets:
FVTPL investments — debt P500,000 P500,000
Equipment (400,000) P400,000
Building 1,000,000 1,000,000
Liabilities:
Advances from customers 200,000 200,000
Estimated warranty liability (150,000) 150,000
P1,650,000 P600,000
Note: In the “Differences” column, if the amount is positive, carrying amount> tax base.
If the amount of difference is negative, carrying amount < tax base.

3. The amounts of deferred tax liability and asset are computed as follows:

Taxable temporary differences P 1,650,000


Multiply by: Tax rate 25%
Deferred tax liability, 12/31/23 P412,500
Less: Deferred tax liability, 1/1/23 300,000
Deferred tax expense, 2023 P112,500

459

The
The Book
Book R̶Readexs-Raiders
e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders || Nevule

Chapter 13 - Accounting for Income Taxes

Deductible temporary differences P600,000


Multiply by: Tax rate 25%
Deferred tax asset, 12/31/23 P150,000
Less: Deferred tax asset, 1/1/23 90,000
Deferred tax benefit, 2023 P60,000

These changes in deferred taxes are recorded as follows:


Deferred tax expense 112,500
Deferred tax liability 112,500

Deferred tax asset 60,000


Deferred tax benefit 60,000

These deferred tax amounts can also be presented in the following net basis:
a. Net deferred tax liability of P262,500 (P412,500 - P150,000) as of
December 31, 2023.
b. Net deferred expense of P52,500 (P112,500 - P60,000) for the year 2023.
This can also be computed as the amount of increase in net deferred tax
liability (i.e., P262,500 - P210,000).
COMPARISON OF INCOME STATEMENT AND BALANCE SHEET METHODS
Generally, the use of either methods will yield the same results as to the amount
of deferred tax expense (benefit) and deferred tax liability (asset). Their difference
lies on the calculation methodology.
Under the income statement approach, the amount of net deferred tax expense
(benefit) is determined first. This amount is either added to or deducted from the
amount of net deferred tax liabilities or assets at the beginning of the period to
determine the ending balance of net deferred tax liabilities or assets.
Under the balance sheet approach, the ending balances of net deferred tax
liabilities (assets) are determined first. These ending balances are compared
with the corresponding beginning balances to determine the amounts of net deferred
tax expense (benefit) during the current year.
In actual practice, elements of these approaches are applied as they are relevant
and all data needed are normally available. For example, it is much easier to compute
for the amount of current income tax expense using the income statement approach,
However, the use of balance sheet approach enables the entity to know the gross
amounts of deferred tax liabilities and assets, rather than the net amounts under the
income statement approach.

Illustration 5. LEON Company reported accounting income before tax for 2023
amounting to P8,500,000. The following were the differences noted between the
accounting rules and the tax rules:
460

Chapter 13 - Accounting for Income Taxes

. Income of P1,100,000 is non-taxable. Operating expenses of P850,000 are not


tax-deductible.
. Depreciation expense recorded for machinery amounted to P950,000, however
tax depreciation should be P600,000.
. Depreciation expense recorded for vehicles amounted to P1,200,000, however
tax depreciation should be P1,400,000.
. Estimated warranty expense of P750,000 was recorded and P500,000 was paid
for the warranty claims. Warranty costs are tax-deductible only when actually
paid.
. Research costs of P2,000,000 were expensed during 2023. However, for tax
purposes, these costs are tax-deductible in equal amounts for five years
including the current year.

Relevant regular income tax rate for the current and future years is 25%. At the
beginning of the year 2023, the following assets and liability have different tax
bases compared to their carrying amounts:
Carrying amount Tax base
Machinery, net P4,550,000 P5,200,000
Vehicles, net 3,500,000 3,100,000
Warranty liability 1,000,000 0

Based on the given amounts for the year 2023, the carrying amounts and tax bases
of the assets and liability as of December 31, 2023 are the following:
Carrying amount Tax base
Machinery, net P3,600,000!! P4,600,00018)
Vehicles, net 2,300,000! 1,700,0001!
Warranty liability 1,250,000! “
Research costs - 1,600,000IF1
Note: [A] = P4,550,000 - P950,000; [B] = P5,200,000 - P600,000; [C] =
P3,500,000 - P1,200,000; [D] = P3,100,000 - P1,400,000; [E] =
P1,000,000 + P750,000 - P500,000; [F] = P2,000,000 - (P2,000,000/5
years)

Note: There is an assigned tax base for research costs as it is considered an asset for
tax purposes since it is not tax deductible outright and need to be “amortized” in
determining the tax-deductible amount.

Required: From the given information, determine the following amounts using both
the income statement approach and balance sheet approach:
a. Net deferred tax liability or asset, 1/1/23
b. Current income tax expense for 2023
c. Net deferred tax expense or benefit for 2023
d. Net deferred tax liability or asset, 12/31/23

Answer - Net Deferred Tax Liability or Asset, 1/1/23


For this requirement, only the balance sheet approach is applicable.
1, First, compute the difference between the carrying amount and the tax base:
[A] [B] [A] - [B]
Carrying amount Tax base Difference
Machinery P4,550,000 P5,200,000 (P650,000)
Vehicles 3,500,000 3,100,000 400,000
Warranty liability 1,000,000 - 1,000,000

2. Next, classify each difference if they will result to deferred tax liability or asset
(in absolute amounts):
Will Result to
Differences DTL DTA
Machinery (P650,000) P650,000
Vehicles 400,000 P400,000
Warranty liability 1,000,000 1,000,000
P400,000 = P1,650,000
Multiply by: Regular income tax rate 25% 25%
DTLand DTA, respectively P100,000 P412,500
Note: In the “Differences” column, if the amount is positive, carrying amount > tax base.
If the amount of difference is negative, carrying amount < tax base.

At the beginning of 2023, there is a net deferred tax asset of P312,500


(P412,500 - P100,000).

Answer - Income Statement Approach


1. First reconcile the amount of accounting income to the amount of taxable
income:
Accounting income before tax P8,500,000
Add: Non-tax-deductible expenses (permanent difference) 850,000
Less: Non-taxable income (permanent difference) (1,100,000)
Income subject to [regular] income tax P8,250,000
Temporary differences:
Add: Excess accounting depre. - machinery (P950K - P600K) 350,000
Excess warranty expense (P750,000 - P500,000) 250,000
Research costs that are tax-deductible in the future
[P2,000,000 - (P2,000,000/5 years)] 1,600,000
Less: Excess tax depreciation - vehicle (P1.4M - P1.2M) (200,000)
Taxable income for 2023 P10,250,000
The effect of research costs in computing for the taxable income for the year
2023 can also be stated as follows:
a. The whole amount of P2,000,000 is added back to the accounting income.

462

The
The Book
Book R̶Readexs-Raiders
e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cS CamScanner
Chapter 13 - Accounting for Income Taxes

b. Annual amount of P400,000 (P2,000,000/5 years) is deducted from


accounting income. Both of these amounts will result to net addition of
P 1,600,000 (P2,000,000 - P400,000) in determining the 2023 taxable income,
This is also a great time to compute the amount of current income tax using the
taxable income for 2023. The amount of current income tax is P2,562,500
(P10,250,000x 25%).
2. Next, the amount of income subject to regular income tax (i.e., P8,250,000) is
lower than the amount of taxable income for the year (i.e., P10,250,000); hence,
their difference of P2,000,000 will result to a net deferred tax benefit and
corresponding increase in net deferred tax asset.
Consequently, the amount of net deferred tax benefit for 2023 is P500,000,
[(P10.25M - P8.25M) x 25%]. These shall be recorded as follows:
Deferred tax asset - net 500,000
Deferred tax benefit - net 500,000

After recording this entry, the amount of net deferred tax asset, 12/31/23 is
P812,500 (P312,500 beginning balance plus P500,000 deferred tax benefit).

3. The Company’s income statement will show the following portion:


Net income before tax (accounting income) P8,500,000
Less: Current income tax expense 2,562,500
Net deferred tax benefit . (500,000)
Total tax expense (2,062,500)
Net income after tax P6,437,500
Alternatively, the total tax expense of P2,062,500 can also be computed by
multiplying the P8,250,000 income subject to regular income tax by 25% tax rate.
Answer - Balance Sheet Approach
1. First, determine the differences between carrying amount and the tax bases as
of December 31, 2023:

[A] [B] [A] - [B]


Carrying amount Tax base Difference
Machinery P3,600,000 4,600,000 (P1,000,000)
Vehicles 2,300,000 1,700,000 600,000
Warranty liability 1,250,000 . - 1,250,000
Research costs - *1,600,000 (1,600,000)
*Research costs are considered as asset for tax purposes in applying the balance
sheet approach.
2. Next, classify each difference if they will result to deferred tax liability or asset
(in absolute amounts):

463

The

Will Result to

Machinery (asset) (P1,000,000) P1,000,000
Vehicles (asset) 600,000 600,000
Warranty liability 1,250,000 1,250,000
Research costs (asset) (1,600,000) 1,600,000
P600,000 P3,850,000
Multiply by: Regular income tax rate 25% 25%
Ending DTLand DTA, respectively _ P150,000 P962,500
Note: In the Differences” column, if the amount is positive, carrying amount > tax
base. If the amount of difference is negative, carrying amount < tax base.

Again, when using the balance sheet approach, the amounts of computed deferred
tax liability and asset are already the ending balances. At the end of 2023, there
is a net deferred tax asset of P812,500 (P962,500 - P150,000). This is the same
with what is computed using the income statement approach.

. Next, compute for the amount of change in the deferred tax liability and asset to
compute for the amounts of deferred tax expense and benefit:
Deferred tax liability, 12/31/23 P150,000
Less: Deferred tax liability, 1/1/23 100,000
Deferred tax expense (increase in DTL), 2023 P50,000

Deferred tax asset, 12/31/23 P962,500


Less: Deferred tax asset, 1/1/23 412,500
Deferred tax benefit (increase in DTA), 2023 P550,000

These can be recorded as follows:

Deferred tax expense 50,000


Deferred tax liability 50,000

Deferred tax asset 550,000


Deferred tax benefit 550,000
Netting the amounts of deferred tax expense and benefit will result to net
deferred tax benefit of P500,000 for 2023. This is the same with the amount
computed under the income statement approach.
. As an additional note, the implied amount of current income tax expense can
also be determined by using the following relationships:
Current income tax expense Pxx
Add: Net deferred tax expense XX
Less: Net deferred tax benefit or income
Total income tax expense
_(x)
Pxx

464

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule oJ CamScanner
CamScanner
Chapter 13 - Accounting for Income Taxes

The total income tax expense can be determined by excluding the effects of the
permanent differences in computing! for the amount of accounting income subject
to income tax as follows:
Accounting income before tax P8,500,000
Add: Non-tax-deductible expenses 850,000
Less: Non-taxable income (1,100,000)
Accounting income subject to income tax P8,250,000
Multiply by: Regular income tax rate 25%
Total income tax expense P2,062,500

Using the total income tax expense of P2,062,500 and net deferred tax benefit of
P500,000, the current income tax expense is the squeeze amount as follows:
Current income tax expense (squeeze) (P2,062,500 + eee: P2,562,500
Less: Net deferred tax benefit (500,000)
Total income tax expense P2,062,500

The amount of current income tax expense above is the same as computed when
using the direct reconciliation under the income statement approach. In other
words, the current income tax expense can still be determined impliedly by using
he relationship between th eferred ta nse for benefit) a alincome
tax expense.

RECOGNITION OF INCOME TAXES OUTSIDE PROFIT OR LOSS


So far, the illustrations deducted the amount of deferred taxes from the amount of
accounting income (i.e., profit or loss). However, there are items of temporary
differences that are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) or directly in
equity.
The following are some temporary differences that are recognized in the OCI:
a. Revaluation of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets
b. Unrealized gains and losses from financial assets at FVTOCI
c. Remeasurement losses from retirement plan
The following are some temporary differences that are recognized in equity:
a. Withholding taxes from payment of dividends to shareholders.
b. The equity portion of compound financial instrument
Consequently, the amounts recognized in OCI or in equity are already net of the
related deferred tax amount.
Illustration 6. As of December 31, 2023, DOMINGO Company revalued its land with
original cost of P10,000,000 and fair value of P12,000,000. The revaluation is not
taxable at the revaluation date but will be taxable when the land is actually sold.
Relevant tax rate is 25%. The revaluation can be recorded as follows:

465

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders

Nevule cS CamScanner
Chapter 13 — Accounting for Income Taxes

Land 2,000,000
Revaluation surplus 1,500,000
Deferred tax liability 500,000

There is a deferred tax liability because the carrying amount of P12,000,000 after
revaluation is higher than the tax base of P10,000,000. The gross amount of
revaluation surplus is P2,000,000 (P12,000,000 - P10,000,000). However, the
amount recognized is net of deferred tax [P2,000,000 x (1 - 25%)].
NET OPERATING LOSS CARRY-OVER (NOLCO)
In periods of business decline, reversals, or difficulties, an entity may incur net loss
before tax. In addition, a small amount of accounting income before tax may result
to negative amount of taxable income (i.e., taxable loss) after reconciling it with the
tax rules.

No income tax is due for taxable loss; however, these loss amounts from the previous
periods are deductible against the amounts of taxable income in the future (i.e.,
NOLCO). Because of this, the following accounting procedures shall be considered:
a. An amount of deferred tax asset is recognized equal to taxable loss times the
regular income tax, assuming all of the taxable loss is recoverable.
b. However, the amount of recognized deferred tax asset is limited to the portion of
NOLCO that is expected to be claimed before it expires. In the Philippines, NOLCO
will generally expire three years after it was sustained.
In other words, deferred tax asset is recognized only up to the NOLCO’s
recoverable portion. Consequently, no deferred tax asset is recognized for the
portion of the NOLCO that cannot be recovered in the future.

Illustration 7. MARTINEZ Company reported accounting income before tax of


P1,000,000. Proceeds from life insurance amounting to P2,000,000 is not subject to
tax while P350,000 expenses are non-deductible for tax purposes. There were no
other temporary differences during the year. Relevant tax rate is 25%.

The amount of taxable loss is computed as follows:


Accounting income before tax P1,000,000
Add: Non-tax-deductible expenses 350,000
Less: Non-taxable income (2,000,000)
Taxable loss for 2023 (P650,000)

Assuming that this taxable loss can be claimed in full as deduction before it expires,
deferred tax asset of P162,500 (P650,000 x 25%) is recognized. This is recorded
as follows: ,
Deferred tax asset 162,500
Deferred tax benefit 162,500

In the income statement of the Company, the following portion can be found:
Netincome before tax (accountingincome) —_ P 1,000,000
Add: Deferred tax benefit 162,500
Net income after tax P1,162,500

The readers should take note that the amount of net deferred tax benefit is added
to the accounting income.
Illustration 8. During 2023, an entity reported net income before tax of P600,000.
Depreciation of P1,250,000 was recorded for the year but the tax depreciation
should be P2,100,000. Relevant tax rate is 25%. Based solely on this information,
the amount of taxable loss is computed as follows:
Accounting income before tax P600,000
Less: Excess tax depreciation (P2,100,000 - P1,250,000) (850,000)
Taxable loss for 2023 j (P250,000) |

The amount of deferred tax asset to be recognized is P62,500 (P250,000 x 25%),


assuming that this taxable loss is fully recoverable. This is recorded as follows:
Deferred tax asset 62,500
Deferred tax benefit 62,500

In addition, deferred tax liability of P212,500 (P850,000 x 25%) shall be


recognized for the difference in depreciation since the effect of the temporary
difference is decreasing the amount of taxable income relative to accounting income.
This is recorded as follows:

Deferred tax expense 212,500


Deferred tax liability 212,500
In the income statement of the entity, the following portion can be found:
Net income before tax (accounting income) P600,000
Less: Deferred tax expense P212,500
Deferred tax benefit (62,500)
Total tax expense (150,000)
Net income after tax P450,000

Again, total tax expense of P150,000 is equal to the amount of accounting income
(i.e., since there were no permanent differences) multiplied by the tax rate (or
P600,000
x 25%).
CHANGES IN INCOME TAX RATES
The income tax rates are not necessarily the same rate all throughout the existence
of an entity. These tax rates change because of fiscal policies adopted by the

government to attract foreign investors or to change the disposable income of


consumers.
Regardless of the reason of the change, it will definitely impact the amounts of
recognized deferred tax liability and asset, even if there are no changes in the
temporary differences. The changes in these deferred amounts are recorded either
in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity, depending on where the
initial deferred amounts were recorded.
In accounting for changes in tax rates, it is much better to use the balance sheet
approach as it readily accounts for the corresponding changes in the deferred tax
amounts, including those coming from changes in tax rates.
Illustration 9. At the beginning of 2023, RODRIGUEZ Company reported P300,000
deferred tax liability and P180,000 deferred tax asset (net deferred tax liability of
P120,000). These are all based on 30% tax rate. At the end of 2023, cumulative
taxable temporary differences amounted to P1,500,000 and cumulative deductible
temporary differences amounted to P950,000. Required: Under each of the
following independent scenarios, determine the amount of net deferred tax
expense or benefit:
1. The enacted tax rate increased to 32%
2. The enacted tax rate decreased to 25%

Answer - Scenario 1
1. First, compute for the amounts of deferred tax liability and asset as of December
31, 2023 using the enacted new tax rate, 32%:
Cumulative taxable temporary differences, 12/31/23 P1,500,000
Multiply by: Enacted new tax rate 32%
Deferred tax liability, 12/31/23 P480,000
Cumulative deductible temporary differences, 12/31/23 P950,000
Multiply by: Enacted new tax rate 32%
Deferred tax asset, 12/31/23 P304,000

Since the amounts of temporary differences given are cumulative, they also
include the amounts of temporary differences not just from 2023 but also from
previous periods.
2. Next, compare these amounts to the corresponding balances as of January 1,
2023:
Deferred tax liability, 12/31/23 P480,000
Less: Deferred tax liability, 1/1/23 300,000
Increase in DTL/Deferred tax expense, 2023 P180,000

468

Chapter 13 - Accounting for Income Taxes

Deferred tax asset, 12/31/23 P304,000


Less: Deferred tax asset, 1/1/23 180,000
Increase in DTA/Deferred tax benefit, 2023 P124,000

The amounts of deferred tax expense and benefit already included the increase
in the deferred tax amounts as of January 1, 2023 due to increase in enacted tax
rate. For 2023, there is a net deferred tax expense of P56,000 (P180,000 -
P124,000).
The portion of net deferred tax expense of P56,000 related to the increase in
net deferred tax liability as of January 1, 2023 is P8,000 net expense
(P120,000/30% multiplied by the 2% increase in the tax rate).

Answer - Scenario 2
1. First, same with Scenario 1, compute for the amounts of deferred tax liability
and asset as of December 31, 2023 using the enacted new tax rate, 25%:
Cumulative taxable temporary differences, 12/31/23 P1,500,000
Multiply by: Enacted new tax rate 25%
Deferred tax liability, 12/31/23 P375,000

Cumulative deductible temporary differences, 12/31/23 P950,000


Multiply by: Enacted new tax rate 25%
Deferred tax asset, 12/31/23 P237,500

2. Next, compare these amounts to the corresponding balances as of January 1,


2023:

Deferred tax liability, 12/31/23 P375,000


Less: Deferred tax liability, 1/1/23 300,000
Increase in DTL/Deferred tax expense, 2023 P75,000

Deferred tax asset, 12/31/23 P237,500


Less: Deferred tax asset, 1/1/23 180,000
Increase in DTA/Deferred tax benefit, 2023 P57,500

The amounts of deferred tax expense and benefit already included the decrease
in the deferred tax amounts as of January 1, 2023 due to decrease in enacted tax
rate. For 2023, there is a net deferred tax expense of P17,500 (P75,000 -
P57,500).
The portion of net deferred tax expense of P17,500 related to the decrease in
net deferred tax liability as of January 1, 2023 is P20,000 net benefit
(P120,000/30% multiplied by the 5% decrease in the tax rate).

Illustration 10. MACAROONS Company started its operations on January 1, 2023.


During the year, the Company reported accounting income before tax of
469

Chapter 13 - Accounting for Income Taxes

P4,000,000. There were no differences in accounting rules and taxation rules,


except for the following:
a. Accounting depreciation amounted to P2,000,000, while tax depreciation
amounted to P2,800,000.
b. Warranty expense recognized amounted to P900,000, while actual warranty
costs amounted to P600,000.
Income tax rate is 30% for 2023. However, starting on January 1, 2024, the income
tax rate was lowered to 25%. Required: From the given information, determine the
total tax expense for the year 2023.

