CHAPTER 9

INVESTMENTS

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES

1. Understand the nature of and basic accounting for investments, including which types of
companies have significant investments. This chapter deals with investments in basic debt and
equity instruments of other companies. Debt instruments such as bonds generally carry contractual
rights to receive principal and interest payments. Equity instruments such as shares may carry
contractual rights to receive dividends (depending on the type of share) and may also carry voting
rights and/or rights to receive residual assets upon windup of a company. Care must be taken to
determine exactly what rights the investments entitle the holder to as this will help determine the
accounting. Not all companies carry significant investments. It depends on the business model.
Examples of types of companies that generally carry significant investments are financial institutions,
insurance companies, and pension funds. There are three basic models for accounting for
investments: the cost/amortized cost model, the FV-NI model, and the FV-OCI model

2. Explain and apply the cost/amortized cost model of accounting for investments. At acquisition,
the cost of the investment is recognized as its fair value plus transaction costs. If the investment is a
debt instrument, any premium or discount is amortized to interest income. Holding gains are
recognized only when realized, as are holding losses, unless the investment is impaired. The
investment is reported at its cost or amortized cost as either a current asset or a long-term
investment, depending on its maturity and management’s intention to hold it. ASPE uses this model
for most investments excluding equity investments where an active market exists for trading the
shares and derivatives. IFRS 9 uses this model for debt instruments where the entity’s business model
is to hold the investments to maturity.

3. Explain and apply the fair value through net income model of accounting for investments. At
acquisition, the investment is recognized at its fair value, with transaction costs being expensed. At
each reporting date, the investment is revalued to its current fair value, with holding gains and losses
recognized in net income. Dividend and interest income is also recognized in net income. If the
investment is not held for trading purposes, any interest income is reported separately and is adjusted
for discount or premium amortization. If held for trading or other current purposes, the investment is
reported as a current asset. ASPE uses this for equity instruments where there is an active market and
derivatives. IFRS 9 uses this model for all investments not accounted for under the cost/amortized
cost model or the FV–OCI model. ASPE and IFRS both allow any investment to be accounted for using
FV–NI under the fair value option.

4. Explain and apply the fair value through other comprehensive income model of accounting for
investments. At acquisition, the investment is recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. At each
reporting date, the investment is revalued to its current fair value, with the holding gains or losses
reported in other comprehensive income. On disposal, the accumulated holding gains or losses are
either recycled to net income (debt securities) or transferred directly to retained earnings (equity
securities). Investments are reported as current or long-term assets, depending on marketability and
management intent. ASPE does not allow this method. IFRS 9 allows this method for certain equity
investments and debt securities where the business model is achieved by both holding to maturity
and selling (depending on the investment and circumstances).

5. Explain and apply the incurred loss, expected loss, and fair value loss impairment models. The
three impairment loss models differ in the timing of the recognition of impairment losses and the
discount rate used. Under the incurred loss approach, a triggering event is required before a loss is
recognized and measured, and the revised cash flows are discounted using either the historical or a
current market rate. Under the expected loss approach, no triggering event is required, and revised
cash flows and impairment losses are determined on a continual basis. The discount rate is the
historical/original rate. Using the fair value loss model, the asset is written down to fair value taking
into account market information (refer back to Chapters 2 and 3). ASPE and IFRS use the incurred loss
model for all cost/amortized cost investments, although the post-impairment carrying values are
measured differently. IFRS 9 uses the expected loss model for all cost/amortized cost investments as
well as FV-OCI debt securities. Under IFRS 9, impairment losses on FV–OCI equity investments are not
recognized in net income. Where the FV–NI model is used, there is no need to specifically assess
impairment because the investment is continually revalued to fair value and any gains or losses are
booked to income.

6. Explain the concept of significant influence and apply the equity method. Significant influence is
the ability to have an effect on strategic decisions made by an investee’s board of directors, but not
enough to control those decisions. The equity method, sometimes referred to as one-line
consolidation, is used because income is recognized by the investor as it is earned. The investor’s
income statement will reflect the performance of the investee company. Under this method, the
investment account is adjusted for all changes in the investee’s book value and for the amortization of
any purchase discrepancy. IFRS requires use of the equity method for its associates (investees a
company can significantly influence). ASPE provides a policy choice: either the equity method or the
cost method, except that associates with a quoted price in an active market cannot be accounted for
at cost. Instead, the FV–NI model can be used.

