## Machine-generated topic summary

ASC 845 governs nonmonetary transactions — reciprocal exchanges of nonmonetary assets and nonreciprocal transfers to owners or others. The operative guidance is in ASC 845-10: the default is to measure the asset received at the fair value of the asset surrendered (or the asset received, if more clearly evident) and recognize gain or loss (845-10-30-1), unless one of three exceptions requires carryover of the recorded amount — fair value not determinable within reasonable limits, an exchange of product held for sale to facilitate sales to customers, or a transaction lacking commercial substance (845-10-30-3, 845-10-30-4). Special rules cover boot (25 percent threshold; pro rata gain to the boot receiver, full loss recognition), inventory purchases and sales with the same counterparty, spinoffs and other distributions to owners, and disclosure of the nature, basis of accounting, and gains or losses (845-10-50-1). The industry subtopics for airlines (845-908, slots recorded under Topic 845) remain, while the broadcaster (845-920), film (845-926), and software (845-985) barter subtopics were entirely superseded by ASU 2014-09, so those exchanges are now analyzed under ASC 606's noncash consideration guidance and ASC 845-10.

## ASC 845-10: Nonmonetary Transactions — Overall

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 845-10 governs nonmonetary transactions — reciprocal exchanges of nonmonetary assets and nonreciprocal transfers of nonmonetary assets to owners or others. The default rule is that such transactions are measured at the fair value of the asset surrendered (or received, if more clearly evident) with gain or loss recognized (845-10-30-1), subject to three exceptions requiring carryover (recorded amount) accounting: fair value not determinable within reasonable limits, an exchange of product held for sale to facilitate sales to customers, or a transaction lacking commercial substance (845-10-30-3). Special subsections address purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty, barter credits, and exchanges involving boot.",
  "key_points": [
    "Default measurement: a nonmonetary asset acquired in exchange is recorded at the fair value of the asset surrendered (or the fair value of the asset received if more clearly evident), and gain or loss is recognized (845-10-30-1); nonreciprocal transfers to stockholders or others are also recorded at fair value with gain or loss (845-10-30-1).",
    "Carryover (recorded amount) measurement is required if fair value of neither asset is determinable within reasonable limits, the exchange is of product held for sale in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers other than the parties, or the transaction lacks commercial substance (845-10-30-3).",
    "An exchange has commercial substance if the entity's future cash flows are expected to significantly change, tested by a significant difference in the configuration (risk, timing, amount) of cash flows or in entity-specific values relative to the fair values exchanged (845-10-30-4); tax cash flows arising solely from a financial-reporting-driven business purpose are ignored (845-10-30-5).",
    "Boot of at least 25 percent of the fair value of the exchange makes the transaction monetary in its entirety and outside the Subtopic, both parties recording at fair value; if boot is less than 25 percent, the receiver of boot recognizes a pro rata gain and the payer of boot recognizes none (845-10-25-6; 845-10-30-6; 845-10-30-21), but an entire indicated loss is always recognized (845-10-30-6).",
    "Inventory purchase and sales transactions with the same counterparty are combined as a single exchange if legally contingent or entered into in contemplation of one another, judged by indicators such as legal right of offset, simultaneity, off-market terms, and certainty of the reciprocal transaction (845-10-15-6; 845-10-25-4); combined exchanges of finished goods for raw materials or work-in-process may be at fair value if determinable and the transaction has commercial substance (845-10-30-15), while all other same-line-of-business inventory swaps are at carrying amount (845-10-30-16).",
    "Spinoffs and other distributions of nonmonetary assets to owners in reorganizations, liquidations, or rescissions of a prior business combination are recorded at the recorded amount with no gain or loss (845-10-30-10; 845-10-55-1); non-pro-rata split-offs of a segment in a plan of reorganization are recorded at fair value (845-10-30-12), and a distribution of a nonbusiness subsidiary is a dividend-in-kind measured at fair value (845-10-25-3; 845-10-30-14).",
    "Disclose the nature of nonmonetary transactions, the basis of accounting for assets transferred, and gains or losses recognized (845-10-50-1), plus revenue and costs (or gains and losses) from inventory exchanges recognized at fair value (845-10-50-3); scope excludes business combinations, common-control transfers, share-based payment, stock dividends/splits, financial asset transfers, involuntary conversions, and noncash consideration in Topic 606 or Subtopic 610-20 transactions (845-10-15-4)."

