Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Nature of Investments
1/22/2014

Investment activities refer to activities related to the acquisition of long-term assets and other investments. Entities invest in long-term assets (e.g. property, plant and equipment and intangible assets) to create capacity to produce goods and services. Other investment refers to investment in assets which do not augment or maintain the capacity of producing goods and services. Investments in other assets are classified as investments in the balance sheet.

Objectives
1/22/2014

Entities invest in other investments earn a regular return (e.g. rent, interest and dividend income) and capital appreciation.
Entities, as a part of treasury function, invest short- term funds in treasury bills and other money market instruments. Temporary surplus is also invested in units of mutual funds. A long-term surplus (e.g. fund which is planned to be used in business over a long period) is invested in equity instruments and long-term debt instruments issued by other non-government entities and governments.

568

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Trade Investments
1/22/2014

Entities often invest outside the business to earn trade benefits.

For example, entities invest in major suppliers and major customers to earn trade benefits.

If investment in the equity of another entity is 20% or more of the equity of that other entity, that other entity (investee) is considered to be the associate of the investor.

It is assumed that the investor can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the investee, although it cannot control that entity.
569

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Group
1/22/2014

Control is defined as The power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. If an entity holds more than 5% of the equity of an entity or controls the composition of the Board of Directors, it is assumed that the investor controls the investee.

The investor company is called the holding company and the investee company the subsidiary of the investor.

570

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Group (cont.)
1/22/2014

The parent and its subsidiaries form a group. Usually, an internal banking system operates in a group.

Companies invest their surplus fund in other companies within the group.

Those investments are usually in the form of intercorporate investments in equity and debt capital.

The Companies Act, 1956 imposes certain restrictions on inter-company investments to protect the interest of non-controlling shareholders in those companies.

Investment in Financial Statements


1/22/2014

Classification
Investment in financialassets

Held to maturity (Debt instruments not classified as available for sale)

Held for trading (Debt and equity instruments held for trading)

Loans and receivables

Available for sale (Debt and equity instruments not held for trading); and debt instruments not classified as held to maturity 573

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Measurement
1/22/2014

Investments in financial instruments are initially measured at fair value. But subsequent measurement is not uniform for all types of investments.

Held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables are carried in the balance sheet at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Held-for-trading investments and available-for-sale investments are carried in the balance sheet at the fair value at the balance sheet date.

574

HELD-TO-MATURITY INVESTMENTS
575

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Definition
1/22/2014

Held-to-maturity investments are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that an entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity other than those that the entity designates as available for sale. If an entity has sold or reclassified not an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments in the current year, it is not allowed to classify any investment as held-to-maturity in the current year and in two subsequent years.

This provision is called tainting provision.


576

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Initial Measurement
1/22/2014

At the date of acquisition, held-to-maturity investments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment. Fair value at the acquisition date is the exit price at the measurement date.

Therefore, in normal circumstances, the cost of investment should be higher than the fair value, because the exit price is lower than the purchase price.

However, as the bid-ask spread is considered a transaction cost, practically, held-to-maturity investments are initially recorded at the transaction price plus directly attributable transaction costs.
Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

577

Bid-ask Spread
1/22/2014

Dealers in financial markets follow the principle of buying low and selling high. The price they quote to buy is called bid price, and the price that they quote to sell is called ask price. The difference between the bid price and the ask price, which is called the bid-ask spread, is their margin. For example, a market maker quotes Rs. 98Rs. 100 for shares of a listed company.
The bid-ask spread is Rs. 2. The fair value is Rs. 98. The bid-ask spread of Rs. 2 is considered as transaction cost.

578

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Bid-ask Spread (cont.)


1/22/2014

In stock market, which operates under the quotedriven mechanism, market makers give two-way quotes.

They quote the bid and ask prices at the same time.

Indian stock exchanges order-driven mechanism is prevalent.


In order-driven trading mechanism, any market participant can enter an order which is visible over the market screen. Other participants view the same and enter a counter order at same price or price suitable for them. Trade occurs when orders match. Bid-ask spread is irrelevant.

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

579

Subsequent Measurement
1/22/2014

Held-to-maturity, investments are carried in the balance sheet at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Effective interest rate is determined at the time of acquisition of the financial asset. Effective interest rate is also called yield to maturity and internal rate of return (IRR).

