Overview
An intangible asset is an asset that is not physical in nature. Goodwill, brand recognition
and intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights, are all intangible assets.
Intangible assets exist in opposition to tangible assets, which include land, vehicles, equipment,
and inventory.
An intangible asset can be classified as either indefinite or definite. A company's brand
name is considered an indefinite intangible asset because it stays with the company for as long
as it continues operations. An example of a definite intangible asset would be a legal agreement
to operate under another company's patent, with no plans of extending the agreement. The
agreement thus has a limited life and is classified as a definite asset. While an intangible asset
does not have the obvious physical value of a factory or equipment, it can prove valuable for a
firm and be critical to its long-term success or failure.
Module Objectives
After successful completion of this module, you should be able to:
❖ understand the nature of intangibles per IAS 38;
❖ account for the acquisition and amortization of intangibles;
❖ account for subsequent expenditures affecting intangibles;
❖ understand accounting for research and development costs;
❖ recognize impairment of intangible assets (IAS 36);
❖ learn the internal control measures over intangible assets;
❖ determine how and at what amount intangibles are presented on the statement of financial
position; and
❖ identify the required disclosures for intangible assets.
Course Materials
Computer software
Purchased: capitalize Operating system for hardware: include in hardware cost Internally
developed (whether for use or sale): charge to expense until technological feasibility, probable
future benefits, intent and ability to use or sell the software, resources to complete the software,
and ability to measure cost. Amortization: over useful life, based on pattern of benefits (straight-
line is the default).
Cost Model
After initial recognition intangible assets should be carried at cost less accumulated
amortization and impairment losses. [IAS 38.74]
Revaluation Model
Intangible assets may be carried at a revalued amount (based on fair value) less any
subsequent amortization and impairment losses only if fair value can be determined by reference
to an active market. [IAS 38.75] Such active markets are expected to be uncommon for intangible
assets. [IAS 38.78]
Under the revaluation model, revaluation increases are recognized in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in the "revaluation surplus" within equity except to the extent that they
reverse a revaluation decrease previously recognized in profit and loss. If the revalued intangible
has a finite life and is, therefore, being amortized (see below) the revalued amount is amortized.
[IAS 38.85]

PROBLEMS
Show your complete solution, in good accounting form, on a separate sheet of paper.
Problem 1
Americano Co. developed a new machine for manufacturing baseballs. Because the machine is
considered very valuable, the company had patented it. The following expenditures were incurred
in developing and patenting the machine:
Research Salaries and fringe benefits for scientists P100,000
Cost of testing prototype 250,000
Legal cost for filing of patent 230,000
Fees paid to government patent office 140,000
Drawing acquired by patent office to be
filed with patent application 75,000
Problem 2
French Vanilla Company commenced operations in the current year. A number of expenditures
were made during the current year that were debited to one account Intangible asset.
Incorporation fees and legal costs related to organizing the
incorporation P150,000
Fire Insurance premium for three-year period 60,000
Legal fees for filing a patent on a new product resulting from an A&B
project 50,000
Purchase of copyright 300,000
Legal fees for successful defense of the patent developed from the
project 50,000
Entered into a 10-year franchise agreement with a franchisor 600,000
Advertising cost 50,000
Purchase of all the outstanding ordinary shares of an acquire. On the
date of purchase, the acquire had fair value of total assets, P6,000,000
and total liabilities of P2,200,000. 5,000,000
Problem 3
During 2019, Latte Inc., spent P5,000,000 developing its new “Hyperion” software package. Of
this amount, P2,200,000 was spent before technological feasibility was established for the
product, which is to be marketed to third parties. The package was completed at December 31,
a. What journal entries should have been prepared by the accountant in 2019 for the
foregoing facts?
b. Prepare the entry to record amortization at December 31, 2020.
Problem 4
Arabica Coffee Company acquired patent right on July 1, 2018 for P2,000,000. The asset
has a legal life of 15 years but due to the rapidly changing technology management
estimates a useful life of only 5 years. On January 1, 2019, management is uncertain that
the process can actually be made economically feasible and decides to write down the
patent to an estimated market value of P600,000. Amortization will be taken three years
from this time. On January 1, 2021, after having perfected the related production process,
the asset is now appraised at a sound value of P2,400,000. Furthermore, the estimated
useful life is now believed to have extended by six more years. The company uses the
straight-line method of amortization.
Compute for the following:
a. Amortization expense for 2018
b. Impairment loss to be recognized in 2019
c. Patent carrying value at December 31, 2020
d. Revaluation surplus recognized in 2021
Problem 5
Huagcang Gagalau Company was granted a patent on January 1, 2016 and capitalized
P440,000. The entity was amortizing the patent over the useful life of 15 years.
Overview
Many accountants falsely believe that there’s only one standard that deals with long-term
tangible assets: PAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE). While it’s true that you need to
apply PAS 16 for most of your long-term tangible assets, it’s not the one ruling all. I tried to falsify
this myth some time ago here. Except for IAS 16, we have a few other standards arranging the
long-term assets. PAS 40 Investment Property is one of them.
