Assets Equities
Recognition and Measurement of Liabilities
Theoretical measurement criteria Present value of future cash flows
Debt vs. Equity
Definition requires classification of all right-hand side items into either liabilities or equity
Complex financial instruments now in existence make this difficult
Need additional criteria
Consolidated Set of Decision Factors
Maturity date Claim on assets Claim on income Market valuation Voice in management Maturity value Intent of the parties
Consolidated Set of Decision Factors
Preemptive right Conversion factor Potential dilution of EPS Right to enforce payment Good business reasons for
issuing Identity of interest between
security holders
FASB Position on Debt and Equity
FASB recognized that problems exist
resurrected discussion memorandum: "Distinguishing between Liability and Equity Instruments and
Accounting for Instruments with Characteristics of Both. " The impetus is increasing use of complex financial
instruments have both debt and equity characteristics
FASB Position on Debt and Equity
Tentative conclusions have led to development of an approach based on characteristics of liabilities and equity. Step 1: determine whether the component includes an
obligation. Financial-instrument components that embody
obligations that require settlement by a transfer of cash or other assets Classify as liabilities
because they do not give rise to the possibility of establishing an ownership interest by the holder.
FASB Position on Debt and Equity
Obligations permitting or requiring settlement by the issuance of stock give rise to liability-equity classification questions. Classify component as liability if the relationship is that
of a debtor or creditor. The proceeds of issuance of a compound financial
instrument that includes both liability and equity components should be allocated to its liability and equity components using the relative fair-value unless that is impracticable.
Major Classifications of Long Term Debt
BondsPayable
Leases
Pensions
DeferredTaxes
Bonds Payable Why businesses issue bonds
1 Only available source of funds2 Debt financing has a relatively lower
cost3 Debt has a tax advantage4 Voting privilege not shared
Trading on the equity
Bond Classifications
Mortgage Debenture
Registered Coupon
Bond Selling Prices
Stated vs. effective interest rate
Premium or discount How is a bond selling price
determined?
Example XYZ Corporation sells
$100,000 of 10-year bonds Stated interest rate of 10% to yield 9% Interest on these bonds is payable annually each
December 31
Example
To calculate the bond selling pricePV of Principle
$100,000 X 0.422411 = $ 42,241.10PV of Interest $10,000 X 6.417658 = 64,176.58
Bond selling price $106,417.68
For 12%, the same type of calculation will result in a bond selling price of $88,699.53.

Issue price is $32,197 Discount is $67,803
Accounting treatment Why popular?
Call Provisions Early extinguishment of debt
Debt retirement Debt refunding ARB No. 43 possibilities APB No. 26 requirements
SFAS No. 76 Debtor has paid creditor Debtor legally released (legal defeasance) Debtor places assets in trust fund
(in-substance defeasance) SFAS No. 125
In-substance defeasance not longer acceptable
Convertible Debt
Reason for issuing Complex financial instrument Current treatment is to ignore conversion feature
Convertible Debt
Exposure draft suggested:1 Classify based on the contractual terms in effect
at issuance. 2 Classify as a liability if the instrument embodies
an obligation to transfer financial instruments to the holder if the option were exercised.
3 Classify in accordance with the fundamental financial instrument having the highest value.
4 Classify based on the most probable outcome.
Long-Term Notes Payable
Notes exchanged solely for cash are presumed to carry an appropriate rate of interest
Exchanges of notes for property, goods and services cannot be recorded at an inappropriate rate of interest
If interest rate is clearly inappropriate FMV of property exchanged FMV of note Impute an interest rate
Short-Term Debt Expected to be Refinanced To classify as long-term must meet two
conditions:1 Intent to refinance2 Ability to refinance
Deferred Credits
Question: Are they liabilities? Usually based on the
necessities of double-entry accounting
Contingencies Gain Loss Accounting treatment
Other Liability Measurement Issues
Off balance sheet financing SFAS No. 105 SFAS No. 107
Examples Risks of loss due to credit risk
and market risk Disclosures
Other Liability Measurement Issues
Derivatives Definition Types:
1 Forward2 Future3 Option4 Swap5 Hybrid
SFAS No. 133 Derivative instrument:
any financial contract that provides the holder with the right (or obligation) to participate in the price change of an underlying asset
Must recognize all derivatives as assets and liabilities and measure them at fair value
Derivative may be specified as:a Fair value hedgeb Cash flow hedgec Hedge of foreign currency exposure
Gains or losses for hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries reported as translation adjustments in OCI
All others as income

International Accounting Standards
The IASC addressed the following issues relating to long-term liabilities:1 Debt and equity classifications in IAS No. 32,
"Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation."2 Contingencies in IAS No. 37, “Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets”3 Financial instruments in IAS No. 39, “Financial
Instruments - Recognition and Measurement”
IAS No 32: Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation
Financial liabilities: contractual obligations to deliver cash
or another financial asset to another enterprise
or to exchange financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially unfavorable
Equity instruments contracts that evidence a residual
interest in the assets of an enterprise after deducting all of its liabilities
IAS No 32: Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation
Requires companies to disclose information about their financial liabilities including:
1. How they might affect the amount, timing, and certainty of future cash flows
2. The associated accounting policies and basis of measurement applied.
3. The exposure of an enterprise's liabilities to interest rate risk
4. Information about the fair value of an enterprise’s financial liabilities
IAS No. 37: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Recognize a contingency when it is probable (more likely than not)
that resources will be required to settle an obligation
and that the amount can be reasonably estimated
IAS No 39: Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement Financial liabilities are recognized and
initially measured at cost
Subsequently, most are amortized derivatives and liabilities are remeasured at fair
market value Remeasured liabilities may either be :
1 Recognized entirely in net profit or loss for the period
2 Recognized in net profit or loss for only financial liability held for trading purposes