  "audience_level": "intermediate",
  "student_note": "Exam questions almost always turn on two switches: does the exchange have commercial substance (fair value plus full gain/loss) or not (carryover basis), and how much boot is involved (25% or more makes it fully monetary; less than 25% gives the boot receiver only a pro rata gain). A common misunderstanding is thinking losses can also be deferred — an entire indicated loss is recognized immediately regardless of commercial substance or boot.",

A corporate joint venture also usually provides an arrangement under which each joint venturer may participate, directly or indirectly, in the overall management of the joint venture. Joint venturers thus have an interest or relationship other than as passive investors. An entity that is a subsidiary of one of the joint venturers is not a corporate joint venture. The ownership of a corporate joint venture seldom changes, and its stock is usually not traded publicly.

Most business transactions involve exchanges of cash or other [monetary assets or liabilities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/m/#monetary-assets-and-liabilities "Monetary assets and liabilities are assets and liabilities whose amounts are fixed in terms of units of currency by contract or otherwise. Examples are cash, short- or long-term accounts and notes receivable in cash, and short- or long-term accounts and notes payable in cash.") for goods or services. The amount of monetary assets or liabilities exchanged generally provides an objective basis for measuring the cost of nonmonetary assets or services received by an entity as well as for measuring gain or loss on nonmonetary assets transferred from an entity. Some transactions, however, involve either of the following:

1.  a
    
    An [exchange](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/e/#exchange "An exchange (or exchange transaction) is a reciprocal transfer between two entities that results in one of the entities acquiring assets or services or satisfying liabilities by surrendering other assets or services or incurring other obligations.") with another entity (reciprocal transfer) that involves principally [nonmonetary assets or liabilities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#nonmonetary-assets-and-liabilities "Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are assets and liabilities other than monetary ones. Examples are inventories; investments in common stocks; property, plant, and equipment; and liabilities for rent collected in advance.")
    
2.  b
    
    A transfer of nonmonetary assets for which no assets are received or relinquished in exchange ([nonreciprocal transfer](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#nonreciprocal-transfer "Nonreciprocal transfer is a transfer of assets or services in one direction, either from an entity to its owners (whether or not in exchange for their ownership interests) or to another entity, or from owners or another entity to the entity. An entity's reacquisition of its outstanding stock is an example of a nonreciprocal transfer.")).

Both exchanges and nonreciprocal transfers that involve little or no monetary assets or liabilities are referred to as nonmonetary transactions and they are presented in the General Subsections as follows:

1.  a
    
    Nonreciprocal transfers with [owners](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/o/#owners "Used broadly to include holders of ownership interests (equity interests) of investor-owned entities, mutual entities, or not-for-profit entities. Owners include shareholders, partners, proprietors, or members or participants of mutual entities. Owners also include owner and member interests in the net assets of not-for-profit entities.")
    
2.  b
    
    Nonreciprocal transfers with other than owners
    
3.  c
    
    Nonmonetary exchanges.

Some nonmonetary transactions are nonreciprocal transfers between an entity and its owners. Examples include the following types of stockholder distributions:

1.  a
    
    Marketable equity securities as dividends
    
2.  b
    
    Marketable equity securities, to redeem or acquire outstanding capital stock of the entity
    
3.  c
    
    Capital stock of [subsidiaries](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#subsidiary "An entity, including an unincorporated entity such as a partnership or trust, in which another entity, known as its parent, holds a controlling financial interest. (Also, a variable interest entity that is consolidated by a primary beneficiary.)"), in corporate liquidations or plans of reorganization that involve disposing of all or a significant segment of the entity (the plans are variously referred to as spinoffs, split-ups, and split-offs)
    
4.  d
    
    Nonmonetary assets pursuant to plans of rescission or other settlements relating to a prior business combination, to redeem or acquire shares of capital stock previously issued in a business combination.

