Accounting- Ida Impairment
Ida U.S. Operations:
Ida Inc. (Ida) is a manufacturing company with operations in the United States and Spain. Ida is a U.S. subsidiary of a U.K. entity and prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP for reporting to its U.S.-based lender and in accordance with IFRS in reporting to its parent. Ida owns and operates a commercial building that at year-end 2010 represents a a cash-generating unit (CGU) under IFRS and a long-lived asset classified as held and used under U.S. GAAP. One of Ida’s competitors sold its commercial building for an amount significantly less than its asking price in December 2010. The competitor’s building is located across the street from Ida’s building, has approximately the same square footage, and was built five years after Ida’s building was constructed. The following information was provided regarding Ida’s commercial building as of December 31,2010:

Carrying Amount $4,500,000 Value in Use $4,000,000 Fair Market Less Cost to Sell $3,800,000 Fair Market Value $3,900,000 Undiscounted Future Cash Flows $4,200,000

Ida Spanish Operations:
Ida acquired a smaller competing company located in Spain, and the acquisition resulted in goodwill being recorded. Assume that (1) the activities in Spain represent the lowest level at which internal management monitors goodwill and (2) the Spanish operations represent CGU under IFRS and reporting unit under U.S. GAAP. At the end of 2009 under GAAP and IFRS the recoverable amount of the asset including goodwill exceeded its carrying amount, suggesting that the goodwill allocated to the Spanish operations was impaired. At the end of 2010 a new legislation act was passed restricting exports of Ida’s main product. The following information relates to the CGU/reporting unit of Ida’s Spanish operations before impairment analysis:

Cash $50,000 PP&E $3,000,000 Land $150,000

    When we are using IFRS to examine an impairment of Eagle’s Italy building, one is recognized “if, and only if, the recoverable amount of the building is less than its carrying amount. The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss.” (IAS 36-59). In order to see if this IFRS is present we must first determine the recoverable amount, which is the higher of a cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use (IAS 36-18). Therefore recoverable amount would take the highest of the $900,000 value in use and the $800,000 fair market value less costs to sell. Then IFRS can determine if there is impairment by seeing that the carrying amount of $1,100,000 is greater than the $900,000 value in use. Thus under IFRS an impairment loss of $200,000 has occurred.…

    3. Ida should record $500,000 impairment loss on the U.S. commercial building when reporting to its parent as of December 31, 2012. Since the recoverability test is needed under IFRSs, Ida needs to figure out the amount of impairment (if any) which should record on the commercial building and report to its parent as of December 31, 2012. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The carrying amount of Ida's building is $4,500,000, and in order to calculate the impairment loss, its recoverable amount is required.…

    Date: 4-11-09Re: Case 3-5A.Discuss the concept of relevance. In your opinion, would the amounts reported by U.S. companies for property, plant, and equipment be more or less relevant than the current cost amounts reported by companies in England, Mexico, or elsewhere?RelevanceInformation is relevant when it influences the economic decisions of users by helping them evaluate past, present, and future or by confirming or correcting their past evaluations. Relevance is also affected by materiality. Information has the quality of relevance when it is 'capable of making a difference in the economic decisions of users by helping them evaluate the effect of past and present events on future net cash inflows (predictive value) or confirm or correct previous evaluations(confirmatory value), even if it is not being used' (FASB, 2005: 2; FASB 1980: 37). In the IASB framework information has the quality of relevance 'when it influences the economic decisions of users by helping them evaluate past, present of future events or confirming, or correcting, their past evaluations' (IASB, 1989: 24). Both frameworks thus say that accounting information is relevant if it has the capacity to make a difference in a decision. The FASB requires information to be capable of making a difference in the economic decisions of users 'even if it is not being used'. However, to be relevant the IASB definition additionally requires that information is used i.e. influences the decision maker in making economic decisions. Another small difference between the FASB and IASB framework is the FASB framework explicitly mentions that relevant information has to have predictive and feedback value, while the IASB uses these terms implicit in its framework. 'The predictive and confirmatory roles of information are interrelated (IASB,1989: 27).…

    Gaap vs Ifrs

    • 27 Pages

    The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast some of important differences between US GAAP and IFRS and, though this analysis, give a better understanding how these standards apply in the real world accounting field. This paper analyzes similarities and differences in revenue recognition, asset impairment, consolidation processes, contingencies, and depreciation. In revenue recognition, the definition and treatment of revenue recognition according to US GAAP and IFRS is different. GAAP recognizes revenue when all of the following criterions are made: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. IFRS, on the other hand, has more general requirements and less specified guidance. In asset impairment, the primary difference between GAAP and IFRS is that US GAAP requires a two-step process while IFRS only requires a one step process to…

    Loewen Case

    • 1942 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Over the last two decades Loewen Group, a death care provider, had been growing by acquiring small independent funeral homes and cemeteries in densely populated areas but in recent years the company had also acquired several large established funeral chains. Over the last five years alone, Loewen had embarked on an aggressive growth strategy which accounted for consolidated revenues’ growth of nearly 30% a year on average from $303 billion to over $1.1 billion. This growth through acquisitions was funded primarily through debt which was evident as long term debt increased $922.8 million from 1994 to 1998; this was a 195.88% increase. One benefit of debt financing was that it provided a tax benefit. From 1994 to 1998 Loewen had paid $488.6 million in interest. Loewen’s tax rate was 45% therefore; debt financing resulted in a tax savings of $219.87 million. Another advantage of debt financing was that it did not afford the lender ownership. Therefore, the lender had no say in how one’s business was conducted. In order for one to reap the benefits of debt financing though one must be able to comply with all aspects of the debt agreement. When unable to do so the consequences can be devastating to a business.…
