myUnisa was created to serve as a digital classroom and study space where you can
engage with your studies, your lecturer and your fellow students. myUnisa makes it
possible for you to use a digital device like a laptop, a tablet or even a smart cellphone
to receive instructions and guidance, to obtain access to sources and resources, to
listen to podcasts or view screencasts and to interact with your lecturers as well as other
students.
The myUnisa platform should be reserved strictly for Unisa academic (teaching and
learning) purposes. Advertising and or any other breach as outlined in the Student
Disciplinary Code may lead to disciplinary action.
In this brief overview, we refer to those functions of myUnisa that you may
encounter and may need on a regular basis. On the left-hand side of your myUnisa

The myUnisa page of certain modules may include a longer list of tools than others. The
activation of tools depends on how the responsible lecturer and other role players
envisaged the flow of information and how they intended you to be exposed to the
learning experience. The supposed absence of a tool on a module page is therefore not
an indication that myUnisa is not working as it should.
The following is a brief overview of the myUnisa tools for this module, how some of
them are related to one another and how they will be useful to you:
Here you will find a welcome message (refer to page 3 of this document) from your

revised Conceptual Framework.
On 13 June 20.16, Mogala Ltd (Mongala) purchased a holographic touch screen patent from
Innovation Ltd (Innovation) at a cost of R250 million. This patent will give Mogala access to all the
patents internationally and locally for the design and manufacture of holographic touch screens. Only
Mogala can utilise the patent to design and manufacture the holographic touch screens. This will
result in Mogala selling the first holographic touch screen smartphones and it will ensure that Mogala
is the only designer and manufacturer of such smartphones.
Mogala will manufacture all the other components of the smartphones and it will assemble the
holographic touch screen smartphones and it is estimated that 90 million holographic touch screen
smartphones will sell within the next financial year at a satisfactory profit margin.
Sea Homes Ltd (Sea Homes) is a new real estate agency that specialise in selling beach front
holiday homes for the upper middle class market. Sea Homes is operating in the South Coast of
Kwazulu-Natal region of South Africa. As part of its expansion strategy, a decision has been taken
by the directors of the company to open a new office in the North Coast of Kwazulu-Natal region.
Sea Homes paid R40 000 to Umhlanga News to advertise holday homes for sale in the newspaper
to appear during January 20.18. This amount was paid on 15 December 20.18.

Mogala puchased the patent and has a right to use the patent (intellectual property) to
design and manufacture holographic touch screens (Conceptual Framework 4.7 (ii)). (1)
The right to design and manufacture holographic touch screens has the potential to produce
ecenomic benefits since the holographic touch screens produced will be sold to generate
revenue which rise an asset (either cash or a trade receivable) which is an economic benefit
(Conceptual Framework 4.16 (d)). (2)
The patent can only be used by Mongale, therefor, it has the ability to direct the use of the
right to manufacture holographic touch screens by using the patent (Conceptual
Framework 4.20). (1)
Mongala will obtain all the revene from the sale of the holographic touch screens
(Conceptual Framework 4.20). (1)
The patent can only be used by Mongala, it has the presents ability to prevent other entities
from directing the use of the patent in the production of touch screens
(Conceptual Framework 4.20). (1)
All revenue from the sale of holostic tough screens will be legally in the name of Mongala,
therefor, Mongala has the present ability to prevent others from obtaining the revenue ftom
the touch scrren sales (Conceptual Framework 4.20). (1)

The land is measured in terms of the cost model of IAS 16. Land cannot be depleted
through use and therefore no depreciation is allowed on land.
The carrying amount of land is assumed to be recovered through sale under the
assumption relevant to revalued land (IAS 12.51B). Therefore the tax base would then be
equal to the base cost for CGT purposes, as this amount will be allowed as a deduction
against the proceeds from the sale when calculating the capital gain on disposal.
The taxable temporary differences on the office buildings of R937 500 (as at
29 February 20.12) and R962 500 (as at 28 February 20.11) do not give rise to deferred
tax as a result of IAS 12.15(b)(ii).
IAS 12.15(b)(ii) states that a taxable temporary difference is exempt from deferred tax if
at the time of the transaction, it affected neither the accounting nor taxable profit.
At the time of the transaction, the accounting profit was not affected by the acquisition of
the office buildings, as office buildings were debited and bank/creditor was credited. The
taxable profit was not affected in the accounting period in which the initial recognition
occurs (no tax allowance is granted by the SARS). As a result, no deferred tax is raised
for the office buildings.

information must be adjusted for:
- the current year ended 31 August 20.11,
- the previous year ended 31 August 20.10, and
- the opening balance for the previous year (1 September 20.9).
The change in the accounting policy will also affect the provision for obsolete
inventory, since the provision of 8% is applied to the inventory balance that will
change as a result of the change in accounting policy.
The change in the provision for obsolete inventory from 8% to 10% is a change in
accounting estimate and must be applied prospectively. A change in estimate will
always be applied from the of the financial year in which the change
occurred (refer p 64 no 2).