    Exchange of product held for sale in the ordinary course of business (inventory) for other property as a means of selling the product to a customer
    
2.  b
    
    Exchange of product held for sale in the ordinary course of business (inventory) for similar product as an accommodation - that is, at least one party to the exchange reduces transportation costs, meets immediate inventory needs, or otherwise reduces costs or facilitates ultimate sale of the product—and not as a means of selling the product to a customer
    
3.  c
    
    Exchange of [productive assets](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#productive-assets "Productive assets are assets held for or used in the production of goods or services by the entity. Productive assets include an investment in another entity if the investment is accounted for by the equity method but exclude an investment not accounted for by that method. Similar productive assets are productive assets that are of the same general type, that perform the same function, or that are employed in the same line of business.")—assets employed in production rather than held for sale in the ordinary course of business - for other productive assets or for an equivalent interest in other productive assets. For example:
    
    1.  1
        
        Trade of player contracts by professional sports organizations
        
    2.  2
        
        Exchange of leases on mineral properties
        
    3.  3
        
        Exchange of one form of interest in an oil-producing property for another form of interest
        
    4.  4
        
        Exchange of real estate for real estate.

Subtopic 505-60 provides guidance on the distribution of nonmonetary assets that constitute a business to owners of an entity in transactions commonly referred to as spinoffs. That Subtopic also addresses spinoff transactions in which the substance of the transaction may differ from the legal form and provides guidance on how to determine such situations and their required accounting and reporting.

The Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty Subsections provide guidance for situations in which an entity sells inventory to another entity from which it also purchases inventory to be sold in the same line of business. The inventory purchase and sales transactions may be pursuant to a single arrangement or separate arrangements, and the inventory purchased or sold may be in the form of raw materials, work-in-process, or finished goods.

In a barter transaction involving barter credits, an entity enters into a transaction to [exchange](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/e/#exchange "An exchange (or exchange transaction) is a reciprocal transfer between two entities that results in one of the entities acquiring assets or services or satisfying liabilities by surrendering other assets or services or incurring other obligations.") a [nonmonetary asset](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#nonmonetary-assets-and-liabilities "Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are assets and liabilities other than monetary ones. Examples are inventories; investments in common stocks; property, plant, and equipment; and liabilities for rent collected in advance.") (for example, inventory) for barter credits. Those transactions may occur directly between principals to the transaction or include a third party whose business is to facilitate those types of exchanges (for example, a barter entity). The barter credits can be used to purchase goods or services, such as advertising time, from either the barter entity or members of its barter exchange network. The goods and services to be purchased may be specified in a barter contract or limited to items made available by members of the exchange network. Some arrangements may require the payment of cash in addition to the barter credits to purchase goods or services. Barter credits also may have a contractual expiration date, at which time they become worthless.

The guidance in these Subsections does not apply to transfers between a [joint venture](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/j/#joint-venture "An entity owned and operated by a small group of businesses (the joint venturers) as a separate and specific business or project for the mutual benefit of the members of the group. A government may also be a member of the group. The purpose of a joint venture frequently is to share risks and rewards in developing a new market, product, or technology; to combine complementary technological knowledge; or to pool resources in developing production or other facilities. A joint venture also usually provides an arrangement under which each joint venturer may participate, directly or indirectly, in the overall management of the joint venture. Joint venturers thus have an interest or relationship other than as passive investors. An entity that is a subsidiary of one of the joint venturers is not a joint venture. The ownership of a joint venture seldom changes, and its equity interests usually are not traded publicly. A minority public ownership, however, does not preclude an entity from being a joint venture. As distinguished from a corporate joint venture, a joint venture is not limited to corporate entities.") and its [owners](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/o/#owners "Used broadly to include holders of ownership interests (equity interests) of investor-owned entities, mutual entities, or not-for-profit entities.

In situations in which an inventory transaction is not legally contingent upon the performance of another inventory transaction with the same counterparty, the following factors (referred to as indicators) may indicate that a purchase transaction and a sales transaction were entered into in contemplation of one another:

1.  a
    
    There is a specific legal right of offset of obligations between counterparties involved in inventory purchase and sales transactions. The ability to offset the payable(s) and receivable(s) related to the separately documented inventory purchase and sales transactions indicates that there is a link between them and, therefore, it is an indicator that the separately documented inventory transactions were entered into in contemplation of one another. This indicator is more relevant to settlement provisions relating to inventory purchase and sales transactions that are specifically identified (specified legal right of offset) by both counterparties than to inventory transactions that are netted as part of a master netting agreement that encompasses all transactions (inventory and noninventory) between the two counterparties.
    
2.  b
    
    Inventory purchase and sales transactions with the same counterparty are entered into simultaneously. If an inventory purchase transaction is simultaneously entered into with an inventory sales transaction with the same counterparty that is an indication that the transactions were entered into in contemplation of one another.
    
