E 3.1

Hoda Inc. owns 25% of the common shares ofWillard Corp. The other 75% of the shares are

owned by the Willard family. Hoda acquired the shares eight years ago through a financing

transaction. Each year, Hoda has received a dividend from Willard.Willard has been in business

for 60 years and continues to have strong operations and cash flows. Hoda must determine the

fair value of this investment at its year end. Since there is no market on which theshares are

traded, Hoda must use a discounted cash flow model to determine fair value. Hoda management

intends to hold the shares for five more years, at which time they will sell the sharesto the

Willard family under an existing agreement for $1 million. There is no uncertainty in this

amount.Management expects to receive dividends of $80,000 for each of the five years, although

there is a 20% chance that dividends could be $50,000 each year. The risk-free rate is 4% and the

risk-adjusted rate is 6%.

Q 1) Identify some of the items Hoda will need to consider in determining the fair value of the

investment.

AnsCalculating fair value of an investment involves three basic steps.

 Take an estimate of the expected cashflows from the investment you had made.

 Select a discounting rate, based on the cost of financing the investment or the

opportunity cost presented by alternative investments.

 Then discount the forecasted cashflows back to the present day, using a financial

calculator, a manual calculation or a spreadsheet.

Key Inputs should be

Discount Rate

 Cost of Equity, in valuing equity.

Intermediate Accounting 3

 Cost of Capital, in valuing the firm

Cash Flows

 Cash Flows to Equity.

 Cash Flows to Firm

Growth (to get future cash flows)

 Growth in Equity Earnings.

 Growth in Firm Earnings (Operating Income)

Q 3) Calculate the fair value of the investment using the expected cash flow approach.

Ans.

Given Values are

Fair Value = 10,00,000

No.of years =5

Rate of Interest = 4%

Risk Adjustment Rate = 6%

To Find

Present Value = To Determine

PMT = To Determine

Expected %

Funds Percentage % Value

$50000 20 $10000
$80000 80 $64000
Total 100% $ 74000

Total Div = $74000

Therefore
Fair Value = $1000000
No. of years = 5
I/Y = 4% (0.04)
PMT = $74000
PV = Calculated using financial calculator

Fair value of the investment for the expected cash flow is = $1151361.96
Intermediate Accounting 6

Q 4) In this case, which discounted cash flow model is the best? Why?

Ans .Discounted cash flow (DCF) method is used to estimate the value of an investment on the

basis of its expected future cash flows. DCF analysis tries to calculate the value of an investment

for today, on the basis of some projections to show how much money it will generate in

the future. This is applicable in the cases where one needs to make changes to their businesses,

such as purchasing new equipment or the expansion of the manufacturing unit.

In this case we can use NPV(Net Present Value) method

NPV is a technique for converting each of these projected annual cash flow amounts into today-

equivalent amounts so that each year’s projected cash flows can be calculated and can be

compared.

In our case we are given very accurate assumptions relating to the profits which the company

will be making in the given set of time frame of 5years.

(a) Discuss the usefulness of a conceptual framework.

Ans. A conceptual framework is an analytical tool. It can be applied in different areas of work

where anbig picture of the scenario is required. The main reason for developing a conceptual

framework are that gives a framework for setting accounting standards, a basis for resolving

accounting disputes and fundamental principles which then do not have to be repeated in

accounting standards. Furthermore, Conceptual Framework can be categorized in terms of the

distinctive function of management accounting within the management process in organizations.

Moreover, the way in which the utility of the outcomes of the management accounting process

can be tested. Conceptual Framework is a criteria which can be used to assess the value of the

processes and work technologies used in management accounting and capabilities necessarily

associated with the effectiveness of the management accounting function overall.

(b) For each of the situations above, list the foundational principle or qualitative

characteristic of financial information that has been violated.

Ans) The list of all the foundational principle for each of the above mentioned case are listed

below

Case 1) The treasurer of Sweet Grapes Corp. would like to prepare financial statements only

during downturns in the company's wine production, which occur periodically when the grape

crop fails. He states that it is at such times that the statements could be most easily prepared. The

company would never allow more than 30 months to pass without statements being prepared.

Observation

Periodicity assumption – Financial Statements must be informed in a timely manner.

Timeliness – User should get information when they needed to make decision.
Intermediate Accounting 8

Case 2) Tower Manufacturing Ltd. decided to manufacture its own widgets because it would be

cheaper than buying them from an outside supplier. In an attempt to make its statements

comparable with those of its competitors, Tower charged its inventory account for what it felt the

widgets would have cost if they had been purchased from an outside supplier. (Do not use the

revenue recognition principle.)

Observation:-

Historical Cost Principle – Record what you actually paid.

Verifiability – Historical cost is considered as a fact where as others are considered as opinions

Case 3) Cargo Discount Centres buys its merchandise by the truckload and train carload. Cargo

does notinclude any transportation costs in calculating the cost of its ending inventory. Such costs,

althoughthey vary from period to period, are always material in amount.

Observation:-

Historical Cost Principle – Record what you actually paid.

Matching Principle / Comparability – Must match revenues and expenses so that reporting

from different periods are comparable.

Case 4) Quick & Healthy, a fast-food company, sells franchises for $100,000, accepting a $5,000

down paymentand a 25-year note for the remainder. Quick & Healthy promises to assist in site

selection,building, and management training for three years. Quick & Healthy records the full

$100,000 franchisefee as revenue when the contract is signed.

Observation:-

Revenue Recognition & Realization Principle .

Case 5) Kalil Corp. faces a possible government expropriation (that is, takeover) of its foreign

facilities andpossible losses on amounts that are owed by various customers who are almost

bankrupt. The companypresident has decided that these possibilities should not be noted on the

financial statements because Kalil still hopes that these events will not take place.

Observation:-

Full disclosure

Case 6) Maurice Norris, owner of Rare Bookstore Inc., bought a computer for his own use. He

paid for the computer by writing a cheque on the bookstore chequing account and charged the

Office Equipment

account.

Observation:-

Economic entity and assumptions.

Case 7) Brock Inc. decides that it will be selling its subsidiary, Breck Inc., in a few years. Brock

has excluded Breck's activities from its consolidated financial results.

Observation:-

Economic entity and assumptions.

Case 8) Wilhelm Corporation expensed the purchase of new manufacturing equipment.

Observation:-

Matching Principle.
Intermediate Accounting 10

Case 9) A large lawsuit has been filed against Mahoney Corp. Mahoney has recorded a loss and

related estimated liability that is equal to the maximum possible amount that it feels it might lose.

Mahoney is confident, however, that either it will win the suit or it will owe a much smaller

amount.

Observation:-

Matching Principle.

P 3.2 M&B Tooling Ltd. is assessing two available options for the purchase of new equipment
with a negotiated cash price of $100,000. The manufacturer is willing to accept a down payment
of 20% of the purchase price and an instalment note for the balance. The note would require
quarterly fixed principal payments (plus interest) starting October 1, 2020,for a period of two
years. M&B has a proposal from its bank for an instalment loan for two years that requires a
fixed blended monthly payment (including both principal and interest) starting August 1, 2020.
The loan would be for 80% of the equipment's purchase price. The current market rate of interest
is 8%. Both contracts have an interest rate of 8%
A) Is there any measurement uncertainty in determining which option is best for
M&B? Which discounted cash flow approach should be used in the comparison of
the two alternatives?
No, there is no measurement uncertainty in determining which option is best for M&B
Tooling Ltd,
The traditional discounted cash flow approach should be used to compare the two
available alternatives.
B) Calculate the amount of the payments required of M&B under each alternative. Use
either a financial calculator or Excel functions
