I'm Larry Walther this is principles of
[8]
accounting comm chapter 9 in this module
[11]
we are going to look at the available
[13]
for sale security category of
[15]
investments and how to account for those
[17]
okay first of all available for sale
[20]
securities are reported on the balance
[22]
sheet at their fair value the accounting
[25]
is very similar to trading securities
[27]
that we looked at in chapter 6 there's
[30]
an important difference however and that
[31]
is the changes in value in these
[33]
investments rather than going to
[34]
operating income each period go to the
[37]
unique category of income called
[39]
unrealized gains or losses other
[41]
comprehensive income so other
[44]
comprehensive income is now a new term
[46]
it is a unique classification or
[48]
category of comprehensive income it's
[51]
not part of operating income it's a
[53]
separate category or unique
[55]
classification recognize that for
[57]
trading securities the gain or loss or
[59]
changes in value went to operating
[61]
income now we're going to this other
[63]
comprehensive income to reflect the
[65]
changes in value for available-for-sale
[67]
securities recognize that most
[70]
transactions and events make their way
[72]
through the income statement therefore
[74]
the income statement is deemed to be
[75]
all-inclusive
[76]
historically once upon a time many years
[78]
ago accountants viewed income is only
[80]
relating the current operating concept
[82]
transactions and events that were not
[84]
directly related to operations might
[85]
have been charged or credited directly
[87]
to stockholders equity and bypassed the
[89]
income statement entire
[91]
companies have a variety of reporting
[93]
options related to other comprehensive
[95]
income it can be reported in a
[97]
comprehensive income statement this goes
[99]
beyond just the operating income that's
[101]
seen and what you might consider to be
[103]
the normal income statement or other
[105]
comprehensive income can be measured and
[107]
reported in a separate schedule that
[109]
reconciles the company's reported
[111]
operating net income to the total
[113]
comprehensive income of the business
[115]
let's look at an example now this will
[117]
help clarify perhaps a Webster company
[119]
acquired an investment Myriam company
[121]
the intent was not for trading control
[123]
or to exert significant influence it's
[125]
classified as available for sale it was
[128]
purchased for $50,000 we debit the
[130]
investment account available-for-sale
[131]
securities and credit cash on the date
[134]
of acquisition financial statements were
[138]
prepared at the end of the month value
[139]
the investments declined from its $10
[141]
purchase price to $9 a share and here's
[144]
how we're going to do this we're going
[145]
to debit unrealized gain or loss - other
[148]
comprehensive income that's that other
[151]
comprehensive income component charge
[152]
that's going to be offset against our
[154]
stockholders equity and we'll credit the
[156]
investment account available-for-sale
[157]
securities now here is that net income
[160]
is not affected by these temporary
[162]
fluctuations on investments that we're
[164]
holding for up for more than just
[165]
trading purposes and so we're going to
[167]
carve them out into other comprehensive
[169]
income or rather than flowing them
[171]
through our normal operating income
[173]
during the next month the stock jumps up
[175]
three dollars in value so we have a
[177]
fifteen thousand dollar recovery and
[179]
value we're going to debit or increase
[180]
the investment account fifteen thousand
[182]
and we're going to credit this other
[184]
comprehensive income unrealized gain or
[186]
loss account after the three journal
[188]
entries the investment account has been
[190]
changed to be reflecting sixty thousand
[192]
dollars in value that you the initial 50
[194]
thousand - the five thousand write down
[196]
plus the 15 thousand write up
[198]
that equals its market value at the
[200]
balance sheet date and the other
[202]
comprehensive income has an adjusted
[204]
total of ten thousand and credits the
[206]
five thousand debit from month one and
[208]
the fifteen thousand credit from month
[210]
two now the treatment would be the same
[213]
even if the available-for-sale
[214]
securities consist of a portfolio of
[216]
many investments and alternative to
[218]
directly adjusting the
[219]
available-for-sale securities account
[221]
might be to carry evaluation adjustment
[223]
account like the allowance front
[225]
collectible accounts or something like
[226]
that that would offset or increase the
[229]
investment category and my journal
[230]
entries I just debited and credited the
[232]
investment account directly that
[234]
separate valuation account can be added
[236]
or subtracted to dividable for sale
[237]
securities it cost to bring them the
[239]
fair value it provides the same net
[241]
results but it gives additional
[242]
information on what the what the
[244]
relative differences are between cost
[246]
and market value and it's certainly
[248]
useful for tracking tax basis
[250]
information the tax law does not adjust
[252]
investments to fair value at each
[253]
financial statement date as do the
[255]
Financial Accounting rule if we have
[257]
dividend income on this debit cash and
[259]
credit dividend income here this is in
[261]
addition to the recording of the gains
[262]
and losses that flow into OCI the
[264]
dividend income is considered to be
[266]
operating income in this case it might
[268]
be helpful to look at our example on a
[269]
balance sheet here we had the
[271]
available-for-sale securities at the end
[272]
of March valued at forty five thousand
[275]
that was the fifty thousand minus the
[276]
five thousand right now and our
[278]
offsetting debit is shown as a reduction
[280]
from stockholders equity as accumulated
[283]
other comprehensive income or loss if we
[286]
go to the next month we've got our
[288]
available-for-sale securities at sixty
[289]
thousand and our other comprehensive
[291]
income account accumulated is now
[293]
carrying a ten thousand dollar net
[295]
credit balance which increases
[297]
stockholders equity
[298]
so we're reflecting the changes in value
[300]
but we're not impacting the operating
[303]
income through the normal income
[304]
statement it's only considered to be an
[306]
other comprehensive income account
[308]
that's generally regarded as a direct
[310]
adjustment to the equity accounts