The following is the relevant reconciliation from accounting income to taxable


income and the computation of the current tax expense:
Accounting income before tax P4,000,000
Temporary differences:
Add: Excess warranty expense (P900,000 - P600,000) 300,000
Less: Excess tax depreciation (P2,000,000 - P2,800,000) (800,000)
Taxable income for 2023 P3,500,000
Multiply by: Tax rate for the year 30%
Current tax expense P1,050,000

The readers should take note that the current tax rate is used in determining the
current tax expense. However, in determining the deferred tax amounts, the
revised tax rate shall be used.
Consequently, the deferred tax expense and deferred tax income shall be
determined as follows:
Taxable temporary differences, 12/31/23 P800,000
Multiply by: Enacted new tax rate 25%
Deferred tax expense (increase in DTL), 12/31/23 P200,000
Deductible temporary differences, 12/31/23 P300,000
Multiply by: Enacted new tax rate 25%
Deferred tax income (increase in DTA), 12/31/23 P75,000

Net deferred tax expense for the year 2023 is P125,000 (P200,000 - P75,000)
which is consistent with the fact that accounting income is higher than taxable
income. Consequently, net deferred tax liability of P125,000 shall also be
recognized as of December 31, 2023 since there are no beginning balances.
In the income statement of the entity, the following portion can be found:

470

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders

Nevule cS CamScanner
Chapter 13 - Accounting for Income Taxes

Net income before tax (accounting income) P4,000,000


Less: Current income tax expense P1,050,000
Deferred tax expense 200,000
Deferred tax benefit (75,000)
Totaltaxexpense | (1,175,000)
Net income after tax P2,825,000

As an exception to the general rule, if there are changes in tax rate in the future, the
total tax expense is NOT equal to the amount of accounting income subject to income
tax multiplied by the tax rate.
EFFECTS OF SCHEDULED CHANGES IN TAX RATES
Sometimes, scheduled changes in tax rates and their corresponding effectivity dates
are enacted and announced during the current period. For example, a law was
enacted setting tax rate of 28% for the years 2024 to 2025, tax rate of 26% for the
years 2026 to 2027, and tax rate of 24% for the years 2028 and 2029.
In these cases, these scheduled changes in tax rates will change the amounts to be
recognized for the deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, based on the
expected timing of the reversal of the temporary differences.

Illustration 11. During the last days of the year 2023, PRESENT Company incurred
research costs totaling P4,000,000. Since the costs were incurred during the
research phase, these amounts were expensed outright in determining the
accounting income. However, for taxation purposes, these amounts shall be
amortized annually for P800,000 (P4M/5) for five years starting in 2024. In
addition, a new law was announced that will gradually decrease the income tax rate
to 27% in 2024 and 2025, 24% in 2026 and 2027, and 20% moving forward.

In this case, the initial measurement of deferred tax asset shall be determined as:

Expected reversal during 2024 (P800,000x27%) 216,000


Expected reversal during 2025 (P800,000x27%) 216,000
Expected reversal during 2026 (P800,000 x 24%) 192,000
Expected reversal during 2027 (P800,000 x 24%) 192,000
Expected reversal during 2028 (P800,000 x 20%) __ 160,000
Deferred tax asset, 12/31/23 P976,000

SUBSEQUENT REVERSAL OF DEFERRED TAXES


Subsequent to initial recognition, when the effects of temporary differences have
been reversed, the related deferred tax assets (DTA) and liabilities (DTL) will
correspondingly be decreased. Depending on the temporary differences, the
reversal may be one-time or gradual. Consequently, the reversal of deferred taxes
and liabilities have the following accounting consequences:

471

Chapter 13 - Accounting for Income Taxes

Scenario | Accounting consequence


Reversal of deferred tax liability | Deducted (credited) from total tax expense
Reversal of deferred tax asset Added (debited) to total tax expense
Illustration 12 - Reversal of DTL. On December 24, 2023, FUTURE Company
acquired a three-year property insurance by paying P450,000. This insurance
covers the period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The taxation rules
require this amount to be immediately deducted in determining the taxable income.
In addition, the Company reported accounting income of P2,000,000 and
P2,300,000 in 2023 and 2024, respectively. There were no other temporary
differences. The Company is subject to 25% income tax.

In this case, the carrying amounts and tax bases of the prepaid insurance as of
December 31, 2023 and 2024 are the following:
12/31/23 12/31/24
Carrying amount P450,000 P300,000
Less: Tax basis = -
Temporary difference P450,000 P300,000
Multiply by: tax rate 25% 25%
Deferred tax liability P112,500 P75,000
The readers should take note that the carrying amount is reduced by P150,000 per
year (P450,000/3-year coverage). There is a zero tax base since the whole P450,000
was already expensed during 2023.
For the year 2023, there is a debit of P112,500 in deferred tax expense due to the
initial recognition of deferred tax liability. On the other hand, in 2024, there is credit
of P37,500 (P112,500 - P75,000) in deferred tax expense due to the partial reversal
of temporary difference. The effects of these deferred tax expense amounts can be
further analyzed as follows:
2023 2024
Accounting income P2,000,000 P2,300,000
Less: Outright expensing of P450,000 premiums
under taxation rules (450,000)
Add: Annual insurance expense recognized in
accounting income but not in taxable income 150,000
Taxable income P1,550,000 P2,450,000

The total tax expense for each year is determined as follows:

Less: Credit to deferred tax expense in reversing DTL (37,500)
Total tax expense P500,000 P575,000

To double check, the total tax expense can also be determined by multiplying the

EFFECTIVE INCOME TAX RATE


PAS 12 requires the presentation of the reconciliation of the statutory tax rate to
the effective tax rate. Generally, the effective tax rate is determined as follows:
Effective _ Total tax expense
taxrate Accounting income before income tax

Illustration 13. Using the same information as in LEON Company in Illustration 5,


the effective tax rate for the year 2023 is determined as follows:
Total tax expense P2,062,500
Divide by: Accounting income before tax 8,500,000
Effective income tax rate 24.26%

Generally, effective tax rate will differ from the statutory tax rate due to one or a
combination of the following scenarios (non-exhaustive list):
a. Existence of permanent differences
b. Existence of unrecognized deferred tax assets due to recoverability issues
c. Existence of income subject to final tax or capital gains tax due to the differences
between final tax rates or capital gains tax rates and the regular income tax rate.

Do not have tax consequences. Income with permanent


differences include the following examples:
a. Tax-exempt interest income
b. Proceeds from the settlement of life insurance policy
c. Other income from donations from non-shareholder
Permanent d. Tax-exempt gains from selling long-term debt securities

differences Expenses with permanent differences include the following:


a. Undocumented and/or out-of-period expenses
b. Expenses in excess of allowable amount (e.g,,
representation expense, interest expense, etc.)
c. Expenses related to items of income subject to final tax or
capital gains tax.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
L Income taxes are one of the costs in conducting business. In paying income taxes, an
entity does not really receive goods or services from the government but pays taxes
since these amounts are enforced contributions (i.e., required contributions).
Total income tax expense = current income tax expense + deferred tax expense -
deferred tax benefit.
Current income tax expense = taxable income x income tax rate. Currently, the
regular income tax rates for corporations, depending on the circumstances is either
20% or 25%. Current income tax expense also includes final withholding taxes and
capital gains taxes.
Due to the different bases, accounting income and taxable income cannot be
expected to be equal in amounts. This can be attributed to permanent differences
and temporary differences.
Permanent differences will not have current and future tax consequences.
wi

Temporary differences normally arise from timing differences that will have future
tax consequences. These are classified as follows:
a. taxable temporary differences - will result in taxable amounts in determining
taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods when the carrying amount of the asset
or liability is recovered or settled. These will give rise to DTL and an increase in
deferred tax expense,
b. deductible temporary differences - will result in deductible amounts in
determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods when the carrying amount
of the asset or liability is recovered or settled. These will give rise to DTA and an
increase in deferred tax income/benefit.
Deferred taxes are not discounted but considered as non-current assets or liabilities.

When using the income statement approach, the net amount of deferred tax expense
or deferred tax benefitis determined first with corresponding effects as follows:
Effect in Beg. Net DTL Effect in Beg. Net DTA
Net deferred tax expense Added Deducted
Net deferred tax benefit Deducted Added

determined first based on the differences between the tax base and carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities:

Increase in DTL Deferred tax expense
Decrease in DTL Deferred tax benefit
Increase in DTA Deferred tax benefit
Decrease in DTA Deferred tax expense
10.Same amounts of deferred taxes will be computed whether using the income
statement approach or the balance sheet approach.
11. Full recognition of DTL is required, but the DTA shall be recognized only up to the
portion of the temporary differences that are recoverable.
12. By default, deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss. However, some deferred
taxes are recognized in OCI (e.g., revaluation of PPE) or directly in equity (e.g.,
compound financial instruments).
13. Taxable loss may be carried over to subsequent taxable periods (NOLCO) up to three
years based on current rules. As such, DTA shall be recognized only for the portion
of the NOLCO that are expected to be applied in reducing the future taxable income
before it expires.
14. Effectively, in general and in the absence of final taxes and capital gains tax, the total
income tax expense = accounting income subject to tax x income tax rate.
15.Changes in tax rates effective in the future periods affect the measurement of
deferred taxes, but it shall not affect the measurement of current tax expense which
is still based on the unchanged current tax rate.
16.Subsequent to initial recognition, as the temporary differences are reversed, the
amounts of the DTL and DTA will have corresponding decrease and effects as
follows;

Scenario Accounting consequence


Reversal of deferred tax liability | Deducted (credited) from total tax expense
Reversal of deferred tax asset Added (debited) to total tax expense

17. Effective income tax rate = Total tax expense/Accounting income before tax.

CHAPTER 14
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


The different types and purposes of derivatives.
WN pe

The different reasons why entities enter into derivative contracts.


The amounts of pay-off or obligation from each type of derivatives.
The initial and subsequent accounting for each type of derivatives.
Due

The classification of liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts.


The computation of accrued interest payable.

DERIVATIVES - INTRODUCTION
In conducting their operations, entities are exposed to a lot of business risks,
financial risks, and non-financial risks. As part of these risks, the selling price of an
entity’s products and the amounts of the entity's expenses may be subject to huge
fluctuations in amounts (i.e., high volatility in the amounts).

As such, an entity may use derivatives to manage the level of volatility through the
process of “hedging”. Hedging is the primary purpose of derivatives where the risks
can be transferred to other entities; however, accounting for hedging will be
discussed in a higher accounting subject.

On the other hand, some entities may also use derivatives for speculative purposes
(i.e., undesignated hedging instruments) where they bet on the future movements
in the price of financial assets or commodities. If the future events are favorable to
an entity’s bet, this can generate additional income to the entity. Accounting for
these speculative purposes is the focus of this chapter.
DEFINITION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS
Before anything else, it is important for the readers to know the definition and
characteristics of derivatives under PFRS 9, to wit:

A derivative is a financial instrument or other contract within the scope of PFRS 9


with ALL three of the following characteristics:
a. its value changes in response to the change in one of the following (also called
“underlying”):
® specified interest rate e foreign exchange rate
e financial instrument price e index of prices or rates
* commodity price e credit rating or credit index
© other variable, provided in the case of a non-financial variable, the variable is
not specific to a party to the contract

b. it requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller


compared to what normally would be required for other types of contracts that
would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors.
c. itis settled at a future date.
In other words, the short-hand definition for derivatives is as follows: derivative is
a contract, whose value is “derived” from the changes in the performance of the
underlying that will be settled in a future date.

DIFFERENT DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS


Based on the previous definition of a derivative, the following are the most common
examples of derivative contracts:

Contract Description
A contract that requires the entity to purchase or sell a certain number,
amount, or quantity of underlying. This contract arises from an exchange
market where the terms and conditions of the contract are made public.
Future | Generally, no initial amount is paid in entering in this contract.
An entity that is a party to a future or forward contract is required to
abide by the contract's terms and conditions, whether its position in the
contract is advantageous or disadvantageous.
Similar to future contracts, except forward contracts are privately
Forward
agreed-upon (i.e., over-the-counter contract)
A contract that gives right but not an obligation to purchase or sell a
certain number, amount, or quantity of underlying. In other words, the
holder of the options may choose not to exercise the option if it is in a
Options disadvantageous position.

However, unlike the future and forward contracts, the holder of the option
will pay a small amount in acquiring an option contract. It can be said that
generally, options are less risky compared to forwards/futures.

ELEMENTS OF A DERIVATIVE CONTRACT


The following are the primary elements of a derivative contract:

Elements Description ;
The asset, index, or rate covered in a derivative contract. Changes in th
Underlying
value of underlying determine the value of the derivative contract.
Exercise | The fixed amount at which the entity shall pay or receive in buying or
price selling the underlying, respectively,
This represents the nominal amount over which the derivative contract
Notional | is based but not necessarily the contract's value. This is determined as
the quantity of underlying x exercise price,
The date that the derivative contract is settled. In practice, there are
Maturity
multiple maturity dates for each derivative cash flows.

Illustration 1. On November 15, 2023, an entity, a speculator, entered into a


forward contract for the purchase of 100,000 kilograms of a commodity for P50 per
kilogram. The parties will settle the contract on January 15, 2024.
Based on the information provided, the elements of the forward contract are
dissected as follows:
a. The underlying is the value of 100,000 kilograms of the commodity. Changes in
the value of the commodity will determine the value of the forward contract.
b. Exercise price is the P50 fixed purchase price (e.g., original forward price).
c. Notional = P5,000,000 (100,000 kilograms x P50 purchase price per kilogram)
d. Maturity date is on January 15, 2024.
MANNERS OF SETTLING DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS
Derivative contracts may be settled through either of the following:
Manner Description
; The selling party delivers the underlying and receives the exercise
Physical ; : : : ;
<ehienent price while the buying party receives the underlying asset and pays
for the exercise price.
Generally, the party at the disadvantaged position pays cash to the
party at the advantaged position (except in option contracts). In other
words, there will be no delivery of the underlying asset. This mode of
Netcash | settlement is mainly applicable for speculative purposes.
settlement y
The amount of net cash settlement is equal to the difference between
he total exercise price (i.e., notional) a ! h lyi
ofthe maturity date.
GENERAL ACCOUNTING MODEL FOR DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS
The following decision tree is relevant in determining whether PFRS 9 is applicable
to derivative contracts:

Does the derivative contract have


financial asset as underlying?

Can the contract be settled net in


cash or by exchanging financial
instruments?
Yes

The contract is out-of-scope of PFRS 9 The PFRS 9 applies

Chapter 14 — Accounting for Derivatives

Based on the previous diagram, the following non-exhaustive list of derivative


contracts are accounted for under PFRS 9:
a. Derivative contract with foreign currency underlying.
b. Derivative contract to purchase or sell equity securities of other entities.
c. Derivative contract to purchase or sell debt securities of other entities.
On the other hand, a derivative contract covering a certain number of barrels of
crude oil (i.e., non-financial asset) that can be settled net in cash is within the scope
of PFRS 9. However, this derivative contract is out of scope of PFRS 9 if the entity
intends to take delivery of the underlying (i.e., not through net cash settlement).
Derivative contracts within the scope of PFRS 9 shall be accounted as follows:

Is the derivative contract held for


speculation?

Is the derivative contract


designated for hedging?

v
Apply the hedge accounting procedures Account for the contract
depending on the hedge classification (e.g., as at fair value through
fair value hedge, cash flow hedge) profit or loss (FVTPL)

The focus of this chapter is the accounting under the FVTPL model. Hedge
accounting is discussed in higher accounting subjects.
The accounting for derivatives at FVTPL is sort of similar to accounting for equity
or debt securities at FVTPL as follows:
a. The derivative asset or derivative liability is recognized at their fair values as of
each reporting date.
b. Changes in the fair value of the derivative asset or derivative liability are
recognized in the current year’s profit or loss.
DETERMINING THE PAY-OFF FROM FORWARDS/FUTURES
Before determining the amount to be recognized for forward/futures asset or
forward/futures liability, it is important to understand the: (a) role of the entity
(whether buying or selling); and (b) the relationship between the current
forward/futures price and the exercise price (i.e., original forward/future price) of the
underlying.

Chapter 14 — Accounting for Derivatives

For simplicity, many accounting problems in Intermediate Accounting replace


forward/future price with the current price (i.e., spot price) of the underlying. The
readers should take note that the forward/futures price is still the better amount to
be used since it reflects all other risks in the contract.
It should be noted that forward/future price pertains to buying or selling amount
in the future while spot price pertains to immediate buying or selling. However, on
settlement date, forward/future price will be equal to spot price.
Again, for forwards and futures, the entity is required to abide by the terms and
conditions; so, it is possible that the entity will either be at advantageous or
disadvantageous positions as follows:

Scenarios E ai Rw EON is Position


Buying entity:
Forward or future price or spot price > Exercise price | _Advantageous
Forward or future price or spot price < Exercise price | Disadvantageous
Selling entity:
Forward or future price or spot price > Exercise price | Disadvantageous
Forward or future price or spot price < Exercise price | Advantageous
Note: Exercise price above pertains to the original forward or future price.

Based on the above scenarios, it can be said that the positions of the buying entity
and the selling entity in a derivative contract are “mirrors” of each other. In other
words, if the forward/future contract is advantageous to the buying entity, then it
is disadvantageous for the selling entity and vice versa.

Illustration 2. On December 1, 2023, ABC Company and XYZ Company entered into
forward contract where the former will buy from the latter 10,000 ordinary shares
of another entity at a forward price of P30 per share. Required: Under each of the
following independent scenarios, determine the position of each of the entities
involved as of December 31, 2023:
1. The current forward price is P35 per share as of December 31, 2023.
2. The current forward price is P27 per share as of December 31, 2024.
Scenario 1 - Forward price has increased to P35 per share
In this case, the entities have the following positions:
ABC Company | The Company is in an advantageous position since it will be able
(the buying | to purchase the ordinary shares at a lower price of P30 per share
entity) rather than at a higher amount of P35 per share in the future.
XYZ Company | The Company is in a disadvantageous position since it is required
(the selling | to sell the shares at a lower price of P30 per share, even though the
| entity) selling prices in the future have increased to P35 per share

Scenario 2 - Forward price has decreased to P27 share


In this case, the entities have the following positions:
ABC Company | The Company is in a disadvantageous position since it is required
(the buying | to pay P30 per share even though the value of the shares in the
entity) future is only P27 per share.
XYZ Company | The Company is in an advantageous position since it will receive
(the selling P30 per share, which is above the value of the shares in the future
entity) at P27 per share.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS - FORWARDS/FUTURES


In the previous section, it was mentioned that a party in a forward/future contract
can have advantageous or disadvantageous position. Based on the entity’s position,
it shall recognize the following:
Position Amount to be recognized
Advantageous Forward /future asset
Disadvantageous Forward/future liability
Due to the mirror nature of the parties’ position in the forward/future contract, if
one of them recognizes a forward/future asset, then the other one recognizes
forward/future liability for the same amount and vice versa.
Depending on the given information, the amount of forward/future asset or liability
is measured as follows:
Scenarios Measurement of Forward/Future Asset or Liabili
Forward/future price is (current forward or future price less original forward
given or future price) x quantity of underlying
e ts (spot price less original forward or future price) x
Only spot price is given quantity ofunderlying
Note: The amounts determined shall be stated at their absolute values (disregarding the negative
sign, if any) since the advantageous or disadvantageous position is the determining factor whether
an entity recognizes an asset or liability, respectively.

Changes in the fair value of forward/future asset or liability have the following
consequences in an entity's profit or loss:
Changes Amount in profit or loss
Increase in forward/future asset Unrealized gain
Decrease in forward /future asset Unrealized loss
Increase in forward/future liability Unrealized loss
Decrease in forward /future liability Unrealized gain

contract with BETA Company for speculative purposes involving ALPHA’s purchase
of 15,000 barrels of petroleum gas at a forward price of P80 per barrel. The
settlement date is set on January 20, 2024. By December 31, 2023, the prevailing
forward price amounted to P90 per barrel. Fast forward to settlement date, the
forward and spot price are equal to P93 per barrel. The parties intend to ultimately
make a net cash settlement. Time value of money is deemed immaterial.
Required: Determine the journal entries to be recorded in the books of ALPHA and
BETA during 2023 and 2024.
In this case, the following journal entries shall be made:
Date ALPHA Company (the buyer) | - BETA Company (the seller)

Note: Ultimately, the total amount of unrealized gain of P195,000 (P150,000 + P45,000) is
equal to the amount of cash received. On the other hand, the total amount of unrealized loss
is equal to the amount of cash paid.

The readers should take note that over the life of the derivative, DELTA Company
has reported net unrealized gain of P100,000 (P160,000 - P90,000 + P30,000),
which is equal to the amount of cash it received from GAMMA Company.

