    E4.1 Equity Method Accounting

    Calculation of Equity in Net Income:

    Williams reported net income $ 80,000,000

    Revaluation writeoffs:

    Plant assets $50,000,000/25 (2,000,000)

    Goodwill impairment loss (25,000,000)

    Equity in net income of Williams $ 53,000,000

    E4.7 Goodwill Impairment Losses

    a.

    Goodwill is not a standalone asset, but represents the value of above-average future performancepotential that cannot be assigned to identifiable assets such as property or specific intangibleassets. Because performance potential is related to business operations, to measure impairments inits value it must be connected with a specific business unit. In the case of Time Warner, asdiscussed in the text of Chapter 4, goodwill is assigned to Networks as a business unit. The WBNetwork is one part of this business unit, but does not comprise the entire unit.

    b.Goodwill impairment testing is accomplished in two steps. First, the fair value of the business unitis compared with its book value. If book value exceeds fair value, we go on to the second step todetermine the amount of the impairment, if any. The second step compares the fair value of the

    goodwill with its carrying value. An impairment loss is reported if its carrying value exceeds itsfair value.

    Since The WB Network was shut down, its future performance potential will no longer benefitTime Warner, and the impairment charge is appropriate.

    c.Time Warner has a 50% interest in The CW, so under U.S. GAAP it does not have a controllinginterest and reports its investment using the equity method. Time Warners equity in the netincome of The CW is reported as part of consolidated other income. The investment balance isreported as part of consolidated assets. The CWs individual assets, liabilities, revenues and

    expenses are not reported on the consolidated financial statements.

    b.Parson reports its own income of $800 million plus its equity in the income of Soaper of $140million. Equity in the income of Soaper is Soapers reported income adjusted for write-offs ofSoapers net asset revaluations. Consolidated income is Parsons and Soapers reported revenuesand expenses, with Soapers expenses adjusted for the revaluation writeoffs. Parsons separatelyreported income and consolidated income therefore report the same items, packaged differently.

    PROBLEMS

    P4.1 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements One Year after Acquisition

    a. Calculation of Equity in net income for 2010:

    Santos reported net income $ 5,000,000

    Revaluation writeoffs:

    Inventory (1) (2,000,000)

    Plant assets $8,000,000/8 (1,000,000)

    Patents $1,500,000/4 (375,000)

    Long-term debt $1,000,000/10 100,000

    Goodwill impairment loss (400,000)

    Equity in net income of Santo $ 1,325,000

    (1) Santos beginning inventory on its own books is $3,000,000 (= $5,200,000 + 4,000,000

    6,200,000). Since Santos cost of goods sold is $4,000,000, its beginning inventory iscompletely sold in 2010, and the revaluation is written off.

    Calculation of gain on acquisition:

    Acquisition cost $ 1,800

    Book value ($100 + 350 + 845) (1,295)

    Excess of acquisition cost over book value 505

    Excess of fair value over book value:

    Total goodwill impairment loss is $340 + 880 = $1,220

    c.

    $2,840 2,140 = $700, suggesting a GW impairment loss of that amount. However, total goodwillallocated to the Rest of World CGU is $515. Therefore, the goodwill impairment loss is $515, andother assets of the CGU would be written down, based on appropriate impairment tests.

    d.

    U.S. GAAP requires goodwill to be assigned to reporting units, in this case Exploration andProduction, and Refining and Marketing. Goodwill is then evaluated using a two-step test.Goodwill is tested for impairment only if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carryingvalue. Because fair value is generally calculated using discounted cash flows, we assume it can beapproximated by value in use. For both reporting units above, value in use significantly exceedscarrying value, so no impairment loss is reported.

    Because reporting units aggregate CGUs, it is likely that CGUs with carrying value greater thanvalue in use will be offset by those with a value in use that is greater than carrying value whenapplying the first step for impairment testing under U.S. GAAP.

    P4.11 Intangibles under IFRS

    a.

    Whereas the double-declining balance rate is twice the straight-line rate, 150% declining balance is1.5 x 10% straight-line rate, or 15%. Following the conventional declining-balance calculations,

    we have this amount of amortization expense for 2011, the second year after acquisition:

    Amortization expense = .15 x [50,000,000 (.15 x 50,000,000)] = 6,375,000

    b.

    At December 31, 2010, the carrying amount is 9,000,000 after 2010 amortization of 1,000,000,and the market value of these intangibles is 9,500,000.

    December 31, 2010 entries are:

    Amortization expense 1,000,000Intangible assets 1,000,000

    Intangible assets 500,000

    Revaluation surplus(OCI) 500,000

  • 7/31/2019 AdvAcct Chapter04 Solutions 07.13

    33/35

    December 31, 2011, entries are:

    Amortization expense 1,055,555

    Intangible assets 1,055,555

    9,500,000/9 = 1,055,555

    Revaluation surplus (OCI) 500,000

    Loss 944,445

    Intangible assets 1,444,445

    At this point the ending carrying amount is 7,000,000 (= 10,000,000 1,000,000 + 500,000 1,055,555 1,444,445], equal to the market value on that date.

    c.

    IFRS impairment loss = carrying amount greater of (value in use, 15,300,000; market value,

    14,000,000) = 17,000,000 15,300,000 = 1,700,000.

    U.S. GAAP impairment loss = 0 (sum of undiscounted cash flows 18,000,000 > carrying amount,17,000,000, indicating no impairment).

    The two-step test in U.S GAAP removes some potential impairments from consideration. IFRSgoes immediately to an amount lower than the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, and will likelyrecognize more impairment losses over time than U.S. GAAP.

    P4.12 Consolidation in First Year, Intangible Asset Issues

    (all dollar amounts in millions)

    a.

    Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities$26,900 = $(20,800 + 9,400 + 4,800) LiabilitiesLiabilities = $35,000 $26,900Liabilities = $8,100

    b.

    Going by the book, the question is simply whether useful lives can be reasonably estimated orwhether the intangible has an obviously very long indeterminate (indefinite) life. Many cases willbe clear-cut and can be justified to the auditors but others will be in gray areas such that the desiredreporting result will call forth the case justifying the classification of the intangible one way oranother.

    Cambridge Business Publishers, 2010

    Solutions Manual, Chapter 4 97

  • 7/31/2019 AdvAcct Chapter04 Solutions 07.13

    34/35

    In these gray areas, management may elect to minimize periodic amortization charges againstearnings and take their chances on the somewhat random and very subjective impairment tests. Tothe extent possible, management would likely classify items and load cost in the indefinite-livedcategory to minimize the effect on earnings.

    c.

    With goodwill no longer being subject to amortization, and impairment charges being part ofincome from continuing operations, companies may seek to lower the probability that they willhave to recognize goodwill impairment charges. The subjectivity inherent in valuing the reportingunits to which the goodwill is assignedcash flow forecasts and discount rate selectionsfacilitates decisions to load goodwill onto reporting units that are less-likely impairmentcandidates, i.e., units with fair value significantly above carrying value.

    d.

    Revaluation of limited-life intangibles is $2,000 (= $3,000 $1,000).Amortization of this revaluation for 2007 = $2,000/15 x 9/12 = $100.Equity method income = $1,000 $100 = $900
