bearing, the property or asset is recorded at the purchase price.
• The purchase price is reasonably assumed to be the present value of the note and therefore
the fair value of the property because the note issued is interest bearing.

On January 1, 2017, Oroquieta Co. issued 4-year bonds with a face value of P 4,000,000 for P 4,633,973.
The bonds carry an interest of 15% per year payable annually on December 31. The prevailing rate of
interest is 10%. The bonds are to be appropriately classified as financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss.
On December 31, 2017, the bonds are quoted at 103%.

Questions:
Based on the above data, answer the following:
Answer: P600,000
Solution:
Answer: P513,973
Solution:
JE:
NOTES:
• In accordance with PFRS 9, paragraph 4.2.2, at initial recognition, bonds payable may be
irrevocably designated at fair value through profit or loss.
In other words, under the fair value option, the bonds payable shall be measured initially at
fair value and remeasured at every year-end with any changes in fair value generally
recognized in profit or loss. The carrying amount of the bonds payable is always equal to the
fair value at every year-end.
• There is no more amortization of bond discount and bond premium. Any transaction cost or
bond issue cost should be expensed immediately.
As a matter of fact, interest expense is recognized using the nominal or stated rate.
3. How much is the realized loss (or gain) on derecognition in 2018 to be recognized in the profit
or loss?
Answer: P32,000
Solution:
JE:
Bonds payable 1,648,000
Loss on early retirement of bonds 32,000
Cash 1,680,000
NOTES:
• A financial liability should be removed from the statement of financial position when, and
only when, it is extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the contract is either
discharged, cancelled, or expired.
• Where there has been an exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt
instruments with substantially different terms, or there has been a substantial modification of
the terms of an existing financial liability, this transaction is accounted for as an
extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
• A gain or loss from extinguishment of the original financial liability is recognized in the
income statement.
4. Assuming that on January 1, 2018, the remaining bonds were reclassified to financial
liabilities at amortized cost, how much is the gain or loss on reclassification?
Answer: Nil
NOTES:
• PFRS 9, provides that an entity shall reclassify financial instruments only when it changes
its business model for managing the financial instrument.
• Where reclassification occurs, an entity shall apply the reclassification prospectively from the
reclassification date. The entity shall not restate any previously recognized gains, losses
and interest.
• The reclassification date is the first day of the reporting period following the change in
business model that results in an entity reclassifying financial asset.
• PFRS 9 provides that when an entity reclassifies a financial instrument from fair value
through profit or loss to amortized cost, the fair value at the reclassification date becomes
the new carrying amount of the financial instrument at amortized cost.
• The difference between the new carrying amount of the financial instrument at amortized
cost and the face value of the financial instrument shall be amortized through profit or loss
over the remaining life of the financial asset using the effective interest method.
PROBLEM 6. Unrealized Gain or Loss of FVTPL with Change due to Credit Risk
On January 1, 2015, Tubod Co. issues a 6-year bond with a par value of P 2,000,000 and an annual fixed
coupon rate of 10% which is consistent with market rates for bonds with similar characteristics. Tubod uses
observed (benchmark) interest rate. At the date of inception of the bonds, this rate is 7%. At the end of the
first year:
a. Observed (benchmark) interest rate has decreased to 6%.
b. The fair value interest rate of the bonds is 8%.
Tubod is required to present the effects of changes in the liability's credit risk in other comprehensive
income.
Questions:
Based on the above data, answer the following:
1. How much is the unrealized gain or loss to be recognized in the OCI during 2015?
a. Nil
b. P 82,000
c. P 77,740
d. P 159,740
2. How much is the unrealized gain or loss to be recognized in the P&L during 2015?
a. Nil
b. P 82,000
c. P 77,740
d. P 159,740
Solution:
The bonds internal rate of return is 10%, because the oberved (benchmark) interest rate is 7%,
the instrument specific component of the internal rate of return is 3%. The discount rate to
calculate the present value of the bond is thus, 9% (6% + 3%).
JE:
NOTES:
• PFRS 9, paragraph 5.7.7 Gains and losses arising from remeasuring a financial asset or
financial liability at fair value should be normally recognized in profit or loss. However, there
is an exception for most non-derivative financial liabilities that are designated as measured
at fair value through profit or loss. For these liabilities the element of the gain or loss
attributable to changes in credit risk should be recognized in other comprehensive income
(with remainder recognized in profit or loss).
• This exception does not apply to loan commitments or financial guarantee contracts (PFRS
9 par 5.7.9), nor does it apply if it would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit
or loss. In these cases all changes in fair value of the liability (including the effects of
changes in the credit risks) should be recognized in profit or loss. (PFRS 9. B5.7.8)
Credit risks – the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for
the other party by failing to discharge an obligation
• Changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk include changes in benchmark
interest rate, the price of another entity’s financial instrument, a commodity price, foreign
excahnge rate or index of prices or rates.
PROBLEM 7. Initial Recognition, Subsequent Measurement and Derecognition and
Reclassification of Financial Liabilities at Amortized Cost
On January 1, 2017, Oroquieta Co. issued 4-year bonds with a face value of P 4,000,000 for P 4,633,973.
The bonds carry an interest of 15% per year payable annually on December 31. The prevailing rate of
interest is 10%. The bonds are to be appropriately classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost.
On December 31, 2017, the bonds are quoted at 103%.
On January 1, 2018, 40% of the bonds were retired at 105% its fair value on that date.
Questions:
Based on the above data, answer the following:
1. How much is the interest expense for 2017?
Answer: P463,397
Solution:
2. How much is the unrealized loss (or gain) in 2017 to be recognized in the profit or loss?
Answer: Nil
NOTE:
• Unrealized gain and loss on financial instrument at amortized cost are not recognized simply
because such investments are not reported at fair value.
• PFRS 9, provides that gain and loss on financial instrument measured at amortized cost and
is not part of a hedging relationship shall be recognized in profit or loss when the financial
instrument is derecognized, sold, impaired or reclassified, and through the amortization
process.