580

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Illustration 1
1/22/2014

On 1 January, 2010, Satyiki Limited (SL) acquired a bond with face value of Rs. 100,000 and coupon rate of 7% at Rs. 110,000.
The remaining period to maturity is four years. Interest is payable by the issuer of the bond at the end of each year (31 December) and the principal will be refunded at the end of the fourth year. The transaction cost was 0.4% of the purchase price.

Required

Calculate the effective interest rate.


581

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Illustration 1: Solution

The acquisition cost is Rs. 110,440 (110,000 1.004). Cash inflow at the end of each of the first three years is Rs. 7,000. At the end of the fourth year, cash inflow will be Rs. 107,000. Therefore, IRR should be calculated taking cash flow of (minus) Rs. 110,440 at the beginning of the first year (1 January, 2010), which is referred as year 0. Cash flow at the end of each of year: years 1, 2 and 3 is Rs. 7,000, and at the end of year 4 Rs. 107,000. IRR is the discount rate at which the present value of the cash flow stream is zero. Using the IRR function in the Microsoft Excel, we get the IRR of 4.1160%.

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Impairment
1/22/2014

An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when the financial asset is impaired and through the amortisation process. Impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash inflows discounted using the effective interest rate determined at the time of initial recognition.

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

586

Illustration 3
1/22/2014

Consider the facts in the Illustrations 1 and 2. While assessing the impairment of the investment, SL estimates that the issuer of the bond will be able to repay only Rs. 95,000. Estimate the impairment loss and explain the accounting for interest income for all the four years. Also calculate the amount at which the investment will be presented in the balance sheet at the end of each of the four years. Assume that the issuer negotiated with the bond holders on maturity and settled the obligation by repaying Rs. 95,000 against each bond with the face value of Rs. 100,000.

The closing balance at the end of the second year, before adjustment for impairment loss was Rs. 105,439.32. The present value of the future expected cash flows calculated using the effective interest rate of 4.12% is Rs. 100,810.50 [7,000/1.0412 +102,000/(1.0412)2]. The impairment loss is Rs. 4,628.82 (105,439.32 100,810.50).

591

Reversal of Impairment Loss


1/22/2014

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. The reversal shall not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

LOANS AND RECEIVABLES


593

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Definition
1/22/2014

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Examples of loan and receivables are amount due from customers and other debtors, loans to employees and vendors, and loans and advances by a bank to its constituents.

594

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Initial Measurement
1/22/2014

Loans and receivables are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment. Short-term receivables are measured at the original invoice amount if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

If the impact of discounting is material, the receivable is measured at the present value. The difference between the transaction price and the present value is recognised as interest income over the expected settlement period.

595

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Initial Measurement (cont.)


1/22/2014

Loans are recognised at the transaction price. However, loans granted at concessional rates of interest are measured at the present value of the contracted or estimated cash inflows. The present value is calculated by discounting cash inflows by the market interest rate.

596

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Subsequent Measurement
1/22/2014

Loans and receivables are carried in the balance sheet at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The principles and methods are the same as those which are applied for accounting for held-tomaturity investments.

597

HELD-FOR-TRADING INVESTMENTS
600

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Definition
1/22/2014

A financial asset that is acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term or that is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of shortterm profit-taking.

Held-for-trading investment can be a debt instrument or an equity instrument issued by another entity.

601

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Initial Measurement
1/22/2014

At the date of acquisition, held-for-trading investments are measured at fair value.

Transaction costs are recognised in the profit or loss as expenses for the period in which the investment is acquired.

Fair value at the acquisition date is the exit price at the measurement date. Therefore, if the investor purchases a financial asset in a stock market which operates under a quote-driven mechanism and classifies it as heldfor-trading investment, it has to recognise the bidask spread a loss immediately.

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

602

Initial Measurement (cont.)


1/22/2014

In India, stock markets operate under order- driven mechanism.

There are no two-way quotes.

Therefore, held for trading investment acquired in an Indian stock exchange is recorded at the transaction price. If the transaction price is cum-dividend the amount of dividend that is receivable is considered recovery of the part of the purchase price.

Therefore, the investment is measured at the transaction price reduced by the amount of dividend.
603

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Cum-dividend and Ex-dividend


1/22/2014

Dividend is paid to holders who are on the register of shareholders maintained by the company on the record date. The name of the buyer of shares of the company is entered in the register on the settlement date. There is a gap between the transaction date and the settlement date.

