    BRIEF EXERCISE 17-6

    The bond is considered to be a perpetual debt obligation.Jamieson is obligated to provide to the holder, payments onaccount of interest at fixed dates extending into the indefinitefuture, and a principal payment for the face value of the bond veryfar into the future. The bond would be reported on Jamiesonsbalance sheet at the present value of the annuity of interestpayments over the term of the bond, calculated at the market rateof interest, ignoring the future value of the principal payment.Because the perpetual bonds value is driven solely by thecontractual obligation to pay interest it would be classified as along-term debt on the balance sheet.

    BRIEF EXERCISE 17-7

    Under the terms of the agreement with the preferred shareholders,it is highly likely that Silky Limited will be redeeming the preferredshares before the dividend rate doubles after five years. Failing todo so would result in Silky paying an extremely high dividend tothe preferred shareholders. Silky has little or no discretion to avoidpaying out the cash and this obligation to deliver cash creates a

    liability. Consequently, the preferred shares should be classifiedas long-term debt on the balance sheet.

    BRIEF EXERCISE 17-8

    Because the preferred shares are classified as long-term debt onthe balance sheet, the dividends declared and paid to preferredshareholders would be classified as interest expense on theincome statement. Depending on the degree of significancedistinguishing between interest and dividends on the incomestatement, it might be desirable to separate the amount ofdividends paid on the preferred shares with the interest paid onother debt.

    BRIEF EXERCISE 17-9

    When a preferred share provides for mandatory redemption by theissuer for a fixed or determinable amount at a fixed ordeterminable future date or gives the holder the right to require theissuer to redeem the share at or after a particular date for a fixedor determinable amount, the instrument meets the definition of afinancial liability. Consequently, the preferred shares should beclassified as long-term debt on the balance sheet.

    BRIEF EXERCISE 17-10

    Pseudo should account for the call option at the cost to acquire it$500 and record it as Investments Trading. Pseudo is notobligated to exercise the option and buy the shares.

    A fair value hedge would protect Tinsdale against an existingexposure that results from an existing asset, in this case the NotesReceivable. A cash flow hedge would protect Tinsdale against afuture transaction that has not yet been realized on the balancesheet. The latter would be appropriate if Tinsdale was concernedwith the risk of a change in variable interest. There is no mentionof interest for the notes receivable. Tinsdale is concerned aboutthe exchange risk of an existing asset, and so should use a fairvalue hedge.

    PROBLEM 17-4

    When accounting for the conversion of bonds into commonshares, whether using the book value or the market value methods,certain accounts will need to be relieved of their proportionatecarrying value in order to properly record the conversion. Sincethe conversion took place immediately after an interest date, thereis no accrued interest nor amortization of bond discount to recordprior to the recording of the conversion.

    Under the book value method, the pro-rata carrying value of theBonds Payable, Discount on Bonds Payable and ContributedSurplus Stock Options would be removed and a correspondingnet entry to Common Shares would result. No gain or loss onredemption would result.

    Under the market value method, the common shares would berecorded at market value (their market value or the market value ofthe bonds), the Contributed Surplus, Bonds Payable, and Discounton Bonds Payable amounts would be proportionately reduced, anda gain/credit or loss/debit would result. Since the CICA requiresshares to be recorded at their cash equivalent value, legalrequirements would tend to support this approach. The interestingquestion is whether the resulting gain/credit or loss/debit would betreated as an operating or capital transaction. If it was seen asarising from debt extinguishment, it would be an operating item(gain or loss) and recognized through the income statement. If itwas seen as part of the process of issuing shares, it should bebooked through equity.

    SOLUTIONS TO WRITING ASSIGNMENTS

    ASSIGNMENT 17-1

    (a) 1. The objective of issuing warrants to existing shareholders on a pro-ratabasis is to raise new equity capital. This method of raising equity capitalmay be used because of pre-emptive rights on the part of a companysshareholders and also because it is likely to be less expensive than apublic offering.

    2. The purpose of issuing stock warrants to certain key employees, usuallyin the form of a nonqualified stock option plan, is to increase their interestin the long-term growth and income of the company and to attract newmanagement talent. Also, this issuance of stock warrantsto key employees under a stock option plan frequently constitutes animportant element in a companys executive compensation program.Though such plans result in some dilution of the shareholders equitywhen shares are issued, the plans provide an additional incentive to thekey employees to operate the company efficiently.

    3. Warrants to purchase common shares may be issued to purchasers ofa companys bonds in order to stimulate the sale of the bonds byincreasing their speculative appeal and aiding in overcoming theobjection that rising price levels cause money invested for long periodsin bonds to lose purchasing power. The use of warrants in thisconnection may also permit the sale of the bonds at a lower interest cost.

    (b) 1. Because the purpose of issuing warrants to existing shareholders is toraise new equity capital, the price specified in the warrants must besufficiently below the current market price to reasonably assure that theywill be exercised. Because the success of the offering depends entirelyon the current market price of the companys shares in relation to theexercise price of the warrants, and because the objective is to raisecapital, the length of time over which the warrants can be exercised isvery short, frequently 60 days.

