Questions
The following information is relevant:
(i) The non-current assets have not been depreciated for the year ended 31 March 20X8.
Dexon plc has a policy of revaluing its land and buildings at the end of each accounting year. The values in
the above statement of financial position are as at 1 April 20X7 when the buildings had a remaining life of 15
years. A qualified surveyor has valued the land and buildings at 31 March 20X8 at $180 million.
Plant is depreciated at 20% on the reducing balance basis.
(ii) The investment is a fund whose value changes directly in proportion to a specified market index. The
investment is measure at financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are held. At 1 April 20X7 the
relevant index was 1,200 and at 31 March 20X8 it was 1,296.
(iii) In late March 20X8 the directors of Dexon plc discovered a material fraud perpetrated by the company’s
credit controller that had been continuing for some time. Investigations revealed that a total of $4 million of
the trade receivables as shown in the statement of financial position at 31 March 20X8 had in fact been paid
and the money had been stolen by the credit controller. An analysis revealed that $1.5 million had been
stolen in the year to 31 March 20X7 with the rest being stolen in the current year. Dexon plc is not insured
for this loss and it cannot be recovered from the credit controller, nor is it deductible for tax purposes.
(iv) During the year the company’s taxable temporary differences increased by $10 million of which $6 million
related to the revaluation of the property. The deferred tax relating to the remainder of the increase in the
temporary differences should be taken to profit or loss. The applicable income tax rate is 20%.
(v) The above figures do not include the estimated provision for income tax on the profit for the year ended
31 March 20X8. After allowing for any adjustments required in items (i) to (iii), the directors have estimated
the provision at $11.4 million (this is in addition to the deferred tax effects of item (iv)).
(vi) Dividends totalling $15.5 million were paid during the year.
