    ACCOUNTING AND THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY

    IFRS questions are available at the end of this chapter.

    TRUE-FALSE—Conceptual

    1. The time value of money refers to the fact that a dollar received today is worth less than a dollar promised at some time in the future.

    2. Interest is the excess cash received or repaid over and above the amount lent or borrowed.

    3. Simple interest is computed on principal and on any interest earned that has not been withdrawn.

    4. Compound interest, rather than simple interest, must be used to properly evaluate long- term investment proposals.

    5. Compound interest uses the accumulated balance at each year end to compute interest in the succeeding year.

  • 6. The future value of an ordinary annuity table is used when payments are invested at the beginning of each period.

    7. The present value of an annuity due table is used when payments are made at the end of each period.

    8. If the compounding period is less than one year, the annual interest rate must be converted to the compounding period interest rate by dividing the annual rate by the number of compounding periods per year.

    9. Present value is the value now of a future sum or sums discounted assuming compound interest.

    10. The future value of a single sum is determined by multiplying the future value factor by its present value.

    11. In determining present value, a company moves backward in time using a process of accumulation.

    12. The unknown present value is always a larger amount than the known future value because dollars received currently are worth more than dollars to be received in the future.

    13. The rents that comprise an annuity due earn no interest during the period in which they are originally deposited.

    14. If two annuities have the same number of rents with the same dollar amount, but one is an annuity due and one is an ordinary annuity, the future value of the annuity due will be greater than the future value of the ordinary annuity.

    15. If two annuities have the same number of rents with the same dollar amount, but one is an annuity due and one is an ordinary annuity, the present value of the annuity due will be greater than the present value of the ordinary annuity.

    16. The number of compounding periods will always be one less than the number of rents when computing the future value of an ordinary annuity.

    17. The future value of an annuity due factor is found by multiplying the future value of an ordinary annuity factor by 1 minus the interest rate.

    18. The present value of an ordinary annuity is the present value of a series of equal rents withdrawn at equal intervals.

    19. The future value of a deferred annuity is less than the future value of an annuity not deferred.

  • 4. Barton Company, a company who maintains its accounting records using IFRS, manufactures furniture. Barton sells a $75,000 order to Save-A Lot Furniture in exchange for a zero-interest-bearing note due from the customer in two years. Since there is no stated interest rate on the note, the controller uses the current market rate of 8% to derive the present value factor. Based on this information and the incorporation of the time value of money, which of the following would be recorded by Barton to recognize this sale?a. A credit to Discount on Notes Receivable for $10,699.b. A credit to Sales Revenue for $75,000.c. A debit to Notes Receivable for $64,301.d. A debit to Discount on Notes Receivable for $6,000.

  • 6. Reegan Company owns a trade name that was purchased in an acquisition of Hamilton Company. The trade name has a book value of $3,500,000, but according to GAAP, it is assessed for impairment on an annual basis. To perform this impairment test, Reegan must estimate the fair value of the trade name. It has developed the following cash flow estimates related to the trade name based on internal information. Each cash flow estimate reflects Reegan's estimate of annual cash flows over the next 7 years. The trade name is assumed to have no residual value after the 7 years. (Assume the cash flows occur at the end of each year.)

There is a 70% chance that the lease will not be renewed and the cleanup will cost $180,000. There is 30% chance that the lease will be renewed and the cleanup costs will be $375,000 at the end of the 20 years. If you assume that these estimates are derived from best estimates of likely outcomes and the risk-free rate is 5%, the expected present value of the cleanup provision is:a. $238,500b. $112,562c. $277,500d. $226,575
