Excerpt from: What the heck is work anyway?
by Alexander Kjuerulf
Rather than try to come up with the most correct definition of work, i.e. one that
would make sense in an economical, sociological and psychological
perspective, I’d rather try to find a definition of work or rather a view of work,
that promotes happiness at work in most normal kinds of work.
This immediately eliminates some definitions:
• If work is simply that you do because you have to, then happiness at work is
almost impossible by definition.
• If work is only what you do for money, it eliminates all volunteer work.
• If work is only what you do for a purpose, then all aspects of your job that
are not productive are no longer work.
I’m not claiming to have the answer yet, but as I see it here are some elements
of a definition if work that is conducive to happiness:
• Work is something you choose to do. You may not have a choice of whether
or not to work but you have choice in what work you do.
• Work is something you’re valued for. Either someone pays you for your
work or someone takes the time and resources to organize your work.
• Work is an activity where you make a positive difference for someone else.

Discussion Question
Q7-15 What is “imputed interest”?
Imputed interest is the interest ascribed or attributed to a
situation or circumstance which is void of a stated or otherwise
appropriate interest factor. Imputed interest is the result of a
process of interest rate estimation called imputation.
In what situations is it necessary to impute an interest rate for
notes receivable?
An interest rate is imputed for notes receivable when (1) no
interest rate is stated for the transaction, or (2) the stated
interest rate is unreasonable, or (3) the stated face amount of
the note is materially different from the current cash price for the
same or similar items or from the current market value of the
debt instrument.
Discussion Question
Q7-15 Continued – What are the considerations in imputing
an appropriate rate?
In imputing an appropriate interest rate, consideration
should be given to the prevailing interest rates for similar
instruments of issuers with similar credit ratings, the
collateral, and restrictive covenants.

In a bargained transaction entered into at arm’s
length, the stated interest rate is presumed to be
fair unless:
1. No interest rate is stated, or
2. Stated interest rate is unreasonable, or
3. Face amount of the note is materially different
from the current cash sales price.
Notes Receivable Example
Oasis Development Co. sold a corner lot to Rusty Pelican as a
restaurant site. Oasis accepted in exchange a five-year note
having a maturity value of $35,247 and no stated interest rate.
The land originally cost Oasis $14,000. At the date of sale the land
had a fair market value of $20,000.
Oasis uses the fair market value of the land, $20,000, as the
present value of the note. Oasis therefore records the sale as:
($35,247 - $20,000) = $15,247

Discussion Question
Q7-16 What is the fair value option? Where do companies
that elect the fair value option report unrealized holding
gains and losses?
The fair value option gives companies the option of using
fair value as the measurement basis for financial
instruments. The Board believes that fair value
measurement for financial instruments provides more
relevant and understandable information than historical
cost. If companies choose the fair value option, the
receivables are recorded at fair value, with unrealized
gains or losses reported as part of net income.
Valuation of Notes Receivable

Short-Term reported at Net Realizable Value (same as
accounting for accounts receivable).

Long-Term - FASB requires companies disclose not only
their cost but also their fair value in the notes to the
financial statements.
►
Fair Value Option. Companies have the option to use fair
value as the basis of measurement in the financial
statements. Adjustments to value go through net income.
Disposition of Receivables
Owner may transfer accounts or notes receivables to
another company for cash.
Reasons:

Competition.

Sell receivables because money is tight.

Billing / collection are time-consuming and costly.
Transfer accomplished by:
1. Secured borrowing
2. Sale of receivables

The FASB
concluded that a
sale occurs only if
the seller surrenders
control of the
receivables to the
buyer.
Three conditions
must be met.
Sale of Receivables
Factors are finance companies or banks that buy receivables
from businesses for a fee.

Sale of Receivables
Sale Without Recourse

Purchaser assumes risk of collection



Seller records loss on sale





Financial components approach used to record transfer
Presentation of Receivables
1. Segregate the different types of receivables that a company
possesses, if material.
2. Appropriately offset the valuation accounts against the proper
receivable accounts.
3. Determine that receivables classified in the current assets
section will be converted into cash within the year or the
operating cycle, whichever is longer.
4. Disclose any loss contingencies that exist on the receivables.
5. Disclose any receivables designated or pledged as collateral.
6. Disclose the nature of credit risk inherent in the receivables.
Discussion Question
Q7-21 What is the accounts receivable turnover ratio, and
what type of information does it provide?
The accounts receivable turnover ratio is computed by
dividing net sales by average net receivables outstanding
during the year. This ratio is used to assess the liquidity of
the receivables. It measures the number of times, on
average, receivables are collected during the period. It
provides some indication of the quality of the receivables
and how successful the company is in collecting its
outstanding receivables.
A/R Turnover Ratio
This Ratio used to:

Assess the liquidity of the receivables.

Measure the number of times, on average, a company
collects receivables during the period.
IFRS
RELEVANT FACTS - Similarities

The accounting and reporting related to cash is essentially the same
under both IFRS and GAAP. In addition, the definition used for cash
equivalents is the same.

Like GAAP, cash and receivables are generally reported in the current
assets section of the balance sheet under IFRS.

Similar to GAAP, IFRS requires that loans and receivables be accounted
for at amortized cost, adjusted for allowances for doubtful accounts.
IFRS
RELEVANT FACTS - Differences

Under IFRS, companies may report cash and receivables as the last
items in current assets under IFRS. Under GAAP, these items are
reported in order of liquidity.

While IFRS implies that receivables with different characteristics should
be reported separately, there is no standard that mandates this
segregation. GAAP has explicit guidance in the area.

The fair value option is similar under GAAP and IFRS but not identical.
The international standard related to the fair value option is subject to
certain qualifying criteria not in the U.S. standard. In addition, there is
some difference in the financial instruments covered.
IFRS
RELEVANT FACTS - Differences

Under IFRS, bank overdrafts are generally reported as cash. Under
GAAP, such balances are reported as liabilities.

IFRS and GAAP differ in the criteria used to account for transfers of
receivables. IFRS is a combination of an approach focused on risks and
rewards and loss of control. GAAP uses loss of control as the primary
criterion. In addition, IFRS generally permits partial transfers; GAAP
does not.
