MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
1.b
Goodwill at the date of acquisition is $10,000,000 ( = $16,000,000 4,000,000 + 8,000,000 10,000,000). Goodwill at 1/1/14 is $10,000,000 2,000,000 = $8,000,000.
Land, buildings and equipment revaluation at 1/1/14 is a credit of $8,000,000 [3 x (8,000,000/20)] = $(6,800,000).
Intangibles revaluation at 1/1/14 = $10,000,000 [3 x ($10,000,000/5)] = $4,000,000.

E4.7Goodwill Impairment Losses
a.Goodwill is not a standalone asset, but represents the value of above-average future performance potential that cannot be assigned to identifiable assets such as property or specific intangible assets. Because performance potential is related to business operations, to measure impairments in its value it must be connected with a specific business unit. In the case of Time Warner, as discussed in the text of Chapter 4, goodwill is assigned to Networks as a business unit. The WB Network was one part of this business unit, but did not comprise the entire unit.
b.First, Time Warner has the option to perform a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the business units book value exceeds its fair value. If so, the fair value of the business unit is calculated and compared with its book value. If book value exceeds fair value, we determine the amount of the impairment, if any, by comparing the fair value of the goodwill with its book value. An impairment loss is reported if book value exceeds fair value.
Since The WB Network was shut down, its future performance will no longer benefit Time Warner, and the impairment charge is appropriate. Had the qualitative assessment option been available in 2006, Time Warner would likely have bypassed this option due to strong indicators that The WB Networks future cash flows were significantly impaired.c.Time Warner has a 50% interest in The CW, so under U.S. GAAP it does not have a controlling interest and reports its investment using the equity method. Time Warners equity in the net income of The CW is reported as part of consolidated other income. The investment balance is reported as part of consolidated assets. The CWs individual assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are not reported on the consolidated financial statements.

b.(R)
Land80,000
Investment in Samson80,000
Inventory has been sold, and the equipment revaluation has been completely written off. Therefore no eliminating entry (O) is appropriate.
c.No eliminating entries are necessary to recognize or write off the revaluations, because the assets requiring revaluation have been either sold or written off.

b.Parson reports its own income of $800 million plus its equity in the income of Soaper of $140 million. Equity in the income of Soaper is Soapers reported income adjusted for write-offs of Soapers net asset revaluations. Consolidated income is Parsons and Soapers reported revenues and expenses, with Soapers expenses adjusted for the revaluation writeoffs. Parsons separately reported income and consolidated income therefore report the same items, packaged differently.

P4.1Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements One Year after Acquisition
a. Calculation of equity in net income for 2014:
Santos reported net income$ 5,000,000
Revaluation writeoffs:
Inventory (1) (2,000,000)
Plant assets $8,000,000/8(1,000,000)
Patents $1,500,000/4(375,000)
Long-term debt $1,000,000/10 100,000
Goodwill impairment loss(400,000)
Equity in net income of Santo$ 1,325,000
(1)Santos beginning inventory on its own books is $3,000,000 (= $5,200,000 + 4,000,000 6,200,000). Since Santos cost of goods sold is $4,000,000, its beginning inventory is completely sold in 2014, and the revaluation is written off.

Identifiable intangibles $3,600,000/20(180,000)
Equity in net income of Sunset Coast$ 120,000
Note: Identifiable intangibles at the date of acquisition are $2,100,000 + 500,000 + 1,000,000 = $3,600,000.b. Calculation of investment balance at December 31, 2014:

Revaluation writeoffs, 2012-2014:
Plant assets [($1,000,000)/10] x 3300,000
Identifiable intangibles ($3,600,000/20) x 3 (540,000)
Investment in Sunset Coast, December 31, 2014$ 3,685,000

a.BPs 2010 annual report states the following:
The future cash flows are adjusted for risks specific to the cash-generating unit and are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate. The discount rate is derived from the groups post-tax weighted average cost of capital and is adjusted where applicable to take into account any specific risk relating to the country where the cash-generating unit is located.
Cash flows are adjusted for specific risks and the applicable tax effects before they are discounted, thereby taking into consideration differences in the uncertainty of the business environment. Most likely the cash flows of Exploration and Production segment CGUs are more uncertain than those of Refining and Marketing, although the two segments are closely related.
If the cash flows were not adjusted, the discount rate should be adjusted to reflect differences in risk.P4.9continued

