the bell ican today we have topics with us is called mark to market accounting
[23]
m2m marketing m2m accounting is or m2m is done very it's very normal
[29]
or a common thing in finance for stock market so first what is the m2m
[36]
marketing or m2m accounting okay fine see m2m accounting is very simple
[42]
concept which means you know recording the value of the given asset at the
[50]
current market value instead of the historical buying price instead of the
[59]
historical buying price so m2 marketing m2m accounting means you know recording
[65]
the value of the balance sheet assets and liabilities at the current market
[70]
value okay with the aim to provide a fair appraisal of the company's
[80]
financials now let's discuss the m2m that is Mark to marketing accounting
[92]
versus historical accounting
[98]
now see accounting data is historical in nature accounting data is historical
[109]
nature so if an asset is purchased the cost or the cost which is paid to
[114]
acquire the asset along with all the realized cost for bringing the asset to
[118]
its location in the required state can also be added to the purchase cost so
[121]
these cost is then you know depreciated these cost are basically depreciated
[127]
here on your pieces and the net value is reflected in the balance sheet of the
[136]
company so these value is independent of the market value so the market value can
[146]
be it can be higher okay then the then or equal it can be higher or equal to
[154]
the same or even lower than the net depreciated value recorded in the books
[157]
of accounts so accounting does not consider the mark-to-market value then
[161]
the the recorded is carried out the recorded is carried out at the
[167]
historical because of one of the basic accounting principle of prudence the as
[173]
for the principle of accounting are expected to accountants to be cautious
[177]
while recognizing the gains now if we tended to value over asks to the M to M
[182]
we will recognize the unrealized gains in the books further there is no
[189]
specific basis for arriving at the market value in the most of the cases so
[194]
the booking assets at the booking the assets at the book value might end up
[203]
giving up very unrealistic picture to use of the financial statement so these
[209]
are certain exception to the above rules of reflecting assets at the historical
[215]
value on the face of the balance sheet now as for the accounting standard there
[219]
are certain assets which are specifically shown at the market value
[222]
at the end of the accounting period and these rule is more specifically these
[228]
rules are most specifically designed for the financial instrument rather than
[234]
the physical long-term assets like land buildings computer and so on and so
[241]
forth so the reason for marketing these securities to the market value gives us
[246]
a true picture and the value is more relevant as compared to the historical
[252]
value so financial securities are generally volatile in nature and the
[256]
market value is the only true value of these securities especially if these
[260]
assets are classified as available for sale or trading now we will take some of
[270]
the examples here who understand this the first is
[276]
available
[280]
for sale securities now available for sale securities is the most common
[286]
example of the mark-to-market accounting and available for sale asset it is the
[291]
financial security which can either be in the form of debt or equity purchased
[298]
with the intent of selling these securities before it reaches to its
[302]
maturity so in cases of the security which do not have maturity these
[306]
securities will be sold prior you know to our long time period for which you
[315]
know these securities are generally held so any gains or loss from fluctuation in
[321]
the market value of the asset is classified as available for sale will be
[328]
reported okay in the other comprehensive income account in the equity section of
[332]
the balance sheet now the second is called the held for trading example now
[341]
another common example mark to marketing accounting is held for trading asset is
[345]
a financial security which can either be in the form of debt which can be either
[353]
we in the it can be either in the form of debt or equity and is purchased with
[364]
intention of selling the security within a short period of time and which is
[375]
generally less than your thanksful so any gains or losses from the
[380]
fluctuations in the market value of the asset classified as available for
[384]
trading and will be reported as
[390]
unrealized gains or losses on the income statement now we will do the journal
[396]
entry part here first is the available-for-sale securities so in this
[404]
case the value of the asset is written down or increases for the market value
[408]
of the gains or losses above and the equity shares of the value let's say it
[413]
ample equity shares of the value of let's say 10,000 are purchased on 1st of
[419]
September 2016 okay now as on 31st of December 2016 that is the close of D
[430]
financially or 2016 the value of the equity is let's say we here $8,000 so
[440]
assuming that these equity shares are available for sale the security should
[445]
be recorded at the market value and the Mar mark the market value journal entry
[451]
will be loss on securities loss on securities available for sale account
[462]
that is $2,000 to investment available for sale account that is again 2000 so
[475]
in the balance sheet the investment will be shown at a new amount of how much
[489]
10,000 - mm that is 8,000 and the loss will be recorded in the other
[504]
comprehensive income so now assuming that you know the close of the next
[511]
accounting year that is 31st of December
[516]
2017 or 31st of December 2017 is only the market value the market value of
[522]
these equity shares is 11,000 and as compared to the previous year the gain
[532]
is of $3,000 to the market to mark the market accounting journal entry for the
[539]
sale for the same will be investment for available investment
[544]
available for sale that would be 3000 and to credit will be given to gain on
[554]
securities available that is 1002 loss on securities that is 2000 so that's it
[566]
in terms of journal entries now there are there also like helpful trading we
[572]
have for them you know the different sort of accounting is done you know a
[576]
separate accounting account is known as for helpful trading case which is the
[581]
second one held for trading it is known as the security fair value adjustments
[589]
account ok which will be shown on the face of the balance sheet along with the
[597]
security account is created in any increase or decrease okay in the fair
[603]
value is to be adjusted or in this account any fair value is to be just so
[611]
the equity share value of let's say 10000 are purchased on let's say
[616]
first of September 2016 as on 31st December the closer financial year at
[623]
the value of the equity shares is $12,000 so the difference of $2,000 gain is on
[634]
account of the marking the securities to the market and mark to market accounting
[638]
journal entry of the same will be something like this
[641]
security fair value adjustments account debit that is 2002 unrealized gain or
[652]
loss that is 2000 so that's it for this particular topic know