3.  c
    
    Inventory purchase and sales transactions were entered into at terms that were off-market when the arrangement was agreed to between counterparties. If an entity enters into an off-market inventory transaction with a counterparty, that is an indication that the transaction is linked to, and entered into, in contemplation of another inventory transaction with that same counterparty. This indicator may be more relevant for transactions with products that have readily determinable market prices, such as [exchange](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/e/#exchange "An exchange (or exchange transaction) is a reciprocal transfer between two entities that results in one of the entities acquiring assets or services or satisfying liabilities by surrendering other assets or services or incurring other obligations.")\-traded commodities, than for transactions with products that are subject to greater discretionary pricing.
    
4.  d
    
    Relative certainty that reciprocal inventory transactions with the same counterparty will occur. An entity may sell inventory to a counterparty and enter into another arrangement with that same counterparty whereby that counterparty may, but is not contractually required to, deliver an agreed-upon inventory amount. If that counterparty chooses to deliver its product to the entity, the entity is obligated to purchase that product. The more certain it is that both inventory transactions will occur, the stronger the indication that the two inventory transactions were entered into in contemplation of one another.
    

None of the above indicators taken individually is determinative nor is the list all-inclusive.

In general, the accounting for nonmonetary transactions should be based on the fair values of the assets (or services) involved, which is the same basis as that used in monetary transactions. Thus, the cost of a [nonmonetary asset](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#nonmonetary-assets-and-liabilities "Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are assets and liabilities other than monetary ones. Examples are inventories; investments in common stocks; property, plant, and equipment; and liabilities for rent collected in advance.") acquired in [exchange](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/e/#exchange "An exchange (or exchange transaction) is a reciprocal transfer between two entities that results in one of the entities acquiring assets or services or satisfying liabilities by surrendering other assets or services or incurring other obligations.") for another nonmonetary asset is the fair value of the asset surrendered to obtain it, and a gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange. The fair value of the asset received shall be used to measure the cost if it is more clearly evident than the fair value of the asset surrendered. Similarly, a nonmonetary asset received in a [nonreciprocal transfer](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#nonreciprocal-transfer "Nonreciprocal transfer is a transfer of assets or services in one direction, either from an entity to its owners (whether or not in exchange for their ownership interests) or to another entity, or from owners or another entity to the entity. An entity's reacquisition of its outstanding stock is an example of a nonreciprocal transfer.") shall be recorded at the fair value of the asset received. A transfer of a nonmonetary asset to a stockholder or to another entity in a nonreciprocal transfer shall be recorded at the fair value of the asset transferred and a gain or loss shall be recognized on the disposition of the asset.

The fair value of an entity's own stock reacquired may be a more clearly evident measure of the fair value of the asset distributed in a nonreciprocal transfer if the transaction involves distribution of a nonmonetary asset to eliminate a disproportionate part of [owners'](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/o/#owners "Used broadly to include holders of ownership interests (equity interests) of investor-owned entities, mutual entities, or not-for-profit entities. Owners include shareholders, partners, proprietors, or members or participants of mutual entities. Owners also include owner and member interests in the net assets of not-for-profit entities.") interests (that is, to acquire stock for the treasury or for retirement). If one of the parties in a nonmonetary transaction could have elected to receive cash instead of the nonmonetary asset, the amount of cash that could have been received may be evidence of the fair value of the nonmonetary assets exchanged.

A nonmonetary exchange shall be measured based on the recorded amount (after reduction, if appropriate, for an indicated impairment of value as discussed in paragraph [360-10-40-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-40-4)) of the nonmonetary asset(s) relinquished, and not on the fair values of the exchanged assets, if any of the following conditions apply:

1.  a
    
    The fair value of neither the asset(s) received nor the asset(s) relinquished is determinable within reasonable limits.
    
2.  b
    
    The transaction is an exchange of a product or property held for sale in the ordinary course of business for a product or property to be sold in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers other than the parties to the exchange.
    
3.  c
    
    The transaction lacks commercial substance (see the following paragraph).

A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the entity's future cash flows are expected to significantly change as a result of the exchange. The entity's future cash flows are expected to significantly change if either of the following criteria is met:

1.  a
    
    The configuration (risk, timing, and amount) of the future cash flows of the asset(s) received differs significantly from the configuration of the future cash flows of the asset(s) transferred. The configuration of future cash flows is composed of the risk, timing, and amount of the cash flows. A change in any one of those elements would be a change in configuration.
    
