FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

MODULE 1 :
INTRODUCTION TO LIABILITIES
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND NOTES PAYABLE
LIABILITY

- A present obligation of the entity to transfer an economic resource as a result of past events (Chapter 4,
Revised Conceptual Framework).
- A present obligation arising from a past event, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from
the enterprise of resources embodying economic benefits.

3 Essential characteristics of a liability:


1. A PRESENT OBLIGATION
OBLIGATION – duty or responsibility that the entity has no practical ability to avoid.
1. Legal obligation – derives from a contract, legislation or other operation of law.
2. Constructive obligation – derives from enterprise’s actions whereby an established pattern of past
practice, published policies or specific current statement, the enterprise has indicated to other parties that it
will accept certain responsibilities and as a result, the enterprise has created a valid expectation on the part of
those other parties that it will discharge those responsibilities.
2. A PAST EVENT
• The liability will arise if the entity acquires legally or constructively the title to the goods or when services
are already rendered.

3.TRANSFER OF ECONOMIC RESOURCES


- The settlement of a liability requires a transfer of economic resources which may be settled in different ways:
✓ Payment of cash
✓ Transfer of other assets
✓ Render of services
✓ Replacement of an obligation with another obligation
✓ Conversion of obligation to equity
✓ Condonation by creditor
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

• A financial liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation


a.) To deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, or
b.) To exchange financial assets or financial liabilities to another entity under conditions that are potentially
unfavorable to the entity, or
c.) will be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is a non-derivative for which the entity may be
obliged to deliver a variable number of the entity’s own equity instruments ,or
d.) that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is a derivative that will or may be settled
other than by exchange of a fixed amount of cash or a financial asset for a fixed number of the entity’s own equity
instrument.
INITIAL RECOGNITION : Transaction Price/ Fair value
→ For financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance
of the financial instrument is considered in the initial measurement.

SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT:
→Except for financial liabilities that are measured at fair value, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost.

PRESENTATION IN THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION:


→ Financial liabilities are classified as current and non-current liabilities.

SOME EXAMPLES OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES:


→Accounts payable
→Notes payable
→Bonds payable
→Mortgage payable
CURRENT OR NON-CURRENT?

A liability shall be classified as current if:


➢it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
➢it is expected to be settled in the entity’s normal operating cycle;
➢it is due to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date;
or
➢the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

• Liabilities arising from the purchase of goods, materials, supplies, or services on an open charge-account
basis.
• Credit period varies from 30 to 120 days without any interest being charged on the deferred payment.
• The accounts payable must be recognized in the books of the entity at the time it acquired economic
control over the goods ordered.
• Transfer of title depends on the terms of purchase (which could either be FOB Shipping point or FOB
Destination)
• May be subjected to cash discounts (incentives for early payment; ex. 2/10,n/30 or 2/10, 1/15, n/30 )
ACCOUNTING FOR CASH DISCOUNTS

Cash discounts may be recorded using either

a.) GROSS METHOD


- If the entity adopts the Periodic Inventory System, the Purchases account and the Accounts payable account
are recorded at the gross invoice price while under the Perpetual Inventory System, the Merchandise
Inventory and the Accounts payable accounts are recorded at gross.
- A cash discount taken is recognized only at the time of payment as a credit to Purchase Discount under Periodic
Inventory System and a credit to Merchandise Inventory account if the Perpetual Inventory System was used.
- Purchase Discount account is presented in the profit or loss section as a deduction to Purchases account under
Periodic Inventory System.
ACCOUNTING FOR CASH DISCOUNTS

b.) NET METHOD


- If the entity adopts the Periodic Inventory System, the Purchases and the Accounts payable account are
recorded at net of the cash discount while under Perpetual Inventory System, the Merchandise Inventory and
the Accounts payable accounts are recorded at net of cash discount.

- The Purchase discount is recognized even not taken. Under the Periodic Inventory System, If payment is done after
the discount period, a Purchase discount lost is recognized, which is taken to profit or loss section of the Statement
of Comprehensive Income as part of finance cost and not capitalized to the inventory account.
ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM:

On December 24, 2019, ABC Company purchased merchandise from DEF Company with trade discounts of 10% and
15%. The list price is P 500,000 with payment terms of 2/10, n/30. Assume the company uses periodic method to
account for their inventories.

