Investments

QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW OF KEY TOPICS


Question 12-1
Investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading
securities.

Question 12-2
Increases and decreases in the market value between the time a debt security is acquired and the
day it matures to a prearranged maturity value are ignored for securities classified as held-tomaturity. These changes arent important if sale before maturity isnt an alternative, which is the
case if an investor has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.

Question 12-3
The fair value of an equity security is considered readily determinable if its selling price (or
bid-and-asked quotation) is currently available on a securities exchange. When its fair value is not
readily determinable, an investment is carried and reported at cost. Any dividends received are
recognized as investment revenue, and a gain or loss is reported only when actually realized through
the sale of the investment.

Question 12-4
For investments to be held for an unspecified period of time, fair value information is more
relevant than for investments to be held to maturity. Changes in fair values are less relevant if the
investment is to be held to maturity because sale at that fair value is not an option. The investor
receives the same contracted interest payments and principal at maturity, regardless of movements in
market values. However, when the investment is of unspecified length, changes in fair values
indicate managements success in deciding when to acquire the investment and when to sell it, as
well as the propriety of investing in fixed-rate or variable-rate securities and long-term or short-term
securities.

Question 12-5
The way unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in the financial statements depends on
whether the investments are classified as securities available-for-sale or as trading securities.
Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value, and resulting holding gains and losses are not
included in the determination of income for the period. Rather, they are reported as a separate
component of shareholders equity, as part of Other comprehensive income.

Question 12-6

Comprehensive income is a more expansive view of the change in shareholders equity than
traditional net income. It encompasses all changes in equity from nonowner transactions. So, in
addition to net income, comprehensive income includes up to four other changes in equity: Net
unrealized holding gains (losses) on investments, Net unrecognized loss on pensions, Deferred gains
(losses) from derivatives, and Gains (losses) from foreign currency translation.

Answers to Questions (continued)


Question 12-7
Unrealized holding gains or losses on trading securities are reported in the income statement as if
they actually had been realized. Trading securities are actively managed in a trading account with the
express intent of profiting from short-term market price changes. So, any gains and losses that result
from holding securities during market price changes are suitable measures of success or lack of
success in achieving that goal.
On the other hand, unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available-for-sale are not
reported in the income statement. By definition, these securities are not acquired for the purpose of
profiting from short-term market price changes, so gains and losses from holding these securities
while prices change are not considered relevant performance measures to be included in earnings.

Question 12-8
Apparently, the drop in the market price of the stock is an other-than-temporary impairment. So,
when the investment is written down to its fair value, the amount of the write-down should be treated
as if it were a realized loss, meaning the loss is included in income for the period. Subsequent to the
other-than-temporary write-down, the usual treatment of unrealized gains or losses should be
resumed. Therefore, later changes in fair value will be reported as a separate component of
shareholders equity, accumulated other comprehensive income.

Question 12-9
When acquired, debt and equity securities are assigned to one of the three reporting
classifications held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. The appropriateness of the
classification is reassessed at each reporting date. A reclassification should be accounted for as
though the security had been sold and immediately reacquired at its fair value. Any unrealized
holding gain or loss should be accounted for in a manner consistent with the classification into
which the security is being transferred. Specifically, when a security is transferred:
1. Into the trading category, any unrealized holding gain or loss should be recognized in earnings
of the reclassification period.
2. Into the available-for-sale category, any unrealized holding gain or loss should be recorded as
a separate component of shareholders equity, Other comprehensive income.
3. Into the held-to-maturity category, any unrealized holding gain or loss should be amortized
over the remaining time to maturity.

Question 12-10
Yes. Although a company is not required to report individual amounts for the three categories of
investments held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading on the face of the balance sheet, that
information should be presented in the disclosure notes. The following also should be disclosed for
each year presented: aggregate fair value, gross realized and unrealized holding gains, gross realized
and unrealized holding losses, the change in net unrealized holding gains and losses, and amortized
cost basis by major security type. In addition, information about maturities should be reported for
debt securities, by disclosing the fair value and cost for at least 4 maturity groupings: (a) within 1
year, (b) after 1 year through 5 years, (c) after 5 years through 10 years, and (d) after 10 years.

