Statement of Affairs
Typical financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which means that assets are
maintained at historical cost and expenses are expirations of historical costs. Corporation that faces
bankruptcy or liquidation is quitting concern, not a going concern. Consequently, statement of financial
position, which reports the financial position of a going concern, is inappropriate for a corporate
liquidation.
The financial statement designed for an insolvent corporation is the statement of affairs. It is a statement
of financial condition as of a given date presenting the assets and liabilities of a corporation from a
liquidation viewpoint. Assets are carried at fair values and assets and liabilities are presented according
to priorities. Accompanying statement of affairs is a statement of realization and liquidation. This
statement shows gains or losses on realization of additional assets and a list of additional costs
associated with the liquidation.
A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control.
(a) The parties are bound by a contractual arrangement. An enforceable contractual arrangement is
often, but not always in writing, usually in the form of contract between the parties. Joint
arrangements may be structured though a separate vehicle. When joint arrangements are
structured through a separate vehicle, the contractual arrangements will in some cases be
incorporated in the articles or by-laws of the separate vehicle.
(b) The contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the
arrangement.
Separate vehicle – is a separately identifiable financial structure, including separate legal entities or
entities recognized by statute, regardless of whether those entities have a legal personality. This maybe
in the form of partnership or corporation.
Joint control – is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when
decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
JOINT OPERATION
- A joint arrangement whereby parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to
the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Those parties are
called joint operators. To manage the activities of the joint arrangement, joint operators may
appoint an operator or manager, who will be an employee of the joint operators.
JOINT VENTURE
- A joint arrangement whereby parties have joint control of the arrangement have right to the net
assets of the arrangement. Those parties are called joint venturers. This type is usually
structured through a separate vehicle ( a partnership or corporation).
- A joint arrangement in which the assets and liabilities relating to the arrangement are held in a
separate vehicle can be either a joint venture or joint operation. A joint arrangement that is not
structured through a separate vehicle is a joint operation.
ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES
Joint Operations
(a) Its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
(b) Its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
(c) Its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
(d) Its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation;
(e) Its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
When a joint operator sold or contributed assets to the joint operation, the joint operator shall recognize
gains and losses resulting from such transaction only to the extent of the other parties’ interest in the
joint operation. If such transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realizable value of the
assets to be sold or contributed to the joint operation, or of an impairment loss of those assets, those
losses shall be recognized full by the joint operator.
When a joint operator purchases assets from the joint operation, it shall recognize its share of the gains
and losses until it resells those assets to outsiders. When such transactions provide evidence of the
reduction of net realizable value of the assets to be purchased or of an impairment loss of those assets, a
joint operator shall recognize its share of those losses.
Joint ventures
A joint venture shall recognize its interest in a joint venture as an investment and shall account for the
investment using equity method.
Under the equity method, on initial recognition the investment in joint venture is recognized at cost, and
the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the venturer’s share of the profit or loss of
the joint arrangement after the date of acquisition. Distributions received from the joint arrangement
reduce the carrying amount of the investment. The venturer’s share of the profit or loss is recognized in
the venturer’s profit or loss.

Section 15 0f IFRS for SMEs defines joint venture as contractual arrangements whereby two or
more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control joint ventures can take the
form of jointly controlled operations, jointly controlled assets or joint controlled entities.
The above definition is different from the definition provided in IFRS 11(joint arrangements) and IRFS
(Investment in associates and joint ventures). However, they share the following characteristics:
ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES
Jointly Controlled Operations
The operation of this type involves the use of the asset and other resources of the parties (venturer)
rather than the establishment for a corporation, partnership or the other entity, or a financial structure
that is separate from the parties themselves. Each party uses its own property, plant and equipment and
carries its own inventories. It also incurs its own expenses and liabilities and raises its own finance, which
represents its own obligations. The activities may be carried out by a manager, who is an employee of
the parties. The agreement usually provides a means by which the revenue expenses incurred in
common are shared among the parties.
This type involves the joint control, and often the joint ownership, by the parties (venturers) of one or
more assets contributed to, or acquired for the purpose of, the joint venture and dedicated to the
purposes of the joint venture.
A jointly controlled entity is a joint venture that involves the establishment of a corporation, partnership
or other entity in which each venturer has an interest. The entity operates in the same way as other
entities, except that a contractual arrangement between the venturers establishes joint control over the
economic activity of the entity.
This is similar to the joint venture type of joint arrangements under IFRS 11.
Measurement
Section 15(Investment in Joint ventures of the IFRS for SMEs requires an entity to choose one of the
following three models to account for its investment in joint ventures:
• Cost Model- the investment in a joint venture is measured at cost (including transaction costs)
less any accumulated impairment losses. However, an investor using the cost model is required
to use the fair value model for any investment in a joint venture for which a published price
quotation exists. The investor shall recognize distributions received from the investment as
income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the jointly
controlled entity raising before or after the date acquisition.
• Equity Method- the investments is a joint venture is initially recognized at the transaction price
(including transaction cost) and adjusted threreafter for the post-acquisition change in the
investor’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture.
• Fair Value Model- the investment in joint venture is initially recognized at the transaction price
(excluding transaction costs). After initial recognition, at reporting date, the investment in joint
venture is measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. However,
an investor using the fair value model is required to usethe cost model for any investment in the
joint venture for which it is impractical to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or
effort.
Cost of Acquisition
The cost of acquisition in exchange for the control of the acquiree includes the fair value of assets given,
liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued by the acquirer, plus any directly
attributable costs.
When a venturer contributes or sells assets to a joint venture, recognition of any portion of a gain or loss
from the transaction shall reflect the substance of the transaction. While the assets are retained by the
joint venture and provided the venturer has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership,
the venturer shall recognize only that portion of the gain or loss is attributable to the interest of the
other venturers. The venturer shall recognize the full amount of any loss when the contribution or sale
provides evidence when the contribution or sale provides evidence of an impairment loss.
When a venturer purchases assets from joint venture, the venturer shall not recognize its share of the
profits of the joint venture from the transaction until it resells the assets to an independent party. A
venturer shall recognize its share of the losses resulting from these transactions in the same way as
profits except that losses shall be recognized immediately when they represent an impairment loss.
The above principles are similar to the principles of accounting for Joint Operation type of Joint
Arrangement (IFRS 11).