Under PFRS, investment property is property that an entity holds to earn rental income and/or
capital appreciation. It generates cash flows mostly independently of other assets held by an entity.
It is not property that an entity uses to supply goods or services, nor is it used for administrative
purposes. Examples of investment property are land held for appreciation and a building held for
current or future leases to third parties. Examples of assets that are not investment property are
property intended for sale in the near term, property being constructed for a third party, owner-
occupied property, and property leased to a third party under a finance lease.
Module Objectives
After successful completion of this module, you should be able to:
❖ define investment property and differentiate them from owner-occupied assets classified
as PPE;
❖ measure investment property upon initial recognition;
❖ measure investment property after initial recognition;
❖ account for transfer of classification from and into investment property; and
❖ identify required disclosures for investment property.
Course Material
The following are not investment property and, therefore, are outside the scope of PAS 40:
a. Property held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative
purposes (PAS 16 Property, plant and equipment)
b. Property held for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the process of construction
of development for such sale (PAS 2 Inventories)
c. Property being constructed or developed on behalf of third parties (PAS 11 Construction
Contracts)
d. Owner-occupied property (Property, Plant and Equipment), including property held for
future use as owner-occupied property, property held for future development and
subsequent use as owner-occupied property, property occupied by employees and owner-
occupied property awaiting disposal
e. Property leased to another entity under a finance lease (PAS 17/PFRS 16 Leases).
Partial own use - If the owner uses part of the property for its own use, and part to earn rentals
or for capital appreciation
➢ If the portions can be sold or leased out separately, they are accounted for separately.
Therefore, the part that is rented out is investment property.
➢ If the portions cannot be sold or leased out separately, the property is investment property
only if the owner-occupied portion is insignificant.
Ancillary services - If the enterprise provides ancillary services to the occupants of a property
held by the enterprise, the appropriateness of classification as investment property is determined
by the significance of the services provided.
➢ If those services are a relatively insignificant component of the arrangement as a whole
(for instance, the building owner supplies security and maintenance services to the
lessees), then the enterprise may treat the property as investment property.
➢ Where the services provided are more significant (such as in the case of an owner-
managed hotel), the property should be classified as owner-occupied.
RECOGNITION
➢ Investment property should be recognized as an asset
a. When it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the
property will flow to the enterprise
b. The cost of the property can be reliably measured.
Initial measurement
➢ Investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs.
➢ Such cost should not include start-up costs, abnormal waste, or initial operating losses
incurred before the investment property achieves the planned level of occupancy.
b. Fair value should reflect the actual market state and circumstances as of the end of the
reporting period. The best evidence of fair value is normally given by current prices on an
active market for similar property in the same location and condition and subject to similar
lease and other contracts. In the absence of such information, the entity may consider
current prices for properties of a different nature or subject to different conditions, recent
prices on less active markets with adjustments to reflect changes in economic conditions,
and discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows.
c. There is a rebuttable presumption that the enterprise will be able to determine the fair
value of an investment property reliably on a continuing basis. However, if, in exceptional
circumstances, an entity follows the fair value model but at acquisition concludes that a
property's fair value is not expected to be reliably measurable on a continuing basis, the
property is accounted for in accordance with the benchmark treatment under PAS 16,
Property, Plant and Equipment (cost less accumulated depreciation less accumulated
impairment losses).
d. Where a property has previously been measured at fair value, it should continue to be
measured at fair value until disposal, even if comparable market transactions become less
frequent or market prices become less readily available.
Cost Model
a. After initial recognition, investment property is accounted for in accordance with the cost
model as set out in PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment – cost less accumulated
depreciation and less accumulated impairment losses.
DISPOSALS
➢ An investment property should be derecognized on disposal or when the investment
property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected
from its disposal.
➢ The gain or loss on disposal is the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and recognized in profit or loss.
➢ Compensation from third parties is recognized when it becomes receivable.
PFRS for SMEs, Sec. 16 Investment Property, requires SMES to measure Property
Investments initially at cost including costs incurred to bring it into use and subsequently measure
at each balance sheet date at FMV, with the fair value movements to be recognized in the profit
or loss. If fair value cannot be determined without undue cost or effort, the real property shall be
treated as PPE. When fair value of investment property is no longer available without undue cost
or effort, the investment shall become PPE. This is a change in circumstance therefore, treated
currently and prospectively.

Problem 2
The Buckethead Company has a single investment property which had originally cost P580,000
on 1 January 2017. At 31 December 2019 its fair value was P600,000 and at 31 December 2010
it had a fair value of P590,000. On acquisition, the property had a useful life of 40 years.
What should be the expense recognized in Buckethead's profit or loss for the year ending
31 December 2020 under each of the fair value model and the cost model?
Problem 3
The Conehead Company purchased an investment property on January 1, 2017 for a cost of
P220,000. The property had a useful life of 40 years and on December 31, 2019 had a fair value
of P300,000. On January 1, 2020, the property was sold for net proceeds of P290,000. Conehead
uses the cost model to account for investment properties.
What is the gain or loss to be recognized in profit or loss for the year ended December
312020 regarding the disposal of the property?