India follows T + 3 settlement process. Therefore, if the transaction occurs on Monday (say 1 February, 2010), the settlement day is the next Thursday (4 February, 2010).

604

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Cum-dividend and Ex-dividend (cont.)


1/22/2014

On the declaration date, the Board announces dividend. The market price captures that information. A buyer of shares of the company will receive the dividend if it purchases the shares adequately in advance of the record date to ensure that the settlement occurs on or before the record date. For example, if the record date is 6 February, 2010, an investor should purchase the shares latest by 3 February, 2010 to be entitled to the dividend announced by the company.

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

605

Cum-dividend and Ex-dividend (cont.)


1/22/2014

If, the investor purchases shares on or after 4 February 4, 2010, it will not be entitled to dividend. Therefore, 4 February, 2010 is called the ex-dividend date.

In general, a stocks price drops the day (ex-dividend date) the ex-dividend period starts, since the buyer will not receive the benefit of a dividend payout until the next dividend date.

606

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Cum-dividend and Ex-dividend (cont.)


1/22/2014

Although, theoretically, a share is said to be trading cum-dividend when payment of the dividend is due in the near future and those who buy the shares now will receive the dividend. However, for accounting for investments, we may consider that shares are traded cum-dividend only during the period from the declaration date to the ex-dividend date.

607

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Subsequent Measurement
1/22/2014

Held-for-trading investments are measured at fair value at each balance sheet date. The change in the fair value is recognised in profit or loss for the period ended on the balance sheet date.

608

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

1/22/2014

An entity (investor) is not required to assess impairment of held-for-trading investments as those are carried in the balance sheet at fair value.

AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE INVESTMENTS
610

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Definition
1/22/2014

Available-for-sale financial assets are those financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held-to-maturity investments, or (c) financial assets held for trading.

Thus, available-for-sale investments is the residual category.

Available-for-sale investment can be a debt instrument or an equity instrument issued by another entity.
611

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Initial Measurement
1/22/2014

At the date of acquisition, available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs which are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

612

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Subsequent Measurement

Generally, available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value at each balance sheet.
Gain or loss on account of the change in fair value are recognised as other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of equity in the balance sheet. On sale of an available-for-sale investment, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest accrued, and dividend receivable is recognised in the profit and loss account for the period in which the interest is accrued and right to dividend is established.

616

Zero-coupon Bond
1/22/2014

A zero-coupon bond is a debt security that does not pay interest (a coupon).

It is traded at a discount over face value. It results in profit (compounded interest) at maturity when the bond is redeemed for its full face value. Some zero-coupon bonds are issued as such by the issuer. Financial institutions often strip regular bonds of their coupons and then repackage them as zero-coupon bonds. Zero-coupon bonds tend to fluctuate in price much more than regular bonds because they offer the entire payment (interest plus principal) at maturity.
Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

617

Impairment
1/22/2014

An entity (investor) is required to assess impairment of available-for-sale investments. When a decline in the fair value of an available- forsale asset has been recognised in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss within equity should be reclassified to profit or loss even though it has not been derecognised. Assets are usually derecognised on sale or on maturity of a debt instrument.

Derivatives
1/22/2014

Derivative instruments are often used for hedging financial risks. They are also used for arbitrage and speculation. Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments are accounted for using hedge accounting principles and methods. Other derivative instruments are designated as held-for-trading instruments.

620

Essentials of Financial Accounting, Second Edition ASISH K. BHATTACHARYYA

Reclassification
1/22/2014

Reclassifications between held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale assets are permitted. Reclassification from held-for-trading investments is generally prohibited. Under certain circumstances, available-for-sale investments are reclassified as loans and receivables, provided those investments meet the definition of loans and receivables at the date of reclassification.

Investment property is property (land or a buildingor part of a buildingor both) held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for:
(a) Use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or (b) Sale in the ordinary course of business.

Owner-occupied property, which is property held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes, is accounted for as property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent Measurement
1/22/2014

An entity can choose either the cost model or the fair value model for the measurement of investment property.

IFRS prefer use of the fair value model for subsequent measurement of investment properties. Principles and methods used to account for investment property using the cost model are the same as those used to account for owner-occupied property.

Subsequent Measurement: Fair Value Model


1/22/2014

After initial recognition, an entity that chooses the fair value model measures all of its investment property at fair value. The fair value of investment property shall reflect market conditions at the end of the reporting period. A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of investment property is recognised in profit or loss for the period in which it arises.
