The Cash Flow Gap | Asset Liability Management [Video]

The Cash Flow Gap | Asset Liability Management

When the maturities of assets and liabilities aren’t matched, the bank could experience a cash flow shortfall.

For example, let’s say a bank uses short-term borrowing (a one-year note) to finance long-term assets (30-year loans) because short-term borrowing generally costs less than long-term borrowing. However, this presents a problem: the one-year note will need to be repaid before the bank collects the principal from the 30-year loans. If the bank can roll over the short-term debt, it can continue to finance the 30-year loans. But what if the bank can’t roll over the debt when it comes due, and the bank can’t find an alternative source of funds? The bank wouldn’t have cash to repay the debt (since the loan principal is still outstanding) and would run out of cash. This mismatch between asset and liability cash flows is called the cash flow gap (it’s also known as the maturity gap).

To avoid this outcome, banks try to match asset and liability positions so there are always sufficient funds to cover short-term liabilities that mature.

How to Account for Early Retirement of Bonds [Video]

This video explains how to account for the early retirement of bonds (aka early extinguishment of debt or early redemption of bonds).When a company retires (redeems) its bonds prior to the maturity date, the company must do several things:-Reduce the cash account by the amount used to repurchase the bonds (if cash is used to retire the bonds)-Remove the bonds payable-Zero out the unamortized discount or unamortized premium-Record a gain or loss IF the repurchase price is different from the carrying value (aka book value) of the bonds on the date the bonds are retiredThere are two ways to calculate the gain or loss on the early retirement of the bonds:(1) record the journal entry; if a debit is required to make the journal entry balance, then debit a loss on early retirement (or loss on bond redemption, loss on early extinguishment of debt, etc.). If a credit is instead required to make the journal entry balance, the credit a gain on early retirement (or gain on bond redemption, gain on early extinguishment of debt, etc.)(2) calculate the difference between the repurchase price (the amount paid to retire the bonds) and carrying value (aka book value) of the bonds at the time they are retired. If the repurchase price is less than the carrying value, there is a gain. If the repurchase price is greater than the carrying value, there is a loss.0:00 Introduction0:39 4 things to do when retiring bonds1:20 Example3:59 T-account for discount on bonds payable4:18 Journal entry to record gain on retirement of bonds5:53 Alternative situation (loss on retirement of bonds)— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