Problem 2-4
Bangon Cagayanon Corporation acquired a building on January 1, 2021. The acquisition cost
was P= 5,000,000 payable at the rate of P = 1M at the beginning of each year starting January 1,
2021. The company paid option money totaling P = 400,000, P
= 85,221 of which is attributed to real
properties not acquired. The company also paid property taxes in arrears as of January 1, 2021
at P
= 147,872. The prevailing market rate of interest for transaction is 12%. The building is
estimated to have useful life of 25 Years.
Required:
1. How much the property should be initially recognized?
2. What is the carrying value property of the as of December 31, 2020, assuming that
the building is an owner-occupied property?
3. Using the information in number 2, how much impairment loss should be
recognized from the asset in the 2020 profit or loss?
Overview
When a company makes the decision to sell an asset or to stop some part of its business,
it is making a decision that affects the future cash flows, profitability, and overall financial situation.
The users of the financial statements should be informed about these events. Therefore, PFRS 5
Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations was issued to highlight the results
from continued operations and to separate them from the results of the ongoing activities.
PFRS 5 outlines how to account for non-current assets held for sale (or for distribution to
owners). In general terms, assets (or disposal groups) held for sale are not depreciated, are
measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and are presented
separately in the statement of financial position. Specific disclosures are also required for
discontinued operations and disposals of non-current assets.
Assets classified as non-current in accordance with PAS 1 Presentation of Financial
Statements shall not be reclassified as current assets until they meet the criteria to be classified
as held for sale in accordance with this PFRS. Assets of a class that an entity would normally
regard as non-current that are acquired exclusively with a view to resale shall not be classified as
current unless they meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale in accordance with this PFRS.
Module Objectives
After successful completion of this module, you should be able to:
❖ define non-current assets held for sale and identify the conditions required for asset/s to
be classified as held for sale;
❖ measure non-currents assets held for sale upon initial recognition;
❖ measure non-current assets held for sale after initial recognition; and
❖ identify required disclosures for non-current assets held for sale.
Course Material
SCOPE
• Classification and presentation requirements apply to all non-current assets and disposal
groups (as a whole)
NCA HELD FOR SALE REQUIREMENTS MET AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING
PERIOD
• An entity shall not classify a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale in those
financial statements when issued.
• When those criteria are met after the reporting period but before the authorization of the
financial statements for issue, the entity shall make appropriate disclosures
• The entity shall include any required adjustment to the carrying amount of a non-current
asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale in profit or loss from continuing
operations in the period the NCA ceases to be classified as held for sale.

PROBLEMS
Show your complete solution, in good accounting form, on a separate sheet of paper.
Problem 1
A piece of equipment with a carrying value of P 42,000 on January 1, 2020 meets the criteria for
classification as Held for Sale on March 31, 2020. The equipment is being depreciated over 5
years on a straight-line basis and has a remaining life of 3 years as of January 1, 2020. The
following additional information is available:
Problem 2
On January 1, 2020, IT’S SHOWTIME Corporation decided to dispose of an item of plant that is
carried in its records at a cost of P = 900,000, with accumulated depreciation of P = 160,000.
Depreciation on the plant since it was originally acquired has been charged of P = 10,000 per month.
The plant will continue to be operated until it is sold, at which time the operations of the plant will
be outsourced. The company undertook all the necessary actions to be able to classify the asset
as held for sale. It is estimated that it could sell the plant for its fair value, P
= 720,000, incurring
P
= 20,000 selling costs in the process. The plant has been depreciated at an amount of P = 10,000
per month.
On March 31, 2020, the plant had not been sold but, due to shortage of this type of plant, there
= 770,000. On June 30, 2020, IT’S SHOWTIME sold
had been an increase in the fair value to P
the plant for P
= 785,000 incurring P
= 25,000 selling costs.
Overview
Investments defined as the assets held by an entity for the accretion of wealth through
distribution such as interest, royalties, dividends and rentals, for capital appreciation or for other
benefits to the investing entity such as those obtained through trading relationships. These are
the assets not directly identified with the central revenue producing activities of the enterprise.
One category of a financial asset is the equity securities. Equity securities are those that represent
ownership in a company or rights to acquire ownership in a company or rights to acquire
ownership interests at an agreed-upon or determinable price and this is based on the intention of
the holding entity and the level of influence acquired by the investor over the operating and
financial policies of the investee.
Module Objectives:
After successful completion of this module, you should be able to:
❖ understand the nature of investment in equity securities;
❖ classify investments in equity securities in accordance with IFRS 9;
❖ measure investment at the date of initial recognition;
❖ formulate entries for transactions affecting investment in equity securities subsequent to
acquisition;
❖ measure investment in equity securities at the end of the reporting period and account for
changes in their carrying amount;
❖ apply the principles for reclassification of investment in equity securities
❖ present investment in equity securities and the resulting accounts and information in the
financial statements; and
❖ identify the required disclosures for investment in equity securities.
Course Material
They are initially recognized at cost (generally, the purchase price is the fair value at the
date of acquisition). Any transaction cost directly attributable to its acquisition is recorded
as expense. The journal entry to recognize its acquisition and year-end valuation,
respectively, are:
At each reporting date, the equity investments at FVTPL are adjusted at its fair market
value. Any increase or decrease in equity investments at FVTPL is recognized and
reported as part of the entity’s profit or loss for the period on the statement of
comprehensive income.
