FINANCIAL REPORTING BASIC CONCEPTS


Underlying assumptions

accruals

going concern

consistency

materiality

off-setting

E xample 1
Laima has recently bought a shop called Sweet for $1 million and included the full amount in her cost of sales account.
How does each of the five concepts affect the way Laima should treat the cost of $1 million?

Advantages and disadvantages of standardisation of accounting practices

provide a focal point for debate

require disclosure of policies adopted

encourage global discussion

flexible

enable meaningful comparison

reduce penumbral areas of divergent possibilities

pressure groups may succeed in asking for amendments

allowed alternative treatments standardisation?

inappropriate treatment could result from following a standard

rules take away use of skill and judgement

THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK


A conceptual framework

framework has been developed


defined as a constitution, a coherent system of interrelated objectives and fundamentals which can lead to consistent standards
and which prescribe the nature, function and limits of financial accounting and financial statements

generally accepted accounting practice ( gaap )

a combination of:

each countrys own law

international financial reporting standards

stock exchange requirements

but gaap does not have any statutory authority

changes and evolves with changing circumstances

The framework

provides a set of principles

purpose defined as assisting:

IASC in development of new standards

review of existing standards

harmonisation of standards and procedures

reduction of penumbral areas of divergent possibilities

development of new standards by national accounting bodies

preparers of financial statements

auditors in forming audit opinions

users in their interpretation of financial statements

Framework contents

objectives of financial statements

underlying assumptions ( accruals and going concern )

qualitative characteristics ( see next )

elements of financial statements (assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and capital maintenance)

recognition of the elements

measurement

concept of capital and capital maintenance

as a set of principles, it requires entities to follow the spirit of the framework

its not a standard, so does not override any existing standard requirements

nor does it define any standard for measurement or disclosure of any particular issue

IFRS5 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Objective

to require entities to disclose information about operations which have been discontinued during the accounting period

improves the readers ability to interpret the results and to make meaningful projections

a non-current asset held for sale is one where the carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale rather than through
continuing use

a disposal group is a group of ( net ) assets to be disposed of in a single sale transaction

to be classified as held for sale

it must be available for immediate sale in its present condition

...subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets, and

its sale must be highly probable ( see next )

for a sale to be highly probable


management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset

an active programme to locate a buyer must have been started

as also must be a programme to complete the plan

the asset must be being actively marketed at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value

the sale should be expected to take place within twelve months from the date of classification as held for sale

it should be unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn

measurement lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to sell

impairment loss to be recognised if fair value is less than carrying value

held for sale assets should not be depreciated even though they may still be in use

...is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sell

a component of an entity comprises operations and cash flows which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity, both
operationally and for financial reporting purposes

position
assets and liabilities should not be off-set
the major classes of assets and liabilities must be separately disclosed on the face of the statement of financial position or in the

types of acquisition

when an entity acquires a sole trader or partnership, it acquires individual assets and liabilities which are added to its
statement of financial position, since it now owns them.

all profits and losses that the sole traders assets would generate are now under the entitys control and reported in its
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

when it acquires control of another entity, it is done by acquiring shares rather than individual assets and liabilities.

the investment in the acquiring entitys books is represented by the ownership of shares, which in turn represents control
of the acquired entitys net assets.

after the transaction the acquired entity will continue to exist as a separate legal person with its continuing national
legislative reporting responsibilities.

accounted for as an asset held for sale as described in IFRS 5.

an asset held for sale in this case represents an investment in shares in another entity held for short-term profit-making by
trading those shares. It should initially be recognised at cost and from then on at its fair value.

in these notes, it is assumed that the investment is recorded in the holding entitys individual records at cost.

Definition of a subsidiary

a subsidiary is an entity controlled by another entity.

control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

control is presumed to exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than one half of the voting
power of an entity unless, in exceptional circumstances, it can be clearly demonstrated that such ownership does not constitute
control.
control also exists when the parent owns half or less of the voting power of an entity when there is:

power over more than half the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other investors;

power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity under statute or agreement;

power to appoint or remove the majority of the directors or equivalent governing body; or

power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the directors or equivalent governing body.

PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED


STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
Issue

consolidation is the process of adjusting and combining financial information from the individual financial statements of a parent
undertaking and its subsidiary undertakings to prepare consolidated financial statements that present financial information for the
group as a single economic entity.
the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position reflects the assets and liabilities within the control of the parent entity, and how
they are owned.
defined by IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements, consolidated financial statements are the financial statements of a group
presented as those of a single entity.

E xample 1
Rasa acquired 100% of the shares of Tatjana on 1 January, 2009 for $18,000. At that date the Statements of Financial Position were as

Note

share capital is always, only, ever the share capital of the parent entity.

the retained earnings of $10,000 in Tatjana were all achieved prior to Rasa gaining control, and since this question asks for
a CSoFP as at date of acquisition, then there has been no opportunity for Tatjana to make any profits subsequent to Rasa
gaining control. Therefore, in this example, the consolidated retained earnings are simply those of Rasa.

the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position shows the assets which are under the control of Rasa, rather than the

the share capital is always, only, ever that of the parent entity, because the group financial statements are prepared for the
benefit of Rasas shareholders only.

included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are Rasas share of the profits less losses made by Tatjana since
acquisition.

Complications

goodwill

so far, the cost of the investment has equalled the value of the identifiable net assets acquired and therefore the buying
entity has not paid any surplus over the worth of the subsidiary

where the cost of investment is greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the investor has paid for something
more than the tangible net assets of the acquired business.

the difference is called GOODWILL and is defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations as:
--

accounting treatment of goodwill


future economic benefits arising from assets that are not capable of being individually identified and separately
recognised

the accounting treatment of goodwill on acquisition of a subsidiary is governed by IFRS 3. It states that purchased positive
goodwill should be capitalised and subjected to an annual impairment review.

negative goodwill arising on acquisition


an acquirer should review at the first year end after the acquisition the fair value of assets on acquisition.

if negative goodwill still results, this should be credited to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income
at the earliest opportunity

Non-controlling interests

non-controlling interests arise where the parent entity controls a subsidiary but does not own 100% of it

Note

remember you do not have to own 100% of an entity to control it

the group financial statements will need to show the extent to which the assets and liabilities are controlled by the parent
entity but are owned by other parties, namely the non-controlling interests.

Paper F7

The non-controlling interest in the goodwill of the subsidiary creates additional complications

there are two distinct ways of guiding you in the calculation

the examiner may say either:

the parent company policy is to value the non-controlling interest as their proportional share of the subsidiarys fair valued
net assets at date of acquisition, or

the parent company policy is to value the non-controlling interest on a full or fair value basis

the key is the use of the word proportional or proportion or proportionate

E xample 5
Remigijus acquires 75% of the issued share capital of Ilona for $80,000 when the Ilona retained earnings were $60,000. It is the policy of
the directors to value the non-controlling interest as their proportional share of the subsidiary fair valued net assets at date of acquisition.

but where the examiner tells us the value of the NCI is based on a full or fair value basis of the market value of the subsidiary
information may be given in any one of three ways
the exam question could say, for example, either

goodwill attributable to the NCI on acquisition was $2,000, or

the NCI investment was estimated at $30,000, or

the market value of the subsidiary shares immediately before acquisition was $4.

looking at each possibility in turn:

E xample 6
Ivona bought 60% of the shares of Guido for $100,000 when the Guido retained earnings were $40,000. The Ivona directors have valued
the goodwill attributable to the nci at $5,000. Goodwill has not been impaired since acquisition.

Using Ivona and Guido, but with the information that the Guido shares were worth $1.65 immediately before the acquisition by Ivona, prepare the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June, 2010.

there is a further complication which arises when goodwill is to be impaired.

in the last of the Ivona / Guido examples, goodwill was $32,800

now suppose that this goodwill is to be impaired by 10%

10% $32,800 is $3,280 and this amount is allocated on the basis of shareholdings ie on a 60% / 40% basis

Other reserves

exam questions will often give other reserves (such as a revaluation surplus) as well as retained earnings. These reserves should be
treated in exactly the same way as retained earnings.
if the reserve is pre-acquisition it forms part of the calculation of net assets at the date of acquisition and is therefore used in the
goodwill calculation.
if the reserve is post-acquisition, or there has been some movement on a reserve which existed at acquisition, the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position will show the parent entitys reserve plus its share of the movement on the subsidiarys reserve.

Mid-year acquisitions

so far, we have considered acquisitions only at the Statement of Financial Position date. Thus, since entities produce Statements of
Financial Position at that date anyway, there has been no special need to establish the net assets of the acquired entity at that date.
with a mid-year acquisition, a Statement of Financial Position is unlikely to exist at the date of acquisition as required. Accordingly,
we have to estimate the net assets at the date of acquisition using various assumptions.
rule for mid-year acquisitions

assume that profits accrue evenly throughout the year unless specifically told otherwise.

Robertas acquired 75% of the issued share capital of Ingrida on 1 August, 2009.

IFRS 13 Fair value measurement


Fair value of assets and liabilities acquired

the fair value is calculated as:


securities and tangible non-current assets - market value

receivables and payables - present value

finished goods and work in progress - net selling price less reasonable profit margin

raw materials - replacement cost

intangible assets - by reference to an active market, or otherwise on an arms length basis

if the fair value of an intangible asset cannot be measured with respect to an active market, then the amount recognised should be
limited to an amount that does not create negative goodwill (or if it already exists, does not increase negative goodwill).

method

adjust assets and liabilities to reflect fair values prior to consolidation.

prepare the consolidated financial statements using the adjusted values of assets and liabilities.

consider if any adjustments are needed as a result of this eg extra depreciation.

GROUP ACCOUNTS: INTER-ENTITY TRANSACTIONS


Issue

the purpose of consolidation is to present the parent entity and its subsidiaries as if they existed as a single entity.
therefore, only amounts owing to or from outside the group should be included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial
Position, and any assets should be stated at cost to the group.

Trading transactions

inter-entity balances

trading transactions will usually be recorded in current accounts in each entitys accounting records, which would also
record amounts received and/or paid.

the current account receivable in one entitys records should equal the current account payable in the other. These two
balances should be cancelled on consolidation as inter-entity receivables and payables and should not be shown.

reconciliation of inter-entity balances


where current accounts do not agree at the year end, and in an exam they probably will not, this will be due to errors,
management charges, or in-transit items such as inventory and cash.

for errors, make the necessary correction in the records of the entity which has made the error.

for management charges, make the correction in the records of the entity which has not yet accounted for the charge.

for in-transit items, accelerate the inventory or cash into the records of the receiving entity.

method

make all the adjustments ON THE FACE OF YOUR QUESTION PAPER prior to consolidating net assets.

Group Accounts: Inter-entity Transactions

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

Inventory sold at a profit within the group

inventory should be stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value from the point of view of the group. If inventory has been
transferred within the group at a profit it will be over-stated and needs to be written down.
the entity that made the sale will have recorded a profit on the transaction which is realised from the individual entity point of view.
From the group perspective, this profit will only be realised when the goods are sold to the outside world, and therefore should not
be recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
to eliminate the unrealised profit from retained earnings and inventory a provision is made in the books of the entity making the
sale. This only happens on consolidation.

method

calculate the unrealised profit included in inventory and note the adjustments to inventory and retained earnings ON THE
FACE OF THE QUESTION PAPER. Both sides of the adjustment must be made to the entity which has recognised this
unrealised profit ie the selling entity.

