Short Answer Questions
14. One of the underlying assumptions of the Historical Cost Principle is that a stable unit of
measure (currency) should be used for Financial Reporting. Is this always the case?

The Historical Cost Principle is not very useful when inflation rates are high. As a result of
the eroding purchase power associated with periods of high inflation, many countries have
had to experiment with price-level adjustments. These adjustments often include asset
revaluations to reflect their current values.

,15. X Inc. and Y Inc. are virtually identical companies with identical cost structures and very
similar business practices operating in the same lines of business. X Inc. is a public company
based in Canada and follows IFRS while Y Inc. is a private enterprise based in Canada and
follows ASPE. The following were the condensed income statements for both companies for
the last year before both adopted IFRS.




X Inc. Y Inc.
Sales: $1,000,000 $2,000,000
Less:
Cost of Goods Sold $500,000 $1,600,000
Gross Margin $500,000 $400,000
Administrative Expenses $200,000 $300,000

Net Income: $300,000 $100,000


Required:

Given the information provided, what are some possible causes for the differing results of
these companies?

There could be many possible explanations for these differing results. Y Inc.'s net income is
$100,000, compared to X Inc.'s $300,000. Conversely, Y Inc.'s sales are twice those of X Inc.
What is particularly noteworthy is Y Inc.'s 20% gross margin compared to X Inc.'s 50% gross
margin. This could be due to the accelerated depreciation on Y Inc.'s property, plant and
equipment or provisions made for future maintenance costs.
Smoothing practices may have been applied to reduce Y Inc.'s income, and of course, its tax
liability. Y Inc.'s income may have been further reduced by higher estimates (for example:
bad debt expense, warranty costs and so forth) which are not necessarily be indicative of
economic conditions.
Note: Once again, the above analysis is not necessarily exhaustive. Students may be able to
identify other valid differences.

,16. Briefly discuss the external users need for high quality financial information.

External users require high quality financial information to enable them to assess the
likelihood of making a reasonable return with an acceptable level of risk. It is important that
the quality of the financial statements provide useful and reliable information to assess the
prospects of future cash flows or future earnings.
The users want the information to faithfully represent what has happened during the past
period. Distorting the real situation by using accounting methods that do not match the actual
situation or managing earnings to recognize revenue earlier or delay reporting expenses to a
later period are not a faithful representation of the actual situation. The result is the external
users are not able to make appropriate decisions as to whether to increase, decrease, or
maintain their level of participation with the reporting entity in their capacity as investor,
creditor, supplier, and/or customer.

17. What disclosure requirements must be met when a Canadian company adopts IFRS for the
first time?

1. The company must reconcile its equity reported under the previous GAAP to its equity in
accordance with IFRS for both the date of transition to IFRS and the end of the latest period
reported under the previous GAAP.
2. The company must reconcile its total comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS to
that reported in the latest statements prepared under the previous GAAP.
3. The company must provide sufficient detail to enable users to understand the material
adjustments to the statement of financial position, the statement of comprehensive income and
the statement of cash flows.