Upon sale or disposal of equity investments at FVTPL, any gain or loss is to be recognized
for the difference between the sales price or proceeds & the most recently recorded fair
value and it is reported in the profit & loss section in the statement of comprehensive
income. The journal entry to recognize the sale of equity investments at FVTPL is:
Upon sale or disposal of equity investments at FVTOCI, it is first adjusted to its fair value
(fair value is presumed its selling price), then the sale is recorded without recognizing any
profit or loss. The journal entry to recognize the sale of equity investments at FVTOCI is:
Cash xx
Equity Investments at Fair Value through OCI xx
(the amount recognized is equal to the sales price at the date of sale.)
Retained Earnings xx
Unrealized Loss on Equity Investments at FVTOCI xx
The amount transferred to retained earnings is the difference between the net selling
(sales) price and the initial cost of investment.
EQUITY METHOD
Investment in Associate uses equity method. The use of equity method is described as
follows:
On the date of acquisition, the fair value of the investee’s net assets exceeds their carrying
amount, the excess shall be amortized, as appropriate, as an adjustment to the investment
account and to the share in profit of associate. Adjustments to the carrying amount may
also be necessary for changes in the investor’s proportionate interest in the investee
arising from changes in the investee’s other comprehensive income. Such changes
include those arising from the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and from
foreign exchange translation differences. (IAS 28, paragraph 10).
Share in Profit of Associate xx
Investment in Associate xx
Any further excess of the cost of the investment and the investor’s share of the fair values
in net identifiable net assets of the associate at the date of acquisition of the investment
is attributable to goodwill. However, goodwill is not separately recognized and is carried
in the investment balance. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for
impairment, at least annually. If goodwill is assessed as impaired, the investor shall take
up its proportionate share in impairment loss as follows:
Share in Profit of Associate xx
Investment in Associate xx
If the cost of the investment is less than the equity in the fair value of the net identifiable
assets of the associate, indicating a bargain purchase for the investment, the investor shall
take up the difference as an adjustment in its share of profit of the associate in the period
of acquisition. The entry for such adjustment is
Investment in Associate xx
Share in Profit of Associate xx
If the carrying value exceeds the net proceeds of the investment, the entry for sale is
Cash xx
Loss on Sale of Investment xx
Investment in Associate xx
The journal entry to recognize the reclassification, if the fair value exceeds the
investment’s carrying value at the date when the significant influence is lost:
Equity Investments (at Fair Value) xx
Investment in Associate xx
Gain from Reclassification of Investment xx
The journal entry to recognize reclassification is (after the adjustment for fair value)
Investment in Associate xx
Equity Investments (at Fair Value) xx
Cash dividends are recognized as income regardless whether the dividends come from the
cumulative net income after the date of the investment (post acquisition retained earnings) or net
income prior to the acquisition of the investment (pre-acquisition retained earnings). Previously,
it was addressed in a PFRS that dividends from pre-acquisition retained earnings are liquidating
dividends. This treatment has now been superseded by revisions to PAS 27.
2. Stock dividends will also reduce the cost per share as a result of the same or original
cost being allocated to a larger number of shares. This will of course be a factor in
subsequent sale transactions related to the investment.
Let us assume that a shareholder has 50,000 shares with a total cost of 5,000,000 or 100 per
share and is issued 50,000 stock rights to acquire 10,000 shares at 140 each. The fair value of
the shares is 160 each and the stock right is 10 each.
Accounted for Separately Not Accounted for Separately
Total Fair Value of SR (50,000 x 10) 500,000 Only a “memo entry” is recorded for the receipt
of the stock rights. And the exercise and
Journal Entry: acquisition of the shares shall only be the
exercise price.
Investment in Stock Rights 500,000
Investment in Stocks 500,000 Exercise price (10,000 x 140) 1,400,000
• Accounting for stock rights separately has been the traditional approach followed for
several decades already although unlike before where the total cost of the investment is
multiplied by the fraction that can be developed by adding the fair value of the share and
the stock right (example: 5,000,000 x 10/170) depending whether the shares are quoted
“right-on” or “ex-right”. The fair value is simply used as the value to be allocated as the
separate investment of the stock rights based on the theoretical basis under PFRS 9 that
“all investments and contracts on those instruments must be measured at fair value”
• If stock rights are not accounted for separately, this is in line with another instrument
described in PFRS 9 known as embedded derivatives where the stock rights can be
rightfully classified. Embedded derivatives shall not be separated from the host contract
if the host contract is a financial asset. Of course, the investment in stocks is a financial
asset.
• That’s why it will be wise to proceed with caution and identify the requirements specifically
mentioned in the problem on how to treat stock rights since both treatments are acceptable
under PFRS 9.
Market value of share less Exercise Price Market value of share less Exercise Price
Number of rights to purchase one share + 1 Number of rights to purchase one share
The formulas are identical except for one little detail, the denominator for the “right-on” formula
shall have a plus 1 factor to represent the market value of the stock right that is included in the
market value of the share since it is quoted “right-on”.