Note:
profits may be referred to in a number of ways. The examiner has called the profit percentage

a mark-up

a gross profit

a gross margin

(these last two are the same)


Accept that: Cost +
Profit =

in the exam, the examiner may give you a value for cost, or for transfer price, and will normally give you a profit percentage.

for mark up, the percentage relates to cost

for gross profit, the percentage relates to selling value.

so, when faced with a Provision for Unrealised Profit adjustment, always set out the equation:

Cost

now put into the profit column the percentage given by the examiner.

next, read carefully whether this is a mark-up or a gross profit.

if its mark-up, put 100 in the Cost column.

if its gross profit or gross margin, put 100 in the SP column.

now complete the equation.

for example, if goods were transferred at a 20% gross margin, then the equation will appear as
C

Profit

Selling (or transfer) Price

= SP

Profit = SP

? + 20 = 100
therefore cost must be 80

Free ACCA course notes Free ACCA lectures Free tests Free tutor support StudyBuddy Largest ACCA forums

Chapter 8
Group Accounts: Inter-entity Transactions

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

if they were transferred at 30% mark-up, then


C

Profit = SP

100 + 30 = ?

therefore selling/transfer value must be 130


from these equations, you can now calculate how much profit was achieved on transfer by the selling entity, and therefore
also the profit element which is included in the closing inventory.

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

Transfer of non-current assets

carrying value and depreciation


the transfer of non-current assets at a profit within the group gives rise to the same kind of issues as the transfer of inventory,
namely that the non-current assets should be stated at cost to the group and the profit on the sale is unrealised.

an additional problem is that the non-current asset will subsequently be being depreciated based on the new carrying
value, but the group depreciation charge should be based on original cost.

the adjustment for unrealised profit should be made in the records of the entity which has recognised the profit ie the
selling entity.

the adjustment for depreciation should also be made in the records of the selling entity.

method
make the adjustments ON THE FACE OF THE QUESTION:
(1) Dr
Retained earnings
Cr
Non-current assets
with the provision for unrealised profit in the financial statements of the entity selling the asset.
(2) Dr

December 2015 Examinations

Dividends

issue

dividends are an appropriation of profit and the parent entity, as a shareholder of the subsidiary, will be entitled to a share
of the subsidiarys dividends.

as always, any inter-entity payable or receivable should not appear in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position so
only the liability to third parties will be disclosed, ie the dividend payable to the non-controlling interest.

method

adjustments will need to be made if:

-dividends proposed before year end have not been adjusted for; and/or
-dividends receivable still need to be accounted for in the parent entitys records.
the adjustments should be made ON THE FACE OF THE QUESTION PAPER prior to consolidation.

note:

IAS 10 (revised) states that only dividends proposed before the Statement of Financial Position date should be accounted
for.

on consolidation, the dividend receivable in the records of the parent entity will cancel against the dividend payable in
the records of the subsidiary to leave the amount payable to the non-controlling interest as a liability in the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position.

the adjustments are, in the parent entity records


DR Receivables

CR

Retained earnings

with the parents share of the subsidiary dividend and, in the subsidiary records

DR

Retained earnings

CR

Dividends payable

with the full subsidiary dividend.


then, cancel the Receivable (in parent) with the Payable (in subsidiary) leaving just the non-controlling interests share of
the dividend as a payable.

and finally . one last problem

the examiner has introduced one last difficulty and it arises with frequent regularity

its a problem relating to the cost of acquisition by the parent of the investment in the subsidiary

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

so far, we have considered only a cash payment made by the parent to the former shareholders of the subsidiary so the parent
could buy those shares
but what if, instead of or as well as offering cash, the parent issued some of its own shares in exchange for the shares in the
subsidiary

say you hold 500 shares in an entity and you have just received an offer from another entity wanting to buy your 500 shares

but instead of offering you cash today, they make an alternative suggestion

the alternative could for example be a combination of different elements such as:

cash next year

a loan note ( a promise by this new company to pay you sometime in the future )

some shares in their own company

I llustration
Here are the relevant extracts from question 1 in the December 2012 examination:Viagem acquired 90% of the equity share capital of Greca on 1 January, 2012 in a share for share exchange in which Viagem issued two
new shares for every three shares it acquired in Greca.
In addition, on 31 December, 2012 Viagem will pay the shareholders of Greca $1.76 per share acquired.
Viagems cost of capital is 10% per annum
at the date of acquisition, shares in Viagem and Greca had a stock market value of $6.50 and $2.50 each, respectively
the fair value of the non-controlling interest investment is the fair value of the shares held by them
we are also told that the $1 equity shares and the retained earnings of the two companies as at 1 January, 2012 were:
Viagem

Greca

$1 equity shares

30,000

10,000

Retained earnings

54,000

35,000

Solution
How many shares did we acquire?
90% 10,000 = 9,000
How many shares did we issue?
we issued two new shares for every three acquired so:
9,000/3 2 means we issued 6,000 of our own shares to acquire 9,000 shares in Greca
And how much were our shares worth?
$6.50
therefore, the value of the shares we issued to acquire 90% of Greca was
6,000
6,000 $1 nominal value of share capital
6,000 $5.50 share premium
33,000
OK, thats the share for share element sorted out

Now for the deferred cash payment, payable on 31 December 2012


At a cost of capital of 10% an amount of $1.10 payable in one years time has a present value of $1.10 1 /1.10 = $1
So an amount of $1.76 has a today value of $1.76 1 / 1.10 ie $1.60
and 9,000 shares acquired $1.60 = $14,400
therefore total consideration for the acquisition is:
$1 equity shares
share premium
deferred cash payment

6,000
33,000
14,400

add to that the nci investment value of 1,000 shares valued at $2.50 = $2,500
total value of Greca is therefore $55,500

PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED


STATEMENT OF PROFIT OR LOSS AND
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Purpose

aim

the aim of the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income is to show the results of the group
for an accounting period as if it were a single entity.

exactly the same principles are to be applied as for the Statement of Financial Position ie control in the first instance.

accordingly, we are then able to show the profits of the group arising from the control exercised by the parent entity.

method

revenue down to profit after tax
--

AGGREGATE 100% parent and 100% subsidiary regardless of amount owned (so long as control is established)
thereby showing profits controlled by the parent.
-EXCLUDE any dividends from subsidiary since to include them would be double counting - youve included the
profits out of which dividends are paid in part (i) above.
non-controlling interest. They want their share of this years subsidiary profit after tax.

dividends parent entity only.

both the non-controlling interest and the dividends should be shown in the Statement of Changes in Equity and not in the
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income

retained earnings - these are calculated in exactly the same way as for the Statement of Financial Position but this time, its
only for the current year.

E xample 1

Strictly speaking, the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income should finish on the line Profit after tax, but continue
down through non-controlling interest and dividends

Inter-entity trading

issue
when considering the group as if it were a single entity, inter-entity trading represents transactions which the group undertakes
with itself. Clearly these have to be eliminated from the results. The value of inventory in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income may need to be adjusted to make sure that it represents the cost to the group.

rules for inter-entity trading


cancel inter-entity transactions from the sales and cost of sales figures, $ for $, ON THE FACE OF THE QUESTION PAPER

then account for any unrealised profit in inventory. This is always done by ADDING the pup to the cost of sales figure in the
entity which has recognised the unrealised profit ie the selling entity.

Rule for mid-year acquisitions

where a parent buys a subsidiary part way through the year ie a mid-year acquisition, we are still aiming to produce financial
statements which reflect CONTROL.
clearly, the parent does not control the subsidiary results before acquisition, so we need to time apportion the subsidiary Statement
of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and consolidate only the post-acquisition elements.
unless otherwise stated, assume that revenues and expenses accrue evenly throughout the 12 month period.

ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS IN


ASSOCIATES (IFRS3 REVISED)
Definition of associate

per IAS 28 (revised) an associate is an entity in which the investor has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor
a joint venture of the investor.

significant influence

significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not
control over those policies. Representation on the board of directors is indicative of such participation, but will neither
necessarily be conclusive evidence of it nor be the only method by which the investing entity may participate in policy
decisions.

for examination purposes the significant influence test will centre on the percentage shareholding of one entity in another.

IAS 28 (revised) provides that:


if an investor holds directly or indirectly 20% but 50% of the voting power it is presumed the investor has the ability to
exercise significant influence; therefore associate status will be presumed unless it can be demonstrated otherwise.

if an investor holds directly or indirectly < 20% of the voting power it is presumed the investor has no significant influence;
therefore no associate status, again unless demonstrated otherwise.

IAS 28 (revised) states significant influence can be shown by:


representation on the board of directors

participation in policy making processes

material transactions between the investor and investee

interchange of managerial personnel

provision of essential technical information

Accounting for associates in the investors individual books

the investment can be


carried at cost (recognising dividend income in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income)

accounted for as an asset held for sale as described in IFRS 5

an asset held for sale in this case represents an investment in shares in another entity held for short-term profit-making by
trading those shares. It should initially be recognised at cost and from then on at its fair value.

Consolidated financial statements

an investment in an associate should be accounted for in consolidated financial statements using the equity method unless it can
be shown that the investment is held to be disposed of in the near future or there are severe long-term restrictions on the ability
to transfer funds to the investor in which case the cost method should be used.

Equity method: IFRS3 (revised) specifies the following treatment:

Statement of Financial Position


the investment should initially be recorded at cost as a non-current asset investment. The carrying amount is increased/
decreased as follows:

Initial cost
Add/less: share of post acquisition retained earnings
Less: amounts impaired since acquisition
Carrying value

X
X/(X)
(X)
X

Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income


the groups share of the associates results (profit after tax) should be included immediately before total profit before tax
(IAS 1).

the groups share of any associate prior period items should also be disclosed separately.

Note

an associate is not a group entity, therefore there is no cancellation of inter-entity transactions. However, IFRIC 3
(International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee) states that unrealised profits and losses on transactions
between investor and associate should be eliminated (unless the unrealised loss represents an impairment) in the same
way as for group accounts.

this elimination is best achieved by accounting for any unrealised profit ALWAYS in the associates Statement of Profit or
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. It does not matter whether the goods were bought from, or sold to, the associate.
ALWAYS in the associates records.

uniform accounting policies should be used, or relevant adjustments must be made.

impairment losses should be accounted for in accordance with the principles of IAS 36

IAS 2 INVENTORIES

accruals concept requires revenues and associated costs to be matched

so cost of inventory in hand at the end of the year should be deducted in arriving at cost of sales for the year

inventory comprises:

raw material

production supplies

work in progress

finished goods

goods in saleable condition

valuation of closing inventory


at the lower of cost and net realisable value

cost includes all those costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition including purchase cost,
conversion cost and other costs (see next)

in determining lower of cost and net realisable value each line of inventory should be considered separately

purchase cost comprises:


purchase price

import duties and other taxes

carriage inwards

but excludes trade discounts, rebates and similar deductions

IAS 2 Inventories

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

conversion costs comprise:


costs directly related to units of production eg direct labour, direct expenses and sub-contract costs

systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads incurred in converting materials into finished goods

fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal activity

in periods of abnormally high activity, fixed overhead allocation per unit should be reduced to avoid over valuation of
inventory

other costs are included to the extent they are incurred in bringing inventory to its present location and condition

determining cost may be achieved in a number of ways:


actual cost (of identifiable items eg used cars)

FIFO

weighted average cost (total cost of units purchased divided by total number of units purchased) the price is recalculated
each time more units are purchased

standard cost

retail method simply, sales value less an appropriate gross margin

replacement cost used where an active market exists. Not unusual in valuing commodities such as gold

LIFO however, no longer recognised as acceptable

benchmark is either FIFO or weighted average cost but, in the interests of truth and fairness, any method may be used.

