Explanation:
ASC 480-10 is used when an issuer, in the declaration of its financial position, has to categorize some financial instruments that share the characteristics of liabilities and equities. The issuer always classifies legal-form debt as liability and this makes it not applicable under the ASC 480-10.
Under the ASC 480-10, three types of financial instruments are meant to be classified and they include;
1. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments
2. Obligations to repurchase the entity’s equity shares by transferring assets, and
3.Certain obligations to issue a variable number of equity shares