Answers to Questions (continued)


Question 12-11
The equity method is used when an investor cant control, but can significantly influence the
investee. If effective control is absent, the investor still might be able to exercise significant
influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee if the investor owns a large
percentage of the outstanding shares relative to other shareholders. By voting those shares as a
block, the investor often can sway decisions in the direction desired. We presume, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, that the investor exercises significant influence over the investee when it
owns between 20% and 50% of the investee's voting shares.

Question 12-12
The equity method, like consolidation, views the investor and investee as a special type of single
entity. By the equity method, though, the investor doesnt include separate financial statement items
of the investee on an item-by-item basis as in consolidation. Rather, by the equity method, the
investor reports its equity interest in the investee as a single investment account. That single
investment account is periodically adjusted to reflect the effects of consolidation, without actually
consolidating financial statements.

Question 12-13
The investor should account for dividends from the investee as a reduction in the investment
account. Since investment revenue is recognized as the investee earns it, it would be inappropriate
to again recognize revenue when earnings are distributed as dividends. Rather, the dividend
distribution is considered to be a reduction of the investees net assets, indicating that the investors
ownership interest in those net assets declines proportionately.

Question 12-14
The equity method attempts to approximate the effects of accounting for the purchase of the
investee as a consolidation. Consolidated financial statements report acquired net assets at their fair
values. Both investment revenue and the investment would be reduced by the negative income
effect of the extra depreciation the higher fair value would cause. This would equal 40% x $12
million 10 years = $480,000 each year for ten years.

Question 12-15
The investment account was decreased by $40,000 (40% x $100,000). Cash increased the same
amount. There is no effect on the income statement.

Answers to Questions (concluded)


Question 12-16
When it becomes necessary to change from the equity method to another method, no adjustment
is made to the carrying amount of the investment. The equity method is simply discontinued and the
new method is applied from then on. The investment account balance when the equity method is
discontinued would serve as the new cost basis for writing the investment up or down to market
value in the next set of financial statements.

Question 12-17
A financial instrument is: (a) cash, (b) evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, (c) a
contract that (1) imposes on one entity an obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument
and (2) conveys to a second entity a right to receive cash or another financial instrument, or (d) a
contract that (1) imposes on one entity an obligation to exchange financial instruments on potentially
unfavorable terms and (2) conveys to a second entity a right to exchange other financial instruments
on potentially favorable terms. Accounts payable, bank loans, and investments in securities are
examples.

Question 12-18
These instruments derive their values or contractually required cash flows from some other
security or index.

Question 12-19
Since this fund wont be used within the upcoming operating cycle, it is a noncurrent asset. It
should be reported as part of Investments and funds.

Question 12-20
Part of each premium payment the company makes is not used by the insurance company to pay
for life insurance coverage, but rather is invested on behalf of the insured company in a fixedincome investment. As a result, the periodic insurance premium should not be expensed in its
entirety; an appropriate portion should be recorded instead as a noncurrent asset cash surrender
value.

Question 12-21
When a creditors investment in a receivable becomes impaired, due to a troubled debt
restructuring or for any other reason, the receivable is re-measured based on the discounted present
value of currently expected cash flows at the loans original effective rate (regardless of the extent to
which expected cash receipts have been reduced). The extent of the impairment is the difference
between the carrying amount of the receivable (the present value of the receivables cash flows prior
to the restructuring) and the present value of the revised cash flows discounted at the loans original
effective rate. This difference is recorded as a loss at the time the receivable is reduced.

Brief Exercise 12-4


These are securities available-for-sale and are reported at their fair value,
$4,000,000. We know this because securities held-to-maturity are debt securities an
investor has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Actively traded
investments in debt or equity securities acquired principally for the purpose of selling
them in the near term are classified as trading securities. The FedEx shares have
been held for over a year. They are classified as available-for-sale since all
investments in debt and equity securities that dont fit the definitions of the other
reporting categories are classified this way. Of course, the equity method isnt
appropriate either because 40,000 shares of FedEx certainly dont constitute
significant influence. Investments in securities available-for-sale are reported at fair
value.

