The following additional information is available:
(1) The finance director has estimated that the necessary bad debt provision should be 30,000
at 31 March 2008. Movements in the bad debt provision are taken to administrative expenses.
(2) Inventories on hand at 31 March 2008 were valued at 525,000. Goods with a selling price of
5,000, which had cost 4,000, were despatched to a customer on 15 March 2008. These
goods were rejected by the customer on 30 March 2008 and returned to Thirsk Ltd which
received them on 2 April 2008 and accepted them as a valid return.
(3) On 1 April 2007 Thirsk Ltd entered into a 25 year lease of land and buildings. The building has
a useful life of 25 years and is to be used for additional office space. The lease agreement
provided for annual payments of 20,000, which commenced on the first day of the lease. The
fair value of the leasehold interest has been estimated at 425,000, with half of that relating to
the building. The present value of the minimum lease payments for the land and buildings is
also 425,000. Thirsk Ltd has charged the whole of the 20,000 paid on 1 April 2007 to
administrative expenses and has made no other entries in respect of this lease. Thirsk Ltd
charges finance costs on finance leases on a sum of the digits basis.
(4) On 31 December 2007 the directors decided to sell a machine which had cost Thirsk Ltd
50,000 on 1 April 2005. The machine was expected to sell for 10,000 with selling costs of

until after the year end. No adjustments to the financial statements have been made in
respect of this machine. On 31 December 2007 the machine met the held for sale criteria of
IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

(2) Inventory on hand at 30 June 2008 has been counted and valued at 19,500.
(3) During the year Agate Ltd decided to rationalise its business. As a result of the rationalisation, a
rented factory was identified as being surplus to requirements. The plan to shut down
operations at this factory was announced in February 2008 to the local workforce. Those
affected were offered jobs in other areas of Agate Ltds business. A relocation package was
offered to staff affected by the closure who were required to move to take up other jobs within
Agate Ltd.
The total rationalisation cost has been calculated by Agate Ltd as 1,500,000. Of this amount
700,000 relates to staff relocation packages due to be paid on 31 August 2008 and the

fair value of the plant and equipment was estimated as 42,000 and costs to sell were
estimated as 1,500. Depreciation was charged at the standard rate of 10% pa on cost for the
held for sale asset as it remained unsold at the year end and is included in the depreciation
charge calculated above. The fair value of the plant and equipment fell to 39,000 at
30 June 2008, costs to sell remained the same.
(5) The patent rights were acquired on 1 October 2007. The patent rights have a five year life and

75,000 1 ordinary shares were issued for cash at 2.30 each.

(7) During the year an error had been identified in the opening balance of receivables whereby a
customer account had been double counted in the receivables total at that date. The correct
opening balance on the customers account at 1 July 2007 was 7,350.
(8) On 1 September 2007 Agate Ltd entered into a two year contract to provide advertising
services to one of its customers for 30,000, payable in advance. Agate Ltd agreed to display
billboards for the customer on all its main sites over the two years. The 30,000 has been
included in revenue for the current year.

the end of the year. The preference dividend has not yet been paid.

Assume that revenue and costs accrue evenly throughout the year.
Spinal plc charged Carnelian Ltd a management fee of 60,000 during the year. This has
been recognised by Spinal plc as Investment income.
An impairment review carried out in the year in relation to the investment in Diagem Ltd
has revealed a loss of 45,000 caused by a competitor entering the market in which
Diagem Ltd operates.
Carnelian Ltd sold goods to Spinal plc at a transfer price of 140,000 on 28 April 2008.
The transfer price was based on a mark-up of 40% on cost. Half of the goods remained in
the inventory of Spinal plc at the year end.
(2) The following information is relevant to the new manufacturing process.
Raw materials
There were 60 tonnes of raw metal in inventory at the year end. Spinal plc uses the first-in-first-
out (FIFO) method to value its raw metal inventory.
Raw metal is bought in batches of 50 tonnes in September, December, March and June. The
price of raw metal in July 2007 was 1,200 per tonne. This had fallen to 950 per tonne in
January 2008 and had risen to 1,050 per tonne in April 2008.

Work in progress and finished goods
5,000 complete units had been manufactured during the year. These units were either sold
during the year or held as finished goods at the year end. Spinal plc had expected to
manufacture 6,000 units but manufacturing had to be suspended during the year due to some
unplanned maintenance being carried out.
Spinal plc uses the weighted average cost method to measure its work in progress and finished
goods.
Total costs incurred in the manufacturing process during the period were:

Raw metal 195,000
Direct labour 253,200
Factory overheads 155,800
Unplanned maintenance cost 18,000
Administrative costs attributable to the process 107,000
Work in progress at the year end there were 500 units still in the manufacturing process.
Work in progress is currently assessed as being all 80% complete.
Finished goods 350 units were held in inventory at the year end. 200 of these were delivered
to a customer shortly after the year end at a price of 135 per unit. This is a special discounted
price (10% discount on selling price) being given to a loyal customer. The remainder of the
inventory is expected to sell at the normal undiscounted price.
Requirements
(a) (i) Prepare the consolidated income statement for Spinal plc for the year ended 30 June
2008.
(ii) Calculate the amount of goodwill that would be recognised in non-current assets in the
consolidated balance sheet of Spinal plc as at 30 June 2008. (9 marks)

(1) Prepayments in respect of other expenses have been estimated at 15,000. Accruals in
respect of raw materials have been estimated at 17,400. These have not yet been adjusted
for in the above figures.
(2) The finance director has estimated that a charge of 21,500 for the year to 30 September
2008 in respect of a necessary increase in the bad debt allowance needs to be taken to other
expenses.
(3) Inventories on hand at 30 September 2008 were valued at a cost of 32,000, including
20 Alpha packages, valued at a cost of 120 each. On 10 October 2008 the sales director
became aware that a competitor had been selling Alpha packages at the heavily discounted
price of 100 each since September 2008. Grasmere Ltds current price list shows Alpha
packages at 200 each.
(4) On 30 June 2008 the company supplied bespoke software to Ullswater plc, in accordance with
the terms of a contract for 500,000 for supply of the software and for two years of after-sales
support. The finance director has estimated the cost of providing the after-sales support at
100,000 for the two years. Grasmere Ltd charges a mark-up on similar after-sales only
contracts of 20%. The 500,000 has been included in revenue. In accordance with the terms
of the contract Ullswater plc had paid the whole of the 500,000 in September 2008.

(5) Depreciation on property, plant and equipment has yet to be charged. Grasmere Ltd charges
depreciation as follows:
Property on a straight-line basis over 50 years

Plant and equipment at a rate of 20% per annum on reducing balance
All property, plant and equipment has previously been held at cost but on 1 October 2007 the
board of directors decided to revalue the companys property. On that date, an independent
valuer valued the property at 2 million (land 944,000, buildings 1,056,000). The total
estimated useful life of the buildings was unchanged at 50 years, giving a remaining useful life
at 1 October 2007 of 44 years. The finance director plans to make an annual transfer between
the revaluation reserve and retained earnings in accordance with best practice.
(6) Grasmere Ltd offers a 12 month warranty on sales of all of its off-the-shelf accounting
packages. Provision is made at each year end based on the anticipated level of returns, which
has habitually been 2% of sales.
(7) A dividend of 20p per ordinary share was declared on 15 September 2008 and paid shortly
after the year end. The preference dividend for the year was paid on 30 September 2008 and
has been included in other expenses.
(8) The income tax charge for the year ended 30 September 2008 has been estimated at
450,000.
Requirement
Prepare an income statement for Grasmere Ltd for the year ended 30 September 2008 and a balance
sheet as at that date in a form suitable for publication. Expenses should be analysed by nature.

3. Thirlmere plc is a large manufacturing company with a number of subsidiaries. The finance director is
unsure how to deal with certain items in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
30 September 2008.
The following information is relevant:
(1) On 1 October 2007 Thirlmere plc purchased 40,000 of the 100,000 equity shares of Wastwater
Ltd for consideration of 1 million of its own shares, with a fair value of 1.20 each, and 52,000
cash. Thirlmere plc has the right to appoint a director to the board of Wastwater Ltd and has
significant influence over the financial and operating policies of Wastwater Ltd.
The carrying amounts of Wastwater Ltds assets and liabilities on 1 October 2007 were as
follows:
000
Property, plant and equipment at cost 2,450
Inventories 320
Cash and cash equivalents 15
Other current assets 245
Current liabilities (152)
Non-current liabilities (50)
2,828
All carrying amounts are equal to fair values, with the exception of property which was
purchased ten years ago. This property, which had a cost of 200,000, and a carrying amount
of 160,000, had a fair value of 250,000 at 1 October 2008. This fair value was not
incorporated into Wastwater Ltds books. Wastwater Ltd depreciates property over a 50 year
useful life.
In the year to 30 September 2008, Wastwater Ltd made a profit after tax of 210,000 but neither
paid nor declared any dividends. The finance director has calculated that an impairment loss of
10,000 needs to be recognised in the current year in respect of Thirlmere plcs investment in
Wastwater Ltd.
(2) On 1 August 2008 the production director decided to sell a major piece of plant and machinery.
The machine was correctly classified in accordance with IFRS5, Non-current Assets Held for
Sale and Discontinued Operations, as held for sale at that date. A buyer was identified on that
date and a price of 45,000 agreed. Selling costs are expected to be 1,000 when the sale is
completed in October 2008. Thirlmere plc had paid 150,000 for the machine on 1 April 2005,
made up of a 100,000 part-exchange allowance and 50,000 cash. Thirlmere plc depreciates
plant and machinery on a straight-line basis at a rate of 20%.
An equivalent new machine could be purchased for 175,000. If the machine were to be
retained in the business the finance director has estimated that it would generate future cash
flows with a present value of 40,000.
(3) The finance director has recently been on a course entitled Measurement in financial
statements. On his return he said, I was told that the IASBs Framework for the Preparation
and Presentation of Financial Statements refers to four measurement bases but I am unclear as
to what these are and what each of them means.
Requirements
(a) Prepare extracts from Thirlmere plcs consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended
30 September 2008 and consolidated balance sheet as at that date reflecting amounts in
respect of Wastwater Ltd from (1) above. (5 marks)

(b) Calculate the income statement charges or credits in respect of the machine in (2) above and
show how they would be dealt with in Thirlmere plcs income statement for the year ended
30 September 2008. (4 marks)
(c) Prepare brief notes for the finance director in respect of his query in (3) above. You should set
out the four measurement bases and explain each of them with reference to the figures in (2)
above. (5 marks)
(14 marks)

Ignore taxation.

respectively for the year ended 30 September 2008.

answer booklet.
7. Unless otherwise stated, make all calculations to the nearest month and to the nearest .

1. Adeje Ltd has a year end of 30 June 2009 and its assistant accountant has extracted the following list
of balances from the nominal ledger as at that date:

Interim dividend paid 21,250
Ordinary share capital 1,050,000
Share premium account 200,000
6% irredeemable preference share capital 60,000
Freehold land and buildings
Cost (land 700,000) 2,500,000
Plant and equipment
Cost 351,000
Cash at bank (overdraft) 18,250
Research and development expenditure capitalised 120,000
Inventories at 30 June 2009 42,000
(1) Shortly after the year end a warehouse assistant discovered that goods costing 2,500 had
been received on 28 June 2009 but accidently omitted from the year-end inventory count.
(2) On 3 April 2009 a claim was made against Adeje Ltd by one of its customers for supplying
faulty goods. Adeje Ltds lawyers have considered the claim and believe that there is an 80%
chance that the customer will win the case if it is taken to court. The customer is demanding
that a full refund should be given of 10,000 plus damages of 5,000. The lawyers have
advised Adeje Ltds directors that they should settle the claim out of court to avoid adverse
publicity.
The goods were returned to Adeje Ltd for investigation before being scrapped. The production
manager identified that wood that had been purchased from Toscas Ltd, one of its regular
suppliers, had been of a poor quality. This was an isolated problem.
Adeje Ltds lawyers wrote to Toscas Ltd explaining the situation. At the year end, negotiations
were advanced between the two companies, with Toscas Ltd agreeing to pay 10,000 to Adeje
Ltd to cover the customers refund. This amount was received by Adeje Ltd on 13 August 2009,
however discussions continue with regard to recovering the cost of the damages.
(3) Research and development expenditure of 120,000 was incurred and capitalised during the
current year. 40,000 of this expenditure was spent on research activities and 25,000 was
incurred prior to Adeje Ltd gaining the necessary licence to market their new product.
(4) On 1 January 2009 Adeje Ltd entered into a two-year operating lease for some new computer
equipment. A non-returnable deposit of 1,000 was paid on signing the lease and there is
nothing further to pay in 2009. Four quarterly payments of 1,000 are then payable, with the
first payment due on 1 January 2010. The cash deposit was correctly recorded in the cash at
bank account and was also recognised as part of the cost of plant and equipment.

