Explanation of Solution
The following are the two measurement focuses used by public or non-profit organization:
Flow of current financial resources:
In this type of measurement focus, organization takes only cash or cash equivalents into account. This measurement focus helps an organization to assess that whether the cash or cash equivalent are enough for the claims made against the funds during the particular accounting period.
Flow of economic financial resources:
This is another type of measurement focus which focuses on all the assets that an organization owns. It considers all the assets and liabilities during the particular accounting period.
Basis of accounting:
There are two ways on the basis of accounting can be done. Firstly, on accrual basis and secondly on modified accrual basis of accounting.
As per first accounting basis, the revenues and expenses are recorded when they are earned and incurred respectively whereas under modified accrual basis of accounting, the revenue and expenses are recoded when they become measurable.
The importance of such accounting basis helps an organization to report its financial information to all its beneficiaries. The other benefits of measurement focuses and accounting basis are as follows:
- It ensures operational efficiency.
- Compliance with accounting rules and laws.
- Accurate financial information.
- Proper maintenance of assets.

- On December 31, 2018, Blackpink Company, a financing institution lent ₱15,000,000 to YG Corp. due 3 years after. The loan is supported by an 12% note receivable. Based on the company’s initial estimates the present value of the 12 months expected credit loss (ECL) discounted at 10% is at 2,000,000. The probability of default (PD) is at 7%. Blackpink Company was able to collect interest as it became due at the end of 2019. There was no evidence of significant increase in credit risk by the end 2019 and that the receivable is determined to have “low credit risk”. There were no changes in its initial estimate of the 12 months expected credit loss either. By the end of 2020, Blackpink Company was able to collect interest as it became due. Based on available forward-looking information (determinable without undue cost or effort), however, there is evidence that there was a significant increase in credit risk by the end of 2020. Blackpink Company therefore had to change its basis…arrow_forwardOn December 31, 2018, Blackpink Company, a financing institution lent ₱15,000,000 to YG Corp. due 3 years after.
