INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING 2
SECOND GRADING EXAMINATION

1. PFRSs are adopted from the standards issued by the

a. IASC
b. IASCF
c. IASB
d. FASB

Use the following information for the next three questions:

On January 1, 20x1, KISMET FATE Co., purchased inventory with a list price of
₱4,400,000 and a cash price of ₱4,000,000 by issuing a noninterest-bearing note of
₱4,800,000 due on December 31, 20x3.

2. How much is the carrying amount of the note on initial recognition?

a. 4,400,000 b. 4,000,000 c. 4,800,000 d. 3,786,309

B 4,000,000 – the cash price equivalent

3. How much is the interest expense in 20x1?

a. 400,000 b. 279,830 c. 250,780 d. none of these

C
Solution:
Trial and error approach
First trial: (at 10%)
Future cash flows x PV factor at x% = PV of note
 4,800,000 X PV of ₱1 @ 10%, n=3 = 4,000,000
 (4,800,000 x 0.751315) = 3,606,312 is not equal to 4,000,000
We need a substantially higher amount of present value. Therefore, we need to decrease substantially
the interest rate. Let’s try 6%.
Second trial: (at 6%)
Future cash flows x PV factor at x% = PV of note
 4,800,000 X PV factor at 6%, n=3 = 4,000,000
 (4,800,000 x 0.839619) = 4,030,171 is not equal to 4,000,000
We need a slightly lower amount of present value. Therefore, we need to increase slightly the interest
rate. Let’s try 7%.

Third trial: (at 7%)

Future cash flows x PV factor at x% = PV of note
 4,800,000 X PV factor at 7%, n=3 = 4,000,000
 (4,800,000 x 0.816298) = 3,918,230 is not equal to 4,000,000

In here, we need to perform interpolation. Looking at the values derived above, we can reasonably
expect that the effective interest rate is a rate between 6% and 7%.

To perform the interpolation, we will use the following formula:

x% - 6%
7% - 6%

Where: x% again is the effective interest rate.

 Page |2

The formula is derived based on our expectation that the effective interest rate is somewhere between 6%
and 7%. Notice that the lower rate appears in both the numerator and denominator of the formula while x
% appears in the numerator.

Let us substitute the amounts of present values computed earlier on the formula.
4,000,000 - 4,030,171 (30,171) 0.269
= =
3,918,230 - 4,030,171 (111,941) 5

The amount computed is added to 6% to derive the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is
6.2695% (6% + .2695%).

Interest expense in 20x1 = 6.2695% x 4,000,000 = 250,780

4. How much is the carrying amount of the note on December 31, 20x1?
a. 4,250,780 b. 4,279,830 c. 4,400,000 d. 4,000,000

A (4,000,000 x 106.2695%) = 4,250,780

5. On January 1, 20x1, ABC Co., acquired transportation equipment in exchange for

cash of ₱100,000 and ₱1,000,000 noninterest-bearing note payable due in 4 equal
annual installments starting December 31, 20x1. The prevailing rate of interest for
this type of note is 12%. How much is the current portion of the note on December
31, 20x2?
a. 158,880
b. 177,945
c. 199,298
d. 223,214

Future cash flows – annual installments (₱1M ÷ 4) 250,000

Multiply by: PV of an ordinary annuity of ₱1 @12%, n=4 3.037349
Present value of note payable - Jan. 1, 20x1 759,337

6. Kemp Company must determine the December 31, 2005, year-end accruals for
advertising and rent expense. A P50,000 advertising bill was received January 7,
2006, comprising cost of P35,000 for advertisements in December 2006 issues, and
P15,000 for advertisements in January 2006 issues of the newspaper.

A store lease, effective December 16, 2004, calls for fixed rent of P120,000 per month,
payable one month from the effective date and monthly thereafter. In addition, rent
equal to 5% of net sales over P6,000,000 per calendar year is payable on January 31 of
the following year. Net sales for 2005 were P9,000,000.

In its December 31, 2005 balance sheet, Kemp should report accrued liabilities of
a. 260,000

7. ABC Co. is contemplating on issuing a 12%, 3-year, ₱1,000,000 bonds. Principal is

due at maturity but interest is due semi-annually every July 1 and December 31.
ABC determines that the current market rate on January 1, 20x1 is 14%. ABC Co.
plans to issue the bonds on September 30, 20x1. How much is the estimated total
proceeds from the issuance of the bonds on September 30, 20x1?
a. 666,342
b. 962,563
c. 952,334
d. 992,563

Solution:

Interest Interest Amortizatio Present

Date payments expense n value
Jan. 1, 20x1 952,335
July 1, 20x1 60,000 66,663 6,663 958,998
Sept. 30, 20x1 30,000 33,565 3,565 962,563

The estimated issue price pertaining to the bonds only on Sept. 30, 20x1 is ₱962,563.