(5) No adjustment has been made for the depreciation charges for the year ended 30 June 2009.
Freehold buildings are depreciated at 3% per annum on a straight-line basis and plant and
equipment is depreciated on a reducing balance basis at a rate of 15% per annum.
(6) Adeje Ltd raised new finance during the period in the form of 6% irredeemable preference
shares. 60,000 1 shares were issued at par on 1 January 2009 and have been correctly
accounted for. The appropriate dividend in respect of these shares was paid on 30 June 2009
and was recognised as a finance cost in arriving at the draft profit before tax for the year.
(7) The income tax liability for the year ended 30 June 2009 has been estimated at 41,000.
Requirement
Prepare the statement of financial position of Adeje Ltd as at 30 June 2009 and the statement of
changes in equity for the year ended 30 June 2009 in a form suitable for publication.

being 50% complete and costs incurred to date totalled 45,000. The customer paid a deposit
of 40,000 when the contract was signed, with the remaining amount being due when the work
is complete. Costs to complete the work have been reliably estimated at 35,000. Revenue and

1. Set out below is the trial balance of Moreton Ltd as at 30 September 2009.

Sales 2,885,500
Purchases 1,345,600
Rent 789,000
Inventories at 30 September 2008 134,000
Retained earnings at 30 September 2008 178,900
Provision for legal claim at 30 September 2008 27,000
Share premium 20,000
Patent cost 40,000
Patent accumulated amortisation at 30 September 2008 8,000
Cash in hand 820
Cash at bank 13,600
Bank loan (repayable 1 October 2010) 200,000
Interest paid 7,500
Suspense account 25,000
4,011,620 4,011,620
(1) The finance director has calculated that prepaid administrative expenses of 56,000 and
accrued distribution costs of 75,000 need to be adjusted for at 30 September 2009.
(2) Inventories on hand at 30 September 2009 were valued at 156,000 before any adjustment for
goods held by third parties.
At 30 September 2009, Kingham Ltd, a customer of Moreton Ltd, held inventories which it had
purchased on credit from Moreton Ltd on a sale or return basis for 30,000. This transaction
has been accounted for as a normal credit sale by Moreton Ltd. The goods had cost Moreton
Ltd 20,000. Kingham Ltd has not yet settled its liability with Moreton Ltd in respect of these
goods.
(3) Moreton Ltd rents its premises and all of its equipment under operating leases. Of the
789,000 above, 70% should be allocated to cost of sales and 30% to administrative
expenses.
(4) The patent was acquired on 1 October 2006 and is being amortised over its estimated useful
life of 10 years. Amortisation charges on this patent are presented in cost of sales. On 1 April
2009 the directors decided to sell this patent to a competitor, as the company wishes to move
out of that particular market sector.
The patent was expected to sell for 22,000 with selling costs of 1,000. A buyer was found on
1 September 2009 at that price, although the sale was not completed until after the year end.
No adjustments to the financial statements have been made in respect of this patent. On
1 April 2009 the patent met the held for sale criteria of IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for
Sale and Discontinued Operations, and continued to do so as at the year end.

(5) The legal claim provided for at 30 September 2008 was settled during the current year for
25,000. The 25,000 was posted to the nominal ledger by Moreton Ltds accounting clerk
who only made one entry in the ledger, to the bank account when the cheque was despatched
to the claimant. The balance on the suspense account arose because of this oversight.
(6) On 15 October 2009, Moreton Ltd received a separate claim from a different customer in
respect of faulty goods supplied to it by Moreton Ltd on 20 September 2009. The customer is
claiming for the cost of the goods (60,000) and for damages (10,000). Moreton Ltds legal
advisers are of the opinion that there is a 60% chance that the claim will be settled at 60,000
and a 40% chance that the claim will be settled at 70,000.
Moreton Ltd has made a counter claim, against its supplier, for 75% of the amount at which
the above claim is expected to be settled. The legal advisers believe that Moreton Ltd is
virtually certain to recover this from its supplier.
The legal advisers expect both claims to be settled within six months of the year end.
(7) The bank loan was taken out on 1 March 2008 and bears interest at 5%.
Requirement
Prepare an income statement for Moreton Ltd for the year ended 30 September 2009 and a statement
of financial position as at that date in a form suitable for publication.

2. You are the assistant accountant at Bushley plc, a manufacturing company, and have been asked to
prepare the note showing the movements on property, plant and equipment for inclusion in Bushley
plcs financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2009.
You have extracted the following balances in relation to property, plant and equipment from the
financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2008:
Land and buildings Plant and equipment

Cost 1,300,000 870,000
Accumulated depreciation (180,000) (423,000)
1,120,000 447,000
You have also gathered the following information:
(1) Bushley plc has previously adopted the cost model for all of its property, plant and equipment.
However, on 1 October 2008, the land and buildings were revalued as follows:
Land Buildings

Original cost on 1 October 1978 1,000,000 300,000
Valuation on 1 October 2008 1,800,000 700,000
The buildings were being depreciated over a 50-year useful life. The revised remaining useful
life of the buildings at the date of the valuation was estimated to be 40 years. Bushley plc
wishes to make an annual transfer between the revaluation surplus and retained earnings in
accordance with best practice.
(2) The plant and equipment (cost) nominal ledger account for the year ended 30 September
2009 showed the following movements:

1 Oct 2008 B/f 870,000 1 July 2009 Disposal (Machine 157) 56,000
1 Apr 2009 Bank (Machine 251) 120,000
1 July 2009 Purchases 56,000
1 July 2009 Wages 24,000
The transfers from purchases and wages are in respect of a specialised cutting machine which
Bushley plc started constructing for its own use in the current year. This machine was almost
complete by 30 September 2009.
All plant and equipment is depreciated, on a straight-line basis, over five years. Machine 157,
which was disposed of on 1 July 2009, had been purchased on 1 July 2006.
(3) The directors reviewed a number of the companys machines for possible impairment on
30 September 2009. Machine 132, which had cost 78,000 on 1 October 2006, was found to
be impaired. It was estimated that its fair value at 30 September 2009 was 15,000 and that
costs to sell would be 500. Its value in use was estimated at 20,000.

Requirements
(a) Prepare the note showing the movements on property, plant and equipment, including
accumulated depreciation, which would be included in the financial statements of Bushley plc
for the year ended 30 September 2009. (13 marks)

3. During the year ended 30 September 2009, Bredon Ltd reorganised its resources, selling one of its
subsidiary companies and issuing a number of shares. Details of these transactions and an error
discovered in the course of the audit are set out below:
(1) Bredon Ltd acquired 80% of Longdon Ltds 100,000 1 ordinary shares several years ago.
Goodwill acquired in this business combination was 22,800. Since the acquisition,
impairment losses of 5,000 have been recognised in respect of this goodwill.
Longdon Ltds retained earnings at 30 September 2008 were 717,000. In the year ended
30 September 2009 Longdon Ltd made a profit after tax of 32,000, which accrued evenly
over the year. On 1 April 2009, Bredon Ltd sold all of its shares in Longdon Ltd for 700,000.
(2) During the year ended 30 September 2009, Bredon Ltd made the following share issues, all for
cash.
(i) On 1 October 2008, an issue of 200,000 1 ordinary shares at a price of 1.50 per
share.
(ii) On 31 March 2009, an issue of 100,000 1 redeemable 3% preference shares at par.

These shares are redeemable in 2015.
(iii) On 1 July 2009, an issue of 50,000 1 irredeemable 4% preference shares at a price of

1.10 per share.
As at 30 September 2008, the only shares in issue were 500,000 1 ordinary shares, issued at
par. Retained earnings at that date were 2,560,000.
Dividends due on both types of preference shares were paid on 30 September 2009. On
15 August 2009 an interim dividend of 10p per ordinary share was declared and was paid
shortly after the year end.
(3) During their interim audit for the year ended 30 September 2009 the newly-appointed auditors
drew attention to an error in the financial statements for the previous year. In that year,
expenditure had been capitalised for the first time on an intangible asset which did not meet
the criteria set out in IAS 38, Intangible Assets. No further costs in respect of this asset were
capitalised in the current year. The carrying amount of the asset in Bredon Ltds draft
individual (single entity) statement of financial position as at 30 September 2009 is 45,000,
after charging amortisation for the current year of 5,000.
Total comprehensive income in Bredon Ltds draft individual statement of changes in equity for the
year ended 30 September 2009, before adjusting for (2) and (3) above, was 560,000.

Requirements
(a) Calculate the profit from discontinued operations in respect of Longdon Ltd as it would be
presented in the consolidated income statement of Bredon Ltd for the year ended
30 September 2009, in accordance with IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and
Discontinued Operations. (3 marks)
(b) In respect of the transactions set out in (2) and (3) above:

4. During the year ended 31 December 2009 Blantyre Ltd entered into a number of transactions relating
to non-current assets. The financial controller is preparing the draft financial statements and is unsure
how to treat these transactions. Information relating to these non-current assets is set out below.
(1) On 1 January 2009 Blantyre Ltd entered into an agreement to lease a piece of equipment with
a fair value of 85,000. The terms of the lease required an initial non-refundable deposit of
5,000 on 1 January 2009 followed by four annual instalments of 24,000 commencing on
31 December 2009. Following the primary period of the lease of four years Blantyre Ltd can
continue to lease the equipment at a nominal rent and is likely to do so. Blantyre Ltd is fully
responsible for the insurance and maintenance of the equipment.
The estimated useful life of the equipment is five years, after which the equipment will have a
nil residual value.
Blantyre Ltd uses the sum-of-digits method to allocate interest on its finance leases.
(2) Research costs of 70,000 were incurred from 1 January 2009 to 31 March 2009 on the early
development of a new product. A project review was undertaken on 1 April 2009 and on that
date Blantyre Ltd assessed that the development of the new product would be economically
viable. Subsequently, further costs of 120,000 were incurred to complete the development
phase of the project. This included 15,000 on promotional advertising. Production of the new
product started on 1 January 2010.
(3) On 1 April 2009 Blantrye Ltd acquired some technical know-how which will completely change
the way its manufacturing process operates. The following costs have been incurred:

Original cost of technical know-how 180,000
Legal costs incurred as part of acquisition 4,000
Manufacturing supervisors time to install new process 3,200
Staff training incurred in operating new process 13,000
Testing new manufacturing process 4,800
205,000
The new manufacturing process was available for use on 1 July 2009. It was believed that the
new process would be of benefit for the next four years after which it would be replaced.
Although operation of the new manufacturing process during its first six months went well, a
breakthrough in the development of improved technology by a competitor led to an impairment
review being carried out by Blantyre Ltd. At 31 December 2009 the fair value (less costs to sell)
of the technical know-how was assessed as being 152,000 compared with the present value
of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the technology of 157,000.
Requirements
(a) In respect of the non-current assets above, prepare extracts from Blantyre Ltds statement of
financial position as at 31 December 2009 and a summary of the related costs that would be
recognised in the income statement for the year ended 31 December 2009. (13 marks)
(b) Explain the concept of substance over form as set out in the IASB Framework for the
Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements with reference to IAS 17, Leases.
(3 marks)
(c) The IASBs Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements identifies
four qualitative characteristics: understandability, relevance, reliability and comparability.
Explain how IAS 17, Leases applies these qualitative characteristics. (5 marks)

only half of this debt will be recoverable.
(2) During the year Dashwood Ltd began to develop a new production process. Costs were first
incurred on 1 August 2009 and accrued evenly over the period to 31 March 2010. On

3. You are currently on secondment to Norland Ltd, a manufacturer and retailer of electrical goods. The
company accountant has asked for your assistance in calculating certain figures for the consolidated
statement of financial position as at 31 March 2010 and in preparing the provisions note for Norland
Ltds individual (ie single company) financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2010.
During the year ended 31 March 2010, Norland Ltd acquired shares in two other companies: Delaford
Ltd and Barton Ltd. Details of these acquisitions and issues relating to the year-end provisions are set
out below.
(1) On 1 July 2009 Norland Ltd acquired 75% of the ordinary shares of Delaford Ltd for the
following consideration:
Cash of 200,000 payable immediately

Cash of 400,000 payable in one years time (present value 385,500)
750,000 ordinary 1 shares in Norland Ltd (market value 1.20 per share)
On the same date Norland Ltd acquired 30% of the ordinary shares of Barton Ltd, which it
treats as an associate. The consideration of 500,000 was made up entirely of cash.
The statements of financial position of the two companies at the date of acquisition showed
the following:
Delaford Ltd Barton Ltd

Equity
All assets and liabilities included in the companies statements of financial position at the date
of acquisition were stated at their fair values, except for plant held by Delaford Ltd. This plant
had a carrying amount of 220,000 but a fair value of 300,000. On 1 July 2009 this plant had
a remaining useful life of five years.
In the year to 31 March 2010 Delaford Ltd and Barton Ltd reported profits after tax of 235,200
and 123,600 respectively. Profits accrued evenly over the current year.
(2) The following information is relevant to the provisions note:
(i) At 31 March 2010 claims in respect of faulty hair straighteners were in progress from
800 customers. The claims department has advised that 20% of these claims are
invalid. Of the remaining claims, 50% of the straighteners can be repaired at a cost to
Norland Ltd of 20 per item, whilst the other 50% will need to be replaced at a cost of
50 per item. A similar provision was in place at 31 March 2009, amounting to
10,000. 8,500 was paid out in such claims during the year to 31 March 2010.
(ii) During the year to 31 March 2010 Norland Ltd commenced a restructuring of its
domestic appliances division. A formal plan was publicly announced on
1 January 2010 and the six-month programme of restructuring began on
1 March 2010. At 31 March 2010 the anticipated further costs to be incurred were:

Redundancy costs 300,000
Lease termination costs 50,000
Staff retraining and relocation 100,000
450,000

(iii) On 1 January 2009, new legislation came into force requiring manufacturers such as
Norland Ltd to fit smoke filters in their factories. At 31 March 2010 Norland Ltd still had
not fitted such smoke filters. The expected cost of fitting these has always been
estimated at 250,000 and Norland Ltd plans to start this work in May 2010. However,
a number of manufacturers which, like Norland Ltd, have failed to implement the
legislation have been fined by the Health and Safety Executive. Norland Ltds lawyers
have advised that there is a 75% chance that Norland Ltd will be fined for failing to
comply with this legislation. Their best estimate of the fine at 31 March 2010 is
40,000. At 31 March 2009 the lawyers equivalent best estimate was 60,000.
Requirements
(a) Using the information in (1) above, calculate the following figures for Norland Ltds consolidated
statement of financial position as at 31 March 2010:

30 June 2010.

Sales 3,973,000
Purchases 1,560,000
Research and development expenditure 357,600
Operating lease rentals 1,045,000
Inventories at 30 June 2009 346,500
Preference shares 5% Irredeemable 1 shares 180,000
Fixtures and fittings cost 646,000

Cash at bank 21,500
Bank loan (repayable 1 July 2014) 150,000
4,957,600 4,957,600
(1) The research and development expenditure relates to a new micro-fibre that has been
developed for the latest lightweight waterproof jackets. Of the total amount, 120,000 has
been identified as research and development costs incurred before the product was
considered to be commercially viable. The successful development of the material was
completed during February 2010 and jackets were delivered to shops on 1 March 2010. The
jackets have been popular and it is thought that the micro-fibre technology will have a two-year
life, at which time it is expected that it will be superseded.
(2) On 1 July 2008 repairs costing 25,000 were carried out on some shop fittings. This amount
was incorrectly identified as an item of fixtures and fittings since it did not meet the criteria for
capitalisation under IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment.
(3) Eyam Ltd rents all its premises under operating leases. On 10 July 2010 Eyam Ltd received a
demand for 95,000 in relation to rent owed for June 2010. This amount has not been
recognised in the trial balance above. Operating lease rentals should be split 50:50 between
administrative expenses and cost of sales.
(4) Depreciation on fixtures and fittings is charged on a reducing balance basis at a rate of
15% pa and should be presented in administrative expenses.
(5) During the current year, Eyam Ltd introduced an open returns policy whereby goods can be
returned for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. A provision should be recognised based
on 10% of sales made over the last month of the reporting period. Sales in June 2010
amounted to 310,000, all of which were cash sales.
(6) Inventories at 30 June 2010 were valued correctly at 375,600.
(7) The preference dividend for the year was declared on 30 June 2010. No ordinary dividend is to
be paid. The bank loan was taken out at the beginning of 2008 and interest is payable at
4% pa. Interest was paid for the year ended 30 June 2009 but remained unpaid at 30 June
2010.

