A pair of shorts I made the other day. The fabric is something green and stretchy from a trifth store. I used lace for the belt loops, which I think is a nice little detail. The shorts has small pockets in front.
I've made the top too, but I've already showed it here at burdastyle. All the materials for this outfit are second hand. Total cost is around 2-3 euros. I like!

More info can be found at the gallery's website. And here's a little review of the London event.
Halloween Ideals 1976-78 -
3 weeks ago
Having enjoyed the London version of the exhibition I'm really glad it's mobile! I hope the gift-shop aspect goes too; the North East is easier for me to pop back and nab a t-shirt.
My understanding is that they do indeed have a gift shop there as well.

The Carrollwood Villagio Cinemas in Tampa, Florida is set to open on June 6, 2013 according to a posting on their web site. The theater was originally going to open May 30th, but it was delayed due to "modifications," according to their Facebook page.
The location was previously the Carmike Main Street 6, which closed in 2000. The newly opened theater will still offer six screens, but now patrons can enjoy reserved seating, full bar and restaurant service, and deluxe leather power recliner seating.
The new theater will be restricting attendance to those aged 21 and older after 6pm, so you will need a proper ID to be sure of getting in after that time. If you want to have in-theater dining service, you will need to arrive 30 minutes prior to the published showtime.
According to an article published in The Tampa Tribune last September, the theater is being operated by Howard Edelman, who closed the Channelside Cinemas 10 in Tampa on September 25, 2012 after the theater declared bankruptcy and failed to come to terms with the landlord.
We expect to have their showtimes soon, so check out the Showtimes page for Carrollwood Villagio Cinemas to see what's playing and when!

You have one heart to carry you through life. This heart puts feelings in your limbs and pushes energy throughout your body. A healthy heart allows you to play with your kids, chase your dogs and hike through the woods. Without the power supplied by your heart, you would likely live a greatly decreased quality of life.
This muscle pumps thousands of gallons of blood non-stop throughout the body every year. It does a lot for us, and yet many people neglect to care for this vital organ. Perhaps even more alarming is the fact that many of these people think they need to ingest drugs and practice other unnatural habits in order to keep the heart performing at its peak condition. The truth is, though, that you have lots of natural options when it comes to carrying for your heart. Bypass the synthetic drugs and abnormal practices; instead, commit to using these natural remedies for heart health.
First, take a look at your diet. Fresh fruit and vegetables have a lot of potassium, which is good for maintaining low blood pressure. Fiber, which is found in beans, nuts, seeds and whole grains, helps keep cholesterol in check. Essential fatty acids, found in nuts and seeds but also oily fish, helps keep the blood thin; it also aids in weight loss. Limit how much saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol you eat. Select fat-free or low-fat dairy products. Avoid foods that contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Limit your salt intake.
In addition to implementing a heart healthy diet, you need to exercise regularly. Like any muscle, the heart needs a good workout to stay in optimal condition. Lifting weights and maintaining a healthy cardio workout schedule help ensure your heart is getting plenty work. The good news is that exercising is multi-pronged; it helps control blood pressure, prevents diabetes and maintains healthy cholesterol levels. You should also cut out the smoking and cut back on the alcohol; neither of these helps your heart stay in tip-top condition.
Finally, if you feel you need to manage a heart-related condition, look into a natural remedy before running to the pharmacy. Among the many natural "cures" out there are
• Magnesium, which helps to relax blood cells. It also plays a role in maintaining healthy blood pressure.
• Garlic, which also offers a positive effect on blood pressure.
• The amino acid Lysine, which helps the blood vessels remain plaque free, especially when used in combination with vitamin C.
• The B vitamins, which help maintain healthy homocysteine levels in the blood.
Finally, if you come from a family where heart problems are the norm, you might want to get yourself checked out to see where you stand, but this doesn't mean you have to jump on the pharmaceutical bandwagon. Keep in mind that, though genes may play a small part in your health, lifestyle is a major factor, so look at your diet, exercise patterns and health habits before writing off your heart as a lost cause.

Budget losers
Homeland Security
The Bush administration requested $4.43 billion for information technology spending for the Homeland Security Department, an 8 percent increase. A large chunk of the IT dollars would go to expanding existing customs, border, transportation and traveler security programs.
The U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology program, recently launched in airports and seaports, is one program the administration wants to expand to further modernize border management systems and capabilities and integrate databases.
"That program has been very successful, processing more than 900,000 legitimate passengers since the beginning of the year and matching 89 potential entrants against criminal watch lists," said DHS Secretary Tom Ridge during a budget briefing last week.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is working on several technology-related initiatives, including a proposed $64 million expansion of a remote video system along the country's southern and northern borders for enhanced detection and monitoring. Another proposed
$126 million — of which $25 million is new — would help fund Phases I and II and begin Phase III of the Container Security Initiative that seeks to enhance the technological capacity of screeners at foreign ports.
The evolving network-centric warfare doctrine benefited in the administration's request for a $401.7 billion fiscal 2005 budget for the Defense Department, a 5.7 percent increase from $380 billion a year ago.
IT spending accounted for $27.4 billion, up about $3 billon from last year. The request included $9.9 billion for various department agencies, followed by $6.3 billion for the Air Force, $5.7 billion for the Navy and $5.3 billion for the Army.
Officials also requested
$10.8 billion for the science and technology portion of the fiscal 2005 research, development, test and evaluation budget — a $600 million increase from a year ago. Congress ultimately approved $12.1 billion for science and technology in fiscal 2004.
DOD's rapid posting, processing and accessing data and intelligence received a boost for 2005. Officials requested $125 million for network centricity and $52 million for net-centric enterprise services.
The Justice Department would see a 6 percent boost for IT programs, mostly aimed at supporting the fight against terrorism. The $2.2 billion for IT would support programs such as an integrated fingerprint system, consolidated infrastructure initiative and comprehensive terrorist watch list.
One of the largest requested increases is for a project that would merge two fingerprint databases, one from the former Immigration and Naturalization Service and one from the FBI. The administration requested $34 million for the initiative, up from $5.1 million. Justice's inspector general has criticized the initiative, saying it has fallen far behind schedule.
The budget also includes $29 million for the Terrorist Screening Center, which would combine a dozen terrorist watch lists. The administration also asked for $35.5 million for the Terrorist Threat Integration Center, which would enable law enforcement and homeland security officials to share terrorist information.
Spending would also boost the departmentwide unified financial management system, the consolidated infrastructure project and the integrated wireless network to provide secure communications for officials in the Justice, Treasury and Homeland Security departments. The FBI's Trilogy modernization project would get $97.1 million for operation and maintenance.

Hello, I'm Bryan Sides.
I had no idea there were so many of us out there. I once got a mailing from a company that said ours was one of the rarest names in the U.S.A. I guess they never saw this board.
I'm posting to introduce myself. I do Special Effects, and Special makeup effects for the movie industry. I live in LA, with my wife Cathy (goes by (Cat) and we just added a new addition to the Sides family tree. India Noelani Sides born on December 21, 2001 You can see her pics here http://home.earthlink.net/~fxgrunt/India/
(I also do a bit of web designing)
I'm not sure how many of us there are in the movies, but you can see the Sides name in the Nicolas Cage film WindTalkers (I did some work on it) I'm currently the studio coordinator of a Special Effects company. Our website is http://KevinYagher.com
You can contact me anytime at either firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com It's nice to know we all share something in common.

