The following additional information is relevant.
(1) During the year the company used employees idle time to produce new furniture for the companys
offices. The old furniture was all scrapped. Raw materials costing CU54,000 were used. The
employees time amounted to a cost to the company of CU20,500. No adjustment has been made for
this in the above.
(2) On 1 January 20X5 Harry Ltd entered into a lease agreement for a new machine. The fair value of this
machine was CU53,000. The lease agreement provides for six annual payments of CU10,000 on
31 December each year. Interest is to be allocated on the sum-of-the-digits basis. No other plant was
purchased or sold during the year.
(3) Freehold land and buildings were revalued for the first time on 1 January 20X5. The surveyor
performing the valuation estimated an alternative use valuation of CU5 million (including CU4 million
for the land) and an existing use valuation of CU3.5 million (including CU3 million for the land).
Buildings are to continue to be depreciated on a straight-line basis at a rate of 4% but Harry Ltd makes
no transfer between the revaluation reserve and retained earnings in respect of this.
Plant is depreciated on a reducing balance basis at a rate of 20%. Office furniture is depreciated on a
15% straight line basis.

(4) During the year the company made a 1 for 5 bonus issue of its ordinary shares. No entries have been

directors time amounting to a cost of CU10,000. Both of these costs have been charged against the
share premium account.
(5) The preference shares are redeemable in 20X9. Dividends of 10p per share on the ordinary shares
and at the coupon rate on the preference shares were declared on 15 December 20X5 and paid early
in 20X6. The income tax charge for the period has been estimated at CU250,000.
(6) The intangible asset relates to a patent acquired on the purchase of a sole trader on 1 January 20X5.
This patent is considered to have a useful life of 20 years. The annual impairment review has indicated
that the patent has a recoverable value at 31 December 20X5 of CU14,000.
(7) Closing inventories at cost amounted to work in progress of CU50,200 and finished goods of
CU15,000. The latter included a table with a cost of CU5,000. The customer who had ordered this
table has been declared bankrupt. He had paid a CU1,000 deposit (which has been credited to
revenue) and owed CU10,000 at the year end in respect of other items. It is estimated that the table
can be sold for CU4,000.

6,700,000

QUESTION BANK
The tuition fees all relate to courses held during the year except for fees of CU300,000 which relate
to a ten-week course. Five weeks of this course had already been held by the year end. The remainder
is to be held in June 20X6. The advances relate to a new publication which Frodo Ltd has
commissioned and advertised heavily but which is not yet in production.
(3) There were no movements of non-current assets during the year. However, on 28 February 20X6,
Frodo Ltd decided to sell a major item of plant for which it no longer has any use. This plant cost
CU120,000 on 1 April 20X1 and was advertised for sale on 1 March 20X6 at a price of CU5,000. In
April 20X6 a buyer was identified at the advertised price. The sale is expected to be completed in May
20X6.
Plant is depreciated on a 10% straight line basis, taking into account the month of sale or purchase.
Freehold buildings are depreciated over their useful life of 40 years. Depreciation on plant is charged
to cost of sales. Depreciation on freehold land and buildings is charged to administrative expenses.
(4) At the year end the company was in the throes of a legal action by one of its competitors which claims
that Frodos textbook has breached copyright. The case is not due to be decided until June 20X6 but
Frodo Ltds legal advisors think that the company has a 60% chance of losing the case and estimates
that this would cost Frodo Ltd CU100,000.
(5) One of Frodo Ltds customers who owed CU10,000 at the year end was declared bankrupt on 1 May
20X6.
(6) Closing inventories at cost amounted to CU120,000. Within this valuation is an amount of CU50,000
relating to fixed overheads, being a share of total fixed overheads of CU1 million. Frodo Ltd had
expected to produce one million books during the year but, due to production difficulties only in fact
produced 800,000. Overheads have been allocated on the basis of CU1.25 per book.
(7) The following should be provided for at the year end.
Income tax of CU350,000
An ordinary dividend of 20p per share
The preference dividend

12 Gandalf Ltd
At 1 July 20X5 the capital and reserves section of Gandalf Ltd's balance sheet showed the following.
CU
Ordinary share capital (CU1 shares) 500,000
1,387,500
The accountant of Gandalf Ltd has prepared a draft income statement for the year ended 30 June 20X6
which shows a profit for the period of CU135,500. However, there are certain matters which he is unsure
how to deal with and these are set out below. He has also asked for your assistance in preparing the
statement of changes in equity for that year. It is Gandalf Ltd's policy to maintain as high a possible balance
on retained earnings, whilst following BFRS.
(1) During the year Gandalf Ltd issued a further 300,000 ordinary shares at a price of CU1.25 per share. It
also issued 200,000 7% 50p irredeemable preference shares at par and 100,000 5% 50p redeemable
preference shares at a price of 70p per share. Transaction costs in relation to these share issues were
CU5,000, CU3,000 and CU1,000 respectively.
(2) During the year an ordinary interim dividend of CU30,000 was paid. The accountant has debited this
to finance charges. A further ordinary dividend of CU25,000 was declared on 15 June 20X6 and is
expected to be paid shortly. The accountant has made no entries in respect of this dividend or the
two preference dividends which had been declared by the year end and are due to be paid shortly.
(3) On 1 July 20X5 Gandalf Ltd revalued its freehold land and buildings which were carried in the books at
that date at a cost of CU500,000 (land CU300,000 and buildings CU200,000) and accumulated
depreciation of CU50,000. Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over an original estimated
useful life of 40 years. The valuation showed a fair value for the land of CU600,000 and for the
buildings of CU400,000. The estimated remaining useful life of the buildings was reassessed at the
same date and is believed to be 50 years. Depreciation for the year on freehold land and buildings has
not yet been charged.
(4) On 1 July 20X5 Gandalf Ltd decided to change its depreciation policy for plant and machinery from
20% straight-line to 25% reducing balance. Prior to charging depreciation for the year ended 30 June
20X6 the plant and machinery account showed a cost of CU357,800 and accumulated depreciation of
CU125,700. There were no movements on the plant and machinery account during the year. The
accountant has not yet calculated the depreciation charge for the year as he is unsure how to do this.

QUESTION BANK
(5) Whilst preparing the draft financial statements the accountant discovered an error in the previous
year's financial statements. Expenditure of CU42,500 had been capitalised as an intangible asset
whereas in fact this was in contravention of BAS 38. This expenditure has been subject to an
amortisation charge of 10% in the current year.
Requirements
(a) Calculate a revised profit for the period reflecting the above matters. (4 marks)
(b) Prepare the statement of changes in equity for Gandalf Ltd for the year ended 30 June 20X6.

(c) Explain the difference between financial statements prepared using the accrual basis and those
prepared using the cash accounting or break-up bases, illustrating your answers with simple
calculations. (8 marks)

13 Cagreg Ltd
Cagreg Ltd manufactures and sells heavy plant. The company also hires out plant for monthly periods (or
multiples thereof).
You ascertain the following details.
(1) Freehold land
Freehold land was acquired on 1 February 20X8 for CU100,000 to build a new factory. Due to
planning difficulties, building has not yet been started. The directors wish to revalue the land to its fair
value of CU130,000 at 30 September 20X9.
(2) Buildings
On 1 October 20X8 the directors reviewed the useful life of the buildings and determined that the
remaining life was 56 years. The buildings were acquired for CU200,000 on 1 October 20X4, when
their useful life was estimated at 40 years.
(3) Plant and machinery
Plant and machinery is accounted for under the cost model accounting policy and is depreciated at the
rate of 40% per annum based on carrying amount. Such plant has an estimated life of five years.
(i) Plant which cost CU20,000 on 1 October 20X6 was classified as held for sale on 1 February
20X9. The sale was agreed at CU5,600 and completed on 31 March 20X9.
(ii) New plant acquired cost CU60,000 on 1 January 20X9.
At 1 October 20X8 the cost of plant and machinery (not leased) was CU200,000, with accumulated
depreciation of CU72,000.
(4) Computer
Previously this has been depreciated on a straight-line basis at the rate of 10% per annum on cost. The
computer was acquired on 1 January 20X7 for CU60,000, and by the beginning of this accounting year
CU10,500 of depreciation had been charged. In an effort to charge out computer time to departments,
a record is now kept of computer time used. Management wish to depreciate the computer on a
usage basis. The manufacturer's estimate of total usage time of the computer's life is 40,000 hours. The
data processing manager estimates that some 10,000 hours have been worked prior to the current
accounting period. During the current year the record shows 4,800 hours worked. The computer will
have a scrap value of CU4,500 at the end of its useful life.
Requirements
(a) Prepare the schedule of non-current assets which will form the note to the company's published
balance sheet at 30 September 20X9. (16 marks)
(b) Briefly explain the qualitative characteristics contained in BFRS Framework for the Preparation and

14 Roberts Ltd
Roberts Ltd is a pharmaceutical company owning significant non-current tangible assets which are all initially
recorded at cost. Subsequently, land and buildings are remeasured at fair value when this differs materially
from the carrying amount. Roberts Ltd adopts the policy of transferring the revaluation surplus included in
equity to retained earnings as it is realised.
During the year ended 31 December 20X4 the following events have occurred.
(1) On 30 September 20X4 a fire occurred in the Newcastle factory. All of the inventories and the
majority of the non-current assets located at the site were fully insured and therefore the company
has suffered no loss in respect of those assets. However, one item of specialised machinery had been
transferred into the Newcastle factory on 1 June 20X4 to help the company fulfil a special order.
Unfortunately the insurance company was not notified about this and has refused any compensation.
The specialised machinery originally cost CU2.8 million on 1 February 20X0 and was being depreciated
over eight years. Following the damage caused by the fire, Roberts Ltd has identified two options.
(i) Sell the machine. A prospective purchaser has been identified and has indicated that he would pay
65% of the carrying amount at the date of the fire. However, before the sale takes place, the
purchaser expects Roberts Ltd to carry out repairs to the asset. This work can be done by
employees of Roberts Ltd and will take approximately 600 hours of skilled labour. Such labour is
routinely charged out to customers at an hourly rate of CU38.40 (including a profit margin of
20% on cost). In addition Roberts Ltd will have to pay for the machinery to be moved to its new
location. An estimate of CU21,000 has been obtained from a transport company, and there will
also be a one-off insurance cost for the journey of CU2,000.
(ii) Repair the asset, transfer it to a factory in Belgium and use it there for approximately three years.
The local accountant in Belgium has prepared detailed cash flow projections (which include the
repair costs) and estimates the value in use to be CU600,000.
(2) On 1 April 20X1 Roberts Ltd acquired a plot of land in Cardiff at a cost of CU2.6 million. During
20X1 a factory was built on the land at a cost of CU1.7 million. Additional architects' fees of
CU80,000 were also incurred. The building work was finished on 1 May 20X2, when the factory was
occupied and brought into use.
On 31 December 20X3 the land and buildings were revalued to their fair value of CU7.8 million (with
60% of the value relating to the land). At this date the directors also reassessed the total useful life of
the building, increasing it from 30 to 40 years.
On 31 December 20X4 it was discovered that toxic chemicals had been leaking from the factory into
the land. The building can no longer be used. However, a waste disposal company has offered CU1.5
million for the site (the purchaser intends to demolish the building and use the site for landfill).
Requirements
(a) Calculate the carrying amounts of the land and the buildings (separately) at 31 December 20X3 and
31 December 20X4 and the balance on the revaluation reserve at 31 December 20X4. (6 marks)
(b) Calculate the impairment charges to the income statement for the year ended 31 December 20X4 and
show how they would be disclosed. (7 marks)