Brief Exercise 12-5


Unlike for securities available-for-sale, unrealized holding gains and losses for
trading securities are included in earnings. S&L reports its $2,000 holding loss in
2006 earnings. When the fair value rises by $7,000 in 2007, that amount is reported in
2007 earnings. S&Ls journal entries for these transactions would be:

Unlike for trading securities, unrealized holding gains and losses for securities
available-for-sale are not included in earnings. S&L reports its $2,000 holding loss in
2006 as Other comprehensive income, a negative component of shareholders equity,
not earnings. When the fair value rises to $880,000 in 2007, the amount is reported in
2007 earnings is the $5,000 gain realized by the sale of the securities. S&Ls journal

Brief Exercise 12-7


An investor should account for dividends from an equity method investee as a
reduction in its investment account. Since investment revenue is recognized as the
investee earns it, it would be inappropriate to again recognize revenue when earnings
are distributed as dividends. Instead, the dividend distribution is considered to be a
reduction of the investees net assets, reflecting the fact that the investors ownership
interest in those net assets declined proportionately. Turners cash increased by $2
million (40% x $5 million). Its investment account declined by the same amount.
There is no effect on the income statement.

Brief Exercise 12-8


An investor should account for dividends from an investment not accounted for by
the equity method as investment revenue. Since Turner holds only 10% of ICA stock,
its assumed that it does not have significant influence over the company. Turners
cash increased by $500,000 (10% x $5 million). It also reports $500,000 as
investment revenue in the income statement.

Brief Exercise 12-9


With the equity method we attempt to approximate the effects of accounting for the
purchase of the investee as a consolidation. Consolidated financial statements report
acquired net assets at their fair values. Both investment revenue and the investment
would be reduced by the negative income effect of the extra depreciation the higher
fair value would cause. This would equal 30% x $50 million 15 years = $1 million
each year for fifteen years.

Because the drop in the market price of stock is considered to be other-thantemporary, LED records the impairment as follows:
Impairment loss ($4.50 x $ 100,000 shares) ...........
Investment in Branch Pharmaceuticals ..........

450,000
450,000

The investment is written down to its fair value, and the amount of the write-down
should be treated as if it were a realized loss, meaning the loss is included in LEDs
earnings for the period. Following the other-than-temporary write-down, the usual
treatment of unrealized gains or losses should be resumed. Therefore, later changes in
fair value will be reported as Other comprehensive income or loss - a separate
component of shareholders equity.

Brief Exercise 12-11


The investment would be increased by $12 million. Financial statements would
be recast to reflect the equity method for each year reported for comparative
purposes. A disclosure note also should describe the change, justify the switch, and
indicate its effects on all financial statement items.
No. If Pioneer changes from the equity method, no adjustment is made to the
carrying amount of the investment. Instead, the equity method is simply
discontinued, and the new method is applied from then on. The balance in the
investment account when the equity method is discontinued would serve as the new
cost basis for writing the investment up or down to market value in the next set of
financial statements. There also would be no revision of prior years, but the change
should be described in a disclosure note.

Securities held-to-maturity are debt securities an investor has the positive

Requirement 2
Financial statements would be recast to reflect the equity method for each year
reported for comparative purposes. A disclosure note also should describe the
change, justify the switch, and indicate its effects on all financial statement items.
Requirement 3
When a company changes from the equity method, no adjustment is made to the
carrying amount of the investment. Instead, the equity method is simply
discontinued, and the new method is applied from then on. The balance in the
investment account when the equity method is discontinued would serve as the new
cost basis for writing the investment up or down to market value in the next set of
financial statements. There also would be no revision of prior years, but the change
should be described in a disclosure note.

