    1.Hillusion Co acquired 80% of Skeptik Co on 1 July 20X2. In the post-acquisition period Hillusion Co sold
    goods to Skeptik Co at a price of $12 million. These goods had cost Hillusion Co $9 million. During the year
    to 31 March 20X3 Skeptik Co had sold $10 million (at cost to Skeptik Co) of these goods for $15 million.
    How will this affect group cost of sales in the consolidated statement of profit or loss of Hillusion Co for the
    year ended 31 March 20X3?
    A Increase by $11.5 million
    B Increase by $9.6 million
    C Decrease by $11.5 million
    D Decrease by $9.6 million
    2.How should the $200,000 worth upgrade of new components which decreases economic benefit be accounted for?
    A Added to the carrying amount of the machine
    B Charged to profit or loss
    C Capitalised as a separate asset
    D Debited to accumulated depreciation
    When asset increases the the economic benefit wouldnt we capitalize it so when it decreases the benefit wouldn’t we charge as an expense ( the answer is A. could please you expalin both questions in detail?)

    IN ADDTION TO THIS I HAVE DOUBT IN A PARTICULAR ADJUSTMENT
    Kaplan 353 Question
    On 31 March 20X1 Highwood factored (sold) trade receivables with a book value of
    $10 million to Easyfinance. Highwood received an immediate payment of $8.7 million
    and will pay Easyfinance 2% per month on any uncollected balances. Any of the
    factored receivables outstanding after six months will be refunded to Easyfinance.
    Highwood has derecognised the receivables and charged $1.3 million to
    administrative expenses. If Highwood had not factored these receivables it would
    have made an allowance of $600,000 against them.

    How should we Account this adjustment in Sopl and Sofp?

    Hi,

    1) You need to adjust for the $12 million of intra-group sales and then for the PUP on the $5 million of goods that are still held.

    2) It is a bit odd and I’d need to see the question in more depth to fully understand it.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    A bit confused. Is the adjustments given re the receivable what has been done, or is that the answer and you do not understand it, sorry.

    Thanks
