...Case #2 (Eagle Impairment Loss) Question 1: The Impairment Loss of Eagle in Italy under IFRS Recoverability test: Asset’s carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount which is the higher of the asset’s value-in-use (discounted present value of the asset’s expected future cash flows) and fair market value less costs to sell. (IAS36-15) According to IAS36-6, “an impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss = Carrying amount - Value in use = $1,100,000-900,000=$200,000 Question 2: The Impairment Loss of Eagle in Italy under U.S. GAAP (FASB 360-10) Recoverability test: Asset’s carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows from the asset. Because the carrying amount $1,100 is less than the undiscounted future cash flows $1,150, there is no impairment loss. Question 3: The Impairment Loss of Eagle in Serbia 1. Impairment of Goodwill under GAAP and IFRSs - Two-step approach for testing goodwill impairment under U.S. GAAP (FASB ASC-350-20-35) 1) If assets’ fair value of reporting unit is greater than the carrying amount including goodwill, there is no impairment. 2) If there’s impairment indicated by step 1, then compare implied fair value of goodwill with carrying amount. Implied fair value of goodwill is obtained by deducting the fair values of all the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities from the fair value of the reporting unit. From...

...Case 10-2 Eagle Impairment Case Question #1 Under IFRS’ International Account Standard No.36^15 an asset must be assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. The information provided for the commercial building in Italy does not say whether there are is an event or change in circumstances that indicate that book value of the asset may not be recoverable. Since there is no indicator mentioned, one possibility would be that no investigation of impairment take place and there is no impairment loss. It is more likely however that there are indicators that have occurred, they just aren’t identifiable from the information given. If there were indicators and impairment was tested there is no recoverability test under IFRS. An impairment loss is recognized when an asset’s book value exceeds the higher of the asset’s value-in-use or fair value less costs to sell. For Italy’s commercial building the book value is $1,100,000, the value-in-use is $900,000, and the fair value less costs to sell is $800,000. Since the commercial building’s book value is higher than the value-in-use an impairment would be recognized as the difference between book value and the recoverable amount (value-in-use in this situation). So an impairment loss would be recognized for $200,000($1,100,000- $900,000). Question #2 Under U.S. GAAP, assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that book value may not be recoverable. For the building in...

...Case 10-2 Eagle Impairment Loss Eagle Company (Eagle) is a manufacturing company with operations in Italy and Serbia. Eagle in Italy: In addition to other assets, Eagle owns and operates a commercial building in Italy that is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The building represents a cash-generating unit (CGU) for which the following information is available as of December 31, 2010: Building 12/31/10 in thousands  Carrying amount  $1,100  Value in use   900  Fair market value less costs to sell 800  Fair market value  850  Undiscounted future cash flows 1,150  Eagle in Serbia: In Serbia, in 2008, Eagle acquired a smaller competing company and goodwill was allocated to the CGU shown below. Activities in Serbia represent the lowest level at which internal management monitors goodwill. At the end of 2008 and 2009, the value in use of the CGU including goodwill exceeded its carrying amount. Therefore the activities of Eagle in Serbia and the goodwill allocated to those activities were regarded as not impaired. However, at the end of 2010, the newly elected government passed legislation significantly restricting exports of Eagle’s main product. The information below relates to the CGU (which includes goodwill) of Eagle’s operations in Serbia before the impairment analysis is performed.

...The case begins with describing Eagle impairment, which is a manufacturing company, which has operations in Italy and Serbia. In Italy Eagle owns and operates a commercial building that is carried at its cost less depreciation. The case then gives us a chart which shows us Cash generating unit that includes: carrying amount $1,100, value in use 900, fair market value less costs to sell 800, fair market value 850, and undiscounted future cash flows 1,150 all in thousands. Eagle’s manufacturing company in Serbia attained a smaller competing company. The activities in Serbia are regarded as not impaired because the value in the use of CGU including goodwill exceeds its carrying amount. By the end of 2010 the govt passed a legislation drastically restricting exports of eagle’s main merchandise. The CGU in the end of 2010 was altered because of the new legislation, which included: cash $50, property plant and equipment 1,100, land 150, goodwill 300, total assets 1,600, liabilities (200), and carrying value 1,400 all in thousands. The case goes on to show us a 5 year business forecast of Eagle Impairment. It reflects an increase in the amount of capital expenditures in order to modify Eagle’s mail product. Eagle uses straight line depreciation and anticipates no residual value. 1. I assume the commercial building meets the requirements for a recoverable test under IFRS. The carrying value is $1,100 whci is greater than the claue in use which is $900. The fair market value less...

...Case #2 Murong Feng, Duy Do, TJ Fritzgerald, Hayden Jacobs 2/13/15 Question 1 Given the facts provided for Eagle in Italy, the building is not impaired under IFRS as of December 31, 2010. The carrying value is 1,100,000, and undiscounted future cash flows are 1,150,000. The carrying value is less than undiscounted future cash flows. According to IAS36 paragraph 12, “in assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, an entity shall consider, as a minimum, the following indications: (d) the carrying amount of the net assets of the entity is more than its market capitalization.” Thus, there is not any impairment on the building under IFRS. Question 2 Given the facts provided for Eagle in Italy, the building is impaired under U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2010. Under ACS 360-35-17, “An impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset” In the case, the carrying value is 1,100,000, and the fair value is 850,000. The carrying value is more than its fair value, an impairment should be recognized. However, it is recoverable since its carrying value is less than undiscounted future cash flows. In ASC 360-35-17 “An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying value...

