Case 2: (Deferred revenue – sales of services) Dove Company sells equipment service contracts that cover a two-year period.
The sale price of each contract is P600. The past experience is that, of the total pesos spent for repairs on service contracts, 40% is
incurred evenly during the first contract year and 60% evenly during the second contract year. The entity sold 1,000
contracts evenly throughout 20x4. What amount should be reported as deferred service revenue on December 31, 20x4?
Since the contracts are sold evenly, only one-half of the 40% is earned in 20x4 and one-half will be earned in 20x5. One-half
of the 60% will be earned in 20x5 and one-half will be earned in 2016.
Thus, the deferred service contract revenue in December 31, 20x4 is computed as follows;
Total contracts sold (1,000 x 600) 600,000
Less: Contracts earned in 20x4 (240,000 x ½) 120,000
Deferred service revenue – December 31, 20x4 480,000

2. (Expected value) Washburn provides a warranty with all its products it sells. It estimates that it will sell 1,200,000 units
of its product for the year ended December 31, 20x1, and that its total revenue for the product will be P100,000,000. It also
estimates that 60% of the product will have no defects, 30% will have major defects, and 10% will have minor defects. The cost
of a minor defect is estimated to be P5 for each product sold, and the cost for a major defect cost is P15. The company also
estimates that the minimum amount of warranty expense will be P2,500,000 and the maximum will be P12,000,000.
3. (Midpoint) Washburn is involved in a tax dispute with the tax authorities. The most likely outcome of this dispute is that
Washburn will lose and have to pay of not less than P100,000 but not more than P200,000. The probability of any amount
within the range is as likely as any other amount also within the range.
Instructions Prepare the journal entry to record provisions, if any, for Washburn at December 31, 20x1.
Case 1: Bizarre Company gives warranties at the time of sale to purchasers of its product. The entity undertakes to make good, by
repair or replacement, manufacturing defects that become apparent within one year from the date of sale. Sales of P10,000,000
were made evenly throughout 20x3. The expenditures for warranty repairs and replacements for the products sold in 20x3 are
expected to be made 50% in 20x3 and 50% in 20x4. The 20x4 outflows of economic benefits related to the warranty will take place
on June 30,20x4.
The entity estimated that 95% of products sold require no warranty repairs, 3% of products sold require minor repairs costing 10%
of the sale price, and 2% of products sold require major repairs or replacement costing 90% of sale price.
The appropriate discount factor for cash flows expected to occur on June 30,20x4 is 0.95. An appropriate risk adjustment factor to
reflect the uncertainties in the cash flow estimates is an increment of 6% to the probability-weighted expected cash flows. What is
the warranty provision on December 31,20x3?

Case 2: Hello Company gives warranties at the time of sale to purchasers of its product. Under the terms of the sale, the entity
undertakes to make good, by repair or replacement, manufacturing defects that become apparent within one year from the date of
sale.
On December 31,20x3, the entity appropriately recognized P50,000 warranty provision. The entity incurred and charged P140,000
against the warranty provision in 20x4. Out of the P140,000, an amount of P80,000 related to warranties for sales made in 20x4.
The increase during 20x4 in the discounted amount recognized as a provision on December 31,20x3 arising from the passage of time
is P2,000.
On December 31, 20x4, the entity estimated that it would incur expenditures in 20x5 to meet its warranty obligations on December
31, 20x4 as follows:
5% probability of P400,000
20% probability of P200,000
50% probability of P 80,000
25% probability of P 20,000
Assume for simplicity that the 20x5 cash flows for warranty repairs and replacements take place on June 30,20x5.
An appropriate discount rate is 10% per year. The PV of 1 at 10% for one year is 0.91 and the PV of 1 at 10% for 6 months is 0.95.
An appropriate risk adjustment factor to reflect the uncertainties in the cash flow estimates is an increment of 8% to the probability-
weighted expected cash flows.

Problem 3: (Provision – Change in Estimate) In 20X4, ABC Co. recognized provision for a probable loss on pending lawsuit of
P10,000,000. The lawsuit remains unsettled in 20X5 necessitating a reassessment of the provision. ABC determined that the
probable loss on the pending lawsuit should be P14,000,000.
Required: Provide all necessary journal entries under the following independent assumptions:
a. The lawsuit was settled for P15,000,000 in 20X6.
b. The lawsuit was settled for P12,750,000 in 20X6.
c. ABC Co. won the lawsuit in 20X6.

