March 4, 2015	Hello everyone, welcome to POA II. I am teaching both section 1 and 8. Instead of keeping two iSpace sections, I am providing material and discussion forum here so that both sections will have the same information.

March 7, 2015	The mid-term test will be a common mid-term for all the sections to be held on Saturday on April 18, 2015 from 9:15 am to 10:45 am (1.5 hours). Chapters 12, 13, and 14 are being tested. No make-up test will be available.

March 9, 2015	I will post the answer to the two practice questions very soon.

March 12, 2015	I will be submitting an application to change class time to Friday afternoon from 12pm to 3pm and then 3pm to 6pm. If you are in the Saturday class now and you cannot attend the rescheduled class time of Friday afternoons, please email me ASAP.

March 15, 2015	As mentioned in class, there were request to move the classes to Friday afternoon. After checking with AR, now there are rooms available for classes to be held from noon to 6pm Friday afternoons. The deadline for me to submit the application to change class time is Tuesday, March 17 afternoon. We have also discussed the several days that we had to do make up classes on Saturdays because one of the Fridays being a holiday and also the long weekend reasons. As a result, if you have reservations about changing the class time from Saturdays to Fridays please email me and let me know before 3pm March 17 for me to consider. I do not know how long it will take the DBM to approve the schedule change and AR to confirm the classrooms for Fridays, hence let's set to have class this Friday afternoon and Saturday as scheduled before for both days. Regardless of the schedule change, one of the two days can be considered a make up class to account for both the mid-term test being on Saturday and for having a long weekend for the week of April 3. Section 8's class will be held at C301 from 12pm to 3pm, and Section 1's class will be held at D408 from 3pm to 6pm. Both classes are progressing at the same pace and you can attend either session for your covenience.

March 17, 2015	I have not heard back from anyone regarding NOT wanting to reschedule the class to Friday afternoon, so I have submitted the application to DBM. Hence there will be classes this Friday as described above from March 15. We will also have a make up class on Saturday to account for a combination of several reasons like having a Friday holiday and getting a long weekend for the Eastern holiday. The make up class on Saturday will be in the same room and same time as before the reschedule.

March 19, 2015	I have received confirmation for the room booking for Friday March 20th classes. For Section 8 from 12pm to 3pm, the confirmed classroom is now E202. For Section 1 from 4pm to 7pm, the confirmed classroom is now C209. (We asked for 3pm to 6pm but only found out late this afternoon that only 4pm to 7pm is available, however, you can come to the 12pm to 3pm session).

March 20, 2015	For Section 8 from 12pm to 3pm, the confirmed classroom is now E202. For Section 1 from 4pm to 7pm, the confirmed classroom is now C209. (We asked for 3pm to 6pm but only found out late this afternoon that only 4pm to 7pm is available, however, you can come to the 12pm to 3pm session).

March 20, 2015	The following topics are not covered within the assessments
	Chapter 12 Liquidation of Partnership (p. 473 – 475), Chapter 13 Reporting of Equity – OCI & Changes in Equity (p. 506 – 508), Chapter 14 Bond Pricing (p. 543 – 544), Chapter 17 Ratio Analysis (p. 664 – 674), Chapter 21 Evaluating Investment Centre Performance and Responsibility Accounting (p. 839 – 843) Chapter 22 Multi-product Break-Even Point (p. 887 – 889), All appendixes, and All "Decision Analysis" part in each chapter.

March 21, 2015	I have added the ppt version of the chapter slides below in case some slides you cannot see middle information in between the slide transformation. In addition, I have updated the pdf version of the slides to the current edition.

March 22, 2015	Due to schedule conflict, our application for a class time change to Friday was not successful. Hence all remaining classes are to be held on Saturdays except for Saturday April 4. The make up class for April 4 was held on Friday March 20.

March 22, 2015	Reminder: assignment due next Saturday, you would have to submit the assignment to your TA Rachel directly. During class yesterday, several person told me that they have no group. If you do not have a partner for the assignment, please let me know ASAP so I can try to match you with someone who is available.

April 12, 2015	Reminder: mid-term is next Saturday April 18. If you have any questions, please email me and I will post answer here. The mid-term is being held from 9:15 am to 10:45 am for 1.5 hours. The exact location will be communicated to you during the coming week.
	The chapter 14 practice question #4 on Legacy that I have posted in the last class shows calculation at both premium and discount when issued, please review to ensure that you can do both types.