Exercise 12-20
1. c. According to SFAS 115, available-for-sale securities are investments in debt
securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities and
in equity securities with readily determinable fair values that are not
classified as trading securities. They are measured at fair value in the
balance sheet.
2. b. Available-for-sale securities include (1) equity securities with readily
determinable fair values that are not classified as trading securities and (2)
debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities.
Unrealized holding gains and losses are measured by the difference between
the amortized cost and fair value, excluded from earnings, and reported in
other comprehensive income. The balance is reported net of the tax effect
(ignored in this question). Thus, the difference at May 31, year 3 is $8,005
($643,500 fair value $635,495 amortized cost). This unrealized gain is
reported as a credit to accumulated other comprehensive income.
3. d. Debt securities that the company has the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity are classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are
reported at amortized cost. Under the provisions of SFAS 115, any
unrealized gains or losses are not recognized.

Increases and decreases in the market value between the time a debt security
is acquired and the day it matures to a prearranged maturity value are relatively
unimportant if sale before maturity isnt an alternative. For this reason, if an
investor has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity,
investments in debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and reported
at amortized cost rather than fair value in the balance sheet.

Requirement 4
Fuzzy Monkey reports its investment in the December 31, 2006, balance sheet
at its fair value, $70 million in this case. For investments in securities
available-for-sale, changes in market values, and thus market returns, provide
an indication of managements success in deciding when to acquire the
investment, when to sell it, whether to invest in fixed-rate or variable-rate
securities, and whether to invest in long-term or short-term securities.
To do this, we first need to determine the investments amortized cost (or book
value) at the end of the year:
Investment in bonds .........................................................
Less: Discount on bond investment ($14 .1 .11 million)
Amortized cost..............................................................

$80.00
13.79
$66.21

Then, to record it at fair value, we increase the investment by $70 66.21 =

Problem 12-6
Requirement 1
Beale should report its securities available-for-sale in its December 31, 2007,
balance sheet at their fair value, $54 million.
Requirement 2
The journal entry needed to enable the investment to be reported at fair value is:
Fair value adjustment ($4 debit to $5 debit)
Net unrealized holding gains and losses ($4 credit to $5 credit)

($ in millions)

Requirement 3
The reclassification adjustment to 2007 other comprehensive income is $2 million.
Beales statement of comprehensive income can be provided as (a) an extension of
its income statement, (b) as part of its statement of shareholders equity, or (c) in a
disclosure note in a manner similar to this:
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
($ in millions)

Unrealized holding gains (losses) on investments


$3
Reclassification adjustment of prior years unrealized
gain included in 2007 net income
(2)
Net unrealized holding gains (losses)
$1
Comprehensive income includes both net income and other comprehensive
income. Net income in 2007 includes the $3 million gain realized from selling the
Schwab shares. However, $2 million of that gain already has been reported in
comprehensive income as an unrealized holding gain in a prior year or years when
the shares value increased from $25 million to $27 million. To avoid doublecounting, Beale must compensate by reducing comprehensive income by the $2
million portion of the 2007 realized gain that already has been reported. Thats what
the reclassification adjustment does; it reduces this years comprehensive income by
the amount that was reported previously to keep it from being reported twice.

Case 12-1 (concluded)


Requirement 3
No, this does not imply that the securities involved had not previously been written up
above the original cost. Holding gains and losses from securities available-for-sale
are included in earnings when they are realized by selling the securities. When Sprint
sold the EarthLink securities, the fair value of the shares had apparently been written
up in previous years (securities primarily made up of EarthLink common stock had
produced unrealized holding gains). Those gains werent recognized in prior earnings
because they werent yet realized by selling the investment. Now, the gain is
recognized in 2004 when it is actually realized:

Research Case 12-2


[Note:

This case encourages the student to reference actual annual reports.]

