ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to raise questions about Technical Interpretation 14 (ICPC 14) from the Accounting Standards Committee with regards to the statutory characteristics of Brazilian cooperative societies. We do not aim to provide definitive solutions by exhausting all conceptual analyses and accounting alternatives involving the reclassification of member shares, or “quotas”, from net equity to liabilities, but rather to present some considerations with regards to points that are not explicit in ICPC 14. Applying the concept of adjustment to present value (APV) is the main point of this study, which was not taken into account when ICPC 14 was elaborated. Analysis of the statutes of cooperatives indicates, as a common characteristic, the obligation to always pay the redemption of members’ quotas in a period of more than one year, and this leads us to conclude that for a reliable representation of the phenomenon it is necessary to recognize the APV of this reclassified liability.

In February 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 7, Using Cash Flow Information and Present Value in Accounting Measurements.  In this document the FASB asserts without proof that a present value computation along its lines will provide a good estimate of the fair value of an asset or liability.  Using numerical examples provided by the FASB, we attempt to construct arguments in support of the FASB’s claim.  We find that such arguments require strong and not at all obvious assumptions about players in hypothetical markets.

The research highlights the long-term leases according to the international accounting standards in public sector within the economic units that apply the government accounting system. The long-term lease is a lease that has a framework of terms and conditions ratified between two persons; or it is a group of agreements which the two parties of the contract (lessor and lessee) are committed by. The lease is usually valid for over one year. The international accounting standards name several treatments in the lessor registry in order to get suitable measurement and disclosure of the users’ needed information and the statement of financial position of the economic unit. Measurements are one of the most important operations that facilitate accessing to reliable data; disclosure is the most significant operator in validity and accuracy of information about the building that is provided to the users.

The paper is concerned with an evaluation of possibilities of companies using operating lease and prepared financial statements under IFRS or US GAAP comparison. The data of non-financial companies listed on the Prague Stock Exchange and reporting information on operating lease in accordance with IAS 17 are used. The study presents the impact of operating lease capitalization on companies’ financial statements and financial analysis ratios. The results show a negative impact of operating lease capitalization on financial analysis ratios. The study was motivated by a common effort of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to develop the common standard for Lease reporting. In 2013, a joint exposure dra of standard (ED2013/6) Leases was published. Under the new standard, it is required to capitalize all lease agreements over one year. The distinction between operating leases and finance leases should not exist anymore. The study was carried out to demonstrate the potential impact resulting from the proposed adoption of the new accounting standard concerning mandatory capitalization of all lease contracts.

Резиме: У чланку се најпре разматра додата економска вредност као метод за мерење перформанси предузећа у временским интервалима од годину дана. Затим се расправља о додатој тржишној вредности као разлици између тржишне вредности предузећа и вредности инвестираног капитала. После тога се објашњава међузависност додате економске вредности и додате тржишне вредности. На крају се показује да постоји повезаност нето садашње вредности као метода за оцену рентабилности инвестиција и тржишне вредности предузећа.Summary: Economic value added as a method for company performance measurement for time periods of one year is firstly analyzed in the paper. After that we discuss market value added as a difference between company market value and value of invested capital. Then the interdependence between economic value added and market value added is explained. Finally, we point out that there is relationship between net present value as a method for investment rentability evaluation and company market value.

ABSTRACT: We examine the pricing of realized tax benefits from net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards across income statement presentations. During the period 1987 through 1992, firms adopting SFAS No. 96 reported these tax benefits as part of income before extraordinary items (via a reduced provision for income tax expense), while non-adopting firms reported these benefits as extraordinary income items under APB No. 11. We provide evidence that NOL tax benefits were priced rationally when reported as extraordinary income items under APB No. 11; however, NOL tax benefits were overpriced, relative to their one-year-ahead persistence, when included in income before extraordinary items under SFAS No. 96. Our results suggest that the rational pricing of income tax information is affected by its presentation in the income statement, despite the clear reporting of sufficient additional details in the footnotes. Our findings provide support for the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s tentative decision to report income taxes in a separate section of the income statement.

SYNOPSIS: A proposed accounting standard issued jointly by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) would require firms to recognize many more lease assets than are currently required and to amortize those assets on a straight-line basis. A number of respondents to the exposure draft argue that the “front-loading” of lease expense resulting from straight-line amortization would not reflect the economics of the lease assets. This study compares straight-line amortization with the most-often cited alternative, present value amortization. First, we illustrate by example that under stylized conditions, present value amortization provides information that more faithfully represents the future cash flows of lease assets than straight-line amortization. Second, for a large subset of firms that are more likely to conform to the stylized conditions in our example, we find that investors value those firms as though the lease assets are capitalized and amortized on a present value basis. Finally, we find that financial ratio comparability is substantially increased when operating leases are constructively capitalized and amortized using straight-line amortization, and further increased when using present value amortization. Taken together, these results provide no evidence for favoring straight-line amortization over present value amortization as the default method for amortizing capitalized operating leases. Data Availability: Data used in this paper are publicly available.
