Did you impair to 477 th in Q4 part 1?Don’t remember. But I think i did not get negative goodwill, maybe i am wrong.
For impairment, I really have no idea whether to include disposal value in value in use or not. If yes, then the answer should not be $477. If no need to include, the ans is $477.June 13, 2012 at 12:44 pm #100632AnonymousInactive- Topics: 0

For imp you should take (I think so) higher: value in use or NRV. I used value in use.June 13, 2012 at 12:51 pm #100634@donmanz123 said:
Can anyone please tell me the overall impression of this paper?Won’t say the paper as easy as December 2011. Some surprising elements in Consolidated Questions to adjust pre-acquisition retained earning. And the bloody complex intercompany transaction, with good in transit and cash in transit together. Question 2 The loss in retained earning how to account? The rest are just normal F7 questions.

Value in use is recoverable amount. so if recoverable amount is higher, no impairment has actually occured.June 13, 2012 at 12:53 pm #100636@evek said:

It is deferred consideration which have to be adjusted for time value of money.

Do you know when the answers to the exam questions will be published by ACCA?
June 13, 2012 at 12:57 pm #100638Do anyone know how to deal with the deferred tax element in question 1? I treat it as a pre-acquisition adjust, to lower the pre-retained earning by 1000.

Yes, of course. But the wording in some parts was quite strange, and some things I had already forgotten by the exam time…and time was short ;).evek said 5 minutes ago:

Can I ask if the retained earning become negative after adding this year losses, how should we adjust it? Against share premium? I really stuck in this today, but strange I manage to balance the SOFP by including a negative balance in the retained earning.

Paper was fair although question two was a bit more I could handle in a time pressure:
On questions 4 b (if i am not wrong) in the impairment loss the Goodwill had to be impaired to zero and the Patent to 1m as it could not go below fair value. Also the AR was not to be touched because it was at fair value. Then take out 500k from the plant and the rest of the loss had to be proportioned between the factory and the plant.
Goodwill was positive, the deferred consideration had to be included in the goodwill calculation discounted at present value (the the payable should have been 8000*.88) and a charge to RE of the difference between 8000*.88/1.10 and 8000*.88 (the unwinding of one deferred consideration).
There was a dividend paid in the cash flow problem (you had to look at ending r/e from last year add the profit for the year and subtract this from the ending r/e.
What did you guys do with the finance lease in question two?
June 13, 2012 at 1:11 pm #100645I got negative goodwill , but really have no idea why would be the case!! know for sure it is wrong tho !!
Q4 was a surprise to me, especially part b where you have to allocate the impairment loss..June 13, 2012 at 1:13 pm #100646@ivan99999896 said:

Yeah. I calculate dividend paid for the year is $55m, did you get the same as well?
For goodwill, I also got positive goodwill. How about the deferred tax? how do you adjust it?June 13, 2012 at 1:17 pm #100647@ivan99999896 said:

For finance lease, is it a five year lease? then i minus the deposit from $25000, and starts with $23000 to calculate the NCL and CL part.

Yes I think the dividend paid came to this number. I included the deferred tax as a decrease in the net assets acquired in the goodwill calculation and then as credit to deferred taxes in the Balance sheet. I was not so sure about this one – how did you handle it?

For Question 1, I also credit deferred tax, and deduct it from pre-acquisition earning. (a Pre-adjustment). - AuthorPosts