The total proceeds is computed as follows:

Issue price pertaining to bonds only 962,563

Sold accrued interest (1M x 12% x 3/12) 30,000
Total issue price or cash proceeds 992,563

Only the accrued interest from July to Sept. is added to the issue price of the bonds because the last
interest payment date was on July 1.

8. On January 1, 20x1, SALIENT PROMINENT Co. issued 1,000, ₱4,000, 12%, 3-year
bonds for ₱4,412,336. Principal is due on December 31, 20x3 but interests are due
annually every year-end. In addition, SALIENT incurred bond issue cost of
₱213,388.The effective interest rate before adjustment for transaction costs is 8%.
How much is the carrying amount of the note on December 31, 20x1?
a. 4,019,832 b. 4,198,948 c. 4,288,776 d. 4,138 ,843

D
Solution:
The carrying amount of the bonds on initial recognition is computed as follows:
Issue price before transaction costs 4,412,336
Transaction costs (Bond issue costs) (213,388)
Carrying amount - Jan. 1, 20x1 (net issue price) 4,198,948

Trial and error

First trial: (using 10%)
 (4M x PV of ₱1 @ 10%, n=3) + [(4M x 12%) x PV of an ordinary annuity of ₱1 @ 10%, n=3) = 4,198,948
 (4M x 0.751315) + (480,000 x 2.48685) = 4,198,948
 (3,005,260 + 1,193,688) = 4,198,948 is equal to 4,198,948
 Page |4

Since 10% exactly discounts the future cash flows to the initial carrying amount of the bonds, it shall be
regarded as the effective interest rate. No further interpolation is needed.

Interest
Date payments Interest expense Amortization Present value
Jan. 1, 20x1 4,198,948
Dec. 31, 20x1 480,000 419,895 60,105 4,138,843

Use the following information for the next two questions:

On January 1, 20x1, SPITEFUL MALICIOUS Co. issued 1,000, ₱4,000, 10%, 3-year
bonds for ₱3,807,852. Principal is due on December 31, 20x3 but interests are due
annually every year-end. The effective interest rate is 12%. SPITEFUL Co. incorrectly
used the straight line method instead of the effective interest method to amortize the
discount.

9. What is the effect of the error on the carrying amount of the bonds on December
31, 20x1? (over) understated
a. 7,107 b. (7,107) c. 6,341 d. (6,341)

B
Solution:
Erroneous amortization of discount using straight line:
The erroneous straight-line amortization of the discount on bonds payable is computed as follows:
Face amount of bonds 4,000,000
Cash proceeds (3,807,852)
Discount on bonds payable - Jan. 1, 20x1 192,148
Divide by: Term of bonds (in years) 3
Annual amortization (straight line method) 64,049

Interest expense for 20x1 recognized under straight-line method:

Interest paid (4,000,000 x 10%) 400,000
Amortization of discount (see computation above) 64,049
Interest expense under straight-line method 464,049

Carrying amount of bonds on Dec. 31, 20x1 under straight-line method:

Carrying amount - Jan. 1, 20x1 3,807,852
Amortization of discount (see computation above) 64,049
Carrying amount - Dec. 31, 20x1 3,871,901

Amortization of discount under effective interest method:

Amortization table:
Interest Interest Amortizatio Present
Date payments expense n value
Jan. 1, 20x1 3,807,852

Dec. 31, 20x1 400,000 456,942 56,942 3,864,794

Effect on carrying amount of bonds as of Dec. 31, 20x1

Carrying amounts on Dec. 31, 20x1:
Straight-line 3,871,901
Effective interest rate 3,864,794
Difference - overstatement under straight-line 7,107
 Page |5

The carrying amount of the bonds on December 31, 20x1 under the straight line method is overstated by
₱7,107.

10. What is the effect of the error on the 20x1 profit? (over) understated
a. 7,107 b. (7,107) c. 6,341 d. (6,341)

A
Solution:
Effect on 20x1 profit
Interest expense in 20x1:
Straight-line (see computations above) 464,049
Effective interest rate (see computations above) 456,942
Difference - overstatement under straight-line 7,107

Since interest expense under straight-line is overstated, the profit under straight-line is understated
by ₱7,107.

Use the following information for the next two questions:

An entity is the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit. The entity’s lawyers
believe there is a 30% chance that the court will dismiss the case and the entity will
incur no outflow of economic benefits. However, if the court rules in favor of the
claimant, the lawyers believe that there is a 20% chance that the entity will be
required to pay damages of ₱800,000 (the amount sought by the claimant) and an 80%
chance that the entity will be required to pay damages of ₱400,000 (the amount that
 Page |7

was recently awarded by the same judge in a similar case). Other outcomes are
unlikely.

The court is expected to rule in late December 20x2. There is no indication that the
claimant will settle out of court. A 7% risk adjustment factor to the probability-
weighted expected cash flows is considered appropriate to reflect the uncertainties in
the cash flow estimates. An appropriate discount rate is 10% per year.