DETERMINING THE POSITION IN OPTION CONTRACTS


ALL of the following factors affect the pay-off from option contracts:
a. Whether the entity is the holder or the writer of the option contract.
e Holder (or investor) - the entity who bought the option contract by initially
paying the option premium amount.
e Writer -the entity who created the option contract and sold it to holder. This
entity initially received the option premium amount but can have potential
liabilities in the future.
For simplicity in this chapter, the accounting procedures are told in the
perspective of the holder entity.
b. Whether the entity is the potential buyer or the seller in the option contract. The
following terminologies are relevant for the holder entity:

Role in the option contract | Name of the option contract


Potential buyer Call option
Potential seller Put option
The basic trading strategy using options is as follows: An entity purchases a call
option if it expects that the price of the underlying will increase while it purchases
put option if it expects that the price of the underlying will decrease.
C. The amount of option’s “strike price” (i.e, exercise price) relative to the current
value of the underlying (i.e., spot price).

499

The

Chapter 14 - Accounting for Derivatives

After considering all of these factors, the following are the positions of the holder
entity in an option contract (ignoring the amount of option premium paid):

Scenarios Position
The entity is a potential buyer (call option):
Spot price > Exercise or strike price Advantageous
Spot price < Exercise or strike price Disadvantageous
The entity is a potential seller (put option):
Spot price > Exercise or strike price Disadvantageous
Spot price < Exercise or strike price Advantageous

The other terminologies for the holder entity’s position are the following:

Position Option Terminology Probability of Exercise


Advantageous IN-the-money Most likely to be exercised
Disadvantageous OUT-of-the-money Least likely to be exercised
Spot price = Strike price AT-the-money Neutral

The readers should take note that the “moneyness” of an option contract is
dependent on BOTH of the following:
a. whether the option is a call option or put option; and
b. the relationship of the spot price and strike price
The probability of exercising the option is relevant since the option is a right, but
not an obligation unlike in the future and forward contracts. In other words, option
contracts are not required to be exercised, especially if the holder entity is in a
disadvantageous position.
Illustration 5. On December 1, 2023, EPSILON Company acquired a call option for
the purchase ofa certain number of shares of another entity ata strike price of P100
per share. Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine
the Company’s position as of December 31, 2023:
1. The underlying shares had fair value of P110 per share as of December 31, 2023.
2. The underlying shares had fair value of P92 per share as of December 31, 2023.
Scenario 1 - The share’s fair value is P110 per share
In this case, the Company is in an advantageous position since it has the right to
purchase the shares for just P100 per share, even though the prevailing market
price is P110 per share. As such, the option is said to be in-the-money and will most
likely exercised by the Company.

Scenario 2 - The share’s fair value is P92 per share


In this case, the Company is in a disadvantageous position since it has the right to
purchase the shares for P100 per share, even though the prevailing market price is
just P92 per share. As such, the option is said to be out-of-the-money and the
Company will most likely not exercise the call option.

Illustration 6. Use the same information as in EPSILON Company, except that the
contract is a put option for the purchase of a certain number of shares of another
entity at a strike price of P100 per share. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the Company's position as of December 31,
2023:
1. The underlying shares had fair value of P110 per share as of December 31, 2023.
2. The underlying shares had fair value of P92 per share as of December 31, 2023.

Scenario 1 - The share’s fair value is P110 per share


In this case, the Company is in a disadvantageous position since it has the right to
sell the shares at P100 per share, even though the prevailing market price is higher
at P110 per share. As such, the option is said to be out-of-the-money and will most
likely not exercised by the Company.

Scenario 2 - The share’s fair value is P92 per share


In this case, the Company is in an advantageous position since it has the right to
sell the shares for a higher amount of P100 per share, even though the prevailing
market price is just P92 per share. As such, the option is said to be in-the-money and
the Company will most likely exercise the call option.

NET AMOUNT OF PAY-OFF FROM OPTION CONTRACTS


For option contracts that are currently IN-the-money, the following are the gross
amounts of pay-off in the perspective of the holder entity assuming their exercise:

Option Gross amount of pay-off


Gross pay-off = (Spot price - Strike price) x No. of units of underlying
Call As the spot price increases, the gross pay-off amount increases. As to the
option | maximum amount, the sky is the limit since the spot price can go to much
higher amounts relative to strike price.
Gross pay-off = (Strike price - Spot price) x No. of units of underlying
Put As the spot price decreases, the gross pay-off amount increases. As to the
option | maximum amount, the strike price is the limit since the spot price of the
underlying will most likely never go below zero.

The gross pay-off is the amount that can be received by the holder from the writer of
the option. After considering the initial amount of option premium, the net pay-off
= gross pay-off less amount initially paid as option premium.
For option contracts that are currently OUT-of-the-money, there will be no
negative amounts of pay-off. Instead, the maximum
amount of loss in an option
contract is equal to the amount initially paid as option premium.

per kilogram by paying P15,000 initial option premium. Required: Under each of
the following independent scenarios, determine the net amount of pay-off or loss
from the call option contract:
1. Spot price on the date of exercise is P90 per kilogram.
2. Spot price on the date of exercise is P78 per kilogram.
3. Spot price on the date of exercise is P60 per kilogram.
The net amount of pay-off or loss in each scenario is determined as follows:
Scenarios Gross pay-off Net pay-off
1 P1,000,000 = (P90 - P70) x 50,000 | P985,000 = P1,000,000 - P15,000
2 P400,000 = (P78-P70)x 50,000 | P385,000 = P400,000 - P15,000
3 None (spot price < strike price) Loss of P15,000
Illustration 8. During the year 2023, for speculative purposes, KAPPA Company
acquired a put option covering 30,000 ounces of nickel at a strike price of P50 per
kilogram by paying P10,000 initial option premium. Required: Under each of the
following independent scenarios, determine the net amount of pay-off or loss from
the put option contract:
1. Spot price on the date of exercise is P45 per ounce.
2. Spot price on the date of exercise is P38 per ounce.
3. Spot price on the date of exercise is P55 per ounce.
The net amount of pay-off or loss in each scenario is determined as follows:
Scenarios Gross pay-off Net pay-off
1 P150,000 = (P50 - P45) x 30,000 | 140,000 = P150,000 - P10,000
Z P360,000 = (P50 - P38) x 30,000 | P350,000 = P360,000 - P10,000
3 None (spot price > strike price) Loss of P10,000
Note: The amount of net pay-off is equal to the net amount of gain or loss over the life of the option.

FAIR VALUE OF OPTION CONTRACTS


The fair value of option contracts is determined using the option pricing models
(e.g., binomial tree, Black-Scholes-Merton), which are already out of scope of this
book. However, the general components of the fair value of the options are the
following:
Fair Value of Option = Intrinsic Value + Time Value
An option that is in-the-money has both
intri valuensic
and time value. However,
out-of-the-money option has time value only but not intrinsic value. Consequently,
the fair value of in-the-money option is considerably higher compared to out-of-
the-money option.
Intrinsic value is the difference between the spot price and strike price, provided
that the option is in-the-money. On the other hand, time value represents the

502

The

Nevule cs CamScanner
Chapter 14 - Accounting for Derivatives

amount that a holder would pay after considering the likelihood that the amount of
pay-off from the option will increase in the future.
As such, an out-of-the-money option does not necessarily have a zero value, but it
could still have value in the form of time value.

Illustration 9. As of December 31, 2023, one of PLANETARY Company’s call


options had fair value of P1,500,000. This call option covers 5,000 ounces of gold at
a strike price of P1,000 per ounce. As of the same date, the spot price for the gold
amounted to P1,280 per ounce.

In this case, there is an intrinsic value for the call option since spot price of P1,280
is higher than strike price of P1,000. The P1,500,000 fair value can now be split into
following components:

Intrinsic value [(P1,280 - P1,000) x 5,000] P1,400,000


Add: Time value (P1,500,000 - P1,400,000) 100,000
Total fair value of the option P1,500,000

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS - OPTIONS


Accounting for options is very similar to financial assets at FVTPL, where changes
in the option’s fair value are recognized in profit or loss. Since an option represents
a right, but not an obligation, an asset shall be recognized if the holder is in an
advantageous position, but no liability shall be recognized if it is in a
disadvantageous position.

Generally, the option’s fair values are already given, and no computations are
necessary. However, i. ofagi r intrinsic valu
i hall ion’s fair value (i.e., time ' ime

On the date of settlement, the option’s fair value is equal to its intrinsic value (i.e.,
time value will become zero on this date). Changes in the fair value of option asset
have the following consequences:
'. Changes .—_ | Amount in profit or loss
Increase in option asset Unrealized gain
Decrease in option asset Unrealized loss

As to exercisability date/s, options can be classified as either of the following:


a. American option - exercisable anytime until the option’s expiration date.
b. European option - exercisable only on the option’s expiration date. For the rest
of the chapter, the options are presumed to be European options.
If, on the date of settlement, the option is out-of-the-money, the amount of net loss
over the option’s life is equal to the amount of initial option premium.

Illustration 10. On October 1, 2023, speculating the decrease in the price of silver,
an entity acquired a put option to sell 12,000 ounces of silver for P500 per ounce
by paying option premium of P30,000. The option will be settled on February 1,
2024. Fair value of the option and spot price of silver are the following:
Option SpotPrice - Silver
December 31, 2023 P300,000 P480
February 1, 2023 480,000 460

On October 1, 2023, the journal entry to record the payment of option premium:
Option asset 30,000
Cash 30,000

On December 31, 2023, the journal entry to recognize the change in the fair value
of the option in profit or loss:
Option asset 270,000
Unrealized gain - P/L (P300K- P30K) 270,000

On February 1, 2024, the journal entry to recognize the change in the fair value of
the option in profit or loss and receipt of net cash settlement from the option’s
writer:
Option asset (P480K- P300K) 180,000
Unrealized gain - P/L 180,000
Cash 480,000
Option asset 480,000

After considering all of the entries, the net gain from the option contract is P450,000
(P270,000 + P180,000) or the amount of net increase from initial premium payment
(P480,000 - P30,000) or the net pay-off {[(P500 - P460) x 12,000] - P30,000}.

Query: What if the spot price of the silver increased to P515 per ounce on February
1, 2023?
In this case, the option will be worthless (i.e., zero fair value) and the P300,000
carrying amount of the option asset as of that date shall be derecognized as a loss
as follows:

Unrealized loss - P/L 300,000


Option asset 300,000

After considering this entry, the net loss from the option contract is P30,000
(P270,000 unrealized gain less P300,000 unrealized loss - P/L), which is also equal
to the P30,000 option premium that was initially paid to the writer. Again, no
liability shall be recognized for options.

OTHER FORMS OF DERIVATIVES


The following are the other forms of derivatives:
1. Credit default swaps (CDS) - provide guarantee against the credit risk or the
chance that the counterparty will default on its obligation in a contract.
Specifically, ina CDS agreement:
e anentity exposed to credit risk pays periodic premiums to the guaranteeing
entity.
e in case of default, the guaranteeing entity is required to purchase that
financial asset at a fixed price from the entity who is originally exposed to the
credit risk.
For example, ABC Company has a loan receivable from another entity. To protect
against credit risk, ABC Company entered into a CDS agreement with XYZ
Company. Before the loan receivable defaults, the parties have the following
obligations:

ABC periodically pays the CDS premiums xyz


Company |¢ Compa
ey provides guarantee against credit risk tree

Incase the borrower of the loan receivable defaults, the parties will now have
the following obligations:

ABC sells the loan receivable 4 XYZ

Com hs Compan
scent pays the amount of the loan receivable pany

2. Interest rate swaps - in this form of swap, the parties change their exposure
from a variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate or vice versa.
For example, Entity A and Entity B, both speculators, entered into an interest
rate swap agreement with a notional principal of P100 million. Under the terms
of the swap, Entity A will pay 7% fixed rate (i.e., fixed-rate payer) while Entity B
will pay variable rate (i.e., variable-rate payer), both based on the P100 million
notional. Settlement is scheduled every December 31 of each year.
If, on December 31, 2023, the variable rate averaged 9%, the parties are required
to pay the following amounts:

will pay 7%)


>|
Entity A Entity B
will pay 9%

In this case, the parties may just agree to have a net cash settlement wherein
Entity B will pay 2% (9% - 7%) to Entity A.
3. Cross-currency swap - in this form of swap, the parties agree to exchange
principal (and interest payments) denominated in one currency for principal
(and interest payments) denominated in another currency. In hedging, this swap
is used to manage the foreign currency risk.
For example, ABC Company and XYZ Company entered into a speculative cross-
currency swap wherein ABC Company will pay 12% interest based on PHP50
million while XYZ Company will pay 10% interest based on US$1 million. The
settlement is every December 31 of each year.
- In this case, the parties have the following obligations every December 31:

: a a
ABC will pay 12% based on PHPSO million=> XYZ
c P
ompany will pay 10% based on US$1 million Compan
ie

4. Interest rate caps and floors - Interest rate caps are used to limit variable
interest from going up beyond a certain level (i.e., cap rate) while interest rate
floors are used to limit variable interest from going down beyond a certain level
(i.e., floor rate). In short, these derivatives are used in managing interest rate
fluctuations.
Interest rate caps are normally used for a liability with variable interest rate to
reduce the risk that the borrower will pay a very high amount of interest.

506

Chapter 14 - Accounting for Derivatives

Interest rate floors are normally used for an asset with variable interest rate to
reduce the risk that the investor entity will receive a very low amount of interest.

Illustration 12 - Interest Rate Cap. Entity A has a P10,000,000 face amount


bonds payable, owed to Entity C, bearing variable interest rate payable every
December 31 of each year. To protect itself from sudden increase in variable
interest rate, it entered in an interest rate cap agreement with Entity B at cap
rate of 8%.
Scenario 1: If, on December 31, 2023, the variable interest increases to 10% (i.e.,
above cap rate), then Entity A will receive a pay-off from Entity B equal to
P200,000 [P10,000,000x (10% - 8%)]. Entity A shall pay Entity C 10% interest.
Scenario 2: If, on December 31, 2023, the variable interest increases to 7% (i.e.,
still below cap rate), then there will be no pay-off between Entities A and B.
However, Entity A shall pay Entity C 7% interest.
Illustration 13 - Interest Rate Floor. ABC Company has an investment in bonds
with P5,000,000 face amount and bear variable interest. To protect itself against
the sudden decrease in variable interests, ABC Company entered into an interest
rate floor agreement with XYZ Company at a floor rate of 5%.

Scenario 1: If, on December 31, 2023, the variable interest decreases to 4% (i.e.,
below floor rate), then ABC Company will receive pay-off from XYZ Company
equal to P50,000 /P5,000,000 x (5% - 4%)].
Scenario 2: If, on December 31, 2023, the variable interest decreases to 6.50%
(i.e., still above floor rate), then there will be no pay-off between the parties.
To summarize, the following are the amounts of pay-offs from interest rate caps
and floors:

Scenarios - Amount of Pay-Off to be Received


Interest Rate Caps
Pay-off = Principal Amount of Liability x
Current rate > Cap Rate (Current rate - Cap rate)
Current rate < Cap Rate None
Interest Rate Floors
Current rate 2 Floor Rate None
Pay-off = Principal Amount of Assetx
Current rate < Floor Rate (Floor rate - Current rate)
A combination of interest rate cap floor is called interest rate collar.
5. Swaptions - combination of option and swap, wherein it is an option to enter
into a swap contract in the future.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Derivatives have the following characteristics:
a. its value changes in response to the change in underlying.
b. itrequires no initial net investment or a very small initial net investment
c. itis settled ata future date.

The following are the most common types of derivative contracts: futures, forwards,
and options.
Primary elements ofa derivative contract include the following: underlying, exercise
price, notional, and maturity. Notional = Quantity of underlying x exercise price.
Settlement of derivatives can be either of the following:
a. Physical settlement - with actual delivery of underlying asset.
b. Netcash settlement between counterparties.
Derivatives for speculative purposes are accounted under at FVTPL.
uw

Forwards and futures are very similar wherein they require an entity to purchase or
sell a certain amount of quantity of underlying. However, futures contracts are
traded in an exchange while forward contracts are private contracts.
Forward or future asset will be recognized if the entity is in an advantageous
position while a forward or future liability will be recognized if it is in a
disadvantageous position:
Scenarios se see Position
Buying entity:
Forward or future price or spot price > Exercise price Advantageous
Forward or future price or spot price < Exercise price Disadvantageous
Selling entity:
Forward or future price or spot price > Exercise price Disadvantageous
Forward or future price or spot price < Exercise price Advantageous

8. Option gives right but not an obligation, to purchase or sell a certain number,
amount, or quantity of underlying
9. Options can be either call option (i.e., option to buy) or put option (i.e., option to sell).
10.An option asset will be recognized if the entity is in an advantageous position, but
no liability will be recognized if it is in a disadvantageous position:

Scenarios Position
The entity is a potential buyer (call option):
Spot price > Exercise or strike price Advantageous
Spot price < Exercise or strike price Disadvantageous
The entity is a potential seller (put option):
Spot price > Exercise or strike price Disadvantageous
Spot price < Exercise or strike price Advantageous
11.An option is in-the-money if the holder is at an advantageous position while it is
out-of-the money if the holder is at an disadvantageous position.
12. The fair value of an option is composed of intrinsic value and time value. Out-of-the-
money options have only the time value.

CHAPTER 14: SELF-TEST EXERCISES

True or False
1. Derivatives may be used for hedging or for speculative purposes.
2. The price of the underlying is dependent on the changes in the value of the
derivative.
3. Commodity price can be considered as an underlying in a derivative contract.
4. Non-financial variable can never be considered as underlying in a derivative
contract.
5. Underlying represents the nominal amount over which the derivative contract is
based and not necessarily the value of the derivative contract.
6. Inaphysical settlement, there is an actual delivery of the underlying asset.
7. Aderivative with financial asset underlying and is held for speculation is accounted
at fair value through profit or loss.
8. Aderivative that can be net settled in cash, regardless of the underlying, and is held
for speculation can be accounted at fair value through profit or loss.
9. Forward contracts represent a right, but not an obligation to buy or to sell a certain
quantity of underlying.
10. Futures contracts are over-the-counter contracts.
11. Ina forward contract to buy, an entity shall recognize a forward asset if the forward
price has increased over the exercise price.
12. In a forward contract to sell, an entity shall recognize a forward liability if the
forward price has decreased under the exercise price.
13. Acall option is an option to purchase, while a put option is an option to sell.
14. A call option or a put option is considered out-of-the-money if the exercise price is
higher than the strike price.
15. In an in-the-money option, the fair value of the option is composed of time value
and intrinsic value components, while the fair value of the out-of-the-money option
is composed of intrinsic value only.

Chapter 15 — Shareholders’ Equity - Contributed Capital

CHAPTER 15
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY - CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


The differences between equity and liability.
The components of shareholders’ equity.
She gee

The components of legal capital and contributed capital.


The accounting for contributed capital components.
The differences among authorized, issued, subscribed, and outstanding number
of shares and transactions affecting these number of shares.

EQUITY INSTRUMENTS
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the
assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. [PAS 32.11]. That residual
claim represents rights to receive some or all of the following:
a. Dividends, when there is declaration;
b. Proceeds from satisfying the equity claims either from liquidation or in part at
other times; and
c. Any other claims established by contract, legislation, or similar means.
Examples of equity instruments include, but are not limited to, the entity’s own
common (or ordinary) shares, preference shares, and share rights.

EQUITY COMPARED TO LIABILITY


Both the equity and liability instruments are claims against an entity's assets as
illustrated in the basic accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity). In
layman’s terms, a claim of a creditor is considered as liability while the claim of the
owner is considered as equity. However, there are other things to be considered
when classifying claims as equity or liability.
The classification of instruments into liability or equity will depend on the
substance of the transaction rather than the legal form. Under PAS 32, features
of liability compared to equity are the following:

Liability fe. Equity


Is there a contractual obligation to Yes No
|___ pay cash or noncash asset?
Is there a contractual obligation to
exchange financial assets or financial
liability with another entity under Yes No
conditions that are potentially
unfavorable to the issuer?

The main distinguishing feature of equity instruments is the absence of an entity’s


obligation to pay cash or other financial asset to its shareholders. For example,
redeemable preference shares are legally considered as equity of an entity.
However, since there is a contractual obligation for the issuer to pay cash to the
holder, it will be considered as a liability for accounting purposes.

In addition, transactions involving the equity holders in their capacity as such


do not affect the profit or loss or other comprehensive income of an entity.

INTRODUCTION TO SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY


Most of the entities that are using full PFRSs are large enough for them to be legally
structured as corporations. Compared to sole proprietorship and partnership, the
corporation’s equity (called shareholders’ equity) has a lot more components
wherein each account provides different financial information.
The ownership over a corporation is normally divided into shares of stock, which is
evidenced by share certificates. The more shares thata shareholder owns, the more
ownership interest it has over the corporation. The components of shareholders’
equity are discussed in detail as follows:

Component Description
Represents the total par value or stated value of issued shares.
This can be classified as either pertaining to ordinary shares or
preference shares. Issued shares are shares that were fully paid
Share capital | by shareholders.
Ordinary shares are those with general shareholder rights and
are entitled to vote in important corporate matters.