2.  b
    
    The entity-specific value of the asset(s) received differs from the entity-specific value of the asset(s) transferred, and the difference is significant in relation to the fair values of the assets exchanged. An entity-specific value (referred to as an entity-specific measurement in FASB Concepts Statement No. 7, Using Cash Flow Information and Present Value in Accounting Measurements) is different from a fair value measurement. As described in paragraph 24(b) of Concepts Statement No. 7, an entity-specific value attempts to capture the value of an asset or liability in the context of a particular entity. For example, an entity computing an entity-specific value of an asset would use its expectations about its use of that asset rather than the use assumed by marketplace participants. If it is determined that the transaction has commercial substance, the exchange would be measured at fair value, rather than at the entity-specific value.
    

A qualitative assessment will, in some cases, be conclusive in determining that the estimated cash flows of the entity are expected to significantly change as a result of the exchange.

In the United States and some other tax jurisdictions, a transaction is not given effect for tax purposes unless it serves a legitimate business purpose other than tax avoidance. In assessing the commercial substance of an exchange, tax cash flows that arise solely because the tax business purpose is based on achieving a specified financial reporting result shall not be considered.

The exchanges of nonmonetary assets that would otherwise be based on recorded amounts (see paragraph [845-10-30-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/845/10/#845-10-30-3)) may include an amount of monetary consideration.

Fair value should be regarded as not determinable within reasonable limits if major uncertainties exist about the realizability of the value that would be assigned to an asset received in a nonmonetary transaction accounted for at fair value. An exchange involving parties with essentially opposing interests is not considered a prerequisite to determining a fair value of a nonmonetary asset transferred; nor does an exchange ensure that a fair value for accounting purposes can be ascertained within reasonable limits. If neither the fair value of a nonmonetary asset transferred nor the fair value of a nonmonetary asset received in exchange is determinable within reasonable limits, the recorded amount of the nonmonetary asset transferred from the entity may be the only available measure of the transaction.

Accounting for the distribution of nonmonetary assets to owners of an entity in a spinoff or other form of reorganization or liquidation or in a plan that is in substance the rescission of a prior business combination shall be based on the recorded amount (after reduction, if appropriate, for an indicated impairment of value) (see paragraph [360-10-40-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-40-4)) of the nonmonetary assets distributed.

A pro rata distribution to owners of an entity of shares of a [subsidiary](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#subsidiary "An entity, including an unincorporated entity such as a partnership or trust, in which another entity, known as its parent, holds a controlling financial interest. (Also, a variable interest entity that is consolidated by a primary beneficiary.)") or other investee entity that has been or is being consolidated or that has been or is being accounted for under the equity method is to be considered to be equivalent to a spinoff. Other nonreciprocal transfers of nonmonetary assets to owners shall be accounted for at fair value if the fair value of the nonmonetary asset distributed is objectively measurable and would be clearly realizable to the distributing entity in an outright sale at or near the time of the distribution.

An employer (Entity A) incorporates a division (Entity B) and subsequently spins it off to the owners of the entity. The new entity assumes Entity A's projected benefit obligation under its pension plan (Old Plan) for the employees that are transferred as part of the spinoff. The accumulated benefit obligation for those employees ($30,000) is fully vested at the date of the spinoff. The portion of the projected benefit obligation attributable to the future compensation levels for those employees is $6,000. No plan assets are transferred to the new entity's pension plan (New Plan).

The application of the indicators (see paragraph [845-10-25-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/845/10/#845-10-25-4)) depends on the relative facts and circumstances and requires significant judgment. The assessment of that judgment in a given fact pattern is based on the assumed facts; accordingly, judgment will vary in differing fact patterns.

Entity A issues invoices and purchase orders for each transaction and each is gross-cash settled at market prices. Although the quantities differ, there is an insignificant difference in total value of oil being exchanged in each transaction. Entity A would not sell its inventory to Entity B or Entity C without an understanding that the counterparty will perform. Entity A considers all crude oil to be the same class of inventory (that is, raw materials) for purposes of financial reporting. Entity A does not account for these arrangements as derivatives; therefore, the guidance in Subtopic 815-10 is not applicable.