19. How much is the provision for lawsuit at December 31, 20x1?
a. 436,360 b. 446,908 c. 326,836 d. 0

C
Solution:
At twenty per cent chance: (800K x 20%) 160,000
At eighty per cent chance: (400K x 80%) 320,000
Total 480,000
Multiply by: PV of P1 @10%, n=1 0.90909
Total 436,363
Multiply by: Risk adjustment (100% + 7%) 107%
Total 466,909
Multiply by: Probability of settlement (100% - 30%) 70%
Provision for lawsuit – Dec. 31, 20x1 326,836

20. Use the fact pattern above. However, in this question, the entity’s lawyers
believe there is a 60 per cent chance that the court will dismiss the case and the
entity will incur no outflow. How much is the provision for lawsuit at December 31,
20x1?
a. 186,764 b. 446,908 c. 326,836 d. 0

D – the obligation is not probable, i.e., only 40% chance

Fact pattern:
On January 1, 20x1, Entity X (Customer) enters into a 4-year lease of equipment with
Entity Y (Supplier). The annual rent is ₱220,000, payable at the end of each year. The
equipment has a remaining useful life of 10 years. The interest rate implicit in the
lease is 10% while the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is 12%. Entity X uses the
straight-line method of depreciation. The relevant present value factors are as follows:
- PV of an ordinary annuity of ₱1 @10%, n=4………… 3.16987
- PV of an ordinary annuity of ₱1 @12%, n=4………… 3.03735

21. How much is the lease liability to be recognized by Entity X on initial

recognition?
a. 702,345 c. 668,217
b. 697,371 d. 0

Solution:
Fixed payments 220,000
Multiply by: PV of an ordinary annuity of ₱1 @10%, n=4 3.16987
Lease liability 697,371

22. How much is the annual depreciation on the right-of-use asset?

a. 174,343 c. 167,054
b. 175,586 d. 0
 Page |8

Solution:
Cost of right-of-use asset 697,371
Divide by: Lease term (shorter) 4
Annual depreciation 174,343

Since the lease contract neither provides for the transfer of ownership to the lessee
nor a ‘reasonably certain’ purchase option, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of
its useful life (10 yrs.) and the lease term (4 yrs.).

23. Assume the lease qualifies for accounting as a lease of “low-value asset.” How
much is the lease liability to be recognized by Entity X on initial recognition?
a. 702,345 c. 668,217
b. 697,371 d. 0

24. How much is the lease (rent) expense in 20x1?

a. 220,000 c. 167,054
b. 174,343 d. 0

25. Assume the lease is a finance lease. How much is the net investment in the lease
to be recognized by Entity Y on initial recognition?
a. 702,345 c. 668,217
b. 697,371 d. 0

Solution:
Fixed payments 220,000
Multiply by: PV of an ordinary annuity of ₱1 @10%, n=4 3.16987
Net investment 697,371

26. Assume the lease is an operating lease. How much is the lease (rent) income in
20x1?
a. 220,000 c. 167,054
b. 174,343 d. 0

27. As a result of differences between depreciation for financial reporting purposes

and tax purposes, the financial reporting basis of Noor Co.'s sole depreciable asset,
acquired in 20x1, exceeded its tax basis by ₱250,000 at December 31, 20x1. This
difference will reverse in future years. The enacted tax rate is 30% for 20x1, and
40% for future years. Noor has no other temporary differences. In its December 31,
2001, balance sheet, how should Noor report the deferred tax effect of this
difference - Asset (Liability)?
a. ₱75,000 b. ₱100,000 c. (₱75,000) d. (₱100,000)

D
Solution:
Concept: If the carrying amount (CA) of an asset exceeds its tax base (TB), the difference is a taxable
temporary difference which, if multiplied by the tax rate, results to a deferred tax liability.
“For an asset: CA > TB = difference is TTD; TTD x Tax rate = DTL”

Excess of CA over TB of asset (Taxable temp. difference) 250,000

Multiply by: Enacted future tax rate 40%
Deferred tax liability 100,000

Additional information:
 ABC recognizes revenues from service fees as services are rendered but are taxed
only when cash is collected. Total collections in 20x2 amounted to ₱800,000.
 The prepaid insurance account pertains to the unexpired portion of life insurance
premiums taken on the life of key personnel. ABC is the irrevocable beneficiary of
the insurance policy. Total premiums paid in 20x2 were ₱50,000.
 The building was acquired on January 1, 20x1 and is depreciated over an estimated
useful life of 20 years with no residual value. The straight line method of
depreciation is used for financial reporting while the double declining balance
method is used for taxation.
 Warranty expense is recognized at the time goods are sold but are tax deductible
only when actually paid. Tax deductible warranty expense for 20x2 amounted to
₱40,000.
 Pretax income in 20x2 is ₱1,000,000. Income tax rate is 30%.