Requirement
Prepare an income statement for Eyam Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2010 and a statement of
financial position as at that date in a form suitable for publication. (19 marks)

for 300,000 and was assessed as having a useful life of eight years.
(3) Litton plc acquired a hydro-electric power plant on 1 September 2009, at a cost of 10 million.

Revaluation surplus at 1 July 2007 420,000
Estimated useful life of plant at 1 July 2003 25 years
The draft depreciation charge for the year is based on the valuation as at 1 July 2007. There
has been no change to the estimated useful lives of the solar power plants since acquisition.
(5) On 1 July 2009 Litton plc acquired its first wind turbines at a total cost of 2 million, of which the
battery storage system cost 200,000. The wind turbines have a life of 20 years but the battery

Land at cost 400,000
Plant and machinery (Note 2)

Retained earnings at 30 September 2011 576,875
Revaluation surplus at 30 September 2011 518,000
Inventories at 30 September 2011 31,800
Cash at bank 5,100
(1) The ordinary dividend of 168,150 was paid during the current year in respect of the
year ended 30 September 2011.
(2) On 1 April 2012 Bouvardia Ltd decided to sell one of its machines which had a carrying
amount of 8,200 on 30 September 2011. On 1 April 2012 the machine had a fair value
of 6,500 and met the held for sale criteria of IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for
Sale and Discontinued Operations. The machine was still held by Bouvardia Ltd at the
year end, although a buyer had been found. No adjustment to the above balances has
been made in respect of this machine. There have been no other changes to plant and
machinery in the current year.
Plant and machinery is depreciated using the reducing balance method at a rate of
20% pa. Depreciation on plant and machinery should be presented in cost of sales.
(3) Bouvardia Ltd carries its freehold buildings (Property A and Property B) under the
revaluation model. The latest revaluations were on 1 October 2011 but these have not
yet been reflected in the above balances. The following information is available with
regard to these properties:
Property A Property B
Date of purchase 1 October 2002 1 October 1991

Useful life at purchase 40 years 50 years
Cost 400,000 1,000,000
Revaluation surplus at 30 September 2011 62,000 456,000
Carrying amount at 30 September 2011 372,000 1,080,000
Valuation at 1 October 2011 449,500 600,000
ICAEW\246\M13 Page 2 of 9
The useful lives of both properties are unchanged. Where possible, Bouvardia Ltd
makes an annual transfer between the revaluation surplus and retained earnings in
accordance with best practice. Depreciation on buildings should be presented in
administrative expenses.
(4) On 1 October 2011 Bouvardia Ltd moved its head office operations to a different
location, vacating its previous premises on the same date. The previous head office had
been leased under a ten-year non-cancellable operating lease at a cost of 3,000 per
month. At 30 September 2012 Bouvardia Ltd had four years remaining to pay on this
lease. Bouvardia Ltd has found a tenant to rent the building for 2,300 per month for the
remaining four year term commencing on 1 October 2012. The current year rental
payments have correctly been included in other operating costs.
(5) Bouvardia Ltd moved into its newly rented head office building on 1 October 2011. The
building is being leased for 15 years and has a useful life of 50 years. The lease
payment schedule has been negotiated so that Bouvardia Ltd pays less in the early
years and more in the later years to help with cash flow: 18,000 pa is payable for the
first seven years; this will then increase to 36,000 pa for the remaining eight years. At
30 September 2012 the first years rental payment had been made and is included in
the list of balances above.
(6) At 30 September 2012 inventories were valued at 27,300.
(7) The income tax liability for the year has been estimated at 56,000.
Requirements

(5) All plant and equipment has previously been depreciated on a reducing balance basis
using a rate of 25% and the depreciation charge for 2012 has been recognised on this
basis. However, when reviewing the depreciation methods, the directors decided that
for one specialised item of plant a straight-line basis over a total estimated life of six
years would more fairly represent usage. This specialised plant was purchased on
1 January 2009 and had a carrying amount of 30,000 on 1 January 2012.
Requirement
Prepare Hawk Ltds statement of changes in equity for the year ended 31 December 2012. A
total column is not required.

This paper consists of FIVE written test questions (100 marks).
IMPORTANT


1. The following balances have been extracted from the nominal ledger of Temera Ltd at
31 March 2013.

Sales 912,500
Purchases 381,250
Finance cost 5,250
Research and development expenditure (Note 1) 115,000
Intangible assets patents (Note 2)
Cost 15,000
Accumulated amortisation at 31 March 2012 4,500
Land and buildings (Note 3)
Valuation (land 350,000) 980,000
Lease liability (Note 4) 70,250
Retained earnings at 31 March 2012 205,300
Ordinary share capital (1 shares) (Note 5) 323,000
Share premium account (Note 5) 67,500
Revaluation surplus 100,000
Cash at bank 6,900
Suspense account 67,300
1,836,000 1,836,000
(1) The research and development expenditure of 115,000 includes 28,000 incurred up
to 30 June 2012 when a project review was undertaken and Temera Ltd assessed that
the development of the new product was economically viable. The remaining costs were
incurred between 1 July and 1 December 2012, when the new product was launched,
and include 8,000 on staff training, 12,000 on product testing and 10,000 on
promotional advertising. The new product has an estimated useful life of four years. All
expenses relating to research and development should be presented in other operating
costs.
(2) The patents all have an estimated useful life of five years and amortisation is presented
in other operating costs. On 1 October 2012 Temera Ltd sold one of its patents, which
had originally been acquired on 1 April 2010 at a cost of 2,400. The profit on disposal
was correctly calculated as 6,500 but the only accounting entries made were to debit
cash at bank with the sale proceeds and credit a suspense account.
(3) Temera Ltd rents, rather than owns, its plant and equipment. Temera Ltd measures its
land and buildings under the revaluation model. The amount shown in the trial balance
above is for the valuation prior to 31 March 2012 and the balance shown in the
revaluation surplus is split equally between land and buildings.
On 1 April 2012, the date of the most recent valuation, a surveyor valued the buildings
at 400,000 and estimated that the remaining useful life of the buildings at that date was
25 years. This valuation has not yet been reflected in the above figures. There was no
change to the value of the land. Temera Ltd does not make an annual transfer between
the revaluation surplus and retained earnings. Depreciation on buildings should be

(4) Temera Ltd moved part of its head office function to a new location on 1 April 2012.
The building is being leased at a cost of 10,000 pa for ten years and has a useful life of
40 years. Lease payments are made on 31 March each year. On 31 March 2013 the
first payment was made and this has been correctly reflected in the cash at bank
balance above. As the lease was for a building it was assumed that this was a finance
lease and a closing lease liability of 70,250 was recognised along with a finance
charge of 5,250, both of which are included in the balances given above. The other
side of all of the above entries were recognised in the suspense account.
(5) On 1 May 2012 Temera Ltd issued 10,000 1 ordinary shares for cash of 1.30 each.
The full amount received was debited to cash and credited to ordinary share capital.
Subsequently, a 1 for 4 bonus issue of ordinary shares was made on 1 August 2012. No
accounting entries have been made for the bonus issue although the correct number of
shares were issued. The intention was to utilise the share premium account as far as
possible.
(6) At 31 March 2013 inventories were valued at 36,200. However, Temera Ltd had
purchased some of its inventories from an overseas supplier on 1 January 2013 for
5,000. These inventories were not included in the inventory count as they had been
stored in a different area. The invoice was unpaid at 31 March 2013 and was included in
trade payables at the exchange rate on the date of purchase.
The spot exchange rates are as follows:
1 January 2013 1:0.84

31 March 2013 1:0.80
(7) The income tax liability for the year ended 31 March 2013 has been estimated at
56,000. However, on 5 June 2013 Temera Ltd received a letter from HMRC stating
that the tax previously brought forward and paid for the year ended 31 March 2012 had
been understated and an additional 11,500 including interest was now due.
Requirements
(a) Prepare an income statement for Temera Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2013 and a
statement of financial position as at that date in a form suitable for publication.
Your answer should include a working showing how the suspense account has been
cleared. (23 marks)
(b) Explain the differences between IFRS and UK GAAP in respect of the treatment of the
revaluation model. (3 marks)
(c) The IASBs Conceptual Framework identifies relevance and faithful representation as
the two fundamental qualitative characteristics. Explain how these and the enhancing
characteristics are applied in IAS 38, Intangible Assets. (5 marks)
(31 marks)

2. Set out below are extracts from Radazul plcs draft financial statements for the year ended
31 March 2013 which have been prepared by the assistant accountant.
Extract from draft statement of cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2013

Net cash from operating activities (42,235)
Cash flows from investing activities

Proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment 46,000
Cash flows from financing activities

Dividends paid (96,750)
Extract from statement of financial position as at 31 March

2013 2012

Non-current assets
Equity
Current liabilities
Bank overdraft 34,000 24,700
After reviewing the draft financial statements it became clear that although the figures in the
statement of financial position are calculated correctly, the statement of cash flows is
incomplete and contains a number of errors. Relevant information to correct and complete
the statement of cash flows is given below:
(1) During the year ended 31 March 2013 the following occurred in relation to property,
plant and equipment:
Machinery which had a carrying amount of 38,700 was sold for 46,000. In the
reconciliation of profit before tax to cash generated from operations the only
adjustment the assistant accountant made relating to this transaction was to
deduct the sale proceeds.
A number of new items of plant and equipment were acquired during the year.
Cash was paid for these new items except for one item of plant which was
purchased on credit and cost 8,000.
Total depreciation of 111,475 was charged and has been correctly added back in
calculating net cash from operating activities.
An impairment of an item of equipment was identified and was correctly

recognised in the income statement for the year ended 31 March 2013. The
equipments carrying amount at 31 March 2013 was 9,200 and its recoverable
amount was 4,700. No adjustments have been made in the draft statement of
cash flows for this impairment.

(2) After preparing the draft statement of cash flows it was discovered that trade and other
payables at 31 March 2013 included accrued interest of 4,900 (2012: Nil) and the
cost of the plant purchased on credit.
(3) The assistant accountant did not have details of the share issues which had been made
during the year so could not calculate the relevant figure for inclusion in the statement of
cash flows. On further investigation it was discovered that in addition to 165,000
ordinary shares being issued for cash at a price of 2 per share, a bonus issue was
subsequently made out of retained earnings.
(4) The only dividend paid by Radazul plc in the year was an interim dividend. The
assistant accountant calculated the interim dividend of 96,750 included in the draft
statement of cash flows by simply adjusting opening and closing retained earnings by
the loss for the year.
Requirements
(a) Prepare Radazul plcs statement of cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2013.
(8 marks)
(b) Explain the differences between IFRS and UK GAAP in respect of the presentation of
the statement of cash flows. (2 marks)
(10 marks)

3. Centellas plc is a listed company and has a year end of 31 March 2013. Centellas plc has
investments in several subsidiaries and associates and uses the equity method of accounting
whenever possible. The following information has been extracted from Centellas plcs draft
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013:
Consolidated income statement (extract)

Consolidated statement of financial position (extract)

Equity (prior to non-controlling interest) 1,260,400
Centellas plc is looking to attract new investment and so the board of directors is keen to
report as high a profit as possible in the current year financial statements. As the financial
accountant of Centellas plc, and a recently qualified ICAEW Chartered Accountant, you have
been asked to finalise the following matters which have been provisionally dealt with by the
finance director, Anton Caro. Anton qualified as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant in 1972
and has asked you to finalise the financial statements as he hasnt paid much attention to
new IFRSs issued as he is looking to retire next year. Anton is due to receive a substantial
bonus when he leaves based on the reported profit for the current year, and he has told you
that you could be promoted to his role if you can maximise the reported profit this year.
(1) On 1 April 2012 Centellas plc issued 30,000 6% 100 convertible bonds at par. Each
bond is redeemable at par or convertible into five ordinary shares on 31 March 2015.
The equivalent effective interest rate on similar bonds without conversion rights is
9% pa. The full amount received has been credited to non-current liabilities and the first
interest payment was made and debited to finance costs on 31 March 2013. No other
accounting entries have been made in respect of these bonds.
(2) On 1 April 2012 Centellas plc and an unrelated company, Bermeja Ltd, set up a new
company, Vidrio Ltd. Vidrio Ltd issued its 200,000 1 ordinary shares at par, for cash, to
Centellas plc and Bermeja Ltd in equal proportions. Centellas plc and Bermeja Ltd have
a contractual agreement that they will jointly make all the major operating and financial
decisions concerning Vidrio Ltd. As Centellas plc had 50% ownership of Vidrio Ltd it
believed it had control and has therefore consolidated its investment in Vidrio Ltd.
Vidrio Ltd made a profit of 240,000 for the year ended 31 March 2013.
(3) On 1 July 2012 Centellas plc entered into a new lease for its head office building. The
lease is for five years and lease payments are 1,000 per month payable at the end of
each month. The building is estimated to have a useful life of 25 years. To encourage
Centellas plc to enter into the lease it was given the first quarter rent-free, so the first
payment was made on 31 October 2012. Centellas plc has recognised the lease
payments as they were paid.
(4) On 1 January 2013 Centellas plc decided to outsource its printing operation. As a result,
a specialist machine was no longer needed and the directors decided to sell it. The
machine has been taken out of service and has been advertised in national trade
magazines at a price of 62,500. The machine was originally acquired on 1 April 2002
and was estimated to have a useful life of 20 years. The machine was revalued on
31 March 2010 to 84,000 when its carrying amount was 72,000, although there was

no change to its estimated remaining useful life. No transfers were made between
retained earnings and the revaluation surplus.
The machines fair value on 1 January 2013 has been estimated at 62,000 and the
costs to sell at 1,500. No accounting entries have been made in respect of this
machine for the year ended 31 March 2013.
Requirements
(a) Explain the required IFRS financial reporting treatment of the four issues above,
preparing all relevant calculations and discussing the impact on the consolidated
financial statements of Centellas plc for the year ended 31 March 2013. (20 marks)
(b) Calculate revised figures for profit before tax and equity (prior to non-controlling interest)
for the consolidated financial statements of Centellas plc for the year ended 31 March
2013. (3 marks)
(c) Discuss the ethical matters arising from the scenario, referring where appropriate to the
ICAEW Code of Ethics, and explain any action you should take. (4 marks)
(27 marks)

