On 1 April 2009 Picant acquired 75% of Sander’s equity shares in a share exchange of
three shares in Picant for every two shares in Sander. The market prices of Picant’s and
Sander’s shares at the date of acquisition were $3·20 and $4·50 respectively.

In addition to this Picant agreed to pay a further amount on 1 April 2010 that was
contingent upon the post-acquisition performance of Sander. At the date of acquisition
Picant assessed the fair value of this contingent consideration at $4·2 million, but by 31
March 2010 it was clear that the actual amount to be paid would be only $2·7 million
(ignore discounting). Picant has recorded the share exchange and provided for the initial
estimate of $4·2 million for the contingent consideration.

On 1 October 2009 Picant also acquired 40% of the equity shares of Adler paying $4 in
cash per acquired share and issuing at par one $100 7% loan note for every 50 shares
acquired in Adler. This consideration has also been recorded by Picant.

Picant has no other investments. The summarised statements of financial position of the
three companies at 31 March 2010 are:

(i) At the date of acquisition the fair values of Sander’s property, plant and equipment was
equal to its carrying amount with the exception of Sander’s factory which had a fair
value of $2 million above its carrying amount. Sander has not adjusted the carrying
amount of the factory as a result of the fair value exercise. This requires additional
annual depreciation of $100,000 in the consolidated financial statements in the post-
acquisition period.

(ii)Also at the date of acquisition, Sander had an intangible asset of $500,000 for software
in its statement of financial position. Picant’s directors believed the software to have no
recoverable value at the date of acquisition and Sander wrote it off shortly after its
acquisition.

(iii)At 31 March 2010 Picant’s current account with Sander was $3·4 million (debit). This
did not agree with the equivalent balance in Sander’s books due to some goods-in-
transit invoiced at $1·8 million that were sent by Picant on 28 March 2010, but had not
been received by Sander until after the year end. Picant sold all these goods at cost
plus 50%.

(iv)Picant’s policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of
acquisition. For this purpose Sander’s share price at that date can be deemed to be
representative of the fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest.

(v)Impairment tests were carried out on 31 March 2010 which concluded that the value of
the investment in Adler was not impaired but, due to poor trading performance,
consolidated goodwill was impaired by $3·8 million.

(vi)Assume all profits accrue evenly through the year.

F7 Workbook Q & A www.mapitaccountancy.com

Illustration 1
I. A change in the IFRS relating to leases means that an entity that used to recognise a
lease on an item of plant as an operating lease must now recognise it as a finance
lease.

II. Depreciation has previously been charged by the entity at 25% straight line but has
decided to change this to 30% reducing balance.

III. The entity had previously charged certain overheads within administration expenses
but now has decided to show them within cost of sales.

IV. The method used by the entity to measure the value of it’s inventory has been
changed.

For each of the above is it a change in accounting policy or a change in accounting


estimate?

Solution

The recognition and presentation of the lease has changed meaning this is a change in
accounting policy.

There is no change in recognition, measurement or the basis of measurement so this is


a change in an accounting estimate.

The presentation of the overheads has changed so this is a change in policy.

The measurement basis of inventory has changed so this is a change in accounting


policy.

F7 Workbook Q & A www.mapitaccountancy.com

Illustration 1
ABC Co. has carried out the annual servicing of it’s plant and equipment at a cost of $2m
and has also decided that one of the machines should have it’s computer hard drive
replaced to increase production by 10% per year at a cost of $50,000.

Is this expenditure revenue expenditure or should it be capitalised?

Solution

The servicing cost of $2m should be expensed in the year as it does not increase the
economic benefit derived from the plant.

The cost of the computer hard drive should be capitalised as it enhances the future
economic benefit of the asset.

