    Question 4 : my working were good, although i forgot to divide new earnings by increased number of shares, that was my only mistake

    new earnings?? weren’t the proceeds of rights issue used to redeem the loan, therefore earnings remained the same, only the number of shares increased??

    What value did tou use for the sales price in the nov calculation?

    I think the EV was 29, then it had to be inflated by 4% each year.

    I think the rest are correct except the interest paid (1800) is actually not yet deduct on retained earning else it won’t appear in trial balance.

    oh, silly mistakes. Thanks for pointing them out. So we add back 1000 issue cost, and subtract 1800 interest. The SOFP balances.

    There were just two mistakes, I hope the markers give me atleast 12 marks for this question. πŸ™‚

    Question 2 solution
    https://opentuition.com/topic/question-2-f7-exam-solution-attempt/


    @Marios

    1800 should be first added back to Retained earnings and then deduct the 2610. Or just deduct further 810.

    I think you’re right about that.

    Deferred Tax
    Balance 2500
    Add: RR Tax 2400
    Add: 10000*20% 2000
    Total 6900 (BS)

    Tax Charge
    Provision 2400 (BS)
    (Over) Provision (1100)
    From Def.Tax 2000
    To P&L 3300

    Why did u add back 2500 in deffered tax calculation? wasn’t it an OVER provisions for previous year, so are u not supposed to deduct it?

    I hope both of you’re right. In the exam I also chose C, so I hope this turns out to be correct. My friends were whining about how tricky the MCQS were and I didn’t agree, now I realize how wrong I was.

    18 Which of the following is NOT an indicator of impairment under IAS 36 Impairment of Assets?

    A Advances in the technological environment in which an asset is employed have an adverse impact on its future use
    B An increase in interest rates which increases the discount rate an entity uses
    C The carrying amount of an entity’s net assets is lower than the entity’s number of shares in issue multiplied by its share price
    D The estimated net realisable value of inventory has been reduced due to fire damage although this value is greater than its carrying amount

    Those who were saying that the answer for Q18 is D, were right n were wrong as well. Their reasoning was that NRV is greater than CV so its not impaired. Their reasoning is wrong but their answer correct.

    IAS 36 does not deal with inventory, IAS 2 does. That is why option D is correct.

    I left it for the end. But I did attempt it though because there are easy marks in every question, so no question should be left unattempted. Would be happy with 5-6 marks from Q1. πŸ™‚

    In addition, this was my first ACCA exam and I like the way you are sharing your experience and results. It is very useful πŸ™‚

    Thanks all πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

    You know what, maybe I’ll do question 2/3 and share them here. Don’t even want to see Q1 again.

    Hopefully we get more than 50% but question 1 killed me. Doesn’t make sense even after the exam lol

    IA, oh yes, Q1 also had me in trouble. I wish the question was just to calculate the same ratios for another company, it would have been great πŸ™‚ But I think we will still get marks for valid points made in discussion even if our ratios were calculated wrong. I think I should have redrafted the P/L, it would have become easier then. But I tweaked only those things that had to be used in the ratios, which resulted in many mistakes.

    So HCA is agreed but how do you get the other number? 384?

    SP 600000
    RV 60000 = (600000×0.10)
    Dep. 600000-60000/5 = 108000 x 2 = 216000

    600000 – 216000 = 384000

    I didn’t choose D as receivables are already an asset.

    A is def wrong.

    So my process of elimination was B or C

    c could be wrong because it’s deferred liability. (Never understood why) but it offsets expenses

    Option D, how I understand it now is, the examiner is asking us, the receivables were sold to a finance company, but the finance company has full recourse, so should they be (still) recognized as an Asset.

    Yes, as the finance company has full recourse they should still be recognized as an Asset, common adjustment in Final accounts question. But well I maybe wrong on this one. I remember choosing one from B or C. A was definitely wrong.

    Fair point.

    I read current price as fair value. Current price would dictate replacement cost.

    Exactly, I don’t remember my answer though, so not counting marks from this mcq, prudence concept :). But I hope i got it right, I thought abt it a lot in the exam πŸ™‚

    It’s definitely a. On the balance sheet date, it was revalued hence no depreciation would be charged.

    It’s not about revaluation. That’s the current price of the NEW plant that we have with us. A new and a 2 yr old plant cannot be of same value.

    Q7 is D as the finance company has full recourse this receivable should not be written off and must be shown as an Asset in B/S, and the sale proceed as deferred income. I chose B or C though πŸ™

    Any other answers that you didn’t agree with

    Yes, I don’t really remember my option for MCQ 3, chose A or B maybe. But I think B is the right option. Accumulated depriciaton would have to be deducted from the plant. A new plant and a two year old plant both cannot cost 600,000