Kent Coast, Unit...
I love this dress, but it was hell to sew. I have no idea what the fabric is, it came from my Grandmother's stash so it could be new or ancient. It frayed, slid and slipped about – thank God for my seam ripper, and as you can see it creases as soon as you look at it. We got there in the end though and I think it was worth it.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – The Iran hostage thriller "Argo" was a surprise best-drama winner at Sunday's Golden Globes, beating out the Civil War epic "Lincoln," which had emerged as an awards-season favorite.
"Argo" also claimed the directing prize for Ben Affleck, a prize that typically bodes well for an Academy Award win – except he missed out on an Oscar nomination this time.
Affleck's now in an unusual position during Hollywood's long awards season, taking home the top filmmaking trophy at the second-highest film honors knowing he does not have a shot at an Oscar.
And the night left "Argo" taking home the top prize at the Globes but standing as a longshot for best picture at the Feb. 24 Oscars, where films almost never win if their directors are not nominated.
In a breathless, rapid-fire speech, Affleck gushed over the names of other nominees presenter Halle Berry had read off: Steven Spielberg for "Lincoln," Ang Lee for "Life of Pi," Kathryn Bigelow for "Zero Dark Thirty" and Quentin Tarantino for "Django Unchained."
"Look, I don't care what the award is. When they put your name next to the names she just read off, it's an extraordinary thing in your life," Affleck said.
"Les Misérables" was named best musical or comedy, while Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway claimed acting prizes.
Besides the three wins for "Les Misérables" and two for "Argo," the show was a mixed bag, with awards spreads around a number of films. "Lincoln" came in leading with seven nominations but lost all but one, for Daniel Day-Lewis as best actor in the title role of "Lincoln."
"If I had this on a timeshare basis with my wonderful gifted colleagues, I might just hope to keep it for one day of the year, and I'd be happy with that," said Day-Lewis, who previously won a Globe for "There Will Be Blood" and is a two-time Oscar winner.
"Zero Dark Thirty" star Jessica Chastain won the Globe for dramatic actress as a CIA agent obsessively pursuing Bin Laden.
Other acting prizes went to Jennifer Lawrence as best musical or comedy actress for the oddball romance "Silver Linings Playbook" and Christoph Waltz as supporting actor for the slave-revenge tale "Django Unchained."
"Les Misérables," the musical based on Victor Hugo's classic novel earned Jackman the Globe for musical or comedy actor as tragic hero Jean Valjean. Hathaway won supporting actress as a single mom forced into prostitution.
Former President Bill Clinton upstaged Hollywood's elite with a surprise appearance to introduce Spielberg's Civil War epic "Lincoln," which was up for best drama. The film chronicles Abraham Lincoln's final months as he tries to end the war and find common ground in Congress to pass the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery.
Lincoln's effort was "forged in a cauldron of both principle and compromise," Clinton said. "This brilliant film shows us how he did it and gives us hope that we can do it again."
Amy Poehler, co-host of the Globes with Tina Fey, gushed afterward, "Wow, what an exciting special guest! That was Hillary Clinton's husband!"

text: ACCOUNTING ASSIGNMENT ONE FALL 1993 Accounting conventions: (a) The going concern convention: assets & liabilities are valued & stated on the presumption that the enterprise will continue in business; (b) The periodic report convention: accrual & deferral basic period is one year ("period costs" are fire insurance, depreciation, interest & rent); & (c) Consistency A. Contra Accounts to an asset is the accumulative credit changes to the asset to which it relates, e.g., accumulated depreciation is the right hand side of the building asset account. (1) Preserves additions in main account intact, & (2) increases flexibility by permitting adjustments of the reductions. Close out contra account if, e.g., sell ans asset (& profit is gain) B. Stockholder's Equity Common Stock Authorized: $ par, # shares Issues & outstanding: # shares Capital Contributed in Excess of Par Retained Earnings Total Stockholder's Equity C. Summary of Bookkeeping Process (a.) (b.) (c.) (d.) D. Make original journal entries, Posting journal entries to ledger (√ in folio), Close expense & revenue accounts to profit & loss account & then to an equity account, Prepare the income statement & the balance sheet. $ $ $ $ Accrual Method Take account of revenues when all conditions precedent to right to receive $ (legal right) have been met & take account of expenses when conditions precedent for a duty to pay $ (legal obligation) have been met [as opposed to "cash receipt method"]. Four Paradigmatic Entries 1. Revenues A. Received but not yet earned = DEFER entry dr. cash cr. deferred revenue B. Earned but not yet received = ACCRUE entry dr. accounts receivable cr. revenue 2. Expenses A. Paid but not yet used = PREPAID entry dr. prepaid expense (e.g. insurance) cr. cash -1- B. Used but not yet paid = ACCURE entry dr. insurance expense cr. account payable E. Bad Debt 1. 2. If using cash receipt method a bad debt would be a non-event b/c haven't recognized revenue (this is a defect in this method b/c can't tell if bad debt or bad business) If using accrual method: a. The charge off method is only permissible way for income tax purposes1 (although whichever year you claim bad debt IRS says in the wrong year). b. The allowance method is preferred by GAAP: relate bad debts to sales which created the receivable by setting up an ADA contra account (no corrective entries if change %). (1) If the actual bad debt shows up (guy says "can't pay the $"): dr. ADA cr. act. rec. (2) If recover all bad debts (guy says "I found the $"): dr. act. rec. cr. ADA dr. cash cr. act. rec. (3) If ADA is wiped out (collect all act. rec.), to restore ADA to income: dr. ADA cr. revenue F. Materiality (in securities law) TSC INDUSTRIES v. NORTHWAY (1976) p. 53 Supreme Court held that an omitted fact is material if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable shareholder would consider it important in deciding how to vote; there must be a substantial likelihood that disclosure would have significantly altered the total mix of information available. BASIC INC. v. LEVINSON (1988) I: When do preliminary merger discussions become material so as to make a misrepresentation a material misrepresentation? R: TSC INDUSTRIES rule. Also, when an event is speculative, must balance probability & magnitude of event; a fact based Q. In contract to these decisions, GAAP is sanctioned approach where materiality is simply a % of pre tax income. This has not, however, been given legal effect & 2d Circuit in SIMON has hinted that it will never be applicable as a rule of thumb. G. 1. INVENTORIES Periodic Inventory Method opening inventory [a debit balance] + purchases Another difference between IRS Code & GAAP is if, e.g., you have a client pay up front & you put the money in a deferred services account, the IRS Code (≈§ 836) requires that this money be counted as income. This is a mandatory discontinuity between income & tax accounting. 1 -2- cost of goods available for sale - closing inventory 1 COGS As goods are purchased, debit a "purchase expense" account. At month end transfer the debit balance into COGS, transfer debit opening inventory (asset) into COGS & reduce COGS by amount of goods still on hand. dr. purchase expense cr. case dr. COGS cr. purchase expense dr. COGS cr. opening inventory dr. closing inventory cr. COGS & then COGS -> income summary. 2. Perpetual Inventory Method Purchases go into "merchandise" (an asset account). Use with art or yacht sales. When sell item for $15 which cost $10 to make: dr. cash cr. sales revenue dr. COGS cr. merchandise & Income Statement: 15 15 10 10 Sales Revenue 15 Less: COGS - 10 Gross Profit on Sales 5 & on Balance Sheet, merchandise is an asset. Inventory is always available because every purchase & sale results in immediate change to merchandise account. 3. In General Sales Revenue Less: COGS in February Opening Inventory Purchases Less: Closing Inventory Gross Profit I. MOXIE PROBLEM Plant financed by a mortgage loan on the warehouse & land. Note secured by the mortgage is payable semiannually at June 30 & December 31 in each year. Interest at the rate of 6% on the unpaid balance is payable on the same dates. Long term mortgage loan payable plus current portion is $243,000. 