Chapter 15 - Shareholders’ Equity — Contributed Capital

Preference shares contain “preferences” such as priority in


receiving dividends. However, preference shares normally cannot
vote on corporate matters,
Par value of a share is the nominal minimum value assigned to
each share. Par value shares cannot be issued for a
consideration below the issued shares’ total par value.
Stated value of a share is the nominal value assigned to no-par
value shares. No-par value shares shall be paid immediately (i.e.,
not allowed to be paid in installments). Legally, the minimum
stated value is set at P5.00 per share.

Gr ndditional shares total par value or stated value. This can also include the

CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL
From the term itself, contributed capital represents the amounts contributed by
the shareholders to the entity. This is computed by using the following
shareholders’ equity components:

The readers should take note of the following:
a. Subscription receivable is deducted in computing for contributed capital since
this amount is yet to be actually contributed by the subscribers.
b. Treasury shares are deducted in computing contributed capital since this
represent the amount paid (i.e., returned) to shareholders.
LEGAL CAPITAL
Legal capital is the portion of equity that a corporation cannot legally distribute
to its shareholders. This is based on the trust fund doctrine which provides that
the capital stock, property, and other assets of a corporation are regarded as equity
in trust for the payment of corporate creditors (Philip Turner v. Lorenzo Shipping
Corporation, G.R. 157479, 2010).

The actual amount of legal capital will depend on whether the shares have par value
or do not have par value:

The readers should take note of the following:


a. Common shares of other entities are not included in the shareholders’ equity
computation but will be presented as part of the assets (i.e., investments).
b. Share premium - ordinary is included in the legal capital computation since the
ordinary shares do not have par value. Share premium - preference is excluded
since the preference shares have par value.
c. Subscribed share capital is included at gross (i.e., not reduced by subscription
receivable) in computing the legal capital. [SEC-OGC Opinion No. 19-50].

ACCOUNTING FOR ISSUANCE OF SHARE CAPITAL


A corporation can issue its share by receiving any or a combination of the following
as proceeds (with the related accounting procedures):

Proceeds Accounting Consequence


The shareholders’ equity will increase by the same amount of
Cash cash received. Share premium to be recognized is equal to the
cash proceeds less aggregate par value of issued shares.
The amount of noncash asset shall be measured using the
following hierarchy [PFRS 2.10]:
1. Fair value of noncash asset received
aiaiirsel asc: 2. Fair value of shares issued
3, Par value of shares issued
Of course, the amount of increase in shareholders’ equity and
share premium to be recognized will depend on the
measurement of the noncash asset received.

employees reliably the fair value of the services received from employees.
Details of this will be discussed in Chapter 16.

Illustration 2 - Cash Received. A corporation is authorized to issue 200,000


ordinary shares with par value of P50 and 50,000 preference shares with par value
of P100. During the current month, it had the following equity transactions:
a. Issued 10,000 ordinary shares by receiving a total of P720,000.
b. Issued 25,000 preference shares for P125/share.
These transactions are recorded as follows:

Cash 720,000
Share capital - ordinary (10,000x P50) 500,000
Share premium - ordinary
(P720,000 - P500,000) 220,000

1. The land has fair value of P4,200,000 while the shares have fair value of
P150/share.
2. The land has fair value of P4,200,000 while the fair value of shares cannot be
reliably estimated.
3. The land’s fair value cannot be reliably estimated while the shares have fair
value of P150/share.
4, Both the land’s and shares’ fair values cannot reliably estimated.
Scenario 1
The fair value of the shares will be ignored since the first in hierarchy (ie., fair value
of land) in the measurement of noncash asset is available:
Land 4,200,000
Share capital (P100 x 30,000) 3,000,000
Share premium (squeeze) 1,200,000
Scenario 2
The entry is similar to Scenario 1 since the lack of the fair value of the shares issued
will not affect the measurement of the noncash asset if that asset’s fair value is
reliably determinable.
Scenario 3
Since the fair value of the land is not determinable, the second in hierarchy, the fair
value of shares issued, shall be used in measuring the land:
Land (30,000x P150) 4,500,000
Share capital (P100 x 30,000) 3,000,000
Share premium (squeeze) 1,500,000
Scenario 4
Since both the fair value of land and shares issued are not determinable, the land

be recognized):
Land (30,000x P100) 3,000,000
Share capital (P100 x 30,000) 3,000,000
BASKET ISSUANCE OF DIFFERENT CLASSES OF SHARES
A corporate entity may issue a certain number of its ordinary shares and a certain
number of its preference shares in a single transaction at a basket issue price. In
this case, the following allocation procedures are relevant:
1. If both fair values of each class of shares are determinable, allocate the basket
issue price based on the relative total fair values of the shares,
2. Otherwise, allocate the basket issue price to the extent of the determinable fair
value of a class of shares. Any excess basket issue price shall be attributed to the
class of share with no determinable fair value.

Illustration 4. During the year, a corporate entity issued 120,000 of its P25 par
value ordinary shares and 25,000 ofits P100 par value preference shares ata basket
issue price of P9,000,000.
Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the
journal entry to record the issuance of the shares:
1. The ordinary shares have P50 fair value per share while the preference shares
have P160 fair value per share.
2. The ordinary shares have P50 fair value per share while the fair value of the
preference shares cannot be determined reliably.
Scenario 1
Since both the fair values of each class of shares are determinable, the P9,000,000
basket issue price shall be allocated based on their relative total fair values (FV):
[A] . Allocation
TotalFV Proportion (P9M x [A])
Ordinary (120K x P50) P6,000,000 6M/10M P5,400,000
Preference (25K x P160) 4,000,000 4M/10M 3,600,000
P10,000,000 10M/10M P9,000,000

Compound journal entry to record the issuance is as follows:


Cash 9,000,000
Share capital - ord. (P25 x 120K) 3,000,000
Share premium - ord. (P5.4M-P3M) 2,400,000
Share capital - pref. (P100 x 25K) 2,500,000
Share premium - pref. (P3.6M-P2.5M) 1,100,000

Scenario 2
Since only the fair value of the ordinary shares is determinable, P6,000,000 (P50 x
120,000) will be allocated outright to these shares. The excess of P3,000,000
(P9,000,000 - P6,000,000) shall be allocated to preference shares.

Compound journal entry to record the issuance is as follows:


Cash 9,000,000
Share capital - ord. (P25 x 120K) 3,000,000
Share premium - ord. (P6M - P3M) 3,000,000
Share capital - pref. (P100 x 25K) 2,500,000
Share premium - pref. (P3M - P2.5M) 500,000

SUBSCRIPTION OF SHARES
A corporation may also issue its shares to shareholders on an installment basis (i.e..,
subscription basis). Most subscriptions require down payment with the balance
payable on specific date/s or payable upon the call of board of directors of a
corporation. The readers should take note that the 25%-25% rule on the pre-

incorporation subscription was already repealed under the Revised Corporation


Code (RCC).
It is only when the shares are fully paid that the related share certificate will be
issued to the subscriber. A share certificate is a legal document that serves as the
proof of ownership of shares in a particular corporation.

However, pending the full payment of the subscription price, a non-delinquent


subscriber is considered as a shareholder and shall have the same rights as
fully paid shareholders, except the right to the share certificate. (Section 71,
RCC).
The following are the pro-forma entries made in connection with the subscription
of shares and subsequent payment:
To record the subscription and down payment from subscribers:
Cash (if any) . XX
Subscription receivable XX
Subscribed share capital (at par) XX
Share premium (if any) XX

The amount of subscription receivable is equal to subscription price times the


number of shares subscribed. This is reduced by the amount of down payment, if
there is any. It should also be noted that the share premium is recognized as
early as the date of subscription (i.e., not when the full payment was received).
To record the receipt of subscription balance:
Cash XX
Subscription receivable XX

To record the issuance of share certificates upon full payment of subscription


balance:
Subscribed share capital (at par) XX
Share capital (at par) XX

The readers should take note that this transfer shall be made equal to the par value
of the fully paid shares (not at the amount of final payment).
Illustration 5. On January 1, 2023, a corporation received subscription on its P20
par value shares from five subscribers at a subscription price of P35/share, Each
subscriber subscribed 10,000 shares (total of 50,000 subscribed shares), Down
payment of 25% of subscription price is required to be paid, On February 1, 2023,
each of the subscribers paid 60% of the subscription balance. Three subscribers fully
paid their subscription on February 15, 2023 while the remaining subscribers fully
paid their subscription on March 1, 2023.

In this case, the total subscription price is P1,750,000 (5 subscribersx 10,000 shares
x P35). The amount of P437,500 (P1,750,000 x 25% ) down payment will reduce the
subscription receivable balance to P1,312,500 (P1,750,000 - P437,500). On January
1, 2023, the entry to record subscription is as follows:
Cash 437,500
Subscription receivable 1,312,500
Subscribed share capital (50,000 x P20) 1,000,000
Share premium [(P35 - P20) x 50K] 750,000

On February 1, 2023, to record the partial payment of P787,500 (P1,312,500x 60%):


Cash 787,500
Subscription receivable 787,500
After this entry, the subscription receivable balance will be P525,000 (P1,312,500 —
P787,500 or P1,312,500x 40%). Since each subscriber paid the same amounts, each
of them owes the corporation P105,000 (P525,000/5 subscribers).
On February 15, 2023, to record the full payment of three subscribers and the
related issuance of share certificates:

Cash (P105,000 x 3 shareholders) 315,000


Subscription receivable 315,000
Subscribed share capital 600,000
Share capital (3 x 10,000 x P20) 600,000

On March 1, 2023, to record the full payment of two subscribers and the related
issuance of share certificates:
Cash (P105,000 x 2 shareholders) 210,000
Subscription receivable 210,000
Subscribed share capital 400,000
Share capital (2 x 10,000 x P20) 400,000

After these journal entries, subscribed share capital and subscription receivable
accounts will have zero balances.

DELIQUENT SUBSCRIPTIONS
Of course, lending credit to subscribers may result to some of them being unable or
unwilling to pay for the subscription balance. In this case, the subscription may be
declared delinquent, and the process for finding the highest bidder for the
delinquent shares will be initiated.

The highest bidder is the one who is willing to pay the unpaid subscription
balance, interest, and other costs/expenses, if there are any, for the smallest

number of shares. In effect, the “highest” pertains to the highest bid amount per
share (i.e., lower divisor will result to higher quotient).
When there are no bidders, all of the delinquent shares will be issued in the name
of the corporation and will be considered as treasury shares. The previous
amounts paid by the subscriber shall be forfeited (i.e., recorded as share premium).
Concepts on accounting for treasury shares will be discussed later in the chapter.
Illustration 6. On June 1, 2023, a corporation received subscription at P40/share
for 50,000 of its P30 par value shares. A 30% down payment was received on that
date. The entry made to record the subscription is as follows:
Cash (50K x P40 x 30%) 600,000
Subscription receivable 1,400,000
Subscribed share capital (50K x P30) 1,500,000
Share premium 500,000

However, the subscriber failed to pay the balance and as a result, the subscription
was declared delinquent. Total costs of publishing and organizing the delinquency
sale amounted to P150,000. The following entries were made before the actual
delinquency sale:
Due from the highest bidder 1,550,000
Subscription receivable 1,400,000
Cash (publishing and organizing costs) 150,000

The following bids were received: Bidder A for 30,000 shares; Bidder B for 20,000
shares; and Bidder C for 26,000 shares.

Bidders | No.ofShares | Effective Bid Amount per Share


A 30,000 P51.67 (P1.55M/30K)
B 20,000 P77.50 (P1.55M/20K)
C 26,000 P59.62 (P1.55M/26K)

In this case, Bidder B is considered as the highest bidder (smallest number of shares
at 20,000 or highest bid amount per share of P77.50), who is entitled to 20,000
shares. The other 30,000 shares are issued on the name of the original subscriber:
Cash 1,550,000
Due from the highest bidder 1,550,000
Subscribed share capital 1,500,000
Share capital (50,000x P30) 1,500,000
Assuming instead that there are no bidders, the following entry will be made:

Treasury shares 1,550,000


Due from the highest bidder 1,550,000

RETIREMENT OF SHARES
A corporation may purchase shares and immediately retire them for good (i.e., may
not be resold), which will decrease the shareholders’ equity. Accounting
procedures will depend on the relationship between the par value and the
retirement price of the shares:
_ Scenarios Accounting Consequences... |
Par value > ‘ ‘ ; ' :
retirement price The difference is credited to share premium - retirement.
The difference is charged using the following hierarchy:
Par value < 1. Share premium related to the original issuance of the retired
retirement price shares only (i.e., not the whole share premium balance)
2. Retained earnings
In the absence of explicit amount of share premium related to the original issuance
of the retired shares, that amount can be estimated as follows:
Share premiumrelated _ _ Beginning share No. of retired shares
to retired shares premium No. of issued shares
Illustration 7. On January 1, 2023, an entity reported the following information:
Share capital, P50 par, 200,000 sharesissued § P10,000,000
Share premium 2,000,000
Retained earnings 5,000,000

Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the


journal entry to record the retirement of shares:
1. 4,000 shares were retired by paying shareholders P45/share
2. 4,000 shares were retired by paying shareholders P52/share
3. 4,000 shares were retired by paying shareholders P65/share
Scenario 1
The share capital account will always be debited at the total par value of the
retired shares. Since the retirement price is less than the par value, an amount will
be credited to share premium - retirement:
Share capital (4,000x P50) 200,000
Cash (4,000 x P45) 180,000
Share premium - retirement 20,000

Scenario 2
Since the retirement price is higher than the par value, an amount will be deducted
from the share premium arising from original issuance:
Share capital (4,000 x P50) 200,000
Share premium 8,000
Cash (4,000 x P52) 208,000

The

Chapter 15 - Shareholders’ Equity - Contributed Capital

It should be noted that the share premium from original issuance related to the 4,000
retired shares is equal to P40,000 [P2,000,000 x (4,000/200,000)]. This averaging is
just an approximation in the absence of additional information.

Scenario 3
Since the retirement price is higher than the par value, an amount will be deducted
from the share premium arising from original issuance:

Share capital (4,000 x P50) 200,000


Share premium (computed in scenario 2) 40,000
Retained earnings (squeeze) 20,000
Cash (4,000 x P65) 260,000

An amount is charged against retained earnings since the difference in par value
and retirement price (i.e. P60,000) is higher than the amount of share premium
from original issuance (i.e, P4¢0,000, as computed in Scenario 2).

TREASURY SHARES
Treasury shares are shares previously issued by a corporation that were reacquired
from its shareholders. Unlike in the retirement of shares, there is a plan to resell the
treasury shares for a reasonable price fixed by the corporation. In addition, unlike the
other equity accounts, treasury shares account has a normal debit balance.
Initially, treasury shares are measured at their purchase price. Subsequently,
these shares may be sold again at an amount higher or lower than the repurchase
price, or these shares may be also retired for good. Relevant accounting procedures
are the following:

The readers should take note of the following:

to the amount of acquisition price.

b. The reissuance of treasury shares, whether at a price higher or lower than the
shares’ purchase price, increases the shareholders’ equity, equal to the
amount of reissue price.
c. The retirement of treasury shares does not affect the shareholders’ equity
since the treasury shares have already decreased the shareholders’ equity at the
date of acquisition.
d. The retirement of treasury shares differs from the immediate retirement
of shares in that in the former, the difference may be charged to share
premium - treasury.
e. The cost of remaining treasury shares shall not be available for dividend
payment and shall be recorded as appropriation in the retained earnings, to be
discussed in the next chapter.
Illustration 8. At the beginning of the current year, an entity reported the following
information:
Share capital, P20 par, 400,000 shares issued P8,000,000
Share premium - issuance 1,200,000
Share premium - treasury 40,000
Retained earnings 5,000,000
Treasury shares, 20,000 shares, P28 cost 560,000

Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the


journal entries to record the transaction:
1. All of the treasury shares were sold for P32/share.
2. All of the treasury shares were sold for P27/share.
3. All of the treasury shares were sold for P24/share.
4. All of the treasury shares were retired.

Scenario 1
Since the reissue price (P32) is higher than the related cost (P28), a credit to share
premium - treasury will be made as follows:
Cash (20,000 x P32) 640,000
Treasury shares 560,000
Share premium - treasury 80,000

Scenario 2
Since the reissue price (P27) is lower than the related cost (P28), a charge against
share premium - treasury will be made as follows:
Cash (20,000 x P27) 540,000
Share premium - treasury 20,000
Treasury shares 560,000

The P40,000 balance of share premium - treasury is enough to absorb the “loss”.

Scenario 3
Since the reissue price (P24) is lower than the related cost (P28), a charge against
share premium - treasury will be made as follows:
Cash (20,000 x P24) 480,000
Share premium - treasury 40,000
Retained earnings (squeeze) 40,000
Treasury shares 560,000
The P40,000 balance of share premium - treasury is not enough to absorb the
P80,000 “loss” [(P28 - P24) x 20,000). As a result, the excess is charged against
retained earnings.
Scenario 4
Since there is a retirement, it is necessary to determine the amount of share premium
— issuance related to the retired shares amounting to P60,000 /P1,200,000 x
(20,000/400,000)]. The total difference between the purchase cost and par value is
P160,000 (P560,000 - P400,000), and shall be allocated in the following manner:
1. First, against the P60,000 share premium - issuance related to the retired
treasury shares.
2. Next, against the share premium - treasury of P40,000.
3. Finally, P60,000 (P160,000 - P60,000 - P40,000) against retained earnings.
The related journal entry to record the retirement is as follows:

Before recording this sale, there is a balance of P200,000 in the share premium -
treasury from May 15 sale against which the P30,000 “loss” can be fully charged. After
the sale, the balance in the share premium - treasury will be reduced to P17 0,000
(P200,000 less P30,000).

There is a “loss” of P180,000 [15,000 x (P40 - P28)] arising from this transaction.
However, the balance of share premium - treasury is only P170,000, resulting to
P10,000 charge against retained earnings.
Finally, to record the ultimate removal of the appropriation:
Appropriated retained earnings 1,600,000
Unappropriated retained earnings 1,600,000
SHARE ISSUANCE COSTS
According to paragraph 37 of PAS 32, transaction costs that are directly attributable
to the issuance of new shares be deducted from equity, net of any related income tax
benefit. However, the standard does not further elaborate on what account title
shall be used in recording these costs.
Consequently, Philippine Interpretations Committee (PIC) Q&A No. 2011 - 04
opined that such transaction costs be accounted as follows:
1. First, as direct deduction from the related share premium arising from the
issued shares,
2. Any excess of these transaction costs over the share premium from this
particular issuance are recorded in a contra-equity account (with debit balance)
titled “share issuance costs” from the following equity accounts in the order of
priority:
a. share premium from previous share issuance; or

b. retained earnings with appropriate disclosure.


In other words, share issuance costs are not recognized in profit or loss.
Illustration 10. Right before the end of the year 2023, a corporate entity had the
following information:
Share capital, P30 par value §P6,000,000
Share premium - issuance 200,000
Retained earnings 1,500,000

On December 31, 2023, the entity issued 50,000 ordinary shares at P35 issue price.
In connection with the issuance, the entity also incurred a certain amount of
transaction costs. Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios,
determine the journal entries to record the issuance of the shares:
1. Transaction costs amounted to P150,000.
2. Transaction costs amounted to P300,000.
3. Transaction costs amounted to P490,000.
Scenario 1
The following are the journal entries to be made on December 31, 2023:
Cash (50,000 x P35) 1,750,000
Share capital (50,000 x P30) 1,500,000
Share premium - issuance (squeeze) 250,000
Share premium - issuance 150,000
Cash 150,000

The P150,000 amount of transaction costs is wholly deducted from the share
premium account since it is lower than the P250,000 share premium arising from
this particular issuance. Net share premium from this transaction is P100,000.
Scenario 2
The following are the journal entries to be made on December 31, 2023:

Cash (50,000x P35) 1,750,000


Share capital (50,000 x P30) 1,500,000
Share premium - issuance (squeeze) 250,000
Share premium - issuance 250,000
Share issuance costs (squeeze) 50,000
Cash 300,000

The P50,000 balance in the share issuance costs account will be presented wholly
as a deduction from the P200,000 balance in the share premium - issuance account.

The P200,000 balance in the share issuance costs will be presented as a deduction
to the extent of the P200,000 balance in the share premium - issuance account. The
P40,000 excess (P240,000 - P200,000) will be presented as a deduction from the
retained earnings account.
Scenarios 1 to 3 - Presentation
Under each of the scenarios previously mentioned, the share premium - issuance
and retained earnings will have the following carrying amounts as of December 31,
2023:
Scenario1 Scenario2 Scenario3
Share premium - issuance, January 1 P200,000 P200,000 P200,000
Add: Net share premium from January 5 100,000
Less: Share issuance costs account (50,000) _ (200,000)
Share premium - issuance, end P300,000 P150,000
Retained earnings P1,750,000 P1,750,000 P1,750,000
Less: Share issuance costs account - - (40,000)
Retained earnings, end P1,750,000 1,750,000 P1,710,000

Note that in Scenario 3, the P240,000 balance in share issuance costs account is split
since the P200,000 balance in share premium - issuance is not enough.

