Document Summary

Chapter 15 financial instruments: complex debt and equity. Debt financing is an amount borrowed at some specific interest rate, payable at a fixed time in the future or at the option of the lender. Shareholder"s equity is represented by share capital; the issuance of a stock certificate signified the financial instrument as equity. If, loan or contract agreement existed, then the instrument would be classified as a liability. Reporting standards require that the financial instruments should be classified based on the substance of the contractual arrangement: debt or equity. If they are both (a compound instrument) then the components should be classified separately. Substance over form: classification should be based on the nature of the investment not its name or label: payments should also be presented accordingly whether it is a liability or equity. If liability, then payment should be expensed and presented in net earnings.