1 Waste in inventory: since count what is left, anything that is lost, wasted or stolen will be part of COGS -3- In current month, pay $40,000 of principal 29 days into the month. In accruing interest, can accrue: (1) (2) Interest at 6% for one month (.5%) on $243,000 ($1,215), or interest at 6% for 29 days (.467%) on $243,000 ($1,135) plus interest at 6% for 2 days (.032%) on $240,000 ($77) which equals $1,212. SOURCES OF AUTHORITY, THE INCOME CONCEPT, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (ASSIGNMENT TWO) A. SOURCES OF AUTHORITY IN ACCOUNTING ASR 4 (1938) In cases where financial statements filed with this commission pursuant to its rules & regulations under the Securities Act of 1938 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are prepared in accordance with accounting principles for which there is not substantial authoritative support, such financial statements will be presumed to be misleading or inaccurate. In cases where there is a difference of opinion between the Commission & the registrant as to the proper principles of accounting to be followed, disclosure will be accepted in lieu of correction of the financial statements themselves only if the points involved are such that there is substantial authoritative support of the practices followed by the registrant & the position of the Commission has not previously been expressed in rules, regulations or other official releases of the Commission, including the published opinions of its Chief Accountant. Authority for ASR 4? Under the 1933 Act the intending issuer of securities could not sell the securities until the registration statement was filed & then declared effective by the Commission. HISTORY (from Wheat Report, Fifis & Class Notes) (1) American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) appointed the Committee on Accounting Procedure which began issuing Account Research Bulletins (ARB) in 1939. Active for 20 years & issued 46 (51?) ARB bulletins. Problem = Neither AICPA nor SEC took position that ARB were "substantial authoritative support." The AICPA then organized the Accounting Principles Board (APB) to replace the Committee on Accounting Procedure which issued its first opinion in 1964. Published 31 opinions. Problem = Mission was to deal with issues as they became controversial & thus opinions were obviously political compromises (& published dissents) which hurt credibility. 1960's crisis re pooling & purchase. APB opinion 16 (1970) was unsatisfactory, unprincipled & led to ungluing of APB. In 1972, the AICPA appointed Francis Wheat to a committee. In the Wheat Report, Wheat proposed that accounting principles be formed by the a new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) independent of the AICPA whose members would be paid enough so that they need not & would not engage in any other occupation & with an elaborate system of finding to keep it independent of the AICPA & other organizations. Credibility of organization was dependent on its independence. FASB took over from APB in 1973. SEC announced its support of FASB through Accounting Series Release (ASR) 150. See ARTHUR ANDERSON above. ASR 150 declared that "substantial authoritative support" would be construed to mean the official pronouncements of in ARB, by APB & by FASB. 110 FASB standards so far. FASB standards are law of US to reporting companies (2) (3) (4) (5) -4- (which are companies which report to the SEC, i.e., (1) companies listed on stock exchange, or (2) companies with $5 million in assets & 500 stockholders.). Non-reporting companies fall under Rule 203 of the AICPA. THE WHEAT REPORT (1972) Proposes Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF) & Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to be separate from all existing professional bodies. Also Financial Accounting Standards Advisory Council . Superior to present structure: (1) FASB will be free of any private interests which might conflict with the public interest; compact & full-time. (2) Participation by a number of important groups in the standard-setting task; broader base of support. (3) Possible to seek broader financial support. (4) Because of strong link with AICPA, the FASB will continue to command the support of the public accounting profession, essential to enforcement of the standards developed by the FASB. What does "the establishment of accounting principles" mean? Three practical goals: (1) to discourage practices in specific areas which experience indicates might be employed in such a way as to mislead public investors, (2) to encourage practices which could be expected to make financial statements more informative, & (3) to reduce the use of alternative accounting methods not justified by factual or circumstantial differences. The FASB will design "standards" as financial accounting & reporting are not grounded in natural laws, but must rest on a set of conventions or standards designed to achieve what are perceived to be the desired objectives of financial accounting & reporting. ASR 150 (1973) Various Acts of Congress state the authority of the SEC to prescribe the methods to be followed in the preparation of accounts & the form & content of financial statements to be filed under the Acts & the responsibility to assure that investors are furnished with information necessary for informed investment decisions. The SEC endorsed the establishment of the FASB in the belief that the Board would provide an institutional framework which will permit prompt & responsible actions flowing from research & consideration of varying viewpoints... collective experience... commitment of resources. In view of these consideration the SEC intends to continue its policy of looking to the private sector for leadership [Restates ASR 4] For purposes of this policy, principles, standards & practices promulgated by the FASB in its Statements & Interpretations [FN1] will be considered by the SEC as having substantial authoritative support, & those contrary to such promulgations will be considered [FN2] to have no such support. The SEC has the responsibility to assure that investors are provided with adequate information. The Commission staff will continue as it has in the past to take such action on a day-to-day basis as may be appropriate to resolve specific problems of accounting & reporting under the particular factual circumstances involved in filings & reports of individual registrants. FN1. ARBs & effective opinions of the APB should be considered as continuing in force with the same degree of authority except to the extent changed by the FASB. FN2. Rule 203 provides that it is necessary to depart from accounting principles promulgated by the body designated by the [AICPA] if, due to unusual circumstances, failure to do so would result in misleading financial statements. In such a case, the use of other principles may be accepted or required by the [SEC]. Rule 203 of AICPA's Code (1973): -5- A member shall not state affirmatively that statements are in conformity or that he or she is not aware of any material modifications if such statements or data contain any departure from an accounting principle promulgated by bodies designed by Council to establish such principles that has a material effect on the statements or data taken as a whole unless due to unusual circumstances the [data] would otherwise be misleading. But this may be a paper tiger. Major enforcement is the SEC's authority. GASB (Governmental Accounting Standards Board) fixes GAAP for governmental bodies, a sister organization to FASB. Both operate under the Financial Accounting Foundation. FASB has jurisdiction over not-for-profits unless it is a governmental organization (then GASB). ARTHUR ANDERSON & CO. v. SEC (N.D.Ill. 1976) p. 54 F: π seeks a preliminary injunction restraining SEC from enforcing or applying ASRs 150 & 177. H: Preliminary injunction request denied. (1) ASR 4 (1938): Where financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles for which there is no substantial authoritative support, such financial statements will be presumed to be misleading or inaccurate. Where there is a difference of opinion, disclosure will be accepted in lieu of correction. In 1973 AICPA designated the FASB as the body to establish authoritative accounting principles. Then the SEC issued ASR 150 which added to ASR 4: Principles promulgated by the FASB will be considered by the SEC as having substantial authoritative support & those contrary