NRV may be less than cost in a number of possible situations:

an increase in costs or a decrease in selling price

inventory is no longer in best physical condition

finished inventory is now technically obsolete or out of fashion

a strategic management decision to sell goods at less than cost

errors made in purchasing or production

disclosure

accounting policy used in measuring inventory including the cost formula

total carrying amount in inventory, appropriately classified

amount of inventory held at net realisable value

amount of any reversals of previous write-downs and circumstances which caused the reversal

carrying amount of any inventory promised as security for debt

IAS 11 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS

prudence dictates no recognition of profit until actually realised

but this would lead to MAJOR distortion of profit figures

so IAS requires the spreading of profit over the life of a construction contract

construction contract is a contract specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset or a combination of assets that are
closely interrelated or interdependent in terms of their design, technology and function or their ultimate purpose or use eg building
a bridge, building, dam, ship.

a construction contract need not be one which takes more than 12 months, but is one which affects more than one accounting
period.

two types fixed price contract and cost plus contract

one contract, multiple units? Treat as separate contracts if:

separate proposals have been submitted for each unit

costs and revenues can be separately allocated

an example: one contract, four power stations

group of contracts, but treated as one single contract?


group of contracts negotiated as a single package

contracts so closely interrelated that they appear to be one

contracts are performed at the same time

an example: fifty contracts to build fifty houses (one in each contract)

in the exam, the examiner will either tell you a percentage stage reached or will give you a basis for its calculation

it may be, for example, costs to date as a percentage of total costs in the contract, or

...valuation of work certified as a percentage of the contract price

accounting treatment

recognise as revenue the appropriate percentage of the contract value

recognise as expense the same percentage of total costs of the contract unless

an overall loss is forecast, in which case recognise the forecast loss in full.

IAS 36 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

entities should assess at the year end whether there is any indication that any of their assets is impaired

indicators may be external or internal

external indicators may include:

significant decline in market value

adverse changes in the environment in which the entity operates whether technological, market, economic or legal

increase in market interest rates or market rates of return

carrying amount of net assets exceeds market capitalisation

internal indicators may include


theft

obsolescence or physical damage

evidence that asset performance is worse than expected

managements plans to restructure or dispose of the asset earlier than originally planned

assets should be measured at the lower of carrying amount and recoverable amount
lower of

IAS 36 Impairment of Assets

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

Cash-Generating Units (CGUs)


a cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are
largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets.

goodwill and corporate assets (such as head office assets) that relate to, and can be allocated on a reasonable and consistent
basis to, the CGU should be considered when determining carrying amount and recoverable amount.

Calculation of value in use

cash inflows and outflows should be estimated for assets or CGUs from continuing use of the asset in their current condition
including:

directly attributable cash flows;

an appropriate proportion of cash flows that can be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to the asset or CGU; and

any net cash flows to be received or paid for the disposal of the asset at the end of its useful life on a fair value basis.

they should not include estimated cash inflows or outflows from:


a future restructuring to which the entity is not yet committed; nor

future capital expenditure that will improve the asset or CGU in excess of its originally assessed standard of performance; nor

financing activities; nor

income tax receipts or payments.

Discount rate for value in use calculation

the discount rate should be a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the asset.

Impairment losses treatment

first, individually impaired assets

then goodwill in the cgu

then the excess allocated on a proportional basis against the other cgu assets but

no asset should be impaired to an amount less than its recoverable amount

Accounting treatment of impaired losses:

if asset held at depreciated historic cost, then reduce value through the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive
Income
after the recognition of an impairment, depreciation or amortisation should be based on the impaired value over the remaining
estimated useful life

unusually, an impairment may be reversed

accounting treatment is the reverse of the treatment applied on the impairment

but dont unimpair to a value greater than the asset would have been valued if it had not been impaired in the first place

where there is a cgu impairment reversal, the question arises as to whether goodwill impairment should be reversed

only in VERY EXCEPTIONAL circumstances should goodwill be reversed

IAS 37 PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT


LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

a provision is a liability that is of uncertain timing or amount

objective of IAS 37 is to set out principles of accounting for provisions and contingencies

also to ensure appropriate recognition criteria and measurement bases are applied

and that sufficient information is disclosed in the notes to enable users to understand their nature, timing and amount

recognition of a provision:

when an entity has a present obligation

legal or constructive

as a result of some past event

involving the probable outflow of economic resource to settle the obligation

capable of reliable measurement

provisions should be reviewed each year and adjusted to reflect best estimate

IAS 37 Obligating events and onerous contracts

an obligating event is a past event which has led to a present obligation


to be classed as an obligating event it is necessary that the entity has no realistic alternative to settling the obligation created by
the event
legal obligations arise from contract, from legislation or from other operation of law
constructive obligations arise when the entity has established a pattern of best practice, or published policies, or has indicated by
specific statement that it will accept certain responsibilities and

has therefore created a valid expectation in the minds of those affected

provisions for future operating losses should not be recognised (they dont meet the definition of a liability)

onerous contracts? One which the entity would prefer not to be involved with because, whatever they do, there will be an outflow
of economic resource
provision should be made for that outflow to the extent of the least amount which could be lost

IAS 17 LEASES

the classic example of the issue substance over form

definitions

a finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset (to the lessee). Title may
or may not be eventually transferred.

the lease term is the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has contracted to lease the asset together with any further
terms for which the lessee has the option to continue to lease the asset, with or without further payment, which option at
the inception of the lease it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise.

the minimum lease payments are the payments over the lease term that the lessee is, or can be, required to make excluding
contingent rent, costs for services and taxes to be paid by and reimbursed to the lessor, together with any amounts
guaranteed by the lessee or related party.

fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties
in an arms length transaction.

interest rate implicit in the lease - the discount rate that, at the inception of a lease, causes the aggregate present value of the
minimum lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value to be equal to the fair value of the leased asset.

the only obligation recognised is the capital element of the lease. The interest element is not yet an obligation

as instalments are paid, each instalment will repay some of the obligation but also includes an element of finance lease interest

the interest element will be charged in the Statement of Income and Other Comprehensive Income each year within finance costs

problem!
how to calculate the interest relating to each individual accounting period affected by the lease?

three possible ways (at least!!)


straight line / level spread method ugh

actuarial method ideal

the actuarial method uses the interest rate implicit in the lease to calculate the finance charge for each period based on the

December 2015 Examinations

IFRIC 4 another recent look at leases

draftsmen continue to try to find ways of creating arrangements which lie outside the normal leasing type contracts.

nevertheless, these arrangements could realistically be seen as finance leases

examples in IFRIC 4 include


outsourcing arrangements

telecommunication contracts that provide rights to capacity

take-or-pay and similar contracts, in which purchasers must make specified payments regardless of whether they take
delivery of the contracted products or services.

IFRIC 4 specifies that such an arrangement is, or contains, a lease that should be accounted for in accordance with IAS 17 Leases if it meets
the following criteria:

fulfilment of the arrangement depends upon a specific asset ( specified or not-specified ). An asset may be unspecified in the
situation where only one particular asset is capable of doing the job. Therefore, there is no need to specify that it is an ( eg ) ZX492D

the arrangement transfers a right to control the use of the asset.

this will be so if any of the following conditions is met:


the purchaser in the arrangement has the ability or right to operate the asset or direct others to operate the asset and at
the same time can enjoy a significant amount of the output of the asset

the purchaser has the ability or right to control physical access to the asset and at the same time can enjoy a significant
amount of the output of the asset

there is only a remote possibility that parties other than the purchaser will take a significant amount of the output of the
asset and the price that the purchaser will pay is neither fixed based on levels of output nor equal to the current market
price at the time of delivery.

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

Summary of an article from September 2012 Student Accountant examining problems with
classification of leases

leases, we know, are classed as finance leases or as operating leases

and if its not a finance lease then, by default, it must be operating

situations which would indicate that a lease is probably a finance lease include:

where ownership of the asset is transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease agreement

where the lease term is for substantially the whole of the assets useful life, even though ownership is not to be transferred
at the end of the lease term

where the present value of the minimum lease payments amounts to substantially the whole of the fair value of the asset

where the leased asset is of such a specialised nature that only the lessee is able to use the asset without further extensive
modifications

where the lessee is entitled to cancel the lease but, in doing so, the lessee will bear any loss sustained by the lessor

where any gain or loss arising from fluctuations in the residual fair value are to be borne by the lessee

where the lessee has the ability to continue to lease the asset for a secondary period at a rent which is substantially lower
than the market rent

all or any of these situations COULD indicate that the arrangement is a finance lease

unusual situations

variation in lease terms


---

classification is made at the start of the lease but its possible that the lessor and the lessee agree to vary the terms
but a mere change in an estimate ( for example, a change in the estimated residual value of property ) will not
necessarily give rise to a change in classification
-if these changes had been in place at the start of the lease and would have given rise to a different classification, then
the revised lease is treated as a new lease over the remaining lease term
-but no retrospective adjustments are made
specialised assets
----------

normally structured as finance leases


the fact that its specialised suggests that no other entity has a use for the asset
the lessor, realising this, must structure the lease in such a way that the return on the investment is achieved through
the lease payments
if, however, the lessor is able to sell or re-lease a specialised asset after the lease term, and is willing to take that risk,
that would suggest that the original lease is an operating lease
a non-specialised asset may become specialised for example, the lessor may decide that it would be too expensive
or impractical to disassemble the asset from its location at the end of the lease term
it may be that the lease term is not for substantially the whole of the assets useful life so it could appear that this is
an operating lease
but in the situation of a specialised asset which is too expensive to remove from its location, or
its an asset which is so specialised that only the lessee has any use for it, then
even though it looks like an operating lease, it should be treated as a finance lease

multipally leased asset


--

where an asset has been the subject of multiple leases in its lifetime, and is now being leased for the remainder of its
life, does this mean that the asset should be classed as a finance lease it now satisfies the criterion for the whole
or substantially the whole of its useful life?
-throughout its life, through all its previous leases, this asset has been classed as an operating leased asset
-it would not now be considered acceptable for it to be classed as a finance leased asset just because its reached the
end of its useful life
low or nominal rents
---

the reason why low rents are being charged is important


it could be that a substantial premium has been paid at the start of the lease which may equate to substantially the
whole of the assets fair value
-in that case, its probably classed as a finance lease
-but if no premium has been paid, it seems that the agreement lacks a commercial basis and that the lessor is
indifferent to the passing of the risks and rewards of ownership
-classification in this situation would need to be made following consideration of the lessors reasoning behind such
a non-commercial arrangement
option to extend the lease term
--

an option to extend into a secondary term at a nominal rental is probably an indicator that the lessor is expecting
to achieve the return on the investment during the initial lease term
-the existence of such an option is therefore an indicator that the lease is a finance lease
-an option to extend at market rates, on the other hand, is an indicator that an adequate return is not going to be
achieved during the initial lease term
-such an option would therefore indicate an operating lease
-the absence of any option period indicates neither one classification nor the other
residual value considerations
--

if the lease is constructed such that the lessee bears the risk of any fluctuations in residual value of the leased asset,
this indicates that the lessors return is fixed
-and that, in turn, suggests that the lease is a finance lease
-but if the risk of residual value fluctuation lies with the lessor, that would indicate an operating lease
sub-leases
--

where a lessee leases an asset and arranges sub-leases for example, a building with office spaces available for
rent the question arises whether to treat the arrangements as a net transaction or treat them as two separate
arrangements
-in this situation, if the main tenant is required to pay rentals whether or not there is a sub-tenant, then the two
arrangements should be considered separately
contingent rents
---

these arise on the occurrence or non-occurrence of some uncertain future event


for example, part of the rental amount to be paid fluctuates dependent upon the level of sales or of production
achieved by the lessee
-because these payments are not dependent upon the passage of time, the time value of money is ignored
-contingent rents are not included in the calculation of minimum lease payments and are accounted for as income /
expense in the period in which they are earned / incurred
clean break clause
--