4. Gumar Ltd has a number of subsidiary companies and one associated company, Caleta Ltd.
Gumar Ltd has started preparing its draft consolidated financial statements for the year
ended 31 March 2013 but has currently only consolidated the subsidiaries held at the start of
the year. On 1 July 2012 Gumar Ltd acquired 80% of Abrigo Ltds 165,000 ordinary 1
shares when Abrigo Ltds retained earnings were 72,500.
Extracts from Gumar Ltds draft consolidated statement of financial position and Abrigo Ltds
statement of financial position as at 31 March 2013 are as follows:
Gumar Ltd Abrigo Ltd
(consolidated)
Non-current assets
Cost of investment in Abrigo Ltd 100,000
Cost of investment in Caleta Ltd 105,000
Goodwill 27,800 35,000
Current assets
Inventories 62,900
Borrowings 200,000
Current liabilities
The above figures and the draft consolidated profit before tax of 589,200 were arrived at
before making relevant adjustments arising from the information given below.
Outstanding items:
(1) Consideration for the acquisition of Abrigo Ltd consisted of 100,000 paid on 1 July
2012 and a further cash payment of 100,000 which will be paid on 1 July 2014 if
Abrigo Ltd meets a specified earnings target. As at 1 July 2012 the fair value of the
discounted possible cash payment was 85,000. The applicable discount rate was 4.5%
pa, however, for the nine-month period ended 31 March 2013, it was 4%. The
probability of the earnings target being reached was the same at 31 March 2013 as at
1 July 2012.
Abrigo Ltd has made no share issues since acquisition by Gumar Ltd and its retained
earnings have increased by 23,500 since acquisition.
Abrigo Ltds statement of financial position at acquisition included goodwill of 40,000,

which had arisen on the acquisition of the business of a sole trader. At 31 March 2013
this amount had been impaired by 5,000. Abrigo Ltds financial statements disclosed a
contingent liability which had a fair value of 32,000 at the date of acquisition and its fair
value had not changed at 31 March 2013. The fair values of the other assets and
liabilities held by Abrigo Ltd at the date of acquisition were equal to their carrying
amounts.
Gumar Ltd intends to recognise the goodwill and non-controlling interest in Abrigo Ltd at
fair value on 1 July 2012 of 35,000.

(2) Gumar Ltd acquired a 30% share in Caleta Ltd for 105,000 a number of years ago. At
the date of acquisition by Gumar Ltd, the fair value of Caleta Ltds assets and liabilities
were the same as their carrying amounts and its retained earnings were 25,600.
During the year ended 31 March 2013 Caleta Ltd made sales of 17,000 to Gumar Ltd.
Caleta Ltd makes a 20% gross profit margin on all its sales. Half of these goods were
still held by Gumar Ltd at 31 March 2013.
Caleta Ltds profit for the year ended 31 March 2013 was 45,200 and its retained
earnings at that date were 63,400.
An impairment loss of 2,000 in respect of Gumar Ltds investment in Caleta Ltd needs
to be recognised for the year ended 31 March 2013.
(3) On 1 April 2012 Gumar Ltd entered into a two year 140,000 fixed priced contract for
the provision of services. The customer is due to pay the full amount of the contract at
the end of the two year period. Costs incurred to date are 30,000, of which 20,000
are recoverable from the customer. The remaining costs to complete the contract
cannot be reliably estimated at 31 March 2013. The only accounting entry made has
been to record the costs incurred.
(4) On 31 March 2013 Gumar Ltd raised 500,000 by selling one of its properties to an
unrelated third party. The property was valued at 700,000 on 31 March 2013 and had
a carrying amount of 350,000 at that date. The contract allows Gumar Ltd to continue
to use the property until 31 March 2016 when it has the right to buy the property back
for 650,000. Gumar Ltd derecognised the property on 31 March 2013 and recorded a
profit on sale of 150,000.
Requirements
(a) (i) Using all the above information, prepare revised assets and liabilities sections
from Gumar Ltds consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March
2013.
(ii) Calculate a revised figure for consolidated profit before tax for Gumar Ltd for the
year ended 31 March 2013. (12 marks)
(b) Explain, with reference to the single entity concept, how trading between a parent entity
and an associated company is treated in the preparation of consolidated financial
statements. (2 marks)

1. Dedlock Ltd is an IT company. Until the current year it operated solely as a service company
providing programming and testing services for its clients. In March 2013 Dedlock Ltd
expanded its operations by manufacturing high-spec laptops, buying in components from
other UK companies.
Richard, the finance director, who is an ICAEW Chartered Accountant, has produced draft
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013. However, the managing director has
some concerns about these financial statements as he knows that Richard is due to retire
shortly and plans to sell his shares in the company. The managing director is concerned that
Richards treatment of certain matters has been influenced by Richards desire to make the
companys financial statements appear more attractive, so that he may get a better price for
his shares.
The managing director has asked Clara, an ICAEW Chartered Accountant sole practitioner,
to redraft these financial statements. Clara has had an initial meeting with Richard, who has
hinted that if she makes as few adjustments to the financial statements as possible, he will
recommend her as his replacement.
The draft financial statements, as prepared by Richard, are set out below.
Draft statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013

ASSETS
Non-current assets
Property, plant and equipment (Notes 1 and 2) 567,800

Total equity and liabilities 967,300

Draft income statement for the year ended 30 June 2013

Revenue 2,876,500
Administrative expenses (579,200)
Other operating costs (185,300)
Income tax (Note 5) (26,000)
The following matters have been identified by the managing director for Claras
consideration:
(1) On 1 July 2012 Dedlock Ltd received a government grant of 10,000 to help finance the
acquisition of a machine, purchased on the same date for 25,000. The machine has
been depreciated on a reducing balance basis using a rate of 20% pa. Richard has
credited the 10,000 grant received to revenue in the income statement. Clara has
discussed this matter with the managing director and they have agreed that
Dedlock Ltds accounting policy for government grants will be to use the deferred
income method. Depreciation on plant and machinery is presented in cost of sales.
(2) On 30 June 2013, the directors decided to sell a machine which had cost Dedlock Ltd
20,000. Richard did not adjust the financial statements to reflect this decision on the
grounds that the machine had not been sold during the year. Accumulated depreciation
on this machine at 30 June 2013 is 8,500. The machine is expected to sell for 8,000
with selling costs of 450 and the directors are confident that a buyer will be found by
the end of December 2013.
(3) In August 2013, when the financial statements were drafted, Richard became aware
that one of Dedlock Ltds customers, Fastolfe Ltd, had gone into liquidation.
Dedlock Ltds trade receivables at 30 June 2013 include 55,700 due from Fastolfe Ltd.
Correspondence from the liquidator indicates that this debt will not be paid. Richard has
not made any allowance against this debt as Fastolfe Ltds financial difficulties had not
been known at the year end. Dedlock Ltds managing director also believes that an
allowance of 2% should be made against all other trade receivables. Dedlock Ltd
presents any expenses in relation to irrecoverable debts or movements on allowances
in other operating costs.
(4) On 1 January 2013 Dedlock Ltd issued 200,000 irredeemable preference shares at par,
included in equity above. These shares have a nominal value of 50p each and carry a
coupon rate of 5% pa. The payment of the dividend is mandatory and if it is unpaid at
the end of a period it becomes cumulative the following period. The dividend due was
paid on 30 June 2013 and is shown in the statement of changes in equity for the year
ended 30 June 2013.
(5) Richard has correctly calculated the income tax liability for the year ended 30 June 2013
at 26,000. However, included in revenue in the income statement is an amount of
3,175, which was the amount of the income tax liability at 30 June 2012 which did not
ultimately need to be paid.

(6) Laptop sales commenced on 1 April 2013. All laptops were sold with a two year
warranty under which Dedlock Ltd will repair or replace the faulty product at no cost to
the customer. At the date that the financial statements were drafted, no laptops had
been returned as faulty and therefore Richard made no provision in respect of the
warranties provided. The managing director estimates that 5% of all laptops will be
returned. Out of all laptops returned, half will be repaired, at an average cost to
Dedlock Ltd of 190 per laptop. The remaining laptops will have to be replaced. From
April to June 2013 Dedlock Ltd sold 1,000 laptops, generating revenue of 600,000 and
making a gross profit of 20%. (Assume that all returns from laptop sales in the year
ended 30 June 2013 are made on 30 June 2014.)
(7) On 15 June 2013 Dedlock Ltd took delivery of a large order of stationery supplies. The
purchase invoice amounted to 5,300, but was not received until July 2013. Richard has
not made any adjustment for this invoice.
Dedlock Ltd uses a discount rate of 7% pa where necessary to reflect the time value of
money in the preparation of the financial statements.
Requirements
(a) Prepare a revised income statement for Dedlock Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2013
and a revised statement of financial position as at that date, in a form suitable for
publication. Notes to the financial statements are not required. (20 marks)
(b) Identify and explain any ethical issues arising for Clara and Richard and any action that
Clara should take. (4 marks)
(c) Identify those elements of the financial statements, as set out in the IASBs Conceptual
Framework, which are relevant to the statement of financial position. Explain how these
are relevant to the treatment of the irredeemable preference shares and the warranty
provision above. (6 marks)

(1) On 1 January 2013 Chuzzlewit plc sold all of its 70% holding in one of its subsidiaries,
Gradgrind Ltd, for a cash sum. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of Gradgrind Ltd was
calculated at 56,000, using the proportionate method, although 10,000 of this amount
had been written off by 30 June 2012. The remaining movement on intangibles relates
to impairment write-offs with respect to goodwill arising on the acquisition of other
subsidiaries. The profit from discontinued operations in the consolidated income
statement above relates wholly to the sale of the shares in Gradgrind Ltd and can be
analysed as follows:

98,500
The net assets of Gradgrind Ltd at the date of disposal were as follows:

Inventories 56,400
388,500
(2) Consolidated trade and other payables include 2,200 (2012: 3,100) of unpaid interest
due on the bank loan.
(3) Depreciation of 351,600 was recognised during the year ended 30 June 2013.
In addition to the property, plant and equipment disposed of through the sale of
Gradgrind Ltd, plant with a carrying amount of 102,000 was sold for cash of 117,000.
(4) On 1 October 2012 Chuzzlewit plc issued 100,000 ordinary shares for cash. This was
followed by a bonus issue on 1 January 2013, utilising the share premium account.
(5) All group companies paid ordinary dividends during the year.
Requirement
Prepare a consolidated statement of cash flows for Chuzzlewit plc for the year ended
30 June 2013, including a note reconciling profit before tax to cash generated from operations,
using the indirect method. A note showing the effects of the disposal of Gradgrind Ltd is not
required. (17 marks)

3. Nickleby plc is a UK listed company. Draft financial statements for the year ended 30 June
2013 have been prepared by the financial controller, but the following outstanding issues
have been identified:
(1) On 1 July 2012 Nickleby plc entered into a non-cancellable lease for a specialised
machine. The machine has a list price of 17,500. Lease payments comprise a total of
20,000, payable by an initial deposit of 4,000 on 1 July 2012, followed by four annual
instalments of 4,000, the first of which was paid on 30 June 2013. The financial
controller debited the total amount paid during the year of 8,000 to cost of sales. The
machine has a useful life of four years, and Nickleby plc is responsible for the
maintenance and insurance of the machine during the lease term. The interest rate
implicit in the agreement is 15% pa.
(2) On 1 January 2013 Nickleby plc borrowed 500,000 at an interest rate of 5% pa, solely
to finance the construction of a new building. Work on the building started on 1 January
2013, and the building is expected to take 12 months to complete. During the six
months to 30 June 2013 interest income of 5,400 was earned on surplus funds
invested. The financial controller credited the interest earned to other income and
debited interest paid to finance costs.
(3) In May 2013 Nickleby plc began to deal with an overseas supplier for the first time. A
purchase order was placed on 1 June 2013, and a delivery of goods was made to
Nickleby plc on 10 June 2013. An invoice was received by Nickleby plc for 101,000 on
10 July 2013. Nickleby plc had sold all the goods by 30 June 2013 but no accounting
entries had been made to recognise the outstanding payment as the invoice was not
received until after the year end.
Spot exchange rates were as follows:
1 June 2013 1: 0.80

10 June 2013 1: 0.82
30 June 2013 1: 0.75
10 July 2013 1: 0.73
(4) Nickleby plc measures all of its assets under the revaluation model and undertakes
regular valuations. On 1 July 2012 an independent professional valuation of all
Nickleby plcs property, plant and equipment was carried out, which has not yet been
incorporated into the financial statements. Depreciation for the year ended 30 June
2013 has not yet been recognised. Depreciation on buildings is presented in
administrative expenses, and depreciation on plant and machinery is presented in cost
of sales. Relevant details are as follows:
Estimated Annual
Carrying remaining depreciation
amount at Fair value at useful life at charge based
1 July 2012 1 July 2012 1 July 2012 on historic
cost

Land 800,000 1,000,000
Buildings 1,906,000 2,500,000 40 years 21,500
Plant and machinery 815,700 450,000 4 years 121,300

The revaluation surplus contains 150,400 in respect of previous revaluations of plant
and machinery. The fall in value of the plant and machinery is due to a consumption of
economic benefits. Nickleby plc makes annual transfers between the revaluation
surplus and retained earnings.
Requirements
(a) Explain the required IFRS financial reporting treatment of the four issues above in the
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013, preparing all relevant calculations
and setting out the required adjustments in the form of journal entries. (26 marks)
(b) Explain any differences between IFRS and UK GAAP in respect of the financial
reporting treatment of all of the above issues. (5 marks)
(31 marks)
NOTES: Ignore the impact of taxation on the above issues.
The preparation of disclosure notes is not required.