to such promulgations will be considered to have no such support. (2) Only in the most extraordinary circumstances will the public interest be served by the court preempting the legislative judgement of a commission such as the SEC which is charged with protecting the public interest in a specialized area. ASR 177 amends Instruction H(f) of Form 10-Q. H(f) provides that when a business changes an accounting practice, the first 10-Q report files subsequent thereto must include a letter from its CPA indicating whether or not the change is to a principle which in his judgment is preferable. No letter required if change made in response change required by the FASB. B. WHAT IS INCOME? EISNER v. MACOMBER (π) (1920) J. Pitney p. 12 of reading F: January 1916 Standard Oil issued stock dividend of 50% [now called a stock split]. π received 1,100 additional shares, par value $19,877. π called on to pay an income tax based on a supposed income of $19,877. π contends that Revenue Act of 1916 violates the Constitution by including stock dividends as gross income, claims they are not income within the meaning of the 16th Am. I: By virtue of the 16th Am. does Congress have the power to tax as income of the stockholder & without apportionment, a stock dividend made lawfully & in good faith against profits accumulated by the corporation since March 1913? H: "Congress shall have the power to lay & collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, & without regard to any census or enumeration." 16th Am. (1913). What is income? Income derived from property = not a gain accruing to capital, not a growth or increment of value in the investment, but a gain, a profit, something of exchangeable value proceeding from the property, severed from the capital however invested or employed, & coming in, being derived, that is, received or drawn by the recipient (π) for his separate use, benefit & disposal. Can a stock dividend be brought into this definition? No. Need realization. "A stock dividend really takes nothing from the property of the corporation & adds nothing to the interests of the stockholders. Its property is not diminished & their interests are not increased. . . the proportional interest of each shareholder remains the same. The only change is in the evidence which represents that interest, the new shares & the original shares together representing the same proportional -6- interests that the original shares represented before the issue of the new ones." (Only case ever to hold a § of the income tax law unconstitutional.) TODAY the scholarly consensus accepts the existence of congressional power to tax unrealized appreciation w/o apportionment. MACOMBER has not been overruled, but has been confined to its facts: no taxable income is produced by simple pro-rata "common-on-common" stock dividends, in which the stockholder receives shares identical to those producing the dividend & that are not accompanied by a right to elect cash in lieu of stock. Need event of realization for better-off-id-ness? Pitney said yes, but most say no (including Slain). However, if tax non-realized income there are 2 problems (1) where does tax payer get the cash? & (2) how will it be valued? Pitney's opinion is wrong but practical. FRED PELLER v. COMMIS. OF INTERNAL REV. (1955) p. 17 F: π had house built. Actual cost of construction ($101,000) > fair market value ($70,000) > price fixed in contract & paid ($55,000). "Extras" requested by π, errors in construction work & contractor had expected to take a small loss to begin with. IRS says π received income of actual cost minus amount paid ($101-$55). I: Whether π received income by virtue of the construction of a house where the cost of construction & the fair market value materially exceeded the agreed price paid to the contractor. H: Forget actual cost. Need only discuss excess of fair market value of property over amount paid. Is $15,000 income for π? General rule is that the purchase of property for less than its value does not, of itself, give rise to the realization of taxable income. Such realization normally arises, & is taxed, upon sale of other disposition. Exception, e.g., if property is acquired in connection with a bargain purchase (not "at arm's length"). Here no employer-employee relationship from which can infer that that $15,000 is compensatory, nor are there elements of a dividend, nor any other theory from which we may hold income was realized. Although π received more value than he paid for, there was no obligation for anyone to favor contractor in the future. Contractor's action were akin to lavish expenditure for presents or entertaining. Do not consider all bargained purchases as income because not practical. Value based system: theoretically right but will not abandon historical cost as method of valuing because of the huge problems of measuring value. FASB Statement of Concepts #5 § 83.* Revenues & gains of an enterprise are recognized by considering two factors (a) being realized or realizable, & (b) being earned, with sometimes one & sometimes the other being the more important consideration. a. Realized or realizable. Revenues & gains generally are not recognized until realized or realizable. Realized when exchanged for cash. Realizable when related assets received or held are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Readily convertible assets have (i) interchangeable (fungible) units & (ii) quoted prices available in an active market that can rapidly absorb the quantity held by the entity without significantly affecting the price. b. Earned. Revenues are not recognized until earned. Considered earned when the entity has substantially accomplished what it must do to be entitled to the benefits represented by the revenues. For recognizing gains being earned is less significant that being realized or realizable. § 84. List of situations & when to recognize revenue & gains. Slain says § 83 is the best definition of income. -7- Hague-Simon (sp?) definition of income: the algebraic sum of increments to wealth (assets) during some period & value of things consumed during same period. C. TIMES-MIRROR COMPANY CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET (a Classified Balance Sheet) BALANCE SHEET NOTES Inventories are carrier at lower of cost or market & are determined under the FIFO method for books & certain finished produced, & under LIFO method (which approximates current cost) for newsprint, paper, lumber, logs & certain other inventories. LIFO reserve reported (amount inventory would be if LIFO has been used exclusively). Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method for buildings, machinery & equipment Goodwill is being amortized over a period of 40 years. Goodwill arising from business combinations consummated prior to 1970 is not being amortized because, in the opinion of management, it has not diminished in value. Interest cost was incurred, & part of it was capitalized. Timberlands less depletion consist of (1) owned plus (2) capitalized timber harvesting rights. CLASS NOTES (1) Consolidated Balance Sheet: All subsidiaries folded into this balance sheet. 50% + one share means it is yours. Any way to know whether subsidiaries are wholly or less than wholly owned? Yes. Look at shareholder's equity. "Minority interest" (the net equity of minority owners all grossed together) would show up if any not wholly owned. Remember: LIFO means a more accurate income statement & FIFO means a more accurate balance sheet. SEC requires company to disclose the LIFO reserve. Current Assets: All likely to change in to cash in the operating cycle (here 114 days). The operating cycle is the time it takes to turn inventory into cash (buy materials & sell product). Why do we care? Current liabilities are due & payable within one year (or within operating cycle if it is > one year, rare). Current Assets = Current Liabilities a RATIO which tells us whether they can pay their debts when they become due (2) (3) The ratio is only meaningful re other ratios in particular industries (e.g. in construction want a negative ratio & in machine tools want a 5 or 6) & becomes less meaningful when companies have multiproduct lines (T-M ratio of 1.6 is meaningless). Creditor want ratio as high as possible. Shareholders & investors want it more even: want low because, e.g., don't make $ owning accounts receivable or inventory & want high because want creditors to extend trade credit. (4) Deferred credit = Unearned income -8- CAPITAL STRUCTURE (ASSIGNMENT THREE) A. LEGAL CAPITAL & DIVIDENDS Creditors ordinarily