Problem 4: (Future events, Future losses and Expected disposal of assets) Naga Company issued the 20x3 financial
statements on March 1,20x4. The following data are provided by the entity for the year ended December 31,20x3:
Amount owing to another entity for services rendered during December 20x3 P300,000
Estimated long service leave owing to employees in respect of past services 1,200,000
Estimated cost of relocating an employee from head office to a branch in another city (employee 100,000
will physically relocate in January 20x4)
Estimated cost of overhauling machine every 5 years (the machine is 5 years old on December 31, 150,000
20x3)
Estimated cost of cleaning up a site at the end of its life will be reduced by future changes in 500,000
technology, there is sufficient objective evidence that they will occur.
Estimated future losses 100,000
Expected disposal of assets 400,000
A provision is a present obligation that is uncertain in amount or timing. The present obligation must be both probable and
measurable.
The amount owing to another entity is a present obligation but technically it is not a provision because the amount is certain.
Of course, it is an accrued liability.
The estimated cost of relocating the employee is a future cost because it is to be incurred in January 20x4. Thus, it is not
included in December 31,20x3 provision.
The estimated cost of overhaul is not a provision because there is no present obligation. The entity may decide to sell the
machine or not to repair it.
Problem 5: (Reimbursement) ABC Co. is engaged in logistic services. During the year, a warehouse was destroyed by fire. It
was estimated that ABC will probably pay around P50,000,000 in damages caused to the goods owned by customers that were
contained in the destroyed warehouse. The contents of the warehouse at any given point of time are insured for P20,000,000.
ABC’s claims for the insurance has been approved for payment by the insurance company.
Notice that the claim for the reimbursement is recorded as a separate asset because it is virtually certain (i.e. approved for
payment) that the reimbursement will be received and it does not exceed the amount of provision. The provision may be
presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income net of the reimbursement, i.e., net loss of P30M
(P50M loss minus P20M gain).
Problem 6: (Deductible clause) On January 1, 20x5, an explosion occurred at a Rex Company plant causing extensive property
damage to area buildings. By March 10, 20x6, claims had been asserted against Rex Company. The management and counsel
concluded that it is probable Rex Company will be responsible for damages, and that P2,500,000 would be a reasonable estimate of
its liability. The entity's P10,000,000 comprehensive public liability policy has a P1,500,000 deductible clause. The financial
statements were issued on March 31, 20x6.
Required:
a. How much should the event above be reported in Rex Company December 31, 20x4 financial statements?
b. How much should the event above be reported in Rex Company December 31, 20x5 financial statements?
b. The amount of loss is P1,500,000 only because it is the extent of liability of Rex under the comprehensive insurance policy.
However, the amount of liability to be reported is equal to the total estimated amount.
PAS 37, par. 53, provides that the reimbursement claim shall be treated as a separate asset.
The amount of loss may be presented net of the amount recognized for a reimbursement.
Case 1: (Onerous contract-purchase commitment) On January 1, 20X1, ABC Co. signed a three year, non-cancellable purchase
contract, which allows ABC Co. to purchase up to 60,000 units of a microchip annually from XYZ Co. at P25 per unit and guarantees
a minimum annual purchase of 15,000 units. At year-end, it was found out that the goods are obsolete. ABC had 10,000 units of
this inventory at December 31, 20X1, and believes these parts can be sold as scrap for P5 per unit.

