Chapter 12, Problem 12.27Q
(Based on Appendix 12B) Reporting an investment at its fair value requires adjusting its carrying amount for changes in fair value after its acquisition (or since the last reporting date if it was held at that time). Such changes are called unrealized holding gains and losses because they haven’t yet been realized through the sale of the security. If a security is classified as available-for-sale, and an unrealized holding loss is viewed as giving rise to an other-than-temporary (OTT) impairment, how is it reported in the financial statements?

Reporting an investment at its fair value means adjusting its carrying amount for changes in fair value after its acquisition (or since the last reporting date if it was held at that time). Such changes are called unrealized holding gains and losses because they haven’t yet been realized through the sale of the security.

When using the fair value method, we adjust the reported amount of the investment for changes
in fair value after its acquisition. If the security is classified as available-for-sale, how do we
report unrealized holding gains and losses?

- How are derivatives valued on the balance sheet? How is the adjustment to fair value recorded differently for a cash flow hedge versus a fair value hedge? That is, how does the fair value adjustment of each type of hedge affect current period net income and the accounting equation? What are the three criteria that must be met for a derivative to be classified as a hedge? Once entities decide to buy or sell derivatives to hedge economic risks, they then need to decide whether they want to use hedge accounting; it is an election, not a requirement, even when the derivatives are for the economic purpose of hedging. This election is reminiscent of inventory accounting. Just like when a company selects an inventory method, a company is not required to select the accounting method (LIFO, FIFO, weighted average, specific unit) that most closely corresponds with the physical movement of inventory, although they are free to do so. If entities decide to elect hedge accounting, the following…arrow_forwardThe cost of a nonmonetary asset acquired in exchange for another nonmonetary asset when the exchange has commercial substance is usually recorded at A) either the fair value of the asset given up or the asset received, whichever one results in the largest gain (smallest loss) to the company.