...Case 2: Eagle Impairment Loss 1. We have referred to IAS 36 to make the decision on the amount that should be impaired by Eagle in Italy. Since in the case it says that there are qualitative factors that suggest an impairment is likely, we have to evaluate based on the recoverability test. IAS claims that we can recognize an impairment loss under the following circumstances: “If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset 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.”(IAS36-59). To be able to determine the amount impaired, we have to find the definition of recoverable amount. On Page 13 in IAS 36, the recoverable amount of an asset is, “the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. (P-13 IAS 36) So, the impairment loss is 1100, 000-900,000=200,000 2. According to the FASB, “An impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.”(360-10-35-17) However, in this case the recoverable costs is 1,150,000 which is larger than the carrying value 1,100,000. Thus, we do not need to record the impairment loss under GAAP. 3. Part 1 IFRS Under IFRS, “A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated shall be tested for Impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing the carrying amount of the...

...He recalled that there was a time when his seventy-three year old dad came over to his house, and Johnson had his son help out his grandfather. As Brad was walking down the steps one at a time with two feet, his son told him that he was moving the exact same way as his father. Not only was the grandfather older but he also had a bad knee. Despite Brad being half his father’s age, he moved as if he were in his seventies as well. That was a major eye opener for Brad. He began to fully realize by his decision of continuing to play after he was told to end his career, the toll he paid on not only his body, but his mentality. Concussions in the NFL take several approaches, one of which is the approach of the conflict theory. It is based on cases where players sue the NFL for not properly treating and caring for it, as well as the debatably issue itself. The former players (the social group) argue that those who suffered the worst head trauma should sue the NFL and then receive a payout. The second approach is the functionalist perspective. It would be used when former NFL players with brain damage deal with their mental illnesses in their own specific way, but still keep true to the fact that they have an inner instability. They must also be not afraid to display socially some of those instabilities in way that is minor to the NFL. Finally, the last approach is the Interactionalist theory. This takes to this approach for the reason that it states that former players with brain...

...Introduction A report for the Eagles Ltd board of directors has been prepared by external consultant. In this report ratio analyses have been used to comment on the performance of the business over two year period (2008 and 2009). Profitability, Liquidity, Efficiency and Gearing ratios have been calculated (See Appendix) and used to reveal and explain the situation in the company. Firstly the importance of each kind of financial ratios is explained. Then each ratio is analysed according to provided information (income statement and balance sheet). Finally recommendation for further actions for Eagles Ltd is given. Limitations • If used incorrectly ratios can be useless and misleading (Elliott, B., and Elliott, J., 2005). • Ratios can highlight the problems that company has, but they can’t explain the reasons of these problems (Atrilll and McLaney, 2008). • Not all ratios are useful to all users. • In this particular case the field in which business operates is unknown. • The cash flow statement wasn’t available to compare money investments and actions taken each year. Profitability ratios Khan and Jain (2007) state that management of the company is interested in operating efficiency and owners expect reasonable returns of their invested funds. Income is crucial for survival and development of any business.

...For the exclusive use of D. Xiang, 2015. 9-200-044 REV: JANUARY 15, 2002 LISA MEULBROEK Kmart Inc. and Builders Square Introduction In July 1997, Kmart appeared to be nearing a year-long effort to sell its faltering Do-It-Yourself (DIY) home improvement chain, Builders Square. Leonard Green & Partners, a Los Angeles-based retail buyout firm, had proposed to buy Builders Square (BSQ) and merge it with Hechinger’s, a Washington, D.C.-based DIY chain that had been a pioneer in the retail home improvement industry. The newly-formed Builders Square-Hechinger combination would create the nation’s third largest DIY retailer, and seemed to be one of the few options left to Kmart. Kmart’s CEO, Floyd Hall, had a difficult decision to make: should he move forward with Green’s offer of $10 million for Builders Square, or should he continue the search in hopes of receiving a higher offer? Green’s offer seemed surprisingly low, even given Builders Square’s recent sub-par performance, yet bidders for Builders Square had been slow to materialize. Indeed, Kmart’s recent talks concerning a joint venture with Waban Co.’s HomeBase centers ended when Waban’s management withdrew without explanation. As the decision neared, Kmart’s options seemed limited and time was short. Kmart and its Entry into Specialty Retailing Kmart Corporation, one of the world’s largest mass merchandise retailers, began as the S.S. Kresge Company in 1912 and by the 1950s it was one of the largest...

... Q1-1 Complex organizational structures often result when companies do business in a complex business environment. New subsidiaries or other entities may be formed for purposes such as extending operations into foreign countries, seeking to protect existing assets from risks associated with entry into new product lines, separating activities that fall under regulatory controls, and reducing taxes by separating certain types of operations. Q1-2 The split-off and spin-off result in the same reduction of reported assets and liabilities. Only the stockholders’ equity accounts of the company are different. The number of shares outstanding remains unchanged in the case of a spin-off and retained earnings or paid-in capital is reduced. Shares of the parent are exchanged for shares of the subsidiary in a split-off, thereby reducing the outstanding shares of the parent company. Q1-3 The management of Enron appears to have used special-purpose entities to avoid reporting debt on its balance sheet and to create fictional transactions that resulted in reported income. It also transferred bad loans and investments to special-purpose entities to avoid recognizing losses in its income statement. Q1-4 (a) A statutory merger occurs when one company acquires another company and the assets and liabilities of the acquired company are...