    ASSIGNMENT 17-1 (Continued)

    2. Warrants may be offered to key employees below, at, or above themarket price of the shares on the day the rights are granted except forincentive stock option plans. If a stock option plan is to provide a strongincentive, warrants that can be exercised shortly after they are grantedand expire, say, within two or three years, usually must be exercisableat or near the market price at the date of the grant. Warrants that cannotbe exercised for a number of years after they are granted or those thatdo not lapse for a number of years after they become exercisable may,however, be priced somewhat above the market price of the shares atthe date of the grant without eliminating the incentive feature. This doesnot upset the principal objective of stock option plans, heightening theinterest of key employees in the long-term success of the company.Income tax laws penalize the issuance of warrants and stock options atprices below market price on the day the rights are granted, by taxingthem as part of employment income.

    3. Income tax laws impose no restrictions on the exercise price of warrantsissued to purchasers of a companys bonds. The exercise price may beabove, equal to, or below the current market price of the companysshares. The longer the period of time during which the warrant can beexercised, however, the higher the exercise price can be and stillstimulate the sale of the bonds because of the increased speculationappeal. Thus, the significance of the length of time over which thewarrants can be exercised depends largely on the exercise price (orprices). A low exercise price in combination with a short exercise periodcan be just as successful as a high exercise price in combination with along exercise period.

    (c) 1. Financial statement information concerning outstanding stock warrantsissued to a companys shareholders should include a description of theshares being offered for sale, the option price, the time period duringwhich the rights may be exercised, and the number of rights needed topurchase a new share.

    2. Financial statement information concerning stock warrants issued to keyemployees should include the following: status of these plans at end ofperiods presented, including the number of shares under option, theprices at which the warrants may be exercised, the time periods andconditions under which they may be exercised, and the number ofwarrants exercised and forfeited during the year.

    3. Financial statement disclosure of outstanding stock warrants that havebeen issued to purchasers of a companys bonds should include theprices at which they can be exercised, the length of time they can beexercised, and the total number of shares that can be purchased by thebondholders.

    ASSIGNMENT 17-2

    The following is an excerpt from a presentation given by Dennis Beresford onthe concept of neutrality.

    The Board often hears that we should take a broader view, that we mustconsider the economic consequences of a new accounting standard. TheFASB should not act, critics maintain, if a new accounting standard wouldhave undesirable economic consequences. We have been told thatthe effects of accounting standards could cause lasting damage to Americancompanies and their employees. Some have suggested, for example, thatrecording the liability for retiree health care or the costs for stock-basedcompensation will place U.S. companies at a competitive disadvantage. Thesecritics suggest that because of accounting standards, companies may reducebenefits or move operations overseas to areas where workers do not demandthe same benefits. These assertions are usually combined with statementsabout desirable goals, like providing retiree health care or creating employeeincentives.

    There is a common element in those assertions. The goals are desirable butthe means require that the Board abandon neutrality and establish reportingstandards that conceal the financial impact of certain transactions from thosewho use financial statements. Costs of transactions exist whetheror not the FASB mandates their recognition in financial statements. Forexample, not requiring the recognition of the cost of stock options or ignoringthe liabilities for retiree health care benefits does not alter the economics ofthe transactions. It only withholds information from investors, creditors, policymakers, and others who need to make informed decisions and, eventually,impairs the credibility of financial reports.

    One need only look to the collapse of the thrift industry to demonstrate theconsequences of abandoning neutrality. During the 1970s and 1980s,regulatory accounting principles (RAP) were altered to obscure problems introubled institutions. Preserving the industry was considered a greater good.Many observers believe that the effect was to delay action and hide the truedimensions of the problem. The public interest is best served by neutralaccounting standards that inform policy rather than promote it. Stated simply,truth in accounting is always good policy.

    Neutrality does not mean that accounting should not influence humanbehaviour. We expect that changes in financial reporting will have economicconsequences, just as economic consequences are inherent in existingfinancial reporting practices. Changes in behaviour naturally follow from morecomplete and representationally faithful financial statements. The fundamentalquestion, however, is whether those who measure and report on economicevents should somehow screen the information before reporting it to achievesome objective.

    ASSIGNMENT 17-2 (Continued)

    Characteristics of Accounting Information (paragraph 102), the Boardobserved:

    Indeed, most people are repelled by the notion that some bigbrother, whether government or private, would tamper with scalesor speedometers surreptitiously to induce people to lose weight orobey speed limits or would slant the scoring of athletic events orexaminations to enhance or decrease someones chances ofwinning or graduating. There is no more reason to abandonneutrality in accounting measurement.

    The Board continues to hold that view. The Board does not set out to achieveparticular economic results through accounting pronouncements. We could notif we tried. Beyond that, it is seldom clear which result we should seekbecause our constituents often have opposing viewpoints. Governments, andthe policy goals they adopt, frequently change.

    CA 17-1 Sanford Corp.

