For example, depreciation of plant assets usually follows policies set by the home office and is not subject to control by the branch manager. This situation suggests that both the branch plant assets records and the related depreciation records should be maintained by the home office.

These two accounts show the same thing the net assets of the branch  from from two different points of view. The Home Office account  the maintained by the branch has a credit balance and may be considered quasi-ownership equity; the Investment in Branch account maintained by the home office has a debit balance and is a noncurrent asset that reflects the net investment in the branch by the home office. Another pair of reciprocal ledger accounts is used to record shipments of merchandise from the home office to the branch when the periodic inventory system is used. In the home office accounting records, the account is Shipments to Branch (a Purchases valuation account) and has a credit balance; in the branch accounting records, the account is Shipments from Home Office (a purchases-type account) and has a debit balance. Reciprocal ledger accounts should be reconciled and brought up to date at the end of each accounting period. The reciprocal accounts are eliminated in the preparation of combined financial statements of the home office and the branch. For a home home office office to bil billl merch merchand andise ise shipm shipment entss to its branches branches at or above above hom homee offi office ce cost is acceptable. If branches are billed at amounts above home office cost, the home office eliminates the excess of billed prices over cost when the account balances of the home office and the branch are combined in the preparation of combined financial statements. To the extent that the merchandise has been sold by the branches before financial statements are prepared, the "excess" will have been realized, and the combined net income will be the same as if the merchandise had been billed at home office cost. Merchandise not sold is valued at cost in the combined balance sheet.

CASES Although the appropriate interpretation of Lewis Hanson's contract with Longo Company probably requires a legal opinion, logic suggests that neither Hanson's view nor the Longo controller's view is appropriate. Absent any provision in Hanson's contract to the contrary, the method used by the branch accountant to measure net income of Santee Branch during its operating phase should be applied to Santee's last operating period. The resultant net loss precludes a bonus to Hanson, but "tinkering" with the measurement of branch net income appears unsupportable with respect to both Hanson's suggestion and the Longo controller's suggestion. Case 4–2 Before deciding on an answer to the case, it is appropriate to consider the following pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board in Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 6 , “Elements of Financial Statements” (CON 6); Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (FAS 5); Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 , “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Assets are probable future economic benefits obtained or controlled by a particular entity as a result of past transactions or events. ( CON 6 , para. 25) Contingencies that might result in gains [contingent assets] usually are not reflected in the accounts since to do so might be to recognize revenue prior to its realization. ( FAS 5, para. 17a) Expenses are outflows or other using up of assets or incurrences of liabilities (or a combination of both) from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or carrying out other activities that constitute the entity's ongoing major or central operations. ( CON 6 , para. 81) Losses are decreases in equity (net assets) from peripheral or incidental transactions of an entity and from all other transactions and other events and circumstances affecting the entity except those that result from expenses or distributions to owners. ( CON 6, para. 83) Case 4–1

Costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets (including goodwill) that are not specifically identifiable, that have indeterminate lives, or that are inherent in a continuing business and related to an entity as a whole, shall be recognized as an expense when incurred. (FAS 142, para. 10) Given the foregoing definitions, there is no support for Fortunato Company's deferral of pre-operating costs incurred for the new branch. Apart from the costs of testing the manufacturing equipment, which may be capitalized as part of the cost of the equipment, all remaining start-up costs should be recognized either as expenses or as losses. Because of the uncertainty as to when, if ever, regulatory agency approval for the branch's production and sale of products will be obtained, the probable criterion for the recognition of an asset is not met. Given such uncertainty, Robert Engle's characterization of the pre-operating costs as contingent assets is appropriate; they are not to be recognized until realized. The costs incurred other than for testing equipment, research, and development, do not qualify as expenses because they do not result from delivering or producing goods. Thus, recognition of such costs as losses appears to be an appropriate course of action for Fortunato Company. Case 4–3 Kevin Carter's dilemma is a difficult one. The cost-benefit aspects of any course of action he selects must be considered. However, the current practice for “plugging” differences between reciprocal ledger accounts of the home office and branches of Oilers, Inc., should be forbidden at once. At the same time, an independent audit of Oilers' financial statements would be prohibitively expensive, given the chaotic state of the accounting records. Adjusting the 14 branches' Home Office ledger account balances to agree with the home office's reciprocal account balances is the least costly alternative; if it is accompanied by strong measures to ensure future monthly reconciliations of the reciprocal account balances, it might suffice. However, Carter might elect to select one of the 14 branches for a detailed analysis of differences between the reciprocal ledger account balances; such a course of action might disclose a pattern of recurring errors common to other branches and facilitate discovery of most, if not all, of the reconciling items. Case 4–4 TO: The Board of Directors, Windsor Company FROM: ___________________________________________, Controller DATE: ________________________ SUBJECT: Separate Financial Statements for Southwark Branch You have asked my opinion as to whether separate financial statements for Southwark Branch may be prepared for its prospective purchaser. My review of professional literature leads me to conclude that the statements may be prepared. In reaching my conclusion, I considered the following: AICPA Professional Standards, Volume 2; Section ET92.04 Definition of financial statements Section AR100.04 Definition of financial statements Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 1, “Objectives of Financial Reporting by Business Enterprises,” par. 6 Most frequently provided financial statements (CON 1)

Case 4–5

© The

156

I have concluded that Southwark Branch is an accounting entity, as described in CON 6 . Based on the references in ET92.04 , AR100.04 , and CON 1, I believe that a statement of assets and liabilities; a statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets; and a statement of cash flows are appropriate for Southwark Branch. Because the branch is a segment of Windsor Company, I do not believe a statement of financial position (balance sheet), an income statement, and a statement of owner's equity are appropriate for it. Thus, the question you raised regarding an equity section of a balance sheet is moot. The statement of assets and liabilities would have total liabilities of Southwark Branch subtracted from its total assets, with a “bottom line” of net assets, which would carry the after-closing balance of the branch's Home Office ledger account. The unrealized intracompany markup above cost in the branch's ending inventory would be disclosed in a note to Southwark Branch's financial statements that describes the intracompany transactions with the home office of Windsor Company in accordance with FAS 57 . Please inform me if I can be of further service. a. Lola Branch should have prepared a journal entry to recognize the $2,640 liability incurred under the installment contract, with related debits to Home Office for the cash price of the equipment ($2,400) and to Discount on Installment Contract Payable for the interest portion of the contract. Monthly payments of $110 should have been applied to reduce the installment contract liability, and an appropriate amount of interest expense applied to reduce the discount by the interest method. The sale of the office equipment required recognition of a $900 loss ($2,400 – $1,500 = $900); an accompanying entry should have recorded the payoff of the balance of the installment contract, $2,090 [$2,640 – ($110 x 5) = $2,090]; the forgiveness of $150 of the unamortized discount on the contract, with the remaining discount recognized as interest expense; and the recognition of a liability to the branch manager for his $440 ($2,090 – $150 – $1,500 = $440) payment of the balance of the installment contract in excess of the $1,500 sales proceeds of the office equipment. b. The home office of Langley, Inc., should have prepared journal entries as follows: (1) Recognize Lola Branch's acquisition of the office equipment with a debit to Office Equipment: Lola Branch and a credit to Investment in Lola Branch, $2,400. (2) Recognize depreciation for five months on the equipment with debits to Depreciation Expense: Lola Branch and credits to Accumulated Depreciation of Office Equipment: Lola Branch, $20 each ($2,400 x 0.10 x 1/12 = $20). (3) Reverse entry (1) when Lola Branch disposed of the office equipment. c. Correcting journal entry, Dec. 31, 2005, in accounting records of Lola Branch: Interest Expense ($240 – $150) 90 Loss on Disposal of Office Equipment 900 Miscellaneous Expense ($110 x 5) 550 Payable to Manager of Lola Branch 440 To record interest expense from installment contract transaction, loss on disposal of equipment, and liability to branch manager for personal funds used to pay off installment contract.
