    Hi Sir, I am having some difficulties regards to acca december 2010 questions

    On 1 June 2010, Premier acquired 80% of the equity share capital of Sanford. The consideration consisted of two
    elements: a share exchange of three shares in Premier for every fi ve acquired shares in Sanford and the issue of a
    $100 6% loan note for every 500 shares acquired in Sanford. The share issue has not yet been recorded by Premier,
    but the issue of the loan notes has been recorded. At the date of acquisition shares in Premier had a market value of
    $5 each and the shares of Sanford had a stock market price of $3·50 each. Below are the summarised draft fi nancial
    statements of both companies.
    Statements of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 September 2010
    Premier Sanford
    $’000 $’000
    Revenue 92,500 45,000
    Cost of sales (70,500 ) (36,000 ) ––––––– –––––––
    Gross profi t 22,000 9,000
    Distribution costs (2,500 ) (1,200 )
    Administrative expenses (5,500 ) (2,400 )
    Finance costs (100 ) nil ––––––– –––––––
    Profi t before tax 13,900 5,400
    Income tax expense (3,900 ) (1,500 ) ––––––– –––––––
    Profi t for the year 10,000 3,900
    Other comprehensive income:
    Gain on revaluation of land (note (i)) 500 nil
    ––––––– –––––––
    Total comprehensive income 10,500 3,900
    ––––––– –––––––
    Statements of fi nancial position as at 30 September 2010
    Assets
    Non-current assets
    Property, plant and equipment 25,500 13,900
    Investments 1,800 nil
    ––––––– –––––––
    27,300 13,900
    Current assets 12,500 2,400
    ––––––– –––––––

    ––––––– –––––––
    Equity and liabilities
    Equity
    Equity shares of $1 each 12,000 5,000
    Land revaluation reserve – 30 September 2010 (note (i)) 2,000 nil
    Other equity reserve – 30 September 2009 (note (iv)) 500 nil
    Retained earnings 12,300 4,500
    ––––––– –––––––
    26,800 9,500
    Non-current liabilities
    6% loan notes 3,000 nil
    Current liabilities 10,000 6,800
    ––––––– –––––––
    Total equity and liabilities 39,800 16,300
    ––––––– –––––––
    The following information is relevant:
    (i) At the date of acquisition, the fair values of Sanford’s assets were equal to their carrying amounts with the
    exception of its property. This had a fair value of $1·2 million below its carrying amount. This would lead to a
    reduction of the depreciation charge (in cost of sales) of $50,000 in the post-acquisition period. Sanford has not
    incorporated this value change into its entity financial statements.

    Premier’s group policy is to revalue all properties to current value at each year end. On 30 September 2010, the
    value of Sanford’s property was unchanged from its value at acquisition, but the land element of Premier’s property had increased in value by $500,000 as shown in other comprehensive income.

    I am curious about why for the increase in value by 500,000 we does not have to add it to revaluation of land account? is that means they mentioned that already shown in other comprehensive income so that means they already recognized it so we does not have to do any adjustment?or because of the sofp given for the land revaluation is at 30 september 2010 already?

    “why for the increase in value by 500,000 we does not have to add it to revaluation of land account”

    It’s already accounted for – look in the Statement of Comprehensive Income:

    “Other comprehensive income:
    Gain on revaluation of land (note (i)) 500 nil”

    There’s the $500,000 already recognised

    It’s a post-acquisition gain – add it into retained earnings

    Investment suggests a controlling holding in a subsidiary

    Equity investment suggests merely a (non-controlling) holding in the shares of another entity

    Which question are you looking at – I don’t think that it’s Premier

    I am looking at

    This is the point with regards to
    acca f7 december 2002 -question 1

    The fair value of Sulphate’s investment was Rs.5 million in excess of its book value at the date of
    acquisition. The fair values of Sulphate’s other net assets were equal to their book values.

    This is the point regards to acca f7 june 2013- q1
    additional information (iv)
    (iv) The financial asset equity investments of Paradigm and Strata are carried at their fair values as at 1 April
    2012. As at 31 March 2013, these had fair values of $7·1 million and $3·9 million respectively.

    I not understand y for the acca dec 2002 tht question can treat it as revaluation but for acca f7 june cannot treat it as revaluation?

    Do you think that maybe the rules could have changed in the 11 years since Sulphate?
