    Yes had the same question, found the pension question a bit left field, what did you put for the patent being revalued to the futures cash flows of the licenses? I said that it had no market so couldn’t be revalued but now starting to think differently

    Had the same exam as you and answered that similarly. Said that because it was a patent that was legal protection of a very specific thing that couldn’t be sold in an active market
    Pension question i wrote about how the things that happened affected the balance on the SOFP and how the pension asset will be subject to deferred tax and the acid ceiling test

    I had Operating Lease because of the fact that the lessor could have substituted the asset and compensate the lessee for losses. But it seems like the correct answer was finance lease.

    I had this! I didn’t realise in Q1 you had to calculate goodwill a year later for the surveying!

    I put finance lease as it was for its whole
    useful life and although they could replace it. They had to pay the company while they replaced, indicating the lessor has no control of the asset

    I don’t think you had to calculate goodwill a year later, just had to state that if you received the valuation after the 12 months then you couldn’t use it. Then the original carrying amount should have been used not the fair value adjustment

    I wrote finance lease, cause lease was for 30 years from 40, most of useful life, and lessee had option to purchase the building. And in past experience it did it every time.

    What you did with research and dev cost on artificial cells? and in Q1 their was deff tax liability but the tax relief year and expense incurring year was the same so I thought that their would be no need to put deff tax liab but instead it was a relief , however no temporary difference. What you did with that ?

    Please remind me who had to pay for the substitution the lessor or lessee

    And on the surveyors report on the scenario it was within the 12months right?

    I said that the research and dev costs could not be capitalised since there is no expectation of future economic benefits since the safety trials are in the early stages.

    Deferred tax had to be reversed since tax base and accounting treatment was the same (i.e. both allowed in the year of payment).

    Went with finance lease as well for reasons stated above. Also even though they could substitute it wouldn’t make business sense due to compensation of losses.

    Therefore they should recognise a finance lease receivable.