Let’s assume that 50,000 shares are acquired for 5,000,0000 and 50,000 rights are issued to
purchase 12,500 shares or 4 rights to purchase on share at an exercise price of 100. The shares
are quoted at 125 and stock rights shall be accounted for separately.
The market value of the stock rights if “right-on” is 5 (125 – 100) / (4 + 1) and 6.25 is “ex-right”
(125 – 100) / 4. The cost of the new investment shall be
RIGHT-ON EX-RIGHT
Exercise price (12,500 x 100) 1,250,000 Exercise price (12,500 x 100) 1,250,000
Cost of stock rights (5 x 250,000 Cost of stock rights (6.25 x 312,500
50,000) 50,000)
Total cost of new investment 1,500,000 Total cost of new investment 1,562,500
Under situation 1, shares in lieu of cash, this shall be recognized as a property dividend and be
recorded as income at 750,000 (5,000 x 150), the fair value of the shares received. If the fair
value of the shares is not available, the amount of income shall be 1,000,000 (50,000 x 20)
Under situation number 2, cash in lieu of stock dividends, the “as if sold approach” shall be
followed. Step 1 will be to compute for the new cost per share if the share dividends were received
which is 50 per share (3,000,000 / 50,000 + 10,000 (20% x 50,000)). Then the number of share
dividends that would have been received shall be multiplied by 50 and compared to amount of
cash dividends received and a gain or loss on sale shall be recognized. Therefore, the gain is
100,000 (600,000 less (50 x 10,000))

Overview
A debt security is a kind of financial asset that is formed when one party lends money to
another. For example, bonds are debt securities issued by corporations and sold to investors.
Investors lend money to corporations in return for interest payments, along with the return of their
principal upon its maturity date. This module will discuss the accounting treatments for investment
in debt securities in line with the provisions of IFRS 9.
Module Objectives
After successful completion of this module, you should be able to:
❖ understand the nature of investment in debt securities;
❖ classify investments in debt securities in accordance with IFRS 9;
❖ measure investments in debt securities at the date of initial recognition and at reporting
date;
❖ formulate entries for transactions affecting investment in debt securities subsequent to
initial recognition;
❖ identify the required disclosures for investment in debt securities.
Course Material
The value of the bonds can be based on market quotation or the discounted value. Any
quotation for the debt security is expressed as a percentage of its face value. Thus, if P1,000,000
bond is quoted at 98, its bond price is P980,000; if P1,000,000 bond is quoted at 103, its bond
price is P1,030,000. If the quotation or purchase price is not available, the bond price or market
price is determined by discounting the maturity value of the bond and each remaining interest
payments at the market rate of interest for similar debt on that date. When computing the present
value, the interest rates are considered.
Accrued interest arises in the accounts when debt securities are purchased at any time
between the interest dates. This amount is excluded in the cost of the debt investment and is
recorded separately in an interest receivable or interest revenue account. Meanwhile, this will be
part of the cash paid at initial recognition.

Overview
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statement defines “Liabilities”, as a present obligation of
an entity arising from past transactions or events, the settlement of which is expected to result in
an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits.
Module Objectives
After successful completion of this module, you should be able to:
❖ understand the nature of financial liabilities;
❖ define liabilities and explain their essential characteristics (IAS 1);
❖ explain the nature of accounts payable, notes payable and bonds payable;
❖ describe the initial recognition of financial liabilities based on IFRS 9;
❖ describe the transactions subsequent to initial recognition of accounts payable, notes
payable and bonds payable;
❖ identify the process of settlement of financial liabilities; and
❖ present financial liabilities and relevant information in the financial statements.
Course Materials:
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Under IFRS, a financial liability can be either of the following items:
• A contractual obligation to pay cash to another entity or a potentially unfavorable exchange
of financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity.
• A contract probably to be settled in the entity’s own equity and that is a non-derivative
under which the entity may deliver a variable amount of its own equity instruments, or a
derivative that probably will be settled other than through the exchange of cash or similar
for a fixed amount of the entity’s equity.
However, rights, options and warrants issued by an entity on a pro-rata basis to existing
shareholders to issue own shares of capital are not financial liabilities but are equity.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
Accounts payable are trade liabilities arising from the purchase of goods or services that
are consumed or to be sold by the entity in the normal conduct of business.
Accounts payable is considered to be current when it is expected to be realized within one
year or in a normal operating cycle whichever is longer. And if there is no transaction cost,
accounts payable must be initially measured at the transaction price.
The liability for goods purchased must be recorded when the entity acquires from the seller
the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods. In most cases, this coincides with the
transfer of the legal title or the acquisition of ownership. The transfer of title depends on the terms
of purchase (which could either be FOB shipping point or FOB destination). A purchase made
towards the end of the accounting period, where goods are still in transit, should be recognized
as a liability when the term of shipment is FOB shipping point. The cost of the goods, likewise, is
included in the ending inventory. The record of goods received (inclusion in ending inventory)
should be in agreement with the liability (recognition of accounts payable). Both the liability and
the inventory should be reflected in the financial statements of the proper reporting period.
