Explanation:
Profit or Loss Test (numbers in thousands)This test is based on the greater (in absolute amount) of total profit from profitable segments or total loss from segments with a loss. In this case, any segment with profit or loss greater than or equal to $26,200 (10% × $262,000) is separately reportable. Test for Sufficient Number of Segments Being ReportedFour of Mason’s segments (computers, maps, travel, and finance) meet at least one of the tests carried out above. To determine whether a sufficient number of segments is being reported, revenues from unaffiliated parties for these four segments must comprise at least 75% of total consolidated revenues. Consolidated revenues (sales to outside parties and interest income-external) for the company amount to $1,644. These four segments do make up over 75% (actually $1,463 or 89%) of this total. Therefore, this company is presenting disaggregated infoSlatter Corporation operates primarily in the United States. However, a few years ago, it opened a plant in Spain to produce merchandise to sell there. This foreign operation has been so successful that during the past 24 months the company started a manufacturing plant in Italy and another in Greece. Financial information for each of these facilities follows:

The company’s domestic (U.S.) operations reported the following information for the current year: Sales to unaffiliated customers $ 4,610,000 Intersegment transfers 427,000 Operating expenses 2,410,000 Interest expense 136,000 Income taxes 819,000 Long-lived assets 1,894,000

Lisali Company gathered the following information related to inventory that it owned on December 31, 2011: Historical cost $100,000 Replacement cost 95,000 Net realizable value 98,000 Normal profit margin 20%
(a)
Determine the amount at which Lisali should carry inventory on the December 31, 2011, balance sheet and the amount, if any, that should be reported in net income related to this inventory using U.S. GAAP. (Loss amounts should be indicated with a minus sign. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

2011 Adjustments in U.S. GAAP
Net income Add $
Stockholders' equity Add $
Explanation:
(a)Under U.S. GAAP, the company reports inventory on the balance sheet at the lower of cost or market, where market is defined as replacement cost (with net realizable value as a ceiling and net realizable value less a normal profit as a floor). In this case, inventory will be written down to replacement cost and reported on the December 31, 2011 balance sheet at $95,000. A $5,000 loss will be included in 2011 income.In accordance with IAS 2, the company reports inventory on the balance sheet at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As a result, inventory will be reported on the December 31, 2011 balance sheet at its net realizable value of $98,000 and a loss on writedown of inventory of $2,000 will be reflected in 2011 net income.
(b) As a result of the differing amounts of inventory loss recognized under U.S. GAAP and IFRS, Lisali will add $3,000 to U.S. GAAP income to reconcile to IFRS income, and will add $3,000 to U.S. GAAP stockholders' equity to reconcile to IFRS stockholders' equity.Moxie Corporation incurs research and development costs of $500,000 in 2011, 30 percent of which relates to development activities subsequent to certain criteria having been met that suggest that an intangible asset has been created.

2012 Adjustments in U.S. GAAP

Explanation:
(a) Under U.S. GAAP, $500,000 of research and development costs would be expensed in 2011.In accordance with IAS 38, $350,000 [$500,000 × 70%] of research and development costs would be expensed in 2011, and $150,000 [$500,000 × 30%] of development costs would be capitalized as an intangible asset. The intangible asset would be amortized over its useful life of ten years, but only beginning in 2012 when the newly developed product is brought to market.
(b) In 2011, $150,000 would be added to U.S. GAAP net income to reconcile to IFRS and the same amount would be added to U.S. GAAP stockholders' equity.In 2012, the company would recognize $15,000 [$150,000 / 10 years] of amortization expense on the deferred development costs under IFRS that would not be recognized under U.S. GAAP. In 2012, $15,000 would be subtracted from U.S. GAAP net income to reconcile to IFRS net income. The net adjustment to reconcile from U.S. GAAP stockholders equity to IFRS at December 31, 2012 would be $135,000, the sum of the $150,000 smaller expense under IFRS in 2011 and the $15,000 larger expense under IFRS in 2012. $135,000 would be added to U.S. GAAP stockholders' equity at December 31, 2012 to reconcile to IFRS.Ramshare Company acquired equipment at the beginning of 2011 at a cost of $100,000. The equipment has a five-year life with no expected salvage value and is depreciated on a straight-line basis. At December 31, 2011, Ramshare compiled the following information related to this equipment: Expected future cash flows from use of the equipment $ 85,000 Present value of expected future cash flows from use of the equipment

Explanation:
(a) Under U.S. GAAP, an asset is impaired when its carrying value exceeds the expected future cash flows (undiscounted) to be derived from use of the asset. Expected future cash flows are $85,000, which exceeds the carrying value of $80,000, so the asset is not impaired. Depreciation expense for the year is $20,000 [$100,000 / 5 years], and the equipment will be carried on the December 31, 2011 balance sheet at $80,000.In accordance with IAS 36, an asset is impaired when its carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the greater of (a) value in use (present value of expected future cash flows), and (b) net selling price, less costs to dispose. The carrying value of the equipment at December 31, 2011 is $80,000; original cost of $100,000 less accumulated depreciation of $20,000 [$100,000 / 5 years]. The asset's recoverable amount is $75,000 (the higher of value in use of $75,000 and fair value of $72,000), so the asset is impaired. An impairment loss of $5,000 [$80,000 – $75,000] would be recognized at the end of 2011, in addition to depreciation expense for the year of $20,000. The equipment will be carried on the December 31, 2011 balance sheet at $75,000.
(b) An impairment loss of $5,000 was recognized in 2011 under IFRS but not under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, $5,000 must be subtracted from U.S. GAAP net income to reconcile to U.S. GAAP net income in 2011. The same amount would be subtracted from U.S. GAAP stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2011 to reconcile to IFRS.In 2012, depreciation under IFRS will be $18,750 [$75,000 / 4 years], whereas depreciation

under U.S. GAAP is $20,000. $1,250 would be added to U.S. GAAP net income to reconcile to IFRS net income in 2012. To reconcile stockholders' equity to IFRS at December 31, 2012, $3,750 must be subtracted from U.S. GAAP stockholders' equity. This is the difference between the impairment loss of $5,000 in 2011 taken under IFRS and the difference in depreciation expense recognized under the two sets of standards in 2012. It also is equal to the difference in the carrying value of the equipment at December 31, 2012 under the two sets of accounting rules:
