JTParticipantMaLoTu
I looked back into my material and was able to find that answer. Yes.
Thank you for your response too. I'm not sure if its the same for IFRS though. You confirmed that?

JTParticipantRegarding your second question about straight-line and bond issue cost, I haven't seen a question with both of those elements so Im not sure. That's a pretty big curveball to throw at people, in my opinion.
I think it would be separate.

JTParticipantAntoher question, while we're on it,…. hypothetically, if there was a premium for 50k and bond issue cost were 50k, then I guess we wouldn't be amortizing anything at all. correct?

MaLoTuParticipantI will try not to overthink the amortization …. I was just curious because in the real world a premium and issuance costs would exist. Maybe someone will know. I just worry if it is in a sim.

AnonymousInactive@kanwal78 I will be happy to for the help you provided!
I just took the moderate questions from the 2106 released questions and I am hoping someone can help me understand how the answers are computed for the following three questions. I appreciate your help and thank you!! I take FAR tomorrow, and after taking these question I am not feeling too confident anymore.
1. A transportation company purchased a passenger bus for $100,000 on January 1, year 1. The company
expects the bus to be used for 20 years if it follows a maintenance schedule of replacing the engine after
10 years and replacing the seats every eight years. It estimates that the current cost to replace the engine
is $25,000 and the current cost to replace the seats is $10,000. The company uses straight-line
depreciation and the bus has no residual value. The company considers any component equal to or
greater than 10% of the overall cost to be significant. Under IFRS, how much depreciation expense
should the company recognize for the bus for the year ended December 31, year 1? Answer is B.
A. $5,000
B. $7,000
C. $7,250
D. $8,5002. Howard Co. had the following first-year amounts for a $7,000,000 construction contract:
Actual costs $2,000,000
Estimated costs to complete 6,000,000
Progress billings 1,800,000
Cash collected 1,500,000
What amount should Howard recognize as gross profit (loss) using the percentage-of-completion method? Answer is A
A. ($1,000,000)
B. ($200,000)
C. $800,000
D. $1,750,0003. A company reported net income available to common stockholders of $2,000,000 for the year ended December 31, year 2. The
company had 1,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 1, year 2, and issued 500,000 additional shares of
common stock on May 1, year 2. What amount is the company's basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, year 2?
A. $1.00
B. $1.09
C. $1.20
D. $1.33May 25, 2016 at 6:44 pm #765582
MaLoTuParticipant@Dab – I have a feeling that they will have to be separate somehow, but this is going to drive me crazy now, lol.
marqzho would know the answer … lol. He always knows the answer …
May 25, 2016 at 6:48 pm #765583
MaLoTuParticipantAnd I am watching the bond lectures right now and it doesn't seem like they do issuance costs with premiums in the same questions. IDK.
May 25, 2016 at 6:53 pm #765584
JTParticipantI need to go over that lecture as well. I get crossed up between those rules and acquisitions debt issuance between whats expensed and whats capitalized.

KJParticipantWell I was amortizing all the costs up until when I came through one question and it deducted the costs, so I asked if we no longer do it but Dab said we still amortized it. I am really confused. i just did one question posted by boating about restructuring of debt and to get to the answer I had to use S/L amortization for bond issuance costs. Then yesterday I came across another question and the answer was based on amortization of issuance costs. So I am not sure, this sucks!!!

KJParticipantThis is what Ninja notes has:
Bond Issuance Costs (NEW)
o Third Party debt issuance costs (Engraving,
Printing, Legal, Underwriter, Registration, etc)
o Old: Recorded as Asset and Amortized
o New: Reduces Carrying Amount of Liability
§ Key: Increases Effective Interest Rate
o Disclosures: Same as a Change in Accounting

MaLoTuParticipant@kanwal- dont know if this helps at all – they are amortized, apparently lumped in with any discount. They are not an asset, but they are netted against the proceeds (a contra account).
May 25, 2016 at 7:13 pm #765589
KJParticipantThanks MaLoTu, so we will amortize.

JTParticipantthanks Marqzho
Kanwal…This is a good example I think
On June 30, Huff Corp. issued at 99, 1,000 of its 8%, $1,000 bonds. The bonds were issued through an underwriter to whom Huff paid bond issue costs of $35,000. On June 30, Huff should report the bond liability at:
A. $955,000.
B. $990,000.
C. $1,000,000.
D. $1,025,000.
Answer is a.
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts; the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs were not affected by the amendments. Amortization of debt issuance costs also shall be reported as interest expense; issue costs will no longer be reported in the balance sheet as deferred charges.
The carrying value of the debt, initially, the bond liability, is $990,000, computed as the number of bonds multiplied by the face amount per bond, multiplied by the issue percentage, reduced by the bond issue costs of $35,000:
•1,000 bonds × $1,000 face × 0.99 = $990,000
•$990,000 − $35,000 = $955,000Basically, bond issue cost are expensed, then amortized, just like bond discounts.
My questions (which I get confused with a lot) was what entails bond issue cost and the situations to use this method, I know for acquisition/combos, this method isn't used. Also, some fees, like accountant fees, might not be classified as bond issue cost. For the most part, I think Im starting to get the difference though.
