    The diluting effect of options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method, which assumes that:

    proceeds from exercise are used to purchase common stock at the average market price.

    can anyone explain that?

    I think if something is expected to be uncollected, a valuation allowance is set up, but it doesn't affect the actual revenue collected.

    And this was successful. So why isn't it being capitalized? Am I missing something?

    Gray Co. was granted a patent on January 2, 20X1, and appropriately capitalized $45,000 of related costs. Gray was amortizing the patent over its estimated useful life of 15 years. No impairment losses were recognized. During 20X4, Gray paid $15,000 in legal costs in successfully defending an attempted infringement of the patent. After the legal action was completed, Gray sold the patent to the plaintiff for $75,000. Gray's policy is to take no amortization in the year of disposal. In its 20X4 income statement, what amount should Gray report as gain from sale of patent?

    Answer: 24,000

    Initial capitalized amount $45,000

    amortization (3/15 x $45,000) (9,000)

    Infringement defense costs 15,000


    Carrying value at time of sale $51,000

    ========

    Sales price $75,000

    Carrying value – 51,000


    Gain on sale $24,000

    I thought legal fees for a successful defense were amortized?? since they chose to take no amortization in year of sale, I am getting a gain of 39,000 (75,000 – (45,000-9,000)). What are the defense costs of 15,000 being added in?

    Also,

    non-spendable = think of something that is not in spendable form, like inventory or a prepaid or and permanent fund principal.

    restricted fund – BY DONOR or government, cannot be restricted within the org!!

    committed – resources that can only be used for a certain purpose due to government – but government can undue this, that's why its not restricted

    assigned – just assigned by gov, but aren't restricted or commited

    unassigned – default where everything else goes and can have a negative balance

    One way I try and remember cash flow categories is:

    Operating = NI + Current assets + current liabilities

    Investing = noncurrent assets + acquiring stock

    Financing = Long term liabilities and equity

    Does that seem right?

    also, can anyone please explain diluted EPS? confuses me to no end!!