15 Dumfries Ltd
Dumfries Ltd, which uses the straight-line method of depreciation, entered into leasing contracts on
1 May 20X4 for certain items of plant and machinery and office equipment. The following information is
relevant.
(1) Plant and machinery with a fair value of CU109,140 was leased under an agreement which required
annual payments of CU31,300 payable in advance. The primary period of the lease is four years, after
which the company can continue to lease the plant and machinery at a nominal rent and is likely to do
so.

as CUnil. Using the interest rate implicit in the lease of 10%, the present value of the minimum lease
payments is CU109,143. The company is fully responsible for the insurance and maintenance of the
plant and machinery.
(2) Office equipment with a fair value of CU60,510 was leased under an agreement which required annual
payments of CU15,000 payable in advance. The company is committed to the lease for three years but
the lessor is responsible for the insurance and maintenance of the equipment. The lessor has
estimated the useful life of the office equipment at 12 years. Using the interest rate implicit in the lease
of 10%, the present value of the minimum lease payments is CU41,040.
Requirements
(a) Indicate how the accounting treatment of assets acquired under finance leases reflects the definition of
elements, the recognition criteria and the measurement bases set out in BFRS Framework.
(6 marks)
(b) For leases (1) and (2) above, using the actuarial method, calculate the amounts to be included in the

(1) A computer-controlled cutting machine was leased at a cost of CU40,000 per annum payable in
advance. The primary lease term is for five years from 1 July 20X7 and the machine is expected to
have a useful life of five years, with no residual value. The machine would have cost CU175,000 if
bought outright. Crieff Ltd is responsible for the maintenance and insurance of the asset. The interest
rate implicit in the agreement is 8% per annum and the present value of the minimum lease payments
is CU172,480.
(2) Items of office equipment were leased at a cost of CU7,500 per month payable in advance. The lease
term is for two years from 1 September 20X7 and can be cancelled at any time by either party to the
lease. Any maintenance is carried out by the lessor. The office equipment would have cost CU300,000
if bought outright, and is expected to have a useful life of six years.
(3) An agreement was entered into on 1 July 20X7 for the lease of an automatic packing machine at an
annual cost of CU30,000 payable in arrears on 30 June each year. The agreement is for five years and
Crieff Ltd has the option to purchase the asset at the end of the five years at a nominal cost. The asset
is expected to have a useful life of eight years. The machine would have cost CU120,000 if bought
outright. The interest rate implicit in the agreement is 8% per annum and the present value of the
minimum lease payments is CU119,790.
(4) A long-term lease of 40 years for land and buildings with lease payments of CU60,000 per annum in
advance was entered into on 1 July 20X7. The fair value of the leasehold interests has been estimated
at CU600,000 of which CU60,000 relates to land and CU540,000 to buildings.

The useful life of the buildings has been professionally assessed at 45 years. The interest rate implicit in
the lease is 10% and the present value of the minimum lease payments attributable to the buildings is
CU528,120.
Requirements
(a) Briefly explain the concepts underlying the accounting treatments required by BAS 17 Leases with
reference to BFRS Framework. (3 marks)
(b) Calculate the appropriate amounts to be disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended

17 ITC Solutions Ltd

ITC Solutions Ltd (ITC) is a company assembling and selling computers. You are the financial accountant of
the company and you have prepared draft annual financial statements for the year ended 28 February 20X5,
for the approval of the board.
The CEO has challenged the figure for revenue as it is less than the figure he was expecting, based on his
personal records. He asked you to provide an analysis of revenue from each client, which he compared to
his own figures, and he has found three apparent discrepancies. These apparent discrepancies relate to the
following transactions:
(1) ITC entered into a fixed price contract for CU120,000 with Arial Ltd to build a computer. Work had
begun on this project; the costs incurred to date were CU60,000 and it was estimated to be two-
thirds completed. However, the engineers have just discovered an incompatibility between two key
components and the work on the computer to date will need major revisions. It is difficult to estimate
the costs of completing the work because of the complexity of the new hardware. It is considered that
CU50,000 of the costs incurred to date are recoverable from Arial Ltd.
(2) ITC acts as an agent for ProMarket Ltd, a marketing company. The arrangement is that ITC offers to

18 Withington Ltd
Withington Ltd is organised into several divisions. The following events relate to the year ended
31 December 20X0.
(1) A number of customers have initiated legal proceedings relating to the supply of electrical transformer
units during 20X0. Two thousand units were installed during the year. A number proved to be faulty.
Following adverse publicity substantially all of the customers are claiming the units are faulty.
Withington Ltd's lawyers have confirmed that they believe 25% of the claims are defendable at no cost.
The average level of damages per successful claim is estimated at CU1,000. A similar provision was in
place at 31 December 20W9 disclosed in the balance sheet at CU1 million. CU800,000 was paid out in
such claims during 20X0.
(2) A mechanical transformer unit supplied to Swithin Ltd during the year exploded, causing a fire. Swithin
Ltd has initiated legal proceedings for damages of CU10 million against Withington Ltd. A legal expert
has advised Withington Ltd that there is only a 30% chance of defending the claim successfully. The
present value of this claim has been estimated at CU9 million. The expert has investigated the cause of
the problem with a team of accident consultants. Together they have concluded that parts supplied by
George Ltd to Withington Ltd for inclusion in the transformer unit were defective and contributed to
the explosion. They have estimated that George Ltd's contributory negligence is 40% of any final
settlement. Negotiations have commenced with George Ltd and the legal expert believes that this
claim is likely to succeed.
(3) On 1 January 20X0 Withington Ltd installed a new electric machine. The electric machine cost
CU200,000 and has an expected life of 20 years. The machine is lined with a special compound. The
lining needs replacing every four years. The cost of the lining included within the machine cost is
CU40,000. The financial controller proposes to capitalise the machine at CU200,000 and depreciate
over 20 years, while building up a replacement provision over four years for the relining of the
machine.
(4) Withington Ltd has begun the extraction of metal ore in an overseas country, Didland. On 1 January
20X0 Withington Ltd erected some infrastructure on the site at a cost of CU200,000. Withington Ltd
has a five year operating licence issued by Didland government for the site. Didland has no
environmental clean-up law enacted. Withington Ltd made public statements during the licence
negotiations that as a responsible company it would restore the environment at the end of the licence.
At the end of five years the cost of removing the infrastructure has been estimated at CU100,000. In
addition, further clean-up costs will be progressively created as the ore is extracted. On the basis of
the planned extraction, the total cost of cleaning up the extracted ore hole will be CU400,000 at the
end of five years. Extraction commenced on 1 January 20X0 and is currently at planned levels.
(5) On 1 July 20X0 Withington Ltd entered into a two-year, fixed price, long run manufacturing contract
with Franklin Ltd. Withington Ltd is manufacturing 1,000 processor units per month. The forecast
profit per unit was CU10 but, due to unforeseen cost increases and production problems, each unit is
anticipated to make a loss of CU7. The compensation payable for not fulfilling the contract is CU2
million.
(6) During the year a restructuring of the Chuckholder division began. The aim of the plan was to reduce
costs and improve business efficiency. The division has not been separately reported as a business
segment, and accounts for only 2% of group revenue. The plan was implemented on 1 September
20X0, when the main attributes were announced to the workforce.
At 31 December 20X0 the anticipated further costs to be incurred are as follows.
CU'000
Redundancy costs 1,000
Lease termination 2,300
Retraining 1,100
Relocation 2,100
Marketing relaunch 1,400
Investment in new systems 1,000
8,900

Requirements
(a) Prepare the provisions and contingencies note for the financial statements for the year ended
31 December 20X0, including narrative commentary. (15 marks)
(b) Calculate the annual depreciation charge for 20X0 arising from the above transactions. (3 marks)

21 Okehampton Ltd
Okehampton Ltd carries land and buildings under the revaluation model allowed by BAS 16 Property, Plant
and Equipment and plant and equipment under the cost model.
On 30 June 20X6 Okehampton Ltd decided to sell four of its non-current assets, all of which met the held
for sale criteria under BFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations on that date.
Details of these four assets are as follows.
(1) The George House land and buildings had a carrying amount of CU300,000 at 31 December 20X5 and
as it had originally cost CU200,000, a surplus of CU100,000 stood in the revaluation reserve in respect
of it at that date. Depreciation on the buildings element is charged at the rate of CU6,000 per annum;
on historical cost the annual charge would have been CU4,000. On 30 June 20X6 and 31 December
20X6 its fair value was estimated as CU320,000 and the costs to sell at CU9,000. It was sold in 20X7
for CU350,000 net of selling expenses.
(2) The Elizabeth House land and buildings had a carrying amount of CU400,000 at 31 December 20X5
and as it had originally cost CU350,000, a surplus of CU50,000 stood in the revaluation reserve in
respect of it at that date. Depreciation on the buildings element is charged at the rate of CU12,000
per annum; on historical cost the annual charge would have been CU8,000. On 30 June 20X6 and 31
December 20X6 its fair value was estimated as CU360,000 and the costs to sell at CU8,000. It was
sold in 20X7 for CU310,000 net of selling expenses.
(3) The Axford item of plant had a carrying amount of CU200,000 at 31 December 20X5. Depreciation is
charged at the rate of CU20,000 per annum. On 30 June 20X6 and 31 December 20X6 its fair value
was estimated as CU140,000 and the costs to sell at CU9,000. It was sold in 20X7 for CU120,000 net
of selling expenses.
(4) The Waterman item of plant had a carrying amount of CU600,000 at 31 December 20X5.
Depreciation is charged at the rate of CU90,000 per annum. On 30 June 20X6 and 31 December
20X6 its fair value was estimated as CU620,000 and the costs to sell at CU15,000. It was sold in 20X7
for CU635,000 net of selling expenses.
The balance on Okehampton Ltd's revaluation reserve at 31 December 20X5 was CU370,000 and there
were no movements on that reserve other than those in respect of George House and Elizabeth House.
Requirements
Prepare detailed calculations of:
(a) The carrying amounts of these four assets at 31 December 20X6 and the balance on the revaluation

22 Banchory Ltd
You have been approached by the financial controller of Banchory Ltd. She has asked you to prepare some
information in relation to the company's draft financial statements for the year ended 30 April 20X0 which
show a draft consolidated profit before tax of CU2,665,000. Details are as follows.
(1) Banchory Ltd has lodged a claim of CU500,000 against one of its suppliers for faulty materials supplied
and the consequential loss arising from their use. The supplier has contested the validity of this claim
and the legal costs arising from this dispute amounted to CU40,000 by 30 April 20X0. The companys
solicitors have advised the directors that, although the outcome is not clear, they have a good case,
and the draft accounts show a receivable for CU500,000 due from the supplier with the corresponding
credit to cost of sales. No adjustment has been made for the legal costs which have not yet been paid.