(1) Cratchit plc acquired 240,000 shares in Drummle Ltd on 1 July 2012, when the retained
earnings of Drummle Ltd were 108,000. The consideration was made up of 400,000
in cash, paid on 1 July 2012, and 200,000 shares in Cratchit plc which were issued on
1 July 2013. At the date of acquisition, the market value of each Cratchit plc share was
1.20 but this had risen to 1.40 by 30 June 2013. No accounting entries have yet been
made for the shares which were issued on 1 July 2013.

The fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Drummle Ltd at the
date of acquisition by Cratchit plc were equal to their carrying amounts except for a
contingent liability disclosed in the notes to Drummle Ltds financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2012, which had a fair value of 20,000. The fair value of the
contingent liability had not changed by 30 June 2013.
(2) Drummle Ltds statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012 included goodwill of
60,000, which had arisen on the acquisition of the business of a sole trader. At
30 June 2013 the same goodwill was included in Drummle Ltds statement of financial
position at 50,000, due to an impairment of 10,000 having been charged in the
current year.
(3) Cratchit plc acquired 80,000 shares in Gargery Ltd for 150,000 cash on 1 January
2013. Gargery Ltd has made a loss since acquisition of 22,500. The fair values of the
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Gargery Ltd at the date of acquisition by
Cratchit plc were equal to their carrying amounts, with the exception of a machine which
had a fair value 35,000 in excess of its carrying amount. The machine had a remaining
useful life of five years on 1 January 2013. No fair value adjustment has been made in
the books of Gargery Ltd.
(4) No shares have been issued by Drummle Ltd or Gargery Ltd since Cratchit plc acquired
its shares in those companies. All revaluation surpluses arose prior to the formation of
the Cratchit group.
(5) On 31 May 2013 Cratchit plc purchased goods to the value of 60,000 from
Gargery Ltd. Gargery Ltd had charged a 20% mark up on these goods. These goods
were still in Cratchit plcs inventory at the year end.
(6) At 30 June 2013 Cratchit plcs trade receivables included 25,600 due from
Drummle Ltd. Drummle Ltds trade payables included only 18,700 due to Cratchit plc.
The difference was due to cash in transit.
(7) An impairment loss in respect of goodwill arising on the acquisition of Drummle Ltd of
20,000 was identified at 30 June 2013 and needs to be recognised. There has been no
impairment in the carrying amount of Cratchit plcs investment in Gargery Ltd.
Cratchit plc prefers to measure goodwill and the non-controlling interest using the
proportionate method.
Requirements
(a) Prepare a revised consolidated statement of financial position for Cratchit plc as at
30 June 2013. (17 marks)
(b) With reference to the acquisition of Drummle Ltd, and using calculations where
appropriate, explain and justify the two methods of calculating goodwill and the non-
controlling interest allowed by IFRS 3, Business Combinations. You should assume that
the fair value of the non-controlling interest in Drummle Ltd at 1 July 2012 was
100,000. (5 marks)

Cost of sales (422,590)
Operating expenses (312,000)
Operating profit 164,934
Investment income (Note 2) 71,200
Income tax (Note 9) 3,000
(1) Alloa Ltd sold goods on 1 October 2012 for 200,000 with a one year interest-free credit
period and the full amount was included in sales and trade receivables. Alloa Ltd
normally offers credit terms to customers at a rate of 5% pa.

(2) Alloa Ltd launched new software in November 2012. The software is sold via third party
companies with Alloa Ltd receiving royalty payments of 15% on all of these sales.
Monthly reports are provided to Alloa Ltd by the third party sellers 30 days after the end
of each month. Alloa Ltd records royalty income as part of investment income when the
reports are received. Third party reports showed total sales of 48,000 for the month of
September 2013, although no amounts have yet been recorded by Alloa Ltd in respect
of these sales.
(3) Property, plant and equipment is measured under the cost model and is depreciated
using the reducing balance method at a rate of 30% pa. Depreciation should be
presented in cost of sales. The balance in the draft statement of financial position is the
carrying amount at 1 October 2012.
(4) During the year 228,000 was spent on research and development of two new software
products, Uig and Brora. The breakdown of expenditure was:

Research into product development 26,000
Development activities Uig 118,000
Brora 68,500
Pre-launch testing of Uig 9,600
Staff training 5,900
228,000
On 1 October 2012 Uig was considered to be commercially viable. Uig was launched on
1 April 2013 and has been selling well. It is estimated that Uig will have a useful life of
two years at which point technological advances are likely to have been made which will
make the product obsolete. Uigs development costs were incurred between 1 October
2012 and 31 March 2013.
Brora has yet to be launched and requires additional development before it can be
reasonably expected to generate probable future economic benefits.
All expenses relating to intangible assets should be presented in cost of sales.
(5) Alloa Ltd acquired the patents early in 2012, all of which are for two years. No new
patents were acquired during the year ended 30 September 2013. A patent which had
cost 3,000 on 1 May 2012 was sold on 30 April 2013 at its carrying amount. The cash
proceeds were debited to cash and credited to cost of sales.
The balance included in the draft statement of financial position is the carrying amount
at 1 October 2012, which consists of cost of 59,000 and accumulated amortisation of
11,600.
(6) Inventories were valued at 25,500 on 30 September 2013. The balance shown in the
draft statement of financial position is opening inventories at 1 October 2012 as the
year-end inventory valuation had not been finalised when the draft financial statements
were prepared. No adjustments for opening or closing inventories have been included in
the draft figure for cost of sales.

(7) On 1 October 2012 Alloa Ltd issued 50,000 4% 1 preference shares at par. These
shares are redeemable on 30 September 2018 at a premium. The preference dividend
for the year was paid on 30 September 2013 and has been debited to retained
earnings. The effective interest rate is 4.8% pa.
(8) Alloa Ltd entered into a share buyback scheme in June 2013. It reacquired 15,000
1 ordinary shares for 1.75 cash per share. The total cash paid was debited to share
capital and share premium based on this nominal value and premium per share.
(9) The income tax liability for the year ended 30 September 2013 has now been estimated
at 17,000. The amount shown in the draft statement of profit or loss is the balance
remaining on the nominal ledger after paying the liability at 30 September 2012, which
was settled at less than originally estimated.
The finance director has heard about IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, but is
unsure what the standard is really about.
Requirements
(a) Prepare the following for Alloa Ltd, in a form suitable for publication:
(i) a statement of profit or loss for the year ended 30 September 2013;
(ii) a statement of financial position as at 30 September 2013;
(iii) a note to the financial statements showing the movements on intangible assets for
the year ended 30 September 2013. A total column is not required. No other notes
to the financial statements are required. (23 marks)
(b) Explain to the finance director the objectives of IFRS 7. (2 marks)
(c) The IASBs Conceptual Framework refers to the enhancing qualitative characteristics.
Explain how these ensure that financial statements are useful to users. (5 marks)

2. Limerigg plc has a number of subsidiary companies. On 1 December 2012 Limerigg plc sold
its 70% holding in Brightons Ltd for cash of 62,000. There were no other changes in the
composition of the group during the year ended 30 September 2013.
Extracts from the groups consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year ended
30 September 2013 and consolidated statement of financial position as at that date are set
out below together with some additional information.

(1) The reconciliation of profit before tax to cash generated from operations has been
partially completed using the indirect method, giving a draft figure for cash generated
from continuing and discontinued operations of 396,675. This figure has been
calculated making all of the relevant adjustments other than any relating to property,
plant and equipment.
At the date of disposal, Brightons Ltds statement of financial position showed property,
plant and equipment at 76,900, cash and cash equivalents of 2,300 and total net
assets of 77,850.
(2) On 1 February 2013 Limerigg plc made a 1 for 5 bonus issue of ordinary shares,
utilising the share premium account as far as possible. On 31 July 2013 an issue of
ordinary shares for cash at market value was made.
(3) During the year the Limerigg plc group acquired a number of new items of plant and
equipment for cash, made no disposals, other than through the disposal of Brightons
Ltd, and charged depreciation of 101,000. A building was revalued to 325,000 for the
first time on 1 October 2012 and this was the only revaluation to take place in the year.
The building had originally cost 300,000 on 1 October 2007 and is being depreciated
straight-line over its estimated useful life of 30 years. Limerigg plc made an annual
transfer between the revaluation surplus and retained earnings in accordance with best
practice.
(4) Limerigg plc and one subsidiary company paid interim dividends during the year.

Requirement
Prepare extracts from Limerigg plcs consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended
30 September 2013 showing figures under the following headings:
(i) Cash generated from operations

(ii) Cash flows from investing activities
(iii) Cash flows from financing activities
(11 marks)

3. Melloch plc operates in the electronics sector and has investments in a number of
subsidiaries. The financial controller has prepared draft consolidated financial statements for
the year ended 30 September 2013.
Draft consolidated profit attributable to Melloch plcs shareholders for the year ended
30 September 2013 was 978,400.
In order to allow the financial statements to be finalised, information on the following issues
has been provided:
(1) On 1 December 2012 Melloch plc received a 540,000 government grant to contribute
towards research expenditure on a new micro-chip which will be used in the latest
medical technology. The conditions of the grant mean that Melloch plc must use the
grant over the next two years from the date of receipt on this specified area of research,
otherwise the grant will become repayable.
The full grant was recognised as revenue at 30 September 2013 as the directors
believe that the full amount will be spent by the end of the two year period and hence no
amount will need to be repaid. The relevant expenditure will be incurred evenly over the
period.
(2) On 1 April 2013 Melloch plc acquired 80% of the ordinary share capital of Sheardale Ltd
for consideration of 480,000 and associated costs of 8,000. The fair value of
Sheardale Ltds net assets at 1 April 2013 was 575,000. This excluded contractual
rights owned by Sheardale Ltd, as these rights are not capable of being sold separately
from the business and therefore have not been recognised by Sheardale Ltd in its
financial statements. These contractual rights have been valued at 75,000 by an
independent valuer and have an estimated useful life of three years.
Sheardale Ltd uses the proportionate method for measuring the non-controlling interest
and goodwill on acquisition.
Sheardale Ltd made a loss for the year ended 30 September 2013 of 180,000, which
accrued evenly over the year.
The only accounting entries made were to recognise the cash paid, so 488,000 was
debited to investments being the cash consideration plus the costs incurred.
(3) In early September 2013 Melloch plc undertook an impairment review of one of its
research centres as a number of its key projects had been superseded by advances
made by one of Melloch plcs key competitors. Melloch plc is unsure whether the centre
should be sold for development or whether different projects should be moved to the
centre.
The carrying amount of the research centre was 1,400,000 at 30 September 2013 and
its estimated value in use at that date was 1,100,000. The research centre is
measured under the revaluation model and to date 100,000 has been credited to the
revaluation surplus in respect of the centre. Melloch plc received an offer for the land on
which the research centre sits of 1,250,000, for development purposes. Legal costs of
5,000 would be associated with the sale.

(4) During September 2013 Melloch plc sold one of its vehicles to the marketing director.
The vehicle had a carrying amount of 15,000 at the date of sale and the marketing
director paid the full fair value which was estimated at 17,500. The profit on the sale
was reported as part of profit or loss for the period, although the amount remained
unpaid at 30 September 2013.
Melloch plc had 280,000 1 ordinary shares in issue on 1 October 2012. On 1 December
2012 Melloch plc issued 70,000 ordinary shares for cash at market price. On 1 April 2013 a
1 for 5 bonus issue was made.
Requirements
(a) Explain the required IFRS accounting treatment of the four issues above in the
consolidated financial statements of Melloch plc for the year ended 30 September 2013,
preparing all relevant calculations. (17 marks)
(b) Using your results from Part (a) calculate the revised consolidated profit attributable to
Melloch plcs shareholders for the year ended 30 September 2013. (3 marks)
(c) Using your results from Part (b) calculate basic earnings per share for the year ended
30 September 2013. (3 marks)
(d) Describe any differences between IFRS and UK GAAP in respect of the financial
reporting treatment of the four issues above. Supporting calculations are not required.

