IIbrahim4y ago
Dear Chris, I hope you are well and safe, thank you so much for your nice explanation and your humour I do enjoying watching your lectures and study ACCA. In respect of the government grant we have to method as per IAS 20 for capital Asset are as follow, 1- Deduct the government grant of the assets acquired. 2- treating the government grant as deferred income. in regarding to method number 2 I understand it very well, but regarding the first treatment it's somehow confused for example it's mentioned in Kaplan textbook the following Given information, government grant=$15000 and had been used to buy capital equipment as follow, Asset acquired =$100000 Estimated useful life = 5 years. Required The presentation of (SFP) and (SPL) at the end of the year. **** The solution as per my understanding in details as follow, the recognition of the government grant is as follow Dr Bank $15000 Cr Deferred income (SFP) $15000 the entry of the asset recognition Dr PPE(SFP) $85000 Dr Deferred income(SFP) $15000 as liability account Cr Bank $100000 The annual depreciation of the year =85,000/5yrs = $17,000 Dr Depreciation Expense $17,000 Cr Accumulated Depreciation $17,000 the presentation of the financial position Non-current assets. PPE (C.V) $68,000 The presentation of the profit or loss and OCI Depreciation expense(SPL) $17,000 Could you check out my workout, please? and tell me correction. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I'd love to be able to go through each of your solutions to check if they are correct but I do not have the time to do so. Similar to my response to your previous post, do you not have a model answer to compare your answer to? Thanks
