Kieso, Weygandt, Warfield, Young, Wiecek, McConomy Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES BRIEF EXERCISE 13-1 (a) Working capital is the excess of total current assets over total current liabilities. It represents the liquid buffer that is available to meet the financial demands of the company’s operating cycle. Current liabilities place a demand on the company’s current assets. Management of the due dates of current liabilities and management of current assets to generate cash on a timely basis are important for effective management of business operations. Effective management of working capital to achieve high liquidity may also contribute to positive cash from operating activities as seen on the statement of cash flows. (b) Wellson can improve its management of working capital by focusing on management of current liabilities as well as current assets. For example, if Wellson has a cash flow shortage, it can take advantage of the full credit period extended by its suppliers. As another example, Wellson may also time the due dates of short-term notes payable to coincide with expected periods of positive cash flow.

BRIEF EXERCISE 13-11 (a) Under IFRS, the $600,000 debt is reclassified as current because the long-term debt agreement is violated and the liability becomes payable on demand. It should be noted that under IFRS, the debt is reclassified as current, even if the lender agrees between the date of the statement of financial position and the date the financial statements are released that it will not demand repayment because of the violation. (b) Under ASPE, the $600,000 debt is reclassified as current unless the creditor waives in writing the covenant (agreement) requirements, or the violation has been cured within the grace period that is usually given in these agreements and it is likely that the company will not violate the covenant requirements within a year from the balance sheet date.

Kieso, Weygandt, Warfield, Young, Wiecek, McConomy Intermediate Accounting, Tenth Canadian Edition BRIEF EXERCISE 13-12 (a) Under IFRS, since the debt is due within 12 months from the reporting date, it is classified as a current liability. This classification holds even if long-term refinancing has been completed before the financial statements are released. The only exception accepted for continuing long-term classification is if, at the balance sheet date, the entity expects to refinance it or roll it over under an existing agreement for at least 12 months and the decision is solely at its discretion. (b) Under IFRS, the whole $500,000 of maturing debt would still be classified as a current obligation at December 31, 2014. The international standard has a stringent requirement that the agreement must be firm at the date of the statement of financial position in order to qualify for classification as long-term. (This assumes Burr had not entered into a long-term agreement prior to the statement of financial position date.) (c) For part (a), under ASPE, the debt would be classified as a long-term liability. If there is irrefutable evidence by the time the financial statements are completed and released that the debt has been or will be converted into a long-term obligation, ASPE allows currently maturing debt to be classified as long-term on the balance sheet. In this case, the debt was refinanced before the financial statements were completed and released. For part (b), under ASPE, the debt would be classified as a current liability since there was not irrefutable evidence by the time the financial statements were completed that the debt has been or will be converted into a long-term obligation. (This assumes Burr had not entered into a long- term agreement prior to the release of the financial statements.) In addition, since repayment occurred before funds were obtained through long-term financing, the repayment used existing current assets.
