The main topics covered in the document include advanced accounting concepts related to foreign currency translation, consolidation procedures, and calculation of non-controlling interest. Specifically, it discusses the functional currency of subsidiaries, differences between translation and remeasurement processes, and how to account for and eliminate unrealized intercompany profits in consolidated financial statements.

The main topics covered include foreign currency translation, consolidation procedures such as elimination of unrealized intercompany profits, and calculation of non-controlling interest.

In the translation process, asset and liability accounts are translated using either the current or historical exchange rate, while in the remeasurement process, non-monetary items are remeasured at the current exchange rate. The reported balances of some accounts like sales and depreciation expense are normally the same under both methods, while others like inventory may differ.

$19,000.
$17,000.
$16,000.
A) $16,000.

Explanation
The U.S. dollar is the foreign subsidiary's functional currency, so a remeasurement
is appropriate. Inventory is translated at the historical exchange rate [100,000 ×
$0.16 = $16,000].

B) $16,000.
Explanation
The U.S. dollar is the foreign subsidiary's functional currency, so a remeasurement
is appropriate. Cost of goods sold is translated at the historical rate in effect when
the inventory was acquired [100,000 × $0.16 = $16,000].
Problem 10-14 (LO 10-1)
In the translated financial statements, which method of translation maintains the
underlying valuation methods used in the foreign currency financial statements?

Monetary/nonmonetary method.
Current rate method; income statement translated at average exchange rate for the
year.
Temporal method.
Current rate method; income statement translated at exchange rate at the balance
sheet date.
Temporal method.

Explanation
By translating items carried at historical cost by the historical exchange rate, the
temporal method maintains the underlying valuation method used by the foreign
subsidiary.
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which translation
combination is appropriate for a foreign operation whose functional currency is the
U.S. dollar?

Method Treatment of Translation Adjustment

Explanation
When the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, U.S. GAAP requires remeasurement
using the temporal method with remeasurement gains and losses reported in
income.
A foreign subsidiary's functional currency is its local currency, which has not
experienced significant inflation. The weighted average exchange rate for the
current year is the appropriate exchange rate for translating

decrease.
Permanently restricted net assets have increased by $210,000.
A private not-for-profit university charges its students tuition of $1 million. However,
financial aid grants total $220,000. In addition, the school receives a $100,000 grant
restricted for faculty salaries. Of this amount, it spent $30,000 appropriately this
year. On the statement of activities, the school reports three categories: (1)
revenues and support, (2) net assets reclassified, and (3) expenses. Which of the
following is not true?

In the unrestricted net assets, the revenues and support should total $1 million.
Unrestricted net assets shows the $220,000 as a direct reduction to the tuition
revenue balance.
Unrestricted net assets should show an increase of $30,000 for net assets
reclassified.

A foreign subsidiary of Thun Corporation has one asset (inventory) and no liabilities.
The func- tional currency for this subsidiary is the yuan. The inventory was acquired for
100,000 yuan when the exchange rate was $0.16 = 1 yuan. Consolidated statements
are to be produced, and the current exchange rate is $0.12 = 1 yuan. Which of the
following statements is true for the consolidated financial statements?
a. A remeasurement gain must be reported.
b. A positive translation adjustment must be reported.
c. A negative translation adjustment must be reported.
d. A remeasurement loss must be reported.
C (Determine appropriate translation method and resulting translation adjustment)

Because the yuan is the functional currency, the financial statements must be translated
using the current rate method. Therefore, answers a. and d. can be eliminated. Because
the subsidiary has a net asset position and the yuan has depreciated from $.16 to $.12,
a negative translation adjustment will result.
At what rates should the following balance sheet accounts in foreign statements be

C (Remeasurement process (temporal method) - marketable securities and inventory)

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency, so remeasurement is appropriate. Inventory


(carried at cost) is remeasured at the historical exchange rate of $.16. Marketable equity
securities (carried at market value) are remeasured at the current exchange rate of
$.19.
A U.S. company's foreign subsidiary had these amounts in local currency units (LCU) in
2017:

COGS = LCU 5,000,000


BOY Inv = 500,000
EOY Inv = 600,000

The average exchange rate during 2017 was $1.00 = LCU 1. The beginning inventory
was acquired when the exchange rate was $0.80 = LCU 1. Ending inventory was
acquired when the exchange rate was $1.10 = LCU 1. The exchange rate at December
31, 2017, was $1.15 = LCU 1. Assuming that the foreign country is highly inflationary, at
what amount should the foreign subsidiary's cost of goods sold be reflected in the U.S.
dollar income statement?
a. $4,440,000.
b. $4,840,000.
c. $5,000,000.
d. $5,750,000.
B (Highly inflationary economy (temporal method) - cost of goods sold)

BOY = .80
Purch = 1.00
EOY = 1.10

foreign subsidiary's functional currency. Currency exchange rates for 1 rand are as
follows:

1/1 = .25
avg = .28
12/31 = .31

In preparing consolidated financial statements, what translation adjustment will Yang


report at the end of the current year?
a. $400 positive (credit).
b. $1,000 positive (credit).
c. $1,400 positive (credit).
d. $2,400 positive (credit).
D (Calculation of translation adjustment)
In the translated financial statements, which method of translation maintains the
underlying valua- tion methods used in preparing the foreign currency financial
statements?
a. Current rate method; income statement translated at average exchange rate for the
year.
b. Current rate method; income statement translated at exchange rate at the balance
sheet date.
c. Temporal method.
d. Monetary/nonmonetary method.
C (Concepts underlying current rate and temporal methods)

By translating items carried at historical cost by the historical exchange rate, the
temporal method maintains the underlying valuation method used by the foreign
subsidiary in preparing its financial statements.
Charleston Corporation operates a branch operation in a foreign country. Although this
branch operates in euros, the U.S. dollar is its functional currency. Thus, a
remeasurement is necessary to produce financial information for external reporting
purposes. The branch began the year with 500,000 euros in cash and no other assets
or liabilities. However, the branch immediately used 300,000 euros to acquire a
warehouse. On May 1, it purchased inventory costing 100,000 euros for cash that it sold
on July 1 for 160,000 euros cash. The branch transferred 10,000 euros to the parent on
October 1 and recorded depreciation on the warehouse of 10,000 euros for the year.
Currency exchange rates for 1 euro follow:

jan 1 = 1.14
may 1 = 1.18
july 1 = 1.20
oct 1 = 1.18
dec 31 = 1.08
avg = 1.16

What is the remeasurement gain or loss to be recognized in the consolidated income


statement?
a. $100 gain.
b. $200 gain.
c. $100 loss.
d. $200 loss.
D (Calculation of remeasurement gain/loss)
Which of the following items is remeasured using the current exchange rate under the
temporal
method?
a. Bonds payable.
b. Dividends declared.
c. Additional paid-in capital.
d. Amortization of intangibles.
A (Remeasurement process (temporal method))

Long-term debt is translated at the current exchange rate under the temporal method.
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which translation
combination is appropriate for a foreign operation whose functional currency is the U.S.
dollar?

Method / Treatment
a. Current rate / OCI
b. Current rate / G/L in NI
c. Temporal / OCI
d. Temporal / G/L in NI
D (Determine appropriate translation method and treatment of translation adjustment)

When the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, U.S. GAAP requires remeasurement
using the temporal method with remeasurement gains and losses reported in income.
A foreign subsidiary's functional currency is its local currency, which has not
experienced significant inflation. The current exchange rate at the balance sheet date is
the appropriate exchange rate for translating:

Insurance Expense / Prepaid Insurance

a. Yes, Yes
b. Yes, No
c. No, Yes
d. No, No
C (Translation process (current rate method) - insurance expense and prepaid
insurance)

Insurance expense is translated at the average exchange rate; prepaid insurance is


translated at the current exchange rate.