Case 2: (Onerous contract of lease) ABC Co. entered into a non-cancellable 10-year operating lease. Annual lease payment is
P100,000. At inception of lease, ABC paid P200,000 deposit to the lessor to be applied to the last two years of the lease. In
addition, ABC guarantees a 10% residual value of the leased property. On December 31, 20X1, ABC cancels the lease when the
remaining lease term is 6 years. ABC is obligated to pay the rentals for the remaining term of the lease but is uncertain as to
whether it will be held liable for the guarantee on the residual.
Problem 8: (Restructuring provision) Hector Company decided on November 1,20x3 to restructure the entity's operations as
follows:
Factory A would be closed down and put on the market for sale.
Employees working in Factory A would be retrenched on November 30,20x3, and would be paid their accumulated
entitlements plus six months' wages.
Some employees working in Factory A would be transferred to Factory B, which would continue operating.
Required: What total amount should be recognized as restructuring provision on December 31,20x3?
The amount of restructuring provision includes only direct expenditures arising from restructuring and not associated with the
ongoing activities of the entity. For example, salaries and benefits of employees to be incurred after operations cease and that
are associated with the closure of the operations are included in the restructuring provision.
The payment of P300,000 to be incurred in transferring the remaining employees to Factory B is not included in the
restructuring provision because it relates to continuing staff as part of ongoing activities.
The restructuring provision does not include cost of retraining or relocating continuing staff, and marketing or advertising
program because these relate to ongoing activities of the entity.
A customer option that does not provide the customer with a material right is not accounted for under PFRS 15; and therefore,
accounted for in accordance with PAS 37

Case 3: (Warranties Liability)
If a customer does not have the option to purchase warranty separately, the warranty is accounted for in accordance with PAS 37
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets unless the promised warranty provides the customer with a service in
addition to the assurance that the product complies with agreed – upon specification.
A. Miley Equipment Company sells computers for P1,500 each and also gives each customer a 2-year warranty that requires the
company to perform periodic services and to replace defective parts. During 20x1, the company sold 700 computers. Based on past
experience, the company has estimated the total 2-year warranty costs as P30 for parts and P60 for labor. (Assume sales all occur at
December 31, 20x1.)
In 20x2, Miley incurred actual warranty costs relative to 20x1 computer sales of P10,000 for parts and P18,000 for labor.

B. Packard Company started selling a new product that carried a two-year warranty against defects. Based upon the past
experience with other products, the estimated warranty costs related to peso sales were computed as follows:
First year of warranty 3%
Second year of warranty 5%
Total sales and actual warranty repairs for 20x8 and 20x9 are given below:
20x8 20x9
Sales P4,200,000 P6,960,000
Actual warranty expenditures 148,800 180,000
Required:
a. What amount should Packard report as its estimated warranty liability as of December 31, 20x9?
b. Based on the above data, assuming that the sales and repairs occur evenly throughout the year, how much would be the
predicted warranty expense covering 20x8 and 20x9 sales still under warranty?
20x9 20x1
Warranty Liability, January 1 P 0 P187,200
Warranty expense (8% x 4,200,000)/(8% x 6,960,000) 336,000 556,800

2. A suit for breach of contract seeking damages of P2,400,000 was filed by an author against Greer Co. on October 4, 20x0.
Greer's legal counsel believes that an unfavorable outcome is probable. A reasonable estimate of the award to the plaintiff is
between P600,000 and P1,800,000. No amount within this range is a better estimate of potential damages than any other
amount.
Instructions: Discuss the proper accounting treatment, including any required disclosures, for each situation. Give the rationale
for your answers.
1. Wesley Co. should disclose in the notes to the financial statements the existence of a possible contingent liability related to the
lawsuit. The note should indicate the range of the possible loss. The contingent liability should not be accrued because the loss
is possible, not probable.
2. The probable award should be accrued by a charge to an estimated loss and a credit to an estimated liability of P1,200,000.
Greer Co. should disclose the following in the notes to the financial statements: the amount of the suit, the nature of the
contingency, the reason for the accrual, and the range of the possible loss.
The accrual is made because it is probable that a liability has been incurred and a reasonable estimate can be made of the
obligation amount. The midpoint amount in the range of possible losses is used when no amount is a better estimate than any
other amount.
Case 1: Quinn is involved in a pending court case. Quinn’s lawyers believe it is probable that Quinn will be awarded damages of
P1,000,000. What is the entry to recognize the probable receipt of the awarded?
Quinn should not record the contingent asset until it’s realized. Usually, contingent assets are neither accrued nor disclosed. The
P1,000,000 contingent asset should be disclosed because its outcome is considered probable.
Case 2: In 20X1, there was a robbery in one of ABC’s branches. There has been a dispute on the P100,000 insurance claim that
ABC has presented to its insurance provider. On December 31, 20X1, the insurance company approved the payment of 80% of
ABC’s claim (i.e., P80,000). ABC received a letter that the settlement check for that amount had been mailed, but such check was
received only on January 5, 20X2. What is the entry to be made by ABC on December 31, 20X1?
Case 1: On January 1, 20x0, Starexd Company purchased a mining site that will have to be restored to certain specifications when

