    In Question 1 we had to increase Cost of sales/ Inventory for purchased subsidiary, then increase the operating costs by 2.5 million ( remuneration) and increase finance cost by 10% of newly acquired loan. After that I think we needed to recalculate the Ratios – ROE, GPM, net asset turnover and net profit margin and then comment on differences/changes?

    In question 2 – , the amendements required were loan at effective rate ( giving a N/C liability on balance sheet and finance charge on P&L). Tax charge needed to be calculated for P&L ( deferred tax increased to 12800 from 12000). Also depreciation and imapirment charge was required. , after that you had to asseble a balance sheet from that data/ or am I wrong?

    Exactly! I remember the 800 increase in tax charge. Deprecation had to be charged for the year before comparing it with revalued amount, the revaluation was 12000 tax charge @ 20%.

    In short, from the draft retained earnings, the following had to be deducted
    Tax increase 800
    Depreciation on the revalued amounts
    finance charge

    atleast thats what I did

    Deferred tax was 2400 or 2500 dont remember, tax base differnces 10 m, and 9 m revaluation, so i got deferred tax liability 2800 and charge to PL 10m *20%-2400(or 2500)

    I think to obtain the figure of profit to date, you did not subtract the estimated cost to complete along with the cost incurred to date from total profit, and then multiplied the answer by the percentage of completion.

    I forgot to add Non-Controlling interest in Q3.
    How did you account for increase in fair value of Subsidiary’s assets- did you include them in goodwill calculation and Calculation of PPE on balance sheet?

    I think the value of construction contract was 5M, costs to date + to finish was 4 M, so Estimated profi 1M. Because the company was using contract billing amount to determine to completion %. I’m probably wrong but I calculated the work completed as 1.8/5 = 36%?

    Not happy with F7 sitting! Questions were very tricky and made me confuse after doing MCQs first.
    Don’t know how it will be judged! Really in this paper pass mark is totally depend on MCQs.
