Summary of Valuing and Reporting Investments 4 Exhibit 2

Describe fair value accounting and its implications for the future

Fair Value Accounting Fair value is the price that would be received for selling an asset or paying off a liability. Fair value assumes that the asset is sold or the liability paid off under normal rather than under distress conditions. 5

Trends to Fair Value Accounting A current trend for the FASB and other accounting regulators is to adopt accounting principles using fair values for valuing and reporting assets and liabilities. 5

Trends to Fair Value Accounting Factors contributing to this trend include the following: 1.Current generally accepted accounting principles are a hybrid of varying measurement methods that often conflict with each other. (continued) 5

A greater percentage of the total assets of many companies consists of financial assets such as receivables and securities. 3.The world economy has created pressure on accounting regulators to adopt a worldwide set of accounting principles and standards. 5

Disadvantages of Fair Value Accounting Several potential disadvantages include the following: 1.Fair value may not be readily obtainable for some assets or liabilities resulting in subjectivity. (continued) 5

Fair values make it more difficult to compare companies if companies use different methods of determining (measuring) fair values. 3.Using fair values will result in more fluctuations in accounting reports because fair values normally change from year to year. 5

Effect of Fair Value Accounting on the Financial Statements—Balance Sheet 1.When an asset or liability is reported at its fair value, any difference between the asset’s original cost or prior period’s fair value must be recorded. 2.The unrealized gain or loss on changes in fair value must be recorded. One method reports these as part of stockholders’ equity. 5

Effect of Fair Value Accounting on the Financial Statements—Income Statement Instead of recording the unrealized gain or loss on changes in fair value as part of stockholders’ equity, the unrealized gains or losses may be reported on the income statement. 5

Dividend Yield The dividend yield indicates the rate of return to stockholders in terms of cash dividends distributed. Dividend Yield = Dividends per Share of Common Stock Market Price per Share of Common Stock Mattel: Dividend Yield = $0.75 $19.09 = 3.93% 5

Appendix 1: Accounting for Held-to- Maturity Investments 13-74

Prices of Bonds 1.If the bond rate of interest is more than the market rate of interest for equivalent investments, bonds are purchased at a premium. 2.If the bond rate of interest is less than the market rate of interest for equivalent investments, bonds are purchased at a discount.

Amortization of a Premium on a Bond Investment

Amortization of a Discount on a Bond Investment

On April 1, 2010, Crenshaw Inc. purchases $50,000 (face value) of 10-year, 8% bonds on their issuance date directly from XPS Corporation as a held-to-maturity investment. The purchase price was $44,000; the bonds pay interest semiannually. Purchase at a Discount (continued)

Purchase of bonds on April 1, Receipt of semiannual interest on October 1. (continued)

Adjusting entry for accrued interest on December 31. Adjusting entry for amortization of discount on December 31 using the straight-line method. (continued)

The bonds mature on April 1, 2020.

Appendix 2: Comprehensive Income 13-82

Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in stockholders’ equity during a period, except those resulting from dividends and stockholders’ investments. Other comprehensive income items include unrealized gains and losses on available-for- sale securities as well as other items such as foreign currency and pension liability adjustments.