7. Explain the concept of control and when consolidation is appropriate. Control relates to the
ability to direct the strategic decisions of another entity and to generate returns for your own benefit
or loss. When one company controls another, it controls all the net assets of that entity and is
responsible for all its revenues and expenses. Therefore, all of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities,
and revenues and expenses, are reported by the parent investor on a line-by-line basis in consolidated
financial statements. The interests of the noncontrolling shareholders in the subsidiary company are
reported separately as noncontrolling interest. Under IFRS, all subsidiaries are consolidated. ASPE, on

the other hand, allows consolidation or a choice of the equity or cost method. Investments in
companies with shares traded in an active market cannot be reported using the cost method, but may
use FV–NI.

8. Explain how investments are presented and disclosed in the financial statements, noting how
this facilitates analysis. The objectives of disclosure are to provide information so users can assess
the significance of the financial asset investments to the entity’s financial position and performance,
the extent of risks to which the company is exposed as a result, and how those risks are managed. As a
result, the investments are identified on the statement of financial position according to how they are
classified for accounting purposes, with the income statement reporting information on the returns
by method of classification. Extensive disclosure is required, particularly under IFRS, on the entity’s
risk exposures and how it manages those risks.

9. Identify differences in accounting between IFRS and ASPE, and what changes are expected in the
near future. The differences are noted in Illustrations 9-7, 9-19 9-11, 9-12 and 9-13. There are
significant differences, partly because ASPE has adopted a more simplified approach.

EXERCISES

Ex. 9-97 Shares acquired on margin


What does it mean when an investment in shares is acquired on margin and how is the asset
recorded?

Solution 9-97
Investments in shares acquired on margin means that the investor pays only part of the purchase
price to acquire the shares. The rest is financed by the broker. Since the shares legally belong to the
investor, the asset is recorded at the full share price and a liability to the broker for the amount that
was financed is also recognized.

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Twelfth Canadian Edition

Solution 9-99
ASPE uses the cost/amortized cost model for most investments, excluding equity investments where
an active market exists for trading the shares and derivatives. IFRS 9 uses this model for debt
instruments where the entity’s business model is to hold the investments to maturity.

List three reasons why an organization would make investments.

Solution 9-101

Ex. 9-102 Types of companies that have investments


Consider the financial statements of a publishing house, a reinsurance provider, and a charitable
foundation. What types and proportions of investments would you expect to find on the financial
statements of these companies?

Solution 9-102
A publishing house is unlikely to have a significant portion of investments. Their main activity is selling
publications. If they do business in a foreign currency, they may hold some investments to hedge
foreign exchange risk.

A reinsurance provider will hold a significant proportion of investments as movement in the value of
these investment pools is meant to assist in possible payment of insurance policies. Investments
would be the main asset of these companies.

A charitable foundation is in place solely to finance the objectives of the charity with which it is
affiliated. If it holds investments they are likely in the form of endowments that have been gifted to it
by donors over its lifetime. Charitable foundations are not in the business of actively trading
investments.

Ex. 9-103 Types of companies that have investments


Two types of companies that carry significant amounts of investments are banks and pension plans.
Explain how these companies use their investment holdings to add value for their customers.

Solution 9-103
Banks add value by investing other people’s money and earning a return that is higher than their cost
of capital. Their expertise lies in understanding how and when to buy and sell shares and debt
instruments in order to maximize profits. They often buy and sell shares and debt instruments over
the short term for profit (referred to as trading).

Pension plans collect money from employees and pay out funds as pensions when employees retire.
In order to maximize the payout on retirement, pension plans generally invest the money in the
interim and try to maximize the value of investments.

Ex. 9-107 Investments in debt securities


Presented below are unrelated cases involving investments in debt securities:
Case 1:
A company owns another firm's debt securities in the form of bonds. The bonds were acquired at a
discount and are accounted for under the amortized cost model.
Case 2:
An investment in notes receivable that had been held for several years is being sold. The investment
was accounted for under the amortized cost model.
Case 3:
A portfolio of debt investments has been determined to be impaired.

Instructions
Indicate the accounting required and/or available for each individual case.

Solution 9-107
Case 1: The bonds would have been recognized at their fair value plus transaction costs. The discount
would be amortized to net income over the life of the bond.