Scenario: Bekele holds 1 000 shares in Defar Ltd. Defar Ltd is a company listed on the
JSE Limited. The share price of Defar Ltd according to the JSE was R250 per share on
30 June 20.12. Bekele determined that it is possible to conclude an off-market
transaction of R300 per Defar Ltd share.
An entity determines the fair value measurement with reference to the principal market
for the asset or if no principal market exists, with reference to the most advantageous
market for the asset (IFRS 13.16).
IFRS 13 defines the principal market as the market with the greatest volume and level of
activity for the asset or liability which in this case is the JSE.
Even though the most advantageous market is the off-market transaction for the listed
share of R300 per share; the principal market is the JSE, where the share price is R250
per share.
Conclusion: The fair value of the listed investment in Defar Ltd is R250 000 (1 000 x
R250).
Scenario: At the beginning of the financial year, Bekele issued 1 000 debentures of R200 each,
FDUU\LQJ LQWHUHVW DW SHU DQQXP7KH GHEHQ
Bekele designated this liability, as subsequently measured at fair value through profit or
loss. There is no observable market for liabilities of this nature. At 30 June 20.12, the
instrument is trading as an asset in an active market at R195 per debenture.
Even when there is no observable market to provide pricing information about the
debentures, there is an observable market for such items if they are held by other parties
as assets.
To determine the most advantageous market you need to take into account the exit price less
transaction cost less transport cost, but the fair value you use is only the exit price less
transport cost (refer IFRS 13 IE ±Example 6).

The fair value measurement of non-financial assets requires that one takes into account markets

(IFRS 13.27).
The highest and best use of a non-financial asset takes into account the use of the asset that is
physically possible, legally permissible and financial feasible (IFRS 13.28).
There is an alternative use for the containers other than being used as storage units. The containers
can be disassembled and used as roof sheeting. This alternative use is physically possible as the
cost to disassemble is negligible, it is legally permissible and financially feasible. (2)
Desert has no intention to dispose of the containers in this manner but the highest and best use is
determined from the perspective of market participants (IFRS 13.29). (1)
Thus the R29 500 will be considered as an appropriate fair value. (½)
The two possible fair value amounts per container was the principle market amount of R28 000 and
the highest and best use amount of R29 500. The highest and best use for non-financial assets will

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an between at the measurement date.
IFRS 13 requires that the principal market is used to measure fair value. Should the principal market
not be determinable, the most advantageous market is used.
Fair value is determined based on the unit of account in terms of the relevant standard that the asset
or liability is accounted for. Therefore, control or liquidity premiums or discounts are not taken into
account when determining fair value.

Market approach Prices and other relevant information are used to value the asset. The prices
are obtained from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets
or groups of assets and liabilities.
Income approach Future amounts (for example cash flows and income or expenses) are
converted to a single current discounted amount.
Cost approach Reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service
capacity of an asset (current replacement cost).
Each of the valuation techniques will require the use of inputs in order to determine the fair value.
IFRS 13 requires that the inputs are classified in the following categories. This classification will
affect the disclosure required.
Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.
The valuation method used to determine the fair value should maximize the use of relevant
observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

Alebrew has established itself as the leading distributor of ale beer in South Africa and supplies a
wide range of customers from the hospitality sector. Alebrew was incorporated in South Africa and

Alebrew purchases the ale beer from various breweries across South Africa. After purchase, the ale
beer is stored by Alebrew in bulk tanks at their facilities. The ale beer which is stored and measured
in litres, is then bottled and marketed in 50 litre casks.
Alebrew's current selling price for ale beer amounts to R50 per litre, which includes a 10% deposit
for the returnable ale cask. Thus Alebrew collects a deposit for each cask delivered to the customer
and is required to refund the deposit when the casks are returned by customers. Disruptions in
production of ale beer from breweries during the summer months resulted in Alebrew only selling

On 1 December 20.15 Venus entered into a contract with a customer to transfer five watches
to the customer on 5 January 20.16. The contract requires the customer to pay a consideration
of R350 000 in advance to Venus on 2 December 20.15. The customer paid the consideration
on 2 December 20.15 and the assistant accountant recognised the amount of R350 000 as
revenue in the financial statements of Venus for the year ended 31 December 20.15.
The assistant accountant was not aware that, according to IFRS 15, this revenue will only be
recognised when the entity has satisfied the performance obligation of transferring the ordered
watches to the customer. The customer obtained control of these watches on 5 January 20.16.
Venus made a profit with the sale of a foreign property in the United Kingdom amounting to
R120 000 (after deduction of R30 000 foreign tax). This amount is included in other income
and is not subject to South African tax.
The SARS made an adjustment to the 20.13 assessment after the review of a deductible
expense which Venus claimed during the tax year ending 31 December 20.13. The SARS
issued an additional 20.13 assessment on 15 December 20.15 to include the additional
amount of R15 000 (including interest of R4 500) for the expense which was not allowed as a
deduction by the SARS. Venus decided not to lodge an objection regarding this additional
assessment. The amount payable in terms of the additional assessment was not recorded in
the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 20.15.
Venus provided you with the following calculation of the deferred tax balance as at
31 December 20.14:
Movements 20.14 financial year - unused tax loss (deductible) (240 000) 67 200
You may assume that the deferred tax calculation for the year ended 31 December 20.14 was
calculated correctly and takes all information into account.
The SARS assessment for 20.14 reflects an assessed tax loss of R1 628 360. Venus was of
the opinion that future taxable profits will not be available in 20.15 against which the unused
tax loss can be utilised.
