Exceptions: Do Not Use FMV In exchange of operational assets fair value is used except in rare situations Neither fair value can be determined Exchange lacks commercial substance Even though these two cases are rare exceptions many CPA exam questions may be on these topics Exchanges: FMV Unknown Fair values cannot be determined No gain (loss) is recognized Asset acquired valued at Book value of asset given up Plus cash given (or minus cash received) Book value given + cash paid = FMV acquired Book value given cash received = FMV acquired 145 146 Exchange 4: FMV Unknown Exchange building for land Cannot determine FMV of either asset Cost of building $600,000 Accumulated depreciation $400,000 Book value $200,000 We paid cash $100,000 Book value given + cash paid = FMV acquired Book value given cash received = FMV acquired Book value given + cash paid = FMV acquired $200,000 + 100,000 = 300,000 147 Exchange 4: FMV Unknown Exchanged building for land, FMV of both assets unknown Land (new) Plug 300,000 Accumulated depreciation 400,000 Building (old) 600,000 Cash 100,000 No recognition of gain or loss 148 No Commercial Substance To discourage trades of appreciated assets solely to recognize gains, fair values only used in legitimate exchanges with commercial substance No Commercial Substance Fraudulently inflate earning When FMV > book value Exchange assets Both companies recognize gains 149 150 25
Test: Commercial Substance Both conditions must be met: 1. Change in future cash flows expected 2. Expected change significant relative to fair value of assets exchanged Exchange: Calc Gain (Loss) Type of Exchange No commercial substance, no cash received No commercial substance, cash received less than 25% of fair value No commercial substance, cash received 25% or more of fair value Record Transaction Defer gains by reducing basis of incoming asset; recognize losses immediately Recognize partial gain; recognize losses immediately Recognize all gains and losses immediately Always recognize losses immediately Difference is in treatment of gains 151 152 Recognition of Losses No Commercial Substance No Cash Received Recognize loss immediately (except commercial sub: FMV unknown) Unlikely transaction entered into solely to generate loss If the loss were deferred, assets would be overstated Companies should not value assets at more than their cash equivalent price 153 No gain recognized Loss may be recognized If gain, asset acquired valued at BV asset given plus cash given Actual FMV asset received gain Same Book value given + cash paid = FMV acquired If no cash paid Book value given = FMV acquired 154 Exchange 5: No Commercial Substance, No Cash Received Exchange truck for truck (identical) Cost of truck $50,000 Accumulated depreciation $40,000 Book value $10,000 Fair value asset given $25,000 Gain on exchange (not allowed) $15,000 Recognition of gain not allowed 155 JE Below Not Allowed Exchange identical truck for truck, both companies recognize gain Truck (new) FMV 25,000 Accumulated depreciation 40,000 Truck (old) 50,000 Gain on exchange Plug 15,000 Because FMV > book value for both trucks both companies will show gain if they exchange assets even though there is no economic benefit to the exchange 156 26
Exchange 5: No Commercial Substance, No Cash Received Exchange identical truck for truck, no gain recognized Truck (new) FMV gain 10,000 Accumulated depreciation 40,000 Truck (old) 50,000 Gain on exchange 15,000 Do not recognize gain Reduce basis of incoming asset by amount of gain New asset = FMV gain New asset = Book value old asset 157 Exchange 5: No Commercial Substance, No Cash Received Exchange identical truck for truck, no gain recognized Truck (new) FMV gain 10,000 Accumulated depreciation 40,000 Truck (old) 50,000 Gain on exchange 15,000 Lower value of incoming asset leads to lower depreciation expense in future periods which raises net income (allocates gain over life of asset) 158 Exchange: Calc Gain (Loss) No Commercial Substance Cash Received < 25% Type of Exchange No commercial substance, no cash received No commercial substance, cash received less than 25% of fair value No commercial substance, cash received 25% or more of fair value Record Transaction Defer gains by reducing basis of incoming asset; recognize losses immediately Recognize partial gain; recognize losses immediately Recognize all gains and losses immediately Always recognize losses immediately Difference is in treatment of gains 159 No commercial substance Cash received < 25% of fair value Loss recognized Recognize portion of gain Reason for partial recognition of gain Transaction part cash sale, part exchange Recognize gain on cash sale portion Boot received represents portion sold 160 Exchange 6: No Comm.