4. Bainsford plc manufactures wooden flooring and has a number of factories across the UK.
Nia, an ICAEW Chartered Accountant, is the financial controller of Bainsford plc.
The financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2013 have been prepared in draft
by Nias assistant, with the help of the finance director, whilst Nia was away on a training
course. Draft profit before tax is 497,300, draft current assets are 275,850 and draft current
liabilities are 141,700.
After a number of discussions with various departments Nia discovered the following
(1) A temporary supervisor was appointed at Bainsford plcs Airth factory which has led to a
number of issues over the year-end inventory valuation.
Raw materials
The temporary supervisor used average cost to value the 1,200m2 of hardwood held in
the warehouse at 30 September 2013 although the first-in first-out basis should have
been used to value this inventory.
Invoices show hardwood acquired during the year as follows:
Date Quantity (m2) Price (per m2)

10 October 2012 5,000 74
6 January 2013 6,000 65
15 June 2013 4,000 80
Finished goods
7,500m2 of Grade A flooring held at 30 September 2013 was included in year-end
inventory using a fixed production costs absorption rate of 1.50 per m2. The 1.50 was
calculated based on the following information:

Maintenance of factory 0.40
Salaries of factory personnel 0.50
Depreciation of manufacturing equipment 0.20
Storage costs of the finished goods 0.25
Advertising costs 0.15
1.50
(2) Bainsford plc is having a new manufacturing plant built. On 1 January 2013 to finance
the construction, Bainsford plc sold its current manufacturing facility for 1,150,000
when it had a carrying amount of 900,000 and an estimated fair value of 775,000.
However, while construction takes place, Bainsford plc is continuing to use its existing
facility under a one year lease, paying above market value rentals. The manufacturing
facility was removed from non-current assets and a profit of 250,000 was recognised
(being proceeds less carrying amount). The lease payments were correctly accounted
for.
Nia is worried that there might be some inappropriate accounting taking place as she has
heard rumours that Bainsford plc is looking for new finance through a public listing and
therefore the directors are keen to report an exceptional trading year. Nia also has some
information and she is not sure what she should do with it.

She was out with friends when she heard one of them, Sam, talking about his employer, a
listed competitor company to Bainsford plc. The competitor company is likely to fall short of
its earnings target for the current year.
Requirements
(a) (i) Calculate revised figures from Bainsford plcs statement of financial position as at
30 September 2013 for current assets and current liabilities.
(ii) Calculate revised profit before tax for Bainsford plc for the year ended
30 September 2013.
(9 marks)
(b) Discuss the ethical issues arising from the scenario, explaining any action Nia should
take. (5 marks)

5. At 1 October 2012 Cambus plc had investments in two companies: a 65% holding in
Ochill Ltd and a 40% holding in Izat Ltd, which is a joint venture.
On 1 April 2013 Cambus plc purchased 80% of the ordinary shares of Kennet Ltd, which had
retained earnings of 82,500 at this date. Cambus plc measures all non-controlling interest
and goodwill on acquisition using the proportionate method.

(1) Cambus plc acquired its holding in Ochill Ltd on 1 October 2007 when Ochill Ltds
retained earnings were 153,700. The fair values of all Ochill Ltds assets and liabilities
at the date of acquisition were the same as their carrying amounts, with the exception of
a freehold property which was estimated to have a fair value of 100,000 in excess of
its carrying amount. This property was assessed as having a remaining useful life of
25 years at 1 October 2007. Depreciation of freehold property is presented in operating
expenses.
(2) Cambus plc acquired its holding in Izat Ltd a number of years ago for 180,000 when

(5) Cambus plc and Ochill Ltd paid dividends of 50p and 25p per share respectively during
the year ended 30 September 2013.

(1) Tipperary plc measures its property, plant and equipment under the revaluation model.
On 1 January 2013 the companys land and buildings were valued at 450,000 (land
100,000) and its plant and equipment at 85,000. This valuation has not been reflected
in the trial balance above.
On 1 January 2013 the remaining useful lives of the buildings and plant and equipment
were reassessed at 20 years and four years respectively. Depreciation on buildings
should be presented in administrative expenses and depreciation on plant and
equipment should be presented in cost of sales. Other than the equipment referred to in
Note (2) below, there were no additions to or disposals of property, plant and equipment
in the year ended 31 December 2013. The revaluation surplus at 31 December 2012
included 200,000 in respect of land and buildings, with the remainder attributable to
plant and equipment.
Tipperary plc has a policy of making an annual transfer between the revaluation surplus
and retained earnings wherever possible. Depreciation charges for the year ended
31 December 2013 on a historical cost basis would have been 15,000 for plant and
equipment and 10,000 for buildings.
(2) On 1 January 2013 Tipperary plc acquired new equipment for 30,000, which is
included in the 175,000 in the trial balance and in the valuation of 85,000 in Note (1)
above. A government grant of 18,000 was received to help finance the purchase of this
equipment as part of the governments drive to encourage investment in new
technology, and was credited to sales. Tipperary plc has an accounting policy of using
the deferred income approach.

(3) The redeemable preference shares were issued on 1 January 2013, and the coupon
and effective interest rates are both 5%.
On 15 February 2013 Tipperary plc declared an ordinary dividend of 10p per share in
respect of the year ended 31 December 2012. This was paid one month later and
debited to administrative expenses.
On 30 June 2013 Tipperary plc made a 1 for 4 rights issue of ordinary shares at a price
of 1.20 per share. The rights issue was fully taken up. The nominal value received was
credited to ordinary share capital, but the premium was credited to sales.
No ordinary or preference dividends have been paid or accrued in respect of the current
year.
(4) Inventories at 31 December 2013 have been valued at 192,300. During the inventory
valuation it was discovered that inventories at 31 December 2012 had, in error, been
overvalued by 100,000.
(5) On 15 November 2013 Tipperary plc purchased some inventories from an overseas
supplier for 115,000, correctly recording the transaction at that date, but making no
further adjustments. The invoice was unpaid at 31 December 2013. The spot exchange
rates are as follows:
15 November 2013 1:0.90

31 December 2013 1:0.85
(6) The income tax liability for the current year has been estimated at 10,500.
Requirements
(a) Prepare the following for the financial statements of Tipperary plc for the year ended
31 December 2013, in a form suitable for publication:
(i) a statement of profit or loss

(ii) a statement of financial position
(iii) a statement of changes in equity (a total column is not required). (22 marks)

(b) Describe the alternative treatment of the government grant set out in Note (2) above,
comparing this to the treatment adopted by Tipperary plc, and quantifying the effect on
the financial statements of Tipperary plc for the year ended 31 December 2013.
(4 marks)
(c) According to the IASB Conceptual Framework, users require information regarding
financial position, financial performance and changes in financial position.
Explain how the information contained in financial statements in respect of property,

plant and equipment meets those information needs. (5 marks)
(31 marks)

2. You are an ICAEW Chartered Accountant employed as the financial controller at
Limerick plc, a UK listed company. You have recently returned from maternity leave to find
that the finance director (another ICAEW Chartered Accountant) has resigned and left the
company, following his concerns over accounting practices he was being asked to
implement. In your absence, the managing director, who is not a qualified accountant, has
drafted financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013. The managing director
summoned you to his office and explained the situation to you:
As you know, Limerick plc has been in difficulties for some time and after disappointing
results for the year ended 31 December 2012, the board of directors is keen to report as high
a profit as possible for the year ended 31 December 2013. In particular, I want to show the
board that the companys basic earnings per share has improved significantly on last years
figure of 70.3p.
Whilst you were away I have drafted the financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2013 and need you to confirm that they are suitable for publication. Can you
also check that I have correctly calculated basic earnings per share at 500.5p? I based this
on earnings of 500,500 and the 100,000 1 ordinary shares in issue on 1 January 2013. If
you can confirm my figures you could be our next finance director.
On examining the draft financial statements prepared by the managing director, you identify
the following matters of concern:
(1) On 1 January 2013 Limerick plc entered into a 40 year lease for land and buildings.
Ownership of both the land and the buildings passes to Limerick plc at the end of the
lease term. The lease payments are 120,000 pa, paid annually in advance. The
managing director has treated the entire lease as an operating lease on the grounds
that the land has an indefinite economic life and so Limerick plc is not leasing the land
over the majority of its economic life. The buildings have an estimated useful life of 42
years. Limerick plc depreciates buildings on a straight-line basis.
Having made further enquiries you have established that the fair value of the leasehold
interest is 1.3 million, of which 110,000 relates to land. The interest rate implicit in the
lease is 10% pa. The present value of the minimum lease payments in relation to the
buildings is 1,183,265, and in relation to the land is 107,570.
(2) On 1 January 2013 Limerick plc had purchased a recycling plant for 260,000, in order
to process hazardous waste generated as a by-product of its other operations. The
plant has an estimated useful life of five years after which it is expected to be
superseded by new technology. The plant was capitalised at 260,000 and the
managing director has correctly calculated depreciation based on that figure. However,
he has not made any accounting entries in respect of the cost of decommissioning the
plant at the end of the five year period of operation, which was a condition of the
purchase, and which you have established is expected to cost 50,000.
(3) Limerick plcs building division buys land, and builds and fits out retail outlets which are
then sold. On 1 January 2013 this division sold a plot of building land to an unconnected
company for 750,000 when the market value of the land was 1 million. The plot had
originally been acquired for 500,000. Limerick plc retains the right to build on this land
until 31 December 2014 when it has the right to buy the plot back for 858,675. The
managing director has recognised the profit on the sale of the land in the statement of
profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2013. You have seen emails between the
directors of Limerick plc indicating that the company is likely to repurchase the land.

(4) The managing director included a note to the financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2013 regarding a contingent liability relating to a court case against
Limerick plc which was in progress at the year end. On 15 February 2014 the judge in
the case ruled against Limerick plc and the company was ordered to pay damages of
100,000 to the claimants and legal costs of 25,000. The managing director has not
accrued for this amount in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2013 on the grounds that the judgment was not made until after the year end.
On 1 July 2013 Limerick plc made a 1 for 4 bonus issue of ordinary shares, and on
1 October 2013 issued a further 80,000 ordinary shares at full market price.
Requirements
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, preparing all relevant
calculations. Unless stated otherwise, an applicable discount rate is 7% pa. (18 marks)
(b) Using your results from Part (a) calculate revised earnings and basic earnings per share
for the year ended 31 December 2013. Your answer should include an explanation of
why the managing director was incorrect to base his calculation on the number of
ordinary shares in issue at the beginning of the year. (6 marks)
(c) Discuss the ethical issues arising from the scenario and the steps that you should take
to address them. (5 marks)
(29 marks)

3. Laois plc has investments in two companies, Carlow Ltd and Kerry Ltd and recognises

1,560,000 on 1 January 2009 when the retained earnings of Carlow Ltd were
592,000. The fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Carlow Ltd
at this date were equal to their carrying amounts, with the exception of a property which
had a fair value 200,000 in excess of its carrying amount. The property had a
remaining useful life of 25 years on the date that Laois plc acquired its shares in
Carlow Ltd. The fair value of the non-controlling interest in Carlow Ltd on 1 January
2009 was 350,000.

(2) On 1 January 2013, Laois plc acquired 60% of the 360,000 ordinary shares of Kerry Ltd.
The consideration consisted of cash of 200,000 paid on 1 January 2013 and a further
cash payment of 104,000, deferred until 1 January 2014. An appropriate discount rate
is 4% pa.
On 1 January 2013 Kerry Ltds retained earnings were 240,000 and its statement of
financial position included goodwill of 30,000 which had arisen on the acquisition of a
sole trader. In the year ended 31 December 2013 an impairment of 6,000 was
recognised by Kerry Ltd in relation to this goodwill.
The fair values of the other assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities were equal to their
carrying amounts. The fair value of the non-controlling interest in Kerry Ltd on 1 January
2013 was 235,000. A reassessment of Kerry Ltds assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities and consideration transferred took place following acquisition and no
adjustments were necessary.
(3) Early in December 2013 Kerry Ltd recorded goods purchased from Carlow Ltd for
50,000. At the year end Kerry Ltd held half of these goods in its inventories. Carlow Ltd
makes all sales at cost plus a mark-up of 25%.
In addition, on 30 December 2013 Carlow Ltd had dispatched goods to Kerry Ltd and
raised the relevant sales invoice. These goods were not received by Kerry Ltd until
3 January 2014 and the related purchase invoice was not accrued for as at the year
end. These goods in transit had originally been purchased by Carlow Ltd at a cost of
12,000.
No intra-group balances had been settled by the year end.

4. Kildare plc is a UK listed company, and has a number of investments in other companies.
The following information has been extracted from Kildare plcs draft consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2013:
Consolidated statement of profit or loss (extract)

Profit attributable to
Owners of Kildare plc 865,800
Consolidated statement of financial position (extract)

Non-current assets
Property, plant and equipment 2,752,100
Intangibles 356,000
Consolidated statement of cash flows (extract)

Net cash used in investing activities (50,600)
Kildare plcs draft retained earnings (single entity) were 109,700 at 31 December 2013.
The following matters have not yet been accounted for in the draft consolidated financial
statements:
(1) On 1 January 2007 Kildare plc had acquired 70% of the 100,000 ordinary 50p shares of
Sligo Ltd for 225,000 when the retained earnings of Sligo Ltd were 158,900. The fair
values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Sligo Ltd at this date were
equal to their carrying amounts, with the exception of inventory, which had a carrying
amount of 29,000 but a fair value of 35,000. The inventory was sold in July 2007.
On 30 June 2013 Kildare plc sold its holding in Sligo Ltd for cash of 300,000, when
Sligo Ltd had cash and cash equivalents of 1,500, crediting the sale proceeds to a
suspense account. On 31 December 2013 the retained earnings of Sligo Ltd were
275,000, including a profit for 2013 of 75,000, which had accrued evenly over the
year. As at 31 December 2012 Kildare plc had recognised cumulative impairment
losses of 40,000 in respect of goodwill acquired in the business combination with
Sligo Ltd.
Kildare plc has not consolidated any amounts in respect of Sligo Ltd for the year ended
31 December 2013. The group accounting policy is to recognise goodwill and non-
controlling interest using the proportionate method.
(2) On 1 January 2012 Kildare plc had entered into a joint venture, purchasing 40% of the
200,000 ordinary 1 shares of Mayo Ltd at par. In the year ended 31 December 2013
Mayo Ltd made a profit of 48,400 (2012 52,800) and made sales of 120,000 to
Kildare plc, at a gross profit margin of 25%. Kildare plc held half of these goods in its
inventory at 31 December 2013. On 31 December 2013 Kildare plc received a dividend
of 10,000 from Mayo Ltd. The dividend was credited to a suspense account.