COSTS OF INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF SHARES


Entities who make an initial public offering (IPO) of its existing shares in a stock
market often simultaneously issue additional shares. However, the readers should
take note that unlike the share issuance costs, costs related to the listing of existing
shares shall be expensed outright. Fortunately, PIC Q&A No. 2011 - 04 identified the
following costs and their related classification:
Costs -. Cost Classification
Documentary stamp tax Share issuance
Other percentage tax Share issuance
Underwriting costs Share issuance
Audit and other a advice relating to joltit - share igguanes and listing

Opinion of counsel Joint - share issuance and listing

Share issuance costs are accounted for as a direct deduction from equity (i.e.,
direct deduction from share premium - issuance) in the similar manner as in the
previous section, while listing costs are expensed outright.
On the other hand, joint costs shall be allocated as follows:

Joint costs to be _ Amountof , _No. ofnewly issued shares in the IPO


deducted from equity joint costs Total no. of shares after IPO

Joint costs to be _ Amountof , No. of existing shares before IPO


expensed outright joint costs Total no. of shares after IPO

Illustration 11. During the current year, an rene made an IPO of its shares and
incurred the following costs:
Documentary stamp tax P450,000
Other percentage tax 120,000
Underwriting costs 180,000
Audit and other professional advice relating to prospectus 400,000

Right before the IPO, the entity already had 200,000 ordinary shares with P20 par
value while an additional 300,000 ordinary shares were issued during the IPO at an
average price of P30. Required: Determine the accounting treatment for these costs.
First, determine the total amount of joint costs:

Share premium - issuance (squeeze) 3,000,000

The P1,820,000 share issue costs shall be wholly deducted from the share premium
since it is lower than the P3,000,000 share premium arising from this particular
issuance:
Share premium - issuance 1,820,000
Cash (for share issuance costs) 1,820,000

Total listing fees of P1,790,000 shall be expensed outright as follows:


Listing costs - P/L 1,790,000
Cash (for listing costs) 1,790,000

DONATION OF AN ENTITY'S OWN SHARES


Shareholders may return shares to the issuing corporation without asking for any
amount, thus in effect, donating the said shares. Since this donation is not
considered an economic event (i.e., no effect in equity), the receipt of donated
shares is recorded only through a memorandum entry. Only when these
donated shares are reissued that a credit to share premium - donated shares

The

shall be made, equal to the amount of proceeds received. This reissuance will
increase the shareholders’ equity.

Illustration 12. A wealthy shareholder of a corporation donated all of its


shareholdings in that corporation. The donated shares numbered 50,000 and have
par value of P10. These shares were subsequently sold for P42 per share.

On the date of donation, a memorandum entry will be made as follows:


“A shareholder donated 50,000 shares with par value of P10.”

On the date of selling the donated shares, the following entry will be made:
Cash (50,000 x P42) 2,100,000
Share premium - donated shares 2,100,000

It should be noted that the donation of shares and their subsequent reissuance
do not affect the amount of share capital and share premium from original
issuance.

DONATION OF ASSET
A corporation may also receive assets through donation. The asset shall be
measured at its fair value but the corresponding credit will depend on the identity
of the donor:
Donor — Cae Creditto =
Shareholder Share premium - donation
Non-shareholder Other income (in profit or loss)

Unlike in the donation of an entity’s own shares, the donation of assets has an
immediate effect of increasing the shareholders’ equity equal to its fair value
as early as of the date of donation.

Illustration 13. An entity received a land with fair value of P2,400,000 from a
donor. If the donor is a shareholder, the following entry will be made on the date
of donation:
Land 2,400,000
Share premium - donated assets 2,400,000

If the donor is a non-shareholder, the following entry will be made:


Land 2,400,000
Other income - P/L 2,400,000

CONVERSION OF PREFERENCE SHARES


Convertible preference shares allow their holders to convert the shares into a
specified number of ordinary shares. Upon conversion, the sum of the par value

537

The

Chapter 15 — Shareholders’ Equity — Contributed Capital

of converted shares and the corresponding share premium - preference will


be considered as the issue price for the issued ordinary shares.
Illustration 14. A corporation maintains 80,000 convertible preference shares
with par value of P100 (i.e., total par value of P8,000,000). These were all issued at
a premium of P2,000,000. Each preference share is convertible to four ordinary
shares with par value of P20. Required: Under each of the following independent
scenarios, determine the journal to record the conversion:
1. All of the preference shares were converted
2. 60,000 preference shares were converted
Scenario 1
The conversion is recorded as follows:
Pref. share capital - convertible 8,000,000
Share premium - preference 2,000,000
' Ordinary share capital (4x 80KxP20) 6,400,000
Share premium - ordinary (squeeze) 3,600,000
Scenario 2
The conversion is recorded as follows:
Pref. share capital - convertible
(60,000 x P100) 6,000,000
Share premium - preference
(P2M x 60,000/80,000) 1,500,000
Ordinary share capital
(4.x 60,000 x P20) 4,800,000
Share premium - ordinary (squeeze) 2,700,000
SHARE SPLITS
Corporations may also change the number of its shares without issuing new shares
or buying treasury shares by either splitting up or splitting down the shares. All the
shares belonging to a class of share that was subjected to the share split will be
affected, including the issued shares, unissued shares, and the treasury shares.

-IHustration 15. Currently, an entity maintains 120,000 ordinary shares with par
value of P60. Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios,
determine the number of shares and par value after the share split:
1. Share split-up where 2 new shares were exchanged for each share.
2. Share split-down where 1 new share was exchanged for every 2 shares
3. Share split-up where 3 new shares were exchanged for every 2 shares
4. Share split-down where 2 new shares were exchanged for every 3 shares
For each share split scenario, the revised number of shares and par value are the
following:
Revised Number of shares Revised Par value
2-for-1 share split-up 240,000 (120,000 x 2) P30 (P60/2)
1-for-2 share split-down 60,000 (120,000/2) P120 (P60 x2)
3-for-2 share split-up 180,000 [(120,000/2) x 3] P40 [(P60/3) x 2]
2-for-3 share split-down 80,000 /(120,000/3) x 2] P90 [(P60/2) x 3]

The readers should take note that before and after each share split scenario, the
total par value of the shares is the same (in this particular illustration, always at
P7,200,000). For example, after the 2-for-1 share split-up, the total par value is still
at P7,200,000 (240,000x P30). After the 1-for-2 share split-down, the total par value
is still at P7,200,000 (60,000 x P120).
REDEEMABLE PREFERENCE SHARES
As previously stated, these shares shall be classified as liability. Because of this,
dividends paid to these shares are reported as interest expense in profit or loss.

Illustration 16. At the beginning of 2023, GUEVARRA Company issued 6%


preference shares with total par value of P3,000,000. These shares are required to
be redeemed on December 31, 2025, with annual dividends required to be paid
each year.
On the issuance date, the following entry shall be made:
Cash 3,000,000
Redeemable pref. shares - liability 3,000,000

Every year, the payment of annual dividends is recorded as follows:


Interest expense 180,000
Cash (P3,000,000 x 6%) 180,000

AUTHORIZED VS ISSUED VS OUTSTANDING NUMBER OF SHARES


Now is the best time to differentiate the terms that are usually associated with the
number of shares. These terms can be distinguished as follows:

Authorized Shares
\ J\ JL J
Y Y Y
Unissued Subscribed
Shards Issued Shares Shares

\ )\ J
Y Y
Treasury Shares Outstanding Shares

Based on the above graphical representation:


a. Authorized number of shares is the starting point for all corporations since
this is the maximum number of shares that are legally allowed to be issued by
the corporation to its shareholders. This is the least affected classification of the
number of shares as this is increased only when there is an increase in
authorized capitalization.
b. Unissued shares are those authorized shares that are neither fully paid by the
shareholders (i.e., issued) nor covered by a subscription agreement (i.e.,
subscribed).
c. Issued shares are those that are fully paid and with the related share
certificates issued. These shares include those that are in the treasury and those
that are in the hands of shareholders (i.e., outstanding).
d. Treasury shares are previously issued shares of a corporation that were
subsequently acquired by that same corporation from its shareholders.
e. Subscribed shares are those that are covered by a subscription agreement and
with the related share certificates yet to be issued.
f. Outstanding shares include the subscribed shares and issued shares less
the treasury shares.
Subscribed shares are considered as outstanding shares since they have the
same rights as a fully paid shareholder (except the right to share certificate),
provided that the subscription is not delinquent. [Section 71 of RCC].
As a result of the inclusion of the subscribed shares, the number of outstanding
shares can be higher than the number of issued shares.

The importance of the classification of shares, especially the number of outstanding


shares, can be fully realized in the next chapter when computing for the amount of
dividends.

Illustration 17. A corporation was authorized to issue 100,000 shares. At the end
of the year, 60,000 shares have been fully paid while 15,000 shares were not yet
paid by the subscribers. In addition, 8,000 fully paid shares were reacquired from
the shareholders. In this case, the relevant numbers of shares are the following:

TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES


The following transactions have the following effects on the number of issued and
outstanding shares for a particular class of shares:
: Rion Outstanding
Issued Shares Shares
Share issuance for cash, noncash assets,
; : Se ; Increase Increase
previously incurred liability, services
Subscription of shares No Effect Increase
Fully payment on subscribed shares Increase No Effect
Immediate retirement of shares Decrease Decrease

Reissuance of treasury shares No Effect Increase
Retirement of treasury shares . Decrease No Effect (Note
Share split-up Increase Increase
Share split-down ; Decrease _ Decrease
Conversion from other class of shares Increase Increase
Conversion to other class of shares Decrease Decrease

The readers should take note that the retirement of treasury shares does not affect
the outstanding shares since the purchase of treasury shares already decreased the
number of outstanding shares from the time they were acquired from shareholders.
In addition, the full payment of the subscribed shares has no effect in the number
outstanding shares since these were already considered outstanding from the date
these were initially subscribed.
Illustration 18. At the beginning of 2023, an entity was authorized to issue 500,000
ordinary shares. During the year, the following share transactions were entered
into (in chronological order):

ISSUANCE OF SHARE RIGHTS
As existing owners ofa corporation, the shareholders are given priority in acquiring
new shares to be issued by the corporation. This is done to give the shareholders
the chance to maintain their ownership over the issuing corporation (i.e., right of
preemption and right of first refusal).
As such, unless otherwise stated, one share right is given for every outstanding
share, which can be used in acquiring one new share at a pre-determined exercise
price. Since the share rights are granted free of charge (i.e., not considered an
economic event), only a memorandum entry shall be made on the grant date.
Illustration 19, At the beginning of 2023, TRISHA Company had 200,000 issued
and outstanding ordinary shares with P5 par value. On March 1, ‘2023, 30,000
ordinary shares were issued, while on April 30, 2023, 10,000 ordinary shares were
purchased to be held in treasury. On May 15, 2023, the Company granted share
rights to its shareholders, with each right granting the holder the right to purchase
one ordinary share for P8 per share. Fast forward to June 12, 2023, 60% of the share
rights were exercised, while the remaining 40% were exercised on July 1, 2023.
Required: Determine the journal entries related to the share rights.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Equity represents the residual interest in an entity. For a security to be classified as
such, the issuing entity shall have no obligation to pay cash or transfer noncash asset.
Z: Shareholders’ equity is more complex than a sole proprietor’s equity or

CHAPTER 15A
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY - RETAINED EARNINGS
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


The general description of retained earnings.
Ee

The transactions affecting retained earnings.


WN

The different classifications of dividends and the accounting requirements.


The appropriation of retained earnings.
Wr

The concept of quasi-reorganization.

RETAINED EARNINGS
Generally, retained earnings (or accumulated profits) represent a corporation’s
cumulative amounts of net income earned less the cumulative amounts of
dividends it has declared since the corporation’s inception. Similar to other
equity accounts, retained earnings account has a normal credit balance. However,
if there are excessive losses incurred, retained earnings can have a negative balance
(i.e., deficit), which will now be called “accumulated losses” and has a debit balance.

Total retained earnings can be classified as either unappropriated or


appropriated. The unappropriated portion of the retained earnings represents the
amount available for distribution to shareholders. Appropriation of retained
earnings will be discussed later in the chapter.
TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING UNAPPROPRIATED RETAINED EARNINGS
The main driver of the retained earnings balance for most entities is the amount of
the after- tax profit or loss each year. Pro-forma journal entries to close the amount
of profit or loss are the following:
Income summary (if profit) XX
Retained earnings - unappropriated XX

Retained earnings - unappropriated XX


Income summary (if loss) XX

Dividends also have great impact in the retained earnings balance through this
entry:
Retained earnings - unappropriated XX
Dividends (cash/property/share) XX
However, there are also other transactions affecting retained earnings, which are
shown in the following comprehensive scope of transactions (credits increase
retained earnings while debits decrease retained earnings):

Illustration 1. At the beginning of 2023, DEGAMO Company reported retained


earnings balance of P8,400,000. During the year, total revenues of P10,000,000
were earned while total expenses of P7,500,000 were incurred. Relevant tax rate is
25%. In addition, the following information might be of relevance:
a. A building with estimated remaining useful life of 10 years was revalued on
December 31, 2022 (i.e., last year), resulting to P1,200,000 revaluation surplus.
b. An investment at FVTOCI was sold during the year. Cumulative unrealized loss
— OCI on the date of sale amounted to P80,000.
c. Total dividends of P900,000 were declared during the year.
The ending balance of retained earnings is computed as follows:
Retained earnings -
unappropriated
Dividends declared 900,000 | 8,400,000 | Beginning balance
Transfer of unrealized loss - OCI 80,000 | 1,875,000 | Profit after income tax

Ending balance (squeeze) | 9,415,000 120,000 | Piecemeal transfer of
(P10,395K - P900K - P80K) revaluation surplus
(P1,200,000/10 years)
Totals (should be equal) | 10,395,000 | 10,395,000

DIVIDENDS - IN GENERAL
Generally, dividend is the portion of the earnings of an entity that is distributed to
the shareholders. This is one of the returns on investment that the investors are
interested (the other one being the changes in the shares’ fair value). The following
are the major types of dividends that an entity can declare:

The amount to be deducted, if any, from retained earnings will depend on the type
of dividends, which will be discussed in detail in the succeeding sections.

Dividends are voluntary, and the entity does not have an obligation to pay it unless
there is an actual declaration. The power to declare dividends rests on the Board
of Directors of an entity. In normal circumstances, an entity shall have
unrestricted retained earnings before it can legally distribute dividends, except
for liquidating dividends.
The following dates are relevant in accounting for dividends:

CASH DIVIDENDS - ORDINARY SHARES


Cash dividends paid on ordinary shares are usually stated on a per share dividend
amount and only which the outstanding shares as of the date of
declaration/record are entitled to receive. As discussed in the previous chapter,
outstanding shares include those that are subscribed and issued, less the
number of treasury shares.
Illustration 1. As of November 30, 2023, SALGADO Company reported the
following amounts in its shareholders’ equity:

On December 15, 2023, the date of record, a memo entry is prepared.


On December 31, 2023, the payment of the dividends is recorded as follows:
Cash dividends payable 610,000
Cash 610,000

CASH DIVIDENDS - PREFERENCE SHARES


Unlike cash dividends, preference shares usually bear a certain percentage which
is multiplied to the par value of outstanding preference shares to determine
the annual amount of cash dividends. However, the obligation to pay this annual
amount of dividend will arise only upon declaration. In the absence of additional
information, preferences shares are presumed to be noncumulative and
nonparticipating.
Illustration 2, VILLACORTA Company reported the following information
regarding its preference shares;
8% Preference share capital, P200 par P8,000,000
Share premium - preference 1,800,000
Subscribed share capital - preference 3,000,000

CASH DIVIDENDS - ALLOCATION TO ORDINARY AND PREFERENCE SHARES
In the previous section, the basic scenario of preference share dividends has been
discussed. However, the actual amount of preference dividends will depend on its
features as follows:
Feature Description — a wis Ses
Cumulative Preference shares are also entitled to annual amount of dividends
that are not declared in the prior periods (ie., dividends in
arrears), in addition to current period’s entitlement.
Participating | Generally, preference shares are entitled only to annual dividends
expressed as % of par value (i.e., nonparticipating). The remainder
of declared dividends is attributed to ordinary shares.
However, participating preference shares are also entitled to the
amounts in excess of the annual dividends based on the par
value.

These features of preference shares are best illustrated together with ordinary
shares.

Illustration 3. As of December 31, 2023, USOP Company reported the following


components of its shareholders’ equity:
9% Preference share capital, P100 par P3,200,000
Ordinary share capital, P20 par 5,600,000
Share premium - ordinary 1,200,000
Share premium - preference 800,000
Treasury shares ~ ordinary, 30,000 shares 750,000
Treasury shares - preference, 2,000 shares 240,000
On this date, P2,000,000 cash dividends were declared to ordinary and preference
shares. The last time that the Company paid dividends was during the year 2020.
Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the dividends
allocated to ordinary shares and preference shares:
1. Preference shares are noncumulative and nonparticipating
2. Preference shares are cumulative but nonparticipating

4. Preference shares are cumulative and participating


Before answering each scenario, the par value of preference and ordinary shares
that are entitled to dividends (i.e., outstanding shares) are determined as follows:
Preference Ordinary Total
Par value of issued shares P3,200,000 5,600,000 P8,800,000
Less: Par value of treasury shares -

Total par value of outstanding shares — P3,000,000 5,000,000 P8,000,000

Scenario 1 - Preference Shares are Noncumulative and Nonparticipating


Preference shares are entitled only to the annual dividend for the year 2023. The
rest of the dividends will be given to ordinary shareholders:

Scenario 2 - Preference Shares are Cumulative and Nonparticipating


Preference shares are entitled to the unpaid dividends for the years 2021 and 2022
(i.e., 2 years), and for the current year 2023. The rest is given to the ordinary
shareholders.

Scenario 3 - Preference Shares are Noncumulative and Participating


Preference shares are not entitled to the unpaid dividends for the years 2021 and
2022. However, because of participating feature, these shares will now have a
share in the excess dividend after giving the ordinary shares an equivalent annual
dividend based on preference rate (i.e., 9%), The allocation of the excess is based on
the relative total par values of preference and ordinary shares.

PROPERTY DIVIDENDS
An entity may also declare noncash dividends in case the cash balance is insufficient
and impractical for a cash dividend declaration or that the existing noncash assets
cannot be realized in cash immediately. In case there are property dividends, the
following are the accounting procedures to be applied for the dividends payable
and for the noncash asset to be distributed:

At each reporting date and on the date of settlement, update the


dividend payable amount to reflect the fair value of the noncash asset

the fair value of the related noncash asset (i.e., not considering the
estimated costs to distribute).

The readers are advised to be vigilant in applying accounting standards


by thoroughly checking the scope and scope limitations of each
standard. PFRS 5 only applies to noncurrent assets.

Illustration 4 - Noncash Asset Within the Scope of PFRS 5. On November 15,


2023, DOLOR Company declared unused items of equipment as property dividends
to its shareholders to be paid on January 15, 2024. Total carrying amount of the
items of equipment is P6,000,000. Fair value and estimated costs of distribution are
the following:
Costs to Fair value less
Date Fair value distribute costs to distribute
11/15/23 P5,900,000 P300,000 P5,600,000

01/15/24 5,400,000 220,000 5,180,000

On November 15, 2023, on the date of declaration, the following entries shall be
made:

Retained earnings 5,900,000


Property dividends payable 5,900,000
Asset held for distribution 5,600,000
Impairment loss (P6M - P5.6M) 400,000
Equipment, net 6,000,000
It should be noted that in measuring the dividends payable, the amount of costs
to distribute is ignored. This will be used only in the measurement of the
equipment to be distributed (i.e., lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs
to distribute) since it is within the scope of PFRS 5. In addition, the carrying amount
of the equipment is reclassified to a different account to indicate that it is indeed for
distribution as property dividend.
On December 31, 2023, the following entries shall be made:

Property dividends payable 200,000


Retained earnings (P5.9M - P5.7M) 200,000
Impairment loss (P5.6M - P5.45M) 150,000
Asset held for distribution 150,000
The amount of dividends payable decreased since there is a decrease in the fair
value of the equipment. In addition, there is also a decrease in fair value less costs
to distribute resulting to the recognition of additional impairment loss on the
equipment.