Riley acquired a non-current asset on 1 October 2009 at a cost of $100,000 which had a
useful economic life of ten years and a nil residual value. The asset had been correctly
depreciated up to 30 September 2014. At that date the asset was damaged and an
impairment review was performed. On 30 September 2014, the fair value of the asset less
costs to sell was $30,000 and the expected future cash flows were $8,500 per annum for
the next five years. The current cost of capital is 10% and a five year annuity of $1 per
annum at 10% would have a present value of $3·79

Illustration 4

Davos is building an office block and issued a $10 million unsecured loan with a coupon
(nominal) interest rate of 6% on 1 April 20X9. The loan is redeemable at a premium which
means the loan has an effective finance cost of 7·5% per annum.

The loan was specifically issued to finance the building of the new block which meets the
definition of a qualifying asset in IAS 23. Construction of the block commenced on 1 May
20X9 and it was completed and ready for use on 28 February 2010, but did not open for
trading until 1 April 20X0.

During the year trading at Davos’ was below expectations so they suspended the
construction of the new block for a two-month period during July and August 20X9. The
proceeds of the loan were temporarily invested for the month of May 20X9 and earned
interest of $40,000.

Calculate the borrowing costs that can be capitalised under IAS 23

Solution
The effective interest rate is 7.5% which should be used to capitalise the interest as this is
a qualifying asset.

The interest cost for the year to 31/03/20X0 would therefore be ($10m x 7.5%) =
$750,000.

However the building only began on 1/05/20X9 and was completed on 28/02/20X0 so one
month at the start and one month at the end can’t be capitalised.

In addition there were 2 months during which construction was suspended.


8 months interest ($750,000 x 8/12) = $500,000 less the temporary investment income of
$40,000 should be caplitalised.

Total = $460,000


The rest of the cost should be written off to the Income statement.

the economic downturn will change in the future and therefore has not reduced the price of
the asset.

Can Archie Co. classify the property as available for sale under IFRS 5?

Solution
Although Archie has a plan to sell, it is available immediately and they are trying to locate a
buyer it would appear that they are not marketing the property at a reasonable price.

They have not reduced the price even though there has been a downturn that has
presumably reduced prices in general so cannot classify the property under IFRS 5.

Illustration 2
A company has a machine that cost $300,000 to buy two years ago. At the time of
purchase the machine had a useful economic life of 30 years and they apply the cost
model under IAS 16 (Cost less depreciation).

The company has decided to sell the machine and it’s fair value at this time is $220,000
with additional costs to sell being estimated at $5,000.

Although the machine has not been sold at the year end as the decision was taken that
day the company is confident that it will be sold quickly and is committed to selling it
having begun to market the machine to potential purchasers.

How should the machine be treated at the year end in the financial statements and
at what value will it be included?

(a)
Cost $300,000

Depreciation Year 1 (300,000 / 30) $10,000

Depreciation Year 2 (300,000 / 30) $10,000

Carrying Value of Machine $280,000

Fair Value $220,000

Cost to Sell $5,000

Fair Value less Cost to Sell $215,000

Impairment (280,000 - 215,000) $65,000

The impairment will reduce the carrying value of the machine to $215,000 and the charge will be written
off to the income statement.
The machine will no longer be depreciated.

Fresco sells an IT system to Dining on the first day of a new accounting period.

The package includes hardware delivered immediately and a contract for support over the
next 3 years with that support worth $50,000 p/a.

The total cost of the contract is paid up front and is $300,000.

How much should Fresco recognise as revenue from the transaction in the current year?

Solution
Step 1 - Identify the Contract

Fresco has agreed to supply Dining with goods and services.

Step 2 - Identify the performance obligations

Fresco has promised to do two things:

- Supply the hardware


- Supply the support

Step 3 - Determine the transaction price

The total price is $300,000

Step 4 - Allocate price to obligations

Based on the individual prices the support is worth (50,000 x 3) $150,000 leaving the rest
of the $300,000 to be for the hardware (300,000 - 150,000) = $150,000.

Step 5 - Recognise the revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied

The supply of the hardware happens immediately so the revenue for it should be
recognised now.

The support is provided over time so should be recognised on that basis i.e. $50,000 per
year over the 3 years.