(3) During the year ended 31 December 2013, Kildare plc spent 275,000 on the research
and development of a new product that is believed to be commercially viable, although it
is still currently in its development stage. The 275,000 can be broken down as follows:

Initial research costs 50,000
Evaluation of research findings 20,000
Patent registration costs 5,000
Specialised equipment needed for the development process 90,000
Qualifying development costs 110,000
275,000
Kildare plc has debited these amounts to a suspense account. The useful life of the
specialised equipment is estimated to be three years. The equipment is to be
depreciated on a straight-line basis over that period starting on 1 July 2013, when the
equipment was first used in the development process.
Requirements

1. The following list of balances has been extracted from the nominal ledger of Barchetta Ltd at
31 March 2014.
Note(s)
Sales 4,521,000
Purchases 3,379,100
Finance costs 83,060
Plant and machinery (1), (2)
Cost 60,500
Land and buildings (1), (3)
Cost (land 250,000) 2,230,000
Retained earnings at 31 March 2013 321,370
Ordinary share capital (1 shares) (5) 400,000
Share premium account at 31 March 2013 75,000
Bank loan (repayable 31 March 2016) 1,100,000
Cash at bank 6,800
(1) Property, plant and equipment is measured under the cost model and depreciation is
charged on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 50 years
Plant and machinery 5 years (unless otherwise specified)
Following a review of useful lives, plant acquired on 1 April 2012 for 22,000 was
estimated to have a remaining useful life of eight years at 1 April 2013. Depreciation on
property, plant and equipment should be presented in cost of sales.
(2) On 1 April 2013 a machine was acquired on a six-year lease, being its estimated useful
life. Six annual amounts of 3,210 are payable, commencing on 31 March 2014. The
machine could have been purchased on 1 April 2013 for 15,300, equivalent at that
date to the present value of the minimum lease payments. By 31 March 2014 the only
accounting entry made had been to credit cash with 3,210 and recognise an equal
expense in cost of sales. The interest rate implicit in the lease is 7%.
(3) On 1 April 2013 Barchetta Ltd began construction on its new head office building, which
was assessed as being a qualifying asset. Barchetta Ltd already had significant
borrowings in place at 1 April 2013 which funded the construction. 300,000 was paid in
advance to the contractor on 1 April 2013 and a second payment of 400,000 was paid
on 1 January 2014. Barchetta Ltd had the following bank loans at 31 March 2013:
600,000 at an interest rate of 6.4% pa
500,000 at an interest rate of 7.5% pa
Accounting entries made were to recognise payments to the contractor as part of
buildings costs and to charge interest on the loans to finance costs. Construction of the
head office building was completed on 31 May 2014.

(4) Inventories at 31 March 2014 have been valued at cost of 35,850. However, in April
2014 a review was carried out to assess customer demand. The review identified that
sales of one inventory line, the Camry, were extremely low because a competitor
product had been launched in February 2014 and had been selling very well at a lower
price than the Camry.
At 31 March 2014 Barchetta Ltd had 200 units of the Camry in its inventory. The unit
cost of the Camry was 315 and its sales price was 550. Barchetta Ltd incurs selling
costs of 25 per unit. It is now thought that the Camry will need to be considerably
discounted and that a realistic selling price is 320 with the same selling costs.
(5) On 1 January 2014 Barchetta Ltd made a 1 for 5 bonus issue of ordinary shares. No
accounting entries have been made to reflect this bonus issue. The share premium
account should be utilised for such issues wherever possible.
(6) The income tax liability for the current year has been estimated at 84,500.
Requirement
Prepare the statement of profit or loss for Barchetta Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2014
and a statement of financial position as at that date, in a form suitable for publication.
Total: 20 marks


2. Impreza plc is a UK company operating in the automotive industry. The financial statements
for the year ended 31 March 2014 have been drafted by your assistant, although there are a
number of outstanding issues which need finalising. Extracts from the draft financial
statements are:

Equity 6,547,000
Liabilities (current and non-current) 2,986,000
The finance director wishes to review the completed draft financial statements and has asked
you, as financial controller, for assistance with the following outstanding issues:
(1) On 1 June 2013 Impreza plc issued 450,000 5% 1 irredeemable preference shares at
par. When the cash was received the issue proceeds were credited to equity. No
dividend had been paid on the preference shares by 31 March 2014 and no entries had
been made in the accounting records in respect of dividends. The full annual dividend
for the year was subsequently paid on 31 May 2014. It transpires that the dividend
payment on the irredeemable preference shares is mandatory and if it is not paid it
becomes cumulative.
(2) During the year Impreza plc spent 3,570,000 developing a new automotive control
system. The full amount has been recognised as part of non-current assets as it is
thought that the new technology will sell well and that, at present, Impreza plc has a
competitive advantage in the market due to this new technology.
The first 350,000 of this expenditure was incurred investigating alternative processes
and designs. The next 700,000 was used on early development of the control system.
On 1 August 2013 the development was considered to be at a stage where funding was
secured for its completion and it was assessed as being commercially viable.
The remaining expenditure was incurred between 1 August 2013 and the date when the
new control system was ready for sale, being 31 March 2014. On 1 February 2014 an
advertising campaign was launched to market the control system and customers could
place advance orders from that date. 200,000 was spent on launch activities and is
included in the total development expenditure above. By 31 March 2014 320,000 of
cash deposits had been received as advance orders from customers and the cash
receipts have been recognised as part of revenue for the year ended 31 March 2014.
(3) Impreza plc has a number of supplier contracts. One supplier, Murano Ltd, attracted
some adverse publicity. Impreza plc therefore decided to terminate its contract with
Murano Ltd on 1 March 2014 when the contract still had 18 months to run. The contract
has a termination clause which states that a one-off payment of 20,000 is payable to
Murano Ltd if more than six months of the contract term remains on termination. No
additional amounts had been paid to Murano Ltd under the contract by the year end.
(4) During the year ended 31 March 2014 Impreza plc sold parts to a customer, Samuri Ltd,
for 50,000, after giving Samuri Ltd a 20% discount. Impreza plc gives discounts to
many customers varying between 5% and 25%. Rio Yukon is the managing director of
Impreza plc and his daughter Aerio owns 80% of the ordinary share capital of Samuri
Ltd. At 31 March 2014 30,000 was outstanding from Samuri Ltd as part of trade
receivables.

(5) On 1 October 2013 Impreza plc sold 500 units of a combined software module and a
two year technical support package to a new customer for 440,000. This sum was
recognised as revenue because the cash had been received before the year end. The
normal selling price of a module is 1,000 and the two year technical support package
is sold for 10% of the modules unit selling price.
Requirements
(a) Explain the required IFRS financial reporting treatment of the five issues above in the
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014, preparing all relevant
calculations. (24 marks)
(b) Calculate revised figures for Impreza plcs profit before tax, equity and liabilities for
inclusion in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014. (6 marks)
(c) Explain how the requirements of IAS 18, Revenue, apply the accrual basis and the
IASBs Conceptual Frameworks recognition criteria. (4 marks)
Total: 34 marks

3. The following information has been extracted from Vitara plcs draft consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2014.
Consolidated statement of profit or loss (extracts)

Depreciation charge 127,200
Profit after tax 496,500
Consolidated statement of financial position (extracts)

Property, plant and equipment 1,156,300
Total assets 1,673,500
Consolidated statement of cash flows (extract)

Net cash from investing activities 316,700
The draft consolidated financial statements of Vitara plc were incomplete due to the following
outstanding issues:
(1) On 1 April 2013 Vitara plc stopped using equipment which had a carrying amount of
20,000 at that date and the equipment was advertised for sale. The equipment had
originally cost 56,000 and had a useful life of seven years. The fair value of the
equipment was estimated at 17,000 on 1 April 2013 and costs to sell were estimated at
500. The equipment is included in the property, plant and equipment figure above and
depreciation was charged at the year end as the equipment had not been sold at this
time.
(2) On 1 January 2014 a piece of plant was no longer used by Vitara plc due to
obsolescence. The plant had been acquired on 1 April 2006 for 15,000 and was being
depreciated at 10% pa on a straight-line basis. The plant is included in the property,
plant and equipment figure above and a full years depreciation was charged at the year
end.
(3) Property, plant and equipment had been acquired during the year and was correctly
included in the property, plant and equipment figure above. The amount included in the
statement of cash flows was 280,000 being the increase in property, plant and
equipment during the period (ie the carrying amount at 31 March 2014 less the carrying
amount at 31 March 2013). There have been no disposals of property, plant and
equipment during the period. All additions were acquired for cash except for the
following:
Early in 2014 Vitara plc acquired a subsidiary which had property, plant and
equipment with a carrying amount of 151,200 at the date of its acquisition by
Vitara plc. There was no difference between the carrying amount and fair value of
these assets.
On 1 April 2013 Vitara plc acquired a piece of plant with a fair value of 72,000 on
two years interest free credit. The plant was correctly included in the property,
plant and equipment figure above and the correct finance cost was recognised in
the statement of profit or loss.

(4) On 1 April 2013 equipment with a carrying amount of 24,500 was damaged in one of
Vitara plcs warehouses, although the equipment is still being used and had an
estimated value in use of 18,000 at that date. The equipments fair value at 1 April
2013 was estimated at 18,500 with costs to sell of 800. At 1 April 2013 the equipment
had an estimated remaining useful life of three years. No accounting entries have been
made for the year ended 31 March 2014 in respect of this equipment.
(5) On 1 October 2013 Vitara plc purchased 90% of the ordinary share capital of Tredia Ltd.
Extracts from the draft consolidated statement of profit or loss, excluding the acquisition
of Tredia Ltd, for the year ended 31 March 2014 and the individual statement of profit or
loss of Tredia Ltd for the same period are shown below:

4. Altima plc has investments in three companies, Fuego Ltd, Previa Ltd and Tacoma Ltd. A
draft consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2014 has been prepared by
an interim manager, an ICAEW Chartered Accountant, who has little recent experience of
consolidation.
Goodwill was not calculated for any acquisitions and Investments consists of the purchase
consideration for all three acquisitions. Figures for Tacoma Ltd were not available at the date
the interim manager prepared the financial statements, therefore Tacoma Ltd was excluded
from the draft consolidation (Fuego Ltds figures were included). The only figure included for
Previa Ltd in the draft consolidation is the acquisition cost.
Ciera Durango, the financial controller, who is also an ICAEW Chartered Accountant, is
concerned that impairments in relation to all three investments have been identified. Ciera
was involved in the investment decisions and is worried about the impact that showing these
impairments might have on her current position at Altima plc.
An extract from the draft consolidated statement of financial position as prepared by the
interim manager is shown below, together with the individual statement of financial position of
Tacoma Ltd:

following exceptions:
(i) Previa Ltd had an item of plant which had a fair value 30,000 in excess of its
carrying amount. The plant had a remaining useful life of six years at 1 July 2011,
the date that Altima plc acquired its shares in Previa Ltd.
(ii) Fuego Ltd has internally generated brands which were not recognised in Fuego
Ltds own financial statements and the interim manager did not include them in the
draft consolidated financial statements. An independent expert valued the brands at
150,000, with a useful life of five years, at 1 April 2010, the date of acquisition of
Fuego Ltd by Altima plc.
(5) During the year ended 31 March 2014 Altima plc sold goods to Previa Ltd for 24,000
with a gross profit margin of 15%. At the year end Previa Ltd still held these goods in its

1. Trakehner Ltd operates a chain of garden centres in the UK. Jamie, the financial controller of
Trakehner Ltd, has prepared draft financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014.
These draft financial statements are set out below, along with some outstanding issues.
Draft statement of profit or loss for the year ended 30 June 2014

Revenue 3,879,600
Gross profit 1,864,300
Administrative expenses (Note 3) (987,600)
Distribution costs (398,400)
Investment income (Note 1) 3,000
Income tax (Note 5) (120,000)
Draft statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014

ASSETS

Property, plant and equipment (Notes 1 and 2) 1,982,500
Current assets
Inventories 453,700
709,700

Equity
5% Preference share capital (Note 4) 200,000
1,996,600
Loan (Note 1) 250,000
Current liabilities
445,600
Total equity and liabilities 2,692,200

The following matters are outstanding:
(1) On 1 October 2013 construction commenced on a new garden centre. On that date
Trakehner Ltd took out a loan of 250,000 specifically to finance this project.
Construction costs to date of 176,000 have been included in property, plant and
equipment. The interest rate on the loan is 4% pa, payable on 1 July annually, and the
loan is repayable on 30 September 2015. The only accounting entries made in respect
of the loan were to recognise its receipt. Interest received on the temporary investment
of surplus funds was 3,000, which Jamie recognised as investment income.
Construction of the garden centre was still in progress at 30 June 2014.
(2) Depreciation on property, plant and equipment has not yet been charged as Jamie was
unsure how to treat the construction costs above. The carrying amount of 1,982,500 in
the draft statement of financial position can be analysed as follows:

New garden centre construction costs (Note 1) 176,000
Land 600,000
Other buildings (cost 950,000) 779,600
Plant and equipment 426,900
1,982,500
Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 50 years, with the charge being
included in administrative expenses. Plant and equipment is depreciated on a reducing
balance basis using a rate of 25%, with the charge being included in cost of sales.
(3) On 1 January 2014 Trakehner Ltd made a 1 for 4 bonus issue of ordinary shares. No
accounting entries have been made for these shares, although the correct number of
shares was issued. The intention was to use the share premium account as far as
possible.
An interim ordinary dividend of 10p per share, based on the correct number of shares in
issue, was paid on 15 February 2014 and posted to administrative expenses.
(4) On 1 July 2013 Trakehner Ltd issued 200,000 5% redeemable preference shares at
their par value of 1 per share. These shares are redeemable on 30 September 2018 at
a premium. The preference dividend is paid annually in arrears on 1 July and no accrual
has been made for this dividend. The effective interest rate of the preference shares is
5.6% pa.
(5) Income tax of 120,000 in the draft statement of profit or loss is the amount that Jamie
has appropriately estimated will be payable for the current year. The figure of 143,000
in the draft statement of financial position includes the over provision of income tax of
23,000 from the year ended 30 June 2013.
(6) Adjustment needs to be made at 30 June 2014 for prepaid distribution costs of 10,500
and accrued administrative expenses of 12,600.