On January 15, 2024, before recording the distribution of equipment for the
payment of dividends payable, the following entries shall be made to update the
carrying amounts:
Property dividends payable 300,000
Retained earnings (P5.7M - P5.4M) 300,000

Impairment loss (P5.45M - P5.18M) 270,000


Asset held for distribution 270,000
After updating the amounts, dividends payable will have a balance of P5,400,000,
while the equipment will have carrying amount of P5,180,000. The entry to record
the distribution (or settlement) on January 15, 2024 is as follows:
Property dividends payable 5,400,000
Asset held for distribution 5,180,000
Gain on distribution of dividends 220,000

The gain shall be recognized in profit or loss, The overall effects of these entries to
retained earnings are summarized as follows:

Illustration 5 - Noncash Asset Outside the Scope of PFRS 5. Due to cash


constraints, on December 1, 2023, MERCADER Company declared its investment in
equity securities of another entity as property dividends to be paid on January 31,
2024. On that date, the investments had carrying amount of P8,000,000 and was
classified as financial asset at FVTPL. Fair value information related to these equity
securities is as follows:
[A] [B] Costs to [A] - [B] Fair value
Date Fair value distribute — less costs to distribute
12/01/23 ~—-P7,500,000 P400,000 P7,100,000

01/31/24 7,800,000 430,000 7,370,000

On December 1, 2023, the date of declaration, the following entries shall be made:
Retained earnings 7,500,000
Property dividends payable 7,500,000

Unrealized loss - PL (P8M - P7.5M) 500,000


Financial asset at FVTPL 500,000

Again, the dividends payable shall ignore the amount of costs to distribute. As
to the financial asset at FVTPL, costs to distribute are also ignored since the
financial asset shall be measured using the provisions of PFRS 9 (recognition
of changes in fair value at profit or loss) and not under PFRS 5 since financial
assets are explicitly excluded from the scope of PFRS 5. Accounting for financial
assets at FVTPL has been discussed in the Volume 1 of this Intermediate Accounting
series.
On December 31, 2023, the following entries shall be made:
Retained earnings (P8.2M - P7,5M) 700,000
Property dividends payable 700,000
Financial asset at FVTPL 700,000
Unrealized Gain - PL(P8.2M-P7.5M) 700,000
The amount of dividends payable increased since there is an increase in the fair
value of the financial asset at FVTPL. That increase in fair value is also reflected

in the carrying amount of the financial asset at FVTPL. Again, costs to distribute are
ignored.

On January 31, 2024, before recording the distribution of investment for the
payment of dividends payable, the following entries shall be made to update the
carrying amounts:
Property dividends payable 400,000
Retained earnings (P8.2M - P7.8M) 400,000
Unrealized loss - PL (P8.2M - P7,8M) 400,000
Financial asset at FVTPL 400,000

After updating the amounts, both the dividends payable and financial asset at
FVTPL have balance of P8,200,000. The entry to record the distribution is as
follows:
Property dividends payable 8,200,000
Financial asset at FVTPL 8,200,000

No gain or loss on distribution was recognized since the dividends payable and
financial asset at FVTPL have the same carrying amounts on the date of distribution.
The overall effects of these entries to retained earnings are summarized as follows:

SHARE DIVIDENDS
Aside from cash and noncash assets, an entity may also issue additional shares to
its existing shareholders, without receiving any proceeds, in the form of share
dividends (also called “bonus issue”). The number of share dividends to be issued
is normally stated as a percentage of outstanding shares (issued plus subscribed,
less treasury shares).
The effect of the share dividend transaction is simply a transfer of amount from
retained earnings to the contributed capital. As such, the declaration and subsequent
distribution of share dividends will have no effect in total shareholders’ equity.
However, the amount of transfer will depend whether the share dividend is “large”
or “small”:

Illustration 6. On July 1, 2023, CAMPOSANO Company declared share dividends


for its P20 par value ordinary shares to be distributed on August 31, 2023. On the
same date, 500,000 of these shares were issued and that 20,000 of these issued
shares are in the treasury. Also, on the same date, fair value of the shares amounted
to P25/share. Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios,
determine the journal entries on the date of declaration and distribution:
1. 10% share dividends were declared
2. 15% share dividends were declared
3. 30% share dividends were declared
Scenario 1 - 10% Share Dividends
Total number of share dividends to be distributed is 48,000 shares [10% x (500,000
shares - 20,000 shares]. Since the percentage is lower than 20%, the declaration
will be considered as small share dividends (i.e., based on P25 fair value). Entry to
be made on July 1, 2023 is as follows:

Scenario 2 - 15% Share Dividends
Total number of share dividends to be distributed is 72,000 shares [15% x (500,000

the declaration will be considered as small share dividends (i.e., based on P25 fair
value). Entry to be made on July 1, 2023 is as follows:

Retained earnings (72,000 x P25) 1,800,000

Scenario 3 - 30% Share Dividends
Total number of share dividends to be distributed is 144,000 shares or [30% x
(500,000 shares - 20,000 shares)}. Since percentage is higher than 20%, the
declaration will be considered as large share dividends (i.e. based on P20 par
value). Entry to be made on July 1, 2023 is as follows:
Retained earnings (144,000x P20) 2,880,000

There is no increase in share premium since the share dividends were measured at
their par value.

LIQUIDATING DIVIDENDS
Unlike the other types of dividends (cash, property and share), which represents
return ON investment, liquidating dividends represent the return OF contributed
capital made by the shareholders. These can be made during liquidation or when
the entity is a wasting asset entity. The pro-forma entries on the date of declaration
and payment in recording this type of dividends are the following, respectively:

Share premium 1,000,000
Retained earnings 4,000,000
Treasury shares (P38 cost per share) 380,000
During the year 2023, the Company had the following equity transactions in
chronological order:
¢ January 20, 2023 - 20,000 ordinary shares were issued at P40 per share.
e February 10, 2023 - cash dividends of P1.50 per share were declared and were
paid shortly after.

e November 30, 2023 - cash dividends of P2.00 per share were declared and were
paid shortly after.
e December 31, 2023 - The Company reported net income of P1,500,000.
Required: From the given information, determine balance of the retained earnings
as of December 31, 2023.
In this case, the first step is to determine the number of outstanding shares as of
each date of declaration of dividends:
Issued shares (P3M/P30) 100,000
Less: Treasury shares (P380,000/P38) (10,000)
Outstanding shares, (01/01/23 - 01/19/23) 90,000
Add: Shares issued (01/20/23) 20,000
Outstanding shares (01/20/23 - 04/29/23) 110,000
Add: 10% share dividends on 4/30 (110,000x 10%) 11,000
Outstanding shares (04/30/23 - 09/30/23) 121,000
Add: 30% share dividends on 10/01 (121,00 x 30%)
0 36,300
Outstanding shares (10/01/23 - 12/31/23) 157,300
Using the relevant numbers of shares, the balance of retained earnings as of
December 31, 2023 is determined as follows:
Beginning balance, 01/01/23 P4,000,000
Less: 02/10/23 cash dividends (P1.50x 110,000) (165,000)
04/30/23 small share dividends (P42 x 11,000) (462,000)
06/15/23 cash dividends (P1.80 x 121,000) (217,800)
10/01/23 large share dividends (P30 x 36,300) (1,089,000)
11/30/23 cash dividends (P2.00 x 157,300) (314,600)
Add: Net income, 2023 1,500,000
Ending balance, 12/31/23 P3,251,600

APPROPRIATION OF RETAINED EARNINGS


Appropriation of retained earnings means that a portion of the cumulative net
income earned by an entity is not available to be distributed as dividends due to a
variety of reasons, such as the following:
1. Legal - restrictions that are required by laws and regulations, such as those
arising from treasury shares and quasi-reorganization (will be discussed in the
next section). For treasury shares, the amount to be appropriated shall be equal
to the cost of purchase from shareholders.
2. Contractual - restrictions arising from agreement with other parties, such as
covenants from loan agreements.
3. Voluntary - restrictions arising from and entity's internal decisions, such as
earmarking for the purchase or construction of long-term assets, and self
insurance.
576

The
The Book
Book R̶Readexs-Raiders

Chapter 15A - Shareholders’ Equity - Retained Earnings

There is an inverse relationship between the unrestricted retained earnings and


the appropriated retained earnings. Increase in appropriations will decrease the
unrestricted retained earnings while decrease in appropriations will increase the
unrestricted retained earnings.
Nevertheless, both the unappropriated and appropriated retained earnings
form the total amount of retained earnings. Transfers between these categories
do not affect the balance of total retained earnings and total shareholders’ equity.
It should be noted that, appropriation does not mean that a separate fund has been
established nor the existence of a separately established fund automatically results
to appropriation of retained earnings.
Illustration 8 - Appropriation for Treasury Shares. On September 1, 2023,
LAURETA Company acquired 50,000 P20 par value ordinary shares from its
shareholders at P42/share. On December 15, 2023, 30,000 of these shares were
sold for P45/share.
On September 1, 2023, the following entries shall be made:
Treasury shares (50,000 x P42) 2,100,000
Cash 2,100,000

Retained earnings 2,100,000


Appropriated retained earnings 2,100,000

On December 15, 2023, the following entries shall be made:


Cash (30,000x P45) 1,350,000
Treasury shares (30,000 x P42) 1,260,000
Share premium - treasury 90,000

Appropriated retained earnings 1,260,000


Retained earnings (30,000 x P42) 1,260,000

At the end of the year, the amount of appropriated retained earnings related to
treasury shares will have a balance of P840,000 (or 20,000 x P42), or equal to the
cost of the remaining treasury shares.
Illustration 9 - Comprehensive. At the beginning of 2023, SIMBULAN Company
reported information related to its total retained earnings:
Retained earnings - unappropriated P15,000,000
Appropriated retained earnings for self-insurance 2,500,000
Appropriated retained earnings for factory construction 4,000,000
Total retained earnings, 1/1/23 P21,500,000
During the year the following transactions were summarized:

577

The
The Book R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ Raiders
Book Readexs- Raiders || Nevule
Nevule cs CamScanner
Chapter 15A - Shareholders’ Equity - Retained Earnings

a. Net income amounted to P3,200,000 while dividends declaration amounted to


P1,800,000.
b. Due to the increase in the properties acquired, self-insurance appropriation will
be increased by P500,000.
c. The construction of the factory was completed and no appropriation is needed.
d. Treasury shares were acquired for a total cost of P800,000. None of these were
resold by year-end.
In this case, the balance of retained earnings - unappropriated as the end of 2023
is computed as follows:
Retained earnings -
unappropriated
Dividends declared | _ 1,800,000 | 15,000,000 | Beginning balance
Increase in self-insurance 500,000 | 3,200,000 | Profit
appropriation
Increase in appropriation due 800,000 | 4,000,000 | Decrease in the factory
to purchase of treasury shares appropriation
Ending balance (squeeze) | 19,100,000
Totals (should be equal) | 22,200,000 | 22,200,000

Total retained earnings has the following components at year-end:


Retained earnings unappropriated (computed above) P19,100,000
Appropriated retained earnings for self-insurance (P2.5M + P500K) 3,000,000
Appropriated retained earnings for treasury shares 800,000
Total retained earnings, 12/31/23 P22,900,000
Less: Total retained earnings, 1/1/23 21,500,000
Net increase (also equal to P3.2M net income less P1.8M dividends) P1,400,000

This only shows that transfers between unappropriated and appropriated portions
of retained earnings do not have an impact on a total retained earnings basis.

QUASI-REORGANIZATION
Quasi-reorganization is a process in which an entity wipes out the excessive amount
of deficit (negative) balance in its retained earnings, which will bring a “brand new”
start for an entity. There are two major methods in wiping out the deficit in the
retained earnings:
Method | Procedures ee oes SS ;
Reduction of | Par value of shares are reduced to increase the amount of share
par value premium (additional paid in capital), From this increased share
premium, the deficit in retained earnings will be wiped out.
Revaluation | Properties, especially land and building, with higher fair values
of properties | relative to their carrying amounts, are to be revalued upwards,
resulting to amounts of revaluation surplus, From this revaluation
surplus, the deficit in retained earnings will be wiped out.

Chapter 15A - Shareholders’ Equity - Retained Earnings

It should be noted that regardless of the method applied, the assets and liabilities
shall be measured at their fair values on the date of quasi-reorganization. Any
adjustment to the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities to measure them
at their values will directly affect the amount of deficit in retained earnings.
The amount of wiped-out deficit in retained earnings shall not be available for
dividends declaration, even if the entity subsequently reports a positive balance
in its retained earnings.

Illustration 10 - Reduction of Par Value. ALFONSO Company reported the


following balances as of December 31, 2023:
Cash P3,000,000
Receivables 4,000,000
Inventories 8,000,000
Property, plant and equipment 25,000,000

Share premium 3,000,000
Retained earnings (deficit) (12,000,000)
Total equity P26,000,000

The Company's plan for quasi-reorganization, which has been approved on the
same date, contained the following provisions:
a. Reduction of par value to P30. Any final amount of deficit in retained earnings
shall be charged to the increased share premium.
b. Writing-down receivables and inventories to their fair values of P3,500,000 and
P7,000,000, respectively.
c. Property, plant, and equipment have total fair value of P27,000,000. Liabilities’
carrying amount is the same with their fair value.

The reduction of par value is recorded as follows:


Share capital [(P50 - P30)x 700K] 14,000,000
Share premium 14,000,000

Entries updating the carrying amounts of the assets (directly closed to retained
earnings) are the following:
Retained earnings 500,000
Receivables (P4M - P3.5M) 500,000
Retained earnings 1,000,000
Inventories (P8M - P7M) 1,000,000

Property, plant and equipment 2,000,000


Retained earnings (P27M - P25M) 2,000,000

After updating the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities, retained earnings
will now have a deficit balance of P11,500,000 (P12,000,000 + P500,000 +
P1,000,000 - P2,000,000). To wipe out this deficit, the following entry shall be made:
Share premium 11,500,000
Retained earnings 11,500,000

After the reorganization, the Company’s balance sheet will now show the following
balances:

Total equity P26,500,000

Query: If, during 2024 ALFONSO Company earned P15,000,000 net income, how
much of this amount is available for declaration as dividends?

In this case, only P3,500,000 (P15M - P11.5M) is declarable as dividends since the
total P11,500,000 deficit that was wiped during the quasi-reorganization is not

The Company’s approved quasi-reorganization plan contained the following


procedures:
a. The land shall be revalued upwards to its current value of P27,000,000. The
resulting revaluation surplus will absorb the final deficit amount in the retained
earnings.
b. Current assets have fair value of P9,200,000 while other long-term assets have
P16,000,000 fair value.
c. Liabilities have fair value of P30,000,000 (i.e., unchanged).
The revaluation of land is recorded as follows:
Land [(P27M - P15M) 12,000,000
Revaluation surplus 12,000,000
Entries updating the carrying amounts of the assets (directly closed to retained
earnings) are the following:
Retained earnings 800,000
Current assets (P10M - P9.2M) 800,000
Retained earnings 1,000,000
Other long-term assets (P17M - P16M) 1,000,000

After updating the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities, retained earnings
will now have a deficit balance of P11,800,000 (P10,000,000 + P800,000 +
P1,000,000). To wipe out this deficit, the following entry shall be made:
Revaluation surplus 11,800,000
Retained earnings 11,800,000

After the reorganization, the Company's balance sheet will show the following
balances:
Current assets P9,200,000
Land 27,000,000
Other long-term assets 16,000,000
Total assets P52,200,000
Total liabilities P30,000,000
Share capital, P10 par P20,000,000

Query: If during the remainder of 2023 and for the year 2024, JOCSON Company
earned net income of P4,000,000 and P12,000,000, respectively, how much of these
amounts is available for declaration as dividends?

In this case, only P4,200,000 (P4M + P12M - P11.8M) is declarable as dividends since

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Retained earnings represent the total net income (loss) earned (incurred) by an
entity less the total dividends it declared over its operating life so far.
2. If an entity incurred excessive loses to the point where its retained earnings is
negative, this negative amount is called accumulated losses (this account has debit
balance).
3. Total retained earnings is composed of unappropriated and appropriated portions.
4. The unappropriated portion of the retained earnings is available for distribution to
shareholders and is affected by the following transactions (credits increase its
balance while debits decrease its balance):
Retained earnings -
unappropriated
Loss XX XX Beginning balance
Dividends declaration xX XX Profit
Direct transfers of OCI loss xx XX Direct transfers of OCI gain
items (e-g., unrealized losses in items (e.g., revaluation surplus,
FVTOCI assets) unrealized gains)
Increase in appropriation xx xx Decrease in appropriation
Amounts charged, if any, from XX XX Prior period error correction
retirement of shares with increasing effect
Amounts charged, if any, from xx
reissuance of treasury shares
below the purchase cost
Prior period error correction XX
with decreasing effect
Ending balance (squeeze) XX
Totals (should be equal) XX XX
5. An entity may choose, but has no obligation, to declare cash, property, share or
liquidating dividends.
6. Only those outstanding shares are entitled to dividends (issued plus subscribed, less
treasury shares).
7. Cash dividends involve returns to shareholders that were paid in cash. It is usually
stated at dividends per ordinary share or as percentage of par value for preference
shares.
8. The total amount of dividends that preference shares can receive will depend
whether it is cumulative and/or participating.
a. Cumulative means that the undeclared preference dividends in the prior years
shall still be paid upon actual dividend declaration.
b. Participating means that the preference shares can share in excess of dividends
on top of the annual preference dividend rate.

9. Property dividends involve the distribution of noncash assets to shareholders. The


dividend payable is measured equal to the fair value of the noncash asset to be
distributed.
10. Share dividends involve the distribution of an entity's own shares as dividends, The
amount to be deducted from the retained earnings will depend on the following:
a. If it is a small share dividend (less than 20%), the amount to be deducted is
based on the shares’ fair value.
b. If itisa large share dividend (at least 20%), the amount to be deducted is based
on the shares’ par value.
11. Liquidating dividends represent the return OF investment rather than return ON
investment. These amounts are recorded in a “capital liquated” account which
considered as a contra-equity account.
12. Appropriation of retained earnings may arise from legal requirements, contractual
requirements, or from voluntary restrictions.
13. There is an inverse relationship between the unrestricted retained earnings and the
appropriated retained earnings. Increase in appropriations will decrease the
unrestricted retained earnings while decrease in appropriations will increase the
unrestricted retained earnings.
14. Quasi-reorganization is a process in which an entity wipes out the excessive amount
of deficit (negative) balance in its retained earnings, which will bring a “brand new”
start for an entity.
15.Quasi-reorganization may be facilitated by: (a) reduction in the share capital to
increase the share premium; or (b) upward revaluation of long-term assets.
16. The total amount of deficit that was wiped out during the quasi-organization shall
not be available for dividend declaration moving forward.

CHAPTER 16
EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE-BASED PAYMENT
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


i. The measurement of services provided by non-employees and those provided
by employees.
2. The different types of vesting conditions.
a The recognition of equity-settled share-based payments if there are no vesting
conditions and if there are vesting conditions.
4. The estimation of compensation expense to be recognized for each year.
5 The accounting for the changes in the estimate of compensation expense.
6. The accounting for the modification of share-based payment.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT


Share-based payment arrangement is an agreement between the entity and
another party (e.g., a supplier or employee) that entitles the entity to receive goods
and services by transferring to the other party either of the following:
a. equity instrument (e.g., ordinary or preference shares) of the entity (i.e.,
equity-settled share-based payment); or
b. cash or other assets of the entity for amounts that are based on the price (or
value) of the entity's equity instruments (i.e. cash-settled share-based
payment). This will be discussed in the succeeding chapter.

EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE-BASED PAYMENT - A PRIMER


As previously mentioned in Chapter 15, an entity may acquire goods or services by
issuing its own equity instruments. For the services received, the accounting
procedures will depend on whether the services are provided by employees or third
parties (i.e., non-employees):

Proceeds Measurement of services

Chapter 16 — Equity-Settled Share-Based Payment

The focus of this chapter is on the accounting for the equity-settled share-based
payment involving the services provided by employees.

EMPLOYEE EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS


Shares or other equity instruments (e.g., share options) may be given to employees
as part of their compensation package as additional compensation. These are given
to the employees to motivate them by realizing that their efforts will be ultimately
reflected in the market value of the equity securities they are holding.
Fair value information related to the employee services is usually not readily
available since the discussion of salary and other pay information is usually
considered as taboo. As a result, the value of employee services is measured by
reference to the fair value of the related equity instruments given to them.

ACCOUNTING FOR EMPLOYEE EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS


In connection with an employee equity-settled share-based payment plans, an
entity recognizes compensation expense (unless qualifies as an asset) and a
corresponding increase in equity as its employees render services. This is shown
in the following pro-forma journal entry:
Compensation expense XX
Share premium - share options XX

If the equity instrument granted is an actual share of stock, the credit would be on
share capital and in share premium, if applicable.
value
The employees’ services shall be measured by reference to the fair of the
equity instruments on the grant date. [PFRS 2.11]. This is the date at which the
entity and its employees agree to the terms and conditions of a share-based
payment arrangement. Fair values of equity instruments on subsequent dates
are generally ignored.
However, the amount of compensation expense per period shall depend on
whether or not the grant of equity instruments is subject to vesting
condition(s). Vesting conditions are described as follows:
Vesting Condition
A vesting condition determines whether the employees are ultimately entitled to the
equity instruments (i.e, to vest or when the employees’ entitlement becomes
unconditional). This can be either a service condition or a performance condition.