Problem 15: (IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers) (With Suggested Answers)
WARRANTIES
The guidance in IFRS 15 on warranties has been developed acknowledging the different types of warranties. Under IFRS 15,
warranties are grouped in two types: assurance and service. What distinguishes them is whether the warranty simply provides
assurance the product complies with agreed-upon specifications or whether it provides a service in addition to the assurance. If the
customer has the option to purchase the warranty, the warranty is a “service-type” warranty and will need to be accounted for as a
separate performance obligation.
If the customer does not have the option to purchase the warranty separately, then the warranty may not provide a distinct service
and may simply provide assurance regarding the existing product. An assessment is therefore required to determine whether the
customer is still receiving a service. Examples of factors to be considered in completing this assessment include:
• whether the warranty is required by law
• the length of the warranty coverage period
• the nature of the tasks the entity promises to perform.
If it is determined that no distinct service is provided, such warranties are referred to as “assurance-type” warranties. Such
warranties will be accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Page 12 of 28
Case 1: (Identifying Performance Obligation) NN Computers manufactures and sells computers that include a warranty to
make good on any defect in its computers for 150 days (often referred to as an assurance warranty). In addition, it sells separately
on extended warranty. Which provides protection from defects for three years beyond the 150 days (often referred to as a service
warranty). In this case, two performance obligation exist, one related to the sale of the computer and the assurance warranty, and
the other to the extended warranty(service warranty).
Required:
1. Is this a one performance obligation or a separate performance obligation?
2. How about the extended warranty-one performance obligation or separate performance obligation?
Suggested Answer:
1. The sale of the computer and related assurance warranty are one performance obligation as they are interdependent
and interrelated with each other.
Case 2: A customer enters into a contract with a heavy duty machine manufacturer for the purchase of a tractor for P100,000. All
pieces of equipment sold by the manufacturer come with a one-year standard warranty that specifies the equipment will comply with
the agreed-upon specifications and will operate as promised for a one-year period from the date of purchase.
In signing this contract, the customer also requested to purchase an additional P2,000 two-year warranty commencing after the
expiry of the standard one year warranty.
Suggested Answer:
Given that the customer has the option of purchasing the additional warranty separately, this is a service-type warranty and is
accounted for as a separate performance obligation. Deferred revenue of P2,000 is recognized (as opposed to revenue being
recorded) until the performance obligation is satisfied. The assurance-type warranty is accounted for in accordance with IAS 37
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Case 3: JJ Company sold 2,400 units during 20x7 at a price of P14,400,000, with a warranty guarantee that the product was free of
any defects. The cost of unit sold is P9,600,000. The term of the assurance warranty is two years, with an estimated cost of
P72,000. In addition, JJ sold extended warranties related to 960 units for three years beyond the two-year period for P28,800.
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entries to record the revenue and liabilities related to the warranties.
2. Prepare the journal entries to record reduce inventory and recognize cost of goods sold.
Suggested Answer:
JJ Company sold 2,400 units during 20x7 at a total price of P14,400,000, with a warranty guarantee that the product was free of any
defects. The cost of each unit sold is P9,600,000. The term of the assurance warranty is two years, with an estimated cost of
P72,000. In addition, Jack sold extended warranties related to 800 units for three years beyond the two-year period for P28,800.
Discounts are probably the most popular selling tool in business. Without a doubt, many companies discount the price for their
products or services in various forms, for example:
Buy 1, get 1 free (and modifications),
Get 10% off for purchases over P100 (and modifications),
Gift vouchers,
Settlement discounts (bonus for early payment or for cash payment),
When a seller provides a discount, it directly affect the amount of his revenue. IFRS 15.47, specify that you should present the
revenue net of discounts. In other words, discounts reduce the amount of your revenue and do not represent cost of sales (or cost
of promotion etc.)
For example, when you sell a machine for P100 and you decide to provide a discount of 3%, then you present a revenue of P97, and
NOT the revenue of P100 and cost (of sales, marketing, whatever) of 3.
This rule seems very basic and very simple, yet its practical application can be challenging at some circumstances.
Case 1: (Discount Coupons) Imagine you run an e-shop with books. To support your sales, you send a discount coupon for P5
that your customers can use with every purchase over P100.
How should you account for the discount coupon?
Suggested Answer:
In this particular example, you don’t recognize a provision in your financial statements for a discount at the time of distributing a
coupon.
Why?
Remember, a customer would have to make a purchase over 100 and only then you have a liability to provide a discount of CU 5.
Instead, you simply recognize revenue net of CU 5 discount when a coupon is redeemed.
Case 2: Buy 1, get 1 free (or any free items) Instead of giving discount coupons, you promise to deliver a book “Thai cuisine”
for free with every purchase of “Thailand travel guide” for P50.
You normally sell Thai cuisine for P10, its cost in your inventory is P6 and the cost of Thailand travel guide is P35.
What do to now?
Suggested Answer:
Under IAS 18, you simply recognize revenue for both books of CU 50 and cost of sales of CU 41 (35+6).
Cost of free item is not a marketing or promotion cost in this case, because a free item increases revenues (supports spending).
Under IFRS 15, the accounting treatment is the same if both books are delivered at the same time.
However, if you deliver Thailand travel guide in September and Thai cuisine in October due to low stock, then you would need to split
the transaction price of P50 based on the relative stand-alone selling prices and recognize revenue accordingly.
More specifically:
Total stand-alone selling prices: P50+P10 = P60
Revenue allocated to Thailand travel guide: P50/P60*P50= P42 to be recognized in September.
Revenue allocated to Thai cuisine: P10/P60*P50 = P8 to be recognized in October.
Costs of sales are recognized accordingly.
We need to look at IAS 2 Inventories, IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment or other similar standards for guidance.
Both IAS 2 and IAS 16 prescribe that we should initially measure an item of PPE or inventories at its cost including purchase
price. And, it’s net of discounts.
you receive a discount as a reduction in the purchase price of inventories, then you should deduct it from their costs.
When discounts refund some selling expenses, then these discounts are not deducted from the costs of inventories, but treated
as income.
Another consideration might relate to settlement discounts, i.e. discounts received from quick payment. They should not be
treated as finance income, but again, they reduce the cost of inventories.
Case 1: (Rebates on inventories) Supermarket wants to purchase 1,000 Chocobars. What is their cost, based on the following
information:
Sales price per unit: P5
Volume discount per 1,000 units: 10%
Settlement discount: 2% when paid within 30 days
Contribution for leaflet printing costs: 1%
Page 14 of 28
Required:
a. Compute the cost of inventories
b. What about inventories received for free, what is the applicable standards?
Suggested Answer:
If the supermarket intends to pay within 30 days, then it should reduce costs of inventories by settlement discount, too.
Contribution for leaflet printing costs is clearly refunding some selling expenses and therefore it should be treated as income, not as
cost of inventories.
If a government (including governmental agencies) donated you some inventories, then you should apply the standard IAS 20
Accounting for Government grants and Disclosure of government assistance.
If you received some units of inventories for free as a “gift” with your purchase, then you should apply the standard IAS 2 –
i.e. measure inventories at cost.
GIFT CARDS
As gift cards are sold, a contract liability is recognized and as customers redeem the cards for goods or services, revenue is
recognized because the related performance obligation has been satisfied.
Customers may not always exercise their contractual rights to redeem the gift cards in full. IFRS 15 refers to this unredeemed
amount (i.e., the unexercised rights) as “breakage”. If an entity expects to be entitled to such breakage amounts (i.e., customers
are not expected to exercise their rights in full), the entity recognizes breakage in revenue based on the pattern of recognition of the
goods and services transferred to the customers. To determine entitlement to such breakage amounts, entities should apply the
guidance related to constraining variable consideration (discussed in question 6). Specifically, breakage can only be recognized if it is
highly probable that recognizing breakage will not result in a significant reversal of the cumulative amount of revenue recognized.
If an entity does not have sufficient information to predict whether it will be entitled to such breakage amounts, breakage will only
be recognized as revenue when the likelihood of customers exercising the outstanding rights is remote.
PROBLEMS
Problem 1: (Noninterest-bearing note cash price equivalent) On December 31, 20x7, International Refining Company
purchased machinery having a cash selling price of P85,933.75. The company paid P10,000 down and agreed to finance the
remainder by making four equal payments each December 31 at the implicit interest rate of 12%.
ANS:
(1)
The total cash price of the machinery is P85,933.75. The company paid P10,000 down, leaving a balance of P75,933.75 to finance.
This amount represents the present value of four payments of unknown amounts discounted at 12%. The problem can be solved by
dividing the amount to be financed, P75,933.75, by the factor for the present value of an annuity for 4 years at 12%:

PFRS 9, paragraph 5.1.1, provides that a note payable shall be measured initially at fair value minus transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the issue of the note payable.
In other words, transaction costs are included in the measurement of note payable.
However, if the note payable is irrevocably designated at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction costs are expensed
immediately.
The "fair value" of the note payable is equal to the present value of the future cash payment to settle the note payable.
The term "present value" is the discounted amount of the future cash outflow in settling the note payable using the market rate
of interest.
PFRS 9, paragraph 5.3.1, provides that after initial recognition, a note payable shall be measured either:
a. At amortized cost using the effective interest method.
b. At fair value through profit or loss if the note payable is designated irrevocably as measured at fair value through profit or
loss,
The amortized cost of note payable is the amount at which the note payable is measured initially minus principal repayment,
plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial carrying
amount and maturity amount. Simply stated, the difference between the face amount and present value of the note payable is
amortized through interest expense using the effective interest method. Actually, the difference between the face amount and
present value is either discount or premium on the issue of note payable.
PFRS 9, paragraph 4.2.2, provides that at initial recognition, a note payable may be irrevocably designated as at fair value
through profit or loss. In other words, under the fair value option, the note payable shall be measured initially at fair value and
remeasured at every year-end at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. There is no
amortization of transaction cost, discount and premium on note payable. As a matter of fact, interest expense is recognized
using the nominal or stated interest rate and not the effective interest rate.
Problem 9: (Loan payable) On January 1, 20X1, an entity obtains an 11%, P5,000,000 bank loan. The bank charges the entity
an 8.74% nonrefundable loan origination fee. The principal on the loan matures on December 31, 20X4 but interest is due annually
every December 31.
Requirement (a):

