Study Notes

Time Value of Money

The future value of an ordinary annuity represents the total value of a series of constant cash flows at a future date, calculated using the formula for future value of an annuity.
The present value of a single amount is the current value of a future cash flow, calculated by discounting the future amount using an interest rate.

Compound Interest

Compound interest is the interest earned on both the principal amount and any accrued interest, resulting in exponential growth over time.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

When selling property, plant, and equipment for cash, the seller recognizes a gain or loss on disposal, calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset.
The allocation base of an asset refers to the total amount of expense or cost to be allocated over the asset's useful life.
Recognition of impairment for property, plant, and equipment is required when the carrying value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, and the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.

Depreciation

A change from the straight-line method to the double declining-balance method of depreciation is handled prospectively, without restating prior periods.

Annuity Due

The future value of an annuity due represents the total value of a series of constant cash flows at a future date, with the first cash flow occurring immediately.

Intangible Assets

Amortization for intangible assets used in the manufacture of a product falls under the cost category of manufacturing overhead.
The purpose of testing intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment is to determine if the carrying value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, and if so, to write down the asset to its recoverable amount.

Notes Payable

The initial treatment of the difference between the face amount of a noninterest-bearing note payable and the note's present value is to recognize the difference as interest expense over the life of the note.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess value of a business over the net value of its identifiable assets and liabilities, and is recognized as an asset in the context of company valuation.

Interest

Compound interest is a type of interest that includes interest earned on interest, resulting in exponential growth over time.
