ANSWERS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS

1. The Bankruptcy Code defines insolvency for an entity other than a partnership or a municipality as a financial state in which the current fair value of the entity's property, exclusive of property withheld from creditors, is less than the amount of the entity's liabilities.

2. Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure are prescribed by the U.S. Supreme Court for the various legal practices and procedures under the Bankruptcy Code.

3. The classes of creditors whose claims are dealt with in a bankruptcy liquidation are as follows: (a) unsecured creditors having priority (as prescribed in the Bankruptcy Code), (b) fully secured creditors, partially secured creditors, and (c) creditors having unsecured claims without priority.

4. Liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code involves the realization (sale) of the assets of a debtor and the distribution of the cash proceeds to creditors.

5. A debtor’s petition is filed by any debtor except entities such as a railroad, insurance, bank, credit union, or savings and loan association. The debtor's petition is a plea for the court to grant an order for relief to the petitioner in bankruptcy. A creditors’ petition is filed by creditors of a debtor other than those excluded by the Bankruptcy Code. The creditors must claim that the debtor owes debts aggregating $10,000 or more and is not paying debts as they come due or has a custodian in possession of the debtor's property.

6. Corporations that are prohibited by the Bankruptcy Code from filing a debtor's bankruptcy petition include railroad, insurance, credit union, and banking corporations. Savings and loan associations also are not permitted to file a debtor’s bankruptcy petition.

The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2006Solutions Manual, Chapter 14 405

7. A creditors’ petition for a bankruptcy liquidation may be filed by three or more “outsider” creditors, having unsecured claims aggregating $10,000 or more, of a debtor with 12 or more unsecured creditors. If there are fewer than 12 unsecured creditors involved, one or more creditors having unsecured claims of $10,000 or more in the aggregate may file the petition.

8. A statement of financial affairs under the Bankruptcy Code is a form filed with a debtor's petition that contains a series of questions answered by the debtor concerning all aspects of the financial condition and operations of the debtor.

9. Debts that have priority over other unsecured debts under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code are as follows:

(1) Administrative costs

(2) Claims arising after the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings under a creditors' petition but before appointment of a trustee or order for relief

(3) Claims for wages and like remuneration not in excess of $4,000 per claimant, earned within 90 days of the filing of the petition

(4) Claims for contributions to employee benefit plans, subject to time and amount limitations

(5) Claims by producers of grain against a grain storage facility or by fishermen against a fish storage or processing facility, not in excess of $4,000 per claimant

(6) Claims for cash deposited for goods or services for the personal, family, or household use of the depositor, not in excess of $1,800 per claimant

(7) Claims for alimony, maintenance, or support of a spouse, former spouse, or child of the debtor, under a separation agreement, divorce decree, or court order

(8) Claims of governmental entities for various taxes or duties, subject to varying time limitations

10. Claims for wages, salaries, and similar compensation earned within 90 days of the filing of the bankruptcy petition and not in excess of $4,000 per claimant, are third in priority among the unsecured liabilities of the debtor that have priority.

11. A bankruptcy trustee may invalidate a preference under provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and recover from the creditor the cash or property constituting the preference, for inclusion in the debtor's estate.

12. A discharge in bankruptcy liquidation proceedings releases the debtor from all unliquidated debts, except for specific debts enumerated in the Bankruptcy Code.

13. The financial statement known as a statement of affairs shows the financial position of a debtor enterprise on a quitting-concern or liquidation basis. The statement is used by the bankruptcy trustee to estimate the cash that will be available to unsecured, nonpriority creditors.

14. Under the accountability method of accounting used by a trustee in a bankruptcy liquidation, the assets and liabilities of a debtor's estate for which the trustee is responsible are entered in the accounting records of the trustee at their statement of affairs valuations, with an offset to a memorandum-type ledger account with a title such as Estate Deficit.

15. An examiner might be appointed for an enterprise that has unsecured liabilities, other than payables for goods, services, or taxes, exceeding $5 million, for which a trustee was not appointed.

