Bonds: borrowers’ cash flows
At issuance (Time 0), borrower receives cash in exchange for bonds. Issue price equals present value of future cash flows. Pays periodic interest at the coupon rate. 1 2 3 4 5 At maturity, pays principal amount. LOS. Determine the initial recognition and measurement and subsequent measurement of bonds. Pages 606–610 The slide illustrates the timing of the borrowers’ bond-related cash flows. At Time 0 (at issuance), the bond issuer receives cash in exchange for issuing the bond. Subsequently, the issuer pays periodic interest at the coupon rate. At maturity, the issuer pays the principal owed. Bonds are contractual promises made by a company (or other borrowing entity) to pay cash in the future to its lenders (bondholders) in exchange for receiving cash in the present. The terms of a bond contract are contained in a document called an “indenture.” The cash or sales proceeds received by a company when it issues bonds is based on the value (price) of the bonds at the time of issue; the price at the time of issue is determined as the present value of the future cash payments promised by the company in the bond agreement. Ordinarily, bonds contain promises of two types of future cash payments: 1) the face value of the bonds, and 2) periodic interest payments. The face value of the bonds is the amount of cash payable by the company to the bondholders when the bonds mature. The face value is also referred to as the principal, par value, stated value, or maturity value. The date of maturity of the bonds (the date on which the face value is paid to bondholders) is stated in the bond contract and typically is a number of years in the future. Periodic interest payments are made based on the interest rate promised in the bond contract applied to the bonds’ face value. The interest rate promised in the contract, which is the rate used to calculate the periodic interest payments, is referred to as the coupon rate, nominal rate, or stated rate. Similarly, the periodic interest payment is referred to as the coupon payment or simply the coupon. For fixed rate bonds (the primary focus of our discussion here), the coupon rate remains unchanged throughout the life of the bonds. The frequency with which interest payments are made is also stated in the bond contract. For example, bonds paying interest semiannually will make two interest payments per year.

Determining the value of a bond: example
Assumptions about the debt instrument (the bond): Principal = $1,000; Coupon interest rate = 10%; Maturity = 5 years Future cash flows for a five-year, 10% bond, $1,000 principal. Payments include periodic interest payments and principal payment. The market value of a bond is equal to the present value of its future cash flows. Discount each payment at the appropriate discount rate LOS. Determine the initial recognition and measurement and subsequent measurement of bonds. Pages 606–618 Terminology : Usually bond refers to a debt instrument with original maturity greater than 10 years; note is a debt instrument with original maturity greater than 1 year, less than or equal to 10 years; and bill is a debt instrument with original maturity less than 1 year. Here, we use the term bond because the accounting treatment is similar for bonds and notes. PV = ? Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

Accounting for debt by the issuer: example
Assumptions about the bond: Principal = $1,000. Coupon interest rate: Stated or contractual rate of interest to be paid to the bondholders = 10%, annual. Maturity = 5 years. Assumption about the debt market on the day of valuing: Market rate (yield or effective rate): Return the market demands on that bond on day we are valuing it = 10%. For simplicity, assume a flat interest rate yield curve. LOS. Determine the initial recognition and measurement and subsequent measurement of bonds. Pages 606–618 The market rate is the rate at which the future cash flows are discounted. For simplicity, these examples assume a flat interest rate yield curve (i.e., that the market rate of interest is the same for each period). More-precise bond valuations use the interest rate applicable to each time period in which a payment of interest or principal occurs. Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

Accounting for debt: example
Principal = $1,000; Coupon interest rate = 10%; Maturity = 5 years. Market rate on the day we are valuing the bond = 10%. Bond will be issued at par (i.e., 100% of face value). PV = FV/[(1+i)n] Time Interest Payment Principal Payment Total Payment Present Value of Total Payment 1 100 - 91 2 83 3 75 4 68 5 1,000 1,100 683 Total 500 1,500 LOS. Determine the initial recognition and measurement and subsequent measurement of bonds. Pages 606–618 The slide illustrates the initial measurement of the bond’s value based on the assumptions given. The sum of the present value of the total payments is $1,000. Calculating the value of the bonds at issuance and thus the sales proceeds involves three steps: (1) identifying key features of the bonds and the market interest rate, (2) determining future cash outflows, and (3) discounting the future cash flows to the present (sum of the present value of the future payments of interest and principal). As shown, because the market rate is equal to the coupon interest rate, the bonds will be issued at par (i.e. at 100% of face value). Ignoring issuance costs, the issuing company will receive sales proceeds (cash) equal to the face value of the bonds. Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

Issuer’s Accounting for debt at issuance: example

Pages 606–620 The slide shows the year-by-year effect on the issuer’s balance sheet, summarizing the previous slides. In the first year, cash (an asset) increases and bonds (a liability) increase. In the following years, at each interest payment, cash (an asset) decreases and an interest expense is recorded. (An interest expense appears as a negative in this spreadsheet because it reduces owners’ equity; expenses reduce net income, which, in turn, reduce retained earnings.)

