Chapter 3
Solutions
Exercise 3.1
- Income from continuing operations = Income from operations + Gain on sale of FNVI investments − Income tax on income from continuing operations = $125,000 + $1,500 − $34,155* = $92,345
* (125,000 + 1,500) × 27% = 34,155
Net income = Income from continuing operations – Loss from operation of discontinued division (net of tax) – Loss from disposal of discontinued division (net of tax) = $92,345 − $2,500 − $3,500 = $86,345
Other comprehensive income = Unrealized holding gain − OCI (net of tax) = $12,000
Total comprehensive income = Net income + other comprehensive income = $86,345 + $12,000 = $98,345 - Under ASPE, other comprehensive income and comprehensive income do not apply.
Exercise 3.2
Quality of Earnings: In terms of earnings quality, there are issues. The company’s net income includes a significant gain on sale of idle assets, which means that a sizeable portion of earnings were not generated from ongoing core business activities. Wozzie also changed their inventory policy from FIFO to weighted average, which is contrary to the method used within their industry sector. This is cause for concern as it raises questions about whether management is purposely trying to manipulate income. A change in accounting policy is only allowed as a result of changes in a primary source of GAAP or may be applied voluntarily by management to enhance the relevance and reliability of information contained in the financial statements for IFRS. Unless Wozzie’s inventory pricing is better reflected by the weighted average method, contrary to the other companies in their industry sector, the measurement of inventory and cost of goods sold may be biased.
Investing in the Company: Investors and analysts will review the financial statements and see that part of the company’s net income results from a significant gain generated from non-core business activities (the sale of idle assets) and will also detect the lower cost of goods sold resulting from the change in inventory pricing policy disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. As a result, investors will assess the earnings reported as lower quality, and the capital markets will discount the earnings reported to compensate for the biased information. Had Wozzie not fully disclosed the accounting policy change for inventory, the market may have taken a bit longer to discount that portion of the company’s net income due to lower quality information.
Exercise 3.3
Eastern Cycles’ sale of the corporate-owned stores to a franchisee would not qualify for discontinued operations treatment because the corporate-owned stores are not a separate major line of business. Under IFRS, a component of an entity comprises operations, cash flows, and financial elements that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the enterprise, which is not the case as stated in the question information.
Under ASPE, selling the corporate-owned stores would also not qualify for discontinued operations treatment. The corporate-owned stores are likely a component of the company, but the franchisor is still involved with the franchisees because Eastern Cycles continues to provide product to them as well as advertising, training, and support. The cash flows of Eastern Cycles (the franchisor) are still affected by those of the franchisee since Eastern Cycles collects monthly fees based on revenues.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2020Income from continuing operations $1,500,000 Discontinued operations Loss from operation of discontinued Calgary division (net of tax of $52,500) $(122,500) Loss from disposal of Calgary division (net of tax of $37,500) (87,500) (210,000) Net income 1,290,000 Other comprehensive income Items that may be reclassified subsequently to net income or loss: Unrealized gain on FVOCI incestments (net of tax of $11,786[2]) 27,500 Total comprehensive income $1,317,500 Earnings per share Income from continuing operations[3] $30.00 Discontinued operations (4.20) Net income $25.80 Required disclosures: Items reported at their net of tax amounts must also disclose the tax amount. Earnings per share information related to income from continuing operations and discontinued operations are required under IFRS but earnings per share information related to comprehensive income are not required under IFRS.
- Had Patsy followed ASPE, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income do not apply. Investments that are not quoted in an active market are accounted for at cost. This also assumes that the discontinued operations meet the definition of a discontinued operation under ASPE.
Exercise 3.6
Calculation of increase or (decrease) in shareholders’ equity:
| Increase in assets: | $41,670 + $15,800 + $218,400 - $46,500 + 14,000 = | $243,370 |
| Increase in liabilities: | ($23,400) + 45,200 + $46,500 = | 68,300 |
| Increase in shareholders' equity: | $175,070 |
Breakdown of shareholders’ equity account:
| Net increase | $175,070 | |
| Increase in common shares | $87,000 | |
| Increase in contributed surplus | 18,600 | |
| Decrease in retained earnings due to dividend declaration | (44,000) | 61,600 |
| Increase in retained earnings due to net income | $113,470 |
To solve algebraically use the basic accounting equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Restated:
Change in assets = change in liabilities + change in equity
243,370 = 68,300 + X(equity)
X = 243,370 − 68,300 = $175,070 change in equity
Since equity is made up of common shares + contributed surplus + retained earnings = $175,070 then:
Change in equity − change in common shares − change in contributed surplus+dividends = change in retained earnings due to net income
175,070 − 87,000 − 18,600 + 44,000 = $113,470
Exercise 3.7
($575,000 − $75,000) ÷ 66,000 = $7.58 per share

These are revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that are not realized or incurred as part of ongoing operations (for a retail business in this case). Examples of items that do not normally recur in a retail business are:
- Dividend revenue (from investments)
- Gain or loss on sale or disposal of current or long-term assets (i.e., investments, property, plant, equipment, and certain intangible assets such as patents and copyrights)
- Interest income or expense from receivables or investments
- Impairment losses on various assets not recorded through OCI
- Loss from fire, flood, and storm damages in areas not known for this activity
- Loss on inventory due to decline in NRV
- Rent revenue or other revenues not normally associated with the usual business of the company
- Unrealized gains or losses on investments not recorded to OCI
Note that as a rule, if the item is unusual and material, (consider size, nature, and frequency), the item is presented separately but included in income from continuing operations. If the item is unusual but immaterial, the item is combined with other items in income from continuing operations. So, there is a trade-off between additional disclosures of relevant information and too much disclosure resulting in information overload. Moreover, IFRS and ASPE reporting requirements vary and the standards change over time, so different items may need to be separately reported in one standard but not necessarily in the other standard. It is important to check the standards periodically to ensure that the latest reporting requirements are known.