QUESTION BANK
On 31 May 20X0 Banchory Ltds quality control staff obtained independent evidence which shows that
the materials were faulty. The companys solicitors advise that it is now probable that the claim will be
settled in full.
(2) Banchory Ltd issues one-year warranties to customers on the supply of some of its products. The
company has experienced a significant rise in the incidence of claims by customers since 1 May 20W9.
Agreed claims now amount to 10% of the sales of these products. Claims tend to arise two months
after the date of sale of the products. Sales subject to warranty in the last six months of the year
amounted to CU6 million. No adjustments have been made to the financial statements in respect of
this matter.
(3) Banchory Ltds solicitors have advised the directors about correspondence from a past employee
claiming unfair dismissal with effect from 4 May 20X0. The claim, which has been provided for in the
draft financial statements, amounts to CU300,000 and the solicitors consider that it is highly unlikely
the company will have to pay any amount.
(4) The companys issued share capital on 1 May 20W9 was 2,000,000 ordinary shares of CU1 each, with
an authorised share capital of 4,000,000 ordinary CU1 shares. There was also an opening balance on
the share premium account of CU450,000. Retained earnings on 1 May 20W9 were CU3,672,000.
This figure is before any retrospective adjustments posted in the year ended 30 April 20X0.
On 31 March 20X0 the company made a 1 for 10 bonus issue. This was followed by a rights issue of 1
for 4 ordinary shares at CU1.75 on 15 April 20X0, when the current market price of each share was
CU2.00.
The entire proceeds of the rights issue were immediately used to acquire the share capital of a
company whose net assets at the date of acquisition had a carrying amount of CU850,000 and a fair
value of CU950,000. The acquired business has not performed to expectations and an impairment
write-down to CUnil is required.
(5) During the year the decision was taken to close down one of the companys two factories, completing
the process, including the sale of the factory unit, prior to the year end. The only gain or loss relating
to this closure was that on the disposal of the factory unit and this has been reflected in the draft
results. At the time this decision was taken, the fair value of the factory was estimated at CU3.05
million and the costs to sell it at CU50,000. The factory was eventually sold for CU3.1 million, net of
selling expenses. At the time of classification as held for sale the factory had a carrying amount of
CU2.1 million. The factory had been included in the balance sheet at valuation and the profit on
disposal, which has been included in the draft results, is based on the historical cost carrying amount of
CU1.3 million. The opening balance on the revaluation reserve was CU800,000.
(6) A machine bought on 1 May 20W7 for CU1,800,000 was then thought to have a useful life of ten
years. However, as at 1 May 20W9 it was discovered that the total useful life of this asset is actually
only six years. The revision of the useful life has been dealt with as a change in accounting policy. This
asset is being depreciated on a straight-line basis with an estimated residual value of CUnil.
(7) On 30 October 20W9 Banchory Ltd revalued a freehold building, which had a remaining life of 50
years. The revaluation surplus of CU500,000 has not been recognised in the financial statements but
the depreciation charge for the period, which has been included in the draft profit, has been based on
the revalued amount.
Requirements
(a) Prepare the provisions and contingencies notes for the financial statements for the year ended
30 April 20X0. (4 marks)
(b) Calculate a revised consolidated profit before tax figure for the year ended 30 April 20X0. (6 marks)
(c) Prepare the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year ended 30 April 20X0. (8 marks)

23 Banff Ltd
Banff Ltd sells computer hardware, with or without support services, and also develops unique software.
The following matters are outstanding in the preparation of the published financial statements for the year
ended 30 April 20X1.
(1) The company has drawn up a detailed formal plan for the closure of its distribution division, which has
operated as a separate cost centre, intending to sub-contract this work in the future. This plan has
been approved by the board of directors and announced to employees by the year end. The plan
identified the following costs.
CU
Redundancy costs 250,000
Costs of early termination of existing contracts 100,000
Anticipated future operating losses 1 May 20X1 to date of closure in June 20X1 190,000
The company expects to realise a profit of CU90,000 on disposal of the non-current assets in the
division to be closed. These assets are accounted for under the cost model accounting policy.
(2) The company has been constructing a specialised item of plant and machinery for its own use. The
item had been completed by the year end, and the construction director has summarised the costs
which his department was charged.
CU
Materials 100,000
Labour costs
Factory staff 100,000
Supervision staff (one additional supervisor employed for this project) 15,000
Professional fees sub-contracted designers 22,000
Installation costs 13,000
Administration costs recharged by other departments payroll, personnel,
purchasing (no additional staff required) 11,000
Labour costs include CU20,000 relating to delays in the delivery of components. These arose through
Banff Ltd mis-scheduling deliveries.
The plant is expected to have a useful life of ten years with no residual value. Major overhauls will
need to be carried out every four years at a cost of CU80,000. The company intends to provide
CU20,000 annually to meet this cost.
(3) Banff Ltd entered into a six-year finance lease for plant and machinery on 1 May 20X0, paying a
deposit of CU100,000 to be followed by five equal annual instalments of CU150,000 on 1 May in each
subsequent year. The purchase price of the asset if bought outright would be CU780,000. The
company uses the sum-of-the-digits method to allocate finance charges. Apart from recording the
payment of the deposit on 1 May 20X0, no other accounting entry has been made for this finance
lease.
(4) The hardware division made a sale of a computer on 1 May 20X0. The proceeds of CU4 million were
received on 1 July 20X0 and recognised as revenue. The fee included the supply of hardware and a
four year maintenance contract covering maintenance support. The costs of providing that support on
similar contracts have been CU500,000 per annum, and the mark-up on those maintenance contracts
was 50% on cost.
(5) The software division entered into a CU3 million contract on 1 May 20W9 to develop a unique
product for a customer. At 30 April 20X0 the contract was estimated at 25% complete. However, as
the costs to complete could not be estimated reliably, only the costs incurred of CU200,000 were
recognised as revenue. During the year to 30 April 20X1 a further CU2 million of costs have been
incurred and included within inventory. The contract is now thought to be 75% complete, something
confirmed by an independent expert assessor who has also estimated the costs to complete as
CU400,000 and has confirmed the feasibility of the product. No invoice has yet been rendered to the
customer.
(6) On 1 May 20W9 Banff Ltd acquired an item of plant for CU1 million. The useful life was estimated as
eight years. The carrying amount in the financial statements at 30 April 20X1 is CU750,000 under the
cost model accounting policy. On 1 February 20X1 the plant was considered to be surplus to
requirements and the management concluded that the carrying amount would be principally recovered

QUESTION BANK
through sale. A professional agent estimated its fair value as CU900,000 and it was advertised for sale
on 1 February 20X1 at that price. The agent charges a 3% commission. While the plant is available for
immediate sale, Banff Ltd has continued to use it for training and incidental production purposes. The
other activities undertaken on the machine have been transferred to other items of plant. A third
party has made an offer at the asking price and it is expected that the sale will be completed during
20X1.
Requirements
(a) Prepare relevant extracts from the income statement for Banff Ltd for the year ended 30 April 20X1
and the balance sheet as at that date. You are not required to prepare any disclosure notes.

2,898,000 688,400 2,209,600
The freehold land and buildings relate to the factory site, of which the land cost CU1 million. On 1 July
20X2 the site was revalued to CU2.36 million, of which CU1.6 million relates to the land.
The annual review of the expected lives of the property, plant and equipment has revealed that a
machine purchased for CU150,000 on 1 July 20X0 now has a remaining useful life of only five years.
Plant and machinery costing CU430,000 was purchased on 1 January 20X3. There were no disposals.
Depreciation is provided on cost on a straight-line basis. The rates used are 2% per annum for
buildings and 10% per annum for plant and machinery.
(2) On 1 July 20X2 the company leased a grinding machine under an eight year contract. Lease payments
are CU65,000 per annum payable in arrears, commencing on 30 June 20X3. The only entry made in
the accounts has been to recognise this years lease payment as an expense in the income statement as
part of administrative expenses.
The lease agreement shows that the rate of interest implicit in the lease is approximately 5%, and the
lessee is responsible for the maintenance of the machine. The present value of the minimum lease
payments is CU419,900.
Other working papers show that the cash price of the machine was CU450,000, and it has an
expected useful life of ten years.
(3) Skinner Ltd manufactures one product, a food processor. The costs of making a processor have been
established as follows.

25 Rosetta Ltd
Rosetta Ltd, a listed group, is a multinational enterprise that focuses on developing and delivering
psychometric tests for recruitment purposes and a wide range of training courses/products.
The group is currently finalising its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 20X2.
These were prepared by the CEO in the absence of a financial controller. The draft income statement
shows profit before tax of CU17 million, which represents a 16% increase on the previous year.
As the newly-appointed financial controller you have been asked to review the following matters.
(1) At the start of the year an extensive review was carried out on all the property, plant and equipment
held by the group. Following advice from an independent industry expert, the following changes were
made with effect from 1 January 20X2.
The method of depreciation used on certain items of printing equipment was changed. The
equipment was originally purchased on 1 January 20X1 for CU12 million and was initially
depreciated using a 15% reducing-balance method. This is to be changed to straight-line over a
total useful life of five years.
The total useful life of some property originally purchased on 1 January 20X0 for CU40 million
was reduced from 25 to 20 years.
In the draft accounts both of the above items have been dealt with as adjustments to the retained
earnings brought forward at 1 January 20X2. Retained earnings as restated are shown as CU35 million
in the draft accounts.
(2) During the current year the group has expanded into the computer-based training market. This has
been achieved in two ways.
(i) Via the acquisition on 1 January 20X2 of 60% of Newtrain Ltd, a company which already had a
portfolio of CD-Rom training products. To integrate Newtrain Ltd into the group, Rosetta Ltd
planned substantially to reorganise its operations over the first three months of ownership, so at

QUESTION BANK
the acquisition date a reorganisation provision of CU1.2 million was recognised. Goodwill arising
in the business combination was then measured at CU6 million.
In the draft accounts the goodwill has been amortised over its estimated useful life of twenty
years. An impairment review at 31 December 20X2 revealed its recoverable amount to be
CU4.1 million.
(ii) Via the internal development of new IT technology which allows for close monitoring of trainees
progression through the learning material. The project was started in early February 20X2 and
the final product was successfully launched on 30 November 20X2. At that date the following
costs were capitalised as an intangible non-current asset.
CU
IT hardware (purchased 1 February 20X2, useful life 48 months) 600,000
Employment costs of those developing the product 1,800,000
Costs incurred in training staff to deliver the new product 480,000
2,880,000
This total cost is being amortised over the product's expected useful life of 72 months.
60% of the employment costs were incurred prior to 31 August 20X2, the date on which the
technical feasibility and financial viability of the product were confirmed. A competitor has
recently approached Rosetta Ltd and offered CU6 million for the know-how embodied in the
product. As a result, the intangible asset has been revalued to CU6 million in the draft financial
statements, and a gain of CU3,160,000 recognised in the income statement.
Intangible assets at 1 January 20X2 comprised goodwill in respect of an earlier acquisition of
CU2,100,000. Accumulated impairment losses in relation to that goodwill at 1 January 20X2 were
CU300,000. A further CU200,000 still needs to be recognised in the current year.
Requirements
(a) Prepare the note analysing the movement on intangible assets which would appear in the financial
statements of Rosetta Ltd for the year ended 31 December 20X2. (6 marks)
(b) Calculate a revised pre-tax profit for the year ended 31 December 20X2 and the correct retained

