Intermediate Accounting: BORROWING COSTS
Requirements: What amount of borrowing cost should be capitalized as cost of the asset upon completion?
Ultimate Company, a socially responsible multinational entity, decided to construct a tunnel that will link two sides of the village that were separated by a natural disaster years ago. Realizing its role as a good corporate citizen, the entity has been in this village a couple of years exploring oil gas in the nearby offshore area. The tunnel would take two years to build and total capital outlay needed for the construction would not be less than P20,000,000. To allow itself a margin of safety, the entity borrowed P25,000,000 from these sources and used the extra P5,000,000 for working capital purposes. Financing was arranged as follows:
Bank term loan-7% 5,000,000
Institutional borrowing-8% 10,000,000
Corporate bonds-9% 10,000,000

- Manny Carson, certified management accountant and controller of Wakeman Enterprises, has been given permission to acquire a new computer and software for the companys accounting system. The capital investment analysis showed an NPV of 100,000. However, the initial estimates of acquisition and installation costs were made on the basis of tentative costs without any formal bids. Manny now has two formal bids, one that would allow the firm to meet or beat the original projected NPV and one that would reduce the projected NPV by 50,000. The second bid involves a system that would increase both the initial cost and the operating cost. Normally, Manny would take the first bid without hesitation. However, Todd Downing, the owner of the firm presenting the second bid, is a close friend. Manny called Todd and explained the situation, offering Todd an opportunity to alter his bid and win the job. Todd thanked Manny and then made a counteroffer. Todd: Listen, Manny, this job at the original price is the key to a successful year for me. The revenues will help me gain approval for the loan I need for renovation and expansion. If I dont get that loan, I see hard times ahead. The financial stats for loan approval are so marginal that reducing the bid price may blow my chances. Manny: Losing the bid altogether would be even worse, dont you think? Todd: True. However, if you award me the job, Ill be able to add personnel. I know that your son is looking for a job, and I can offer him a good salary and a promising future. Additionally, Ill be able to take you and your wife on that vacation to Hawaii that weve been talking about. Manny: Well, you have a point. My son is having an awful time finding a job, and he has a wife and three kids to support. My wife is tired of having them live with us. She and I could use a vacation. I doubt that the other bidder would make any fuss if we turned it down. Its offices are out of state, after all. Todd: Out of state? All the more reason to turn it down. Given the states economy, it seems almost criminal to take business outside. Those are the kind of business decisions that cause problems for people like your son. Required: Evaluate the ethical behavior of Manny. Should Manny have called Todd in the first place? Would there have been any problems if Todd had agreed to meet the lower bid price? Identify the parts of the Statement of Ethical Professional Practice (Chapter 1) that Manny may be violating, if any.arrow_forwardFinley Company is looking for a new office location and sees a building with a fair value of $740,000.

The price for this package purchase was $1,800,000 cash. A memorandum from the controller, Greg Fister, stated that the journal entry for this purchase should debit Land for $1,350,000, debit Building for $450,000, and credit Cash for $1,800,000. The building, a used laboratory facility, is to be depreciated over 10 years with a zero salvage value. The source documents supporting the transaction include two appraisals of the property, one done for Ag-Growth and one done for Hylite Corporation. The appraisal for Ag-Growth valued the land at $1,000,000 and the building at $500,000. The appraisal for Hylite Corporation (done by a different appraiser) valued the land at $1,500,000 and the building at $750,000.
