    Dear Tutor,

    Thank you so much for giving a brief explanation, but if the question had asked what revised receivables days and trade receivables would be how we will calculate that, like the 4.5*30/360*0.35 is the direct calculation of the difference between the new and the old receivables but If I wanted to take the difference by subtracting the new and the old receivables how will we calculate the new receivables

    If we were to calculate the revised receivables will the amount be 4.5*52.5/360=656250.will this be the revised receivables ,as you said the new receivable days are correct 52.5 days as weighted average 0.25*30+0.75*60 = 52.5 days,

    but even though
    the receivables I am getting is 4500000*52.5/360=656250
    now if i subtract the 750000 (750000-656250) the amount is 93750 which is not same as the amount in question that is 131250

    250

    ans
    B
    Temporary investment income earned during the construction period should be netted off
    the amount capitalised. However, the interest was earned prior to the period of
    construction. Therefore the investment income earned should be taken to the statement of
    profit or loss as investment income

    I have a doubt as construction started on 1 may which is after 1 April 2017 so the interest is earned after the period of construction.
    Can you please explain how they have calculated and the reason for B being the answer?
    you help and feedback will be appreciated.

    ANS FOR 15
    $1,000,000
    The fair value gain of $1 million ($9m – $8m) should be taken to the statement of profit or
    loss. Costs to sell are ignored and, since Croft uses the fair value model, no depreciation will
    be charged on the building

    THE previous question is Q 13
    Q 15Croft acquired a building with a 40?year life for its investment potential for $8 million on
    1 January 20X3. At 31 December 20X3, the fair value of the property was estimated at
    $9 million with costs to sell estimated at $200,000.
    If Croft Co uses the fair value model for investment properties, what gain should be
    recorded in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 20X3?

    Six months’ depreciation should be accounted for up to 30 June 20X5, which is $100,000
    expense ($10 million/50 years × 6
    /12).
    When the asset is transferred to investment property it should be revalued to the fair value
    of $11 million. At the date that the asset’s use is changed, this gain should be recorded in
    other comprehensive income and in a revaluation surplus, not in the statement of profit or
    loss.
    From this date, the fair value model is used. No depreciation is accounted for, but the asset
    will be revalued to fair value with gains or losses going through the statement of profit or
    loss. Asthere is a gain of $500,000 from June 20X5 to December 20X5, this would be included
    in the statement of profit or loss.
    Therefore the total net income will be $400,000, being the $500,000 fair value gain less the
    depreciation expense of $100,000 for the first 6 months of the year.

    Hello Sir ,
    Sir ans is 10000 as budgeted profit fot the company and 10000 is considered as the the specific fixed costs of branch z
    But sir from the total fixed overheads of 100000 40 % is fixed which is 40000 and then the fixed costs are apportioned on sales value method so that would be total sales 600k and proportion for every branch is 200k that would be 2/6 so specific foxed costs of branch z should be 100k *2/6 = 13333.3 $
    Can please explain me the right approach ur help will be appreciated

    The unskilled workers are guaranteed work for $420/$12 = 35 hours.
    They are currently working $372/$12 = 31 hours. Therefore there are 4 hours per week
    per worker spare capacity. There are 5 workers therefore 20 hours a week will have
    no cost, leaving 36 hours to be paid for at time and a half.
    36 × $12 × 1.5 = $648

    A
    The options are:
    Agency 600 × $9/hr = $5,400
    Internal transfer 600 × (7 + 3) = $6,000
    Hire new $1,200 + (600 × $6/hr) $4,800
    Cleverclogs would select the lower of the costs and so this is the relevant cash flow sir for internal transfer shouldn’t it be 600 *9+600*3,
    (600*(9+3)) because 7 dollars is the existing cost it would be incurred irrespective of the project taken or not