----

where a lease contains a clean break clause which allows the lessee to walk away from the lease after a certain
period of time without penalty, then the lease term will be calculated from the start of the lease up to the earliest
date the lessee can walk away
this would probably be an operating lease
but if the clause requires the lessee to compensate the lessor such that the lessors investment in the lease is assured,
then the termination clause will be ignored for the purposes of calculating the lease term
and this would be a finance lease

IAS 23 BORROWING COSTS

qualifying loan is a loan borrowed to finance the construction, acquisition or production of a qualifying asset

qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be ready for its intended use or sale

borrowing costs relating directly to qualifying loans must be capitalised as part of the cost of the qualifying asset

where funds are borrowed specifically for the qualifying asset, should capitalise borrowing costs less any investment income
earned from the temporary investment of surplus funds
where funds are borrowed generally, should capitalise an appropriate proportion of borrowing costs, calculated on a weighted
average basis

where the carrying value of the qualifying asset exceeds its recoverable amount, should be impaired

commencement of capitalisation:

expenditure on qualifying asset has begun, and

borrowing costs are being incurred, and

activities are in progress to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale

borrowing costs should not be capitalised when incurred during extended periods of inactivity

capitalisation should cease when substantially all activities necessary to prepare the asset are complete

a further $80,000,000 and spent $20,000,000 immediately. On 1 November work was stopped because of a strike by the workforce. The
work recommenced on 1 January, 2009, and Edigijus spent the rest of the loan in completing the project, which was ready for final

IAS 12 INCOME TAXES

current tax should normally be recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income except when

...it relates to a gain or loss which has been recognised initially in equity

dividend income (and interest and other similar income) should be grossed up for withholding tax and

...the tax charge for the year should be correspondingly increased

income and expenses included in arriving at profit before tax are included on an accruals basis

current tax should be calculated using tax rates and laws which have been enacted (or substantially enacted) by the date of the
statement of financial position
tax charge in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income often bears little relationship to the profit before
tax figure in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income

profit before tax figure is adjusted to bring it into line with tax rules (as distinct from accounting rules)

the differences between these two sets of rules may be permanent differences or temporary differences

IAS 12 differences in greater detail and deferred tax

permanent differences arise where certain items included within the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income
are either not taxable or not allowable for tax
an example entertaining expenditure
temporary differences arise where there are differences between the carrying value of assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position compared with their value for tax purposes (their tax base or tax written-down value)

deferred tax is the tax attributable to these temporary differences

temporary differences may be taxable or deductible

taxable temporary differences give rise to a deferred tax liability payable in the future

deductible temporary differences give rise to a deferred tax asset in the future.

timing differences arise where financial statements items are taxable, but are recognised for tax reasons in periods other than the

for example, interest received is included in financial statements on an accruals basis but

for tax purposes it is recognised on a cash / receipts basis

another time that temporary difference arises is following a revaluation of asset

the difference is the difference between the assets revalued amount and its tax written-down value

because the revaluation increase is credited direct to equity, the associated deferred tax should also be charged to equity, and
therefore is not included as part of the tax charge for the year in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income

IAS 12 Income Taxes

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

IAS 12 requires the use of the full provision method whereby temporary differences are provided for in full
based on the principle that the financial statements for a period should recognise the tax effects of all transactions occurring in
that period
deferred tax assets and liabilities should be calculated using tax rates which are expected to apply in the period when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled

Reasons for recognising deferred tax and related disclosure requirements

reasons for recognising deferred tax:


accruals concept requires it

deferred tax will become a liability eventually

if not recognised, overstatement of profit could lead to:


----

over-optimistic dividend payments


distorted earnings per share figure (and P/E ratio) will mislead stake-holders
share-holders will be under-informed

disclosure

masses of disclosure requirements include:


------

current tax expense


adjustments recognised this year to the tax charges from previous periods
tax relating to items charged direct to equity
details of deferred tax asset / liability broken down by type of temporary difference

IAS 7 (REVISED): STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS


Purpose

the purpose is to show the effect of an entitys commercial transactions on its cash balance.
it is thought that users of financial statements can readily understand cash flows, as opposed to Statements of Comprehensive
Income and Statements of Financial Position which are capable of manipulation by the use of different accounting policies and
creative accounting.
cash flows are used in investment appraisal methods such as net present value and therefore a Statement of Cash Flows gives
potential investors a better chance to consider the performance of a business.
IAS 7 (revised) Statements of Cash Flows separates cash flows into the following headings:

Cash flow from operating activities

Cash flow from investing activities

Cash flow from financing activities

cash comprises cash in hand and demand deposits


cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
ready conversion is normally taken to mean convertible into cash within 3 months after the Statement of Financial Position date.

Note 1: Property, plant and equipment


During the year, the entity acquired property, plant and equipment with an aggregate cost of $2,600,000 of which
$900,000 was acquired under finance leases. Cash payments of $1,700,000 were made to purchase property, plant
and equipment.
Note 2: Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and balances with banks, and investments in the money market.
Cash and cash equivalents included in the Statement of Cash Flows comprise the following Statement of Financial

The entity has further borrowing facilities of $2,000 of which only $700 may be used for future expansion.

operating activities

cash flows from operating activities are primarily derived from the principal revenue-producing activities of the entity.
Therefore they generally result from the transactions or other events that enter into the determination of net profit or loss.

the amount of cash flows arising from operating activities is a key indicator of the extent to which the operations of the
entity have generated sufficient cash flows to repay loans, maintain the operating capacity of the entity, pay dividends and
make new investments without relying on external sources of finance.

investing activities

the cash flows included in this section are those related to the acquisition or disposal of any non-current assets, or trade
investments. This section shows the extent of new investment in assets which will hopefully generate future profit and cash
flows.

On 1 January, 2009 an item of plant was sold for $47,000 which had originally cost $110,000 when new, and had a net book value of
$40,000 at the time of sale.
During 2009, property with a carrying value of $100,000 was revalued to $350,000.

financing activities

cash flows in this section relate to the way the entity has increased or decreased its capital base by way of share issues or
borrowings or by repaying loans and obligations under finance leases.

financing cash flows comprise receipts from or repayments to external providers of finance in respect of principal amounts
of finance. In order to calculate such figures the closing Statement of Financial Position figure for long term debt or share
capital is compared with the opening position for the same items.

the effects of any non-cash flow changes to share capital (eg bonus issues) must also be taken into account. Finance lease
liability payments are also included in this category.

INTERPRETATION OF ACCOUNTS RATIO ANALYSIS


Introduction

ratio analysis is a method traditionally used by people who wish to understand more fully the financial statements and performance
of an entity.
it may be used to identify unusual items, trends or financial problems but, to be of any use, it depends entirely on comparisons
being made.

these comparisons may be between the subject entity and :


the industry as a whole

subject entitys prior period results

management accounts

forecasts

other entities

other related figures elsewhere in the financial statements

in isolation, a calculated ratio or multiple is totally meaningless, and no useful interpretation can be drawn.

Users of financial statements

there is a variety of potential users of an entitys financial statements, each of whom may have different objectives

E xample 1
How may the following users of financial statements benefit from ratio analysis?
(a) Shareholders

(b)

Potential investors

(c)

Bank and other capital providers

(d) Employees

categories of ratios

liquidity

investors ratios.

ratio analysis cannot answer questions. It can only raise matters for further consideration and investigation.
it must be stressed that ratio analysis on its own is not sufficient for interpreting an entitys performance, and that there are other
items of information which should be looked at, for example:

the content of any accompanying commentary on the financial statements and other statements;

the age and nature of the entitys assets;

current and future developments in the entitys markets, at home and overseas, and recent acquisitions or disposals of a
subsidiary by the entity;

any other noticeable features of the financial statements, for example, events after the reporting period, contingent
liabilities, a qualified auditors report, the entitys taxation position, and involvement in research and development

IAS 33 EARNINGS PER SHARE


Need for EPS

earnings per share (EPS) is a component part of the calculation of the Price Earnings Ratio (PE Ratio) which itself is often taken to be
the most important ratio used by investment analysts. This is because it allows a direct comparative measure of entities operating
in different industries and different markets.

in addition, EPS allows analysts to compare an entitys performance over a period of time.

because of these reasons, it was seen as necessary that a standard approach to the calculation of EPS should be defined.

IAS 33 Calculation

scope and disclosure


applies to all entities with shares which are publicly traded.

show basic and diluted EPS on the face of the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income with equal
prominence whether the result is positive or negative for each class of equity shares.

note showing:
---

earnings figure used (numerator) for both basic and diluted EPS and a reconciliation to the net profit or loss for the
period;
weighted average number of equity shares used (denominator) in both the basic and diluted EPS calculation and a
reconciliation between the two.

Earnings per share


basic EPS is calculated as:


Net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders
Weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period

IAS 33 Earnings Per Share

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

Changes in equity share capital

decreases in share capital occur, rarely, when an entity buys back shares from its investors and cancels them.

increases in share capital (can happen in a variety of ways):


issues at full market price

rights issues

bonus issues

capitalisation issues

scrip issues

Note Capitalisation and scrip issues may be taken to be the same as bonus issues

issues at full market price


theory suggests that the market price of a share represents the present value of the future earnings of that share, discounted
for time. There is, therefore, no affect on the earning capacity of existing shares.

the weighted average number of equity shares calculation will be affected, but only to account for the increase with effect
from the date of the issue.

rights issues

a rights issue occurs when an entity offers to its existing shareholders the right to acquire more shares in the entity at a price
lower than the current mid-market price ie at a discount on mid-market price

the rule to apply is:


---

multiply all prior periods this year by the RIGHTS FRACTION, and
multiply last years disclosed EPS by the reciprocal of the rights fraction.

the rights fraction

CRAP
TERP
what is CRAP? The cum-rights actual price ie the market price of the share immediately before the rights issue. Thats CRAP

what is TERP? The theoretical ex rights price ie a calculated theoretical value per share immediately after the rights issue.

the calculation is best set out in a short working as illustrated.

The rights fraction is calculated as

E xample 1
Svetlana had in issue at 1 January, 2009 5,000,000 $1 equity shares.
On 1 August, 2009 Svetlana made a 1 for 4 rights issue at an exercise price of $3. The mid-market price immediately before the rights issue
was $4.
Earnings for the year available to equity shareholders was $3,000,000, and 2008 disclosed EPS was 54c

Calculate Svetlanas basic EPS for 2009, and restate the comparative figure.

Chapter 21
IAS 33 Earnings Per Share

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

bonus issues

a bonus issue is a free issue of shares, given to existing shareholders. No extra funds are available to the entity.

a bonus issue is treated as though the additional shares had been in existence from the first day of the year, and an
adjustment is required also, to reflect the issue, to the disclosed EPS for the previous year.

the rule to apply is:


multiply all prior periods this year by the BONUS FRACTION, and

multiply last years disclosed EPS by the reciprocal of the bonus fraction.

the bonus fraction


The bonus fraction is calculated as:


number of shares in issue after the bonus
number of shares in issue before the bonus

if an entity had 400,000 shares in issue, and made a 1 for 8 bonus issue, then after the issue, there would be 450,000 shares
in issue.
so we could express the bonus fraction as

450,000
400,000

but it is so much easier to express it on the basis of 8 shares originally moving to 9 shares after the bonus ie

E xample 2
Larissa had earnings of $600,000 for the year ended 28 February, 2009 and 2,000,000 $1 equity share capital at 1 March, 2008. On 31
August, Larissa issued 3,000,000 new shares at full market price, and on 1 November 2008, Larissa made a bonus issue of 2 new shares for
every 7 already held. Last years EPS was disclosed as 16c.
Calculate the basic EPS for Larissa for the year ended 28 February, 2009, and restate the comparative EPS.
Note, it is well worth counting the months on your fingers.
For example April August could be

3 months

(30.4 1.8), or

4 months

(30.4 31.8), or

5 months

(1.4 31.8)

Diluted EPS Overview

an entity will calculate, and disclose, its basic EPS prominently in the financial statements for each year.
but the entity may have in issue financial instruments which allow the holder to convert those instruments into equity shares at
some time in the future.
on conversion, clearly the number of shares in issue will increase and, at the same time, the earnings available for equity may also
change because, for example, the entity will no longer have to pay loan interest.
Note: for the purpose of the exam, only two such instruments need to be considered:

options

convertible loans or bonds

the principle behind the diluted EPS calculation is to show existing and potential investors the effect which these future conversions
would have if the conversion date had been on the earliest day possible in the current year.

remained the same, what would the EPS figure be?