Discount or premium on bonds
Often, the contractual interest rate and the market rate differ. Therefore, bonds sell above or below face value. Coupon Rate Market Rate (examples) Bonds Sell At a 10% 8% Premium Par 12% Discount LOS. Determine the initial recognition and measurement and subsequent measurement of bonds. LOS. Discuss the effective interest method and calculate interest expense, amortization of bond discounts/premiums, and interest payments. Pages 606–618 When a bond is issued at a price equal to its face value, as in this example, the bond is said to have been issued at par. If the coupon rate on the bonds is higher than the market rate when the bonds are issued, the market value of the bonds and thus the amount of cash the company receives will be higher than the face value of the bonds. In other words, the bonds will sell at a premium to face value because they are offering an attractive coupon rate compared with current market rates. If the coupon rate is lower than the market rate, the market value and thus the sale proceeds from the bonds will be less than the face value of the bonds; the bond will sell at a discount to face value.

Issuer’s Accounting for bonds issued at a discount
Principal = $1,000; Coupon interest rate = 10%, paid annually; Maturity = 5 years. Return the market demands on the bond on the day we are valuing it = 12%. Issued at 92.8 (i.e., 92.8% of face value). At issuance, cash increases by $928 and bonds payable increases by $1,000. What do we do with the difference? We show it as a discount to bonds payable. LOS. Determine the initial recognition and measurement and subsequent measurement of bonds. LOS. Discuss the effective interest method and calculate interest expense, amortization of bond discounts/premiums, and interest payments. Pages 606–618 Assume that the market rate on the bond on day we are valuing it = 12%. The present value of the future cash flows discounted at 12% is $ , rounded to $928. On a financial calculator, FV = $100, n = 5 years, I = 12%, PMT = $10. Solve for present value (PV), which equals –$ Multiply % by face value. Or, FV = $1,000, n = 5 years, I = 12%, PMT = $100. Solve for PV, which equals $ The sales proceeds of the bonds when issued are $928. The bonds sell at a discount of $72 ($1,000 – $928) because the market rate when the bonds are issued (12%) is greater than the bonds’ coupon rate (10%). At issuance, reflected on the balance sheet as an increase of cash and an increase in a long-term liability, bonds payable, of $928. The bonds payable is composed of the face value of $1,000 minus a discount of $72. The bond discount is shown with a negative sign because it is a contra-liability. Issuer’s journal entry: Debit cash ($928), debit discount on bonds payable ($72), credit bonds payable ($1,000).

Discuss the effective interest method and calculate interest expense, amortization of bond discounts/premiums, and interest payments. Pages 606–618 The market rate at the time of issuance is the effective interest rate or borrowing rate that the company incurs on the debt. The effective interest rate is the discount rate that equates the present value of the two types of promised future cash payments to their selling price. For the issuer, interest expense reported for the bonds in the financial statements is based on the effective interest rate. Each year, the cash interest payment is calculated as Principal × Coupon rate × Time. For every year, the calculation is $1,000 × 10% × 1 year = $100. Each year, the interest expense is calculated as the Carrying value × Effective rate × Time. For the first year, the calculation is $928 × 12% × 1 year = $111. Each year, the amortization of the discount is calculated as Interest expense – Cash interest payment. For the first year, the amount of discount amortized is $111 – $100 = $11.

Pages 606–618 In Year 2, the cash interest payment is still $100. In Year 2, the carrying value is now $928 plus $11 = $939. Each year, the interest expense is calculated as the Carrying value × Effective rate × Time, so the interest expense equals $939 × 12% = $112.68, or $113. Each year, the amortization of the discount is calculated as Interest expense – cash interest payment. For Year 2, the amount of discount amortized is $113 – $100 = $13.