cannot recover from shareholders if corporation does not pay creditor's claim. THUS creditors have an interest in avoiding the corporation's impairing its ability to pay by distributing its assets to its shareholders. Dividends are declared by the board of directors (elected by shareholders) so interests of creditors may require protection. Also, when have common & preferred stockholders (common typically controls election of directors) preferred stockholders may require protection. THUS various restrictions on corporate dividends. Statutory limitations are full of loopholes. Creditors rely on contractual limitations. Model Business Corporation Act (MBCA) adopted by about 15 states (not Delaware). (1) BASIS RULES Par value had to be paid as a minimum for each share issueD. Par is an arbitrary value fixed by articles of incorporation & amendable usually by majority vote of directors & shareholders. Par is usually fixed at (a) a very low figure, or (b) zero. No-par stock must have a stated value. MBCA (1980) eliminated the requirement that shares be issued with par or stated value & that consideration received for initial issuance be other than "adequate." Since no minimum price there can be no "watered stock" liability for issuing shares below an arbitrarily fixed price. dr. Cash cr. (A) Capital Stock (10 shares com. stock $1 par) cr. (B) Capital Contributed in Excess of Par 95 10 85 (A) = stated capital, sometimes legal capital (B) = capital surplus (A) & (B) = capital, although sometimes (A) & (B) = legal capital & RE = earned surplus (2) LIMITATIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS p. 370 Dividends or other voluntary distributions should not be paid to shareholders if the result would be to reduce the corporation's net assets below the aggregate par or states value of the issued shares. WOOD (1824) (J. Story). Concept ("trust fund concept") is that capital of corporation is to be preserved for the benefit of creditors (& preferred stockholders). A cushion of legal capital. USELESS though: (1) can have low par or stated value--laws permit distribution of capital surplus & earned surplus (MBCA abandons this charade), & (2) can reduce legal capital without creditor's approval. THUS creditors do not rely on statutory protection against shareholder distributions. Dividend statutes employ one or more of the following statutory schemes: (1) Balance Sheet Test Statutes. A test based on the effects on the balance sheet & having legal capital as a basic term, e.g., a statute prohibiting distribution if net assets remaining would be less than legal capital. SEE §§ 170 & 154 of the Delaware Code below (problem is that assets & liabilities are undefined). SEE also MBCA § 6.40 (c) & (d) below. -9- (2) Nimble Dividends Statutes. Permits dividends out of recent earnings. § 170 of the Delaware Code (SEE below) alternatively allows for payment of dividends out of the current or prior year's earnings. "In case there shall be no surplus, dividends may be paid out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared & or the preceding fiscal year." This negates any real interest in protection of creditors, however, a corporation that has accumulated large deficits & has heavy burden of unpaid debt would have no prospect of obtaining further credit unless new equity capital could be attracted & under this statute, it can if corporation earns a current profit. (3) Earned Surplus or Income Statement Statutes. Prohibits distribution except out of accumulated earnings. California Code § 500 (SEE below) "No distribution unless the amount of the RE [earned surplus] immediately prior thereto equals or exceeds the amount of the proposed distribution." This protects creditors & shareholders by protecting shareholder contributed capital (both legal & surplus). Concept is that shareholders invest in a business & do not wish to receive back part of their capital investment as dividends or to have any other class of shareholders receive it (w/o notice or vote). MANNING p. 377 Legal capital schemes embedded in the nation's corporation acts are inherently doomed: (1) Loopholes. (2) Decision-making & control is in hands of shareholders. (3) Stated capital is a wholly arbitrary number unrelated in any way to any relevant economic facts. (4) Not a principled system, why limit distributions using stated capital amount? (5) No time dimension. (6) Leads to expenditure of energy in stupid ways, the by-product of the primitiveness & essential irrelevance of the legal capital system. (7) Statutes have crazy loops e.g. nimble dividend statutes allow companies with heavily impaired legal capital to make payments to shareholders (& more p. 379); evidence of the quintessential triviality of the system lies in the fact that any corporation lawyer of moderate skill can nearly always arrange things so as to make the distribution. (8) Can be a trap for lawyers not familiar with the arcana of legal capital. Q = whether anything more is needed than a simple insolvency statutes (all Massachusetts has). (4) Insolvency Test Statutes & the Revised MBCA. Prohibition of distributions while insolvent or which would result in insolvency. Some states do not have an insolvency statute, e.g. Delaware. Insolvency in the equity sense (the inability to pay debts as they fall due in the usual course of business) versus insolvency in the bankruptcy sense (excess of liabilities over assets). MBCA uses both an insolvency test, using insolvency in both the equity & bankruptcy sense as the threshold for payment of dividends. SEE MBCA § 6.40 (c) & (d) below. N.Y.B.C.L § 510 (a) Corporation may pay dividends except when currently insolvent or would thereby be made insolvent. (b) Dividends may be declared or paid out of surplus only, so that the net assets of the corporation remaining after such distribution shall at least equal the amount of its stated capital. (c) Notice requirement. N.Y.B.C.L § 102 (6) Earned surplus means the portion of the surplus that represents the net earnings, gains or profits, after deduction of all losses, that have not been distributed to the shareholders as dividends, or -10- (8) (9) (12) (13) transferred to stated capital or capital surplus, or applied to other purposes permitted by law. Unrealized appreciation of assets is not included in earned surplus. Insolvent means being unable to pay debts as they become due in the usual course of the debtor's business [i.e. insolvency in the equity sense]. Net assets means the amount by which the total assets exceed the total liabilities. Stated capital & surplus are not liabilities. Stated capital means the sum of (A) the par value of all shares with par value that have been issued, (B) the amount of the consideration received for all shares without par value that have been issued, except such part of the consideration therefor as may have been allocated to surplus in a manner permitted by law, & (C) such amounts not included in clauses (A) & (B) as have been transferred to stated capital, whether upon the distribution of shares or otherwise, minus all reductions from such sums as have been effected in a manner permitted by law. Surplus means excess of net assets over stated capital. Total Assets - Total Liabilities = Net Assets Net Assets - Stated Capital = Surplus Q. Can directors increase stated capital by own actions? Can make transfers within shareholders equity, i.e. if had big RE & no money might transfer $ from RE to stated capital to reduce pressure to give dividends. Del. Gen. Corp. L. § 170 (a) May pay dividends either (1) out of its surplus, as defined in § 154, or (2) in case there shall be no surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared &/or the preceding fiscal year. FIFIS says that § 170(a)(1) allows dividends upon the share of its capital stock out of its surplus. Also SEE FIFIS above on §170(a)(2) ("nimble dividends"). § 170(a)(1) = § 510(b). § 170(a)(2) means can declare dividends when no surplus, as long as have earnings; e.g., if stated capital = $1,000 & if last year assets minus liabilities = <$2,000> (RE) & this year assets minus liabilities = <$1,000> then can declare a dividend of up to $1,000. Although there is a limit, see end of § 170(a). If RE too low no one will buy the stock. 