    There was a tip–effect of acquisition on parent.So, i think, we had to compare Parent without Sub with its past years performance.

    Yes, but how should we recognize right of use and liability in exam question -T0 to T4 or T1-T5 in case of advance payments? in your lecture you you apply T1-T5, right?

    Thank you

    I have revised your notes and watched lectures again.
    I am bit confused now.

    This is a text:
    “A lessee enters into a five-year lease of a building which has a remaining useful life of ten years. Lease payments are $50,000 per annum, payable at the beginning of each year. The lessee incurs initial direct costs of $20,000 and receives lease incentives of $5,000. There is no transfer of the asset at the end of the lease and no purchase option. The interest rate implicit in the lease is not immediately determinable but the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is 5%. At the commencement date the lessee pays the initial $50,000, incurs the direct costs and receives the lease incentives. ”

    In case of rentals paid in advance, they give the following solution:

    Annuity factor is calculated using 4 years, giving 177297 as discounted liability.

    Assets and liabilities will initially be recognized as follows:

    Debit

    Right-of-use asset:
    Initial payment 50,000
    Discounted liability 177,297
    Initial direct costs 20,000
    Incentives received (5,000)
    Total: 242297

    But what I understood from your lectures, we have to take 5 years for annuity factor adding other costs and deducting incentives. This totaled 231473 in my case.
    Is there any information I miss here ? I can’t understand, what amount is correct.

    And could you please be so kind to show allocation of initial recognition amounts to credits and debits, using correct amounts.

    Thank you.

    As far as i understood from Aliahmed’s solutions, we have to take a revalued number of useful life.

    Thank you.

    Dear Chris,
    I looked through the text once more and realized that this 800 represent loan interest paid.So, 2400 is expense amount and 2400-800 =1600 will be added to Liabilty amount.
    My question is, is it right to suppose that if it is written that the amount is paid then its not expense for previous period?Because logically i think if this is Loan interest Debit then it is interest expense.

    This is past exam problem under the name of ENCA.

    A director of Enca, a public listed company, has expressed concerns about the
    accounting treatment of some of the company’s items of property, plant and
    equipment which have increased in value. His main concern is that the statement of
    financial position does not show the true value of assets which have increased in
    value and that this ‘undervaluation’ is compounded by having to charge depreciation
    on these assets, which also reduces reported profit. He argues that this does not
    make economic sense.
    Required:
    Respond to the director’s concerns by summarising the principal requirements of
    IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment in relation to the revaluation of property,
    plant and equipment, including its subsequent treatment. (5 marks)
    (b) The following details relate to two items of property, plant and equipment (A and B)
    owned by Delta which are depreciated on a straight-line basis with no estimated
    residual value:
    Item A Item B
    Estimated useful life at acquisition 8 years 6 years
    $000 $000
    Cost on 1 April 2010 240,000 120,000
    Accumulated depreciation (two years) (60,000) (40,000)
    ––––––– –––––––
    Carrying amount at 31 March 2012 180,000 80,000
    ––––––– –––––––
    Revaluation on 1 April 2012:
    Revalued amount 160,000 112,000
    Revised estimated remaining useful life 5 years 5 years
    Subsequent expenditure capitalised on 1 April 2013 nil 14,400
    At 31 March 2014 item A was still in use, but item B was sold (on that date) for
    $70 million.
    Note: Delta makes an annual transfer from its revaluation surplus to retained
    earnings in respect of excess depreciation.

    @jetavi said:
    Hi,

    So if it is “Convertible Bond”, where there is a choice given to convert the debt to equity.
    This is an example of Compound Instruments. These instruments have the components of both the liability as well as equity.

    Is it clear now?

    I listened to the lecture on Amortised cost, as far as I understood these are examples of 1)Amortised cost 2)Amortised cost FVTOCI and 3)Amortised cost FVTPL
    Chris mentioned, these kinds most unlikely to come in exam paper.

    Thanks for replying,

    Step1 – find temporary difference

    we don’t know TD because we are given profit figures
    so we move to

    Step2 – position

    position is TD * tax rate, but we don’t know TD
    however we can directly calculate deferred tax by
    comparing Profit on accounting base (1000 per year) and taxable
    profit:
    Y1 Y2 Y3
    Profit accounting base 1000 1000 1000
    Taxable profit 1200-240=960 1200-210=990 1200-150=1050
    Tax 960*0,3=288 990*0,3=297 1050*0,3=315

    Tax paid on accounting base 300 300 300
    Tax paid on taxable base 288 297 315
    Deffered tax asset or liability -12 -3 15
    liabilit liability asset

    SPL
    Profit before tax 1000 1000 1000
    Incom tax expense -288 -297 -315
    Deferred tax -12 -3 15
    Profit 700 700 700

    Here I can not understand, why in your example do movements refer to SPL and
    here to SFP ?

    SFP
    Noncurrent liabilities: DT -12 -15 0
    movement -3 movement +15

    Current liabilities : Tax -288 -297 -315

    Thanks for replying,

    I follow the following guide : If the revenue recognised exceeds the cash received, there will be a contract asset. If the contract costs to date exceed the cost of sales recognised, this will be treated as work­in­progress. This can be included within the contract asset. This will be shown as a separate asset within current assets.

    The variants given are:

    Current assets Current liabilities
    A Contract asset/Inventory 6 Contract liability/Provision 6
    B Contract asset/Trade receivables 8 Contract liability 20
    C Contract asset/Inventory 6 Contract liability 20
    D Contract asset/Trade receivables 8 Contract liability/Provision 6

    Correct answer is D

    My calculations:

    Cash received 55
    Cash recognized 63
    Trade receivable 8
    so Asset is 8

    Revenue 63
    COS 77
    COS (provision) 6
    Loss -20
    so Liability is 6

    However, variant A gives also Inventory =6 option and I calculate WIP as following:

    Cost to date 83 (77+6)
    Cost recognized 77
    Inventory 6

    Therefore, I could choose variant A. So, I just would like to understand, is my calculation of WIP wrong ? if it is right then variant A is potentially correct, isn’t it?

    Sorry, I would like to add that I understand that for SFP we have:

    Y1 Y2 Y3
    Tax 288 297 315
    Def.tax 12 3 -15

    Following your instructions i can do following:

    SPL

    Y1 Y2 Y3
    PBT 1000 1000 1000
    Current tax -288 -297 -315
    DT movement 12 -9 18

    As you see my movements dont give smooth 700 profit figures.What is wrong?

    Hi,
    In Kaplan kit they say:

    A division of a company has the following balances in its financial statements:
    Goodwill $700,000
    Plant $950,000
    Property $2,300,000
    Intangibles $800,000
    Other net assets $430,000
    Following a period of losses, the recoverable amount of the division is deemed to be
    $4 million. A recent valuation of the building showed that the building has a market value of
    $2.5 million. The other net assets are at their recoverable amount. The company uses the
    cost model for valuing property, plant and equipment.

    Question:To the nearest thousand, what is the balance on property following the impairment
    review?

    In the answer they explain as following:valuation of 2.5 mln indicates that there is no impairment.Answer is 2.3 mln.

    My question:
    I understand that it must not be lower than Realisable value, but is there any rule that valuation of building gives us reference to property only? What about plant, for ex?
    Thank you.