16. The Securities and Exchange Commission may review a plan for reorganization and may be heard in the bankruptcy court's consideration of the plan.

17. No, all classes of creditors need not accept a reorganization plan. The bankruptcy court may nonetheless confirm the plan if it is fair and equitable to the nonacceptors.

18. Fresh start reporting for a business enterprise reorganized under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code involves valuing the enterprise's assets and liabilities at current fair values and writing off a retained earnings deficit against additional paid-in capital. Fresh start reporting is appropriate for

The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2006406 Modern Advanced Accounting, 10/e

a reorganized enterprise whose former stockholders no longer control the enterprise; it is essentially a new reporting enterprise.

CASES

Case 14–1 The recognition of an intangible asset “Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets,” sanctioned by paragraph 38 of Statement of Position 90-7, appears to be inconsistent with the definition of assets in Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 6, paragraph 25. The existence of probable future economic benefits related to the reorganization value is questionable, given that the amount recognized for the so-called intangible asset is a residual obtained by subtracting the current fair values assigned to identifiable tangible and intangible assets of the reorganized enterprise from its reorganization value. That value is defined in paragraph 9 of Statement of Position 90-7 as “fair value of the entity before considering liabilities and approximates the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets of the entity immediately after the restructuring.” One would deduce that the assets referred to in the foregoing definition are identifiable assets, not speculative ones. To treat reorganization value essentially the same as acquired goodwill appears to violate the spirit, if not the letter, of FASB Statement No. 142, which requires in paragraph 10 that internally developed unidentifiable assets' costs should be recognized as expenses when incurred. To borrow a portion of the dissent of Robert T. Sprouse to the issuance of FASB Statement No. 87, “ . . . recognition practices [for reorganization value] can be neither reconciled with the [Financial Accounting Standards] Board’s conceptual framework nor readily understood by financial statement users.”

Case 14–2 a. The $25,000 income tax assessment applicable to 2005 generally would be accounted for as a prior period adjustment (correction of an error of a prior period) and debited to the Retained Earnings ledger account. However, the general rule applicable in a reorganization requires that, when material items that should have been adjusted in the restatement of assets and liabilities are found to have been accounted for incorrectly, any corrections subsequently required should be made to additional paid-in capital created in the reorganization. Such corrections should not be considered a part of the earnings accumulated after the reorganization. In "fresh start" accounting for a reorganization, asset carrying amounts should be restated in conformity with estimates of current fair value. Such restatements should include write-ups of values, when justified, as well as write-downs. The income tax assessment applicable to 2005 has no relationship to the earnings of the past six months; the assessment should have been estimated at the time of the reorganization.

b. Because the disposal of the equipment took place within six months of the date of the reorganization, the appraised value on the date of the reorganization seems to have been in error. The gain of $48,000 should have been credited to an additional paid-in capital ledger account, not to the Retained Earnings account.


c. The fire loss of $15,000 should be displayed in the income statement, not debited directly to the Retained Earnings ledger account. The relevant issue, however, is that the loss should not be debited to a paid-in capital account.

d. A declaration of a cash dividend is a proper debit to the Retained Earnings ledger account if the dividend does not exceed the accumulated earnings since the date of reorganization.

e. Net income earned subsequent to a reorganization is credited to the Retained Earnings ledger account; therefore, this item was recorded correctly.

Case 14–3 a. Assets pledged for partially secured liabilities are displayed at both carrying amount and current fair value on the assets side of the statement of affairs. In addition, the current fair value of the assets is deducted from the related partially secured liabilities on the liabilities side of the statement.

b. Unsecured liabilities with priority are displayed at carrying amount and totaled on the liabilities side of the statement of affairs. The total of the liabilities is deducted from the total of the "Estimated amount available" column on the assets side of the statement.

c. Stockholders’ equity is a balancing amount in the “Carrying amount” column of the liabilities and stockholders’ equity side of the statement of affairs.