Issuer’s Accounting for bond issued at a premium
Principal = $1,000; Coupon interest rate = 10%, paid annually; Maturity = 5 years. Return the market demands on the bond on the day we are valuing it = 8%. Issued at 108 (i.e., 108% of face value). At issuance, cash increases by $1080 and bonds payable increases by $1,000. What do we do with the difference? We show it as a premium to bonds payable. LOS.

Pages 606–618 Assumption about the debt market on the day of valuing: Market rate for the bond on the day we are valuing it = 8%. The present value of the future cash flows discounted at 8% are $1,080 (rounded). On financial calculator, FV = $1,000, PMT = $100, i = 8%, n = 5 years. Solve for PV, which equals –$ Or FV = $100, n = 5 years, i = 8%, PMT = $10. Solve for PV, which equals –$ Multiply face value by %. The sales proceeds of the bonds when issued are $1,080. The bonds sell at a premium of $80 because the market rate when the bonds are issued (8%) is less than the bonds’ coupon rate (10%). At issuance, reflected on the balance sheet as an increase of cash and an increase in a long-term liability, bonds payable of $1,080. The bonds payable is composed of the face value of $1,000 plus a premium of $80. The bond premium account is an adjunct account. It increases the carrying value of the bonds payable. Issuer’s journal entry: Debit cash ($1080), credit bonds payable ($1,000), and credit premium on bonds payable ($80).

Discuss the effective interest method and calculate interest expense, amortization of bond discounts/premiums, and interest payments. Pages 606–618 The table shows cash, discount, and interest expense over all five years. The bond premium is an adjunct account. Each year, the cash interest payment is calculated as Principal × Coupon rate × Time. For every year, the calculation is $1,000 × 10% × 1 year = $100. Each year, the interest expense is calculated as the Carrying value × Effective rate × Time. For the first year, the calculation is $1,080 times 8% × 1 year = $86. Each year, the amortization of the premium is calculated as Cash interest payment – Interest expense. For the first year, the amount of premium amortized is $100 – $86 = $14. By end of five years, the balance in the premium account is $0, so the carrying value of the bonds payable equals the face value. Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

Bond Prices Subsequent to Issuance
Bonds may be issued: At face value. Below face value: discount. Above face value: premium. Subsequent to issuance, bonds may trade at face value, at a discount, or at a premium depending on the market rates at that time. Changes in value subsequent to issuance do not affect the value of the bond on the issuer’s statement unless the issuer has chosen the fair value option (much less common). LOS.

Payment of bonds May be redeemed at maturity or before maturity
A firm may decide to retire bonds early To reduce interest costs or to remove debt from balance sheet But only if it has sufficient cash To account for retiring bonds early Eliminate carrying value of bonds at redemption date Record cash paid Recognize gain or loss on redemption Gain or loss on bond repurchase = Net bonds payable − Repurchase payment Amount of repurchase payment will depend on market rates at the time of repurchase LOS. Discuss the derecognition of debt. Pages 618–620 Once bonds are issued, a company may leave the bonds outstanding until maturity or redeem the bonds before maturity either by calling the bonds (if the bond issue includes a call provision) or by purchasing the bonds in the open market. If the bonds remain outstanding until the maturity date, the company pays bondholders the face value of the bonds at maturity. The discount or premium on the bonds would be fully amortized at maturity; the carrying amount would equal face value. Upon repayment, bonds payable is reduced by the carrying amount at maturity (face value) of the bonds and cash is reduced by an equal amount. Repayment of the bonds appears in the statement of cash flows as a financing cash outflow. If a company decides to redeem bonds before maturity and thus extinguish the liability early, bonds payable is reduced by the carrying amount of the redeemed bonds. The difference between the cash required to redeem the bonds and the carrying amount of the bonds is a gain or loss on the extinguishment of debt. Under IFRS, debt issuance costs are included in the measurement of the liability and are thus part of its carrying amount. Under U.S. GAAP, debt issuance costs are accounted for separately from bonds payable and are amortized over the life of the bonds. Any unamortized debt issuance costs must be written off at the time of redemption and included in the gain or loss on debt extinguishment. Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