Total goodwill impairment loss is $340 + 880 = $1,220
c.$2,840 2,140 = $700, suggesting a GW impairment loss of that amount. However, total goodwill allocated to the Rest of World CGU is $630. Therefore, the goodwill impairment loss is $630, and other assets of the CGU would be written down, based on appropriate impairment tests.
d.U.S. GAAP requires goodwill to be assigned to reporting units, in this case Exploration and Production, and Refining and Marketing. When testing for impairment, BP has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of each reporting unit, using economic, financial, and strategic factors, to determine if it is more likely than not that the units book value exceeds its fair value. If so, the reporting units goodwill is evaluated using a two-step test. Goodwill is tested for impairment only if the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is in fact less than its book value. Because fair value is generally calculated using discounted cash flows, we assume it can be approximated by value-in-use. For both reporting units above, value in use significantly exceeds book value, so no impairment loss is reported, whether BP uses or bypasses the qualitative test.
Because reporting units aggregate CGUs, it is likely that CGUs with book value greater than value in use will be offset by those with a value in use that is greater than book value when applying the first step for impairment testing under U.S. GAAP.

P4.11Intangibles under IFRS
a. Whereas the double-declining balance rate is twice the straight-line rate, 150% declining balance is 1.5 x 10% straight-line rate, or 15%. Following the conventional declining-balance calculations, we have this amount of amortization expense for 2013, the second year after acquisition:
Amortization expense = .15 x [200 million (.15 x 200 million)] = 25.5 millionb. At December 31, 2012, the book value is 36 million after 2012 amortization of 4 million, and the market value of these intangibles is 45 million.
December 31, 2012 entries are (all amounts in millions):
Amortization expense

Intangible assets4
Intangible assets

Revaluation surplus (OCI)9
December 31, 2013, entries are:
Amortization expense5
Intangible assets5
45 million/9 = 5 millionRevaluation surplus (OCI)9
Loss (income)1
Intangible assets10
At this point the ending book value is 30 million (= 40 4 + 9 5 10], equal to the market value on that date.
c. IFRS impairment loss = book value greater of (value-in-use, 1,800 million; market value, 1,500 million) = 2,000 1,800 = 200 million.
U.S. GAAP impairment loss = 0 (sum of undiscounted cash flows 2,500 million > book value, 2,000 million, indicating no impairment).
The two-step test in U.S GAAP removes some potential impairments from consideration because of the book value: undiscounted cash flows screen. IFRS directly compares fair value (market value or value-in-use, whichever is higher) with book value. Since fair value is lower than the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, IFRS will likely recognize more impairment losses over time than U.S. GAAP. P4.12Consolidation in First Year, Intangible Asset Issues
(all dollar amounts in millions)
a. Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities
$26,900 = $(20,800 + 9,400 + 4,800) Liabilities
Liabilities = $35,000 $26,900
Liabilities = $8,100
b. Going by the book, the question is simply whether useful lives can be reasonably estimated or whether the intangible has an obviously very long indeterminate (indefinite) life. Many cases will be clear-cut and can be justified to the auditors but others will be in gray areas such that the desired reporting result will call forth the case justifying the classification of the intangible one way or another.
In these gray areas, management may elect to minimize periodic amortization charges against earnings and take their chances on the somewhat random and very subjective impairment tests. To the extent possible, management would likely classify items and load cost in the indefinite-lived category to minimize the effect on earnings.
c. With impairment charges being part of income from continuing operations, companies may seek to lower the probability that they will have to recognize goodwill impairment charges. The subjectivity inherent in valuing the reporting units to which the goodwill is assignedcash flow forecasts and discount rate selectionsfacilitates decisions to load goodwill onto reporting units that are less-likely impairment candidates, i.e., units with fair value significantly above book value.
d. Revaluation of limited-life intangibles is $2,000 (= $3,000 $1,000).
Amortization of this revaluation for 2007 = $2,000/15 x 9/12 = $100.
