Hi,
I need your help in paper F7 Question 58 (Published financial Stt. / the previous edition revision kit). I’ve difficulty in solving the part V & IV as follows:
Extract Trial Balance at 31 March 20X6:
Inventory Dr US$ 36,000
Trade Receivables DR US$ 47,100
Bank CR US$ 11,500
Revenue CR US$ 339,650
COS DR US$ 207,750
Administrative Exp. DR US$ 30,700
Loan Interest Paid DR US$ 2,400Part (V): The Inventory of Highwood was not counted until 4 April 20X6 due to operational reason. At this date its value was $ 36 million and this figure has been used in the cost of sales calculation above> Between the year end 31 March 20X6 and 4 April 20X6, Highwood received a delivery of goods at a cost of $ 2.7 million at mark-up on cost of 30%. Neither the goods delivered nor the sales made in the period were included in Highwood Purchases (as part of cost of sales) or revenue in the above trial balance.
Part (IV): On 31 March 20X6 Highwood factored (sold) trade receivables with a book value of $ 10 million to Easyfiance. 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 the receivables it would have made an allowance of $ 600,000 against them.
I would be much appreciated you assistance, If you could explain the answer in details supported with any useful information (such as formula, etc…).
Best Regards.

I’m not surprised that you’re having a problem with point (V)!
You’re missing some VITAL piece of information!
“Part (V): The Inventory of Highwood was not counted until 4 April 20X6 due to operational reason. At this date its value was $ 36 million and this figure has been used in the cost of sales calculation above> Between the year end 31 March 20X6 and 4 April 20X6, Highwood received a delivery of goods at a cost of $ 2.7 million at mark-up on cost of 30%. Neither the goods delivered nor the sales made in the period were included in Highwood Purchases (as part of cost of sales) or revenue in the above trial balance.”
Can you check that you have correctly typed the sentence that begins “Between the year end …”
Point (IV) (possibly point (vi) unless you’ve copied point number 5 before point number 4!)
Highwood has not “sold” these Receivables because the risks and rewards have not been transferred “Any of the factored receivables outstanding after six months will be refunded to Easyfinance” tells us that the risk of non-collection from the Receivables is a cost that Highwood has to bear
So we need to undo the entries that were put through to record this “sale” and then make the correct entries to reflect the reality of the situation
Well, if it’s not a sale, what is it? It’s a loan from Easyfinance to Highwood
Undo the “sale” entries
Dr Receivables $10m
Cr Cash $8.7m
Cr Administrative expenses $1.3mThat gets us back to the position BEFORE the “sale” transaction was (incorrectly) accounted for
Now record the receipt of the cash as a secured loan from Easyfinance
Dr Cash $8.7m
Cr Loan creditor $8.7mOf course, you can see that in these two double entries I have first of all credited cash and then debited it. We can short cut this and combine the two separate entries into just one as follows …
Dr Receivables $10m
Cr Loan creditor $8.7m
Cr Administrative expenses $1.3mFurther, we now need to make a provision for doubtful debts (an allowance for receivables)
Dr Finance costs (or administrative expenses) $.6m
Cr Receivables $.6mOK?
Thanks for answering.
Sorry for the missed information on part (V), the correct sentence is: Between the year end 31 March 20X6 and 4 April 20X6, Highwood received a delivery of goods at a cost of $ 2.7 million and made sales of 7.8 million at mark-up on cost of 30%.
Waiting your answer please.
Part (V): The Inventory of Highwood was not counted until 4 April 20X6 due to operational reason. At this date its value was $ 36 million and this figure has been used in the cost of sales calculation above> Between the year end 31 March 20X6 and 4 April 20X6, Highwood received a delivery of goods at a cost of $ 2.7 million and made sales of 7.8 million at mark-up on cost of 30%. Neither the goods delivered nor the sales made in the period were included in Highwood Purchases (as part of cost of sales) or revenue in the above trial balance.
So, the inventory per the count was $36,000,000
But included in that figure is the value of inventory received since the year end of $2,700,000 so that needs to be deducted to find the year end figure – now adjusted to $33,300,000
But there have been sales since the year end of $7,800,000 at a mark up of 30% so we need to add those back in at cost
100/130 * $7,800,000 is $6,000,000 and that figure is the cost value of the sold inventory
So the correct year end inventory is $33,300,000 + $6,000,000 = $39,300,000
OK?
I also want to ask part (I) and part (IV) in this question :
Part IV , this is the answer
Deferred tax $’000
Balance required at 31.3.X6 (27m ? 25%) 6,750
Current balance (2,600)
Deferred tax on revaluation (15m ? 25%) (3,750)
Charge to current tax 400I don’t understand balance required, current balance and why it is charge to current tax
And in part I, this is the answer
As this is a convertible loan note, it has to be split between debt and equity:
$’000
Interest years 1–3 (2,400 ? (0.91 + 0.83 + 0.75) 5,976
Repayment year 3 (30,000 ? 0.75) 22,500
Liability component 28,476
Equity component 1,524
Cash received 30,000Liability component 28,476
Interest (28,476 ? 10%) 2,848
Less interest paid (2,400)
Balance at 31.3.20X6 28,924I don’t understand ” As this is a convertible loan note, it has to be split between debt and equity”
And how can we calculate equity component =1,524
The interest is 2,848 and company paid 2,400 so why the interest is not = 0,448
Thank you so much
Hi,
The treatment for the convertible loan notes is the standard treatment where we are following the concept of substance over form. Work through the class noted and videos on this area of the syllabus.
The tax is slightly more complicated than usual as the movement in the deferred tax is being adjusted for the revaluation of the PPE.
Thanks.
