    I mean I understand how we get it but not why we deduct it from the 35k to get the net cash flow. Why is it a tax saving? Isnt it the amount we will pay for taxes at the end of each year?

    As per question sorry:
    Penketh Subsidiary
    Investment income (note (iii)) 5,000 1,600

    Note iii: On 1 October 2013, Penketh also acquired 30% of Ventor’s equity shares. Ventor’s profit after tax for the year ended 31 March 2014 was $10 million and during March 2014 Ventor paid a dividend of $6 million. Penketh uses equity accounting in its consolidated financial statements for its investment in Ventor.

    Answer:

    Investment income: Other ((5,000 – 1,800 dividend from associate) + (1,600 x 6/12)) 4,000

    Hi John,

    Is there the lecture where you explain this question? Because I’m reviewing the past papers and now I’m on June 2012 and I have a question regarding Lock co and Sauce Co , I would like to see how is the approach towards them.

    Thanx for the reply!

    Oh sorry for that! We were supposed to calculate the contribution per project. By mistake I included the answer there which is The contribution earned from each type-A project provided is £580. From each type-B project it is £620. However I don’t understand why the admin expenses are not consider into the contribution.Thank you for the clarification!

    Yeah that’s right I forgot that in case there is a loss recognized in the period it should be stated in the current period, instead of considering the % of the cost!!

    The figures I got are as follows:

    revenue recognized 500 cost recognized (550)= loss recognized (50)
    cost to date 550 attributable profit (50)= 500
    amounts invoiced (475)
    Amounts due from costumers 25

    Hi Mike,

    I did it but apparently I didn’t pay attention to the details, so sorry for those silly questions. However I will pay double attention to the details otherwise I will not be successful in the test! Thanks for your time!

    Cheers!

    well it says that the transferred was on 1st October 2010 and that at this date there were two and a half years of remaining life for the plant. The financial statements need to be prepared for 31.03.2011. That’s why I got the confusion, thanks for the clarification.

    Hi Mike,

    I have re-read the question a couple of times but I still can’t get the answer from the opening & closing inventories (even with algebra). I’m getting a bit frustrated.

    On the other hand as well from the mini exercises of cost sales on the question number 15 I don’t get why we calculate the pup from the figure of 11,600 (I understand is coming from 16-4,4) though it is not stated in the question that “s”sold any of these items so shouldn’t the PUP be calculated from the 16k?
    Thank you once again for your help!

    Cheers!

    Miguel

    Yes than you! Although I have one general question about development expenditure, in general basis amortization of the development expenditure should commence at the begging of the accounting period following capitalization? In case it is not are we going to receive this info in the exam? Thank you once again for your help.

    Best regards,

    Miguel
