sometimes they ask us to re-enter. did with me once but they corrected it again without prompting from me. Did u pass f4?
December 3, 2014 at 5:26 pm #216979In 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 chargeatleast thats what I did

December 3, 2014 at 5:30 pm #216985For the impairment , i think non current assets were impaired by 30,

Construction contracts in MCQ- did anyone get Nil as answer?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.

December 3, 2014 at 5:39 pm #216995I 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%?