debt covenants Covenants protect creditors by restricting activities of the borrower. Affirmative covenants Negative covenants If a borrower violates a debt covenant, depending on the severity of the breach and the terms of the contract, lenders may choose to waive the covenant, be entitled to a penalty payment or higher interest rate, renegotiate, or call for immediate repayment of the debt. LOS. Explain the role of debt covenants in protecting creditors. Pages 621–622 Borrowing agreements (the bond indenture) often include restrictions called “covenants” that protect creditors by restricting activities of the borrower. Debt covenants benefit borrowers to the extent that they lower the risk to the creditors and thus reduce the cost of borrowing. Affirmative covenants restrict the borrower’s activities by requiring certain actions (e.g., may require that the borrower maintain certain financial ratios above a specified amount or perform regular maintenance on real assets used as collateral). Negative covenants require that the borrower not take certain actions (e.g., may restrict the borrower’s ability to invest, pay dividends, or make other operating and strategic decisions that might adversely affect the company’s ability to pay interest and principal). Common covenants: Limitations on how borrowed monies can be used, maintenance of collateral pledged as security (if any), restrictions on future borrowings, requirements that limit dividends, and requirements to meet specific working capital requirements. Covenants may also specify minimum acceptable levels of financial ratios, such as debt to equity, current, or interest coverage. If a company violates a debt covenant, it is a breach of contract. Depending on the severity of the breach and the terms of the contract, lenders may choose to waive the covenant, be entitled to a penalty payment or higher interest rate, renegotiate, or call for payment of the debt.

Issuer’s Note disclosures relating to debt
Brief excerpt from Note 5 of Colgate Palmolive’s 2011 financial statements. LOS. Discuss the financial statement presentation of and disclosures relating to debt. Pages 622–625 Notes to the financial statements provide more information on the types and nature of a company’s debt. These note disclosures can be used to determine the amount and timing of future cash outflows. The notes generally include stated and effective interest rates, maturity dates, restrictions imposed by creditors (covenants), and collateral pledged (if any). The amount of scheduled debt repayments for the next five years also is shown in the notes. The slide shows a brief excerpt from Note 5 of Colgate Palmolive’s 2011 financial statements. Most of the company’s long-term debt is in the form of notes due between 2012 and 2078. The note discloses that “Commercial paper is classified as long-term debt as the Company has the intent and ability to refinance such obligations on a long-term basis.” Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

Leases Leasing an asset is an alternative to purchasing.
Rather than borrowing and buying the asset, a company arranges to lease the asset. Advantages to leasing an asset compared with purchasing it: Leases can provide less costly financing; usually require little, if any, down payment; and are often at fixed interest rates. The negotiated lease contract may contain less restrictive provisions than other forms of borrowing. Leasing can reduce the risks of obsolescence, residual value, and disposition to the lessee. Certain types of leases have perceived financial reporting advantages. LOS. Discuss the motivations for leasing assets instead of purchasing them. LOS. Distinguish between a finance lease and an operating lease from the perspectives of the lessor and the lessee. Pages 625–644 There are several advantages to leasing an asset compared with purchasing it. Leases can provide less costly financing; they usually require little, if any, down payment and often are at lower fixed interest rates than those incurred if the asset was purchased. This financing advantage is the result of the lessor having advantages over the lessee and/or another lender. The lessor may be in a better position to take advantage of tax benefits of ownership, such as depreciation and interest. The lessor may be better able to value and bear the risks associated with ownership, such as obsolescence, residual value, and disposition of asset. The lessor may enjoy economies of scale for servicing assets. As a result of these advantages, the lessor may offer attractive lease terms and leasing the asset may be less costly for the lessee than owning the asset. Further, the negotiated lease contract may contain less-restrictive provisions than other forms of borrowing. Companies also use certain types of leases because of perceived financial reporting and tax advantages. Although they provide a form of financing, certain types of leases are not shown as debt on the balance sheet. Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

Leases There are two main classifications of leases: finance (or capital) and operating leases. “Finance lease” is IFRS terminology, and “capital lease” is U.S. GAAP terminology. A lessee treats capital leases as on-balance-sheet obligations. A lessee does not show operating leases on the balance sheet. LOS. Discuss the motivations for leasing assets instead of purchasing them. LOS. Distinguish between a finance lease and an operating lease from the perspectives of the lessor and the lessee. Pages 625–644 There are two main classifications of leases: finance (or capital) and operating leases. The economic substance of a finance (or capital) lease is very different from an operating lease, as are the implications of each for the financial statements of the lessee and lessor. In substance, a finance (capital) lease is equivalent to the purchase of some asset (lease to own) by the buyer (lessee) that is directly financed by the seller (lessor). An operating lease is an agreement allowing the lessee to use some asset for a period of time, essentially a rental. “Finance lease” is IFRS terminology, and “capital lease” is U.S. GAAP terminology.

