Brief Exercise 7–16
Logitech would account for the transfer as a secured borrowing. The receivables
remain on the company’s books and a liability is recorded for the amount borrowed
plus the bank’s fee.
Brief Exercise 7–17
Under IFRS Huling would treat this transaction as a secured borrowing, because
it retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. Under U.S. GAAP
Huling would treat this transaction as a sale, because it has transferred control. Note,
however, that in practice we would typically expect for the entity that has the risks and
rewards of ownership to also have control over the assets, so we would expect these
criteria to usually lead to the same accounting.
