Analysts have forecast earnings of $123,000 for the company. Bonus if net income exceeds $125,000. For each security, trading or available for sale? Group Exercise: Meeting of Board of DirectorsSolution Securities The gain and the loss are REALIZED Included in net income for both trading and AFS $150,000 income + $7,000 gain on A - $8,000 loss on B = $149,000 Security A and B C Unrealized gain of $13,000 Already high net income for the year Perhaps better to save the gain for a future year Classify security C as AFS Group Exercise: Meeting of Board of DirectorsSolution Security D Unrealized loss of $9,000 Even with this loss, income still exceeds both analysts forecasts and the bonus threshold Classify Security D as trading If C is AFS and D is trading, net income is computed as follows: $149,000 - $9,000 unrealized loss on D (trading security) = $140,000 Group Exercise: Meeting of Board of DirectorsSolution To prevent this type of strategic accounting, companies are required to designate securities as trading or AFS when they are acquired. Q In-Class Quiz 1. Company B purchased four investment securities on January 1. Two of the securities were sold during the year; the other two remain in the companys portfolio at year end. Information about the four securities is given in the following table. `Security i ii iii iv Original Purchase Cost $10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 Selling Price During the Year $7,000 2,000 n/a n/a Market Value at Year End n/a n/a $3,000 21,000 Preliminary net income computations (without considering the impact of the investment securities) indicate that net income for the year is $150,000. Analysts have forecast net income of $145,000 for the company. Assume that the board of directors has complete freedom in classifying these securities AND that the members of the board of directors are not bothered by ethical concerns. a. b. c. d. e. f. Which ONE of the following sets of decisions will cause Company B to meet the analyst forecast level of net income of $145,000? Classify (i) , (ii), (iii), and (iv) as available for sale and none as trading. Classify (i) , (ii), (iii), and (iv) as trading and none as available for sale. Classify (i) and (ii) as available for sale and (iii) and (iv) as trading. Classify (i) and (ii) as trading and (iii) and (iv) as available for sale. Classify (i) and (iii) as available for sale and (ii) and (iv) as trading. Classify (ii) and (iv) as available for sale and (i) and (iii) as trading. Five Measures of Income Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = Gross Profit - Other Operating Expenses, Gains, and Losses = Operating Income - Interest Expense +/- Miscellaneous revenues, expenses, gains, and losses = Income Before Taxes - Income Tax Expense = Income from Continuing Operations +/- Income from Discontinued Operations +/- Extraordinary Items = Net Income +/- Unrealized gains and losses not included in Net Inc. = Comprehensive Income What investors want to know! Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = Gross Profit - Other Operating Expenses, Gains, and Losses = Operating Income - Interest Expense +/- Miscellaneous revenues, expenses, gains, and losses = Income Before Taxes - Income Tax Expense = Income from Continuing Operations +/- Income from Discontinued Operations +/- Extraordinary Items = Net Income +/- Unrealized gains and losses not included in Net Inc. = Comprehensive Income Below the Line Items Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = Gross Profit - Other Operating Expenses, Gains, and Losses = Operating Income - Interest Expense +/- Miscellaneous revenues, expenses, gains, and losses = Income Before Taxes - Income Tax Expense = Income from Continuing Operations +/- Income from Discontinued Operations +/- Extraordinary Items = Net Income +/- Unrealized gains and losses not included in Net Inc. = Comprehensive Income Comprehensive Income Items Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = Gross Profit - Other Operating Expenses, Gains, and Losses = Operating Income - Interest Expense +/- Miscellaneous revenues, expenses, gains, and losses = Income Before Taxes - Income Tax Expense = Income from Continuing Operations +/- Income from Discontinued Operations +/- Extraordinary Items = Net Income +/- Unrealized gains and losses not included in Net Inc. = Comprehensive Income Specific Items Affecting Comprehensive Income Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = Gross Profit - Other Operating Expenses, Gains, and Losses = Operating Income - Interest Expense +/- Miscellaneous revenues, expenses, gains, and losses = Income Before Taxes - Income Tax Expense = Income from Continuing Operations +/- Income from Discontinued Operations +/- Extraordinary Items = Net Income +/- Unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities +/- Increases or decreases in foreign subsidiaries = Comprehensive Income Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income reflects the overall change in a companys wealth during the period. Comprehensive Income = Net income Plus other comprehensive income Other Comprehensive Income Items Changes in the value of available-for-sale investment securities. Changes in the US dollar value of foreign subsidiaries due to exchange rate changes Excluded from income because not related to business operations! But in comprehensive income because they do affect fair values of assets and liabilities! Group Exercise IIValuation Last years net income (no extraordinary items) Shares outstanding P/E Ratio for industry Beginning of year stock price Income from continuing operations + Income from discontinued operations Net income + Unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities Comprehensive income $10,000 10,000 shares 20 $20 $12,000 3,000 $15,000 5,000 $20,000 The income from discontinued operations reflects the amount of income generated by certain operations this year; those same operations have been discontinued and will not generate any income or loss for the Company in future years. What is your estimate of Han Companys stock price per share as of the end of this year? Group Exercise IIValuation Beginning value of the company (10,000 shares x $20 per share) Total Value $200,000 Per Share $20.00 Group Exercise IIValuation Beginning value of the company (10,000 shares x $20 per share) One-time increase in value because income from discontinued operations Total Value $200,000 Per Share $20.00 3,000 0.30 Group Exercise IIValuation Beginning value of the company (10,000 shares x $20 per share) One-time increase in value because income from discontinued operations One-time increase in value because of increase in value of AFS security portfolio Total Value $200,000 Per Share $20.00 3,000 0.30 5,000 0.50 Group Exercise IIValuation Beginning value of the company Total Value (10,000 shares x $20 per share) $200,000 One-time increase in value because income from discontinued operations 3,000 One-time increase in value because of increase in value of AFS security portfolio 5,000 Increase in value because of increase in income from continuing operations. $2,000 increase x 20 PE ratio This increase is more than just the $2,000 because it is expected to continue into the future 40,000 Per Exercise Share $20.00 0.30 0.50 4.00 Group IIValuation Beginning value of the company Total Value (10,000 shares x $20 per share) $200,000 One-time increase in value because income from discontinued operations 3,000 One-time increase in value because of increase in value of AFS security portfolio 5,000 Increase in value because of increase in income from continuing operations. $2,000 increase x 20 PE ratio This increase is more than just the $2,000 because it is expected to continue into the future 40,000 Ending value $248,000 Per Share $20.00 0.30 0.50 4.00 $24.80 Just an estimate; understanding the intuition is important! Q In-Class Quiz 2. Last year, Company C reported net income of $20,000 and had 10,000 shares outstanding. Other companies in the same industry have P/E ratios of approximately 15. Last year there were no below the line items, and there was also no other comprehensive income. At the beginning of this year, Company C had a stock price per share of $30. During this year, Company C reported the following. Income from continuing operations + Loss from discontinued operations Net income - Unrealized decrease from foreign currency adjustment Comprehensive income $22,000 (3,000) $19,000 (5,000) $14,000 The loss from discontinued operations is a one-time decrease in the value of the company from profitable operations that occurred this year but that will not be repeated in future years. What is your estimate of Company Cs stock price per share as of the end of this year?

What is the fair value of this $1,000 bond? a. b. c. d. e. $973 $937 $955 $923 $977 The Fair Value Option Under the provisions of SFAS No. 159, a company has the option to report, at each balance sheet date, any or all of its financial assets and liabilities at their fair values on the balance sheet date. Why did the FASB give companies this financial reporting flexibility? The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Example A 1. 2. One asset, a bond (called Bond B) One liability, one of its own bonds (called Bond X) Both bonds have the same terms: $1,000 face value, 30-year life, 8% coupon rate, and single interest payments made at the end of each year. On their issuance dates, both bonds were associated with a market interest rate of 8%. Prepare a balance sheet for the company as of the issuance date of investment Bond B and the companys own Bond Payable X. On the very next day, the market interest rate with respect to Bond B had risen to 11% and the market interest rate with respect to Bond Payable X had also risen to 11%. Prepare the companys balance sheet. Solution A 1. Both bonds were issued when the market interest rate of 8% was equal to the coupon rate, so the bonds were issued at par of $1,000. Assets Bond B Liabilities and Equity $1,000 Bond X Payable $1,000 Equity $0 Solution A The increase in the market rate of interest changes the value of the bonds: Asset: N=30, I=11%, PMT=$80, FV=$1,000; PV=$739 Liability: N=30, I=11%, PMT=$80, FV=$1,000; PV=$739 2. Assets Bond B Liabilities and Equity $739 Bond X Payable $739 Without the Fair Value Option: Equity $0 Liabilities and Equity $739 Bond X Payable $1,000 Assets Bond B Q In-Class Quiz 4. A company has: one asset, a bond (called Bond B) one liability, one of its own bonds (called Bond X) Both bonds have the same terms: $1,000 face value, 30-year life, 8% coupon rate, and single interest payments made at the end of each year. On their issuance dates, both bonds had a market interest rate of 8%, so both were issued at par ($1,000). The company has determined to account for both the bond asset and the bond liability using the fair value option. On the day after the issuance of both bonds, the market interest rate for Bond B (the purchased bond) rose to 13% the market interest rate for Bond X (the issued bond) rose to 11%. Which ONE of the following will appear on the companys simplified balance sheet? a. b. c. d. e. Equity subtraction of $375 Equity addition of $261 Equity subtraction of $375 Equity subtraction of $364 Equity subtraction of $114 The End The