December 24, 2019 Purchases 382,500 Purchases 374,850


Accounts payable 382,500 Accounts payable 374,850
P500,000 x 90% x 85%= P382,500 P382,500 x 98%= =P374,850

If the accounts payable is paid within the discount period, let’s say on December 28, 2019:
Accounts payable 382,500 Accounts payable 374,850
December 28, 2019 Purchase discount 7,650 Cash 374,850
Cash 374,850
If payment is made beyond the discount period, let’s say on January 13, 2019:

Accounts payable 382,500 Accounts payable 374,850


January 13, 2020 Cash 382,500 Purchase discount lost 7,650
Cash 382,500
NOTES PAYABLE

• A written promise to pay a certain sum of money to the bearer at a designated future time.

CHARACTERISTICS: TYPES OF NOTES:


- Evidenced by a promissory note. a.) Interest bearing (with realistic or
unrealistic interest rates)
- It has an interest rate.
b.) Non- interest bearing
- Maturity value
- Maturity date
TYPES OF INTEREST RATES:
a. Stated or Nominal Interest Rate
b. Effective or Market or Yield Rate
SAMPLE PROMISSORY
NOTES
NOTES WITH REALISTIC INTEREST RATE

• Notes with realistic interest rates are those with stated rates that approximates the prevailing market rate for
similar obligations.
• Also, the fair value / present value of the note at the date of issuance is equal to its face value. Basically, these
are the interest-bearing notes.

• Some example of these notes may either be:


a.) Long-term notes with principal and interest payable periodically or
b.) Long-term notes with principal matures in lump sum and interest is payable periodically

NOTES WITH UNREALISTIC INTEREST RATE

• Notes with unrealistic interest rates are those:


a.) interest rate appearing on the face of the note is significantly different from the market rate of similar notes; or
b.) the consideration received on account of the note issued has a fair value that is significantly different from the face value of the note.
• The note and interest to be paid based on the stated rate shall be discounted at the market rate of interest on the date of issuance.
• If STATED RATE > EFFECTIVE RATE OF INTEREST
→ Discounted amount / Present value > Face value of the note = Premium on Notes payable
• If STATED RATE < EFFECTIVE RATE OF INTEREST
→ Discounted amount / Present value < Face value of the note = Discount on Notes payable

• Some example of these notes may either be:


a.) Short term notes with stated rate more than market rate of interest
b.) Short term notes with stated rate is less than market rate of interest

* Long term notes with unrealistic interest rates are accounted for using the same principles applied to bonds payable that are issued at a
discount or at a premium.

On June 30, 2019, ACT Company issued a 1 year, P 4,500,000, 10% promissory note for the purchase of an equipment.
There is no equivalent cash price for this equipment, but the market rate of interest on similar notes is 8%.

The stated rate (10%) is higher than the market rate of interest (8%), with this it will result to a present value
(4,583,333.33) which will be higher than the face amount of the note (4,500,000). Because the present value is
higher than the face amount of the note, a premium on notes payable (83,333.33) is going to be recognized.

NON-INTEREST BEARING NOTES

• Is a note that does not explicitly state an interest rate on the face of the note. It is a form of a note where
interest is already imputed on the face value of the note.
• FACE VALUE = PRESENT VALUE + IMPUTED INTEREST
• TRANSACTION PRICE = CASH RECEIVED or FAIR VALUE OF GOODS AND SERVICES RECEIVED
• If the note is issued in exchange of goods and services whose fair value cannot be reliably determined, the
present value of the note is computed base on the prevailing market rate of interest for a similar obligations and
is recognized initially as a liability.
• The difference between the face value of the non-interest bearing note and the present value computed is
recognized as Discount on Notes payable. The Discount on Notes payable represents the total interest expense
to be recognized over the term of then note.
• Using the effective interest method, interest is recognized over the term of the note with a debit to Interest
Expense and a credit to Discount on Notes payable adjusting the amortized cost of the notes.
• The Discount on notes payable balance every reporting date is deducted to the face value of the note to arrive
at the amortized cost presented in the statement of financial position.

On April 1, 2019, ACT Company issued a 3-year, non-interest bearing note for P 4,500,000 for the purchase of an
equipment. The note is payable in equal annual installments every April 1, starting April 1,2020. There is no equivalent
cash price for this equipment, but the market rate of interest on similar obligations at that time is 8%. The company’s
reporting date is every December 31.

Because there is no know cash price equivalent or fair value of equipment, the asset and the liability is initially recognized at the
present value of the note discounted at the prevailing market rate of interest for similar obligations which is computed as
follows:

Annual principal payment - P 1,500,000


PV factor for ordinary annuity at 8% for 3 periods 2.5771…
Present value of note 3,865,645.48

The Discount on notes payable balance is computed as:

Face value of the note 4,500,000


Present value of the note 3,865,645.48
Discount on notes payable 634,354.52
