J.J. Heva Company is an American company that prepares its financial statements under US GAAP. In 2014, the company reported income of $5,000,000 wit stockholders’ equity of $40,000,000 on December 31, 2014. In anticipation of possible adoption of IFRS by the US companies, the management wishes to explore possible impacts of the conversion on the company’s financial statements. You are hired to prepare a reconciliation schedule to convert 2014 income as well as stockholders’ equity on December 31, 2014 from US GAAP basis to IFRS. The following information is provided by the company’s accounting department:

  1. In 2012, the company’s pension plan was amended and consequently created a past service cost of $75,000.   Half of the past service cost was attributable to already vested employees who had an average remaining service life of 15 years, and half of the past service cost was attributable to non-vested employees who, on average, had two more years until vesting. The company has no retired employees.
  2. In 2014, the company entered into a contract to provide engineering services to a long term customer over a 12-month period. The fixed price is $300,000 and the company    estimates with high degree of reliability that the project is 30 percent complete at the end of 2014.
  3. The company publicly announced a restructuring plan in 2014 and created a valid expectation on the part of the employees to be terminated that the company will carry out the restructuring. The estimated cost of restructuring is $500,000. No legal obligation to restructure exists as of December 31, 2014.
  4. Stock options were granted to key officers on January 1, 2014. The grant date fair value per option was $10, and a total of 9,000 options were granted. The options vest in equal installments over three years: one-third in 2013, one-third in 2014, and one-third in 2015. A straight line method is utilized to recognize compensation expense related to stock options.
  5. On January 1, 2013, the company issued $10,000,000 of 5% bonds at par value that matures in five years on December 31, 2017. Costs incurred in issuing the bonds were $500,000. Interest is paid on bonds annually. Assume the effective interest rate is 6.193%.

Make sure your reconciliation statement is accompanied by an adequate explanation and reference for every one of your adjustments. Ignore income taxes.

Fantasy Fashions had used the LIFO method of costing inventories, but at the beginning of 2018 decided to change to the FIFO method. The inventory as reported at the end of 2017 using LIFO would have been $17 million higher using FIFO.

Retained earnings reported at the end of 2016 and 2017 was $237 million and $257 million, respectively (reflecting the LIFO method). Those amounts reflecting the FIFO method would have been $247 million and $269 million, respectively. 2017 net income reported at the end of 2017 was $25 million (LIFO method) but would have been $27 million using FIFO. After changing to FIFO, 2018 net income was $33 million. Dividends of $7 million were paid each year. The tax rate is 40%.
  
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2018 to record the change in accounting principle.
2. In the 2018–2017 comparative income statements, what will be the amounts of net income reported for 2017 and 2018?
3. Prepare the 2018–2017 retained earnings column of the comparative statements of shareholders’ equity.

Please explain what you did

Splat Candies is planning on building a new gumball factory that will have an estimated construction cost of $44 million. One-quarter of the cost of construction will be spent in the first year, with the remainder spent in the second year. During the third year (first year of operation), the gumminess of the gumballs slows down production so that profit of only $8 million is achieved. After that, the net yearly profit is $12 million for 9 years. At the end of the 12-year project life, the factory is shut down and sold as scrap metal for $2 million. Assume MACRS depreciation with a 7 year recovery period, a 9% interest rate and a corporate tax rate of 29%.

(a) Make a table showing cash flow, depreciation charge, taxes paid and after-tax cash flows for the 12 year project life, plus the year after the project ends. Excel is very useful for this.

(b) What is the cumulative net present value of the plant? (Hint: see Towler example 9.4)

(c) Calculate overall after-tax ROI for the project.

(d) Determine the internal rate of return (IRR, which is the same as DCFROR) for the project.
