3.5 FINANCIAL ASSETS and LIABILITIES Definitions 1. Financial Assets Include Cash, Equity Instruments of Other Entities
128 SU 3: Financial Accounting I 3.5 FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Definitions 1. Financial assets include cash, equity instruments of other entities (e.g., preference shares), contract rights to receive cash or other financial assets from other entities (e.g., accounts receivable), etc. 2. Financial liabilities include obligations to deliver cash or another financial asset (e.g., bonds or accounts payable), obligations to exchange financial instruments under potentially unfavorable conditions (e.g., written options), etc. Initial Recognition 3. A financial asset or liability is initially recognized only when the entity is a party to the contract. Thus, contract rights and obligations under derivatives are recognized as assets and liabilities, respectively. a. A firm commitment to buy or sell goods or services ordinarily does not result in recognition until at least one party has performed. 1) However, certain contracts to buy or sell a nonfinancial item may result in recognition of an asset or liability. a) For example, a firm commitment to buy a commodity in the future that (1) can be settled in cash and (2) is not held for the purpose of receiving the commodity is treated as a financial instrument. Accordingly, its net fair value is recognized at the commitment date. b) If an unrecognized firm commitment is hedged in a fair value hedge,a change in its net fair value related to the hedged risk is recognized as an asset or liability. 4. An issuer of a financial guarantee initially recognizes a liability and measures it at fair value. Subsequent measurement is at the greater of (a) the amount based on accounting for provisions or (b) the amortized amount. -

Calculating Interest Rates
Calculating interest rates A reading prepared by Pamela Peterson Drake O U T L I N E 1. Introduction 2. Annual percentage rate 3. Effective annual rate 1. Introduction The basis of the time value of money is that an investor is compensated for the time value of money and risk. Situations arise often in which we wish to determine the interest rate that is implied from an advertised, or stated rate. There are also cases in which we wish to determine the rate of interest implied from a set of payments in a loan arrangement. 2. The annual percentage rate A common problem in finance is comparing alternative financing or investment opportunities when the interest rates are specified in a way that makes it difficult to compare terms. One lending source 1 may offer terms that specify 9 /4 percent annual interest with interest compounded annually, whereas another lending source may offer terms of 9 percent interest with interest compounded continuously. How do you begin to compare these rates to determine which is a lower cost of borrowing? Ideally, we would like to translate these interest rates into some comparable form. One obvious way to represent rates stated in various time intervals on a common basis is to express them in the same unit of time -- so we annualize them. The annualized rate is the product of the stated rate of interest per compounding period and the number of compounding periods in a year. Let i be the rate of interest per period and let n be the number of compounding periods in a year. -
90 Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash
Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and resale agreements and interest-bearing deposits at other banks. Cash paid for interest for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $4.0 billion, $4.5 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $1.2 billion, $1.5 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. Securities Available for Sale The Company considers the nature of investments in securities in order to determine the appropriate classification and currently treat investments in debt securities as securities available for sale. These securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of cumulative other comprehensive income. The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices, or if quoted market prices are not available, then the fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for similar securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses, using observable market data where available. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization or accretion is included in interest income. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method. The Company evaluates its unrealized loss positions for impairment in accordance with SFAS 115, as amended by FSP No. 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments and EITF 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets and FSP EITF 99-20. -