30 states have statutes like this. Del. Gen. Corp. L. § 154 Part of consideration shall be capital. If shares have par value, amount determined to be capital shall be in excess of the aggregate par value of the shares. If all shares have the same par value, amount determined to be capital need only be equal to the aggregate par value of the shares. Directors must specify within 60 days of issuance. . . Capital of the corporation may be increased by resolution of the board of directors directing that a portion of the net assets be transferred to the capital account. The excess if any at any given time of the net assets over the amount determined to be capital shall be surplus. Net assets means the amount by which total assets exceed total liabilities. FIFIS says § 154 defines surplus as: Assets Less: Liabilities (exclusive of equity) Equals: Net Assets Less: Legal Capital Equals: Surplus available for dividends Calif. Corp. Code §§ -11- 114. All must be done in conformity with GAAP. [That is, can't make up RE.] 205 All authorized shares of a corporation shall be deemed to have a nominal or par value of one dollar per share. All references to financial statements mean consolidated statements. [In FIFIS, p. 364, it says that consolidated financial statements meaningless in determining surplus available for dividends & share repurchases.] 166. Distribution to its shareholders includes: 500. A corporation shall not make any distribution to the shareholders unless: (a) The amount of the RE immediately prior thereto equals or exceeds the amount of the proposed distribution; or (b) Immediately after giving effect thereto: (1) The sum of the assets of the corporation (exclusive of goodwill...) would be at least equal to 125% it liabilities (not including...); & (2) The current assets would be at least equal to its current liabilities or, if the average of the earnings before taxes on income [lots of details, see Statute in readings] SEE FIFIS above re § 500. 501. Shall not make any distribution if corporation is or as a result thereof would be likely to be unable to meets its liabilities as they mature. 507. Notice requirement. This abolishes concept of par value & stated capital. § 500 has nothing do to with stated capital. Buys into GAAP. When GAAP changes, the dividend statute changes. MBCA § 6.40 (c) No distribution may be made if, after giving it effect: (1) the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (2) the corporation's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. (d) The board of directors may base a determination that a distribution is not prohibited under (c) either on financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices & principles that are reasonable in the circumstances or on a fair valuation or other method that is reasonable in the circumstances. SLAIN said official comment to § 6.40(d) said GAAP not required. B. THE RELATIONSHIP TO GAAP COX v. LEAHY (N.Y. 1924) Trustee in bankruptcy sought to recover the loss sustained by the corporation or its creditors by the declaration & payment of a 50% dividend. Under § 28 directors shall not make dividends except from surplus profits nor shall they divide any part of the capital of such corporation or reduce its capital stock; in case of any violation, directors shall jointly & severally be liable to such corporation & to the creditors thereof to the full amount of any loss sustained by such corporation or its creditors respectively by reason of such withdrawal, division or reduction. "Capital of such corporation" means property capital. Property accumulated by the corporation in excess of its capital stock at par constitutes "surplus profits". Liability = dividend paid in excess of surplus profits. Issue = a few items in the statement of assets & liabilities. Prepaid insurance is an ASSET; it has an actual value belonging to the company. Prepaid taxes are not an asset; not available for a refund. COX uses the balance sheet test. Underlying issue is that must keep capital intact. -12- Income = that which may be consumed during a period while leaving the owner "as well off" (to preserve capital) at the end of the period as he was at the beginning. Dividend law related in sense that dividends are considered appropriate only it either out of income or not out of its complement, capital. FIFIS Financial capital = a measurement of the capital of a corporation by the monetary value of the contributions of the shareholders; money value invested by share owners not the physical capital. If this amount is maintained, the rest is income. [Physical capital requires that assets aggregating the initial productive capacity of the business remain unimpaired.] COX favored financial measures of capital by expressly permitting distribution of capital (defined as physical capital) to the extent of "surplus profits" (defined as property in excess of its capital stock at par); rejected any notion of preserving the physical capital. (FIFIS, p. 384) APB 6 § 17 Property, plant & equipment should not be written up by an entity to reflect appraisal, market or current values which are above cost to the entity. . . . Whenever appreciation has been recorded on the books, income should be charged with depreciation computed on the written up amounts. [BUT SEE RANDALL.] Mr. Davidson agrees only because he feels that current measurement techniques are inadequate. RANDALL v. BAILEY (N.Y. 1940) p. 387 F: π (trustee) sued former directors under bankruptcy act to recover amount of dividends paid. Although there was a surplus on the books π claims that there was no surplus, that the capital was actually impaired to an amount greater than the dividends & that the directors are personally liable to the corporation for the amount thereof. ∆ claims there was a surplus even greater than amount shown on books. π claims (1) improper to write-up the land values above cost & thereby take unrealized appreciation into account, & (2) improper not to write-down to actual value the cost of investments in & advances to subsidiaries & thereby fail to take unrealized depreciation into account. Land written up twice to amount at which it was assessed for taxation. I: Should fixed assets be computed at cost or value for dividend purposes? H: § 58 found to include appreciation in the value of property purchases whether realized or unrealized. In Cox unrealized appreciation in land values actually was taken into account in determining whether or not dividends had been improperly paid. Brandeis also said that surplus may consist of increases resulting from a revaluation of fixed assets. Edwards. Unrealized appreciation & unrealized depreciation must be considered, i.e., in determining whether or not the value of the assets exceeds the debts & the liability to stockholders, all assets must be taken at their actual value. Not impossible or unfeasible for directors to consider whether cost of assets continues over a long period of years to reflect value. SLAIN say Randell is still good law in New York. SEE N.Y.B.C.L § 102(a) in which "unrealized appreciation" is not excluded from definitions of capital surplus in (2) or "surplus" in (13); legislature is capable of excluding it, see (6), so exclusion from other sections is intentional. BUT SEE APB 6. Two objections to writing up assets: (1) subjective, judgmental, not an objective event, & (2) what is meant by "value"? All ways of measuring value are inexact. Ways to determine the value of property: (a) Fair market value (what you can sell it for) but this is difficult because may be unique etc. (b) Present discounted value of income can anticipate getting out of land for your period of ownership, "anticipated income stream." This method lead to a lot of bankruptcies in the 1980's. (c) What it would cost to get comparable assets similar in use & services, cost of similar replacement assets (good if old business is run poorly & you want to do something different). -13- Cost based system with income derived from cost won't be changes to value because value is inherently unreliable (although theoretically more accurate re income). Physical capital ≈ moving accounting to a value based system. C. STOCK DIVIDENDS & STOCK SPLITS N.Y. Stock Exchange: Company Manual § 703.02 (a) Stock Splits. When properly timed, serves as an excellent means of generating greater investor interest. Long-term holders may sell some which will add liquidity & broaden the shareholder base. Next to the financial condition of the security, liquidity is the most important element in investment decisions. Liquidity is measured by the relative ease & promptness with which a security may be traded with a minimum price change from the previous transaction. Accordingly, a further objective of a stock split is to lower the market price sufficiently to broaden marketability. Consideration of a stock split is justified (1) when a company's shares