Arran Ltd acquired its holding in Islay Ltd for CU1,600,000 when the fair value of the net assets
of Islay Ltd was CU1,400,000. The net assets of Islay Ltd on 1 June 20X0 were CU1,700,000.
Goodwill impairment reviews to the start of the current year revealed cumulative impairments of
CU96,000 in relation to the acquisition of Islay Ltd.
Millport Ltd sold goods to Arran Ltd on 1 January 20X1 for CU480,000, at a mark-up on cost of
331/3%. Arran Ltd still had half of these goods in inventory at the year end.
Arran Ltd has not yet accounted for the disposal of Islay Ltd.
(2) Property, plant and equipment in the draft financial statements is currently stated as follows.
CU
Arran Ltd 5,500,000
Jura Ltd 3,400,000

The directors had planned to carry out an impairment review of certain items of plant at 31 May
20X1. However, they were too busy to do this and the review was therefore carried out in June
20X1. It revealed the following in respect of machines owned by Jura Ltd and Millport Ltd.
Jura Ltd Millport Ltd

Carrying amount 500,000 100,000
Fair value 400,000 80,000
Costs to sell 50,000 10,000
Value in use 390,000 60,000
No falls below carrying amounts were identified at that date in respect of the plant and machinery of
Arran Ltd. However, a fire at one of Arran Ltds processing units on 1 July 20X1 destroyed much of
the plant at that unit. This plant had a carrying amount at 31 May 20X1 of CU1 million. Unfortunately,
the directors had not kept their insurance valuations up to date and, as a result, only expect to
recover 50% of this amount.
Depreciation and impairments on plant and machinery are charged to cost of sales. The income
statement extracts above do not reflect the above issues. All falls in value are considered to have
taken place in the second half of the year to 31 May 20X1.
Requirements
(a) Calculate the following amounts for inclusion in the consolidated income statement of Arran Ltd for
the year ended 31 May 20X1.
(i) Cost of sales
(ii) Profit arising on the disposal of Islay Ltd
(iii) Share of profits of associates
(iv) Tax charge (12 marks)

QUESTION BANK
(b) Calculate the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment for inclusion in the consolidated
balance sheet of Arran Ltd as at 31 May 20X1 and prepare any relevant extracts from the financial
statements arising from (2) above. (3 marks)
(c) Explain the rationale for the required treatment of each of the items in (a) above. (6 marks)

27 Elie Ltd
The directors of Elie Ltd are in the process of preparing financial statements for the year ended 30 June
20X2. They have asked you to assist them with certain calculations, details of which are set out below.
(1) On 1 July 20X1 Elie Ltd acquired 80% of the CU1 million ordinary share capital of Monans Ltd by
issuing 200,000 CU1 ordinary shares. Elie Ltds ordinary shares were quoted at CU17 on 1 July 20X1.
Professional fees to support the acquisition process amounted to CU90,000. A further amount of
CU92,000 is payable in cash on 1 July 20X2.
An issue of a further 24,000 shares is contingent on Monans Ltd achieving a 10% increase in revenue in
the year ended 31 October 20X2. These extra shares would be issued on 1 July 20X3. Monans Ltd has
achieved increases in revenue over the past five years of 11%, 8%, 10%, 11% and 12% (from the
earliest to the most recent year).
The net assets of Monans Ltd in its accounts as at 1 July 20X1 were CU3 million, with fair value CU1
million higher than carrying amount.
Elie Ltd has identified the following matters not recognised in the financial statements of Monans Ltd
as at 1 July 20X1.
A legal claim had been made by Monans Ltd against a supplier for damages suffered as a result of
faulty goods supplied to Monans Ltd. At the acquisition date the companys lawyers considered it
virtually certain that the claim would succeed. The fair value of the claim was assessed as
CU200,000 and this amount was received in December 20X1. Monans Ltd disclosed CU200,000
as a contingent asset at the acquisition date.
Operating losses of CU300,000 were expected to be incurred in the 6 months after acquisition.
Reorganisation costs of CU100,000 were to be incurred to bring Monans Ltds systems into line
with those of the group. A detailed plan for these changes was not yet in existence and no
announcement for such changes had been made.
A fall of CU50,000 in the value of inventories held on 30 June 20X1 due to a fire at a warehouse
on 5 July 20X1. The inventories now have a net realisable value of CU5,000. All inventories in the
group at 30 June 20X2 were correctly valued.
The goodwill impairment review at 30 June 20X2 revealed a loss of CU70,000 in relation to this
acquisition.
(2) The consolidated income statement currently shows a profit for the period of CU1,456,500 but has
not yet been adjusted to reflect any adjustments required as a result of matter (1) above.
In addition to the ordinary shares issued on acquisition of Monans Ltd Elie Ltd also issued 300,000
redeemable and 200,000 irredeemable preference shares during the year. All preference shares were
issued at a premium of CU0.20p over their nominal value of CU1 per share and have a coupon rate of
5%.
The following ordinary dividends were declared by Elie Ltd.
15 July 20X1 10p per share
10 July 20X2 15p per share
All of the preference dividends were declared before the end of the year.
No adjustments to the draft financial statements have been made in respect of these dividends.
On 1 July 20X1 Elie Ltd had the following balances on its consolidated capital and reserves.

CU
Ordinary shares 1,000,000
Share premium 500,000
Retained earnings 5,678,500
7,428,500
(3) The revaluation reserve arose in 20X0 when the companys plant and machinery was revalued. One
item of plant, which was purchased on 1 July 20W8 for CU100,000 and was revalued to CU120,000
on 1 July 20X0, was subjected to an impairment review on 30 June 20X2. The review revealed that
this asset now has a recoverable amount of CU50,000.
Elie Ltds depreciation policy is to depreciate all plant on a 10% straight-line basis, whether based on
cost or on revalued amount. Elie Ltd makes an annual transfer between the revaluation reserve and
retained earnings as a result of its revaluations in accordance with best practice.
Depreciation for the year ended 30 June 20X2 has already been correctly charged to the income
statement and includes depreciation on the above impaired asset. No adjustment has been made as yet
in respect of the above impairment. If total depreciation had been calculated on cost as opposed to on
revalued amounts, the charge would have been CU45,000 lower.
Requirements
(a) Calculate the amount of goodwill acquired in the business combination with Monans Ltd that would be
carried in the group accounts of Elie Ltd for the year ended 30 June 20X2. (6 marks)
(b) Prepare the following columns only from the consolidated statement of changes in equity for Elie Ltd
for the year ended 30 June 20X2: ordinary share capital, irredeemable preference share capital, share
premium and revaluation reserve.

(5) At the time Ullapool Ltd was acquired the company was in dispute with one of its suppliers, giving rise

CU98,000 and the liability was still outstanding as at the year end. In addition, at acquisition Ullapool
Ltd held raw materials which had cost CU30,000 but which had a replacement cost of CU42,000. This
inventory was all sold following the acquisition.

(b) Fair presentation

BAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements describes the concept of fair presentation. Fair presentation
involves
Representing faithfully the effect of transactions, other events and conditions
In accordance with the definitions and recognition criteria in BFRS Framework
This is developed by stating that the application of IFRS, Interpretations and additional disclosures will
result in fair presentation.
BAS 1 requires the financial statements to present fairly the financial position and performance of an
entity rather than to give a true and fair view. Present fairly is further described as representing
faithfully the effects of transactions and as a result there is unlikely to be a difference between the two.
Whilst not dealing with the concepts directly, BFRS Framework uses the descriptions of fair
presentation and true and fair view interchangeably in its discussion of the application of the principal
qualitative characteristics of financial information.

(b) Objectives of financial statements

The objective of financial statements as set out in BFRS Framework is to provide information about the
financial position, performance and changes in financial position of an enterprise that is useful to a wide
range of users in making economic decisions.
Users will include present and potential investors, employees, lenders, suppliers, customers,
government agencies and the general public.
However, this objective can usually be met by focusing exclusively on the information needs of present
and potential investors. This is because much of the financial information that is relevant to investors
will also be relevant to other users.
Information about financial position is primarily provided by the balance sheet which will allow users to
assess:
The entity's ability to generate cash (e.g. for a manufacturing company, from a strong non-current
asset base)
How future cash flows will be distributed (e.g. disclosed borrowings with applicable rates of
interest)
Requirements for future finance (e.g. disclosed expansion plans)

The ability to meet financial commitments as they fall due (e.g. disclosed due dates of
borrowings)
Information about financial performance is primarily provided by the income statement and statement
of changes in equity. For example, the disclosure of continuing and discontinued operations will
provide information about potential changes in the company's economic resources in the future.
Information about changes in financial position is given in the cash flow statement. This will show
where the company's cash has come from (e.g. from operating cash flows or only from one-off sources
such as sales of non-current assets) and its need to use what is generated (e.g. in meeting loan
repayment schedules).

(b) Accounting requirements for not-for-profit entities
The objective of most company directors is to make a profit in order to maximise return on the
shareholders' investment in that company. However, not-for-profit entities have other considerations.
For example, not-for-profit entities might include the following:
NGOs whose objective will be to maximise revenue and minimise running costs in order to pay
as much out as a 'cost' of charitable awards
Public sector schools whose objective will be to add as much value as possible to their pupils
whilst operating within their means (i.e. not to make a profit but to achieve good results whilst
not making a loss)
Public sector hospitals whose objective will be to provide a high quality of patient care, again,
whilst operating within their means.
The 'success' of such entities will often be subject to non-profit measures such as their position in
league tables (exam results for schools, patient survival rates for hospitals).
Nonetheless, many of these entities will be subject to various reporting requirements.

Many of these organisations may still operate as companies. In this case they will be subject to local
legislation and accounting regulation, such as Companies Act and BFRS.
In addition, many not-for-profit entities will need to comply with regulation specific to their
sector. For example, in Bangladesh, NGOs are required to comply with the Foreign Donations
Regulations 1978.
Public sector bodies will be subject to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSASs)
where there is no national legislation.

Note to income statement

Certain inventories have been written down by CU8,323 to their net realisable value.
(b) Different concepts of capital and capital maintenance
There are two main capital maintenance concepts: financial capital maintenance and physical capital
maintenance (also called operating capital maintenance).
Financial capital maintenance measures capital as the equity in the balance sheet. So profit will be
measured as the increase in capital over the period, after allowing for any inflows or outflows to or
from the owners of the business.
This increase in capital can either be measured in monetary terms or in terms of constant purchasing
power.
For example, say a business commenced on 1 January 20X1 with a contribution of CU1,000 from its
owners. During the year, this cash was used to purchase 100 units for CU10 each. These units were
then sold for CU1,100 cash.
Opening capital is CU1,000 and closing capital is CU1,100. Profit for the year would therefore be
measured as CU100.
However, the constant purchasing power variation of this system would also look at adjusting opening
capital in order to maintain the general purchasing power of the business. In the above example, say
that the increase in RPI over the year was 5%. An adjustment would be made to the opening capital of
CU50 (5% CU1,000) reducing profit for the year to CU50. This would ensure that even if the entity
paid out all of its profits it would retain sufficient funds in order to be able to continue in business. So,
assuming that units now cost CU10.50 each (CU10 105%), the business still has sufficient cash of
CU1,050 (CU1,100 minus the CU50 paid out) to purchase a further 100 units to sell.
However, the problem with this approach is that general price changes may not be appropriate to that
particular entity (or industry). The physical capital maintenance concept therefore looks at
adjusting opening capital in order to maintain the physical productive capacity of the business. It uses
specific as opposed to general price changes.
In the example, it may therefore be that these units actually now cost CU10.75 each to buy. Therefore
an adjustment of CU75 would be made to the opening capital, reducing profit for the year to CU25.
Even if all of that profit was paid out the entity would then still be left with sufficient cash of CU1,075
(CU1,100 minus the CU25 paid out) so that it can purchase a further 100 units to sell.