Jumbo has agreed to sell a piece of complex machinery with two years free servicing to
Jet for $441,000. The machine usually sells for $420,000.

The servicing will cost Jumbo $50,000 to provide and they generally include a mark-up of
40% when setting the price to charge customers for servicing.

The two year servicing contract is not available as a stand-alone product.

How should the transaction price be allocated to the machine and servicing?

Solution
We can see that the machine generally sells for $420,000 but there is no comparable price
for the servicing contract.

Based on the cost + mark-up the servicing would be worth (50,000 x 140%) $70,000.

Therefore the total value of the performance obligations is (420,000 + 70,000) $490,000.

The fact that Jumbo is selling these for $441,000 would imply that a 10% discount has
been applied.

This should be allocated proportionally to the machine and servicing so the amounts
recognised should be:

Goods (420,000 x 90%) $378,000


Services (70,000 x 90%) $63,000 (Recognised over 2 years)

Total (378,000 + 63,000) $441,000

Jumbo has agreed to sell a piece of complex machinery with two years free servicing to
Jet for $700,000. The machine usually sells for $600,000 although a 5% discount is often
applied to machines of this specification.

The servicing will cost Jumbo $100,000 to provide and they generally include a mark-up of
30% when setting the price to charge customers for servicing.

The two year servicing contract is not available as a stand-alone product but Jumbo has a
policy of not offering discounts on servicing contracts.

How should the transaction price be allocated to the machine and servicing?

Solution
We can see that the machine generally sells for $600,000 but there is no comparable price
for the servicing contract.

Based on the cost + mark-up the servicing would be worth (100,000 x 130%) $130,000.

Therefore the total value of the performance obligations is (600,000 + 130,000) $730,000.

The fact that Jumbo is selling these for $700,000 would imply that a $30,000 discount has
been applied.

However rather than be allocated proportionally to the machine and servicing the discount
should be applied to the machine only because:

- The discount amounts to 5% of the $600,000 for the machine which is the standard
discount for this item given generally.
- There is not generally a discount on servicing.

…so the amounts recognised should be:

Goods (600,000 x 95%) $570,000


Services (130,000 x 100%) $130,000 (Recognised over 2 years)

Total (570,000 + 130,000) $700,000

Placo obtained a contract to sell Davo $3m worth of services over a 3 year period. Specific
costs that would not have been incurred otherwise amounted to $120,000.

How should the revenue and costs be recognised?

Solution
The revenue should be recognised in line with the contract terms over 3 years so ($3m / 3)
$1m per year.

The costs should be capitalised as they are specific to the contract so…

DR Asset (Costs) $120,000


CR Cash $120,000

…then recognised in line with the revenue over 3 years

DR Profit/Loss (120,000 / 3) $40,000

Badger Co. manufactures smart phones and sells them through a contractual relationship
with Bodger Co. Badger provides Bodger with the phones for a price of $150 payable once
the phone is sold on to a customer.

Bodger has also agreed to a clause in the contract of sale that they cannot sell the phone
for less than $200.

How should the goods and revenue be treated in the financial statements of Badger and
Bodger?

Solution
When the goods are provided to Bodger initially they still remain the property of Badger as
they have retained control of them by stipulating the price at which they should be soldr

They will stay as part of Badger’s inventory and no revenue recognised until it is sold to an
end customer.

Once the goods are sold to the customer for $200 Bodger should only recognise the
commission they have received on selling the goods i.e. $50.

The other $150 is paid to Badger and should be recognised as their revenue on the sale.

Gerry has just completed a contract to supply Roses with 200 pineapple trees over the
next 2 years for a set price of $40,000.

As part of the contract Gerry agreed to pay $2,000 to increase the height of the doors at
Roses in order to get the trees into the store.

How much revenue should be recognised in year 1 of the contract?

Solution
The consideration paid to Roses should be treated as a reduction in the transaction price.

The price therefore will be reduced to (40,000 - 2,000) $38,000.

This will be recognised over the term of the contract so in year 1 ($38,000 / 2) $19,000 will
be recognised.

