    sir, I present you the whole question but it is enough for us to look at the 1st note here

    The following trial balance relates to Pricewell at 31 March 20X9:
    $000 $000
    Leasehold property – at valuation 31 March 20X8 (note (1)) 25,200
    Plant and equipment (owned) – at cost (note (1)) 46,800
    Right?of?use assets – at cost (note (1)) 20,000
    Accumulated depreciation at 31 March 20X8:
    Owned plant and equipment

    12,800
    Right?of?use plant 5,000
    Lease payment (paid on 31 March 20X9) (note (1)) 6,000
    Lease liability at 1 April 20X8 (note (1)) 15,600
    Contract with customer (note (2)) 14,300
    Inventory at 31 March 20X9 28,200
    Trade receivables 33,100
    Bank 5,500
    Trade payables 33,400
    Revenue (note (3)) 310,000
    Cost of sales (note (3)) 234,500
    Distribution costs 19,500
    Administrative expenses 27,500
    Equity dividend paid 8,000
    Equity shares of 50 cents each 40,000
    Retained earnings at 31 March 20X8 44,100
    Current tax (note (4)) 700
    Deferred tax (note (4)) 8,400

    Total: 469,300 469,300

    (1) Non?current assets:
    The 15?year leasehold property was acquired on 1 April 20X7 at a cost of $30 million.
    The accounting policy is to revalue the property at fair value at each year end. The
    valuation in the trial balance of $25.2 million as at 31 March 20X8 led to an impairment
    charge of $2.8 million which was reported in the statement of profit or loss and other
    comprehensive income in the year ended 31 March 20X8. At 31 March 20X9 the
    property was valued at $24.9 million.
    Owned plant is depreciated at 25% per annum using the reducing balance method.
    The right?of?use plant was acquired on 1 April 20X7. The rentals are $6 million per
    annum for four years payable in arrears on 31 March each year. The interest rate
    implicit in the lease is 8% per annum. Right?of?use plant is depreciated over the lease
    period.
    No depreciation has yet been charged on any non?current assets for the year ended
    31 March 20X9. All depreciation is charged to cost of sales.

    (2) On 1 October 20X8 Pricewell entered into a contract to construct a bridge over a river.
    The performance obligation will be satisfied over time. The agreed price of the bridge
    is $50 million and construction was expected to be completed on 30 September 20Y0.
    The $14.3 million in the trial balance is:
    $000
    Materials, labour and overheads 12,000
    Specialist plant acquired 1 October 20X8 8,000
    Payment from customer (5,700)
    ––––––
    14,300
    ––––––
    The sales value of the work done at 31 March 20X9 has been agreed at $22 million and
    the estimated cost to complete (excluding plant depreciation) is $10 million. The
    specialist plant will have no residual value at the end of the contract and should be
    depreciated on a monthly basis. Pricewell recognises progress towards satisfaction of
    the performance obligation on the outputs basis as determined by the agreed work to
    date compared to the total contract price.
    (3) Pricewell’s revenue includes $8 million for goods it sold acting as an agent for Trilby.
    Pricewell earned a commission of 20% on these sales and remitted the difference of
    $6.4 million (included in cost of sales) to Trilby.
    (4) The directors have estimated the provision for income tax for the year ended 31 March
    20X9 at $4.5 million. The required deferred tax provision at 31 March 20X9 is $5.6
    million. All adjustments to deferred tax should be taken to the statement of profit or
    loss. The balance of current tax in the trial balance representsthe under/over provision
    of the income tax liability for the year ended 31 March 20X8.

    Based on this info the book calculated cogs like this:
    Cost of sales $000
    Per question 234,500
    Contract (W1) 14,000
    Agency cost of sales (W2) (6,400)
    Depreciation (W4) – leasehold property 1,800
    – owned plant 8,500
    – right?of?use asset (20,000 × 25%) 5,000
    Surplus on revaluation of leasehold property (W4) (1,500)
    –––––––
    255,900

    Have you got the (W4) calculation so I can see what they’ve done as it isn’t instantly obvious to me. Thanks.

    Hi,

    So, they are reversing a previous impairment of an asset. They have depreciated the asset for the year to get to the carrying value before then working out the difference to get to the revalued amount.

    This difference does not go through OCI as the impairment went previously through profit or loss, so we take the impairment reversal through profit or loss.

    Thanks

    Possibly to do with the contract starting halfway through the year.