The readers should take note that the computations will depend on the conditions
agreed by the counterparties. As a result, the readers are hereby advised to
thoroughly understand the conditions and their accounting consequences.
Illustration 1. On January 1, 2023, GERVACIO Company granted 10,000 share
options to each member of its senior management team composed of 10 managers.
The options have fair value of P12/option and exercise price of P60/share. Fair
value of the Company’s P50 par value shares on that date is P75/share. It is reliably
estimated that all of the share options will vest. The share options have the
following fair values as of December 31 of each year: 2023, P15/option; 2024,
P18/option; and 2025, P16/option. Required: Under each of the following
independent scenarios, determine the amount. of compensation expense to be
recognized each year:
1. The share options vest immediately
2. The share options will vest after two-year service period
3. The share options will vest after three-year service period
Scenario 1
Since there are no vesting conditions, the value of the services shall be considered
expensed in full in 2023 and shall be based on the P12 fair value of each share
option on the grant date. Compensation expense of P1,200,000 (P12 x 10,000 share
optionsx 10 managers) shall be recorded as expense in 2023 as follows:
Compensation expense 1,200,000
Share premium - share options 1,200,000
It should be noted that the P75/share fair value of shares was not be used since share
options were granted to the employees (i.e, not the actual shares of stock). In
addition, in all scenarios in this illustration, the subsequent fair values of the
share options shall be ignored.
Scenario 2
The total compensation expense of P1,200,000 computed in Scenario 1 shall be
used, except that it shall be allocated over the next two-year vesting period (in 2023
and 2024). Journal entry to be made in 2023 is as follows:
Compensation expense (P1.2M/2) 600,000
Share premium - share options 600,000
Journal entry to be made in 2024 is as follows:
Compensation expense (P1.2M/2) 600,000
Share premium - share options 600,000
On the vesting date of December 31, 2024, the share premium - share options
account shall have P1,200,000 balance.

Scenario 3
The total compensation expense of P1,200,000 computed in Scenario 1 shall be
used, except that it shall be allocated over the next three-year vesting period (in
2023, 2024, and 2025). Journal entry to be made every December 31 of the years
2023, 2024, and 2025 is as follows:
Compensation expense (P1.2M/3) 400,000
Share premium - share options 400,000

Over the vesting period, the amounts that were recognized are summarized as
follows:
Compensation Share premium - share
Year expense options balance
2023 P400,000 P400,000
2024 400,000 800,000
2025 400,000 1,200,000

Generalizations — All Scenarios


he cumulative amoun mpensation expense recognized up to date is equal to th
balance of the share premium - share options account. In addition, the recording of
compensation expense, with corresponding credit to share premium, does not
affect the total amount of shareholders’ equity. The reason is that equal amounts
are recognized as compensation expense (deduction from retained earnings
through profit or loss) and as increase in share premium.

ACCOUNTING FOR THE EXERCISE OF VESTED SHARE OPTIONS


After the vesting date, the employees may exercise the share options to their liking,
provided that it is within the agreed exercise period. Generally, no amounts of
compensation expense are recognized during the exercise period. This can be
summarized as follows:

In cases where the share options were not exercised within the designated exercise
period, the balance of share premium - share options may be transferred to other
equity accounts (e.g., share premium - others).

Illustration 2. Going back to GERVACIO Company (Illustration 1), on vesting date


where the balance of share premium - share options amounted to P1,200,000, a
number of employees immediately exercised their share options. As a recap, each
of the 10 employees can purchase 10,000 of the Company’s P50 par value shares at
P60/share Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios,
determine the journal entry to record the exercise of share options:
1. All ten employees exercise the share options
2. Only six employees exercise the share options

Scenario 1
The entry to be made by the Company to record the full exercise is as follows:

Cash (10,000x 10 x P60) 6,000,000


Share premium - share options 1,200,000
Share capital (10,000 x 10 x P50) 5,000,000
Share premium - issuance 2,200,000

It should be noted that each of the ten employees can purchase 10,000 shares at
P60/share exercise price. All of the balance of the share premium - share options
were included in the issuance since all employees exercised the share options.

Scenario 2
The entry to be made by the Company to record the partial exercise is as follows:
Cash (10,000 x 6 x P60) - 3,600,000
Share premium - share options
(P1,200,000 x 6/10) 720,000
Share capital (10,000 x 6 x P50) 3,000,000
Share premium - issuance 1,320,000

It should be noted that only a portion of the share premium - share options was
included in the issuance since not all employees exercise the share options. The
excluded amount shall be included in the issuance when these remaining four
employees exercise their share options.

ILLUSTRATIONS - CHANGES IN THE NUMBER COMPONENT


Illustration 3 - Employee Turnover. At the start of 2023, MANLAPAZ Company
instituted an additional compensation scheme to its 450 employees in the form of
share options. Each employee is entitled to 200 share options which allow them to
purchase 200 of the Company’s P25 par value ordinary shares at P30/share. During
this time, the Company’s shares have fair value of P45/share and the share options
have fair value of P6/option. To be entitled to the share options, the employees
should still be employed in the Company for the next three years.
Originally, the Company estimated that a total of 420 employees will ultimately be
entitled to the share options. On December 31, 2024, this estimate was revised to
440 employees. By December 31, 2025, the date of vesting of the share options, 425
employees actually became entitled to the share options. On this date, the shares
have fair value of P5S/share and the share options have fair value of P8/option.
The amounts of compensation expense per year during the vesting period are
computed as follows:
Share premium - Comp.
FVof Expected no. share options, expense
share of options to ending balance = during
Year options vest (cum. comp.exp.) the year
2023 P6.00 84K (420x200) P168K [(P6x 84K)x1/3] P168,000 (P168K- PO)
2024 P6.00 88K (440x200) P352K [(P6x 88K)x2/3] P184,000 (P352K- P168K)
2025 P6.00 85K (425x200) P510K [(P6x 85K)x 3/3] _P158,000 (P510K - P352K)
Total compensation expense P510,000
Note: cum. comp. exp. means cumulative compensation expense.

Again, the P6 fair value of share options as of the grant date shall be used in the
computations all throughout the vesting period. In addition, the changes in the
estimate and in the actual number of vested options are adjusted to the amount of the
compensation expense during the period of change (i.e., catch-up adjustment) and
shall not affect the previously reported amounts.
Journal entry to record compensation expense during 2023 is as follows:
Compensation expense 168,000
Share premium - share options 168,000
Journal entry to record compensation expense during 2024 is as follows:
Compensation expense 184,000
Share premium - share options 184,000
Journal entry to record compensation expense during 2025 is as follows:

Assuming that on January 15, 2026, 220 employees exercised the share options, the
following journal entry shall be made to record the exercise:
Cash (220 x 200 x P30) 1,320,000
Share premium - share options
(P510,000 x 220/425) 264,000
Share capital (220 x 200 x P25) 1,100,000
Share premium - issuance 484,000

Illustration 4 - Tiered Number of Equity Instruments. On January 1, 2023,


CABRAL Company granted a total of 200,000 share options to purchase 200,000,
P20 par value ordinary shares of the Company at the exercise price of P40/share to
the executive members of its marketing department. The condition is that these
executives shall remain in employ in the Company for the next four years. Fair value
of the share options as of this date amounted to P5/option.
In addition, the number of share options to be granted will increase depending on
the average level of sales generated over the vesting period:
Average sales Number of share options to be granted
more than P15 million 300,000
P10 million to P15 million 250,000
less than P10 million 200,000

It is expected that none of the marketing executives will resign before the end of the
vesting period. For the year 2023, the total sales amounted to P9.50 million and that
level is expected to be maintained for the rest of the vesting period.
For the year 2024, total sales reached P14 million due to the strong marketing
efforts that are expected to benefit the remaining vesting period. Same amounts of
revenues are reasonably expected to be earned for the rest of the vesting period.
For the year 2025, total sales amounted to P19 million due to increase in the
number of long-term government procurement contracts entered into by the
marketing division. That same amount is expected to be earned in 2026. For the
year 2026, the actual amount of sales reached P17 million.
For this type of provided information, it is important to first compute for the
amount of average sales that the Company is expecting based on the combination of
actual data and estimates of future sales amounts, divided by the four-year vesting
period. This is to determine the corresponding number of share options expected to
be granted to the employees:

ILLUSTRATION - CHANGES IN THE PERIOD COMPONENT


Illustration 5. At the beginning of 2023, ZULUETA Company granted 300,000 share
options with fair value of P9/option to its employees. These options will vest at the
time the Company will earn at least P100 million aggregate net income from 2023
onwards. In addition, the employees must be employed on the vesting date to
become entitled to the share options.

For the year 2023, the Company earned P60 million net income and expects to earn
a similar amount in 2024. As a result, the Company expects that the options will vest
in 2024. It is also expected that only 96% (i.e., 288,000) of the share options will
ultimately vest.
For the year 2024, because of an economic downturn, the Company only earned
P30 million, thus, the options did not vest during that year (i.e., only an aggregate
P90 million net income from 2023 to 2024). In addition, it is expected that only 90%
(i.e., 270,000) of the share options will ultimately vest in 2025. For the year 2025,
the Company earned P45 million, thus meeting the performance condition,
resulting to the vesting of the 92% (i.e., 276,000) of the share options.
The amounts of compensation expense per year, during the vesting period are
computed as follows:
Expected Share premium - Comp.
no. of share options, expense
options ending balance during the
Year FV to vest (cum. comp. exp.) year
2023 P9 288,000 P1,296K [(P9x288K)x1/2] 1,296,000 (P1,296K - PQ)

Total compensation expense P2,484,000

The readers should take note that the much smaller amount of compensation
expense for 2024 is due to the extension of the expected vesting period until 2025.
Journal entry to record compensation expense during 2023 is as follows:
Compensation expense 1,296,000

ILLUSTRATIONS - CHANGES IN THE VALUE COMPONENT

granted 60,000 share options to its employees covering the purchase of 50,000 P10
par value ordinary shares of the Company. The exercise price will change
depending on the average return on investment (ROI) together with the
corresponding grant date fair value of share options:

The average ROI is measured over the next three years. In addition, the employees
are also required to remain in the employ of the Company over the vesting period.
It is expected that all of the share options will vest in 2025,

For the year 2023, the Company reported ROI of 26% and expects to maintain that
level for the next two years. For the year 2024, the Company reported an ROI of
21% due to a downturn in economic activity which is expected to persist until 2025,
For 2025, actual ROI reached 20%. Actual. number of vested share options
numbered 55,000 due to the sudden and unexpected resignation of some
employees.

For this type of provided information, it is important to first compute for the
amount of average ROI that the Company is expecting based on the combination of
actual data and estimates of future ROI in order to determine the corresponding
exercise price for the share options and the relevant fair value to be used in the
computations:

Actual and Expected Expected Corresponding

2024 26%+21%+21% 22.67% 30 6
2025 26%+21%+20% 22.33% 30 6
Note: Percentages in bold italic are estimates made during the year indicated. For the year 2025,
the average ROI is already the actual average ROI from 2023 to 2025. In addition, even though the
fair value of options changes depending on the exercise price, these fair values were all determined
as of grant date.

The amounts of compensation expense per year during the vesting period are
computed as follows:
Expected Share premium - Comp.

ACCOUNTING WHEN SHARE OPTIONS’ FAIR VALUE IS NOT DETERMINABLE


The previous illustrations assumed that the fair values of the share options are
reliably determinable. However, in real life, it is possible that the fair value of share
options is not reliably determinable. In this case, it is necessary to determine the
share options’ intrinsic value (i.e., use of intrinsic value method).
Intrinsic value is the difference between the fair value of the covered shares and
the exercise price of the share options, For the share options to have intrinsic value,
the fair value of the covered shares shall be higher than the exercise price of
the options.
Unlike in the previously discussed accounting procedures, the use of intrinsic value
method involves the updating of the “value component’ to reflect the changes
in the intrinsic value during the vesting period and during the exercise
period. In other words, when applying intrinsic value method, the amount of
intrinsic value used in the computations is not limited to its amount as of the
grant date and shall also consider the intrinsic values as of each reporting
date. In addition, it is also possible that intrinsic value can be zero.
In addition, as a way of exception to the general rule, compensation expense will
also be recognized during the exercise period. Depending on the period involved
in the calculation, the following computational procedures are relevant:

Based on these formulas, there will be additional expense (or debit to


expense) under the following circumstances:
1. End. intrinsic value > beg. intrinsic value; or
2. Intrinsic value as of exercise date > beg. intrinsic value;
Based on these formulas, there will be a reduction in expense (or credit

1. End. intrinsic value < beg. intrinsic value; or
2. Intrinsic value as of exercise date < beg. intrinsic value

Illustration 7. COLLADO Company granted 80,000 share options to its employees


on January 1, 2023. These share options cover 80,000 of the Company’s P100 par
value shares at an exercise price of P120/share. For the employees to become
entitled to the share options, they shall stay employed by the Company for the next
four years. After the four-year vesting period, the employees have additional three
years to exercise the share options.
As of the grant date, the share options’ fair value is not reliably determinable, thus,
necessitating the use of the intrinsic value method. Relevant data are the following:

The readers should take note of the following:

b. Amount debited for share premium - share options due to the exercise of share
options = no. of exercised share options x intrinsic value on exercise date.

FAILURE TO MEET VESTING CONDITIONS


As previously illustrated, the employees shall meet the vesting conditions, if any,
before they become entitled to the share options. However, not all vesting
conditions are ultimately met resulting to the forfeiture of some of the share options
(i.e., employees are not entitled to the share options). The accounting for forfeiture
depends on what vesting condition/s is(are) not met:

options with fair value of P12/option to its president. The conditions for the
president to become entitled to these share options are the following:
a. Service period of four years; and
b. At least P50 market value of the Company’s shares as of December 31, 2026

From 2023 to 2025, the following amounts for compensation expense and share
premium - share options were computed during the vesting period:

It should be noted that the amount reversed is equal to the cumulative amount of

Examples include decreasing exercise

and shortening of vesting period.

The increase or decrease in the fair value of equity instruments is determined by


comparing the equity instruments’ fair value right before and right after the
modification. In other words, the original fair value as of grant date shall not be
used in the comparison.

Illustration 9 - Beneficial Modification. At the beginning of 2023, FABIAN


Company granted a total of 30,000 share options to its management team members
for the purchase of 30,000 ordinary shares of the Company. As of that date, the fair
value of the shares amounted to P75/share and the exercise price is set at
P60/share. This resulted to a P10/option fair value for the share options.
To become entitled to the share options, the employees shall render four-year
service to the Company. It is expected that none of the grantees will resign over the
vesting period.

During 2025, the shares’ fair value unexpectedly dropped to P58/share making the
share options unappealing (i.e., exercise price is higher than the shares’ fair value).
As a result, on December 31, 2025, the Company decreased the exercise price to
P50/share. This modification increased the fair value of share options from
P2/option to P7 /option. These modified share options will vest over the next three
years.
Even though there is a modification, the amounts of compensation expense based
on the original grant date fair value shall not be affected at all (assuming that
no options will be forfeited and no changes in the estimate of options that will vest):

The modification resulted to an increase in the share option’s fair value amounting
to P5/option (P7 - P2). Again, the original grant date fair value of P10/option shall
not be considered in the comparison. Subsequent recognition of compensation
expense (for the next three years) from the modified share options is determined
as follows:

Combining these computations, the Company shall recognize the following


amounts of compensation expense:

2027 - 50,000 50,000
2028 - 50,000 50,000

It should be noted that the accounting for the modified equity instruments is
independent from the accounting for the original terms, and vice versa.

Illustration 10 - Non-Beneficial Modification. On January 1, 2023, ESTRELLA


Company granted 40,000 share options to its employees in exchange for a three-
year service period and a performance target that the average return on investment
(ROI) shall be at least 15% during the vesting period. Share options had fair value
of P15/option on the grant date.

For the year 2023, actual ROI reached 22% level, and as a result, the Company
modified the specific performance condition wherein the target ROI shall be at least
20% (i.e.,a higher ROI requirement), At the same time, because of the modification,
the share options’ fair value decreased from P11/option to P6/option. For 2024 and
2025, actual ROI level were 16% and 17%. Employees initially granted with 4,000
share options resigned during 2025,
In this scenario, despite the modification, the changes shall be ignored since the
modification is not beneficial to the employees (ie. tightening of specific
performance condition) and that there is a decrease in the fair value of the share
options. As a result, the following amounts of compensation expense shall still be
recognized over the vesting period (i.e, it is as if there is no modification):

Again, the decrease in the fair value of the share options shall be ignored.
CANCELLATION AND SETTLEMENT OF SHARE-BASED PAYMENT
If the cancellation (other than those arising from the forfeiture of share options due
to the failure to meet the vesting conditions) or settlement happened during the
vesting period, they are accounted for as an acceleration of vesting. As a result,
the entity shall recognize immediately the amounts that otherwise would have
been recognized for the services received for the remainder of the vesting period.
Any payment made to employees shall be considered as a direct deduction from
equity (i.e., no effect in profit or loss).

However, if the amount of payment > fair value of equity instruments measured
at the repurchase date, the difference shall be recognized as additional expense in
profit or loss. In other words, the carrying amount of the share premium -.share
options as of the repurchase date is not relevant in determining the amount of
additional expense to be recognized.
Illustration 11. At the beginning of 2023, BARCELONA Company granted 50,000
share options with fair value of P14/option to its chief executive officer (CEO). To
be entitled to the share options, the CEO shall stay with the Company for the next
five years.

However, due to the CEO’s old age, the Company decided to just cancel and settle
the share options during 2025. The amount of compensation expense to be
recognized during 2025 due to the acceleration of the vesting is computed as
follows:
Share premium-share Comp. exp

Year Value options (cum, comp. exp.) year

Based on the computations, the acceleration of vesting in 2025 is properly recorded

Compensation expense 420,000


Share premium - share options 420,000

After this entry, the share premium - share options will havea balance of P700,000.
Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the
journal entry to record the settlement of the share options:
1. The amount paid is P650,000, equal to the share options’ FV on that date.
2. The amount paid is P720,000, equal to the share options’ FV on that date.
3. The amount paid is P800,000, but share options’ FV on that date is only
P740,000.

Scenario 1
The entry to record the settlement is as follows:
Share premium - share options 700,000
Cash 650,000
Share premium - others (squeeze) 50,000
Since the amount of payment is equal to the share options’ fair value on that date,
the supposed “gain” of P50,000 is recognized directly in equity.

Scenario 2
The entry to record the settlement is as follows:
Share premium - share options 700,000
Retained earnings 20,000
Cash 720,000
Since the amount of payment is equal to the share options’ fair value on that date,
the supposed “loss” of P20,000 is recognized directly in equity. This is regardless of
the carrying amount of the share premium - share options. As long as the
settlement amount is equal to the share options’ fair value measured on the
repurchase date, no amount shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Scenario 3
The entry to record the settlement is as follows:
Share premium - share options 700,000
Compensation expense 60,000
Retained earnings 40,000
Cash 800,000

The amounts of recognized compensation expense and charged to retained


earnings are computed as follows:

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Share-based payments are classified as equity-settled and those that are liability-
settled.
Z Equity-settled share-based payments involve the transfer of equity securities (e.g.,
shares of stock, share options) to counterparties (e.g., suppliers, employees).
3: Employee services are measured by reference to the fair value of equity securities
recognized as of the grant date.
Employee compensation expense is determined using the following formula:
Compensation Expense = Value x Number x Period
If there are no vesting conditions/periods (i.e., the employees will be immediately
entitled to the securities), the grant date fair value of the securities shall be wholly
recognized during the period these securities were granted.
If there are vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the securities shall be
recognized over the duration of the vesting period.
Vesting conditions can be classified as service condition (being employed over a
certain period of time) or performance condition (can be market or nonmarket
condition).
Changes in the estimate of inputs to the computation shall be accounted for
prospectively (i.e., recorded prior period amounts shall not be restated).
In case the fair value of share options cannot be reliably measured, the intrinsic
value method shall be applied. Intrinsic value = fair value of the covered shares -
option exercise price.
10. Modification of share-based payment shall be recognized only when it increases the
fair value of the share options or otherwise advantageous to employees. The amount
of expenses based on the original terms shall still continue to be recognized in
addition to the accounting for the modified terms.
11.Settlement of share-based payment shall be recognized as an acceleration of vesting.

