jpowell31Participantunfortunately that's been my experience. i get weak areas when i'm not prepared. sometimes the exam is focused on what seems like 3 chapters (literally) and it's like i could've known that front and backward if i stuck to those topics! so if those are the topics you know…the exams a breeze. if it's not..you get mad that you spent so much time focusing on the other BS..and it's much easier to fail. similarly sometimes there's zero wordy questions so you feel like you wasted your time understanding these in becker and wonder if it was easy because you were doing badly…and other times, it's all wordy and it can really throw you off if you haven't practiced these sorts of things and you think well, i must've been doing well….but i didn't finish because i wasted time.
sorry. it's always going to be a total mindf*ck – i have a bit more experience than those who only sat one exam each 🙂

jstayParticipantand those who haven't sat for any! appreciate the insight

AnonymousInactiveC/s info:
shares out 1/1/x2 20,000
2 for 1 stock split, 4/1/x2 20,000
shares issued, 7/1/x2 10,000
What is year 2 WA#C/S outstanding?
me: 40,000
answer: 45,000
this is what I did
1/1/x2 out. all year 20,000
4/1/x2 2-for-1 split 15,000 (20,000×9/12)
7/1/x2 sh. issued 5,000 (10,000×6/12)
answer
1/1/x2 out. all year 20,000
4/1/x2 2-for-1 split 20,000
(40,000 x6/12)= 20,000
7/1/x2 sh. issued 10,000
(50,000×6/12)= 25,000
I guess I kinda understand the 2 for 1 split calculation what's confusing is the 7/1/x2 part. Why are they taking half of the 50,000 and not half of the 10,000?

D CMember2 questions along the same line…
1. This is follow up to my earlier post regarding sale and lease backs.
What items are used to determine the major, minor, and middle “value” of the lease back? I have one question that used the PV of the lease payments compared to the sales price and another question that used the lease life lengths to determine this. I guess both can be used but any clarification would help.
2. For non-monetary exchanges when boot/cash is received we can recognize a gain either in full if we received greater than 25% of the total consideration or in a proportion of the total consideration to cash received if its less than 25%.
What do we use for the total consideration? Is it the FV of the total asset we receive or give up? Is it FV of the asset we give or receive plus or minus any cash exchanged?
Thanks…

jstayParticipantno questions yet, i just find T/S a pain in the ass…par vs cost and whats in apic after all is said an done etc, etc
@DC wasn't it FV of item given up?
also, i remember it sometimes being a “plug”–which may be when greater then 25%….not really sure, probably going to hit that tomorrow

D CMemberI would reformat to make it easier to read….helped me out…
Cost method – used 95% of the time
· Treasury shares are recorded and carried at their acquisition cost
· Gain/loss will be determined when the treasury stock is reissued or retired
dr: Treasury stock xx (shares * acquisition price)
cr: Cash xx
Resell at gain
dr: Cash xx (amount received)
cr: TS xx (cost)
cr: APIC-TS xx (plug)
Resell at a loss and there is not enough is APIC to cover the loss
dr: Cash xx
dr: APIC-TS xx
dr: R/E xx (excess amount)
cr: TS xx (cost)
Present on B/S after R/E before stockholders equity total
Legal or par value method
· Treasury shares are recorded by reducing the amounts of par value and APIC received at the time of
original sale.
· Gain/loss immediately calculated upon repurchase
Repurchase at a gain
dr: Treasury stock xx (shares * original par value)
dr: APIC xx (shares * original APIC value)
cr: Cash xx (cash paid)
cr: APIC-TS xx (plug)
Repurchase at a loss
Treasury stock xx (shares * original par value)
dr: APIC xx (shares * original APIC value)
dr: R/E xx (plug)
cr: Cash xx (cash paid)
Never increase R/E, only decrease if necessary
Present on B/S after common stock

jstayParticipantyeah i think i have the journal entries down..sorta, just needa spend some more time on it to get it down pat. but its the fact that i need to get through the question(s) in 30-40 seconds that kills me

HopefulCPA0601Member@dc –
1) yes both can be used to determine major, minor, etc leaseback
2) fv of machine received + boot received = total consideration received

jpowell31Participantits FV machine given up…or received…whichever is more readily determinable. every question seems completely different to me. drilled into this today but am still a bit confused. couldn't get stuck on it any longer though.

krokofilenMember5 more study days! I do regret a bit that I postponed from Wednesday to Thursday a few weeks ago, seems like I would be alright with Wednesday after all and that would give me a day longer “vacation” in the U.S.
Anyways, flying out on Monday and excited to get this done!!

jstayParticipantwhat is the difference between GAAP and IFRS when it comes to capitalizing costs in connection with issuance of bonds?
i know GAAP is capitalize everything (printing, engraving, legal, fees for registration, commissions)
but whats capitalized under IFRS?
August 9, 2014 at 2:54 pm #599635
jpowell31ParticipantGAAP – they're an asset amortized, IFRS they're deducted from the carrying value then amortized… that's what my IFRS summary says anyway 🙂
August 9, 2014 at 3:09 pm #599636
jstayParticipantyeah i think thats bond issue costs, i got that. but a problem i just had it said under GAAP what is capitalized and it had all the printing, engraving, legal, fees for registration, commissions costs, and they were all capitalized.
under ifrs they would be deducted from a premium or added to discount just as a bond issue cost?