Trial and error:
Working formula:
(Principal: 5,000,000 x PV of 1 @ x%, n=4) + (Interest: 550,000 x PV ordinary annuity @ x%, n=4) = 4,563,000
(Principal: 5,000,000 x PV of 1 @ 16%, n=4) + (Interest: 550,000 x PV ordinary annuity @ 16%, n=4) = 4,563,000
(5,000,000 x 0.59208) + (550,000 x 2.91371) = 4,563,000
(2,960,400 + 1,602,541) = 4,563,000

Instructions: Prepare below are three independent situations. Prepare the journal entry that Freeze would make for each of these
restructurings. (Round off PV factors to 4 decimal places)
(a) (Asset Swap) Manhattan National Bank agrees to accept land in exchange for relinquishing its claim on this note. The land has
a book value of P1,950,000 and a fair value of P2,400,000.
(b) (Equity Swap) Manhattan National Bank agrees to take an equity interest in Freeze by accepting ordinary shares valued at
P2,200,000 in exchange for relinquishment its claim on this note. The fair value of liability extinguished value at P2,500,000. The
ordinary shares have a par value of P1,000,000.
(c) (Modification of Terms) Manhattan National Bank agrees to modify the terms of the note, indicating that Freeze does not
have to pay interest on the note over the 3-year period.
Under IFRIC 19, when equity instruments are issued to extinguish all or part of a financial liability, the equity instruments
issued shall be measured initially at the following in the order of priority.
The difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the initial measurement of the equity instruments issued shall
be recognized in profit or loss.