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Understanding the Basics Introduction
www.pwc.com/ifrs9 IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Understanding the basics Introduction Revenue isn’t the only new IFRS to worry about for 2018—there is IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, to consider as well. Contrary to widespread belief, IFRS 9 affects more than just financial institutions. Any entity could have significant changes to its financial reporting as the result of this standard. That is certain to be the case for those with long-term loans, equity investments, or any non- vanilla financial assets. It might even be the case for those only holding short- term receivables. It all depends. Possible consequences of IFRS 9 include: • More income statement volatility. IFRS 9 raises the risk that more assets will have to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss as they arise. • Earlier recognition of impairment losses on receivables and loans, including trade receivables. Entities will have to start providing for possible future credit losses in the very first reporting period a loan goes on the books – even if it is highly likely that the asset will be fully collectible. • Significant new disclosure requirements—the more significantly impacted may need new systems and processes to collect the necessary data. IFRS 9 also includes significant new hedging requirements, which we address in a separate publication – Practical guide – General hedge accounting. With careful planning, the changes that IFRS 9 introduces might provide a great opportunity for balance sheet optimization, or enhanced efficiency of the reporting process and cost savings. Left too long, they could lead to some nasty surprises. -
Accounting & Reporting of Financial Instruments 2016
Accounting & Reporting of Financial Instruments 2016 Illustration 1 (Exchange of Financial Liability at Unfavorable terms) A company borrowed `50 lacs @ 12% p.a. Tenure of the loan is 10 years. Interest is payable every year and the principal is repayable at the end of 10th year. The company defaulted in payment of interest for the year 4, 5 and 6. A loan reschedule agreement took place at the end of 7 year. As per the agreement the company is required to pay `90 lacs at the end of 8th year. Calculate the additional amount to be paid on account of rescheduling and also the book value of loan at the end of 8th year when reschedule agreement took place. Solution Assumption: Interest is compounded in case of default. Outstanding Amount at the end of 8th year = `50,00,000 x 1.12 x 1.12 x 1.12 x 1.12 x 1.12 = `88,11,708 (i.e. adding interest for 4th to 8th year) Rescheduled amount to be paid at the end of the 8th year = `90,00,000 Additional amount to be paid on rescheduling = `90,00,000 - `88,11,708 = `1,88,292. Illustration 2 Entity A holds an option to purchase equity shares in a listed entity B for `100 per share at the end of a 90 day period. Evaluate the contract whether a financial asset or a financial liability? What if the entity A has written the option? Solution The above call option gives entity A, a contractual right to exchange cash of `100 for an equity share in another entity and will be exercised if the market value of the share exceeds `100 at the end of the 90 day period. -

Credit Default Swap in a financial portfolio: angel or devil? A study of the diversification effect of CDS during 2005-2010 Authors: Aliaksandra Vashkevich Hu DongWei Supervisor: Catherine Lions Student Umeå School of Business Spring semester 2010 Master thesis, one-year, 15 hp ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We would like to express our deep gratitude and appreciation to our supervisor Catherine Lions. Your valuable guidance and suggestions have helped us enormously in finalizing this thesis. We would also like to thank Rene Wiedner from Thomson Reuters who provided us with an access to Reuters 3000 Xtra database without which we would not be able to conduct this research. Furthermore, we would like to thank our families for all the love, support and understanding they gave us during the time of writing this thesis. Aliaksandra Vashkevich……………………………………………………Hu Dong Wei Umeå, May 2010 ii SUMMARY Credit derivative market has experienced an exponential growth during the last 10 years with credit default swap (CDS) as an undoubted leader within this group. CDS contract is a bilateral agreement where the seller of the financial instrument provides the buyer the right to get reimbursed in case of the default in exchange for a continuous payment expressed as a CDS spread multiplied by the notional amount of the underlying debt. Originally invented to transfer the credit risk from the risk-averse investor to that one who is more prone to take on an additional risk, recently the instrument has been actively employed by the speculators betting on the financial health of the underlying obligation. It is believed that CDS contributed to the recent turmoil on financial markets and served as a weapon of mass destruction exaggerating the systematic risk. -

Guaranteed Home Loan Program March 21, 2018 USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Home Loan Program Requires Itemization of Loan Discount Points and Origination Fees USDA Rural Development’s guaranteed home loan program requires that loan discount points and loan origination fees be itemized separately on the settlement statement so the amount of the loan used for loan discount points can be accurately identified. Also, loan discount points, other than to reduce the effective interest rate, cannot be financed as part of the loan. Discount points must be reasonable and customary for the area and cannot be more than those charged other applicants for comparable transactions. Permissible discount points financed may not exceed two percentage points of the loan amount for a non-streamlined refinance. Loan discount points representing fees other than to reduce the effective interest rate, such as to compensate for a low credit score or low loan amount, are ineligible loan purposes. Lenders must begin with an eligible interest rate prior to reducing the effective interest rate. Last year 2,100 rural Iowa families and individuals purchased homes by accessing more than $230 million in USDA Rural Development guaranteed loans. Please call (515) 284-4667, email [email protected] or visit www.rd.usda.gov/ia for more information.