Tutorial notes and assumptions

(1) The budgeted level of production for 30 September 20X4 has been used in calculating the cost of a
finished goods unit, because it represents normal capacity. It is not appropriate to use the actual level
of production when it has been affected by the interruption to the supply of raw materials (BAS 2 para
13). The use of 700,000 units results in more cost being recognised as an expense in the year than if
the 500,000 had been used.
(2) The exclusion of the CU100,000 compensation received from the finished goods unit calculation has
the effect of leaving it as a credit in the income statement, to offset the abnormal additional expenses
written off under (1) above (BAS 2 para 16(a)).
(3) Design and marketing overheads have been included in the calculation on the grounds that the
company manufactures to customers' requirements for all orders, and on the assumption that there
are firm sales contracts. It would be possible to exclude them.
(4) It would be possible to include distribution overheads in the calculation on the basis that they are
internal overheads which have been incurred in bringing the product to its present location/condition.

(c) Different bases of accounting

Under the accrual basis, transactions are recognised when they occur, not when the related cash flows
into or out of the entity. This means that:
Sales are recorded when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. This means that,
for credit sales, a receivable will be set up when the sale is recorded.
Expenses are recognised when the goods or services are consumed. So a payable will be set up
for any credit purchases and there will be an adjustment for opening and closing inventory.
The consumption of non-current assets will be recognised over their useful lives via a
depreciation charge.
Under the cash basis of accounting only the cash impact of a transaction is recorded. This means that:
Sales will only be recorded when the cash is received, so there will be no receivables in respect
of credit sales.
Expenses will only be recorded when the cash is paid, so there will be no payables in respect of
credit purchases and no inventory adjustment.
No depreciation will be charged on non-current assets as the purchase of an asset will be treated
as an expense at the time the cash is paid.
For example, say a business commenced on 1 January 20X1 with a cash contribution of CU1,000 from
its owners. That cash was used to buy goods costing CU400 and a machine with a useful life of four
years for CU200. Goods costing CU300 were purchased on credit and the business made cash sales of
CU500 and sales on credit of CU400. Closing inventory at cost is CU50.

The break-up basis is primarily relevant to the balance sheet. It reflects the fact that the business is no
longer a going concern. Under the break-up basis:
All assets and liabilities are classified as current.
Assets are valued on the basis of recoverable amounts rather than at cost. In the case of a forced
sale such values are likely to be less than cost.

(b) Qualitative characteristics and BAS 16

Understandability
Information must be readily understandable to users so that they can perceive its significance. This is
dependent on how information is presented and how it is categorised.
For example, BAS 16 requires disclosures to be given by each class of property, plant and equipment.
Therefore it will be clear what types of assets have been purchased during the year and what types of
assets have been sold. If this information were merged over one class it would be less understandable.
Relevance
Information is relevant if it influences the economic decisions of users.
The choice of the revaluation model as a measurement model in BAS 16 provides relevant information by
showing up-to-date values. This will help give an indication as to what the entity's underlying assets are worth.
Reliability
Information is reliable if it is free from error or bias, complete and portrays events in a way that
reflects their reality.
Although the revaluation model gives relevant information this information is generally seen to be less
reliable than the cost model the other measurement model allowed by BAS 16. The cost model is
based on historic costs which are not the most relevant costs on which to base future decisions.
However, historic cost is reliable being based on fact.
Comparability
Users must be able to compare information with that of previous periods or with that of another
entity. Comparability is achieved via consistency and disclosure.
BAS 16 facilitates comparability between companies by requiring the disclosure of accounting policies
(in accordance with BAS 1) in respect of, for example, depreciation methods and measurement bases.
BAS 16 allows comparability between the cost and the revaluation model (for example to facilitate
comparison between two companies who have adopted different models) by requiring equivalent cost
information to be disclosed under the revaluation model. It also requires disclosures (in accordance
with BAS 8) of the effect of a change in an accounting estimate such as useful lives or depreciation
rates. This facilitates comparison.

(a) BFRS Framework and accounting for finance leases

Elements of financial statements
Assets/liabilities
A non-current asset acquired under a finance lease meets the definition of an asset as it is
Controlled by the lessee (which has physical possession of the asset)
Results from a past event (e.g. the lease agreements signed on 1 May 20X4)
Gives rise to future economic benefits, i.e. the use of the asset to generate revenue
even though the asset is not legally owned by the lessee.
The lease payments are a liability as the company has an obligation arising from a past transaction to
transfer economic benefits, i.e. to make lease payments. Under most lease contracts the lessee will not
be able to cancel these payments.
Recognition
The asset and liability should be recognised if
It is probable that future economic benefits will flow to or from the company, and
Those benefits can be measured reliably.
The inflows and outflows are probable as a contract has been signed.
The benefits can be measured reliably at the present value of the minimum lease payments or fair value.
Measurement
The two main bases of measurement are historical cost and current cost. Leased assets are basically
included at historical cost, i.e. the minimum lease payments, although these are discounted to show
cost in 'today's pounds'.

(a) BAS 17 concepts

BAS Framework sets out the qualitative characteristics of financial statements, one of which is
reliability. One aspect of reliability is that of faithful representation. For information to represent
transactions faithfully, those transactions should be accounted for in accordance with substance and
economic reality, not merely legal form.
Substance is not always consistent with legal form. An example of this is a finance lease, where
substantially all the risks and rewards relating to a non-current asset are transferred to the lessee even
though legal title remains with the lessor.
As the lessee controls the asset and will gain benefit from it, it should be treated as an asset.
Conversely, the requirement to pay instalments to the lessor is a liability. BAS Framework requires the
lessee to recognise these elements in its financial statements.

Tutorial notes
(1) As the office equipment operating lease is cancellable at any time by either party, no operating lease
commitment disclosure is required.
(2) Useful life is taken to be eight years for agreement (3) rather than the agreement term of five years.
This is because the option to acquire at the end of the agreement is assumed to take place from the
outset of the agreement, given the nominal cost involved.
(3) Assets held under finance leases should be capitalised at the lower of fair value (normally cash price)
and the present value of minimum lease payments.

(a) Recognition of elements of financial statements

Financial statements portray the financial effects of transactions and other events. BFRS Framework
splits these transactions into broad classes according to their economic characteristics. These classes
are referred to as the 'elements' of financial statements.
Elements relevant to the measurement of financial position in the balance sheet are: assets, liabilities
and equity.
Elements relevant to the measurement of financial performance in the income statement are: income
and expenses.
Although there are specific definitions which relate to each type of element, each element is only
'recognised' in the financial statements if:
It is probable that any future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to or from the
entity, and
The item has a cost or value which can be measured reliably.
Recognition means incorporating the item into the income statement or balance sheet by depicting the
item in words and by including it as a monetary amount.
(b) Application of the above principles to the three transactions
(1) Fixed price contract to build computer
Revenue = recoverable costs = CU50,000
Because the outcome of the project is uncertain it is not yet probable that future benefits for the
whole of this CU120,000 will flow to the entity. There is only certainty over the CU50,000 which
is considered to be recoverable and can be reliably measured (being part of actual costs incurred
of CU60,000). Hence only CU50,000 should be recognised as revenue this year.
The costs incurred this year of CU60,000, which have already led to an outflow of benefits and
can be reliably measured (as actual costs) should also have been recognised (as an expense). As a
result, a loss of CU10,000 will be recognised in the current year.
ANSWER BANK
(2) Agency commission

Revenue = agency commission = CU300,000 15% = CU45,000
Although the CU300,000 can be reliably measured, the economic benefit from the whole
CU300,000 does not flow to ITC as ITC has to remit 85% of this back to ProMarket Ltd. ITC's
inflow is only 15% of this.
ITC should therefore recognise only the 15% commission as revenue. It should not recognise the
total amount received as revenue, and the 85% paid out as an expense.
(3) Deposits
Revenue = CUnil
ITC should not recognise any revenue as it has not yet provided any goods to customers and
therefore has no probability of any economic benefit. The revenue should only be recognised
when the computers are delivered to the customer and the receipt of the final instalment can be
reliably measured.
ITC will have to refund the deposits if the supplier fails to deliver. There is therefore a future
obligation which meets the definition of a liability. Hence the deposits of CU75,000 should be
shown in the balance sheet as 'deferred' under current liabilities.

The provision in respect of faulty goods relates to the supply of faulty electrical transformer units
during 20X0. The provision is based on the level of claims anticipated to succeed, based on legal
advice.
The compensation claim provision is in respect of a claim made by a customer for damages as a
result of a faulty mechanical transformer unit supplied by the company. It represents the present
value of the amount at which the company's legal advisors believe the claim is likely to be settled.
The provision for rectification costs is in respect of the company's operations to extract metal
ore in Didland. Withington Ltd has a five year operating licence issued by the Didland
government and has estimated that the cost of cleaning up the extracted ore hole will be
CU400,000 at the end of those five years. A provision of CU80,000 is to be made each year. In
addition, the cost of removing infrastructure from the site in five years' time will be CU100,000.
The provision for the onerous contract is in respect of a two-year fixed-price contract which
Withington Ltd entered into on 1 July 20X0. Due to unforeseen cost increases and production
problems, a loss on this contract is now anticipated. The provision is based on the amount of this
loss up to the end of the contract, which is less than the compensation which would be payable
in the event of the contract not being fulfilled.
During the year Withington Ltd announced and commenced a restructuring of its Chuckholder
division. Details of the restructuring have been fully communicated to those affected. The cost of
the restructuring, which began on 1 September 20X0, is estimated at CU3.3 million.
(2) Contingent assets
A counter-claim in respect of the compensation claim provided for above has been made against
the supplier of parts for the affected transformer. Legal advice is that this claim is likely to
succeed and should amount to around 40% of the total damages (CU3.6 million).