are selling at a relatively high price, (2) when such action is accompanied by healthy operating results & a strong financial condition & (3) when anticipated growth as evidences by a steady increase in earnings, dividends, book value & revenue. Should do a stock split of at least 2 for 1. If conditions do not indicate clearly that such a split is warranted, it is questionable whether they warrant any stock split at all. (If have a few or more smaller splits, splits are in effect periodic stock dividends to which the accounting requirements of the Exchange's stock dividends policy apply.) Exchange won't allow split when company has widely fluctuating earnings, rapidly rising stock prices without a record of high stock prices, or a split which may result in an abnormally low price range for the stock. NOTE: A 2 for 1 stock split never results in a 50% price drop because the market anticipates it & more people are out there to buy shares up. (b) Stock Dividends. Companies may prefer to pay dividends in stock rather than in cash, particularly when substantial part of earnings in retained by company for use in its business. • Stock Dividend = Distribution of < 25% of the outstanding shares as calculated prior to the distribution. • Stock Split = Distribution of 100% or more of the outstanding shares of the outstanding shares as calculated prior to the distribution. • Partial Stock Split = Distribution of 25% or more but less than 100% of the outstanding shares as calculated prior to the distribution. Accounting treatment: (1) Stock Dividend. Capitalize retained earnings for the fair market value of the additional shares to be issued. Fair market value should approximate the current share market price adjusted to give effect to the distribution. [NOTE: That is, you must dr. RE if issue a stock dividend. SEE ARB 43 ¶ 10.] (2) Stock Split. Transfer from paid-in capital (surplus) for the par or stated value of the shares issued unless there is to be a change in the par or stated value. (3) Partial Stock Split. ARB 43, Chapter 7B Stock Dividends & Stock Split-ups § 1. Stock Dividend = An issuance by a corporation of its own common shares to its common shareholders without consideration & under conditions indicating that such action is prompted mainly by a desire to give the recipient shareholders some ostensibly separate evidence of a part of their respective interests in accumulated corporate earnings without distribution of case or other property which the directors deem desirable to retain in the business. § 2. Stock Split-Up = An issuance by a corporation of its own common shares to its common shareholders without consideration & under conditions indicating that such action is prompted mainly by a -14- desire to increase the number of outstanding shares for the purpose of effecting a reduction in their unit market price & thereby of obtaining wider distribution & improved marketability if the shares. PROBLEMS OF THE RECIPIENT § 7. Income. Arguments for recognizing stock dividends as income are also arguments for the recognition of corporate income as income to the shareholder as it accrues to the corporation (& would require the abandonment of the separate entity concept of corporate accounting). § 8. Are stock dividends income? Pitney in Macomber said no. SEE quote in Macomber (above). § 9. Since shareholder's interest remains unchanged (number of shares constituting that interest just went up) so cost should be allocated equitably to total shares held. When later disposed of, a gain or loss should be determined on the adjusted cost per share. PROBLEMS OF THE ISSUER, STOCK DIVIDENDS § 10. Although corporation's assets & shareholder's interest do not change, most see as a dividend equivalent to fair market value of the shares received (because the number of shares issues is small in comparison with shares previously outstanding).* THUS corporation should in the public interest account for the transaction by transferring from earned surplus to the category of permanent capitalization (capital stock & capital surplus accounts) an amount equal to the fair value of the additional shares issued. * Value of 110 shares should be same as 100 because same % of ownership, but if dividend is small enough the value of 110 > 100 because the market doesn't notice. § 11. If number is so great (greater than about 20-25%, according to 13.) that it has the effect of materially reducing the share market value there is no need to capitalize earned surplus other than to the extent occasioned by legal requirements. In such instances should avoid the word dividend & instead say split-up effected in the form of a dividend. [N.Y. Stock Exchange § 703.02 said same thing.] § 12. With closely held corporations, no need to capitalize earned surplus other than to meet legal requirements. § 14. Although 10. will probably result in capitalization of more than that legally required (usually par value or an amount within discretion of directors), the laws do not prevent the capitalization of a larger amount per share. PROBLEMS OF THE ISSUER, STOCK SPLIT-UPS § 15. Where intent of stock split-up is clearly for purpose of effecting a reduction in the unit market price of the shares & thus wider distribution & improved marketability (see 2.) then no transfer from earned surplus to capital surplus is required other than to the extent required by law. Most likely will be greater than 20-25% but also consider corporation's representations to its shareholders (16.). DISSENT: Wilcox believes that stock dividends should be regarded as marking the point at which corporate income is to be recognized by shareholders, & denies that the arguments favoring this view are in substance arguments for the recognition of corporate income as income to the shareholder as it accrues to the corporation. ARB 43 applies only to public companies (not private or closely held companies). Difference between stock dividend & stock split (in Stock Exchange Memo & ARB) are tremendously imprecise. FIFIS (1) Accounting Treatment by the Recipient: Common stock dividend distributed pro rata to common stockholders is not income to them, same piece of pie. Why do corporations do it & stockholders enjoy it then? Corporation can increase stockholders' equity to support an expanding business. And with constant tax rate, stockholders better off receiving stock dividend & selling it than they would be if just received cash. SEE p. 427 Fifis. -15- (2) Accounting Treatment by the User: Corporation must credit capital stock account with par or stated value of shares issued ($) & debit some capital surplus or earned surplus account in a like sum: dr. Earned Surplus (RE) cr. Capital Stock (Stated Capital) $ $ SEC: Codification of Financial Reporting Policies § 214 Under present GAPP if the ratio of distribution is < 25% of the shares of the same class outstanding, the fair value of the shares issued must be transferred from RE to other capital accounts. Failure to make this transfer in connection with a distribution or making a distribution in the absence of retained or current earnings is evidence of misleading practice. If there is a question of whether the condition of the business warrants the distribution, a further investigation will be conducted to determine whether such distribution may be part of a manipulative of fraudulent scheme. INTEREST & PRESENT VALUE (ASSIGNMENT FOUR) O'SHEA v. RIVERWAY TOWING (7th Cir. 1982) J. Posner F: π was cook on tugboat who fell & broke her leg. District court found ∆ negligent & awarded π damages. Q: How to account for inflation in computing lost future wages? H: (1) No error to conclude π was not more than 50% likely to find another job. (2) Fact that job was π's first & she'd worked there less than one year did not preclude an award of damages. (4) Although district court judge should have set for steps by which he reached the damage award, error not reversible because award was reasonable. (3) Inflation should be treated consistently in choosing a discount rate & in estimating future lost wages to be discounted to present value (PV) using that rate, since it is illogical & indefensible to build inflation into the discount rate yet ignore it in calculating the lost future wages desired to be discounted. (∆ argued that could not take inflation into account when projecting future wages but ∆ wanted inflation taken into account when discounting total amount to PV.) Two ways to deal with inflation when computing the OV of lost future wages: (a) take it out of both wages & discount rate, or (b) use as higher