The footnote that describes an investment in securities available-for-sale may be


headed by any one of a variety of captions or subsumed within another disclosure
note. Likewise, the caption by which the investments are reported in the balance sheet
can be reported separately as one of several asset titles or included within another
asset caption.
They will be reported as current or noncurrent assets depending on the intent of
management regarding the timing of their eventual sale. Realized gains or losses are
reported in the income statement if any of these securities were sold during any year
reported.
Investments in securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value. Unrealized
holding gains and losses from retaining securities during periods of price change are
not included in the determination of income for the period. Rather, they are
accumulated and reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate
component of shareholders equity. This means an unrealized holding gain would
increase shareholders equity and an unrealized holding loss would decrease
shareholders equity.
Because unrealized gains or losses cause changes in
shareholders equity, those changes are reported in the statement of shareholders
equity. [Some companies may not provide a statement of shareholders equity and
may provide a statement of retained earnings instead. Unrealized gains or losses have
no effect on retained earnings.] By definition, securities available-for-sale are not
acquired for the purpose of profiting from short-term market price changes, so gains
and losses from holding these securities while prices change are not considered
relevant performance measures to be included in earnings.
Cash outflows from acquiring these investments or inflows from selling them are
reported as investing activities in the companys comparative statements of cash
flows. Whether they are specifically identifiable depends on the degree of detail the
company uses in reporting its cash flows. Information on investing activities assists
investors and creditors by indicating the direction the company is directing its funds.
A disclosure note may provide information not available in the financial statements,
in part dependent on how much information the financial statements provide. Often
the footnote will indicate the cost of the securities.

Integrating Case 12-3


SFAS 115, Accounting For Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,
follows a mixed approach to transition to the new standard. It calls for either a
current approach or a prospective approach. Certain investments that previously were
reported at lower of cost or market were required by the new Standard to be reported
instead at their fair values. Fair values were not to be reported retrospectively, but
only from the effective date of the Standard forward. However, the cumulative
income effect of holding gains and losses created in years before the change are
reported by either a current approach or a prospective approach. For securities
classified as available-for-sale, unrealized holding gains and losses are reported as
part of Accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders equity as of
the beginning of the year of adoption. Unrealized holding gains and losses for
securities classified as trading securities were reported in earnings of the year of
adoption as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Pro forma
effects are not reported.

International Case 12-5


As stated in Renaults disclosure note, France, like the United States, uses the
equity method. However, unlike in the U.S., changes in the net assets of equity
method investees are not reported in net income. Instead, investment revenue consists
of dividends received.
Another difference relates to non-equity investments. These are valued at the
lower of cost or fair market value. In the U.S., they are classified as trading,
available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Trading and available-for-sale securities are
reported at fair value; held-to-maturity at amortized cost.

Research Case 12-6


Answers to the questions will, of course, vary because students will research
financial statements of different companies.
The responses should identify securities held that are classified as trading
securities, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Although a company is not
required to report individual amounts for the three categories of investments heldto-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading on the face of the balance sheet, that
information should be presented in the disclosure notes. If securities available-forsale are held, there may be unrealized gains or losses reported in the shareholders
equity section of the balance sheet. Investments in securities available-for-sale are
reported at fair value, and holding gains or losses are not included in the
determination of income for the period. Instead, they are reported as a separate
component of shareholders equity.
Unlike for securities available-for-sale, unrealized holding gains and losses are
included in income for trading securities. There may also be gains or losses from the
sale of investments during the year. There also will likely be investment revenue
(dividends or interest) in the income statement.
The statement of cash flows will report acquisitions or disposals of investments as
investing activities. Investment revenue is an operating activity.

In the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 2), Merck


describes its policy regarding investments classified as "cash
equivalents." It is consistent with the way most companies classify "cash
equivalents."
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -- Cash equivalents are comprised of
certain highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three
months.

Case 12-7 (continued)