The proposed treatment of building up a replacement provision does not fall within the BAS 37
definition of a provision, as it is not a legal or constructive obligation at the balance sheet date. No
obligation to replace the lining exists independent of the company's future actions, because the
company could sell the asset before the replacement became necessary.
(2) Onerous contract
A provision for this should be recognised at the lower of the cost of fulfilling the contract and the
compensation payable for not fulfilling it. At 31 December 20X0 the contract has a further 18 months
to run, so the cost of fulfilling it is CU126,000 (18 months 1,000 per month CU7). This is the
amount of the provision to be made, as it is lower than the CU2m cost of not fulfilling the contract.
(3) Restructuring of the Chuckholder division
The Chuckholder division programme of restructuring meets the BAS 37 requirements for recognition
the announcements and implementation before the year end means the company is demonstrably
committed.
However, the only provisions which should be made are those for the direct expenditure necessarily
entailed in the reorganisation and not associated with ongoing activities. Redundancy costs and lease
terminations match this definition, but the other expenditures listed will benefit ongoing operations
and do not qualify for recognition in 20X0.

(a) Relevance and reliability

Information is relevant if it influences the economic decisions of users. Information is reliable if it is
free from error or bias, complete and portrays events in a way that reflects their reality.
The potential for conflict between relevance and reliability arises because economic decisions can only
be made in relation to future events, so forward-looking information is very relevant to users of
financial statements. But much forward-looking information is of very limited reliability, because it
relates to what might happen, but might not.
A classic example of the possible conflict is how to reflect in financial statements a substantial claim for
damages lodged against an entity. Many different estimates can be made of the outcome of such a
claim; which should be recognised in the statements, and when? Relevance argues for early
recognition, reliability for recognition only when it would not present a potentially misleading picture
of the position of the entity.
(b) Evaluation of treatment of development expenditure against relevance and reliability
Under BAS 38 development expenditure should be recognised as an asset, but only where it meets a
number of stringent conditions. These relate to the technical feasibility of the project, how the
probable future economic benefits will be generated and the availability of resources to complete the
development. It must also be possible to measure the development expenditure reliably.
ANSWER BANK
The most reliable information would be provided if the costs are recognised in the income statement
as they are incurred (indeed this is the approach to be taken to research expenditure and to
development expenditure where the recognition criteria are not met).
However, this does not provide relevant information where benefits from the expenditure will flow
into the entity over several accounting periods. However, the reliability of this more relevant
information can be seriously compromised where there are uncertainties surrounding the future
outcome of the project.
Hence, BAS 38 adopts the relevance approach but only where the information backing up that
approach is reliable, i.e. there is sufficient certainty surrounding the viability/profitability of the project.

(a) Notes to the financial statements

Contingent asset
The company is currently involved in litigation with one of its suppliers under product liability for a
claim of CU500,000. Legal costs, currently CU40,000, may also be reimbursed. The legal costs have
been accrued for at the year end and recognised as an expense in the income statement.
Warranties provision
The amount of CU200,000 relates to a new provision against claims made on a warranty offered by
the company on its products. It relates to claims on products sold in the last two months of the year.
It is expected that most of the expenditure will be incurred in the next financial year.

Tutorial note
The fact that the carrying amount of property at the date of sale is based on cost means that a
measurement adjustment under BFRS 5 at the time of the decision to sell would only have been made if fair
value less costs to sell had been below the then carrying amount. With the ultimate selling price so much in
excess of cost, it was unlikely that any such adjustment would have been necessary. This is the reason why
the question did not contain any information about values at the time the decision to sell was made.

In the draft financial statements the excess reorganisation provision of CU400,000 has been correctly
released to the income statement but the original provision set up of CU1.2 million was not charged. Once
the adjustment of CU1.2 million has been actioned (Dr Income statement, Cr Goodwill) the income
statement will have borne the true post-acquisition cost of CU0.8 million.

(1) Operating profit is stated after charging
CU
Impairment of property, plant and equipment 110,000
(2) Events after the balance sheet date

On 1 July 20X1 there was a serious fire at one of the companys processing units. This fire
destroyed plant included in the consolidated balance sheet at a carrying amount of CU1 million.
Only 50% of this amount is expected to be recoverable from the companys insurers and hence a
loss of CU500,000 is anticipated in the current year.
(c) Rationale for treatment

Cost of sales
This should reflect the cost of goods sold outside the group, comprising parent and entities controlled
by the parent, i.e. its subsidiaries.
Applying the single entity concept, the only amounts to be included are those for the period during
which the parent controls the subsidiaries.
Associates are not controlled by the investor (the investor only has significant influence over the
investee), so nothing is included for them in cost of sales and no adjustment is required.
Profit on disposal of Islay Ltd
This should be based on the groups investment in Islay Ltd, not only the parent companys investment.
This is a better reflection of profit/loss on disposal achieved by management, as it is based on original
cost plus post acquisition profits.
Any unimpaired goodwill arising on acquisition should be derecognised, as this part of the cost of
acquiring the investment can no longer be carried as an asset.
Share of profits of associates (Millport Ltd)
The level of investment in Millport Ltd is one of 'significant influence', so mere inclusion of dividend
income would not reflect profit to the group shareholders and the return achieved by management.
Equity accounting has been used: this shows the group share of after-tax profits from the associate
(irrespective of whether or not a dividend is declared) for the post-acquisition period.
As Arran Ltd holds inventory on which Millport Ltd made a profit, its share of the unrealised amount
must be excluded from its share of Millport Ltd's profit for the year.
Tax charge
This should be based on the whole groups individual company charges.
It only includes tax on subsidiaries held up to the date of disposal or from acquisition to balance sheet
date as appropriate as profits earned up to these dates are included.

Purpose
The purpose of group financial statements is to provide comprehensive information to investors on a
company which uses resources to invest in other companies.
Group financial statements give information to users on the abilities of management to produce an
acceptable return on the capital employed.
Specific rules on consolidations contained in BAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
result in only the profits of subsidiaries earned in the post acquisition period being reported in the
consolidated income statement.
Managers are therefore held accountable for their performance after acquisition and not on the profits
'bought in'.
ANSWER BANK
Concepts underlying their preparation

The two key concepts underlying the preparation of group financial statements are
The single entity concept, and
The principle of substance over form.
In order that users are better informed, the group financial statements are presented for the group as
a single economic unit.
Therefore all the resources at the groups disposal and the return on those resources can be seen in
one set of financial statements.
Without this users would be presented with various sets of individual company financial statements
based on the legal form that each company is a separate legal entity.
The preparation of group financial statements under the single entity concept underlines the
application of 'substance over form', which is a fundamental principle in the preparation of financial
statements.
This ignores the fact that the group is not a legal unit.
The 'single entity' concept means that all effects of intra-group trading are eliminated, so that only the
results of trading with entities outside the group are shown; this provides a more meaningful basis for
assessing managements performance.

(b) Innes Ltd as an associate

If Innes Ltd became an associate of Hemmingway Ltd, then the investment would be carried in the
consolidated balance sheet at its equity method valuation which would be
Cost of the investment, plus
Share of post acquisition change in Innes Ltd's net assets.
Hemmingway Ltd's consolidated retained earnings would be increased by Hemmingway Ltd's share of
the post acquisition profits retained by Innes Ltd, less any impairment to the investment.
This equity method of accounting is used where a parent company has significant influence over an
associate.
The individual assets and liabilities are not added to those of the parent company as there is no
control over them.
There is no 'minority interest' as only the parent company's share of the net assets is included in the
consolidated balance sheet, unlike a subsidiary where 100% of the assets and liabilities are included
even though the ownership may be less than 100%.

(b) Group accounts

Purpose
The purpose of group financial statements is to provide comprehensive information to investors on a
company which uses resources to invest in other companies.
Group financial statements give information to users on the abilities of management to produce an
acceptable return on the capital employed.
Specific rules on consolidations contained in BAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
result in only the profits of subsidiaries earned in the post acquisition period being reported in the
consolidated income statement.
Managers are therefore held accountable for their performance after acquisition and not on the profits
'bought in'.
Concepts underlying their preparation
The two key concepts underlying the preparation of group financial statements are
The single entity concept, and
The principle of substance over form.
In order that users are better informed, the group financial statements are presented for the group as
a single economic unit.
Therefore all the resources at the group's disposal and the return on those resources can be seen in
one set of financial statements.
Without this users would be presented with various sets of individual company financial statements
based on the legal form that each company is a separate legal entity.
The preparation of group financial statements under the single entity concept underlines the
application of 'substance over form', which is a fundamental principle in the preparation of financial
statements.
This ignores the fact that the group is not a legal unit.
The 'single entity' concept means that all effects of intra-group trading are eliminated, so that only the
results of trading with entities outside the group are shown; this provides a more meaningful basis for
assessing management's performance.

(b) Associate at shareholding of 15%

Significant influence is presumed to exist if Harris Ltd holds 20% or more of the shares in Auskerry
Ltd, so a 15% holding would not normally give rise to an associated company.
However, Auskerry Ltd would be an associate of Harris Ltd if Harris Ltd exercised significant influence
over Auskerry Ltd. In spite of only a 15% holding, significant influence could exist if Harris Ltd
Has representation on Auskerry Ltd's board of directors
Participates in Auskerry Ltd's policy-making decisions
Has material transactions with Auskerry Ltd
Interchanges managerial personnel with Auskerry Ltd
Provides essential technical information
A majority or substantial ownership of the remaining 85% shares in Auskerry Ltd would not
necessarily preclude Auskerry Ltd from being an associate.

A share of the loss for the year in Buchan Ltd can be allocated to the minority only because overall Buchan
Ltd has net assets. If Buchan Ltd were to have net liabilities overall, the minority could only be allocated
their share of those net liabilities if they were to have a binding obligation to make an additional investment
over the losses, and are able to do so.

(c) The single entity concept

Group financial statements consolidate the results and net assets of group members to present the
financial statements as if the group were a single economic entity.
This represents the economic substance of the group and contrasts with the legal form, where each
company is a separate legal entity.
However, in substance, the shareholders of the parent company are investing in the subsidiaries
through their investment in the parent company, and as such are interested in the financial
performance and position of all members of the group.

The fair value adjustment needs to be depreciated. The uplift is CU500,000 so the depreciation is
CU100,000 per annum. At the start of the year the accumulated depreciation is CU100,000 (500,000
1/5) and it will be CU200,000 (500,000 2/5) at the end of the year.

(c) Underlying principles re disposal
The concept of control is an example of the substance over form concept. The subsidiary is
consolidated whilst it is under the control of the parent.
Therefore 100% of the results of Stratford Ltd are consolidated until the date on which control is
relinquished.
40% of the results for the first six months are acknowledged as belonging to the minority interest
which is consistent with the concept of ownership.
The loss on disposal is based upon the net assets of Stratford Ltd at the date of disposal.
The loss on disposal includes any unimpaired goodwill, since this asset is also disposed of even
though it is not recognised in Stratford Ltd's own balance sheet.

(c) Classification of investment in Abbeydale Ltd
The key issue in defining an associate in BAS 28 Investments in Associates is whether an investor has
significant influence over the investee. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial
and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control over those policies. If the investor
holds 20% or more of the voting power, it is presumed that it does have significant influence.
The third party owning 60% appears to have control and has the power to govern the financial and
operating policies of Abbeydale Ltd. If one party has control and can govern those policies, it is
reasonable to question whether another investor could ever have significant influence.
However, BAS 28 states that this does not necessarily preclude another investor from having
significant influence. The 20% test is not definitive, and the investor should consider other evidence
such as board representation.