Installment sales problems have appeared very often in the CPA exam. Therefore, candidates should be
familiar with the accounting techniques applicable to this topic.
When a sale is made on the installment basis, the buyer usually makes a down payment and promises to
pay the balance in regular installments over a specified period of time. Profit on installments sales is
recognized only when earned. Although there are several theoretical points at which the profit can be
assumed to be earned, for CPA examinations purposes, the choice is generally limited to the installment
method.
Installment Method
Under this method, income recognized only when collections are made. Problems requiring the use of
the installment method of recognizing income have appeared quite regularly in the CPA exam. The
following are the typical problems often encountered in the CPA exam.:
To compute the realize gross profit in proportion to the collections made, it is necessary to determine
the gross profit rate for each year’s operations. The following are the formulas in computing gross profit
rate:
Prior sales:
Gross profit sales= Defered gross sales (Beg.) – Prior Year Sales / Installment account Receivables (beg.)-
Prior year sales
Realized Gross Profit= Collections (excluding interest) x Gross profit rate (based on sale)
Missing factors. Inasmuch as the realized gross profit under the installment method depend on the cash
collections on receivables, it is important that the amounts collected must be known. However, in some
problems, the collections are not specifically stated. Such collections must be reconstructed from related
information available from the data given. The candidate should remember the following format in
computing the collections.
To compute the balance of Deferred Gross profit at the end of the year, the following formula may be
used:
Or
______
If a customer does not make an installment payment at the specified time, it is necessary to repossess
the merchandise in order for the seller to minimize his loss.
The fair value is repossessed merchandise at the time of repossession should be before reconditioning
cost and before adding a normal gross profit from sale of repossessed merchandise.
Trade In
This is a type of installment sale use by car dealers, whereby an old car is received as down paymnent
from the buyer for sale of the new car. Usually the old car traded-in is overvalued to induce the trade-in.
for problem solving purposes the overevaluation is computed using the formula below:
The overallowance is treated as deduction from the selling price of the new ca. when there is
overallowance on the old car traded-in, the gross profit rate is computed as follows:

Solution:
The principal problem to be encountered by CPA candidates on this topic is the computation of the gross
profit to be recognize each year.
The procedures and principles used in solving this problem is based on Philippine Accounting Standard
(PAS) 11 “Construction Contract”
The gross profit on construction project may be recognized upon its completion or each year as the
construction progresses. These two alternative methods of gross profit recogniotion are referred to as:
Under this method, gross profit is recognized at the end of each accounting period based on the
percentage of completion of the project. The percentage of completion is usually computed by dividing
the cost incurred to date by the total estimated cost to complete the project.
The formula to compute the gross profit to be recognized each year is as follows:
Once the percentage of completion is known, the following alternative formula may be used:
• Cost incurred to date- these include pre contract costs and costs incurred after contract
acceptance. Precontract costs include costs of architectural designs, cost of securing the contract
and any other costs that are expected to be recovered if the contract is accepted.
• Estimated costs to complete- these are the anticipated cost of materials, labor, subcontracting
costs, and indirect costs (overhead) required in completing the project at a scheduled time.
• Cost of Materials purchased in Advance in their Use- construction materials purchased several
weeks or moths before they are actually use in constructions should not be treated as costs
incurred for purposes of computing the percentage of completion ratio until the materials have
been physically used in production, unless they are specifically purchased for the project.
In some cases, the total estimated costs may increase due to increase in the costs of construction
materials. While the increase in the total estimated costs may result in a loss in the year the estimated
costs increased, the entire contract will still result in a profit. Sometimes, however, an increase in total
estimated costs is so great that a loss on the entire contract is anticipated; that is, total estimated costs
exceeds the total revenue from the contract. When a loss is anticipated, PAS No. 26 “Construction
Contracts” require reporting the loss in its entirely immediately when the loss is first anticipated.
This represents the difference between the Construction in Progress (CIP) account and the Contract
Billings as shown before:
Under the zero profit method, the Construction in Progress account before the year ofcompletion is
debited for the costs incurred to date. In the year of completion the Construction in progress account is
debited for the cost incurred and gross profit earned on the project.
On the other hand, under the percentage of completion m ethos, the Construction in Progress account is
debited every year for the costs incurred and gross profit earned each year. In the year of completion,
the balance of Construction in Progress account is closed to the Contract billings account which have the
same balance.
Change orders are modifications of an original contract. Contract revenue and costs should be adjusted
to reflect change orders that are approved by the contractor and customers.