CHAPTER 16: SELF-TEST EXERCISES

True or False
1s Services provided by non-employees are initially measured at the fair value of such
services, if reliably determinable.
Z. Services provided by employees are initially measured by reference to the fair value
of the equity instruments.
3. The journal entry to record the recognition of compensation expense from share-
based payments will have a net decreasing effect to the shareholders’ equity.
Ifa share-based compensation to employees has no vesting conditions, the amount
of expense shall be fully recognized during the period of grant.
If a share-based compensation to employees has vesting conditions and the fair
value of equity securities is reliably determinable, the amount of expense shall be
recognized over both the vesting and exercise periods.
Market vesting conditions include the attainment of specified amount of net
income.
Performance conditions include both a service condition component and specific
target/s component.
The exercise of share options will increase the shareholders’ equity equal to the
amounts received plus the fair value of the share options on that date.
3. Changes in the estimate of compensation expense shall be recorded using catch up
adjustments.
10. There is an intrinsic value if the option exercise price is higher than the fair value
of the covered shares.

g. At the beginning of the year 2023, TOBY Company granted a total of 45,000 share
options to its employees. Each of these options will allow the holder to acquire one
of the Company’s P20 par value shares for P35 per share. To become fully entitled
to these options, the employees shall render a four-year service period. On the grant
date, the options had fair value of P10 per option, while the shares had fair value of
P36 per share. The Company expects that only 94% of the share options will vest
after the service period.
Fast forward to December 31, 2024, the share’s fair value has dropped to P25 per
share, drastically reducing the option’s fair value to P4 per option. Consequently, the
Company decided to decrease the exercise price to P24 per share, increasing the fair
value of the option to P7 per option. These options will vest on December 31, 2027.
The Company still expects that only 94% of the share options will vest after the

reach an average net income of P40 million per year during the same period. The
Company expects that only 95% of these options will vest.
On December 31, 2024, the Company decided to increase the required average net
income to P60 million per year. This resulted to the decrease in the fair value of the
share option to P3 per option. Due to this requirement, the Company changed its
estimate that only 90% of the share options will vest on the vesting date.
Required: Determine the amounts of the compensation expense to be recognized
from 2023 to 2025.

10.At the beginning of 2023, ANNIE Company granted a total of 300,000 share options
for the purchase of the Company's P30 par value ordinary shares for P50/share.
These shares will be coming from the unapproved application of the Company to
increase its authorized share capital. The Company is very positive that the approval
of the relevant regulatory body will be obtained for the increase in capitalization. As
of the grant date, the ordinary shares and the share options had fair values of
P70/share and P12/option, respectively, To be entitled to the share options, the
grantees should still be employed in the Company by December 31, 2026.

For the years 2023 and 2024, there were no resignations and there will be no
resignations expected to happen during the remainder of the vesting period.

However, during January 2025, the regulatory body rejected the application to
increase the Company's authorized share capital. As a result, the Company decided
to terminate the share option program and will just make settlement payments to
affected employees. There were no changes in the fair value of share options from
2023 to 2025.

same level for the rest of the vesting period. One member of the senior
management left the Company. The estimate for the total number of 5 resignations
during the entire three-year period is still relevant.

For the year 2024, the Company reported ROI of 9% but expects to reach 15% ROI
in 2025. One member of the senior management left the Company during the year.
The estimate for the total number of 5 resignations during the entire three-year
period still holds true.

Company’s ten directors for the purchase of the Company's P30 par value ordinary
shares for P50/share. As of that date, the ordinary shares had fair value of
P60/share and the share options have fair value of P8/option. To become entitled
to the share options, the directors should be employed in the Company for the next
four years (i.e., until December 31, 2026).
For the years 2023 and 2024, the Company expects that none of the directors will
resign before the end of the vesting period, However, for the year 2024, the

ordinary shares’ fair value plummeted to P35/share and expected to stay around
that amount for the foreseeable future. As a result, on December 31, 2024, the
Company reduced the exercise price of the options from P50/share down to
P30/share. As of the same date, the share options had fair value of P3/share right
before modification but increased to P9/share right after the modification.
Because of the revision, the directors should stay in the Company for the next three
years to become entitled to the share options (i.e. December 31, 2027). There were
no resignations nor expected resignations during the modified vesting period.

CHAPTER 16A
CASH-SETTLED SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Chapter Overview and Objectives

After this chapter, readers are expected to comprehend:


A The difference between equity-settled and cash-settled share-based payments.
2. The initial and subsequent accounting for cash-settled share-based payments.
3. The accounting for share-based payments with equity and liability alternatives.
4 The accounting for modification of share-based payment from equity-settled to
cash-settled or vice versa.
S: The accounting for the share-based payments among group entities.

CASH-SETTLED SHARE-BASED PAYMENT - A PRIMER

Chapter 16A — Cash-Settled Share-Based Payments

The following general model in computing for the compensation expense in equity-
settled share-based payment is also applicable:
Compensation Expense = Value x Number x Period
The difference is that the “value” component in the cash-settled share-based
payment reflects the changes in the fair value of the instruments during both
: ; kona

SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS (SARs)


In this arrangement, the grantees will receive in cash the amount of increase in
the share price (i.e., market value as of exercise date) from a predetermined
share price amount.

For example, an entity granted 10,000 SARs with P100/share predetermined share
price amount. If on the settlement date, the shares have a market value of
P115/share, the entity shall pay a total of P150,000 /(P115 - P100) x 10,000]. The
share price is normally used since this is reflective of the financial performance of
an entity which is greatly influenced by the actions and decisions of its employees.
In measuring the amount of compensation expense to be recognized, the following
specific guidelines are relevant:

Period |- Amount of compensation expense


Vesting | Pro- rated calculations over the vesting period, reflecting the changes trin
Period | the fair value of SARs at the end of each year. This is computed using the
Value x Number x Period approach.
In other words, during this period, the amount of “appreciation” or the
difference between the shares’ fair value and predetermined share price
shall not be used yet (ie., this will be used only in the computation of the
actual amounts to be paid to the employees on the exercise date).

computed as follows:

Illustration 1. MADRID Company granted 30,000 SARs to its employees on January


1, 2023. The predetermined share price is P50/share, which is equal to its fair value
on the grant date. To become entitled to the cash payment, employees shall remain
in the employ of the Company for the next three years. The employees were also
given additional three years (i.e., from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028) for
the exercise of the SARs. On December 31, 2025, all of the 30,000 SARs vested.

CHANGES IN THE ESTIMATES DURING THE VESTING PERIOD


Similar to the equity-settled share-based payment, changes in the estimates of the
number of SARs that will vest and changes in the length of estimated vesting period
shall be accounted for prospectively (i.e., change in accounting estimate).
Previously reported amounts during prior periods are not revised, but the amount
of change shall be reflected in the amount of compensation expense that will be
recognized during the period of change (i.e., catch-up or through-up adjustments).

Illustration 2 - Changes in the Estimate of SARs. MAURICIO Company granted


100,000 SARs to its employees on January 1, 2023. Predetermined share price was
set at P30/share. To be entitled to the cash payment, the employees shall still be
employed in the Company for the next four years. After the vesting period, the
employees will have additional two years to exercise their rights over SARs.

Relevant data to compute the compensation expense per year are the following:

As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company expects that only 80,000 SARs
will vest. This estimate was changed on December 31, 2025 when 90,000 SARs are
expected to vest, On December 31, 2026, 92,000 SARs ultimately vested.

SHARE-BASED ARRANGEMENTS WITH SHARE AND CASH ALTERNATIVES


Some share-based arrangements may contain provision where a choice can be
made on whether the entity will settle the arrangement by transferring cash,
including noncash assets (i-e., cash-settled) or by issuing equity securities (equity-
settled). Specific accounting procedures will depend on whose party can make the
choice of settlement:

Counterparty has the choice Issuing entity has the choice


The whole arrangement is considered as The whole arrangement is considered as
a compound financial instrument (i.e., cash-settled if the entity has the present

Consequently, the terms and conditions

After this entry the carrying amount of the note payable (i.e., liability component)
is now P4,300,000. It should be noted that, unlike the liability component, the
amount initially attributed to the equity component is not changed until the
settlement date.
If, on the settlement date, the counterparty chose the cash alternative, it is
entitled to receive P4,300,000 (100,000 x P43). The following journal entries are

Illustration 4 - Services from Employees. As part of CORNELIO Company’s


additional compensation program for its employees, the Company gave its chief
accountant, on January 1, 2023, the choice between the following:
a. Cash payment equal to the value of 3,000 of the Company’s shares; or
b. 3,600 of the Company’s P50 par value shares
To become entitled to either of these, the chief accountant shall remain with the
entity for the next three years. Fair value information is as follows:

Based on this information, the split accounting on grant date, January 1, 2023, is as
follows:

Fair value of share alternative (3,600 x P90) P324,000


Less: Fair value of cash alternative - liability
component (3,000 x P92) (276,000)
Amount allocated to equity component P48,000
Only a memorandum entry shall be made on the grant date since the services are to
be received for the next three years.
Annual compensation expense arising from the equity component will amount to
P16,000 (P48,000/3). Changes in the fair value of the equity component are ignored.
On the other hand, the amounts of compensation expense arising from the liability
component are computed as follows:

MODIFICATION FROM CASH-SETTLED TO EQUITY-SETTLED


If a cash-settled share-based payment transaction has been modified to make it
equity-settled, the following accounting procedures are relevant:
a. Recognize equity-settled share-based payment transaction (i.e., share
premium) by reference to its fair value as of the modification date. The
amount actually recorded shall be based on the extent that the goods and
services have been received:

teaches ser FV of equity on Elapsed vesting period


share-based payment modification date Total vesting period
b. Derecognize the carrying amount of the liability related to the cash-settled
share-based payment transaction.
_c. Recognize in profit or loss the difference between the initial measurement of
equity-settled share-based payment transaction and the carrying amount of the
derecognized liability.
d. During the subsequent periods, the basis of the compensation expense is the
fair value of the equity-settled share-based payment as of the modification
date. Changes in the fair value shall not be recognized moving forward.
Illustration 5. On January 1, 2023, CARLOS Company granted 40,000 SARs to its
employees conditional on their five-year stay in the Company. Predetermined share
price is P30/share.
On December 31, 2024, when the SARs have fair value of P14/right and shares have
price of P45/share, the Company agreed with the employees that instead of the cash
payment, the employees will now be entitled to 40,000 share options with exercise
price of P35/share. There were no changes in the vesting period
This modification is necessary since based on the projections the Company will
have a hard time generating cash flows for the next three years.
Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the
journal entry to record the modification of share-based payment agreement from
cash-settled to equity-settled:
1. Share options have fair value of P14/option.
2. Share options have fair value of P16/option
3. Share options have fair value of P11/option

Scenario 1
On the date of modification, two years of the vesting period has already elapsed
(01/01/23 - 12/31/24). In connection with this, the carrying amount of the liability
right before the modification is computed as:
FV of No.of Accrued liability balance as of
Date SARs SARs December 31, 2024
12/31/24 P14 40,000 P224,000 [(P14 x 40K) x 2/5]

The amount to be recognized in equity on modification date is computed as follows:


FV of No. of Share premium to be
Date Options Options recognized on 12/31/24
12/31/24 P14 = 40,000 P224,000 [(P14x 40K) x 2/5]
Since there is no difference between the carrying amount of the liability to be
derecognized and equity to be recognized, no gain or loss shall be recognized:
Accrued compensation liability 224,000
Share premium - share options 224,000

The compensation expense shall now be based on the P14 fair value as of the
modification date and shall not reflect the fair value changes moving forward.
Scenario 2
The same carrying amount of liability (i-e., P224,000) as computed in Scenario 1 is
still relevant in this case. However, the amount to be recognized in equity on the
modification date is computed as follows:
FV of No. of Share premium to be
Date Options Options recognized on 12/31/24
12/31/24 P16 =_ 40,000 P256,000 [(P16x 40K) x 2/5]
Since the amount to be recognized in equity is higher than the carrying amount of
the liability to be recognized, a loss on modification shall be recognized as follows:
Accrued compensation liability 224,000
Loss on modification - P/L 32,000
Share premium - share options 256,000

The compensation expense shall now be based on the P16 fair value as of the
modification date and shall not reflect the fair value changes moving forward.
Scenario 3
The same carrying amount of liability (i.e., P224,000) as computed in Scenario 1 is
still relevant in this case. However, the amount to be recognized in equity on the
modification date is computed as follows;

the liability to be recognized, a gain on modification shall be recognized as follows:
Accrued compensation liability 224,000
Share premium - share options 176,000
Gain on modification - P/L 48,000

MODIFICATION FROM EQUITY-SETTLED TO CASH-SETTLED


If an equity-settled share-based payment transaction has been modified to make it
cash-settled, the following accounting procedures are relevant:
a. Recognize a liability by reference to its fair value on the modification date.
The amount to be actually recorded shall be based on the extent that the goods
and services were received:

b. The amount of the recognized liability shall be deducted from the balance of the
entity’s equity determined using the concepts in equity-settled share-based
payment. No gain or loss shall be immediately recorded (i.e., all differences are
recognized directly in equity).
c. During the subsequent periods, the equity and liability components shall be
accounted for separately using the concepts of equity-settled share-based
payments (i.e., changes in fair value are not considered) and of cash-settled
share-based payments (i.e., changes in fair value are considered), respectively.
d. The amount of total compensation expense over the vesting period is based on
the grant date fair value of the equity component, adjusted by the
remeasurement of the liability component (i.e., equity component shall not
be remeasured).
Illustration 6. At the beginning of 2023, MONICA Company granted 60,000 P30 par
value shares to its employees. To be entitled to the shares, the employees shall
remain employed in the Company for the next four years. On the grant date, these
shares have fair value of P40/share,
On December 31, 2025, when shares have fair value of P35/share, the Company
added a cash alternative wherein the employees may choose to receive in cash the
value of the shares on vesting date. On December 31, 2026, all of the shares vested.
Fair value of the shares on the same date amounted to P38/share.

Right before the modification, on December 31, 2025, there were already three
years that elapsed from the four-year vesting period (from 2023 to 2025). The balance
of the share premium as of this date is computed as (based on the grant date fair
value):
FV of No. of Share premium
Date Shares Options balance as of 12/31/25
12/31/25 P40 60,000 P1,800,000 /(P40 x 60K) x 3/4]
The amount of liability to be recognized on modification date shall be based on the
fair value of the shares on that date (i.e., P35/share) adjusted by the portion of the
vesting period that has elapsed (i.e., three years):
FV of No.of Accrued compensation to be

12/31/25 P38 = =©60,000 = P1,575,000 /(P35 x 60K)

The following entry shall be recorded on modification date:


Share premium - share alternative 1,575,000
Accrued compensation liability 1,575,000

The evolution of the equity component and liability component together with the
amount of compensation expense is shown as follows:

Note A: The P600,000 supposed compensation expense based on unmodified terms shall be
allocated to liability component using the ratio of its fair value on the date of modification (i.e.,
P35) relative to the share’s fair value on grant date (i.e., P40), The P525,000 amountis computed
as P600,000 x (P35/P40). The remainder is allocated to the equity component.

The readers should take note that the remeasurement of the liability.component
balance is made to determine the additional expense to be recognized so that its
ending balance is equal to its fair value as of the reporting date (in this case,
P2,280,000 = P38 x 60,000). Total expense for 2026 is P780,000 (P600K + P180K).

SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS AMONG GROUP ENTITIES


The illustrations in this chapter and in the previous chapter contain scenarios
wherein the entity receiving the services from employees is also settling the share-
based payment. However, in a group setting of a parent entity and its subsidiaries,
one entity may receive employee services (i.e, the receiving entity) while another
entity in the same group may settle the share-based payment (i.e., the settling entity).
Illustration 7. ABC Company, a parent entity, granted additional compensation in
the form of share-based payment to the employees of its subsidiary, XYZ Company.
Graphically, this can be shown as follows:
Grants share-based
ABC Company (parent and payment
settling entity)

Owns |

Services XYZ Company's


XYZ Company (subsidiary |g
and receiving entity) employees

In this case, XYZ Company is considered as the “receiving entity” since it receives the
services rendered by its employees. On the other hand, ABC Company is considered as
the “settling entity” since it will ultimately pay the share-based benefit to the
employees of XYZ Company.
The readers should take note that parent entities are not always considered as the
settling entity, and subsidiaries are not always considered as receiving entity as
their roles can be reversed, depending on the circumstances.
CLASSIFICATION OF GROUP SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS
Classification of the share-based payment in the perspective of the receiving entity
and of the settling entity is important since accounting procedures will primarily
depend on their classification:

Perspective of Receiving Entity | _ Perspective of Settling Entity —


The share-based payment is considered | The share-based payment is considered
as equity-settled when: as equity-settled only if it is settled in
a. the awards granted are its own equity | the entity's own equity instruments.

simplification purposes.

Chapter 16A — Cash-Settled Share-Based Payments

The readers should take note that the existence of repayment or reimbursement
agreement (also known as “recharge”) between the receiving entity and the settling
entity, belonging to the same group will not affect the classification of the share-
based payment.
Illustration 8. DEF Company, a parent entity, awarded a share-based
compensation to the employees of ZZZ Company, one of its subsidiaries. ZZZ
Company has no obligation to settle this share-based payment transaction.

Required: Under each of the following independent scenarios, determine the


classification of the share-based payment in the perspectives of DEF Company and
ZZZ Company:
1. DEF Company will settle the share-based compensation by issuing its own
shares.
2. DEF Company will settle the share-based compensation by issuing ZZZ
Company’s shares.
3. DEF Company will settle the share-based compensation by issuing its own
shares and it will claim reimbursement from ZZZ Company.
4, DEF Company will settle the share-based compensation by paying cash equal to
the fair value of its own shares.
Answer: ‘
Each scenario is classified in the perspectives of DEF Company and ZZZ Company
as follows:
Scenarios DEF Company (settling entity) ZZZ Company (receiving entity)
1 Equity-settled Equity-settled
2 Cash-settled Equity-settled
3 Equity-settled Equity-settled
4 Cash-settled Equity-settled
The following are the rationale for the classification under each scenario:
1. Under Scenario 1, the transaction is classified as equity-settled in DEF’s
perspective since it will issue its own equity securities.
2. Under Scenario 2, the transaction is classified as cash-settled in DEF’s
perspective since it will issue the equity securities of another entity (ZZZ’s
shares). In effect, this is a transfer of financial asset to ZZZ’s employees.
3. Under Scenario 3, the transaction is still classified as equity-settled in ZZZ’s
perspective since its reimbursement obligation is not relevant in classifying the
share-based payment transaction.
4. Under Scenario 4, the transaction is classified as cash-settled in DEF’s
perspective since it will pay cash to ZZZ’s employees, even though the amount
of cash payment is based on the fair value of DEF’s own shares.

The readers should take note that the classification in the settling entity's perspective
is not necessarily the same as in the receiving entity's perspective.
ACCOUNTING FOR GROUP SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS
The receiving entity and settling entity shall account for the share-based payment
transactions based on the relevant classification. If the transaction is classified as
equity-settled, accounting procedures in Chapter 16 shall be applied. On the other
hand, if the transaction is classified as cash-settled, accounting procedures in this
chapter shall be applied.
The following additional accounting procedures are specific to group share-based

entity is the parent entity):

CHAPTER SUMMARY
1. Cash-settled share-based payments involve the transfer of cash or other noncash
assets to counterparties (e.g., suppliers, employees).
2. Compensation expense from cash settled share-based payment = Value x Number x
Period.
3. Cash-settled share-based payments result to the recognition of liability, resulting to
net increase in the entity’s liability and net decrease in the entity’s equity.
4. Unlike in the equity-settled share-based’ payment, cash-settled share-based
payments recognize the changes in the fair value of the liability subsequent to grant
date.
5. Changes in the estimate and changes in the fair value of the liability are accounted
prospectively through catch-up amounts during the current period.
6. Share-based payments with equity and cash alternatives are accounted using the
concepts of compound financial instruments if the choice of the alternative is on the
hands of the counterparty.
7. Ifthe counterparty chose the cash alternative, the carrying amount of the liability
shall be settled while the balance in the share premium - equity alternative is
transferred to other equity account.
8. If the counterparty chose the share alternative, the total issue price is equal to the
total of carrying amount of the liability and the share premium - share alternative.
Any excess issue price is credited to share premium - issuance. No gain or loss shall
be recognized.
9. Modification of share-based payment which resulted to change in the classification
of the transaction shall be accounted prospectively.
10.In a share-based payment transaction among group entities, the entity receiving the
services (i.e., receiving entity) is not the entity who will settle the transaction (i.e.,
settling entity).
11.Usually, the receiving entity is a subsidiary while the settling entity is the parent
entity.
12.The share-based payment among group entities shall be classified as equity-settled
or cash-settled in each of the entity’s perspectives. The existence of reimbursement
agreements is not relevant in the classification.
13.In the books of the receiving entity that is a subsidiary, the receipt of services is
recorded as expense and corresponding increase in equity contribution from parent.
14.In the books of the settling entity that is a parent, the recognition of share-based
payment shall be recorded as an addition to the investment in subsidiary account.
15.Any reimbursement shall be recorded as a direct deduction from receiving entity’s
equity and as a deduction from the investment in subsidiary account in settling
entity’s books.