Avon has sold goods to 1000 customers at a price of $400 each. The goods are delivered
and control passed to the customer immediately and they are paid for up front. Each good
is currently in inventory at a value of $200.

The customers have the option to return the goods to Avon if they are not sold in the next
60 days for a full refund at which stage Avon will be able to sell them on at a profit.

Based on prior experience Avon estimates that 95% of the goods will not be returned.

Based on the amount of expected revenue Avon should recognise ((1000 x $400) x 95%)
$380,000.

A refund liability for the rest ((1000 x $400) x 5%) $20,000 should be created.

The entries for this will be:

F7 Workbook Q & A www.mapitaccountancy.com

Illustration 1

ABC Co. has the following items in inventory:

i) Goods purchased for resale at a cost of $40,000. The recent downturn in the economy
has meant that these goods will now sell for $42,000 with costs to sell of $2,500.

ii)Materials purchased at a cost of $30,000 per tonne which will be sold at a profit. The
manufacturer of the materials has just announced that from now on they will sell these
materials to you at a lower price of $28,000 per tonne.

iii)Plant constructed for a specific customer at a cost of $50,000 and an agreed price to the
customer of $60,000. New health and safety requirements mean that the plant will need
to be modified at a cost to ABC Co. of $4,000 before it can be delivered to the customer.

At what value should each of the above be included in the inventory of ABC Co.

Solution

Goods at $40,000

Cost 40,000

Net Realisable Value ($42,000 - 2,500) 39,500

Use Lower so value at... 39,500

The value of inventory will be reduced by $500 and this will be written off to the income
statement.

Materials at $30,000 per tonne

The fact that the manufacturer has changed the cost price is irrelevant.

The goods will be sold at a profit and thus will be valued at $30,000 per tonne cost.

Plant at $50,000

Cost 50,000

Net Realisable Value ($60,000 - 4,000) 56,000

Use Lower so value at... 50,000

The value of the inventory will remain at $50,000.

F7 Workbook Q & A www.mapitaccountancy.com

Illustration 1
ABC Co. does not offer warranties with the radio’s it sells to customers, however if a
customer is dissatisfied with the product for any reason they provide a refund with ‘no
questions asked’. This policy is generally known by customers to be the case.

Should any provision for refunds be made at the year end?

Solution

There is no legal obligation to refund customers.

However:

This looks like a constructive obligation as the customers know of the policy creating a
valid expectation.

We could estimate the returns based on past experience.

There will probably be some refunds made.

Therefore a provision should be created.

A company has entered into a contract to pay for specialist engineering support over the
next 3 years for annual payments with a present value of £100,000. Unfortunately due to a
change in the trading environment the support is no longer needed but the contract
cannot be changed. The directors feel they may be able to sell the contract to another
business for $50,000 but are unsure whether this is possible.

How should this be treated in the financial statements?

Solution

The onerous contract means that a provision should be recognised for the $100,000.

It would need to be assessed if the $50,000 was probable or virtually certain.

If virtually certain create an asset.

If only possible then disclose a contingent asset.

If neither then no action is required for the $50,000.

meeting where the directors decided that a detailed plan for the re-structuring would be
created as soon as possible. Employees affected by the re-structuring were sent notice on
the 31st May 2010.

Should a provision for re-structuring be created in the financial statements at the


year ended 31 April 2010?

Solution

There is no detailed plan available at 30th April 2010.

Employees were not informed until 31st May 2010.

No constructive obligation therefore exists and no provision should be made.

TY has recently completed a contract replacing a roof on the local school. Despite this, the
roof has been leaking and some sections are now unsafe. The school is suing TY for
$20,000 to repair the roof. 


TY used a sub-contractor to install the roof and regards the sub-contractor’s work as faulty.

TY has raised a court action against the sub-contractor claiming the cost of the school’s
action plus legal fees, a total of $22,000. 


TY has been informed by legal advisers that it will probably lose the case brought against
it by the school and will probably win the case against the sub-contractor. 


How should these items be treated in TY’s financial statements? 