April 13, 2015	The common mid-term review for all the sessions and mid-term location and time. We will be in B201 at 9:15 am. Please be on time.

April 26, 2015	Class time amendments as follows:
	May 23 Saturday Chapter 21 - I will be away that day, two make up class time available and you can come to either one
	May 23 made up session 1 = Sunday May 10 am (exact time and classroom to be confirmed once booking confirmed)
	May 23 made up session 2 = Sunday May 17 am (exact time and classroom to be confirmed once booking confirmed)
	you can decide which day to come but need to come to either session 1 or 2, both sessions will be the same
	to summarize, no class on May 23, but two make up sessions available on May 10 morning and May 17 morning, you can come to May 10 or May 17

	May 2 - May 1 is a holiday but May 2 we still have class; however, if you want to go home for the long weekend, there is a make up class that you can attend if you miss class on May 2
	May 2 made up session = Sunday May 10 afternoon (exact time and classroom to be confirmed once booking confirmed)
	to summarize, May 2 class no change but if you do not come to class on May 2, a make up session is available on May 10 in the afternoon

May 2, 2015	Reminder: Assignment 2 due next Saturday.

May 2, 2015	Make up class time has been changed.
	May 2 class on Chapter 18. If you were not able to attend the May 2 class, a make up class is available on Sunday May 10, 2015 from 12pm to 3pm at C301 (confirmed). We will cover the same topics of ratios in Chapter 17 and Chapter 18.

	May 23 no class, but I have rescheduled the two available make up class times into one weekend to avoid having students having different stage of progress between the chapters. The make up class times are:
	Friday May 8 from 6pm to 9pm classroom to be confirmed, and Sunday May 10 from 9am to 12pm at C301 (confirmed). You will only need to attend one of these two sessions as they will cover the same material.

May 6, 2015	Friday May 8 from 6pm to 9pm there is one session available as a make up class for May 23 lecture. Classroom is to be confirmed yet but the session will be available for certain. The other make up class for May 23 lecture is on Sunday May 10 from 9am to 12pm at C301.
	On Sunday May 10 there is a make up session for those that did not attend the lecture on May 2. It will be held on Sunday May 10 from 12pm to 3pm at C301.

May 6, 2015	Please be aware that the assignment is due this coming Friday per Rachel's email.

May 6, 2015	Rachel had posted your mid-term mark in iSpace. I will have the mid-term scripts with me for the classes this weekend. You can review your script either during the break, before, or after class time.

May 6, 2015	For all the sessions for POA 2, suggested solutions for the current edition were provided to all the other classes. As such, I am also adhering to the other classes and here are the suggested solutions to the assigned practice questions for all the previous chapters for the current edition of the textbook. Going forward, the suggested solutions will be provided after each Chapter when it is taught.
	Suggested solutions for the current edition textbook practice questions:
	Chapter 12 suggested solution, Chapter 13 suggested solution, Chapter 14 suggested solution,
	Chapter 16 suggested solution, Chapter 17 suggested solution, Chapter 18 suggested solution,