Requirements
(a) Prepare a revised statement of profit or loss for Trakehner Ltd for the year ended
30 June 2014 and a revised statement of financial position as at that date, in a form
suitable for publication. Notes to the financial statements are not required. (22 marks)
(b) Explain the nature and required IFRS financial reporting treatment of redeemable
preference shares. (3 marks)
(c) Describe the differences between IFRS and UK GAAP in respect of the treatment of
borrowing costs. (2 marks)

2. Ryan, an ICAEW Chartered Accountant, is the finance director of Holstein Ltd and also owns
20% of the companys ordinary shares. Ryan has just finished preparing the draft financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2014, which show a profit before tax of 135,400,
total assets of 1,456,000 and total liabilities of 874,300. You are the financial controller of
Holstein Ltd, and a recently qualified ICAEW Chartered Accountant.
You are aware that the financial statements will come under close scrutiny by Holstein Ltds
bank, as it will be looking to ensure that the conditions of a loan covenant are still met. This
covenant requires Holstein Ltd to maintain total assets at a minimum of 150% of total
liabilities. If this condition is not met the bank is likely to call in its loan and the companys
future would be in jeopardy.
Whilst assisting Ryan with the drafting of the financial statements you discovered the
following matters of concern:
(1) Holstein Ltds stated accounting policy has been to depreciate all general machines on
a straight-line basis over four years. However, during the current year, the board of
directors decided that, with effect from 1 July 2013, all general machines should be
depreciated using a reducing balance basis at a rate of 25%, as this better reflects their
economic usage.
Ryan has restated the opening balance of general machines and retained earnings as if
the new policy had always been in existence, on the grounds that this is a change of
accounting policy in accordance with IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in
Accounting Estimates and Errors. As a result, Ryan increased the carrying amount of
property, plant and equipment and retained earnings at 1 July 2013 by 352,100. Ryan
then charged depreciation at 25% on the revised carrying amount of property, plant and
equipment.
(2) On 1 December 2013 Holstein Ltd received a government grant of 200,000,

representing 50% of the cost of a specialised asset that was acquired on 1 October
2013. The asset has a four-year life with no residual value and has been correctly
depreciated in the draft financial statements on a straight-line basis. Holstein Ltds
stated accounting policy is to account for government grants using the netting-off
method. Ryan has shown the full grant of 200,000 within other income in the draft
financial statements as he does not expect the grant to be repaid and the asset has
already been paid for.
(3) On 1 July 2013 Holstein Ltd signed a four-year lease for a machine with a fair value of
350,000. The lessor remains responsible for maintenance and insurance of the
machine. Ryan negotiated a payment holiday so an annual payment of 60,000 is due
on 1 July 2014, 2015 and 2016. Because no payment was made in the year ended
30 June 2014 Ryan has not included any amounts in respect of this lease in the draft
financial statements.
(4) A machine which became surplus to requirements in May 2014 was sold for 170,000
on 15 August 2014, incurring selling expenses of 11,600. On 1 August 2014 Holstein
Ltd incurred reconditioning expenses of 63,500. These expenses were required to
bring the machine into a saleable and usable condition but Holstein Ltd had had to wait
for a suitable specialist to be available to carry out this work.

The board of directors had agreed to sell the machine on 1 June 2014 and had duly
advertised it at a price of 300,000. In view of this on 30 June 2014 Ryan revalued the
machine from its carrying amount of 155,000 on 30 June 2014 to its advertised selling
price, posting the difference to the revaluation surplus, disregarding Holstein Ltds
published accounting policy which is to use the cost model.
When you queried this with Ryan he quoted the requirement of IFRS 5, Non-current
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations to revalue an asset to its fair value
immediately before classification as held for sale. The asset is shown in the draft
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014 as an asset held for sale at 300,000.
Ryan intends to account for the actual disposal in the financial statements for the year
ended 30 June 2015.
You have discussed these matters with Ryan, who does not accept that any adjustments are
needed to the financial statements.

(1) On 1 January 2014 Appaloosa plc sold all of its 70% holding in Connemara Ltds
100,000 1 ordinary shares, for cash of 590,000. Appaloosa plc had paid 350,000 for
the shares in Connemara Ltd when the retained earnings of Connemara Ltd were
226,000. Goodwill was calculated using the proportionate method, although 50,000 of
this amount had been written off by 30 June 2013. The profit from discontinued
operations in the consolidated statement of profit or loss above relates wholly to the
sale of the shares in Connemara Ltd and includes an income tax expense of 19,600.
The net assets of Connemara Ltd at the date of disposal were as follows:

734,200
(2) All finance costs in the consolidated statement of profit or loss relate to finance leases.
In the year ended 30 June 2014 Appaloosa plc entered into finance leases for assets
with a cash price of 550,000.
(3) Non-current assets comprise property, plant and equipment and goodwill which had
arisen on business combinations. The only movement on goodwill during the year
ended 30 June 2014 was with regard to Connemara Ltd. Depreciation of 561,500 was
recognised during the year ended 30 June 2014. No property, plant and equipment was
disposed of during the year other than through the disposal of Connemara Ltd.
(4) The consolidated statement of changes in equity shows the following:
ordinary dividends were paid during the year to both the shareholders of
Appaloosa plc and to the non-controlling interest;
there was a revaluation of property, plant and equipment;
Appaloosa plc made an issue of ordinary shares.
Requirements
(a) Calculate the profit on disposal of Connemara Ltd. (2 marks)
(b) Prepare a consolidated statement of cash flows for Appaloosa plc for the year ended
30 June 2014, including a note reconciling profit before tax to cash generated from
operations, using the indirect method. A note showing the effects of the disposal of
Connemara Ltd is not required. (14 marks)
(c) The IASBs Conceptual Framework identifies a wide range of users who use financial
statements to make economic decisions. Identify five possible user groups and, for
each user group, list the type(s) of decisions they regularly make from information
contained within the financial statements. (5 marks)

4. On 1 July 2013 Oldenburg plc had one subsidiary company, Zangersheide Ltd, and one
associated company, Hanoverian Ltd, holding 90% and 30% respectively of their ordinary
shares.
On 1 October 2013 Oldenburg plc acquired 80% of the ordinary shares of Westphalian Ltd.
Initial calculations showed that a gain on bargain purchase (negative goodwill) of 35,000
arose on the acquisition. In accordance with best practice, a reassessment of Westphalian
Ltds assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and consideration transferred took place
following acquisition and the following discoveries were made:
The consideration transferred used in the goodwill calculation was 500,000, which
included professional fees of 8,000 relating to the acquisition.
A building which had been purchased by Westphalian Ltd for 300,000 on 1 October
1999 was assessed as having a fair value on the date of Westphalian Ltds acquisition
by Oldenburg plc of 154,000. This fair value had not been reflected in the goodwill
calculation. The building has always had a total estimated useful life of 25 years.
Depreciation on buildings is presented in operating expenses.
Westphalian Ltds financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013 included a
disclosure note showing a contingent liability of 42,000. This contingent liability had a
fair value of 36,500 on 1 October 2013. This fair value was unchanged at 30 June
2014. No allowance was made for this contingent liability in the goodwill calculation.
Oldenburg plc had decided to use the fair value method to measure goodwill and the
non-controlling interest for Westphalian Ltd. However, the original calculation had
incorrectly used the proportionate method. The fair value of the non-controlling interest
at 1 October 2013 was 140,000.
Extracts from the individual statements of profit or loss of the four companies for the year
ended 30 June 2014 are set out below:

(1) During the current year Oldenburg plc purchased goods to the value of 286,800 and
101,040 from Zangersheide Ltd and Hanoverian Ltd respectively. All sales between
group companies are at a 20% mark up. Half of the goods purchased were still in
Oldenburg plcs inventories at 30 June 2014.
(2) During the previous year, on 31 December 2012, Zangersheide Ltd sold a machine to
Oldenburg plc for 567,000. At that date, the machine had a carrying amount in
Zangersheide Ltds books of 465,500 and the estimated remaining useful life was
reassessed at five years. Depreciation on this machine is presented in cost of sales.
(3) At 30 June 2014 impairment losses of 18,000 in respect of goodwill arising on the
business combination with Zangersheide Ltd and 6,000 in respect of the carrying
amount of Hanoverian Ltd need to be recognised in the consolidated financial

(1) Coghlan Ltd has launched a new monthly technical magazine to its customers on a
subscription basis, based on a calendar year. 36,000 was received in annual
subscriptions in December 2013 for the year commencing 1 January 2014. This was
recognised immediately as revenue as the amount could be measured reliably and the
economic benefit had flowed to Coghlan Ltd.
(2) On 1 October 2013 Coghlan Ltd entered into a new six-year lease for a regional office.
Lease payments are 1,200 per month payable at the beginning of each month. The
building is estimated to have a useful life of 30 years. Coghlan Ltd negotiated a rent
holiday for the first six months. As a consequence, the rent for the final six months of
the lease will be double. The first payment of 1,200 was made on 1 April 2014. The
lease payments were recognised in administrative expenses as they were paid.
(3) The provision of 500,000 shown in the financial statements above relates to
outstanding lawsuits for the supply, prior to the year end, of faulty products by Coghlan
Ltd to a number of customers. This amount has been recognised as a provision based
on advice from Coghlan Ltds lawyers that the claims are very likely to succeed within
the next six months, which has led to some adverse publicity. The product was
withdrawn in August 2014.
Since recognising the above provision, Coghlan Ltd discovered that there are an
additional 50 faulty products still in circulation. Coghlan Ltds lawyers estimated for each
product 350 would need to be paid.
During the year Coghlan Ltd started offering a one-year repair warranty with its luxury
products. If minor repairs were required for all the relevant goods sold the cost would be
65,000, compared to 157,000 if major repairs were required. Coghlan Ltd estimates
that 20% of the goods sold will require minor repairs and 5% will require major repairs.
No provision was recognised in respect of the warranties for the year ended
30 September 2014 as no goods had been returned by this date.
(4) An interim ordinary dividend of 10p per share was paid on 11 May 2014 and recognised
as a finance cost. Shortly after this, Coghlan Ltd entered into a share buyback scheme
to reacquire 45,000 1 ordinary shares for 1.90 cash per share. The total cash paid
was debited to share capital.
(5) The income tax figure shown in the statement of financial position is the balance
remaining on the nominal ledger after paying the liability for the previous year. As a loss
was made for the year ended 30 September 2014 a tax refund of 65,000 has been

2. The draft financial statements of Porcaro plc, which has a number of wholly-owned
subsidiaries, are being prepared by your trainee, Carmine. A number of outstanding issues
are set out below which require your attention, as financial controller, as Carmine was unsure
of the correct accounting treatment.
The draft consolidated profit for the year ended 30 September 2014 is 483,150.
(1) On 1 October 2013 Porcaro plc borrowed 600,000 at 6% pa, repayable in three years
time, to help fund the construction of an office block. Porcaro plc immediately paid
200,000 to acquire land and gained planning permission on this date but construction
did not start until 31 December 2013. The remaining amount was put into a deposit
account earning interest at 3% pa and was used to make payments to the construction
company of 100,000 on 1 March 2014 and 200,000 on 1 September 2014. The
building was not complete at the year end and a further payment of 100,000 was due
to the construction company after 30 September 2014. All relevant interest was
received and paid on 30 September 2014.
Carmine recognised the net interest paid in the statement of profit or loss and
capitalised all other costs incurred as an asset in the course of construction.
(2) On 1 October 2013 Porcaro plc issued 6,000 5% 100 convertible bonds. Each bond is
redeemable in four years time at par or can be converted into 100 1 ordinary shares.
Interest is payable annually in arrears and the market rate of interest for similar bonds
without the conversion option is 7% pa. Carmine has credited the cash proceeds from
the bond issue to non-current liabilities. The annual interest of 30,000 was paid at the
year end and was recognised as a finance cost.
(3) On 1 April 2014 Porcaro plc paid 72,000 for a licence for the production of a state of
the art microchip. At the end of six years it is thought that the licence will be worthless
due to advances in technology. Carmine has recognised the licence in the draft financial
statements as an intangible asset of 90,000 as this is the amount that a competitor
offered to Porcaro plc for the licence on 30 June 2014 due to its unique nature. Carmine
showed the increase in value as a revaluation surplus in equity.
(4) On 1 May 2014 Porcaro plc and three other unrelated trading companies each
purchased one quarter of the 100,000 1 ordinary shares, at par, of a newly
incorporated company, Barbarossa Ltd. Under a contractual agreement each investor is
entitled to an equal share of the profits and losses and unanimous consent is required
for all key operating decisions. For the period ended 30 September 2014 Barbarossa
Ltd reported a profit after tax of 130,000, no dividends have yet been paid. On
acquisition, Carmine recognised the cost of the 25,000 shares in Barbarossa Ltd as a
current asset. No other accounting entries have been made in respect of Barbarossa
Ltd.
On 1 October 2013 Porcaro plc had in issue 270,000 1 ordinary shares. On 1 February
2014 Porcaro plc made a 1 for 3 rights issue for 1.70 per share. The market price of one
Porcaro plc ordinary share immediately before the rights issue was 2.10.

Requirements
financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2014, preparing all relevant
calculations and setting out the required adjustments in the form of journal entries.
(27 marks)
(b) Using your results from Part (a) calculate a revised figure for consolidated profit for the
year. (2 marks)
(c) (i) Calculate basic earnings per share for the Porcaro plc group.
(ii) Briefly explain the treatment of the rights issue in the above calculation. (6 marks)
(d) Describe the difference between IFRS and UK GAAP in relation to issue (1) above.
(1 mark)

with additional funding of 160,000 obtained on 1 April 2014.

consideration comprising cash of 230,000 and 45,000 1 ordinary shares in Henrit plc,
with a market value of 3.15 each. The investment in Crago Ltd was recognised in non-

interest and goodwill on the acquisition of Crago Ltd were calculated using the fair value
method. The fair value of the non-controlling interest at 1 April 2014 was 261,000.