discount rate based on the current risk-free 10 year interest rate but apply that rate to an estimate of lost future wages that includes expected inflation. Either way is fine. Don't need to know future interest rates. Need PV of an annuity from which π can draw $7,200 (her current salary) for 12 years. But $7,200 would probably have gone up over the 12 years (inflation, merit raises & productivity dividend). Economist gave π 6 or 8% raise per year & discounts back to PV using 8.5%: Discount rate = 3% real interest + 5.5% inflation. Raise = 5.5% inflation + .5 or 2.5% increase independent of inflation. Posner says okay since.5 or 2.5% is below the inflation rate. (Productivity dividend may be about 3% so discount rate & raise may both be about 8.5%.) PRESENT VALUE MEMORANDUM (Slain) -16- 1. Casualty insurers developed concept of STRUCTURED SETTLEMENT. Take π's claim & assign probabilities to amounts of recovery & add it up (amount multiplied by probability) to find amount that ∆ ought to be willing to settle for (e.g. $135,000). Since $135,000 is lower than what π is asking for, ∆ "sweetens" the offer: ∆ offers to pay π $275,000 at a rate of $13,750 per year for 20 years, one payment on the one year anniversary of the settlement date & one on each of the succeeding 19 anniversaries. A fund of $135,000 invested at 8%, from which one payment is drawn at the end of each year in the amount of $13,750, will be exactly exhausted by the 20th payment. SEE p. 12 of reading for chart of fund over 20 years. TAXES. Before the Tax Reform Act of 1986, ∆ (on accrual method) could deduct the entire stream of payments ($275,000) in the year of the settlement agreement (multiply $275,000 by the tax rate). A change in the interest rate would change PV but not the income tax deduction. This is no longer available as of 1986. The π's benefit (still) from a structured settlement in that all payments are tax free (as damages under § 104). If π received full amount, it would be tax free (§ 104) but the earnings of the fund would be included in gross income for tax purposes. 2. COMPOUND INTEREST CALCULATIONS A. Present Value of a Future Amount (Present Value Discounted) SEE TABLE 1. Future Value of $1 F = PV n (1+R) B. Future Value of a Present Amount (Future Value Compounded) SEE TABLE 2. Present Value of $1 FV = P(1+R)n C. Annuities = a series of equal payments made at equal intervals (e.g. structured settlement) Could determine PV of each of the payments & then add them. OR could add the 1-20 entries under 8% in TABLE 2. OR could use TABLE 4. TABLE 3. Future Value of an Annuity of $1 in Arrears TABLE 4. Present Value of an Annuity of $1 in Arrears 3. ANNUITY IN ADVANCE = e.g. in structured settlement above, the first payment would be due on date of settlement & the other 19 on the following anniversaries. PV is increased by the difference between the PV of the first payment in the annuity in advance & the last payment of the annuity in arrears; that is, PV of $13,750 now minus PV of $13,750 in 20 years at 8%. TO DO WITH TABLE 4, take the PV for one less period (PV in 19 years at 8%) & add 1. 4. If interest is compounded more or less often than yearly, then change n & R. E.g. if interest is 8% & is compounded semi-annually for 20 years, let the number of periods (n) equal 40 & let the interest rate for each period (R) equal 4%. 8% = the annual or nominal rate 4% = the effective rate or yield. -17- 4. PERPETUITIES Pay interest regularly & forever. The entire value is the PV of the interest payments (the PV of the principal is zero). To value, could (a) value the income for as many years into the future as seems worthwhile. A more common approach to perpetuity evaluation is a process called (b) capitalizing income: price willing to pay equals the annual income from the investment divided by the demanded rate of return. Price 125,000 = = Annual Income Demanded Rate of Return 10,000 8% i.e., the asset is selling at 12 & 1/2 times earnings (price earnings ratio) PURE INTEREST is the premium for postponed gratification. Posner in O'SHEA says this is 3% but it has moved around over the years & is now much lower. INTEREST = Pure interest + inflation + risk of nonpayment (can isolate out risk of nonpayment by using U.S. one-year Treasury notes). PROBLEM A How much would a 30 year $10,000 ("face value") at 10% bond cost in a 12% world? Bonds are contracts, with 2 contractual rights: (1) (2) Right to receive $10,000 in 30 years The PV of $10,000 in 30 years at 12% (TABLE 2)= $333.80 10% interest ($1,000) paid once a year (an ANUITY) $1,000 for 30 years at 12% (TABLE 4) = $8,055.18 $8,055.18 + 333.80 = $8389 BUT $1,000 ÷ 8,389 = 11.92%. In order to get 12% would need yearly payments of $1,006.67. This discrepancy is made up when 30 years are up & you surrender the bond for $10,000. You receive $10,000 & you paid $8,389, which is $1,611 more. The $1,611 is the DISCOUNT. The future value of a $6.67 annuity (TABLE 3) is $1,611; the $1,611 is thus, in effect, additional interest received as a lump sum at end. Bond discounts are implicit in the transaction. "Yield to maturity" is 12% & "current yield" is 11.92% PROBLEM B Starting at age 70 you will retire & need $100,000 a year for the next 20 years; you are 60 now & R = 3% (1) What do you need at age 70? The present value of a 20 year annuity at 3% of $100,000 in arrears: $100,000 x 14.87747 (TABLE 4) = $1,487,747 How much do you need to put in for ten years to end up with that amount? The future value ($1,487,747) of a 10 year annuity at 3% of $____ in arrears: (2) -18- $___ x 11.46388 (TABLE 3) = $1,487,747 $___ = $129,776 By using 3% we treated inflation consistently & even though all in 1993 dollars, the end result will self-adjust (you will be getting a higher rate of return on money in fund because of inflation so the $100,000 a year will go up to adjust for inflation) unless sudden surge of inflation close to retirement. PROBLEM C (1) Cost $200,000 plus $100,000 in one year $100,000 x 86.957 (TABLE 2) = $86,957 equals a total cost of $286,957. (2) Return (a) What is value of $50,000 for 20 years starting in 3 years? PV of 20 year annuity at 15% of $50,000? $50,000 x 6.25933 (TABLE 4) = $312,966 PV of $312,966 three years in future at 15%? $312,966 x .65752 (TABLE 2) = $205,781 (b) What is value of $300,000 in 23 years at 15%? n = 23 is not listed in TABLE 1, so either multiply the n = 22 & n = 1 numbers to determine the correct multiplier or do them consecutively: $300,000 x (.04629 x .86957) = $12,075 or $300,000 x .04629 = $13,887 $13,887 x .86957 = $12,075 (3) $217,856 (RETURN) minus $286,957 (COST) = <69,101>; not a wise investment. If rate of return was 6%, however, you would make a profit, which shows that in an inflationary environment need to make profit quick or will never see it. Problem with this? 15% has an inflationary assumption built into it but our calculation of the income flow did not have an inflationary assumption built in. We were assuming inflation but did not assume that COGS would increase with inflation. Solution = to adjust $50,000 per year to include inflation or take inflation out of the 15%. This model ("THE CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL") has been used for a long time & has lead to many poor investment decisions. PROBLEM E: A Defeasance Transaction S&L owns a $20,000,000 in H.F. junk bond with 20% coupons & 20 years to maturity. H.F. wants to lower interest it is paying to the S&L. Possible DEAL = H.F. buys a $20,000,000 U.S. zero-coupon bond with 20 -19- year maturity to pledge to the S & L as collateral for payment of the junk bond at maturity. Current interest rate demanded on market for such U.S. bonds is 8%. In exchange for collateralizing the junk bond, the S&L would reduce the interest rate on bonds to 8%. H.F. current cost of money is 12%. Amount of H.F. savings? (a) (b) Cost of $20,000,000 zero coupon 20 year bond at 8%? $20,000,000 x .21455 (TABLE 2) = $4,291,000 Savings? 20% minus 8% = 12% a year re the $20,000,000 12% of $20,000,000 = $2,400,000 savings each year on interest payments What's the PV of a $2,400,000 annuity at 12%? $2,400,000 x 7.46944 (TABLE 4)= $17,926,656 Also save the PV of paying principal of junk bond PV of $20,000,000 in 20 years at 12%? $20,000,000 x .10367 (TABLE 2) = $2,073,400 (c) $17,926,656 (SAVINGS) minus $4,291,000 + 2,073,400 (COST) equals $11,562,256; a terrific deal for H.F. On H.F.'s balance sheet, can take the principal off the balance sheet but FASB said must then include the PV of the interest payments on the balance sheet. 1 1 -20-