Pages 625–644 The slide summarizes the financial statement impact of finance leases on the lessor when the present value of lease payments = carrying amount of leased asset. U.S. GAAP distinguish between a direct financing lease and a sales-type lease, but IFRS do not. The accounting is the same for IFRS and U.S. GAAP despite this additional classification under U.S. GAAP. If providing leases is part of a company’s normal business activity, the cash flows related to the leases are classified as operating cash. Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

Lessee’s Lease disclosures: example
LOS. Compare and contrast the disclosures relating to finance and operating leases. Pages 625–644 The slide shows an excerpt from Note 10 of Starbuck’s 2011 financial statements. Disclosures include rental expense and future commitments under noncancellable operating leases. Analysts typically consider noncancellable operating lease obligations as equivalent to on-balance-sheet obligations and use information from footnote disclosures to make adjustments. (The methodology for this adjustment is discussed in other readings.) Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

Lessee’s Lease disclosures: example
“We have subleases related to certain of our operating leases. During fiscal 2011, 2010, and 2009, we recognized sublease income of $13.7 million, $10.9 million, and $7.1 million, respectively.” “We had capital lease obligations of $1.4 million and $2.6 million as of October 2, 2011, and October 3, 2010, respectively. Capital lease obligations expire at various dates, with the latest maturity in The current portion of the total obligation is included in other accrued liabilities and the remaining long-term portion is included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Assets held under capital leases are included in net property, plant, and equipment on the consolidated balance sheets.” LOS. Compare and contrast the disclosures relating to finance and operating leases. Pages 625–644 The slide shows the remaining portion of Note 10 of Starbuck’s 2011 financial statements. Disclosures explain that the capital lease obligation is shown as a liability (current and long-term portions, separately) and as an asset under property, plant, and equipment (PP&E). Disclosure highlights that capital leases are equivalent to owning the asset. Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

types of postemployment benefits: pension plans
Amount of Future Benefit to Employee Contribution from Employer Defined contribution pension plan Depends on investment performance of plan assets Amount (if any) is defined in each period Defined benefit pension plan Defined based on plan’s formula Depends on current period estimate and investment performance of plan assets LOS. Describe defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans. Pages 644–648 Pension plans may be either defined contribution or defined benefit. Under a defined contribution (DC) pension plan, specific defined contributions are made to an employee’s pension plan by employer (and employee). Typically, an individual account is established for each participating employee and the accounts are invested through a financial intermediary, such as an investment management company or an insurance company. The amount of future benefit depends on the future value of the plan’s assets, which depends on the performance of the investments within the plan. Gains or losses on those investments accrue to the employee. Under a defined benefit (DB) pension plan, the amount of pension benefit to be provided is defined, usually by reference to age, years of service, compensation, and so on. For example, a DB pension plan may provide for the retiree to be paid, annually until death, an amount equal to x percent of the final year’s salary times the number of years of service.

presentation and disclosure for pension plans
Type of Pension Plan Balance Sheet Income Statement Footnote Disclosure Defined contribution None Company's contribution Minimal Defined benefit Net funded position Periodic expense Extensive LOS. Describe defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans. LOS. Compare and contrast the presentation and disclosure of defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans. Pages 644–648 For a defined contribution plan: Balance sheet: There is typically no liability (“None”); however, if some portion of the agreed-upon amount has not been paid by fiscal year-end, a liability would be recognized on the balance sheet. The only other impact on the balance sheet is a decrease in cash. Income statement: The agreed-upon company contribution is the pension expense. The amount paid (contributed to the plan) is treated as an operating cash outflow. Footnote disclosure is minimal. For a defined benefit plan: Balance sheet: The net funded position (with adjustments in some circumstances) is shown on the balance sheet. The net funded position is the net of estimated future pension obligation minus pension fund assets. Income statement: The pension expense reflects the increase in the estimated future pension obligation, net of earnings on the pension assets. Footnote disclosure is extensive, including information on pension fund asset allocation, breakdown of periodic pension expense, assumptions used in estimating future pension obligation, and so on.