Diluted EPS Options

options are often granted to directors and senior employees as an incentive for them to work harder for the entity. As a result of
their efforts, the value of the entity will hopefully increase, and the share price will reflect this increase in value.
on the date the options are granted, the exercise price will be higher than the current mid-market price, and the exercise date may
be a number of years into the future.
as time goes on, as a result of the directors efforts, the mid-market price will increase to a level greater than the exercise price. But
with options (sometimes called warrants) the exercise price is fixed.
Note: only when the mid-market price exceeds the exercise price do we need to consider the options in the diluted eps
calculation. In the exam this is the situation which you will face.

E xample 3
Solveiga had in issue 4,000,000 $1 equity shares throughout the year ended 31 December, 2009, with an average mid-market price of $5.
There were also 3,000,000 outstanding options, which had been granted to the directors, allowing them to exercise their option at $4 per
share.
Earnings for the year ended 31 December, 2009 available for equity were $2,800,000.
Calculate the basic and diluted eps for Solveiga for the year ended 31 December, 2009.

Convertible loans or bonds

when the loans are converted into equity shares, the entity will no longer have the loan interest as an expense. So pre-tax earnings
will increase by the amount of the loan interest.
but that means that taxable profits will also increase. So the saving for the entity will be only the net-of-tax loan interest.

E xample 4
Kaspars, throughout the year ended 31 December, 2009 had in issue 2,000,000 equity shares and $3,000,000 6.25% convertible bonds.
Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 760 equity shares on 31 December 2013, or 740 equity shares on 31 December 2014.
Earnings available for equity for the year ended 31 December, 2009 were $700,000 and the corporate income tax rate is 25%.
Calculate Kaspars basic and diluted eps for the year ended 31 December, 2009.

maximum dilution

so far we have considered, in each example, only one diluting instrument. But what if there is more than one? Clearly, all
financial instruments outstanding could have a diluting affect, but one, or more, of them may in fact improve the basic EPS.

these are known as anti-dilutive, and are ignored for disclosure purposes ie we show the worst position possible in order to
allow existing and potential investors to appreciate the maximum dilution.

where we are faced with more than one convertible financial instrument, the sequence in which we consider their impact
is important.

the rule is:


consider them in the sequence of most diluting first

to arrive at this sequence, it is necessary to calculate the marginal earnings per share for each conversion. When calculated,
we must rank them in the correct sequence, and then apply them in that sequence in a working to establish the diluted eps.

THEORETICAL MATTERS

profit is the difference between an entitys capital at the beginning and the end of an accounting period

but capital could be financial or operating

financial capital is the aggregation of shares and reserves and is known as shareholders funds

objective of financial capital maintenance is to maintain shareholders wealth

operating capital (or physical capital) is the aggregation of non-current assets, inventories and monetary working capital

objective of operating capital maintenance is to maintain operating capacity of the entity

in achieving this, specific price changes are taken into account

different accounting principles apply to different concepts

financial capital maintenance uses either nominal dollars or current purchasing power as the unit of measurement

operating capital maintenance uses nominal dollars

how these possibilities combine can be summarised in the following table:

Theoretical matters

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

Current purchasing power (cpp)

some (or all!) of the items in the financial statements are restated for changes in general price levels compared with a stable
monetary unit the cpp
changes in purchasing power are based on general level of inflation using the RPI
cpp measures profits as the increase in the current purchasing power of equity. Profits are therefore stated after allowing for the fall
in purchasing power resulting from inflation

effect on financial statement items


monetary items and assets / liabilities fixed in $ terms by contract or statute?

adjustment is made to reflect fall in value if using cpp but no adjustment is made when using historic cost accounting

non-monetary items not fixed in $ terms by contract or statute? Adjustment is made to reflect change in value

monetary items value falls as inflation decreases purchasing power

non-monetary items value increases

Advantages and disadvantages of cpp

advantages:

greater comparability resulting from asset value restatement

year by year comparisons have greater validity

subjectivity of other value measurement systems is avoided

being based on historic cost, as adjusted for indexation, the figures are auditable

gains and losses resulting from inflation are high-lighted

disadvantages

use of indices necessarily involves approximation

what use are financial statements to a reader majority rarely understand the figures even when based on the solid ground
of historic costs

restatement of asset values represents neither value to business nor value realised so no improvement on historic cost

Current cost accounting (cca)

cca is the system of accounting applied to the concept of operating capital maintenance

the value of assets consumed or sold, and those in the statement of financial position are stated at their value to the entity

value to the entity is known as deprival value

deprival value is

net realisable value


(nrv)

present value (pv)

depreciation is charged on the asset based on gross replacement cost where replacement cost is the deprival value

where nrv or pv is the deprival value, the charge against cca profits will be the loss of value of the asset

goods sold are charged at their replacement cost. For example, an item of inventory which costs $25 is sold for $32 by which time
its replacement cost has risen to $28

cca trading account would show:


revenue
replacement cost of goods sold

IAS 16 does not apply to forests and similar regenerative natural resources, nor to minerals, oils and similar non-regenerative natural

residual value is the net amount which the entity expects to obtain for an asset at the end of its useful life after deducting the
expected costs of disposal.
fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arms length
transaction.
carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position after deducting any
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

an impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

recognise an asset when:


it is probable that future economic benefit will flow to the entity, and

cost of the asset can be reliably measured

IFRS 15 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS


WITH CUSTOMERS
Definitions within the standard:
Contract:

is an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations

Customer: is a party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an output of that entitys ordinary
activities in exchange for consideration
Income: 
is increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets
or decreases of liabilities that result in an increase in equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity
participants
Performance obligation: is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer to the customer either:
a good or service(or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct, or
a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer
Transaction price: is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods
or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties
Control: 
control of an asset is defined as the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the remaining
benefits from the use of the asset as well as the ability to exclude others from the use of the asset
NB in the rest of this chapter reference to goods shall apply equally to services and reference to services applies equally to goods
Revenue: is income arising in the course of an entitys ordinary activities and specifically:

includes sales, services, interest, royalties and dividends

excludes trade discounts and VAT

should be measured at fair value of consideration received

if consideration is deferred, amount should be discounted

the difference between apparent sale value and fair value where sales are financed by the seller

revenue from the sale of goods recognised when all criteria are met:

transfer of significant risks and rewards

no continuing managerial involvement nor effective control of goods sold

revenue can be reliably measured

probable inflow of related economic benefits

reliable measurement of transaction costs

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

Two or more standards

contracts with customers may fall partly within the scope of IFRS 15 and partly within the scope of a different IFRS

if this different IFRS specifies how to measure and separate the two different elements, then that specification shall be followed first

the element that remains after that separation is then treated under the concepts identified by IFRS 15

Core principle
The core principle of the IFRS is that an entity should recognise revenue reflecting the transfer of promised goods to customers representing the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for that transfer of those goods

5 step model
the IFRS identifies a 5 step model to be applied in achieving that core principle
1

identify the contract with the customer

identify the performance obligations in the contract

determine the transaction price

allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

recognise revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation

The steps in greater detail


1

identify the contract with the customer


a contract with a customer falls within the IFRS if the following 5 conditions are met

the contract has been approved by the parties to the contract

each partys rights in relation to the goods to be transferred can be identified

the payment terms for the goods to be transferred can be identified

the contract has commercial substance

it is probable that the consideration to which the entity is entitled in exchange for the goods will be recoverable

where a contract does not yet satisfy all those five criteria, the entity shall continuously re-assess the situation to determine whether
all five are substantially satisfied and, when they are, the entity shall apply IFRS 15
modifications to contract terms or conditions
where there are modifications to the contract, and those modifications satisfy the above five criteria, the modification shall be
treated as a separate contract
if the modifications do not satisfy the criteria, then the treatment for the original contract shall itself be modified
this modified treatment may be applied retrospectively or prospectively dependent upon whether the goods to be delivered
under the modified contract are separable from those delivered before the modification

Chapter 24
IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

2 identify the performance obligations in the contract (this point is best considered in the context of a contract involving, say,
the delivery of plant accompanied by a continuing obligation to maintain the plant, that obligation to be satisfied over a period of,
say, 5 years)
at the time the contract is entered into, the entity should assess the goods and services to be delivered and identify as a performance
obligation:

goods (or bundles of goods) that are distinct, and

a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer

this latter point concerning a series of services to be transferred in the same pattern is relevant if both of two pre-conditions are
satisfied

each distinct service in the series promised to be transferred consecutively to the customer would be a performance
obligation satisfied over time, and

a single method of measuring progress would be used to measure the entitys progress towards total satisfaction of the
performance obligation to transfer those services to the customer

when are goods or services to be treated as distinct? Again, both of two pre-conditions are to be satisfied

the customer shall be able to benefit from the goods on their own or in conjunction with other readily available resource,
and

the entitys promise to transfer those goods is separately identifiable from other contractual promises


how do we identify separately identifiable? Guidance within the IFRS suggests some factors, but these do not necessarily
represent a comprehensive list. The list includes:

the entity does not provide a significant service of integrating the goods or services with other goods or services promised
within the contract

the services do not significantly modify other goods promised in the contract

the services are not closely interrelated nor highly dependent on other goods promised in the contract

determine the transaction price


essentially, this is the price agreed within the contract in respect of the transfer of the goods in satisfaction of the performance
obligation
but the contract may contain elements of the consideration that are variable

examples of variable elements include:


---

discounts, incentives, rebates, credits, refunds, price concessions, performance bonuses and penalties
it is also possible that variability exists where the entitys right to consideration is dependent upon the occurrence
or non-occurrence of some future event
variable consideration should only be included within the transaction price if it is highly probable that its inclusion will not result
in a significant revenue reversal in the future as a result of the subsequent resolution of the uncertainty
finally, if the uncertainty is because of royalty revenue based upon usage under a license agreement, that revenue shall be
recognised only when the actual usage has occurred

allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract


where a contract has multiple performance obligations, it is necessary to allocate the transaction price to those separate obligations.
again, think of it as a contract for the supply of plant with continuing obligation to service and maintain that plant over an extended
period following delivery
this allocation problem should be based on the separate relative stand-alone values
if it is not readily available to determine such stand-alone values, the entity will have to make appropriate estimates
IFRS suggests possible methods to be adopted in that estimation exercise

an adjusted market assessment approach

an approach using expected cost plus appropriate margin

and, in limited circumstances, a residual approach

any overall discount when compared with stand-alone values shall be allocated on a basis weighted to the performance obligations
where there is an agreement for payment in advance (or in arrears) the entity needs to consider whether the delay between
performance and payment includes an element of financing
if it does involve financing, then an adjustment should be made under the principles of discounting for the time value of money
5

recognise revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation


revenue is recognised when control is passed
benefits in the context of control are the potential cash flows directly or indirectly associated with the use of the asset
revenue shall be allocated over a time period if any one of the following criteria is satisfied

customer receives and consumes simultaneously the benefits provided by the entity at the time of the entitys performance

performance provided by the entity creates or improves the performance of an asset already under the customers control

entitys performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity

entity has an enforceable right to receive payment for the performance completed to date

in the situation that an entity does not render performance over a period of time into the future, then performance must have been
rendered at a single point in time
but the question arises, when is that single point in time when performance is rendered and control is passed?
IFRS suggests factors that may indicate that point in time, but these suggestions are not necessarily comprehensive. They include
when the:

entity gains the right to payment for the asset

customer is recognised as having legal ownership of the asset

entity has transferred physical possession of the asset

significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred by the entity to the custiomer

customer has accepted delivery of the asset

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

Costs of obtaining a contract

where an entity incurs costs in the process of gaining a contract, these costs should be capitalised as an asset where the entity
expects to recover those costs
but the capitalisation of costs should be restricted to just those that the entity would not have incurred if the contract had not
been successfully won

an example would be the enabling fees or introduction fees payable to an intermediary or agent

generally, costs involved in a contract are treated as assets only if all the following criteria are satisfied:

the costs are directly related to the contract

the costs are expected to be recovered, and

the costs either generate or improve the entitys resources that will be used in satisfying the performance obligations in the
future

these costs include matters such as direct labour, materials and overheads related to the contract and the asset thus recognised
shall be amortised on a basis consistent with the pattern of the transfer of goods and services transferred under the contract
numerical examples of the accounting treatment are in chapter 13 Accounting treatment of construction contracts

Presentation in the financial statements

a contract liability arises where a customer has paid in advance of the receipt goods or services under the contract
a contract asset arises where goods or services have been rendered to a customer but the customer has not yet settled the amount
in consideration of those goods or services
here it happens that the full recoverability of an asset arising under a contract is in doubt, then an impairment loss should be
w
recognised as an expense

Disclosures

in general, sufficient disclosure should be made of information in order to enable a user of financial statements to understand fully
the nature, amounts, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers
such information should be qualitative as well as quantitative in nature

IFRS 9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of
another entity

its a contract a piece of paper evidencing an asset of one entity and an obligation ( or increased equity ) of another

financial instrument assets may be


a debt asset which will be received some time in the future


for example, an investment in another entitys debentures, or

an equity asset
for example, an investment in another entitys shares, but not an investment in a subsidiary, associate, joint venture
nor pension fund

debt assets

initial measurement is at fair value and includes transaction costs

the only exception to this transaction cost inclusion rule is if the investment is not classed as at fair value through profit
and loss (FVTPL)

subsequent measurement is either at:

-amortised cost, or
-fair value
a debt asset may only be valued at amortised cost if it satisfies both of two tests
--

the business model test the asset is held with the intention of realising its cash flows rather than being held for
early sale, and

--

the cash flow characteristics test the asset terms are such that cash flows will arise on specific dates in the future
representing interest payments and repayments of principal
--

if either one of these tests is not satisfied, the asset must be classified as at FVTPL

--

even if both tests are satisfied, nevertheless the asset may be valued at FVTPL if, by doing so, it eliminates or
significantly reduces an inconsistency in measurements ( the fair value option )

--

annual changes in value go through statement of income

equity assets

these are measured at fair value...

... with any change in value being reflected in statement of income .

.unless an election is made at the date of acquisition to deal with changes in value through the statement of other
comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

such an election cannot be changed its irrevocable

so, if the election is made, only the dividend income from the investment will be recognized within the statement of income

if the investment was made with the intention of trading those shares, then it is not possible to elect to classify the
investment as at FVTOCI

on disposal, gains and losses previously recognized through statement of other comprehensive income cannot be recycled
through the statement of income

instead, on disposal, previously recognized gains and losses will be transferred to retained earnings through the statement
of changes in equity

reclassification

if an election was made to classify as at FVTOCI, then that asset cannot be reclassified

if the fair value option has been exercised for a debt asset, that too cannot be reclassified

but if the business model objective has changed, a debt asset instrument may be reclassified between FVTPL and amortised
cost, and vice versa

such a reclassification does not operate retrospectively, so any previously recognized gains or losses are not restated

impairments

IFRS 9 suggests that only assets held at amortised cost should be subjected to annual impairment review

but it is proposed that an expected loss model be introduced so investors holding financial assets will be required to
determine and account for expected losses when the asset is acquired rather than wait until the investee entity defaults

this will be achieved by making allowance for the expected losses over the life of the asset by acknowledging a potential
reduction in the income stream from that asset

examples
1

The accounting treatment on the disposal of an equity investment classified as at FVTOCI


-where shares were acquired some years ago for, say, $6,000 an election was made on acquisition to classify as at
FVTOCI
-throughout the period of ownership, the investment has been annually remeasured with increases and decreases
reflected in other comprehensive income and credited to Other components of Equity
-at the last year end, the fair value had risen to $9,600 and, at the date of disposal during this year, it had risen further
to $9,800
-only $200 will be recognized through this years statement of income. The previous gains of $3,600 will be transferred
from Other components of Equity to Retained earnings through the statement of changes in equity

Illustration of how the expected loss model will work


-A portfolio of debt instruments has been acquired and recognized at its cost of $40,000. The assets satisfy both the
business model test and the cash flow characteristics test and have been accounted for at amortised cost.
-The actual and effective rate of return is 6% but there is an element of doubt about the continuing viability of the
investee entities and, although there has been no default this year, it is considered likely that the actual rate of return
in the long run will be only 4%

in applying the expected loss model, only 4% return on the portfolio will be recognized in the statement of income.
The amount to be recognized before the expected loss review was 6% $40,000 ie $2,400 but the expected loss
restricts the amount to be recognized to just 4% $40,000 ie $1,600
the missing 2% ie $800 will be credited to the asset account reducing the value of the portfolio to $40,000 $800
ie $39,200

financial instrument liabilities


a financial instrument liability arises, for example, when a purchaser of goods or services on credit receives an invoice from
the supplier remember, its a contract

for our purposes, and for the exam, its more likely to arise when an entity raises finance by way of a debenture issue, or

equally, when an entity raises finance by way of a share issue, a financial instrument is created

financing of these two types of instrument is radically different and thats why it is important that they be correctly classified

a dividend paid on an equity share is an appropriation of profits and is accounted for through the statement of changes in
equity whereas .

. interest paid on a debenture is a finance charge reflected in the statement of income

equity instruments

an equity instrument evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after all liabilities have been settled in the event
of a liquidation

initial measurement is at fair value less any associated issue costs

beware the share premium!

illustration an entity issues 500,000 $1 equity shares for $2,20 each and pays issue costs of $10,000

the double entry would be:


Dr
Cr
Cr

Cash (500,000 $2,20) $10,000


Share capital (500,000 $1)
Share premium (500,000 $1,20) $10,000

1,090,000
500,000
590,000

having recorded the issue of shares at face value and the associated share premium ( net of issue costs ) the equity
instrument is not now remeasured

any increase in the value of the shares is enjoyed by the shareholders not by the entity

148 Chapter 28


IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 

financial liabilities ( as distinct from equity instruments )


these may be classified as either at amortised cost or at FVTPL

if at amortised cost ( applicable to the majority of financial instrument liabilities ) initial measurement is at fair value less any
related transaction costs

a financial instrument liability considers the effective rate ( given in an exam question ) compared with the nominal (
coupon ) rate

illustration an entity raises finance by issuing $600,000 4% debentures, redeemable in 3 years time at a premium of
$33,367. You are told that the effective rate of interest is 7%. No election has been made to treat the liability at FVTPL so it
will be accounted for on an amortised cost basis. Issue costs of $20,000 were incurred

this illustration involves initial measurement at fair value less related transaction costs

on issue, the double entry will be:


Dr

Cash with the net receipts


Cr
Liabilities debenture

580,000

in order to calculate the annual finance charge it is advisable to set out a table as follows:

note, if the interest rate / coupon rate had been zero, then no amount of interest would be paid. The only payment would
have been the amount paid on maturity at the end of the 3 years. But the annual finance charge using the effective interest
rate would be shown

compound / mixed instruments


these are financial instruments which have both a debt element and an equity element

classically, a convertible debenture

you will not be asked in an exam to calculate the effective rate of interest on any financial instrument

if its relevant, it will be stated in the question

in the situation of a compound instrument being issued, the issuing entity will need to value separately the debt element
and, by default, the equity element

in valuing the debt element, discounted cash flow techniques are applied to the future cash flows attributable to the debt

by deducting the total present value of the debt element from the face value of the compound instrument, we are left with
the equity element

illustration a $400,000 4% debenture was issued, redeemable at par in 3 years time. We are told that the effective rate of
interest is 7%. In this illustration, there are no transaction costs but, if there had been, these would have been proportionally
allocated between the debt and the equity elements

the debenture can be repaid in cash or the lender can opt to convert the debt into equity shares on agreed terms of, say,
750 $1 equity shares for each $1,000 debenture

in year 1 there will be a charge to the statement of income of $25,796 even though only $16,000 is actually paid. The
difference of $9,796 is added to the financial liability in the statement of financial position

similarly, in year 2 the finance charge in the statement of income will be $ 26,481 and the liability will be increased by
$10,481 ie $26,481 - $16,000 paid

at the end of year 3, the liability now stands at $400,000 and will be either repaid in cash or, if the lender chooses, it could
be settled by the issue of 300,000 $1 equity shares in which case the double entry would be:

AGRICULTURE

Agriculture standardises the accounting for agricultural activity


that is:

-the conversion of biological assets


-into agricultural produce
as a generalisation, the standard requires biological assets to be

measured at fair value less costs to sell

definitions

biological assets living plants and animals

agricultural produce the produce harvested from the biological assets

costs to sell incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset excluding finance costs and taxation

initial recognition

an entity should recognise a biological asset or agricultural produce only when the entity:
-----

controls the asset


as a result of past events
it is probable that future economic inflows will result
the asset and inflows are capable of reliable measurement

measurement

on initial recognition and on subsequent reporting dates, biological assets should be measured at fair value less estimated
costs to sell, unless.

.. fair value cannot be reliably measured (see below!)

agricultural produce should be measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the point of harvest

because harvested produce is a marketable commodity, there is no exception for measurement unreliability

any gain on initial recognition of biological assets at fair value less costs to sell, and any changes during a period in fair value
less costs to sell of biological assets are reported in the statement of profit or loss

similarly, any gain on initial recognition of agricultural produce at fair value less costs to sell should be included in the
statement of profit or loss for the period in which it arises

all costs related to biological assets measured at fair value are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are
incurred with the exception of the purchase cost of those assets

from above, there remains a problem with measurement of a biological asset for which fair value cannot be reliably measured

it is conceivable that, at initial measurement, there is no quoted price in an active market for the biological asset .