Illustration:
The balance in Copper Company’s accounts payable account at December 31, 2020 was
1,550,000 before any year-end adjustments relating to the following:
• Goods were in transit from a vendor to Copper on December 31, 2020. The invoice cost
was P70,000 and the goods were shipped FOB shipping point on December 28, 2020.
The goods were received on January 5, 2021.
• Goods shipped FOB shipping point on December 15, 2020 from a vendor to Copper, were
lost in transit. The invoice cost was P43,500. On January 3, 2021, Copper filed a P43,500
claims against the common carrier.
• Goods shipped FOB destination on December 24, 2020, from a vendor to Copper, were
received on January 7, 2021. The invoice cost was P16,500.
What amount should Copper report as accounts payable on its December 31, 2020 statement of
financial position?
Solution:
Accounts Payable – Unadjusted balance 1,550,000
Goods in transit 70,000
Goods lost in transit (FOB Shipping Point) 43,500
Accounts Payable – Adjusted balance 1,663,500
• For goods shipped FOB shipping point – title to the goods passes from seller to the buyer
at the point of shipment or point of delivery while goods shipped FOB destination – title to
the goods passes to the buyer upon receipt of the goods.
Illustration:
Assume GCQ Company purchased from MECQ Company with an invoice price of P100,000; term
FOB Shipping point, 2/10; n/30. GCQ Company uses periodic inventory system. Entries in the
books of GCQ Company to record the purchase and payment under the gross and net method
are:
Under Net Method, if payment is not made yet at the reporting date and the discount
period has already lapsed, an adjusting entry is needed to record as follows:
Purchase Discount Lost 2,000
Accounts Payable 2,000
This adjusting entry brings the accounts payable balance to P100,000. The adjustment is
made to reflect in the accounts the accurate amount of the resources expected to be given upon
settlement of the obligation in the subsequent period.
Under Gross Method, year-end adjustment is necessary if the account has not yet been
paid at year-end but subsequently settled during the subsequent reporting period within the
discount period. The adjustment is not necessarily made at year-end but is dated at the end of
the year. Adjusting entry is:
Allowance for Purchase Discount XX
Purchase Discount XX
NOTES PAYABLE
Notes Payable are written promises to pay a certain sum of money on a specified future
date. They may arise from purchases, financing, or other transactions. Some industries require
notes as part of the sales/purchases transaction in lieu of the normal extension of open account
credit, this is referred to as trade notes payable. Notes payable to banks or loan companies
generally arise from cash loans and these are classified as non-trade notes payable.
Companies classify notes as short-term or long-term, depending on the payment due date. Trade
notes payable is generally classified as current. Non-trade notes payable that are due and
payable within one year are treated as current. Whereas, if maturing beyond one year, it is
classified as noncurrent liability.
Notes may also be interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing. A non-interest-bearing note does not
explicitly state an interest rate on the face of the note. Interest is still charged, however.
Illustrations: Accounting for Interest-bearing notes payable
1. On July 1, 2020, Smart Company issued a 90-day, 10% notes for P200,000 to SMC Company
to settle its overdue account. (trade notes payable).
The entry by Smart Company to record the issuance of the notes is:

Every December 31, adjusting entry must be prepared to take up the accrued interest on the
notes payable.
Computation of proceeds:
Face value of notes payable P1,000,000
Less: Discount (P1,000,000 x 12% ) 120,000
Proceeds P880,000
The discount on notes payable of P120,000 is the interest for one year deducted in advance.
On December 31, adjusting entry to amortize the discount must be prepared. The
amortization is for the period November 1 to December 31 (2 months). The entry to amortize
the discount on Dec. 31, 2020 is:
Interest Expense 20,000
Discount on notes payable 20,000
(P120,000 x 2 mos./12 )
On November 1, 2020, the carrying value of the notes payable is P880,000. That is;
Face value of the note P1,000,000
Less: unamortized discount 120,000
Carrying value P880,000
On December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the above notes payable is P900,000. That is;
Face value of the note P1,000,000
Less: unamortized discount(P120,000-20,000) 100,000
Carrying value of note P900,000
On the due date of the note, which is on October 31, 2021, The entries to amortized the
unamortized discount of P100,000 and the payment of the note are as follows:
Interest Expense 100,000
Discount on notes payable 100,000
Illustrations:
1. On January 1, 2020, SOMO company acquired an equipment with a cash price of P350,000 for
P500,000. SOMO Paid down payment of P100,000 and issued a noninterest-bearing notes
payable for P400,000, payable in 4 equal annual installment of P100,000 every December 31.
The difference between P500,000 and the cash price of P350,000 represents the imputed
interest which is debited to the account discount on notes payable. The discount on notes
payable is periodically amortize by charging it to the account interest expense.
Using the amortization table below, the entries to record the above transaction for year 2020-
2023, are as follows:

2. Non-interest bearing note issued for property ( the cash price of the asset acquired is not
known).
