Question 5. Question : (TCO D) Hurst, Inc. sold its 8% bonds
with a maturity value of $3,000,000 on August 1, 2009 for $2,946,000.
At the time of the sale, the bonds had 5 years until they reached
maturity. Interest on the bonds is payable semiannually on August 1 and
February 1. The bonds are callable at 104 at any time after August 1,
2011. By October 1, 2011, the market rate of interest has declined and
the market price of Hurst’s bonds has risen to a price of 101. The firm
decides to refund the bonds by selling a new 6% bond issue to mature in

5 years. Hurst begins to reacquire its 8% bonds in the market and is able
to purchase $500,000 worth at 101. The remainder of the outstanding
bonds is reacquired by exercising the bonds’ call feature. In the final
analysis, how much was the gain or loss experienced by Hurst in
reacquiring its 8% bonds? (Assume the firm used straight-line
amortization.) Show calculations.

ACCT 551 Week 1 Discussion BE12-2, BE12-3, BE12-7,
BE12-6, BE 12-12, Ex 12-15
www.newtonhelp.com
BE12-2 makes us learn that if any legal cost is incurred to defend an
intangible assets it should be added to the book value of intangible asset
and depreciated over its remaining useful life. Book Value is
determined by subtracting amortization till the date of incurring legal
cost from the purchase price.
BE12-3 provides us repeated practice to record amortization on
intangible asset  
The take away from BE12-7 is how to test goodwill for impairment. We
test goodwill for impairment by comparing the Fair Value (FV) with the

Carrying Value(CV) of the reporting unit. If FV is less than CV then we
proceed further to test goodwill for impairment.   
BRIEF EXERCISE 12-7
Because the fair value of the division exceeds the carrying amount of
the assets, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. No entry is
necessary.
BE12-6. This question helped us learn testing an intangible for
impairment. This test involves two steps Recoverability test and Fair
Value Test. In the Recoverability test we compare the Future Cash
Flows and the Carrying Amount of the intangible. Here in this question
the future cash flows of $210,000 are less than the carrying value
therefore there is an impairment. Now we apply the second test to find
the amount of impairment loss by comparing the fair value ($110,000)
with the carrying value (300,000). The impairment loss here is $190,000
( 300,000-110,000). Please note that the intangible is now reported only
at $110,000
BE12-12. Point to note in this question is that the Research and
Development cost of $96,000 is not added to the cost of intangible but
only the legal expenses of n$85,000 to defend the intangible is added.

(a)
December 31, 2010
Loss on Impairment..............................
15,000,000
Goodwil.........................................

15,000,000
The fair value of the reporting unit ($335 million) is below its carrying
value ($350 million). Therefore, an impairment has occurred. To
determine the impair-ment amount, we first find the implied goodwill.
We then compare this implied fair value to the carrying value of the
goodwill to determine the amount of the impairment to record.