Case 2: The accrued interest and discount or premium would have to be updated to the date of
disposal. The resulting gain or loss (difference between carrying value and sales proceeds) would be
recognized in net income and the investment would be removed from the investor's books.

Case 3: Depending on whether ASPE or IFRS is followed, once the investment has been determined to
be impaired, three different models are available to recognize the loss: the incurred loss impairment
model, the expected loss impairment model, and the fair value loss impairment model.

Ex. 9-108 Cost and equity methods


Compare the cost and equity methods of accounting for investments in shares subsequent to
acquisition (when permitted by ASPE).

Solution 9-108
Under the cost method, the investment is originally recorded at fair value plus any direct transaction
costs, i.e., cost. The investment remains at this value unless the investment becomes impaired.
Dividends are reported as income.
Similarly, under the equity method, the investment is originally recorded at cost. Subsequently,
however, the investment account is adjusted for the investor's share of the investee's net income or
loss and this amount is recognized in the net income of the investor. Dividends received from the
investee are recorded as reductions in the investment account.

Ex. 9-115 Significant influence


Describe how to determine if an investment results in significant influence.

Solution 9-115
If the ownership is less than 20%, it is presumed that the investor does not have significant influence.
However, if there is evidence indicating that such influence exists, such as the investor having seats on
the board of directors, then the investment should be accounted for as one with significant influence.
If the ownership is 20% or greater, then it is presumed the investor has significant influence. If the
facts of the situation indicate that there is not significant influence, such as the existence of a larger
shareholder and the investor having no seats on the board of directors, then the investment should be
accounted for as one without significant influence.

Hanuman Corp is a medium-sized corporation that has long dominated their market. With a strong
cash-flow position, they have decided to invest excess cash strategically. In particular, Hanuman
made periodic investments with their main supplier, Shiva. Although Hanuman currently owns 18% of
the common shares of Shiva, it does not yet have significant influence over the operations of this
investee company. Hanuman accounts for its investments in Shiva using IFRS 9 and the fair value
through other comprehensive income model without recycling.

The controller has gathered the following information about relevant transactions and requests your
assistance in preparing required adjusting entries:
1. In 2020, Hanuman acquires shares of Ahimsa Corp and Metta Ltd, for short-term trading
purposes. Hanuman purchased 100,000 shares of Ahimsa for $ 1.2 million and the shares
currently have a fair value of $ 1.4 million. Hanuman’s investment in Metta has not been
profitable: the company acquired 45,000 shares of Metta at $ 20 per share and they currently have
a fair value of $ 634,500.
2. Before 2020, Hanuman had invested $ 22.4 million in Shiva and, at December 31, 2019, the
investment had a fair value of $ 21.3 million. While Hanuman did not sell or purchase any Shiva
shares this year, Hanuman declared and paid a dividend totalling $ 2.2 million on all its common
shares, and reported 2020 net income of $ 13.6 million. Hanuman’s 18% ownership of Shiva has a
December 31, 2020, fair value of $ 21,405,000.

Instructions
a) Prepare the appropriate adjusting entries for Hanuman as at December 31, 2020.
b) Prepare the dividend and adjusting entries for the Shiva investment, assuming that Hanuman’s
18% interest results in significant influence over Shiva’s activities.

PROBLEMS
Pr. 9-120 Transaction costs
Discuss whether transaction costs (fees, commissions, or transfer taxes), directly related to the
acquisition of financial assets initially measured at their fair value should be expensed immediately or
added to the cost of the asset acquired.

Solution
The answer is—it depends. It is logical to capitalize the transaction costs associated with any
investment that is accounted for using a cost-based model because transaction costs are a necessary
cost of acquiring the asset. Alternatively, for assets accounted for using a fair value model, it makes
more sense to expense the transaction costs because the fair value of an asset is its market price.
Regardless of how transaction costs are accounted for at acquisition, they are not included in the fair
value amount at later statement of financial position dates.

Ceres Corporation is considering making a significant long-term investment in Pisces Ltd., a young
and very promising company. Ceres decides to make a smaller investment first, and if Pisces turns out
to be successful, Ceres intends to make an additional investment to reach significant influence. Pisces
has 200,000 shares authorized, and 110,000 shares outstanding.

On January 1, 2020, Pisces issues Ceres 10,000 shares for $ 400,000 in cash (so now there are 120,000
shares outstanding).

