    Sir, could you check the below statement
    “Paradigm has not recorded any of the purchase consideration, although it does have other 10% loan notes already in issue.”

    Thats what makes me think, they have not accounted interest because they didn’t even recognize the original obligation/liability.

    I totally agree also with your assumption, though mine also i THINK its valid too.

    Am i wright Or i have just overlooked the question

    Mike sorry,
    I have stuck in this question.

    Why they have used $ 700 instead of $ 697,370 Which is the lower amount ??

    Premium paid =200,000
    add
    200,000*((1-(1+0.1)^-3)/.1)=497,370

    Total…..697,370

    But Sir,
    Neither IFRS 5 nor IFRS 9, allow such a treatment.

    This is what i have understood. May i have a problem somewhere

    IFRS 5, we recognize gain only to the extent of any cumulative imparement loss. Through P&L

    IFRS 9-For a financial asset like that we normally done it through profit and loss for any subsequent measurement.

    Sir, again
    Sorry

    How do we present Deferred credit income in SOFP ? Are we going to separate into Non current and current liability ?

    Also, are Non current assets held for sale, remaining in Non current heading in SOFP ??

    Thanks

    Sir, i dont understand the way has been solved in the text book.

    Here we go:
    They take variable costs for each product and compare with purchase price from outside.
    Over purchase price
    A-5
    B= -6 (Purchase price is less than Variable cost)
    C= 21

    Product B is better to buy from the Market, because the purchase price is less than the costs to make.

    For product A and C, we can make in house but keep in mind key factor. So they calculated variable costs per limiting factor
    A- 44/2hr=22 Per hour
    C- 124/7hr=17.7 Per hour

    Based on variable costs per limiting factor, we start with the one with the lowest value which is product C.

    Product C
    1900 Units * 7 = 13,300 Hrs

    So remaining 4700 hrs ( 18000hrs-13300hrs) is for product A which each unit takes 2 Hrs.
    So product A, we can produce only 2350 Units (4700hrs/2hrs).

    The rest units for product A 1350 Units (3700-2350), they decided to buy from the market.
    Therefore, units of
    A-1350 Units Purchased from outside
    -2350 Units-produced in house

    B-1600 Units purchased from outside

    C- 1900 Units produced in House

    Thats is how the text book has solved the question.

    MY PROBLEM IS why they decided to buy from outside 1350 Units of product A instead of make them in house by going extra shift ??

    Relevant cost for extra shift to make in house
    Variable costs 1350units * 44= $ 59,400

    Additional wages
    .3*8*1350= $ 3,240

    Addition fixed – 1800
    Total relevant costs $ 64,440

    Costs to buy from outside
    49*1350= $ 66,150

    $ 64,440 is less than $ 66,150. I dont understand their solution, why has decided to buy instead of make them in house.

    Thanks

    Sir,
    Could you help below questions

    1. Dividends received, interest received and royalties, are they part of revenue item in SOPL or other income ??

    2. Under operating lease, minimum lease payments are they part of revenue or other income ?? In the books of lessor

    3. Under finance lease, in the books of lessor- We start by derecognize the leased asset and then recognize at the lower of PV of min lease payments or Fair value. My question is, what if the amount we recognized is different from the carrying amount of an asset, Where do we account the difference ?? Eg Asset has carrying amount of $ 1.5m and the present value of min lease payments is $ 1.2m Or 1.6m

    4. What is logic behind of recognize at the lower of Fair value and Pv of min lease payments ?

    Hi Mike !
    Today, i have just gone through this forum. I have question on this

    How do we present ? Can we offset the balances for deferred tax asset and liabilities ??

    Deferred tax liability-.3*10,000=3,000
    Deferred tax asset-.3*60,000=1,800

    Non current liability
    Deferred tax liability -1,200

    Do standards allow ?

    Sir,
    I got you BUT could you check it again the statement

    “A debt to equity ratio that is too low usually indicates that the business is not using its cash and profits to obtain business assets. This may discourage investors because it will mean that less profits are distributed to them “

    I think, there is typing error. Instead of saying “the business is not using its cash…” , they should have said ” the business is using its cash….” am i correct ?

    Having Low debt-equity ratio, it means the business is using its shareholder’s funds more to finance the business. And because of this, the business is not in the position to declare dividend as it needs more and more money to finance/expand its operation. Hence, it discourages investors because less profits are distributed to them.