May 6, 2015	I have received two questions on the homework.
	1.when there is a loss of fair value adjustment, whether to dr. loss on investment or unrealized loss-equity? What is the difference between them?
	2.In the book P580-581, the entry in Dec.31. In 31/12/11, there was a loss about 3000, but the entry recorded 7000-3000 is 4000. They are all loss, why it use the last loss 7000 and the now loss 3000 to get the 4000? And the 4000 is the positive?
	Answer:
	1. For a loss of fair value adjustment (that would mean that the investment is marked to market either under "Held For Trading" type or under "Available For Sale" type), it would depend on which type the investment it is classified under. If the investment is a "Held For Trading" type, then the loss is named "Loss on Investment" and is put under the normal income statement as a loss for the current year as part of the firm's operation, then this loss is transferred to retained earning through the income summary adjustment at year end. If the investment is a "Available For Sale" type investment, then the loss is named unrealized loss - equity, and it is put under part of comprehensive income (which is a separate part below the normal income statement to show non-operation related items) and then adjusted to a Loss account near the retained earning at year end. The book did not go through in details how to record these two types of transaction because they are part of more advanced accounting, hence there can be confusion between the way these two types are recorded and shown and discussed in this chapter. Generally, if it is under Held For Trading, the name of the account would be just called loss, if under Available For Sale, it will be named unrealized loss or gain. Unfortunately, the book used both names interchangeably throughout the chapter.
	2. You have the same issue with the last practice question (for the assignment also). As mentioned above, if Held For Trading, any gain or loss are treated like a gain or loss for the year for the firm. But for Available For Sale, any gain or loss are considered unrealized and they are kept in that Fair Value Adjustment and Unrealized Loss - Equity account. And instead of doing individual adjustment for each investment, the total amount of adjustment is used from year to year. So in summary, they just check what adjustment is needed each year to make the Fair Vale Adjustment account correct so that the total market value of the Available For Sale Investment is reflected in the balance sheet. Hence in p 580 for 2010, the total value of the Available For Sale investments had decreased by 7000 (loss) so the adjustment for 7000 is made to make the total market value of the Available For Sale same as market value. For 2010, there is no need to checked 2009's Available For Sale because there was not any as stated in the beginning of the question. Then in p 581 for 2011, another adjustment had to be made. For this year, the Available For Sale investment need to be reduced by 3000 to make it market value (unrealized loss of 3000). But when we then check the Fair Value Adjustment account, there is a 7000 loss balance in there from 2010, hence, we would reduce it by 4000 (the current year's entry) such that it only shows 3000 in that account. Hence the 4000 in the journal entry in 2011 is to make the Fair Value Adjustment fit the 3000 ending balance requirement. (This is done with one step for the Fair Value Adjustment account; alternatively, you can do a two step of reversing last year's 7000 journal entry and then putting in a 3000 for this year). If it is not clear, please let me know again during class and I will go through this on a GL which should be more clear.

May 18, 2015	I will post a few more practice questions on cash flow statement and CVP later on.

May 20, 2015	Question on efficiency ratios:
	1. Is the receivable is always comes up with net sale, and payable always comes up with COGS? Please give reasons,thanks.
	2. For the ratio: Days' sales in inventory. It is measured the liquidity of inventory, but I dont understand why it use the ending inventory to divid the COGS? What is the relationship between them? I cant find the logic so I dont think I can use them well as you said that you didn't need to remember.(embarrassed...) So would you tell me about the logic again?
	3. Also about the Days' purchases in a/p ratio. Still can not understand why use a/p to divide COGS.(is about purchase but why it use COGS?)
	Answer:
	1. In all three sets of inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable calculation of turnover times and turnover days, the numbers used in the equation should be consistent. When you record to accounts receivable, it is from a customer buying on credit and the purchase is based on net sales (actually net credit sales), hence sales is used in the calculation of the accounts receivable turnover time and turnover days. For inventory and accounts payable turnover calculations, they are both based on cost of the inventory, hence CGS is used in the formula for inventory and accounts payable.
	2. If you remember my example in class ofselling one iphone 6 one at a time, buying another one to sell after the first one sell, and so on for one year to derive the rationale of turnover times and turnover days. The same rationale can be used to come to the given formula in the book for a general condition to calculate the turnover times and days. Whether ending or average (average of beginning and ending) inventory, accounts receivable, or accounts payable is used can varies between books. Most important is that if there is big changes in the balance between beginning and ending of the year, then average should be used. Otherwise, there is not much difference between ending or average balances that are used in the formula. It would be difficult to reproduce the example I have done in class here, please review more and then we can go through that example again on May 30.
	3. See 1. above.

May 23, 2015	[ratio practice question 3, ratio practice question 4]
	The first two ratio practice questions were provided on April 26.

May 25, 2015	Question on fixed and variable costs:
	The exercise in chapter18, question 3, the second question: compute the manufacturing cost per durm set. The answer is divided into variable cost and fixed cost, and the fixed cost it does not add up the salary and wages. Is it because salary and wages are not he manufacturing cost? Can you explain?
	Answer:
	In the calculation of the manufacturing cost, only the wages for the factory workers are included. The upper management salary and account staff salaries are fixed costs or mixed costs; however, they are not part of the manufacturing cost since they do not relate to the manfacturing process.

May 31, 2015	The answer to the practice questions that we have done in class is provided below under the Lecture Review section.
	In addition, there were some questions about the treatment of the commission / service charge for the purchase and sale of securities of investments under Trading and Available For Sale securities in Chapter 15. The textbook had treated the commission differently between Trading and Available For Sale by capitalizing the commission for Trading (adding it to the cost of the purchase like we have done in class) and expensing the commission for Available For Sale (expensing the commission in the income statement when incurred) in the various practice questions. The conclusion is that marks will be awarded with either treatment of the commission.