A. A provision should be made for the $20,000 liability and the case against the sub-

The Gross Margin is 33.33% in X1 and holds reasonably steady in X2 at 31.42%. However in X3 the
Gross Margin falls to 23.89% indicating that the business has either had to cut prices to sell the greater
volume it has, or the cost of it’s purchases have gone up.

The Net Margin is 9.3% in X1 but begins to fall in X2 with 7.4% achieved, before falling dramatically to
0.7% in X3. The main reason for this is the fall in Gross Profit as other costs have risen in line with
expectations given the increase in sales. However another point to note is that interest costs have risen
with the increase in long term loans. The extra interest costs have put pressure on the business.

The Operating Margin dropped slightly in X2 to 14.28% from 16.66% the previous year - a fall of almost
15%. In X3 the Operating Margin fell away to 7.1%, a decrease of over 50%. This is due to the decreasing
Gross Margin achieved as well as rises in the other expenses.

this level although at first glance it does not seem excessive.

In year X2 gearing increases slightly to 16.66%, an increase of 11% from year X1. This is due to debt
levels increasing to 200 from 150, although this is offset by the increase in the share price from $3.30 to
$4.

In year X3 gearing increases dramatically to 45%, an increase of over 180%. This is due to debt levels
rising to 300 from 200 and the share price dropping to $2.20 due to the deteriorating results of the

Interest Cover (PBIT / Interest) (500 / 100) = 5 (500 / 150) = 3.33 (300 / 220) = 1.36
times times times

Interest coverage in year X1 is 5 times. Without industry averages or prior year data we are unable to
assess this level although at first glance it does not seem unreasonable.

In year X2 interest coverage falls to 3.33 times. This has occurred due to the interest charge increasing in
the period while PBIT has remained constant.

In year X3 interest coverage has decreased again to 1.36 times. This is caused by the PBIT achieved
decreasing to 300 combined with the increase in the interest charge to 220. The increase in interest is
caused by the increase in the long term debt of the company as shown by the gearing ratios calculated
above.

Dividend coverage in year X1 is 2.8 times. Without industry averages or prior year data we are unable to
assess this level although at first glance it does not seem unreasonable.

In year X2 dividend coverage falls to 2.36 times. This would not concern investors as although coverage
has gone down slightly, the dividend paid this year is greater than last.

In year X3 dividend coverage has decreased to 1 time. This is caused by the decrease in profit achieved
by the company restricting the level of dividend payable. This will be of concern to investors and their
concern is reflected in the fall in the share price from $4 in year X2 to $2.20 in year X3.

Share Price)

The Dividend Yield is 10% in year X1. Whilst we do not have comparatives, this seems a reasonable
return.

In year X2 the Dividend Yield falls to 9%. This will not be overly concerning to investors as the increase in
share price over the year will have more than made up for the slightly lower yield.

In year X3 the Dividend Yield has fallen to 4.5% which is 50% lower than the previous year. This,
combined with the fall in share price and reduced profitability will be a major concern to investors.

The P/E Ratio in year X1 is 3.54. We do not have industry comparatives or prior year information with
which to compare this.

In year X2 the P/E Ratio increases to 4.65. This indicates that the market expectations for this share have
risen since X1 and that investors are now willing to pay 4.65 times what the business earns in a year to
own the share.

In year X4 the P/E ratio has increased dramatically to 22. This is unusual as the earnings have decreased
to 12% of the previous year. The share price has fallen to reflect this, but not by as much as would be
expected. This may indicate that the market feels that the results in year X3 were perhaps a one-off and
that next years results will improve.

Intangible Assets 500 400

Other information:

I. The entity disposed of a piece of plant during the year with a carrying value of $300
for a profit of $50.

2011?

Solution

Property Plant & Equipment

This difference needs to increase the amount of PPE from 800 to 2000 to balance the
account so must be additions - A CASH FLOW

We have also sold some PPE & so received cash.


The amount received will be the carrying value plus (300 + 50) 350
the profit made.