NOTES:
• Serial bonds are bonds with a series of maturity dates and allow the issuing entity to retire
the bonds by installment.
Bonds payable not designated at fair value through profit or loss shall be measured initially
at fair value minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the bonds
payable.
The market price or issue price of the bonds payable is equal to the present value of the
principal bond liability plus the present value of future interest payments.
On January 1, 2017, Dumagete Co. issued its, P 4,000, 10%, 5-year bonds at the prevailing rate of
interest of 15%. Interest is payable every December 31.
On December 31, 2017, after payment of interest, 1/2 of the bonds were retired at P 1,900,000 when the
fair value of the securities is P 350. The prevailing rate of interest of the bonds is 12%.
On December 31, 2018, after payment of interest, the remaining bonds were converted into P 100 par
value, 4,000 ordinary shares when the fair value of the securities is P 400. The bonds were converted
because of the equity swap.
Questions:
Based on the above data, answer the following:
1. Issue price of the bonds on January 1, 2017.
Answer: P3,329,680

Answer: P257,185
Solution:
Answer: P171,751
Solution: .
Carrying amount of the remaining bonds, Dec 2018 (3,543,502 x 50%) P 1,771,751
Fair value of shares ( 4,000 ordinary shares x P 400) 1,600,000
Gain on conversion of bonds 171,751
NOTES:
Equity Swap
• An equity swap is a transaction whereby a debtor and creditor may renegotiate the terms of
a financial liability with the result that the liability is fully or partially extinguished by the
debtor issuing equity instruments to the creditor.
• IFRC 19 provides that an entity shall initially measure equity instruments issued to
extinguish all or part of a financial liability at the fair value of the equity instruments issued or
the fair value of the liability extinguished, whichever is more reliably determinable. If both the
fair value of the equity instruments issued and the fair value of the financial liability
extinguished cannot be measured reliably, the equity instruments issued shall be measured
at the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished.
5. The net increase (or decrease) in the share premium as a result of the conversion of the
bonds on December 31, 2018.
Answer: P1,200,000
Solution:
On January 1, 2017, Tagbilaran Co. issued its 10%, 4-year, P4,000,000 convertible bonds for the face
amount of P4,000,000. The bonds are convertible into P200 par ordinary shares at a conversion price of
P250 per share. The prevailing rate of interest of the bonds without the conversion option is 15%. Interest
is payable every December 31.
On December 31, 2017, after payment of interest, 1/2 of the bonds were retired at P 1,900,000 when the
fair value of the securities is P350. The prevailing rate of interest of the bonds is 12%.
On January 1, 2018, to induce the holder to convert the convertible debenture promptly, Tagbilaran
reduces the conversion price to P200 if the debenture is converted before March 1, 2018 (i.e. within 60
days). All the bondholders accepted the offer on January 1, 2018. On the date of conversion, the fair
value of the Tagbilaran Co.'s ordinary share is P240 per share.

Solution:
3. The net increase (or decrease) in equity as a result of the retirement of the bonds on
December 31, 2017.
Answer: P3,960
Solution:
Answer: P514,380
Solution:
Answer: P480,000
Solution:
Ordinary shares to be issued (2,000,000 / P 200) 10,000
Ordinary shares to be issued- original terms (2,000,000 / P 250) 8,000
Incremental ordinary shares to be issued 2,000
NOTES:
• The liability component is equal to the market value of the bonds without conversion
privilege.
• If the market value of the bonds without the conversion privilege is unknown, the amount
equal to the present value of the principal bond liability plus the present value of the future
interest payments using the market rate of interest for similar bonds without the conversion
privilege.
• Paragraph 31 further states that equity instruments are instruments that evidence a residual
interest in the assets of an entity efter deducting all of its liabilities. Therefore, when an initial
carrying amount of a compound financial instrument is allocated to its equity and liability
components, the equity component is assigned the residual amount after deducting from the
fair value of the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined for the liability
component.
• Once the allocation of the consideration is made, any resulting gain or loss is treated in
accordance with accounting principles applicable to the related component, as follows:
a. The amount of gain or loss relating to the liability component is recognized in profit or
loss; and
• An entity may amend the terms of a convertible instrument to induce early conversion, for
example by offering a more favorable conversion ratio or paying other additional
consideration in the event of conversion before a specified date. The difference, at the date
the terms are amended, between the fair value of the consideration the holder receives on
conversion of the instrument under the revised terms and the fair value of the consideration
the holder would have received under the original terms is recognized as a loss in profit or
loss. (PAS 32 AG35)