. and no alternative appropriate and workable method exists

151

152 Chapter 29


Agriculture 

Paper F7
December 2015 Examinations

in this case, the asset should be measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses

but the entity must still measure all of its other biological assets at fair value less costs to sell

and if circumstances change and fair value becomes reliably measurable, a switch to fair value less costs to sell is required

guidance on the measurement of fair value


best measure is quoted market price in an active market

if no active market, a marketbased price such as the most recent market price for that type (or similar) asset

if marketbased prices not available, the net present value of related cash flows from that asset, discounted at the entitys
current cost of capital

in rare circumstances, cost may be taken as fair value where there has been little or no change to the biological asset since
acquisition or where such change is not likely to have a material affect on value

the fair value of a biological asset is based on current prices and is not reflective of actual prices agreed in binding sales
contracts requiring delivery at some time in the future

sundry points

change in fair value of biological assets is part due to physical change

(asset is one year older) and part due to market price change

separate disclosure of the two elements is encouraged but not required

fair value measurement stops at harvest. After that, IAS on inventory applies

agricultural land is accounted for under IAS on PPE

but agricultural assets attached to the land (for example fruit trees) are measured separately from the land

intangible agricultural assets (for example milk quotas) are accounted for under IAS intangible assets

government grants unconditionally received in respect of biological assets measured at fair value less costs to sell are
accounted for as income in the period when the grant is receivable

but if the grant is conditional, it shall be recognised as income only when the conditions have been met

this includes grants receivable where an entity is required NOT to engage in agricultural activities

E xample 1
Numbers prepares financial statements to 30 September each year. On 1 October, 2012 Numbers carried out the following transactions:


Purchased a large piece of land for $47 million


Purchased 10,000 dairy cows (average age at 1 October, 2012 two years) for $2.35 million
Received a grant of $940,000 towards the acquisition of the cows. This grant was nonreturnable

During the year ending 30 September, 2013 Numbers incurred the following costs:

$1,175,000 to maintain the condition of the animals (food and protection).


$705,000 in breeding fees to a local farmer

On 1 April, 2013 5,000 calves were born. There were no other changes in the number of animals during the year ended 30 September,
2013
At 30 September, 2013 Numbers had 10,000 litres of unsold milk in inventory
The milk was sold shortly after the year end at market prices

Answer to Example 1
(a)

At the end of year 1


If the contract is not sufficiently advanced that the outcome is capable of estimation with reasonable certainty, then the percentage
completed will be applied to revenues and costs will be the same amount, thereby recognising no profit.
If the contract is sufficiently advanced (say 30%) then it would be appropriate to recognise 30% of the $1 million contract value
and 30% of the total estimated costs
If the contract is so far advanced (say 57%) that the probability of earning the additional $300,000 is high, then there is a case for
recognising also a proportion of the $300,000. It really would only be appropriate if the probability was virtually certain. This may
be viewed in either of two ways:
Either
57% $1,300,000
Less 57% total estimated costs

741,000
(x)
?

or
57% $1,000,000
+
95% $300,000
Less 57% total estimated costs

(b)

570,000
285,000
855,000
(x)
?

The bonus of $100,000 would be ignored in all circumstances, until received on completion (if at all!)
At the end of year 2
If the contract is not sufficiently advanced that the outcome is capable of estimation with reasonable certainty, then revenues and
costs will be recognised but no profit.
If the contract is sufficiently advanced, (say 40%) then it would be appropriate to recognise 40% of the $1 million contract value
and 40% of the total estimated costs.
If the contract is 60% advanced, (say 65%) then it would be appropriate to recognise 65% of $1 million plus 100% of $300,000,
and 65% of total estimated costs.
The bonus of $100,000 would be ignored in all circumstances, until received on completion (if at all!)

be an explanation of the circumstances and the uncertainties concerning timings, amounts and assumptions

Paper F7

Answers to Examples

December 2015 Examinations

Answer to Example 2

(a) There is neither a legal nor constructive obligation, because no obligating event has yet occurred. The directors could change their
minds, and decide to keep the Kaunas factory open. Therefore, no provision is appropriate.
(b) There is a detailed plan, the impact of which has been communicated to suppliers and the workforce. Paulius has therefore raised
the valid expectation in the minds of those affected. Although not a legal obligation, there is a constructive obligation arising from
some past event, involving the probable outflow of economic resource. A provision is therefore appropriate in the amount which
represents the best estimate of the costs of closing the Kaunas factory.

Answer to Example 3

If she has a 42% chance of losing, then she must have a 58% chance of winning. It is, therefore, not probable that she has an obligation.
No provision would be appropriate.
However, there is a possible obligation, arising from some past event, which may involve the outflow of economic resource.
The appropriate treatment in Justinas financial statements for the year ended 31 August, 2009 would therefore seem to be to treat the
matter as a contingent liability. This involves

a disclosure note of the past event,

the legal action outstanding,

an explanation of the uncertainties upon which the outcome depends, and

an estimate of the costs, were she to lose the case

Answer to Example 4
(a)

$130,000 is a certain liability. It should be provided for on her Statement of Financial Position and expensed through the
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 December, 2009.

(b)

It is more likely than not that Seimas will pass the new legislation. When it is passed, Ginta will have to pay to clear her
mining sites, so an outflow of economic resource will probably occur arising from some past event, her mining activities. A
provision would therefore seem appropriate. If she is unable to measure reliably the probable cost, then the matter should
be treated as a contingent liability.

(c)

Ginta has no obligation here. If faced with costs necessary to change her mining processes, she has the option to cease her
mining activities. Any estimate of costs involved in the change are irrelevant, since there is no obligation arising from a past
event. Any obligation lies in the future, and provision should not be made for the costs of future events.

Subject:

Analysis of Aurelijas Financial Statements 2008 and 2009

Introduction
1.1 This report analyses, with the use of ratios, the performance and financial position of Aurelija. Ratio calculations can be
found in the Appendix to this report.
Profitability
2.1 Whereas revenue has increased by 22%, and profit margin has been improved by almost 24% from 7.6% to 9.4%, the figures
are not in themselves particularly useful because they are so small
2.2 A Return on Capital Employed which has improved by more than 50% has to be seen in the light of the fact that it is still less
than 1% of the assets available to Aurelija.

2.3 Asset turnover also shows an improvement of 21%, but an ability to turn assets over fewer than once every 14 years is not
normally an indication of efficient management.
Efficiency and Liquidity
3.1 It is generally accepted that a current ratio of 2:1 is, dependent upon the nature of the industry in which the entity operates,
a sign of reasonable liquidity and efficiency. Unless Aurelija is, for example, a supermarket with fast turnover and no
receivables, the current ratio of 6:1 must be considered potentially as a sign of poor liquidity, particularly when compared
with the 2008 position of 1.5:1
3.2 As a measure of short term liquidity, the fall in the quick ratio from (almost) parity to 3:1 is a further cause for concern, even
more so in light of the fact that Aurelija raised $200,000 during the year by way of debenture issue.
3.3 Inventory/turnover has fallen from a respectable 6.3 times (just under 2 months) to a disappointing 4 times (every 3
months). Instead of having 6 opportunities each year to sell goods and make profits, this has fallen to just 4 opportunities.
3.4 The receivables collection period has increased alarmingly, from 46 days to 84 days. It may be that Aurelija has accumulated
some doubtful debts, which should be written off, or it may indicate a change in the mixture of cash and credit sales.
3.5 Whatever the cause, when combined with the inventory turnover ratio, Aurelija is only able to collect cash from inventory
after (91 + 84) 175 days or 6 months. (2008 104 days, 3 months)
3.6 Meanwhile, in acquiring that inventory, Aurelija is paying the suppliers within 176 days, compared with just 80 days in 2008.

3.7 All the above points suggest that Aurelija is suffering major cash flow problems, and could experience difficulty in the future
buying goods from suppliers at competitive prices.
Debt and financing
4.1 Aurelija has borrowed $200,000 in 2009, accounting for 2/3 of the interest charge in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income. In addition, the bank position has deteriorated by $409,000, and $280,000 has been borrowed
from suppliers
4.2 It is not apparent from the financial statements (without a Statement of Cash Flows for the year) to see where this $889,000
has been used.

4.3 Clearly only very little, if any, has been invested in new property, plant and equipment, but it does seem that a new car has
been purchased!
Other matters
5.1 Distribution costs as a percentage of revenue have decreased from 9% to 8.6%, and administrative expenses have risen from
7.4% of revenue to just over 8%. It would be interesting to identify the causes of these variations.
5.2 The dividend policy appears to be consistent in that 37% of profits available are distributed in both years.
Conclusion
6.1 Unless Aurelija is in a highly competitive industry/market, the initial impression is one of major underachievement. If Aurelija
were to close operations, and invest the proceeds in the bank, it would probably achieve a return of 4% net on $16,000, a
return of $640 compared with $64 in 2009 and $54 in 2008.
6.2 Further investigation is required in areas such as the age of tangible non-current assets, nature of the industry and Aurelijas
position within the industry, but on the surface this does not look to be a good entity to invest in.

December 2015 Examinations

Chapter 29
Answer to Example 1

(a) IAS 41 states that an entity should recognise agricultural produce or a biological asset when the following characteristics apply:

the entity controls the asset as a result of past events and

it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the entity and

the fair value or cost of the asset can be reliably measured

These are the same characteristics that apply to any asset to be recognised
Agricultural produce and biological assets are normally measured at fair value less estimated costs of sale
It is assumed that the fair value of agricultural produce and biological assets can be measured reliably.
That presumption can only be rebutted for agricultural produce and biological assets where market prices or values are not
available and alternative measures of fair value are clearly unreliable.
Such rebuttal must be made on initial recognition of the asset.
Historic cost is the most frequently used basis for reliable measurement
In the context of measuring the value of many assets, historic cost is appropriate but in the context of biological assets
(for example newly born livestock) the concept of cost is not an easy one to apply and so fair value could well be more
appropriate.

December 2015 Examinations

Workings
W1 Land
Land is not an asset to which IAS 41 is applied the relevant standard is IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
Land would be recorded at cost on initial acquisition and is not normally subjected to depreciation
Under the benchmark treatment laid down in IAS 16 no recognition would be made of postacquisition changes in
the value of the land unless the class of asset is treated on a revaluation basis with surpluses taken to a Revaluation
Reserve
W2 Cows
Under the fair value model laid down in IAS 41 the mature cows would be recognised in the balance sheet at 30
September, 2013 at their fair value of 10,000 X $227.95 = $2,279,500
The difference between the fair value of the mature herd and its cost ($2,279,500 $2,350,000 = a loss of $70,500)
would be charged in the statement of profit or loss, as also will the maintenance costs of $1,175,000
W3 Grant
Grants relating to agricultural activity are not subject to the normal requirement of IAS 20 Government Grants in that
they are not credited to the statement of profit or loss over a period of time
Instead, under IAS 41, government agricultural grants are credited to income as soon as they are unconditionally
receivable rather than being recognised over the useful economic life of the asset to which they relate
Therefore $940,000 would be credited to income by Numbers
W4 Calves
The calves are a biological asset and the fair value model is applied
The breeding fees of $705,000 are charged to income and an asset of 5,000 x $58.15 = $290,750 recognised in the
statement of financial position and credited to income in the statement of profit or loss
W5 Milk
Milk is agricultural produce and is initially recognised on the same basis as biological assets
Thus the milk would be valued at 10,000 x $1.29 = $12,900
In the context of IAS 2 Inventories, this figure is taken to be cost for the unsold milk

The land and buildings were purchased on 1 April 1995. The cost of the land was $70 million. No land and buildings have been purchased
by Kala since that date. On 1 April 2010 Kala had its land and buildings professionally valued at $80 million and $175 million respectively.
The directors wish to incorporate these values into the financial statements. The estimated life of the buildings was originally 50 years and
the remaining life has not changed as a result of the valuation.
Plant, other than leased plant (see below), is depreciated at 15% per annum using the reducing balance method. Depreciation of buildings
and plant is charged to cost of sales.
On 1 April 2010 Kala entered into a lease for an item of plant which had an estimated life of five years. The lease period is also five years
with annual rentals of $22 million payable in advance from 1 April 2010. The plant is expected to have a nil residual value at the end of
its life. If purchased this plant would have a cost of $92 million and be depreciated on a straight-line basis. The lessor includes a finance
cost of 10% per annum when calculating annual rentals. (Note: you are not required to calculate the present value of the minimum lease
payments.)