Additional information:
1. On November 1, 2020, Pisces declares a total cash dividend of $ 180,000.
2. Pisces reports $ 225,000 net income for 2020. Its stock price on December 31, 2020 is $ 38.
3. On November 1, 2021, Pisces announces a total dividend of $ 270,000 to be paid on January 2,
2022.
4. Pisces reports $ 360,000 net income for 2021. Its stock price on December 31, 2021 is $ 44.
5. On March 15, 2022, Ceres is approached by an investment fund which offers to buy all their Pisces
shares for $ 55 per share, a 25% premium over the current stock price of $ 44. Ceres accepts the
offer and sells the shares on that day.

Instructions
Assuming Ceres uses the fair value through net income model (FV–NI) to account for this investment:
a) Prepare the journal entries in Ceres’s books for the 2020 calendar year.
b) Prepare the journal entries in Ceres’s books for the 2021 calendar year.

On January 1, 2019, Titanic Corp. bought 30,000 shares of the available 100,000 common shares of
Iceberg Inc., a publicly traded firm. This acquisition provided Titanic with significant influence. Titanic
paid $ 700,000 cash for the investment. At the time of the acquisition, Iceberg reported assets of $
2,500,000 and liabilities of $ 1,200,000. Asset values reflected fair market value, except for capital
assets that had a net book value of $ 500,000 and a fair market value of $ 730,000. These assets had a
remaining useful life of five years. For 2019 Iceberg reported net income of $ 400,000 and paid total
cash dividends of $ 100,000.
On May 16, 2020, Titanic sold 15,000 of its shares in Iceberg for $ 425,000. Titanic has no immediate
plans to sell its remaining investment in Iceberg.

Iceberg is actively traded, and stock price information follows:

After this sale, Titanic will no longer have significant influence over Iceberg. As a result, the use of the
equity method will no longer be appropriate. Under ASPE, Titanic can choose the cost or fair value
through net income (FV–NI) model for its remaining investment in Iceberg.

Capricorn Corporation decided to purchase 35% of the outstanding shares of Aquarius Ltd.
Capricorn’s CFO conducted an extensive evaluation of the financial statements of Aquarius and
reported his findings to the board of directors in the following memo:

Dear Board of Directors,


Following your request, I conducted a detailed analysis of Aquarius Ltd. I found out that the liabilities
reported in its books at December 31, 2019 in the amount of $ 20M fairly represent their economic
values. As for the assets, their book value is $ 45M. The company owns an office building in downtown
Toronto where its headquarters are located. The net book value of this building, including the land, is
$ 10M. Aquarius purchased the land for $ 6M some 20 years ago and then constructed the building. I
consulted with real estate experts and currently the fair value of the land is $ 9M and the fair value of
the building is $ 8M. The remaining useful life of the building in Aquarius’s books is 20 years and I find
this estimate realistic.
The firm has developed a patent. According to my analysis, the fair value of the patent is $ 12M. Given
future advances in technology, I expect the value of the patent to decline and become worthless 6
years from now. The patent was developed by the company and all the related costs were recorded as
research and development expenses.
Sincerely,
Jake Connor, CPA

The board of directors of Capricorn Corporation adopted the report by Mr. Connor and on January 1,
2020, purchased 35% of the shares of Aquarius, based on its fair value according to Mr. Connor’s
analysis. After the acquisition of the shares, Capricorn was able to exercise significant influence over
Aquarius.
In 2020, Aquarius reported net income of $ 10M and distributed 40% of it as cash dividends.
In 2021, the earnings of Aquarius doubled compared with 2020. Aquarius distributed 60% of its
income as cash dividends.
On December 31, 2021, Capricorn sold its investment in Aquarius Ltd. for $ 20M.

Instructions
Assuming Capricorn accounts for this investment using the method required under IFRS,
a) Record the initial purchase by Capricorn Corp.
b) Record the entries related to the investment in Aquarius Ltd. for 2020.
c) Record the entries related to the investment in Aquarius Ltd. for 2021.

To record dividend distribution (10M x 40% x 35%)

c) Journal entries for 2021


For recording its share in Aquarius’s net income, the only adjustment to the 2020 calculations is that
income now is 20M and Capricorn’s share is $ 7M, an increase of $ 3.5M compared with 2020. Thus,
investment income increases to 6.23M (2.73 + 3.5).
