Question 1: What amount of derivative asset to be reported separately in the December 31,2011 statement of financial
position assuming the host contract (debt instrument) was classified as trading securities as initial recognition?
        a. None                           c. P260,000
        b. P250,000                       d. P300,000
Answer: A
Note: Since the host contract is classified as at FV through P/L, the embedded derivative is not bifurcated/separeated,
hence the derivative asset is not reported separately in the FS.
Question 2: What amount of derivative asset to be reported separately in the December 31,2011 statement of financial
position assuming the host contract (debt instrument) was classified as available for sale at initial recognition?
a. None                            c. P260,000
b. P250,000                        d. P300,000
Answer: D
Note: When the host contract is not carried at FV through P/L and the embedded derivative is a derivative when it was
freestanding and also it is not clearly and closely related to the host contract, the embedded derivative is bifurcated.
Therefore, at initial recognition the derivative asset is recognized and measured at its FV of P260,000 and re-measured at
P300,000 on Dec 31, 2011 balance sheet and the resulting increase is reported in the current year profit or loss.