Based on an evaluation of the circumstances, Entity A's inventory purchase and sales transactions with Entity B were entered into in contemplation of one another because the sole purpose of selling inventory was to procure inventory from the same counterparty in the most cost-efficient manner. While it is a matter of judgment as to whether Entity A entered into its inventory purchase and sales transactions with Entity B in contemplation of one another, certain factors support this assessment. For instance, the transaction to sell inventory was entered into simultaneously with the transaction to purchase inventory. In addition, the sole purpose of selling heavy crude oil inventory is to facilitate the purchase of sweet crude oil inventory. Although the purpose of a transaction is not explicitly identified as an indicator in the consensus guidance, it is nevertheless relevant to the assessment of whether the inventory transactions were entered into in contemplation of one another. While the inventory transactions were not settled on a net basis nor were they entered into at off-market prices, the other indicators, together with the specific facts and circumstances described above, provide persuasive evidence that the transactions were entered into in contemplation of one another. Therefore, although each transaction was separately documented and gross-cash settled at market prices, the inventory transactions should be deemed a single exchange between Entity A and Entity B for purposes of applying the guidance in the Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty Subsections. From the perspective of Entity A, an analysis of the inventory purchase and sales transactions between Entity A and Entity C would result in the same conclusion as the analysis of the transactions between Entity A and Entity B.

Dealer A in Suburb X has an excess inventory of cars relative to near-term expected demand and does not have enough pickup trucks to meet near-term expected demand. Dealer B in Suburb Y has an excess inventory of pickup trucks and not enough cars to meet near-term expected demand. Dealer A negotiates an arrangement to sell a specified number of cars to Dealer B and, although not committed to do so, Dealer B may deliver pickup trucks of equivalent value at wholesale prices to Dealer A. Dealer A must purchase pickup trucks from Dealer B if Dealer B chooses to deliver the trucks the following week. Historically, Dealer B has always delivered the trucks to Dealer A under these types of arrangements. At the time Dealer A delivers its cars to Dealer B, Dealer A believes Dealer B will ship the trucks the following week. Each transaction is separately documented and gross-cash settled at wholesale prices on the date of delivery.

Based on an evaluation of the circumstances, Dealer A's inventory sales transaction was entered into in contemplation of a reciprocal inventory purchase transaction from Dealer B because, as a condition of selling inventory to Dealer B, Dealer A must accept delivery of trucks from Dealer B at a later date, if Dealer B chooses to make such a delivery. Consistent with past history, when Dealer A enters into this kind of arrangement with Dealer B, Dealer A fully expects to purchase the trucks. Therefore, the sale of the cars should be considered combined with the purchase of the trucks.

While it is a matter of judgment as to whether Dealer A entered into its inventory sales transaction in contemplation of the inventory purchase transaction, certain factors support this assessment. For instance, a transaction to sell cars to Dealer B was entered into with an anticipated transaction to purchase trucks from Dealer B (if Dealer B chooses to deliver the trucks) simultaneously. Even though the transaction to purchase trucks depended on whether Dealer B chose to deliver, Dealer A believed that there was a high degree of certainty that Dealer B would deliver. In addition, because the inventory pricing is at wholesale, it indicates that these transactions were not on the same terms as transactions with their typical retail customers. While this last factor is not related to a specific indicator (see guidance in paragraph [845-10-25-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/845/10/#845-10-25-4)), it is relevant in assessing the nature of the relationship between Dealer A and Dealer B in the context of the purchase and sales transactions. While Dealer A and Dealer B did not agree to net-settle the inventory transactions, the expectation of a reciprocal purchase transaction from Dealer B in the context of the relationship between Dealer A and Dealer B indicates that the sale transaction by Dealer A to Dealer B was entered into in contemplation of the purchase transaction from Dealer B. Therefore, although each transaction was separately documented and gross-cash settled, these inventory transactions should be deemed a single exchange for purposes of applying the [Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty Subsection](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/845/10/#30-initial-measurement) of Section 845-10-30.

Multinational Manufacturer A has a longstanding business relationship with multinational Manufacturer B, whereby each manufacturer will buy and sell inventory from the other on an as-needed basis at market prices. Manufacturer A sells materials to Manufacturer B based on a purchase order from Manufacturer B. Two days later, Manufacturer B sells materials to Manufacturer A based on a separate purchase order from Manufacturer A. Neither transaction was predicated on the occurrence of the other transaction occurring through either an implied arrangement or a contractual arrangement, and, historically, Manufacturer A has sold twice as much in value to Manufacturer B as Manufacturer B has sold to Manufacturer A. Both of these inventory transactions are gross-cash settled at market prices.