PROBLEMS
Problem 1: ( Types of Bonds) Chicken Company reported the following noncurrent liabilities on December 31, 20x4:
Unsecured
9% registered bonds (P250,000 maturing annually beginning in 20x5) P2,750,000
11% convertible bonds, callable beginning in 20x5, due 20x6 1,250,000
Secured
12% guaranty security bonds, due 20x6 2,500,000
10% commodity backed bonds (P500,000 maturing annually beginning in 20x5) 2,000,000
Required: What total amount of serial bonds and debenture bonds should be reported?
Page 20 of 28
3. Mortgage bonds are bonds secured by mortgage of real properties.
4. Collateral trust bonds are bonds secured by investments in stocks and bonds.
5. Debenture bonds are bonds without collateral security.
6. Registered bonds require the registration of the name of the bondholder on the books of the corporation. Consequently,
when the bondholder sells a bond, the old bond certificate is surrendered and a new bond certificate is issued to the buyer.
Interest is paid periodically to the bondholder of record.
7. Coupon or bearer bonds - The name of the bondholder is not registered. Accordingly, interest is paid periodically to the
bearer of the bond or the person submitting a detachable interest coupon.
8. Convertible bonds are bonds that can be exchanged for equity shares of the issuing entity.
9. Callable bonds are bonds that can be called in for payment before the date of maturity.
10. Guaranteed bonds are bonds issued whereby another party promises to make payment if the borrower fails to do so.
11. Junk bonds are high risk and high yield bonds issued by entities that are heavily indebted or otherwise in weak financial
position.
12. Commodity-backed bonds are bonds which are redeemable in terms of commodities such as oil or precious metals.
Problem 2 (Accounting for transactions costs): During the current year, Clean Company incurred the following costs in
connection with the issuance of bonds:
Promotion cost P200,000
Printing and engraving 150,000
Legal fees 800,000
Fees paid to independent accountants for registration information 100,000
Commissions paid to underwriter 900,000
Required: What total amount should be recorded as bond issue cost to be amortized over the term of the bonds?
Bond issue costs or "transaction costs" are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the issue of bonds payable. Such
costs include printing and engraving cost, promotion cost, legal and accounting fee, registration fee with regulatory authorities,
commission paid to agents and underwriters and other similar charges. Bond issue costs are not treated as outright expense
but amortized over the life of the bond issue in a manner similar to that used for discount on bonds payable. Bond issue costs
are conceived as cost of borrowing and therefore will increase interest expense. The amortization of bond issue costs is
recorded by debiting interest expense and crediting bond issue costs.
Problem 3 (With direct cost @ date of issuance): On January 1, 20x4, Casandra Company issued 3-year bonds with face value
of P5,000,000 at 99. The nominal rate is 10% and the interest is payable annually on December 31. The entity paid bond issue cost
of P150,000.
The PV of 1 at 11% for 3 periods is .7312, and the PV of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 11% for 3 periods is 2.4437. The present
value of the bonds using 11% is:
PV of principal (5,000,000 x .7312) P3,656,000
PV of annual interest payments (500,000 x 2.4437) 1,221,850
Total present value of bonds P4,877,850
The PV of 1 at 12% for 3 periods is .7118, and the PV of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 12% for 3 periods is 2.4018. The present
value of the bonds using 12% is:
PV of principal (5,000,000 x .7118) P3,559,000
PV of annual interest payments (500,000 x 2.4018) 1,200,900
Total present value of bonds P4,759,900
Required: What is the interest expense for 20x4 using the effective interest method?
This means that the effective rate is higher than 11% but lower than 12%. Thus, by interpolation, the interest differential is
determined as follows:
X – 11% 4,800,000 – 4,877,850 77,850
12% - 11% = 4,759,900 – 4,877,850 = 117,950 = .66
Thus, the effective rate is 11% plus the differential of .66 or 11.66%.
Problem 4: (Premium vs Discount amortization) ABC Corp. is authorized to issue P1,000,000 of 5-year bonds dated June 30,
20x9 with a stated interest rate of 10%. Interest on the bonds is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. The company
uses the effective interest method of amortization. The bonds were sold to yield (a) 8% (b) 11%.

Treasury bonds are an entity's own bonds originally issued and reacquired but not canceled.
When treasury bonds are acquired, the "treasury bonds account" is debited at face value and any related unamortized premium
or discount or issue cost is canceled. The difference between the acquisition cost and the carrying amount of the treasury
bonds is treated as gain or loss on acquisition of treasury bonds. Any accrued interest paid is charged to interest expense.
Treasury bonds are reported in the statement of financial position as a deduction from bonds payable.
Bond refunding is the floating of new bonds payable the proceeds from which are used in paying the original bonds payable.
Simply stated, bond refunding is the premature retirement of the old bonds payable through the issuance of new bonds
payable.
The refunding charges include the unamortized bond discount or premium, unamortized bond issue cost and redemption
premium on the old bonds being refunded. PFRS 9, paragraph 3.3.1, provides that bond refunding is an extinguishment of a
financial liability. Paragraph 3.3.3 further provides that the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability
extinguished and the consideration paid shall be included in profit or loss. Accordingly, the refunding charges shall be
accounted for as loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Case 2: (Retirement price include accrued interest) Marie Company reported the following balances on December 31, 20x4:

Case 3: (With direct cost @ date of conversion) On December 31, 20x3, Princess Company had outstanding 10%, P1,000,000
face amount convertible bonds payable maturing on December 31,20x16. Interest is payable on June 30 and December 31. Each
P1,000 bond is convertible into 50 shares of P10 par value. On December 31,20x3, the unamortized premium on bonds payable was
P60,000. On December 31,20x3, 400 bonds were converted when Princess's share had a market price of P24. The entity incurred
P4,000 in connection with the conversion. No equity component was recognized when the bonds were originally issued. What is the
share premium from the issuance of shares as a result of the bond conversion on December 31, 20x3?
Explain the accounting for the conversion of convertible bonds into share capital.
If bonds are converted into share capital of the issuing entity, the accounting problem is the measurement of the share capital
issued.
Application Guidance 32 of PAS 32 provides that on conversion of a convertible instrument at maturity, the entity derecognizes
the liability component and recognizes it as equity.
The reason is that the convertible bond is viewed in substance as an equity and the conversion is really an exchange of one
type of equity capital for another.
The conversion is not considered a significant economic transaction and therefore no gain or loss would be recognized.
Accordingly, the carrying amount of the bonds payable is the measure of the share capital issued because the carrying amount
is the "effective price" for the shares issued as a result of the conversion.
Any cost incurred in connection with the bond conversion shall be deducted from share premium, if any.
The carrying amount of the bonds payable is equal to the face value plus accrued interest if not paid, plus unamortized
premium or minus unamortized discount and bond issue cost.
Problem 11: (Bonds with detachable share warrants) On March 1, 20x9, Onyx issued P1,000,000 of its 10% non-convertible
bonds at 103, due February 28, 20x19. Each P1,000 bond was issued with 30 detachable share warrants, each of which entitles
the holder to purchase for P50, one ordinary share of Onyx, par value P25. If sold without the warrants, the bond would yield 12%.
REQUIRED:
(a.) Determine the amount assigned to the bonds and to the warrants on March 1, 20x9.
(b.) Compute Interest expense for 20x9.
(c.) Compute the carrying value of the bonds on December 31, 20x9.
(d.) Journalize the exercise of the warrants assuming that all warrants were exercised on June 30, 20x10.
Suggested Answers:
(a) Issue price of bonds with warrants (1,000,000 x 1.03) 1,030,000
Bond price without warrants
1,000,000 x 0.3220 322,000

Value of share warrants 142,980
Problem 12: (Fair value option) On January 1, 20x3, an entity issued bonds with face amount of P5,000,000 and 12% stated
interest rate for P5,379,100. The bonds are sold to yield 10%. Interest is payable annually on December 31. The entity paid bond
issue cost of P100,000. On December 31, 20x3, the fair value of the bonds is determined to be P5,300,000.
Required: Prepare the journal entries for 20x3 assuming the entity elects the fair value option of measuring the bonds payable.
Suggested Answer:
PFRS 9, paragraph 5.3.1, provides that after initial recognition, bonds payable shall be measured either:
a. At amortized cost, using the effective interest method
b. At fair value through profit or loss
The "amortized cost" of bonds payable is the amount at which the bond liability is measured initially minus principal repayment,
plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and
the maturity amount. Simply stated, the difference between the face amount and present value of the bonds payable is
amortized using the effective interest method. Actually, the difference between the face amount and present value is either
discount or premium on the issue of the bonds payable. Accordingly, discount on bonds payable and bond issue cost are
presented as deduction from bonds payable and premium on bonds payable is an addition to bonds payable.
PFRS 9, paragraph 4.2.2, provides that at initial recognition, bonds payable may be irrevocably designated as at fair value
through profit or loss. In other words, under the fair value option, the bonds payable shall be measured initially at fair value
and remeasured at every year-end at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. There is no more
amortization of bond issue cost, bond discount and bond premium. As a matter of fact, interest expense is recognized using
the nominal or stated interest rate and not the effective interest rate.
