1. Financial Assets
学习financial assets,我们主要需要掌握:买入资产时怎么确认;持有期间怎么计量;卖的时候如何确认损益。
1.1 Held-to-maturity (HTM)持有至到期投资
持有至到期投资是指我们有意愿且有能力持有至到期的投资。我们最熟悉的HTM是债券,买入时,我们以公允价值计量,买入债券过程中发生的成本也计入账面价值。持有期间,债券是以amortized cost确认,这是显著不同于其他financial asset的地方(fair value确认)。最终卖债券时,损益直接在I/S中确认。
1.2 Fair value through profit or loss(PVPL)
PVPL是指短期内准备卖出的金融资产。PVPL分为两类:一类是交易性金融资产Trading assets,另一类是管理层直接指定为以公允价值计量的资产Designated by management at fair value。PVPL从生到死都是以公允价值计量,公允价值的变动或卖出时的损益直接在I/S确认。有一点需要注意的是,买入资产所发生的交易成本直接计入I/S。
1.3 Available-for-sale
有的金融资产既不能被划为HTM,也不能被化为PVPL,这类资产就叫可供出售金融资产Available-for-sale。买入AFS时以公允价值计量;持有期间,AFS公允价值的变动计入OCI,这一点非常特别,一定要记住。卖出时,买卖价之差全部转入I/S,包括之前OCI积累的unrealiezed gain or losse。
有没有人想过:为什么AFS的公允价值变动是计入OCI而不是I/S呢?
计入AFS的资产是一部分持有目的不是特别清晰的资产,它既不属于明确准备持有至到期的资产,也不属于短期内准备卖掉的资产。对于这部分持有目的不是特别明晰的资产,如果使用公允价值计量,公允价值变动计入I/S,势必会导致I/S的巨大波动,而将AFS公允价值变动计入OCI可以减少其变动对I/S的影响。
Foreign exchange gains and losses
有的公司可能还会有跨国投资,跨国投资资产价值变动分为两部分:一部分是资产本身的价值变动;另一部分是外币转本币时的汇率损益。一般来说,国际准则和美国准则将这两部分收益全部都计入OCI,但有一个例外,那就是IFRS中债券的外汇汇兑损益是计入I/S。平时收到的股息和利息全部计入I/S。
Example:
On 1 January 2011, Baxter Inc. invested 300000 in Cartel Co. debt securities (with a 6% stated rate on par value, payable each 31 December). The par value of the securities was 275000. On 31 Decembe 2011, the fair value of Baxter's investment in Cartel is 350000.
Assume that the market interest rate in effect when the bods were purchased was 4.5%. If the investment is designated as held-to-maturity, the investment is reported at a amortized cost using the effective interest method.
| Interest Payment | Interest Income | Amortization | Amortized Cost |

| 300000 |
1 | 16500 | 13500 | 3000 | 297000 |
2 | 16500 | 13365 | 3135 | 293865 |
3 | 16500 | 13224 | 3276 | 190589 |
(6%*par value of 275000=165000) and (4.5%*carrying value of 300000=13500)
1. How would this investment be reported on the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of shareholders’ equity at 31 December 2011, under either IFRS or US GAAP, if Baxter designated the investment as 1) held-to-maturity, 2) held for trading, 3) available-for-sale, or 4)designated at fair value?
2. How would the gain be recognized if the debt securities were sold on 1 January 2012 for 352000?
3. How would this investment appear on the balance sheet at 31 December 2012?
4. How would the classification and reporting differ if Baxter had invested in Cartel’s equity securities instead of its debt securities?
Solution to 1:
HTM: B/S 账面价值=297000 (由于债券溢价摊销下降3000)
I/S:interest=4.5%*300000=13500
Held-for-trading:与designated at fair value一样
I/S:interest=4.5%*300000=13500
350000-300000=50000(一部分是债券溢价摊销-3000 B/S,另一部分是53000万价值增加,I/S)
AFS:
I/S:interest=4.5%*300000=13500
B/S: 350000-300000=50000(一部分是债券溢价摊销-3000 B/S,另一部分是53000万价值增加,OCI)
Solution to 2:
HTM: Gain=352000-297000=55000
Held-for-trading:与designated at fair value一样
Gain=352000-350000=2000
AFS: Gain=352000--350000=2000再加上OCI中53000转入I/S.
Solution to 3:
HTM: 账面价值为293865.其他记账方式按fair value计量。
Solution to 4:
• 不可能被划分为HTM
• Dividend income would replace interest income and there would be no amortization.
