All Discount Purchases | Eagle Accounting applies the DeMinimis test to the entire total discount stream. DeMinimis does not apply to securities bought at a market premium. If market discount passes DeMinimis, discontinue accretion of both steams. If market discount fails DeMinimis, accrete both streams. | n/a | n/a |
OID Only | Eagle Accounting applies the DeMinimis test to the OID stream. If OID passes DeMinimis, discontinue accretion of both streams. If OID fails DeMinimis, accrete both streams. | If OID passes DeMinimis, discontinue OID, and accrete market discount. If OID fails DeMinimis, accrete both streams. | n/a |
Acquisition Discount/ Market Discount | n/a | n/a | Eagle Accounting applies the DeMinimis test to the market discount stream or to the acquisition discount stream (if you purchase an OID-eligible bond below the adjusted issue price). If market discount passes DeMinimis, discontinue market discount accretion, and accrete OID. If market discount fails DeMinimis, accrete both streams. |
Apply Each Independently | Eagle Accounting applies the DeMinimis test independently to both the market discount stream and the OID stream. If market discount passes DeMinimis, discontinue market discount. If market discount fails DeMinimis, accrete market discount. If OID passes DeMinimis, discontinue OID. If OID fails DeMinimis, accrete OID. | n/a | n/a |
Example - DeMinimis Test for OID
Eagle Accounting calculates the DeMinimis test for OID as follows:
(.25 of 1% (.0025) of redemption price * the number of complete years to redemption) > (Stated Redemption Value - adjusted issue price)
Calculate DeMinimis
Result
Because the OID amount falls within the DeMinimis rule, the fund does not accrete OID, but can have Market Discount, depending on the value set for the Within DeMinimis Test Application field.
Example - DeMinimis Test for Discount Purchases
Calculate DeMinimis
Result
Because the market discount amount falls within the DeMinimis rule, the fund does not accrete any market discount amortization.
When selecting DeMinimis for all market discount purchases, if the Security or OID falls within the DeMinimis test, Eagle Accounting discontinues amortization.