(c) Explanation of accounting treatment

(i) Consolidation of Kentish Ltd
As Camden Ltd acquired 72% of Kentish Ltd on 1 March 20X5, it is on this date that
Camden Ltd gains control, and from this date that 100% of Kentish Ltd's costs and revenues
should be taken into the consolidated income statement, as Camden Ltd controls the
whole of Kentish Ltd.
Therefore the consolidated income statement includes seven months of the results of
Kentish Ltd.
28% of Kentish Ltd is later appropriated to the minority interest because this is the
proportion not owned by Camden Ltd.
(ii) Dividends received by Camden Ltd
The dividend income from subsidiaries in Camden Ltd's own income statement should be
ignored on consolidation and 'replaced' with the results of the subsidiaries line-by-line.
This is because under the single entity concept Camden Ltd controls the subsidiaries and
therefore controls the entire results made, not just those distributed as dividends.
As the results should be brought in, the intra-group dividends received should be
eliminated, to avoid double counting.
(iii) Intra-group trading

Any trade between members of the group should be eliminated on consolidation.
This is because under the single entity concept a group cannot sell to/buy from itself;
therefore the sales by Camden Ltd to both subsidiaries must be cancelled by eliminating the
sale in the books of Camden Ltd and the purchases in the books of the subsidiaries.
(iv) Unrealised profits in inventories
Under the single entity concept, no sale of goods has been made until they are sold outside
the group.
Prior to that time, any profit created by intra-group transactions should not be recognised.
Inventories should be valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value to the group in
this case the price paid by Camden Ltd, i.e. CU192,000 (240,000 80%).
By eliminating the unrealised profit, the closing inventories in the income statement (within
cost of sales) are reduced to their cost to the group.

49 Accounting and reporting concepts

1 B Consistency contributes to comparability.
2 C The Framework cites two underlying assumptions that the accounts have been prepared on an
accrual basis (accrual basis of accounting) and that the business is expected to continue in
operation for the foreseeable future (going concern).
3 C The four principal qualitative characteristics are relevance, reliability, comparability and
understandability.
4 D The income statement measures financial performance, the balance sheet measures financial
position and the cash flow statement measures financial adaptability.
5 C An asset is 'a resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events and from which
economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity'. An item might meet the definition of an
asset (3) but can only be recognised if both (1) and (3) are true. Rights to future economic
benefits do not need to be legally enforceable (a lessee does not have legal ownership of a
finance lease but it is still recognised as an asset).
6 C A liability is 'a present obligation of the entity arising from past events, the settlement of which is
expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits'. The
amount of the liability need not be certain (e.g. a provision). The obligation need not be legally
enforceable (it may be a constructive obligation). Settlement of the obligation must involve an
outflow of economic resources, but not necessarily cash.
7 C The qualitative characteristic of relevance is dependent on materiality and predictive and
confirmatory values. Completeness and faithful representation are characteristics of the
qualitative characteristic of reliability not relevance. Comparability is a separate qualitative
characteristic.
8 D The IASB issue IFRS although the IASCF guide their work programme.
9 B Historic cost accounting measures capital in money terms which does not necessarily maintain
either the real financial capital or the operating capacity of the business.
10 B Accrual basis (210,000 50/100) 22,000 = CU83,000
Cash accounting basis ((100,000 + 80,000) 50/100)) 20,000 = CU70,000
11 C Historic cost accounting is based on a system of money financial capital maintenance, hence profit
under that system is CU100,000. A system of real financial capital maintenance adjusts for general
price changes (i.e. the CU100,000 is reduced by an allowance for the 5% general price changes,
giving profit of CU95,000). A system of physical capital maintenance adjusts for specific price

profit of CU90,000).

13 D Users need to be able to compare financial statements through time and across different entities.
Hence the disclosure of corresponding information and accounting policies will assist in this.
Neutrality is relevant to the characteristic of reliability. Materiality is relevant to the
characteristic of relevance.
14 D The substance of the arrangement is that of a loan secured on the building. A portion of the
interest of CU200,000 (CU600,000 - CU400,000) should be charged in each of the four years so
that by the repurchase date the loan account stands at CU600,000.
15 D GAAP stands for 'generally accepted accounting practice'.
16 B The elements of the financial statements are assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses.
Assets, liabilities and equity are directly related to the measurement of financial position. Income
and expenses are directly related to the measurement of profit.
50 BAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

1 D Inappropriate accounting policies cannot be rectified by disclosure of the policies used or by the
inclusion of explanatory material. Companies must prepare their financial statements (except for
the cash flow statement) on the accrual basis.
2 A All of the items listed will be reflected in the statement of changes in equity.
3 D Revenue and finance cost must be disclosed on the face of the income statement whichever
format is used. Depreciation will appear on the face of an income statement where expenses are
classified by nature but would be subsumed within other categories (cost of sales, administrative
expenses, distribution cost) where expenses are classified by function. Closing inventory appears
on the face of the balance sheet but will be subsumed within cost of sales or changes in
inventories in the income statement.
4 B This is the most commonly seen form of the income statement, which includes cost of sales and
distribution costs. The other three items are all used where expenses are classified by nature.

The dividend was not declared until after the year end so does not reduce equity this year.
7 A The inventory is expected to be realised within the normal operating cycle of 18 months
therefore is classified as current. Because Finstock Ltd builds houses, the house is inventory as
opposed to property and hence, since it will be realised within the normal operating cycle, is
classified as current. According to BAS 1, marketable securities are classified as current if they
are expected to be realised within 12 months of the balance sheet date. This is not the case here
so the securities are classified as non-current.
51 BAS 2 Inventories
1 D Only two cost formulas are allowed by BAS 2: FIFO and WAC (Weighted Average Cost)
therefore (1) and (2) are incorrect and (3) is correct. (4) is correct although if inventories do
not have a similar nature different cost formulas may be used.
2 A Carriage outwards on goods delivered to customers will be relevant to the calculation of NRV,
but not cost. BAS 2 specifies that abnormal costs should not be carried forward in inventory.

53 BAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and

Errors
1 C A is not a change of accounting policy (the accounting policy is still to carry property under the
valuation model as opposed to under the cost model), B is a change of accounting estimate, D is
specifically mentioned in IAS 8 as not constituting a change of accounting policy.
2 D Material errors are treated in the same way as changes of accounting policy, by the application of
retrospective restatement.
3 B BAS 8 requires that a change in accounting policy is accounted for by retrospective application.
4 B Only capitalisation of borrowing costs represents a change of accounting policy.
5 B Both changes in accounting policies and the correction of material prior period errors are dealt
with retrospectively. Changes in accounting estimates are dealt with prospectively.
6 C Profit for the year = 45,000 2,000 = CU43,000
Retained earnings brought forward = 350,000 5,000 = CU345,000
Plant at NBV = 250,000 30,000 5,000 2,000 = CU213,000
7 C (1) is a change in accounting estimate. (2) is not a change in accounting policy, but a change in
classification. This is covered by BAS 1 which requires that comparative amounts are also
reclassified and certain disclosures given.
54 BAS 10 Events After the Balance Sheet Date

1 D Adjusting events are reflected in the financial statements, therefore there is no specific
requirement to disclose such events.
2 C CU1,800,000 CU116,000 CU20,000 = CU1,664,000
3 D The fire (D) had not taken place at the balance sheet date. Although notice of the customer
ceasing to trade (A) was not received until 31 March 20X5, the customer would have been in
difficulties at the balance sheet date and hence the debt was irrecoverable at that date. Although
evidence of the inventorys NRV at below cost was not available until April, NRV is assumed to
have fallen by the balance sheet date. The legal action (B) was ongoing at the balance sheet date,
and the courts decision on 27 April showed the amount to be provided.
4 D Only dividends declared before the year end are recognised as liabilities. The claim in respect of
storm damage was in negotiation at the year end so that storm must have occurred by the
balance sheet date hence this is an adjusting event and the uninsured amount of CU75,000
should be recognised as a liability.
5 A In A, the decision to sell was not made until after the year end therefore this is a non-adjusting
event. In B and C, the liquation/bankruptcy would have occurred by the year end; it was just that
Gawain Ltd did not know of it until after the year end. In that it had occurred by the year end
both matters are adjusting. In D, the fire took place before the year end so is an adjusting event.
55 BAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment

1 C 780,000 + 117,000 + 30,000 + 28,000 + 18,000 + 100,000 = CU1,073,000
2 D None of these statements is correct. The purpose of the provision for depreciation is to spread
the cost less residual value of an asset over its useful life ((1) and (3)). When an asset is revalued,
depreciation on the whole (revalued) amount is charged to the income statement. Depreciation
on the surplus may be debited to the revaluation reserve but only as a reserve transfer from
retained earnings (2). A change in depreciation method constitutes a change in accounting
estimate, not policy per BAS 8 (4).

9 B BAS 16 states that where there is an exchange of items of PPE such that there is no cash price,
cost should be measured at fair value. Here, instead of paying cash, Sparrow Ltd has given up an
asset with a fair value of CU1 million, in order to acquire the building previously owned by
Turner Ltd. Hence this building should be recorded in Sparrow Ltds books at that amount.
10 C This is true for initial revaluations upwards. For a subsequent revaluation upwards which
reverses a previous revaluation loss which was recognised in the income statement this will not
necessarily hold true. Re A, whole classes of assets must be carried under either the revaluation
model or the cost model it is not permissible to revalue just those assets where carrying
amounts and market values are materially different. Re B, assets must be revalued with sufficient
regularity such that carrying amounts never differ materially from fair values. Although BAS 16
mentions five years, longer could be justified if fair value movements are small and slow. Re D,
the fair value of land and buildings is based on market values, which will take into account
alternative uses.
56 BAS 17 Leases
1 D Assets held under finance leases are recorded at their fair value (here, the cash price) and
depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the assets useful life. Here, the lease term is
six years (the primary period plus the secondary period, since this is expected to be taken up)
and the useful life is five years.

9 A The underlying concept of the treatment of leases is substance over form. This is a consequence
of the requirement to present transactions faithfully, part of the qualitative characteristic of
reliability.
10 B CU24,000 (the cash price less the deposit) is owed on 1 January 20X7. This is subject to interest
at 12% for 20X7, as no further payment is made until the last day of 20X7. Therefore CU24,000

57 BAS 18 Revenue
1 B Because the risk and rewards of ownership have not yet passed (the goods are unsold at the year
end) revenue should not be recognised. Hence the CU20,000 selling price should be removed
from revenue and trade receivables and the CU15,000 cost added in to closing inventories (and
hence be removed from cost of sales).
Inventories = 110,000 + 15,000 = CU125,000

consideration receivable, i.e. CU290,000.
5 C For the rendering of services, BAS 18 requires that revenue is recognised by reference to the
stage of completion of the contract (provided revenue, stage of completion and costs can be
measured reliably and it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the seller). We are told
that all figures are reliable and that the contract is expected to make a profit hence economic
benefits will flow to the seller. Therefore 40% of the revenue is recognised this year.
6 B Where costs cannot be measured reliably in respect of a contract for the rendering of services
(see answer 5 above) and the outcome of the contract is uncertain, revenue should be restricted
to the extent of the costs which are recoverable.
7 D BAS 18 requires revenue from artistic performances to be recognised when the event takes place
(Appendix para 15). Since the June production was delayed until July only Mays proportion of the
season ticket (1/5 CU100) should be recognised by 30 June 20X6.
58 BAS 32 and BAS 39 Financial Instruments

1 A Redeemable preference shares are classified as liabilities. Dividends on these shares are shown as

2 D Irredeemable preference shares are classified as equity. Dividends on these shares are reflected

59 BAS 36 Impairment of Assets

1 D They are all true. (3) is true because an asset is impaired if its recoverable amount is less than its
carrying amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in
use so if fair value less costs to sell already exceeds the carrying amount there is no need to
estimate value in use.