    Overview:

    - the company is in the business of selling fire extinguishers- it is using shares as incentive to sell its products- closely held company and therefore GAAP may not be a constraint unless

    users e.g. shareholders request as more relevant and reliable assume so- note that as an analyst, would start with these statements (GAAP or not)

    and adjust the numbers to get the most meaningful information about thecompany

    - as financial analyst looking at quality of income and whether net incomerepresents sustainable income and reflects the underlying business modelof the company. Would therefore want transparency (f/s should reflectunderlying substance)

    Analysis and recommendations:

    Issue: Valuation of the shares transferredBV or FV at time of transfer to trust FV at time shares granted to dealers

    - equals measurement date (see3870.14)

    - this is the point at which thevalue is transferred from thecompany

    - additional increases in valueaccrue to the dealers thecompany has no access to thetrust or the shares oncetransferred

    - represents the true value to thedealers

    - the shares were technically notissued prior to this they sat inthe trust for the interim period(not outstanding)

    - this is the date at which thedealers performance iscomplete (3870.14)

    - reflects the economic substance- the dealers would see this as a motivation to buy more from the company

    and resell them- similar to commission- not a capital transaction since reciprocal purpose is to compensate

    nonshareholders for service

    Recommendation:

    Treat as marketing costs since this is more transparent. If the company did notissue shares would have likely incurred commissions. Therefore, this helpsdetermine the sustainable, ongoing income of the company. In terms ofmeasurement, if this is a marketing cost, would measure at date incurred. Thiswould be at the grant date. At this point, the company would determine the valuethat it was prepared to give up most easily measured at the date of issue of theshares (as FV). Since the company releases the shares to the trust and has nofurther interest in the trust, changes in the value of the shares after issue of theshares is irrelevant. The shares must be paid out to the dealers and will notrevert back to the company. In a sense, they are like stock options.

    CA 17-2 Home Depot/Royal Group Technologies

    Overview:

    - big box retailers = major purchaser of Royal goods- want lower prices which affects Royal profit margins Royal looking for ways to

    say money and cut costs- Royal is a public company since share trade on the TSE GAAP constraint

    Analysis and recommendations:

    Issue: Accounting for compensatory stock options

    Recognition at FV operating cost No recognition capital transaction whenoptions exercised

    - represents economic substance options are meant to take the placeof remuneration to management toachieve corporate objectives

    - if options were not granted wouldbe paying remuneration in anotherform e.g. bonus or salary or other would affect net income

    - no cash impact when granted asa matter of fact, will never result ina cash outlay as all other expensesdo; therefore, requires differenttreatment

    - no real cost upon issuance sinceFV of shares normally less thanexercise price therefore intrinsic

    - motivation to improve net incomenot a justification for nonrecognition

    value is nil- when exercised results in cash

    inflow to the company

    Recommendations:

    More transparent to use full recognition at fair value reflects the reality of the situation.Remuneration of management no matter what legally for is a cost of doing business.

    CA 17-3 Air Canada

    Overview:

    - industry suffering- main expense is fuel which accounts for 15% of total costs of company need to

    manage cost since as a commodity, its costs fluctuate uses hedging strategy high risk accounting since complex transaction

    Analysis and recommendations:

    Issue: Accounting for hedge of fuel

    - the hedging instruments are not listed in detail and so discuss in general terms- these are likely cash flow hedges since they protect the company against

    changes in the costs of fuel in the future (versus fair value hedges which protectthe company against fluctuations in assets or liabilities that are alreadyrecognized on the balance sheet)

    - the hedging instruments are likely financial instruments and must therefore bemeasured at fair value under proposed GAAP (EDs on Hedge accounting,Financial Instruments and Comprehensive Income). Resulting gains/losseswould be recorded in Comprehensive Income until the related fuel expenses hitthe income statement (i.e. when the company uses the fuel). At that point, relatedgains/losses would be transferred from Comprehensive Income to Fuel expense.The hedging thus determines the value of the fuel.

    - alternatively, ignoring the ED, the hedging items are executory contracts that donot necessarily get recognized. They do, however, by definition establish theprice of the fuel. Therefore, when the fuel is booked as an expense, the amountis determined by the hedging strategy.

    - either way the fuel expense is determined by the hedging- since fuel costs are so material and uncertain, management would be wise to

    identify this risk and explain how it is being dealt with or managed. A good placeto disclose this would be in the notes to the financial statements

    - premiums/discounts associated with the hedging activity are similar to insurancecosts and could therefore be expensed over the period being protected

    CA 17-4 Coach Corporation

    Overview:- company uses performance based compensation plans that are based on net

    income- subjective estimates of bad debt expense affect the calculation- net income is therefore a key number

    Analysis and recommendations:- subjectivity of income is affecting compensation of executives- controller faces ethical issue - as long as bad debt expense is calculated using best estimates, should not

    change just because of the compensation plan

    - Legal structure important since it has cash flow implications must pay outsubstantially all of cash flows = distributable income (NI before amortization,income taxes and special charges less capital replacement reserve). Bias toshow stable and growing distributions - must be careful that income notoverstated due to cash flow implications
