DISCUSSION
We are done with financial assets at fair value. In this Module, we will focus our discussion on
the last type of financial assets, which are financial assets at amortized cost. A very common
example of this type of financial assets is Investment in Bonds.
Before we study this new topic, recall these important concepts on measurement, as it will be
very helpful if you are already familiar with these:
Remember, the subsequent measurement of FA@AC is at its amortized cost. Meaning, it is not
affected by changes in fair value. Just focus on the computation of amortized cost. How? Find
out in this Module and by reading Chapters 19 and 20 of Valix’s Intermediate Accounting 2019
Volume 1.

Don’t get overwhelmed with the concepts and principles underlying investment in bonds. Below
are sample problems which can help you understand this topic better. Solutions are also
provided at the end of this section. Just a tip, be able to identify what are the given financial
assets as these exercises include FA@FVPL and FA@FVOCI. Answer the problems diligently
before looking at the solutions. Furthermore, we will use four decimal places for PV factors,
except when such is given; example, 0.3333 or 1.2555; and we round off final answers to whole
number. As much as possible, recall the necessary journal entries we have discussed.