leverage and coverage ratios
Solvency: Company’s ability to meet its long-term debt obligations. Two types of commonly used solvency ratios: Leverage ratios Focus on the balance sheet Measure relative amount of debt in the company’s capital structure Coverage ratios Focus on the income statement and cash flows Measure the ability of a company to cover its debt- related payments LOS. Calculate and interpret leverage and coverage ratios. Pages 648–651 Solvency refers to a company’s ability to meet its long-term debt obligations, including both principal and interest payments. In evaluating a company’s solvency, ratio analyses can provide information about the relative amount of debt in the company’s capital structure (using leverage ratios) and the adequacy of earnings and cash flow to cover interest expense and other fixed charges (such as lease or rental payments) as they come due (using coverage ratios). Ratios are useful to evaluate a company’s performance over time compared with the performance of other companies and industry norms. Ratio analysis has the advantage of allowing the comparison of companies regardless of their size and reporting currency. The two primary types of solvency ratios are leverage ratios and coverage ratios. Leverage ratios focus on the balance sheet and measure the extent to which a company uses liabilities rather than equity to finance its assets. Generally, higher implies a greater proportion of debt in capital structure and thus greater risk and weaker in terms of solvency. But it must be evaluated in the context of optimal capital structure. Coverage ratios focus on the income statement and cash flows and measure the ability of a company to cover its debt-related payments. Higher implies a greater capacity to cover interest charges and thus stronger in terms of solvency. Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

Evaluating Solvency Ratios
Nokia (€ millions) Ericsson (SEK millions) 2008 2007 Short-term borrowings 3,578 714 1,639 2,831 Current portion of long-term interest bearing debt 13 173 3,903 3,068 Long-term interest bearing debt 861 203 24,939 21,320 Total shareholders’ equity 14,208 14,773 140,823 134,112 Total assets 39,582 37,599 285,684 245,117 EBIT 4,966 7,985 16,252 30,646 Interest payments 155 59 1,689 1,513 LOS. Calculate and interpret leverage and coverage ratios. Pages 648–651 For Nokia Debt to assets for 2008: 11.2% = (3, )/39,582. Debt to assets for 2007: 2.9% = ( )/37,599. For Ericsson Debt to assets for 2008: 10.7% = (1,639+3,903+24,939)/(285,684). Debt to assets for 2007: 11.1% = (2,831+3,068+21,320)/(245,117). Nokia’s leverage ratios all increased from 2007 to 2008, suggesting weakening solvency. Comparing debt year to year, we observe that leverage ratios increased because of a significant increase in short-term borrowings and an increase in long-term interest bearing debt without a similar increase in shareholders’ equity. In fact, shareholders’ equity declined. On the other hand, Ericsson’s leverage ratios appear fairly similar for 2007 and During 2008, it appears as though Ericsson shifted away from short-term borrowings to long-term debt. In 2007, all three of Nokia’s leverage ratios (not shown on slide) were lower than Ericsson’s. In 2008, the opposite was true. Ericsson’s capital structure seems fairly constant over the two years, whereas Nokia’s capital structure has shifted toward more debt. Debt to assets for 2008: 11.2%. Debt to assets for 2007: 2.9%. Debt to assets for 2008: 10.7%. Debt to assets for 2007: 11.1%. Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

Calculate and interpret leverage and coverage ratios. Pages 64–651 For Nokia Interest coverage ratio for 2008: 32.0 = (4,966/155). Interest coverage ratio for 2007: = (7,985/59). For Ericsson Interest coverage ratio for 2008: 9.6 = (16,252/1,689). Interest coverage ratio for 2007: 20.3 = (30,646/1,513). Nokia’s interest coverage ratio decreased from 2007 to 2008 because of a decrease in EBIT and an increase in interest payments. Even with the decrease, Nokia appears to have sufficient operating earnings to cover interest payments. Similarly, Ericsson’s interest coverage ratio decreased from 2007 to 2008, primarily because of a decrease in EBIT. Ericsson also appears to have sufficient operating earnings to cover interest payments. Nokia’s ability to cover interest payments is greater than Ericsson’s, although both companies appear to have sufficient operating earnings to cover interest payments. Interest coverage ratio for 2008: 32.0 Interest coverage ratio for 2007: 135.3 Interest coverage ratio for 2008: 9.6 Interest coverage ratio for 2007: 20.3 Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute

Summary Bonds are valued as the present value of future cash flows.
Market interest rates reflect the risk of the issuer and the instrument. A bond discount or premium is amortized by using the effective interest method. Analysts treat noncancellable operating leases as equivalent to on-balance-sheet debt. Defined benefit pension plans with a net unfunded position give rise to liabilities. Leverage and coverage ratios are used in assessing a company’s solvency. Copyright © 2013 CFA Institute