This assessment is supported by reciprocal inventory purchase and sales transactions not being negotiated between the two counterparties at the same time. In addition, there is no correlation between the value of goods delivered to Manufacturer B and the value of goods received from Manufacturer B. Although this last factor is not explicitly identified in the guidance in this Subtopic, it further strengthens the assessment that the inventory transactions were not entered into in contemplation of one another. Consequently, the inventory purchase and sales transactions would not be deemed a single exchange for purposes of applying the [Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty Subsection](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/845/10/#30-initial-measurement) of Section 845-10-30 and would be considered separate monetary transactions subject to the guidance in other relevant generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

The following is the text of SAB Topic 5.G, Transfers of Nonmonetary Assets by Promoters or Shareholders.

-   Facts: Nonmonetary assets are exchanged by promoters or shareholders for all or part of a company's common stock just prior to or contemporaneously with a first-time public offering.
    
-   Question: Since FASB ASC paragraph [845-10-15-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/845/10/#845-10-15-4) (Nonmonetary Transactions Topic) states that the guidance in this Topic is not applicable to transactions involving the acquisition of nonmonetary assets or services on issuance of the capital stock of an enterprise, what value should be ascribed to the acquired assets by the company?
    
-   Interpretive Response: The staff believes that transfers of nonmonetary assets to a company by its promoters or shareholders in exchange for stock prior to or at the time of the company's initial public offering normally should be recorded at the transferors' historical cost basis determined under GAAP.
    
-   The staff will not always require that predecessor cost be used to value nonmonetary assets received from an enterprise's promoters or shareholders. However, deviations from this policy have been rare applying generally to situations where the fair value of either the stock issued <sup class="ph sup">FN1</sup> or assets acquired is objectively measurable and the transferor's stock ownership following the transaction was not so significant that the transferor had retained a substantial indirect interest in the assets as a result of stock ownership in the company.
    
    -   FN1 Estimating the fair value of the common stock issued, however, is not appropriate when the stock is closely held and/or seldom or ever traded.

The following is the text of SEC Observer Comment: Accounting by a Joint Venture for Businesses Received at Its Formation.

-   The SEC staff will object to a conclusion that did not result in the application of Topic 805 to transactions in which businesses are contributed to a newly formed, jointly controlled entity if that entity is not a joint venture. The SEC staff also would object to a conclusion that joint control is the only defining characteristic of a joint venture.

The following is the text of SEC Observer Comment: Interpretation of Subtopic 845-10.

-   The SEC staff will require registrants to account for the exchange of consolidated businesses, even if in the same line of business, as a fair value transaction under the guidance of Topic 805. The SEC staff believes that Topic governs the acquisition of a consolidated business when acquired for nonmonetary assets, including equity method investments.

## ASC 845-985: Nonmonetary Transactions — Software

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 845-985 formerly provided industry guidance on nonmonetary (barter) exchanges involving software, principally software revenue recognition in exchanges of software products or licenses. Every paragraph in this subtopic — scope, recognition, and implementation guidance — was superseded by ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The subtopic therefore contains no operative guidance; nonmonetary consideration in software arrangements is now addressed under ASC 606 (noncash consideration) and general nonmonetary guidance in ASC 845-10.",
  "key_points": [
    "All content of 845-985 (paragraphs 845-985-05-1, 15-1 through 15-2, 25-1 through 25-7, and 55-1 through 55-8) is marked 'Paragraph superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,' leaving no effective guidance in the subtopic.",
    "Because the legacy software-specific nonmonetary exchange guidance was withdrawn, entities apply ASC 606 to revenue arrangements settled in noncash consideration, measuring such consideration at fair value under 606-10-32-21 through 32-24.",
    "General nonmonetary exchange principles (fair value measurement, commercial substance exception) remain in ASC 845-10; the software carve-out no longer exists.",
    "The superseded status is a transition artifact: entities that had not yet adopted ASU 2014-09 previously looked here, but for all current periods the guidance is inoperative.",
    "Related legacy software revenue guidance in ASC 985-605 was likewise superseded by ASU 2014-09, so no residual software-specific barter model survives."

    "Revenue",

  ],
  "audience_level": "intermediate",
  "student_note": "Know that this subtopic is entirely superseded by ASU 2014-09 — citing it as live authority is the classic error; software barter transactions now fall under ASC 606's noncash consideration rules and ASC 845-10's general nonmonetary principles.",
