The following information is available:
(i) On 1 January 2014, Woodbank purchased the trading assets and operations of Shaw for $50 million and, on the same date, issued additional 10% loan notes to finance the purchase. Shaw was an unincorporated entity and its results (for three months from 1 January 2014 to 31 March 2014) and net assets (including goodwill not subject to any impairment) are included in Woodbank’s financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014 .There were no other purchases or sales of non-current assets during the year ended 31 March 2014.(ii) Extracts of the results (for three months) of the previously separate business of Shaw, which are included in Woodbank’s statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 2014, are:
————————————$’000
Revenue———————-30,000
Cost of sales ————–(21,000)
——————————- –––––––
Gross profit—————– 9,000
Distribution costs———- (2,000)
Administrative expenses- (2,000)Required: (a) Calculate for the year ended 31 March 2014:
(ii) equivalent ratios to the first FOUR only for Woodbank excluding the effects of the purchase of Shaw. Note: Assume the capital employed for Shaw is equal to its purchase price of $50 million
loan interest 5000
loan note-50000Without Shaw
first four ratios include
ROCE–((16250+1750)-5000 interest)/150000-50000)*100%=13%
Asset turnover–(150000-30000)/100000=1,2
Gross profit margin=(33000-9000)/(150000-30000)*100%=20%
PBIT margin=18000-5000/(150000-30000)=10.8%My question here has 5000 interest been included in finance cost of 20×4(1750)?
Main question will be based on second example.
Both questions have been taken from Bpp
Second example
Shown below are the recently issued (summarised) financial statements of Harbin, a listed company, for the year ended 30 September 2007, together with comparatives for 2006 and extracts from the Chief Executive’s report that accompanied their issue.

an increase in sales revenue of 39%
gross profit margin up from 16·7% to 20%
a doubling of the profit for the period.
In response to the improved position, the Board paid a dividend of 10 sen per share in September 2007; an increase of 25% on the previous year.’
You have also been provided with the following further information. On 1 October 2006, Harbin purchased the whole of the net assets of Fatima (previously a privately owned entity) for RM100 million, financed by the issue of $100,000 *% loan notes
The contribution of the purchase to Harbin’s results for the year ended 30 September 2007 was:Revenue———– 70,000
Cost of sales (40,000)
—————- –––––––
Gross profit 30,000
Operating expenses (8,000)
—————————–––––––
Profit before tax 22,000Interest-8000
Loan note-100000
tax charge 5500-does this beling to Fatima?((2000*25%=2000-500=1500+4000)
Without fatima
First 3 ratiosROCE(24000-22000)/114000-(22000-5500)*100%=2.05
NEt asset(250000-70000)/114000-(22000-5500)=1.85
Net profit(before tax) margin=24000-22000/(250000-70000)*100=1.1
If we see in the second example it has only 22000 profit before tax which has been deducted from PBT of 20×7(profit before tax 16000+8000=24000) but finance cost 8000 has not been deducted why?
Also, if we see 22000-5500why?also why the resul of this is deducted from equity part 114000?
In the first example 5000 deducted which has not Profit before tax? -ROCE–((16250+1750)-5000 interest)/150000-50000 0r 95000+5000)*100%=13%
Also in the first example only nothin deducted from equity part when calculating due to not having any profit before tax?
Please I really need explanation?
(a) Calculate ratios for Harbin for the year ended 30 September 2007 equivalent to those calculated for the year ended 30 September 2006 (showing your workings). (8 marks)
(b) Assess the financial performance and position of Harbin for the year ended 30 September 2007 compared to the previous year. Your answer should refer to the information in the Chief Executive’s report and the impact of the purchase of the net assets of Fatima
May 25, 2017 at 8:17 am #387979You’ve spent over an hour typing this and it’s too difficult for me to read
If you give me the question NAME and / or EXAMINATION REFERENCE eg June 2013 then I may be able to find the question on the internet
It doesn’t help me for you to say that the question is from BPP, Becker, Kaplan … it just doesn’t help
Question name and / or exam reference
But my advice still holds good … move on! That hour that you have spent is worth 33 marks in an exam and you’re asking about an issue that, if it happens to appear in the exam, is worth no more than a maximum of 2 marks
Concentrate on the bigger picture!
mcqs
consolidations
preparation of financial statements for a single entity
cash flows
interpretation of financial statementsOK?