Requirement 2
Merck (in the summary of significant accounting policies) describes its
policy regarding its available-for-sale securities in keeping with SFAS
115:
INVESTMENTS - Investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at
fair value, with unrealized gains or losses, to the extent not hedged, reported
net of tax and minority interests, in Accumulated other comprehensive
income. Investments in debt securities classified as held-to-maturity,
consistent with managements intent, are reported at cost. Impairment
losses are charged to Other (income) expense, net, for other-than-temporary
declines in fair value. The Company considers available evidence in
evaluating potential impairment of its investments, including the duration
and extent to which fair value is less than cost and the Companys ability
and intent to hold the investment.
Investments in securities available-for-sale are reported at fair
value. Unrealized holding gains and losses from retaining
securities during periods of price change are not included in the
determination of income for the period. Rather, they are
accumulated and reported as a separate component of
shareholders equity. This means an unrealized holding gain would
increase shareholders equity and an unrealized holding loss would
decrease shareholders equity. Because unrealized gains or losses
cause changes in shareholders equity, those changes are reported
in the statement of shareholders equity.
In the balance sheet, unrealized gains or losses may be reported
under that title, as "other" shareholders equity, or some different
caption.
Gross unrealized holding gains and losses of Merck are reflected as
adjustments to "accumulated other comprehensive income," net of
related income taxes. Realized gains or losses are reported in the
income statement if any of these securities were sold during any
year reported.

Case 12-7 (continued)


Requirement 3
Investments accounted for using the equity method are described in the
note:
9. Joint Ventures and Other Equity Method Affiliates (in part)
In 2000, the Company and Schering-Plough Corporation (Schering-Plough)
entered into agreements to create separate equally-owned partnerships to develop
and market in the United States new prescription medicines in the cholesterolmanagement and respiratory therapeutic areas. The results from the
Companys interest in the Merck/ Schering-Plough partnership are recorded in
Equity income from affiliates and were income of $132.0 million in 2004 and
losses of $92.5 million and $147.4 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively.
In addition, Merck earns certain Partnership returns, which are recorded in
Equity income from affiliates. Such returns include a priority return provided for
in the Partnership Agreement, variable returns based, in part, upon sales of
certain former Astra USA, Inc. products, and a preferential return representing
Mercks share of undistributed AZLP GAAP earnings. These returns aggregated
$646.5 million, $391.5 million and $640.2 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The decrease in 2003 is attributable to a reduction in the
preferential return, primarily resulting from the impact of generic competition for
Prilosec.
Investments in affiliates accounted for using the equity method, including
the above joint ventures, totaled $2.5 billion at December 31, 2004 and $2.2
billion at December 2003. These amounts are reported in Other assets. Dividends
and distributions received from these affiliates were $587.0 million in 2004,
$553.4 million in 2003 and $488.6 million in 2002.

Real World Case 12-8


Requirement 1
The note indicates Unrealized holding losses during 2004 in the amount of $1,846
million. This is not the amount Microsoft would include as a separate component of
shareholders equity. Actually, the balance sheet amount is the Accumulated net
unrealized holding gains. That is, over time, there have been, presumably, both
unrealized gains and losses. This is the net, accumulated amount. The 2004 amount
in the disclosure note is the 2004 addition to the accumulated amount.
Requirement 2
Reclassification adjustment for losses included in net income refers to unrealized
holding losses that occurred in periods prior to the period in which the securities are
sold. Holding gains and losses from securities available-for-sale are included in
earnings when they are realized by selling the securities. When Microsoft sold
securities in 2004, the entire decrease in the fair value of the shares since the
investment was acquired was included in earnings. The portion of that decline that
occurred prior to 2004, but wasnt recognized in prior earnings because it wasnt yet
realized by selling the investment, is what Microsoft refers to as its reclassification
adjustment.
Net income in 2004 includes the $973 million realized losses. However, $973 million
of that amount already has been reported in comprehensive income as unrealized
holding losses in periods when the price decline occurred. To avoid double-counting,
Microsoft compensates by increasing comprehensive income by the $973 million of
2004 realized losses that already have been reported. Thats what the reclassification
adjustment does; it adjusts this years comprehensive income by the amount that was
reported previously to keep it from being reported twice.
Requirement 3
In addition to net income, comprehensive income includes up to four other changes
in equity: Net unrealized holding gains (losses) on investments, Net unrecognized loss
on pensions, Deferred gains (losses) from derivatives, and Gains (losses) from foreign
currency translation.
Three of these Net gains (losses) on derivative instruments, Net unrealized holding
gains (losses) on investments, and Gains (losses) from foreign currency translation
are specifically mentioned in Microsofts disclosure note, so other refers to Net
unrecognized loss on pensions.