On January 1, 2020, SOMO Company acquired an equipment for P1,000,000. The company
issued a noninterest-bearing note for P1,000,000 payable in 5 equal annual payment of
P200,000, every December 31. Assuming that the prevailing interest rate is 10%, the present
value of an ordinary annuity o 1 for 5 year at 10% is 3.7908. The cost of the equipment is equal
to the present value of the notes payable issued, computed as follows:
Interest is equal to the preceding present value multiplied by the implied interest rate. Thus,
for year 2020, P758,160 x 10% equals P75,816.
Principal is the periodic payment after deducting the interest. Thus, for year 2020, P200,000 –
P75,816 = P124,184.
Present value is the balance of the preceding present value after deducting the portion of
payment applied to principal. Thus, for year 2020, P758,160-P124,184=P633,976.
3. Noninterest-bearing notes payable issued for property acquired. (the note is payable in
lump-sum)
On January 1, 2020, Tiktok Company acquired Land for P1,000,000. Tiktok paid a down payment
if P100,000 and signed a promissory note for P900,000 which is due after three year on January
1, 2023. There was no established cash price for the equipment. The prevailing interest rate for
this type of note is 10%. The present value of 1 for 3 periods is .7513.
Computations:
1. Present value of the notes payable
Lump sum payment P900,000
Multiplied by present value factor .7513
Present value of the P900,000 notes P676,170
payable
2. Cost of land
Down payment P100,000
Add: Present value of the notes payable 676,170
Cost of Land P776,170
The discount on notes payable is amortized using the effective interest method, computed by
multiplying the preceding present value by the assumed interest rate. At maturity date of note,
its face value and present value are equal.
The entry to record the payment of the note on January 1, 2023, its due date would be:
Jan. 1, Notes Payable 900,000
2023
cash 900,000
A noninterest-bearing note may also be issued for money borrowed from a bank or a financing
company. The present value of such note is equal to the proceeds received. The difference
between the face value of the note and the proceeds received is the interest which is debited to
the account discount on notes payable.
Illustration: On April 1, 2020, Covie Company discounted its own one-year P150,000,
noninterest-bearing note with Metrobank at a discount rate of 10%. Covie will receive proceeds
of P135,000 from this loan. That is, P150,000 less P15,000 discount (10% of P150,000).
On issue date, April 1, 2020, the carrying value of the notes payable is P135,000. That is,
Face value of notes payable P150,000
Less: unamortized discount 15,000
Carrying value P135,000
2021 150,000
Mar. 31 Notes payable
Cash 150,000
Payment of notes payable.
Interest bearing notes payable is presented in the statement of financial position at face value.
Whereas noninterest-bearing notes payable is presented at present value.
BONDS PAYABLE
A bond is a certificate of indebtedness whereby the borrower agrees to pay a sum of
money at a specified future date plus periodic interest payments at the stated rate. They are
commonly issued in denominations of P1,000, P5,000, or P10,000, referred to as face value or
par value. A corporation may sell all of its bonds to an investment firm or underwriter, which
resell the bonds to the investing public. Bonds may also be sold directly to the investor.
The contract between the issuing corporation and the bondholder is known as bond
indenture. The bond indenture specifies the terms of the bonds, rights and duties of both
parties, restrictions and all other important details affecting the contracting parties.
Types of bonds:
Term bonds -bonds that mature on a single date.
Serial bonds -bonds that mature in installment.
Secured bonds -are those that provide security and protection to investor in the
form of specific assets of the issuer, such as real estate or other
collateral.
Unsecured bonds -or frequently called debentures, are not protected by the pledge
of any specific asset of the issuing corporation. The issue of
debenture bonds is generally based on the issuer’s favorable
credit rating.
Registered bonds -are bonds whose owner’s names are registered in the books of
the issuing corporation. When these bonds are sold, the transfer
agent cancels the original certificate surrendered by the seller and
a new certificate is issued and registered in the name of the new
bondholder.
Bearer bonds of -are not recorded in the name of the owner. Each bond is
coupon bonds accompanied by coupons representing periodic interest
payments, covering the life of the issue.
Bond liabilities are initially recognized at their discounted value, which equals the net
proceeds from their issuance. The issue price is the market price of the bond. The rate of interest
stated on the face of the bond is the contract rate/stated rate or nominal rate of interest. This
interest rate generally depends on the financial condition and earnings of the issuing corporation.
The interest rate which investor are willing to accept at the time of the bond issue depends
upon some factor such as the market evaluation of the quality of the bond issue as evidenced by
the financial strength of the business, the firm’s earnings prospects and the particular provisions
of the bond issue. This rate is referred to as the market rate/yield rate, or effective interest rate.
The sale of bonds at face value implies that the bonds stated interest rate is in agreement
with the market interest rate. Whereas bonds issued above its face value indicates that the bond’s
stated interest rate is higher that the market rate. In this case, the bonds will be sold at a premium.
On the other hand, if the stated rate is lower than the market rate, the issue price would be lower
than its face value. That is, the bonds will be sold at a discount.
Bond prices are quoted in the market as a percentage of face value. For example, a bond
quoted at 97 means that the market price is 97% of face value. Thus, the bond is selling a
discount. A quotation of 105 means that the market price is 105% of the face value. Thus, the
bond is selling at a premium.
