INVESTMENTS
Learning Objectives • Identify financial assets and financial liabilities.
• State the classifications of financial assets and their initial
and subsequent measurements.
• Explain how fair value is measured.
• Account for investments in equity securities.
Financial instruments • Financial instrument is “any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.” (PAS 32) • Financial instruments include both financial assets and financial liabilities. • Financial instruments include equity instruments of another entity but exclude an entity’s own equity instruments. An entity’s own equity instruments are neither assets nor liabilities, but rather equity. Financial assets A financial asset is any asset that is:
a. Cash;
b. Equity instrument of another entity; or
c. Contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial instruments with another entity under conditions that are potentially favorable. Financial liabilities A financial liability is any liability that is:
a. a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial
asset to another entity; or
b. a contractual obligation to exchange financial instruments
with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable. Initial recognition and Classification
• Financial assets are recognized only
when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basis of classification
Financial assets are classified based on:
1. the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and 2. the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Basis of classification Equity vs. Debt instruments
• Only debt instruments can be classified under the
Amortized Cost or FVOCI (mandatory) measurement categories.
• Equity instruments are measured at FVPL, unless the entity
makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to measure them at FVOCI.
• A debt instrument that is not measured at amortized cost or
at FVOCI is measured at FVPL. Business models Business models Business models Business models Fair Value Measurement • Fair value is “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” (PFRS 13)
• Fair value is based on the market price of the asset in a:
a. principal market; or b. the most advantageous market (in the absence of a principal market)
• The market price used in measuring fair value is not adjusted
for any transaction costs, but is adjusted for any transport costs. Formula 1. Assignment: PROBLEM 6 - FOR CLASSROOM DISCUSSION of Chapter 9 (for submission November 18)