6 D In addition to intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and goodwill acquired in a business
combination, which must be tested for impairment annually, other assets are only required to be
tested for impairment if there are indications of a possible impairment (such as a fall in market
values or evidence of physical damage).
60 BAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

1 B BAS 37 excludes retraining and relocation of continuing staff from restructuring provisions.
2 A All three criteria must be present.
3 C (1) is not correct if it is probable and the amount can be estimated reliably, then it must be
provided for.
4 C In (1) as the board decision had not been communicated by the year end there is assumed to be
no legal or constructive obligation therefore no provision should be made. In (2) as refunds have
been made in the past to all customers there is a valid expectation from customers that the
refunds will be made therefore the amount should be provided for. In (3) there is no present
obligation to carry out the refurbishment therefore no provision should be made.
5 C Since it is probable (i.e. 'more likely than not') that the claim will be paid out a provision should
be made for the claim against Airedale Ltd. The claim Airedale Ltd has made against a third party
is a contingent asset. Contingent assets are only ever disclosed, and only then if it is probable that
the asset will be recovered, as is the case here.
6 C As refunds have been made in the past there is a valid expectation from customers that the
refunds will be made, creating a constructive (as opposed to a legal) obligation. Therefore Wally
Ltd must provide for customer refunds. Regarding A there is no obligating event (see answer 7)
as the training has not been carried out, therefore no provision should be made. B is a contingent
asset as opposed to a contingent liability or a provision. Regarding D since Wally Ltd is unlikely
to lose the case, disclosure should be made as a contingent liability, as opposed to a provision
being made.
7 D A provision is recognised under BAS 37, inter alia, where the entity has a present obligation as a
result of a past event. At 31 December 20X5 there is no obligating event as neither the refit nor
the fitting of the safety equipment has been carried out therefore no provision is needed for
either.
8 B Since it is probable (i.e. 'more likely than not') that the claim against Charlotte Ltd will succeed a
provision should be made. Counter-claims should be recognised as separate assets but only
where reimbursement is virtually certain. Here reimbursement is only 'probable' so the claim
against George Ltd should be disclosed, but not recognised as an asset.
61 BAS 38 Intangible Assets

1 D (1) False negative goodwill is recognised immediately in profit or loss, not shown on the
balance sheet. (2) False positive goodwill is capitalised and then subject to impairment reviews
there is no alternative treatment. (3) and (4) False and true neither internally generated
goodwill nor internally developed brands can be capitalised.

3 C Regarding A costs are capitalised throughout the development phase then amortised once
development is complete. Regarding B this says that the project will at least break even if it
was to make a loss, the costs could not be carried forward.
4 C C is given as an example of research activities in BAS 38 (para 56 (c)). Research costs are written
off as incurred. A is given as an example of development activities in BAS 38 (para 59 (a)) and
may therefore be carried forward if certain conditions (para 57) are met. B the cost of the
patent, including these legal costs, will be capitalised as a separately acquired intangible. D
recoverable costs will be an asset in their own right (a receivable from the customer).
5 D (1) Whilst there is a choice to measure all intangibles after initial recognition at cost or fair value,
in order for fair value to be used it must be possible to measure fair values reliably with
reference to an active market. This is unlikely to be possible for most (unique) intangibles.
Also for one intangible to be revalued, the whole class of intangibles must be revalued. (2)
Revaluations must be carried out with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount
does not differ from the fair value. This is not necessarily annually.
6 C (1) is given as an example of research activities in BAS 38 (para 56 (b)). Research costs are
written off as incurred. (2) is an acquired intangible and will therefore automatically meet BAS
38s recognition criteria. Although (3) is not a separable intangible it arises from legal rights and is
therefore identifiable and may be recognised provided its cost can be measured reliably (and it
can, at CU50,000). Therefore a total of CU110,000 is recognised (CU60,000 plus CU50,000).
7 A (1) can be capitalised as the BAS 38 para 57 criteria appear to be met. (2) cannot be capitalised as
BAS 38 prohibits the recognition of internally generated brands. Regarding (3) although
goodwill acquired on a business combination is recognised under BFRS 3 Business Combinations as
an intangible asset, per BAS 38 any goodwill recorded in the acquirees books cannot be
recognised. Therefore only CU50,000 (1) is recognised.
8 A For an asset to be recognised as an intangible asset in accordance with BAS 38 it must be
identifiable (1). Identifiable means the asset is either separable or arises from contractual or
other legal rights therefore (2) is not correct. Once an asset had met the identifiability test it is
only recognised if it is probable (not just 'possible' per (4)) that future benefits from the asset
will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset must be able to be measured reliably (3).
9 D Having been initially recognised at cost, the entity then has a choice of the cost model or the
revaluation model for each class of intangibles. A is false intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives are not amortised but reviewed for impairment annually. B is false residual values are
assumed to be zero unless a third party is committed to buying the asset at the end of its useful
life or there is an active market for that type of asset (which would be unusual for an intangible).
C is false intangible assets must meet the basic definition of an asset, which includes the fact
that the asset must be under the control of the entity. Employees skills are not controlled by the
entity as the employees could decide to leave.
62 BFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

1 C A discontinued operation is one that has either been disposed of in the period, or is held for sale.
A held for sale asset is one where the sale has been committed or is expected to be complete
within one year from the date of classification. This division does not qualify as held for sale in
20X4 as it is not expected to be sold until early 20X6. It will therefore not be disclosed as
discontinued until 20X5.
2 B BFRS 5 para 33. Additional disclosures are required by way of note.
3 D BFRS 5 para 33. Although the disclosures described in C are required they may be given on the
face of the cash flow statement, or by way of note.
4 C Since the decision to sell was made by the year end and the sale is expected to be completed
within 12 months the retail division will be classified as a discontinued operation. Until the non-
current assets of the division are finally disposed of, they are shown in the balance sheet,
separately from all other assets, as non-current assets held for sale (usually immediately
underneath the sub-total for current assets). This will be the case at 30 June 20X7. These assets,
which were classified as non-current assets prior to their division being classified as held for sale
are not reclassified as held for sale in any prior periods.
ANSWER BANK
5 D Both meet the definition of a component as they have both been reported separately. The
closure of Division A does not represent the discontinuance of a separate major line of business
as its operations have been moved to another division. Division B does represent this type of
discontinuance as its operations have been outsourced.
6 D Since the sale was completed within one year of classification this is a discontinued operation in
the year ended 31 December 20X7. The original loss of CU100,000 will be increased by a
provision for the redundancy costs in accordance with BAS 37.
7 C Once the division is classified as held for sale any non-current assets are reclassified as non-
current assets held for sale and depreciation on them ceases.

8 B On classification as held for sale an asset held under the cost model is measured at the lower of
its carrying amount and its fair value less costs to sell. On ultimate disposal any difference
between carrying amount and disposal proceeds is treated as a loss or gain under BAS 16.

Fair value less costs to sell (600,000 10,000) (590,000)
Loss on sale (590,000 580,000) 10,000
10 B Assets held under the revaluation model are revalued to fair value immediately prior to
classification as held for sale. Costs to sell are immediately recognised in the income statement as
an impairment loss.
CUm
Immediately before classification as held for sale:
Carrying amount 1.5
Revaluation 1.7
Credit to revaluation reserve 0.2
On classification as held for sale:
Costs to sell recognised in income statement CU20,000
Sale is in the year ended 31 December 20X8 so final profit of CU100,000 (1.8m 1.7m) will be
recognised in the income statement then and the balance in the revaluation reserve in respect of
this asset transferred to retained earnings.

210,000
Depreciation for 20X7 @ 25% (52,500)
Carrying amount immediately before classification as held for sale 157,500
Immediately prior to classification as held for sale the asset will be revalued to its fair value of
CU80,000, and this fall in value of CU77,500 will be debited to the revaluation reserve. The
remaining CU52,500 in the revaluation reserve will be transferred out to retained earnings on
sale. The classification as held for sale at below carrying amount brings forward the debit to the
revaluation reserve.
On classification as held for sale the costs to sell of CU5,000 are recognised in the income
statement.

1 A The provision for unrealised profit is CU5,000 (30,000 20/120). Since the seller was the

repayment of the advance of CU30,000 will appear in the consolidated cash flow statement. The
cash from sale of the plant will be reflected in the associate's own cash flow statement, but not in
the consolidated cash flow statement all that is shown in the consolidated cash flow statement
is dividends received by the parent from associates (100,000 20p 40% = CU8,000).
4 D The net cash effect of the disposal is shown (i.e. CU2 million cash proceeds less the CU20,000
cash and cash equivalents disposed of = CU1,980,000).
5 B The net cash effect of the acquisition is shown. This will usually be the cash consideration less
the cash and cash equivalents acquired. However, in this case, Dougal Ltd has acquired Lucy Ltd's
overdraft so the net cash effect is the cash consideration of CU400,000 plus the overdraft of
CU40,000 = CU440,000.
6 B The cash outflow will be in respect of cash paid for purchases of PPE. In calculating this figure
the PPE acquired under finance leases and the PPE acquired with the subsidiary need to be
excluded. The former because the purchase was not for cash, the latter because any cash effect
will have already been included in the consolidated cash flow statement as part of the figure for
acquisition of subsidiary. The cash from the disposals of CU38,000 will be shown as a cash inflow
the two are not netted off.

1 B Ulysses Ltd is not consolidated. The civil war means that Sarah Ltd is no longer able to exercise
control over Ulysses Ltd; consequently the definition of a subsidiary is not met. Dissimilar
activities are not grounds for exclusion and hence Wally Ltd is consolidated.
2 B Consul Ltd cannot exercise significant influence over Warrior Ltd because it is controlled by
another company and, with a 75% holding, that company can do most things, including passing
special resolutions, without paying much attention to Consul Ltd. Consul Ltd has the largest
shareholding in Admiral Ltd and a board seat, so will be able to exercise significant influence over
Admiral Ltd. Sultan Ltd is not so clear cut. However, it is likely that both the other entity and
Consul Ltd have significant influence over Sultan Ltd.
3 A Per BFRS 3 goodwill acquired in a business combination should be reviewed for impairment
annually.
4 C Statement (1) Untrue there is a presumption that Lyle Ltd would be an associate of Kyle Ltd
at a holding or 20% or over, but this is rebuttable (for example if another party held, say, 70% of
the shares whilst Kyle Ltd only held 30%).
Statement (2) True if Kyle Ltd controls Lyle Ltd then Lyle Ltd will be a subsidiary not an
associate.
Statement (3) True there is no elimination of balances for an associate as the associate is not
part of the group.