Bonds issue costs are expenditures incurred by the issuing company for legal fees, printing and
engraving of bond certificates, taxes, commissions, and other charges. These costs form part of
the initial carrying amount of the bond liability. The net proceeds from bond issue is reduced by
the incurrence of bond issue costs. The amount of bond premium or discount is the difference
between the face value of the bonds and the net proceeds. In effect, bond issue cost is being
offset to the bond premium/discount. The entry to record bond issue cost is:

1. Bonds issued at face value (at par)-the stated interest rate and the effective rate are the same
2020
Jan. 1 Cash 2,000,000
Bonds Payable 2,000,000
2. Bonds issued at a premium (above par. The stated interest rate of 15% is higher that the 12%
effective rate)
On January 1, 2017, Orange Company issued a 5-year, P1,000,000, 15% bonds for
P1,110,401. The effective interest rate for similar bonds is 12%. Interest is payable semi-
annually every January 1 and July 1. The entries for year 2017 and 2018 to record transactions
relating to these bonds are:
2017
Jan. 1 Cash 1,110,401
Bonds Payable 1,000,000
Premium on bonds payable 110,401
Below is the amortization table of the bond premium for the entire term of the bond using the
effective interest method.
It is to be noted, that premium amortization decreases both the carrying value of the bond
and the interest expense. On maturity date, after the premium amortization for the entire term of
the bond, its carrying value of the bond will be equal to its face value. Premium on bonds payable
is an addition to the bonds payable. On December 31, 2017, the above bonds were presented in
the statement of financial position as follows:
Noncurrent Liabilities:
Bonds Payable P1,000,000
Add: Unamortized premium (110,401 - 8,376) 102,025 P1,102,025
At maturity date, the entry to record the payment of the bonds would be as follows:
Bonds Payable 75,000
Cash 75,000
3. Bonds issued at a discount (below par, with bond issue costs incurred)
A 5year, 12%, bonds with a face value of P1,000,000 were sold for P917,039 on January 1, 2020.
The issuer incurred a bond issue costs of P20,000. The bonds pay interest every July 1 and
January 1. The yield on the net proceeds is computed at 15%. Below is the amortization table of
the bond discount using the effective interest method.
The journal entries for the year 2020 and 2021 relating to the above bonds are as follows:
2020
Jan. 1 Cash 917,039
Discount on bonds payable 82,961
Bonds Payable 1,000,000
2021
Jan. 1 Interest Payable 60,000
Cash 60,000
Paid semi-annual interest of bonds.
If amortization of bond premium decreases both the bonds carrying value and interest
expense, the amortization of bond discount, increases both the bonds carrying value and interest
expense. Discount on bonds payable is a deduction from the bonds payable. On December 31,
2020, the above bonds will be presented in the statement of financial position as follows:
Noncurrent Liabilities:
Bonds Payable P1,000,000
Less: Unamortized discount (P102,961- 7,278) 95,683 904,317
Illustration:
On April 1, 2020, a Corporation issued bonds with a face amount of P5,000,000 at
P5,228,000 plus accrued interest. The bonds are dated January 1, 2020, mature in 5 year and
pay 12% interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1.
Computation of proceeds:
Issue price P5,228,000
Add: Accrued interest (from Jan.1 to Apr.1, 2020)
(P5,000,000 x12% x 3/12) 150,000
Total cash received P5,378,000
Illustrations:
1. A 15%, P1,000,000 bonds were issued on January 1, 2017 for P1,110,401, a price that
provides a yields of 12%. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. On
October 31, 2020, The P1,000,000 bonds were retired at 102 plus accrued interest.
On October 31, 2020, the issuer should update the interest and amortization of premium with the
following entry:
Interest Expense (1,000,000 x 15% x 4/12) 50,000
Interest Payable 50,000
Interest from July 2020 to Oct. 31, 2020.
If the retirement price is less than the carrying value of bonds retired, the difference is
gain. If the retirement price is more than the carrying value of bonds retired, the difference is loss.
TROUBLED-DEBT RESTRUCTURING
Some debtors experience difficulties in meeting their maturing obligations. For this reason, the
creditor may grant concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise grant under normal
conditions. This is called troubled debt restructuring. An entity shall remove a financial liability
from its statement of financial position when it is extinguished.
a. Asset swap is a settlement of debt by a transfer of non-cash assets like, real estate,
receivables or other assets. Asset swap may result to a gain or loss on the disposal of the
asset used as payment for the debt. A gain or loss is also computed for the difference between
the carrying value of the debt and the fair value of the asset swapped.
b. Equity Swap- The debtor’s financial liability is extinguished by the issuance of the debtor’s share
capital or other equity instruments.
c. Modification of terms-debt restructuring under modification of terms may take the form of one or
any combination of the following:
a. Reduction of stated interest rate
b. Reduction of the face amount of the debt
c. Reduction or condonation of accrued interest
The total discounted present value of future cash payments under the new terms is determined
using the original effective interest rate.
The entry to record the debt restructuring under modification of terms is:
Notes Payable 10,000,000
Interest Payable 1,200,000
Restructured notes payable 6,149,556
Gain on debt restructuring 5,050,444