To reflect a marked increase in property prices, the company decided to revalue its leased property on 1 April 2011. The Directors accepted
the report of an independent surveyor who valued the leased property at $36 million on that date. The company has not yet recorded the
revaluation. The remaining life of the leased property is eight years at the date of the revaluation. The company makes an annual transfer
to retained profits to reflect the realisation of the revaluation reserve. In the local tax jurisdiction the revaluation does not give rise to a
deferred tax liability.
On 1 April 2011, the company acquired an item of plant under a finance lease agreement that had an implicit finance cost of 10% per
annum. The lease payments in the trial balance represent an initial deposit of $2 million paid on 1 April 2011 and the first annual rental of
$6 million paid on 31 March 2012. The lease agreement requires further annual payments of $6 million on 31 March each year for the next
four years. Had the plant not been leased it would have cost $25 million to purchase for cash.
Plant and equipment (other than the leased plant) is depreciated at 20% per annum using the reducing balance method.
No depreciation/amortisation has yet been charged on any non-current asset for the year ended 31 March 2012. Depreciation and
amortisation are charged to cost of sales.

Question 12
The company had been carrying land and buildings at depreciated cost, but due to a recent rise in property prices, it decided to revalue its
property on 1 October; 2011 to market value. An independent valuer confirmed the value of the property at $60 million (land element $12
million) as at that date and the directors accepted this valuation. The property had a remaining life of 16 years at the date of its revaluation.
A transfer from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings will be made in respect of the realisation of the revaluation reserve. Ignore
deferred tax on the revaluation.
Plant and equipment is depreciated at 15% per annum using the reducing balance method.
No depreciation has yet been charged on any non-current asset for the year ended 30 September, 2012. All depreciation is charged to
cost of sales.

Question 13
On 1 October, 2012, the company terminated the production of one of its product lines. From this date, the plant used to manufacture the
product has been actively marketed at an advertised price of $42 million which is considered realistic. It is included in the trial balance at
a cost of $9 million with accumulated depreciation (at 1 April 2012) of $5 million.
On 1 April, 2012, the directors decided that the financial statements would show an improved position if the land and buildings were
revalued to market value. At that date, an independent valuer valued the land at $12 million and the buildings at $35 million and these
valuations were accepted by the directors. The remaining life of the buildings at that date was 14 years. A transfer to retained earnings for

Question 8
On 1 April, 2009 P purchased 80% of the equity shares in S. The acquisition was through a share exchange of three shares in P for every five

The fair values of the net assets of S at the date of acquisition were equal to their carrying amounts with the exception of an item of
plant which had a carrying amount of $12 million and a fair value of $17 million. This plant had a remaining life of five years (straight-line
depreciation) at the date of acquisition of S. All depreciation is charged to cost of sales.
In addition S owns the registration of a popular internet domain name. The registration, which had a negligible cost, has a five year
remaining life (at the date of acquisition); however, it is renewable indefinitely at a nominal cost. At the date of acquisition the domain
name was valued by a specialist company at $20 million.
The fair values of the plant and the domain name have not been reflected in Ss financial statements.
The non-controlling interest in S is to be valued at its (full) fair value at the date of acquisition. For this purpose Ss share price at that date
can be taken to be indicative of the fair value of the shareholding of the non-controlling interest

Question 9
On 1 April, 2009 P acquired 75% of Ss equity shares in a share exchange of three shares in P for every two shares in S. The market prices of
Ps and Ss shares at the date of acquisition were $320 and $450 respectively.
In addition to this P agreed to pay a further amount on 1 April, 2010 that was contingent upon the post-acquisition performance of S. At
the date of acquisition P assessed the fair value of this contingent consideration at $42 million, but by 31 March, 2010 it was clear that the
actual amount to be paid would be only $27 million (ignore discounting). P has recorded the share exchange and provided for the initial
estimate of $42 million for the contingent consideration
At the date of acquisition the fair values of Ss property, plant and equipment was equal to its carrying amount with the exception of Ss
factory which had a fair value of $2 million above its carrying amount. S has not adjusted the carrying amount of the factory as a result
of the fair value exercise. This requires additional annual depreciation of $100,000 in the consolidated financial statements in the postacquisition period.
Also at the date of acquisition, S had an intangible asset of $500,000 for software in its statement of financial position. Ps directors believed
the software to have no recoverable value at the date of acquisition and S wrote it off shortly after its acquisition
Ps policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. For this purpose Ss share price at that date can be
deemed to be representative of the fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest.

At the date of acquisition, the fair values of Ss property, plant and equipment was equal to its carrying amount with the exception of
Ss plant which had a fair value of $4 million above its carrying amount. At that date the plant had a remaining life of four years. S uses
straight-line depreciation for plant assuming a nil residual value.
Also at the date of acquisition, P valued Ss customer relationships as a customer base intangible asset at fair value of $3 million. S has not
accounted for this asset. Trading relationships with Ss customers last on average for six years

Question 14
On 1 April, 2013, P acquired 75% of the equity share capital of S. S had been experiencing difficult trading conditions and making significant
losses. In allowing for Ss difficulties, P made an immediate cash payment of only $150 per share. In addition, P will pay a further amount
in cash on 30 September, 2014 if S returns to profitability by that date. The value of this contingent consideration at the date of acquisition
was estimated to be $18 million, but at 30 September, 2013 in the light of continuing losses, its value was estimated at only $15 million.
The contingent consideration has not been recorded by P. Overall, the directors of P expect the acquisition to be a bargain purchase
leading to negative goodwill.
At the date of acquisition shares in S had a listed market price of $120 each.
At the date of acquisition, the fair values of Ss assets were equal to exception of a leased property. This had a fair value of $2 million above
its carrying amount and a remaining lease term of 10 years at that date. All depreciation is included in cost of sales
Ps policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. For this purpose, Ss share price at that date can be
deemed to be representative of the fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest.

Question 15
On 1 October, 2013, P acquired 90 million of Ss 150 million $1 equity shares. The acquisition was achieved through a share exchange of
one share in P for every three shares in S. At that date the stock market prices of Ps and Ss shares were $4 and $250 per share respectively.
Additionally, P will pay $154 cash on 30 September, 2014 for each share acquired. Ps finance cost is 10% per annum.
The retained earnings of S brought forward at 1 April, 2013 were $120 million and S profit after tax for the year ended 31 March, 2014 was
$80,000

with the following exceptions:

the fair value of Ss land was $2 million in excess of its carrying amount
an item of plant had a fair value of $6 million in excess of its carrying amount. The plant had a remaining life of two years at the date
of acquisition. Plant depreciation is charged to cost of sales.
P placed a value of $5 million on Ss good trading relationships with its customers. P expected, on average, a customer relationship
to last for a further five years. Amortisation of intangible assets is charged to administrative expenses.
Ps policy is to value the non-controlling interest at the date of acquisition at its fair value. For this purpose, the share price of S at
that date (1 October, 2013) is representative of the fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest.

Question 16
On 1 January, 2014 P acquired 80% of the $1 equity shares in S. The consideration was settled by a share for share exchange of 2 shares
in P for every 3 shares in S acquired. At the date of acquisition the respective fair values for the shares in P and in S were $3 and $2.50. In
addition, P has agreed to pay 27.5 cents per share acquired on 1 January, 2015.
The directors of P value non-controlling interests on a fair value basis and the share price of the S shares can be taken to be representative

11 Revenue
Question 1
Revenue includes $16 million for goods sold to a customer on 1 October, 2008. The terms of the sale are that the company will incur
ongoing service and support costs of $12 million per annum for three years after the sale. The company normally makes a gross profit of
40% on such servicing and support work. Ignore the time value of money.
What adjustment is necessary to the financial statements as at 31 March, 2009?

Question 2
Revenue includes goods sold and despatched in September 2011 on a 30-day right of return basis. Their selling price was $24 million
and they were sold at a gross profit margin of 25%. The company is uncertain as to whether any of these goods will be returned within
the 30-day period.
What adjustment is necessary to the financial statements as at 30 September 2011?

Question 3
On 1 October, 2011, the first day of the accounting period, the company sold one of its products for $10 million and included this amount
in revenue. As part of the sale agreement, the company is committed to the ongoing servicing of this product until 30 September, 2014
(i.e. three years from the date of sale). The value of this service has been included in the selling price of $10 million. The estimated cost to
the company of the servicing is $600,000 per annum and the normal gross profit margin on this type of servicing is 25%.
What adjustment, if any, is necessary to the financial statements as at 30 September 2012? Ignore discounting.

Question 4
Revenue includes the sale of $10 million of maturing inventory
made to a customer on 1 October, 2012. The cost of the goods at the date of sale was $7 million and the company has an option to
repurchase these goods at any time within three years of the sale at a price of $10 million plus accrued interest from the date of sale at
10% per annum. At 31 March, 2013, the financial year end, the option had not been exercised, but it is highly likely that it will be before
the date it lapses.
What adjustment is necessary to the financial statements as at 30 September 2012?

Question 5
Revenue includes an amount of $20 million for cash sales made through the companys retail outlets during the year on behalf of Francais.
The company, acting as agent for Francais, is entitled to a commission of 10% of the selling price of these goods. By 31 March, 2014, the
company had remitted to Francais $15 million (of the $20 million sales) and recorded this amount in cost of sales.

Loan interest / preference dividends

Answer 1

8% 50,000 = 4,000 loan interest for a full year


But its only for 9 months, so S of C1 should be charged with 9/12 4,000 = 3,000
Only 2,000 is in the trial balance
need to accrue 1,000 (ie 3,000 2,000)

DR

Finance costs
1,000
CR Current liabilities

1,000

Answer 2

8% 20,000 = 1,600 pref div for a full year


But, effective rate is 12%
So full charge should be 12% 20,000 = 2,400 for a full year
But these are only in issue for 6 months
Therefore correct charge in S of CI is 6/12 12% 20,000 ie, 1,200
In trial balance, 800 has been paid
Therefore need to accrue a further 400

DR

Finance Costs

CR Long term liability

Answer 3

6% 80,000 = 4,800 loan interest for a full year


But this is only a 6 month loan
So correct S of CI charge is 6/12 6% 80,000 ie, 2,400
In trial balance, 800 has been paid
Therefore need to accrue a further 1,600

DR Finance costs

$000
Non-current assets
50 higher
Inventory
20 lower (all now sold)
Depreciation arising on the fair value adjustment to non-current assets since this date is $5,000.

(4)

During the year, Wear sold inventory to Seat for $16,000, which originally cost Wear $10,000. Three-quarters of this inventory has
subsequently been sold by Seat.
All three entities proposed a dividend of $20,000 before the year end which have not yet been accounted for.
Goodwill had been fully impaired by 1 January 20X4.

Nice has been following paragraph 39 of IAS 16 which allows a reserve transfer to retained earnings of the realised
revaluation surplus (the difference between depreciation based on revalued amount and depreciation based on
cost) as the asset is used.

The properties had a valuation on 31 December 20X9 of $110,000. Nice previously accounted for its investment
properties by crediting gains to a revaluation surplus as allowed in the past by IAS 25. Nice now wishes to apply the
fair value model of IAS 40 which states that gains and losses should be accounted for in the Statement of Profit or
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and that any previous revaluation surplus should be treated as a change in
accounting policy. No adjustment has yet been made for the change in accounting policy or subsequent fall in value.
Share capital
During the year the entity had the following changes to its capital structure.

(d)

(i)
A bonus issue of $200,000 $1 equity bonus shares capitalising its share premium account