State three reasons why the FASB and IASB undertook the revenue recognition project
• There have been many accounting scandals involving revenue recognition, so the
FASB and IASB wanted to fix this problem
• US GAAP has complex, detailed standards for specific industries and transactions.
The standards were also overly prescriptive and conflicting. FASB wanted to have one
revenue recognition standard that can be applied in all situations.
• IASB revenue recognition standards have limited implementation guidance and are
difficult to understand and apply. So the IASB wanted a new standard to solve this
problem.
• The requirements of IFRS and US GAAP for revenue recognition were different. Since
the FASB and IASB were interested in convergence of IFRS and US GAAP they
undertook this project.
Describe how the new revenue recognition standard changes revenue recognition for
wireless phone companies. Your answer should include a description of how the phone
companies recognize revenue under the old rules and then how they would recognize
revenue under the new rules. Using numerical examples would also help.
• Under the old rules, if a phone company is giving the phone to the customer free with
a two-year contract, the phone company would have to take the COGS of the phone as
expense (say, $500) and book as revenue every month the amount paid by the
customer for the monthly bill (say, $60).
• Under the new rules, since the phone company has delivered the phone to the
customer, the performance obligation has been satisfied. They can take the entire
normal selling price of the phone (what the phone would be sold for without the two-year
contract), say $600 as revenue. They would also take the COGS of $500 as expense
and every month they would take as revenue the monthly bill minus the amount
attributed to the price of the phone (600/24 = 25). So if the monthly bill is $60, 60 - 25 =
35 would be taken as revenue every month for the first two years. After two years, if the
customer is still with the company and has not changed the phone, the full amount of
the monthly bill ($60) will be taken as revenue.
Core principle of revenue model
an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods or services
5 steps to recognizing revenue
1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract
3. Determine the transaction price
4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

COPAR
Identifying contract with customer (STEP 1)
-verbal, written, or implied

ALL criteria must be met


-approved contract
-identify party's rights
-identify payment terms
-commercial substance
-probable that entity will collect the consideration

ACon; RaP; ComSub, Collect


Identifying the Performance Obligation (STEP 2)
Performance obligation is each promise to deliver
-good or service that is distinct
-series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and have the
same pattern of transfer to the customer

Distinct if BOTH criteria are met:


1. capable of being distinct
2. distinct within the context of the contract; separately identifiable
Determining the Transaction Price (STEP 3)
consideration that it expects to be entitled; can be fixed or varied

Variable = expected value (probability weighted)


Allocating the Transaction Price (STEP 4)
best evidence of a standalone selling price is the observable price of a good or
service when the entity sells that good or service separately in similar
circumstances and to similar customers

Maximize use of observable inputs


Recognizing Revenue when (or as) Performance Obligations are Satisfied (STEP 5)
performance obligation is satisfied when control of the underlying goods or services is
transferred to the customer

At least ONE of the criteria must be met:


-customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits
-performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is
created or enhanced
-performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity
Changes to revenue recognition for software companies
Under previous standard, software companies were required to delay revenue
recognition because software upgrades included in the original purchase could not be
recognized until the upgrades actually rolled out.

Under the new standard, software companies will have greater ability to recognize
revenue up front, as they can value the upgrades separately.
Changes to revenue recognition for auto companies
Under the previous standard, automobile companies were able to recognize revenue
sooner as they included future maintenance expenses in the purchase price to increase
immediate revenues.

Under the new standards, auto companies are not able to recognize the future
maintenance expense because the performance obligation is identified and will not be
satisfied until a later date, therefore delaying the recognition of revenue from the
maintenance expenses.
How revenue recognition change affects Rolls Royce
-RR sells large aircraft engines at a loss (HUGE loss) that later turns into a profit by
servicing them

-previously able to compensate for losses by booking service revenue early

-new rev standard does not allow revenue recognition of future maintenance

-RR no longer able to "hide" losses on engines upon initial purchase
